On the morning of August 5, the entire Motorola Mobile Headquarters was immersed in a solemn atmosphere, which seemed very depressing and even made people feel breathless.

The company's employees are not as relaxed as usual. Some are lazily leaning on the chair, some are dazed in a daze, some are chatting together in groups, and some are even checking recruitment information on the recruitment website. Almost everyone has no work status and no one is at work.

The reason is very simple. As a great company that once was extremely brilliant, it has been acquired by a Chinese company. Many Motorola employees are unacceptable to it. It is like the royal princess married Wu Dalang and felt that his good cabbage was actually given to the pig. What makes them even more unacceptable is the radical reform measures implemented by the management team led by Hastings.

Just yesterday morning, the company's new eO Hastings said in an email to all employees of the company that the company will implement a salary reduction plan for management and cancel a series of benefits for employees, such as canceling round-trip shuttle buses and gym bathing services; for example, Motorola employees used to stay in five-star hotels on business trips, but now they are all replaced by ordinary hotels.

In addition, there are rumors that in order to save costs and improve the company's profitability, Motorola Mobile will lay off 30% of its employees.

Motorola has always been known for its high wages and high benefits. The new EO has to cut wages and cut benefits at the beginning, which makes it difficult for many people to accept, and the company may lay off employees on a large scale. Therefore, many people are uneasy and do not know where their future lies. Some employees even began to consider whether they should change companies.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ran and the top-level Century appeared downstairs of Motorola's office building. Zhang Ran came out of the car, stood in front of the building, looked up at the landmark building in Chicago in front of him, and looked at the Motorola Mobile Headquarters at the top of the building, and felt a little excited; Wu Ruide and his friends also had extremely joy on their faces.

When he walked into the building, took the elevator to the tenth floor, Zhang Ran saw the Hastings and Motorola management team waiting at the entrance and exit. When Hastings saw Zhang Ran and the others, he brought everyone to greet him.

After shaking hands with Zhang Ran and Wu Ruide, Hastings introduced: "Everyone, I believe you are familiar with this. This is Mr. Zhang Ran, chairman of Century Peak, and is also the new owner of Motorola Mobile. This EO Mr. Wu Ruide of Century Peak..." Immediately afterwards, he introduced Motorola's management to Zhang Ran and others: "This is Vanessa Wittman, the chief financial officer of Motorola Mobile trust, and previously served in Vidaxin Group; this is Mark Randall, the new chief operating officer, and previously worked at Nokia and Amazon. When he was at Amazon, Randall was responsible for the supply chain business of e-books and tablets, and was proficient in the Internet..."

After Zhang Ran and Wu Ruide shook hands with the management team, they walked towards the company surrounded by everyone. After entering the Motorola office area, Zhang Ran noticed that the Motorola employees present were not in high spirits, either unhappy, indifferent, or solemn, showing a strong unwelcome attitude. This unwelcome attitude is even stronger than when Zhang Ran came to sign the contract last time.

Zhang Ran turned to Hastings and said, "It seems that you have a lot of resistance to reform this time!"

Hastings also knew that the company's employees were dissatisfied with their policies, but he was extremely confident in his reforms and smiled and said, "There is no way. They are too proud in their hearts and look down on the peak of the century. Moreover, our reforms are very radical and have cut off too many benefits. They are naturally dissatisfied with you, the big boss!"

Zhang Ran smiled and nodded: "In the future, they will understand that everything today is correct!"

Zhang Ran is very supportive of Hastings' new policy, because according to data from Hastings' survey, Motorola's annual benefits total at least $20,000 per employee. Based on the company's approximately 190,000 employees, the company has to spend $3.8 billion on benefits every year. At this scale, as long as the benefits are reduced, the company's profits can be greatly improved.

Of course, in addition to reducing costs and improving the company's profitability, Hastings also hopes to use Thunder to make Motorola right its position. Although Century Peak acquired Motorola, Motorola people looked down on Century Peak, and felt that the princess was married to the richest man in Century Peak, and felt that engineer culture was the best. If Motorola was not allowed to put its position up and down, and do things lip service, the reform could not be carried out, and Zhang Ran's entire plan would not be promoted.

Six years ago, after Taiwan BenQ acquired Siemens' mobile phone business, the Siemens mobile phone department looked down on BenQ, and BenQ's various policies could not be implemented in Siemens. In the end, BenQ's acquisition ended in a crushing defeat.

When talking about the experience of failure, BenQ President later said that when a parent company of a weak culture manages employees of a strong culture, it must be decisive in doing things. If it needs to be cleaned, it must be cleaned as soon as possible.

Zhang Ran felt that this was very reasonable. He must not be gentle, respectful, frugal and concise in the management of Motorola. If he should use Thunder means, he must use Thunder means. The proud Motorola people must understand that Motorola Mobile is now just a subsidiary of the peak of the century, and now it is the peak of the century!

Of course, relying solely on toughness and suppression, just reducing welfare benefits will definitely not be managed well, which will lead to a large number of resignations of the company's employees and management; therefore, after suppressing and reducing welfare benefits, we must give everyone enough benefits to make them feel that there is hope for staying in the company, and even better than before, so that they can follow the company wholeheartedly, which is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Ran appears here.

If Hastings's methods were singing for the past, then Zhang Ran came here today and sang for the red face!

Under Hastings, Zhang Ran and Wu Ruide entered a large conference room, and an executive of the company quickly summoned some of the employees.

Hastings clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, I believe everyone knows the founder of youtube and fly, and the new boss of Motorola. Please invite Mr. Zhang Ran to speak now!"

There were sparse applause at the scene, and all the employees were very cold-hearted.

Zhang Ran looked around the office, glanced over the faces of each employee, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that everyone is not very welcome to my arrival! I know that everyone is very dissatisfied with the management's practice of reducing welfare, and is very worried about the company's future. He thinks that the management is messing around, and even many people are thinking about resigning and looking for a better company with welfare! But before everyone leaves, I hope everyone listens to the policies we will implement next!

Motorola has long formed a large pot of rice with high wages and high welfare. There is little difference between employees doing good and bad. Motorola's original intention is to avoid unnecessary comparisons between employees, and everyone has a relaxed and comfortable environment to work. However, this kind of high welfare of big pot of rice has long been no longer applicable. They can only raise lazy people. When the company's business situation is rising, everyone will be happy. Once the situation reverses, it will become a heavy burden for the company, and eventually drag the company and employees into the abyss. Now Motorola has fallen into the abyss. If you don't want to die, you must throw away this burden and move forward lightly."

Hastings and the management he formed were nodding. Everyone knew that Motorola would not survive without throwing away the burden of welfare; but the company's employees reacted very coldly and were indifferent to Zhang Ran's words. They loved Motorola very much. They also hoped that Motorola could be reborn, but it was absolutely unacceptable to cut off their welfare.

Zhang Ran knew that the employees couldn't listen and said with a smile: "I know that the benefits were cut, which made it difficult for everyone to accept, but what I want to tell you is that despite the huge cut of benefits, you have won the future. In the future, you may become millionaires, or even millionaires! Don't think I'm bragging. Last year, Fly went public and created more than 10 billionaires, more than 200 millionaires, and more than 1,000 millionaires. One-third of the employees of the entire company have become millionaires! Fly has a very popular application called viddy, and users can shoot lengths.

It is a 15-second video, and can add various filters, and then upload and share them on fly. This is an application developed by fly, because of this program, the six-person group has obtained enough equity. When fly is listed, they all became millionaires, with a combined net worth of more than 200 million US dollars! This scene may be reproduced in Motorola in the future! Because we will implement an option incentive plan! If you can produce enough excellent products, if you can achieve excellent results, you will receive options and dividend rewards!”

Motorola employees present were shocked and their ears were raised.

Zhang Ran continued: "In Motorola's history, there have been mobile phones that have amazed the world and even made the whole world crazy, such as the Blade Series. I don't know if the team developing the Blade Series is still there, nor do I know how many rewards they have received for developing the Blade Series. But if a team develops a popular product like the Blade Series in the future, the design team will receive enough options and dividend rewards, and the entire reward may be as high as hundreds of millions of dollars! The option incentive plan we are going to implement is not only for the design team, but for all employees. As long as you perform well, no matter you are a designer, a retail clerk, or an ordinary factory worker, you can obtain restricted stocks. The specific plan will be launched in the near future!"

"Wow!" The entire conference room was immediately in surprise. Many American companies have option incentive plans, but option incentives are mostly aimed at management and are often not related to ordinary employees. Now Zhang Ran has launched option incentive plans for all employees. The employees present are undoubtedly very excited, even a little excited.

Zhang Ran saw many employees present with surprise on their faces and smiled: "We believe that the most important resource and soul of Motorola Mobile is the company's employees, that is, you. This company is not only ours, but also yours. We hope that everyone will truly become the owners of the company and work together for the future of the company. If everyone cannot accept the company's new policies and want to leave the company, we will give it away! If everyone is willing to stay at Motorola and fight with us, then we welcome it! I have so much to say, thank you everyone!"

If someone from other companies hears that Motorola has implemented an option plan for all employees, it may not be up to date, because Motorola is in poor condition recently and is in a continuous loss, and it will be difficult to turn losses into profits in a short period of time.

However, Motorola Mobile's employees are not like this. They are very confident in Motorola. In their eyes, Samsung and Apple are all slacks and opportunists. Motorola's technology is still ahead of its own, but it is just temporarily in a difficult situation. As long as you find the right direction, you can get out of it quickly. In their eyes, Motorola is always full of hope.

Therefore, after Zhang Ran announced the option incentive plan, warm applause suddenly erupted in the entire office.
Chapter completed!
