The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 307 Microsoft's Wisdom

"Mr. Kiade, do you think we should send someone to Shenzhen to take over the entire QQ team? Tenda has already promised us that they are willing to give us the entire team responsible for operating QQ."

"We can directly set up a subsidiary in Shenzhen and rent an office to be responsible for the placement of the team. After all, according to the contract, Tenda will help us maintain it for a month at most. After one month, we, Microsoft, will be responsible for receiving and operating QQ. "After signing the contract with Tengda, Tang Jun suggested to Kiade.

Tang Jun thinks this is a normal suggestion that can no longer be normal. Since the business was bought at a high price, it is natural to accept it as soon as possible.

In addition, the original team must also accept it. Even if you are dissatisfied with the original team, you should use the method of participating in the sand, and replace the team with someone you like bit by bit, otherwise the maintenance of the connected products will not be possible. arrive.

But what Tang Jun never expected was that Kiade actually said, "No, we don't need QQ's original team, so we don't need to send people to connect!"

"Why!" Tang Jun felt that he couldn't understand the other party's thinking. "If we don't accept it, then why do we buy QQ?"

"Don, don't get confused. I didn't say I won't accept QQ. What I don't accept is the QQ team." Kiade said, "As far as I know, there are now more than 120 people in the QQ team, right? Have more than 120 people become regular employees of our Microsoft? Do they have this qualification?"

As soon as Chiad said this, Tang Jun knew the reason why Chiad refused to accept the team, because Microsoft could not accept the original QQ team as a Microsoft employee.

This is not because of how bad the QQ team is, but because of Microsoft's consistent pride.For a long time, there is only one way to join Microsoft, and that is to go through Microsoft's layers of screening, and finally select employees who fully meet Microsoft's values ​​and have full capabilities.

There is no problem in this process itself, but Microsoft attaches great importance to the identity of Microsoft employees, so that they do not accept any employees who join Microsoft through abnormal channels.

Of course, if you can officially join Microsoft, the various benefits are also very powerful. After all, Microsoft is rich, and it really pays more attention to employees, and can give a lot of benefits.

Especially for China, which is still in the period of population welfare at this time, the salary of foreign companies and state-owned enterprises is simply the difference between heaven and hell. Once 120 employees join Microsoft China, the labor cost of Microsoft China for a year may be as high as It is indeed uneconomical to spend tens of millions more.

Therefore, whether it is Microsoft's top management or Microsoft's ordinary employees, they are very resistant to this. From the perspective of the top management, this undermines Microsoft's supreme rules and pedigree, and additional employees will increase additional costs.

From the perspective of ordinary employees, why did I work so hard to get into Microsoft? These people can become Microsoft people just because of acquisitions or other reasons?

This is because of the pride in his bones, so Kiade simply refused to accept the QQ team. These bumpkins want to become a member of Microsoft directly because of the acquisition?
It's just daydreaming, the noble Microsoft will not give them such an opportunity.

"But if we don't accept the QQ team, how can we operate QQ?" Tang Jun asked helplessly.

"Go and discuss with Tenda. Didn't they say that they can take care of it for a month? Then let them work hard and help us take care of it for a longer period of time." Kiade said.

"Then there must be a time limit. It is impossible for others to take care of us forever!" Tang Jun said.

"Well..." Kiade hesitated for a moment, "I don't know the exact time, it depends on how the headquarters sets the final timetable for MSN's entry into China."

"But if we don't give him time, he will definitely not agree!" Tang Jun wanted to roll his eyes.

"It's simple, you can tell Tenda that we can invite them to host for a monthly fee. You can negotiate the price with them, as long as it does not exceed 500 million a month!" Kiade said very simply.

"I'm afraid 500 million a month is not enough!" Tang Jun said, "For their 120 million team, their monthly expenses are only about 40. But this is not a big deal. The real big deal is server maintenance costs and bandwidth costs. I'm afraid the sum of these It’s already more than 500 million yuan, and we have to pay at least 800 million yuan a month before they are willing to take care of us.”

"Why so much money?" Kiad was a little surprised. "Our MSN operates in the world, and no country has reached such a maintenance figure!"

"The main reason is because of the extra QQ space!" Tang Jun said, "QQ space is a very resource-intensive function, and the bandwidth required is also very large. The monthly bandwidth cost exceeds 300 million yuan. These are given by them. We have detailed documents in it, which are very clearly stated, and every expenditure is well-documented, and there will be no problems!"

What Tang Jun never expected was that after he said this, Kiade asked himself, "What is QQ space?"

"..." Tang Jun was stunned for a while, and then spent more than 10 minutes explaining to Kiade in detail what Qzone is.

But what Tang Jun never expected was that Kiade directly said, "Turn off this function, we don't need this useless function that costs a lot of money!"

"No...Mr. Kiade, I think the function of Qzone is still very useful, and the Chinese market is also very popular with Facebook, the competing product of Qzone. I think..."

"Please don't explain any more, Don, does our MSN have a function called MSN Space?" Kiade asked back.

"No...no..." Tang Jun shook his head.

"That's right, since our MSN doesn't have this space function, then QQ space doesn't need it, otherwise, after MSN enters China, this function will still be cut off, because QQ space can't be merged into MSN at all. So Instead of cutting it later, it is better to cut it now, and it can save a lot of money!" Kiade said.

"Mr. Kiade, I think this function of QQ Zone may be a trend in the development of the Internet in the future. In the future, MSN may also be able to add functions such as MSN Zone. Or we can also separate QQ Zone and become a subsidiary of Microsoft China. An independently operated product..." Tang Jun felt that he still needed to fight for Qzone, because he had already been keenly aware of the huge potential of this function that could be released in the future.

This is even a larger and more attractive function than the instant messaging software itself, especially since the original QQ team has transformed Qzone to be almost like Facebook, and it can be a separate product from the existence of QQ.

Anyway, no matter how you do it, it is more practical than cutting off such a function directly.

"Tang, are you teaching me how to do things?" Chiad glared at Tang Jun, Tang Jun immediately closed his mouth, Chiad snorted coldly and said, "Tang, do you think I can't see how much space this QQ has? Potential? However, this kind of thing is not up to us to decide. Let me give you a week, and you can report the function of this Qzone to the MSN project team at the headquarters. If they are interested in this function, they will also If you add an MSN space, then you can keep this function."

"Of course, if you have other abilities to persuade the management of the head office to let them open up a business similar to Qzone, then you can also report to them. As long as you can get the approval of the head office, I have no opinion here!"

"Hehe!" Tang Jun laughed a few times. Tang Jun also worked in the head office for five or six years before he was dispatched to China and became the president of Microsoft China.

He knew very well what the urine sex at the head office was.

Although the head office cannot be said to be static, they have always ignored the requests of non-head office global branches.

If it's an operational requirement, it's better to say something, the head office will more or less handle it.But if there is any suggestion for the product, it will be ignored. It is simply impossible to expect them to make huge changes to the product itself for the request of a branch.

Otherwise, another world MSN has been operating in the Chinese team for 5 years. As a result, what he looked like when he came to China, and what he looked like when he left China. During this period, in addition to version maintenance, a new voice was added. Chat and video chat functionality, other than that almost nothing has changed.

In the same 5 years, QQ launched QQ Show, QQ Game, and Qzone, making QQ an unshakable overlord step by step.

MSN did not follow suit to do anything, because MSN is global in nature, not a product of a single country. The updates of MSN in all regions and versions must follow the version of the headquarters, and the eyes of the headquarters are only Those who can see the US market, but cannot see the bright spots of other countries' markets.

Closer to home, if the request to accommodate the QQ space was sent by an American named Kiade, then the headquarters might still consider it.

But if Tang Jun made this request, it would be 100% lost.

"Why, do you already understand?" Kiade looked at Tang Jun contemptuously. "Although you already understand, then follow my instructions and turn off the function of this QQ space."

"I understand, but I think this is really a pity. Qzone obviously spent nearly [-] million yuan to invite celebrities to stand for them. These contracts have only been carried out for a month or two, and they are all terminated in the end. This is really true. It's too..." Tang Jun was still a little bit reluctant.

"Spend 120 million and still be like this. If you are defeated by the Facebook you are talking about, then there is no need to survive and waste resources. By the way, if the QZone is cancelled, the team of [-] people can also be reduced. More than half, this can save a lot of expenses!" Kiade was very proud, and he felt that he had saved a lot of money for the company.

[I know that this chapter seems to be very smart, but I studied Microsoft's consistent business strategy and found that there is a 95% possibility that Microsoft did what I wrote! 】
