Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 107 Promoted to Co-founder of Xiaomi

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Lei Jun convened an impromptu meeting of Xiaomi co-founders.

When each participant came in, they found a familiar stranger sitting on Lei Jun’s right.

I say he is familiar because I see him every day at work, but I say he is unfamiliar because this is the first time I see him in a meeting of this level.

Seeing that everyone was present, Lei Jun began his opening remarks, "I have good news to announce to everyone. Chen Mo, manager of the Internet Department 3, has been promoted to co-founder of Xiaomi. Welcome everyone."

Applause broke out. Everyone had obviously expected this news, after all, everyone knew what happened today.

It is only natural for Chen Mo to become the co-founder of Xiaomi.

But Lei Jun's next words surprised everyone.

"Student Chen Mo invested 300 million US dollars in the company in his personal name. He is currently the second largest shareholder of our company. Please be aware of this."

Huang Jiangji looked at the expressionless Chen Mo and couldn't understand how this guy, who was usually low-key and could wear a plaid shirt for half a month, could be a rich second-generation.

Li Wanqiang was in a state of uncertainty, because he suddenly realized that he no longer had any advantage against Chen Mo, and was even at an absolute disadvantage.

The most shocked person was Lin Bin. At noon, he was talking with Lei Jun about his shares not exceeding 10%. How come in just one afternoon, he went from the third to the fourth in terms of shares?
Everyone present was re-evaluating and measuring Chen Mo's position in the company.

"Next, please let Chen Mo say a few words."

Applause broke out again. At least everyone did a good job on the surface.

Chen Mo clasped his hands together to express his gratitude. He did not make a long speech, but simply expressed his views briefly.
What do you mean we are all colleagues who know each other well?
What about uniting around the Xiaomi core team centered around Lei Jun and doing our best for the development of Xiaomi?
Then the topic of the meeting came up. As usual, everyone talked about the content they were responsible for and the issues they encountered that needed to be discussed.

Finally, Lei Jun announced the company's adjustments, which was the merger of the second and third departments, with Chen Mo in charge and Huang Jiangji as deputy.

Since the original Department 2 was merged into Department 3, after the adjustment, the company only has Internet Department 1 and Internet Department 3, and the middle Department 2 is vacant.

Because Xiaomi decided to abandon the traditional channel sales method and adopt its own e-commerce platform for self-production and self-sales, it omitted the intermediaries such as distributors and retailers and saved costs.

Lei Jun appointed Li Wanqiang as the manager of the Internet Department 2, responsible for the construction, mobile layout and marketing of Xiaomi's own e-commerce platform Xiaomi.com, laying the foundation for the subsequent sales of Xiaomi mobile phones.

As soon as the appointment was announced, everyone knew that Li Wanqiang had been demoted from a vassal king who previously commanded three armies to a general in charge of a single force.

After all, his recent performance has been firmly suppressed by Chen Mo, which is understandable.

Li Wanqiang accepted the order sadly.

Then after discussion, the appointments of individual core members were adjusted. Chief designer Liu De, who was originally supposed to be merged into Department 3, was assigned to Department 1 and was responsible for the styling design of Xiaomi mobile phones.

Finally, Xiaomi Technology's organizational structure is as follows:
Internet Department 1, Department Manager: Zhou Guangping, Product Designer: Liu De
Responsible for Xiaomi mobile phone design, R&D, assembly and hardware supply chain.

Internet Department 2, Department Manager: Li Wanqiang
Responsible for e-commerce and marketing business.

Internet Department 3, Department Manager: Chen Mo, Deputy Manager: Huang Jiangji, Product Manager: Hong Feng
Responsible for the research and development of Xiaomi MIOS mobile phone system.

As soon as the meeting concluded, the current power division in Xiaomi has become very clear.

Xiaomi's original three giants are still the three giants, but the members have changed.

Chairman & Founder & Major Shareholder: Lei Jun is responsible for overall coordination.

President & fourth largest shareholder: Lin Bin mainly follows up Zhou Guangping’s hardware and overall technical team.

Manager of the third department & second largest shareholder: Chen Mo is the top person in the software field.

Manager of the Second Department: Li Wanqiang is responsible for e-commerce platform construction and marketing
After the meeting, some were happy while others were sad.

But there is one thing that everyone has reached a consensus on, that is, Chen Mo's promotion to the top of Xiaomi is an indisputable fact.

Chen Mo now firmly holds the third position in Xiaomi, both in terms of the business he is responsible for and the proportion of shares he holds.

If we ignore his qualifications, he can even surpass Lin Bin and can be called the second in command of Xiaomi.

The meeting was over and it was almost 10 o'clock.

Since we are all shareholders of the company, how can working overtime to attend a meeting be called overtime?
So Chen Mo was generous enough not to care about the insignificant overtime pay. After all, it was his own business.

But when he came out of the meeting room, he saw that many people in the third department were still willing to work overtime, and they were basically all members of the original second department, almost half of them, so he couldn't help but frown. I worked overtime and became a shareholder, so why are you guys joining in the fun? Do you want to be shareholders too?

It seems that inertia will be difficult to overcome for a while.

Chen Mo called Huang Jiangji, "KK, I remember that the tasks I assigned did not require everyone to work overtime. When you get to work tomorrow, count the reasons why these students are working overtime. I want to understand."

".Okay, Mr. Chen!"

"Uh, we're all technicians, don't be so rigid, just call me by my name."

Huang Jiangji nodded.

After Chen Mo returned to his workstation, he clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the people working overtime in the third department, "Everyone, go back early. There is no end to the work. We will continue tomorrow!"

Then, he whispered to Huang Jiangji, "You will take the lead and set an example. MIOS is developing steadily now, and we are not as anxious as before. There is no need to work so hard!"

After saying that, Chen Mo packed up his things and left.

He has thought it through. Good words will not do the trick. He has to rely on rules and regulations. He will establish an overtime approval system, and those who work overtime for abnormal reasons will have their performance deducted.

Of course, he has no control over voluntary self-improvement, learning and sharing in the company. It would be unreasonable to prevent others from making progress.

The last day of June, Wednesday.

As soon as Chen Mo got to work and before he put down his computer, he noticed a strange atmosphere around him. Even the guys from the original three departments looked at him with a bit of awe.

In fact, as soon as he entered the company, he noticed that the manager did not say "Good morning, Mr. Chen!" as usual, but "Good morning, Mr. Chen".

When Chen Mo turned on his computer, he saw an email to all employees sent by Lei Jun, which was about his latest appointment.

He is a shareholder and a co-founder, no wonder everyone has that kind of expression on their faces.

Chen Mo shook his head and looked at other emails to see if there were any agents who could handle it.

Before he could even sit down, he found that Huang Jiangji had sent him an email mentioning the latest news.

Five developers applied for transfer to the second department which was just established last night.

Chen Mo turned around and patted Huang Jiangji. Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, Chen Mo called him to the large conference room next door. After some understanding, he found out that these guys were brought to Xiaomi by Li Wanqiang from Kingsoft, and it was very likely that these guys had been playing tricks in MIUI before.

Chen Mo was delighted after hearing this. "Isn't this a good thing? People with different ideals cannot work together. Apart from those five, do you remember anyone else that Li Wanqiang recruited through interviews?"

"It seems that there are three more people who joined from him, not from Jinshan. However, these three people did not apply for transfer~"

"Give me the list of these eight people later."

"Ok."

"Tell them that if they ask for a job transfer, I'll approve it in a second. Uh, never mind. Let's have a short meeting later. I just want to make an announcement and do this at the same time."

Huang Jiangji looked a little worried, "It's not good to say it in public~"

Knowing that he had good intentions, Chen Mo smiled and said, "It's okay, trust me! Call everyone in."

After saying that, Chen Mo walked directly into the meeting room.

Huang Jiangji accidentally saw that Chen Mo's Weibo nickname on his computer screen was very interesting, which was "Only Turning the Mill for Eight Hours a Day".

This nickname fits his working style quite well.

Then I saw the following certification information: Co-founder of Xiaomi and head of MIOS system.

Huang Jiangji's eyes showed both envy and regret.

Unfortunately, life cannot be repeated.

He sighed secretly and walked into the meeting room.
