Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

However, Boss Yang always only looked at the results and did not ask about the employment standards of the process, which made the Yang consortium very powerful in some aspects, especially in sales, which fully reflected this standard.

Without too much delay, John Chambers collected his mood, left the sales department, and went upstairs to the chairman's office.

Whether he can continue to stay in the company in the future depends on whether the new boss is willing to give him another chance.

in the chairman's office

With Yang Chen taking over Wang An Computer Company, the chairman's office has changed its appearance at this time. Yang Chen is not very cold about the old man's preferences. After the people below cleaned it up carefully, he barely made our boss Yang a little satisfied.

In fact, this office is just a decoration. After a while, it's hard to say whether Boss Yang will come here in the future.

Looking at the drastically changed office, Wang Lie felt somewhat uncomfortable. Thinking of his father's hard work for half his life, and finally made a wedding dress for someone else, Wang Lie couldn't help blaming himself for being useless.

Fortunately, Wang Lie grew up in the United States, and he is not so conservative in his thinking. He is unwilling to return to the change of ownership of his company, but he is not willing to die.

After all, this kind of thing is very common in the United States. One generation starts a business, the second generation keeps the business if they are capable, and become idle rich if they are not capable.

After more than a year of experience, Wang Lie is also a little bit optimistic. Rather than working hard on his own and failing to do well in the end, it is better to be a director and feel at ease.

"Chairman, Vice President John Chambers has arrived."

"Please come in!"

Walking into the office, John Chambers saw Yang Chen and Wang Lie making tea inside, and bent slightly, "Chairman, general manager."

"John, come and sit down." Wang Lie greeted.

"Thank you, general manager." John Chambers glanced at Boss Yang, seeing that he didn't respond, he walked over to Wang Lie and sat down.

Wang Lie put the tea he had poured in front of John Chambers, and said, "Don't call me the general manager, I will retire in two days."

John Chambers didn't answer the call, and Wang Lie's position as general manager was not guaranteed. Everyone knew that if Boss Yang didn't change people, there was no need to take over Wang An Computer Company as a controlling shareholder.

After John Chambers came in, Yang Chen didn't speak a word, because he couldn't figure out why the sales of Wang An's computer dropped so badly with this great master in the company.

John Chambers, this name may not be familiar to many people, but if a company is mentioned, then everyone will definitely understand why Boss Yang called him over alone.

Cisco, many people must have heard of this company, a technology company that monopolizes global routers and switches. Its equipment carries 80.00% of the world's Internet communications. legend.

Cisco was founded in [-]. The founders were a couple of teachers from Stanford University, Leonard Bosack, director of the Computer Center of the Department of Computer Science, and Santi Lerner, director of the Computer Center of the School of Business. He designed a networking device called a "multi-protocol router" for the Stanford campus network to integrate incompatible computer local area networks on campus to form a unified network.

This networking device is considered to be a sign of the real arrival of the networking era. John Chambers’ previous life was in [-], when Wang An Computer was facing bankruptcy and liquidation. He resigned from Wang An Computer and joined Cisco, which was just listed at that time.

Since John Chambers became the CEO of Cisco in [-], Cisco has officially entered the peak.

John Chambers himself is a legend, he has a well-known title, the king of mergers and acquisitions.

In the past 20 years, Cisco has derived the company's business into all walks of life in Internet technology through continuous mergers and acquisitions. Whenever Cisco needs it, this boss will buy it if he disagrees.

That's it, the boss turned Cisco from a router company into a technology giant with a market value of $5000 billion through continuous acquisitions.

After the rise of Cisco, the Internet and data transmission routers, switches and other network equipment markets are almost all controlled by Cisco.

This person worked in IBM for seven years, and then joined Wang An Computer Company. Now he is the marketing director of Wang An Computer Company, and has been doing marketing and sales work.

Next, Wangan Computer needs to change, especially the software defects need to be made up. At this time, the company needs an excellent talent to take the position of CEO.

Although Jobs has agreed to join Wang An Computer, Jobs is not a qualified manager. His main energy and role are still in the research and development of software. Sales and company management need another person to cooperate with him.

Yang Chen searched, and selected John Chambers from Wang An Computer's high-level executives. Whether it is Jobs or John Chambers, the two people have the same philosophy, that is, they will produce whatever the customer needs. , what to sell.

Putting customer needs first is the philosophy of the two masters.

As for Boss Yang, John Chambers, as the senior executive of Wang An Computer Company, can maintain stable development of the company to a large extent.

John Chambers is in charge of sales and company management, and Jobs is in charge of product research and development. If the two cooperate well, the resurgence of Wang An Computer is just around the corner.

As for the Cisco company in the future, Yang Chen will not give up. Cisco has not yet been listed. When he succeeds in becoming a shareholder, after the other party goes public, he will send John Chambers over there, and then let the other party set up Cisco.

Before the tech bubble, the later generations of Cisco once had a market value of 5000 billion US dollars. He would not let go of such a good opportunity to make money.

Regardless of whether the other party is suitable or not, let's talk about it after working for a few years.

Anyway, for better or for worse, this man is doomed not to escape the fate of working for him.

Chapter 1017 Decentralization

Three days later, after Jobs and John Chambers were formally confirmed to be in charge of Wang An Computer Company, Wang An Computer Company, which had been quiet for a long time, finally announced the first round of personnel changes.

In the eyes of the outside world, the personnel of Wang An Computer Company has changed a lot. The crown prince Wang Lie resigned as the general manager, indirectly declaring that Wang and his son have completely lost their leadership over Wang An Computer, a technology giant.

As far as Yang Chen is concerned, Wang An Computer Company has not changed much. Except for the new face of the financial department, the managers and employees of other departments at all levels have not undergone any changes. In the entire company, only Wang Lie, the general manager, retreated behind the scenes and served as the director. One position, the rest of the senior positions remain unchanged.

The post of general manager was taken by former sales executive John Chambers, vice president, which made the high-level and middle and low-level executives of Wang An Computer Company couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The position of general manager is the top administrative executive in Wang An Computer Company, who manages all the company's affairs. John Chambers took over the position of general manager, which shows that the new boss still recognizes the senior management of Wang An Computer.

The matter of the emperor and the courtiers did not happen, and the floating heart of the big guy naturally fell.

However, what many people don't understand is that the company has an additional vice chairman. This airborne leader directly surpasses all levels of R&D department directors, making the company's senior management feel optimistic about the show.

The R&D department is the most important department of Wang An Computer, and it is also the core department with the largest number of people. Such a department is controlled by an outsider. Everyone wants to see what John Chambers, the new general manager, will do.

You must know that the other party holds the title of vice chairman, and is nominally one level higher than the general manager. In the eyes of many people, the person who came down from the air should be used by the big boss to check and balance the general manager, John Chambers. of.

The only thing that surprised everyone was that the person who descended from the air was not a high-level executive of the Yang consortium, but a founder who was driven out by his own company.

Since Apple's listing, it has attracted the attention of many people, especially Wang An Computer, which is also a technology company. Many people have heard of Jobs' name.

The reason why Jobs was kicked out of Apple was very straightforward. Apple's reason was that Jobs was too young, too inexperienced, and so on.

Anyway, the answer given by Apple is just one point, Jobs is not suitable to lead the current Apple company.

This young man in his early thirties became the vice chairman of Wang An Computer Company just two years after he was kicked out of Apple.

It has to be said that this kind of dramatic change not only caused a lot of discussion among the internal staff of Wang An Computer Company, but also caused the outside media to be curious and report it.

Everyone is very curious about what kind of charm Jobs has that can make the richest man Yang so valued.

Most people agree with Boss Yang's vision. After all, becoming the world's richest man at a young age is already beyond the scope of a genius, er, and belongs to a proper evildoer.

In particular, the Yang's consortium has developed rapidly, and it is now completely comparable to the world's top consortiums.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, since Boss Yang values ​​Jobs, the person who was driven out of his company, it means that the other party has some special qualities that make Boss Yang attach great importance to him.

For Jobs to be the vice chairman, although the internal staff of Wang An Computer were surprised, they surprisingly did not resist.

As for the reasons, there are two.
