Rewrite the Technological Landscape

An Oracle incident is slowly stirring up the global software landscape, and IBM is also beginning to move around, and it is very likely to intervene in the acquisition, making the situation even more confusing.

And Dafeng Group really didn’t go to Oracle to poach people, because Herman’s cronies had already dug up all the people who could be dug up before. In addition, Dafeng Group has been expanding its talent pool through various channels. They don't need the people of Oracle that much anymore. It's better to give it to Huaxia's software company, and it can also prevent PeopleSoft from feeling that they are using him. After all, they are also in a cooperative relationship with PeopleSoft now, so there is no need to cause some unpleasant things.

The outside world is very complicated, but Meng Qian actually put more energy on the company this April, because Dafeng Group encountered some troubles.

The first thing is the joint prosecution from Taiwan Province.

For the development of the company, Meng Qian also inevitably did one thing, a violent acquisition. After all, he is the richest man in China, and the cash flow is relatively healthy. The acquisition feels like a local tyrant throwing money, which is extremely arrogant.

For example, Soltec and Soyo, which have been going downhill for the past two years, were bought by Dafeng Group, and they are actually doing well now, but Panzheng and Abit, which are about to go downhill according to their past history, were also bought by Dafeng Group. The group bought it.

Computer users, especially DIY users, who have experienced from the late 1990s to the early 21st century should all recognize these four brands. Tektronix, in 2002, was the number one motherboard brand in mainland China, surpassing the Big Three.

Unfortunately, all four companies share some common weaknesses.

Two of the most important points are capital and channels. For example, Soyo and ABIT have died in the hands of cash reserves. On the other hand, the lack of resources prevents them from getting some first-hand newspapers and high-end brands. It is also one of the reasons why many motherboard brands in this era have become a pity.

However, the acquisition of several companies, especially some companies that are about to go bankrupt, is nothing to offend people. The problem is that when the rich and powerful Dafeng Group faced the three giants, ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte, because they could not buy the company, they paid a lot of money to buy it. People's companies are poaching talents, no, they will not be happy immediately.

A joint lawyer's letter was sent to Dafeng Group soon, suing Dafeng Group for malicious competition.

In fact, the related incident started a few months ago, but the legal department was able to handle it at the beginning. After all, I have money and I value talents. I am willing to spend a lot of money to recruit talents.

This kind of thing is inherently ambiguous in the market.

But now Meng Qian had to come forward in person mainly because the company's acquisition was a bit ruthless, leading to the joint name of dozens of companies in Taiwan Province, and Meng Qian was interviewed by the relevant department, so he had to deal with it peacefully.

But in the past few months, the company's capabilities have been greatly improved through violent acquisitions in Taiwan Province, but also because of violent acquisitions, some problems have appeared within the company.

For example, one day in April, Meng Qian had an argument with Huo Zhiming, who was in charge of the mould.

There are public models and private models for notebooks. Generally, except for some high-end models, everyone will be accustomed to using public models. After all, it can save a lot of money. If it doesn’t work, you have to start again. If it still doesn’t work, you have to start over all the time, burning money.

"Mr. Meng, this is the 15th time you have shaken your head. I really don't understand what you want?!" Huo Zhiming had a very painful expression.

"What I want is clearly stated on the task list. Now that you ask such a question, I really don't understand what you want."

"The problem is that we have already followed your requirements, but you have asked us for details again and again. Mr. Meng, I have been in this business for decades. No company has such high requirements for details. No consumer has such high requirements for details. For laymen, they simply cannot feel the extreme details we pursue.

The public's aesthetic ability and public perception are there, and such an extreme pursuit of details is an unnecessary investment. "

"So you can't do it?" Meng Qian's attitude today is also tough, because this is not the first time Huo Zhiming has asked him to say similar things.

"It's not that it can't be done. The problem is that time is so tight now, and so many departments are waiting for the results from our side. If the company can give us three years, we can also slowly grind the details, but now we can give us more at most. During our three months, I hope Mr. Meng can understand the pressure our entire team has been under."

"Old Huo, do you know where your biggest problem lies?"

Huo Zhiming was silent.

The reason why Meng Qian spoke rudely was that he knew that Huo Zhiming's question had to be clarified, "You are too protective of the calf, no matter what the employees below you say, you will choose to appease them. Slowly, they found that their leader is It's a good punching bag, but you can tell your leader any negative emotions you have.

And you are just like what they expected, always thinking about how to speak up for the people below, and even people with your personality will come to my office to quarrel with me time and time again.

I can understand your thinking, you want to be a good leader, a good leader who is liked by subordinates, but a good leader is definitely not just to satisfy the people below, let alone be a punching bag.

I personally dug you to the company. What I value is your ability and your attitude of striving for perfection. Now I really regret that I should not let you be the project leader. You are a good teacher, but not a good one. lead. "

Huo Zhiming suddenly didn't know how to respond, Meng Qian saw that Huo Zhiming began to appear flustered, and then he calmed down a bit, "Have you calmed down? If you can also go with you like me When the people below talk, I believe they will become more rational instead of complaining in your ears every day.

Huo, you can speak up for the people below you to complain to me, what about me? Who can I complain to for you? What is leadership? A leader is not only a manager but also a guide.

I still remember when I first met you, you said that excellence is the best quality abandoned by this era, Lao Huo, it’s a pity that you were influenced by the people below, and also by your current position. "

In fact, Huo Zhiming still didn't realize his problem in a short period of time, and he was still speaking for the people below, "But the company's requirements are really high, and everyone's pressure is really great."

Meng Qian frowned and looked at Huo Zhiming, "Come with me."

Ten minutes later, Meng Qian came to the mold group, and dozens of employees saw Meng Qian subconsciously put down the work at hand, "I heard that everyone is under a lot of pressure recently, so I came to visit you."

"No, no." Several people immediately shook their heads.

"Talk about any problems, and I will let the company solve them for everyone as soon as possible."

All the employees looked at each other and no one spoke. Meng Qian smiled and asked, "Is the project support from the company not enough?"

"No." Someone said cautiously, "No company has ever spent so much money on molds. We have taken advantage of the company."

"Is that because the welfare is not good enough?"

"Okay, great"

"Isn't working overtime a bit too serious? Do you want everyone to take a break recently?"

"No, no, no, everyone is working hard, and we don't count, don't count."

Huo Zhiming on the side stared at his subordinates with wide eyes, his head was buzzing, he couldn't believe that he mustered up the courage to fight for them in front of Meng Qian, but they didn't complain a word in front of Meng Qian Yes, even all kinds of good.

Meng Qian smiled and pulled Huo Zhiming out of the door, "Old Huo, management is a science, but the most basic point is that managers must not be led by the nose by the people below.

Most of the grassroots employees have one thing in common, that is, they like to complain, because there is no cost for them to complain, but after working for so many years, you should have seen many people complaining about the company while staying at the company and refusing to leave. This is the ridiculousness of the workplace. The place.

Many people even think that I will die in this company, and they will still complain. "

"Mr. Meng, I'm sorry." Huo Zhiming looked ashamed, "I don't think I'm really suitable to be a manager."

"Old Huo, I personally arranged your position. If you encounter problems, it will be my negligence." Meng Qian said and patted Huo Zhiming on the shoulder, "The Dafeng Group's product appearance depends on you, can you Don't abandon me, I'm lost without you."

Huo Zhiming's eyebrows twitched, "Mr. Meng, don't worry, I will make the products that the company wants even if I work hard!"

After saying goodbye to Huo Zhiming and returning to the office, when Meng Qian calmed down, He Yating reported, "Recently, there are still many situations similar to the mold group, especially in the sales department, many salesmen are complaining.

The development of the computer business department is a bit fast, and many people are gathered together through acquisitions. Some old leaders of the company can't hold them down, and the negative emotions are a bit heavy.

Especially for some old fritters who have been used to dawdling in other companies before, the HR department still has a lot to let go of if they want to speed up the processing. Too many acquisitions are bringing some bad effects to the company. "

Meng Qian's eyes gradually became firmer, "Go and collect the negative emotional contradictions in various departments of the computer business department, and make a form and send it to me as soon as possible."

"OK."

After He Yating left, Meng Qian called, "Jin Miao, do you have time recently?"

"It's okay, what's the matter?"

"Do me a favor."
