169 Contented leadership

Zhang Xian got up lazily and patted Zhu Jiarun, and the two of them got up and washed up lazily.

Because of the nanny, the two of them are now much more relaxed, who let the nanny they hire have undergone professional housekeeping training, and who makes their nanny really understand these Chinese foods.

The two of them had a good appetite, and after eating breakfast, Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun immediately set off, to see the goldfish they were going to choose, the two of them planned to dress up the living room a little, it was not realistic to raise a cat and a dog, or raise goldfish.

Raising cats and dogs may be more fun, but Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun are very clear that they will return to China in the future; if they raise cats or dogs, they may really be a little troublesome in the future, and they need to run around the world with them.

It's better to raise a little goldfish with a little worry, it's more worry-free, even if the little goldfish is a little more delicate, but relatively speaking, it's not so emotional, and there is no need to run around the world in the future, who let Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun not plan to raise super valuable arowana like super vermilion red dragon.

Guppies are Zhang Xian's favorite, this kind of usually lively and active goldfish is actually very beautiful, especially the tail stalk and tail fin are long and bright, which is really likable.

Zhu Jiarun does like to kiss fish, although she knows that the "kissing" of kissing fish is not a gesture of friendship, but a fight. Because she just likes to see these kissing fish have something to do, she thinks it's funny.

Red-tailed crown fish, anchovy dragon eyes, etc., Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun really chose several groups of beautiful goldfish, which was very interesting.

The two of them went home with a smile, and the fish tank was about to be sent back, although the two people's requirements were more urgent, but the two people were willing to pay for it, and it was not a particularly exaggerated custom fish tank, so it was naturally not rare.

It's really simple to have money to buy things, and many times two people just put forward a demand, and then they can prepare to receive the goods, of course, this requires a check.

Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun have now begun to continuously improve the level of raising goldfish, and they do know how to raise some small pets now; although goldfish are small, they are also pets, and there are so many little guys in our family, which is worth looking forward to!

Time passed quickly, Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun returned to Stanford again, and the two of them felt more and more that they needed the special guidance of a little personal trainer, and it was very important for two people to learn step-by-step learning, but the more important thing for two people was to learn to be a boss, rather than simply wanting to be an executive.

Nelson was not surprised that Zhang Xian was becoming less and less serious about attending classes, because everyone knew that Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun may have entered Stanford more for further study, and they did not come to get degree certificates.

So now he is not surprised to see that Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun have begun to choose courses more excessively, and they no longer attach so much importance to classes. Because Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun's time is precious, he even thinks that it is more surprising that Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun can stay at Stanford for a full semester, because too many people choose to drop out of school after successful entrepreneurship when they were students.

For example, Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, for example, Larry Ellison, the owner of Oracle, the world's largest database software company, this guy went to three colleges, did not get a diploma, and his grades sometimes did not even meet the standards.

Degree certificates don't mean everything, but Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun are very clear that they still need to continue to study and improve, and they know very well that they still need to continue to work hard.

However, learning also requires exquisite and efficient learning, targeted improvement, this is the state they should have, this is the next college career plan for the two of them.

The two of them are living a sweet and happy life, and the two of them have not let go of their studies, and their career development is also booming, in addition to Ali and Facebook, the two projects that are almost the foundation of their lives, the next key projects of the two people, The Voice, are also progressing very well, which makes people happy.

Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun, who were at home, did not go out, so Anderson sent the rough first episode of the program over; the two of them were very heartfelt, because they had done what they could do, and what they needed to see now was the ability of the project leader.

Even if Zhang Xian said at the beginning that he wanted to see Kelly Claessen appear in the mentor's seat, but in the end he still didn't choose her, Zhang Xian was not unhappy, because the director team thought that the cost performance was not high, because Claisson's schedule did not match, because her offer was too high......

The two are well aware of their position, they are bosses, not executives, and they don't need to be hands-on.

Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun are now looking at "Evergreen Foundation - Principles for Sustainable Management of Enterprises", and there are also mentors who are analyzing and explaining to them.

This is one of the two most important management books of the 20th century, Forbes' 20 Best Business Bestsellers of the 20th Century, and although it is not necessarily a complete book to manage a company, such a classic book can still inspire people.

The two agreed with some of the book's ideas, such as the fact that many people believe that the continued growth of a company depends on the continuous operation of several good CEOs.

However, there are also those who believe that it is more important for a company to have a group of smart people who dare to try new things while maintaining the status quo than to have a charismatic leader.

Zhang Xian actually knew it in his heart, he just didn't want to say it, he knew the situation between him and Zhu Jiarun, and the two of them were able to have their current achievements, largely because of the dream.

So now they seem to be genius leaders, they have a unique vision, and they do have the ability to take a small company to a certain level in the short term, and they have the potential to make this company rise quickly under their own leadership. But such a company is likely to rely on leadership, such a company has a relatively low ability to resist risks, and it needs to rely on that genius leader.

There are outstanding and far-sighted charismatic leaders, but this kind of strongman is often detrimental to the long-term development of the company because of the worship of dictatorship or downcast employees. Foresight: The key to the success of a company is not people, but systems.

But once a company relies on leaders, when the leaders make strategic mistakes and so on, it will really encounter even catastrophic setbacks, or even collapse.

Zhang Xian thinks that he is not particularly talented, he knows very well that his ability may only be a little stronger than that of a Chinese person, and Zhu Jiarun also knows very well that she is not a genius, and it is difficult for her to guarantee that she is still so unique after losing some advantages.

Therefore, the two people now choose to delegate power, they need to cultivate a group of outstanding executives, and in the book "Evergreen", it is also mentioned that tapping the potential and talents within the company is better for the development of the company.

"Husband, what do you think of Anderson?" Eating popcorn and watching the rough version of the show, Zhu Jiarun asked, "Anderson is a person I think has excellent execution, but he is a little rigid and conservative." ”

Zhang Xian nodded, agreeing with Zhu Jiarun's judgment of Anderson, "He is a bit of a king, and it is not very realistic to expect him to fight the country." It's okay to expect him to do a good voice project, but I doubt his ability to innovate, and it may be difficult for the company to come up with another hit show in his hands. ”

After chatting with Anderson, the two of them were not particularly satisfied with Anderson's ability, but they were not dissatisfied with Anderson's work. Now is to let Anderson continue to do a good job steadily, although the Voice program is basically out, and it is about to enter the profit harvesting period, it is better to maintain stability now.

"We only have sponsorship fees and naming fees now, right?" The Voice project is about to face the audience, Zhang Xian has some gains and losses, "If we bet, we can take the advertising share, right?"

Zhu Jiarun nodded, in fact, he was also a little worried, because they invested a lot of money in this project, "If the ratings are average, let's not say that the advertising share can't be obtained, BC has also spent a lot of money and ability in this show, of course I don't want to lose money." ”

"The naming fee is too low, and the current advertising fee is not high. Zhang Xian sighed, helplessly but full of anticipation, "As long as this show is popular, the naming fee for the second season will definitely skyrocket, and the copyright can also be considered for sale." Even if there is an advertisement in between, the advertising fee will have to be increased. ”

What can be done, that's the reality, and NBC is willing to bet right now, because they've invested a lot of money in the hope of mitigating risk. If the ratings don't meet the requirements, they can minimize the loss or even lose money.

But if the ratings exceed expectations, then Zhang Xian will gain a lot and be able to put more cakes on their plates. Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun are full of confidence in the Voice project, so they choose the VAM agreement, while NBC, even if they lose in the VAM agreement, they can guarantee a part of the income, and if they win, the loss is small.

Patiently waiting for the results, Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun are now very patiently waiting for the results, they are now waiting for the results brought by such a program with high hopes.

There are some apprehensions, but more than that, they are still excited and happy, and there are not many changes in the lives of the two people, because such a project does not represent everything, their career is developing very well, and their assets are guaranteed enough.

The success of the project is to earn more, and the repercussions of the project generally do not affect the lives of the two people, so they have long been in an invincible position, so Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun's mentality will be so peaceful, because they are content and happy!
