The punitive departure of a manager-level employee is very high-profile these days.There was an uproar in the company all of a sudden, and Kevin was of course the one at the forefront.

It looks like he's going to keep a low profile for a while.

Because it is true that Passerby C betrayed the company's trade secrets, since I have doubts about the overall loyalty of my department, it is naturally impossible to remain indifferent.The thoughts of the three of us coincided with each other. It is clear that nothing can be found out, but it is easy to cause everyone to feel insecure; the information we have so far is so little that suspicion itself can only be regarded as a guess, and it is impossible to make an unannounced visit talk about.

In this way, watching it becomes the best choice.Of course, the flow of information must become more regulated.Assuming that any news leaks from the department, who disclosed it under what circumstances and when, there must be a basis for review.

Lao Huang didn't know about my "this matter".The boss asked me directly whether it was related to the resignation of Passerby C, but I did not admit it.

Because the computers were confiscated, even though passer-by C had done the cleaning work in advance, this attempt was too limited in front of our colleagues in the security department.The email address he used to communicate with BCG was soon revealed. Hui Lin quietly came to confirm to me that the email address he communicated with was indeed Ms. Pan De.But she definitely didn't mention this, and the company probably didn't mean to get to the bottom of it.

Now is not the time to get rid of evil.

Also, as much as I don't want it to be, he's sending the "real" data almost unaltered.

If I hadn't prepared for the next move, I dare not imagine what the situation would be like now.

Although the amount of information I provided is quite limited, one is false and the other is true. Even if it is blurred, the truth is still true.Miss Pan De's kindness was more obvious than before. The evening meeting lasted only half an hour, and the information she revealed exceeded the previous sum total.

Although the price was heavy, I undoubtedly gained the trust of BCG.

This is a blessing in misfortune.

"What we talked about last week brought me a lot of new perspectives, and what I said is true." Miss Pender was very relaxed tonight, with one hand on the back of her neck, and she tilted her head to look at me, "Later I have carefully considered the plan you mentioned. Assuming that it can be realized one by one, it is of course very good, but it is also very ideal at the same time-I am curious, if you are from the perspective of an insider in the company, what will happen to you? What about convincing the parent company?"

I frowned, but quickly held back, covered my expression, and asked: "Well, can you please explain in more detail? You mean, considering that the ideal plan will make the two tend to balance, at this time The parent company that originally occupied the dominant party will hinder the passage of the plan?"

"That's it."

I calmly took a breath.No wonder she chose me.

These judgments that BCG wants to obtain cannot be obtained only by discussing with us at work.Unless someone really approves of the company's split plan, or is instructed by the group to fully cooperate with BCG's work, no matter how they set up the bureau and how they use words, they will not be able to get such sensitive content out.

And this kind of judgment is not something that ordinary technical experts or management can make.No wonder she will be screened according to the criteria of the CEO...

But isn't her question describing our current situation?However, in this assumption, the split of the company has become an established fact, and the focus has shifted from the means of split to persuading the parent company to delegate power.

Shall I answer?I look at her.

I'm afraid there is no room for non-answer.

"I don't see the original dominant party—in this case, the parent company—as some kind of established obstacle that needs to be overturned." Relaxing is also easier for her to understand, "Well, you will notice that it is actually the predecessor of this collective. Although there may be various flaws, it must have a wealth of experience before the subsidiary matures, right?"

"Of course. I don't deny that."

I nodded: "In addition, there will be a lot of business cooperation between them in the future, assuming that there will not be too much gap in the interests, and the work efficiency will undoubtedly be improved through the form of reorganization, and some... obstacles will be removed , on the basis of convincing the parent company is an unnecessary thing. Let the decision-makers know the stakes, and everything will happen naturally.”

"What do you mean by 'obstacle'?" She had a half-smile, "The old decision-makers?"

"Not necessarily." I said with a gentle demeanor, "Sometimes it may not be a human problem, it may be a structural problem."

Miss Pan De listened very attentively, and then asked: "In your opinion, what's wrong with your company's structure?"

I control the eyes.People's eye muscles are too easy to betray their true emotions. When they are tense, I try to relax silently. I have practiced in front of the mirror before. As long as I do this, I will look much less aggressive.Of course, the opposite is also true. Now is not the time to make inferences. I just need to make myself look nostalgic for the company: "Our company's management model is relatively modern, and I don't think it has any fatal flaws. Another perspective Look, the nitpicking never ends, and the biggest problems are probably really these two departments where BCG stepped in to optimize. Without it, it's too big."

"Do you think it's more about resource allocation?"

"That's it." I said frankly, "Actually, whether it's the two of us, Xin or Yimin, I have mentioned it many times when they come to have a one-on-one discussion. You think the crux of the problem is not here ?"

Miss Pande took a deep breath, but she didn't rush to speak. She licked her lower lip and said, "You see, many problems in enterprises are distribution problems in the end. I'm not saying that it's not the crux of the matter, but This conclusion—it is invalid. Did I express myself clearly? We know that the walking speed of human beings is about five kilometers per hour, and when we have the need to go to a destination one hundred kilometers away in two hours At the time, we cannot say that the problem is that the speed of human beings is limited... We have to think of other solutions, and realizing the needs is our goal, not transforming the human body."

She discussed it seriously.This is the first time I've seen Miss Pender look like this, so she must be really defenseless against me.

"You explained it very clearly, I think I understand what you mean." I also got a little serious, not doing Tai Chi with her, "Let's assume that everything goes well, the new company has smooth communication channels, the market prospect is optimistic, and there are Strong industry-leading advantages and unremitting innovation—even though we are starting from scratch, this is still a company. The company pursues profits, and the profit-generating departments will be connected to the pipeline. Redundancy will appear sooner or later. At that time, we Do you choose to do it all over again? An arm with blood vessels will not be broken immediately. If you want to get a very high conversion rate, the entire company must first realize automation."

"You're right." Miss Pender was silent for a moment.Just when I thought she was going to move on to the next item on the agenda, she went on to say, "But, don't you think this is also a rule?"

I find it interesting.She's really interested in things like Plan B.Because it is purely divergent thinking and has nothing to do with the current work plan, I relax a lot when I talk about it: "It took only 31 years for the four emperors of the Roman Empire to collapse. The Western Roman Empire was only 81 years old. However, the Eastern Roman Empire lasted intermittently for thousands of years. These are laws, but the gap between decades and 1000 years may be difficult to use the word "law" to summarize the past."

Miss Pender smiled and turned her head a little, looking very playful.I couldn't help but look at it for a while longer, then saw her turn around again, looking at me with a smile on her face, and asked, "If it were you, how would you sum up this period of history?"

"The co-governance of four emperors is a great idea, but it relies too much on people. In history, it is always difficult to achieve things that can only be achieved by heroes. After the Roman Empire was divided, the Western Roman Empire weakened too quickly, while the other side relied on a solid Internal control, frequently gaining the upper hand in the confrontation with the Persians and Slavs. Hundreds of years are too long. The restoration of the country in the 200th century seems to me more like the last miracle. After [-] years of Byzantium But gasping for his last breath.

"But... do you know how long 200 years is?" I shook my head lightly, "The dynasties of Guozuo with more than 200 years are one of the few. It's hard for you to say which one is better, A new company that is aggressive and tends to expand, and considering the giant group it is backed by, may not be like a junk stock at the beginning. However, there are an average of nearly [-] stocks delisted in the US stock market every year. Converted to the day, every day Everyone left."

"This angle is very novel." She looked at me, as if still interested, and asked, "Have you ever studied world history?"

I nodded: "I took several history AP courses. But I didn't take them after I entered university. People who are not native English speakers have to take fewer courses in liberal arts, and the amount of reading is too much."

"It seems that you care about grade points." She blinked.

I hesitate, aren't we still in the middle of the meeting?But because she always controls the rhythm, I would not be disappointed, so I said: "I study very seriously."

"That's right." She nodded as if she had thought of something, "I thought that students in your College of Arts and Sciences would pay more attention to the progress in general education during the undergraduate period."

"Of course it's also a choice..." I didn't speak deeply, but just superficially, and suddenly laughed again, "We always seem to talk about things from our school days."

"Probably because those days are not as far away as we thought."

"Really?" I raised my eyebrows, "Have you changed your mind?"

She shook her head: "I still feel like a layer of fog is covering it. It's just that when you go to recall, maybe the fog will melt away with a light touch of your hand. People are a continuous collection of memories, and I don't think this kind of contradiction is counted. So rare."

"you're right."

"Did you drive Wen Bin out of the company?" Her voice suddenly sounded.

I raised my head abruptly, and Miss Pender's eyes had changed.
