Chapter 1480: Fill it with chicken soup

Views:

"Microsoft is recruiting software engineers and the salary is favorable."

Feng Yu looked at the recruitment advertisement on Microsoft's official website and curled his lips. Microsoft was still so arrogant. There was no specific description, just an ambiguous sentence.

However, thanks to the strong image Microsoft has given people in the past, the effect has been very good. There are obviously fewer people submitting resumes to companies under Fengyu Holdings Group. How many people in the software industry have a lifelong dream of entering Microsoft.

But Microsoft today is no longer the Microsoft it was back then. At this time in the previous life, many people at Microsoft had resigned, joined other companies, or started their own businesses.

Later, Microsoft laid off a large number of employees to reduce expenses.

In the previous life, Microsoft was still the overlord of PC operating systems, and it had to start layoffs and reductions. Not to mention that now that Microsoft has a competitor like Lianxiang Yinshan, its position as the overlord is already unstable.

Feng Yu thinks Microsoft's expansion in China is a failure. There are so many small software companies that have been merged at a premium, and there may be a lot of talent among them, but there are also a lot of mediocre people.

If Microsoft's Vista is as easy to sell as XP, then Microsoft's profits will not be a problem even if it supports thousands more people. But now the sales of the Vista system are too poor. Although the price is very high, the profit is still far from being comparable to that of XP.

What's more, many people have no plans to change their systems now, and many people have changed their systems, but they replaced them with xos, not xp. Even PCs with pre-installed systems have better sales with xos.

But in the eyes of all consumers, Microsoft is still the most powerful, and in the eyes of all software engineers, Microsoft is still the Big Mac.

Wait a minute, why are there people discussing Microsoft recruitment on the official websites of Lianxiang Group, Lianxiang Yinshan, Guge, Amazon and other companies, and calling on everyone to submit resumes to Microsoft

Damn it, Microsoft is also starting to play soft-text advertising? !

"Boss, after the Microsoft recruitment advertisement appeared, some of the people who passed our interview did not plan to sign the contract. They are going to apply for Microsoft!" Masao Kameda reported somewhat depressedly.

Those people are really blind. The positions we gave you are all engineers from companies such as Guge and Amazon. We have just been listed on the market and have huge potential. Can't you see it

Is Microsoft, a declining company, that good? The reputation is so bad, why do you still want to dig in

"What, what are you thinking?" Feng Yu looked at Masao Kameda, as if he had something to say but couldn't say.

"Boss, actually we have a way to attack Microsoft."

Feng Yu asked cooperatively: "What method? Just tell me directly. Don't hesitate."

"That means you, boss, come forward in person! As long as you, boss, come forward, countless people will respond. Microsoft, even Bill Gates and Paul Allen combined, can't do it! This will make Microsoft retreat!" "

The reason Kameda Masao didn't say it directly was because he knew that Feng Yu didn't like to face the media or even appear in front of the camera.

But if Feng Yu is willing to make some concessions now, then using the exposure of Feng Yu's mysterious impression for many years as an attraction will definitely give Microsoft a heavy blow.

"If I show up, countless people will respond? Are you too optimistic?"

A person's halo is limited. Feng Yu may be more influential than the most famous singers and movie stars in the world, but it's not that exaggerated, right

"Of course, boss, you have to give some speeches. Speeches like Qiao Busi's that can inspire others. I think if you give a speech, the average ticket price is 10,000 US dollars, and we can easily sell a huge All the seats in the stadium.”

It's like Buffett's lunch auction, which costs tens or millions of dollars. In fact, Buffett didn't say too much, and he wouldn't give you too many opinions. He just talked to you about some things that seemed to be common.

It’s up to you whether you can learn the information you need from these common things.

For example, while eating, Buffett said that I like red wine, but more young people like Coke, so you should buy Coca-Cola stock, which will definitely rise a lot.

Buffett asked what kind of car you drove here. It consumes a lot of fuel. Some people would like you to buy this kind of car. That means oil-related stocks are going to rise.

Of course, there are also people who don’t learn anything at the end of a meal, but it gives great publicity to their company or to themselves. This kind of publicity may have a better effect than millions of dollars. .

Buffett turned his name into a brand, but Feng Yu had no interest in it.

"Going to do that kind of large-scale speech? Do you think I will go?" Feng Yu glanced at Buffett, "But your words have reminded me. Maybe we can give them some chicken soup for the soul!"

"Chicken Soup for the Soul? That best-selling book?" Masao Kameda had heard of a very popular book, and he even had an original English copy on his bookshelf.

However, many of the so-called inspirational stories in it are very one-sided in his opinion. But many people still regard these words as their motto, well, mostly young people.

"It's not that book, but a short sentence similar to the content in that book. We can call it a chicken soup article. But this time, the chicken soup article can be published in my name. There should be some Effect."

Chicken soup articles about past lives are not only popular in China, but also in many countries around the world. Of course, many of them are chicken soup articles created by netizens, and then they are named after a celebrity and become famous quotes!

The correct way to express Chicken Soup for the Soul is to talk about some low-probability events to make you think that anyone can do it.

For example, "Keep dreaming and never give up, and you will succeed."

This sentence is like someone taking the wrong road, going in the wrong direction. Although in theory he can reach his destination after circling the earth, but in reality

Some people's dreams are obviously just a fantasy. Why do you want them to persist? Some people can't even afford food. If you let them persist in their dream of learning to paint, they will surely become famous one day. This is mostly what teachers who run painting training classes say.

There are also the kind of sentences that actually say nothing and are a kind of snake oil.

Or some idioms are replaced with some slightly literary words and re-translated into so-called famous quotes. This is the same as the essays written in school when I was a child, such as failure is the mother of success.

And many of the inspirational articles in the textbooks when I was in school were concocted. Some cannot be verified, and some cannot stand scrutiny at all.

"Let me just say one thing, find someone to write out the rest and show it to me. What I'm saying is, instead of doing nothing in other companies, why not come to my company and let's change the world together!"
