Li Mu has been fighting with other companies once or twice. If a friend comes forward to mediate and can make him give up his demands, then Muye Technology will not be as high as it is today.

Therefore, when Spielberg was entrusted to call Li Mu for personal favor, Li Mu had no room for mediation at all.

As a businessman with a strong sense of business, Spielberg understood the importance behind this incident to Roland Maas and the entire Mars company. He knew that if he could leverage Li Mu's leverage through favors, it would be of great value to Roland Maas and Mars. In the future, Roland Maas would definitely thank him with practical actions, so he tried to plead for Roland Maas.

The Jews were very good at doing business. In Spielberg's eyes, he could be a middleman in this matter. He could use his favors to "buy" forgiveness from Li Mu, who was upstream, and then sell the forgiveness to Roland Maas downstream in exchange for actual benefits.

In his opinion, this is a business that is profitable without any capital. If it is done, it will make a big profit and if it is lost, it will lose.

So, after Li Mu refused, Spielberg still begged: "Mr. Li, Roland is also my old friend. I know his character. Sometimes he is very impulsive, but he is not a bad person in nature. Moreover, the conflict between him and you this time was caused by his EO's wrong decision. He did not want this, so he hopes that you can give up your hands..."

Li Mu said in a serious tone: "Stephen, we are good friends and partners, so when I reject your request, you must distinguish the interests."

As he said that, Li Mu paused for a moment and said, "I rejected your request, not to give you face, nor to be in trouble with you. It's just that this matter is not something that anyone can solve by pleading. No matter how powerful a magnet is, it cannot absorb plastic, because this is the existence of two dimensions. Can you understand?"

Spielberg immediately knew what Li Mu meant. He knew that Li Mu had rejected it very thoroughly. If his favors were compared to magnets, then the conflict between Roland Maas and him was plastic. He could use the favors magnets to absorb iron-containing objects, but they were useless to plastic.

Judging from the extremely high return on investment of this matter, Spielberg wanted to give it a try again, but the reason in his mind warned himself that he had touched Li Mu's high-voltage line and immediately pulled back and returned it. Otherwise, let alone not to mention not being able to help Roland Maas, his relationship with him might be greatly affected.

So Spielberg immediately said, "Mr. Li, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I won't talk about this again in the future."

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since you have a friendship with that Roland Maas, tell him for me that no one can touch my porcelain. Since he touched it, he would have to pay enough price. Otherwise, there would be so many companies around the world who lined up to touch my porcelain, how could I kill a warning to you!"

Li Mu's words were underestimated, but the unquestionable and firmness in his tone still made Spielberg feel huge pressure. He was frightened by Li Mu's words. Only then did he realize that Li Mu had already regarded Roland Maas as the target of killing a warning to all, and wanted to fight a crushing war in front of entrepreneurs all over the world. On the one hand, he punished Roland Maas, and on the other hand, it also made others afraid and even surrender.

The rapid rise of Makino Technology is like a huge country that has just been established and developed rapidly, and almost all around it are old-fashioned powers.

In order to establish its strong image, Makino Technology must do its best to deal with all provocations. Once a country wants to grin at it, it must hold it down and beat it, screaming and begging for mercy.

Only in this way can other old-fashioned powers be afraid and afraid, and win enough respect for themselves and a period of peaceful development.

Li Mu's strategy formulation is largely a learning of the great strategy of the founding leader. A newly-rise country must do its best in the first foreign war, so that the jackals and tigers in the world can be afraid of it.

The decades of peaceful development of China are inseparable from the arduous and great battle in the northern part of the peninsula.

As a Chinese son and daughter with a strong root, Li Mu naturally understands the importance of this "first time". He wants to mess with his own companies all over the world. If he doesn't beat the first one to death, kill, or subdue the first one. How can he live his life in the future?

...

The moment Roland Maas received the call from Spielberg, he was looking forward to him bringing him good news. Unexpectedly, the news he brought to him was much worse than he expected.

He originally thought that Li Mu was just going to go against Mars because he was very unhappy, but Spielberg's call made him understand that Li Mu wanted to use himself to scare the monkey.

In addition to the literal meaning of killing a chicken to warn the monkey, there is also a subtext: the chicken may not be guilty of death, but because it is to be killed for the monkey to show, it is "the crime should be punished."

After learning about Li Mu's attitude towards him, Roland Maas immediately became panicked. Now, the entire Mars has lost his mouthpiece. It is already a dream to fight a propaganda war with Li Mu. If this matter continues to develop, Mars will only get deeper and deeper. If Mars' global sales collapse, then Mars will lose half of his life, and it will be difficult to return to the top 500 in the world and the top three private companies in the United States.

Compared with Internet companies, the operating model of physical manufacturing is much slower, more stupid, and more heavy.

Internet companies are like a lightweight, powerful, and sensitive to steering and brakes. They can brake suddenly, accelerate suddenly, and make sharp turns.

In daily operations, the Internet can directly use intuitive data to see the number of active people on your website and app every day. If there are clues of fluctuations, you can immediately see it and make direct adjustments.

For example, a shopping website has 500,000 online users at 10 am every day, with 10 orders per second, but at 10 am that day, there are 480,000 online users and 85 orders per second. This data continues. By 10:20, eO may have called the operation manager to the office and scolded him. At 10:30, the operation manager may have already led the team to find the reason.

If the product section that just went on makes the user not satisfied, you can go offline immediately after finding out and never go on again, this is a sudden brake;

If a bug occurs in a certain section of the product, causing the user experience to decline, the technical department can fix it immediately, which is a sharp turn;

If the competitor has recently promoted a lot and has taken away some users, the market department can immediately invest more costs and resources to increase promotion, which is an emergency acceleration.

Compared with Internet companies, companies like Mars are very difficult to accelerate, slow down, and turn, and are more like a giant tanker.

Each of Mars' products must undergo a long period of research and development and testing, even food. After the research and development and testing, if you want to put it on the market, you must first build a or even several production lines, recruit and train professional technicians, and then carry out mass production. This means that the starting speed is very slow and you need to move forward step by step.

Just like a giant tanker, although it has a large capacity, it starts slowly and accelerates slowly.

In daily operations, once a product has a problem or the entire product line has a problem, the company cannot reduce production immediately, because behind the production cuts, it represents the reduction of production lines and labor, represents the increase in unit cost of raw materials, represents the increase in unit production costs, and also represents the handover of market share.

The operation of the production line is more like the operation of a giant tanker. The process of acceleration from scratch consumes huge power. However, once it enters the right track, it can ensure stable and constant operation at a constant speed. If you need to slow down in the middle, it cannot be achieved by stepping on the brakes. Instead, it requires a lot of fuel to be used for reverse pushing. Once the speed falls, if you want to speed up again, you need to do work forward again.

If Mars is sure that its sales will not increase again in the future, then it is certainly a wise choice to reduce production now, but the problem is that Mars is not sure whether it can re-invigorate sales in a short period of time in the future.

Roland Maas knew very well that if there was a glimmer of opportunity, Mars could not reduce production immediately.

His current situation is very similar to the operation of dairy farmers pouring milk into the river during the Great Depression in the United States.

On the surface, the evil capitalists would rather pour milk into the river than to distribute it to the poor.

But if you analyze it carefully, it is actually not the capitalists who pour the milk into the river, but the dairy farmers. These dairy farmers may be even more pitiful than the poor.

In that era, once the milk market was not good, capitalists would immediately stop purchasing and hold on to the currency, because only currency has no shelf life and no inventory pressure.

The milk in the hands of dairy farmers will be unsalable because it cannot be cashed out. Most of the milk that is poured into the river are poor dairy farmers.

In that era, the shelf life of milk was only one or two days. If it could not be sold, it would rot and deteriorate. Even if dairy farmers wanted to give milk to people who were poorer than themselves, the storage, transportation, distribution, and even publicity of milk required a lot of money. How could they save money by pouring it nearby?

Moreover, the worst thing for dairy farmers is that they have to continue feeding their cows and milking their cows while knowing that they can’t sell them.

The reason is that they cannot slaughter their cows just because they cannot sell milk for the time being, nor can they stop milking their cows and reduce feeding of cows just because they cannot sell milk for the time being. After all, they will rely on cows to support their families in the future. They must hold on to the first wave of milk for the milk market until the milk market becomes better.

This is actually the same as the production line.

Roland Maas can already foresee that Mars' next step will face the dilemma faced by dairy farmers back then.

At this time, he began to be confused whether he chose to resist or bow to Li Mu?

I apologize for guilt. Now, after comprehensively measuring it, it seems that it is not so difficult to accept...
