Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 98 The boss is troubled by his excellent subordinates

Late that night, the lights in Lei Jun's office were still on.

In recent times, after finishing his work, Lei Jun has been paying attention to various news reports about the mobile phone industry on the Internet.

There are two hot topics in the mobile phone circle at present. One is the news that iPhone 4 came out of nowhere, which attracted the attention of the whole world.

From the changes in last year's iPhone 3, iPhone 3G to the current iPhone 4, he can see Jobs' ambition more clearly.

He even asked a friend to get a few iPhone 4s from abroad to experience them first and learn from their strengths.

It is conceivable that iPhone 4 will be released in China in the next few months. As a groundbreaking product, the more pleasantly surprised the users will be when they buy the phone, the greater the pressure Xiaomi will face.

We need to speed up the hardware development. If all else fails, we can try contacting Zhou Guangping. After all, there is no better candidate now.

The other is the news of the mobile phone war that caused a lot of controversy a while ago.

In the media's view, Xiaomi fought a great battle to defend public opinion during this period, which has become a classic case for reference in similar situations in the future.

In addition to the MIUI and MIOS dual systems being called the "peerless duo" by the media this time, some media have also reviewed its past achievements.

How he turned the tide and led Kingsoft to go public, sold Joyo to Amazon for 7500 million U.S. dollars, invested in so many companies, etc.

It's all the same old tune with nothing new. Oh, and then there's the cold 40 billion and the top scorer in the college entrance examination. It feels like these two things can't be avoided.

His scores were indeed good enough to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University, but he was not the top scorer, and he did not have as much as 40 billion yuan. The market value of his investments would probably be around this level if you add them up. I don't know how the rumor got more and more outrageous as it was passed around.

He is too lazy to clarify the rumor, so let the innocent be innocent.

Of course, this matter has its pros and cons. The good thing is that Xiaomi has built up momentum and gained exposure, without spending a penny, it has achieved the publicity effect that can only be achieved with hundreds of millions of advertisements. From this point of view, Xiaomi has made a lot of money.

Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. Xiaomi's original development route was to sneak into the village and shoot without getting shot, but now it seems that this is completely unfeasible.

At present, Xiaomi has become the target of public criticism. At that time, it can only deal with it as it comes. There is no point in thinking about it in advance, and worrying about things that may happen will only waste energy.

I didn't expect that I would become Chen Mo's protector and shield this time, but as his boss, this is also my due responsibility.

In fact, Lei Jun knew clearly that from the beginning to the end, Chen Mo had always been the main force, and he was just an assist, playing a role of icing on the cake.

When things were progressing to the middle stage, Chen Mo was charging in the front and fighting well.

Moreover, at this moment, the holy monk on the Internet suddenly stepped in and spoke up for justice, which made him feel that the other party's behavior was within his expectations and beyond reason.

He thought that Chen Mo and the Sweeping Monk knew each other, but he was surprised that their friendship was so deep that he even endorsed MIOS. This was a huge favor.

Perhaps there is also the factor of mutual admiration. After all, the advantages of MIUI and MIOS systems are too obvious compared to other uneven Android customized systems on the market.

It's normal that the more talented people are, the more they can't stand such things.

He has always advocated following the trend. What is following the trend? This is it!

Afterwards, as the boss, he could not favor one over the other, so he issued a solemn statement in the name of the company to give Chen Mo a legitimate reason to attack. He then found some media resources to amplify the voices supporting MIOS online. It was a tacit cooperation, and that was all.

A few days ago, Chen Mo took the initiative to come over and proposed a plan to make him look at this guy with new eyes. Without any hesitation, he nodded and agreed and cooperated in a play. First, he raised the reward amount and cooperated with the monk, mainly for deterrence.

In fact, those who were arrested for spreading rumors were all arranged by him in advance. He wanted to exaggerate the criminal situation in the media to deter the scoundrels, that was all.

Otherwise, it would be too efficient to convict and arrest the people who spread rumors and cause trouble in just a few days.

It was later proved that the effect was very positive and it made some "friendly competitors" cautious and suspicious of each other. They suffered the consequences of public opinion but dared not speak out. This was truly gratifying.

Lei Jun feels that he has encountered one pitfall after another since he started Xiaomi. This victory allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

After this incident, he made up his mind to include Chen Mo in his core team, no matter what the final outcome of MIOS was.

This person's value is not just his personal ability and department management ability, which only proves that he is an excellent manager.

Lei Jun thought about Chen Mo's performance since joining Xiaomi, his calm and composed attitude, forward-looking strategic vision, outstanding work ability, strong personal charm and team cohesion, smooth interpersonal skills, and his big heart to turn things around against the odds.

A hexagonal executive who was born for the workplace.

In addition, Chen Mo's strength is far more than that. He found that many websites reported and forum opinions supported Xiaomi some time ago. It can be seen that Chen Mo has some relationship with these media behind him that he is not clear about. And there is also that monk standing behind him.
The only drawback was that he couldn't stand Chen Mo's work attitude. Although it wasn't often, he would ask for leave every now and then, disappear from his workstation at any time, and act mysteriously without knowing where he was going.

Another thing is that he is too nice to his employees, a bit like a pushover, but being a pushover is unacceptable in the workplace.

Take what happened this afternoon when we were about to get off work. Chen Mo came over and said he had found a talent, but the situation was a bit complicated and required special approval.

He asked about the general situation and actually thought it was better to have less trouble than more. In the past he would not agree to it, but seeing that Chen Mo's attitude was very firm and the other party was his former boss, he approved it.

These two styles of behavior are incompatible with these "post-70s" people. Is this the so-called generation gap?

There are only a few flaws in a perfect jade. Compared with his contributions to Xiaomi, these shortcomings are insignificant and completely acceptable.

As long as Chen Mo's performance is outstanding enough, he doesn't mind delegating more power.

Lei Jun feels that this guy is a treasure who always brings him new surprises. Who knows if what Chen Mo showed this time is the side he wants him to see?

But one thing is certain, I just showed goodwill to Chen Mo before, but next, if I want to hold on to this talent, it seems that just showing goodwill is not enough, I have to start winning him over.

At least with Chen Mo in charge of Xiaomi software, he can free up his energy so that he can lead others to specialize in the hardware field.

Lei Jun opened a can of Coke and took a big gulp.

Thinking that this guy is only 26 years old, I sighed inwardly.

Lei Jun was very envious and couldn't help feeling a sense of frustration as the younger generation was outpacing the older generation. He always felt like he was getting old.

Where on earth did this monster come from?

I'm not hiring a department manager at all, it's like hiring Monkey King without the golden hoop.

Alas~ subordinates who are too capable are also a sweet burden, and they are hard to control.

Lei Jun is in pain and happy
