Hastings didn't quite understand what Boss Zhou meant.

Isn’t it a good thing to have more talents?

With fewer positions and more talents, the company has more options. Under the market mechanism where supply exceeds demand, it can also greatly reduce labor salary expenses.

However, in actual operation, many accidents will always occur.

Especially Netflix’s seemingly advanced and loose management.

Zhou Buqi said: "China and India, the two most populous countries, have trained too many computer engineers. Of course, the level of most of them is not very high. But in the Internet industry, except for a few businesses, most businesses are not

What are the high-end technical requirements?”

Hastings frowned, "So what?"

Zhou Buqi said: "The performance appraisal management system of Netflix has very few requirements for employees. As long as employees complete the tasks assigned by the company, it can give employees the greatest freedom."

"That's right." Hastings nodded, "In my opinion, this is the real Silicon Valley culture that has been passed down, rather than what the outside world calls anti-Silicon Valley."

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "There are too many computer practitioners in China and India. This is a market where demand exceeds supply, and the number of jobs is far from meeting the market demand. There are two other points. Most Internet jobs require

The technology is not very high, and the salary in Silicon Valley is high enough.”

If an employee is in Silicon Valley and finds that his account is logged in to countries such as China and India, or that his collaborative office software is connected to China and India, this is a sure thing.

Technology giants such as Microsoft, Google, and Facebook are following suit and are trying to follow this more advanced management strategy full of respect.

Zhou Buqi was very happy and said with a smile: "Goodbye!"

Zhou Buqi went on to say: "Netflix wants to become a multinational streaming media platform, especially copyright operations. Silicon Valley has a geographical disadvantage. It might as well put the R&D center in Silicon Valley and the business center in New York. You can watch

Looking at Ziweixing Universal’s model, the film production companies are all in Los Angeles, but the distribution company’s headquarters is in New York.”

Therefore, many programmers at Twitter have engaged in this kind of outsourcing, outsourcing the work indicators issued by the company to programmers in China or India, and letting them work on their behalf.

Hastings looked solemn, "This is indeed an obvious flaw in Netflix's corporate system. I have never thought of this. This is too dangerous."

Then, many uninformed people were shocked.

"Impossible." Zhou Buqi waved his hand and completely stopped his thoughts, "From regulation to market, from copyright to the general environment, Netflix's model is not suitable."

Netflix does not have a free version. It is a streaming media platform that relies entirely on membership. The membership fee is too high and does not conform to the domestic habit of watching dramas for free.

But it’s not very good for Netflix’s loose management system.

Next, more and more shortcomings were exposed.

Transfer the work and just complete the assigned tasks anyway.

The reason why layoffs are so severe is that, in addition to strategic needs such as business restructuring, Twitter has been too deeply poisoned by Netflix’s culture.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I know you are worried, and I can tell you clearly that there is no need! When Hulu was first established, the first thing he did was to build a branch in our country, right next to the Ziweixing headquarters.

, in Tsinghua Science and Technology Park. Online collaborative working will be a major trend in the Internet industry, which is enough to solve most business needs. The remaining complex problems can be solved at Netflix headquarters."

The most typical example is Twitter.

Therefore, after acquiring Twitter, the first thing to do is to lay off a large number of employees and fire all the non-working vampires who are attached to Twitter.

Working 2 hours a day and earning 20,000 yuan a month, why not?

Therefore, many people usually make short videos at home, write public accounts, or open a milk tea shop, or find a stable and easy job in a state-owned enterprise, and use their free time to pick up an outsourcing job from the United States.

The entire Twitter was wiped out.

Hastings took a breath of surprise.

Zhou Buqi said: "R&D is enough. The online collaborative office model can break this spatial barrier. Hulu has been doing it for several years, and the effect is pretty good, isn't it? More core business content can be placed on

R&D center here in Silicon Valley.”

Most of the content on Netflix is ​​difficult to play in the country.

From a domestic perspective, the workload assigned to employees by American Internet companies is really too low!

For some programmers in China who are motivated and hardworking, the daily workload in the United States may only take them 2 hours to complete the task.

Deeply disgusted.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "This is a big crisis. At present... the point I am worried about has not happened yet, right?"

"Um."

For Netflix, you can shoot whatever you want, and hang it up as soon as you're done. It's available all over the world. This is not the case in China, where film and television works must be reviewed and approved before they can be released online.

Zhou Buqi said: "I don't know much about technology, but I also know that there are many loopholes in computer codes. If employees are not familiar with these codes, then when an emergency requires code rewriting or vulnerability repair,

There will be a crisis. There is a 12-hour time difference between China, India and the United States, which will definitely cause problems in the efficiency of emergency response."

Zhou Buqi said easily: "It doesn't matter, you know Youku, right? This is a company invested by Ziweixing. It has been listed in the United States and is now the streaming media platform with the highest market value in our country. From a technical point of view

, there are too many talents engaged in the streaming media industry in China, and you don’t need to worry about anything in terms of technology, products and business models.”

If the company's management is very strict and all employees are allowed to work in the company's office, this is actually easier to handle. They can be supervised in real time from both front and rear, and the team leader will also conduct regular inspections.

This is too dangerous.

Zhou Buqi heard the worry in his tone and reassured: "I didn't ask you to give up Netflix culture. Every system has its advantages and disadvantages. What Netflix needs to do is to take advantage of this system and

Find ways to close any loopholes that may arise.”

If you pay a lot, you can easily get an outsourcing fee of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Praise these people as technical experts.

Hastings took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There are more serious consequences. The company's employment is actually a process of cultivating talents. While employees can complete the work assigned by the company, their personal abilities, vision and

Industry awareness has grown. The cultivation of talents is the greater value."

"ah?"

They are so awesome!

As long as employees complete their work tasks, they can do whatever they want.

Hastings nodded, intending to implement this plan.

Hastings said: "Okay, then I will discuss with the team that it is necessary to transfer part of the business to China and open a branch."

As Netflix becomes more and more successful, Netflix culture is becoming more and more respected, and many professional books explaining Netflix culture have appeared on the market for Internet entrepreneurs around the world to learn from.

With the development of globalization, the emergence of digital office, and the increasing popularity of collaborative office software, more and more jobs can break the limitations of space and geography.

With the face of the big boss, India will automatically give up.

For Netflix, most jobs are actually not very technical. How much technical content can a video streaming platform have?

Then there is an opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.

Hastings was confused and still couldn't understand what this legendary boss meant.

Technology has created better office conditions for the world, and many people will take advantage of the new situation. This is definitely not okay. This is a gray product, and may even be illegal, and is suspected of leaking company secrets without authorization.

"hiss!"

Hastings pondered and said: "The direction of LBS is very popular now, so we can make some precautions based on this function."

Hastings asked: “The success of Netflix is ​​inseparable from the institutional advantages of Netflix’s culture, which helped Netflix find the most outstanding talents, allowing Netflix to compete with large companies for talents when it was very weak.

strength."

A work task issued in San Francisco can be synchronized in real time to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and then rely on the online collaborative office model to complete the collaborative cooperation that spans thousands of rivers and mountains from details to a code symbol modification.

The background has been laid out, and then it’s time to reveal the secret. Zhou Buqi said expressionlessly: “If I were a programmer at Netflix and my monthly salary was US$10,000. At this time, I could

Find an engineer in China and India, give him $2,000 a month, and ask him to complete all the tasks assigned by me."

It seems that I have never thought that the Internet industry can still play like this!

Hastings said: "If the platform cannot be launched online, then in the past when we opened branches, we could only do business research and development."

Kill two birds with one stone.

As everyone knows, these people may not have even written a line of code, and they have all been outsourced to "experts" in China and India to collaborate remotely and secretly.

Hastings heard what he meant and said in a deep voice: "Indeed, rather than letting individual employees transfer business, it is better to promote it at the company level."

In this way, employees can "outsource" their work to programmers in China and India, the two most populous countries. Because of the differences in national conditions and employment benefits, employees in the United States only need to spend part of their wages.

Such "outsourcing" work can be completed in a small part.

Zhou Buqi nodded, "I think this is not a serious problem for the time being. The online collaborative office market has just started. But Netflix must be careful. As long as this loophole exists, problems will definitely arise in the future. This is Mo

Fee’s Law.”

Hastings looked embarrassed and said: "Netflix...can Netflix launch a formal platform in China?"

Hastings said awkwardly: "But I don't have much contact with those streaming media platforms in China."

Yes, China and India are both populous countries, and they have cultivated too many computer talents.

You must start in advance and block it in advance.

As an employee of Netflix, he devotes almost no time and energy to the company, and all of it is outsourced.
