The headquarters building of Wang'an Computer Company welcomes the new chairman Liu Qingshan.

A company's senior executives, led by acting CEO Miller, greeted him in front of the building.

Due to the failure some time ago, Wang Lie was removed from his position as chairman and then invited a professional manager, Mr. Miller.

In fact, because of Liu Qingshan's intervention, the timeline of this matter was nearly a year ahead of schedule.

Miller is indeed a talent. In his original development trajectory, after he took office, he quickly wiped out Wang An’s debt of hundreds of millions of dollars.

However, the building will collapse, not just by one's own efforts. Wang An Computer declared bankruptcy in 1992.

Liu Qingshan looked up at the huge logo on the company building. On the sky blue base, there were several huge letters: WANG.

Liu Qingshan whispered: "WANG, I will not tell you to decline, I will only make you more glorious, you will become the real king in the industry!"

All the employees around were moved.

Their mood is actually very complicated. On the one hand, they have feelings for their old boss.

On the other hand, they are also worried about being fired. After all, since the beginning of this year, the company has laid off a large number of employees due to poor management.

You should know that at the peak of Wang'an Computer Company, the number of employees exceeded 30,000, which was definitely a top-level company.

It is precisely in this kind of uneasy that the company welcomes Liu Qingshan, the new president.

But at least the first sentence they heard made them have a good impression of the new president.

Miller and other company executives surrounded Liu Qingshan and Jiang Renyi behind him and entered the building together.

This is just the company's headquarters building, and there are several supporting factories. The most awesome is the largest laboratory in the computer industry in the United States.

In the laboratory, there are hundreds of top computer experts. Just supporting these experts, the annual expenses are hundreds of millions.

The foundation laid by Mr. Wang An is really good.

In addition to the unqualified heirs, the biggest problem that led to the decline of Wang'an Computer was actually that there were huge deviations in business strategies.

Mr. Wang An has always believed that computers should take the high-end route and produce complex and sophisticated computers for large factories and enterprises.

This is not wrong in the early stages of computer development.

However, in the mid-to-late 1980s, the focus of computer development has shifted to office computers and home computers that are simpler and more affordable.

It is reasonable that Wang An Computer failed to seize the opportunity and was eliminated by the times during this transformation.

The group came to the largest conference hall, with a huge round table, and sat with more than 40 senior executives of Wang An's computer.

Liu Qingshan's eyes slowly looked around:

"Dear everyone, good morning, I'm very happy to see so many elites in the industry. This proves that our Wang'an Computer Company has a talent reserve that has risen again. I hope we will work together."

No matter what the purpose is, the people here still applaud politely.

Liu Qingshan nodded slightly and continued, "I will talk about personnel appointments below."

Those present couldn't help but stand up because it was related to their jobs.

In fact, they were also mentally prepared. The principle of the emperor and the ministers is universal.

Liu Qingshan's eyes first fell on Jiang Renyi beside him: "This is Mr. Jiang Renyi, the newly established technology president of the company, and is responsible for the company's technical research and development and development."

Jiang Renyi stood up and bowed slightly, and everyone also gave applause.

Liu Qingshan continued: "Mr. Miller, officially appointed as the company's vice president, is mainly responsible for the sales of products."

Miller also stood up and bowed. Although he was the CEO, he was just an agent. Since he had changed his boss, it would be nice to get a vice president.

As for the company's president, everyone thinks that at the beginning of the company's change, the boss must have served as the boss.

Liu Qingshan began to announce the third personnel appointment: "Mr. John Chambers, the new president of the company, is in charge of company affairs, welcome everyone."

People began to applaud and their eyes were all looking at Mr. John.

"Is it me?" John was a little confused. He is just a sales manager now, so why did he become the president all at once?

Liu Qingshan also smiled and applauded: "That's right, Mr. John, we all believe in your ability."

I guess anyone would believe this John Chambers's later experience.

After Wang An Computer went bankrupt, Mr. John joined a company called "Cisco". At that time, Cisco had an annual profit of only US$70 million and a market value of about 600 million.

After John became the president of Cisco, in five years, Cisco's sales revenue reached more than 12 billion yuan and its market value exceeded 500 billion US dollars.

John was also respected by his colleagues as "Mr. Internet".

Such a big guy certainly has the qualifications to be the CEO of Wang'an Computer.

After a little confused, John was invited to sit next to Liu Qingshan. He quickly recovered from his calmness, and even felt a sense of dying for his confidant.

In fact, after Wang Lie took over the company, some senior executives had begun to resign one after another. John also had this idea, but now, this idea has completely disappeared.

Liu Qingshan looked around again, then smiled and said, "The staff in other positions have not changed for the time being."

It was obvious that many people breathed a sigh of relief.

But there was no time to give them happiness, and Liu Qingshan soon entered the next stage:

"Next, let's discuss the company's development strategy, because I looked at the financial statements for the first half of the year and the company lost 200 million yuan."

"That is, if we continue to follow our previous strategy, we will obviously continue to lose money, so now it is time to change."

Everyone nodded together. After their positions were temporarily stabilized, they all regarded themselves as a member of the company.

This is also why Liu Qingshan puts personnel appointments first.

These executives began to think about it, all thinking about finding practical solutions to leave a good impression on the new boss.

Because they found that the new boss seemed to attach great importance to talents, just like John, who was promoted to CEO directly.

Mr. Miller, the former CEO, had obviously studied the company's situation and had improved plans, so he was the first to speak:

"I think that the company should lay off employees on a large scale at present. I investigated the personnel agencies of various factories and could lay off at least one-third of the workers and managers, which would greatly save money."

Employees who can save money for their boss are of course good employees.

But the boss Liu Qingshan doesn’t think so: layoffs are a sign of incompetence. Large-scale layoffs prove that you are not far from Huangpuzi.

Perhaps inspired by Miller, another department manager immediately spoke:

"There is also the laboratory of our company, which is too large. The company is mainly dragged down by it. I think it should also be reduced on a large scale."

Liu Qingshan did not argue about this. In fact, the laboratory is the lifeblood of a company's sustainable development. Many large companies later devoted 20 to 30% of their profits to research and development.

The crux of Wang An’s computer is not in the laboratory. It’s just that because the business is shrinking now, the laboratory is regarded as a drag.

"Can I express my thoughts?" A voice came from Liu Qingshan.

He is the new president, Mr. John Chambers, who obviously has not yet clarified his position.

Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "John, you have the most say here."

In the conference room, a chuckle sounded, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

Chambers smiled. This guy is very handsome and has a taste of clothes. He is the kind of attractive man.

He said, "I have been doing sales at IBM for a few years, so let's talk about the differences between the two companies."

"Although they all operate computers, I think there are big differences in the routes. We focus more on high-end and large-scale commercial computers."

"The two companies, IBM and Apple, mostly produce personal home computers."

"So I think the direction of our company needs to be adjusted?"

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but lit up: Talent, he grasped the essence of the problem at once.

Later factual developments prove that personal computers are the mainstream, and Wang'an Computer Company was eliminated because it failed to seize the opportunity of this transformation.

Microsoft's Bill later commented: If Wang An's computer could be transformed successfully, then there would be nothing Microsoft has to do, and I wouldn't be a technology star now, or work as a teacher or lawyer somewhere.

However, many executives shook their heads for this idea proposed by John. In their opinion, large commercial computers are more technologically compatible and can demonstrate the company's strength.

When there was a disagreement, Liu Qingshan finally made a decision. He smiled and nodded at John: "I think John's proposal is very good. Personal computers are the major trend in future development."

"Just like the Earth Net we operate, users in the past two years have been on an upward trend, which proves that the number of personal computers is increasing rapidly, so our company must also quickly complete its transformation."

Jiang Renyi also added next to him: "And we can advertise and promote the company's computers and accessories on Earth."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but show their joy: The Earth Net is in the limelight now, if they unite, they will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

By the way, former CEO Wang Lie, what he is thinking about is just getting Earth Net?

As a result, what Wang Lie did not do was easily solved now.

"John, you are responsible for this matter with Jiang, and strive to launch our company's personal computer in the shortest time."

Liu Qingshan began to deploy work: "Finally, I will negotiate with them on IBM to strive for the computer spare parts and specifications."

"Boss, I have a different view." Suddenly someone interrupted Liu Qingshan's words.

The person who spoke was Jack, a veteran employee of the company, who started his business with Wang An.

Liu Qingshan still gave him great respect and nodded to show that he could speak.

Jack stood up excitedly: "Our company, we have been fighting with IBM for more than ten years, and never gave up."
