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

Chapter 377: The "Spiritual Seal" on the Other Side

When Zhang Xiaolong came out of the boss' office, his face had a mixed expression that finally turned into a hint of self-mockery.

The boss is the boss. What's so stupid about that? Why didn't he think of such an awesome activity?

Zhang Xiaolong, Zhang Xiaolong, you are still far behind the boss, but this is also the reason why he has always stayed with you on the other side.

Only by being around strong people can you make faster progress.

Maybe for ordinary people, isn't it just like collecting cards, collecting all the cards and exchanging them for prizes? This is an old routine that has been around for hundreds of years.

But Zhang Xiaolong can see something deeper through the surface of the activity.

WeChat’s two most important data indicators, new additions and user stickiness, will definitely be greatly improved through the event, further consolidating WeChat’s current top position in mobile social networking.

The second is to cultivate user habits of scanning, using WeChat red envelopes and WeChat payment. You must know that user behavioral habits are the most difficult to cultivate and guide. 7 to 21 days is exactly the period for cultivating a person's habits, and the boss's choice of the median of 15 days is very thoughtful.

The above two points are the benefits of WeChat.

There are many benefits for the group. First of all, there is definitely a probability in every card draw. It is normal to draw some commercial advertisements recommended based on user portraits. This can generate considerable advertising revenue.

After all, WeChat has hundreds of millions of users, so which company would not be tempted? By the time they attract external investment, it is estimated that the 5 million yuan bonus can be earned back. From a financial perspective, not only is there no loss, there may even be some profit.

Isn’t Mi’an Dongfeng just established? If we give a 20% discount to our sister company, we’ll have three big customers ready.

Moreover, it can also allow its own products to work together and take advantage of the momentum, such as Zhiyan, Toutiao, and Ele.me, which will also have a positive impact on them.

He is very clear about the impact that the Five Blessings Collection game will have on WeChat. Its power is no less than last year's national red envelope. No, it is even more powerful than last year. It is like killing many birds with one arrow.

Zhang Xiaolong can imagine what kind of craze the event will bring to the world. Alibaba spent 30 billion to try to imitate others, but the effect is still the same as last year's. It cannot be said that it is useless, but it is estimated that the effect will be greatly reduced by then.
The effect produced by the other side with a cost of 5 million or less is a huge difference compared to the sponsorship effect of 30 billion. I guess Lao Ma will faint in the toilet crying.

The reason why he made fun of himself in the end was that he was no exception. In the past few months, he often saw media reports that Zhang Xiaolong was hailed as the greatest product manager in China and that Zhang Xiaolong had become the man behind WeChat, which really made him feel a little proud during this period.

Now that Zhang Xiaolong has landed, what he has to do now is to complete the task assigned by his boss to the extent of 8 points and to 10% satisfaction.

On his way back, Zhang Xiaolong casually threw the draft he had intended to report to his boss into the trash can. It was a report about the WeChat Spring Festival event during the Chinese New Year. The words "National Red Packet 2.0" could be vaguely seen on it, and there were two red words "Top Secret" in the upper right corner, but it didn't matter now.
After returning, Zhang Xiaolong regrouped and began to deploy troops within the WeChat team, dividing them into two groups and attacking simultaneously.

Along the way, we gathered fifty technical experts to be responsible for the relevant matters of connecting WeChat and JD.com, and let them jointly develop with JD.com, Xiaomi and SF Express.

After some contact, it was found that the person in charge of the liaison on the JD side was the group CTO Wang Yaqing, who will personally bring a technical team of 50 technical elites from JD to Mi'an Wucai City, which shows the strength of Liu Qiangdong's support.

On Xiaomi's side, the team is led by Yan Jin, manager of the software division. After all, he has a deep connection with Bi'an and is also familiar with some of WeChat's business.

As for SF Express, due to its remote location, technical staff can only communicate via telephone, but fortunately the proportion is not very large.

Zhang Xiaolong took one look and thought it was a good idea. He immediately booked five extra-large conference rooms in the intranet conference system for a long period of time, and prepared to start joint closed development and debugging work.

In fact, WeChat’s workload for this task is not large. It only needs to focus on WeChat’s own upstream and downstream connections and translate the agreements between each other into those that are in line with the company’s standards.

Therefore, although JD.com sent people here, it was only because Xiaomi and Bi'an were here that the mobilization cost was lower.

In this large-scale cooperation project, JD.com plays a connecting role, so Wang Yaqing is the most suitable person to be the project leader.

There are still three weeks left until Double Eleven, which is more than enough time.

The other approach was even more amazing. Zhang Xiaolong directly selected nearly half of the elites of the headquarters, a team of almost a hundred people, to work on the Five Blessings Collection activity. All members were people with outstanding performance in the past few quarters.

Zhang Xiaolong directly found two large conference rooms on the sixth floor and designated them as restricted areas, and personally led the closed development.

However, the significance of this closed development is not to work overtime day and night to catch up with the progress, but to isolate the region and information.

When Fan Dian walked into the boss's office and saw Chen Mo with a gloomy face, he felt a little worried, wondering if he had come in at a wrong time.

Then he began to report carefully and seriously on Zhiyan's current development.

Chen Mo looked at the document sent by the other party and became interested after listening to the other party's explanation. "Hmm? Recruitment APP market share is in the top two? Tell me more about it."

After listening to Fan Dian's explanation, it turns out that in the past six months since Zhiyan launched the recruitment section, due to the special nature of Zhiyan.

That is the existence of the red and black list of companies. The general trend of public opinion in the forum is basically biased towards ordinary workers. Many users with conscience or who have stepped on landmines will screen out those companies with pitfalls. When everyone adds fuel to the fire, countless employees will avoid pitfalls and take fewer detours, and gradually it will become the good money driving out the bad money.

Subsequently, more and more IT practitioners came here to find jobs. Just like e-commerce platforms, with more consumers, merchants will naturally flock here to open stores.

Now in Zhiyan, both the employees and management personnel of the company have been purified, so the job search success rate is significantly higher than other traditional platforms.

There is a saying in the IT job search circle now: if you want to find a reliable job, come to Zhiyan, which is another way of word of mouth.

As for the traditional recruitment websites, 51job, ChinaHR and Zhaopin.com, the quality of the recruiting companies varies greatly and the environment is worrying.

Therefore, these companies are on the verge of collapse under the impact of this up-and-coming company.

Among the current recruitment software, only Liepin.com, which was founded last year, can still compete with Zhiyan with its position and talent matching system.

Fan Dian said, "Since there is a lot of valid data accumulated by companies and employees on Zhiyan, our next plan is to optimize search and matching, with the goal of helping Zhiyan's employee user groups find positions that suit them more easily and solve the problem of difficulty in recruiting and finding jobs."

Chen Mo nodded after listening, "I have looked at the subsequent plans. Whether it is platform security, account privacy, community construction, or user system planning, it can be seen that you have put in a lot of effort. Just follow the plan you set, and I will not hinder you any more.

Even though I don’t seem to pay much attention to Zhiyan on weekdays, I actually visit Zhiyan from time to time before going to bed.”

Fan Dian nodded in understanding, "Everyone in our department knows that Zhiyan is the most risky project in the group, and as a boss, I am under the greatest pressure."

"Well, I understand. But I want to become the number one recruitment app by the end of next year. Do you have the confidence, Adian?"

"Have!"

"Are there any difficulties?"

"Uh, there are!"

Chen Mo admired Fan Dian for this. He was sensible and helpful. He would raise questions without hiding anything. He smiled and said, "Job speaking means speaking directly. This is true for product development and life. If you have any difficulties, just raise them."

“We are short of people, very short of people. The expansion speed of our team cannot keep up with the development speed of Zhiyan. The main difficulty lies in speech control. At present, the technology side is developing an intelligent semantic analysis system, which can identify illegal content and conduct review.

However, this function requires time to develop, and currently it relies on the staff of the operations team to conduct manual review in four shifts around the clock.”

"Don't you usually work in three shifts?"

"Well, the main consideration is that the three-shift system has disrupted the employees' work and rest schedules. Although the Labor Law stipulates that workers cannot take less than one day off per week, this additional shift is to satisfy the employees' need for rotation, so that they can get at least two days of rest per week."

"How much is the night shift allowance now?"

"There is a night shift allowance. Although the labor law does not have specific regulations on the standard of night shift allowance, our company calculates and pays it at 125% of the daily wage of the day shift on weekdays."

Chen Mo's smile became more sincere. "Well, you've read a lot of labor laws, haven't you?"

"Boss, what you said is true. Anyone who has reached a management position in our group must have memorized the labor law before talking about other abilities."

Although Chen Mo had never paid much attention to the combination of Fan Dian and Liu Xinyu, Zhiyan was doing well, and during the communication just now, the impression of this guy in his mind was gradually improved.

Even though the Qingteng Academy meeting was about to be held, Chen Mo decided that some things should be handled specially. "I will say hello to Xu Peixin, and you can discuss the recruitment issues with him, whether it is to lower the standards or expand the selection range.

But I did have a question. For example, you urgently recruited 100 people to relieve the urgent need. After the new intelligent recognition system is launched, the operation may not require so many people. How do you plan to deal with these people?"

The human brain's memory is stored in the form of associations, and when similar scenes appear, the associated memories will be activated.

Chen Mo had experienced the situation that Zhiyan was facing now.

He remembered that it was a cold winter day, with a biting cold wind blowing with snowflakes.
We worked together in the morning, ate together at noon, and left in the afternoon.
Of course he didn’t die, he was just laid off by N+1.

Many technical colleagues who were engaged in mobile development just disappeared, leaving most of the workstations vacant in a blink of an eye.

Later, everyone figured it out. In order to get financing, their company needed to quickly develop an APP, but there was a big gap in mobile technology, so the boss spent 2 to 3 times the salary to poach people from large companies.

The staff was recruited in the summer, and they started working overtime during the probation period. It took 4 months, from summer to winter, for the APP to be successfully launched. A group of probationary employees, led by several veterans, pieced together the product, and the final result was obvious: the company failed to raise funds.

While these newcomers were still in the probation period, the boss ordered the HR department to start a mass layoff, and only one in ten of the company's mobile development personnel survived.

Because the Labor Law stipulates that the probation period cannot exceed 6 months, these people will be covered by insurance if they are not fired.

In the eyes of others, these people are veterans of large companies. Why would they leave large companies with more prospects and stability and instead go back to the old ways? How could they make such a mistake?

You have to know that there was no Zhiyan at that time, and Maimai had not yet come out. Faced with the temptation of a 2 to 3 times higher salary, if he wanted to get this level of salary in his original company, it would be the treatment provided by his leader. In addition to hard work, he also had to look for opportunities. If he changed jobs, working for one year was equivalent to working here for two to three years.

Moreover, during the six-month probation period, the salary is not paid at 6% but 80% without any discount. If it were you, would you sign it or not?

For the company boss, it doesn’t matter whether you sign or not. If you don’t sign, there are plenty of people who will.

In just half a month, the iOS and Android mobile developers were fully staffed with 30 each.
Now it’s time to get rid of the donkey after it has served its purpose. Most of the nearly 60 employees are enduring it silently, but there are also voices of protest.

The HR manager called everyone to a large conference room, slowly wiped his glasses, and spoke softly as if he was having a heart-to-heart talk with everyone.

"If you sign before the end of get off work today, in addition to your salary up to today, you will also receive a severance pay of 5000 yuan. No one will be accepted after that!
It's useless for you to gather here. Maybe some of you want to go to labor arbitration out of passion. As young people, I understand. I've seen a lot of this.

There is a fork in the road ahead, with a clear line between the two. On one side, you can take the money and leave, which is good for you, me, and everyone. You can also make a little extra money, so why not do it?

Another option is to collect evidence, file a complaint, delay finding a new job, and go through a labor arbitration that may not even be decided when. Even if you win in the end and the company files for an appeal, the case may be delayed for one or two years.

As adults, we all need to weigh the input-output ratio to determine which is more important. "

At this point, the manager sighed and said, "I've been through this myself. The youth of a programmer is very precious. You are still young. It's more important to find a new job quickly. It's not worth wasting your time on these trivial matters."
The HR guy next door has a fast-track resignation channel, and you don’t have to wait in line to apply now.”

The next day, the turnover rate was 98.34%.

As for the 1.66%, he was a warrior who finally won the lawsuit and successfully executed it after more than two years.

After receiving the compensation that he legally deserved, the capitalists accepted the punishment.

At that time, he was full of energy and had clear ideas. He felt that he was a hero and role model for the working group, and could even serve as a role model for other workers who were oppressed by unscrupulous capitalists.

Later, reality taught him a lesson. Due to this "glorious" history, no company dared to hire such a "thorny" employee, and he felt as if he was included in the blacklist of IT companies.

Eventually, he was forced to change his career and became a host who popularized labor laws. As time went on, his traffic increased, and at least he could support his family without any problems.

As for why Chen Mo knew these details so well, he could only say that a former colleague told him this story after drinking.
At that time, Chen Mo just asked, if he were allowed to choose again, would he still choose this path?

He just gave a bitter smile. After all, life was not a novel. He couldn't do that. He had lost too much for the so-called right and wrong.

Otherwise, with his top academic qualifications, experience in a big company and technical capabilities at the time, it would not be a problem for him to earn a million-dollar annual salary, let alone become a middle-class person. He would not have to establish a persona in front of the camera every day. His ambition would have been worn away by reality long ago.

Then I drank the high-minded and thin-lived life with a glass of beer~
Seeing the boss fall into deep thought after asking the question, Fan Dian started sweating on his back for some reason.

It's not that he hadn't thought about this question before, but he had never thought about it so deeply. However, since the boss asked so much and seemed very serious, he had to answer it well.

After thinking for nearly 2 minutes, Chen Mo was immersed in his own thoughts, as if he was patiently waiting for his answer.

Finally, Fan Dian recalled what his boss had just said. To be frank means to speak frankly, and to speak frankly means to say whatever comes to mind. So he spoke out everything that was on his mind, still adhering to the principle of putting conclusions first, which his boss often emphasized.

"Since I recruited them, I will not abandon them and destroy the bridge after crossing the river. I will be responsible for them to the end.

I thought of three ways to deal with it: upper, middle and lower.

Because the intelligent semantic analysis system involves artificial intelligence, it will train the corresponding word analysis model and will be launched after the new year, that is, before March.

The best strategy is to give priority to the internal transfer system based on the company's regulations, with two-way selection within the priority department, and the remaining people can be absorbed internally within the company or even the group.

Zhongce, I understand that Qingteng Academy will also have internal training categories for the Bian Group, which can give the remaining people a chance to go back to school and be retrained.

The worst option is, if they still fail after the Qingteng Academy training, it proves that these people do have problems with their work ability, and they will be treated as N+1 according to the company's procedures. After all, the other side does not support idle and useless people.

If this happens, it means that I, Fan Dian, don't know how to judge people and fail to do a good job in recruitment. I will take the initiative to ask you to punish me!"

"Well, it's not that serious. Maybe Zhiyan's business will expand too fast next year, and you will have a headache about how to accommodate these extra people, and then you will worry about not having enough manpower~" Chen Mo made a joke to liven up the atmosphere. Perhaps the bad meeting just now made him very satisfied with Fan Dian's answer.

But Fan Dian didn't smile, there was only seriousness in his eyes.

Chen Mo himself had no point in laughing, so he nodded and said, "Go and do things according to your principles and standards. I'll call Xu Peixin right away and ask him to support your recruitment."

"Okay, boss. I'm going to get busy!"

After Fan Dian left, the smile on Chen Mo's face disappeared. He called Xu Peixin and explained the special approval for Zhiyan's recruitment, adding an additional 100 HC positions in operations.

He was quite satisfied with Fan Dian's answer, otherwise he would not have deliberately eased the atmosphere and made a joke, although he felt that the expression on his face when he recalled it before seemed to have scared him.

Yes, after all, I am no longer the colleague who wrote code with him back then.
If Fan Dian's answer is to use it up and then get N+1, then the final outcome Fan Dian will face will be the N+1 that he gave himself, and perhaps considering his past contributions the number at the end will just be a little bigger.

The other side does not need managers who do not treat their employees as human beings but only as tools and consumables, even if they are executives who have followed them to conquer the world.

In fact, Chen Mo would occasionally chat with the core executives of the group, including some leaders, about topics related to corporate employees and corporate management during meals and meetings.

I want to hear their opinions on some things and some cases.

Because only when his thoughts are consistent with those of the next level of executives, will they penetrate down layer by layer and form a top-down effect.

Coupled with his reporting email address, it forms a direct channel for the subordinate to commit crimes against his superiors.

Since the beginning of this year, he has handled more than a dozen incidents that violated the group's values ​​through the reporting mailbox, including two cases of false accusations. The parties involved ranged from employees to middle-level management. Each time, an email would be sent to all members of the group, and the results were without exception, all with six big words.

"Fire, never hire again!"

Fortunately, no criminal case occurred, otherwise he would have been handed over to the relevant law enforcement agencies.

Unlike some companies, well, they are companies, some employees who are not on the management staff, once they have a little power in their hands, they start to abuse public resources for personal gain and conduct fishing enforcement, but if you walk by the river too often, you will get your feet wet.

After the impact was caused, the company leaders realized that they had no choice but to respond, so they simply found a piece of tofu on the official website to make a perfunctory announcement and transferred the person from his position to deal with the matter.

Who knows where he was transferred to after being transferred from his position? Maybe he was promoted instead of demoted, let alone fired.

But there is still some progress. At least they didn't say that this older female employee was an intern.

Therefore, the value of the chairman’s reporting email address is still increasing within the Bian’an Group and is very deterrent.

A positive and negative bidirectional cycle, only in this way can we ensure that the ship on the other side is firmly stamped with the seal of Chen Mo's will.

Chen Mo thought about the previous plan, and the rest could not be solved in a few words in the company.

Seeing that the time on the wall was already past 6 o'clock in the evening, Chen Mo went straight to the cafeteria downstairs to eat.

Oh, by the way, he remembered that there was an email in the mailbox at the beginning of the year reporting that the food in the company cafeteria was bad, and it listed various evidences.

Chen Mo directly launched an open public opinion poll on the intranet, and the votes for replacing the company cafeteria reached 64%. Even if it was not an overwhelming advantage, it was more than half.

Without saying a word, he immediately fired the supplier of the catering group and the HR manager who contacted the supplier. Even the CHO Xu Peixin, who was in charge of the group's human resources, was severely scolded by him.

I'm spending a ton of money, but I'm treating my employees on the other side like pigs?
Afterwards, he personally found a catering group that was not so famous but had a good reputation in the industry, and ate there for a few days. They excel in cuisines from all over the country, and it was not enough for Chen Mo to eat alone, so he randomly found a dozen employees from all over the world to form a group to eat there, and only chose each other after everyone had no objection.

Although the tastes of employees of the Bi'an Group are diverse, their requirements are actually not high. They don't necessarily want authentic flavors, but at least they should be tasty, and the meals should be nutritionally balanced and include a variety of fruits. The tolerance is still very high. Of course, this is also largely related to the three free meals.

As a result, just after finishing the meal, Chen Mo's cell phone rang.
The memories of Chen Mo in this chapter have prototypes, and the author made corresponding jokes based on his own experiences. Of course, I don’t know if such things are uncommon in all walks of life in the IT industry.

Therefore, every job change at work is like a fork in the road again and again. Dear readers, you must think carefully about various situations before making a decision.
