Chapter 722
Zhou Buqi and Zhang Yiming had discussed this matter before.
The original solution proposed by Yiming was to temporarily let Cheng Binghao concurrently serve as the CTO and the dean of the Academy of Engineering. After Shen Xiangyang joined the job, he would be made the dean of the two academies.
In comparison, Xu Liangjie's method is better.
He temporarily acts as the chief technology officer and is responsible for overall coordination and sorting out the cooperative relationship between Ziweixing's technical department and the engineering institute in the early stages of business innovation.
He is the senior vice president in charge of business, a senior technical expert, and the chief engineer of the company's "big R&D, small skin" structural reform.
The operation of this matter really belongs to him.
The only trouble is how to communicate with Cheng Binghao?
A good CTO was dismissed.
The next day, Zhou Buqi called He Yang, Wang Haoyang, Zhang Yiming, Wang Xing, and Han Leshui over and told them about the matter.
Everyone's views are basically positive.
If Ziweixing really wants to be the leader in the industry and boldly implement the organizational form of "big R&D, small skin", this arrangement is undoubtedly the best.
"In that case, it's settled! Let Cheng Binghao be the dean and Xu Liangjie be the CTO!"
Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhou Buqi responded decisively.
Professor Han Lexui is a management expert. He doesn't know much about technology and is a scholar-type theorist. He suddenly said: "I think we should have a more cautious naming in this matter. The name 'Big R&D, Small Skin' , was originally thought up by Xu Liangjie as he patted his forehead. It may be easier for technicians to understand. For laymen, such a name is a bit nondescript."
Wang Xing was slightly surprised, "Change your name?"
"right."
"What to change?"
"this……"
Han Leshui became embarrassed.
Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I have an idea, please refer to it. For Internet companies, it is mainly the front-end and back-end architecture. The front-end is the front-end, which is the application layer that directly interacts with end users. The back-end is the back-end. , but the end users cannot perceive it. It mainly stores and processes the core data of the enterprise."
Zhang Yiming said: "Friends.com's webpage is the frontend. Friendship.com's database is the backend."
Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, that's what it means. The Internet is developing too fast, and it needs constant iteration and innovation to satisfy netizens' online pleasure. This change belongs to the front end. The backend is different. Therefore, stability is the most important thing in adapting to changes. The front-end and back-end are in conflict. Front-end engineers and back-end engineers often have differences."
"Um."
"Why not set up a buffer zone between the front desk and the back desk? For example, set up a middle desk!"
"Middle platform?"
Everyone's eyes lit up with such a concept.
I immediately thought of the concept of "big research and development, small skin".
The front desk needs to constantly change and innovate to cope with the rapid development of the Internet. If you want to change quickly, you must be small and flexible.
The boat is small enough to turn around.
This is the concept of "small skin".
"Big R&D" means to allocate a lot of R&D work in the front desk. Help the front desk lose weight and turn it into a flexible and light athlete.
Judging from the results, this "big research and development" is part of China Taiwan.
Zhou Buqi said: "The management of an enterprise is the process of resolving conflicts. The contradiction between the front office and the back office is very prominent. Some engineers from the front office and the back office can be transferred to form a middle office. Through a large middle office, the front office and the back office can be formed. The progressive relationship between middle and last.”
He Yang said: "If this is the case, this middle office is not just the R&D department. Many front-end business departments can be integrated into the middle office. For example, can the advertising departments of each business group be integrated through the middle office? When acquiring new information,
On the user side, the data of each business group can be integrated through the middle office, and then summarized and analyzed, and a set of best models for attracting new customers can be summarized. The front office is responsible for finding the direction, and the middle office provides firepower support."
Professor Han Lexui clapped his hands and said, "This is a good metaphor. I think this can be best explained through traditional warfare and modern warfare."
"oh?"
"Traditional warfare involves land, sea and air forces running in parallel, with running and tank coordination. For example, when looking for a target in a vast no-man's land, the traditional method is to move forward with a large force in full force. Artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles are all indispensable. It requires a large number of
A mighty one
A large force cannot attack separately, otherwise coordination will not work well. If you want to find enemy targets in a huge no-man's land, you need to constantly search for them. The process is very bumpy and frustrating. For example, in the Vietnam War, the Americans
I can’t even fight anymore.”
Everyone nodded.
If the market is compared to a no-man's land, then the correct direction for starting a business is to find enemies and find goals. If you destroy the enemies, you will succeed in starting a business.
But if the enemy can't be discovered, how can it be annihilated?
The company set up a large team with full staff, including R&D department, marketing department, finance department, human resources department... everything was included. However, it took a long time and nothing was accomplished. It was a waste of time.
In this case, even the powerful US military could not annihilate the Vietnamese army.
Han Lexui continued: "But when we look at the subsequent US military operations, the tactics have changed. Instead of a large force with all the troops, we have a number of special forces teams. Each team may only have a dozen people. Each person only carries
With the necessary guns and ammunition, go deep into no-man's land and work separately to find the target. Once you find the target, there is no need to fire on the battlefield in person."
Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, you only need to send a signal to the aircraft carrier battle group at the rear. Then, the aircraft carrier battle group will take off the bombers, and the cruise missiles will come roaring. Under the intensive artillery fire, the larger the enemy, the larger the enemy.
, the more you have nowhere to hide."
Han Le Shuidao: "That's right! The mainland United States is the backstage. The aircraft carrier battle group staying on the sea is the middle stage. It is the output point of the largest firepower and the mainstay of the success or failure of the war. The small group of special forces exploring in the front is the front stage.
.The front stage searches for targets, the middle stage provides artillery fire, and the back stage provides logistics."
After saying this, everyone suddenly became enlightened.
Large companies have the benefits of large companies and have resource advantages that are countless times more powerful than startups.
This is artillery fire!
Large companies don't need to be like startups, where everyone goes out hand in hand to search for targets. They only need to send out a few elite teams to find targets.
Once you have found your target, there is no need to be like a start-up company where everyone rushes in wave after wave to seize the position.
Large companies only need to pass the news to the middle office through the front office team, and the middle office will pool all the company's resources to fire the cannon fire from a distance. No tug-of-war is required.
With full coverage of firepower in a short period of time, all enemies in the position can be wiped out.
Then, the front-end team just goes to take over the territory with their heads held high.
The large company has successfully developed a new business.
It’s 10,000 times easier than starting a business.
But in the traditional model, even large companies have to be like start-up companies, with full staff, coordinated attacks with tanks and tanks, and after finding the target, go into battle and fight in person.
Even if we win, the speed will be slow and the efficiency will be low. It is far inferior to bombers taking off from an aircraft carrier to attack, and far inferior to the precise strike of Tomahawk missiles. It has few casualties, is fast, and takes it by surprise.
Micropoint Antivirus easily defeated 360 Antivirus, which actually has the flavor of a China-Taiwan strategy.
Seizing the point of "Panda Burning Incense", Ziweixing activated all its group resources. In addition to its own resources, it also had fire support from alliances such as Baidu, Tianya, Maopu, Sohu, and Taobao Forum.
The artillery fire covered the entire area and directly destroyed the panda burning incense.
Coincidentally, 360 Antivirus was also attacking Panda Burning Incense at that time, and it was also on that territory. Ziweixing's artillery fire was densely covered, and both Panda Burning Incense and 360 Antivirus were eliminated without distinction.
Having a theory is equivalent to having faith, and you can move forward boldly within this theoretical framework. Without a theory, no matter how fast you move, your heart will be empty and you will feel uneasy.
After such communication, the new corporate organizational structure theory was basically perfected. Zhou Buqi was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Big middle office, small front office. Maybe this name is more Internet-like."
Han Leshui said: "In fact, there is a model of 'big middle stage, small front desk'. It is the core system of producers in Hollywood. What is the front desk? It is an idea of the producer or the boss of the film company. Under this idea, it is
You can find directors, screenwriters, actors, service providers and project funds to make this movie. Creativity comes first, the process is standardized, and the technology is standardized."
"That's great! The big middle stage and the small front desk make people excited!" He Yang sighed, then changed the subject and said very carefully: "However, this change is too big, so we must not be rash.
The development situation of Ziweixing is optimistic, and we can only make fine adjustments, not big changes."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Of course, it's just like a football match. You won't win without changing your formation. Even if the lineup needs to be updated and replaced, you have to change positions one by one. Take your time. Only in the case of a losing streak.
There will be a major change of players and coaches next time."
He Yang couldn't laugh or cry, "You didn't kick the ball in vain!"
"Then I have to go play football this weekend."
"Then what do you mean by 'big middle desk, small front desk'?"
"We are arguing among the top management and don't pass it down. Let's go to the Academy of Engineering first to centralize some high-end technologies."
"Well, we will start with high-end technology, and then slowly integrate some mid-to-low-end R&D projects. Then we will complete the operation department step by step. It is better to be slower than too hasty. This reform is decisive.
Yes, take your time."
Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Okay! That's it! Professor Han, go back and study the Zhongtai theory in depth. Theory is the soul, belief, and values. We can't be vegetative people who can only do things but have no ideas.
.Thoughts attract top talent more than bread.”
"What about Cheng Binghao?"
