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

Chapter 827 Bosses Working Overtime All Night

Scientific research shows that there are three points where a person's fatigue curve breaks down after staying up all night:

3:00-4:00 AM (physiological limit, body temperature drops to its lowest point, alertness plummets, it is the most drowsy time of day);

清晨 5:30-6:30（生物钟陷阱，反应速度比正常状态慢 30%以上）；
Whenever a boss on site shows signs of drowsiness, the staff on the other side will see the reports from millions of online supervisors in the live stream and start to wake him up with a "head hanging from the beam and thigh pricking" motion, and then pull out a card to warn him.

The number of surviving companies in the live stream fluctuated dramatically over these two periods—from midnight to 6 a.m., a total of 58 companies were eliminated within 6 hours, leaving 181 companies remaining on the screen.

In stark contrast, the number of viewers in the live stream was [number missing].

Even during the sleepiest time of the night, it consistently maintains over 10 views.

It's important to understand that 10 is just the limit displayed in the Douyin live stream, not the upper limit of this live stream.

Backend data shows that the number of actual online users has exceeded 120 million.

These millions of "cloud supervisors" risked being sleepy at work the next day to guard this massive project, which can be described as "once in a century".

If we had to find a point of reference, we could only say that it is even more awe-inspiring than the Three Gorges Dam.

"Hilarious! These capitalists usually preach about good fortune, but how come they become so weak when they experience it themselves? They can't even last 24 hours, let alone 48 hours! Mr. Chen's strategy of fighting fire with fire is something I applaud!"

"I suggest this be promoted nationwide! Next time any boss shouts about 'wolf culture,' let him work through the night like this, writing several versions of a proposal before we even begin!"

"Haha, proposal number 4821 has been sent back for revisions again. Only one more chance left!"

"I think the 50 billion yuan spent on the Red Spider Lily was absolutely worth it!"

"Just now around 5 o'clock, the boss of number 0714 cried and said, 'I really can't take it anymore.' After being eliminated and his identity was revealed, it was exposed that the company's official website still has the slogan 'Employees must push their limits.' It's really satisfying to publicly execute someone!"

"I see now. Executing these bosses one by one might result in some innocent people being wronged, but if we execute every other one, there will definitely be some who escape..."

"Well, to be fair, there are some bosses who are really something. They sit there focused on their work like meditating monks, and they seem to genuinely enjoy it."

"Isn't that normal? Even if you paid me a million a month, let alone a million, I'd be more passionate about my work than him."

Wang Shoude, whose ID number is 0616, glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost seven in the morning.

He stretched and felt okay; it wasn't too unbearable.

The assessment system allows access to all publicly available data and information from the other side, providing a good opportunity to compare the similarities and differences between the other side and Xinshanghe, and to make a progress summary.

Memories and reality intertwine, old and new mechanisms collide, and several hours pass by unnoticed in every moment of clarity.

Fortunately, the plan that the other side asked him to make was also this type of comparative analysis.

Since the start of the assessment, he has submitted five solutions, progressing from simple to complex, and all of them have been approved.

After a day and a night, he felt he had only sorted out half of it, and his fighting spirit remained undiminished.

He went to the restroom to wash his face with cold water to clear his head, and when he came back, he looked at the screen showing the remaining 165 companies, and took a deep breath:

"continue!"

Not far to Wang Shoude's right, at workstation number 0914, Wang Hang and Hu Shaoyu were still engrossed in their work.

Since learning that there are millions of "cloud supervisors" watching, Wang Hang has completely entered "gentleman's sword" mode, adopting the posture of writing an essay and carefully choosing his words. However, his originally straight posture has now become slightly hunched.

In this assessment, he was responsible for the macro narrative and theoretical output, while Hu Shaoyu took on the responsibility of writing specific plans.

Hu Shaoyu, who is in his fifties, used to need sleeping pills to fall asleep, but now he doesn't need them anymore.

As the company's COO, she personally handles everything, big or small, even personally deciding on the placement of buttons on product prototypes by moving them five millimeters to the left.

Therefore, writing proposals is one of her strengths.

Why should all employees of Good Doctor be encouraged to work hard?
It's no exaggeration to say that she is the hardest-working person in the entire company, and she is usually busy until around 11 p.m. every day.

Before leaving, they would check who else was still working at the company and silently remember them, which would give them special weighting during the year-end performance review.

In her eyes, employees who can work the same schedule as her and do not care about short-term gains or losses are all promising talents.

As a leader, she works so hard and leads by example, so it's not unreasonable for the employees below her to expect more than her, but to be about the same level.

Just then, Hu Shaoyu's phone began to vibrate. Looking at the caller ID, a gentle smile appeared on her sharply defined face. This call was from her daughter, who was studying abroad.

"Hey~ sweetie~ do you miss Mommy? Didn't I just transfer 30 to you? It hasn't been long and you're already broke again? What's the point of buying those earrings? I know, I'll have someone transfer the money to you in a bit. Oh, and be careful when you buy things, don't buy fakes."

They were having a pleasant conversation when suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder. Hu Shaoyu looked up and saw a masked man with a slightly furrowed brow.
"Excuse me, could you please call from the break room? You're disturbing my work."

Given Hu Shaoyu's usual temper, would you dare yell at me? But now, seeing the gazes sweeping over her from the staff on the other side, she covered the microphone and walked away.

Jia Yueting sighed. He had just had an inspiration but missed it because the old woman's chat had interrupted him. Now he couldn't recall it. It felt like a cat was scratching at his chest, which was very uncomfortable.

Although he felt uncomfortable, after reviewing various materials about the other side, he felt that his trip had been very rewarding.

While his assistant was engrossed in writing a "cooperation plan with the other side," Jia Yueting was doing "personal work." When he discovered that the computer could access all publicly available information about the other side, he went into a frenzy, like an experienced sect leader who had suddenly stumbled into the Shaolin Temple's library.

Everywhere you look, there are treasures.

For him, who had once hit the ceiling of the industry, being able to see the development path and essence of Beyond through the surface data and reports, Beyond's current software strength, according to the skin level classification in Beyond games, is equivalent to the ultimate version of LeEco.

If others were to say that they were just enduring or persevering during this assessment, then...

Jia Yueting, however, regarded this place as a paradise, far away from debt disputes and public pressure, and focused on summarizing and thinking about new businesses. It was a rare retreat for him.

LeEco's crisis has prompted him to reflect deeply, and this day and night of comparative analysis may provide richer references for his overseas car manufacturing plans.

He even planned to scrap the cooperation agreement with the other side and rewrite a new version of the "LeEco Rebirth Plan".

Although he had some dark circles under his eyes, which is an unavoidable physiological phenomenon, Jia Yueting was in high spirits at the moment.

Looking at the remaining 162 companies on the screen, he felt a little anxious—he just hoped that this assessment would end as late as possible.

Last night, the rain was heavy and the wind was strong, with the wind howling. After the downpour, it drizzled all night.

Because he returned late last night, Chen Mo parked his car in Leng Ning's parking space without looking at it.

At 8 a.m., he reversed out of the still somewhat damp parking space and drove toward the company.

While having breakfast in the office, an email from Chen Tong popped up in my inbox. It contained negative reports about Peiqiang's activities. It seems that some forces have started expressing their opinions and attitudes through the media and experts again.

However, Chen Mo also had something to say, so he replied to Chen Tong with an email, "Once things have settled down, prepare for a press conference, at which time I will answer the questions that the media are concerned about!"

At the same time, in another building, Fan Dian's team took their positions and handed over the work.

The announcement came over the loudspeaker: "Breakfast time. Please eat and rest in an orderly manner. The assessment will continue in half an hour..."

At 10 o'clock sharp, Chen Mo appeared in the examination room holding a thermos, instantly attracting everyone's attention. There were admiration, dissatisfaction, and mixed feelings.

Ignoring the stares, he walked over to Fan Dian to inquire about the situation, then leaned close to his ear and instructed, "Starting today, we must take this seriously. If things don't look right, intervene promptly, especially the medical team. Don't let it really lead to someone's death."

If a boss were to suddenly die on the other side of the ocean, that would be hilarious.

"Understood!" Fan Dian nodded.

Chen Mo picked up the microphone: "24 hours have passed since the assessment. It seems everyone is in good spirits. There are only 159 companies left. Victory is just ahead. However, I would like to give everyone a chance to make a decision."
Sometimes, choosing to give up based on the circumstances also takes courage.

He paused, his voice carrying throughout the room through the microphone: "If you withdraw now, you can still get the opportunity to be stationed and adjusted by the Other Shore Strengthening Team, but there will be no assistance funds."
If you persist but are eliminated, you'll have nothing left.

This selection is still based on the principle of voluntariness. You will have 10 minutes to consider. The timer begins…

Ten minutes later, seven companies chose to withdraw.

Their license plates were not destroyed, but were recorded by the other side. As Chen Mo had said before, a working group would be stationed there to conduct diagnostic cooperation, but there was no investment.

"There are 152 left now, keep it up." Chen Mo smiled.

I'll come see you all again tomorrow. I hope you're still here.

Inside a small tech company in Beijing, the boss, who had just returned from overseas, looked at the familiar weariness on his employees' faces, as if recalling some painful memory.

He immediately summoned the manager for questioning.
"Did the tech department work all night again last night?"

"Uh, Mr. Liu, the project went live last night, and then some problems arose that we've been dealing with ever since."

"If this problem isn't solved, will the company go bankrupt?"

"Well, it's not that bad."

"Pass down the notice: starting today, the company will prohibit all employees from working overtime overnight! Employees who work overtime overnight do not need to come to the company tomorrow; they are given the day off."

The manager was stunned. After attending the event on the other side of the river, the boss seemed to have become a different person.

But he quickly realized, "Ah... okay!"

But then I thought, tomorrow is Saturday, and I don't have to work anyway.

Well, it seems like nothing has changed much.

On the third day of the assessment, the air in the examination room seemed to solidify into a viscous gel at the same time.

Chen Mo looked at the group of people who had been working continuously for 48 hours without rest. At this moment, their eyes no longer held the complex emotions of yesterday; instead, they were just blank and wooden.

I just watched them eat, and they seemed to be floating around. I even heard Fan Dian report that the medical team used several stretchers last night. Luckily, we were well-prepared and there wasn't a shortage of stretchers.
Of course, nothing bad happened. It's just that these bosses, who used to live a life of luxury, couldn't stand this kind of hardship. Some of them even fell asleep sitting down and couldn't be woken up.

Looking at the numbers on the screen, 48 hours, 108 companies.
"Today should be the day to decide the winner," Chen Mo muttered to himself, his fingertips gently stroking the inside of the thermos.
