20 years of restarting life

Chapter 2892 Choice

Although Qi Xidong's words sounded a bit extreme at first, if one carefully analyzed and considered them without looking at them with a biased eye and a critical attitude, Zhao Changan believed that Qi Xidong naturally had his own logical reasons that he thought were correct.

The homesick wanderer pays attention to the fact that the leaves fall and the bloodline continues, while the wandering traveler is free and easy, thinking that "there is no place where bones cannot be hidden, and there are green mountains everywhere in life."

Qi Xidong is obviously the latter who sees things very clearly and has no taboos.

Zhao Changan smiled after hearing this. As the saying goes, everyone has their own aspirations. It's good enough if one can do his best and stick to his heart. He is not a saint and does not have the superpower to change a middle-aged man with a strong mind and mature thoughts.

Seeing that it was getting late, we changed the subject and discussed BlackBerry.

As of now, Qi Xidong obviously does not agree with the more radical short-term and medium-term development plan proposed by Zhao Changan. Instead, after communicating with senior executives such as Mike and Doug, he quietly marginalized Zhao Changan's progress intentions for RIM within the company.

Instead, they will temporarily continue to follow up on Jim and Mike's original plan for BlackBerry.

To put it simply, we must first increase BlackBerry's production and sales volume, to at least $300 million to $400 million in annual sales, and barely reach an output value that can be compared with the stock price and equity, and more or less make sense. Only then can we discuss the next step, the update plan proposed by Zhao Changan.

It’s not that Qi Xidong and Mike do not recognize Zhao Changan’s long-term intentions and ideas, but that they think Zhao Changan has misjudged short-term operations.

Since everyone's long-term goals are the same, there seems to be no need to talk so much with Zhao Changan about flexible compromises in the short term.

Because Qi Xidong is the CEO of BlackBerry, Mike is the technical core, and Doug is responsible for upstream procurement and manufacturing production, and they are also the three leaders of the company's decision-making level. As far as specific matters of the company are concerned, they have every right to make such decisions.

It cannot be said that there is nothing wrong with Qi Xidong's steady and cautious approach, but in fact Zhao Changan doesn't like it. However, he will not go against money.

Qi Xidong's decision is a good direction for stabilizing and raising BlackBerry's stock price, as well as the company's quarterly and annual financial statements and profitability. It can be said that he is making money for Zhao Changan.

Just like Imagination, ever since it decided to go the route of trade, industry and technology, not to mention the future, even now it has been angrily criticized by many knowledgeable people.

It seems that China has not become a world chip power and the reason is that the imaginative senior officials have a short-sighted vision. But twenty years after Zhao Changan's era, they have the top three market share in the computer world, making a lot of money, and they are not afraid of anyone trying to seize it.

Zhao Changan saw many things in Qi Xidong's direction that were completely different from the vision, thoughts and behavioral principles of senior domestic professional managers.

To put it bluntly, they have deeply absorbed the Western ideas and behavioral norms of profiteering and money-orientedness, and have not accepted the profound traditional virtues of China at all.

The good thing about this matter is that if Zhao Changan guessed correctly, in the future, BlackBerry will be criticized and abused by a large number of passionate people because of its various selfish behaviors. Basically, these people will curse Qi Xidong as a traitor and share most of the firepower with Zhao Changan.

Just like this time, even though Zhao Changan knew that Qi Xidong was being hypocritical towards him, he deliberately avoided him and ran to the forest in the northwest corner of Lake Erie to hunt, barbecue, play with women, build a pure wooden villa, and soak in the hot springs in various ways and postures.

Not only Jin Chenxiao and Qiao Hang, but also Li Xin, Zeng Hao, and Zhou Kexin from Yinami's North American headquarters knew this, and even the employees sent from home and abroad knew this.

Knowing that Zhao Changan had shot himself in the foot this time, he tried every possible means and went through great pains to find someone he thought he could trust to be the CEO of BlackBerry, but ended up making the same mistake as his teacher Liu Qihua.

This was something Zhao Changan had never thought of before, such a shameless design, but character determines destiny and this coincidence happened.

Therefore, even though Qi Xidong said one thing to Chairman Zhao Changan before, but did another, and now he has openly opposed Zhao Changan's meddling in BlackBerry, Zhao Changan also chose to "I will remind you, but I will not forcefully interfere with your decision", a seemingly weak and indulgent attitude.

So many times, when people repeatedly criticize entrepreneurs for having no sense of social responsibility.

You should also think about whether they dare to do it and whether you have given them any guarantee.

Just like the Varyag, which has now rounded the Cape of Good Hope, entered the Indian Ocean and is heading for the Strait of Malacca, it was also bought by a businessman, but in fact, the people standing behind him endorsed and guaranteed his actions.

Otherwise, he would dare to do such a thing. Even if he did, the Istanbul Strait and the Aegean Sea would not be allowed to proceed without the efforts and communication of the country.

Not to mention transporting it back safely from tens of thousands of miles away. Without a strong motherland, it would be a dream to expect a smooth journey.

“Since BlackBerry has decided to follow the next route set by Jim and Mike, it must pay attention to the fine-tuning and changes in the details during implementation. My suggestion is that since BlackBerry’s slogan and core concept is to serve and guide modern unlimited Internet to work anytime and anywhere, it should think about this question: if the products and services cannot cover services in most major countries in the world, then BlackBerry is still not a global wireless communication high-tech company.——”

Zhao Changan spoke, and Qi Xidong listened.

There is no need to say some things too directly between smart people. Those who should understand can understand.

At this point in the conversation, both of them have basically understood each other's true intentions and bottom line.

Although both of them felt sorry for not being able to convince the other party, they had actually anticipated this outcome in their hearts before the conversation, because if it was not the case, then the other party would not be the other party.

There is no doubt that neither side has the intention to compromise, but neither side has the intention to force the other side to jump up.

After all, the end result is that the goals and interests of both parties are essentially the same.

The next morning, Zhao Changan saw that the female Filipino maid became energetic. Not only did her legs seem a little slow when she walked, but she also seemed very relaxed. It was obvious that she had eaten enough the night before.

Although Qi Xidong may not have actually changed, Zhao Changan always felt that he seemed to have become smaller, and the way he spoke and did things gave people a soft feeling. However, he was in good spirits. It was estimated that although he gave up a lot of protein last night, he also absorbed a lot of nutrients.

Generally speaking, in this kind of situation, it is said that women suffer losses, but in fact men feel that they are indeed very excited, but they are also very tired and spit out protein like spring silkworms.

If the woman is well taken care of, she will be both happy and satisfied, and gain protein nutrients at the same time.

At least between this Filipino maid and Qi Xidong, Zhao Changan couldn't see that the Filipino maid suffered any disadvantage at all.
