Obviously, Qiu Hong was very resentful about his failure experience. He was able to maintain a calm attitude at the beginning, but soon his tone gradually changed from stating facts to complaining.
Pei Qian could hear Qiu Hong's angry feeling.
As a game producer with successful projects, Qiu Hong’s game design ability is definitely no problem.
Of course, his game design ability specifically refers to the design ability of domestic krypton gold games, and he basically has no other types of game design abilities.
But the problem is that Qiu Hong has never thought about making other types of games. His goal has always been very clear, which is to make money online games seriously and make money.
Obviously, the failure of his business had nothing to do with his design ability. It can only be said that he failed to be a good boss.
The "project management" issue that Qiu Hong repeatedly emphasized was the most critical issue in his entrepreneurial failure. At this point, he had a lot to say.
Qiu Hong also shared with "Ma Yang" a series of measures he has taken to strengthen project management.
For example, it forces employees to clock in and out, supervises employees by arriving early and leaving late every day, and decides to give 10% of game profits to employees as bonuses, etc.
These measures have indeed improved the company's situation and improved efficiency, but they still cannot save the company from failure.
Pei Qian felt a little pained when he heard this.
Sounds like this is indeed a losing factor.
However, it seems useless to me...
My employees are already a group of screaming and struggling people. I deliberately decoupled the project bonus from the project profit and separated it from the project profit. The purpose of linking to word-of-mouth is to stop them from thinking about making money.
If bonuses were given to employees based on game profits, wouldn’t it be an explosion on the spot?
The key is that Qiu Hong said that the reason for the failure was that employees were lazy.
The problem that Pei Qian is struggling with is that he has tried every means to encourage his employees to be lazy, but the employees just don't do it!
How to deal with this?
Although I know the correct answer, there are no feasible ideas and steps for solving the problem!
The more Qiu Hong talked, the more emotional he became, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became. Pei Qian was too embarrassed to interrupt him.
Finally, Qiu Hong was probably tired of talking and stopped to take a sip of coffee.
Pei Qian said tentatively: "Then may I venture to ask, do you know what kind of regulations may cause employees to be lazy and project progress to get out of control?"
Qiu Hong was stunned: "Ah? Isn't laziness innate? If you don't do anything, they will naturally be lazy."
Pei Qian: "..."
< p>No, this is not consistent with my experience.There was a time when I really didn’t care, and I only had two or three hours a day in the office, but my game project was still produced as scheduled?
Pei Qian asked again: "Then, if I ask all employees not to clock in at all, manage enough snacks and drinks, strictly prohibit overtime work, project bonuses have nothing to do with project profits, and never ask about the development progress of the project... However, the game will still be Is it possible that the production was completed on schedule and made a profit?"
The expression on Qiu Hong's face was very exciting, it was an expression called "Are you kidding me?"
“Absolutely impossible!”
“Mr. Ma, if you want to daydream, it is recommended that you daydream about winning the lottery. The possibility of realizing it is relatively high. Bigger."
Pei Qian clapped his hands and felt like he had met a soulmate: "Yes, I think so too!"
"But as far as I know, our company's game department seems to... do this." Qiu Hong did not answer immediately, but shook his head slightly and took a sip of coffee.
Then, he said with some bitterness in his voice: "Mr. Ma, that's just the appearance you see."
"That shows that the project of the leader of Tenda Game Department The management ability has reached an advanced level, beyond the level that you can understand, and has achieved a return to nature."
"This top-notch project management ability is not something that everyone can learn. "
"Just like in some martial arts, the protagonist says that there are no moves to win, but if you forget all the moves, you will be beaten to a black face soon."
"Ma. Sir, listen to my advice and forget about the Tenda Game Department. You can’t learn this kind of ability.”
“Of course, I’m not targeting you, and I can’t learn it either, in this world. Most people can’t learn from it.”
“There is only one business wizard like Mr. Pei. The experience of such a person cannot be used as a reference.”
< p>Pei Qian: "..."Forgot about Tenda Game Department?
No, I just want to solve the problem of the game department. How can you persuade me to give up? !
What else are you talking about about returning to one’s original nature and reaching a state of transformation?
Pei Qian was speechless. What about sharing his failure experience as promised?
Why did he become a whipping corpse again!
Qiu Hong looked at his watch: "Ah, the time has come."
"Mr. Ma, I'm very happy to chat with you. I haven't talked so freely with someone for a long time, and I feel so depressed. It’s all gone!”
Pei Qian: “…”
Is the pain in your chest all gone?
But the pain in my chest seems to have not improved at all, but has worsened...
Pei Qian asked: "So, next time you come here, you will talk about something new Elements of failure, right?"
Qiu Hong nodded: "Of course, I vaguely feel that Mr. Ma can become a confidant with me. We both have a certain quality."
"What is the characteristic?..."
"It seems that they all have empty ambitions but no way to implement them; they have empty goals but no one to cooperate with them. "
"Don't worry, Mr. Ma, we will definitely overcome the difficulties! ”
“In short, I will definitely tell you everything I know! Let's make progress together! ”
You have a goal but no one is cooperating with you?
You are absolutely right!
Pei Qian thought about it silently, although he and Qiu Hong has different goals, but they are all trying to break away from the quagmire of failure and move towards a better tomorrow!
From this point of view, it seems that they can really become confidants?
Pei Qian couldn't help but be moved, and held Qiu Hong's outstretched hand tightly: "Okay, let's work hard together! ”
……
……
May 3, Tuesday.
Outu Technology.
Just after the holiday, the employees of Outu Technology quickly got into work mode on their first day of work and started working in full swing.
Chang You walked through the office area and entered his office, looking casually. However, he had a panoramic view of the employees’ status.
“Is it possible that the influence of Tengda spirit is really so obvious? ”
Chang You was a little confused.
He could feel that there was a subtle change in Outu Technology.
Outu Technology was officially established in November last year. Half a year has passed since then.
The key employees, including Chang You, all came from Hongcheng Technology. Mr. Pei has never interfered in the daily affairs of the company. Director Lin came here by air. He has never given any advice on company management.
So, the way Outu Technology worked at the beginning was exactly the same as that of Hongcheng Technology.
But now, people. These are the same people, but their working methods seem to be constantly changing to Tengda's working methods.
One of the most obvious manifestations is that everyone's working hours have been shortened, but the workload has not changed.
p>
This means that the overall work efficiency has improved!
Chang You still remembers that when he was at Hongcheng Technology, he could always see the employees when he walked by them. Someone was fishing.
Of course, he would not point it out. After all, at that time, he felt that it was impossible for people to maintain an efficient working condition, and it was human nature to fish occasionally.
Now, however, employees seem to be completing their work efficiently and rarely take advantage of it!
You can tell the difference between these two states at a glance
Just take it. Today, if we were at Hongcheng Technology, everyone would sort out their work plans for the week, answer the emails accumulated over the weekend, and then play with their phones for a while, and the whole morning would be over.
But. Now, it only takes more than half an hour for everyone to complete the work of sorting out work plans and replying to emails. The rest of the time is spent working, and each one is more anxious than the other.
The most important thing is that Mr. Pei rarely comes here, and he never asks everyone to study Tengda spirit?
So how does this subtle influence penetrate and achieve the effect of "moistening things silently"?
The more Chang You thought about it, the more he felt that Mr. Pei had a good way with project management!
In the past, Changyou always had to check attendance, set goals, and press questions from time to time.
Now there is no need for it at all. The whole company is just like an arm and a finger, and everyone cooperates very well.
With such a superb project management method, Chang You feels that he is so comfortable. He no longer has to waste energy arguing with employees, but can concentrate on thinking about the company's next business development direction. .
“When you have time, be sure to ask Mr. Pei, a master of management, how he achieves this kind of 'moisturizing things silently' effect, and whether he has his own philosophy on project management. ?”
After completing his daily brainstorming with Mr. Pei, Chang You continued his work this week.
Today, he was going to solve a puzzle left by Mr. Pei.
When Mr. Pei assigned tasks to OTTO Technology before, he proposed a future plan: stop making new mobile phones, extend the time to about 10 months, set up a software laboratory, and make some practical applications. It’s a good APP, improve the mobile phone system, and optimize the imaging algorithm.
Chang You has already explained this point.
After careful reflection, he felt that Mr. Pei’s strategy was very correct!
The OTTOE1 mobile phone is a high-end mobile phone with a high price, but it is also a mobile phone full of flaws.
If a new phone is developed immediately, what will those customers who have already bought the E1 phone think?
I treat this mobile phone as a treasure, but you treat me like a leek?
OTTO’s pricing strategy is to never lower prices, but if new phones are released too frequently, where will the customers of old mobile phones be placed?
Although a trade-in service will be provided, this frequent release of new phones will inevitably dilute the brand value that the mobile phone has finally built.
So, Mr. Pei spent a year polishing the software, including operating systems, imaging algorithms, various commonly used apps, etc. This has at least three meanings.
Complete its commitment to consumers;
Lengthen the release cycle of new mobile phones to one year to ensure that more and more advanced mature technologies can be used by then, allowing the next A mobile phone has more gimmicks, and at the same time, it can better preserve the value of the E1 mobile phone;
Invest a lot of time in software research and development, increase the added value of the mobile phone, fill in the shortcomings, and make consumers feel that they are getting something for their money. value.
After understanding the meaning of Mr. Pei’s next-stage policy, Changyou immediately decided to spend huge sums of money to establish an imaging laboratory dedicated to tuning mobile phone lenses, optimizing imaging algorithms, and improving photography and software. hairforce!
But just two days after interpreting President Pei’s intention, President Pei’s new instructions arrived again.
This time, Chang You was confused.
Mr. Pei actually asked OTTO Technology to develop an APP for gym registration?
The functional requirements for this APP are very simple and were proposed by a person named Guo Licheng. After logging into the APP, customers can view their fitness data, book fitness time, etc., and that's it.
Chang You was puzzled. Should such a simple function be left to OTTO Technology?
Our software team is responsible for developing more complex APPs. It’s just a crappy APP for gym registration. If you can just find a team to make it, why does Mr. Pei have to hand it in by name? To us?
Moreover, this APP is not at all close to the general direction that Mr. Pei set before, right?
The strangest thing is that Mr. Pei specifically emphasized not to pre-install this software on your mobile phone.
Why?
Although Chang You arranged for someone to do it as soon as he received this request, after so many days, he still failed to understand the deep meaning of it.
If you are a person who has no pursuit, you will definitely complete the functions required by fitness software and be done with it.
But after the success of the OTTOE1 mobile phone, Chang You knew very well that no matter how simple the task assigned by Mr. Pei himself seemed, it definitely had a deeper meaning.
Otherwise, why did Mr. Pei explain it in person?
