Chapter 598
In the next few days, Ye Qiu kept holding meetings with Eliza Moon, Shirley Sandberg, and the supervisors of various departments of Yezi Technology to discuss a series of matters about internal reforms of the company, especially reforms in management models.
A number of executives have basically expressed their affirmation of the problems that Ye Zi Technology may encounter in the future. After all, with the emergence of Ye Zi Technology's leading position in the smartphone market, as long as someone with a little knowledge, it is not difficult to see the potential problems of Ye Zi Technology in the future.
The executives basically gave positive answers to the reform of the management model. After all, Yezi Technology used to encourage innovation very much, but what Ye Qiu is doing now is to further flatten the company's management based on the past and further encourage employees to actively innovate according to their interests and hobbies.
But the details of the reform are a problem.
The two companies that are most talked about by the outside world in management are Amazon, which is known for its two-pizza culture.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos proposed the principle of two pizza, that is, during a meeting, the number of people cannot be as large as two pizza is not enough for them to be full, because he believes that the more people attending the meeting, the more people and the mixed people will be, it will be worse.
By the same token, when measuring the size of a team, they also use two pizza cakes as the measurement criteria, that is, when two pizza cakes cannot feed a project team, the team is too big and must be divided into two.
According to the serving size of two pizza, it is most suitable for a group of around six or seven people.
This is somewhat compulsory, and at the same time a bit too much or even stubborn, a deliberate move to pursue a small team. In fact, after several years of development, Amazon has indeed become one of the most important high-tech companies in the world, but in terms of innovation capabilities, it is not very eye-catching.
There is another company, Google. Google has always been a company that claims to be free to work, but in fact, this is a utopian dream that is simply impossible. Office politics, and battles between departments have become some important issues in Google's internal management.
So many people say that Google is no longer the startup company it was originally, but has become a bloated, staggering hierarchical organization. They encourage employees to innovate on the surface, but in fact, the areas related to their core business become very bureaucratic.
For example, aI1 company acquired by Google in 2005, is a mobile service provider that specializes in providing user-sending text information services to locate their locations. After being acquired by Google, on the one hand, it was mandatory to integrate the company's products into Google's internal basic structure, which made the company's services beyond recognition. Whenever they make a slight slight change in even extremely subtle functional changes, they need to go through several levels of leadership approval to complete.
The same situation also occurred in other companies acquired by Google. At the beginning of their acquisition, they were all good and good, but soon, the fate they faced was to be forced to integrate.
At the same time, Google's indifference to the value of talents is also famous. Otherwise, how could there be a joke that Page and Brin went out to sea on a yacht, lying on the deck, basking in the sun, smoking cigars, and holding photos of employees. He proudly said that someone is the general manager of a large multinational group with an NHA degree from Harvard University, but now he is working at Google at a low-level without any technical content.
This has to mention one principle of Google hiring people, that is, they only hire smart people because they encourage innovation.
Everyone knows that this is actually a distortion of concepts.
Of course, Google's salary is indeed very high and the company's treatment is also very good, but this does not mean that Google's internal management is good.
When Ye Qiu was in a meeting with company executives to negotiate, he repeatedly emphasized the value of talents and the further liberalization of company management, so that everyone can freely engage in various research according to their interests, but this does not mean that Ye Zi Technology is going to follow Amazon or Google's route.
In Ye Qiu's statement, Yezi Technology's management should still be based on the principle of moderation.
In other words, to further unleash the creativity of employees and give every player the right to freely decide what they want to do, but this needs to be based on a premise, that is, it does not affect their jobs and company development.
If everyone goes to something they are interested in, who will do the company's affairs?
Therefore, there must be a transparent and fair management model. After all, if you adopt too laissez-faire practices, you will eventually become lazy and everyone will become lazy. Therefore, the company needs to have a transparent and fair and just performance evaluation model and a moderate management model.
In Ye Qiu's idea, it is to give employees more freedom and self-arranged time, so that they can do what they like to do. The company provides maximum support for employee innovation, not only allowing you to do it during working hours, but also giving you resources and manpower and financial resources to help you do it, but more importantly, allowing you to make mistakes.
Any employee can freely choose to set up a research project that he is interested in or join other people's research projects after completing his or her job and the company arranges the project. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of employees to innovate, the company will also give employees some generous rewards based on the employees' inventions, creations and rewards it brings to the company.
But all of this is based on a complete set of basic management models of the company.
People in any place and country in the world are the same and need management, especially for a company with 20,000 employees. If management is lost, the company will completely collapse. Therefore, self-discipline and discipline must complement each other. Without discipline, there will be no freedom. This is the principle of moderate freedom conceived by Ye Qiu.
Another point is that Ye Qiu wants to build a management system that is completely open and transparent to everyone in the company, that is, who is punished, who is rewarded, as well as the progress of each project, the performance and contribution of each employee, etc., will appear on the internal management platform, and everyone can see clearly.
This is a big project, and everyone who attends this meeting knows, but if this big project is done well, it will further stimulate the creativity and innovation capabilities of Yezi Technology. You must know that Yezi Technology has become the most popular high-tech enterprise in the world in the past two years. Now that the reform of internal management will continue to further attract more talents and entrepreneurs to join. After all, they can get strong support within Yezi Technology that other large companies cannot provide.
However, there is actually a problem with Ye Qiu's promotion. This was raised by Eliza Moon and Shirley Sandberg after the meeting, that is, management.
To put it bluntly, the so-called principle of moderate freedom is the same as the moderate opening of the Android system. The reason why the Android system adopts moderate opening is because the ultimate core power is in the hands of Yezi Technology. Yezi Technology determines the future and destiny of the Android system, and other authorized providers cannot challenge this authority.
The same is true for moderate freedom. Management determines everything about the company. If the management is not good or there is a problem, the company's future will also face collapse, especially for Ye Qiu to set up a subsidiary with self-attack and subversion as its business purpose, which is too dangerous.
But Ye Qiu thought it very clearly that whether it is a moderately free personnel management model or self-attack, if you decentralize power, or disperse it, such as listing, or attracting some other shareholders, it is impossible to succeed, because whether it is listing or introducing shareholders, you must guarantee their interests, that is, to ensure the company's existing income and interests.
Microsoft cannot conduct self-attack innovations. The reason is very simple. Once this innovation appears, Microsoft shareholders are the first to shoot it because it will cause all the benefits they have gained from Microsoft to disappear. Who will give up such a large piece of fat?
Only when Yezi Technology is Ye Qiu's property can he do this, and he must ensure that the entire management of the company can implement his ideas and ideas, because this is a top-down guidance and reform.
Therefore, for the selection and appointment of management personnel, Ye Qiu appointed Eliza o Moon. He believed that the attitude of preferring to lack of money should be adopted to ensure that the company's internal reforms can continue.
When Ye Qiu triggered a vigorous wave of internal management reform for Ye Zi Technology, there was no news outside. No one knew that there was a major change happening inside Ye Zi Technology that will affect Ye Zi Technology in the next few decades. Everyone was just paying attention to the latest ultrabook released by Ye Zi Technology.
UU launched Zeus mobile phones in 2009 and tablets in 2009. Now 10 years ago, Yezi Technology has begun to release news. Next, the company will focus on launching a transformed touch ultrabook.
This product will use an Android system, with a very thin appearance and a screen larger than a tablet, reaching thirteen inches. This is also to further draw a line with tablets. After all, current tablets with peripherals also have some ultrabook functions, so the touch screen of Yezi Technology's ultrabook will be relatively large, and a larger screen may even be launched in the future.
Among the news released by Yezi Technology, the most popular one is the series of huge changes made by the Android system after entering the ultra-thin field, such as touch visualization, that is, when you click on the screen, a gray dot flashes, allowing you to clearly see which area you clicked on. This is very necessary for large-screen touch. Of course, users can also choose whether to choose whether to use this design.
Also, the screen displays a multi-tasking interface at the same time, which is the so-called windowing of the APp, so that you can do multiple things on the touch screen at the same time. These are obviously some measures to further pCfization of Android systems, and this has also proved to be a series of major innovations that Yezi Technology has challenged Microsoft.
There are also some small innovations, such as left and right direction keys appearing on the keyboard, which is to facilitate text input. After all, Yezi Technology also has its own Offt software, and it is also free.
Judging from the series of innovations announced by Yezi Technology, it is obvious that this ultrabook is positioned as a large-screen touch experience, rather than the P extension that Microsoft has been claiming for the past one or two years, because the latter will be dominated by Microsoft, while the former is Yezi Technology that has absolute initiative and advantages.
Therefore, when Yezi Technology's major innovation was announced, it immediately caused an uproar around the world. Almost everyone believes that as long as Yezi Technology launches ultrabooks, Microsoft will completely fail in the notebook field, because in Yezi Technology's promotion, ultrabooks will also be integrated with mobile phones and tablets, and can share applications and various resources in the Android store.
With this big weight and weapon, Ultra already has a foothold.
More importantly, the design of the ultrabook allows everyone to see a subversive innovation, that is, the screen interface adopts a tile mode similar to the NR in the previous life, with a flat design, while the appearance abandons the RFA design of Microsoft in the previous life that Ye Qiu had previously praised, and adopts a 180-degree flip design similar to the Dell Xp in the previous life, so that the ultrabook can switch back and forth on laptops and tablets.
This is also an internal decision by Yezi Technology. Originally, Ye Qiu planned to use the RFA appearance design, but another group of people made another design, but everyone thought that the latter one was better, so they adopted this design.
Although the 180-degree flip design is a bit similar to Dell, the entire laptop design is all written by Jonathan O'Ivey. The ultra-thin appearance is very beautiful, beautiful and natural, and the system is also very smooth, supporting the ten-point touch of both hands. This is also the new patented technology of Yezi Technology.
In addition to these major innovations that are enough to attract attention and attract consumers' appetites, Zeus Ultrabook is very satisfactory in terms of performance, smooth operation, touch sensitivity, etc. Next, Yezi Technology will announce these advantages one after another. CP Dam uses Intel's new architecture processor specially designed for Ultrabooks. There are also some patented technologies of Yezi Technology in terms of batteries to ensure battery life.
Although the price and parameters of Zeus Ultrabook have not been announced to the public in the end, after only a few major innovations have been announced, this new product has attracted great response and attention around the world. The hot sales of Zeus mobile phones and Zeus tablets have made this ultrabook a highly anticipated new product.
According to Yezi Technology's plan, this product will be officially launched in January 2011. In the next six months, Yezi Technology will also promote and market this new product and several other products that will also be launched in January 2011, striving to achieve simultaneous global launch.
When Ye Qiu was striking Yezi Technology's reform in the United States and charging for Microsoft, Manchester United won the second Champions League title in Ferguson's career at Inter Milan led by Mourinho at the Bernabeu Stadium.
With the end of the Champions League, the European transfer market has also begun to unfold in full swing, especially for some rich teams who are determined to introduce superstars, it is already too late to enter the transfer market.
After Manchester City fired Mark Hughes, Mancini took office for half a year and her performance was quite satisfactory, so the summer transfer will be carried out completely according to Mancini's wishes, and the Italian will transform the current Manchester City team's lineup.
On the defense, Mancini wants to introduce a left-back, while the midfielder wants to get Real Madrid's Van der Fate, Roma's De Rossi, and Aston Villa's outstanding performance last season. These are all hot top figures in the transfer market. On the forward line, Robinho is leaving, and Mancini is interested in Atletico of Madrid's Aguero.
With full plans, Manchester City's investment this season will continue, because it is said that Mancini promised the board of directors that as long as he continues to invest and introduces the players needed by the team, he will lead Manchester City to the top four in the league in the new season. After all, he led the team to the League Cup last season and started a good start.
In addition to Manchester City, West Ham United also plans to reorganize. Ranieli is not very satisfied with Berbatov and wants to introduce another powerful scorer. Those who consider Milito of Inter Milan, Higuain of Real Madrid, Villa of Valencia, and Aguero of Atletico Madrid, but the first choice is Tottenham Hotspur's number one scorer Falcao.
The Colombia center became the winner of the European Golden Boot Award last season and is the hottest top center in football today. It has received high interest from teams including Real Madrid, West Ham United, Newcastle, Liverpool, etc. However, Tottenham Hotspur has always refused to negotiate Falcao's transfer, repeatedly saying that the players are not selling products.
Originally, there was another center that attracted much attention, that is Liverpool's Torres, but with the entry of the Indian consortium and Benitez's stay, Liverpool also made every effort to retain Torres, and at the same time, they will use real money to further strengthen the team's lineup. It is said that Benitez has opened a transfer list, and his most valued frontcourt signings are David Silva of Tottenham Hotspur.
Espanyol was once the signing target of Benitez, but he rejected Liverpool at that time, but the situation is completely different now. Liverpool now has strong enough financial resources to form a more competitive team and lineup. In this case, Benitez's intention to poach David Silva again emerged.
There are also reports that Benitez wants to introduce Robinho from Manchester City, but the Brazil international has repeatedly expressed his unwillingness to stay in the UK. Once he can't defeat Robinho, he heard that Benitez will specialize in Robinho from Bayern Munich.
Another rich team in the Premier League, Newcastle, has launched a transfer budget of 200 million euros in the first year after returning to the Premier League under the leadership of the English coach Redknapp. The players who want to introduce include Drogba, Ibrahimovic, David Tsuya, Falcao and other superstars, striving to stay in the Premier League in the first season.
The rich people all aimed at Tottenham Hotspur, and the traditional giant teams such as Real Madrid were eyeing each other, which made Tottenham Hotspur fans guess, wondering if the team will bleed again this summer and whether it will affect the team's combat effectiveness.
In fact, after Ye Qiu returned to London from the United States, he issued instructions on the transfer operation of Peter Nean and was waiting for the price.
