Second, this one product alone can generate at least tens of millions in annual profit.
A shrewd sales tactic: recruit a batch of contract engineers, have them submit resumes and interview at other companies, and use the interviews to pitch our own company's products (e.g., development tools or cloud computing).
Changing the standards is about favoring some, suppressing others, breaking up certain groups, and reorganizing them — but in the end, every strategy boils down to cutting costs and boosting output.

If someone insults you, it may be because they are foolish.
