Rebirth Starts From 2006

He was holding the tablet in his hand, but he didn't hide it. He just placed it horizontally on the table in a different direction, so both Chen Yang and Qin Yu could see the content on it.

Qin Yu rested his head on Huang Shan's shoulder, blinking his eyes from time to time and let out a sound of surprise, "Hey, that's okay too,"

Huang Shan nodded, "Well, there is something wrong with this person, this person still has something!"

"More than a little, I see a lot, okay?"

Qin Yu swiped his finger on the screen twice, pointed and said, "Look at this, and here, I think it makes sense, and it seems to be quite feasible."

Huang Shan continued to nod, "Well, I think so too."

Then he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Boss, what do you think?"

Chen Yang's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, "I'll see with my eyes!"

Looking at the birds singing all over the screen, Chen Yang's gloomy face could drip water,

What do you mean, I can't understand English, so what are you doing in front of me?

Huang Shan blinked, then suddenly covered her mouth, "Didn't you graduate from a bachelor's degree? Can't read English?"

Qin Yu calmly added a knife, "How did you pass the fourth level? Could it be plagiarism?!"

Chen Yang grinned and looked at Qin Yu, "Congratulations, the answer is correct, plus ten points!"

What's wrong with me copying at the fourth level, am I proud? !

Puff puff……

Huang Shan resisted the urge to laugh wildly, put down the tablet, adjusted her facial expression, and said to Chen Yang, "This email is from Dwayne Chow, Operations Director of Palm Company in the United States.

This person is actually a Chinese-American. His Chinese name is Zhou Daoen. He has ten years of work experience in palm company. He has successively engaged in research and development, marketing and operation positions. Unable to advance to the top. "

Chen Yang nodded lightly,

In the United States, if you can master the core technology, you may be promoted to the top of the company. For example, Zhang Zhongmou, who founded TSMC, served as the senior vice president of Texas Instruments and became the third person after the chairman and president.

But this is only possible, and even if he goes up, he will not have the right to speak. The reason why Lao Zhang resigned from Texas Instruments was because he disagreed with the president at the time, and later because he expressed his views in public many times.

Offended the president and had to leave.

In Europe and the United States, except for white people, no matter how good their performance is, they can't master the core technology or market, and they can't even think about becoming the top executives of the company, let alone have the right to speak.

The experience of Zhou Daoen is easy to understand. As a Chinese American, it is not easy to be the director.

It's just that Chen Yang is a little strange, why did he send an email to Huang Shan?

You must know that Huang Shan has given Palm CEO Patrick McVeigh full management rights. Normally, except for McVeigh, no one else has the right to directly contact Huang Shan.

At this time, Huang Shan continued, "Because there was no hope of promotion in Palm Company in the United States, Zhou Daoen planned to change jobs, but he learned from a familiar headhunter that we are looking for the helm of Damai Company,"

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger, "You require this person to understand technology, understand the market, understand operations, understand management, and be able to conform to our corporate culture. I can only find it from the management of overseas electronic technology companies. Or our own countrymen, is the best target,

Coincidentally, Zhou Daoen fits this requirement very well. Although he is not Chinese, he has always used Mandarin at home and has some understanding of traditional culture.

Then, after he understood our recruitment requirements, he sent me this email! "

So, does this person want to switch from his own company to his own company? ? ?

Chen Yang touched his chin, feeling a little weird,

Well, this is not the point, he asked casually, "Just a cover letter, why do you feel like you have found a treasure?"

“It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say it’s a treasure trove, but it’s rewarding and it’s not just a cover letter,”

Huang Shan smiled, leaned on the back of the chair with her arms folded in front of her chest, and said to Chen Yang, "The subject of his email is a suggestion for the joint development of Damai and Palm. It is precisely because of this title that I clicked opened this email, and his job application information is just a little bit of content attached to the end."

"Joint development between Barley and Palm?" Chen Yang blinked and said with a smile, "However, our strategic direction is to try not to make these two companies appear to be too closely related!"

In order to avoid unnecessary troubles that may arise in the future, Chen Yang hopes that domestic and foreign companies will not have too close a relationship, at least on the surface, otherwise it may not end well when the King of Understanding comes to power.

Huang Shan nodded and said with a smile, "That's true. However, the few suggestions he put forward will not deepen the relationship between the American palm company and Damai, but will indeed achieve the goal of joint development."

She didn’t keep it secret, and said directly, “A few years ago, Palm’s head office acquired Handspring, a smartphone manufacturer founded by the same founder, and launched the Treo mobile phone to the market. Until the year before last, Treo released a brand new smartphone in Europe. 3G smartphone Treo 755P CDMA,

However, since the Treo 650, the palm system is no longer the only choice for Treo mobile phones. At that time, the palm company introduced the WM system to compete with the palm system that had been sold to Japan.

Speaking of this, Huang Shan couldn't help raising her hands high, and sighed absurdly, "I really don't know what their managers were thinking at that time?"

Do you think it's fun to fight yourself, or not achieve market leadership? !

If you are in a leading position in the market, opening two small accounts to fight against yourself can indeed promote the expansion of market share, but when you are not in that position, rashly playing internal competition will not help the overall situation, but will only consume resources in vain .

Chen Yang shrugged, "Maybe they are thinking, anyway, this son is no longer mine, so they might as well have another spare tire!"

Qin Yu took a sip of coffee, put down the coffee cup, sighed and said, "It's a pity that the spare tire was not developed, but instead raised my own daughter to death. The Treo 755P became the last name of the Treo mobile phone, and no new ones have been launched since then. product."

Chen Yang blinked his eyes, and managed to clear his mind, "So, the boss who founded the company originally made PDAs, and later founded PalmSource, which is the main operating system, and Handspring, which is the main smartphone Treo. ,

Then, he first sold his son's palm system, and then killed his own daughter's Treo mobile phone? Just a palm PDA left? "

These two companies were founded by the same boss, so they are both sons and daughters.

Huang Shan spread her hands, "That's right, that's it, and just now Zhou Daoen mentioned something in the email, Palm's head office, that is, the company's founder Jeff Hawkins, is seeking to sell the company, and now he is negotiating with HP company contacts,

However, any multinational company can see the financial difficulties in 2008, so it will not easily make an acquisition. PalmC's business is not indispensable to HP, so no formal negotiations have been launched yet.

Zhou Daoen suggested that our PalmSource company initiate a merger and acquisition for the original palm head office and wholly acquire all their businesses, including PDA and smartphone Treo,

Although the Treo has ceased production, the palm PDA is still in normal production, and their sales channels are also completely preserved! "
