Chapter 826: The Change of CEO (Part I)
A lot of things can be known to be successful from the start, just like Yahoo's new media plan, Wall Street investors know it's fun when they hear it. As a result, Yahoo's stock price has risen sharply, and it no longer minds the fact that Yahoo has fallen into losses in the past two years.
"Yahoo has bought the best ferry ticket in the era of mobile Internet!"
"Seven apps with over 100 million users prove that Yahoo has won the future!"
"Even if AI fails, Yahoo still has a future!"
Major media, financial giants sang the praises of Yahoo, mobile Internet with the popularization of smart phones, the ultra-high growth rate has shaken the PC era of traffic and advertising base. The content of major apps is closed, which also makes search engines helpless. It's a whole new era, and many investors are betting on the next Google, F&F. Yahoo is almost the most prominent of them.
F&F spent a lot of effort on the integration of two social networks with their own focuses, and because of the different cultural orientations, the two websites, which were basically unable to integrate, took a lot of effort. And because of the choice of technology development direction (one is H5, the other is APP), the company's infighting has dragged down the process of mobile Internet. Google relied on huge cash flow to fight on multiple fronts, and the competition with market leaders in the fields of video, social networking, group buying, and smartphones fell to the bottom. Although it has taken the lead in the field of mobile Internet because of the mobile intelligent operating system, it still maintains a competitive advantage. Google's future ......, though.
In the face of the rising stock price, the company is also very excited, after all, most of the executives' income is linked to the company's stock price. In addition to being happy, Zhou Shi was also a little depressed, and the time for Yahoo Cloud to provide services to the outside world may have to be delayed, after all, the rising number of users makes them really not have enough strength to meet the needs of other enterprises. In North America, Europe and China, Yahoo Cloud's data centers are constantly being built, and even Southeast Asia and India are in his plans. However, in the previous life, Facebook has not launched a cloud computing business, not necessarily because too many users have put too much pressure on their infrastructure construction, and it is difficult to balance the relationship between its own business and cloud computing.
With the new media plan, Yahoo's internal personnel organization structure has undergone another major adjustment. This is the second major adjustment since Zhou Shi moved into Yahoo, of course, not the top management, but the middle and senior and grassroots staff. The most notable feature is the increase in the proportion of engineers, the realignment of the work of business marketers, and the diversion of most of them to YELP and Yahoo's big data departments. You must know that before Zhou Shi came in, Yahoo was not a technology company, but more of an Internet media company, and the proportion of engineers did not seem to account for half of the total number of employees. Now it's different, not only the proportion of employees is adjusted, but also the salary income has been adjusted, the main benefits are inclined to engineers, which is also no way, in the final analysis, the competition of enterprises in addition to the direction of the choice is the most important, the second is definitely the talent competition. If the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you try, it is useless, and the lack of talents and funds can be solved in various ways. For example, although Yahoo's capital chain is tight, but the welfare benefits are still raised, Americans are not as easy to deceive as the Chinese, confusing the struggle of enterprises and the struggle of individuals, and all kinds of chicken soup may even be believed by the entrepreneurs themselves.
"There is no problem with this personnel adjustment!" Zhou Shi discussed with Chen Shouzong
"The problem should not be big, all kinds of job transfers, compensation measures are very reasonable!" Chen Shouzong
"That's good, we can't delay the development of the company because of the allocation of human resources. "Zhou Shi, why growth hacks are so popular as soon as they come out, it's not that programmers like to convert something uncontrollable into something controllable, uh, at least what they seem to be controllable. Yahoo was more of a marketing and promoter before, but after Zhou Shi came, he set up a growth hacking department and raised the power of this department a lot. As a result, there is redundancy in many jobs, but it is not so simple to lay off employees, and there are many departments that continue to lack people in the development of the company.
Originally, it was easy to say in Huaxia that the labor protection law is not a decoration, at least it is difficult to truly protect the interests of the majority of people. Therefore, in the face of difficulties, domestic enterprises directly transfer jobs, internal transfers, soft violence to force employees to leave without compensation, and so on. After all, most of the domestic labor contracts are to bind employees rather than protect their interests. The United States is different, which is why there is this concentrated and large-scale adjustment.
"Probably not, the communication in the early stage was very good, and there were not many opinions" Chen Shouzong
Many companies like to hide the company's operations, and the bottom employees basically don't know what the company's top management thinks. It's not that it's wrong to do this, but different companies, different cultures, and different pursuits will naturally be different. For example, Netflix is more transparent, and Facebook and even every employee can see the company's operating data. At present, at least Internet companies are relatively open. Yahoo, which is controlled by Zhou Shi, is naturally also advocating transparent office, and can be as open as possible. This staff adjustment is naturally indispensable for early communication.
Each individual employee has their own ideas, and no matter how perfect the measures are, it is impossible to meet the needs of everyone, so this adjustment provides employees with many options, including transfers, transfers from company departments, resignation, salary increases, salary reductions and promotions......
"That's good, even if some people are not satisfied, we must strive for the understanding of most people in the company, Yahoo is not a black-hearted company without a human touch......" Zhou Shi
"Of course!" Chen Shouzong said absentmindedly
"Have you been too tired lately and need to rest for a while?" Zhou Shi
"It's okay, I'm not tired!" Chen Shouzong
"Then what are you, Lao Chen, although the current matter is very important, but there is no hurry, a little earlier and a little later actually has little impact, but don't make yourself tired for the company's affairs, besides, if you are tired and the rest period is too long, what can I do." You can't let me stay in the company forever!" Zhou Shi
"It's really fine......" Chen Shouzong
"Well, you pay attention to your body. "Zhou Shi didn't say much, everyone is an adult, there is no need to talk too much nonsense.
Yahoo's management is basically running in, and even Brett Taylor, who Zhou Shi looks down on, has won Zhou Shi's appreciation for his high-intensity work.
"Simon!" Chen Shouzong stopped when he saw Zhou Shi who was about to leave.
"Hmm!what's the matter?" Zhou Shi
"Recently, a headhunter has come to me to ......," Chen Shouzong
"It's not normal, you're so good, but is there a better company than Yahoo!?"
"It's Microsoft ...... who came to me this time," Chen Shouzong
