Chapter 469 Executor≠CEO

Steve Ballmer played a trick with the two of them. To be honest, Yang Cheng didn't expect at all, when did this world-renowned CEO change his gender?

Looking at his temperament and disposition in his work for so many years, he is quite old-fashioned. Since January 2000, this American with Jewish ancestry, who had received a scholarship from the Harvard Department of Mathematics, was acquired from the hands of the richest man Bill Gates. After taking over the scepter, he began his 14-year career at the helm of Microsoft.

If ever-increasing sales performance is the measure of a CEO, Ballmer is undoubtedly the leader.

During his tenure, not only presided over the launch of Xbox and Kinect, but also decided to acquire Skype and Microsoft. More importantly, Microsoft’s annual sales tripled, and its annual profit soared from $9 billion to $22 billion. ——In short, this is indeed a report card that is so beautiful that it makes people tremble.

And if Microsoft's goal is to refresh sales data day after day, year after year, then Ballmer is undoubtedly an irreproachable CEO;

But if Microsoft’s goal is to become an evergreen tree in the industry, then almost anyone can say: Ballmer is not qualified as CEO. This is the consensus of Wall Street on him, even if Yang Cheng knows Steve Ballmer. Not many, but during various banquet chats, those financiers who hold shares in Microsoft will show their disapproval, even contempt for Steve Ballmer in their words!

Because he obtained a surge in short-term performance at the expense of long-term interests.

Again and again, he caused Microsoft to lose many opportunities that could have been seized. In the end, Microsoft gained a five-game losing streak:

In the field of search, it lost to Google;

In smartphones, it lost out to Apple;

In the field of mobile operating systems, it is overwhelmed by both Google and Apple;

In the field of media development, it also lost to Apple;

In cloud technology, it loses ground to Amazon

Among them, the failure of Microsoft in the mobile operating system is the most embarrassing. You must know that at the end of the 20th century, or even just entering the 21st century, Microsoft actually controlled 95% of the global market in the PC operating system industry. Share, Hongguoguo's global monopoly!

However, in just 15 years, the number of smartphones in the world has reached 2 billion, while Microsoft only has a 1% market share in the operating system of such devices. What is the reason why a smart CEO actually made his company lose in the above five extremely important areas?

Of course, it cannot be denied that there is a reason for Microsoft’s internal power struggle. Steve Ballmer has never been able to get the approval and full support of the board of directors.

However, Yang Cheng believes that a good executive ≠ a real CEO

Microsoft has never been short of smart engineers. In terms of ability alone, it can be equally as good as its competitors in any of the above five areas. The problem is that Steve Ballmer's own personality, whenever he proposes When the plan was rejected by the board of directors, he would choose to give up in a fit of anger, and then regain his old roots, as if holding his breath and showing a beautiful report card to the board of directors and shareholders, see? My grades are good, right? What else can you say?

In this way, excellent fighters were delayed by various reasons, Microsoft missed the best 14 years, and Steve Ballmer could only step down in the end, bought the Clippers, and enjoyed it The name of life, change the venue to vent his depression of the past 14 years!

"Steve, Deron Williams is in a good state, right? With his ability and current style of play, he fits well with the Clippers' tactics, and can better liberate young people, and won't let the Clippers To become a team that relies entirely on Paul, and once Paul gets injured, the Clippers immediately fall from the first line to the third line, which is not what a mature team should have."

Yang Cheng pointed to the huge LCD TV and said.

The second half of the game has already started. Unlike the hurricane rush in the first half, the Nets seem to have changed teams at this time, returning to the familiar positional battle again, and attacking according to tactics. It can be seen that Deron Williams and Joe Johnson tried to get back to the state of the first half, but they were powerless. After all, they were old and could no longer run around the court like they did when they were young. They wished to play two overtimes in each game to consume Lose energy.

So what he said just now was pure nonsense.

Steve Ballmer jumped up and cheered to the court because of the alley-oop just now, sat back on the sofa, and said with a half-smile, "Deron Williams is really good, you don't think he is combined with Chris Paul When they come together, will there be a wonderful chemical reaction?"

"Well, although I don't know much about basketball, both of them are co-branded top-level vacancies. They both need the ball in their hands to exert their strength and drive the team to perform. The reverse effect may not be certain." Konrad Koch took a sip of wine and responded meaningfully.

"Hehe, I just said that on a whim, don't take it seriously." Steve Ballmer waved his hand and said that he was joking. As for whether he was really joking, only he himself knows, while Yang Cheng and Yang Cheng Seriously, this old guy not only doesn't want to trade Chris Paul, but also thinks about empty-handed white wolf and trapping Deron, which is not the case in daydream.

Yang Cheng snorted in his heart, but continued to persuade, "I heard that Coach Doug Rivers is very dissatisfied with Chris Paul because he hindered his son's development path."

Konrad Koch cooperated, "Isn't it? I've also heard this rumor. Discord between generals is a taboo for military strategists! Steve, you should make a quick decision and cut the mess quickly, otherwise the longer it takes, the more poisonous the team will be." The bigger the sore, the more it will get out of control in the end, and it’s too late to regret.”

The two of you were quite naive, and what you said to me revealed a meaning inside and outside the words, trade Paul to us, keep him and you will never want to win the O'Brien Cup.

At this time, the situation on the court changed suddenly. Although the veterans of the Nets were able to take a breath after the halftime break, their physical strength did not recover much. Under the Clippers' specially accelerated offensive, they slowly couldn't keep up , The lead of 17 points disappeared in an instant.

In the fourth quarter, the two teams were in a stalemate, and the score of 99:99 lasted for a while. It could be felt that the two veterans were holding on with the main lineup, but time is not forgiving. The youth storm played to the extreme, throwing three three-pointers in a row, and suddenly widened the gap.

And this last breath did not last, the Nets collapsed completely, and finally lost with a score of 110:117, but the veterans did not die. With this game, several veterans won the respect of Yang Cheng and Konrad Koch.
