Chapter 34: The Beginning of Bloating [Asking for Recommendation Votes!Second Update]

Leaving aside the remarks of grocery store owner Tyson, who was based on his own shallowness, Nick returned to his office, hung up his wet coat, and dialed the long-distance call to China. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although because of the importance of 10,000 households in China, with the approval of the state, the local telecommunications bureau has opened a foreign dedicated line for 10,000 households in China, which can save a lot of transfer time.

However, calls from the United States still have to wait for at least half an hour, and only Ben's phone can be connected within 10 minutes.

However, people of this era are quite satisfied with this. You know, it's common to wait for six hours and half a day for a transatlantic phone call.

Nick didn't wait on the phone, he sat down at the telephone, a pen in his hand, and wrote down a few proposals on a piece of paper.

The first plan is the plan proposed by Tyson's boss to replace the new machine, this plan is indeed conscientious, and it is already a little stupid with a conscience. In doing so, it will definitely play a good role in the corporate image. It has a very good impact on the long term.

However, this is too detrimental to short-term benefits.

Nick is not afraid of replacing the machine, and the parts that are replaced cannot be reused, but he is deeply afraid of the cost of logistics.

Although bulk shipping is far cheaper than transporting by train, recycling from small shops is extremely expensive.

In the words of later generations, the cost of the last mile of express delivery is very high.

If it weren't for China's cheap labor and dense population, China's express delivery industry would not have been so cheap and developed so well.

I'm afraid it's not the same as the United States, and often the express delivery cost is more expensive than the product itself.

You must know that in recent years, mail orders in the United States have become less and less, because compared with the early years, relatively low-priced goods cannot cover the increasing postage costs.

Mail order is better than going to a supermarket where the variety of things is becoming more and more complete and the price is becoming more and more reasonable.

The second option......

The second option is to postpone the launch of the new Tetris handheld console.

This plan is not clever, and it can even be said to be a thousand self-losses.

Now Wanhu's advantage in similar products, in addition to the justifiable use of the big killer of "Tetris", is that it is in the leading position in technology.

If you delay the launch of Tetris handheld with features, although it will not offend players who already own Tetris handhelds, it will also lose the feature that attracts new users the most. Slowly silent in the vast sea of machines.

The third option......

Nick couldn't think of a third option.

However, the first two options are almost unavailable, and the cost and loss are too high.

Wait a minute......

Something suddenly occurred to Nick!

It seems that the difference between the new model and the old model is not as big as expected.

I remember when I was in the factory, I heard that there was an interface that was reserved and could not be used for the time being.

If so.

Is it possible to break up the parts that can be modified into a small package and send them to the store along with the delivery mechanism?

Then upgrade the existing block machine at a relatively reasonable price.

It's the expensive labor ...... in the United States

Wait a minute!

There it is again!

Nick remembered that his family's car broke down, and as long as the problem could be solved, his father would fix it himself. The same seems to be true of the collar family.

Since car repairs are done by yourself to avoid expensive labor, why not sell the modification package at a clear price, with a manual for players in need to buy the modification by themselves.

The more Nick thinks about it, the more reliable he feels, so that the complaints of old players about rapid updates and iterations can be eliminated, and it will not cause too much financial pressure on thousands of households.

It seems like a great solution.

Just then, the call finally went through.

The operator of Wanhu China on the other side is a high-achieving student who knows foreign languages, he recorded all Nick's words in the logbook, wrote down the translation below, and finally wrote his name and job number, copied it again and handed it to the clerk next to him, so that he could forward it to the leader in charge of related matters.

Although the number of employees in 10,000 households has increased, the corporate system is gradually formalized.

For example, for every overseas call to 10,000 Chinese households, there will be a special person responsible for recording and keeping it on file for future inquiries.

Nick, who thought of a good solution, excitedly wanted to keep playing in the office...... Pace. However, after saying please wait a while, there was no sound, and Nick, who knew that he was going to go through the procedure, had to wait patiently.

That's the bad side of having a complex system, the more steps you have to deal with, the slower the response.

Takahashi also has a sense of crisis about this, although there are less than 4,000 employees in the world. More than 3,000 of them are in China.

However, Takahashi is already trying to see if he can alleviate the symptoms of this big company.

Takahashi once thought that rigid institutions and bloated institutions were the characteristics of state-owned enterprises, and he was naïve enough to think that all this would disappear as long as it was privatized.

However, knowing that he now has his own enterprise, he realized that a rigid system and bloated institutions are not a common problem of state-owned enterprises, but a common problem of large companies.

The so-called big company disease has appeared to varying degrees in almost all large enterprises.

Even if the rules and regulations are formulated well, it is the people who implement the rules and regulations, and if there are no loopholes, loopholes will be created. Sometimes, even if you know that there is a loophole, you can't change it overnight, and you can only add regulators.

However, regulators tend to corrupt again after a while, and regulators need regulators on top of them.

So, so, so, how can it not be bloated.

Institutional rigidity is also a must.

At present, many things in 10,000 households must be signed by several people at the same time before they can take effect.

Maybe in the future, there will be hundreds of people signing and the embarrassment of one thing being carried out.

If nothing else, the signing process is a waste of time, to say the least, it takes months, and the best opportunity is often lost.

However, it is not possible to reduce the number of institutions.

It's messy as soon as you put it down.

Even if an employee has no distractions and too much power in his hands, someone will make him distracted.

"Hello, the situation you have reported has been reported to the headquarters, please hang up the phone first, and wait patiently for the instructions of the headquarters. ”

The operator's specially trained American accent didn't warm Nick.

He could only put down the phone, but he didn't know when he would get a response from the headquarters.

Fortunately, Nick has also experienced a lot, and his heart has been polished, and he has nothing to wait for the reply of the headquarters, but has perfected the third plan that he thinks is the most feasible.

……

"President, this is the latest briefing from the China branch. After speaking, the secretary's sister put the document on Takahashi's desk.

Nowadays, there are many things in Wanhu, and Takahashi is like an ancient emperor, and the information he receives is all second-hand second-hand news that has passed through a few hands.

But this can't be helped, and it may not be better than this. It's like a logistics team captain and principal who has to do everything.

Takahashi finished reading the document in his hand, took the briefing in his hand and browsed it.

"The U.S. branch applied to solve the problem of the model of the Tetris handheld?" Takahashi looked at the brief description of the problem, and felt that the problem was indeed tricky, he picked up the phone and called the secretary's desk, asking the secretary to connect the phone of the U.S. branch.

After about twenty minutes, the call was transferred from the secretary's desk to Takahashi's office.

"Hey, Nick, I'm Takahashi. ”
