Chapter 757 The Company Is Growing, the Mentality Needs to Grow
However, after the initial amazement, Wu Tao's mood quickly returned to normal.
In the previous life, I have never seen such a picture a thousand times, but I have seen it eight hundred times.
Molly saw that she was bored, so she plunged into the swimming pool decisively, and only showed a pretty face and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wu Tao said persuasively: "A team from Yuanqi Technology is coming here today. Isn't it appropriate for you to look like this?"
Molly chuckled, and pointed out sharply, "Your subordinates are here on business in a group. Why did they come to your house? Are you overthinking it?"
Also, Wu Tao was suddenly speechless.
Molly proudly said: "Besides, I came to you to swim, firstly to show the intimacy between us, and to show Howard; secondly, your swimming pool is indeed more perfect than mine, so I prefer to swim here."
One move loses, step by step loses.
This is especially true when talking to smart women.
In the end, Wu Tao could only touch his nose and admit defeat, pretending that he had never said anything. Otherwise, wouldn't that be self-indulgent?
Seeing Wu Tao's deflated look, Molly's pretty face was full of complacency, she took a step closer, deliberately teased him with her shoulders and said, "Is my explanation a little disappointing?"
"..."
The meeting place for Yang Ge, Leng Ning and his party at noon was set in downtown Los Angeles.
And this time the team stayed at the Hilton Hotel. After all, they just met the Hilton sisters, so there is no need for this kind of relationship.
This time the team consisted of about ten people.
Chinese food is the most suitable for so many people to meet the trend. But for the company's subordinates, after finally coming to a foreign country, they still eat Chinese food, which is a bit inappropriate.
So in the end, in the Michelin three-star restaurant, everyone eagerly waited for the western food to be served step by step.
Of course, in this atmosphere, Wu Tao couldn't talk about work anymore.
It wasn't until the way back to the hotel after dinner that Leng Ning found the opportunity to report to him, "Samsung has released news that a new generation of color-screen mobile phones will be released by the end of October."
Follow the trend is quite fast!
Leng Ning explained: "Because Samsung has cooperated with us, it is familiar with the whole set of color screen mobile phone solutions. The plan to launch products is also faster than other manufacturers, which is not good for our Lotus products."
Speaking of this, not only Leng Ning, but even Yang Ge expressed some concern.
On the contrary, Wu Tao took it easy and comforted the two of them: "Lotus color screen products are popular, and it will be a matter of time before they follow suit. There is nothing to worry about. The important thing is that we must make our own products well, and this is a serious matter."
"... But having said that, Yuanqi Technology is now a big company that is developing in the direction of internationalization. The company is constantly growing and growing, and your mentality as executives must also grow and grow accordingly."
"... For every move of our competitors, we have to show enough attention, but we will never be as restless as "wolf is coming", and it is inappropriate."
Leng Ning fell silent.
On the contrary, Yang Ge, who had work experience, quickly understood and said, "Boss, I understand."
The news of Yuanqi Technology's team coming over quickly reached Howard's ears.
It seems that Huaxia Wu is really serious this time, and he is so fanfare and mobilizing the crowd.
There is probably something tricky here!
Immediately, Howard made a phone call to Anderson, the founder of Netscape, and asked about Huaxia Wu's information on the sidelines.
As a result, Anderson said bluntly: "That's right, Mr. Buffett, recently there was a Chinese buyer who sent me messages through Molly and Yahoo Yang respectively, and showed great interest in our Netscape company." .”
as expected!
After hanging up the phone, Howard's eyes lit up.
Netscape was a rival that once competed with Microsoft on the same stage, and its strength is beyond doubt. If you take over by yourself, maybe you can't create another Microsoft!
In 1998, Microsoft Corporation, with the launch of win98 and IE1.0, has already shown its signs in the Internet market.
The industry is generally optimistic about Microsoft's future development, and the resulting Microsoft stock is also rising steadily.
For Howard, since he was born, he has lived in the halo of his grandparents and parents.
Having experienced this kind of thing a lot, it is inevitable that he will feel some stressful resentment in his heart. He really wants to get rid of the halo of his elders and show his unique talent to the outside world.
One day, when outsiders talk about the Buffett family, they will not only mention Warren Buffett, but also Howard Warren Buffett.
Thinking of this, Howard called his assistant in with a phone call: "From today, start buying AOL stock in a big way!"
"My boss, AOL stock has been on the rise for the past two days. Perhaps the benefits of acquiring Netscape have been cashed out in advance. Are we..."
Before the assistant finished speaking, Howard interrupted decisively: "That's right! Follow up immediately!"
"……yes!"
Hilton Hotel.
In the suite where he stayed, Wu Tao sat at the desk and explained the recent work to his subordinates, Leng Ning and Yang Ge.
"Director Leng, you are in Los Angeles this time, focusing on following up on Palm's cooperation negotiation project. Note that our goal is the dual authorization of the use right and development right of PalmOS. If the cooperation negotiation fails to achieve the goal, we can even consider the cooperation from 3Com. Buy PalmOS in your hands!"
"...As for Blackberry, we should also focus on understanding the characteristics of Blackberry OS during the investigation, so that we can learn from it and make use of it in the future. It's just that Blackberry doesn't give us many opportunities, but as long as we use it well, it can be used as an operating system with Palm. A bargaining chip for cooperation negotiations."
Leng Ning recorded it in his notebook while listening.
He just had a vague feeling that this matter was not easy, so he glanced at Yang Ge and said, "Boss, is Mr. Yang also involved in this matter this time?"
Wu Tao nodded, "Brother Yang will cooperate with you in this matter, but this is not the focus of his work this time."
As he said that, he took out a draft plan from his briefcase and handed it to Yang Ge, "This time you will focus on following up on this project, and strive to make the product as soon as possible."
Then he took out two patent documents from his briefcase and said, "This is a new patent for this product, please submit the application as soon as possible."
Yang Ge took it over and took a look: MP3 music player, then flipped through it, hesitated after a while and said: "Boss, cassette players and CD players are popular now, will this MP3 music player lack market advantages?"
"The advantage of the MP3 music player is as obvious as the disadvantage. The advantage is that users don't need to spend extra money for cassettes and CD discs. The disadvantage is that the sound quality is slightly inferior to the CD player."
Wu Tao talked eloquently, "However, only audiophiles will be particularly concerned about the issue of sound quality. Therefore, it is very likely that MP3 music players will replace cassettes and CD players."
"...not only that, but one day MP3 players could even be integrated into our Lotus phones..."
