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

Chapter 195: It's easy to be an employee, but it's hard to be a boss
Lei Jun and Xu Dalai looked at each other, the former pointed at Chen Mo and laughed.
"I was wondering why you're so enthusiastic all of a sudden. I didn't expect you to be waiting here. What do you want to talk about first?"

"Do you have any resources with the bank? Bi'an wants to apply for a payment license."

After all, these two are also shareholders of Bi'an. Chen Mo gave a brief description of what WeChat is currently doing and what it wants to do in the future.

It was the WeChat-based ecological platform that he had previously discussed with the core management in a meeting.

The key point lies in this payment license. If it is successful, everything will fall into place naturally.

Chen Mo had thought about letting Bi'an follow the path of Alipay before, but reorganizing the workplace itself was already very risky. If he continued in this way, he was not a cat person, so after thinking it over again and again, he gave up this idea.

When he finished speaking, the other two people in the room knew that this was no longer just the Bi'an family's business.

Xiaomi, Bi'an, and Shunwei, these three companies are intertwined, and the three have formed a community of interests that is bound together.

The next question is how to get this payment license, which becomes the top priority.

Lei Jun thought about his personal network and found some people he could approach, but he couldn't guarantee that he could get the job done.

"I really don't know who can get these two license plates. I'll ask someone first. It's hard to say whether it will succeed or not. I'll update you when I have news!"

Before Xu Dalai, his main resources and connections were in Singapore. In recent years, he has had little dealings with many people in the financial and banking sectors in China, but he doesn't dare to say goodbye and said he would try to contact them as soon as possible.

"Thank you in advance~"

"It's all our own business, it's what we should do~"

Xu Dalai and Lei Jun looked at this little brother with outstanding ability and vision with admiration in their eyes.

Chen Mo found that he had been involved in various meetings over the past half month.

Technology, investment, demand, manpower, and interviews
There were some key resolutions in the meeting on the other side that needed his final say, Xiaomi needed his suggestions, and Shunwei needed communication and confirmation. He ran up and down the 12th and 13th floors, just like he was running in circles.

No wonder people often say starting a business is hard.
Chen Mo was so busy that he felt like the busiest person in the company. Sometimes he even fantasized about learning how to create Naruto's shadow clone.

During this period, in addition to attending meetings and assisting in giving advice and controlling key directions, he was also observing the personnel situation of these teams.

Overall, I am very satisfied. After all, the employees who can enter the other side are all very capable talents. Now the chicken blood buff is still there, and they are rushing forward like calves. If you are not careful, some of them can't control the urge to work overtime.

During the meeting, everyone spoke freely and openly. When encountering difficult problems, they would often understand them immediately after I gave some suggestions and apply them to other situations. These are the qualities that excellent employees possess: strong self-discipline, high execution ability, and extremely efficient work.

So why do some companies give priority to recruiting people with the top 10 academic qualifications, or those in the 985/211 pool?

It's not that we look down on general universities or junior colleges, but these people have proved their self-discipline and ability to continue learning by passing the college entrance examination during their more than ten years of study.

It doesn’t mean that there are no slackers in prestigious universities, nor does it mean that there are no talented people in ordinary undergraduate and junior colleges. It’s just that from a probabilistic point of view, there are few of them.

The reason why Bi'an emphasizes ignoring academic qualifications is that it just wants to give everyone a fair chance to compete and does not want to use academic qualifications to keep out talented but low-educated people.

Since there were indeed too many people coming to Bi'an for interviews during this period, he could only select the best from the best and develop Bi'an first before talking about the future.

Now Bi'an's interview scope has expanded to all parts of the country. As long as the candidates pass the remote telephone interview, the company will cover the round-trip travel expenses of the candidates who come for the interview.

It’s all about talent.

Chen Mo looked at the project schedules submitted by various departments. He had worked his way up from an ordinary employee to a Team Leader, manager, executive, and now the boss. So he wouldn't bargain or compress time like buying things in a mall, nor would he give any Deadline (deadline is also called final deadline) to his subordinates.

Sometimes Chen Mo couldn’t understand why some companies always set deadlines.

I don't understand whether the company will go bankrupt tomorrow or the boss is dead. I don't know where all the dead come from. If I let him say it, whoever pays the salary is the daddy. Maybe changing it to DadyLine will be more appropriate.
Of course, there is also a possibility that the boss did not actually give any firm orders, but instead passed them down layer by layer, from top to middle levels, and in order to leave an impression of hard work on their superiors, they added layers of pressure and finally came up with a Deadline.

Anyway, it's not them who work hard, but the grassroots employees. If the project is successful, the credit goes to me. If the project encounters risks, only the employees who work hard will suffer. Who says they are the ones doing the work?

Only by crushing your opponents in the workplace can you naturally survive well. This is also a rule of survival in the workplace.

The workplace is like this, the business world is like this, and the Internet is even more cruel. It is a race against time. Whoever runs slower will die first. Maybe I just took advantage of my rebirth, knowing how to take the right path, reducing the cost and time of countless trial and error, so that everything seems normal.
Chen Mo came back to his senses, and after figuring this out he couldn't help but sigh. He then asked each department to evaluate the overall efficiency internally. Since everyone's abilities were different, the estimated time for completing a project would also be different.

Then, according to the actual situation, a normal and reasonable project plan will be formulated within working hours, and the final time will be a normal, benign and sustainable project schedule!

He had already approved the final plans of each department and was still looking at the schedule.

Now the schedules for the four major areas, including the new version of WeChat, Bi'an Mobile Assistant, various mobile games of the Game Division, and Zhiyan APP, have been released one after another. After Chen Mo's confirmation, some departments have already started to break ground.

Without considering payment licenses, the simpler the payment process experienced by users, the more complex the technical implementation behind it.

In addition to the optimization of other functions, the new version of WeChat requires a two-and-a-half-month development cycle. At the beginning, Xu Chaojun gave Bi'an Mobile Assistant a relatively long schedule, a total of three months, and then he split it into two phases. The first phase was to cooperate with the progress of the mobile game, which only had basic functions and application market, and this was completed within two months.

The second phase, which includes mobile phone optimization and other related functions, will take one month.

This is the example of a skilled worker who can arrange things clearly without having to worry about anything himself.

It takes about 2 months to develop the Zhiyan APP.

As for the game division, after some technical discussions with Sun Ziwei and his team, the first month was spent on developing the underlying architecture of the game platform, which was to lay the foundation. As for the game engine, they would first buy a ready-made one such as Unity 3D.

The second month is when each project team starts developing mobile games.

With this arrangement, the schedule becomes clear at a glance.

Chen Mo listed the project launch dates in a timeline table:

WeChat Business Department

WeChat V1.5 (1.4 is so ugly, so I’ll skip this version): launched on May 5 (there are risks in coordinating with banks, so it will be launched on the same day)

Job Description Department

Zhiyan APP: Launched on April 4

Platform Division

Bi'an Mobile Assistant Phase 1.0 V5: Launched on May 12

Bi'an Mobile Assistant Phase 2.0 V6: Launched on May 9

Game Division

Mobile game open platform: completed on April 4.

The development cycle of the "Happy Match 2" project is 5 months, and it will be launched at the end of May.

"Crazy Chicken" (Temple Run) 2 months, launched at the end of May.

"Legend of Warcraft" will be launched in mid-June in two and a half months.

"Ancient Warfare" (Clash of Clans) 3 and a half months, launched in mid-July.

The overall time period is basically concentrated between May and July.

Chen Mo's mind was moved. How about holding a new product launch conference? This process is familiar to me~
With the successful case of Xiaomi’s press conference, it shouldn’t be difficult to replicate a famous scene, right?
The difference between a strong person and an ordinary person is that they have super execution ability. Chen Mo does what he thinks. He spent half an hour writing a "Procedure Summary of the New Product Launch Conference on the Other Side", which is a programmatic process draft.

Then he called Chen Tong and asked him to prepare and organize it. After all, Chen Tong is a professional in media resources and public opinion creation.

Hey~ It’s so cool to be a hands-off boss!

Is this what it means to be a boss?

He was happy for less than a minute, but when he saw the last unread email, his good mood disappeared instantly. It was the company's income and expenditure report submitted by the company's finance department.
After reading it, Chen Mo took out his calculator and said, "Return, return, return to zero."

After a quick calculation, I felt a little panicked.

Then I quickly took inventory of all my current assets.

The previous auctions of Tuanjian.com and Tuan123.com, plus the original profits, totaled over 5 million RMB!

He personally invested a total of US$1000 million in Xiaomi's angel round and A round, and Shunwei Capital invested US$5000 million, equivalent to RMB 3.9 million.

The various costs for setting up Bi'an added up to nearly 4 million, which makes million.

All of the above are long-term business investments, and don’t expect any dividends or cash out within a year or two.

In terms of personal investment, the house and renovation of Huaqing Jiayuan, as well as stocks such as BTC, would cost nearly 1 million yuan.

As for the sports car and the previous expenses on technical poverty alleviation with various young ladies, these small things are not included.

After taking stock of the above, Chen Mo found that he still had a little over 10 million left.

In other words.
The company is running out of money.
