Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 344 New System Promotion

Qiao Weiwei did not disappoint Lu Shan. She was extremely organized and went directly to the heads of various departments to assign tasks.

These grassroots supervisors are basically involved in front-line business, so they are users themselves.

In addition, as a manager, it is also more convenient to ask questions to subordinates.

This is not enough. Qiao Weiwei also sent internal emails to collect everyone's needs. It is better to listen to both sides.

No one knew what was going on, so they just submitted their needs honestly.

To sum up, it's basically the same for ordinary office workers, that is, reports, spreadsheets, slides, and some financial applications.

The group has a manufacturing industry, so it needs more professional simulation software and teaching applications to facilitate training apprentices and imparting technology.

The demand for the latter is more urgent. If copywriting work is really not possible, just use Microsoft's.

When it comes to technical teaching, the Win system cannot handle it because it is too professional.

The logic of those simulated models is so complex that the Windows system can no longer keep up and has been upgraded long ago.

Therefore, if Lu Shan does not develop a new operating system, his own scientific research will be delayed.

According to everyone's needs, Lu Shan gave priority to office application development, which has templates and is available in the Windows system.

The difference is that what Zemeng has developed is more in line with everyone's needs and is more intelligent.

Office software is not made only by Microsoft. In order to keep a certain company alive, Lei Jun also tried it.

The application of technology will come later. Lu Shan needs to consider the overall situation. It would be bad if something is leaked accidentally.

Not long after, Ze Meng had produced the office software, which, combined with the Ze Meng system, was like adding wings to a tiger.

In order to promote it smoothly, Lu Shan also held a special meeting to promote it and issued a document requiring everyone's cooperation.

If it weren't for improving everyone's efficiency, Lu Shan generally wouldn't want to manage it this way. After all, you will know who is good and who is bad after using it.

But Lu Shan knew very well that humans are lazy and some things will not move unless they are kicked.

After using it, senior and middle managers praised it highly. The essence of their job is to aggregate and process the data below and then process it.

Each person under him submits a form and data. If he has thirty subordinates, he has to look at thirty copies.

Normally, we rely on everyone's skilled and superb office skills to support us. As time goes by, the workload increases.

In addition, the group will not set up too many hierarchical structures, so everyone's work intensity will gradually increase.

Later, with the help of Coco Assistant, the pressure was reduced a lot, so I had more time to focus on development itself.

Now that the Zemeng system has been launched, the time spent on copywriting has been further reduced, making it more efficient and concise.

This is equivalent to carrying out an office reform.

Singularity Group is a company with very concise document handling, but it still has to retain some paper documents to leave traces for inspection.

If it were other institutions or companies outside, we don’t know how many paper documents would be piled up, which would be a waste of resources.

Now with the Zemeng system, all traces will be automatically recorded, and with the clear division of responsibilities when assigning tasks, everyone will be more focused on their work.

The management has this awareness, but the people below may not.

Lu Shan was right. Humans really do have this kind of laziness. Once they get used to the previous way of working, they don’t think much about changing it.

The reason is simple. With the coco assistant and the office software of the win system, everything can be done directly. With my own small piece of land, I don't need high-performance operating software like Zemeng at all.

As a result, some front-line employees generally had a resistance sentiment. If these people were recruited by Lu Shan himself, they would definitely not have such a reaction.

"What operating system do you want to change to? Win is enough."

"After using Windows for so many years, will the new system be difficult to use?"

"The people above are always thinking about messing with the people below, regardless of the specific situation below. They only think about making things easier for the people above. Really!"

"I've seen other departments use them, and they all have unfamiliar interfaces. Anyway, I'm going to bring another computer over to use myself."

"good idea."

In this way, one person has two computers, one computer is the company's computer, which still uses Zemeng's system, and his own computer still uses the Windows system.

Doing this did not delay things, but it did look outrageous.

Soon, this strange spectacle was noticed by grassroots management, who spontaneously investigated and talked to employees about their behavior.

"Why not use the Zemeng system? Let's just chat and tell the truth. If you have any concerns, I will report them directly to my superiors and resolve them." The management's work style and methods all follow Lu Shan's, which shows the importance of the boss in shaping the entire corporate culture.

If Lu Shan is a bureaucrat with a big air, I'm afraid the junior supervisor will use tough measures to force everyone now, then what else is there to talk about?
Let me also talk about the current situation of Singularity Group. The core members were all recruited by Lu Shan himself. The Natural Science Research Laboratory belongs to the reserve team, and once you join, you will be the core.

The more core part was not recruited by Lu Shan himself, such as Zhang Kaifeng and Liu Wenjie who recruited technical staff to lead the team.

Next down are those recruited by the Human Resources Department itself. Although they are still employees of Singularity, their identities are obviously different, and insiders are still accustomed to classifying them as formal employees.

The personnel recruited in this part are responsible for daily basic operations, such as administration and low-level technical workers on the production lines.

Further down the list are the pure front-line workers who rely on time and energy and do not have much technical content. There are a lot of them, and Lu Shan does not intend to give up on them and will also provide training.

Anyway, you will earn your living by your ability, and you can climb up if you have superb skills. Anyway, it doesn't matter how you are recruited, as long as you have the ability, you can get in.

It's just that the ability, quality and knowledge of people recruited by human resources cannot be compared with those recruited by executives such as Lu Shan and Zhang Kaifeng, so it is normal to have other voices.

Fortunately, the atmosphere in the group is relatively good, and these people expressed their true thoughts. They are just too lazy to change, and the low-level technicians on the front line think that they will have to learn more in the future, so they naturally resist.

Now that the reason is known, the matter can be determined. The grassroots supervisors patiently educate them and directly criticize those who do not accept it. "Do you know how easy it is to use the Zemeng system? After using it, you will never choose the Win system again.

The inconvenience is only for a short time. Think about it, with Coco Assistant, how complicated can it be? Don’t you think so? "

The front-line employees nodded subconsciously. They had all experienced Coco's intelligence firsthand and there was nothing to complain about.

“Now let’s talk about the bigger picture. Even if Ze Meng’s stuff doesn’t work, you still have to use it. Besides, this situation doesn’t exist.

If a company's system is still a foreign system, then can the company still have any secrets? Microsoft can directly affect Singularity Group through background loopholes. This is the reason for security.

Not all of you are from computer science majors, but you have all heard of system security. The group developed the Zemeng system for the sake of its own development and safety.

So, try the Zemeng system and compare it yourself! ”

The supervisor's words began to become serious: "If you really find that Zemeng's office software is not as good as Microsoft's, please report the specific problems to us for improvement. But you are absolutely not allowed to make random comments without using it. The instructor said that without investigation, you have no right to speak. I hope you can judge objectively and fairly!"

Those employees who brought their own computers to work really compared them after returning home. Of course, there is no doubt that Zemeng's office software is better than Microsoft's. With excellent basic logic, excellent algorithms, and super intelligent assistants, it would be strange if Zemeng's office software lost!
Before, this group of people were simply too lazy to use their brains and too lazy to accept new things.

If a technology existed before you were born, it is most likely outdated.

If it happens to be the time when you grow up, this technology is beneficial. If it is a new technology that appears after you start working, it is nonsense, and if it appears after middle age, it is outrageous.

The person is still the same person, but the mentality has changed.
With this approach, the Zemeng system was quickly implemented.

At the same time, Zemeng is also actively converting codes for some common applications on the market, which is faster than developing applications by oneself.

Anyway, those applications were installed on pirated Windows systems, so there would be no problem installing them on Zemeng, since they were not authorized anyway...

2012 was an unusual year. Microsoft will definitely remember this year. This year, they successfully defeated Lu Shan once again! After countless late nights, Microsoft's technical team made it impossible for the Windows system to adapt to Coco Assistant!
If Microsoft knew that Lu Shan had simply changed his game, I wonder how he would feel.

Microsoft was short-sighted and naturally had no idea what Lu Shan was doing. After they had dealt with the technical issues, the top management immediately held a meeting to discuss how to maximize the benefits of this matter!

“I suggest that users should update the system in the form of a patch so that Coco Assistant cannot be used normally!”

"What if the user refuses the update?"

"We have no say over it. Open the backend and force the update! Don't spoil them. Be careful. They will just treat it as a normal update. This kind of update is irreversible and cannot be deleted."

"Oppose! If we do this, it may cause our users to switch to pirated Windows systems! They may really do this in order to use Coco Assistant!"

This is true, they themselves know how useful Coco is, and they are even using it themselves, which greatly improves efficiency. Now Microsoft wants to use Coco itself but does not want Windows users to use Coco. It's really a love-hate relationship.

After a while, a smart executive suggested: "How about just converting all users to genuine ones?"

"What do you mean?"

"We will just release this update and no longer require users to verify the authenticity of the product. As long as you update, you will get genuine treatment and services!"

"Bullshit! Aren't we going to starve? Do you know how much money we are going to lose? What will the customers who paid for the genuine system think?"

As soon as the proposal came out, everyone was excited. How dare such a ruinous proposal be made? It would not be too much to beat the proposer to death.

"Everyone, listen to me first..."

Seeing that he had aroused public anger, the executive didn't waste any words and quickly explained, fearing that a cup would be thrown at him.

Don’t assume that all senior executives in large international companies are civilized people. Some of them have very strong backgrounds and are therefore wild in nature.

"Upgrading from pirated to genuine is definitely not a bad thing for Microsoft at the moment. Here's why!"

Once he spoke, everyone fell silent.

According to the executive, there are two meanings.

First of all, there is the problem of the Xiaguo market. As we all know, more than 90% of the Xiaguo Windows systems are pirated. So the Xiaguo market is almost equivalent to not being able to get it right. Since it is not being able to get it right, it is better to just give away the genuine products and win a wave of goodwill.

Updates and free genuine products naturally include a series of genuine services. Office software and security services are indispensable, and daily push notifications must be included.

What should we do if the legitimate users of Xiaguo are dissatisfied? The answer is simple: extend the usage period for these users by one year.

"Thus……"

"This will only make our losses even greater! Are you fucking crazy?"

"Don't worry! I haven't finished yet! This way, we can harvest the pirated customer market. Let's turn them into our customers first, and then find a way to charge them later, right?
We offer a one-year trial period to pirated customers and a one-year extension to legitimate customers, which is definitely enough. A lot can happen in a year. Times have actually changed. We can no longer rely on selling systems to make money. We have to integrate resources from many aspects and do more value-added business, such as investment management, consulting, and technical services. "

It has to be said that this executive has a really good vision and what he said makes a lot of sense. The senior management frowned and thought quietly.

"So you said you had another intention, what was that?" After a long time, someone from the senior management raised a question, motioning for him to continue.

“There is no special reason, I just want to remind everyone that Coco Assistant has always been rooted in the Windows system, which is a threat to our security and development.

Now everyone is used to the existence of Coco in the Windows system, and the two are bound together. We need to quickly upgrade the customer's system so that Coco Assistant cannot run in the Windows system and sever the connection between the two!

If one day, Coco Assistant deliberately does something bad, users will definitely say that the Windows system is useless instead of saying that Coco Assistant is messing things up. There will be no winners in this mess. That’s why I propose to give away genuine products and get rid of Coco Assistant as soon as possible.”

Having said so much in one breath, the senior management needs a little time to digest it and evaluate the feasibility of the matter in the shortest possible time.

"I think what he said makes sense, what about you?"

The big boss at the top finally spoke. He had been watching the group of people arguing in silence until now.

"I have no opinion."

"No comment."

"Then do it. The specific measures will be put into a report and we'll see what happens next."
