Game Development Giant

Jester doesn't mind being used. After all, Samsung will be one of his most important plans in the future. As long as Samsung can rise, he will be happy to act with Lee Kun-hee.

After that, Li Jianxi roared for nine hours. Although Jester was a little bored, as the second shareholder of Samsung, he was not in a position to open such an important thing as the first shareholder. It would be too impolite to leave a meeting that was closely related to Samsung's future development. After all, I had a large share swap with Samsung and they were a true community of interests.

In fact, Jester heard that Li Jianxi's direction of reform was similar to the ideas of many companies that he knew later in the consumer electronics industry, which were to focus on quality control and striving for change, and completely change the prevailing quantity-oriented approach at that time. The core idea is not mainstream in this era, but it will inevitably become the mainstream of this type of product in the future.

Of course, it is not easy to do this. If you put aside the external phenomena and look deeply, everything Li Jianxi said will become clear - his idea of ​​​​change is to sense the crisis in the early stages of development and use it to To create product quality as the core and inject vitality into the enterprise, we must gain operational success from technological success. It was not an easy task to reform such a large enterprise at that time. How to find a breakthrough point became a crucial issue.

After the meeting, Li Jianxi found Jester again.

"Jester, let's talk some more." Li Jianxi looked a little tired, his voice was hoarse, and his lips were visibly white. It was obvious that the previous nine hours of long roaring still had a great impact on him.

After hearing what Li Jianxi said. Jester also nodded, and he and Li Jianxi were walking casually in a park outside. It was already evening. The lights came on, and Li Jianxi didn't say anything at first. Jester didn't speak either. He was mainly waiting for Li Jianxi to open the topic first, so that he could give his own suggestions on the problem he mentioned.

"I think we at Samsung must transform from quantity to quality without delay. This is basically where the competitiveness of the future electronics industry lies, and it is also our survival, Jester. Maybe you don't know much about Samsung's internals, I can tell you that Samsung currently has 30,000 people making raw tea and 6,000 people doing sales, but it only has less than 2,000 technical staff! How can such a company compete with others? Therefore, the most important thing now is to find out the cause in terms of quality and find ways to solve it. We must make our products reach world-class levels, even if the entire production line is stopped. Even if it seriously affects our market sales, No matter what, but..." "Are you worried that your subordinates don't understand you?" Jester took over, and Li Jianxi nodded after hearing Jester's words. He was indeed worried. Those subordinates whose vision is far less long-term than his don't understand him, because if he wants to reform like this, Samsung's performance will inevitably decline significantly in the foreseeable future.

Seeing Li Jianxi nodding, Jester smiled. He also understands that Li Jianxi's current prestige is based on him being Li Bingzhe's successor. In other words, his prestige comes from Li Bingzhe. He has not established his own prestige in the large Samsung group, and although his previous purge eliminated many opponents, there are also many more people who temporarily left many people because of his purge. He just lurked down out of fear.

If he cannot lead Samsung to a more successful future, then these people will definitely be extremely dissatisfied.

A large group with internal instability is extremely dangerous. There have been countless examples of this in the past. Moreover, this time Samsung plans to put all its efforts into consumer electronics, which they are not good at. This kind of courage is also It has to be admired.

"I have an opinion, and I support you. If Samsung wants to really make gains in consumer electronics, there is only one way, and that is to change." Jester has hardly gone through anything. Thinking about it, he said categorically to Li Jianxi, "Samsung must change its thinking of only treating South Korea as its main market. This old-fashioned and lack of thinking must be abandoned. Otherwise, those big words you said before may be It really can only be a big lie.”

Jester continued to help Li Jianxi make up his mind. He clearly knew that the reforms Li Jianxi carried out at Samsung had completely changed Samsung's spiritual outlook and laid the most solid foundation for Samsung's rise after the 1997 financial crisis. Base.

"So how to reform?" Li Jianxi seemed not to want to continue to dwell on this issue. He didn't know whether he had made a decision or wanted to avoid the issue. At least Jester couldn't tell from his tone. What he really thought in his heart, but Jester didn't care. He had said everything he needed to say. He said all these reasons because he just wanted Li Jianxi to make up his mind as soon as possible instead of dilly-dallying like he is now. Hesitant.

He is not trying to persuade Li Jianxi, because he knows that Li Jianxi has already made up his mind to reform. He is just making Li Jianxi's determination stronger and more resolute, so that he will do what he will definitely do in the future.

"There is no need to move the roots first, but you can move the core. As long as the core is moved, then nothing can't be moved... Do you want to fight with your subordinates?" Jester said with a smile. I think of Li Jianxi's reform measures, which have been studied by countless entrepreneurs countless times, because this reform involving a huge enterprise with tens of thousands of people is a very, very outstanding reform.

"What do you mean?" Hearing Jester's words, Li Jianxi frowned. He didn't understand what Jester was talking about. What does it mean to not move the fundamentals but focus on the core? What does it mean not to fight with his subordinates? Meeting each other, if the core is moved, doesn't it mean that you are really going to fight with your subordinates? What on earth is Jester talking about? Why can’t I understand it at all?

"hehe."

Jester also saw the confusion on Li Jianxi's face. Of course he knew why the other party was like this, because no one could understand it when Li Jianxi was reforming like this. However, after analyzing it later, he discovered that the reason why Li Jianxi was in this situation was This was done carefully from the beginning, and it was a very imaginative change to the core.

"What do you mean by core...Brother Li, let me ask you simply, what do you think the employees of your company think will never change?" Jester said this with a smile. talk.

"What is never..." Hearing Jester's words, Li Jianxi frowned and fell into deep thought. For a moment, he really couldn't think of an explanation for what the forehead said, but just now Just when he was about to ask, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something, and he said excitedly, "Jace, you mean...work and rest time?"

After saying this, Li Jianxi's tone also contained a hint of excitement. It was obvious that he had understood what Jester meant.

South Korea is a society with deep-rooted norms and strict hierarchies. Especially a rule that has been observed for decades, and if this rule has no obvious shortcomings, no one will agree to change this rule. Provoking authority is not a praiseworthy thing in South Korea, a country with a strong Confucian culture, but reform is precisely challenging authority.

Regarding the work and rest system of Korean companies, they have always followed a nine-to-five work and rest system. This system has been implemented for 20 to 30 years, and everyone is very satisfied.

You know, it takes a lot of courage to change a system that is supported by everyone, but then again, although doing so will not receive much support, it is not a matter of interest, so, There will not be much opposition. This is just a very obvious tentative move, expressing an attitude to everyone, that is, this time the determination is to reform to the end.

After a full ten minutes of silence, the eyes that were still shining fell silent.

Li Jianxi took a deep breath. He seemed to have made some kind of decision, and seemed to be constantly encouraging himself to make this determination: "Jace, you have to know that if you want to change this first, you can't do it first." It’s just 40,000 to 50,000 people in Samsung Electronics, but 200,000 employees in Samsung as a whole!” Even though he said that, Jester couldn’t hear the slightest hint of flinching from Li Jianxi’s tone.

And Jester just smiled, and he still spoke in a very light tone.

"Brother Li, I know that you are familiar with many ancient books of our country. You must have heard something Mencius once said, right?" After Jester finished speaking, he looked at Li Jianxi. He did not say these words of Mencius. .

Li Jianxi only thought for a moment and knew what Jester was talking about.

He opened his arms as if hugging something.

"Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go..."

"What should we do specifically?" Li Jianxi was obviously determined this time, and Jester could hear it from his tone.

"This time you just express your attitude and your determination. It doesn't need to be too troublesome. For example, it would be good to change from nine to five to seven to four. It will advance the time to go to work two hours, but it will not allow you to get off work. The time is only delayed by one hour, which not only allows employees to stagger the peak period of commuting, but also further challenges their bottom line."

What Jester said was what he remembered about Li Jianxi's reforms.
