Nov. 7, 9:15 a.m.

The chairman's office on the 15th floor of the Youdao Building is filled with the smell of lampe-berger incense.

The incense was brought back from France by my parents and my parents.

Since she smelled the fragrance of lampe-berger in the winery, Bian Ma was fascinated, brought three sets of aromatherapy lamps back to China, and asked Dong Xue to mail a batch.

Bian Xuedao also likes the fragrance of lampe-berger, and every time he feels tired or stressed, he will take it out, light it, and smoke it for three to five minutes.

The sunlight shone on the floor through the window, forming several square blocks of light, and Bian Xuedao sat on the sofa, his legs on the coffee table, frowning at the two reports in his hands.

Both reports are related to Xing Minfu.

Xing Minfu......

Bian Xuedao thought about it for more than 10 seconds before he remembered who this person was - after Qin Zhonglan was poached by other companies with high salaries, Wang Yinan and Wu Dingwen were recruited from other companies, and they are now the deputy general manager of Zhiwei Weibo.

All right......

The deputy general manager of a core subsidiary actually made the boss so unfamiliar that it took more than 10 seconds to remember who he was.

You must know that presenting yourself in front of your boss is a necessary skill for the elite in the workplace.

Before seeing the two reports in his hand, Bian Xuedao's only impression of Xing Minfu was that he was average and more reserved.

After reading the two reports, Bian Xuedao found that this Xing Minfu could not stay.

The first report was sent by Fu Caining, acting director of the chairman's office, and the Ministry of Supervision.

The report says two things:

First of all, in the past month and a half, the Ministry of Supervision has received a large number of complaints from Zhiwei Weibo employees, the content of which is much the same, saying that Vice President Xing Minfu has mediocre ability, backward work ideas, and is keen to engage in "political struggle" to seize power; said that Vice President Xing Minfu has installed a group of his old colleagues and Tsinghua alumni in a short period of time, and these people think very highly of themselves, have their own department, and are incompatible with the old team; and also say that Vice President Xing Minfu has a strange temper, is high-minded, and does not communicate with employees.

The report gave an example, Xing Minfu asked a development team to develop a new feature, and the team developed it within the specified time limit as required, and wanted to demonstrate it to Xing Minfu in person, but the Tsinghua alumni assistant recruited by Xing Minfu said that "Xing always has no time".

There was no way for the team leader to make a PPT demonstration of the operation of the new function and hand it in.

A day later, Xing Minfu's assistant called the team leader and said, "Mr. Xing is not satisfied with this new feature and needs to be changed." ”

The team leader asked on the phone, "What are you not satisfied with?"

The assistant said: "Mr. Xing didn't say it, he only said that he wanted to change it." ”

The group leader said depressedly: "I did it according to Mr. Xing's requirements, and he said that he was not satisfied after finishing it, and he didn't give me any suggestions for revision, how do you let me change it?"

When the assistant heard this, he said firmly: "Why don't you go and ask Mr. Xing yourself?" I can't understand the intention of the leader, and I don't have the consciousness of self-examination and self-correction.

The team leader stopped listening and asked the assistant loudly on the phone: "What do you call us wise people?"

After receiving the complaint, the Supervision Department pressed it for some time.

Li Yu discussed it at a meeting with several deputy ministers and first-level inspectors of the Ministry of Supervision, and everyone initially felt that the "airborne faction" might have squeezed out the upward space of the "old team" and that the two sides still needed to run in, so these complaints and reports could not be fully trusted.

Don't be new, and don't be unbelieving.

At the meeting, Li Yu asked a deputy minister to lead a team to Yanjing to inspect Zhiwei Weibo.

The reason why the vice minister was allowed to lead the team was, first, judging from the number of complaints, the "old team" was in a raging mood and needed people who could calm down the scene; second, Xing Minfu's rank was relatively high, and the number of inspectors sent was insufficient.

Outcome......

On the second day after the vice minister of supervision arrived in Yanjing, a very speechless incident happened on Zhiwei's Weibo, that is, the second thing Fu Caining said in the report.

Fu Caining has been responsible for the corporate culture, Youdao Group from more than a year ago, added an employee benefit - the human resources department will send birthday cakes and flowers to employees on their birthdays, and celebrate the birthday of employees in the company, in addition, the employee's birthday month, the salary will be increased by a very affordable 500 yuan "birthday subsidy".

It can be said that the company celebrates employees' birthdays on their birthdays is part of Youdao Group's corporate culture, because it reflects the company's respect and care for employees.

However, one morning in early November, the human resources department of Zhiwei Weibo suddenly notified 48 employees who had birthdays in November to go to the pantry. Then the secretaries of various departments sent a group message, saying that a colleague had a birthday today and asked everyone to go to the pantry to eat cake.

When they came to the pantry, everyone was stunned!

Different from the previous days when a few people put a few 8-inch small cakes on their birthdays, there is an 8-layer giant cake in the pantry. The Christmas tree-like cake was placed on the table, almost hitting the ceiling.

Just when the employees guessed who was so awesome that they actually used this kind of cake, Xing Minfu's assistant stood next to the cake and said: "Today is Mr. Xing's birthday, and all the colleagues who have birthdays this month have birthdays today." From this month onwards, the company will no longer give cakes on birthdays, and will choose one day every month to celebrate the birthday of colleagues who celebrate this month. In addition, since January 2009, the birthday subsidy is linked to the performance of the month, and the birthday subsidy can be doubled if the performance is high, and the subsidy will be paid proportionally if the performance is low. ”

As soon as these words came out, only half of the 8-layer cake was eaten, and all the people were scattered.

It was also from this day that the old employees of Zhiwei Weibo stopped listening to Xing Minfu at all, and directly called Wu Dingwen, Wang Yinan and Shen Ya'an, the group's executive vice president in charge of the network interconnection division.

After receiving the news, Wang Yinan and Wu Dingwen, who were in the United States to coordinate and prepare for the pre-listing of Zhiwei Weibo, urgently returned to China to appease employees and investigate the situation.

In the face of his boss's inquiry, Xing Minfu said his thoughts: "I looked at the employee files, and on average, about 50 employees on Zhiwei Weibo celebrate their birthdays every month. At present, the number of employees on Zhiwei Weibo is still growing steadily, and the day when employees celebrate their birthdays every day will come soon. I think that the current formality of birthday celebration has no meaning and efficacy, and is a complete waste of time, so it is better to celebrate the birthday on one day every month and celebrate it collectively to save time and energy. ”

"As for birthday allowances, I am personally very much against 'one-size-fits-all' corporate benefits. I don't think this kind of benefit will help to stimulate employees' enthusiasm for work, nor will it help to harvest employees' loyalty, and its only point is to increase the cost of poaching other companies. ”

In the office, Wu Dingwen was speechless by Xing Minfu.

At this moment, Wu Dingwen felt like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by, and he knew that after this incident, the group leaders would no longer give him the power to recruit management independently.

Sitting behind the desk, Wu Dingwen really wanted to ask Xing Minfu: "Even if what you say is reasonable, I am the number one leader, are you the number one? I, the leader of Zhiwei Weibo, still have the boss of the business department and the executive vice president in charge of the business department who need to ask for instructions, who gave you the confidence to be so arbitrary?"

"Also, Zhiwei Weibo is about to be listed, I trust you, so I let you sit in the company, but you made such a serious damage to internal unity, what do you want to do? Are you a pig? Are you an undercover agent sent by your opponent?"

Well, after all, he is the deputy who recruited into the company by himself, but if there is a little room for salvation, Wu Dingwen will still save it.

However, a subsequent news made Wu Dingwen completely give up on Xing Minfu, because he found that Xing Minfu's emotional intelligence was really problematic.

What did Xing Minfu do?

He made himself a talented and intelligent assistant to Tsinghua alumni on Weibo for less than two months, and wrote a "10,000-word letter" of more than 30,000 words to Bian Xuedao, the boss of the group.

This "Book of Ten Thousand Words" is the second report in Bian Xuedao's hand.

Why is the "Book of Ten Thousand Words" written by the assistant related to Xing Minfu?

Because the assistant had no channel to hand the "Book of Ten Thousand Words" to Bian Xuedao, it was Xing Minfu who used his position privilege to let Bian Xuedao see what the assistant wrote.

Outcome......

Sitting in the chairman's office, after Bian Xuedao spent the most precious morning of the day reading the "Book of Ten Thousand Words", he had only one thought in his heart-

"What the hell is this?"

……

……

On the morning of November 8, the first snow of the winter of 2008 fell in Matsue.

The city air is crisp after the snow, take a deep breath, and a cool feeling comes from your nose.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the "Youdao Group Management Summary Meeting in the Second Half of 2008 and the 2009 Strategic Deployment Meeting" was held on time in the conference room of Youdao Building.

After pouring hot water into the teacups of the executives, the staff exited the conference room and gently closed the door.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, he sat in the main seat and flipped through the newspaper, and then pulled out a thick stack of papers from the pile of papers at hand, threw it into the center of the conference table.

This stack of papers was not light, and it fell on the conference table with a "snap", which startled a few people who were bored to read the documents, raised their heads, and looked blankly at the people around them.

Seeing that everyone in the conference room was staring at the "Book of Ten Thousand Words" on the table, Bian Xuedao said expressionlessly: "If this person is mentally ill, it is recommended to be sent to the hospital for treatment, and if he is not sick, it is recommended to be dismissed." Also, the people who sent this bunch of nonsense were also dismissed...... The meeting will now be opened. ”

The words fell, and everyone in the conference room became serious.

If memory serves, this is the first time that Bian Xuedao has made it clear who he wants to fire at a management meeting.

There are no stupid people who can sit in this conference room, just looking at the thickness of the stack of papers in the center of the conference table, you can guess that eighty percent is the "book of ten thousand words" sent by Xing Minfu.

The "Book of Ten Thousand Words", which Xing Minfu had high hopes for, not only failed to win the approval of the boss, but made the boss see through his vain reputation.

It's good now, don't give any face, just dismiss!

It is foreseeable that Xing Minfu's career resume will be much more pale, and other companies must consider the reason why he was swept away by Youdao Group when they want to use him.

In the conference room, the debriefing begins.

The first to report was Wang Deliang, who mainly reported on the progress of the "campus recruitment of 1,000 people".

Bian Xuedao doesn't like to talk nonsense at length, so Wang Deliang's report is very brief, basically all the key points, and he doesn't say a word of nonsense.

The second to report was Wang Yinan.

Xing Minfu was recruited by Wang Yinan and Wu Dingwen, and if something like this happened today, Wang Yinan must bear some responsibility. However, Wang Yinan has been in charge of Zhiwei Technology for many years, and when he has practiced at home, he calmly reports the progress of various works of Zhiwei Technology.

When reporting to the game department, Wang Yinan said: "A client national war game independently developed by the game department of Zhiwei Technology is about to start public beta, and the name of the game has been changed from the original "Legend of Immortality" to "Legend of Undefeated". The closed beta data of "Legend of the Undefeated" is very good, and the response from players after trying it out has been enthusiastic, and the market research results show that this game has great market potential. ”

"Undefeated Legend ......" repeated the name of the game, and asked, "What are the features of the game, and where is the selling point?"

Wang Yinan opened the folder and said: "For the first time, we have abolished the experience points in the game, players do not need to farm monsters to level up, they only need to destroy specific bosses to level up, and it is easy to play without getting tired." ”
