Chapter 3070 The bigger it gets, the more stable it becomes

The decision has been made to become a subsidiary of Ziweixing Human Resources Management.

Although it is a subsidiary, the task is heavy.

It is foreseeable that after five years, the total number of employees of the subsidiary will likely exceed the number of employees of the headquarters. After all, with the popularization of Internet technology and the transformation of Internet applications from 0-1 to 1-100, fewer and fewer cutting-edge new technologies need to be applied.

Most of the time, a lot of repetitive things are done in the inherent framework.

For example, the "small-scale rapid iteration" of products, such as front-end updates and back-end maintenance of products, such as data processing, algorithm testing, etc.... Many technologies will sink more and more. In the early years, tasks that required senior talents to complete will have greatly reduced technical content after a few years of development, and will become some repetitive labor work.

This is actually a bit dangerous.

Because innovation is destruction, and stability means mediocrity.

Only the best, bravest and most courageous people dare to take the road of innovation.

Stability is different. In order to maintain stability, many times, those innovative thorns must be excluded to maintain the "maturity" and "stability" of the current structure.

For example, in the United States, the most innovative people all start businesses, or go to places like Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Hollywood. Only those who cannot make a name for themselves in the business world and have mediocre abilities will go into politics, which is actually the consequence of "stability".

What would happen if a big businessman became the president of the United States?

That would be a big problem.

Every big boss who can fight in the business world and fight out in that kind of bloody competition is a "thorn" and has a strong spirit of innovation. Innovation means destruction, and they will feel that the existing systems are all fallacies, so they want to change them.

Whether the change is good or not is another matter, but it must be changed!

In the world of businessmen, change may not necessarily lead to survival, but if you don't change, you will definitely die.

This is different from the logic of stability in the political arena.

So if a person is too outstanding, too capable, and too innovative, he must not become a civil servant. If such a person goes into politics, if he is lucky, he can enjoy a vacation-like job in a marginal position, and if he is unlucky, he will be assigned an important task, and it is easy for something to go wrong.

According to the current logic of the Internet, those who do outsourcing are suitable for politics, and those formal employees who are truly responsible for the company, bear pressure, innovate and achieve outstanding performance will definitely be very painful if they really go into politics.

Because the logic of the two is different.

One is innovation, seeking change and development, facing the most intense market competition; the other is stability, to maintain the existing system framework without chaos, a country can only have one government agency, this is a monopoly organization.

With the development of Ziweixing, the monopoly will definitely become stronger and stronger, and the stability requirements will become higher and higher.

Take WeChat for example.

What will WeChat look like in the future?

It has basically been determined.

It is difficult to have any greater innovation, that is, to make some small innovations on the existing basis, that is, to maintain the stability of the existing business. Once the logic of the product is determined, the talents needed are also determined.

With more and more innovative businesses, fewer and fewer innovative talents are needed; with more and more stable businesses, more and more employees with personnel relations belonging to subsidiaries will be needed.

This is the dilemma that all large companies will inevitably face.

Innovation is to open up new business growth points; stability is to maintain the performance of existing business.

If it is a small company, the biggest motivation is of course to become stronger and bigger, to pursue more business growth points. If it is a large company, the meaning is completely changed. For a large company with a market value of 500 billion US dollars, the first priority is not to increase the market value of 500 billion US dollars to 600 billion US dollars, but to stabilize the market value of 500 billion US dollars and not let it fall!

Behind the giant company with a market value of 500 billion US dollars are hundreds of thousands of shareholders and hundreds of thousands of employees, and the responsibility is huge!

There is an old saying: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish."

In fact, it is the same reason. The larger the company, the greater the responsibility. Maintaining the stability of the business has become the most important internal logic. Innovation is also very important, but innovation will be restricted everywhere. We cannot let some innovations that are too destructive destroy the stability of the company structure.

In many cases, large companies have to limit their own innovation capabilities.

They have big company disease.

Everyone knows that big company disease is not good, but the reason why all large companies will encounter big company disease is because big company disease is the best choice to maintain stable development.

So Zhou Buqi invited Zhang Chaoyang to dinner that night. When talking about the outsourcing phenomenon in the industry and the changes that Ziweixing was going to make, Zhang mentioned this matter.

Zhang said: "I heard that Google's recruitment is also one-size-fits-all."

"Well, they only want students from prestigious universities, and they attach great importance to academic qualifications." Zhou Buqi has a lot of contacts with Google, so he knows very well, "Google doesn't recruit ordinary employees, only the best people. They believe that only when the best people work together can the best ideas come out."

Zhang Chaoyang asked: "People with mediocre academic qualifications but excellent abilities have no chance of getting into Google?"

"It's no use. Their recruitment criteria are students from prestigious schools. Unless your personal achievements are too good, you can go through the internal recommendation channel. If you submit resumes, those with poor academic qualifications will not be able to pass the first round of screening." Zhou Buqi is also convinced of Google's talent pool. Envy, "Google has the most talents in the world. Among technology companies, no one can compete with Google in terms of talents. There are a large number of ordinary employees in Ziweixing doing some repetitive work, but an ordinary employee in Google can't compete with Google in terms of talents." No."

Zhang Chaoyang asked: "Aren't there some low-end jobs with very low technical content in Google?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, I also asked Larry Page. A large number of repetitive tasks in Google are also done by the best people."

"Is this reliable?"

Zhang Chaoyang opened his eyes wide.

I feel like Google's approach is a waste of resources.

Letting the best IT talents in the world do some of the most basic and repetitive work is simply a waste of human resources, not to mention that it will cost Google a lot of salary expenses.

Zhou Buqi said: "Of course it's unreliable!"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "However, Google's innovation ability is first-rate. Google's innovation ability is not like that of a big company. Comparing Microsoft and Google, you can feel that Microsoft's innovation has almost stagnated, and Google's New technical systems and new innovative theories are constantly being developed, leading the industry to progress again and again.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "This is indeed a huge contribution from Google, but don't forget it. Microsoft is now at its lowest point and has just changed its CEO. Google is different. It is at its peak. It is the founder Larry Page. Return as CEO. What’s the result? The market value of Microsoft at its trough is still higher than that of Google at its peak.”

Zhang Chaoyang laughed and said: "With so many talents, is it a bad thing?"

Zhou Buqi said: "In terms of business model, I still think the domestic system is reliable. I would rather believe in those sweatshops in the south of China than Google, a hodgepodge of global elites."

"That's not true, is it?"

Zhang Chaoyang was very surprised.
