Reading as a god

Chapter 190 What Kind of Company is a Good Company?
Seeing Luo Changhui's eyes, Zhang Shan immediately understood, and immediately expressed his approval.

But the specific matters should be handed over to Luo Changhui to be responsible~
Zhang Shan has always been unwilling to ask too much about the handling of these specific matters.

Luo Changhui also understands Zhang Shan, Mr. Zhang is more like an idealist than a practitioner~
But having said that, Zhang Shan is too irresponsible!

Pulled down after giving money?What kind of wholly-owned subsidiary should be established?
Or is Zhang Shan just doing this to show off his financial resources in front of his younger sisters? The so-called establishment of a subsidiary is all a joke~
When Luo Changhui was trying to figure out Zhang Shan's meaning, she heard Zhang Shan say: "For that subsidiary, let's build a blockchain~"

Luo Changhui was shocked!

She is very familiar with the concept of blockchain~
Blockchain (English: block chain) is a series of text records (also known as blocks) that are connected and protected by cryptography.

Blockchain is a term in the field of information technology.

In essence, it is a shared database. The data or information stored in it has the characteristics of "unforgeable", "retaining traces throughout the process", "traceable", "open and transparent", and "collective maintenance".

Based on these characteristics, blockchain technology has laid a solid "trust" foundation, created a reliable "cooperation" mechanism, and has broad application prospects.

Each block contains the encrypted hash of the previous block, the corresponding time stamp and transaction data (usually represented by the hash value calculated by the Merkle tree algorithm), which makes the content of the block difficult to Tampering features.

The distributed ledger connected by blockchain technology allows two parties to effectively record the transaction and permanently verify the transaction.

At present, the biggest application of blockchain technology is digital currency, such as the invention of bitcoin.Because the essence of the payment is "adding the reduced amount in account A to account B".If people have a public ledger that records all the transactions of all accounts so far, then for any account, people can calculate the amount of money it currently has.The blockchain is precisely the public ledger used to achieve this purpose, which keeps all transaction records.In the bitcoin system, a bitcoin address is equivalent to an account, and the number of bitcoins is equivalent to an amount.

Although the blockchain was not a hot word in 2015, relevant industry insiders have long been highly concerned about it!

Regarding investing in the blockchain, she has long wanted to advise Zhang Shan, but she has been thinking about when is the right time to speak~
Good guy, Mr. Zhang has already planned a strategy.

Luo Changhui couldn't help but sigh with emotion. After all, it's better to follow the young boss, who accepts new technological concepts much faster than the general giants in the Internet industry.

It’s just how did Zhang Shan think about the blockchain? Could it be that this is the legendary knowledge~
Thinking of this, Luo Changhui couldn't help but blush~
But in the final analysis, Zhang Shan is still doing decentralization!

From the perspective of Internet development, decentralization is the form of social relationship and content generation formed in the process of Internet development, and it is a new type of network content production process relative to "centralization".

The advantage is that there are multiple compound feedback loops in an encrypted network involving various parties, including core protocol developers, developers of complementary encrypted networks, third-party application developers, and service providers who operate the network.

These feedback loops are further amplified through the incentives of related tokens, as we have seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum, which can increase the speed of development of the crypto community (although sometimes lead to negative results, such as mining Bitcoin will consume a lot of power resources ).

Although Zhang Shan and Luo Changhui still spoke English, Lucy could understand every word, but she didn't know what the meaning of the load together was!

"Zhang, can I ask you what blockchain is?"

Shan Zhang patiently explained: “Blockchain is a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a business network. Assets can be tangible (e.g. houses, cars, cash, land), It can also be intangible (e.g. intellectual property, patents, copyrights, brands). Almost anything of value can be tracked and traded on a blockchain network, reducing risk and cost on all fronts.”

Lucy felt like she was talking too much about this question~
How did it become a ledger? What the hell is this~
Hearing what Zhang Shan said, Luo Changhui couldn't help giving Zhang Shan a thumbs up silently in her heart.

I just heard that Lucy still looks puzzled~
"Do you think this blockchain is very important!"

Luo Changhui explained: "Of course it's very important!
Business operations are inseparable from information. The faster the information is received and the more accurate the content, the more beneficial it is for business operations.

Blockchain is ideal for delivering this information as it provides instant, shared and fully transparent information stored on an immutable ledger that can only be accessed by permissioned members of the network.

Blockchain networks can track orders, payments, accounts, production and more.And because members share a single view of truth, you can see all the details of a deal end-to-end, giving you greater confidence, as well as new efficiencies and business opportunities. "

With the mentality of showing off, Luo Changhui also earnestly popularized science for Lucy:

"Blockchain has three key elements, namely distributed ledger technology, immutable records and smart contracts~"

“Distributed ledger technology. All network participants have access to the distributed ledger and its immutable record of transactions. Using this shared ledger, transactions are recorded only once, eliminating the duplication of effort typical in traditional business networks.

“An immutable record. After a transaction has been recorded to the shared ledger, no participant can alter or tamper with it. If the transaction record contains an error, a new transaction must be added to undo the error, and then both transactions are visible of."

"Smart contract. means blabla"

Seeing Luo Changhui talking more and more showing off, Lucy knew that she was showing off that she was Zhang Shan's only good wife~
Lucy only found it funny that Luo Changhui presented herself as a strong woman.

Unexpectedly,,, unexpectedly it is just a canary of Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan felt that she was in the wrong, and let Luo Changhui show off!

How can it be so easy to say clearly about the blockchain~
What is blockchain?
From a technical point of view, blockchain involves many scientific and technical issues such as mathematics, cryptography, the Internet and computer programming.

From the perspective of application, in simple terms, blockchain is a distributed shared ledger and database, which has the characteristics of decentralization, non-tampering, traceability throughout the process, traceability, collective maintenance, and openness and transparency.

These characteristics ensure the "honesty" and "transparency" of the blockchain, and lay the foundation for the creation of trust in the blockchain.The rich application scenarios of the blockchain are basically based on the fact that the blockchain can solve the problem of information asymmetry and realize collaborative trust and concerted action among multiple subjects.

Blockchain is a new application model of computer technologies such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, and encryption algorithm.Blockchain (Blockchain) is an important concept of Bitcoin. It is essentially a decentralized database. At the same time, as the underlying technology of Bitcoin, it is a series of data blocks associated with cryptographic methods. Each The data block contains a batch of bitcoin network transaction information, which is used to verify the validity of the information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block.

And the blockchain also involves a lot of classification!
A chain can be called a public blockchain, which refers to a blockchain that everyone can participate in.In other words, it is fair and open, and everyone can freely access, send, receive, and authenticate transactions.In addition, the public chain is also considered to be a "completely decentralized" blockchain.Representatives of public chains include BTC blockchain, ETH, EOS, etc., and there are different structures among them.

For example, Ethereum (ETH) is a public chain, and every application operating on the Ethereum chain consumes the overall resources of this chain; EOS is just a blockchain infrastructure, and developers can freely When a public chain is created on EOS, each chain will not affect the resources owned by each other. In other words, there will be no network congestion caused by excessive consumption of individual application resources.

Commercial organizations are developing distributed ledgers and other blockchain-inspired software for a variety of applications.Because these software are controlled by a centralized organization and do not have the attributes of blockchain decentralization, they are called private blockchains, regional chains, or alliance chains.Because its application scope is similar to cloud computing that uses distributed databases to process information, so far, no private chain has been recognized and used.

Speaking of why he wants to engage in blockchain, Zhang Shan was inspired by Zhang Sen before.

Anyway, I don't know what to do, it's basically right to follow the senior~
Zhang Shan didn't think about making a profit, the main purpose was to occupy a hole in advance.

After all, at present, the technical iterations related to the blockchain are still very fast!

In 2014, "Blockchain 2.0" has emerged~
For this second-generation programmable blockchain, economists believe it is a programming language that allows users to write more sophisticated and intelligent agreements.Therefore, when the profit reaches a certain level, it can obtain income from the dividends of completed freight orders or shared certificates.Blockchain 2.0 technology skips transactions and "intermediaries that act as arbitrators of money and information in the exchange of value."They are used to keep people out of the globalized economy, enable privacy, enable people to "money the information they have," and have the ability to secure returns for owners of intellectual property.

Zhang Shan sensed the shadow of swords and swords between the two, so he began to draw sideways.

Urging Luo Changhui to do other things~
Luo Changhui is so angry.

Sure enough, men are big pigs, and when they have a new love, they forget the old love.

Tsk tsk, the two of them are still in the fitness area, Mr. Zhang is really hardcore fitness!

~~~
Zhang Shan didn't stay in the gym, but went back to the office obediently.

After that, I honestly started reading mode.

The book I read this time is "What kind of company is called a good company~"

This book is written by the great 19th century American philosopher and observer, Alexis de Tocqueville.

He reflected: "I can't help thinking that the institutions we call essential are often nothing more than institutions to which we have taken for granted. So far as social regimes are concerned, the range of possible What people in society can imagine is much broader."

Tocqueville has always been thinking about the problems of contemporary business organizations.

And pointed out that we have become accustomed to the structure, management, and operation of contemporary enterprises, but there are more possibilities.

The book "What Makes a Good Company?" aims to enable companies to seize various possibilities that were out of reach at that time.

In his day, this was not an isolated or idealistic cry.

Like their philosophical predecessors, contemporary philosophers such as Alexis de Tocqueville—such as Warren Bennis, Charles Handy, and Peter Drew Peter Drucker—both have noted the variability of organizational life, and both have each drawn far-reaching conclusions.One thread that ties his ideas together is that it is in our hands to create organizations that are economically prosperous, passionate at work, prosperous in their careers, and stable in their lives. ?
In this book, the author explores what this kind of business organization would look like, and what criteria should be used to determine it?

The first section of this book is designed for the responsibilities and roles of individuals in the "democratic company", the core of which is the concept of individual autonomy: that is, the self-awareness of company members; , Unremittingly develop the ability of their respective human capital.For the employees themselves and the company, the employees' respective autonomy and ability to maximize self-improvement have great practical significance.

The second section considers the obligations of the company, which is designed for the diversity of organizational structure: the ability of the company to provide space for those who want to be the best, responsive and responsible, and The company's ability to create an innovative and adaptable work environment.I identified 2 aspects of creating space and exercising choice.In each of these areas, I have identified a company that is at the forefront of pioneering space and options.

The third section combines the role of the individual with the role of the organization to create a "container" that can restrict the life of the individual.In ancient Greece, that container was the city-state and the challenges it faced.In a national democracy, this vessel is the state, whose boundaries are clearly marked and understood.However, as far as the company is concerned, the concept of this container is a more complicated issue.

In a "democratic company", where individuals have autonomy and self-determination, the key role of the organization is to provide space and opportunities for choice...
