Chapter 142 The First Firework

After sending Li Xiyin in, Lin Jia recalled the time when he and Chen Yuanguang first started their business.

Although the company hired Sun Renjie as general manager at that time, she was still considered a core executive and was responsible for many things.

She has always been in charge of the two most important areas: finance and personnel. During the actual management process, she found that it was completely different from what she had learned in school. Management is not at all like what is taught in the classroom and books.

Treating employees with a good attitude and a relaxed management atmosphere will not inspire their self-motivation. Instead, they will feel that you have room for negotiation and that your bottom line can be continuously pushed back.

When she returned to Hangzhou during the holiday, she talked about this topic with Lin Qinghua. After she told Lin Qinghua about her doubts, Lin Qinghua laughed:
"This is the most common mistake made by those who were parachuted into college. They believe in the management theory from abroad, which is people-oriented, focusing on employees' needs, motivations and psychological states, and paying more attention to the human factor.

Stimulate employee enthusiasm and creativity by meeting employee needs and increasing employee engagement.

Focus on motivating team members, promoting team performance by establishing a positive working atmosphere and effective communication, etc.

It also involves increasing employee engagement and involving employees in decision making and problem solving.

Do you think so too?"

Lin Jia said: "This is the behavioral management theory proposed by Mayo, and it is also one of the modern management schools. I refer to it in my management process."

Lin Qinghua waved his hand and said, "This stuff doesn't work in China. How many years have we entered the commercial society? Only forty years. How many years have they been using this stuff abroad? More than two hundred years.

Copying it will only lead to failure in local conditions.

In most domestic enterprises, there is only one set of management methods that works, and that is setting goals and applying emotions.”

This was the first time Lin Jia had heard of this statement. She knew what the first part about setting goals meant, but she had never heard of the second part about applying emotions. Lin Jia couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"How come I've never heard of this before?"

Lin Qinghua said: "Of course you haven't heard of it. You are my daughter. You started your own business right after graduation. You have never been an employee and have never had the experience of rising from the bottom.

If you had not started the business with Chen Yuanguang, I would have let you return to the family group and start as an employee. I would have taught you these tricks slowly. But now it seems that there is no chance for you to experience it yourself before I can teach you.

I can only talk about my own understanding of the management issue.

It is easy to understand how to set goals, including big goals, small goals, phased goals, goal breakdown, etc. Then assign the goals to the corresponding people and they have to complete them.

Emotional application means that your emotions are weapons, more powerful weapons than salary deductions and performance appraisals.

The application of emotions is a very effective management method in China. When you deliberately generate anger, it is easy for your subordinates to regard you as an authority, and their respect for you will increase.

Because the education that most Chinese people have received from childhood to adulthood is authoritarian education.

When you show anger, a conditioned thought loop is formed in their minds: you have the right to be angry because you are an authority.

If you are polite to him, it means that your status is lower than his. If you make demands on him, it means that your status is higher than his.

Emotions are used as tools to express specific emotions at specific times.

Make good use of your emotions so that others can accurately perceive your emotions.

From childhood to adulthood, you will often see me getting angry on the phone. In fact, I may not be really angry in my heart, but I have to let my subordinates accurately capture this signal so that things can move forward.

Back to the topic just now, why are emotions more effective than performance appraisal? Does anger have a more practical impact on subordinates than deducting their wages?

Yes, not having specific punishment for emotional expression is like loading a gun but not firing it. It is a threat to him and he will be afraid, but after you shoot him, he will be angry because of the pain, which is not so effective.

So there are two points, goals and emotions. Of course, if you are often angry, then your emotions must be more and more exaggerated to be effective, and use emotions reasonably. "

Lin Qinghua's point of view opened the door to a new world for Lin Jia. She murmured, "Could it be that my kindness to them is ineffective?"

Lin Qinghua said: "Maybe it works, but it requires too much from people, and it requires all employees to be highly self-motivated and grow up in a good environment.

Once there is one person who doesn't buy into this, he will interpret your leniency as tolerance and lack of authority, and then use your leniency to cheat and act slyly. If one person does this, he will quickly lead the entire team astray.

Therefore, the management method I proposed is the most effective. This is determined by the overall environment and cannot be changed by a single person. "

After reading the case, Lin Jia immediately understood what her father meant. "I believe this is effective. The problem is that we are a technology-based company. Will this management method erode the creativity of our employees?"

Lin Qinghua said: "Aren't you responsible for finance and human resources?
These two directions require execution, not creativity.”

Lin Jia: "Okay, what if I manage R&D and production in the future?"

Lin Qinghua said: “If you ask me, I would still use these two methods, but I am not sure about the employee structure of your R&D personnel.

If many of them are PhDs recruited from abroad and subconsciously understand this as PUA and develop a resistance, then let other executives play the bad guys and you play the role of calming them down.

My management theory is absolutely useful for the two areas you are currently involved in and can solve your current problems. As for whether it is still applicable to positions that require higher creativity, such as R&D, you can explore it in the future. "

Later, Lin Jia tried the method taught by Lin Qinghua. It was a time when her subordinates did not complete the plan she had made. After she lost her temper, she found that what she said, the questions she raised and the plans she made were much more effective.

This experience gave her a whole new understanding, so when she heard that Li Xinyin wanted to start a business, she told the other party to be result-oriented and not to bring previous thinking into the subsequent entrepreneurial process.

After leaving the human hibernation center, Lin Jia came to Huashan Hospital opposite. She had another purpose for coming this time, which was to meet the director of Huashan Hospital.

"Hello, Dean Huang, I am Lin Jia from Light Armor Technology."

Previously, Sun Renjie had been in charge of the cooperation with Huashan Hospital. Lin Jia took this opportunity to come here to get acquainted. In Shenhai, the director of Huashan Hospital is a very important network resource.

Especially since her parents moved to Shenhai after the discovery of room-temperature superconductivity, medical resources became more important to her. "Boss, after we got the detailed technical data of the Vulcan engine, we found that its stability comes from its unique structure.

It has thicker tube walls and a unique heat-protection cooling tube heating surface than traditional rocket engines, which allows it to accommodate more liquid oxygen flow.

We want to make modifications based on the Vulcan engine, but it is difficult to change its structure except by using new materials.

Because changing the structure will inevitably affect its stability, and make it lose its greatest advantage. "

Lin Tianmin reported to Chen Yuanguang via remote video.

Chen Yuanguang felt that in a sense, it was a good thing for him to leave the company temporarily, because he felt that both Guangjia Aerospace and Guangjia Technology had a serious dependence on Yuanguang.

His opinion would be sought for all matters, big or small, related to research. He would look up relevant information in the future and then tell employees which direction was more appropriate.

After his judgments were correct time and time again, the employees below him lost their ability to judge, or they no longer wanted to judge for themselves.

If you think about this problem yourself, you may make mistakes. If you ask Chen Yuanguang, not only will his accuracy be 100%, but even if he is wrong in direction, the boss will be blamed.

When he arrived in Mianyang, Chen Yuanguang found that the symptoms of these people had not subsided at all, and they even had to wait for his opinion in the remote video queue.

"What do you think?" Chen Yuanguang asked.

Lin Tianmin said: "We have the following solutions. One is to make only minor adjustments without changing its original structure. We can use better materials to replace the tube wall and other places on the existing basis, and then increase the fuel dosage to achieve the purpose of increasing thrust.

The second is to optimize based on the existing structure, also by using new materials, to achieve the goal of unchanged stability, changed structure and increased thrust.

The upper limit of two is larger than one. One has limited improvement, and two can be seen as us simply borrowing the design concept of the Vulcan engine to build our own rocket engine.

It will also be more difficult.”

Chen Yuanguang mentioned before that you can't rely entirely on me to think from scratch, you have to at least give me plans and let me choose the appropriate one from several plans.

Later, everyone would come with solutions, and of course Chen Yuanguang would often give solutions beyond their ideas.

“Let’s do it according to plan 2. After all, the Vulcan engine was developed thirty years ago, and we will have to redesign the engine eventually.

The Vulcan engine can only solve current problems, but it cannot help us solve future problems.

First, we will use the Vulcan engine to transform the Pathfinder II, and then use the Vulcan in parallel to make a reusable rocket with a larger carrying capacity than the Falcon 9. "

After thinking for a while, Chen Yuanguang said, "Let's do one and two in parallel.

The existing Vulcan engine will be used to transform the Pioneer 2 first. The new Pioneer 2 will first complete the short-term launch missions, including the European Space Agency's launch missions and the Tiangong-1 launch missions.

These space station transportation missions are critical to our experience.

Then, according to plan one, you will modify the Vulcan engine and use it on the Pioneer 3. At the same time, you will also do preliminary research on plan two.

With this arrangement, we can have the research arrangements and time schedule for rocket engines in the next three years.”

With just two or three sentences, Chen Yuanguang gave Guangjia Aerospace's rocket research and development team a rough three-year plan. Lin Tianmin nodded repeatedly after listening.

Chen Yuanguang smiled bitterly inwardly and said that he would let them figure it out themselves, but in the end it was me who provided the solution.

Chen Yuanguang was also helpless about this.

While Chen Yuanguang was living a stable semi-retirement life in Mianyang, China received good news one after another in the research and development of quantum computers.

Based on room-temperature superconducting technology, the number of quantum bits was first increased from the order of 1000 to the order of .

As mentioned earlier, when the number of quantum bits reaches more than 100,000, quantum computers will be able to evolve from solving a few specialized problems to solving general problems and become general-purpose computers.

Now it seems that we are very close.

Such a leap forward has been achieved in just half a year. You should know that the previous one thousand quantum bits were the product of the IBM laboratory in America, and the largest in China was only five hundred quantum bits.

This means that with the help of room-temperature superconductors, China has left IBM far behind in just half a year.

2024 is coming soon, and there will be many big events in 2024.

China's rapid progress in quantum computers has indeed given America a great shock. Even OpenAI and Nvidia's new computing graphics cards have not been able to save the situation.

Because at this rate of development, it won’t be long before China’s quantum computers can achieve overwhelming computing power.

Although GPUs have additional benefits specifically for deep learning, and deep learning frameworks have been optimized specifically for GPUs to improve the utilization of their parallel computing capabilities, this cannot be compared with the computing power of quantum computers, which is a million times greater than yours, so no amount of optimization will give you an advantage.

Just like no matter how hard a car tries to push its limits, it can never be faster than an airplane, friction is a different matter.

Under such pessimistic expectations, the market value of semiconductor companies such as Nvidia, Intel, and TSMC has continued to plummet.

Guangjia Aerospace welcomed its first explosion. The new Pioneer II based on the Vulcan engine exploded into a firework in mid-air, as a tribute to the arrival of the Year of the Dragon.

　There is more in the evening. Yesterday's was not too boring. I just wanted to write some plot transitions. The pace immediately quickened.
