The so-called restraint is to be calm when the data is good, not to burn money beyond the plan, and bravery and recklessness are actually saying the same thing. In fact, Chu Yuanxi didn't do much at this point, but he raised a lot of money, so it looked okay.

Yang Heng and his team actually understand the truth, the problem is how easy it is to really implement? Balance growth and income and expenditure, you say it is very simple, if the upper lip touches the lower lip to control the cost, we have already succeeded in starting a business!

Jian Mo is a very elegant middle-aged man in his forties, he looks like a teacher from the old era, and he is also thinking when he listens to Chu Yuanxi's description. The rapid development of pine nuts has not achieved cost control, and the company's strategy is often adjusted, and the plan must have been made, but there are often internal disagreements when making decisions, which is an important reason for strategic swing.

Strategic swing is a terrible problem, because every rollback leads to confusion in merchandising planning, which in turn creates inventory management problems. The loss rate of fresh food is simply off the charts when there is a problem with inventory, and it is hellish that this cost can be controlled.

According to this logic, Jian Moxin said Could it be that Chu Yuanxi was actually boasting that his plan was doing a particularly good job?

However, in Jianmo's opinion, in fact, the biggest gap between Songzi Duoduo and Xiaokang is APP, Liu Lu has communicated with them, Xiaokang started to develop APP in advance before opening a store. And Songzi Duoduo has been using WeChat mini-programs and WeChat groups to do community operations, which is not interesting.

In the end, due to various problems, the activity of WeChat groups decreased, the reputation plummeted, and the repurchase rate plummeted, which is the fatal reason why it is difficult for enterprises to turn defeat into victory after the cash outflow problem. How this company failed, he knew in his heart.

Time passed very slowly and he thought quickly, but in the rapid thinking, he was suddenly named by Chu Yuanxi, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, I have worked in the United States for six years, and the year before last I found that the opportunity to return to China to start a business was better, and I returned to the country last year." ”

"This is good, Xiaokang is now in urgent need of map research and development resources. Is there a more powerful map development boss to introduce?" Chu Yuanxi said with great interest, because maps were a difficult problem for him to solve. The budget is enough for dogs, and the determination of 100 million yuan a year has long been made, but it can't be spent because there are no suitable talents. This situation is a bit similar to the well-off blockchain in the original world, I wanted to do it in the early days, but I just couldn't do it, and I couldn't find the right person with a budget.

The full name of SAIC Silicon Valley is called SAIC Silicon Valley Innovation Center, which is an innovative R&D team established by SAIC Motor in Silicon Valley with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, using the talent resources of the United States for technology development, aiming at intelligent driving in the era of Internet of Vehicles. Silicon Valley is the absolute focus of the world in terms of the new generation of automotive technology, and the world's top ten car companies have their own territory in Silicon Valley, and the domestic Changan and GAC are not far behind.

Although Chu Yuanxi no longer plans to build a car, he has a plan in this area before, so he has been paying attention to the trends in the car-making industry, and he must know this. And if Jian Mo had only returned from SAIC Silicon Valley last year, he would have had quite a lot of contacts there, especially in the research and development of new forces to build cars.

In this kind of research and development, map service is the top priority, either self-research and development, or cooperation with high-precision map positioning technology service providers in the United States, so as to achieve efficient processing of large-scale map data operation. For example, the well-known DeepMap is a provider of this kind of service, and Jianmo is engaged in operation, and it is likely that he has been in contact with DeepMap's R&D team.

Before, Xiaokang had never made up his mind to go to Silicon Valley to dig people, mainly because there was no old driver to lead the way. Speaking of maps, domestic experts are actually not bad, but most of the problems are basically famous, and those who do not have owners are also planning to start their own businesses. Meituan struggled to develop a map function, and was even forced to negotiate the acquisition of a domestic electronic map service provider.

Speaking from the heart, Chu Yuanxi is really not optimistic about this merger, because the target company has a long history, the product is bad, and the valuation is abnormally high. This shows how anxious Meituan Monkey is from the side.

Fortunately, in the second half of this year, Penguin seems to have finally realized the importance of map services, and then increased investment as a basic level of construction. Meituan is a penguin-invested company, and as soon as it saw this good thing, it immediately rushed to prostitute itself, and at the same time suspended the merger and acquisition.

This incident made Chu Yuanxi quite frustrated, because Xiaokang realized the importance of the map early on, and the penguin knew it so late, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he immediately jumped out of the country, and Xiaokang was still slowly wandering due to the size and resources.

I saw Jian Mo's expression froze, and he paused for a moment before asking cautiously: "Mr. Chu, you want to develop the map, to what extent?"

"A budget of 100 million per year, tentative. Chu Yuanxi said and looked at the other side who didn't believe it, and immediately said, "If you don't believe it, you ask Liu Lu, she knows." We have already decided, but there is no suitable person, and this budget is more than enough. ”

Liu Lu wanted to roll her eyes, and said in her heart that Chu Yuanxi was a thief who ran off topic, and it was not enough for her to be a heart problem, and the dignified top HR had not found an excellent map scientist for so long, and she felt that she was quite a waste.

"What he said is true, but I don't understand why I want to make a budget of 100 million. Are maps so expensive?"

"Look at Penguin, the map service is used as the underlying architecture, the infrastructure of the enterprise, and people spend at least one billion dollars a day on R&D, do you understand that there is no cap? ”

It seems that Xiaokang is really serious? Jian Mo saw that the team members were all looking at him, so he sighed slightly and said, "Do you need foreign experts or Chinese experts?"

"It's best to be willing to go back to your home country to start a business. As soon as Chu Yuanxi heard that there was a door, his eyes immediately lit up.

In the past 20 years, he has cultivated college students in China, and high-quality students have gone to study in the United States to become talents and contribute to the United States. This force has been trained in the United States for many years, but for well-known reasons, it has not been able to break the class ceiling anyway.

But now the domestic entrepreneurial environment is generally open, and the opportunities are very good. Those who can't break the class ceiling and have strength in the United States will find many opportunities if they are willing to return to China to start a business. Being well-off is a good opportunity now, and as long as you have a good budget, it's always a good opportunity, and you need someone to match.

As a result, Chu Yuanxi and Liu Lu launched a headhunt in China and did not capture any prey, but they didn't expect that an old driver would appear at this inadvertent opportunity today!

So next, under the intentional guidance of Chu Yuanxi, the content of the chat became very harmonious, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves for a while.

When he sent the people away, Chu Yuanxi felt that these people were okay, they had a lot of talk, and their experience was mature, so he appreciated Liu Lu's vision. In the final analysis, their failures are mainly the failures of the decision-makers, that is, the failures of the founders, and the responsibility of the backbones is not great. The only one who needs to take some responsibility for the failure of entrepreneurship is Yang Heng. His status in Songzi Duoduo is equivalent to Uncle Sheng's being in Ba and Yuan Yuan being well-off.

So the two well-off leaders summed it up, and the plan was that a well-off strategic development research office could be established, with Yang Heng as the director and enjoying the title of vice president, but not directly giving options.

If there is a task, inject as many rewards as possible into the OKR, and these rewards can be directly converted into investment in his business in the future. As for others, they are encouraged to join the various business teams directly, with titles that are nothing more than Director and Senior Director.

Yang Heng is a person who has the experience of entrepreneurial failure, and now is the period of licking his wounds, and it is certainly not suitable to start the so-called "continuous entrepreneurship" immediately. Continuous entrepreneurship is Chu Yuanxi's example, first to be a Ba person, and then to bring the Ba people group to a certain climate and then to be well-off, this is called continuous entrepreneurship. If you do one kneeling one, it is called continuous failure, which is very hurtful. Of course, there are also people who ignore it, and this kind of teacher is a minority.

So after failing once, if there is no special reason, you always have to behave, as if you have experienced a period of reflection, or recharge yourself, update your personality and then go out of the mountain.

Therefore, Chu Yuanxi judged that he was likely to accept this kind of recruitment, which belonged to taking what he needed, and when he started his business again in the future, it was not a business incubated by Xiaokang, but an angel investment from Xiaokang. Being someone else's advisor when licking his wounds and exchanging his experience and wisdom for some resources does not hurt his compulsion.

As for others, because the structure of Xiaokang is relatively flat, there is no structure of business groups and business divisions, so the hierarchy is as few as possible, and the senior director is already an executive within Xiaokang, and there should be no reason to be dissatisfied.

Among them, Jianmo's first OKR is to introduce map experts to the company. Then Chu Yuanxi didn't expect that there would be a fierce interview in the end, because in the Chinese circle in Silicon Valley, the atmosphere is much more dignified than in China, and every day there are people shouting that I will buy a ticket and return to China immediately! Of course, most of them are people who have already dragged their families, and it is not so easy to really make up my mind to come back.

In this case, the Chinese elite in Silicon Valley actually needs domestic veteran drivers to match, which is a kind of poor circulation caused by poor information.

If these high-end talents were in China, large enterprises would have been able to observe their abilities at close range, and they would have been rotated a long time ago, but across the Pacific Ocean, even if they knew that there was such a group of people, would they be able to be grounded? Will they be able to adapt to the domestic environment? Are they really capable or are they indiscriminately filled with the numbers? Only when they take the first step and come back can it be convenient to screen.

But the words of an old driver who understands both sides are different, who are familiar with both domestic companies and talents. Jian Mo pulled the line a few times, and suddenly began to sigh for a long time, saying that my brother was bitter, I knew that pulling people to make so much money, what else would I do?

He finally realized how valuable the network resources and bilateral information he had were to monetize!

However, Chu Yuanxi said that this is not the case, you not only provide valuable information, but also make credit endorsements for both parties at the same time, so you earn not only information service fees, but intermediary service fees.

In the end, after many meetings and communication, the leader of the well-off map project team was fine-tuned several times and became a double-headed system, one responsible for the basic map architecture and the other responsible for the functional development of the output service.

The person in charge of the map infrastructure is called Kangxin, but the people are not new, and in 2004 they added Keyhole, which is the predecessor of Google Earth. As a result, the white people who worked with him had been promoted to vice president of Google Maps, and he found that he could only become vice president by going out and starting a business, and he was stuck by the ceiling in his forties.

This is an extremely experienced and strong man, and to make an inappropriate analogy, it is equivalent to a gold-collar employee in a labor-intensive industry, and it is more than enough to lead a project team.

Another person in charge of the output service is called Xu Long, whose qualifications are relatively simple, and he is much younger, slightly older than Chu Yuanxi, who was previously the technical backbone and middle management of the Uber map project, but there is no hope of being promoted to a senior executive, and he holds a master's degree in computational geometry from the University of Kansas.

If he had used Uber as a springboard and returned to China to start a business a few years earlier, instead of wasting his youth in Uber, he would have been a co-founder of some unicorn-level technology startups by now.

So on Monday the 25th, Chu Yuanxi felt that he had experienced a dream week, and the last piece of the puzzle of Xiaokang was actually put together, and it was very powerful.

In this exciting week, the outside world is not calm, Google released their long-standing cloud games, which was ridiculed by the global player base, but the game stocks of my big A shares collectively hit the daily limit, and the daily limit board even included X God Entertainment, which had a loss equivalent to twice its market value at the beginning of the year.

Immediately after the release of the list of new academicians, Ali's Mr. Wang passed the test. This honor is well deserved, because he is the father of Alibaba Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud is one of the few information technology products in the world that can brag about it, and it has been a global leader for a period of time. When Jack Ma was filming "Offensive and Defensive Road", Chu Yuanxi vomited, isn't Ali's most worthwhile film is Alibaba Cloud's "Tengyun Plan"?

(In reality, it's called the Flying Project, which is described in more detail in Chapter 868 of this book.) ）

This news made Sun Yongqiang, the person in charge of the Xiaokang Big Data Group, also very excited, because he had also worked in the Tengyun Project and contributed his own strength (Chapter 687).

Immediately afterwards, the incident of a terminally ill employee of a large animal husbandry factory was exposed, which caused an explosion on the whole network. But because Liu Lu had already broken the news, Chu Yuanxi just watched the excitement.

In fact, these turmoil are far less important to him than the delivery of the Ba Ren game, because after sending away these brothers, he can collect the second money, isn't it beautiful?

Before the delivery, he settled the brothers' cash options as agreed, and said goodbye earnestly, saying: "Brothers, when I was leaving, I found that many people in the Maimai job said that I sold you. Don't be emotional, because even if that's the case, I've chosen a buyer who is relatively gentle with the employees.

Many companies, including some large factories, tell employees that your work ability is poor and does not meet expectations when they want to lay off employees, and if you don't take the initiative to leave, they will stigmatize you, and then beat you down performance, which is very disgusting. But Ali is virtuous and will never do that.

Finally, let me sell it. I hope you never know what I've done for this deal, but what if anyone does, well, just keep quiet then. Forget it, brothers, no matter where you go, the friendship between our former pure colleagues remains the same, and I hope it will continue forever. ”

Yu Wenhui listened very sadly on the side, but he didn't expect Chu Yuanxi to come to him to communicate with him about the "Enemy of Rome" project as soon as he turned his face.

Zhao Jie's side is already on the right track, and even the editor has started to do it, and of course Yu Wenhui's side can't drag it out.

"I've had a couple of new developments lately, and I have to tell you about them. Chu Yuanxi recruited Yu Wenhui into the president's office, "Are you not very happy that I dug up your general Guo Jiangyong?"

"No, no, no!" Yu Wenhui hurriedly denied the third company and waved his hand, but Chu Yuanxi knew that he was of course unhappy, because Guo Jiangyong was originally a talent that he had specially left for himself from the United Transport.

"It's okay if you're not happy, I'm going to get you someone better. Chu Yuanxi said and turned on the TV on the wall of the multi-functional office.

The TV showed a live video of a new game recently released by the island country, the game is called "Shenmue 3", Yu Wenhui seems to have heard of this series, because this game has just been released, he knows. But I haven't played the whole series, and I'm really not impressed.

"Did you see this game?"

"See, awesome!" Yu Wenhui only glanced at it twice and immediately couldn't take his eyes off it, because this game is not too awesome from the perspective of visual effects alone! This picture quality, this delicacy, this NPC and objects, this scenery, inside and out, are just two words - realistic!

Although it's a 3D game, even if it is directly ported into VR, it is estimated to be extremely powerful, far from the existing VR games on the market.

"What, you're going to introduce me to the game's art?"

"It's not the art, it's the whole team, including the game producers. Chu Yuanxi said calmly: "Knight Mabao is pulling the strings, and I am talking, and I haven't talked about it yet, but I guess it's okay." If there is a glimpse of the eight characters, probably this weekend or next week, I will invite the other party to the company to talk, the other party is a game name. ”

"Damn!" Yu Wenhui was really surprised, because this product had just been released, so he knew that it was done by the island country team, which means that Chu Yuanxi was going to introduce a foreign team? And it was a foreign team that had just released its own product?

"Don't be surprised, don't be surprised, it's a rare opportunity, but it's relatively easy. Chu Yuanxi pointed to the TV and said: "The other party crowdfunded more than 6 million $ to make "Shenmue 3", do you understand the meaning?"
