Rebirth

Chapter 275

What kind of people are you? Li Feng feels that they are all future Internet elites.

For example, for this European president candidate, Li Feng is completely speechless when he sees this European president candidate resume. He is definitely a great person. The former Apple CEO John Sculley is now mainly engaged in venture capital work.

Before the Apple CEO, he was the President of Pepsi. His market ability is well-known. In order to bring John Scully to Apple, the young Joe’s boss in the 1980s said a famous saying, that is, "You want to sell sugar water for a lifetime." , Or follow us to adapt the world'.

This provocative language has since been talked about by Silicon Valley, and it has become one of the early wise moves of the Qiao gang.

In the first few years of joining Apple, he co-created the best product (the first Mac) and the best marketing advertisement at the time with the Joe gang, but soon the honeymoon period ended and Jobs finally resigned.

Of course, in the later mythology of Gang Leader Qiao, Gang Leader Qiao was all right anyway, and the rest were wrong.

In Li Feng's view, Jobs was young and vigorous at the time. He was dismissed by Apple's board of directors. He decided to resign and leave in annoyance. In fact, John Sculley cannot be blamed at all. Those shareholders don't believe Jobs anymore.

...

When he was fired in 1993, although Apple started to go downhill, it was still okay. It was said that Apple had $2 billion in cash in its accounts.

Generally speaking, during his tenure as CEO, he mainly left Steve Jobs, a great product operation manager. Apple did not launch a good product. This was the cause of Apple's decline.

Of course, this is also the reason for his later illness. After all, you are the CEO of the company and it is naturally your responsibility to not launch a popular product.But you have to know that he was a PepsiCo's sugar water CEO before. He didn't understand computers and needed the help of top product managers. Without Jobs, he would make mistakes.

In Li Feng's view, John Scully's marketing capabilities are definitely very powerful, otherwise, PepsiCo will not be able to grab market share from Coca-Cola.

Unfortunately, when he first arrived in Silicon Valley, he did not think of the environmental factors in Silicon Valley. Because of the discord with the Qiao gang leader, he eventually led the Qiao gang leader to leave Apple. Then naturally, as the Qiao gang leader re-emerged later, he became the biggest scapegoat. Up.

Even later, as the leader of Qiao’s gang became famous, he was ranked among the worst CEOs of the high-end business magazine "Portfolio".

In fact, since leaving Apple, John Sculley established a venture capital company in Silicon Valley, and later invested in a large number of Internet companies, which is regarded as a model of successful investors. If it is really bad, it will not be so successful later.

Obviously, this was a manager who was later underestimated. The main reason was that Jobs was too famous, and when Jobs ran away or when he was the CEO, the rumor that eventually led to John Scully forced Jobs away.

...

At the same time, Li Feng is very relieved to be the president of Europe. After all, there must be two brushes to be the CEO of Pepsi and the CEO of Apple. Besides, his company now lacks such a marketing expert.

However, seeing his situation, the venture capital company he established last year, it seems that the Internet has become hot now. I don't know if he is still interested in working for Feixun.

Thinking of this, he immediately discussed with Eric Schmidt.

"BOSS, don't worry, I have already talked to him, and John Scully also agreed to work for the company.

In fact, when he was fired from Apple, he sighed in his heart, otherwise he would not stay in Silicon Valley forever.

In my opinion, staying in Silicon Valley is actually understanding everything about Silicon Valley. I also hope that there will be such a platform for him to show and let people know that it was not his ability that was fired at Apple.

Obviously, the performance of our company in just one month has already attracted people's attention. As the founder of a venture capital company, he naturally knows our situation.

With the successful listing of Netscape last year and Yahoo this year, as a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley, if you are not paying attention to the Internet, you are really blind.

Now the Internet is the next new nugget point, and now our ISY platform is the best platform today."

...

"Eric, since you have already inspected it, let's make a decision like this, let him be the president of Europe, then I will look at the next situation of candidates for the Asia-Pacific region."

When reviewing the candidates for the president of the Asia-Pacific region again, Li Feng considered ethnic issues at the time and told Eric that it is best to choose Chinese and Chinese who work in the United States or even in Silicon Valley.

Unexpectedly, I saw that later generations of Li Feng often heard famous people, and by coincidence, it was Apple's, and it was Li Kaifu, the current vice president of Apple's interactive multimedia department.

For Li Kaifu, later generations of Li Feng, of course, have heard of it. The most famous is the later president of Microsoft Greater China and the president of Google Greater China. He is definitely one of the big players in the IT industry of China.

Considering the personnel issues needed in the Asian region this time, in addition to Kai-Fu Lee, there are two deputies who say they can help Kai-Fu Lee to set up the Asian headquarters together.

Both of them are Li Kaifu's alumni students, Shen Xiangyang and Lu Qi, who have just graduated this year from the Department of Computer Science of Carnegie Mellon University.

Now Eric has been in contact with them, especially in the Asia-Pacific region planning situation Li Feng said, the three are very excited.

Well, I have to say that Li Feng is lucky again, and I can only blame Li Feng for being ignorant in his previous life. These two people are not small figures in the Internet world in the previous life, but are both famous and big figures.

...

Shen Xiangyang later took over the position of Kai-Fu Lee and became Microsoft's global vice president and president of Greater China. Later, he was elected an academician of the American Academy of Engineering. He is an absolute technology man and has accumulated many patents during his university.

Shen Xiangyang mainly focuses on computer vision, graphics, human-computer interaction, statistical learning, pattern recognition and robotics.

Similarly, Lu Qi is also a technical genius. At the time, he was the No. 1 student in the college entrance examination in a certain province of China. He published a series of high-quality papers and patents during his school period. Later, he even owned more than 40 patents.

Later, he became the global vice president of Microsoft, and eventually returned to China to become the CEO of Du Niang.

Both of them are the kind of people who want technology and technology, management potential and management potential, and they can soar as long as they have the opportunity.

However, Li Feng doesn’t know this. Seeing the resumes of the two, Li Feng also knows that they are both true technical geniuses. Coupled with the fact that Li Kaifu is such a great man in the past, Li Feng decided immediately, the best is three. It's all done.

It was decided to appoint Kai-Fu Lee as president of the Asia-Pacific region, and two vice presidents, Lu Qi and Shen Xiangyang, to assist Kai-Fu Lee in establishing the Asia-Pacific headquarters as soon as possible.

...

Now that the decision has been made, Li Feng directly discussed with Eric Schmidt to sign a contract with several people as soon as possible, so that they can take up their posts as soon as possible, hoping to get the YY language versions listed in the fastest time.

Seeing Eric Schmidt walking out of the office with a smile, Li Feng was also very happy. Now that leaders in all regions have been found, he can feel relieved.
