Wait, eighty times?
voice-verified
Let's do the math on that because the financial leverage there is just wild.
voice-verified
If rivals are turning inventory maybe ten to twenty times a year.
voice-verified
Dell turning it eighty times means they're holding parts for just a few days.
voice-verified
They are operating with what analysts call negative working capital, right?
voice-verified
So they were essentially using their customers and suppliers to fund their own operations for free.
voice-verified
That is insane.
voice-verified
So they just starved them out.
voice-verified
Now, contrast Dell's hyper-realistic grip on their supply chain with uh what happened at Lucent Technologies under their CEO Richard McGinn.
voice-verified
Right.
voice-verified
McGinn was promising Wall Street these dazzling, unbelievable revenue growth numbers during the telecom bubble.
voice-verified
When the whole world was moving to the internet.
voice-verified
They knew they didn't have the hardware.
voice-verified
But McGinn just handed down these massive arbitrary stretch bowls.
voice-verified
He essentially said, I don't care how you do it, just hit the revenue numbers.
voice-verified
And that disconnect creates catastrophic behavior, doesn't it?
voice-verified
Just giving the stuff away to make the spreadsheet look good.
voice-verified
Regardless of whether there was an actual end buyer.
voice-verified
Wow, they built a house of cards just to protect a bold strategy.
voice-verified
So if leaders like McGinn are so completely disconnected from reality, who is actually supposed to run this, you know, this execution engine?
