Chapter 2123 Amoeba

Kazuo Inamori is currently the only person in the world who has founded two Fortune 500 companies, which is amazing.

Let’s just say that in 2012, in mainland China, excluding the state-owned enterprises with industry monopoly and administrative monopoly, only Huawei and Shagang are on the list. Lenovo and Suning are both in their own transformation stage and are not on the list.

With the power of the whole country, only two private companies, Huawei and Shagang, are on the list, and the rankings are far lower than the two companies of Kazuo Inamori.So it's not surprising that Kazuo Inamori became popular in China during this period.

People are really great.

Kazuo Inamori's business management model is the "amoeba" business philosophy created by him, and many companies will want to learn it one after another.

Because of the admiration of Kazuo Inamori in the policy, there are three very hot sectors in the success study industry.

One, Zen.

Because Kazuo Inamori has been a Buddhist believer since he was a child, he also converted to Zen Buddhism after retirement, and left his family and career to go to a temple to practice.Even Jobs was a Zen believer.That would have a more theoretical basis, and many people began to use out-of-context Zen theories to guide others to start companies.

Second, Yangming studies.

Because Kazuo Inamori is a believer of Wang Yangming, and it happens that "Yangming Learning" is a traditional culture, many masters of success learning have begun to use this guise to guide others to start businesses.

Three, amoeba.

Different from the metaphysics of Buddhism and Yangming School, Amoeba’s business philosophy is very practical. Kazuo Inamori has summed it up. He has published a book on how to do each item and how to manage each department. up.

So this one is also the most deceitful.

The first two, at most, are fooling some half-baked people, only those who are ambitious but not intelligent. As soon as the "Amoeba" came out, it was very powerful, and many well-known entrepreneurs were fascinated by it.

It is not surprising that Boss Wang is interested in Amoeba's business philosophy.

Zhou Buqi was very calm.

First of all, he has been in contact with Kazuo Inamori before, and he has already judged that he can't learn that way at all, and whoever learns will die.

Another point is the experience of the previous life.

Zhou Buqi also opened a small company in his previous life, and he also has a group of friends who do small businesses around him. Many people have been fooled by "amoebas" and promoted the amoeba model in the company.

The results are all miserable, one counts as one, and none of them end well.

Boss Wang saw that he was so determined, so he couldn't help but ask: "Don't think so? Is this model not good?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Have you met Kazuo Inamori?"

Boss Wang shook his head.

Zhou Buqi said: "Everyone in China is talking about the amoeba business philosophy. In my opinion, it should be a kind of philosophical thought. Except for Inamori Kazuo, I don't think there are many people in the world who can put this idea into practice. It’s easy to understand. Anyway, I can’t do it, I’m not good enough. I’m just a layman, and Kazuo Inamori is a saint.”

"Saint?" Boss Wang frowned slightly, very disapproving, and unwilling to lift a little devil to such a height, "No way! No way!"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It's not the kind of conceptual saint, or... it should be a position in Zen Buddhism, layman, sage and saint."

"How to say?"

Boss Wang was very curious, because Kazuo Inamori had indeed converted to Zen.

Zhou Buqi said: "If the 'ego' is too strong, it is an ordinary person...that is, it cares too much about 'me'. To put it bluntly, it is selfish. It only sees itself and no one else. For example, the money I earn is mine. Worldly thinking in this conventional sense."

Boss Wang smiled and said, "Then we are all ordinary people."

Zhou Buqi went on to say: "Since there are 'I' and others in his eyes, he is a sage. The money I earn is not only mine, but also other people's. Let's spend it together. Most philanthropists can do this. One step, and it will stop at this step. Anyway, for me, I think this is my ultimate goal."

Boss Wang laughed out loud, thinking that this kid was very honest.

Zhou Buqi said: "If there is no 'I', if you reach the state of 'no-self', and you only see others, then you are a saint in the sense of Zen. Relying on alms. He has reached such a state, all my money belongs to others, and I give it to others. This time I went out to save Nikko, and I don’t want a penny of reward.”

"Ah."

Boss Wang nodded and fell silent.

It really is.

Such a realm, he thought to himself, was impossible, and he still wanted to leave the company to his son.This is also the traditional thinking of the Chinese people. The company that has been worked hard by oneself should be left to the children to take over.

Whoever can cross this step is at least a sage.

If this step cannot be achieved, even if the donation is large enough, it will be difficult to surpass the "ego" step to reach the standard of a sage.

The best in China is of course Vanke's Wang Shi. Not only did he give up his shares in the company, but the chosen successor has no personal relationship with him at all.

He has such a high status in the industry, not because he is rich, but because he is really capable of what others cannot.

Especially in the selection of successors.

Many private companies in China are now facing the problem of succession, and many companies are going to be in trouble. There are many cases of father and son turning against each other, and some are even suspected of murder.

In some companies, because they cannot solve this problem, the big bosses dare not retire even in their late [-]s.

Only Vanke has done the best in this regard, which can be called a model.

Zhou Buqi said: "The entire amoeba business philosophy is based on such a spiritual concept of 'no self'. For example, the engineering department wants to ask the design department for help, and the design department has to issue a High design fee. This will lead to a large increase in the project budget. In order to adjust the budget, the engineering department can only cut corners. Or simply go outside to find a design company to cooperate with. to a third party."

"Huh?" Boss Wang's eyes widened, "You know real estate quite well!"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "If it is the concept of amoeba, this problem can be solved. Every employee should have 'no self'. The design department should have 'no self'. They don't care about their own interests, but also help the engineering department. The department will also consider the same, and is willing to sacrifice itself to create profits for the design department. In this way, the contradictions within the company will be resolved, the collaboration between departments will be orderly, and the group's profits will not be lost. "

Boss Wang thought about it slowly and said: "If we divide according to the standards of laymen, sages, and saints, most of them are laymen. It is too difficult to use the standards of saints to demand laymen. Employees must be continuously Just brainwashing."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "If Wanda wants to be an amoeba, of course he has to be brainwashed. But Kazuo Inamori is an amoeba, that's not brainwashing, that's called acting like a model, and it's the power of role models. Hai Rui's official position calls on others to be clean and honest. Integrity, everyone believes, this is not brainwashing, it is a matter of course; if He Shen is in power, and then keeps asking others to serve the people with ease, it is a big joke, who can believe it? This is proper brainwashing. Amoeba If the concept of Ziweixing is implemented, it will be a brainwashing tool properly. I am a layman myself, and I am not worthy of virtue. If Kazuo Inamori implements it, it will be a matter of course. Not only will all employees not have the disgust and brainwashing There will be a sense of honor from top to bottom.”

Boss Wang felt very educated, "Wanda's system is profit-oriented and designed for all ordinary people. We are all ordinary people. From this point of view, it is really impossible to recommend amoebas."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "So there are only two types of amoebas, two extremes. One is the true saint level, and they have fallen into a state of selflessness from top to bottom. Just like in those days Kazuo Inamori founded the operator KDDI. His purpose was to reduce the telephone bills in Japan so that every family can use the telephone. He even voluntarily gave up his own profits. This is a kind of selfless pursuit. There is a kind of scum-level company. As you said, it needs to be constantly brainwashed. The employees’ brains are washed into fools, and they are sold to help count the money. Then several company bosses muffled Wealthy, beautiful cars and beauties enjoy all the splendor and wealth. We are all ordinary people, we are more than inferior than superior, so we should stay away from amoebas.”

In the same way, if someone else said that to Boss Wang, he might be out of his wits, and his left ear would be tingling with the right ear.

Zhou Buqi is different, and the outstanding achievements are there.

In Xia Liba's words, even his farts are delicious.

Boss Wang smiled and raised his wine glass, "Ordinary and ordinary, let's have a drink!"

What the two drank was red wine, and what they drank was a ceremony.

After taking a sip, Boss Wang said with deep conviction: "I heard what you said, it's true, when I go back to China, I have to talk to other colleagues when I get a chance, and I can't blindly adopt this idea in the company. "

Zhou Buqi said: "Anyway, when I manage the company, I have only one idea. I don't doubt the people I use, and I don't use the people I suspect. If I use it, I will boldly believe it. The company is getting bigger and bigger, how can we manage so many things?"

Boss Wang felt that he spoke too lightly, so he asked sharply, "How do you know if you are a suspect?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "The industry is different, and I really don't like it. It's quite easy to choose people in the technology industry. It's too difficult here in Hollywood. There are suspicious people everywhere. You really have to be careful when you hire people." .Do you know who the CEO of Ziwei Star Global is?"

Boss Wang nodded, "Jasonji what..."

Zhou Buqi said: "Jason Kilar, do you know what he used to do?"

Boss Wang shook his head and said with a broken smile, "Don't be tricky."

Zhou Buqi said: "He used to work at Amazon and was Bezos' right-hand man. Later, he jumped out to start a business and founded Hulu. Later, because he was hindered by Hulu too much, he joined Ziwei Star Global. He is not suspicious. People are more trustworthy than the president of Universal Pictures, the president of MGM and so on."

"How to say?"

"If Jason Kilar wanted to make money, he wouldn't have left Amazon. Does he have a lot of money? $10 billion is still very easy. He is pursuing higher career achievements. These people in Hollywood are all for Make money. I usually judge by grasping this essential difference.”
