Chapter 51: Integration Complete

(Thank you for the "Law", "Fuel Ethanol", "Thousands of Miles of Snow", "A Smoking Gun" tips, thank you for collecting and recommending friends.) I saw the one who built the house for Emma, but now there are a lot of women, I want to control it and try to arrange it. )

Sitting in the car, Li Jie casually flipped through today's newspapers, there were many reports on New York Fashion Week, and the news of the corona company's sponsorship of New York Fashion Week also appeared in some media, but it did not occupy a large space, but another news related to him was reprinted by several major newspapers.

Looking at the large photo in the newspaper of himself and Taylor Swift sitting side by side, looking at each other, I can only say that the photographer who captured the photo is so good that he just caught the moment when Li Jie turned his head and smiled, and it looked like the two of them were attending fashion week together, looking at each other with affection.

Li Jie was a little surprised, it seemed that he was always surrounded by all kinds of gossip and lace news, and even got down to business. The caption below the photo is also very strong:

Taylor, please spare Bruce Lee!

Generally speaking, in this case, the media will claim that he has an affair with the other party. This time it's completely different, and the reason why there is such an alternative title is actually because of Taylor Swift. This female singer, who is popular all over the world, doesn't know how to get a reputation of "changing boyfriends faster than changing clothes", and it seems that no matter where she goes, she will have scandals with others.

This situation may have something to do with Swift's way of doing things -- the singer-songwriter always writes sensitive lyrics about breakups, emotions, and exes, leaving fans to guess who they are writing about.

Other women fall out of love, just leave angry messages on the other person's voicemail, or cut and throw the other person's clothes on the street, but Taylor easily lets the world know that the other person has made a mistake.

Although she pleaded angrily in an interview: Everyone thinks that I am in love like a marquee, there are dozens of men, I either hugged on the red carpet, or had a meal together, or collaborated on a song, people think that I have an affair with them, which is ridiculous!

But it didn't work, people loved to watch such news, and the media didn't mean to let her go. Especially at the Golden Globe Awards one year, Taylor was teased in public by the host Tina. Tina said, "Taylor, I warn you, stay away from Michael J. Fox's son!" In fact, she just had a few words to talk to. Since then, "Taylor let so-and-so go" become a mantra for the public and the media to ridicule her.

In such an era when gossip news is exploding like a mushroom cloud, gossip itself has become a market strategy, and Taylor is a special product of this era, and I don't know if this is a kind of luck or misfortune.

However, this kind of gossip did not bother Li Jie in the slightest, and he then looked at it and threw it aside. He rushed to New York University's Oakheed Lab to communicate with Samson Bell and urge him to complete the research and development progress here, and then rushed to the Corona headquarters in New York.

The company's New York office is located at 111 Eighth Avenue in Manhattan, a 2.9 million square meter office building with more than 40 floors above ground, owned by Google Inc., and Li Jie rented an entire floor on the 33rd floor for his office. Although all of Corona's laboratories are currently located in New York, Li Kit still insists on setting up the company's headquarters here, which fully demonstrates his ambition.

In a luxurious conference room of more than 1,000 square meters, Corona held its first all-executive meeting. After months of gradual mergers and liquidations, the company is on track with more than 3,000 employees, including researchers. Although it is still far from Li Jie's expectations, it has finally taken a solid step.

A chubby Christopher stood in front of the projection screen and briefed a group of company executives on the planning of Corona's No. 1 Science Park, which was of course located in the greater Los Angeles area.

A beautifully crafted slideshow lifted the spirits of everyone in the audience: the first thing to show in front of them was a panoramic view of the concept of the park, which is more appropriately described as a satellite city than a new park. The most conspicuous thing is, of course, the abbreviation of the company's name and the capital "S" in the Sojitz logo, which appears in almost every key position. Located in Ventura County, with a planned area of more than 20 square kilometers, in addition to the main body of the futuristic R&D center building, there are staff dormitories, supermarkets, hospitals, schools, cinemas, bars and other living areas, neatly planned streets, parking lots, and the most mysterious underground research center, which will be the core of the entire park, which can be called a functional complex integrating scientific research, production, life, entertainment, community and communication. The first phase of investment alone is expected to be US$380 million, which shows the sheer size of the park. Fortunately, he now has a large amount of cash in hand, but he is worried that he will not be able to spend it and turn it into investment.

Of course, all of the above is still in the planning process, involving a lot of trivial and complicated details such as price negotiation, land use, municipal environment, sewage treatment, and pipeline laying. At this time, the relationships that Li Jie laid down came in handy, and how to make the relevant departments give the green light depends on the public relations personnel to achieve it.

As people and size grow, the need to change the organizational structure of a company that wants to continue to grow inevitably arises. Li Jie believes that only with these professional elites at hand, they can also do well, after all, the essential competitiveness of the corona company is technology research and development, and as long as he is there in technology research and development and innovation, there is no need to worry about finding a breakthrough.

But this is far from enough, although after he took over, these research institutions under his umbrella have almost put all the original research and development projects on hold, and the company will be in a situation of no new products for a long time, but when the new research and development projects break through one after another, the corona company will usher in a big explosion, at that time, it will need a strong team to control and assist him to expand the territory.

To this end, Li Jie decided to form a core executive team of about 7 to 11 people, each with their own expertise, and only in this way can he get things done without worries.

The executives who are currently in place include:

Li Jie himself, the owner of the company, chairman, chief executive officer (CEO) and chief technology officer (CTO);

Flor Marcos, Senior Vice President and General Counsel;

Samson Bell, President of Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer;

Christopher Henderson, Executive Vice President (Strategy, Portfolio Management & Global Commercial Operations);

Izakil Christian, Chief Operating Officer (COO);

Kit Leslie, Chief Financial Officer (CFO);

Tim Rabbi, Chief Liaison Officer (Internal and External Liaison, Public Affairs & Policy).

Of course, as the company gradually operates and develops, the positions of these people will be adjusted. In fact, in Li Jie's plan, he also needs to be able to manage president-level executives in many aspects such as corporate structure, human resources, strategy and corporate affairs development, marketing department, business division, etc., but he can't become fat in one bite, so he can only build up the shelves first and then slowly fill them.

As for the R&D directors including multiple laboratories, Li Jie only asked them to participate through video conference calls, and Gilbert Gordon's Corbyster 1 laboratory was directly under Li Jie's jurisdiction, which belonged to the most special and almost invisible department, and even avoided it completely during discussions.

The biggest peculiarity of Corona Company is that all the equity of the company is concentrated in Li Jie, which can only be achieved by creating it with personal assets like him, which is impossible for any slightly larger company, let alone those listed companies.

"Gentlemen." Li Jie sat at the top of the conference table, tapping lightly on the tabletop. "Corona is a nascent collective, but it's definitely incredibly vibrant, something that some of you have begun to understand, and others will gradually come to terms with it in the future."

"Soon, there will be a lot of new products coming to market, so I hope that everyone will be able to work together to prepare for it before then." Li Jie paused for a moment, then continued. "Corona's organizational structure will be different from the usual, and we will establish an adjustable structure with project research and development as the core. Our company will continue to have new technological innovations, far beyond your imagination. Therefore, as soon as a new R&D project is launched, the corresponding departments involved need to strike quickly and seize the opportunity. Under the influence of this project, the organizational structure of the company has undergone a certain deformation, and the process will not change, but the number and content of the contact between departments have changed. ”

Every large company has a very different organizational structure. Different companies' growth histories, different business structures, and different management styles make their architecture diagrams significantly different.

The Amazon is like a pyramid, hierarchical and orderly; Google is clearly structured, but products and departments are intertwined and chaotic; Facebook's architecture is fragmented, like a network of discrete ones; Microsoft's internal self-occupation is the king, and the warlord style is deeply rooted in the bone marrow; In the past, the apple was completely decided by one person, and with the departure of that person, it gradually became mediocre; As for the huge Oracle, the bloated legal department is clearly more important and larger than the engineering department.

In Lee's vision, the structure of Corona is like its logo, with two circles radiating outward from the center of the circle, the circle next to itself is slightly smaller, representing various laboratories and R&D projects, and the outermost circle is the largest, representing the company's huge management and operation departments.
