Chapter 401: Zhu Ke wants to eliminate dissidents

The next day.

"Chairman, what are you doing with me?"

The day after Zhu Ke took office as chairman of McAfee (Antivirus), he invited William Kwell, the company's shareholder, to discuss in detail.

"William, if I remember correctly, you are also one of the founders of McAfee." Zhu Wen asked.

"Yes."

William Kwell nodded. There is nothing to hide. You can tell at a glance.

Since the founding of McAfee Company in 1987, William Kwell has been the veteran of the company and has invested extremely boldly all his net worth of $300,000. He also served as McAfee's first director of design department.

It can be said that William Kwell made great contributions to McAfee.

However, what is the result?

In 1996, William Kwell lost to former chairman Samuuk in an internal struggle, and all management positions were lifted, leaving only one shareholder seat.

His resentment towards former chairman Samuuk cannot be finished in a day or two.

"I'm here to ask you if you are interested in re-employment as the director of the design department?" Zhu Ke said with a smile.

"You're serious?!"

Suddenly, William was extremely excited.

"Of course, you, William Kwell, are a talent. You stepped down in 1996. However, in recent years, which one of the development concepts of McAfee's antivirus software did not follow your own?" Zucker exclaimed loudly.

Upon hearing this, William Kwell immediately felt proud.

In fact, former chairman Samuuk is indeed a courageous guy. After all, he will still run for the President of the United States in the future, and it has outstanding advantages in the management of companies and enterprises.

but...

Speaking of McAfee's core competitiveness in the antivirus field, William Kwell, the loser, is the talent in this field!

Zhu Ke asked again: "How is it? Should you retake the position of director of the design department and R&D department, please give me a good word!"

"Of course I agree. Only a fool would not agree. I dreamed of this day." William Kwell was so excited at this moment.

Not long.

After Zucker interviewed William Kwell, he also interviewed the company's vice president Dale Fowler.

When it comes to McAfee (antivirus) software, the first thing many people think of is George Samenuk, the former chairman, but the person who really makes McAfee (antivirus) software one of the world's largest antivirus software is Dale Fowler.

In 2006, American regulators filed a lawsuit in federal state court, accusing McAfee of equity awards, which involved serious violations.

Violations and illegally involved in the case amount is as high as 100 million to 150 million US dollars.

In the end, after three months of investigation and evidence collection, McAfee's serious violations in equity rewards were thoroughly confirmed.

Company President Kevi Wies was fired;

The company's chairman George Samenuk was forced to retire early;

In just one week, more than 10 executives of McAfee Company stepped down, with more than 50 people involved in the case.

McAfee's market value was cut by one-third, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

The person who brought McAfee out of the quagmire and headed for a more brilliant future is the Vice President Dale Fowler!
