Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1942 Questioning Authority
Boss Ma smiled and said, "Facts have proved that it is feasible."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "When we run a business, we need to rely on the system to manage it, not rely on some blue sky master."

Boss Ma disagrees with this point of view, "Of course the system is important, but people are also very important. At the level of execution and leadership, we still have to rely on people."

Zhou Buqi took a step back and said, "Now Kazuo Inamori is the president of Japan Airlines. He has great personal charm and can influence every employee. But don't forget, he is already 78 years old! How many years can he work for?"

Boss Ma fell silent.

Zhou Buqi said: "No one can keep their mental state tense for a long time. It is good that Kazuo Inamori is in office now. He can keep giving speeches internally, and keep giving the employees blood, making them excited. Go work hard. What about after he leaves?"

Boss Ma half-jokingly said: "The next president will continue his style, and continue to fight chicken blood."

"This is mind control, boss!"

"Not that serious."

"Okay, even if Kazuo Inamori finds a suitable successor, the next president can continue to fight, but how many employees can persist? The spirit is highly tense, the working state is highly concentrated, all struggle, and constantly call for dedication... …Once the tension is so tight that the strings snap, JAL will still go bankrupt.”

Moreover, it has great reproducibility!
Whether it is Starbucks, Dell, and HP abroad, or Li Ning, Lenovo, and Focus in China, they have all come out of the economic crisis by relying on the operation of such professional managers.

I think this kid surnamed Zhou is really amazing, amazing!It is no exaggeration to say that he is a veritable world-class entrepreneur!

Boss Ma wants to learn and improve Kazuo Inamori's ideas, to integrate tradition with modernity, and to have a fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, so he is prone to serious split emotions.

Even if someone learns it well, there may not be an environment where it can be applied.

Big companies can use it, small companies can use it, anyone can use it.And the whole world is applying this set of models, which means that there are too many professional managers with similar rich experience who can skillfully apply this set of models to deal with crises.

Zhou Buqi didn't think so, "You're right, MBA graduates do have many similar occupational diseases, but don't forget that the emergence of the MBA industry has cultivated too many business management talents for the world. Talent. Who is Ali at the helm now? Didn’t Wei Zhe have an MBA?”

In the domestic business community, it is basically chaotic, without any traditional factors.In traditional culture, it is "no business without evil", "merchants value profits over righteousness", "scholars, farmers, businessmen", and merchants have the lowest status. All words describing merchants have a negative color, and no one likes to apply tradition.

Even this set is difficult to implement in China.

From the current point of view, Kazuo Inamori's method is indeed much stronger than the MBA's formula process method.For example, Lufthansa in Germany does not seem to be as fast and exciting as the recovery of Japan Airlines.

You are shaking other people's way.

Zhou Buqi said: "So in my opinion, Kazuo Inamori's method is just an expedient measure with a strong personal touch. If he is 20 years younger, then there will be no problems, he has enough energy It is time to adjust JAL at the strategic, institutional and business levels. Age is a barrier that he cannot overcome. He led JAL to turn around. This is very powerful, but it is not worth following. His model is at most...you said Let’s spread it in the Shenghe School, which is the entrepreneurial training institute he founded. It is difficult to enter the mainstream MBA curriculum.”

Kazuo Inamori's method is different. It comes from a very old metaphysical management model, which is incompatible with the mainstream business society, and it is difficult for others to learn it.

You know, the two of them are discussing Kazuo Inamori at this time!
He is the "God of Management" in the business world!
The case where he saved Japan Airlines is absolutely amazing. It costs less money, takes less time, and has quick results, just like magic.

"Hmm." Boss Ma's voice was a bit dignified, "There is indeed such a risk."

Use Kazuo Inamori's method to brainwash the employees of Silicon Valley, encourage them to make selfless dedication, to have a spirit of sacrifice, to serve the company and the country...you will definitely be sprayed in the face by those foreigners.

Obviously, he is not the kind of aloof and conceited character.

On the other end of the phone, Boss Ma was silent.

Boss Ma obviously has a deep understanding of this matter.

Two roads, the future is unknown.

Boss Ma said angrily, "I fired him half a year ago!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Buqi looked at this matter from another angle. He even questioned the brilliance of this miracle... Either he was arrogant beyond bounds, or he really had his own right. A unique understanding of business.

Zhou Buqi said: "From the long-term consideration of enterprise development, we still have to find problems at the strategic, business, and institutional levels. The solutions to corporate crises provided by the MBA are the best solutions to such crises in the past 100 years. , is the crystallization of wisdom summed up by countless business people and economists, and it is widely used all over the world. Don’t you feel that Kazuo Inamori’s method is derailed from the mainstream of the world? This is against the trend and against human nature, and it is completely It is contrary to the life attitude of young people in modern society."

Zhou Buqi said: "Kazuo Inamori saved Japan Airlines, which is great. But in my opinion, he is taking a trick, taking the route of mind control. How long can this last? This is a tricky way to bypass many difficulties. The business difficulties solved can only solve the temporary needs, but not the long-term solution.”

Almost everyone will give up thinking and sink into it.

That is to say, the practice soil of this kind of ancient metaphysics exists in Japan's seemingly open society, but in fact, the traditional culture is deeply rooted.

To be honest, Boss Ma was shocked.

Basically, each has its own reasons.

At the same time, there is also sincere respect.

Boss Ma said: "Yes, the MBA has explained 99% of the business, but don't forget, you can learn an MBA, I can learn an MBA, he can learn an MBA, and everyone can learn an MBA. Popularization , means mediocrity. If you want to be a great company, you still need to rely on the 1% to be different.”

Feel the legend of this case, and feel the greatness of Kazuo Inamori.Even if he is brainwashing the employees and has a certain color of mind control, so what?He really did, and the effect is unprecedented!

Regardless of whether his point of view is right or wrong, just saying that he dared to question authority and deny Kazuo Inamori's behavior from other angles is enough to show his unique way of thinking.

However, Zhou Buqi doesn't know the future.

In Japan, he can pursue whatever he wants, and no one cares about him. It doesn't matter if he runs for the Prime Minister of Japan after he attains enlightenment.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "You are right."

"MBA?" Boss Ma was a little amused, "Don't be brainwashed by those people who come back from studying abroad, those professional managers in suits and ties who talk about knowledge from books every day and use PowerPoint to solve business problems."

Ask yourself, even Boss Ma himself fell into it.

It won't work in China.

If you want to be a great company, the most important thing is not to follow the trend.

Zhou Buqi said earnestly: "The business world has developed rapidly in the past 100 years, and a complete set of business systems has been formed. MBA is the crystallization of the wisdom of the past [-] years in preaching and teaching. impetus to the business community."

Although the MBA set has many problems, it is undeniable that it is the crystallization of the greatest business operation wisdom in the century since the development of human business society.

But the risk is small and can be replicated.

Slow to bear fruit.

What's more, what Kazuo Inamori pursues is the ultimate business way.

Boss Ma is actually a very proud person. Although Zhou Buqi's career has developed very well in the past few years, he has never felt that this guy is better than himself.

In front of such a miracle, the vast majority of people can only worship, and no one dares to question it.

"The spiritual concept of Kazuo Inamori is the 1% that JAL needs to revive. If we deal with the crisis of JAL according to the MBA method, even if it can be saved, it will not be so fast."

Boss Ma wants to pursue the ultimate business in China, what do you want to do?

Six months ago, something happened to Ali, which led to a credit crisis in the company, and Boss Ma was furious.Someone needs to take the blame, and the second-in-command behind him took the blame and stepped down.

Basically, they all use the same routine, which is a formula that MBA has extracted long ago.

The avenues are against each other.

Ali's future will not be worse than Ziweixing.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but have some other thoughts deep in his heart. He felt that this kid seemed to be better than himself, and his thinking structure was too novel.And he is also very courageous, daring to deny Kazuo Inamori... Coincidentally, courage is also an essential element for making a great enterprise.

Zhou Buqi said: "As I said, Japanese Go is the epitome of Japanese economy and Japanese companies. In the 80s, Japanese Go was the number one in the world, the Japanese economy dominated the world, and Japanese companies were invincible. Now, Go and the economy are not good. Why? ?In my opinion, it is the rejection of modern pragmatism and scientism against the deep-rooted traditional concepts and metaphysical thinking in Japanese society. The greater the influence of Kazuo Inamori’s ideas in Japanese business society, the more Japan’s economy will become If it is difficult to improve, Japanese companies will continue to fall into operating difficulties. Just like their Go, they have been far behind by China and South Korea."

"This topic is too big." Boss Ma felt a little tired, and his mind was muddled, "I can't get through the conversation on the phone. I will go to the capital to find you in a few days. Let's talk about it in detail at that time. By the way, we will go to Sheng Take a look at Heshu. Regardless of whether you agree with Kazuo Inamori's corporate philosophy or not, you are a representative of our domestic entrepreneurs after all, and you should come forward."
