Technological Hegemony

At the end of July, Stellar Technology had its first team building.

The so-called team building means team building.

The company pays to take everyone on a trip, temporarily freeing them from the usual intense work, increasing their knowledge, and at the same time strengthening the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the team. However, all large companies hold such activities at least once or twice a year.

Luo Jia asked Li Moran to contact China Eastern Airlines, chartered a Boeing 747 400, and went straight to Bangkok, Thailand.

The 747 400 is a wide-body airliner that can accommodate more than 500 people, which is just enough for the entire company. However, with the rapid expansion of Star Technology, it is estimated that one aircraft may not be enough for the next team building.

The visa is not processed in advance, and the visa on arrival directly costs 2,000 baht, while the price of the visa in advance is 1,000 baht, which is slightly cheaper.

Before departure, the Finance Department issued an envelope to each of them. Inside the envelope were fifty 1,000-baht banknotes, totaling 50,000, equivalent to more than 10,000 RMB, as everyone's pocket money in Thailand.

During this period of time, the company has worked together to create an astonishing industrial value. Compared with the current profitability of Star Technology, the cost of this trip is really nothing.

The smaller the country in Southeast Asia, the more moths there are.

Thai Customs has the habit of spot checking cash, and requires inbound tourists to carry 20,000 baht or equivalent foreign exchange with them to prove that they have sufficient spending power.

After the plane landed, it went through customs smoothly.

The heads of various departments counted the number of people, boarded the bus that picked up the airport, and headed towards the Hilton Hotel in the bustling city.

The administrative department also prepared local mobile phone cards for everyone, so that everyone can surf the Internet and check information.

In fact, the members of the Straight Steel Boys prefer to go to Tokyo, because there is Akihabara, where you can buy comics, figures, and various electronic products, as well as have the opportunity to drink maid coffee and eat kawaii dishes made by maids .

It's a pity that getting a visa from Neon Country is more troublesome and time-consuming, and Star Technology still has important tasks to do next, so there is no way to wait for a visa, so we had to choose Thailand, which is convenient for entry and exit, as the destination of this trip.

They stayed in Bangkok for three nights before moving north to Chiang Mai, where they also stayed for three nights.

In this world, wherever there is business, there are always Chinese compatriots.

This trip was undertaken by a local Chinese travel agency, and the itinerary was comfortable and wonderful.

Five-star hotels throughout the journey, luxurious self-service packages, if you disagree, you can book a shemale show and an elephant paradise, so that everyone can have fun and avoid the trouble of queuing.

All in all, Luo Jia has only one goal, to let the brothers who are working hard with him enjoy the highest quality service, not afraid to spend money, and want the best in everything.

Any business is based on people.

Without these brothers, Luo Jia himself is nothing, and after every tough battle, they deserve the highest level of enjoyment.

The most indispensable in the company are straight men and otaku. Although they work in the bustling metropolis, they seldom go out for shopping and spend all day with games and anime.

This trip can be regarded as an eye-opener for everyone, and Luo Jia promised that the next team building will directly kill Akihabara, and even book a hotel near Akihabara, which makes everyone look forward to it.

On the last day, everyone checked out the room, and then took the bus to the airport. They will take off from Chiang Mai and return directly to Shanghai.

Luo Jia was sitting on the window seat thinking, at this moment, his phone rang suddenly, and when he picked it up, it was Gong Xiangdong.

"I brought everyone to Thailand for a few days, and everyone is exhausted recently." Luo Jia said.

"Thailand? Why don't you go to Akihabara?" Gong Xiangdong asked.

Luo Jia thought it was funny, even he thought so. Could it be that people in the technology circle, old and young, all have this kind of virtue, and they only have Akihabara in their eyes?

"Google is currently inspecting factories around the world,

You know about this, right? " Gong Xiangdong asked.

Luo Jia nodded, "Yes, I guess they want to acquire one of the three factories, LG, HTC, and Nokia, and enter the mobile phone industry. After all, during this period of time, Samsung and Apple have joined forces, and domestic companies have drastically changed the Android system. , making Google very passive.”

"That's the case, but we all guessed wrong. Google's appetite is bigger than we thought." Gong Xiangdong said.

"Bigger?"

"Well, I got news that tomorrow, Google will officially announce the acquisition of LG, HTC and Nokia at the same time."

"They're not going to buy one factory, they're going to buy three at once!"

"Once the acquisition is completed, Google will have more than 17,000 franchised stores around the world, and an annual production capacity of more than 200 million mobile phones." Gong Xiangdong said.

Luo Jia frowned. At present, the company with the highest mobile phone production in the world is Samsung, with more than 300 million units per year. Huawei and Apple are both around 200 million units, tied for second place.

If Google acquires LG, HTC and Nokia at the same time, their production capacity will exceed 200 million units and they will become the new second largest mobile phone player in the world.

The war with Samsung and Apple is not over yet, and a new giant has joined the fray.

And Google has the Android system with the highest installed volume in the world, which will be their fatal killer.

"Why do you come to me for this kind of thing? I can't help it." Luo Jia said lightly.

Although the surface is calm and calm, Luo Jia's heart is beating wildly at the moment, and his heart has already exploded.

When promoting the mobile assistant in an all-round way, Luo Jia quietly planted a thunderbolt, planning to poke the chrysanthemum of the big Google in the future.

Could it be that the day of my dreams is coming so soon?

Gong Xiangdong said eagerly on the phone, "Mr. Luo, we are old friends, so let's not keep it a secret."

"I know you have traveled to Thailand, but I also know that Hong Tao didn't go this time, and Di Wuchang didn't go either. One of them is in charge of business operations, and the other is in charge of human resources."

"During this period, it seems that Xingchen Technology has withdrawn its troops, but in fact, you have not been idle at all. Hong Tao is negotiating acquisitions with more than one factory at the same time, and his whereabouts are all over the entire Yangtze River Delta region."

"And Di Wuchang rented the entire 17th and 18th floors of the CICC Building, a total of 3,200 square meters of office area, and added 640 workstations in one go. There are many people every day. Went in and out of the CICC Building and accepted Di Wuchang's interview."

"All these signs show that next, you will not only make moves, but also big moves!"

 …

Shanghai.

When the team returned from Thailand, the employees were surprised to find that the company's office area had more than doubled again.

An e-commerce company that happened to be located on the 17th and 18th floors moved out, and the two empty floors were rented by Xingchen Technology, and the renovation was completed overnight.

In addition, there are many unfamiliar colleagues in the company. It should be that Di Wuchang led the human resources department to do the work during the vacation.

"Let me tell you, with Mr. Luo's workaholic personality, why is he so kind to take us on a trip? Look at this situation, the company will probably start a new project soon."

"No mistake, our trip, the business department, the human resources department, plus half of the administration department and half of the finance department, did not go to Thailand. When we were riding an elephant in Chiang Mai, they interviewed in the company Newcomer."

"Mr. Luo must be very clear that we will not have a good life for a long time to come, so let us enjoy it in advance."

Everyone was discussing and drinking the free morning tea provided by the company.

At this time, a young man from the administration department hurried into the office with a serious expression and issued a notice.

All the managers above the middle level of the company gathered in the large conference room.
