Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 75 IT Rashomon

"I will personally serve as the producer of the TV series "Shanghai_Ban", but you will be responsible for the specific supervision. At that time, you have to control the financial power, and don't let those professionals really treat us as fools. Lots of winners. If it backfires, it will be a lot of fun, not only will you not gain fame, but it will become a joke." After sending Fang Yihua away, Tang Huan explained to Hu Yinmeng.

"I'm in charge of such a complicated project, and I don't know what to do." Hu Yinmeng said truthfully without being pretentious.

"There are always similarities in making movies with you, so learn slowly." Tang Huan waved his hands disapprovingly.

"Don't hold on, you can work efficiently only after you rest. The company has already arranged a high-end apartment for you, let Lu Xiaohu drive you there."

Hu Yin dreamed that Tang Huan had issued a mandatory order, so he stopped insisting. As soon as his tense nerves relaxed, he yawned involuntarily.

Seeing this scene, Tang Huan drove away with a smile, "Go and rest, sleep is also a kind of beauty. My secretary is the most beautiful woman in Baodao."

"Thank you boss for your mercy." Hu Yinmeng rolled his eyes, turned and left.

After a while, Zhou Mi came over to report, "Boss Huo's meeting time is tomorrow night."

"Okay." Tang Huan nodded slightly, "By the way, the company will set up a service team specifically for the Huo family's industry. In addition to computer technicians, we will also recruit several financial professionals. I will complete this project. Become a model project."

A smile appeared on Zhou Mi's face, "Indeed, if we can serve the needs of Huo's company well, then other companies will naturally increase their trust in our products."

Just as I was talking, the human resources department made a call, reporting that someone was dissatisfied with the recruitment process and results, and pestered to see the boss for an interview.

"This guy is here to make trouble." Zhou Mi frowned, and said to himself, "I'll get rid of it in the past."

"No, you bring someone here for me to see. People who dare not follow the rules may have some special features." Tang Huan showed an interested look on his face.

Soon, a thin young man was brought in by Yang Qinglin.

"Mr. Tang, hello, my name is Feng Xingjun, and this is my resume."

Seeing Tang Huan accepting the resume, Feng Xingjun hurriedly added: "Although the personnel department feels that my resume is a bit shallow, I think I have the ability to work in the computer field. Please consider Mr. Tang's discretion and give me a chance."

Tang Huan nodded noncommittally, and his eyes fell on Feng Xingjun's resume.

Born in Hong Kong in 1950.

From 1969 to 1972, he obtained a bachelor's degree in computer science from Feng Chia University in Taiwan.

Seeing this, Tang Huan raised his eyebrows. Does Xiangjiang recognize this degree?He continued to look down.

From 1972 to 1973, he served as the director of the data entry department of Lane Crawford Department Store in Xiangjiang.

From 1974 to 1977, he obtained a bachelor's degree in business computing from Concordia University in Canada.

From 1977 to 1979, he served as inspector of Xiangjiang Stanley Prison.

From 1979 to the present, he served as the business representative of Xiangjiang Oriental Computer Company.

Looking at the information listed above, Tang Huan's mouth curled up, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Feng Xingjun quickly said, "Mr. Tang, all I do in Stanley Prison are serious jobs."

Tang Huan gently put down his resume, leaned back, stared at Feng Xingjun, and asked indifferently: "Didn't you just join Dongfang Computer Company this year? Why did you think of changing jobs so quickly?"

"The main reason is that I entered Zheru's showroom by accident and visited all the products. I was extremely shocked. I felt that this is what a computer company looks like in my mind - with products developed by myself, so I really want to be Zheru Confucianism works." Feng Xingjun replied calmly.

After Tang Huan heard this reason, the smile on his face obviously increased, not because he was comfortable being flattered by Feng Xingjun, but because he was sure that the young man in front of him was the person in the original time and space.

For the business operation and institutional setup of multinational companies in the Asia-Pacific region, they usually first list the best RBs in the market separately, and then directly establish a Greater China that is directly responsible to the headquarters, including Longguo Mainland, Xiangjiang, Baodao, etc. district.

In the previous life, Feng Xingjun once took the position of general manager of Oracle Longguo Company, and achieved a legendary life of "becoming the general manager of Oracle Longguo from a prison guard".

In addition, Feng Xingjun also has the title of "IT Ranger", because after he served as the business representative of Xiangjiang Oriental Computer Company in 1979, he worked as the business manager of Digital Longguo Company, the programmer of Sintal Computer Company in Canada, and the computer vision Longguo Company. General Manager, Managing Director of Oracle Longguo Company, Managing Director of Sybase Software (Longguo) Co., Ltd. These jobs.

In the IT industry, Feng Xingjun changes companies every few years. Among them, he spent the longest time at Oracle, where he stayed for eight years.

Naturally, Feng Xingjun, who is very good at business, has the most remarkable achievements in Oracle.

In the 89s, Longguo mainland had little awareness of copyright in software. Many small companies in Zhongguancun sold pirated Oracle databases at a price of 2500 yuan a set, and required customers to bring their own floppy disks for on-site copies, and did not even provide a manual.

At that time, the DOS version of Oracle sold for $1700 in the United States. At that time, the official exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB was about 1 to 2.8, plus protective tariffs. The price difference can be imagined.

After seeing this situation, Feng Xingjun made a decision, "Rather than let the pirated version sell Oracle, it's better for me to sell it myself."

Therefore, Feng Xingjun persuaded Oracle's US headquarters to allow him to market in Longguo at a price of US$500, which included training, services and manuals.

In this way, within 3 months, Feng Xingjun sold 5000 sets of Oracle, which wiped out the piracy in Zhongguancun.

"Anyone is willing to buy a genuine copy, as long as he can afford it." Feng Xingjun's crackdown on piracy is so effective precisely because he has seen the actual situation in the local market.

In fact, the quality of the early version of Oracle is not flattering. After Sybase entered the Dragon Kingdom, it was immediately defeated.

When the product performance was at a disadvantage, Feng Xingjun and Sybase fought up the price. When the discount reached 90%, he turned to provide human technical services for users.

Oracle puts a posture, Sybase has no reason not to fight, and accordingly provides more manpower.

After the competition reached this level, Feng Xingjun stepped back and said, "Since Sybase can do better, let Sybase do it, we won't do it."

We will never make it easy for competitors to do business that we cannot do.

Relying on such means, Oracle survived the most difficult period in Dragon Kingdom.

Subsidiaries of multinational corporations located in Longguo often stage palace fights, and the intensity is beyond the imagination of outsiders.

Feng Xingjun did a very good job in business, but he fell short in the struggle for power and was eventually kicked out because he used power for personal gain.

Tang Huan didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of Rashomon. The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. But that's all. What he values ​​is Feng Xingjun's excellent performance in business. As for the rest, it depends on the company. Let's sort out the system.

"I don't know if you have thought about it, how many years will you work in Zheru?" Tang Huan looked at Feng Xingjun with a half-smile.

"As long as I do what I want, I will stay forever." Feng Xingjun's face showed a faint rebellious look.

Tang Huan didn't take it seriously, chatted for a while, then waved his hand, "That's it, you've been hired, just like Xiangjiang Oriental Computer Company, you should be a sales representative first, and I will continue to pay attention to your performance."

After the decision was made, Tang Huan ordered Yang Qinglin who was guarding the door, "Take him to the personnel department to complete the formalities, and tell the staff there that they are doing a good job."

A few people like Feng Xingjun who dare to challenge the rules may bring unexpected creativity and vitality, but the long-term and stable development of the company still needs to rely on the vast majority of employees who follow the rules.

There is nothing wrong with the HR department following the rules, and Feng Xingjun is just an exception.

"Thank you, Mr. Tang, I will definitely work hard." Feng Xingjun happily followed Yang Qinglin and left.

"This Feng Xingjun looks like a thorn." Zhou Mi walked into the office.

"Market development really needs this kind of spirit." Tang Huan smiled, then pointed to the piece of paper in Zhou Mi's hand and asked, "Show me?"

"What a coincidence, the person you asked me to come to the company, here is his information." Zhou Mi replied while placing his resume in front of Tang Huan.

Zhou Weikun, born in 1946, obtained a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Xiangjiang University, which has produced countless local celebrities.

In 1968, after graduation, Zhou Weikun joined IBM Xiangjiang as a programmer trainee in the data center service department and has been working until today.

The resume is extremely simple, perhaps only the two names of Xiangjiang University and IBM can attract attention.

But Tang Huan knew that in the original time and space, Zhou Weikun's achievements were not so simple.

Unlike IT ranger Feng Xingjun, Zhou Weikun has served IBM for more than 22 years since he graduated from university at the age of 40.

He has been promoted many times, and has held various positions in the fields of service, product technology, sales, marketing and human resources, and finally sat on the position of chairman and chief executive officer of IBM Greater China.

It can be said that Zhou Weikun is in stark contrast to Feng Xingjun, and his achievements are manifested in two aspects.

Yu Gong and Zhou Weikun proposed to IBM headquarters in 1991 to establish the IBM Greater China structure, making Greater China identified as one of IBM's important global markets.

Since September 1995, Zhou Weikun has officially served as the chairman and CEO of IBM Greater China, responsible for IBM's business in the mainland of Longguo, Xiangjiang and Baodao.

Since Zhou Weikun took charge of IBM Greater China, he has been one of the core members of IBM's top decision-making team.

IBM has a global management committee, which is composed of 50 senior IBM senior managers, and Zhou Weikun is one of the members.

During Zhou Weikun's tenure at IBM, he experienced Watson Jr., John Aubert, Gerstner, and Palmisano Palmisano, which fully proved his ability and the appreciation of IBM's upper management.

Zhou Weikun, who led IBM into Longguo, achieved the three goals he set, one is to bring IBM in; the other is to make IBM a part of Longguo; the third is to bring some customers and partners to the world.

In private, Zhou Weikun has set a good example of a professional manager who is kind, calm, elegant, gentleman and wise.

To some extent, Zhou Weikun is the image representative of IBM in Greater China. The reason why IBM can grow rapidly in Longguo has a lot to do with his character and image.

Zhou Weikun has a friendly appearance. People in the industry say that he has established friendships with high-level executives in many industries and is good at public relations.

In front of many multinational companies that have failed to enter the Dragon Kingdom, Zhou Weikun, who is "good at public relations", is particularly eye-catching.Perhaps it is precisely because of this that he has been in charge of IBM Greater China for more than ten years.

In the end, because of the IBM commercial bribery case, Zhou Weikun was "retired" and became a scapegoat for unspoken rules.

This is also a Rashomon, and Tang Huan didn't need to pay attention to it. His idea was that Zhou Weikun, who is now 33 years old and has worked in IBM for more than ten years, should be capable enough to stand on his own.

"You attach great importance to this Zhou Weikun?" Zhou Mi asked.

Tang Huan nodded, and replied leisurely: "Your mainland origin is too obvious. To be on the safe side, it's best to stay behind the scenes, and Zhou Weikun, who has been working in IBM for so many years, can be regarded as a senior professional. It is more appropriate for him to stand in front of the stage."

Zhou Mi smiled indifferently, "I'm not interested in power, I can do whatever you ask me to do."

Tang Huan didn't continue the topic, but changed the subject and asked, "What is Zhou Weikun's impression of our company?"

"I feel that there is great hope of successfully poaching people. He has visited the product showroom several times, and he is full of compliments every time. I believe this meeting, as long as you, the big boss, show enough sincerity, you should be able to Got it." Zhou Mi analyzed slowly.

"Then invite this Zhou Weikun in, the position of manager of Xiangjiang Company has been prepared for him." Tang Huan's eyes shone with confidence.
