My Age of Investment

  Chapter 593 Respect the teacher and respect the way (seeking a monthly pass)

   "Ari has a lot of problems too!"

  Xia Jingxing glanced at Ma Yun with a stiff face, and continued: “For example, the organizational structure is too hierarchical and bloated, and the efficiency of information transmission and decision-making execution will be attenuated layer by layer.

  I think that if the hierarchy system has no additional marginal contribution in the entire economic value creation chain, or the marginal cost is far greater than the marginal contribution, such a hierarchy should be cancelled. "

  Ma Yun frowned, squeezed his chin, and began to seriously think about the content of Xia Jing's jargon.

  “Of course, Ahri’s problem is not an isolated case. Almost all companies in the third stage of growth have such problems.

  These companies are in financing rounds such as B, C, and D, and have achieved great success in their business.

  But as the business became larger and larger, business lines began to be divided.

  Too many people and too fast growth are actually not a good thing for companies. "

  Xia Jingxing said with heart and soul: "If there are less than 50 people and less than 100 people, this is actually the most viable period for an organization.

  After this, the cost of division of labor, communication, and collaboration began to become geometrically complicated.

  Many well-known game studios abroad have only 50-100 people.

  You can see that they go to get off work and off work at random, play games at work, on a whim, and even hold parties directly at the company...

  There is no such thing as management at all, and governance by doing nothing.

The reason why    doesn’t crash, even makes explosive games repeatedly.

It does not mean how advanced their management system is, nor how high the quality of their employees, but their size, number of people, and a creative industry. They need to do that, so that there is nothing to communicate with each other. obstacle.

  A good working atmosphere gives employees more opportunities for collision of ideas.

  If the number of employees in the company reaches 500 or more, let them try that, and let them play in minutes. "

  Speaking of this, Xia Jingxing smiled, "Everyone should have heard of Scape?"

  Ma Yun, Zhou Hongyi, Li Xiang, Wang Wei and other Internet entrepreneurs all nodded, while Yuan Fugen, Wang Wenjian, Zhou Qunfei and other industrialists showed their doubts.

  Xia Jingxing gave a brief introduction to Scape. After hearing that the company had only been established for two or three years and sold it to Yibei at a sky-high price of US$2.6 billion, the industrialist was not calm at all.

   "Scape is not large, with only one or two hundred people, and their management work is a mess.

  Located in the headquarters in Luxembourg, entering the lobby is an inflatable swimming pool, filled with a few tons of water, like a children’s water park, employees can go in the bubble bath and have a water gun party when they are fine..."

  This is the first time I have heard that the students, including Ma Yun, have listened to God and stared at Xia Jingxing's storytelling.

  "Management is an art, and each stage of an enterprise requires a different management model.

  To tell you so much, I also hope that everyone has a clear understanding of the stage of their respective companies. "

  Everyone nodded. They really learned it. It turns out that there is so much attention.

  Especially Li Xiang and Dai Zhikang, feel that they are full of various methodologies now, and they can't wait to rush back to the company immediately and start drastic rectification.

  The two of them, one is a high school entrepreneurship, the other is a university entrepreneurship. They have never worked in a large company, and both are their first entrepreneurs.

  Luck accounted for a considerable factor in being able to get to this step.

   Just now, Xia Jingxing's words that told them to "correctly understand and analyze themselves" fell into their ears, as if they were deaf.

  Li Xiang felt that he was able to build the company by hard work, coupled with some cleverness, and the operation and finances were messed up.

  Dai Zhikang’s perception is similar to that of Li Xiang, he thinks he can use Discuz! When this community forum software is implemented, its own technical strength accounts for a large proportion of factors, while other aspects are not well done, or it is called all shortcomings.

   "So Mr. Xia..."

  Seeing Xia Jingxing frowned slightly, Ma Yun looked at his overly young face, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, bit the bullet and changed his mouth: "Teacher Xia, how do you think Ari should solve the problem of too many levels of organization?

  I also reflected on it just now, and I think what you said makes sense.

  Ari currently has too many levels, salesperson, sales team leader, sales manager, senior manager, sales vice president, sales director, from M1 to M10, a full ten levels. "

  Xia Jingxing looked at Ma Yun, a good student, and the more she looked, the more pleasing she became.

  Yes, if you say "Teacher Xia" to the other party, let's teach him two hands!

  After all, a student who respects the teacher and respects the morals will not have bad luck.

  It happened to be witnessed by more than 20 people today. He preached to Ma Yun once, and the name of the master and apprentice was completely confirmed.

  Facing Ma Yun's curiosity gaze, Xia Jingxing single-handed on his hips, and the other hand smashed into the void.

   "Cut off directly?"

  Ma Yun looked stunned and a little lost his voice.

"of course not."

  Xia Jingxing waved his hand gently, “Cut it off directly, and if the pan is not exploded underneath, it’s easy to mess around.”

  Ma Yun nodded and listened patiently.

  Other entrepreneurs and students also listened carefully.

  Although Ari’s matter has little to do with them, it is very beneficial to listen more.

  After visiting Ahri, who doesn’t have an Internet empire dream in his mind?

  Including Zhou Hongyi, the Internet entrepreneurs present all have the idea of ​​making the company bigger and stronger. The problems that Ari is facing today, it is very likely that they will also encounter it in the future.

   "Ari's employee sequence level needs to be optimized again. The M sequence is directly cut in half and all transferred to management posts."

  Xia Jingxing looked at Ma Yun and smiled faintly: “Aren’t you M10 before? Now it’s adjusted to M6 or even M5.

  Another P staff rank sequence is established. As a technical post sequence, you can set P1 to P10. If it is not enough, add it later.

  Some employees want to be officials purely for salary and benefits.

  For these people, you can arrange to go to the P sequence, so that wages and stocks are more inclined to them.

  Leave those who are suitable for management in the M sequence, and at the same time carry out management-level slimming.

  No matter how high the level of professional job evaluation is, these technical experts will at most bring a technical project team, and will not poke any big baskets out. "

  Ma Yun's eyes lit up, and he said with joy: "This is a good method, which means spending money to keep these technical experts behind, without causing brain drain.

  At the same time, it also made the management team lose weight, reduced the hierarchy, and improved the efficiency.

  The most important thing is to make room for someone who is really suitable for management to sit on it. "

  The more he thought about it, the more he felt happy, and he thanked him from the bottom of his heart: “Mr. Xia, you have helped me a lot. Don’t you know, I’ve been troubled by this problem for a long time, and haven’t found a suitable solution.”

  This is purely Ma Yun added a drama to himself, deliberately showing a gesture of gratitude.

   However, it is true that Ahri’s current management level is chaotic. There is only one M sequence, which is not subdivided enough.

  "This is actually the management sequence of Facebook. The number of employees in the company has just exceeded one hundred, and I designed this set of classification schemes."

  Xia Jingxing's understatement, gave Ma Yun a crit.

  As soon as the number of employees exceeded one hundred, such a long-term plan was taken into consideration.

  In contrast, the number of Ari employees is already several thousand.

  Even if the skin is as thick as Jack Ma, I feel a little embarrassed!

  When the Vision Capital announced the establishment of the Vision Academy at the annual meeting of Vision Capital, he still didn't care about it. He felt that it was training knowledge for low-rank entrepreneurs.

  In the same currency, Ari may not have a lower valuation than Facebook. He believes that he is on the same level as Xia Jingxing.

  But today’s class has crushed his poor sense of superiority.

  Other students, such as Li Xiang, Xunlei Zhou Zhaolong, Gao De Chen Congwu, etc., turned their admiring eyes on Xia Jingxing.

  Just now they thought that the training knowledge points of today’s class were copied from Xia Jingxing.

  Unexpectedly, it turned out to be from Facebook’s trading experience.

  Think about it, Xia Jingxing can succeed in starting a business at a young age. How can ordinary people compare.

  The number of Facebook employees has only exceeded one hundred, and a top-level management plan that can be applied to 10,000 employees has been designed.

  Be far-sighted, you must be far-sighted.

  Ma Yun asked: "Then Teacher Xia, are there any fourth-stage enterprises?"

  "Of course, that kind of enterprise is characterized by a successful IPO, a diversified business, and an organizational model of business groups and divisions.

  General listed companies can be directly classified as the third stage, and the fourth stage must be a company that is listed and has the appearance of a giant and can become an empire. "

  Ma Yun chewed on the word "empire" repeatedly, a small flame was faintly burning in his eyes.

   Then he asked Xia Jingxing: "Which companies are currently in the fourth stage?"

   "Take the Internet industry, Amazon and Google!"

  Ma Yun's eyes lit up after hearing that, Amazon has the posture of becoming an emperor, so naturally they have Ari.

   "Okay, today's course will end here, I will assign homework, everyone will sort out the company's organizational structure, and then make an adjustment plan and submit it."

  Xia Jingxing looked at Ma Yun and said, "Lao Ma, you, as a class representative, help accept the assignments submitted by each student."

   "Everyone is earnestly completing the homework. In class next month, we will evaluate and select several plans, and everyone will participate in the discussion and analysis."

  The students under the stage are chattering, do you still have homework?

  Xia Jingxing looked at someone with doubts, and answered questions: “We are different from those business schools that have the same family, and we focus on actual combat.

  Discussing other companies will help improve your horizons and learn useful knowledge from other companies.

   Collecting the strengths of a hundred families and making up for the shortcomings of oneself, that’s what it means. "

  Ma Yun's eyes flickered. He had made up his mind and would not come to class next month.

  But now, good guy, all the official hats are sent to him.

  Moreover, this entrepreneurial training camp feels that I can learn a lot.

  Xia Jingxing began to clean up the lesson plans on the table, and the students got up one after another, preparing to leave.

   "Lao Zhou, wait a minute."

  Xia Jingxing suddenly stopped Zhou Hongyi.

   Paddling in the class, the red cannon, who had no interaction during the whole process, stopped, turned to look at Xia Jingxing, and asked: "Ms. Xia, what's the matter?"

   President Xia?

  Xia Jingxing took a small book in his heart and wrote it down to Zhou Hongyi. Jack Ma, the big disciple, has been subdued, and both the long teacher and the short teacher have been called, and the two apprentices have to make arrangements quickly.

  So he temporarily changed his mind: "Next month, Qihoo will become the second star company to visit. You can arrange it."

"Forehead……"

Zhou Hongyi hesitated for a while and wanted to decline, but looking at Ma Yun's slightly sarcasm smile, he nodded like a ghost, "Okay, I will arrange it."

  Xia Jingxing is now too lazy to resolve the grievances between the two.

  Use one sentence to describe his mood at this time: destroy it, hurry up, tired!
