One Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty the Most Unscrupulous Company

And now those cloning experts in the review committee seem to have no scientific research results.

But they are, so far, the most forward-looking scientific masters in the world.

Standing on their shoulders, the scientific researchers in the company can avoid going astray and go faster and farther.

But now the company has to face the problem of how to liberate the innovation ability of the company's internal scientific research personnel.

Although He Xiaojun keeps complaining to himself now, saying that these experts are too strict.

Obviously, many scientific researchers in the company proposed many good ideas, but they were all rejected by them.

This is disrespect for scientific researchers.

But Xiao Feng knew that, in fact, it was only because those experts knew that even if these scientific researchers were really engaged in these projects.

In the end, there will definitely be no results. It's just a waste of time and money, so they will reject the ideas of these people.

Although the Ninth Laboratory is now making money every day, and is in a state of deep pockets.

But after all, they are not Europe, America and Japan, those companies with deep foundations and often backed by big consortiums.

People can accept hundreds of failures because they have a solid foundation and can afford it.

However, the foundation of the Ninth Laboratory is still very weak, and the consortium behind them is only in its infancy.

That's why Xiao Feng asked the review committee to strictly control the approval of scientific research projects.

On the one hand, he doesn't want to waste too much money on unpromising projects.

On the other hand, wasting too much time on a project that was doomed to failure was intolerable to him.

As for the scientific research projects proposed by many scientific researchers in the company, they really cannot stand scrutiny.

Xiao Feng felt that this was definitely not a problem with the researchers.

It should be said that, on the one hand, they have not adapted to the current approval system of the company, and they have not yet grasped the tastes of the experts in the approval committee.

On the other hand, the Ninth Laboratory has not yet found the instructions for the correct use of these researchers.

The same Chinese scientists with black hair and yellow skin, the same group of people in China,

Maybe you will just hang out in the laboratory for the rest of your life.

But why after arriving in the United States, the same group of people can burst out with extraordinary vitality and creativity?

We can look at the ranking list of experts in the field of life sciences in the United States, as well as the authoritative ranking list of scientists in the field of artificial intelligence.

We can find that many of the top ten are scientists who have gone abroad.

Why are they able to innovate when they come to the United States? And it can't be done in China?

When it came to the point, Xiao Feng felt that the current domestic scientific research environment is still too weak... I can't say it...

And the Ninth Laboratory is definitely not doing enough in this regard.

Otherwise, there are so many doctors and masters in the company, are they all fools?

You must know that there are thousands of these doctors and masters, and most of them graduated from prestigious schools.

There are more than a thousand graduates from prestigious overseas schools alone, and thousands of graduates from top domestic schools.

Being able to fight their way through such a fiercely competitive prestigious school is enough to show the strength of these people.

And now they are working diligently in the Ninth Laboratory, but Xiao Feng does not hope that such a technological elite will only end up as a submissive experimenter or a data copyist.

So how to stimulate the innovative ability of these people?

When it comes to the point, we should start with the company's management system.

Speaking of this, I have to mention that a legendary player in the industry is known as the most unprofessional 3M company.

In fact, before the pandemic, the deepest impression everyone had on this company was that it was a company that produced post-it notes and adhesive tape.

But after the outbreak of the pandemic, everyone realized that this company is the ancestor of medical N95 masks all over the world.

Even the most important filters in the artificial lungs used by many critically ill people are made by others.

Although there are many domestic companies claiming to be able to produce ECMO, but if there is no filter paper provided by 3M, their ventilators will not be able to operate normally.

And until this time, people realized that this 3M company is more powerful than great.

But who would have thought that this company, which was first established in Minnesota, was originally a coal mining enterprise.

His full name is Minnesota Mining and Machinery Manufacturing Company, which was originally established to mine coal.

The five founders invested in the establishment of this company, but because they did not understand the mining industry at all, the mining area they bought did not dig out coal at all.

Only corundum was dug up!

The five founders vomited blood, so they just bought corundum, and corundum can just be used to make grinding wheels for grinding.

Later, they invented sandpaper on this basis, and the purchases took off, and the company soon turned a profit.

Later, relying on the period of vigorous economic development in the United States, they embarked on a path of rapid development and expansion.

Especially during World War II, they relied on producing military supplies for the US government.

Not only made a lot of money, but also accumulated a lot of projects that I had no money to experiment with.

After World War II, they relied on the accumulation of this period to usher in a period of explosion.

Reflective paper, masking tape, double-sided tape, cellophane, audio tape, video tape, optical brightness enhancement film for LCD TVs, flexible circuits, etc...

Anyway, only you can't think of it, there is nothing they can't do.

And this company, relying on these miscellaneous and seemingly inconspicuous little inventions, has become a large company with an annual profit of 30 billion US dollars.

The reason why 3M can develop to today is that it has branches in more than 60 countries around the world, with more than 90,000 employees.

A large company with 60,000 product categories and an annual sales volume of more than 30 billion US dollars, all of which are inseparable from the founder of the company, William. McKnight.

It was this young man who became the general manager of the company at the age of twenty who proposed the famous 15 percent theory.

The core meaning of this theory is to allow the company's R&D personnel to spend 15% of their time each week on researching things they are interested in.

You must know that before that, many companies did not like the company's employees to think about it.

At that time, the bosses of American companies mostly liked their employees to complete the work they assigned step by step, and they did not allow employees to waste time doing what they liked to do.

If an employee did that, it would be considered private work.

If it is light, it will be criticized and fined, and a review report will be written. If it is serious, it will be fired... Everyone knows...

But after this William took office, he felt that he couldn't go on like this.

So he put forward a bold idea, let employees spend 15% of their time every week to study their favorite affairs.

Of course this rule only applies to developers...

So the company soon had a new product, abrasive gauze, and then scotch tape, then masking tape, reflective tape, and then tape recorders, tapes, video tapes, and so on.

Even today, 3M company still retains the rules to encourage employees to innovate.

Later, many large technology companies in the United States also learned the management rules of 3M, and only then did they have the achievements and vitality they have today.

Such as Google, and Apple.

Of course, learning some 3M management methods, there are good and bad in the end.

For example, Apple has learned well. Their IOS, etc., and many other products are created and invented by employees with reference to 3M's management model.

As for Google, it can only be said to be average.

It can't be said that they learned 3M's management model, but there was no result.

For example, Android is the most successful result of their study of the 3M management model.

But for example, their autopilot technology is the most failed result after they learned the 3M management model.

And there are two reasons for this.

On the one hand, it is because Google has had a difficult time since its inception, and the rest of the time has been smooth sailing.

Especially after their company went public, the company's share price skyrocketed all the way.

Because of the crazy pursuit of those investors, Google has never been short of money.

Therefore, when encouraging employees to engage in creative research and development, they have always been extravagant.

The second is that their review mechanism is quite unqualified. Of course, this is from Xiao Feng's point of view.

Because all their review agencies, when reviewing the company's internal projects, are so serious if they are serious.

They will not have so many failed projects in the later stage.

Of course, Google will never bring up those failed projects to discuss, because any one of them will be mixed with losses and will seriously affect the stock price.

But who made them an American company, and the founder of the company was Jewish.

So this company has been the darling of the Wall Street Jewish consortium since its inception.

In addition, in recent years, all parts of the world have not been very peaceful. Even in old Europe, there are often frequent outbreaks of friction and a large influx of refugees.

This has brought instability to the local political situation.

As a result, international hot money has entered the United States to avoid risks, and in the capital market of the United States, what is more worthy of pursuit than Google and Apple stocks?

So even though Google has invested in many failed projects, they are never short of money.

It has never even been abandoned by shareholders.

But that's because they are rich and powerful, and there is a consortium behind them to support them.

In China, however, the Ninth Laboratory did not dare to do that.

What Xiao Feng has to do is to let the company learn from 3M, but also to grasp the balance in the middle.

Now the Ninth Laboratory, and even technology companies across the country, lack the most is this kind of liberation for employees.

In other companies, the goal is to learn the management experience of large European and American companies and chase their high salaries.

But Xiao Feng thinks, in fact, what we should learn most from others is this kind: the spirit of encouraging adventure and tolerating failure!

Only by achieving the above two points can we be qualified to talk about innovation!
