Re: Zhang Xiaolong 49 years of age 240 million annual salary: determine the outcome of life is the 5 laws.
as Jobs's eastern believer, Zhang Xiaolong has always insisted on Minimalism.
"he is a dictator." Song Xuan, a former employee of the Guangzhou R & D department, said.
how much dictatorship does Zhang Xiaolong have?
he once gave an engineer nicknamed "gnawing" to develop 4 games a week, and the young man developed 4 "fighter" games in a week's time, including a color version, a black-and-white version of a nostalgic painting, and even a chicken, duck and other movement from time to time on the interface. For the player to shoot the funny edition for Zhang Xiaolong to choose.
the initial product development process is Zhang Xiaolong's general positioning and requirements for product managers, and then they show him the drawings. The results were unable to meet Zhang Xiaolong's needs. He asked the engineers to make the finished products directly, let him install it on the mobile phone, and then put forward specific revisions.
this is not the most complex and modified software developed by Zhang Xiaolong. Most of his products were allowed to go online thousands of times through the engineer, and the Jobs's Oriental believer was not allowed to have any defects in the product.
a button should be on the left or the right, and a few pixels to a picture, all of which he needs to think about for a long time. Small details are enough to make him and the product manager arguing all night. By the morning of the second day, the product managers will take the first amendment and the engineer to make the finished product and send it to Zhang Xiaolong.
once, Zhang Xiaolong asked a colleague, what is the modification of the conversation list of WeChat 3.1 and 3? The other person said he didn't see it. Chang: the height of each row in the conversation list is two pixels short.
inside, engineers say Zhang Xiaolong sometimes summon them to the office in the middle of the night or when products need urgent adjustment.
in this smoky, sweaty office, Zhang Xiaolong and product managers have released 90 WeChat updates on 6 mobile platforms, and almost every time it is updated, the office has a loud argument and a shout.
those who are paranoid are doomed not to be knocked down.
that year, apple co - founder Steve Wozniak was creating a game called Breakout, and he told Jobs it would take months, but Jobs stared at him and insisted that it could be completed within four days, and he could do that. Steve Wozniak knew it was impossible, but he finally finished it in four days.
because of this paranoia and persistence, Jobs, a grumpy and incommunicative man, still unites a group of the best people to work for him.
Why did people like Jobs, musk and Zhang Xiaolong succeed in the end? They all have the trait of being insane and paranoid.
some critics argue that Zhang Xiaolong's perfect product is based on the trial and error of spending the lives of employees, and Zhang Xiaolong's paranoid pursuit of the product is regarded by his opponents as a dictatorship. But even his opponents admit that "Zhang Xiaolong is an aggressive man, and a dictatorial dictator is an able product."
in order to meet the needs of users, he takes himself as a fool, "Jobs can instantly turn himself into a fool." I can't. I need 5 minutes to make a fool. It's only a simple thing that only a fool can use.
in order to reflect the humanization of the product, he called the user "you" into "you", "this is written in our product treaty." No one ever dared to be too respectful to the user in the product, because once we were too respectful to the user, we might have a goal and may need to cheat something.
in order to protect user privacy, he insists WeChat's system design does not retain user chat records, and resolutely does not infringe on user privacy. "We never send any harassment messages to users. You can recall that in WeChat, has received any marketing information issued by a system, should not be. "
every time, Zhang Xiaolong tried his best.
for the first time I realized that paranoia is a successful pass ticket for a successful entrepreneur. A man who is driven by ideals will be careful, tireless and insane, because he can not accept mediocrity and imperfection.
