Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 475: Simplifying Complex Problems
This period of quiet observation lasted until the start of school.

Li Yan still cherishes the concept of "starting school".

After leaving the identities of teacher and student, and entering the stage of working hard without having children, September only means “the weather is not cool yet”.

I guess when this so-called second year of high school is over, Li Yan’s serious student career will also come to an end.

Where can teachers be better than the team of academicians?
Which university’s collection of materials can compare with that of the information room of Huazhong University of Science and Technology?
Of course, the core issue is that no one dares to be Teacher Li Yan.

Even the bigwigs of Huazhong University of Science and Technology have expressed the intention of "communication". How many university professors dare to be Teacher Li Yan?

Professor Meng’s tragic experience is still vivid in our minds.

In fact, Li Yan had long lost the awareness of being a student. He had too many identities and it was difficult for him to remember them all. He might have suffered from schizophrenia on the spot.

If Wei Yunzhi hadn't reminded her, Li Yan wouldn't have known that it was the beginning of another school year.

On the afternoon of August 8, Li Yan was immersed in a sea of ​​books when her cell phone suddenly vibrated.

He has set up reminders for various messages. When he is immersed in reading, there is only one kind of message that can cause the phone to vibrate at a low frequency - Wei Yunzhi's WeChat chat message.

"School has started, Li Yan!"

"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten."

"It seems that I won't be able to see Boss Li in school anymore."

"I will go, and I can see you outside of school."

"Not bothering you, right?"

"No."

"Have you been reading this summer?"

"Basically, I can handle some company affairs at the same time."

"I don't even dare to disturb you."

"If you ask me, I will reply."

"So, when can we meet?"

"Then I'll go to the opening ceremony." Li Yan smiled and said, "Principal Lu asked me to give a speech, but I refused."

"What are you going to say?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, just play it casually."

"Yeah, if you say anything now, everyone will scream."

"Do you know?"

"I scream the loudest!"

"Then just wait."

Something seems wrong...

Li Yan found himself grinning foolishly at his phone. He shook his head and instantly transformed from a young boy into a wealthy boss.

In the past half month, Future Technology's turnover has been increasing, and the various businesses of Super Life Circle are expanding and advancing in an orderly manner. In the eyes of outsiders, it seems so awesome and promising.

There is no shortage of praise for Li Yan. In the past half month, Li Yan personally rejected more than a dozen interviews. This is a heavyweight invitation that came to him after overcoming numerous obstacles.

You can imagine how many rejections Wang Zi had to face.

The company is thriving, but there are indeed many problems internally.

Even though Li Yan had been sitting in the office for the past half month, the chaotic noises below never stopped.

Fortunately, my parents were racking their brains to figure out how to decorate such a big villa in Tianhong Garden, and they seemed to be even busier than him.

For the time being, he can focus on the office...

Learn.

Li Yan was in charge of the office, but in fact he did almost nothing for the company management in the past half month. He gave his subordinates a relatively high degree of freedom, which was rare.

He knew that the management had many ideas about the development direction of Super Life Circle.

Unlike the period of mobile phone system development, software and hardware development, how software develops is not a hard technical issue.

When the system is being developed, it is awesome if you can come up with it. Li Yan can do it, but others can't.

So everyone listened to him and obeyed him.

Now it is no longer a technical issue, it has become a discussion class.

Everyone has a point. Even if one party has data to support their argument, the other party can respond with “what if”.

Then we will fall into the state of looking at the "starting point", and all kinds of politically correct statements will come out.

Anyway, it's all for the company. The conservatives who want long-term development, the capitalists who want to make as much money as possible, and the radicals who want to monopolize the market, everyone can say something.

Li Yan knew how intense the discussions were just by looking at the number of management meetings, inter-department meetings, and even internal department meetings.

However, none of these heated discussions reached his ears.

If he didn't have his own intelligence system, he would probably still think that everyone was following the direction he had set before.

It seems that management also knows that these are all useless discussions without any decent results.

Zhao Tianya’s influence is growing... maybe it was always great, but Li Yan has finally set her sights on him.

Zhao Tianya has thick eyebrows and a square face. He looks like a loyal subject. He doesn't have much presence in normal times and even admits that he is incompetent. Who would have thought...

When he was the last one to admit his mistake along with Zhang He and Wang Li, his report was a mess, but he admitted his mistake straightforwardly and Li Yan also gave him face.

After Zhang He and Wang Li were marginalized and received the dividends they were entitled to as a startup team, they basically started to give up.

Judging from the information conveyed below, these two guys should voluntarily resign soon.

After all, it is quite uncomfortable to see that other people who were once brothers are now calling the shots and are respected by so many people, while you are just a small middle-level leader. The people under you know that they are the founders, but they try to avoid embarrassment by being confused even though they understand the situation.

Li Yan thought that Zhao Tianya was in the same state, but she didn't expect that he would become an opinion leader.

Everyone is a very complex individual. Li Yan does not think that they will naturally form a whole in the future technological environment. Where there are positives, there are negatives, and where there are smooth sailing, there are naturally rough sailings.

The positive and negative sides can be manifested in a group or in an individual.

Currently, most people in Future Technology support Li Yan, with few dissenting voices. The most outrageous ones are "Li Yan is not that great", "I feel like he doesn't care enough about the company", and clichés such as "He definitely doesn't rely on himself".

But they had strong objections to the management team appointed by Li Yan.

The label of "nepotism" has long been pinned on Li Yan's head and cannot be removed.

But everyone doesn’t think this is Li Yan’s problem. They have opinions about Li Yan’s personnel arrangements, but they also have no opinions about Li Yan at all. Isn’t it amazing?

In fact, the reason is very simple. Those who have the biggest opinions on personnel arrangements are those who want to be promoted. Once they are promoted, they will become ministers who directly face Li Yan.

The ultimate goal is to get promoted, but now he is showing dissatisfaction with Li Yan?

That's completely the opposite of the truth.

These ministers have different personalities and abilities, but they have one key thing in common:
I admire Li Yan.

The ways of being convinced may be different, but the final result is the same.

Even Sun Miao, who has the greatest power, the strongest personal ability, and the most easily crooked mind, is now a complete believer.

This was exactly why Li Yan used them. No matter what, Li Yan found it difficult to trust others.

Trust in the workplace comes either from someone being more capable than you or someone having a higher status than you.

People naturally help you take the blame, and you naturally trust them.

No one will trust those who are less capable than themselves, nor will they trust their subordinates.

The principle is simple: if something goes wrong, you can’t rely on me.

The cost of trust is too high.

From a positional perspective, the boss of a group no longer has anyone of “higher status” to trust, so he can only trust people who are more capable than him in some aspect.

But Li Yan has the strongest abilities, no one in this group can compare to him.

So what he pursues is "peace of mind", and he hopes that these people will not cause any trouble, but will implement his arrangements and help him advance his work.

He thought so, and the ministers might also think so, but a large number of people did not think so.

In their eyes, Li Yan appointed these ministers not because of their abilities, but because the ministers were either obedient or good at flattering.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After all, this group of ministers hardly made any requests for Li Yan's work arrangements and had no objections to Li Yan's decisions.

Let's look at Zhao Tianya, Zhang He and Wang Li...

"Just because I rejected Mr. Li's opinion at the meeting, I ended up like this."

This can be seen from the daily gossip chat of a middle-level leader.

The transmission of information in a large group is very easy to be distorted.

As a manager, you must also maintain this distortion because it can bring an absolute weapon in management - information asymmetry.

There are many things that Li Yan knows but the minister does not know, and there are also many things that the ministers know but their subordinates do not know. As the situation gets more and more serious, the people working at the lowest level often cannot understand the purpose of the work they are doing.

The "managers" mentioned here are not Li Yan, but this group of ministers and an increasing number of middle-level leaders.

Li Yan didn't care about the information gap. He hoped that other people could instantly understand all his meanings.

Flat management is also possible.

But it is unrealistic to do so. Communication requires energy. So many employees are good at different things, have different abilities, and have different thinking habits. Li Yan's time is precious and she has no time to care about them.

It is even less likely that the ministers responsible for conveying information will make an effort to ensure that information is transparent. In this case, what is the purpose of their management?
Isn’t the coolest thing in the workplace just “just do it”?
What is hidden behind this is the meaning of "I am the only one who knows what a certain leader has communicated with me about, so I am your leader."

Therefore, under the fermentation of various factors, those who were dissatisfied with the "Ministers' Group" who were sticking together gradually found an organization led by a group of ambitious people who wanted to replace them.

Their leader is Zhao Tianya.

Compared with Zhang He and Wang Li, who were directly criticized, Zhao Tianya is still much more decent.

His status as a founding member also gave him more confidence than anyone else.

He addressed several ministers as old friends, acted calm and composed himself, and even made some healthy self-deprecating remarks like "I have to work hard to catch up with those who have fallen behind."

As a result, he gained the trust of many grassroots employees.

There are potential stocks in various lines that have the hope of fighting against the current ministers. Many of them are on good terms with Zhao Tianya. After several attempts, they find that they are actually like-minded people. Thus, a force that gives the ministers a headache is born.

"So when you ministers push forward your work, you always encounter resistance from conflicting opinions, which is why you have so many meetings." Li Yan finished reading the information about Zhao Tianya's recent movements. "You assign tasks, and they ask why. However, there are no standard answers to these questions. If you deal with them on your own, you are likely to be caught, and you are embarrassed to say 'it was arranged by General Manager Li', right?"

Sun Miao, who came to report his work but was interrupted, didn't even dare to sit down. He swallowed and nodded.

"Such a simple method has broken your information gap."

Sun Miao said nothing.

"Brother Miao, please sit down. Why are you standing?"

The word "brother" shocked Sun Miao so much that he felt like his life had been shortened, and he quickly pulled a chair and sat down.

"Come on, Mr. Sun, you are sitting in this position, how do you think we should deal with the impact that Zhao Tianya has brought?"

"Tianya is not targeting us. It's normal to have different opinions. We should accommodate different voices," said Sun Miao.

"Are you testing me?"

Li Yan's words put Sun Miao under unprecedented pressure. Although there was a "ma", it did not sound like a question or a rhetorical question at all.

"No, Mr. Li, I didn't mean that."

"Do you really think this is normal? We should accommodate different voices?"

This punctuation is enough to separate Sun Miao's soul.

Li Yan didn't know that Sun Miao had regarded him as a god because of some fantastic imagination, so he was a little confused about Sun Miao's pale face.

In Sun Miao's eyes, Li Yan's questioning was almost equivalent to divine punishment.

It sounds a bit outrageous, but Sun Miao, whose logic is self-consistent, is becoming more and more convinced of his own ideas.

He felt that Li Yan was not a normal human being, and giving him a chance was a favor. If he got angry, he might do something to Sun Miao that ordinary people could not understand.

Don’t get the wrong idea. In Sun Miao’s imagination, it’s things like “blocking your wisdom”, “putting you into a sub-healthy state”, “the children you’ll have in the future will be stupid”…

Super powers, but not much.

And he should believe from the bottom of his heart that Li Yan is a good person.

"Boss Li, I'm not sincere enough. I'm actually a little annoyed. I feel that Tianya obviously doesn't care about the matter, but everyone listens to him..."

"That's right, don't be so politically correct." Li Yan shook her head, "I only want to hear the truth, not the correct words."

"Okay Mr. Li."

"but."

As soon as these two words came out, Sun Miao's heart rose to his throat again.

"I don't need to accommodate any different voices. The work you are promoting is arranged by me, your position is appointed by me, and what you do represents my will."

"Understood, Mr. Li."

"It's meaningless to hold too many internal meetings. Complex issues need to be simplified. If Zhao Tianya and the group he represents have any opinions, please come to me."

"Ok."

Li Yan's expression became more relaxed. "Brother Miao, don't be so nervous. I have something else to ask you."

Sun Miao was actually quite relaxed. "What's the matter, Mr. Li?"

Li Yan turned the phone screen to Sun Miao and asked with a smile, "This Super Life Circle Pre-release version I'm using is your test product, right?"

"That's right, Mr. Li. Let me show you our latest research and development and optimization."

“Using customized data?”

Sun Miao's expression froze.

"I don't need to show you the disassembled code, do I?" Li Yan still smiled and pointed at her computer. "Want to build an information cocoon for me? Want me to be immersed in a highly customized super life circle and unable to extricate myself?"

Sun Miao's face turned pale.

He was flattering me, but...

It seems like the wrong shot.
