The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 1401 Descendants of India

So here comes the question, what exactly did Satya Nadella do that would cause the dignified Microsoft to be unable to block even its own back door?

In fact, I didn't do any big things, I just did what every Indian would do.

Yes, Satya Nadella is an Indian. Like countless Indians who are executives in Silicon Valley, Satya Nadella had a tragic childhood, that is, he was born in India and was not the highest caste Brahmin, but the next level of Kshatriya.

As a high-caste Satya Nadella, he had to immigrate to the United States with his parents and lived a life of ordinary people. It should not be too tragic.

And Satya Nadella understood the importance of reading since he was a child, so with his hard work, he joined Microsoft in 1992, and then he was promoted all the way within Microsoft, and was finally designated as the once ranked second, now ranked First, he will take over Microsoft smoothly in the future and become the third CEO of Microsoft.

As I said before, Satya Nadella made mistakes that all Indians make.

Well, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the kind of mistake that would be shot in China, that is to say, it can't be said to be a mistake, but a very outstanding strategy.

Indians like to hug groups and like to support their own people.

Anyone who has worked in a technology company in the United States knows that Indians are the most group-loving ethnic group in the United States. Once a company recruits an Indian or an Indian employee, the employee will continuously recommend colleagues to the company. for others of Indian origin.

And as long as such a recommendation is successful once, then the company will have two Indian employees, then it will become four, and then it will become eight.

Because the employees of Indian origin are relatively hard-working, the most important thing is to be obedient, and never make any suggestions that the boss does not want to hear, and obey the boss unconditionally.

After all, this is their excellent national character cultivated under the caste system for thousands of years. The boss also likes this kind of character very much, so he doesn't mind the fact that there will be a large number of Indians in his company.

Anyway, Indians are easier to use than proud whites, clumsy blacks, and taciturn Chinese.

And when there are enough Indian employees in a company, these employees will try their best to concentrate their efforts on recommendations, and several of them will become the company's middle management.

And this middle-level management will try every means to attract more bottom-level employees into the company, and a larger number of bottom-level employees will promote the birth of more middle-level management. Under such a virtuous circle, it is natural for Indian high-level born.

In the end, more and more Indians will fill the entire company, and it will become very difficult for the boss to kill an Indian executive, because it will offend most of the company's employees.

Satya Nadella is the best beneficiary of this method. With his efforts, the proportion of Indians in Microsoft has increased from the original 3% to the current 28%, and nearly 1/3 of the employees are Indian, Satya Nadella's successor status is naturally as stable as Mount Tai.

However, there are only so many positions in the company, and more and more Indian employees come in, which will naturally crowd out the same number of employees of other ethnicities.

And Indians are very smart, they will not choose to take the lead in teasing those white employees, after all, strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes, let alone they are not strong dragons at all.

It is also difficult for black employees to move, because it is actually very difficult for black employees to enter high-tech companies, and those who can enter are rare.

With the continuous development of various black rights movements, all technology companies need to make their corporate colors look richer, and blacks have become a must-have embellishment in the company. The number may not be so many, but it must reach one. The minimum standard, otherwise the company will be condemned by public opinion.

Therefore, there are not many black employees who can’t move, so there are more Chinese employees than Indians in number, but they are taciturn, don’t like grouping very much, and are even afraid of being robbed of their jobs by outstanding compatriots. It has become the best object of crowding.

A large number of Indian employees have squeezed out the positions of Chinese employees, which is why the number of Chinese in Silicon Valley has been decreasing in the past ten years.

We must know that at the peak around 2000, Chinese technicians in Silicon Valley accounted for 24% of the total, and Silicon Valley also has a large number of Chinese executives, whether it is Apple, Microsoft, or other companies, Chinese are a minority The mainstream among the ethnic groups, it can be said that the entire Silicon Valley was born with the outstanding efforts and dedication of Chinese-American technicians, while Indian-Americans were still a group with a strong sense of existence at that time.

The same was true of Microsoft at that time. Take the Windows XP system that Microsoft is most proud of, for example, it was born under the joint development of a group of mainly Chinese engineers. The middle level, but he has no chance to participate in the development of Windows XP.

However, in recent years, as Satya Nadella has continuously brought in Indian employees, and then replaced Chinese positions.

Almost all the employees who developed Windows XP at the beginning have been driven away, and now these positions are filled by Indians. Windows8 and Windows 10 were developed under the leadership of these people.

Of course, it cannot be said that there is anything wrong with this. After all, it is normal for a new generation to replace an old one.If this bad incident hadn't erupted this time, then Satya Nadella would have been able to become Microsoft's new CEO smoothly until now.

But now, a crisis that has never erupted in another world has emerged, and Microsoft urgently needs to put a patch on the back door to prevent such a bad situation from continuing.

But the problem is that Microsoft suddenly found that it couldn't find anyone who could patch this backdoor.

As I said before, this backdoor is directly built on the infrastructure of the Windows system, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve such an exaggerated function.

The first to add this backdoor was naturally the Windows XP system, so this backdoor was also developed under the auspices of those Chinese engineers.

Although two systems, windows8 and windows10, were launched later, these two systems actually use the basic architecture of Windows XP. After all, countless facts have proved that the architecture of Windows XP is the most stable system architecture, which means that you can hardly see it. The system structure of the blue screen, this is something unimaginable in the era of windows95 and windows98. At that time, if the computer system did not have a blue screen once or twice a day, you would feel as if you had never been on the Internet.

So now when it is necessary to fill in the back door, these Indian engineers are now dumbfounded. All along, they have been doing various decoration work on the original system architecture. Now you ask them to toss the entire infrastructure. , and then come up with a patch that can block the back door without affecting the stability of the framework, and ask to come out within a week, sorry, even if you kill these Indian engineers, you can’t do it Yes, you have to let them spend at least one or two months to understand the entire architecture from beginning to end, review the millions of lines of code, and tens of millions of lines of code comments.

As a result, Satya Nadella became the incumbent, and it was only natural for the CEO to find out that he was the target of anger, and the company also felt extremely desperate about its own future because of the crisis encountered by Microsoft.

Originally, they also counted on being able to release patches quickly so that Microsoft could get out of the quagmire in time, and they might still have a chance to keep their high-paying jobs.

But Satya Nadella completely cut off their possibility. In addition, there are many employees of other ethnicities who are full of dissatisfaction with Indians. Naturally, they will be crazy about Satya Nader. Ra vented his anger.

What about Indians within the company?
Well, after an emergency group meeting, these people agreed that the existence of Satya Nadella will only continue to cause Indian employees to be discriminated against and persecuted within Microsoft.

It would be better for them to take the initiative to cut with Satya Nadella, so that they can stand with other agreed employees and avoid suspicion. Although it may be necessary to sacrifice Satya Nadella, but fortunately only need Sacrificing him alone without sacrificing other Indian employees is the most beneficial outcome for the entire group.

Ever since, within Microsoft, Satya Nadella has changed overnight from Microsoft's prince to a character that dogs like now.

It's just amazing that Microsoft did not fire Satya Nadella. On the contrary, it announced urgently a few days later that the current CEO Steve Ballmer resigned from the position of Microsoft CEO due to physical reasons and was replaced by Satya Nadella took over as CEO of Microsoft as a matter of course.

This decision seems to indicate that Satya Nadella has not been disliked by shareholders, and his position at Microsoft should be restored quickly.

But in fact, even if he took over as CEO, Satya Nadella has fallen into a state of complete isolation. He, the CEO of Microsoft, is about to give orders to his secretary.

Because everyone knows very well that in fact, Satya Nadella's appointment this time is not because the board of directors still trusts him, but because the board of directors understands that Microsoft, which cannot even come up with backdoor patches, is doomed to have a bright future. With huge compensation, and even legal liability.

So Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, is naturally the best person to take the blame.When the case breaks out, it is the best choice to push all the faults and problems to Satya Nadella, who has been managing the program development, so that at least the safety of other executives and the board of directors can be kept, isn’t it? Isn't it the wisest decision?
