Chapter 244

People often say that "character determines destiny." Wang An was so proud and arrogant, which seemed to be doomed to the decline of Wang An Computer Company.

Once, Intel CEO Andy Grove personally visited Wang An to promote his memory. Grove put the memory sample on Wang An's desk, and then asked: "You are the inventor of magnetic core memory. What are your opinions on the application of this kind of memory?" Wang An just glanced at him gently and said, He lowered his head and opened the letter in his hand, and then replied: "If you had asked me this question earlier, then you would not be able to make such junk parts." This made Grove feel humiliated, and during the meeting, Wang An repeatedly The phone calls repeatedly interrupted their talks.

Grove couldn't help but write in the trip report he filled out after the meeting: "What I'm afraid of is that I will be drowned by his deep yawn..."

Wang An is so proud and arrogant that even the CEO of Intel dares to humiliate him like this. Andy Grove represents not just himself, but the entire Intel company. If Li Zetian allows Intel to cooperate with Wang An Computer Company, it will definitely chill the hearts of Andy Grove and Intel employees.

What's more, the IBM-PC personal computer standard has long been established. Why does Wang An Computer Company compete with it? Do you really think that Wang An Computer Company can become the second Apple? If Apple in this generation didn't have Li Zetian's bug-like creativity and design, it would still be crushed by IBM's compatible machines.

Obviously, Wang An was too proud and arrogant. He thought he was better than Li Zetian and could lead Wang An Computer Company to dominate personal computers.

Just imagine, if it is not compatible with IBM-PC, who among the third-party software and hardware manufacturers would be willing to do additional development for Wangan Computer? No matter how good Wang An’s computer is, it will still fail.

Li Zetian had already warned Wang An, but he still wanted to commit suicide, so no one else could blame him.

By the way, after Wang An returned to the company, he got furious in the office.

He saved a lot of face and visited Li Zetian in person, but he didn't expect that Li Zetian didn't give him any face and rejected him flatly.

"This Chronos Li is so frivolous. He doesn't even give me, Wang An, any face!!!"

Wang An slapped the table hard.

At the moment, Wang An Computer Company has not yet reached its peak. Although the personal computer market has greatly impacted the word processor market, it is still selling well. Moreover, the minicomputer developed by Wang An Computer Company was very popular and made the company a lot of money. Therefore, Wang An Computer Company is still a very powerful company, which is why Wang An is proud and conceited.

"Dad, since Chronos Li is not willing to cooperate with us, we can only find other companies. Motorola also produces processors, and the performance of the processors is excellent, no worse than Intel's! With their strength, they can definitely Design a powerful processor for Wang An Computer Company!!!" Wang Lie said.

Motorola is in the ascendant, laptop computers are popular all over the world, the brand "Motorola" has greatly increased its popularity, and at the same time it has promoted the sales of other Motorola products. It is normal for Wang Lie to think of Motorola processors immediately.

Wang An nodded and said: "Well, you are right, then I will let you do the cooperation with Motorola."

"Okay!" Wang Lie said excitedly, then left and immediately prepared to go to Motorola.

At present, Wang An's health is getting worse and worse, and he now intends to train Wang Lie and prepare him to take over. Therefore, many things were assigned to him in order to cultivate Wang Lie's prestige in the company.

Wang An hopes that "a tiger father will have no dog sons", but in fact, Wang Lie's abilities are limited and his performance is mediocre. Many people in the company are dissatisfied with him. Wang An had not abdicated yet, so no one said anything. But if Wang Lie is really allowed to take over the company from Wang An, there will definitely be a lot of opposition.

Wang An himself is a rare genius in the world who combines technical and management talents. Under his command, he has gathered a group of people with different personalities and outstanding talents but who are extremely difficult to manage. This group of people have little or no exposure to Eastern culture. People should obey Wang An, but don't expect them to take orders from the mediocre Wang Lie, even though he is Wang An's son. The biggest asset of Wang An Computer Company is these people, their talents. For example, John Chambers of Cisco in his previous life was just an ordinary regional manager of Wang An Computer Company.

Traditional family management is actually not feasible abroad. If there are outstanding talents in the family, this is naturally good. But not? Then, hiring excellent professional managers to manage your company is undoubtedly the most correct choice!

In this life, Wang An's computer company may have suffered more blows, which made Wang An even more physically and mentally exhausted, and he suddenly fell ill within a few days.

After Wang Lie negotiated cooperation with Motorola, he hurriedly returned home.

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

"Don't worry, you won't die yet. Just rest for a while and you'll be fine." Wang An's face was pale and his voice was weak. In fact, Wang An already knew that his health was failing and it was time to retire.

"Tomorrow," Wang An took a breath and said, "The board of directors will be held tomorrow, and I plan to make you the president of the company! I am ill and will recuperate at home from now on. Wang Lie, Wang An Computer Company will be handed over to you from now on!"

Wang Lie looked excited, held his hand and said, "Dad, don't worry, I won't let you down!"

The next day, Wang An recovered a lot and came to the company with Wang Lie.

In the conference room, the company directors and some senior executives were already present.

The king sat at the head of the throne, and the king sat at his right hand.

"Hello everyone, I have called everyone here for this meeting today. Actually, I have something very important to announce!" Wang An said slowly, "I am old and suffering from illness, so I plan to retire. .As for the candidate of the company’s new president, I recommend my son Wang Lie to take office!!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room immediately turned into a vegetable market, and it was extremely noisy. Everyone opposed Wang Lie's appointment as the president of the company!

"Dr. Wang An, we can understand that you are in poor health and want to retire, but as the successor of the new company, I don't think Wang Lie is the best candidate!"

"Yes, Wang Lie's ability is far from enough to hold the position of president!"

"Dr. Wang An, I suggest hiring excellent professional managers!"

"..."

Wang Lie looked at everyone with his eyes, secretly keeping those who opposed him in mind.

Wang An said at this time: "I am the founder of the company, and I have full control over the company. This matter is settled like this, without too much discussion. I believe that my children must have the ability to run the company!" !!”

When Wang An said this, everyone was speechless and fell silent.

The company belongs to the Wang An family, but they insist on doing it, "do not avoid relatives when promoting talents", and make their own son the president of the company. What can others do.

Wang An convened this meeting not to discuss with everyone, but to issue a notice.

Even if everyone is dissatisfied, they can only accept it.

On the day the meeting ended, Wang Lie's appointment notice was issued and he officially became the president of Wang An Computer Company.

As soon as this news came out, the entire company couldn't help but be shaken up, and it also caused great surprise in the industry and the media.
