Top of the big era

Wang Haiyang, whom He Yang recruited from ASUS, has already joined the job as the human resources director, at the M3 level.

However, the bosses in the conference room held a meeting and did not recruit him.

A total of 6 people, namely the big boss Zhou Buqi, COO He Yang, CFO Wang Haoyang, Cheng Binghao who is about to be promoted to CTO, Zhang Yiming, CEO of Youyou.com, and Guo Pengfei, CEO of Xiaonei.com.

This is the highest level of Ziwei Star.

Everyone is sitting together, and it is not a transparent office, but a closed meeting room, so it can be seen that there are some major decisions to be announced.

"Hang Hai, dim the lights over there, it's a bit dazzling... Uh, Haoyang, I made a mistake." Zhou Buqi was a little speechless, and joked, "I said that when recruiting people in the future, can we try our best to avoid serious problems?" The name? Wang Haoyang, Wang Haiyang, they are often called wrong."

Everyone will smile heartily.

After adjusting, Zhou Buqi straightened his face and said softly: "Then let's have a meeting and talk about a few things. First, we are going to set up a new department called the decision-making committee. I will serve as the chairman of the decision-making committee. Everyone here is a member. From now on, the company's major strategic adjustments, personnel appointments, and investment directions will all be decided by this decision-making committee."

In other words, the decision-making committee will be the highest authority of Ziwei Star.

Zhou Buqi is very self-aware.

He is just an ordinary person with some past life experience, and his aptitude may be worse than anyone present here.

Arbitrary Chao Gang is not acceptable.

Unless it is some particularly obvious projects with past life experience, other decisions still have to seek collective opinions.

Wang Haoyang raised his eyebrows, "What about the future?"

"It will be the same in the future!"

"Where's the board of directors?"

Right now, Ziwei Star has not yet raised funds, and the management decides the company's strategy. After the start of financing, the company's decision-making will be decided by the board of directors.

Is this decision-making committee going to lift the board of directors?

Zhou Buqi said coldly: "The control of the company must be in the hands of the management. In particular, the company's strategy cannot be controlled by capital. This is extremely dangerous. Even if a board of directors is established in the future, we must firmly Control it and turn the board of directors into a hands-on meeting. The decision-making committee is the highest organization of Ziwei Star."

"It's not easy to do..."

Wang Haoyang looked troubled.

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, "It depends on your means, you must force the management to bow their heads during the financing process."

Wang Haoyang felt that his stomach was filled with bitter water.

Depend on!

What a chore!

Those who offend others have to bear it by themselves.

Fortunately, Ziweixing has no plan to start financing in the short term. The stronger the company is, the more confident it will be in the face of capital during the financing process.

"Let's talk about the second thing, which is very important. If it is a board of directors model, it will definitely not be approved, but we are a decision-making committee. Everyone has a vision and knows the value concept of our Ziwei Star, so we will definitely be able to approve it."

When Zhou Buqi said this, Wang Haoyang couldn't help trembling in his heart.

He's the chief financial officer, and he's in charge of the money.

So more sensitive.

The board of directors can't pass it, but the decision-making committee can pass it... needless to say? Must be a big project that costs a lot of money!

Sure enough, Zhou Buqi continued: "As you all know, we have just recruited a computer scientist. He was the chief researcher of Lenovo Research Institute before, and he is one of the few domestic experts who has been at the forefront of computer research in the world."

After giving him a look, He Yang talked eloquently, introducing Yang Zhenkun's personal resume.

It can be said that, based on his achievements in the past, among the academicians of the two academies, except for his doctoral supervisor Academician Wang Xuan, no one else can compare to him.

If he is still in the system, he will probably be the youngest academician in our country.

After listening to the introduction, Zhang Yiming's eyes were sharp. He is a technology enthusiast, and he said pleasantly: "So, we have to make up our minds to do research on core algorithms, and specialize in distributed processing algorithms? If it is really done, it will be great for our Data processing algorithms are also of great help.”

Zhou Buqi said: "Go one step further!"

"oh?"

Zhang Yiming was pleasantly surprised.

Similarly, Cheng Binghao and Guo Pengfei were also very interested. They are all technical backgrounds and have a natural pursuit of this aspect.

Only Wang Haoyang was shocked and his face turned black.

further?

What is this for?

The company is out of money!

The money invested in Qihoo 360 has just recovered 10 million US dollars, which can solve the company's hidden cash flow crisis. Are you going to bleed again?

For a company like Ziweixing that has many businesses under its umbrella, including marketing, products, operations, and scientific research, it is very dangerous to have only tens of millions of dollars on the books.

From the perspective of financial management, the company's books must have at least 18 months of cash flow that can meet its daily operations.

Now, Ziweixing's monthly expenditure is around 12 million, and in 18 months... it is more than 200 million!

Where did so much money come from?

Zhou Buqi seemed to have no idea about money, and he was very determined in his work. He said in a deep voice, "I have talked with Dr. Yang. You can't conduct scientific research for the sake of scientific research. If you want to generate motivation, you must conduct scientific research for the sake of products."

"What product are we going to do?"

"Distributed relational database!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone changed their colors.

Even Cheng Binghao, Zhang Yiming, and Guo Pengfei, who had three technical backgrounds, were stunned, with their mouths wide open and their eyes dumbfounded.

In computing, this is a new concept.

Even in Silicon Valley, no giant company has conducted research in this direction, and this is a completely blank market.

Can it work?

A large part of the reason why the domestic Internet has developed so well in the past few years is that we have been imitating Silicon Valley. The Americans are in front of the mine, and we are in the back to borrow light.

They do failed projects, we don't do them; they do successful projects, we copy them and make domestic versions.

This not only reduces the probability of failure, but also greatly saves manpower, material and financial resources.

How delicious is this pattern?

Now, we are going to make a distributed database, which is a road that Americans have not gone through. If there is a thunder ahead, don't we have to step on it ourselves?

There are great risks involved.

He Yang shouted: "This is too risky!"

Guo Pengfei was very guilty, "Old Zhou, this...isn't appropriate?"

Zhang Yiming sighed and shook his head.

Cheng Binghao was stunned for a long time, and then he said stupidly: "This is technology pioneering."

Wang Haoyang swallowed his saliva, and lost his voice in a daze: "How much money do you need to invest?"

Of the six members of the decision-making committee, the other five disagreed.

Zhou Buqi's reaction to them is not surprising.

This is the status quo of the domestic technology circle.

Core technology is very important, everyone knows this. But when faced with it, who can make up his mind to do it? In the industry, there is a group of people who shout slogans every day. Outside the circle, there is also a group of people who advocate every day.

Basically, it is to call on others to do hard and tiring scientific research, and to shout for it by yourself.

This has formed another trend, and high-end talents have left one after another.

The top talents cultivated by famous schools want to do some world-class scientific research projects, but they find that there are no leaders in China.

Academicians are either busy shouting slogans, or busy writing papers, or they are simply not good enough to do it, and companies are reluctant to spend money, so they can only go abroad to find opportunities.

It is impossible for Zhou Buqi to turn things around by himself, but he must do something.

Xiaonei.com has prepared a "talent package" for high-achieving students from prestigious schools.

Use the "Weizhiwang" that has not yet been launched to find talents, and use the job search website for fresh graduates to retain talents. For the high-achieving students of Tsinghua University, Peking University and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, they can even provide part-time job opportunities during the school period.

Use a longer period of emotional cultivation and value edification to keep them in Ziwei Star and in China.

World-class scientific research projects are indispensable.

Otherwise, let scientific research talents do webpage js design, taxi, takeaway, and QR code payment, and they will spit at you, and it will be strange if you don’t leave.

Only the most high-end projects can retain the most high-end talents.

When Zhou Buqi explained such a theory clearly, the conference room became quiet all at once.

Both Zhang Yiming and Guo Pengfei had crystal clear eyes and were quite moved.

He Yang also had burning eyes, as if he couldn't believe it, how could such a young man have such a big pattern? This level of thought is deep enough.

Cheng Binghao sighed, "Yes, there are talents for any project. There is no shortage of scientific and technological talents in China. What is lacking is the opportunity for these scientific research elites to display their talents. Distributed database... Let me make a statement first , What the boss said made my heart surge, and I felt like I was back in my youth. I agree!"

Guo Pengfei suddenly raised his hand and said loudly: "Zhou Buqi, I want to join the scientific research team of this distributed database..."

"Shut up!"

Zhou Buqi glared at him, and refused politely.

Zhang Yiming said loudly: "This is exactly the reason why I joined Ziweixing. Zhou Buqi, you have not forgotten your original intention. I will definitely go all out. Distributed database, I agree!"

He Yang's emotional management is relatively in place, and he calmed down quickly, "I have known Lao Yang for many years. In the past ten years, he has been at the forefront of scientific research, and there is no project he can't do. I know this database project. It's technically difficult, but I believe he can do it."

Wang Haoyang was about to cry.

Both of you agree, is this roasting me on the fire?

It's easy to say, who pays?

"That...you need to invest a lot of money in this project?" Wang Haoyang asked weakly.

Zhou Buqi said: "First invest for 3 years, 100 million per year."

Wang Haoyang was dumbfounded.

Everyone else panicked too.

Invest 100 million a year?

Is Ziweixing so rich?

He Yang tentatively asked: "Shall we start financing?"

"No."

Zhou Buqi shook his head.

Wang Haoyang murmured, "The funds are not enough, right? Even if we sell Qihoo's stock, it's still far from enough."

Zhou Buqi couldn't help laughing when he saw his dejected look, "Old Wang, can you cheer up? Isn't it just to spend some money, as for you?"

"Where did the money come from? Our budget for this year is 150 million! This is still basic expenses. I have dozens of application forms a day, and they all require money. I am almost a criminal."

"I'll take care of the money matter."

Zhou Buqi has already talked about this, and Wang Haoyang can't object anymore, coughing lightly: "If this is the case... I think Ziweixing's annual budget should reach 300 million."

He Yang's eyes widened: "Are you a lion?"

Wang Haoyang said bitterly: "There is no way, financial work is difficult, especially Friends.com and Dongfang Weidian, they are both ancestors."

Zhang Yiming coughed, "We are also applying for normal project funds."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said angrily: "Okay, 300 million is 300 million! Lao Wang, you have to remember that the core role of finance is to be valuable to the business. Finance should drive business! If finance If you only do internal control and risk control, and finance only do stingy and cost-saving things, then it will cause harm to the business.”

"What about the money?"

"Taobao signed a new contract, Friends.com also started accepting advertisements in the second half of the year, group buying is getting better and better, clothing lines and cosmetics lines are also going to be opened...an annual income of 200 to 300 million is not a big problem."

Wang Haoyang said: "That's not enough to make ends meet!"

Zhang Yiming added: "Social games are doing well, maybe they can form an effect. The foreign exchange of friends buying and selling is nearly 8,000 US dollars from South Korea. Grabbing parking spaces can be promoted to more countries. Once it enters the US market, it will have huge potential. Business."

Wang Haoyang shook his head.

Please, that's 8000, not 80 million!

He didn't think that the tens of millions of financial shortfalls could be made up by relying on small social games.

Guo Pengfei said: "There is also Taobao's commission-based advertising alliance, which has great potential. This semester is enough, we can cultivate user habits first. Next semester, Weimi.com can realize it."

Zhou Buqi waved his hands and said proudly: "I have a hundred solutions to the money matter, so don't worry about it. The distributed database is no problem, so let's move on to the next topic, which is to implement the five table system. "

"Five watches?"

"Yes, the company is getting bigger and bigger, and it is difficult for the bottom-level employees to be as mission-driven as the top-level employees. They must understand where they are and the benefits they can get."

Then, Zhou Buqi talked about his five table ideas——

"First, the organizational structure table, which allows employees to clearly understand the future development direction of the organization."

"Second, the job analysis form should clearly tell employees what to do."

"Third, the salary incentive table should clearly tell employees how much they can get after work."

"Fourth, the performance appraisal form. It is necessary to clearly tell employees the standard of getting money for good or bad work."

"Fifth, the promotion standard table, it is necessary to clearly tell employees how to be promoted."

He Yang is an expert in management, and raised his eyebrows, "Why is it a bit like the management concept promoted by McCarthy Company? They said three tables, let's make five tables?"

"Really?" Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, "Maybe the hero sees the same thing."

Wang Haoyang said: "Well, I think this idea is very good. The management system is clear and transparent, which can greatly improve management efficiency. If you ask McCarthy for a consultation, it will cost 10 million at least."

Well, this buddy took advantage of money.
