Chapter 375: Simplifying complex problems
The writing of massive codes was carried out in a mighty manner.
With the full support of Professor Mai Wen’s team and the special team set up by Huang Zhan, the human resources available to Li Yan were immediately abundant.
Professor Mai has three project research groups and a research institute team under Academician Ni. A total of 60 people have been selected - but they are all good players, and Professor Mai acts as an intermediary manager. The combat effectiveness of a normal enterprise R&D team of 150 people is not a problem.
Huang Zhan has a hundred people here, all of whom have experience in developing win system mobile versions. Although his company is large, because he owns the production line, his research and development outlet is actually small. There are only more than 300 people. If you have a w9 production task, you can give up a hundred, which is sincerity enough.
Coupled with this wave of cooperation with Chuangzu, except for the "joint development" signature when the system was released, and the subsequent receipt of a certain proportion of the revenue from Jiaolong mobile phones, there is no real short-term benefit.
It can only be said that Huang Zhan was a big favor.
For a dedicated closed system, it doesn’t make sense to write the name of the founding family.
As for future earnings, they are all fictitious, and now that Chuangzu is in dire straits, it has actually invested a lot of money, waiting for the vague future earnings, which is purely a mud bodhisattva crossing the river.
If you really care about profits, why doesn’t Huang Zhan ask Li Yan for shares?
The board of directors was also very puzzled by this and even impeached Huang Zhan at the general meeting.
Someone asked Li Yan to give a large sum of money as a purchase of Chuangzu’s R&D services.
Some people asked to be deeply involved in the research and development of Li Yan's entire mobile phone, and then directly let Future Technology become a subsidiary of Chuangzu.
Some people asked Chuangzu to directly terminate the "meaningless cooperation" and concentrate on its own w9 project, directly crushing future technology.
Most of them are relatives of Huang Zhan.
Huang Zhan is a person who attaches great importance to control, and the negotiation with Lao Lei collapsed because of the stock issue.
As for these relatives who didn't actually understand mobile phones, they would only talk to him based on their own interests, and he was too lazy to respond.
So he simply ignored all opinions.
Huang Zhan's "willingness to have his own way" is not once or twice. It's just that he believed in himself before, but this time, he chose to believe in Li Yan.
And in fact, he is somewhat selfish - it is no longer possible to defeat the Pineapple Company by himself, but Li Yan still has this possibility.
In the past, American and American technology always took the lead. As the so-called morning stars, they were always the ones who shocked the world.
This time, let them try to learn from others.
Managing a team of two hundred people is really not an easy job.
In fact, both Mai Wen and Huang Zhan were worried about Li Yan. After all, he was not the direct person in charge of both teams, so both the efficiency of information transmission and the intensity of implementing ideas would inevitably be compromised.
As the first person in charge, Mai Wen himself led a team of 60 people to work on a project. He was exhausted every day just following up on everyone's progress and answering questions.
The division of labor is not just a matter of directly arranging what you do and what others do. It is impossible to divide the workload absolutely evenly, not to mention that there is also a speed issue between groups.
There are often situations where team A is struggling to catch up after finishing the work, while team B is struggling to catch up with the progress.
This group also requires a lot of coordination and communication. Sometimes A does A's B's and B's, and each of them has completed the task. The result is that the connection is a mess, which is equivalent to asking the third group to redo it...
Humans are not machines, so they must have some little ones of their own, some who add a lot of private goods to prove their abilities, some who want to be lazy and fish for fun, so they do it slowly, or those who work hard and don’t work at all. Manage overall progress.
Not to mention messy interpersonal relationships, it is not uncommon for conflicts among small teams or groups to lead to mistakes in key areas of the project.
Mai Wen was finally forced to gather all sixty people to work together, but he was still exhausted every day.
Later he concluded that the main reason was that he did not have enough prestige among the sixty people - because there were a group of teams under other academicians at the time, it was difficult to establish a smooth enough operating mechanism.
Many large companies have failed in their systems once they have grown in size. They are either exhausted by the one-word boss, or they are too bloated and overstaffed.
Although Li Yan is the boss of the company, there are currently only a dozen people in his company. Except for one internal affairs manager, the others do not even have serious positions. They are just a small team that relies entirely on his own abilities.
Not to mention managing two hundred people, sixty is enough.
Now there are two teams, which can be described as hell-level difficulty.
Fortunately, Mai Wen and Huang Zhan are willing to be middlemen.
On the first day of the official launch, Li Yan stunned Mai Wen and Huang Zhan with a plan.
Li Yan actually refined the division of labor to everyone.
What is this concept?
He managed such a huge workload all by himself, and divided the work according to what everyone was good at and experienced.
Management is completed in the simplest and crudest way.
"I just want results." Li Yan said to Mai Wen.
It doesn’t matter what personal influence or prestige you have, don’t talk about it.
We are all elites, so we will allocate tasks to you respectively. Once you complete them, you will achieve Li Yan's goal. If you fail to complete them, you will probably get a hard time on your face.
Li Yan doesn't care or care about how to communicate internally and how to learn from each other.
Mai Wen was very surprised. Only then did he realize that one of his worries was missing - perhaps the main reason for the difficulty in division of labor was that few people could single-handedly sort out all the work required for the entire project.
And Li Yan did it, saying that he simplified difficult projects, but his approach itself was unparalleled.
"How... did you do it?" Mai Wen flipped through the plan. He could not imagine what a terrifying workload it was to organize those time points and work content.
“It’s really not easy, it took me several nights.”
Mai Wen was used to Li Yan's casual pretense, but he felt that it was unrealistic to have such a detailed division of labor in just a few nights.
So Professor Mai opened the plan in front of Li Yan and read it carefully. The more he read, the more frightened he became.
He carefully studied the content that he was good at, and found that Li Yan also controlled the workload very well.
How many people create a certain piece of content and how much time do they take into account?
It will not be too easy, which will make these experts feel like they are killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, but it will not be too difficult, causing them to feel unhappy.
It just happens to be stuck on the line of "it needs to be taken seriously but it must be done".
And there are many things in this plan that Mai Wen cannot understand at all...
"Have you allocated the workload and time?"
"Yes, this saves trouble." Li Yan said, "And I also need to pursue efficiency."
"...Do you understand the entire system's research and development process?" Mai Wen even didn't know for a while. Know what to ask.
"Yes."
"Then you can get this system out by yourself?" Mai Wen's expression was a little out of control. He knew that Li Yan was powerful, but how could he become more and more powerful.
“If I had enough time,” Li Yan shrugged, “Unfortunately, I don’t have it, so I have to use everyone’s hands.”
Are these elite co-authors just your coding machines? "It's amazing." Mai Wen just sighed.
"Professor Mai, the specific work arrangements may cause you to follow up."
"No problem, but I have a question," Mai Wen shook the plan in his hand, "Even if If everyone can submit the results according to your plan, what are you going to do about the integration? Have you written a plan? "
"Then there is no need to write it, it will be in vain." Li Yan shrugged again, "That's it. It is meaningless to write 'cooperation' on something that requires cooperation."
Maiwen smiled, raised his head slightly, and showed his superior jawline, "This job may be more complicated than the previous one. Difficult. If you don’t think of a solution at the beginning, a lot of rework is expected.”
“Yes, so I have already thought of a solution.”
"Oh?"
"I'll do it."
......?
Mai Wen retracted his superior jawline again, "Are you going to handle it alone?"
"Well, it's not like we have to wait for everyone to hand over." Li Yan said with a smile, " If I follow the plan, they will make a puzzle for me, and I can put it together at any time.”
Mai Wen couldn't even imagine how much work this would be.
"I know very well what I want, Professor Mai." Seeing that Mai Wen remained confused throughout the process, Li Yan explained sincerely, "I know very well what can be cut off and not done, and what must meet the requirements. Once the ideas and goals are clear, some things are not as difficult as you think.”
“This is indeed true”
“Especially in many projects without reference experience. My time was wasted on 'trying'. But on my side, I was always 'realizing'."
When Li Yan left, Mai Wen actually felt relaxed.
When talking to this child now, there is always something beyond his cognition, which makes him feel even more tired.
He explained the situation to Academician Ni and tried to remain objective during the process, but after he finished speaking, he always felt that he was bragging about Li Yan.
Academician Ni understood some details, then pondered for a long time, and then said with emotion:
"As far as I have been working for decades, China has never lacked senior technical talents, and there are also some with outstanding management capabilities. , it is the lack of talent that combines the two, so it is difficult to make progress in system engineering, just like several Lianxiang projects in the past, the outcome will only be failure.
"What is commendable is that Li Yan is in the position of a manager, but at the same time he has a very strong technical level and is actually a genius with outstanding abilities... This natural chasm in system engineering has directly become a big river. Let's look at him. Cross the bridge and watch the roar of the river. ”
The old man was also emotionally moved. Only he knew the bitterness of these decades. He originally thought that a domestic operating system was far away, but he didn't expect that hope would be concentrated on a minor genius.
“This is the meaning of genius, Mai Wen.”
Mai Wen nodded silently.
Needless to say, Huang Zhan's support must be full support. Boss Huang is not surprised by the miraculous things that Li Yan can do.
His concerns were different from Mai Wen's: "I heard that you are planning to complete the Hetu system before New Year's Day?"
"That's right."
"No... In your plan, it will only take you until late November to complete the complete coding of the kernel. You also need to integrate it, which will take less than a month. Can we create a system?"
"We still have to look at the situation and try our best."
Huang Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, "I feel relieved. I thought you were determined. Well, so it’s really just a moment to urge everyone to move?”
“Absolutely.”
What Li Yan is looking at is whether he can still break through the 70% threshold. If he can get new improvements in the subsequent code integration work and further upgrade his capabilities, then it is not impossible.
At the same time, Future Technology also exploded over this plan.
“Let me just say, Mr. Li is in control of everything. I think he already has all the details of the entire mobile phone in his mind. It’s just that it takes too much time to do it by himself, so he hired us as workers.”< br>
Shang Jie has become a loyal fan of Li Yan.
Sun Miao subconsciously wanted to refute, but she really couldn't refute it at all.
Of course they knew the value of this plan. How could they write it without "controlling everything" as Shang Jie said.
But this also weakens their sense of existence as a "project manager".
From the project team leader who coordinated everything, he became the team leader responsible for collecting homework in the classroom.
"Shang Gong is right. I always felt that he had already thought about how to make all the software, but he just gave it to me when he didn't have time to do it." Liu Liwei nodded.
"A strange person..." Sun Miao sighed and shook his head, "Is following such a boss a good thing or a bad thing for us?"
"Of course it's a good thing!" Liu Liwei said loudly, "With such a great boss, as long as we follow our lead, we can hope to create history. Is there any better opportunity than this?"
"... "Sun Miao pursed her lips.
"Foreman Sun has his own pursuits," Cao Haibin was studying the work content of his management, and suddenly said, "It's like that, the sourness of literati."
" What kind of literati..." Sun Miao rolled her eyes.
“The opportunity to create history and change the world is right in front of you. To worry about self-realization at this time is actually a sign of being brainless.” Cao Haibin’s mouth was unforgiving.
Sun Miao didn't speak, but silently read the plan.
The work officially started like this. Li Yan did not stipulate everyone's working posture. Cao Haibin, who liked to argue, went directly to Chuangzu Company - at this time, he did not say anything to Huang Zhan couldn't deal with it anymore, and the reason was that "it's nice to be able to manage Huang Zhan's employees"; and Shang Jie preferred to communicate with everyone in the project team online, although basically no one responded to the messages he sent - funny But this does not affect the progress of their research and development at all.
The leader of the homework collection team only needs to be responsible for collecting the homework.
Sun Miao is a hard worker. She went to the Maiwen team to learn and manage, and also personally participated in code writing. Gradually, there is a tendency to become one.
Everyone is working in full swing, Li Yan said that I am very relieved.
Then he ran to class.
Sun Miao was about to report on her work, but was told by Wang Zi that Li Yan had gone to class. Suddenly, she was really powerless and had nothing to do.
"No, Sister Wang, is the boss too willful? At this juncture, what kind of class should I take?"
Wang Zi recalled the reason Li Yan told her, He replied:
“Students learn as a matter of course.”
"...That's true, but these are really extraordinary times. We..."
"It's useless for him to wait until the results come out."
Sun Miao held back. For a long time, I could only sigh: "There is really nothing we can do about him."
