Although Wang Lie had already started to curse in his heart, he still said calmly: "10 million 6% is not a reasonable price, but in order to express our sincerity in cooperation, we can also give a premium.

And Mr. Posack, you should know that you have just won the Air Force order, so the development prospects of cooperation with us cannot be measured only by money."

Posack pondered without saying anything, but his wife asked bluntly: "Since you are willing to pay for the premium, how much can you pay?"

[Are I here to raise the price for you couple?]

Jeff paid 10 million, why? You asked me to pay 10,200 now, and then ask Jeff how much he paid?

Since taking over the company, Wang Lie has hated these workers very much. He speaks without turning around and is straightforward and chokes on the lungs.

However, before Wang Lie could think about how to answer, he heard Li Ye speak.

"Before Mr. Wang's bid, we wanted to ask a question for the interests of shareholders and the company's development prospects, that is, can you guarantee that you will not use Cisco and engage in unfair competition in the market?"

"After all, the original intention of the multi-protocol router is to connect all incompatible computers. We don't want to see all computers that can connect to each other, but IBM is separated from the outside."

"."

"Sir, may I ask you"

Wang Lie frowned and wanted to ask who Li Ye was, but when he was halfway through his words, he remembered that he had asked this question when he was in his company.

This young man is an intern at Hong Kong Island Fengyu Company.

But now when we met for the second time, Wang Lie finally realized that Li Ye was not like an intern.

Have you ever met an intern from a company that would speak casually in front of the boss? Have you ever met an intern? Will the boss listen carefully when he was talking?

【Are he and I the same type of people?】

Wang Lie frowned slightly and began to ponder.

Although Chambers made Cisco's "Internet" amazing, Wang Lie was not very optimistic. He just used Cisco to "distort" IBM.

When Posack saw Wang Lie silent, he immediately stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I think it's not a good idea to cooperate with your Wang'an company. Please come back!"

"."

Wang Lie wanted to say something else, but the Posacks had already stood up and left.

Wang Lie was stunned. He was now convinced that this Posack was a bad habit with the technicians in his company.

Usually, you can't kick a lot, and it looks like a soft cock, but if they have any opinions about you, then you will be completely honored, and even the eight cows can't be pulled back.

A follower beside Wang Lie couldn't help but say, "It's so disappointing. Did you even ignore basic politeness?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a faint voice.

"How can you say it's rude? At least they are not half an hour late!"

"."

Wang Lie finally kept his expression calm, but he was both annoyed and angry.

At the beginning, he let Pei Wencong, Li Ye and others go for half an hour, but he is a big company and the other party is a small company. Isn’t this normal?

Cisco is at best considered a "company". What qualifications are there to be rude to itself?

.........

"Chambers, I don't care what method you use, I must deal with that Posack. In addition, I have to find out what happened to Pei Wencong. The business of the Amelicans cannot tolerate a Hong Kong islander interfering.

Wang Lie arrived in San Francisco in the morning and bought a plane ticket back to Boston in the afternoon, but before leaving, he kept John Chambers.

He was about to get mad.

He flew from the East Coast to the East Coast with sincerity, and never expected that he would be treated so embarrassingly.

Chambers hesitated for a moment and comforted Wang Lie: "Mr. Wang, I don't think it is necessary to involve Cisco in the industry competition.

Because it is a brand new industry, I think the prospects of Cisco may not be weaker than ours.”

Wang Lie said calmly: "Then what you mean is that I should pay $100 million to buy the shares held by GF, and then wait for it to grow to a behemoth like our Wang'an company?"

"Don't you know IBM's suppression over the years? If we don't compete with him, are we waiting to be hit by him and go bankrupt?"

"."

Chambers sighed and said nothing more.

Once a huge company has formed a business philosophy, it will not be so easy to change, especially under the premise that the previous concepts have achieved brilliant success.

But now IBM has changed, and they have begun to be compatible with other small and medium-sized companies. If Wang'an Computer Company does not change, what will happen in the end?

Chambers returned to the hotel with concern and racked his brains to figure out how to complete the task assigned by Wang Lie.

But he just arrived at the hotel for a while and received a call from Jeff.

"Hey, Mr. Chambers, are you interested in chatting alone?"

.........

Half an hour later, Chambers met Jeff again, Pei Wencong and the two young and indifferent "interns".

After a simple polite approach, Li Ye asked Chambers bluntly: "Mr. Chambers, how did you notice Cisco? After all, it is still a small company now."

Chambers said frankly: "Wang An computer has always had military orders, and the military's information network has been on the market for several years. If it can be popularized in civilian use, I think it is an opportunity."

Li Ye asked with a smile: "What kind of opportunity do you think is? Is it an opportunity to change the world?"

"."

Chambers was stunned.

He has been telling Wang Lie these days that Cisco's innovation is epoch-making, but Wang Lie doesn't believe it at all.

But now, I actually heard what I wanted to hear most from the mouth of an "intern".

Chambers hesitated and nodded, "Yes, I'm very optimistic."

Li Ye smiled, turned his head slightly, and gave Jeff a wink.

So Jeff smiled and said to Chambers: "Mr. Chambers, are you interested? Go to Cisco as a manager."

"."

Chambers was stunned again, and then asked, "Isn't the current manager Mr. Posack? Why do you have to replace him again?"

【Of course it was because someone recommended you!】

Jeff explained with a smile: "Posack is good at technology, but not at managing companies, so we made an agreement when we invest in capital and would send a company manager."

Chambers nodded slowly and fell into silence.

Silicon Valley is different from the mainland. In the mainland, the founders of companies will definitely hold the management power and will not let go even if they are beaten to death.

However, in Silicon Valley, it is normal for founders and managers to coexist in a company.

Because the founders like innovation, they would rather take some adventure to some extent.

Managers are the opposite. They are good at managing and coordinating a business, and in most cases, they are reluctant and do not take too much risk.

Although there is a situation where one person is both an entrepreneur and a manager, for example, the two entrepreneurs of HP are good managers and good managers.

But in most cases, a person's quality is not easy to be both an entrepreneur and a manager. A good entrepreneur may be a very bad manager. This is one of the reasons why the founders of startup companies are often fired by shareholders later.

And this is the case with the Posack couple.

So when Jeff was investing, he made sure that the Posacks were major shareholders, but GF venture capital companies had to choose another manager.

Chambers's silence made Li Ye a little worried.

He didn't know if Cisco would have lost Chambers, it would have achieved the glory that had surpassed Microsoft as it did in its original historical trajectory.

Cisco is not Cisco, which Chambers joined a few years later. At that time, Cisco was already developing well.

So will Chambers fall in love with this "small company"?

As it turns out, Li Ye’s concerns are redundant.

Because although Cisco is not Cisco a few years later, Chambers is not Chambers a few years later. Chambers is also a small person now.

After Chambers was silent, he asked seriously: "I want to ask, how do you treat Cisco? Should you sell it after it appreciates?"

Jeff and Pei Wencong shook their heads together, but did not speak.

Chambers subconsciously looked at Li Ye because the "intern" left a deep impression on him.

Sure enough, Li Ye said calmly: "We want to make Cisco the number one in the industry, not the lighthouse, but the world's number one. If we can't do it, we will cooperate, and if we don't cooperate, we will acquire."

"."

Chambers looked at Li Ye blankly, not understanding at all why the intern said something to his heart.

Chambers did not understand technology, but later he was able to bring Cisco's large-scale technology company to glory, which was based on his keen business acumen and superb management skills, and the second was his simple and rough strategy.

His strategy is what Li Ye said - if you can't do it, cooperate, and if you don't cooperate, kill it.

After Chambers was silent for a moment, he smiled comfortably. The depression that had been held in his heart these days disappeared.

"Then, can we talk about my annual salary?"

Jeff and others all laughed.
