Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 131 I didn’t become bald, but I became stronger
"Recently, after full discussion among the company's senior management and the final decision by Chairman Lei Jun, it was decided to promote Xiaomi co-founder and Internet Department Manager Chen Mo to vice president of the company, effective immediately.

Chen Mo joined Xiaomi on April 2010, 4 and led the third Internet department to achieve several achievements.
Later, he assisted the company in overcoming difficulties repeatedly, including but not limited to major outstanding contributions such as negotiations with Qualcomm, supply chain integration, and the finalization of Inventec's foundry.

Thank you Chen Mo for your outstanding contribution to the company! We look forward to Chen Mo leading Xiaomi to a higher level, driving the further development of the company's business, and helping the company achieve its vision and mission of "letting everyone enjoy the fun brought by technology"!
-
Xiaomi Human Resources Department

This shocked all members of the company. In just a few months, Chen Mo made a double jump and was promoted directly from department manager to vice president of the company, becoming equal to President Bin.

However, looking at Chen Mo's achievements described in the email, he is indeed worthy of this position.

This also indirectly shows that the company values ​​talents and is not restricted by any rules.

As long as you have the ability, the path to promotion is completely open, and you will have all the benefits and positions. Chen Mo is the best proof of this.

Especially Li Wanqiang, he actually planned to surrender, but before he could think of the words, he was promoted again within a month.
People go to higher places, but I flow to lower places. Who can I seek justice from?
After Chen Mo saw the email, he felt as if he was wearing a yellow robe. Is he second only to the person in the company?
However, after looking at the email about the national shareholding, he thought about it and called a meeting of all three departments.
"Everyone has just read the email. I guess you have a lot of questions. Please tell me and I will try my best to answer them."

"After the investment, am I considered a Xiaomi shareholder?" Zhang Chao, always a positive young man, was the first to raise his hand and ask the question.

"Why not? Next one."

"Will that be compensated?" Qi Mengmeng looked eager to try but also a little hesitant.

"It's like doing business. There are gains and losses. But everyone has worked at Xiaomi for so long. Do you have confidence in the projects and products you are working on?"

"Have!"

"Since I have confidence in my own ability, the quality of my products, and the prospects of Xiaomi, how can I lose money?"

"Well, can employees on probation invest?" Zhao Shuang raised his hand.

“You can’t use the trial period, but the email mentioned a three-month window period and a 1000 million financing amount. As long as the financing amount is not reached after three months, you still have a chance!”

Zhao Shuang nodded, feeling a little sad that he was unlucky and started working too late.

"Will the company's salary become 300 million or 3000 million after it goes public in the future?" asked Li Jianchao, who was hired as a full-time employee ahead of schedule after the WeChat project was successfully launched.

After all, the listing of Internet companies such as BAT has created many billionaires, which is not without precedent.

Wow~~~~~Everyone is in awe
"It's not impossible. Think of it this way. It's just like buying a lottery ticket. If you lose, you lose. But if you win, you can earn several times or even dozens of times more. Of course, the reliability of this matter is much higher than that of the lottery."

I continued to answer some people's questions about investment subscription.

Chen Mo thought about it and gave a warning, "For this investment, everyone should make it according to their ability. Just like what Mr. Lei said in the email, discuss it with your family and make sure you buy it before you leave."

"Then boss, can you give us some advice? Should we buy it?" One of the students raised his hand and asked.

Chen Mo smiled and uttered one word, "If you believe me, buy it! If you don't believe me, do you still not believe that the things you make are good? Okay, everyone, go away!"

Suddenly someone in the crowd said, "The boss got promoted, don't you want to express your appreciation?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a chain reaction was triggered. The flow of people outwards stopped immediately and they all started to make a fuss!
Seeing this, Chen Mo raised his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, 7: p.m., Dong Lai Shun, I'll treat everyone to shabu-shabu! Is that okay? Get to work!"

Seeing that they had achieved their goal, the people from the three departments cheered and then worked hard!

Looking at this scene, Chen Mo secretly complained that his title had just changed, but his salary remained the same yet he had to pay a huge price. Who could he go to for justice?

at night,

Yan Jin asked his wife, "How much is left in our current account?"

"Combining your salary from last month, it seems to be around 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. What's the matter?"

"Our company needs internal financing, why don't we withdraw the fixed deposit? I plan to invest 30!"

"How much? 30? Old Yan, you don't want to accept it? Do you know how much interest you will lose if you withdraw it now? It will expire in three months!"

"." Yan Jin pursed his lips and just looked at his wife without saying anything.

"Your company won't run away with the money, right?"

Yan Jing was a little speechless, and directly found Lei Jun's Baidu Encyclopedia, "Do you know who Lei Jun is?"

"Lei Jun? I don't know. I'm still a thunderbolt."

"."

"."

The strict wife looked at her husband with a determined look. The two looked at each other, their eyes were entangled and sparks were almost flying. They refused to give in to each other for 1 minute and 5 minutes.
After 10 minutes, the wife finally gave in and said, "You are born in the Year of the Ox. I will obey you this time, but if you lose Lao Yan, you will have to do housework for the rest of your life!"

"What if you win?"

"Whatever you say is what it is!"

Zhang Chao looked at the balance in his online banking account: 62618.32 yuan.

The rent is due next quarter, 6000 for three months. 500 for food this month should be enough.

After calculating on the computer for a long time, I gritted my teeth and rounded it off to 5. I went all in and took a gamble. The bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle!
Believe in the Boss and you will have eternal life!

He felt that his life was shining!
Afterwards, Zhang Chao thought about it again and again and decided to call a few close friends. The first thing he said was, "Do you have enough money? I'm a bit tight lately. Lend me 1 yuan. I'll pay you back after I get my salary. Damn it, I'm not gambling. I'm investing seriously."

After making several phone calls, I borrowed the money, but also lost several "friends".

Fan Dian and Liu Xinyu finished talking about this while playing football. After all, they are both golden bachelors at the moment, and if one person eats well, the whole family will not be hungry. No doubt about it!

In the following days, many families had the same question: should they invest? How much should they invest?
During this period, Chen Mo would occasionally receive emails from classmates in the department expressing their investment intentions.

He is also constantly compiling statistics.

As long as your family is well-off, you can basically reach the investment limit, which is 30.

For example, Huang Jiangji, Hong Feng, Li Jianchao, Sun Ziwei, Yan Jin, Fan Dian, Liu Xinyu, Xu Liang.
At a glance, it accounts for nearly half of the market, which makes Chen Mo sigh. It seems that 30 is the limit for Xiaomi rather than these guys.

According to Chen Mo's understanding, those whose families are not well off have also had to sell everything they have.

Li Jing got 15 yuan, Duan Hongyan and Zhang Chao got 7 yuan, and Zhang Wu got 3 yuan.

When Chen Mo saw the amount someone reported, 45837 yuan, he wondered why Qi Mengmeng had both decimal and integer numbers.

Later, when I called her over and asked her, I found out that this honest man had taken out all the money from his bank card.

"You've handed over all the money, but you still can't make ends meet?" Chen Mo was so disappointed! "I still have some cash in my hand. I'm at Sister Jing's house now. She provides food and accommodation, so it doesn't cost much."

Well, there is such a thing? Chen Mo asked Li Jing with a responsible attitude and softened his tone after getting a positive answer.

"Are you sure you've thought it through?"

"Well, Master's vision is not wrong."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Well, your vision is not wrong. Go and get busy!"

A few days later, when Chen Mo submitted the list of shareholders of the three departments.

Lei Jun was furious when he saw the first name on the list. "You are already the second largest shareholder of the company, and you still lack this little bit of shares? Where is your vision? Where is your face?"

Tsk, who would complain about having too much money? Chen Mo didn't care and directly occupied the moral low point, "Although I am a company executive, just tell me whether I am an employee of Xiaomi or not?"

"."

"The company is in financial difficulties. As a member of Xiaomi, I want to contribute my own strength. What should I do?!"

"Okay, okay, okay, roll, roll, roll!"

In just one week, Xiaomi's employee stock ownership plan was implemented and 1000 million yuan of funds were raised.

To this end, Xiaomi distributes corresponding equity from the public equity pool to all employees participating in the shareholding.

Of course, the effect of the plan of universal shareholding is also obvious.

Almost all employees of Xiaomi participated in the investment, to varying degrees. Even the receptionist Guan Yingzhi invested her own dowry of 100,000 yuan.

Because she didn't see clearly at first that this was a mass email, she accidentally sent the reply email to all her colleagues. People saw the four words she wrote - "Thank you, Mr. Lei!"

Whether it was "accidental" or not is a matter of opinion.

However, since all employees became shareholders, Chen Mo clearly felt that everyone's working status was completely different.

In the past, everyone was only responsible for their own area and at most paid a little attention to the business that intersected with their work.

It’s different now. Some people even ask about the current development and operation of MIOS, and even how the mobile phone is made and when the press conference will be held.

Chen Mo could clearly feel that these guys were not only working for him, but were also beginning to care about the development and operations of the company's business.

Obviously, as employee shareholders, they pay more attention to the overall performance of the company than before. In a sense, this mechanism has shaped the mentality that everyone in the company is an entrepreneur, which is also the cornerstone of Xiaomi's full commitment.

This made Chen Mo record this move. Although he was the one who proposed the idea of ​​universal shareholding, it was just an idea.

When he saw obvious results, he could feel the change in everyone's spirit.

From the company's perspective, we paid salaries for a few months after our establishment, but when we calculated the internal financing, we realized that we had made a net profit of several million before we even had a product.

This is a joke, of course. However, there are some companies that rely on making big promises and writing PPTs, with no products at all, to raise hundreds of millions through a Ponzi scheme. They then live beyond their means and, in the end, when they can no longer play the game of passing the buck, they simply run away with the money.

Later, with the changing of the times, new concepts and ideas emerged one after another, from a random massager at the beginning of the century, to beauty products, and later PPT car manufacturing, virtual currency, and P2P, it was simply a mess.

Although Xiaomi is now assembling mobile phones, it is at least a serious industry. Through financing, it has not only obtained funds, but also gained the loyalty and dedication of its employees.

Employees have a sense of belonging, goals and direction to strive for, and work hard for better returns and better development, and they prosper together and suffer together.

The formation of a community of interests will greatly increase the success rate of this undertaking.

This is such a win-win strategy. As the promoter and experimenter of this policy, Chen Mo has recorded the shareholding of all citizens. This is valuable experience that can be used in future entrepreneurship.

During this period, National Stockholding only took up a little of my time.

He still spends most of his energy on checking project code.

I would set aside an hour in the second half of every day to single out some issues that I thought were important, and then talk to people one by one.

Some are architectural issues, some are logic optimization, and some are at the demand level.

Generally speaking, the students who were called in were so nervous and felt like they were treading on thin ice. They would probably fall into the ditch before they could reach the other side.

Of course, there were also those who were not convinced, such as Sun Ziwei, Yan Jin, Xu Liang, Fan Dian and others.

But everyone who came out would share with others their experience of communicating with Chen Mo. The boss was really awesome. He could not only identify problems but also work with them to analyze and solve them.

And in the end, we have the right to determine the cycle, methods and means of solving the problem, and we will not require immediate launch.

Instead, we will continue to solve these problems in the current stable and orderly version iteration.

When it was Sun Ziwei's turn, the relationship between the two was of course beyond reproach, but in the company, Chen Mo still pointed out some problems mercilessly.

It’s not that there is a problem with the code written by Sun Ziwei. There is no problem with the code, the functionality is fine, and there is even no obvious problem with the elegance of the introduction, which shows his solid foundation and skills.

Chen Mo takes a more macro perspective, examining this code through programming thinking, architecture, and possible scalability of future business, and that is where the problem lies.

Half an hour later, Chen Mo was explaining while typing the code.

Sun Ziwei looked at the screen and saw that Chen Mo had actually written the prototype of his ideal code based on his own scenarios and needs. Although it had not been debugged, he could still see the gap between the two.

From time to time, I would ask questions that I couldn't figure out for the time being. In just half an hour, I gained a lot. Before leaving, Sun Ziwei couldn't help but sigh,
"Even though we are together every day, studying together, singing karaoke together, and coding together, I feel like my technical skills are getting worse after spending so much time with you."

"No, don't overthink it. If you continue on the path you are currently on, you will become a technical master like an architect sooner or later. Go ahead and call Zhang Chao for me."

Watching Sun Ziwei go out, I was thinking about what Sun Ziwei had just said.

Has he become weaker? That shouldn't be the case. I am with Sun Ziwei every day, and his technical growth is visible to the naked eye.

Especially after returning from a business trip this month, I can see his progress. His programming thinking has shown signs of shifting from a senior programmer to an architect.

Within two years, you will probably be a qualified architect, and it should not be a problem for you to get an annual salary of one million yuan from major companies.

Then according to Lu Xun's theory of relativity, there is only one truth.

Chen Mo looked at his hands and murmured, "Ziwei, it's not that you have become weaker, but that I have become stronger."
