Vol 6 Chapter 566: Disappointed

The entourage quickly coordinated the relevant itinerary. Before leaving, Sun Zhengyi came to a building not too far from the Jiasheng Business Center. This is where Yahoo China is located.

In the early years, this place was also a place where high-level code farmers in China and many sea turtles flocked. Being able to work here is simply the beginning of marrying Bai Fumei and reaching the pinnacle of life.

But now, compared with many companies around here, Yahoo’s purple LOGO has long been unattractive.

Fortunately, the few who came out to greet them seemed to be quite energetic.

"Welcome to your grandson," "Hello grandson,"

A few Chinese and a few Americans enthusiastically greeted Sun Zhengyi.

The current head of Yahoo China, Dr. Zhang, who had worked at Yahoo's US headquarters, graciously took Sun Zhengyi, downstairs and upstairs, and watched it over.

But when he finally arrived in the conference room, let alone Sun Zhengyi, even his face was so good that he couldn't see it.

So as soon as Sun Zhengyi sat down, he didn't talk nonsense, and frowned directly and asked, "Do you have any concerns about this acquisition?"

"Has our dual unchanged policy communicated to every colleague?" He did not ask Dr. Zhang, but looked at the Americans, who came from Yahoo headquarters, to do the next handover. Those who were preparing asked.

The reason why he asked this question at the beginning was because, along the way, the morale of the employees of Yahoo China that he saw was really terrible, if it weren’t for the bad reputation, Sun Justice should have been cursing all the way just now.

"Sun, especially with such terms, we naturally notified every employee the first time," those few said quickly.

If Sun Zhengyi feels that they can't even do such a thing well, then even though SoftBank has promised not to lay off staff within two years, they are afraid they will have to find a home from now on.

At this time, Sun Zhengyi felt that such things should not happen. When a merger occurs, grassroots employees are most concerned about. Generally, there are only two things, whether they will lay off employees and whether the company will cut their salaries.

Therefore, even if the Yahoo management team does not work properly and their promises remain unchanged, the grassroots employees will definitely know.

"Then Zhang, can you tell me what's going on?" He turned to Dr. Zhang.

"We know that Yahoo China is not developing well. Of course, this is not your responsibility."

At such a sensitive moment, he still speaks more politely.

"But I didn't expect the morale to be so bad,"

But for Dr. Zhang, this is still a questioning tone.

In any case, he is currently the person in charge, and he is naturally responsible for this situation.

"I have to review, this is because of my poor work," Dr. Zhang had to say.

But he added, “Since taking office in the third quarter of last year, we have also taken a number of measures in response to this situation. Although there have been some improvements, the results have always been somewhat unsatisfactory.”

The meaning of this is also very clear. I have not been responsible for a long time. If it were not for me, the situation would only get worse.

To be honest, if the company in charge of SoftBank is in such a situation, and the person in charge still has such an attitude, Sun Zhengyi will surely let him leave immediately.

But he does not have such a right now. What's more, according to the agreement with Yahoo, after they formally take over, they can't have such a plan within two years.

At this time, Sun Zhengyi already regretted the "double unchanged" clause he had proposed. If he could, from what he had just seen, he would have to fire at least half of the employees of Yahoo China.

What kind of development can be made for such a dull company?

As for the current ones, including those visitors from Yahoo headquarters, it is best to fire them all without leaving.

He believes that with their salary level, their position will still be very attractive.

But that can only be thought about. He patiently said, "Zhang, I said, this has nothing to do with you, and I don't mean accountability. I just want to know how this situation came into being?"

In order to make his meaning more clear, he took the initiative to say, "Is it related to the changes in 2005?"

The year 2005 was a very important year for China's Internet. The bigwigs who will dominate the Internet in the future have made important moves in this year.

And 2005 is also a very important year for Yahoo China.

That year, Chief Yang first planned to package Yahoo China and give it to Lao Ma. As a result, the Lao Ma who had been close to Feng Yiping smiled and refused to accept it.

Later, he led Yahoo China to achieve great development, and also had many disputes with the Yahoo headquarters in the United States. Later, Zhou Dapao, who had a great negative impact on Yahoo China’s business, took a group of confidants and jumped to the preparations. Qihoo.

Sun Zhengyi felt that the current appearance of Yahoo China may be from when.

"Those things that happened in 2005 may have some influence on our development," Dr. Zhang said.

Sun Zhengyi was taken aback, what are you talking about?

Dr. Zhang lowered his head, what do you want me to say?

Didn't you see that several of the headquarters are here? I heard that Jerry is still here at this time.

If I say everything I should say, maybe SoftBank hasn't taken over, I will be adjusted.

Sun Zhengyi looked around and probably understood his concerns. At the same time, he also understood that the reason why Yahoo China has fallen to what it is today is probably related to Yahoo's headquarters.

Of course it has a lot to do with Yahoo headquarters.

In 2005, after those two things, Yahoo China's morale weakened to the extreme, and its strength also declined to the extreme.

Through the efforts of the new person in charge, it was easy to recruit some talents and morale was restored. As a result, in 2006, Yahoo launched another "Peanut Butter" project.

Yahoo headquarters believes that their original strategy is like betting on a large number of opportunities with diluted peanut butter. As a result, they have invested in many projects, but none of them are particularly focused.

Therefore, they put forward a targeted "peanut butter" plan, hoping to do a good job in three aspects: focus; detailed accountability and ownership; reform and reorganization.

It should be said that the starting point is still established, but the specific implementation is a mess.

This was originally a plan to boost Yahoo, but in the end it plunged Yahoo into a complete crisis.

The final outcome is that the Yahoo headquarters, the executives are shaken, and the Chinese company, because of this plan, has been laid off by as much as 20%!

Since then, several people in charge have changed, and the business direction has been adjusted again and again, and the overall performance has become worse and worse... plus this sale.

Although it is sold at a good price, this good price does not benefit a large number of grassroots employees. So, how can you improve morale?

Sun Zhengyi's anger is also getting stronger and stronger.

After meeting with Su Mingtian, he also paid more attention to the Chinese market. Didn't he hear Su Mingtian say that now China has surpassed Japan to become the world's second largest advertising market?

Other investments in the Chinese market have been attacked by Feng Yiping everywhere. Only the Yahoo China platform will be in his own hands without any constraints in the future.

But after a short walk, he realized that the group of people in front of him obviously couldn't bear his high hopes.

For him, who is already in a bad mood, such a thing would add fuel to the fire. What did I buy for such a high price?

He repeatedly urged himself to stop anger and anger, "Zhang, I want to ask, is there any influence from external factors?" he asked.

Dr. Zhang looked up, “Since Microsoft initiated the acquisition at the beginning of the year, the company’s employee turnover has increased significantly.”

"Many of our technical backbone ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ have received calls from headhunters,"

There was another evil spirit in Sun Zhengyi's heart, because he didn't need to ask to know that Feng Yiping must be indispensable among the people who dig the wall.

"Zhang, I hope you can convey my promise to everyone. After SoftBank takes over, we will invest sufficient funds in the Chinese company to support the development of our original main business areas."

In order to avoid turmoil, he did not say that Yahoo China will also transform to search and social networking.

"I hope that everyone will work together so that Yahoo China, like Yahoo Japan, will develop vigorously." He did not realize that this comparison actually made many executives in the conference room upset. The market is different, what is there to compare?

"I must convey it," Dr. Zhang said immediately.

But when he sent away Sun Zhengyi, who had no good face, he made a call soon after, "It's me, about the position you mentioned last time..."
