Top of the big era

Next, it’s time for promotion and commendation.

It was originally held at the end of the year, before going public, to reward a wave of heroes who have made outstanding contributions to the development of Ziweixing.

It's a bit like when some local officials are transferred, they will quickly promote a large number of their cronies.

For many people, this may be their last promotion in their lives.

Going public brings not only financial changes, but also psychological changes.

Once Ziweixing is listed on the market, too many people will become wealthy overnight, lose the motivation to fight, and will not work as hard as in the past.

Many people will have to adjust their positions and retreat to the second line.

Once you retreat to the second line, it will be difficult to have any opportunities for promotion in this life.

Just like Cheng Binghao, who retired to the second line as the dean of the Academy of Engineering many years ago, further promotion is impossible.

This wave of commendations before listing is the last chance for many people. If they are commended, even if they take a back seat in the future, they will still be full of love for the company; if they are not commended, they will be somewhat unwilling and negative emotions will spread within the company.

There are also types of commendations.

For someone like Cheng Binghao, promotion is impossible, but he can be given a salary increase.

For people like Liang Rubo, a salary increase alone is definitely not enough. They also need promotion and option income.

This commendation was carried out in advance according to Zhou Buqi's request. It was a bit hasty, so the number of people was small. There were only 9 people, namely Guo Pengfei, Liang Rubo, Zhou Feng, Ji Zian and Wang Xiaochuan. They were all promoted from M7 to M8. Meng Houkun, Wang Jian, Nie Caijun and Jiang Zhiyong were all promoted from M6 to M7 respectively.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something else, but after the commendation meeting, there was an immediate effect.

Zhang Yiming and Liang Rubo found Zhou Buqi together, saying that he was the candidate sent to transform Yahoo! They found him!

"Oh?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "Who is it?"

Zhang Yiming said: "Zheng Xiaoli."

"Zheng Xiaoli?" Zhou Buqi was very familiar with this name, "The one in the search business?"

Zhang Yiming smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's her."

"How is she doing now?"

Zhou Buqi remembered Zheng Xiaoli, an excellent working woman, and even received her specially in the office last year. She was pregnant and had a miscarriage at the time. She accidentally fell and miscarried while working hard.

At that time, everyone in Ziweixing expressed concern about her body.

However, what impressed Zhou Buqi the most was that Zheng Xiaoli did not give up on herself at that time, and her mental state was still normal. She showed a strong side of a strong woman and even taught boss Zhou a lesson about women in the workplace. General attitudes towards the workplace, as well as some topics from a female perspective on gender equality in the workplace. (Chapter 2061)

"There is no problem with the body, but there is something wrong with the family." Zhang Yiming sighed, feeling somewhat helpless, "She and her lover have always wanted a child, but after the miscarriage, they were never able to have one. Later, conflicts arose between the couple. We got divorced last winter."

Zhou Buqi sighed and said: "The difficulties faced by women in the workplace are ten to a hundred times more difficult than those faced by men in the workplace."

Zhang Yiming said: "Because of this factor, she wanted to go out and change places. From this perspective, she has internal driving force."

Zhou Buqi asked: "How is her English?"

Zhang Yiming said: "It's not a problem, I have communicated with her... her English level is much better than mine."

"With your English proficiency..." Zhou Buqi looked at Liang Rubo next to him, "What about you? Have you talked to her too?"

Liang Rubo is the president of the new media business group and the president of Toutiao. He is actually a key link in transforming Yahoo into Toutiao, and he has a great say in this selection.

"Yes, we have communicated." Liang Rubo felt a little embarrassed, "My English is not very good, so I think Xiaoli's English level is much better than mine. She has never studied abroad, but according to herself, every time she travels to a foreign country, , she can act as a translator for others.”

Zhang Yiming said: "Last winter, Zheng Xiaoli got divorced. In order to appease her emotions and help her get over her emotional loss, the Weidian Business Group arranged for her to lead a team and take more than 30 outstanding employees to the United States at the end of the year. She was responsible for communicating with the foreigners throughout the paid trip, and I heard that everyone admired her."

Zhou Buqi then asked: "What level is she?"

Zhang Yiming said: "M6 is the vice president in charge of products of Weidian Business Group. In the past few years, Weidian's market share on the PC side has always been lower than Baidu, but on the mobile side under her leadership, Weidian's market share is far ahead , nearly 30 points more than Baidu. The transformation of the entire Weidian business group's products to mobile terminals was basically completed under her leadership. There is nothing to say about business capabilities."

Zhou Buqi was very worried, "If she leaves, will it affect the normal development of the Micro Point business group?"

Transforming Yahoo is certainly important.

But no matter how important it is, it is not as important as the steady and normal development of the Micropoint business group.

If you fail to transform Yahoo, you will fail.

Anyway, Yahoo is already like this. No matter how much it fails, it won’t fail. No matter how hard it is, it won’t matter. The Weidian Business Group is different. This is the business group with the largest number of employees in Ziweixing at present. It is a large business group formed by integrating the previous software business group and search business group.

There are so many excellent products under its umbrella, and there are as many as a dozen products that have outstanding performance on the mobile terminal, including WeiDian, WeiDian browser, WeiDian mobile assistant, WeiDian security guard, WeiDian antivirus, WeiDian input method, WeiDian Music, WeiDian Account Book, WeiDian Photo Album, WeiDian Map, WeiDian Translator, WeiDian Scanner, Meitu XiuXiu, etc.

Including the "Good Voice Karaoke" app that Zhou Buqi has paid special attention to, it has also been planned to be included in the Weidian business group, and Zheng Xiaoli will theoretically be in charge of it.

Zhang Yiming said: "There is definitely an impact, but now she wants to leave and start over in a different environment."

Liang Rubo said: "If the company intends to stop her and let her stay here, I think she should be able to accept it, but this is not a long-term solution after all. I heard from Xiaozhou that her state has obviously changed after the divorce."

Zhang Yiming added, "I heard from He Yang that because he was worried about her condition, the boat specially applied to assign a driver to her."

According to the company's regulations, only M9 and above levels will be assigned drivers by the company. In other words, there are only two people in the whole company who have drivers assigned by the company, one is Zhou Buqi and the other is Zhang Yiming.

Because at this level, part of it also represents the face of the company.

It's not appropriate to drive by yourself when going out for socializing or something.

For the rest, even He Yang of the M8 does not have a driver assigned by the company. The company has a driver class with seven or eight people, but they are all for public use. They can only be called when there is an urgent need to go out for business.

Wang Xiaochuan applied for an exclusive driver for Zheng Xiaoli, which can be regarded as the company making an exception for her.

This was the first time Zhou Buqi knew about this.

I think it's pretty good.

Although the company has rules and regulations, the rules and regulations are strict and outside the legal framework are human relationships. Whether it is legal principles or rules and regulations, the purpose is to make everyone better and better.

Zhou Buqi nodded, "If that's the case, there's no need to interfere with her choice. Have you talked to her?"

Zhang Yiming said: "We talked once."

Liang Rubo smiled and said: "I have chatted with her several times, mainly around products. She is indeed very capable in this area and has great ideas in mobile product design. There were a few moments where I even thought about Let her be in charge of Toutiao today."

Zhou Buqi said: "The transfer of work is not a trivial matter. From Ziweixing to Ziweixing International, this is a change of company. Don't rush, give her a few days to think about it."

Liang Rubo looked at him in surprise, "Don't you want to talk to her?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Let her think about it for a few more days. I will talk to her after I come back from the south. If she has decided to go out and is willing to shoulder the burden of transforming Yahoo, and you think it is appropriate, then Let her go! Don’t trust people you employ, and don’t trust people you doubt!”

Zhang Yiming nodded, "However, it is best to add another firewall."

"Oh?" Zhou Buqi was very curious, "How to add it?"

Zhang Yiming said: "From a business perspective, there is definitely no problem with Zheng Xiaoli. Although she has never worked in Toutiao, as long as she communicates more, she can definitely learn and gain more experience from Toutiao. The biggest One obstacle is that she has never studied abroad and does not know much about American culture, religion, and habits."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi agrees that this is indeed a difficulty that needs to be overcome.

Zhang Yiming said: "Although we all say that men and women are equal, women are relatively disadvantaged in the workplace, and we cannot ignore this situation. When we go to Yahoo, Zheng Xiaoli is an outsider and a woman, and she will lack authority. , it will be a big trouble to deal with so many complex problems within Yahoo. I am worried that she will not be able to cope with the harsh working environment, which will hinder her business development."

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, smiled and said, "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Yiming said: "Let Xu Liangjie go to Yahoo to be the president, in charge of the mobile business, and let Zheng Xiaoli work under Lao Xu. If there is trouble, let Lao Xu mediate. And...don't you have Thompson in your hand?" If you have a handle, then the CEO of Yahoo will definitely be very knowledgeable. With the two of them supporting her from the front, Zheng Xiaoli’s plan to transform Yahoo can be implemented relatively smoothly.”

Xu Liangjie previously worked at Ziweixing, and once competed with Zhang Yiming for the position of president. Later he was transferred to Ziweixing International, and now he is in charge of human resources. Because he has a technical background, he is better able to deal with the engineers in the company and promote the management of human resources from a business level.

Let him go to Yahoo to concurrently hold the position of president and be in charge of human resources, and many things will indeed be much easier to handle.

If there really is a thorn in Yahoo...

It just so happens that he can use his status as personnel manager to mobilize the other party, or even fire him on the spot.
