I Am a Nobleman in England

Chapter 216: The wisest choice

In previous lives, it was not uncommon to subvert logic.

For example, the most typical example is that uber is the largest taxi company in the world, but the founder Kalanick is actually a code farmer and has no contact with the car rental industry at all.

Ali is the largest retailer in the world, but Jack Ma is a teacher who has taught English for 7 years. In fact, he is just a computer illiterate who knows neither IT nor the Internet.

The rise of Airbnb has made the hotel industry all over the world tremble with fear, but the founder is actually an artist who graduated from the famous Rhode Island School of Art and has nothing to do with the hotel industry

Wait, there are too many such examples, so the disruption in each field often does not come from regular internal iterations of the industry. On the contrary, all subversion comes from laymen who can't beat eight poles.

This is the unique "subversive logic" of this era of information explosion.

This subversive logic is mainly due to the fact that the cycle of knowledge updating is getting faster and faster. In the 18th century, the cycle of updating knowledge required 80 to 90 years. In the 19th century, this cycle was shortened to 30 years. Now, the cycle of updating knowledge in many disciplines is less than two years.

In other words, this is an era in which empiricism has completely lost its power. Because every two years, everyone's grades will be reset to zero. No matter how experienced an expert you are, you have to stand on the same starting line with the newcomers.

This is also a particularly cruel era, because no matter how brilliant you were, you may still be replaced in the next second. However, this is also a particularly beautiful era, because it is full of opportunities, and latecomers can also become leaders.

If you can't keep up with the trend of the times, if you can't be a subverter of the times, you can only become a victim of being subverted.

Of course, I don’t deny that cross-border crossing becomes bankrupt, and this goes back to interlacing like a mountain. If you want to succeed in cross-border, the prerequisite is that you must use a new perspective and great foresight under the correct cognitive framework. Perspective on this industry is the "layman's vision" that disruptors need to possess.

Similarly, a layman can also lead an expert, but the premise is to respect the expert. If you don't understand and don't have self-knowledge, it will be troublesome. You can't be jealous because others know more than you. As a boss, this is not only a kind of viciousness, but also a kind of self-confidence!

If a leader is only self-centered, it is not only easy to cause mistakes in decision-making, but also when employees are useless because they do not get the respect they deserve, the enthusiasm will be hit hard.

Only by respecting the experts,

It is a wise move for a leader to let the experts under him feel comfortable and do their best, and it is also the key to success in their careers!

"Some people may worry that if the boss is so young and doesn't understand technology, if I, a layman without professional knowledge, point fingers at you professionals, there will be troubles, failures, and you will feel aggrieved and depressed. Is it right?"

Standing in front of a table in the lobby of the game studio, Arthur sat leaning against the table, propped his hands on the table, looked at all the subordinates who were sitting in the hall with a smile on his face, and humorously said to himself, his words are also Many of his subordinates looked at each other with weird expressions on their faces, and some even lowered their heads to hide the slight smile on their faces. The silent scene made Arthur shake his head and laugh.

"In fact, it is very normal to have this kind of thinking, but I also have a different view. I want to say that our company's technology may become the best because I don't understand technology.

I don't understand technology, which leads to my respect for technology. Because we can't fight. But if I know technology well, you will be very sad, and I will tell you this and that. So because I don't understand, I looked at you with curiosity and admiration and said that I should do this."

"hehe"

As soon as Arthur's words fell, there was a good-hearted chuckle from the audience, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Looking at the smiles on the faces of his subordinates, Arthur continued to laugh.

"Of course, not knowing technology doesn't mean I don't respect technology. I can't quarrel with you technicians here. For you, the tragedy is that the boss doesn't know technology at all. The luckiest thing is that the boss doesn't know technology. If the boss You are very technically savvy, sitting next to you every day, you must not be able to do well, but fortunately, I have prepared a CEO who is technically savvy for you.”

"Papa--"

The applause sounded, and everyone in the game studio gave warm applause to their young boss.

Arthur raised his hands with a smile, pressed them down a few times, and then the applause slowly stopped. He continued to laugh, "Actually, it is easier for lay leaders to establish a democratic discussion atmosphere. Give you enough respect and space before you can Let go of your hands and feet and be bold and innovative.

Of course, my boss, besides paying you salaries, the most important job is to make myself the only tester of game products in the company, to be able to test whether the game is fun, because 80% of people follow me It's the same, we don't understand technology, and we are in awe of technology, as long as it is fun.

So, if Arthur Boleyn says it's not fun, no matter how good the technology used in this game is, it's nonsense! "

"Papa--"

At this time, the entire studio resounded with even more enthusiastic applause. Everyone stood up, with excited and excited expressions on their faces, and looked at the young boss who had been smiling with recognition and admiration. At this moment, they People's recognition and favorability for Arthur began to soar.

Nothing makes these code farmers happier than writing code in a free and relaxed working environment under an enlightened boss.

"Thank you. Alright, let's stop here for today's meeting. I won't waste everyone's time anymore. Everyone, go to work." Arthur smiled and stretched out his hand to wave his words. Accompanied by Edward, he walked out of the game studio.

"Boss, what you said is really good"

"Hehe." Hearing Edward's words, Arthur just shook his head and chuckled twice. To be honest, to make this group of IT elites willing to be loyal to him, a layman, is impossible without enough magnanimity and self-confidence. In contrast to technical geniuses, Arthur does not reject himself as a fool. Using a fool-like management method will make it easier to control this group of people.

"I'll leave it to you here."

"Don't worry, boss"

Back downstairs at the investment company's office, Arthur called Angela who was reviewing all the assets and financial status of the coastal power plant, and learned about the latest progress. After making sure that everything was going smoothly and orderly After progressing, he continued to rush to finish the first volume of "Fifty Shades of Grey" by the end of November.

To be honest, as a former Internet writer, it is not too difficult to write such a small essay about the domineering president Mary Su, not to mention creating 10,000 pages a day, five or six thousand is not a problem.

It's a pity that for Arthur now, being a writer is just a side job for him. It is impossible for him to devote himself to literary creation. There are too many distractions. He doesn't want to spend all his good time facing Boring, lonely code words.

So, when it was four o'clock in the afternoon, after confirming that the price of gold did not fluctuate much and remained at around US$1,084, he packed up his things, got on his bicycle, and rushed to the health club.

The coach Mark, who received the call, greeted him with a smile in the lobby. Arthur and Mark walked up to the second floor together, talking and laughing. Looking at the fitness equipment hall on the second floor, it was much more lively than last time. There are really many people.

"Trouble, please let me—"

Standing at the door, Arthur and Mark, who were watching the situation in the hall, were suddenly interrupted by a clear female voice. Arthur hurriedly stepped aside, turned around and said apologetically, "Sorry"

"Thank you, it's okay."

Arthur looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, no, it should be a beautiful girl, he was really amazed, such a strong career capital, and the ninth miracle career that he had personally researched, he did not give in!

Tall, with slender limbs without losing the sense of line, especially with an angelic face, a black vest and tight fitness pants, which outline her whole figure full of deadly youthfulness.

Watching the other party smile at him, and walking into the fitness hall quickly, Arthur looked at the pair of invincible long t-shirts and the graceful back, turned his head to look at the smiling black buddy, Coach Mark, and said "It seems that I chose your club, which is really the wisest choice!"
