Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 303 [Said No Series]

Luo Sheng was always calm, no one could find out what he was really thinking.

This negotiation lasted for about half an hour or so before it was over. The end result was that Bob Swan pretended to be strong and put down a few threatening words, and then seemed to overturn the table and leave.

In fact, in Luo Sheng's eyes, there is no difference from running away. If there is a difference, Luo Sheng has not exposed the other party's fragile cover.

"Mr. Luo, will IBM really break with us?"

After learning the results of the negotiation, Zhang Bowen came to Luo Sheng's office and talked about the matter. He happened to be dealing with something.

"Why do you care about whether IBM is arguing with us? If you care about this, it is equivalent to IBM having a bargaining chip, you must be threatened, and the result is more compromises." Luo Sheng looked at Zhang Bowen and said .

But for a moment, Luo Sheng added: “So I don’t care, whether to be a friend or an enemy, let’s not make this decision, let IBM make this decision. We only need to figure out the most fundamental bottom line. As a friend of IBM, we will not hurt our muscles and bones. At most, we will work harder and spend more time fighting to overcome the technical pain points. Can our team suffer? Can the technical pain points be solved? My answer is, yes! Isn't it over?"

Zhang Bowen: "Understood..."

In this situation, Lao Zhang, as the second person of the Bluestar Technology Group, is actually a bit imaginary when the group of people under his hand saw him, but now he also feels what authority and aura are when facing Luo Sheng. momentum.

It's not because Luo Sheng is his immediate boss, but the aura he showed is too strong. The average person is really a bit unstoppable. It's no wonder that I saw Bob Swan taking hurried small steps when he left. In a panic.

Moreover, Lao Zhang, who has worked with him for many years, found that Luo Sheng can move freely. This is the most terrifying and the most unpredictable place. When facing him, it is impossible to inquire any truth from him. His fear is also deliberately made by him.

In fact, Luo Sheng also knows that he is in the company, whether it is on the Bluestar Technology side or on the Blue Coast.

In these two companies, his totalitarian status and increasing authority are constantly breaking through the upper limit. Now there will be almost no subordinates who oppose any decision made by him. This will cause the subordinates to completely lose their judgment and stop thinking, or Have judgment but dare not object.

Naturally, it led to the loss of teamwork. There was a huge elite team. As a result, Luo Sheng was thinking by himself. Once his decision was wrong and no one came out to correct it, the next one would collapse and the loss would be immeasurable.

Luo Sheng is actually conscious of these potential problems, so he always looks aloof and reticent every time he meets with the senior management, but he is not an aloof, but to avoid the loss of teamwork. If you can, try not to say it, because once he said it, no one objected.

This is the so-called "key person risk" of a company. Once the "key person" does not play a role, a company or a team will interrupt the rising period or even weaken. In fact, the "key person risk" index of the two companies is about to explode. .

Even Zhang Bowen and Yao Jianhong, who are second only to Luo Sheng, "understood" when they met him, and then they didn't.

The company has to guard against "key person risks", and he is also responding to this potential crisis step by step.

After entering the new year, Luo Sheng basically did not care much about the company's daily operations and management. His CEO position became more and more like a name, and Yao Jianhong and Zhang Bowen, who were in charge of the two companies, became more and more CEOs. Really.

Luo Sheng is now gradually becoming the shopkeeper, just to pave the way for the retirement of the CEO position.

It’s enough to be a chairman. It’s easy to reduce the “key person risk” and have more energy to climb technology.

The most important thing is relaxation. The company's plates are getting bigger and bigger, Luo Sheng also feels tired enough, and after opening the door to Qin Weimu's new world, the beauty lawyer is like a wolf...

Besides...

However, the resignation of CEO is not anxious. Bluestar Technology and the Blue Coast are different from other companies. Luo Sheng’s resignation as CEO is a major restructuring of the senior management and will have a huge impact. It is also reflected in his age.

Until now, Luo Sheng has resigned when he is less than 25 years old?

If such news spreads, not to mention that there will be a bunch of "historical inventors" fabricating various suspicions in the external media, and even the company will cause turmoil.

In addition, Luo Sheng also needs a further upgrade of the artificial intelligence Xiaona.

At that time, even if he resigns as CEO, even if he resigns as chairman, it will not have any impact on his control of the company.

He can put the power down, and he can easily take it back. This is the fundamental reason why Luo Sheng has the confidence to delegate.

...

By the way, Bob Swan, who represents IBM, came in angrily and left in embarrassment.

After I went back, I reported the facts here to the headquarters. As a result, on the third day, IBM sent someone to talk about it. This time it was Samuel, the current head of IBM.

However, he did not see Luo Sheng. Zhang Bowen received and negotiated with him. As Luo Sheng is currently busy climbing technology, it is one thing to have no time, even if he has time, he will not be seen.

Of course Samuel was upset about Luo Sheng's negligence, but what can be done if he is upset?

In the end, it wasn't about sitting down and talking to Zhang Bowen honestly. The contradiction between the two parties was the "third party" behavior.

Bluestar Technology has made it clear that all friends from the left, center and right have to make friends, and IBM has no right to interfere with Bluestar's decision.

Samuel also stated directly that Bluestar Technology could only choose one of the two between Huawei and IBM.

Undoubtedly, Lao Zhang also gave the choice directly to the opponent.

Bluestar Technology does not choose whether to make friends or become enemies. IBM will choose. If Bluestar Technology has to make a choice, it is all about it.

This is a direct chat, you want all Bluestar Technology. What is the difference from now?

In the next week, after three rounds of negotiations between IBM and Bluestar's high-level executives, they still did not reach a consensus. Samuel had no way of facing the tough bluestar technology.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and return home with a big deal of hurting each other.

And his business trip to China was finally caught by the media when he was in the terminal building, and he also accepted a temporary interview. He bluntly said that the cooperation between IBM and Bluestar Technology was unhappy, but was asked by reporters whether it would affect Samuel refused to respond to future cooperation between the two parties.

However, this burst of news is also explosive enough for the industry.

For a while, some more attractive headlines began to appear in recent news.

"Bluestar technology and the blue giant IBM are breaking up", "Bluestar technology's cloud computing layout may be suspended", "core technology is controlled by others, Bluestar technology is stuck" and so on.

On the Internet, some well-known, big V or something, also took the opportunity to seize this opportunity to start black, cynicism, yin and yang.

This kind of person is either stupid enough to be mentally impaired or bad to the bone.

The war is inevitable, and the "tap water" of Bluestar Technology is not covered. Over the years, a large number of fan groups have been formed, and they have also come out to denounce the big fans and the public.

But with these uproarious controversies on the Internet, there is no significant person in the Bluestar Technology Group to speak out.

As time went on, by mid-February, the tearing war was still going on, but at this time the news of IBM suddenly came from the North American side, which made both sides of the tearing be a little confused.

IBM announced yesterday that it signed the second phase of contract orders worth US$4.72 billion with Bluestar Technology Group, and is expanding production capacity to prepare for a larger third phase of contract orders worth approximately US$12.6 billion in the future.

Samuel also personally appeared at the press conference to respond to some recent rumors, which is regarded as a refutation.

He said no, but his body made a sincere stroke.

Facts have proved that IBM is just pretending to be a strong bluff to scare people. If you can't scare... Then just do it, otherwise, what to do, earning money cannot be delayed.

As everyone knows, when IBM's competitors saw these order amounts, their eyes were red.

Being jealous is one thing. The key is to be angry. I always feel that IBM is a competitor in the industry.

Because the news a few days ago was as if IBM was really going to quit, its competitors have already started gearing up and are preparing to fly to the other side of the ocean to sell solutions.

As a result, the "Giant Blue" backhanded the contract out. This kind of hopeful and smashing action was simply an act of condemnation.

It's as if IBM hinted at the competitors: Look, even if such a list is still mine, I'll ask you if you are angry?So don't think too much, wash and sleep, you have everything in your dreams.

And after the news came back to China, the big V and the public who were originally yin and yang, cynical, scornful, and gloating collectively lost their voices.

Bluestar Technology has not reacted at all in the past few days, as if it had never happened before, but the fans and netizens of Bluestar Technology and Luo Sheng won't just let it go.
