I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 464: 230-231: New Adjustments at Gaoling! (4000 words)
Now, as a large technology complex company group with two BGs and four BUs, Hillhouse Group has always had a relatively clear meeting system.

Gao Huaijun has always disliked the format of endless meetings and piles of documents.

So generally speaking, apart from the monthly meetings of each branch, Gao Huaijun basically does not get involved in the specific affairs of each business group.

The project-oriented system that Hillhouse is currently implementing can be said to have achieved its initial goals.

Basically, whether it is Hillhouse Technology or Hillhouse Vehicle, the related operations are basically carried out based on projects.

Each project is independent from each other, and there will not be a situation where one project draws blood from other projects for a long time and all of them eat from the same pot.

Except for some projects that Gao Huaijun has mentioned and which will maintain losses for the sake of long-term profits, such as chip research and development, large model research and development, unmanned driving research and development and other long-term projects, other projects are only allowed to maintain losses for a maximum of about three years.

Continue the evaluation after three years.

Only less than 20% of the cutting-edge fields that have passed the expert comprehensive review meeting will not be cut.

Under such a mechanism, Hillhouse has actually formed a collective decision-making system with project general manager as the core, gradually stripping away some of Gao Huaijun's intuitive decisions.

However, Gao Huaijun suddenly wanted to hold a meeting, and it was a meeting held in the name of the group, which obviously shocked these executives.

How long has it been since there was a senior management meeting held in the name of senior management?
Basically, whether it was Min Weiguo or Wang Fengying, they all came to the president's meeting room with a hint of doubt.

"I called you all here today not because I have nothing to do and want to entertain you. But because there is something very important that I want to discuss with you." Gao Huaijun drank his tea leisurely and spoke slowly.

After Gao Huaijun confirmed the number of participants in Ningyuan, he slowly stated the purpose of the meeting.

At this time, the executives present were even more confused.

Something very important?
Is Hillhouse going to make any big moves?
And all the executives were summoned at once.

"First of all, I want to praise the team of Hillhouse Technology. Now the Xiaoling APP has achieved great success since its launch. As of today, the number of daily active users has reached 2500 million. This is a major breakthrough for Hillhouse Technology BG! We have also taken an important step towards Hillhouse's realization of having the first national-level hit software!"

As he said this, Gao Huaijun smiled slightly.

After that, there was warm applause from the audience!
In the past, when this group of people heard that Gao Huaijun was going to develop a national-level software, they thought he was crazy.

Prestige? QQ?
Is this something that can be done just by wanting to?
Even the company Tingxun has only developed these two national-level chat software after so many years.

Just like that, it was enough to grow Tongxun into one of the three largest Internet companies.

So many people are not optimistic, including other subsidiaries of Hillhouse and even people within Hillhouse Technology.

However, as of today, there are 2500 million daily active users, and with the empowerment of Hillhouse's artificial intelligence, this number of daily active users is still growing rapidly.

A newbie software with no previous experience.

Suddenly became a rising star.

Achieve such results.

This made the executives from other departments look at Min Weiguo and Andrew Ng with envy.

Putting aside other things, now that they have successfully developed this software, the bonuses given to Andrew Ng and Min Weiguo alone will be in the millions.

And now he has both fame and fortune.

Not only did they develop a mobile phone, but they also developed such a popular software.

This makes it easy to leave a name for yourself in society.

On the other side, Min Weiguo and Andrew Ng were also slightly proud.

So many people at Hillhouse Capital were not optimistic about this project, but they still managed to make it a success.

What does this show?

It shows that both of them are awesome!

Now that Hillhouse is becoming more and more famous, they have obtained Gao Huaijun's consent and can appear on TV or accept some interviews.

If it were in the past, how could they be so awesome?
If they had not joined Hillhouse, one would have been just a worker trying to make a living, and the other would have been just an ordinary university professor.

If they are people in the same industry, you can respectfully call them "big brother", but if they are strangers, who will know you?

They actually know in their hearts: it is the platform that makes you successful. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Try leaving the platform.

Just as everyone was thinking about it, Gao Huaijun's expression calmed down, and then he said in a deep voice, "On the surface, our company seems to have a bright future and is rising steadily, but in fact, our company is in a state of suffering. We are born in adversity and die in comfort, comrades!"

When everyone heard what Gao Huaijun said, they were all shocked.

In their view.

Hillhouse is developing very well now!

Hillhouse Technology's market share has risen to the top three in China's electronic technology products, and Hillhouse vehicles are even more amazing, frequently making breakthroughs in areas that were previously dominated by foreign brands. Recently, it launched a car that combines all the best features, the Hillhouse Yangwang, which directly refreshed the sales volume of off-road vehicles to the million level and achieved a qualitative leap.

Although Hillhouse Chip and Hillhouse Artificial Intelligence may seem inconspicuous, the staff inside are moving forward step by step and are now on the verge of a breakthrough. How can Gao Huaijun say that Hillhouse is in a state of crisis?

Could it be that this group of people lacks insight and did not think of some of the angles that Gao Huaijun thought of?
Gao Huaijun looked at them and continued without raising his eyes, "The enemy is inside!"

"The first problem is that we need to make a third internal adjustment within Hillhouse!"

The executives looked at each other.

I don’t know what Gao Huaijun is up to.

Generally speaking, if a company is making money, don't touch it. This is just like the host of your PC. Although it is covered with dust, it can easily become gray-electrical balance if you are not careful.

After you remove the thick layer of dust on top, it is very likely that you will damage a key contact on the host.

The same is true for Hillhouse Capital.

Things are going well now, if you make a fuss about it, it is very likely that things will be worse than before, so why bother?
Gao Huaijun knew very well what these people were thinking. It was normal. They had been staying in their comfort zone for too long and definitely didn't want to move.

"My thoughts are mainly the following points."

Everyone took out paper and pens and prepared to start recording.

It can be seen that Gao Huaijun is really going to make a big move this time! "The first is the lack of product mechanisms to deal with consumer issues. Most of the consumer issues are solved manually."

This was actually observed by Gao Huaijun and is a very important point when Hillhouse started to bureaucratize.

Since Hillhouse has been deeply engaged in the two major fields of automobiles and electronic technology for many years, spanning two completely different categories of industrial products, the platform must be compatible with different types of consumers.

Therefore, when consumers have problems that need to be solved by the marketing department, the marketing department will find that the problems they face are varied. Sometimes a small problem requires the marketing department to pull R&D together for half a day before it can be solved, and this time cannot add points to performance (to put it bluntly, it cannot be written into the summary report).

And when consumers' problems are fed back to the marketing department, they will package the problems together and send them to R&D. In the end, it becomes R&D's business, and in the end, everyone just does it perfunctorily. Then the core problem is still the problem of some provincial super channel dealers.

Because everyone needs these provincial channel partners to provide supply and sales, and do showcases, so that they can write beautiful review reports to report to their superiors.

Therefore, although Gao Huaijun has always emphasized [consumer service awareness and integrating himself into the C-end thinking perspective as much as possible] and tried his best to retain high-quality consumers and prevent competitors from poaching them, front-line marketers and R&D personnel have not taken this matter seriously. Their core concern, especially the focus of R&D, is still on super channel dealers.

The problems that R&D personnel can solve are limited, and it is even more impossible for them to sort out the chaotic problems, form their own conclusions, and then concentrate on public relations.

Perhaps Gao Huaijun could have taken this matter seriously when he emphasized it, but after a gust of wind, things will be like this.

In fact, it’s not their fault.

Human nature is what it is.

However, in the past two years, many consumers, even some old consumers who would make repeat purchases, have suffered serious loss. This is actually a phenomenon that Gao Huaijun saw when the performance was constantly booming.

Although the migration of consumer consumption behavior is a normal phenomenon from a business perspective, from Gao Huaijun's perspective, it is a very dangerous signal!

This means that Hillhouse is actually gradually becoming "broadcast-like", with serious bureaucracy in the later period, and gradually becoming a company similar to those big companies.

“The second is a series of problems caused by reinventing the wheel.”

Because in the past few years, Hillhouse's various business segments have been operating smoothly and have firmly held the top positions among domestic technology-related companies, especially in the field of electronic technology, where it has absolute voice.

Therefore, when expanding its sphere of influence in other fields, it spares no expense and continuously introduces innovative business talents.

Gao Huaijun actually hopes to find bright spots in some areas that he is not familiar with but seems to have heard of.

At this point, he has basically never managed Hillhouse's derivatives company.

So it is easy to see that a similar business will be managed by different departments in different BUs. If it is in a small company, it may be something that can be handled by one department.

One of the problems caused by this phenomenon is the complexity of the reporting mechanism (which is one of the root causes of internal circulation). Everyone does similar things, but everyone wants to stand out, so more time is spent on reporting, and the ways of reporting also become more diverse. "If you don't know how to package it or this format is not good, try using key notes." This format often appears in major project departments.

Gao Huaijun's requirement not to present PPT in meetings is also starting to secretly become popular!
In a word, leadership is needed.

If you don’t make a PPT, how can you make your report clear and organized?

It's difficult, okay!
"Third, positions such as HR and BI are extremely subordinate to their superiors. They have even started to falsify information just to curry favor with their superiors!" At this point, Gao Huaijun slammed his hand on the table, scaring some of the executives below so much that they even dropped their pens.

Gao Huaijun's words were just short of naming names!

The senior executives below all thought that following the company's rules and regulations meant that Gao Huaijun was not in charge of the matter.

Who would have thought that he actually had such a detailed understanding of this business empire.

This is no longer something that can be expressed as shocking, it is simply horrifying.

You know, Hillhouse is a huge empire with a population that has expanded to hundreds of thousands. This is really not a large trust that ordinary people can understand!
Most functional departments serve the boss, but the current situation of Hillhouse is actually very serious.

For example, Hillhouse’s HRG usually has no interaction with the employees below and is not even present when discussing performance.

And she can always be seen going in and out of the department for meetings every day.

Moreover, Hillhouse BI now basically runs data for core senior executives, the data that senior executives want to see.

As a result, many departments will hire a low-P person in the name of business to specifically meet the department's data needs.

When Gao Huaijun heard Li Yinxin talk about this, he couldn't believe his ears.

Is this still the Hillhouse Capital that he founded himself?

Where has the so-called high-level perspective gone?

As Hillhouse expanded, it was also rapidly becoming a large corporation, bureaucratizing, and fawning on superiors, the severity of which was beyond Gao Huaijun's imagination!

Gao Huaijun spoke for half an hour without stopping, and no one dared to interrupt him.

Even some of the senior executives were trembling with fear, and as they wrote, large areas of their white shirts got wet.

They understand now.

Gao Huaijun is really going to do something big this time!
As expected, it’s Gao Huaijun.

When the company is moving forward, it can always create a big show.

"I've decided." When Gao Huaijun said these three words, the executives present couldn't help but pause.

"Starting immediately, HRG and its derivative HR departments will be abolished, and the relevant performance scoring functions will be merged into the administrative department. At the same time, the current HR directly intervening in recruitment-related matters will be changed to talent echelon recruitment, which will be fully responsible by the employer. In the future, I will directly assess the employer's talent qualification rate and elimination rate!"

The first decision is the king bomb!
You know, Hillhouse has 100,000 employees and needs a professional HR team to manage them accordingly.

Otherwise it would be a mess.

But now Gao Huaijun directly dismantled the entire HR department and merged it all into the Administrative Logistics Department, which has become a miscellaneous department. This shows Gao Huaijun's determination to cut off his own arm!

Including the demand and management of talent recruitment in the employer's department will directly make the employer cautious.

If you have questions directly, there is no HR department to protect you. If there are any problems, you will be the one to be held accountable!
At the same time, this also avoids the HR department from intervening too deeply in professional fields.

Professionals do professional things!
At this time, Hillhouse's HRG Wang Liya's face also became very ugly and her face turned slightly pale.

She didn't know why things suddenly turned out like this!

She also doesn't know what her future fate will be!

"The second decision..."
