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

Chapter 109: There can only be one voice among the three parts

After formulating and clarifying the development route and direction of MIOS, Chen Mo pulled himself out of the work and focused on the integration of the three current departments.

If we regard the three parts as a program being executed, he is the one who DEBUGs (program debugging mode, used for troubleshooting).

He needs to pay attention to the breakdown of the work plan, the rationality of the allocation of each task group, the analysis of work intensity, follow-up of key nodes, etc.

As mentioned before, to be the boss, in addition to paying the bill, you also have to be willing to delegate power.

Now he is carrying out the second step.

Focus on the big and let go of the small, and delegate power to give full play to the subjective initiative of the core members of the department.
Let go of what you can let go of, and find a way to let go of what you can’t let go of.

Of course, letting go does not mean completely abandoning it. Otherwise, if it is allowed to play freely, the department will lose control in the long run.

He only needs to control the core people and core matters. As the person who controls the overall situation, he knows clearly what work each person is responsible for and the general technical implementation.

Of course, if there are some emergencies or things that need to be tackled, Chen Mo will take the lead and solve them himself or coordinate resources.

Now MIOS has entered a smooth road, and there is no competitor in the market that can compete with it. As long as you don't mess with the steering wheel, the rest is left to the accelerator, but how far you can go depends on how much fuel you have.

Therefore, the department needs a lot of fresh blood, and Xiaomi began to increase its recruitment efforts.

On a weekend in mid-July, with the joint efforts of the original three departments in their spare time, the Zhiyan Forum was finally launched.

The entire Zhiyan Forum is very concise, with only five modules: Zhiyan and Zhiyu, Career Circle, Colleague Circle, Corporate Red and Black List, and User Center.

Then Chen Mo asked everyone to find some workplace cases on the Internet. As a result, everyone could find many classic cases by just searching, such as:
"It's almost time to get off work, but the idiot boss insisted on holding an emergency meeting after get off work! Doesn't he have any family?"

"I do the most work in the group and have the best skills, so why did I fail this promotion? Why did that busty female colleague get the promotion?"

“Can’t Beijing Metro Line 13 add a few more trains? It’s so crowded every day.”

"I work from 9 to 5 every day. I feel like I'm going to be useless if I stay in a state-owned enterprise like this. A private company offers double the salary. Should I go into business?"

Chen Mo summarized several hundred posts, and then polished them a little and imported them into the Zhiyan Forum as initial data. He then made a small script that randomly displayed a few posts at random times in the future to create the illusion that someone was playing tricks.

Afterwards, he called Zhang Changfa, who had launched an all-out attack, and asked him to promote the Zhiyan Forum downstairs of IT companies in first- and second-tier cities across the country.

After the communication, he sent a sample of the flyer to the other party's email address and transferred another sum of money.

We can also apply Xiaomi's sensitive word verification and processing mechanism to Zhiyan, so we don't have to worry about 404 errors.

In the end, the copyright belongs to Zodiac Studio, which was the original developer of Zhiyan.
After doing all this, Chen Mo just let it go and let it grow wildly.

In the following time, Chen Mo felt like Super Wings when working at Xiaomi. He would always get the job done wherever help was needed.

Since the merger of the second and third parts, the original MIUI iteration was changed from one version per week to the current MIOS iteration per month.

Huang Jiangji and product manager Hong Feng have accumulated a lot of suggestions from users. After repeated discussions and communications, they selected nearly 100 pertinent suggestions from thousands of user suggestion posts.

When the two handed the document to Chen Mo for review, they originally thought that Chen Mo would spend a day looking at it, but he gave feedback in half an hour. This made Hong and Huang look at each other in surprise. This guy's efficiency is a bit scary.

Then he opened the document and saw that most of the hundreds of suggestions had been crossed out by Chen Mo, and only a dozen were left.

There are only results but no reasons.

The two of them were a little confused and wanted to ask Chen Mo for an explanation. Upon seeing this, the latter directly held a small meeting with the two of them.

Chen Mo got straight to the point, "Users' opinions are important! Not important, it depends on the situation. Out of selfish considerations, users only think about things from their own personal perspective, but when we build a system, we need to consider the overall situation.

Some advice is advice, some advice is poison, I will only explain this to you two this once."

As he spoke, Chen Mo opened the original requirements document of the two people and briefly explained why this one should be abandoned and why this one should be adopted.
One hour later, Huang Jiangji and Hong Feng were persuaded by Chen Mo.

“After adopting user suggestions, the announcement after going online should include the suggestion from XX user and thank him/her, and reward corresponding badges and points.”

Before leaving, Chen Mo told Hong Feng, "When we design features and make optimizations, we must always keep in mind two questions: Why do we do this? What will it bring to users? Also, remember that all changes should be based on stability. Do not cause major online bugs. This is a zero-tolerance thing."

Hong Feng nodded to show that he understood.

Watching the two people go out to do their work, Chen Mo was quite satisfied with their performance just now. This was also the effect he wanted to achieve, that is, only one voice was allowed in the three parts.

To put it more bluntly, it’s just what Huang Xiaoming said: I don’t care what you think, I only care what I think. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a dictatorship.

Perhaps for other leaders, paranoia and dictatorship are not good things, because if there is a slight mistake in the above strategy, it is easy to make a big mistake. But for the reborn Chen Mo, this situation does not exist at all, so this is the most efficient way!

In fact, the current version of MIOS still has many defects.

Firstly, since the original three departments were indeed short of staff, they only worked on the basics and surfaces of several large modules. Some time ago, everyone was just shocked by the advanced design and concept.

It cannot withstand detailed scrutiny, as can be seen from the fact that MIOS's score on the Android custom system rating list recently dropped from 9.8 to 9.3.

Now is the stage of cultivating inner strength, and we must thoroughly develop each functional point one by one!
The second purpose is to leave space for users to actively put forward suggestions, participate in the process, make friends with users, and form a fan group, namely Mi fans.

This scene is just a microcosm of Chen Mo's working style during this period. Many problems come to Chen Mo, no matter whether they are related to technology, products, operations, or testing, Chen Mo can basically solve them on the spot. If they cannot be solved, he will coordinate resources to tackle the problems collectively, striving to overcome them in the shortest time possible, with extremely high efficiency.

Every half a month, Chen Mo will take the lead in sharing some technologies that everyone is interested in, and form a long-term mechanism for voluntary registration, sharing, and participation.

The students in the third department are experiencing a rapid increase in their favorability towards their leader.

Soon Chen Mo won the trust of everyone in the three departments.
As time passed, everyone united again around the Net Three with Chen Mo as the center, and condensed into the True Three!
