Chapter 779

Facing the arrogant and unreasonable Audrey Morley, Xiong Minghua was also exhausted mentally and physically.

The two of them couldn't deal with each other in the company. They had disliked each other for a long time. Coupled with Bai Pi's unique arrogance, Xiong Minghua was very disgusted.

Now Lu Yiming had extended an olive branch to him, so he didn't get used to it and said directly: "Since you think it's my fault, then I'll resign."

As soon as he said this, several people in the office were very shocked.

Chen Yongzheng looked at Xiong Minghua in surprise and advised, "Don't be impulsive. Everything can be discussed."

Luo Chuan also said: "Yes, when you encounter problems, you just need to solve them. There is no need to resign directly. Failure is not terrible. In the worst case, you can just start from scratch."

In their view, being able to serve as a senior executive at Microsoft is the ultimate form of working as a worker. If you resign from Microsoft, they don't know how many years it will take to return to such a position.

After getting along with each other for a period of time, Chen Yongzheng still admired Xiong Minghua very much. He immediately came to Xiong Minghua and said in a low voice: "I won't go to the point of resigning. At most, I will take the blame and be punished. Don't be impulsive.

.”

However, Xiong Minghua was determined. He didn't even think about it at all, and just blurted out: "Forget it, if you are not happy, you might as well change jobs. I won't bear this anger."

Chen Yongzheng said helplessly: "How can you guarantee your life if you leave your job in such a hasty way? Can you find a better job than now?"

"Yes." Xiong Minghua said without hesitation.

Chen Yongzheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "So sure? Where do you want to go?"

"Yixun."

"ah?"

Chen Yongzheng was stunned.

Not only Chen Yongzheng was confused, Luo Chuan also felt incredible.?

"What do you mean? Isn't Yi Xun working on QQ? Are you joining just because you can't beat it?"

Xiong Minghua didn't bother to explain so much, and immediately said: "That's what you think. Okay, I'll leave first. I'll hand in the resignation report later."

"Hey you..."

Luo Chuan wanted to say something else, but Chen Yongzheng stopped him and said, "Okay, don't say it. It's useless to talk so much. I guess it was Lu Yiming who came to him and promised him some benefits. Lu Yiming

Don’t guys just like to do things like this?”

After a while, after sending Audrey Morley away, Chen Yongzheng contacted Lu Yiming and started talking about business after announcing his home address.

"Mr. Lu, are you so unkind? Are you coming to me to poach people at this juncture?"

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "MSN will close down sooner or later anyway, and there is no use for Mr. Xiong to stay at Microsoft. Why not jump to Yixun Technology, so that everyone has a bright future? Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Regarding Lu Yiming's remarks, Chen Yongzheng was speechless. Although he was also unhappy with Audrey Morley's condescending attitude, after all, he was still a Microsoft executive and was still in charge of MSN, so he said angrily: "Lu

Sir, are you drawing this conclusion a little too early?"

Lu Yiming said: "It doesn't matter, it's the truth anyway. It doesn't matter when you say it."

"you……"

Facing Lu Yiming's shamelessness, Chen Yongzheng had no choice but to hang up the phone angrily.

As soon as Luo Yunchuan saw Chen Yongzheng's expression, he knew that he must have said nothing. He said with a sad face: "What should we do? Now is a critical moment, where do you think we can find a technical expert? That Mo Li

The guy I brought here, Gong Xiaofeng, doesn’t understand technology at all. He thought he could beat QQ by playing marketing. I don’t even know what to say. We can’t beat Lu’s richest man when it comes to marketing.”

Chen Yongzheng shook his head and sighed: "Xiong Minghua has changed jobs. I'm afraid MSN is hopeless."

Chen Yongzheng has a clear view of Xia Guo's market. Nowadays, QQ has become a trend. Whether it is work, life or entertainment, it crushes MSN in all social fields.

Even if Microsoft has a big business, it can still be delayed for a few years, but what's the use of keeping half-dead projects?

The key is that people sent from the headquarters cannot solve the problem at all.

Chen Yongzheng pinched his eyebrows and said, "Just take it one step at a time. Anyway, I have no choice."

Luo Chuan said, half jokingly and half seriously: "What you said makes me want to quit."

What the two did not expect was that due to Xiong Minghua's departure, many technical product and market key players would soon be poached from MSN's project department by Yixun.

Originally, these talents were the top elites that Microsoft had worked hard to collect in Xia Kingdom over the years. Each of them was one of the best in a million.

After absorbing this batch of talents, Yixun quickly revamped QQ significantly, making the style simpler, adding features such as winking animations, and making the product functions even better.

The fact that Xiong Minghua switched jobs to Yixun was quickly captured by keen media reporters. They were all very interested in it and came to interview Xiong Minghua one after another.

"Mr. Xiong, it's really hard to imagine that you would leave your position as a Microsoft executive and jump to a company like Yixun. Although Yixun is a company owned by Lu's richest man, it has also created popular products like QQ.

, but in any case, Yixun's size cannot be compared with Microsoft. What is the reason that prompted you to make such a definition?"

With a smile on his face, Xiong Minghua answered the reporter's question without hesitation: "Every company has its own characteristics. It is actually very undesirable to blindly pursue large companies or multinational enterprises. Moreover, I believe that Yi

Xun Technology will also become a world-class platform in the near future, and I can even boldly predict that Yixun will become the largest social software company in the world."

A reporter didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and asked directly: "I heard that Mr. Xiong was in charge of the MSN project at Microsoft before. Now that you, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, have chosen to change jobs, do you think MSN is over?"

This question is so simple and direct, and full of gunpowder. Although Xiong Minghua has now switched jobs to Yi Xun, he is still very annoyed by this question. He feels that MSN is a project he handles after all, so saying this is tantamount to denying the project.

value. But he thought of Audrey Morley's face again, and gritted his teeth and said: "In my opinion, MSN can indeed be said to be dead."

The reporter was stunned by this answer.

They say straight men with science and engineering majors, if they dig a hole for you, do you really jump into it?

The reporter became even more excited and asked aggressively: "Mr. Xiong, why do you say that? Do you have any basis for it?"

Xiong Minghua looked calm and said expressionlessly: "There is no basis. Facing QQ's all-round attack, MSN's defeat is only a matter of time. Now it is nothing more than a death struggle, not to mention that in my opinion, MSN is actually very dead.

injustice."

One big melon after another, the reporters' hands were shaking with excitement, and they wanted to give Xiong Minghua, a big boss who dared to say anything, a cigarette.

It’s so brave!

However, the reporters were not satisfied yet. They continued to ask Xiong Minghua: "If MSN is dead, whose problem is it? Is it the technical staff or the company's senior management?"

Xiong Minghua said: "For the MSN project, for a super giant like Microsoft, chatting and social networking are not its focus, and products in this field cannot become the core system platform that leads the entire IT industry. From beginning to end, MSN is nothing but Microsoft's focus.

A small chess piece in many plans for the future. For MSN, Microsoft has never invested enough resources and attention."

In front of reporters, Xiong Minghua began to review the entire incident seriously. He was not trying to shirk the blame, but he talked about the detailed mistakes Microsoft had made in the MSN project. He talked eloquently: "

The casual attitude and rigid operating mechanism made it difficult for MSN, which once had a chance to enter glory, to escape the fate of extinction. Moreover, Microsoft's authorization of MSN is very problematic."

This topic immediately puts all the responsibility on Microsoft.

Reporters once again expressed shock. After all, how could Microsoft make a mistake? What about such a big company?

In the eyes of ordinary people, big companies are good at everything, have the most forward-looking vision, have a lot of cash in their hands, and have countless talents. Logically speaking, they will always be at the forefront of technological innovation and are perfect.

, it is impossible to make a mistake.

In fact, the probability and frequency of mistakes in large companies are much greater than that of small companies. Every year, there are countless abandoned projects. Just because the company is large enough, there are enough trial and error costs.

The projects in the pipeline have no chance to meet consumers. And those small companies are very small and cannot withstand any storms. Therefore, if they choose projects carefully, they will be less likely to make mistakes.

Xiong Minghua's words made the reporter feel unbelievable: "No way? Ordinary people will try to avoid these mistakes. How could a company as big as Microsoft make such low-level mistakes?"

Xiong Minghua said calmly: "Microsoft is a company, and the people who run this company are also living people, so of course Microsoft will make mistakes. Why should I talk about the issue of authorization? This authorization is not only about managing authorization and market

The most important thing about marketing localization is product localization, giving the local product team sufficient authority to modify the product."

"On Wednesday last week, due to issues with the location and format of the advertisement, an employee wrote an email. This email was later forwarded to Xiangjiang (where Microsoft is located in Greater China) and then to London (Microsoft's Asia Pacific headquarters).

, and finally transferred to the headquarters. A week passed like this, almost circling the earth, but in the end the problem was not solved. In the end, we had to find a way to compromise ourselves."

"With such efficiency, how can it compete with the united QQ?"

Nowadays, there are not many multinational companies in Xia State, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to have access to these things. In the eyes of ordinary people, these world-class companies, super-scale multinational enterprises, have a beautifying filter.

Just like when many people mention beautiful countries, they think they are good here or there.

From the perspective of ordinary people, don’t multinational companies know how to do things that I, an ordinary person, know how to do? Are there so many top talents in their companies that they can’t see?

In fact, being able to see and being able to do it are completely different things. Just like the example mentioned by Xiong Minghua. Don’t you know that the Internet is changing rapidly and opportunities are fleeting? In fact, everyone knows. The key is that those who can do things have no rights.

Dry, by the time you get this authorization the day lily will be completely cool.

Xiong Minghua's words stunned countless reporters. It was the first time they knew that the internal management of multinational companies was so bureaucratic.

No wonder people say that the ship will turn around in case of a disaster. This kind of process, which requires asking for instructions on everything, is obviously unable to cope with the complex market situation in the Internet industry.

Soon, Xiong Minghua's interview appeared in newspapers, and people got their first glimpse of how large companies operate through newspapers.

Very unreasonable and very inhumane. This is what everyone said about these so-called big companies after reading the report.

As the saying goes, those who don't know are fearless. Many people who read the report felt that I could work for such a stupid management.

On the other side, after the newspaper was published, it somehow appeared on Bill Gates' desk. After reading the report, Bill Gates was very unhappy and called Lu Yiming directly: "You dug me

Even though I’m a human being, you still publish me in the newspaper. Isn’t this a bit too much?”

Facing Bill Gates, Lu Yiming also felt very helpless and said with a wry smile: "You have to believe me, those words are really what Xiong Minghua said himself, not my instructions."

However, Bill Gates felt that he knew Lu Yiming quite well, and was naturally dismissive of Lu Yiming's defense: "You are such a bad person, and you still want to wrongfully accuse Xiong Minghua?"

When Lu Yiming heard this, he immediately became unhappy and immediately defended himself at the top of his lungs: "What you said is meaningless. Why am I so upset? I have always held myself to a very high moral standard, okay?

"

Bill Gates sneered at this: "Do you believe what you say?"

Lu Yiming said: "Okay, I know you are very unhappy. You just lost to me again. What's the big deal? You are the richest man in the world. You should be more generous. Why don't you have any plans?"

Bill Gates was anxious: "Who said I lost? MSN hasn't lost yet, okay? The worst thing is that I don't go to Xiaguo to compete with you. Anyway, your QQ can't enter the United States. When the time comes, we will rule across the river.

Your QQ is domineering in the Xia Kingdom, and my MSN is used throughout the Western world."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "I am really struggling with QQ, but I am afraid that the cake of social software will not fall into the hands of MSN in the end."

Bill Gates suddenly felt numb and said angrily: "You guy, how can you say that? Except for being thrown into the trap by your conspiracy when I was in Xia Kingdom, MSN has no rivals in other parts of the world.

!”

Lu Yiming couldn't help but laugh: "Are you so confident?"
