Chapter 3099 Right or Wrong

Ziweixing has almost no parachuted executives, and most of the senior managers in the management level are promoted internally.

Because the shortcomings of parachuted executives are obvious.

For example, they lack the ability to convince others, do not understand the business well enough, lack trust and understanding with the team, and are not fully integrated into the corporate culture. In a core position where everyone has their own job, parachuting in is blocking the promotion path for internal employees. Some companies don't even have any parachuted executives.

Zhang Xiaolong is a special case.

Now his weakness of lack of integration is exposed.

Zhou Buqi held a meeting this time to ban WeChat business. He had a firm mindset. He knew that WeChat business was a dead end, no matter how many reasons he gave. So he didn't need to listen to other people's theories and opinions, and he could act arbitrarily.

No vote is needed at all.

Because this is the "culture" of Ziweixing.

If it is a matter or project that Boss Zhou is unsure about, he cannot figure it out or lacks confidence, then he will gather ideas from all quarters, conduct sufficient discussion, and have each department provide data and analysis reports. Then the meeting will vote and the minority will obey the majority.

For example, Liang Ruobo replaced Tang Binchen as the CEO of Pengyou.com.

Zhou Buqi is not sure about the future development of Pengyou.com.

Liang Ruobo launched his own "Three Circles Theory", and Zhou Buqi did not participate at all, because this was a complete innovation that had never appeared in the past. In the end, the executives voted and gave Liang Ruobo the trust to let him go ahead and do it, which eventually made Friends.com a success.

There is another situation, that is, Boss Zhou’s attitude is very firm.

There's nothing much to say about this.

There doesn’t even need to be a vote.

Whatever he says to do, we just do it!

  Put aside differences and implement firmly!

There are too many such things, and almost every time there are unexpected miraculous effects. It can be said that Ziweixing can achieve such brilliant achievements in a short period of time, mainly relying on the dictatorship of Boss Zhou!

Because of his autocratic approach, Ziweixing greatly saved decision-making time and trial-and-error costs. He could find the best one among many options at the first time, rush forward mindlessly, and quickly seize the first-mover advantage.

The same thing happened this time.

Zhou Buqi's attitude was very clear, and according to convention, there was no need for a vote.

Just do whatever he says.

Everyone is used to it.

Unexpectedly, the "paratrooper" Zhang Xiaolong stood up.

He had never experienced anything like this.

It is hard to imagine that such a big thing was sentenced to death based on a few words from the big boss without repeated argumentation and multi-level discussion, as well as research in technology, products, market, and academic aspects.

  How can there be such a thing?

At the very least there should be some basic procedural justice and a voting procedure, right?

This is the company's articles of association.

Theoretically, Zhou Buqi did need to go through the voting process. However, since he had already made the decision, the vote would definitely pass. In order to save efficiency and shorten the meeting time, everything was kept simple. Who would oppose Boss Zhou?

If you really object, it will be troublesome.

This is a disunited team.

The organizational structure is going to change.

Moreover, you can't object even if you want to.

Boss Zhou has the most voting rights in Ziweixing's shareholders' meeting, board of directors and decision-making committee. If he is determined to do something, no one can change it if it is really exaggerated.

This makes Zhang Xiaolong's request for a meeting vote seem less appropriate.

It was as if he was challenging Boss Zhou's authority.

How is this possible?

This is a red line, which is much more serious than banning WeChat business.

So Zhang Yiming, Guo Pengfei, Meng Houkun, Wang Xiaochuan and others all clearly stated that they would support the development of micro-businesses, but when voting, they all stood on the side of "banning micro-businesses." They did not support the resolution to ban micro-businesses, but supported Zhou Buqi.

In everyone's opinion, the behavior of Zhang Xiaolong, the paratrooper, was to question Boss Zhou.

This is not possible!

The airborne soldiers did not realize the significance of Boss Zhou to Ziweixing. Ensuring the execution of Boss Zhou's decisions on Ziweixing was much more important than the existence of WeChat business. Not to mention whether WeChat business will be successful in the future, even if it is successful, it will only be a business under WeChat under Ziweixing.

This led to a huge disparity in the vote. Of the 13 executives, except Zhang Xiaolong who expressed support for the development of WeChat businesses, the other 12 executives all supported the abolition of WeChat businesses.

Zhou Buqi had expected this result long ago. Most of the people present had grown up with Ziweixing, so he smiled and said, "So it's passed?"

He Yang said solemnly: "12 votes in favor, 1 vote against, wechat business should be banned."

Zhang Xiaolong was stunned and speechless.

It's still hard to understand.

Why is this happening?

Aren’t we all supporting the development of WeChat business? Why did we suddenly rebel?

After the meeting, Zhou Buqi was still a little confused and asked Zhang Yiming and He Yang, "What's wrong with him? How well does he cooperate with us at work?"

Zhang Yiming smiled and said, "There is no problem at work, maybe I'm just not used to it yet."

He Yang said: "The style at Penguin is different from ours. President Ma is not a dictator. The decision-making body of Penguin is the President's Office, and it is basically a collective vote of senior executives. Moreover, he has certain privileges in Penguin. When President Ma communicates with him, he always uses the tone of application and request."

Zhou Buqi said, "I don't think I'm being overbearing, do I? I've already explained to everyone the reasons for banning WeChat businesses. I flew back from the United States to explain this to everyone, fearing that everyone might misunderstand. No matter how much you support WeChat businesses, they will definitely fail. There is not even a chance of success. If WeChat businesses survive one more day, the damage to WeChat will increase by one point."

Since the big boss had said this, Zhang Yiming immediately stated, "I will issue a notice soon to ban the development of micro-businesses on WeChat. The product rectification must be completed within three days."

He Yang joked: "You come back too infrequently. If you come back more often, people will understand."

Zhou Buqi said: "We need to explain things clearly to them. Don't let it cause any misunderstanding, as if everyone is targeting him on purpose."

He Yang said: "I have asked Meng Houkun to go. I will talk to him later."

……

At this time, Meng Houkun had already gone to Zhang Xiaolong's office.

Zhang Xiaolong was still a little dazed, and looked up at him, "Why?"

Meng Houkun said: "Is this hard to understand? His name is Zhou Buqi, is this a sufficient reason?"

"But you told me that you would support WeChat business, and your support would be unwavering."

Zhang Xiaolong still restrained himself and did not call him a traitor.

Meng Houkun said calmly: "I still say this now. I support WeChat business. I support it unwaveringly."

"Then you vote!"

Zhang Xiaolong became a little angry.

Meng Houkun said: "I support it. This is my personal behavior. The company voted. This is my position and power as a director and senior vice president of the company. I must put aside my personal position and stand on the company's side."

"What?"

Zhang Xiaolong almost laughed out of anger, thinking his theory was ridiculous.

Meng Houkun said: "I support WeChat business. You saw it at the meeting. The vast majority of people support WeChat business. This is reality. However, my support for WeChat business does not mean that my intention to support WeChat business is right."

"Ah?" Zhang Xiaolong was puzzled. "What do you mean? Are you in favor or against?"

Meng Houkun said: "These are two things. First, I support WeChat business, and I support you in opposing Zhou Buqi. Second, the idea that I support WeChat business, I support you and oppose Zhou Buqi is wrong. I can't act on impulse and stand on the wrong side when I know I'm wrong."

"Are you sure?"

"can!"

"Bullshit."

"All of us know the simplest way to judge right from wrong, except you."

"Ok?"

Zhang Xiaolong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and realized how out of place he was.

Meng Houkun said: "Zhou Buqi said that if WeChat business doesn't work, it will fail, and it will definitely fail. I can't push the company to do WeChat business just because I recognize and believe in WeChat business, and lead the company down a path of no return."

Zhang Xiaolong was unconvinced, "Why? Everyone makes mistakes, and he is not a god."

Meng Houkun looked at him deeply and said, "You should go find Professor Han, take a history class, and learn the history of the development of Ziweixing."
