Chapter 261 Power and Pressure
There are many big companies that ordinary investors are dazzled after seeing them and don’t know the so-called lawsuits.
Mergers and acquisitions, acquisitions, antitrust, all kinds of patent lawsuits that you sue me, I sue you, and a lawsuit between large companies can last for more than ten years.
Many of them even won the lawsuit but lost their lives.
In short, it is basically impossible to understand the various games involved in this if you fail to sit on the table.
Even if you sit on the table, it is impossible to completely control everything. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as winning a lawsuit or losing your life.
But this time the situation is obviously different.
Under huge external pressure, few people on the table reached a consensus. This almost declared that anything that happened next was normal.
Unfortunately, although the effect Satya Nadella hoped to achieve and Qiao Yu stopped the live broadcast within ten minutes, it was obviously not so easy to pass.
In fact, after Qiao Yu's live broadcast ended, Satya Nadella still had no rest. When he found that global stock markets were still falling to varying degrees, and the prices of precious metals, especially physical gold, suddenly began to soar again, he knew that he was in trouble.
Yes, when the mountain-like pressure swept over, it eventually hit the Indian elite.
There is no way. Since this matter has been characterized as a provocation by Microsoft, one person has to pay the price. Obviously, there is no more suitable candidate than Satya Nadella.
Indians with high status and power cannot be abandoned.
As for the sudden change of senior executives of high-tech companies, which may affect the turbulence of Microsoft's stock price, this is one of the prices that Microsoft needs to pay.
Someone has already helped Microsoft to argue with it very hard at the dining table, but it has not succeeded.
...
"Mr. Nadella, the company's board of directors has just held an emergency meeting. Based on the results of the meeting, it has decided to remove you from the position of Chairman of the Microsoft Board of Directors and CEO of Microsoft.
On behalf of the Microsoft Board of Directors, I would like to thank you very much for your hard and valuable efforts in the company over the past decade. Unfortunately, the Board of Directors decided to hold a decent farewell ceremony for you.”
At two o'clock in the morning, Satya Nadella had just dragged her tired body back to his big house when she received the call from the company secretary.
For a moment, Satya Nadella couldn't even fully react. At such a fast speed, he was fired by the board of directors?
You should know that before today he was the chairman of the board of directors and firmly controlled the board of directors of Microsoft.
"I can't understand! If I remember correctly, I was still the chairman of the board and did not call an emergency meeting before I left the company. This does not comply with the company's board of directors' agenda!"
Satya Nadella said fiercely that in his opinion this was shameless betrayal.
Before he left the Microsoft headquarters building, he was still the absolute dominant of the company. As a result, he was taken down as soon as he got home, which was obviously unacceptable to him.
Even if he really wants to take the blame, he should follow the normal company process instead of notifying him directly. This is not only rude, but also a kind of humiliation.
“We are in accordance with the provisions of Microsoft’s Articles of Association and the Delaware Company Law. After causing significant losses to the company, the chairman of the board of directors submitted an emergency board meeting after three board members submitted a motion for removal.
All processes are guaranteed to be legal and compliant. And to be honest, Mr. Nadella, you can no longer deal with many of the problems that the company will face next. In fact, you are now removing this position to protect you.
Of course... this is the original words that Mr. Bill Gates, the founder of the company, asked me to bring you. He also said that Microsoft will be very difficult for the next period of time, and it will require more than an outstanding leader with vision and management skills."
Satya Nadra was silent.
To be honest, he has always liked the company's special administrative secretary.
Being capable and obedient is the most important thing is to know how to follow others and know who is the boss.
He has never stinged with giving this secretary some benefits.
But now Satya Nadella suddenly realized that such a person is not so comfortable. Because he always stands on the side of the winner and is always loved by the winner.
It took a long time before Satya Nadella said: "I understand."
"Okay, I still hope you can go through the resignation procedures on time tomorrow. The board of directors hopes that you can complete all handover work as soon as possible. Form 8-K will be submitted tomorrow."
Satya Nadella couldn't help asking, "So who will take over my position?"
"Mr. Bill Gates is temporarily taken over as the chairman of the board. The CEO is temporarily taken over by Mr. Christine, the company's senior vice president, and a new CEO is recruited from all over the world at the same time."
Sure enough, those real big men always make everything seamless. He thought he was irreplaceable, but now he found that he was still too naive.
The facts prove that no one in this world is irreplaceable. But what angered him the most was that these Ansa people had no warmth at all.
He devoted his life to Microsoft...
"Oh, by the way, there is another news I think I should tell you in advance. In view of the significant losses caused to the company by your decision, the board of directors believes that this early termination of the contract will not touch any compensation clause, and..."
"And what?" Satya Nadella suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"Let's talk about it when you come to the company tomorrow. Sorry, Mr. Nadella, goodbye."
After saying that, the other person simply hung up the phone.
Satya Nadella turned back with a serious expression, but what she heard was a crazy busy voice.
"Fuck!" Satya Nadella cursed viciously. He seemed to think of these damn Anza people too kindly!
...
In the conference room of the second meeting room of the International Mathematics Research Center of Yanbei University, Qiao Yu was sitting on the stage and staring at the list he had just checked.
Originally, he only planned to choose four people, but now he has added eight people. There is no way. He talked about his plan to Zheng Xiwen before, and he was so excited that he would get up.
His dear Uncle Zheng ran out of his office almost at a 100-meter sprint.
Then at noon, General Manager Yu rushed to Yanbei University and invited him and Zheng Xiwen to have lunch together.
Well, it would be better to say that it was an invitation, but it was forced to have a meal together. A lot of people are chasing him and asking questions like a curious baby.
If it weren't for the fact that he had planned to hold a meeting this afternoon and announced the project team's candidates, he wouldn't be able to get out now.
Of course, he did not completely escape at this time. Knowing that he was going to have a meeting, Yu Yanjiang did not pester him, but went to find his mentor Tian Yanzhen for tea.
He said he would come to chat with him after he finished the meeting.
Qiao Yu couldn't even refuse, because General Manager Yu's reasons can be said to be very sufficient.
The Huaxia Science Development Committee will hold a meeting tomorrow to demonstrate the meeting on the postponement of the moon landing plan and establishing aerospace advantages first.
The suggestion of postponing the moon landing plan and taking the lead in establishing aerospace advantages was proposed by Qiao Yu first. So he had to talk about this issue with Qiao Yu first, and there would be something to say at the meeting that will start next week.
Mr. Yu said it very clearly.
He did not come for himself today, but was led by the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, and thousands of engineers who worked day and night with countless Chinese lunar landing projects for the lunar landing project.
Although what Qiao Yu said at this meeting needs to be discussed in detail by experts, everyone must fully present the facts and reason in the end to draw a conclusion.
However, Yu Yanjiang, as a collaborator in promoting Qiao Yu and the moon landing calculation project, has the power and need to have a basic understanding of this so-called absolute advantage of aerospace before the meeting begins.
The original words are that they can't go to this meeting with blind eyes. The moon landing project can be postponed, but first of all, we have to convince him.
The newest ⊥小⊥小⊥ said⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
If even he can't convince him, he will have the chief designer, commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief and all the moon landers on his side.
Moreover, Yu Yanjiang is not as easy to fool as Zheng Xiwen. After all, he is an old astronomy man and has been struggling in the field of aerospace engineering. It is not something Qiao Yu can fool him by just talking about a few nouns.
So I ask very detailed.
Qiao Yu said that if we launch a few satellites with laser emitters, we can establish a planetary active defense system, and can also connect multiple satellites to respond in seconds...
Then let’s talk more about the project details.
How much power is a laser weapon? What is the effective range? How to solve the space power supply of a megawatt-level laser? Are there any considerations for internal heat dissipation problems? How to resist interference?
There is also the reliability of multi-star collaborative aiming? Can the problem of submicroar beam synchronization be solved? How much is the overall cost? How long does the warning delay last? How much does it ensure that there will be no judgment errors?
In addition, you will have to postpone the lunar landing project when you come up, so have you done a full-size re-orbit experiment? If the project fails and the defense system is not built, it means that China may lose the priority of deep space exploration and strategic defense at the same time.
This will cause a serious blow to China's domestic and international reputation. After all, how long it took to land on the moon was announced to the public.
Yes, China is different from those developed countries in the West after all. We pay attention to one thing and one thing that will do.
If you fail to complete the words on time, everyone will feel embarrassed.
In short, at the dinner table, Yu Yanjiang almost pointed at Qiao Yu's nose and said that Qiao Yu's idea was the young technical romanticism at work!
I have no experience in doing big projects and want to do something big just by slapping my head. But I didn’t consider that engineering and theoretical construction are completely different...
In short, Qiao Yu was taught a lesson by General Manager Yu. It also gave him an in-depth understanding of how the older generation of senior intellectuals could even harm others without having a dirty word.
Qiao Yu was not angry, but he really aroused his desire to win and lose.
He is indeed not as clear as the specific engineering details like Yu Yanjiang, who has been working in aviation for almost a lifetime, but he has read a lot of relevant documents!
Especially after joining the lunar landing project, he read a lot of various documents within the project. Unless a lot of the lunar landing project is bragging!
Otherwise, Qiao Yu felt that the implementation of his space-based interception system would not be that difficult. At least it would not be more difficult than completing the moon landing project! So the two argued fiercely during the meal.
But when he arrived in the conference room, Qiao Yu suddenly felt that he was really idle.
I was in trouble and put a big shackle on myself.
After this argument, he successfully convinced Yu Yanjiang that this project was completely bound to him.
Qiao Yu even suspected that even if he was so young, he would be assigned a commander-in-chief position.
Although he had never done this position, he had really seen Pig Run.
Judging from Yu Yanjiang's daily life, you can know how much pressure this position has to bear and how much things will be done every day.
In other words, once it is bound to this project, at least before the phased goals are achieved, he will probably live a dark life like other engineers.
And he can't just be responsible for the general direction.
After all, a large part of his space-based defense theory is based on quantum computing and quantum communication. He must be personally responsible for this.
This also involves the design of a complete set of quantum communication protocols and AGI intelligent technology based on quantum computing.
It is unreliable to rely solely on human operations to operate the 24-hour real-time space situational awareness and the ability to respond to critical moments.
After the missile was launched, the window for the system to respond was not long. When someone made a decision, the daylily became cold.
If he has to deal with these things one by one, don’t experience the wonderful university life and sweet love.
He was afraid that like Senior Brother Liu Hao who was working on materials, he would devote his best youth to laboratories and engineering projects.
Thinking of Senior Brother Liu Hao's bumpy acne, Qiao Yu suddenly couldn't help but shivered, and then complained: "It's all Microsoft's fault!"
If Microsoft hadn't suddenly released a so-called quantum chip, it would not have taken the initiative to find three cryptocurrency exchanges to conduct quantum security testing.
If they don’t do this test, their quantum simulation calculations will be Schrödinger’s quantum hegemony on the global financial system. No one can be sure of how much they can do, and naturally they will not cause such a big reaction from the other side.
The opponent did not have such a violent reaction, and of course he would not have thought of such an incident...
So Microsoft is really full! Everyone signs a contract to make a small profit. After those people are sent, they will spend a while to stay and kick back if they are not suitable.
Isn't it good for you to cooperate well for you? I just want to choose to fight...
Just after the door was opened downstairs and people were allowed to enter, the professors who had arrived in the corridor outside the conference room heard Qiao Yu's swearing complaint and couldn't help but look at each other.
Everyone paid attention to Qiao Yu's live broadcast in the morning. Everyone was afraid that this live broadcast would affect the project team's admission meeting in the afternoon.
The result can only be said to be quite good.
So what are you complaining about?
Chapter completed!
