I just want to be self-reliant

What Lao Lei couldn't figure out was why Zhao Dezhu was so determined to give resources directly to this COO.

Needless to say, these traditional IT people admire Job Bush.

Apple, it is like a legendary temple-level status. If Master Qiao abdicates, the struggle for the CEO position will be fierce.

Even if last year's IPHONE did not achieve the expected sensational innovation effect, Apple computers, Apple notebooks and music players still dominate the global high-end industry.

Why are you so sure about this humble COO and start spending money?

After all, these days IBM and Compaq are big companies that are going hand in hand. As long as they change their CEOs, it will be a traumatic thing.

And the more great it is, the more cautious it is to change the head.

It is still the same as the top football giants. The more famous the club, the greater the pressure on the head coach, and the higher the requirements of the fans and the board of directors.

Not only to win, but also to win beautifully. If you are not careful, changing coaches is like changing a knife.

Therefore, it is often small companies or start-up companies that can have stable CEOs, and large companies are always changing their lights.

Is it worth the investment?

Zhao Dezhu's explanation is: "There is light, he is the same as you, you have light in your eyes."

Lao Lei was speechless, but felt that there was some truth to it.

Because the final result of the negotiation was to set up a research and development center in Jiaopen and Ah San respectively.

Focus basin focuses on appearance and hardware design, while Asan focuses on software and system ecology.

And the emphasis is on the latter.

This is not only because of Joe Bush's deep emotional relationship with Asanism, but also because many of Apple's software architecture and system ecology departments are designers of Asan, and the top hardware engineers are also of Asan origin. .

Kok believes that the use of cheap software and human resources in the three countries can greatly control and reduce costs.

Zhao Dezhu nodded in agreement with this more confusing adjustment.

So Kok put these two R\u0026D centers under the responsibility of Zhao Dezhu with a sense of relief. He was not willing to take on these two parts at all, and was fully responsible for the overall situation of production, listing, and marketing.

This is Zhao Dezhu appointed by Joe Bush to take on heavy responsibilities. The second-generation Apple mobile phone to be launched in 2008 must be released on time, and the IPAD tablet computer that Job Bush has already mentioned within Apple must also be put on the agenda.

At the same time as the agreement was reached, Koch gave a very clear precise time, and Zhao Dezhu had to hand over the samples before that time.

It is clear that the software and hardware development center is hosted under the name of Kok, but in fact, the plans, codes, and programs submitted by these two parts at any time must be sent to the Rongdu R\u0026D center in the name of showing to Lao Qiao.

The R\u0026D center established in Jiangzhou to focus on IPAD will share this part of the work content, and actually submit it to Zhao Dezhu for experience, adjustment and decision-making.

In Zhao Dezhu's office, Lao Lei and Zhao Dezhu saw the characteristics of Cork's work together.

To describe it in four words, I will never give up.

He didn't have the genius attitude of Old Qiao who looked down on the world with arrogance, always violently criticizing the stupidity and incompetence of his subordinates, and he didn't have the face of Zhao Dezhu, a local tyrant and nouveau riche who had a playful smile but hid his knife in his smile and would get out if he was not satisfied.

But Bowen, who barely raised his voice, chased after him.

From asking how many engineers there are in the IPAD R\u0026D center in Jiangzhou, and where the current work progress is, they gradually became more serious and detailed.

He began to forget that Zhao Dezhu was the chosen successor of Master Qiao, and asked questions one after another about every aspect.

Lao Lei happened to take over this part of the work. He has been the boss of Yinshan Software for 16 years, and he has been the CEO for so many years, so his ability goes without saying.

But he was asked by Cork like a storm, so that his forehead was sweating!

As long as it is the data mentioned by Lao Lei, Kirk will be extremely sensitive. He seems to be able to quickly understand the content of these data on the report, and can easily pick out the abnormal data that is not right, and inquire about it.

The IPAD is launched as a tablet computer, where is the R\u0026D progress, what is the production expectation, the prototype cost accounting, and how to cooperate with the sales strategy.

Zhao Dezhu, who doesn't understand English, watched with gusto.

He also hurriedly passed a tissue to Lao Lei.

Lao Lei was sweating profusely to Zhao Dezhu while taking advantage of Cork's international calls to contact other people preparing for international meetings: "This guy can secure the position of CEO? I think he and Joe Bush are completely different worlds." people!"

Zhao Dezhu was sure and affirmative: "Just ask now, do you feel that you have learned the advanced style of others?"

Lao Lei is still proud: "Some things of foreign-funded enterprises and multinational companies may not be successful by rote."

Zhao Dezhu could only remind him around the corner: "Apple's products have a characteristic. Before they are released, they are highly confidential to the world, but in fact, millions of products are produced, packaged, and shipped to monopoly stores around the world. shop, but also to ensure that there is no leak or delay during the whole process, this should be his job, right?"

In the previous life, guessing what Apple products would look like after improvement every year became a global program.

In addition, Apple hands over so many products to suppliers all over the world for OEM production every year. This kind of coordination and management ability from supply chain to logistics.

Possibly the best in the world.

Lao Lei thought about it.

Zhao Dezhu finally reminded him: "Old man Qiao is an artist-like figure. He is very creative, and he does things seriously. The details can drive people crazy, but he is not very good at business operations. Let me tell you, If the Apple mobile phone can be successful, Lao Qiao can at best come up with a good product, but it is thanks to this guy that he sells the product well."

Just at this moment, Lao Lei heard that Cork had just made a call: "Huh? I asked you to go to Jiaopen immediately twenty minutes ago. Why haven't you left yet?"

There is a joke about Chang Kaishen, the captain of the transportation brigade, that is, when he was facing the three major battles or the battle of crossing the river, he made a phone call thousands of miles away to direct the machine gun position to move tens of centimeters.

It is an invalid micro-manipulation used to ridicule this kind of leapfrog command or just to show one's own authority.

But in Cork it's clearly the guy with the extreme micro.

He is like playing StarCraft, a top master who can not only control the overall situation strategically, but also quickly point all the flying dragons for micro-manipulation in details.

The final result is that in view of Zhao Dezhu’s great experience contribution to the research and development of the Q1 mobile phone, that is, the ancient song mobile phone, in 2007, Apple’s Asian R\u0026D Center specially hired him as the Chief Experience Officer of IPAD R\u0026D.

With the seemingly inconspicuous tablet business project, it seemed natural for Cork to arrange a group of secretarial offices to Jiangzhou.

Job Bush apparently also emphasized to Kirk that Zhao Dezhu should not be allowed to replace him to promote R\u0026D changes. If the outside world knows, the stock price is estimated to collapse by more than 100 million.

So the reasons for secrecy are also valid.

Zhao Dezhu first learned about the status of the R\u0026D work from the executive secretary office, and then started to participate in the R\u0026D centers in Jiaopen and Ah San.

All will launch the second-generation Apple mobile phone in the next half year, and take out the IPAD prototype as an evaluation before the end of the year.

After making the phone call, Kok confirmed that the Coke Basin R\u0026D Center will be established and put into operation within 12 days, and the first batch of personnel will arrive in Tokyo and Asan within 15 hours!

And when Cork left Jiangzhou three hours later, a liaison officer he left behind had shown Lao Lei the ERP system they had been running for the past two years, that is, the enterprise resource planning system, which could integrate the entire R\u0026D system , production system, parts suppliers, foundries, and retailers are fully connected, and the entire supply chain can be inspected at any time, from R\u0026D to raw materials to customer orders.

It is clear at a glance where there is a delay or error in any link.

Lao Lei was a little stunned to see the details of the internal operation of a world-class company.

Not only advanced technology and scientific research strength, but also an efficient management model.

Looking at the taillights of the concierge car heading to the airport with Zhao Dezhu: "Five or six years ago, the ERP system was very popular in China, and everyone including Yinshan was vying for this market, but it was quickly scoffed at by major companies across the country. It does not conform to the national conditions of the country, and it is not down-to-earth... Now it seems that no matter how good the ingredients are, there must be a good cook."

Zhao Dezhu is very sure: "This is definitely a good cook, Lao Lei, maybe you were the top manager in the country before, but I think this kind of opportunity to learn and improve is very rare, it is worth you to seize it, and I don't know software, no If you understand hardware, you can only have a say in product experience. A smartphone is an all-round product that covers software development, hardware manufacturing, and even chip production. Whether we Chinese can truly fully grasp the autonomy of advanced products depends on you. .”

Two or three months after returning from Zhao Dezhu's Jiaopan, Qiao Jiaozhu also spent several days after being in Expert Mountain.

Zhao Dezhu finally sorted out the advantages of European and American countries, including Japan and South Korea in the chip, software and hardware industries.

He knew very well how much he was worth. Besides giving money, he just wanted to find the right person. Who would lead the line?

Yue Yaofeng is actually a person who is similar to a factory manager. He is good at building factories and managing factory affairs. He is not an expert in research and development, but a logistics manager.

The importance of Sun Xingping to Dopta is self-evident, but he is just a vanguard.

As for Chen Xiaolong and the others, they are in charge of research and development within the structure of WB and TM, and it is impossible to devote all of them to the mobile phone industry.

So the handsome guy along the way may have to be Lao Lei.

It's just that Zhao Dezhu didn't know that Lao Lei in his previous life also had the ambition of owning his own chip, but he was suppressed by the cruelty of throwing away billions of dollars every year.

After all, if you want to be self-reliant, the resources invested are too tragic.

Now I am suddenly shocked: "Then I... go to Ah San immediately to join their software team and learn how they built the most powerful software R\u0026D center from scratch."

After all, he is the former CEO of the largest software company in the country.

Such opportunities are indeed once in a lifetime.
