Chapter 237: A Slice of the Mobile Phone Market

Looking at the big bald head in front of him, Zhuo Ziyuan was a little funny, you can just come out of Apple, is it necessary to even imitate Sect Master Qiao with his head, in my impression, the one who developed the Android system later seems to be a little bald, almost a copy of Sect Master Qiao.

However, the one in front of Zhuo Ziyuan is more thorough, there is not a single hair on the whole head, and the sunlight shining in the hot summer outside has formed a good reflection on this head, which is a good interpretation of what it means to be as bright as a mirror, and Zhuo Ziyuan has the urge to come to the side of his head to see if he can see the reflection.

Of course, it's okay to think about it, if you really do that, it would be too disrespectful, Zhuo Ziyuan suppressed the curiosity in his heart, "Hello, Wu Yue, Liu Bin should have introduced me to you." ”

Liu Bin did tell Wu Yue who he wanted to see before he came in, and repeatedly told him not to behave too much, but after Wu Yue came in, he still lost his temper to the point that he couldn't take the initiative to say hello.

Even if Wu Yue heard a lot about who dropped out of school and went home to start a business in the United States, and what kind of success he achieved, but when he saw the legendary boss in front of him, he was still out of shape, too young, those geniuses who dropped out of school to start a business, how to say that they were all born in technology and started from scratch, but the one in front of him looks less than 20 years old, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a teenager, he is already the boss of two companies, of course he can understand limited, with his position in the company, he only knows Wanjia and Zhiyuan, one is a very down-to-earth enterprise related to people's livelihood, and the other is a high-end Internet company, he never thought that the boss of the company would be so young, and Liu Bin showed great respect to the boss.

At first, he didn't want to return to China, but after Liu Bin talked to him about the company's R&D project, he was moved by such a project bundling plan, and he felt that he could come back and try it, what he didn't know even more, there was a bigger cake waiting for him.

Seeing Wu Yue's surprised appearance with his mouth wide open, Zhuo Ziyuan glanced at Liu Bin, Liu Bin blinked, saying that there was no way, and he always had to give others some time to react.

After listening to Zhuo Ziyuan's greeting, Wu Yue finally woke up, "Hello, Mr. Zhuo, my name is Wu Yue, I am so excited to see you." ”

The reaction was quite fast, knowing that he was justifying, Zhuo Ziyuan smiled and sat down, "You also sit, Wu Yue, I heard Liu Bin say, you came out of the apple?"

"Yes, I've been with Apple for three whole years. ”

"Oh, what do you do for so long?"

"One year of basic software maintenance, one year of software development, one year of operating system research and development. ”

"It's quite frequent to change the project team every year, can you tell me about the development of the operating system? Will there be any non-disclosure agreements or anything like that? ”

"Yes, but my project team was directly disbanded, and they fired me, I think the confidentiality agreement is useless, and besides, I will just verbally say that they can still send people from the US imperialism to find me. ”

Obviously, Wu Yue is very dissatisfied with the fate of working at Apple for three years, in fact, Zhuo Ziyuan doesn't care about the confidentiality agreement or anything, there is a kind of trouble you come to Huaxia.

"Then tell me about it. ”

"I participated in the development of an operating system called MNC, which is mainly an operating system for tablet computers, in fact, there are several project teams like us, which are often eliminated and disbanded. ”

Zhuo Ziyuan nodded, this may also be the reason why Apple is strong, for the development of the operating system, new improvements and attempts are made all the time, and he is willing to invest heavily in technology research and development.

"Then tell me again, you have worked at Apple for so many years, what is Apple's culture like, and what kind of feelings do you have? "Zhuo Ziyuan is actually quite curious about the internal atmosphere of Apple.

"Apple is a product-centric company, and the soul of Joe has great personal charisma, without this person, Apple would not have succeeded, and may have been eliminated very early. As far as I have been exposed to in the 3 years I have worked at Apple, the technicians in Apple have taken the company as their home, and work is life is their usual saying, but in my personal opinion, I think that working at Apple is easy to schizophrenia, saying that it is a mature large company, but he still has the non-stop rush of a startup, because Joe is a crazy person, harsh, extreme, if a project, Joe is not involved, it may take weeks of meetings to promote the progress of things, but as long as Joe is involved, then the completion of this thing is completely beyond the imagination of others, all cross-departmental work, It was supposed to take a week or two to complete, but as long as Joe came forward, it was estimated that he would be forced to complete it that day. It's this individualism of Joe, Apple's tech team, which can almost be said to be religiously dedicated to the company, and most employees, no matter how simple their jobs, have an idea, and they're changing the world. ”

What Wu Yue has said so far is similar to what Zhuo Ziyuan knows, and Qiao's personal heroism is obvious to all over the world, "What about Apple's welfare?"

"In my opinion, Apple's benefits are very few, there are bonuses for the completion of the project, there are bonuses at the end of the year, and there is almost nothing else, that is, you have to pay for coffee in the company, and it is not cheaper than outside, there are vending machines on each floor of the company, and they are also charged, someone asked Joe this question, why are there so few benefits, and it is said that Joe's answer is that my task is to ensure that the Apple stock in your hands continues to rise, so that you can afford these daily paid services. ”

"This kind of answer, it is indeed very Qiao, Liu Bin, Zhiyuan's company welfare, you can also improve it now, you and a few of them are back from the United States, in this regard, you can communicate more, moreover, I heard that the office environment of the United States is very good, and the office atmosphere is also helpful to the thinking of technical personnel, in this regard, you can also discuss, which models can be copied to our country, and you can also have innovative ideas. Zhuo Ziyuan laughed, and at the same time did not forget to let Liu Bin introduce more personnel management methods of these large overseas companies, the current Zhiyuan, it looks like copying Wanjia, not like an IT company at all, I don't know if Liu Bin has concerns or doesn't have the energy to take care of this.

"Boss, I'm afraid that painting a tiger will not be an anti-dog, and the way of thinking of people in the two countries is completely different, and those things in the West may not be useful to us. Liu Bin said tactfully.

"I understand this, so let you think of your own ideas, at least an IT company must have a cultural atmosphere of an IT company, which is still different from traditional enterprises, Wu Yue, what do you say?"

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhuo, what you both said is right, it is definitely not possible to copy it completely, but it can also be imitated a little. ”

Zhuo Ziyuan felt that this Wu Yue person was like his head, and he was very sleek, "Then do you have any suggestions?"

"Foreigners have not been unrestrained since childhood, and pay attention to the so-called human rights everywhere, which also leads to their corporate management model is very different from that in China, some Internet companies, employees can be transferred at will in the company's office position, tables can also be placed at will, and even some companies can bring toys to work, which is related to their national culture. And our people, since childhood is a decent class, do homework, subject to all kinds of discipline, if to the company, do not use the company's rules and regulations to manage, suppress, it is estimated that it is easy to form a lazy state, not to mention what innovative thinking and inspiration erupted, like we are now a regular desk and neat office environment, I think it is a must, as for what games to play in the office, that should be eliminated, but we can also start from other aspects, for example, we can open up an area, sofa, coffee table, meals, employees have their own fixed seats, but without affecting the progress of workThey can choose to work in the lounge area or in a fixed position, and they can choose to work with a dessert while sipping a little tea. Another example is to make our office area bigger, and make everyone's exclusive area bigger, so that it feels like their own exclusive area. Also, technology research and development is a very brain-consuming activity, is it possible for the company to get a break room, put a few beds in it, employees can sleep in the case of extreme fatigue. ”

Wu Yue gushed endlessly, which made Zhuo Ziyuan suddenly think of the very famous bed culture of a large company, each of their employees will send a folding bed, and during the lunch break, employees of other companies may not even have the opportunity to sleep, but when they take a lunch break, they can directly lie on the bed and sleep, as for whether it is all employees, or just management, Zhuo Ziyuan has no way to verify.

Whether his own company can also form such a culture, Zhuo Ziyuan thinks about it or forget it, he can't imagine the scene where the office is full of beds, you can sleep during the lunch break, just sleep on the table, Chinese people have been lying on the table since they were in elementary school, who is not like this, this is not a problem for Chinese people, it can even be said that it is already a habit, there is no need to deliberately create such a corporate culture.

After chatting so much, Zhuo Ziyuan felt that he could get to the point, "Wu Yue, if I let you lead the development of a mobile phone operating system similar to Symbian, do you have the confidence to complete it?"

Zhuo Ziyuan did not say the future mobile phone model, but only said that he wanted to make a mobile phone system.

Wu Yue didn't expect that the first time he met with the big boss, the big boss threw down such a big piece of cake, he couldn't believe it for a while, and he couldn't make up his mind, to say whether he had the ability or not, he suddenly felt as if he had it, and it seemed that he didn't, but to say that such a big cake, it was a pity that he didn't seize the opportunity, even if he got it in his hand first, it was also an honor.

"Mr. Zhuo, I can try. ”

Zhuo Ziyuan nodded, he had a good impression of Wu Yue, not only had a clear idea, but also knew his ability, he didn't take care of everything, but said to try, although this try is somewhat unconfident, but the attitude says it all, "In this way, you can recruit some people who are helpful to you, the team that was disbanded you mentioned before, you can also try to find some people, and you have been in research and development for so long, you should also know some peers, if you need to, you can dig over." ”

Hearing Zhuo Ziyuan say this, Wu Yue was obviously relieved.

Liu Bin became nervous, "Boss, this, it's still early for software research and development, and if we open a new project, we will have a lot of pressure on our personnel, and if we recruit new people, our funds will also be problematic." ”

"It's okay, I will naturally find a way to deal with money, and the development of this operating system is not something that can be done immediately, you are doing antivirus software while looking for the right talent, both are right. ”

Zhuo Ziyuan already has a faint expectation for this system, and he wants to take a share of the mobile phone market in the future.
