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

Chapter 521 If you can’t win by sneaking around, then try an open strategy!
"Are you afraid?"

The echo reverberated in the classroom
Then it fell silent
Everyone looked at each other, saw the fighting spirit flashing in each other's eyes, and then smiled at each other.

"Afraid? Not possible!"

"Just do it!"

Xu Chaojun nodded, his eyes firm: "Okay, let's let those people outside see what a real 'juicer' is!"

"HOO!"

There were cheers everywhere, and some social terrorists below had started blowing their trumpets, tick-tick-tick.

Even some introverted technical experts who were not good at expressing their emotions secretly clenched their fists and gently pounded the table.

These 'terrorists' on the Internet have been developing systems day and night for the past month. Various systems have been simulating conflicts with each other and constantly iterating and upgrading. They are almost turning into a tornado. Why?
Isn't it just to find a place to test the explosion one day and see how much destructive power there is?
Now that the opportunity is right in front of them, how can they not be excited!
Due to the existence of institutions like Qingteng College that select the best from the best, employees of Bi'an are basically hired through interviews in other major Internet companies.

From the current overall perspective, the Internet industry is in a bonus period, and it is common for company employees to change jobs. In addition, the salary increase within the company is far less than the temptation of doubling the salary by changing jobs. This has led to an average turnover rate in the Internet industry of about 20%-25%, nearly a quarter, which is much higher than other traditional industries.

However, since the treatment and environment of leading Internet companies such as BAT are much better than those of lower-level companies, the annual turnover rate is slightly lower. Tencent has the lowest turnover rate of 12.4%, Alibaba has 16.3%, and Baidu has the highest turnover rate of 17.6%.

But there is an exception in the entire Chinese Internet, and that is Bi'an. As of the end of last year, the average annual turnover rate did not exceed 3%, which is shockingly low, making a number of "friendly competitors" hate it.

This phenomenon is due to the unique benefit distribution system of "The Other Shore", which is unique not only in China but also in the world.

Although other large companies are jealous, they find it difficult to follow suit - either they have the will but not the ability, or they have the ability but not the will.

For these technical talents on the other side, it might be more appropriate to describe them as "geniuses". They have long been at the pinnacle of domestic technology, and their generous salaries have long allowed them to transcend the level of material pursuits.

Today, they are more eager for higher spiritual pursuits - the confrontation between technologies, achieving self-transcendence and pursuing excellence through constant challenges and breakthroughs.

Just like the battle between martial arts masters, the only enlightenment and improvement after the great terror between life and death is the path they pursue.

Moreover, many people’s former employers are BAT. They know that there are still many highly skilled technical experts there, and being able to compete with these former colleagues makes these people even more motivated.

Xu Chaojun was very pleased to see the rising morale of his subordinates. "Don't be too excited. Each team should quickly evaluate the time. I will give you 30 minutes. I need feedback."

After half an hour.

After discussing and confirming with various teams, Xu Chaojun replied on WeChat:

"Boss, give me a week and the juicer will be able to make orange juice!"

A few seconds later, a reply came: "Get it, hard work!"

Xu Chaojun looked at his elite troops who were back to work again, and the powerful juicer system in the computer, and couldn't help but hum inwardly.

When doing projects in the other side, the most taboo thing is to reinvent the wheel. What does that mean?

A common phenomenon among Internet companies is that when mature solutions are already available, they still choose to redevelop products or technologies with similar functions, which leads to serious waste of resources.

Therefore, after Xu Chaojun received the new task, he did not rush to start even though the time was tight and the task was heavy. Instead, he led everyone to spend a week designing the plug-in and unplug mechanisms for the bottom and upper layers, reusing existing functions as much as possible, and iterating and optimizing based on the original Kunlun Mirror system.

This time, the juicer system was able to respond to new demands so quickly and complete the task in one week because more than 70% of them were original general modules.

The reason why it took a week was that Kuaidi Dache and Didi Dache were different from previous platforms in terms of technical architecture and security system. It would take some time to parse and translate the other party's data stream into common data that the juicer could recognize.

Xu Chaojun believes that after these two major battles, the juicer system they developed with the efforts of the entire island will be able to juice everything in the future, regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign.

He recalled the scene when Chen Mo gave him earnest instructions when the project was first launched, as if it happened just yesterday.

"Cha Jun, you know the background. This project is of vital importance. It is equivalent to strategic nuclear weapons in wartime. If it is not launched, it will be fine. But once launched, it must play a decisive role. I will leave this important task to you!"

Chen Mo's voice was steady and powerful, and every word carried weight.

"I will ensure that the mission is completed!" Xu Chaojun promised, patting his chest.

Chen Mo nodded slightly, his eyes deep, and continued: "We need to have a long-term vision and a bigger picture. This system is only the first step to deal with the upcoming commercial competition. I hope it can play a greater role in the future - to protect our country. The home we protect is a small home called 'the other side'; the country we defend is a big country called 'Huaxia'."

Xu Chaojun still clearly remembers that his boss patted him on the shoulder heavily when he said this.

The force of that slap seemed to carry a thousand pounds of weight, instantly igniting the blood in his heart and making his heart surge.

He had a vague feeling that this system might allow him to open a separate page in his family tree.

To defend our country, hey~it is the duty of a real man in this era of great conflict!
"Guarantee to complete the mission!" Xu Chaojun said to himself with a firm look in his eyes.

Then he wrote a few words in the middle of the blackboard.

"Countdown: 7 days!"

Meanwhile, Hangzhou.

Inside the Siguoya conference room at Alibaba headquarters, the atmosphere was solemn.

Wang Xing led Meituan’s core executives to the event. Although the number was small, each of them was very important - the three giants Wang Huiwen, Chen Liang, and Gan Jiawei gathered together.

In fact, Wang Xing knew clearly that Gan Jiawei was the commander-in-chief of this operation, and Wang Huiwen was the highest-level leader.

But Wang Huiwen is not only his right-hand man, but also his old classmate for many years, and their relationship is extraordinary; as for Gan Jiawei, although his status is almost the same as Shen Peng, he has a close relationship with Alibaba and cannot be touched.

Therefore, although Wang Xing knew that Shen Peng's responsibility was not that great, he still persuaded him to take the blame temporarily. To this end, he spent a lot of time and effort, and even did a lot of appeasement work in private, before Shen Peng reluctantly accepted this arrangement. At the other end of the conference table, four of the 18 Arhats of Alibaba were there, and Jack Ma was firmly in the center, with a strong aura and a sharp gaze.

Although the actual control of Meituan is still in the hands of Wang Xing, Alibaba, as the major shareholder behind it, has already demonstrated its significant influence at critical moments.

Especially some time ago, Meituan Waimai suffered a disastrous defeat in the fierce competition with Ele.me, and finally it was thanks to Jack Ma's intervention that the situation was barely stabilized.

This meeting was not a simple summary and review, but a meeting to synchronize the progress of Meituan’s strategic planning for Ele.me in the next stage.

As a project in which Alibaba has invested heavily, Meituan occupies an extremely important strategic position in Alibaba's entire business empire. Jack Ma will naturally not sit idly by.

It was precisely because of the strong pressure from the capital that this high-level meeting took place.

Inside the conference room, the two sides' eyes met. Beneath the seemingly harmonious atmosphere, the air was filled with an invisible struggle and game.

An hour later, after listening to Wang Xing's report, Jack Ma narrowed his eyes slightly, then stretched out a finger and gently tapped the PPT on the screen, "Jiawei, go back to the first page!"

Gan Jiawei, the third-ranked figure in Meituan and once a core member of Alibaba's local marketing team, is now in this conference room, silently operating the PPT according to the instructions of Wang Xing and Jack Ma.

His fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"Turn back... past, past, previous page, okay, stop!" Ma Yun's voice was steady and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

He stood up and walked slowly to the screen. He first raised his hand and clicked on the content on the PPT, then rested his hands on the conference table. Although he was not tall, his aura was as overwhelming as a mountain.

"Look at this content," Ma Yun said in a low but clear voice, "I don't think it's good. Don't always think about how to destroy your opponent. This kind of thinking is too low-level.

We must first clarify one question: what exactly does Meituan and Meituan Waimai do? We must always think about what our original intention is and what kind of benefits can we bring to our users and to society.

Just like Taobao, our mission is to make it easier to do business anywhere in the world and to support small and medium-sized businesses. We have been working continuously towards this goal.

At the beginning, I just wanted to start a small business to help some people start their businesses through the Internet. Who would have thought that it would become so big in the end? "

As soon as Ma Yun said this, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became subtle. His unintentional "pretentious" temperament made everyone want to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud, so they could only lower their heads. Ma Yun didn't care at all and continued to talk.

“Meituan and Meituan Waimai also have their own values ​​and missions.

Yes, the ultimate goal is to make money, but making money cannot be the only goal, especially we cannot let users see that we are only doing it for the sake of making money. So what should we do? We should focus on serving the public and satisfying consumers.

As long as consumers are satisfied, our goals will naturally be achieved.

So how do you do it? First, take a look at what your competitor, Ele.me, does.

They successfully resisted Baidu Waimai's money offensive through the trinity of service, treatment and products, making the price war lose its aura of invincibility. Why did Meituan Waimai's strategy of "surrounding the city from the countryside" fail? Have you ever thought about whether it is because of losing the support of the people? Those negative public opinions on the Internet must have cost a lot of public relations fees?"

Ma Yun stood at a higher level and used a method that was almost like a dimensionality reduction attack to get to the heart of the problem. Every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the Meituan trio. Wang Xing, Wang Huiwen, and Gan Jiawei looked at each other in embarrassment and were speechless for a while.

"Then it's easy to do. Since ancient times, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. My suggestion is that Meituan should compete with Ele.me in terms of service, treatment, and products. Anyway, facts have proven that you can't beat them by using tricks before, so let's have a real business competition through open and aboveboard tactics."

Wang Xing showed hesitation. "There is no problem with the service. I am confident in the quality of our employees. But at the product level, the other party has a strong backer. I am afraid that our technical reserves are not good enough."

“Isn’t there Alibaba? Why did I call the three heads of product, technology, and operations here to provide you with assistance.

Ele.me has Bi'an Cloud, and our Alibaba Cloud is not much different." When he said this, Lao Ma seemed to recall some unbearable past events, and he paused for a moment, then continued,

".We can also provide our internal e-commerce systems and self-developed LBS positioning technology to Meituan. My people will introduce you to Alibaba's various systems later. You can purchase them as needed. Of course, these are all charged."

"Of course I should." Wang Xing smiled modestly, but secretly delighted in his heart. He made this statement intentionally, in order to win Alibaba's support in all aspects to cope with the upcoming market competition. However, the most difficult part for him is still the riders.

"Finally, regarding remuneration, it's not so bad for Meituan's internal employees, especially the riders."

"What happened to the rider?"

"Ele.me has already signed formal labor contracts with riders and also pays five insurances and one fund for them. If we at Meituan also copy this practice, the financial pressure will be very great..." There was a hint of helplessness in Wang Xing's tone.

After listening to this, Lao Ma frowned even more. Indeed, Meituan’s business model from the beginning did not provide comprehensive welfare protection for riders. Now that it suddenly has to adjust, it will not only face huge financial pressure, but may also have a serious impact on cash flow. He pondered for a moment, and a compromise plan gradually emerged in his mind.

"That's it," Lao Ma said slowly, "We can increase the unit price of the riders appropriately to increase their income, so as to cover the cost of social security and other benefits. The company will pay more cash every month, but will not pay social security directly. Compared with keeping the original salary and not paying social security, I think most riders will prefer the former."

If the company gives them more money every month without paying social security, or keeps their original salary without paying social security, I think most of them will choose the former. "

Wang Huiwen nodded and agreed, "That's true. Most of these riders have low education, limited knowledge, and no special skills. Being a rider is one of the few options they have. For them, the immediate cash income may be more attractive than the long-term social security benefits."

"Is the problem solved now?"

Wang Xing nodded after hearing this, feeling a little relieved. Although this plan is not perfect, it may be the most feasible option under the current circumstances.

"Mr. Ma has a far-sighted vision, which has opened my eyes," Wang Xing said with sincere admiration.

Hearing this, Lao Ma raised his chin slightly, with a hint of pride in his expression, "Meituan's good development is more important than anything else. In addition, I can give you a suggestion - the food delivery business can be boosted with the power of the Meituan APP."

Wang Xing's eyes flashed with thought, and he asked tentatively: "Mr. Ma, do you mean linkage? Integration?"

"That's about what I mean. You can figure out the specific operations yourself," Lao Ma said in a calm tone, seemingly unwilling to say more.

After he finished speaking, he looked down at his watch, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness.
"There will be an entrepreneur forum in the city soon, and I have been asked to attend. You can continue to discuss the remaining details."
