The news that QQ stopped maintenance did not go beyond the expectations of any Internet person, but this news still shocked many Internet people.
Not unexpected, because QQ is indeed far from a rival to YY; still shocked, because they discovered that a god-level product with over 100 million registered users, the highest user stickiness in the industry, could actually die like this Fast, this also allowed them to witness with their own eyes the cruelty of the market and the horror of Makino Technology.
For a long time, competition in the Internet field has been a protracted war, because as long as any platform or product reaches scale, it will definitely generate a certain degree of user stickiness. If you want to destroy the opponent, you must first change the habits of sticky users, which itself is a long-term problem. The process of hard work.
However, Makino Technology's battle to destroy QQ completely shocked all companies in the industry, because they discovered that the market rules they followed before have completely changed in the hands of Makino Technology. Even products like QQ can be short-lived by this devastating blitzkrieg. If it is defeated within time, other companies will be even less likely to be opponents of Makino Technology.
For a time, the Internet industry was in turmoil and everyone was in danger.
Everyone is worried that one day Makino Technology will lose its mind and expand new business lines, and it will steal their jobs, because for any company, once the business line conflicts with Makino Technology, it almost indicates that it will encounter the most serious problem in the industry. A powerful opponent.
Shanda is afraid of Makino Technology for online games, NetEase is afraid of Makino Technology for email, Kingsoft and Rising are afraid of Makino Technology for anti-virus software, and Yahoo, Sina and Sohu are afraid of Makino Technology for portals.
Although Li Mu currently makes "Miracle MU", "Miracle MU" has not been integrated into Makino Technology. Although "Miracle MU" has brought great pressure to Legend, what Shanda is really afraid of is actually Makino Technology's own use of YY. The product ecology and user base of YY will directly make games, because in that case, the YY ecology's support for game operations will have a huge impact on their future development.
In fact, Li Mu doesn't want to compete with them for business right now. Although Li Mu will compete for their business sooner or later, what Li Mu wants to compete for now is Teng Xun's team.
Most of the employees who were laid off by Tengxun were from the QQ project division. Although QQ failed and gave up on themselves, they were still the best talents in the domestic instant messaging industry. The reason why YY was able to get rid of them QQ, not because of how powerful YY's technical team is, but because Li Mu not only wrote the big framework for YY, but also acted as YY's product manager, and even formulated and directed various strategies and tactics. In the end, YY Only then did we defeat QQ. Otherwise, QQ would always be unparalleled in this industry. This shows how awesome its technical team is.
Of course Mr. Ma also knows this. He has a technical background and knows a lot about technology. He cannot bear to give up on everyone on the QQ technical team, but reality is reality. Since he has decided to give up QQ, then QQ technology, operations And the supporting team are the departments that will bear the brunt of being laid off. When Mr. Ma gives up QQ, he is giving up the entire market of instant messaging software. In this case, these professionals in the field of instant messaging have become a burden to him. .
They are a burden to Mr. Ma, but they are the talents that Li Mu dreams of getting. The talents that Li Mu hopes for most are mainly concentrated in two aspects, one is technical talents, and the other is management talents.
Needless to say, management talents, but technical talents determine the speed of Makino Technology’s future product development.
A piece of software from other companies has to go through project establishment, requirement determination, requirement adjustment several times, and re-development. During the development process, the requirements will also be changed several times. After development is completed, it will have to go through several rounds of testing and bug fixes before it is mature, but for Li Mu For example, as long as there are enough technical talents, he only needs to set a correct direction and ensure that everyone does not take detours. The rest depends on how many people he has to work together. The more people, the faster the speed.
Therefore, after Li Mu received the news that QQ had stopped maintenance, he immediately asked Kong Lingyu to notify Chen Hui and ask him to come to his office.
A few minutes later, a somewhat nervous Chen Hui knocked on the door of Li Mu's office, then pushed the door open and entered.
"Mr. Li, you are looking for me."
Li Mu smiled slightly, pointed to the chair in front of him, and said, "Come on, Chen Hui, sit down first."
Chen Hui nodded, walked over and sat down opposite Li Mu. During his previous interview, he didn't know that the silent young man sitting next to Kong Lingyu was the real boss of the company. Only after joining Makino Technology did he know The truth of the matter was that Li Mu had now gone through many levels and notified him to come to his office, which made Chen Hui inevitably feel uneasy.
After Chen Hui sat down, Li Mu did not get straight to the point, but asked him: "Are you still adapting to your time in the company?"
"It's quite adaptable." Chen Hui nodded repeatedly: "The director gave me a lot of responsibility, and he also made me realize that my abilities are not just what I knew before, so I have been constantly pushing myself to get more skills recently. It’s very fulfilling to work hard and unleash more potential.”
Li Mu asked him: "Did your girlfriend from college come to our company to report?"
Chen Hui smiled shyly and said, "Not yet. I asked in a roundabout way. She should come to join the company on the 27th, which is the last Monday of this month."
Li Mu smiled and said, "That won't be long."
"Yes." Chen Hui was afraid that Li Mu would have objections to this, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, if we can get back together, I will resign from the company immediately."
Li Mu said: "When you say this, I feel that the company is just a tool for you to get your girlfriend back, and you will kick her out after you use it."
Chen Hui hurriedly waved his hand and said: "That's not what I meant, Mr. Li. What I mean is that although I really hope to stay at Makino Technology, if the two of us can really get back together, I have to respect the company's regulations."
Li Mu smiled and said: "What Mr. Kong meant that day was just that we don't advocate it. If we don't advocate it, we are against it. So whether you two succeed or not, you can stay and work in Makino Technology."
Chen Hui asked in surprise: "Is it true, Mr. Li?"
Li Mu nodded: "I've said so, who would have any opinions? No matter how much I advocate internal equality, I can't even have this little decision-making power."
Chen Hui scratched his head: "You are right."
Li Mu saw that he seemed to be more relaxed, so he brought the topic to the right track and asked him: "By the way, have you received the news that QQ has stopped maintenance?"
Chen Hui nodded with a regretful expression: "I received it."
Li Mu asked again: "What is the situation of your former colleagues now?"
Chen Hui sighed and said: "Most people are unemployed. Although the company promised to give N+1 compensation, most employees are still very frustrated. Some of them have been doing instant messaging for two or three years. They are definitely the most popular in China." High-end talents in this industry, but now they basically have no chance of finding a job by relying on this major. Some people go to some Shenzhen-based Internet companies for interviews, and their salaries are not even half of what they were before.”
Internet technical talents sometimes have to endure this kind of embarrassment. When others can't use your strongest thing, you are nothing in the eyes of others, and it is meaningless no matter how powerful you are.
Li Mu asked Chen Hui: "Do you have an approximate number of people who have been laid off in QQ's technical department and operations department?"
Chen Hui thought for a while and said: "Not counting the support department, there should be about a hundred people in the technical and operational departments alone. It is equivalent to all professionals in the field of instant messaging being laid off, and the rest are Core management, as well as some people with relatively more comprehensive skills.”
Li Mu understood, and it was not much different from what he had guessed. Mr. Ma had given up QQ, but he would not give up the Internet. He still had funds, a team, and capital support. He would definitely abandon QQ and find a new field. Make a comeback.
No matter what he plans to do in the future, Li Mu can at least be sure of one thing. He will not make instant messaging software anymore. YY's biggest enemy has disappeared.
Li Mu felt very relaxed when he thought of this, and asked Chen Hui: "If Makino Technology is willing to give them a salary that is no less than what they received at Tengxun, do you think they will be willing to come to Yanjing for development?"
The careless Chen Hui didn't know that this was the core purpose of Li Mu looking for him today. When he heard Li Mu say this, he immediately became excited and asked Li Mu: "Mr. Li, are you kidding me? "
Li Mu smiled and said, "Of course not."
Chen Hui said: "Most of them are from other places. If there are no good development opportunities in Shenzhen City, and Yanjing can provide them with a relatively ideal treatment, I think they will definitely be willing to come."
Li Mu then said: "Well, let's do this. Before your ex-girlfriend joins the job, you can go on a business trip these days and go to the Shenzhen market. I'll give you a week. During this week, you can try your best to make the best use of your previous QQ. Make an appointment with people from the technical and operational departments to meet and chat. I will assign you an HR. Then I will introduce our situation to your former colleagues. If they are interested, they can talk directly to HR and the negotiation will be concluded. Just come here and join the company, what do you think?"
Chen Hui immediately stood up excitedly and said, "Mr. Li, I don't have any questions!"
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, picked up the phone on the table and dialed Lin Qingya directly, saying to her: "Qingya, pick an eloquent, smart, and beautiful girl from HR, and then let her come to Come to my office."
A moment later, a beautiful girl about twenty-five years old appeared in Li Mu's office. The girl's name was Zhang Xiaodi. She was a P6 HR in the human resources department. She was an ordinary headhunter in a cooperative headhunting company because of her good eloquence and clever mind. , Lin Qingya, who had just taken over the human resources job, caught the eye of Lin Qingya and hired her directly.
Zhang Xiaodi is a local girl from Yanjing. Not only is she beautiful, she also has a very good personality. She is well-spoken and can chat with anyone. IT technical men are generally dull and nervous and shy when meeting beautiful girls, so I sent one In the past, beautiful girls who were eloquent could better convince them and make them make decisions about Makino Technology.
Li Mu briefly told Zhang Xiaodi about her requirements. Tomorrow she and Chen Hui will go to Shenzhen City together. Chen Hui is responsible for inviting former Tengxun employees out to have dinner and meet each other. Zhang Xiaodi is responsible for promoting the salary of Makino Technology to these former Tengxun employees. In short, the level standards and welfare benefits are all about impressing the other party as much as possible. Regardless of whether Makino Technology finally decides to sign the other party, the other party must first make a decision in their mind that they are willing to come to Yanjing to join Makino Technology, so that they can take the initiative. .
In addition, Li Mu also asked Zhang Xiaodi to give each former Tengxun employee an impression score through chatting at the dinner table. At that time, the impression score will be combined with the other person's resume and reflected in the comprehensive evaluation.
Zhang Xiaodi communicated face-to-face with Li Mu for the first time. She was very excited to be awarded an important task by the president of the company. She listened and memorized every word Li Mu said with great concentration, and was secretly determined to solve this matter. Beautifully done.
After Chen Hui and Zhang Xiaodi both made clear their mission for tomorrow's business trip, Li Mu asked Chen Hui to go back first. After Chen Hui left, Li Mu said to Zhang Xiaodi who stayed behind: "After arriving in Shenzhen City, when discussing the salary with them in detail , if the other party is dissatisfied with the treatment, you can provide the other party with a certain premium based on the other party's work experience and experience. The standard of the premium cannot exceed the other party's original salary, or correspond to 20% of the normal salary within Makino Technology's level, otherwise Once his salary after joining is exposed, the premium will be too high, which will have a negative impact on the company's current technical staff."
The reason why he waited until Chen Hui left to say this was that Li Mu was afraid that he would be foolish enough to confess directly to his former colleagues. Li Mu still tried his best to recruit these former Tengxun talents to Yanjing according to normal salary packages. , it’s not that he is reluctant to spend more money, but that he wants to maintain the relative fairness of employees’ salaries as much as possible, and cannot make old employees feel that they are not valued, or even have prejudices against new employees.
Zhang Xiaodi immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will do my best to handle this matter well."
Li Mu said: "This batch of technical and operational employees laid off by Tengxun total at least one hundred people. Chen Hui's KPI for this business trip is how many people he introduced to you, and your KPI is how many people will eventually Give up Shenzhen City and come to Yanjing to join Makino Technology. If the success rate exceeds 50%, you will be considered qualified. If it exceeds 70%, I will ask Mr. Lin to upgrade you to another level next month!"
Zhang Xiaodi smiled and said: "Then I will try my best to dig!"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Go and dig boldly. It's best to dig him out!"
The third update is 4K. Although there is one less update today, the total word count is still 10,000+.
