Chapter 108 Radical Expansion

The sky outside the window is not very bright.

The sun showed a small face from behind the clouds for a while.

It's like hide and seek.

Yangcheng has been cloudy for many days, and sunny days are almost becoming a rarity.

After Wen Liang made a final decision, the big conference room suddenly fell into silence.

Nothing else, the guided discussion is gentle.

It is Wen Liang who is steady and steady.

Now Wen Liang is more radical than everyone imagined.

Moreover, everyone did not presuppose that Wen Liang would make such a radical decision on the basis of "taking too many steps and exposing a series of problems".

Even Xin Dai who joined Bolang at the latest has communicated with Wen Liang many times at work. Whether it is the first impression or the impression of work, in Xin Dai's eyes, Wen Liang is gentle, steady, patient, confident and easy-going.

Its vision is long-term and broad-sighted.

But now, people from big factories like Xin Dai are digesting Wen Liang's radicalism.

Wen Liang's decision is theoretically fine.

It is a solution that takes both specimens into account.

If this decision is carried out, ideally, the internal situation of Bolang Company will become like this:
In mid-March, version 1 of the mobile game "Three Kingdoms Cards" will be released as scheduled. At the same time, a group of development engineers will conduct internal testing of version 2, and another group is pre-researching version 3;

There should also be a group of people working on another new game.

In addition, the further development of Xiaochengshu will not stop, and various things will be done in groups within the project.

For example, the structure of the e-commerce module is sorted out, such as new version internal testing, pre-research version development, etc.

In this ideal state, of course, it can perfectly solve the company's existing problems.

Not only will it not waste time, but it can also support the fact that Bolang needs to walk on multiple legs.

However, in this ideal state, only the number of development engineers is an exaggeration. This is still considering the fact that there are more than 400 part-time outsourced development.

The pressure on the executive management will also be exaggerated to the point of explosion!

Therefore, Li Xia had no choice but to take the initiative to advise: "Mr. Wen, this plan can cure the symptoms and cure the root cause, which is very good, but isn't it a bit too radical at this stage?"

Glancing at Lixia first, Wen Liang glanced at the few people present, and said in a flat voice: "Aren't you taking the situation that Bolang will face seriously too seriously, isn't the stable development period of the last month not enough to recuperate?"

"Need I remind everyone that the company's plans are being implemented slowly?"

“在这座大厦8、11、12、13、15层分别租用的办公区难道是用来落灰的？”

It's just three consecutive questions.

It is very uncommon for Wen Liang to show a tough style directly at the meeting.

It used to be moderate strength.

At the end, Wen Liang emphasized in a very firm tone: "I don't want everyone to have discovered the exposed problems. There is one and only one radical solution. You are still procrastinating. Don't want the company to be bigger. sick!"

"985211 is hard to find high-achieving students, and IT training institutions catch a lot of people who can't afford it! If they are not suitable, they will be eliminated. Most of you here are experienced, and you can't get it if you have a few hundred people? Do you want to enroll you in a class? What about it?"

"Give me all the work, I want to see the first round of expansion of the R&D department in place before the end of the month!"

Yuan Shiya was the first to come back to her senses, and quickly responded: "Understood!"

"I'll list the needs of the department right now." Sun Baoyin also said immediately.

Then, everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

This concludes the meeting.

No one raised any further objections.

Wen Liang didn't lose his temper casually, and the steady development for a month made everyone a little slack.

Yes, Lixia's remonstrance is also true, but it is not suitable for Bolang, who is fully wound up at this stage.

Bolang has to run fast at this stage, and run a little faster, in order to cope with the needs of business development and the external competition that may explode in the next second.

Now such a radical expansion plan is just a test of whether Wen Liang's internal administrative management skills are sharp enough.

In layman's terms, it is a test of Wen Liang's ability to steer and make decisions.

It also tests Wen Liang's ability to lay the groundwork in the true sense.

External competition only needs to see the tricks, and most of the internal problems must be as gentle as cooking small fresh.

However, the former Director Wen was not afraid of these things.

During the eight years in the previous life, for seven years, Director Wen was either passively or actively learning to 'cook fresh food'.

…………

…………

In order to cope with this exaggerated expansion, Wen Liang temporarily suppressed the option grant plan.

In the afternoon, the summary plans of various departments were put on Wen Liang's desk.

In order to meet the company's next development needs, each department needs to expand and recruit people.

According to the needs listed in the plan, coupled with Wen Liang's revised official implementation plan, the new organizational structure and staffing will become:

财务15人、人力资源30人、行政10人、运营45人、运维20人、法务10人、公关30人。

And the R&D department that has changed the most.

The R&D department will be divided into R&D department and product department from now on.

The latter is temporarily hosted by Li Bowen, with a team of 15 people.

The expansion of the first phase of the R&D department is very brutal, and will expand to 240 people.

Including development engineers and algorithm engineers for iOS and Android.

You must know that there are still more than 400 people in Bolang's external part-time outsourcing development, which does not include the laboratory personnel where Zhang Yulin and Qin Zheng work and the assisting developers that may be used for their project research.

After this expansion, the overall number of software developers inside and outside Bolang may exceed 700 people.

The number of official employees of Bolang has reached 431.

It is also thanks to the fact that Wang Wanyu's office rental plan based on relatively long-term considerations is very sufficient.

银灰大厦8、11、12、13、15层分别租用的办公区总面积有2100多平，刨除必要空间占用，和少量独立办公室规划，摆了66组占地21平的6人工位。

However, after this expansion, there are only a small number of vacancies left in a total of 6 office areas, even though there are 479 actual office spaces.

It's also a coincidence that the rentable office area on the 8th floor is relatively large. Including the 901 side, it can just accommodate all the employees of other departments except R&D and products.

"..."

After Wen Liang's revised plan was officially issued for implementation, Li Ze walked into the general manager's office.

Cuntou Aze sat on the chair opposite the desk, and was not in a hurry to speak.

Wen Liang is not in a hurry.

After a while, Li Zenong raised his eyebrows, looked at Wen Liang, and said helplessly: "Anyway, give me a breath in advance, or wink, I will charge, and you will hold the line at the back, which not only shows that you are smart, but also has room for maneuver. "

"It's not easy to be the boss. If there are too many tough times, it will easily make everyone nervous, and it will be difficult to lead the team."

"Look at this time, even Xiao Chen didn't understand what you meant right away."

In the end, Li Ze stroked his chest again: "Besides, my appearance should be a villain image."

After hearing Li Ze finish speaking in a fit of rage, Wen Liang smiled: "I'll handle it properly, and being a boss can't always be like a Bodhisattva."

Li Ze groaned for a moment, then agreed: "That's right, it was just right, just like you said, starting a business is really not something that people do, Xiaochengshu is out of the dying stage, but Bolang is still in danger, unless we don't Continue to take advantage of the good opportunities to vigorously develop.”

Wen Liang nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Wen Liang specially said a few more words: "At the meeting, you need to observe more, even if it is an emergency, as long as Mr. Wang doesn't show up, it means that the problem is not serious."

Li Ze was taken aback for a moment, then kept shaking his head, and murmured: "It's because my eyelids are shallow."

That's right, Wang Wanyu, who has led Wen Liang in one hand, has worked in a large global company like Deloitte for many years. Even if some of Wen Liang's performances surprised her, she would not lose her basic judgment, let alone choose to stay out of the matter.

Not any time!

The fact that Wang Wanyu didn't show up at the regular meeting meant that there was no problem.

It's like Li Ze will come over now, but Wang Wanyu won't.

…………

In the next few days, except for the three departments of finance, human resources, and administration, all other departments moved out of 901.

Operations and operation and maintenance departments moved to the 8th floor, and the multimedia room was also demolished.

The public relations and legal affairs that just need to cooperate with these two departments have also moved to the 8th floor.

The remaining product and R&D departments moved to the office area on the 11th floor and above.

In the week starting from the 20th, the number of new recruits was not too many, 60 to [-], and a large part of them were people who had some contact with them before;

However, on Monday, the new week of the 27th, the number of new employees increased sharply, as many as 190 people a day, most of them are software developers. There are some internal recommendations in this part, and most of them go directly to nearby computer training institutions like Beida Jade Bird to unify. recruitment.

By the morning of the 29th, all the new employees needed for this crazy expansion were in place.

Wen Liang didn't use any novel methods to sort out the internal situation at all.

He just sent an all-staff email.

The focus is on three things:
1. Considering everyone's contribution in the early stage of the company's development, all employees who joined the company before February 2th will become full-time employees in advance.

2. Announce the list of the first 4 people who have been granted options and their corresponding ranks, and announce the agreed option purchase price.

3. Determine the planned time for the second batch of option grants to be March 3, and determine the total share of the second batch of options to be 31 million shares. It is clear that the option grants ignore the rank and only look at work contribution and performance.

4. It is clear that the company does not judge superiority by overtime, but judges value by creativity. If you create higher value during working hours, you will receive substantial bonuses.

The apparent effect of this email is obvious.

As long as you are not stupid and know how to surf the Internet, you will know how high Bolang's current valuation in the capital market is.

Getting an option means getting a very valuable note at a very low price.

At least the aggressive expansion caused the company's impetuous atmosphere to disappear instantly.

Because everyone has seen the dawn of hope.

In addition, Wen Liang did not intervene in the internal management of other departments except the R&D department, and gave full authority to the managers of each department.

As for the R&D department, which accounted for more than 50% of the company's total staff, Wen Liang didn't make any big moves. He just helped Sun Baoyin divide into multiple groups and adjusted the rationality of staffing.

When all the employees except Duan Yisi, who were the first batch of stock options, secretly rejoiced, Wen Liang made it public again, saying that the company will conduct an assessment in the middle and late March. 5% of employees after elimination.

If according to the messy theoretical model, Wen Liang used such things as 'catfish effect', 'interest induction', 'benchmarking power', 'empathy', 'anticipated crisis', 'involvement', 'public pressure', 'last position' Eliminate a series of industrial and commercial theories such as','...'.

In fact, the methods are relatively simple, but they can work at this stage.

Wen Liang's intentions are obvious, blind and frantic expansion is true, and talent reduction is also true, but the specifics depend on their respective performances.

Knife?Be it.
