Dongfang Micropoint has returned to calm.

We are working on two products: Micropoint Security Guard and Micropoint Antivirus.

In comparison, Micropoint Security Guard is easier to develop.

The person in charge of the project is Wu Hanqing. This is a process from 0 to 1. It turns out that those at Oriental Micropoint did not understand the market positioning of this product at all and lacked relevant experience.

Therefore, the development of Security Guard is basically done as Wu Hanqing says.

Micropoint antivirus is a bit troublesome.

This product has already taken shape.

As long as you get the sales license, you can put it on the market directly.

As a result, after the company was sold, the big boss said that in addition to retaining the active defense core technology of "simultaneous monitoring and dynamic protection", Micropoint Antivirus must be completely rectified from top to bottom in other aspects.

This encountered huge resistance.

A mature product developed by a mature team was rejected internally before it was launched on the market? Or was it rejected by a group of young layman college students?

It’s really outrageous!

It is okay to implement a free anti-virus model. Anyway, the company belongs to the big boss. It has nothing to do with you whether it is losing money or making a profit. However, Micropoint Anti-Virus is the hard work of all colleagues. Micro-adjustment is okay, but it cannot be completely denied. All you need to do is cancel the paid function.

Just open all the permissions.

Therefore, Ji Zian has a headache now.

Almost every one of his rectification opinions on Micropoint Antivirus has encountered huge implementation resistance. Although Liu Yu and others have sold their shares, their influence is huge.

Seeing Zhou Buqi's arrival, Ji Zian complained repeatedly, saying that company management was too difficult and that it would be easier to manage college students in a milk tea shop.

Zhou Buqi sneered twice, "Do you understand this time? Just tell me, should all those people be fired? It's easy to occupy the latrine and not let others do it. The key is to occupy the latrine and not let others do it.

Shit, this is such a bastard."

Ji Zian couldn't bear to listen, and said bitterly: "Boss Zhou, please hold a meeting quickly and talk to that group of people. The resistance on my side is too great. I thought that Weidian Antivirus was just for rectification. It should be

It can be done quickly and then launched into the market. With the current efficiency, it will be good if the rectification can be completed before the end of the year."

"You are the general manager, what about your decision-making power?"

"I can make decisions, but I can't handle the constant objections of one or two people? You come today, he comes tomorrow, and then the whole team comes together. They think they have been in the anti-software industry for many years and understand users.

Understand the market. Our understanding of the market and users is all about words and tricks."

Zhou Buqi laughed angrily, "They know nothing! There is no user experience at all when making software, and people with no computer knowledge don't know how to use it. The operation is so complicated, do they seem to be quite capable? This kind of software,

How to promote it on a large scale? The convenience and smoothness of operation are not as good as those rogue software."

Ji Zian was convinced and said: "Yes, during this period I have gained a thorough understanding of the anti-virus industry. Basically, except for Kingsoft Antivirus, other anti-virus software are too cumbersome."

Zhou Buqi said: "So, a new position will be created in the company, product manager."

"Product manager?"

"Yes, there is a gap between ordinary users and developers, and the application and understanding of the product are not at the same level. This is the huge contradiction between the marketing department and the technology department. The marketing department understands the market, but does not understand technology, technology

Most people understand technology, but they don’t understand the market. In the middle, product managers are needed as a bridge.”

Ji Zian slowly thought about his words.

Zhou Buqi continued: "Product managers must understand technology, know technical trends and implementation difficulties, in case the marketing department puts forward some unachievable technical requirements. At the same time, they must also understand marketing and be able to cooperate with the marketing department.

User feedback is implemented. If viewed in percentage terms, the product manager must have 35% project management capabilities, 15% personal leadership charisma, 20% market business capabilities, 15% R&D technical capabilities, and 15% communication and

Ability to handle conflict.”

Ji Zian is young, how can he know this?

With his negligible knowledge of the Internet, in his impression, no Internet company seems to have added the position of product manager.

Not only domestically, but also abroad.

This is usually a position that arises when some traditional world giant companies have to deal with extremely complex internal management.

The internal management of Internet companies is clear and clear, and this position is not needed.

He quickly took a pen to record.

Zhou Buqi added: "In product management, the product manager is the leader, the coordinator, and the instigator. As a product manager, although he has great power over product development itself, he can control all stages of the product life cycle.

He intervenes in his work, but from an administrative point of view, he does not have his own subordinates like a general manager, but he has to mobilize a lot of resources to do things."

Ji Zian thought slowly and said, "So, this is a position that extremely tests your emotional intelligence."

"Absolutely." Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "If product development is regarded as a rowing sport, then the person at the front who beats the drum and shouts is the product manager. He himself does not row, but he must encourage every participant to do their best.

Strength must be well coordinated, and their strength must be used in one place. He must also ensure that everyone is moving in the same direction and knows which direction to go. There cannot be a situation where someone uses the wrong force."

Among foreign giant companies, the position of product manager is still relatively common.

However, it is not popular in China, especially Internet companies, which pursue flat minimalist management, with as few levels as possible.

Later, Zhou Hongyi from 360 discovered that the anti-virus software on the market was too fucked up and too anti-human.

In order to launch an anti-virus software that is in line with the market and suitable for everyone to popularize, the position of product manager was added.

The effect is excellent.

Made an excellent start.

Since then, other IT companies have followed suit and added product manager positions one after another. China Internet can be said to have surpassed the United States in terms of product application.

Especially in the mobile Internet era.

The products developed by American Internet companies have high technical content, but the experience of using them is not very good.

Comparing similar products in China and the United States, China's Internet products may not have high technical content, but the user experience is absolutely explosive. Foreigners can easily get started and use them when traveling.

But the products in the United States are different. You still have the traditional thinking. If you travel to a foreign country, you will be confused by the software apps there, including flagship apps like Facebook, which are bloated, confusing, and messy.

Use Alibaba Cloud, and laymen can easily get started; try Google Cloud, and industry veterans are confused.

"If we sharpen our guns before the battle, we may not be able to speed up the improvement of micro-spot anti-virus, right?" Ji Zian was still worried.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Of course, I just want to give you a management idea. There are some things that are inconvenient for you as the general manager, so you can let the product manager take the lead. But now..."

"Do you have a good idea?"

"The fundamental reason is that Liu Yu and the others have huge control over the original team and must divide them. In this way, you arrange to slow down the rectification process of micro-point antivirus and select elite forces to join Wu Hanqing's project team to be security guards."

"Ah? Is this okay?"

"Why not? We have a legitimate reason. The rogue software on the market is too fucked up. Our products must be launched as soon as possible to purify the market environment! This is the strategy and the company's values!"

Ji Zian fell into deep thought, already considering the consequences of such an arrangement and the possible dilemmas that might arise.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "You still lack confidence. Don't worry, our micro-point security guard will definitely ignite the market once it goes online! People in the world have been suffering from rogue software for a long time! With this huge success, you...

The authority of the general manager will be there. And most of those people have participated in the development of Micropoint Security Guard, so they will have the same honor and respect, and a good relationship will be established."

Ji Zian nodded, "Okay."

Then, Zhou Buqi became serious and said in a deep voice: "Zian, these two products of Oriental Micropoint are of great significance. They are tools for us to occupy the PC side. I will give you one month. Within one month, our Micropoint

Point Security Guards must be online. We have to catch up with the beginning of the semester. This is a gift to college students across the country. During this period, whether you work overtime or work hard, you can bring the team together and complete the project."

"I'm just afraid..."

"No explanation! If Liu Yu dares to cause trouble, even if you quarrel and slap the table, show your power as the general manager!"

"Okay, I get it."

Ji Zian took a deep breath.

The pressure is so great.

Zhou Buqi nodded lightly and sighed, "Dongfang Weidian is a small company now, with less than 60 employees in total. I can still help you with ideas. When these two products are launched, they will definitely become big.

By then, I’m afraid I won’t be able to deal with such a big situation. From a management perspective, we are all laymen. You are the general manager, which is equivalent to the CEO. You have to find a way to recruit a president who is good at management.

Or chief operating officer."

When Ji Zian mentioned this, he smiled and said: "That's a coincidence. I was in contact recently. I have a senior who is the vice president of finance at Sina. There has been a fierce power struggle within Sina recently. He seems to

Lost ground."

Zhou Buqi didn't like poaching people from big companies, so he paused and decided to support him, "If you think it's okay, then give it a try."

"He asked for an annual salary of 1.5 million." Ji Zian smiled bitterly, "Now the total annual salary of Dongfang Weidian is only about 3.5 million. When he comes, he alone accounts for 30% of the total salary."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Money is not a problem! You can handle this matter. No matter what, you find a way to make two products, Weidian Security Guard and Weidian Antivirus, in the shortest possible time, and then stabilize the company."
Chapter completed!
