Chapter 475 Simplifying complex problems
This meditation lasted until the start of school.
Li Yan quite cherishes the concept of "school starts".
Apart from being a teacher and a student, when I was working as a migrant worker and had no children, September only meant “it’s not cool yet”.
Presumably, by the time this nominal sophomore year of high school is over, Li Yan's serious student career will be over.
Where can any teacher be better than a team of academicians?
Which university's collection of materials is better than the reference room of the Chinese Academy of Sciences?
Of course, the core problem is that no one dares to be Teacher Li Yan.
Even the big guys at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have expressed the idea of "communication". How many university professors dare to be Teacher Li Yan?
Professor Meng’s tragic experience is still vivid in my mind.
In fact, Li Yan has long lost the consciousness of being a student. He has so many identities stacked up on him that he can really remember them. I'm afraid he will have a schizophrenia on the spot.
If it weren't for Wei Yunzhi's reminder, Li Yan wouldn't have known that it was the beginning of school again.
On the afternoon of August 28, Li Yan was immersed in a sea of books when her phone suddenly vibrated.
He has set reminders for various messages. There is only one message that can cause the phone to vibrate at a low frequency during immersive reading - Wei Yunzhi's WeChat message.
"School has started, classmate Li Yan!"
"I would have forgotten it without you reminding me."
"It seems that I can't see Boss Li in school anymore."
"I will go, and you can see me outside the school."
"Didn't it bother you?"
"No."
"Have you been reading books this summer?"
"You can basically forget it and handle some company affairs."
"I don't even dare to disturb you."
"If you are looking for me, I will reply."
"Then when can we meet?"
"Then let me go to the opening ceremony." Li Yan typed with a smile, "School Lu asked me to speak on stage, but I originally refused."
"What are you going to talk about?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, just play with it."
"Yes, if you say anything now, everyone will scream."
"Can you?"
"I screamed the loudest!"
"Then just wait."
Something doesn’t seem right...
Li Yan found himself looking at his phone and giggling. He shook his head and instantly switched from a young boy with a pig head to a wealthy boss.
In the past half month, the turnover of Future Technology has been rising, and the various businesses of the Super Life Circle are expanding and advancing in an orderly manner. From the outside world, it looks awesome and promising no matter how it looks.
Naturally, there are many people who praise Li Yan. In the past half month, Li Yan personally refused more than a dozen interviews. This was a heavyweight invitation that came to him after overcoming many obstacles.
You can imagine how much Wang Zi had to refuse.
The company is thriving, but there are indeed many internal problems.
Even though Li Yan has been sitting in the office for the past half month, the chaotic sounds below have never stopped.
Fortunately, his parents were racking their brains to figure out how to decorate a villa as big as Rainbow Garden, and they seemed busier than him.
For the time being he can concentrate on the office...
study.
Li Yan is sitting in the office, but he has actually done almost nothing in the management of the company in the past half month, which is rare and has given his subordinates a relatively high degree of freedom.
He knows that the management has many ideas on the development direction of Super Life Circle.
Different from the period of mobile phone system research and development, software and hardware research and development, how to develop software is not a hard technical issue.
When the system was being developed, the result was awesome. Li Yan could do it, but others couldn't.
So everyone listened to him and obeyed him.
Now it is no longer a technical issue, it has become a discussion class.
What everyone says makes sense. Even if one party has data to prove it, the other party can respond with "what if".
Then you will fall into the state of looking at the "starting point", and then all kinds of politically correct statements will come out.
Anyway, they are all for the company, the conservatives who want long-term development, the capitalists who should make all their profits, the radicals who want to monopolize everything, everyone can tell something.
Li Yanguang knew just how intense the discussions were by looking at the number of management meetings, inter-department meetings, and even intra-department meetings.
But none of these heated discussions reached his ears.
If he hadn't had his own intelligence system, he would probably have thought that everyone had been following the direction he had set before.
It seems that the management also knows that these are all useless discussions without any decent results.
Zhao Tianya's influence is growing...perhaps he was already very influential, but now Li Yan has finally set his sights on him.
This Zhao Tianya has thick eyebrows and a square face. He looks like a loyal minister no matter how you look at him. He usually has no sense of presence. He also thinks that he is incompetent. I didn’t expect it...
When he and Zhang He and Wang Li admitted their mistakes together, his reporting performance was a mess, but he admitted his mistakes straightforwardly, and Li Yan was also given face.
After Zhang He and Wang Li were marginalized and received the dividends they deserved as a start-up team, they were basically in a state of ruin.
Judging from the information conveyed below, these two brothers should take the initiative to resign soon.
After all, it is quite uncomfortable to see the others who were once my brothers and sisters making all the changes and being respected by so many people, while I am just a small middle-level leader. The people under me know that they are the founders, and they understand but are confused to avoid embarrassment.
Li Yan thought Zhao Tianya was in the same state, but he didn't expect that he would become an opinion leader.
Everyone is a very complex individual. Li Yan does not think that they will naturally form a whole in the future technological environment. Where there are pros and cons, there will naturally be pros and cons.
The positive and negative sides can be expressed in a group or in an individual.
Today's future technologies are basically all in support of Li Yan. There are few different voices. The most outrageous ones are "Li Yan is not that great" or "I feel that he does not care enough about the company" and "He is definitely not relying on "Myself" is such a cliché.
But they have strong opinions on the management team formulated by Li Yan.
The label of "nepotism" has been stuck on Li Yan's head for a long time and cannot be taken off.
But everyone doesn't think this is Li Yan's problem. They have opinions on Li Yan's personnel arrangements, but they have no objections to Li Yan at all. Isn't it amazing?
In fact, the reason is very simple. The people who have the biggest opinions on personnel arrangements are those who want to be promoted. After they are promoted, they will face Li Yan's ministers.
The ultimate goal is to rise to the top, but now he shows his dissatisfaction with Li Yan?
That's exactly the opposite.
This group of ministers have different personalities and abilities, but they have one key thing in common:
Serve Li Yan.
The methods of being convinced may be different, but the end result is the same.
Even though Sun Miao has the most power here, is the strongest in terms of personal ability, and was the most easily distorted before, he is now a complete believer.
This fact of being convinced was precisely the reason why Li Yan used them. No matter what, it was difficult for Li Yan to trust others.
Trust in the workplace comes from either someone who is more capable than you or someone who has a higher status than you.
People naturally take the blame for you, and you naturally trust them.
No one will trust anyone who is weaker than themselves, nor will they trust their subordinates.
The principle is very simple, if something goes wrong, there is no hope.
The cost of trust is too high.
In terms of position, the boss of a group no longer has anyone he can trust with a "higher status", so he can only trust those who are stronger than him in a certain aspect.
But Li Yan has the strongest ability, and no one in this group can compare with him.
So what he pursues is to "save worry". This group of people should not make mistakes, just implement his arrangements and help him advance his work.
That's what he thinks, and the ministers may also think of that, but a large number of people besides him don't think that way.
In their eyes, Li Yan appointed these ministers not because of their ability, but because they were either obedient or flattering.
After all, these ministers almost never made any demands on Li Yan's work arrangements or had any objections to Li Yan's decision-making.
Look at Zhao Tianya, Zhang He and Wang Li again...
“Just because I refuted Mr. Li’s opinion at the meeting, I ended up like this.”
This can be seen from the daily gossip chat of a certain middle-level leader.
The transmission of information in a large group is very easy to be distorted.
As a manager, you must also maintain this distortion, because it can bring an absolute weapon in management-information gap.
There are many things that Li Yan knows but the ministers don't know, and there are many things that the ministers know but the subordinates don't know, so the work progresses step by step, and the people working at the bottom often cannot understand the purpose of the work at hand.
The "managers" mentioned here are not Li Yan, but these ministers and an increasing number of middle-level leaders.
Li Yan didn't care about the information gap. He wished that others could understand all his meaning instantly.
It is also possible to engage in flat management.
But it is unrealistic. Communication requires energy. So many employees are good at different things, have different abilities, and have different thinking habits. Li Yan's time is precious and he has no time to pay attention to it.
The ministers responsible for delivering information are even less likely to work hard to ensure that the information is transparent. What do they need from their management?
Isn’t the most awesome thing about the workplace “just do it”?
Hidden behind it is the meaning of "Only I know what a certain leader is communicating with me, so I am your leader."
As a result, under the fermentation of various factors, people who disliked the iron-clad "ministerial group" gradually found an organization, led by a group of careerists who "can replace them".
Their leader is Zhao Tianya.
Compared with Zhang He and Wang Li, the two people who were directly named and criticized, Zhao Tianya is much more respectable.
His status as a founding member also gave him more confidence than everyone else.
On the surface, he behaves like an old friend to several ministers, showing an air of indifference and a lot of benign self-deprecation, such as "I have to work hard to catch up with the laggards."
As a result, we gained the trust of many grassroots employees.
There were potentials on various routes who hoped to fight against the current ministers, and many of them were friends with Zhao Tianya. After several tests, they found that they were in the same camp, and a force that caused headaches for the ministers was born.
"So you ministers will always encounter resistance from conflicting opinions when advancing work, which is why there are so many meetings to be held." Li Yan read the information on Zhao Tianya's recent movements, "When you assign work, they ask why. However, there are no standard answers to these questions. You are easy to get caught, but you are embarrassed to say, "It's Mr. Li's arrangement," right? ”
Sun Miao, who came to report but was interrupted, didn't even dare to sit down. She swallowed and nodded.
"Such a simple method has broken your information gap."
Sun Miao said nothing.
"Brother Miao, sit down, sit down, why are you standing?"
The words "brother" shocked Sun Miao. He felt that his life span had expired, so he quickly pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Come on, Mr. Sun, sitting in this position, how should you deal with the current impact of Zhao Tianya?"
"Tianya is not targeting us. Different opinions are normal. We should tolerate different voices." Sun Miao said.
"Are you testing me?"
Li Yan's words put an unprecedented amount of pressure on Sun Miao. There was clearly a "?" in it, but it didn't sound like a question or rhetorical question at all.
"No, Mr. Li, I don't mean that."
"Do you really think this is normal? Different voices should be accommodated?"
This broken sentence will destroy Sun Miao's soul.
Li Yan didn't know that Sun Miao had already regarded him as a god because of some wonderful imagination, so he was a little confused about Sun Miao's pale face.
In Sun Miao's eyes, Li Yan's questioning was equivalent to divine punishment.
It sounds a bit outrageous, but Sun Miao, who is logical and self-consistent, becomes more and more convinced of her own ideas.
He felt that Li Yan was not a normal human being and that giving him a chance was a favor. If he got angry, he might do something to Sun Miao that ordinary people could not understand.
Don't think wrongly, in Sun Miao's imagination, there are things like "blocking your wisdom", "putting you into a sub-healthy state", "children born in the future will be stupid"...
Superpowers, but not many.
And he should sincerely think that Li Yan is a good person.
"Mr. Li, I'm not sincere enough. I'm actually a little annoyed. I feel that Tianya doesn't care about things, but everyone just listens to him..."
"That's right, don't be so politically correct." Li Yan shook his head, "I just want to hear the truth, not the correct words."
"Okay Mr. Li."
"But."
As soon as these two words came out, Sun Miao felt her heart in her throat again.
"I don't need to accommodate different voices. The work you are advancing is assigned by me, your position is appointed by me, and what you do represents my will."
"Understood, Mr. Li."
"Too many internal meetings are meaningless. Complex issues must be simplified. If Zhao Tianya and the group of people he represents have any opinions, please come to me."
"Okay."
Li Yan's expression became more relaxed, "Brother Miao, don't be so nervous. I'll ask you something else."
Sun Miao really relaxed a lot, "What's the matter, Mr. Li?"
Li Yan turned the phone screen to Sun Miao and asked with a smile, "The advanced version of the Super Life Circle I am using is your test product, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Li, let you experience our latest research and development and optimization."
"Using customized data?"
Sun Miao's expression froze.
"You don't need me to show you the disassembled code, right?" Li Yan still kept smiling and pointed at his computer, "You want to build me an information cocoon? Let me immerse myself in a highly customized super life circle experience. Can’t help myself? ”
Sun Miao's face turned pale.
He's flattering, but...
It seems the wrong photo was taken.
