Chicago 1990 Chapter 1494: Black empire
'Palm has carried out drastic reforms to IBM's original PC department after the completion of the acquisition. The super layoff plan will wipe out the Beimi manufacturing business of IBM's original PC department in a short time. Palm CEO Jeffrey Hawkins has always insisted on redesigning. Under the guidance of the light manufacturing route, with the exception of a few management and R&D employees who have been transferred to other new companies, at least one-third of the nearly 10,000 former IBM employees will be unemployed within this year...Most of them are front-line blue-collar workers. ’
‘All the manufacturing operations of the new Palm Group will be outsourced to East Asia foundry companies...being under the management of the supply chain department of former IBM and Sega employees, and senior Japanese-born Palm Ryutaro Yamamoto. ’
‘The original software department employees who have been criticized for IBM’s personal computer family bucket will also be integrated into Palm’s PDA, personal computers, mobile phone operating systems, software, online music stores and websites. Former Apple employee and current Beats president Donna Dubinski will concurrently serve as the manager of the software department and the executive director of the group company. ’
'The bloated management of the original IBM personal computer division has also been greatly streamlined. The former senior vice president and general manager of the IBM personal computer division Steven Ward will take over as the general manager and chief operating officer of the Palm Group, director of the group company, responsible for integration, Manage the various businesses of the two companies and the channel departments such as offline retail stores. At the same time, Ward will continue to manage the most important desktop and ThinkPad notebook computer departments. The Motorola A+ notebook computer brand, personnel and patents, which are a joint venture between Motorola and Palm Chairman APLUS, will also be absorbed by the department. ’
'In contrast, the hardware R&D department of IBM’s original PC department such as Yamato Labs has been almost completely retained, and management positions are mostly occupied by IBM staff. The former head of IBM R&D department, Dr. Su Zi, will be airborne to Palm Group as the chief The post of technical officer...'
On January 1, 2005, the merger and acquisition case that shook the global IT industry was settled under Song Ya’s personal management. Palm completed the snake swallowing elephant. The number of employees, sales scale, popularity, and influence have all increased by more than one. Steps.
Through the introduction of the IBM department, the actual power of Jeffrey Hawkins, Jean Louis Gasser, and Sean Fanning, who occupy the pit without shit, have also been greatly compressed. The positions and status are still there, but at least they can find people in their respective stalls. Help out.
Such a brutal layoff plan was naturally attacked by employees, labor unions, politicians, and the media. However, thanks to Song Ya’s strong political-business and media relations, Jeffrey Hawkins, the CEO of indulging in investment in brain-computer startups, came out again. Individuals are backing their heads, and this level should be able to pass through.
The so-called ‘save Palm campaign’ advocated by interested people has also become insignificant because of this super merger and acquisition case.
Due to the long-term losses of IBM’s original PC department, Palm only turned around with Treo650 mobile phones, second-generation Beats and music stores in fiscal year 2004. In addition, Palm took over IBM’s 600 million dollars in debt, and the burden became heavier. At the beginning, the capital market was not very optimistic that Palm, a pony, could successfully pull IBM's big car. After the merger was completed, IBM's stock price rose sharply while Palm plummeted.
It was not until the outside world recognized that the layoff plan could be implemented smoothly, that the market's response suddenly became enthusiastic.
"It seems that everyone knows where the real crux lies. Palm should be sought after by investors after the market resumes..."
Highland Park, the new leadership of Song Ya and New Palm, CEO Jeffrey Hawkins, COO Steven Ward, CTO Su Zi, Donna Dubinsky, Ryutaro Yamamoto and others met. On the eve of the stock price recovery, the atmosphere of the meeting very good.
"Dr. Su Zi, I heard that you and the founder of NV Company Huang Xun are relatives?"
Song Yawen just spent a lot of money to dig the technology and management talent, only five years older than her own former IBM Chinese-American female executive Dr. Su Zi.
"Yes, my grandfather is his mother's brother." Dr. Su Zi replied.
"Brother? Wow, then you are a generation shorter than him, you want to call him..."
"Aung Aung Aung!"
Song Ya was gossiping, and the door was pushed aside vigorously. A blonde girl with messy makeup rushed in and cried involuntarily, "I...I rushed again! APLUS...Awesome!"
Why is this scene so familiar! ?
"It's a meeting, Charis."
Song Ya asked her, "What? Did Alexander the Great have a bad box office?"
In order for Palm to merge with the IBMPC department, he was too busy to sleep during this time, did not have a good Christmas, and did not have the energy to pay attention to the movie box office.
"Alexander the Great was cut to pieces by the **** Warner Pictures! The global box office may...may not even be equal to the 155 million film production cost!"
She complained loudly: "Even the big director Oliver Stone can't stop him, he is furious at the release version!"
Okay! Like Hallie, it fell into Warner's hands.
The men present in the meeting reacted extremely in unison. They took the opportunity to look up and down the crying South African diamond and to fill in some of the other performance scenes in the movie Fifty Shades. The two women Su Zi and Donna also blinked curiously. Observe this first-line Hollywood star who has a close relationship with the billionaire boss so that he can directly break into the other's home.
"Warner is like this, let's go out first, and I'll talk about it after I finish the meeting."
Song Ya got up and half pushed her out: "Get out, boy...Where did we just say? By the way, the new advertisement..."
"APLUS is mad at IBM."
At the same time, Eisner also gave up his New Year’s holiday plan. There are only three months left before the next shareholder meeting. He must keep an eye on him at all times to prevent himself from falling off the wire rope, "I want this picture to appear in All media under Disney."
"It's the twentieth soon, the re-elected inauguration of the Georgian dynasty..."
Robert Iger looked at the picture of his finger.
In a parking lot of IBM, the white elites who had been layoffs were holding cardboard boxes and walking towards their cars. Many of them were middle-aged faces. Behind every dismissed position was a whole middle-class family, the whole family, and the young and old. Zhang Zhang's frustrated and confused faces look sad and sad against the backdrop of the glorious and historic American Pride: Blue Giant Logo.
"It's okay, just do it."
Eisner knew that Robert Iger, who belonged to Jobs’ camp, would certainly be happy to see, "That kid has a cruel heart. At least he can let some people in the company see his true face clearly. Don’t think that you can get anything in return for supporting him. It’s very likely. Like these people at IBM, he became a stepping stone to chase beautiful financial statements and was ruthlessly abandoned..."
"OK."
Robert Iger readily took the order, "Mr. Chairman." Before he left, he nodded and greeted the newly arrived chairman George Mitchell.
"Congratulations, Michael, I heard that Pixar Animation’s Cars will start as scheduled this summer. This is really good, and it’s also great news for our stock price."
