When Gao Xian came back, she was obviously not in a high mood. Patricia Hurst naturally asked.
Gao Xian gave a brief account of his visit to IBM headquarters, and finally snorted, "It seems that companies, like individuals, still determine their fate by their personality, but it doesn't matter. If they go their separate ways, they go their separate ways. At least now, my personal computer standard has quickly become a de facto industry standard through the influence of IBM. Its vitality can't be cut off by a self righteous fool like John Opel."
Miss Hurst did not understand the deep meaning of Gao Xian's words. Her attention was all focused on gossip. "There was a sudden infighting in the red IBM personal computer department. This is the most powerful news."
"Look at your bright eyes. Can this be called infighting? It's just a normal struggle for the governance of the company." Gao Xian warned with a smile, "I'm one of the parties. Don't let the reporters of Hearst group write indiscriminately and just focus on attracting attention."
"Anyway, Hearst group doesn't report, and other media will rush to report. It's better to take care of their own people." Patricia repeatedly promised, "don't worry, the report will try to avoid you."
……
In fact, the American media, not only in the IT field, such as computer world, which focuses on the dynamics of the industry, or byte, which focuses on technology, but also traditional newspapers such as Huaer street daily, waist twisting times and Peanut Stew post, have noticed the adjustment of the head of IBM's personal computer department.
Of course, for this part of the fact statement, the reports of various media are basically the same, that is, Charles downy, the former head of IBM's personal computer department, was promoted to the president of the input system branch, and William LoVo, vice president of the information system department and general manager of Rochester factory, Minnesota, was transferred from IBM headquarters to take full charge of the business of IBM's personal computer department.
When it comes to the analysis and discussion part, the media will show their strengths and strengths.
For example, Huaer street daily mentioned that compared with IBM's rigorous management tradition of developing and manufacturing system360 system, the style of IBM's personal computer department has always been somewhat different. Even because of this difference, employees in other IBM departments feel unbalanced.
Through this major personnel adjustment, IBM obviously wants IBM's personal computer department to fully integrate into IBM's corporate culture, and improve important assessment indicators such as profits to match the special treatment enjoyed by IBM's personal computer department. As for the effect, it can only be said to be observed.
Compared with this serious analysis, almost all the more professional small media in the IT field have made individual judgments. If IBM wants to copy the set of methods of operating mainframe computers to the personal computer market, it will cause harm that can not be ignored to the personal computer industry which is still in the rapid growth period.
……
In the research report submitted to the IBM board of directors, Gao Xian also expounded a similar view, that is, even if the head of IBM's personal computer department changes, don't copy the cumbersome bureaucratic management system of IBM headquarters, otherwise you will only mess with yourself.
Gao Xian further stressed that we should not rush to monopolize the personal computer market and cut leeks, because the personal computer industry has just begun, and the users of personal computer products far exceed the scope of large enterprises and government users of large computers. Therefore, the profit model is not limited to making articles around hardware products, so that practitioners have room to play freely and wait for a set of profits After the profit model is formed, IBM can use capital means to acquire leading companies by virtue of its volume advantages.
Objectively speaking, Gao Xian's explanation in this research report has been very attentive, but he still has a great degree of reservation, not really speaking freely, because he has seen that the situation that IBM's personal computer department is fully taken over by IBM headquarters is a foregone conclusion, and even a new IBM personal computer standard will be introduced in the future. Why should he take his heart and lungs and keep dry goods from himself Use it yourself, isn't it?
The biggest significance of this research report is that when IBM recites words, it has nothing to do with Sir Gao, who is far sighted and wise.
……
As Gao Xian expected, after the research report was sent to IBM headquarters, I don't know whether it was because IBM's bureaucracy was too serious and didn't read it, or whether the relevant people were still indifferent after reading it. Anyway, it was like a bull in the mud into the sea and didn't respond at all.
Sir Gao, who thought he would do his best, didn't bother to pay attention. With the last sentence "he should withdraw from the IBM board of directors and sell all his IBM shares", he dismissed the senior reporter of Hearst group who was pestering him for news, and then went to visit Charles downy again.
Now, Charles downy has returned to his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas to recuperate. When Gao Xian saw him, he was reading the newspaper with interest.
"We broke up with IBM, which was reported by the media, but it was a consolation." Charles Tandy's laughter didn't have much reluctance and depression, "You see, the White House has announced that the federal government has given up its antitrust investigation into IBM's monopoly of the mainframe market, but the response of the capital market is not as enthusiastic as expected. It should be affected by the turmoil in IBM's personal computer department."
Gao Xian said faintly, "the relationship between us is not as big as before."
Charles downy asked curiously, "Sir Gao, do you really intend to withdraw from the IBM board of directors and sell all the IBM shares worth hundreds of millions of dollars, as disclosed by the media?"
"Now that I have lost the most direct control over the personal computer standard we have created, it's no fun for me to stay on the IBM board." Gao Xian smiled. "As for selling all the IBM shares held, step by step, don't worry."
Of course, sir Gao is not in a hurry to cash out, not to mention that IBM can enjoy a few years along with inertia. He doesn't want to pay huge taxes to the American government because of centralized cash out. He can slowly avoid taxes reasonably through some common practices in the industry.
Charles Dundee nodded comprehensively. "Sir Gao will naturally have a better disposal strategy. Please help me deal with those IBM shares I hold."
Gao Xian promised with a smile, "of course I will do my best for this kind of thing. You can recuperate well. Don't bother."
Charles Dundee asked, "is Sir Gao going to quit the personal computer industry that has invested a lot of effort?"
"Of course not. Just our personal computer standard, we have to defend it secretly." Gao Xian's eyes are full of fun.
Charles Downey was heartened. "I knew Sir Gao had always considered everything."
The two were chatting easily. The assistant came to report that Frank Cary, the former IBM CEO who helped IBM acquire Huanyu computer business, wanted to Meet Sir Gao.
"Did he say what he wanted to talk about?" Gao Xian asked casually.
The assistant replied cautiously, "what Frank Cary said should be how to ensure that everyone should remain decent even if they break up."
Charles downy joked aside, "it's OK to break up peacefully, but IBM has to pay the breakup fee."
Gao Xian was amused at once. "It's hard to take a break-up fee even if you have a soft mouth and a short hand with IBM's sophistication and shrewdness."
Charles Downey solemnly reminded: "it is precisely because IBM is old and smart enough that heavyweight shareholders such as Sir Gao want to quit. IBM will certainly find ways to formulate some restrictions similar to the non competition agreement to restrict Sir Gao's activities, so as to avoid the emergence of a second IBM personal computer."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
