The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 586
In the next few days, Ye Qiu kept holding meetings with Eliza Moon, Sheryl Sandberg, and the heads of various departments of Leaf Technology to discuss a series of matters concerning the company's internal reforms, especially It is a reform of the management model.

For Ye Qiu's analysis of the problems that Leaf Technology may encounter in the future, all the executives basically affirmed it. After all, with the emergence of Leaf Technology's leading position in the smartphone market, as long as there is a little knowledge It is not difficult for anyone to see the potential problems of Leaf Technology in the future.

Regarding the reform of the management model, the executives basically gave an affirmative answer. After all, Leaf Technology has encouraged innovation before, but what Ye Qiu is doing now is to further flatten the company's management on the basis of the past. Further encourage employees to actively innovate according to their own interests and hobbies.

But the details of the reforms are a problem.

The two companies that are most talked about by the outside world in terms of management are Amazon, which is famous for its two pizza culture.

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, put forward the principle of two pizzas, that is, during a meeting, the number of people should not be so large that two pizzas are not enough for them to eat, because he believes that the more people in a meeting, the more people Miscellaneous, but not good.

And for the same reason, when measuring the size of a team, they also use two pizzas as the measurement standard, that is, when two pizzas cannot feed a project team, the team is too big and must be fed one into two.

According to the serving size of two pizzas, a group is most suitable for about six or seven people.

This is somewhat mandatory, and at the same time, a bit excessive and even stubborn. It is a deliberate move to pursue a small team. In fact, after several years of development, Amazon has indeed become the most important high-tech company in the world. One, but in terms of innovation ability, he doesn't have something too impressive.

There is another company, Google. Google has always been a company that advertises free work, but in fact, this is a utopian dream that cannot exist at all. Office politics and battles between departments have all become Google Some important issues of internal management of the company.

So many people say that Google is no longer a start-up company, but has become a bloated and faltering hierarchical organization. On the surface, they encourage employees to innovate, but in fact, it is related to their core business. The field becomes very bureaucratic.

For example, Dodgeball, which was acquired by Google in 2005, is a mobile service provider that specializes in providing text messages for users to send and locate their location. Architecturally, this makes the company's services unrecognizable, and every time they make even a tiny functional change, they need to go through several levels of leadership approval to complete.

The same situation also appeared in some other companies acquired by Google. At the beginning of the acquisition, they were all hello, me, hello, everyone, but soon, they faced the end of being forcibly integrated.

At the same time, Google is also notoriously disregarding the value of talent, otherwise there would be a joke that Page and Brin went out to sea on a yacht, lying on the deck, basking in the sun, smoking cigars, holding employees I am proud to say that so-and-so is the general manager of a large multinational group and has an MBA degree from Harvard University, but now he is doing a low-level job with no technical content in Google.

This must be said that one of the principles of Google's hiring is that they only hire smart people because they encourage innovation.

Everyone knows that this is actually a stealth concept.

Of course, Google's salary is indeed very high, and the company's treatment is also very good, but this does not mean that Google's internal management is good.

When Ye Qiu was negotiating with the company's executives, he repeatedly emphasized the value of talents and the further liberalization of company management, so that everyone can freely engage in various researches according to their own interests, but this is not the case. It does not mean that Leaf Technology is going to go to Amazon, or to take the route of Google.

According to Ye Qiu, the management of Leaf Technology should still be based on the principle of moderation.

In other words, it is necessary to further release the creativity of employees and give each player the power to freely decide what he wants to do, but this needs to be established on the premise that it does not affect his job and the development of the company.

If everyone is doing what they are interested in, who will do the company's business?
Therefore, it is also necessary to have a transparent and fair management model. After all, if you adopt a too laissez-faire approach, you will end up raising slackers, and everyone will become lazy, so the company needs to have a set of transparent, fair and just performance evaluation model, and a modest set of management models.

In Ye Qiu's idea, it is to give employees more free space and time to arrange independently, let them do what they like to do, and the company gives maximum support to employees' innovation, not only allowing you to work during working hours Do it, and give you resources, human and financial resources to help you do it, and more importantly, allow you to make mistakes.

Any employee can freely choose to set up a research project of his own interest after finishing his job and the projects arranged by the company, or join other people's research projects. Inventions, creations and returns to the company, give employees some generous rewards in return.

But all of this is based on a set of basic management models of the company.

People in any part of the world or any country are the same, and they all need management. Especially for a company with [-] employees, if it loses management, the company will collapse completely. Therefore, self-discipline and discipline must be They complement each other, there is no freedom without discipline, this is the principle of moderate freedom conceived by Ye Qiu.

Another point is that Ye Qiu wants to create a management system that is completely open and transparent to everyone in the company, that is to say, who is punished or who is rewarded, as well as the progress of each project, the performance and contribution of each employee The degree and so on, will appear on the internal management platform, and everyone can see it clearly.

This is a big project, and everyone who participated in this meeting knows that, but if this big project is done well, it will further stimulate the creativity and innovation capabilities of Leaf Technology. It has become the most popular high-tech enterprise in the world in [-]. Now, if we continue to reform the internal management, it will definitely attract more talents and entrepreneurs to join us. After all, they can get what other big companies cannot provide in Leaf Technology. Great support.

However, there is still a problem with Ye Qiu's promotion. After the meeting, Eliza Moon and Shirley Sandberg raised Ye Qiu, that is, the management .

To put it bluntly, the so-called principle of moderate freedom is the same as the moderate openness of the Android system, and the reason why the Android system adopts moderate openness is that the core power is ultimately in the hands of Leaf Technology, and Leaf Technology determines the future of the Android system. And fate, other licensors are unable to challenge this authority.

The same is true for moderate freedom. The management decides everything about the company. If the management is not good or there are problems, the future of the company will also face collapse. A subsidiary of the purpose, this is too dangerous.

But Ye Qiu thinks very clearly that whether it is a moderately free internal personnel management model or self-attack, if you decentralize power, or disperse it, such as going public, or attract some other shareholders, it is impossible to succeed, because no matter it is Whether you go public or introduce shareholders, you must guarantee their interests, that is, guarantee the company's existing income and interests.

It is impossible for Microsoft to carry out self-attacking innovations. The reason is very simple. Once this kind of innovation appears, Microsoft shareholders are the first to shoot it, because this will cause all the benefits they have gained from Microsoft to disappear. Who would give up such a large piece of fat? Meat?
He can only do this when Ye Qiu is the property of Ye Qiu alone, and he must ensure that the entire management of the company can implement his ideas and concepts, because this is a kind of Top-down leadership and reform.

Therefore, regarding the selection and appointment of management personnel, Ye Qiu appointed Eliza Moon. He believed that an attitude of preferring shortages should be adopted to ensure that the company's internal reforms could continue.

When Ye Qiu launched a vigorous wave of internal management reforms for Leaf Technology, there was no news from the outside world. No one knew that something big was going on inside Leaf Technology that would affect Leaf Technology for decades to come. Everyone is just paying attention to the latest ultrabook announced by Leaf Technology.

The Zeus mobile phone was launched in 2006, and the tablet computer was launched in 2009. Now in 2010, Leaf Technology began to release news. The company will focus on launching a deformable touch ultrabook next.

This product will use the Android system. It has a very thin shape and a screen larger than a tablet computer, reaching [-] inches. This is also to further draw a boundary with the tablet computer. Therefore, the ultrabook touch screen of Leaf Technology will be relatively large, and even larger screens may be launched in the future.

Among the news released by Leaf Technology, the most concerned is the series of huge changes made by the Android system after entering the ultrabook field, such as touch visualization, that is, when you tap the screen, a gray circle will appear. The point flashes, so that you can clearly see which area you clicked, which is very necessary for large-screen touch. Of course, users can also choose whether to want this design.

There is also a multitasking interface displayed on the screen at the same time, that is, the so-called windowing of the APP, which allows you to do multiple things on the touch screen at the same time. These are obviously some measures for the further PCization of the Android system, and this is also It proved to be a series of major innovations that Leaf Technology challenged Microsoft.

There are also some small innovations, such as the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard, which are for the convenience of text input. After all, Leaf Technology also has its own Office software, and it is free.

Judging from the series of innovations announced by Leaf Technology, it is obvious that this ultrabook is positioned as a large-screen touch experience, rather than an extension of the PC side that Microsoft has been proclaiming for the past one or two years. The former will be dominated by Microsoft, while the former is Leaf Technology's absolute initiative and advantage.

Therefore, when the major innovation of Leaf Technology was announced, it immediately caused an uproar all over the world. Almost everyone believed that as long as Leaf Technology launched an ultrabook, Microsoft would completely fail in the field of notebooks, because in the introduction of Leaf Technology, Ultrabooks will also be integrated with mobile phones and tablets, and can share applications and various resources in the Android store.

With this big weight and weapon, ultrabooks will have a foothold.

More importantly, the design of the ultrabook has made everyone see a subversive innovation that shines brightly, that is, the screen interface adopts a tile mode similar to the previous WIN8, with a flat design, while the appearance is abandoned. The previous Microsoft Surface design that Qiu admired before adopted a 12-degree flip design similar to the previous Dell XPS180, allowing ultrabooks to switch back and forth between notebooks and tablets.

This is also an internal decision of Leaf Technology. Originally, Ye Qiu planned to use the Surface design, but another group of people made another design, and everyone thought the latter was better, so they adopted this design. .

Although the 180-degree flip design is a bit similar to Dell, the design of the entire notebook is all from the handwriting of Jonathan Ivey. The ultra-thin design is very beautiful, graceful and natural, and the operation of the system is also very smooth. It supports ten-point touch with both hands. This is also a brand new patented technology of Leaf Technology.

In addition to these major innovations that are eye-catching and satisfy consumers’ appetites, Zeus ultrabooks are very satisfactory in terms of performance, smooth operation, and touch sensitivity. Next, Leaf Technology will continue to take advantage of these advantages It was announced to the outside world that the CPU uses a brand-new Intel architecture processor specially designed for ultrabooks, and the battery also has some patented technologies of Leaf Technology to ensure battery life.

Although the price and parameters of the Zeus ultrabook have not been announced yet, but only after the announcement of several major innovations, this brand new product has aroused great repercussions and attention all over the world. Zeus mobile phones and Zeus tablets are popular Sales have made this ultrabook a much-anticipated brand new product.

According to Leaf Technology's plan, this product will be officially launched in January 2011, and in the next six months, Leaf Technology will also focus on this brand new product and several new products that will also be launched in January 2011. We will carry out publicity and marketing activities for other products, and strive to achieve global simultaneous listing.

When Ye Qiu made great efforts in the United States to launch the technological reform of Leaf and launched an attack on Microsoft, Manchester United beat Inter Milan led by Jose Mourinho 1-0 at the Bernabéu Stadium, and got Ferguson's career milestone. Second Champions League title.

And with the end of the UEFA Champions League, the European transfer market has also begun to unfold like a raging fire, especially for some wealthy teams that want to introduce superstars, it is already relatively late to enter the transfer market.

After Manchester City fired Mark Hughes, Mancini took office for half a year, and his performance was quite satisfactory, so the summer transfer will be carried out in full accordance with Mancini's wishes, and the Italian will make changes to the current Manchester City lineup. remodel.

Mancini wants a left-back at the back and van der Vaart in midfield, De Rossi in Roma and James, who was so good at Aston Villa last season. Milner, these are the hottest top figures in the transfer market, and on the front line, Robinho wants to go, and Mancini is looking at Atletico Madrid's Aguero.

Full play and full calculation, Manchester City will continue to invest this season, because it is said that Mancini promised the management of the board of directors that as long as he continues to invest more and introduce players needed by the team, he will lead Manchester City to the top four in the league in the new season. He led the team to win the League Cup this season, which was a very good start.

In addition to Manchester City, West Ham United also intends to reorganize. Ranieri is not very satisfied with Berbatov. He wants to introduce another powerful scorer, including Inter Milan's Milito and Real Madrid's Higua In, Valencia's Villa, and Atletico Madrid's Aguero, but the first choice is Tottenham Hotspur's top scorer Falcao.

The Colombian center became the winner of the European Golden Boot last season and is the hottest top center in football today. He has received high interest from teams including Real Madrid, West Ham United, Newcastle, Liverpool, etc., but Tottenham is hot. Spurs have consistently refused to negotiate a move for Falcao, repeatedly saying the player is not for sale.

Originally, there was another center that attracted much attention, that is Liverpool's Torres, but with the entry of the Indian consortium and the retention of Benitez, Liverpool also tried their best to keep Torres, and at the same time, they will spend real money to further strengthen the team It is said that Benitez has made a transfer list, and his most important frontcourt signings, the number one target is Tottenham Hotspur's David Silva.

The Spaniard was once Benitez's signing target, but he rejected Liverpool at the time, but the situation is completely different now. Liverpool now has enough financial resources to build a more competitive team and lineup. In this case, Benitez wanted to poach David Silva's thoughts resurfaced.

There is also news that Benitez wants to introduce Robinho from Manchester City, but the Brazilian international has repeatedly expressed his unwillingness to stay in the UK. Once Robinho cannot be won, I heard that Benitez will specialize in Bayern Munich. Robben.

Newcastle, another local tycoon team in the Premier League, returned to the Premier League under the leadership of the native English coach Redknapp. In the first year, they set out a transfer budget of [-] million euros. The players they want to introduce include Drogba, Ibrahimovic, David Villa, Falcao and other superstars strive to stay in the Premier League in the first season.

With all the local tyrants targeting Tottenham Hotspur one after another, coupled with the traditional giants such as Real Madrid who are eyeing them, Tottenham Hotspur fans are guessing. Will the team bleed again in the summer, and will it affect the team's combat effectiveness.

In fact, after Ye Qiu returned to London from the United States, he gave Peter Kenyon instructions on the transfer operation, and it was up for grabs.

This is also his strategy for managing Tottenham Hotspur all the time. There is no player who cannot be sold. The key is whether you can come up with the bargaining chip and price to convince me.
