Ballmer did not agree in the end. He thanked Feng Yu for his good intentions and gave him a chance to work under Feng Yu in the future. Ballmer does not think Microsoft will lose. Even if he goes to Feng Yu's side, he also does not believe Microsoft can suppress Microsoft.
Although Feng Yu did not succeed in recruiting Ballmer, he could tell there are internal problems in Microsoft. If there were no problems, then Ballmer will not come and listen to what Feng Yu said. He will not even show any signs of hesitation.
Feng Yu wants to give Ballmer the position of CEO of Taihua Holdings. Taihua Holdings does not have a CEO and only has one President, Zong Qingxian.
Taihua Holdings's IT business is increasing, and Feng Yu felt they need someone to manage the IT industry. This person must have enough connections.
Feng Yu likes Ballmer. He is capable in management and has lots of connections. If Ballmer is willing to join Taihua Holdings, he will be able to develop its IT industry and also deal a heavy blow to Microsoft!
Your President cum CEO had jumped ship to become Microsoft's CEO. This means he also does not think Microsoft will do well.
This way, Microsoft's sales will be affected, and Lenovo Kingsoft can make use of this opportunity to expand. That's why Feng Yu wants to poach Ballmer even if he has to pay Ballmer more. He even gave Taihua Holdings shares to Ballmer.
But Feng Yu is not surprised that Ballmer is not willing to join Feng Yu. From the surface, if Ballmer were to jump ship, he will be moving to a lower position.
Since Ballmer is not willing to bet on his future, Feng Yu will not force him. Maybe in the near future, Ballmer will change his mind.
But when that happens, the conditions will not be so good.
… …
Feng Yu flew back to China to attend Lenovo Group's Board of Directors meeting. There will be an important matter to discuss at this meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am resigning from my position as Lenovo's CEO. Please nominate a new CEO." Liu Chuanzhi said at the meeting.
This was just a process. Liu Chuanzhi was the chairman, and he had to nominate the new CEO.
The board of directors had been notified in advance, so they weren't surprised by Liu Chuanzhi's words.
All the directors agreed to Liu Chuanzhi's resignation, and the next step was to nominate a new CEO candidate. Yang Yuanqing was nominated by Liu Chuanzhi. The others had no objections.
When Yang Yuanqing learned that Liu Chuanzhi was going to give him the position of CEO so soon, he was also shocked. Originally, he thought that it would take at least the end of the year if it was fast, or two years if it was slow.
In less than two months, Feng Yu will be promoted to Lenovo Group's CEO!
The earlier it was, the happier he was. Who would refuse the opportunity to sit in a higher position one day earlier? Just like that, Yang Yuanqing became the new CEO of Lenovo, and the board of directors approved him.
Yang Yuanqing also gave a speech as usual. He wanted to tell the board of directors how he will lead Lenovo Group to grow faster.
When Yang Yuanqing was giving his speech, he was looking at Liu Chuanzhi and Feng Yu's expressions. Liu Chuanzhi did not need to say anything. Liu Chuanzhi knew what Yang Yuanqing was going to say in advance.
But Feng Yu was here today, and Yang Yuanqing was nervous.
Feng Yu was not one of Lenovo Group's directors. He did not even have any position in Lenovo Group. Wu Chih-gang was the director of Taihua Holdings. Wu Chih-gang was here, and why was Feng Yu here?
Could it be that there will be some changes in Lenovo's board of directors? Feng Yu was representing Taihua Holdings?
But that was not right. Feng Yu trusted Wu Chih-gang a lot. Wu Chih-gang was the first person to follow Feng Yu to conquer the world. From Feng Yu's expression, he does not look serious.
Actually, Feng Yu was not supposed to appear at Lenovo's board meeting. But when Feng Yu was here, no one asked Feng Yu to leave. They even added a chair for Feng Yu and Liu Chuanzhi to sit side by side. Even the representatives from the Chinese Academy of Sciences could only sit beside them.
"The first thing we will discuss today is the appointment of Lenovo Group's new CEO. This proposal had been approved, and it will be announced to the public after the meeting. Now, let's move on to the second proposal. Lenovo Group will be adding two new directors. They were nominated by the shareholders and voted to be Yang Yuanqing and Lei Jun. "
Everyone in the room knew about this proposal. Lenovo Kingsoft was getting more influential in Lenovo Group, and no one was surprised that Lei Jun would be joining the board of directors.
They thought Taihua Holdings would nominate one more director. But they did not expect Taihua Holdings to refuse.
"Alright. Today's board meeting should have ended. But General Manager Feng Yu is here today to announce something." Liu Chuanzhi said and turned to signal everyone to listen to Feng Yu.
Feng Yu looked around. "All of you had contributed to Lenovo Group's success. Although Lenovo Group's business did not increase by a lot in Taihua Holdings, I am optimistic about Lenovo Group's future. "
"I do not have any position in Lenovo Group, and it is not appropriate for me to be here today. I hope all of you are willing to listen to my bullsh * t."
Everyone laughed. Even if it was against the rules, who dares to say it out loud? Rules are set by humans.
"I am here today to represent Taihua Holdings to announce a piece of good news. It will affect Lenovo Group."
"I am announcing that Liu Chuanzhi will be relieved of his position as Taihua Holdings' Vice-President."
Ah?
Everyone was whispering to each other. This is good news?
Liu Chuanzhi is no longer a senior executive in Taihua Holdings. This is bad news for Lenovo Group!
Isn't General Manager Feng close to Liu Chuanzhi? Just now before the meeting, I saw the two of them talking and laughing. What's going on?
"Don't be anxious. I am not done yet. I am representing Taihua Holdings to announce that Liu Chuanzhi will be appointed as Taihua Holdings' CEO. This is good news, right? "
Everyone was stunned for a second and then clapped. So, it's a promotion. What a shock!
This is definitely good news. All along, Taihua Holdings only had a President and not a CEO. Liu Chuanzhi, Jiang Wanmeng, Wu Chih-gang, and the rest were only Vice-President.
But this time, Lenovo Group had appointed Liu Chuanzhi as the CEO. This shows that Lenovo Group's status in Taihua Holdings had increased. This also shows that General Manager Feng had a higher opinion of Lenovo Group.
"Alright. I am done. Since you all are free after work, let's have a meal together. Later, all of you can give Liu Chuanzhi a toast. Of course, Manager Yang and Manager Lei should not be spared! "
Feng Yu looked at everyone congratulating Liu Chuanzhi and said. I hope Old Liu will not disappoint me! As for Ballmer, he will surely regret this!
