Regarding the Skynet system project, Li Mu's request to Lin Qingya was to collect all surveillance equipment R&D and production companies across the country and hire a professional evaluation company to evaluate them one by one. Be sure to have an in-depth understanding of each company's situation.
The requirement for Fang Xudong is: first have an in-depth understanding of the current technical situation in the industry. In terms of hardware, see whose cameras, video compression cards, and hard disk recorders currently have outstanding technologies; in terms of software, look at video encoding protocols, compression Start looking for protocols and transmission protocols.
Li Mu's consideration for software and hardware technology is: if there are great companies, just accept them. Anyway, this industry is just starting out now at best. No matter how great it will be in the future, it will still be a group of struggling workers. With the current strength of Makino Technology, it is estimated that it will be easy to acquire any domestic security monitoring company.
In addition to the company, there is another more important core, which is core technology. Li Mu’s requirement is: if there is good technology, just buy it, if it is not good, develop it yourself. Makino Technology itself has a set of awesome streaming media solutions , the R&D strength of the technical team is still very strong.
At the same time, Li Mu also asked Fang Xudong to find ways to pay attention to laboratories and R&D institutions with strong influence in related fields in the world. Once Makino Technology starts to do relevant R&D work, it can further improve its own capabilities through cooperative R&D or exclusive use. Technical reserves.
In short, Li Mu’s point of view is: if you want to come up with a complete set of excellent solutions, in addition to not losing to others in every core point, you must also be superior to others in at least one of the core points. This is not only Li Mu’s current The purpose of making Skynet is also the purpose of Li Mu making other hardware in the future.
Fang Xudong and Lin Qingya took the order and left. Although neither of them knew whether the future security monitoring market would really be as big as Li Mu said, as long as Li Mu said it, they were willing to believe it, even if the future was unclear, they would still believe it.
Li Mu believes that the market share of the security and surveillance industries will become larger and larger. In the future, every city will have multiple surveillance systems. The Skynet system alone can easily reach tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of units in a city. In addition to cameras, the monitoring of traffic systems is also a huge market, not to mention the financial industry that wants to monitor all areas with 300% cross coverage.
The video surveillance market has huge potential and huge responsibilities, so Li Mu hopes that Makino Technology can take the lead in the surveillance market and take the lead in technology. It will not only benefit the society, but also directly raise the entry threshold for the entire industry, making it possible for some People who enter this industry and try to fish in troubled waters quit when faced with difficulties.
Li Mu himself still has many lofty ambitions, but when he was struggling to make ends meet as a code farmer, he didn’t have the ability to help the world. He just thought about many big-level things but didn’t have the ability to implement them. But now he has the ability. Li Mu hopes to do something that can contribute to society as much as possible. After all, geese leave their voices and people leave their names. Li Mu not only hopes to make money, but also hopes to leave something to the society that can truly benefit the people.
Doing things with a strong sense of social responsibility can give Li Mu a stronger sense of accomplishment, especially while benefiting society and making money for himself. In this way, he not only achieves his goals and fulfills his ambitions, but also gains fame and fortune in the end. , is the best situation for being an entrepreneur.
The Skynet system is a good thing that can bring you both fame and fortune. Once you can come up with a truly awesome Skynet system solution, it will not only prove that you can win government procurement, but also prove that you are in the absolute leading position in the entire industry. By then, the Skynet surveillance line will become a "DJI" under its own banner. Moreover, the security surveillance market is much larger than the civilian drone market.
…
While staying in the office of Makino Technology, Senior Brother Liu called Li Mu and teased him: "Did you know that a large number of reporters would come to your door today, so you hid in advance? If you don't come, Mr. Lei and I will I’m almost fed up with these reporters.”
Li Mu smiled and said: "I have also seen big scenes. How could I be afraid of reporters? I mainly wanted to meet Lao Fang and talk about the Skynet surveillance system."
Senior Brother Liu asked in surprise: "Skynet surveillance system? What's the trick?"
Senior Brother Liu and Leader Lei did not go to Pinggu with Li Mu yesterday to participate in the city bureau's rescue of Wei Lan because they had to work on Taobao yesterday, so he did not know the entire ins and outs of the Skynet system.
Li Mu said to him: "Weilan's kidnapping makes me a little worried about the city's security. I am thinking that Makino Technology will acquire one or two companies that produce video surveillance hardware, and then the development team of Makino Technology will cooperate. Develop a high-quality solution for the urban surveillance system, and strive to ensure that most public areas in the city can be closely monitored 24 hours a day."
Senior Brother Liu said in surprise: "The plan is so big, are you planning a government project?"
"Yeah." Li Mu said, "I haven't tried any government projects yet. The government has given so much support to Makino Technology and Taobao. It's up to us to help the government solve its problems."
Brother Liu agreed and said: "That's why I keep saying that your structure is different compared to ours. I really admire you more and more. If you succeed in this project and it is adopted by governments across the country, it will be really great." Significant!"
Li Mu laughed and said, "Stop complimenting me. It's not too late to compliment me after I figure it out."
After speaking, Li Mu asked him: "Let's get down to business. What do you want from me?"
Senior Brother Liu said: "At the celebration party tonight, I discussed with Mr. Lei and planned to create a bigger incentive. What do you think?"
Li Mu said without hesitation: "I have no objection. We have accomplished such great achievements together, so incentives should be given, and the more timely the better."
In Li Mu's view, the most important quality for a leader is "willingness to share profits." Once a city is captured and a war is won, rewards must be given based on merit, and the sooner the better, so that the enemy can't wait Before their corpses were cleaned, they would step on the enemy's corpses and share the profits with everyone. Only in this way can the momentum of the entire team be guaranteed, or in other words, the wolf nature.
What is wolfishness? Only wolves who have eaten meat and know how delicious it is will fight tooth and nail to eat meat. This is wolf nature!
Senior Brother Liu said: "I originally wanted to wait for you to come over today and the three of us would have a chat together, but you never came, so I made a phone call to chat with you. The initial plan between the two of us is: spend 10 million yuan. Let’s reward everyone for their outstanding performance in this 929 promotion.”
Li Mu said: "Ten million is no problem, the key is how to distribute it? This should be as fair as possible, so as not to make some employees dissatisfied."
Senior Brother Liu said: "So this time we are not going to set the standard by department and level, but directly by employee salary. Our current average monthly salary expense for the entire company is more than 4 million, and 10 million can increase the salary for all employees." 2.2 months’ salary, so we simply give each person 2.2 times their monthly salary as a reward for this 929 promotion.”
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "There is nothing wrong with this logic, but 2.2 times the monthly salary is a bit petty. If you ask me, just triple the monthly salary for all employees as bonuses, and then starting from next month, the company will organize everyone to travel overseas. "
Senior Brother Liu was stunned: "Travel abroad? Such a big deal?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Yes, it's an overseas trip, but it's not suitable if it's too far away. Traveling is for relaxation, not rushing. Forget about countries where you can spend more than ten hours at a time. Forget about countries where you need to visit and play. Let’s choose a tropical coastal country in Southeast Asia, preferably an island, where everyone can enjoy the beach, blue sea, blue sky and white clouds every day, and do nothing but play and sleep, completely relaxing!”
After that, Li Mu asked again: "Since we are going out to play, everything must be based on the most comfortable criterion. The time plan should be longer. Give everyone five days off, and then take a weekend before and after, so a total of nine days. If you remove the tail, you’ll be completely entertained for at least a week!”
Senior Brother Liu was speechless for a long time, and after a long time he sighed: "Oh my God, you are so rich and willful! There are hundreds of people in the company, and this is almost tens of millions..."
Li Mu smiled and said: "We have 8.22 billion more accumulated funds on our books in one day. Let's not talk about how much improvement this time can bring to Taobao's valuation. Just this 8.22 billion will be added after one month's accounting period. Have you calculated the interest rate?"
Senior Brother Liu smiled and said: "After calculation... with so much money, it's probably hundreds of thousands a day..."
Li Mu said: "Yes, with the bonus and travel, I guess it just cost interest money."
For now, there are very few actual examples of Internet companies being very generous to their employees, but Li Mu has witnessed countless with his own eyes. After any startup company succeeds, as long as the boss doesn't fuck up, it can basically create a bunch of rich people. Chen Tianqiao’s younger brother Chen Danian gave his WIFI master key team a Tesla each. It’s not that people are stupid and have too much money, but that the team has indeed created huge value for themselves. In the face of such huge value, tens of millions really don’t count. What.
Senior Brother Liu no longer expressed surprise at this time, but said happily: "This time I can also take advantage of it."
After finishing speaking, Senior Brother Liu asked Li Mu: "Where do you think it is appropriate to go?"
Li Mu thought for a while and said with a smile: "I think the Maldives. There will be about 500 of us going there in three waves. When the time comes, we will rent an island directly. Find an island that can accommodate more than 100 people and rent it for a month!"
The Maldives had been hyped by the Internet for so many years in his previous life. Every day they said that if they didn’t go there, they would disappear forever. This made Li Mu feel very itchy. However, he had probably learned about it after 2010. Picking an ordinary island to spend four or five days on a The cost per person is only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which is a bit too high, so Li Mu himself has never been there.
It doesn't matter if you haven't been there in your previous life. In this life, you can invite 500 people from the company to go with you. Mr. Li is so domineering!
Senior Brother Liu said on the phone: "The Maldives is a great place. Jingjing has told me about it several times, but I have never had the chance to take her there. Mr. Li, can you bring your family this time?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Okay, for P6 and M6 level or above, you can bring a family member, and the company will reimburse all expenses!"
Senior Brother Liu laughed and said, "Okay! It's settled as you said. We will have a celebration party in the evening. As the CEO, you can announce it to everyone in person!"
"OK!"
