Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: June 3, 2003}

{Location: United States-California}

If there are many subjects in life, then feelings must be a very important subject. But just like PUAs can be divided into good and evil groups among different people, if the subject of feelings is really to be studied, it will definitely be divided into top students and bad students.

.

And Ning Zimo feels that he should be a bad student, because he must have selected all his skill points for work and business-related talents, so there must be no skill points that can be used in the talent tree of love!

Therefore, when he accepted the fitness card from Lu Xiaona that day, Ning Zimo felt that he must have been stupid at the time.

However, he didn't have much time to digest these things, because he had just flown to the United States on June 2nd. After a half-day rest, early in the morning on June 3rd, the emperor penguin leaders led by him gathered together.

Li Ying from the United States came to Elon Musk's company.

I have no time to think about anything ambiguous or being flirted with.

***+***

"I have decided that I will retire on Mars in the future."

When Elon Musk said these words yearningly, a huge visiting group of Emperor Penguins was standing behind him and Ning Zimo.

From the second floor platform of the specax office area, everyone can stand here and directly overlook the entire open factory area of ​​specax.

Speaking of which, Ning Zimo feels that he has not had much contact with Elon Musk, but the former Beiba CEO who was the first to issue a job offer to him when he left Beiba did not have many contacts with him.

There is a certain odor of congeniality in communication.

After all, he and Musk are both software engineers. They rely on logical thinking, imagination and even the future development direction of mankind. The two of them have indeed had many topics to talk about in the past.

Fortunately, there is a distance of more than 20,000 kilometers between Changhua and the United States. In addition, the 13-hour time difference between California and Changhua has limited many opportunities for communication between the two.

Otherwise, with the rhythm of the two people talking till the end of the world every time they start a topic, I am afraid they would have become sworn brothers in Taoyuan.

But even so, Ning Zimo still feels that the two of them are good friends now. It is precisely with this kind of friendship foundation that Elon Musk proposed such an exchange opportunity to Ning Zimo.

Elon Max even helped Ning Zimo plan his itinerary at Specax, and even sent a company car to pick up Ning Zimo and his party at the hotel where they were staying.

Located in the western United States,

california,

No. 1 Rocket Road, Hawthorne City,

specax company factory area.

…

"Did you know? Only after you have gone through the supply chain yourself can you completely figure out how to reduce production costs...

In order to strive to build it into a simple, lean and vertically integrated enterprise, the company only has 2 presidents and 14 senior executives, and the employees all have unique skills.

specax implements a highly flat management system, without redundant and complicated administrative agencies. Technicians with dreams can do their jobs in a down-to-earth manner and concentrate on building rockets without getting bogged down in endless meetings..."

Ning Zimo discovered that Elon Musk was quite a talkative person in front of him, not at all as stingy with words as he was at Beibao.

Along the way, Elon Musk has been explaining to Ning Zimo and his team his original intention of founding specax and his management philosophy in an orderly manner. No matter what Ning Zimo thinks, the reference group feels that they have benefited a lot.

Especially for Tang Ruiwen, who has been polishing her English for more than a year, Musk's fast speaking speed made it difficult for her to listen, but she didn't want any important information to be missed.

Because this is not only a task assigned to her by the head master.

What's more, she wants to work hard to learn management experience.

However, such a serious communication atmosphere was finally broken by the boss of the family.

When Ning Zimo followed Max and sat in the reception room next to the office, Ning Zimo took the coffee that Musk personally handed over and still couldn't help but complain:

"So, Elon, your plan to flatten the company is the reason why your specax CEO personally delivers coffee to me?"

(￣￣)

Tang Ruiwen was immediately confused when she heard what the boss said. After all, this was someone else's company. They were kind enough to explain their management experience, but how could they tease their own boss?

But what Tang Ruiwen didn't expect was that Mr. Elon Musk, the CEO of Specax, who seemed to her to be very dignified, was very easy-going.

Elon spread his hands and frowned,

Forget it, Ning Zimo responded.

Not only Tang Ruiwen was surprised by the sudden change in the conversation between the two, but even Han Qinghua found it incredible.

When he came here, his brother-in-law told him that the CEO of Specax, Mr. Elon Musk, had gained more than 100 million US dollars after selling Beiba shares!

More than 100 million US dollars!

Calculating the current income of Luban Technology, it will take more than 20 years to catch up.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but Ning Zimo didn't care. He and Elon often joked with each other on skrpe. At least he couldn't see from Elon that the so-called science students were uninterested.

At this point, he is indeed far from Elon!

…

Next to the conference room where Ning Zimo and the others are now, there is a large office with a large bay.

Elon Musk, who was born in Silicon Valley, advocates an open office environment. He believes that such a design is conducive to efficient communication among employees.

There are no obvious boundaries between departments in the large office. Sub-system engineers in rocket propulsion, materials, structure, and system integration are all concentrated in that very large office. Work problems can be solved face-to-face at any time, which undoubtedly improves work efficiency.

Elon Musk's own desk is also in the corner of the large office, and the red chair is particularly eye-catching.

Thinking that the office in the Special Administrative Region also had this style, the reference group discovered that the office culture defined by Ning Zimo turned out to be derived from the corporate culture in Silicon Valley.

I thought about the experience of my boss, who had worked for PayPal in the United States for more than a year, and the second boss, Li Ying, who had worked at McKinsey for several years, as well as the management training framework that the company had implemented before Xi Dan was in place.

.

Only then did everyone understand that although Emperor Penguin was not yet a Fortune 500 company, it was already developing under the management training model of the Fortune 500.

"But, if there is no administrative department..."

Xi Dan was a little confused. After all, he came from Xingxing. In his opinion, the Emperor Penguin was already an anomaly. But what he didn't expect was that a large company far away in the United States was even more different than the Emperor Penguin?

"No," Elon Musk shook his head. He raised his chin and nodded at Ning Zimo, explaining to Xi Dan, "I heard Ning say that your Emperor Penguin has a human resources department. The same goes for us at Specax.

We also have a human resources department, which is small with less than 3 people.

But after all, we are a company in the professional field, and knowledge and administrative matters often slow us down. Therefore, we have made the human resources department extremely simple, and they have replaced the so-called administrative work to a certain extent. However, our human resources department

The operation efficiency is also very efficient, and the important thing is that we also have masseurs!”

Xi Dan looked at his partners with wide eyes after hearing this, and found that the same look was shining in their eyes.

(￣￣)

When Elon saw everyone's experience, he just spread his hands, crooked his head, and frowned, acting as if he should take it for granted.

Masseuse?

Han Qinghua glanced at Ning Zimo unconsciously, but Ning Zimo, who was sitting next to him, imitated Elon and responded back.

(￣￣)

The result is obvious, Ning Zimo will not let all the parts be put back mechanically.

Dreams come quickly,

It goes so fast.

(^)

If Ning Zimo knew what Han Qinghua was thinking, he would definitely shake his head.

In fact, what he just wanted to express was completely different from Han Qinghua's understanding.

What he wants to say is that these future Internet giants are not as high-minded as they will be in the future. They also have their own personalities and still have time to show off.

Xi Dan thought for a while, raised his head and looked at Elon Musk and said, "Mr. Musk, I think our current management and execution system of Emperor Penguin is indeed a good mechanism. Whether it is from regulations to execution,

We implemented it pretty well.

At present, our Emperor Penguin Flower Planting Office is just like the current style of Specax. The staff sit in similar places and can directly communicate and solve any problems. We have not clearly divided the department structure, and there are no redundant managers. There are more than 400

There are several different companies and there is only an HR team of 7 people.”

Pointing to the scene outside the conference room, Xi Dan smiled and said, "Are most technology companies in Silicon Valley like this?"

Elon snapped his fingers when he heard this, "Yes, at least in my opinion, most innovative companies have office models that require people to get together. It does not require the participation of too many administrative staff, and government orders can often be very effective.

Implement it quickly.

Obviously, your leader - Ning, like me, is an innovative leader with an engineer background. And the temperament of a company is often determined by the leader. I have heard from Ning and you about your Emperor Penguin Company.

Description, I also know that your Emperor Penguin is a comprehensive but innovative enterprise.

Although your Emperor Penguin has many businesses, companies need products to determine their level. Good products are the core competitiveness, and all funds should be spent on how to figure out better products and prepare for their use.

People who provide these products can provide better service..."

Before departure, Ning Zimo had a communication with the Emperor Penguin management team and core leaders. At that time, Ning Zimo limited the meeting time and did not explain the defined "management" theme clearly.

But this time after coming to Specax and hearing people outside the company system talking about the same thing, everyone in Emperor Penguin felt differently.

On the one hand, everyone hears management knowledge from a third party from people outside the team. On the other hand, this person outside the team - Elon Musk, has enough weight to prove that the information they obtained is "

"real".

Xi Dan listened to Elon Musk's words and kept nodding his head.

He recognized the words of this Silicon Valley entrepreneur, especially what they were talking about now, which was already the layout implemented by the first and second bosses in the special zone. This at least shows that their Emperor Penguin has always been on the right track in terms of management philosophy.

on the road.

The times are always progressing, and everyone must accept new ideas to move forward. And some people are bound to move faster than others because their ideas are more advanced, their goals are clearer, their details are more precise, and their execution ability

More powerful.

At this time, when they recalled the seemingly illusory things that the headmaster Ning Zimo said, they suddenly felt that their own vision limited their judgment, so that in fact, the big guys had always been too far behind the headmaster.

In addition to gaining experience, this exchange may also be an excellent opportunity to truly examine yourself.

Everyone was extremely serious. Even people like Jing Cheng, Hu Qiang, and He Jianjia, who didn't know anything about management but only about products, were able to learn a lot from the translated content.

The Emperor Penguins were extremely serious, but when Ning Zimo looked at Elon, he was thinking of other things.

In the previous life, Specax finally pushed the rocket into Earth orbit and successfully salvaged the spacecraft.

At that time, there were only three countries and one person in the world who had mastered spacecraft launch and recovery technology: China, the United States, Russia and Elon Musk.

However, it supports the idea that this person can be compared with three countries.

In what Elon just said to the Emperor Penguins,

Right inside the Specax company that Ning Zimo is currently stepping on.

Elon Musk,

After all, it is the light of Silicon Valley.
