Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: December 3, 2003}

{Location: Planting Flowers - Special Administrative Region and United States - California}

There were not too many people in the cafe next to PricewaterhouseCoopers at this time of work. When Luo Shuohan looked at the information in his hand, he occasionally looked up at the young man opposite, but saw that he looked calm and relaxed.

, with a leisurely and contented look, it is difficult to combine him with the recent troubles his company has encountered.

Luo Shuohan actually leads a team to visit Emperor Penguin every month. He still knows a little about the troubles Emperor Penguin Company has been having recently. But the person opposite can be so leisurely and contented, perhaps because Emperor Penguin has less than a thousand people.

Small companies, even companies that had no need for his personal intervention, have enough confidence.

This company, which was only established for a year and a half, has achieved sales of 167 million U.S. dollars and has a net profit of 59.18 million U.S. dollars. At the same time, the young man in front of a company called Skype in Luxembourg has a cumulative sales of 2.3 million U.S. dollars.

100 million U.S. dollars and a net profit of 103 million U.S. dollars!

If the man opposite him hadn't been very interested in poaching him, he might not have known these shocking news.

But what's interesting is that since the young boss mentioned the job-hopping to him once, he has not put any effort into this matter. He has only gradually expanded more of his businesses to himself.

Just like today, he still didn't talk about changing jobs, and he didn't even talk about the recent troubles. He actually just came up with a TUP reward plan.

this……

Luo Shuohan looked at the seemingly simple but important tup (time unit plan) reward plan in his hand, and felt like he didn't know what to say.

After looking at the dozen or so pages of paper for a while, Luo Shuohan smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Ning, you already have a rough plan for the tup reward, so it's not my turn to make any comments, right?"

Ning Zimo had been looking away and thinking about the problem, and then turned back to Luo Shuohan when he heard the sound.

Smiling, Ning Zimo said, "You also know that although we paid out 1,400,000 yuan in dividends last year, it cannot always be in such a simple and crude way. But if it is shares or equity, it will definitely be in the next 10 years.

There was a lack of motivation, so I planned to use the tup reward method to allocate rewards from the beginning to ensure the creativity and vitality of the team.

However, the types of enterprises incubated by Emperor Penguin are relatively complex, and they are divided according to macro-control and free market methods. For technology-based enterprises such as {Luban Technology}, {foxmail}, and {Cool Play Technology}, we definitely need to focus on macroeconomic management.

Manage through regulation. As for a pure sales company like Diobao Technology, we plan to split into a new company with a small team system in accordance with the free market method.

Therefore, the tup reward plan still needs certain considerations, but these considerations must be formulated by the iron triangle of Emperor Penguin's cfo, cho and clo. How can a half-hearted person like me know all the details, not you guys?

Let professionals consider it?”

The Iron Triangle of Emperor Penguins?

Luo Shuohan felt that what Ning Zimo said was already obvious, which was equivalent to emphasizing that he was a CFO in the past. He could only shake his head helplessly, and spread his hands with a wry smile:

"Mr. Ning, you..."

"Emperor Penguins need to develop, and it is not enough to just rely on the management system that Li Ying and I originally built. If we want to plan for the future in the long term, we must have strong support from capable people in finance, legal affairs, human resources and other aspects.

Mr. Luo is still at PricewaterhouseCoopers. It is most reasonable for an outsider to make a preliminary plan. If you are already in Emperor Penguin at this time, you will feel that you are subject to various constraints. This is why everyone

The main reason why large companies often seek help from external consulting firms.

I'll set the big framework and you'll do the details, and you'll make the details and I'll make the final decision. Once all the specifications are in place, Mr. Luo can formally consider whether Emperor Penguin is a company worthy of your trust. This approach of killing multiple birds with one stone can also

This just shows my sincerity in inviting Mr. Luo."

Listening to Ning Zimo's description of the process, Luo Shuohan's lips kept curling up.

Generally speaking, the greatest sincerity is to invite people into the company first and then completely delegate power. But Luo Shuohan himself does not think so, because any large company will have the situation that Ning Zimo said. When promoting from within

There will be a lot of resistance, and the boss's complete liberalization is more like a drop-off management style, which is prone to various hidden problems.

Ning Zimo's current method of formulating plans from the outside and making decisions internally is considered an extremely fair method.

As for whether he can make this plan well, it will become an interview question if he considers joining the Emperor Penguins.

It seems like a cumbersome method, but it is an improvement plan that achieves multiple goals with one stone.

This young boss always has some wild ideas.

This is probably the most powerful evidence that he led Emperor Penguin to find a new way to develop to this day.

"Mr. Luo needs to give more consideration to the tup reward mechanism plan. As for the quotation of the plan, our Emperor Penguin will definitely pay the corresponding fee to PwC."

Ning Zimo tapped his knuckles on the table, leaned forward slightly and said, "I have always been looking forward to Mr. Luo's joining. Our Emperor Penguin also needs a professional financial team to handle our complex business system.

Support. I hope that what I have presented can appease Mr. Luo’s appetite and prove enough that our emperor penguins desire Mr. Luo.”

Pay corresponding fees to PwC!

It almost goes without saying.

Because Luo Shuohan could be sure that this was the second time that he knew clearly that Ning Zimo had extended a longing invitation to him.

This young boss has always known what he wants, which is why Emperor Penguin has such a promising company.

For such a sincere invitation, Luo Shuohan felt that there was no need for him to follow Zhuge Liang's example and be visited three times in the thatched cottage.

After thinking about it, Luo Shuohan nodded and said, "No matter what, as long as I am still a member of PricewaterhouseCoopers, we will do a good job in the consulting business provided by Mr. Ning. As for Mr. Ning's invitation, we will wait until

After my team has made some achievements, we are waiting for Mr. Ning to come and accept them."

Waiting for your own acceptance!

Luo Shuohan did not reply directly.

In fact, I have already given my own answer.

Ning Zimo stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand to the former CFO of Tengxun across from him, "Then I'll wait for Mr. Luo to advance."

"I'll do my best."

Luo Shuohan stood up and held hands with Ning Zimo.

Unexpectedly, after shaking, Ning Zimo winked at him and said, "I hope Mr. Luo will try to spare some time in the near future, because there may be a big project that needs your team's help in three months at most. Let's talk about it together."

.”

???

Big project?

What will it be?

Luo Shuohan was a little confused.

When Jeff Jordan walked into the conference room early in the morning on December 3, he found that several other senior executives of the company were already in place. He nodded to everyone and sat next to the main seat. The place was temporarily empty because

This high-level meeting will be chaired by CEO Meg Whitman.

Just after Jordan sat down, there was a soft sound of high heels at the door. Then, someone pushed the door open. Meg Whitman's footsteps did not pause from beginning to end, and she walked straight into the office and sat at the top.

.

As she sat there, the whole conference room was silent.

And when she glanced around the conference room, everyone unconsciously puffed up their chests.

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Meg Whitman pointed to the conference table in front of her and said:

"One year ago, it was in this conference room. The youngest coo-Ning in the history of Beibao, whom I once wanted to recruit, signed a skrpe agreement with our Yibei third-party open platform in this place.

protocol."

Meg Whitman spoke very slowly because she was thinking of that young face as she spoke.

"It's only been a year... or even less than a year. You are all familiar with the survey data of the past three months. I believe that no one will be as disdainful of skrpe this time as they were a year ago, or three months ago.

Already."

Whitman narrowed his eyes and glanced around. The expressions of some of the managers who had just been so arrogant suddenly changed slightly.

The subtle changes in the faces of those people could not escape Whitman's eyes, but she would not push them too hastily.

Still burying the disdain in his heart, Whitman's expression remained unchanged, but his speaking speed increased slightly:

"After verification by the Luxembourg tax department, the authenticity of skrpe's Q3 quarter announcement has also been confirmed. The turnover was US$74.31 million. The number of skrpe users last month was as high as 96 million. Among them, European users accounted for 60%, and European paid users accounted for 55%.

!”

When Whitman said this, his tone improved a lot.

She paused and looked at a few people in particular.

Those are the people whose expressions have just changed,

Now, they have already suppressed the information at hand with pale faces.

"Seattle's Mariana is now so powerful that even the dumb tiger mall has stepped up its promotion efforts. The cooperation model between skrpe and Yibi has been directly applied by the new dumb tiger mall.

Nowadays, although we are still the pioneers of e-commerce in the United States, Mariana is ahead and Yahu Mall is behind! When the competition in the U.S. market intensifies, should we also learn from this young man who created the miracle of skrpe users?

Learn how to find a new way to open the European station and increase promotion efforts?

Should we take down skrpe! Use its user base to reverse the overall situation and march into Europe, instead of just being the dominant player in the United States?"

As his eyes kept flickering on the faces of the livid-faced billionaire executives, Whitman stood up holding on to the table.

Reflecting the anger still hidden in his chest directly on his face, Whitman sneered:

"Gentlemen, we cannot sit still and wait for death. On Beibao, we have already tasted the sweetness. But if we only focus on the e-commerce platform and ignore the potential significance that skrpe may bring to us, many years later

When Mariana and Yahu Mall rise, will we regret it!

Regret that we missed a great opportunity to distance ourselves from our development-stage enemies?

Regret that you missed a great opportunity to develop your business in a different way?

Regret that you missed an opportunity to break new ground?”

Whitman held up the heavy skrpe document behind him and looked across the conference table.

In front of her was the solid wall of the conference room, but she firmly believed that there must be a future ahead.

She squinted her eyes and raised the skrpe information high above her head:

"Gentlemen, does anyone still have any objections to the acquisition of an instant messaging company by our e-commerce platform Yibi?"

There was silence in the conference room,

There was no objection.

Jeff Jordan looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly sneered in his heart.

They finally cleared all the obstacles and decided to take action against skrpe!

rather,

Are you ready,

Are you ready?
