Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

"...Sometimes there are shortcuts to success, and standardized management is one of the shortcuts that companies can take when they are exploring growth. Just like you mentioned Mr. Ren's Huawei Company. They did it at all costs as early as 1996

Invite six gentlemen of the National People's Congress to write the "Huawei Basic Law".

Beginning in 1998, Huawei hired IBM to sort out their processes and establish systems. This took a total of 5 years. Huawei Attack invested a total of more than 2 billion yuan in the work of sorting out the systematic management process.

.

From small projects to large projects, and then to core management process changes, especially through the ipd and isc projects, Huawei has provided a solid foundation for future international development early on."

Although the acquisition of ThinkPad and Yamato Laboratories failed, the Soichi Yokota team introduced by Zhou Wei was already on the way. This unexpected nobleman made Ning Zimo gradually understand something.

Strength is a person’s best network!

If you hadn't made a name for yourself, how could you have given this noble man the chance to pay attention?

In particular, Zhou Wei, as a veteran in the consulting and management industry, gave quite pertinent suggestions and opinions after having a preliminary understanding of his own Emperor Penguins.

On Saturday, he even took time out of the weekend to teach himself a lesson carefully.

Looking at Ning Zimo, Zhou Wei tapped his temple with his index finger and said, "...In my opinion, although Mr. Ren is not young, he is a sensible person who is easy to accept new things."

"That's true, whether a person is young or not has nothing to do with age," Ning Zimo nodded. "No matter what age a person is, as long as he can remain curious and not refuse to accept new things, then he is young."

"Ha, Zimo is young, but he has seen this matter very clearly." Zhou Wei smiled and turned to Luo Shuohan and nodded, "Your boss is very clear about the regulations. He manages you group

Talented people come together to lay a good foundation for Emperor Penguins."

Luo Shuohan came here specially for this acquisition. He didn't expect that the acquisition would fail, but he had the opportunity to contact the master. Naturally, he calmed down and listened attentively.

"In front of our seniors, we small fish and shrimps are not considered talents." Luo Shuohan nodded.

"Shuo Han doesn't need to belittle himself. Being able to lead a large group of people on his own at PwC is a reflection of his strength." Zhou Wei affirmed, "After IBM acquired PwC's consulting department in 2002, I

I have had some contact with your former colleagues, and they highly respect you as a new junior."

Turning to look at Ning Zimo, Zhou Wei smiled and said, "It's just that Zimo has a sharp eye, and he doesn't know why he poached you to their company."

Luo Shuohan in his previous life was also a proven master. Just like why large companies recruit mainly 985,211, it is not to reduce the cost of trial and error in talents. The same is true for Ning Zimo when he found Luo Shuohan.

But of course these things cannot be taken out and talked about.

While smiling, Zhou Wei gently tapped the monitor of his laptop and said, "The person who built this management framework for you is also someone who has worked solidly in a consulting management company for several years. So,

Your Emperor Penguin’s basic management framework is much more advanced than most flower farming companies.”

The first version of the management framework of Emperor Penguin was constructed by Ning Zimo and Li Ying based on the experience of his previous life.

With the help of Li Ying’s experience at McKinsey, Emperor Penguin’s early management framework was indeed much ahead of the curve.

However, Ning Zimo also knows that as the pace of society further accelerates, the management framework of Emperor Penguin still needs to be upgraded. Therefore, Zhou Wei, an industry insider, and the rich experience of his company IBM are the next step.

A place to refresh your mind.

"The structure of Emperor Penguin will become larger and larger, and it will also move towards group industries. Now it is ERP software, trade, games, culture and other industries. In the future, there will be other industries such as hardware development that need to be expanded." Ning Zi smiled silently.

He said, "I'm sure Huaweihua's 2 billion is well worth it, so we Emperor Penguin are also willing to provide the same consulting services to IBM."

Zhou Wei suddenly laughed, "It's only been a few days, and Zimo didn't think much about it?"

"Except for Skype, Emperor Penguin has not achieved any results yet, but its organizational structure is gradually expanding. Especially after we confirmed the 60-acre Cambrian Industrial Park last year, our personnel and projects will face rapid expansion.

In 2004, there were nearly 5,000 people in Emperor Penguin. By 2007, the number of staff will definitely increase 6-8 times, and the number of collaborative enterprises will also increase day by day. Therefore, we cannot wait until the enterprise has developed to a relatively solid state before making preparations.

, it’s a good thing to be able to do it in advance.”

Zhou Wei looked at Ning Zimo. Over the past few days, he had grown to appreciate this young man whom he already admired.

Ning Zimo didn't notice the color in Zhou Wei's eyes. He just stared at the "Emperor Penguin Basic Law" displayed on the screen.

After a long time, he continued, "We know that Huawei relied on IBM's consulting to successfully promote the organizational changes of IPD. It even gradually successfully implemented organizational changes such as LTC, ITR, ISC, IFS, HR management and financial management...

"

After a pause, Ning Zimo looked up and looked at Zhou Wei decisively, "Boss Ren is a pioneer. With him and Hua Wei taking the lead, our young company Emperor Penguin will never miss the opportunity to improve. This time we go back to China.

Finally, I hope Brother Zhou will send out a consulting team as soon as possible. I will keep a close eye on the implementation."

"Okay!" Zhou Wei said boldly, "We at IBM will lend a helping hand to Zimo!"

Dong Dong Dong,

The knock on the door happened to occur at this moment. Zhou Wei responded and saw his secretary appear at the door of the reception room with several oriental faces.

Zhou Wei stood up with Ning Zimo and walked towards the group of people.

The person who takes the lead is officially the one Zhou Wei wants to introduce.

"Zimo, this is Mr. Soichi Yokota, whom Mr. Naito Zaimasa focused on training."

…

The upgrading and transformation of the Emperor Penguin management system will naturally have some new arrangements after returning to China, and the most important thing at the moment is to win over Yokota Soichi introduced by Zhou Wei!

Regarding this point, Ning Zimo has already made some calculations in the past few days.

After briefly getting to know Yokota Soichi and others, Ning Zimo directly ignored the other party's poor English and directly brought the topic to the main purpose of meeting them.

“The reason why I wanted to acquire Yamato Labs, which founded ThinkPad, was that after acquiring Yamato Labs, I would use its experience in hardware development, ergonomics, and hardware integration to develop smart devices.

development direction.”

Because there is no trace of future smart hardware at present, just like a country's basic industry, it must take a steady and steady path in order to embark on a more advanced innovation path based on those solid foundations.

Just like Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo and other brands in the previous life, the reason why they can develop so fast is because they can purchase various software and hardware from the world's factories for assembly. But this method of purchasing and assembly is not suitable for Emperor Penguin.

There is no reference at all.

What they do is go from 1 to 100,

And the emperor penguin has to go from 0 to 1,

This is the most essential difference.

so,

"The main purpose of Emperor Penguin in founding [Quaternary Laboratory] is not to make a notebook that surpasses ThinkPad," Ning Zimo told Soichi Yokota in English, "because it is restricted by the x86 framework and wants to be able to compete between PC and

It is actually difficult to make products that surpass them within the framework of notebooks.

Therefore, I defined a type of hardware product called a smart device. Among the smart devices I defined, it must be a truly epoch-making product. I think it must have the most novel ways of using it, and it must also be equipped with a brand new

Under the system, new hardware support is needed..."

The application for registration of [Dharma Academy] was rejected, so [Episode 4 Laboratory] came into being.

In addition, Zhou Wei's appearance also brought some new thinking to Ning Zimo. This thinking mainly lies in the relatively safe limit of how much established information from the future world he needs to reveal to outsiders.

Ning Zimo has thought enough about this in recent days and got a brand new answer. The source of this answer all comes from the development of arm company.

In the previous life, in 2010, smartphones had been on the market for several years. At that time, Apple finally thought of acquiring ARM again. Before that, because the development of ARM did not meet Apple's expectations, Apple was forced to sell the shares it originally held.

ARM shares were sold and shifted to the research and development of iPod.

It was Apple's changes in attitude towards ARM that made Ning Zimo finally figure out his own implementation standards for "future" information.

After all, it is still 2005, and not many people know how smart devices will develop in the future. Except for themselves, no one knows how important smartphones and tablets will play in people's future lives.

In other words, even if you reveal your plan to the world, most people will think it is a dream. Even if a few elites think it is a good development direction, they still need to have sufficient ability and funds.

Support the development in that direction step by step.

Those facts that have been verified by oneself are still in the eyes of others, and cannot be said to be leaked.

In this case, Ning Zimo felt that he shouldn't worry too much.

Those ideals that were revealed to Andy Rubin can naturally be taken out and sold again.

"iPhone and iPad are the two representatives of future smart hardware in my eyes. To a certain extent, they may replace existing mobile phones and notebooks and become people's daily necessities..."

Yokota Soichi had never heard anyone have such wild ideas about the future. If the person who introduced him hadn't been the president of IBM Greater China, he would have thought that the young man in front of him must be a lunatic.

But after carefully chewing on the words of the young man who almost acquired Yamato Laboratories, he didn't think that the other person would be the kind of person who spent hundreds of millions of dollars on research and development just to gain an uncertain future.

Yokota Soichi had been planning for a long time, and when Ning Zimo gave him a chance to speak, he said curiously, "Ning Jun, the future you described may have to subvert our previous experience to be realized."

Ning Zi smiled silently at Yokota Satoshi's surprised look, and said calmly, "'The best way to predict the future is to create it.' This is a famous saying of the genius master Alan Kay, who was the earliest idea for laptop computers.

author and the original experimenter of modern Windows GUI."

"I heard Brother Zhou tell your story. Don't you also want to innovate? I have an infinite opportunity in front of you." Ning Zimo shook the coffee in the cup and drank it in one gulp.

Putting down the cup, he said, "There are many things that have never been done before. How will you know if you don't try them?"

/*Don’t talk about how you can use Neon Chinese. After all, [Fourth Age Laboratory] is not only composed of Soichi Yokota, but also Arm, Andy Rubin, and Zhang Lihua and other original members.

, and Spark. All everyone needs to do is perform their duties.*/
