So I would rather call this film a "luck drama", because the character's experience is unfortunate, not a comedy nor a tragedy Because they are not as good-looking at all. It is about Josh Hartnett, an e-company CEO named Tom who used to ride a hydrogen balloon in the technology stock sector. After 5 months of listing, he found that the stock price fell from 60 to 1 yuan. The company that once had a market value of more than 300 million is now only worth less than 90 million, and the company's idle employees also made a screen saver to count down when the cash flow was exhausted every day. And Tom is the president of a typical new technology company, young Powerful, powerful, open mouth to change the world, closed mouth to technological revolution, and the company's founding actually depends on another low-key talented designer. How? Sounds familiar, yes, do you think that only Steve Jobs is this kind of person ? This kind of role should have been developed long ago. How many CEOs are talking about new technologies and new trends all day long, but he himself doesn't know what a new technology is, and they all have a person behind them who is doing technological innovation. This talent truly represents the soul of a technology company. Of course, business leaders also have the value of business leaders, although they always shamelessly make everyone think they are technology leaders. This value may be their business vision, we buy this vision, then He became Jobs, and if he didn't buy it, he became Tom. Let's talk about why Tom didn't become Jobs.
Tom is really an irritable guy. My understanding is that his ego (can only use English because I can't find a Chinese word club that can accurately correspond to ego) is too sensitive. When it was 60 dollars, Tom was outspoken, and when it was 1 dollar, he was still In spite of the status quo of being locked up by the exchange, the company that helps them raise funds is scolded, and they don't even hold one. This is Tom, 5 months is not long enough for him. During the adaptation period, I still think that my Lu Shark is still the trendy company that holds the future technology, and it is in an irreplaceable position. Some of these companies that made offers to them repented halfway because they saw that the market was too bad, and some Offered to buy enough equity to sit on the board. Tom eventually couldn't tolerate the idea of someone else getting involved in his company, and he yelled at the CFO who advocated it. We smelled the familiar end of the road from his wild profanity. I think that The CFO even smelled it himself. But he couldn't tolerate and accept the reality that Lu Shark was no longer the Lu Shark. What is the barrier between indulging in the dream and recognizing the reality? The premature great success only did two things to Tom : Misunderstood this society, nurtured his ego. This damned Ego even made him unable to get the comfort he deserved at dinner with his family, because he was inexplicably provoked within 3 sentences.
[August] Actually just The second half of Tom's whole story about his Land Shark Company, the first half (should be named [March], that's when he was in his prime) was omitted by default, so if you don't have an imagination about March Looking at [August], some plots are hard to understand. For example, why his CFO always doesn't believe him, his younger brother, the engineer behind a successful business leader, why doesn't he always ignore him, and every time no matter how much Tom does On this occasion, he expressed his sincere acceptance to his younger brother, and his younger brother was as indifferent as a rock.
In all fairness, Tom's speech is very convincing. But this skill, which his CFO called a smoky mirror, must have worked well in March, but now everyone has thoroughly understood the set. The brother's thing happened at the beginning of the business The younger brother should know the bottom line. He may start a company out of the need to repay the mortgage and buy milk powder. He is very clear about his position as an engineer. When others are ignorant by his brother's rhetoric, he may not dare to expect what will happen in the future. Of course, not everyone has the ability to do prospect descriptions, and now all management leadership courses have key teachings, Tom has this talent without a doubt, which led him to lead the team to the sunny March, but Obviously unable to lead the same team through August without any
problems, and reached the unlock period in September. If Tom is really a business liar who only encourages and sultries, it would be good, [August] is not a bad luck drama, it is a pity that he No, every sentence can be seen from his heart, based on a sincere belief in Lu Shark's great ambitions. Liars don't expect the same trick to be used in the same place forever and Tom is trapped in If you come to this place, you can't get out. This kind of dislocation is because Tom's SWOT analysis is not done well, and he does not recognize the real strengths and weaknesses. If he realizes that his specialness is only because of the S of Vision, And the decline of the company is entirely due to T, who is in a sluggish market. His ego doesn't need to be hurt so much. Quickly seize your own advantages and let it go up and down, just wait quietly. Jobs, who was fired from Apple in 1984, did this. Yes. It turned out to be useful later.
It's true that this ego kills people. It's not the first time I've seen its evil shadow. It makes people irritable, taciturn, difficult to get along with, and unable to be happy. Those who study psychology will know: it will make people detached from their true self. And Endless pain ensues, because all efforts and progress seem insignificant and futile compared to the already overpriced ego, and all failures and blows seem ridiculous and unreasonable. COO was very sorry for him. But it was actually the best and most timely treatment for him. He still had a chance to be Steve Jobs, at least when he was young gave him the opportunity to ask himself the question: Am I the one I thought I was? Me? Just like 9/11 also made many Americans realize that America is not the America they thought it was. The arrogant nation built on the bubble can't continue, let alone you, Tom.
