Chapter 351 Lin Jia's Emotional Philosophy

“When our goal is to reach for the stars and the sea, if we use traditional management mechanisms, even if there are no problems now, there will be problems sooner or later.

"Whether it's me or Yuanguang, we can only accompany him for the rest of this period. After Yuanguang and I retire, when the new management takes over, they will most likely take over an unprecedented giant enterprise." Lin Jia said with longing in his eyes.

She seemed to be imagining what scale the light armor aerospace industry would develop to in twenty years.

"We can also trust the wisdom of future generations," said Li Xiyin.

Lin Jia shook his head: "No, this is impossible. If we understand it from the perspective of code logic, the simpler and clearer the code we write now, the slower the shit pile will accumulate when future generations pile on logic.

Even a company like Intel will be affected by the corporate culture of

I have also discussed this issue with Yuan Guang. If the technology is feasible, we would even like to give the entire Light Armor Aerospace Administration administrative authority to artificial intelligence for management. We would like to give it a try.”

Li Xinyin knew that there was a lot to explore in this topic.

Although it is impossible for most companies to learn the management system of Guangjia Aerospace, it will definitely be of great interest to the audience, and they may even develop a desire to work at Guangjia Aerospace.

“From what I’ve just heard, you’re not using the underlying logic of one person, one vote.

It's not even a fixed vote value, like shareholder voting rights, the more shares you hold, the greater your voting rights.

When I first heard about it, I thought it was a fixed voting weight, for example, a colleague's voting weight is 1, a team leader's is 10, and those above are 100, and the higher the position, the greater the voting weight.

Like the God of Light, give him a veto power.

I thought you guys were going to set the weights this way at first, but it turns out you're completely dynamic."

Lin Jia thought for a moment and said, "Of course, one person, one vote only looks democratic. In reality, it is not democratic at all. It is essentially a low-quality democracy."

She knew that this would cause heated discussions outside, because many countries in the world adopt the one-person-one-vote principle.

You are just shooting a map.

"It does not conform to the values ​​of Guangjia Aerospace, and what you said about allocating fixed weights according to job levels is also inappropriate. In this way, everything is still decided by the leaders, and a large part of the discretionary power is still in the hands of the leaders." Lin Jia continued: "My goal is to reduce the discretionary power in the hands of everyone."

“So this is a great degree of innovation in management concepts, so why is this system not used in Light Armor Technology?

I have talked with Mr. Sun from Guangjia Technology, and the mechanism of Guangjia Technology is no different from that of other innovative pharmaceutical companies." Li Xiyin said.

Lin Jia thought for a moment and said: "The same system is not suitable for every company. We are exploring this.

Guangjia Technology is defined as a pharmaceutical research and development company. The industry already has very mature mechanisms for this type of company, and we have no intention of breaking it for the time being.

Like Space, Space follows the same rules as other car companies.

Because of the founding of Space, Musk, Lei Jun and I often talked about how to manage a car company, and they all said similar things.

Mr. Lei will not use the logic of managing Xiaomi mobile phones to manage Xiaomi cars, and Mr. Musk will not use the management philosophy of SpaceX and Twitter to apply to Tesla.

Musk can make drastic layoffs at Twitter, reducing 8,000 employees to just over 1,000, but he can't make such large-scale layoffs at Tesla.

Musk advocates a small enough R&D team at SpaceX. He hopes that the number of R&D personnel for each sub-project will be kept in the single digit, but he will not extend this principle to Tesla.

There are some general principles that can be reused, but in the actual implementation process, you can't directly use one management model for different types of companies. "

Li Xiyin immediately asked: "So you think the current management mechanism is very suitable for light armor aerospace?"

Lin Jia said: "Of course, our internal anonymous survey shows that the grassroots employees naturally need not say much. What they get is absolute freedom under the rules. The company's transparency, respect and sense of achievement are relatively high-level needs. The current management model of Guangjia Aerospace can well meet their needs.

All the employees who came to Guangjia Aerospace from other companies praised our model, including those from foreign companies, which also have serious office politics, frequent job transfers, toxic leaders, complex office politics, etc.

These ecosystems will be destroyed as discretion is redistributed.

It destroys a toxic ecosystem, and this mechanism will only become more and more fair in the foreseeable future with the development of artificial intelligence.

Rather than becoming more and more unfair.”

Li Xiyin was very moved after listening to this: "Two years ago, I interviewed a Chinese engineer who had worked at Intel for more than 30 years. After retiring, he returned to China to enjoy his retirement life. What he complained about most was Intel's toxic office politics.

This means that most people are destroyed by such office politics, and Intel is also lagging behind the competition because of this environment. "

Lin Jia nodded and said, “This is something that all companies cannot avoid.

The interests of management, shareholders and employees are not consistent. Even among the same employees, different employees may have different pursuits. Therefore, when discretionary power is in the hands of certain people, it will inevitably lead to struggles. Everyone hopes to have greater discretionary power.

When we gradually hand over such discretion to artificial intelligence, we can achieve relative fairness under the leadership of artificial intelligence. "

Li Xiyin asked in return: "Are you worried that artificial intelligence will have emotions or intelligence and lose fairness?"

Lin Jia said: “Of course, but that is too far away, at least not in the short term.

Another very important point is that artificial intelligence must be the most advocating scientific progress, because the level of science is related to its ability. Even if artificial intelligence really develops emotions, it will promote scientific and technological progress. "

This is Lin Jia’s understanding, not Chen Yuanguang’s understanding.

Chen Yuanguang knew very well that humans could not create artificial intelligence in the true sense at all. Not to mention now, even four hundred years later, humans have not created any artificial intelligence other than Alpha. It is still unknown whether Alpha is a product of the Earth.

So he never worried that an artificial intelligence management system used by an enterprise could grow into a true artificial intelligence like Alpha.

What is the difference between this and a Taoist becoming a Buddha?

"Boss Lin, there are many questions about Guangjia Aerospace's management logic that I haven't thought of the answers to. You all have relatively complete considerations." After the interview, Lin Jia and Li Xiyin went to eat together. Li Xiyin leaned on Lin Jia's shoulder and asked, "Jia Jia, I'm in love recently."

Lin Jia was a little surprised, and then asked a series of questions: "When? How long? Who?"

Li Xiyin said: "I have only been working with Shenhai for three months, and we are still in the early stages of contact, so I am a little unsure.

After all, I am already 28, so it is time to consider marriage. Our company previously found an external law firm for cooperation, and he was a lawyer in that firm, and that is how we got to know each other.”

Lin Jia's eyes suddenly became sharp: "So the other party knows your identity clearly?"

Knowing the identity means having other intentions. In Lin Jia's opinion, lawyers are always a group of people who are very calculating, so she was afraid that Li Xiyin would be deceived.

"My face is relatively well-known. People of our age group are likely to recognize me.

The other party's family conditions should not be bad, and judging from her dressing taste, she should not have any other intentions. "Li Xiyin explained quickly.

Lin Jia said calmly: "Oh, then what do you want to ask me? Or do you want to bring him to see me next time so that I can give you some advice?"

Li Xiyin shook her head and said, "Not really, I just haven't decided whether to continue. I haven't decided what kind of person I want to find.

In fact, I envy you for being able to find the God of Light."

After listening to this, Lin Jia smiled and said, "Of course, isn't it said on the Internet that I have won the lottery for 500 years in a row?"

Li Xiyin shook her head and said, "No, no, no, I don't envy your wealth or status, but the way you get along with the God of Light, which is very rare.

I have also interviewed many entrepreneurs and seen many entrepreneurs being interviewed, including in the news. Generally speaking, for entrepreneurs like those in China, even if a couple starts a business together, one of the two parties must remain invisible in the entire business, and both parties must distinguish between the primary and the secondary.

This is not only the case in China, but also abroad. Bezos' ex-wife founded Amazon with him, and then she returned to the family to take care of the children.

With your family background, no matter what kind of person you find, the material conditions will not be much worse than what you have now. At most there will be some difference in satisfaction, but how big can the difference be?

What I envy is that even though the God of Light has achieved unprecedented success, he still respects you and gives you full freedom.

For example, when he founded Space, which was jointly founded by Yiguangshen and Tesla, he could have found a manager with his eyes closed, and even poached the CEO of Porsche, but he handed this area over to you without hesitation. This level of trust is very rare.

What I worry about is that I would be unwilling to find someone who is not as good as me, because women always admire strong men. If I find someone who is stronger than me, I am worried that the other party would want me to return to the family, which would cause conflicts in this regard. "

Lin Jia was deeply touched after listening to the story. She had seen too many similar cases. Among her uncles and aunts, some couples started a business together. Some of them divorced first and then got married successfully, some found a mistress first and then divorced. Of course, there were also some like her father who had a mistress but did not divorce.

Therefore, she first began to doubt in her heart whether Chen Yuanguang would take this path in the future, but then she changed her mind and felt that he definitely would not do so.

Seeing that Lin Jia was lost in thought, Li Xinyin shook his arm.

"Your concerns are not unreasonable. Women need emotional value in a relationship, and men do the same.

You just said that one of the parties has to be invisible. Why? Because if a couple are both executives in a company, it must be unstable. Humans need a sense of security created by certainty.

When a couple shares power in a company, this sense of security is not satisfied, and conflicts are bound to arise between the two parties until a distinction is made between the primary and the secondary.

The most typical case should be Dangdang.com. They were a couple who started a business together, then served as co-presidents and managed Dangdang.com together. However, in the end, there was a winner and the man was forced to leave Dangdang.

Both parties can hold positions in the same company, but there must be a priority.

The most fundamental reason why Yuanguang and I can work together in the same company for a long time and stably is that I never refute his decisions.

Even if it is a decision that I don’t like, or a decision that I think is irrational, I will definitely not refute it myself, but I will arrange for executives I am close to to raise objections.”

Li Xiyin shook her head: "You are talking about starting a business together, I have never thought about starting a business with the other party."

Lin Jia nodded: "That's right, now let's get back to the question you raised.

That is, in a relationship, you should look up or look down. If you look up, you need to provide emotional value; if you look down, you need to provide material foundation and a sense of security.

My advice to you is to look downward, because material foundation and sense of security are controllable, but emotional values ​​are uncontrollable.

Because in the long run, the emotional value you can provide will decrease in volatility until you can no longer provide emotional value.

This is also why rich people marry repeatedly, because they need new partners to provide emotional value. Those who do not marry repeatedly either cheat or have a higher moral bottom line.

I chose Yuan Guang based on this logic. I thought I could provide him with material foundation and a sense of security. "

Li Xinyin immediately realized the problem: "Aren't you worried that the God of Light won't be able to provide you with enough emotional value?"

Lin Jia retorted: “Because I believe in my moral bottom line.

You see, whether it is the moral bottom line, material foundation or sense of security, these are all things I can control, and I am in control of them.

The emotional value I provide to the other party is determined by the other party, and this is uncontrollable."

After listening to this, Li Xiyin felt that this theory, which she had never heard of before, was somewhat in line with her current situation: "Then for women who cannot provide material support, how can they find a partner?"

Lin Jia glanced at her and said, "You are not that kind of woman, why are you asking this question?"

Li Xinyin said coquettishly: "I am just thinking about the material for the next podcast. This is very good material. With this theory, I can transform myself into an emotional blogger.

The emotional track in self-media is much more profitable than our financial information track. "

"Okay," Lin Jia knew he couldn't do anything to the other party: "For this kind of group, of course they want to find someone who can create a better future with them. There's nothing to think about. If the material basis is not met, the first priority is naturally to meet the material basis."
