This article is from the public number:Tencent Deep Web (ID:qqshenwang) author: the hot, original title” NetEase in the storm: electric business is sold, the game rest on our laurels, violence layoffs is not alone | deep web ” FIG from: Visual China
On November 23, a self-proclaimed work in Netease gamesThe five-year-old employee issued a document: “Netease layoffs, let the security guard out of the company. The nightmare I experienced in Netease! 》 (hereinafter referred to as “Netease layoffs”) ; on the same day, Netease Future Technology Summit opened in Hangzhou, according to media reports that AI, blockchain, cloud Computation, big data, etc. “hardcore technology products are debut.”
The future has not yet arrived, and Netease’s internal contradictions have been placed under a magnifying glass.
A few days ago, NetEase CFO Yang Zhaoyu announced at the analyst meeting after the earnings report that “the number of R&D personnel of the company is steadily increasing.” He further explained that after the summer recruitment season, “the company’s R&D personnel are more than the second quarter and the end of last year. There has been an increase, which has also broken some rumors about Netease layoffs in the media.”
But in Netease’s previous quarter (second quarter of 2019), it was also explicitly mentioned that the operating expenses were down. “The personnel cost has dropped slightly”.
The author of “Netease layoffs” “Your game, my heart” is by no means an isolated case. Many Netease employees have said that Leaving NetEase is because of unfair treatment.
A technical research and development in Hangzhou said that the departure was because the boss threatened to give the assessment D. “It will be forced to leave when it is time, and you can’t get any compensation, and it is hard to find a job.” Another Beijing The staff said that they were swearing by the former boss of Netease when they were being re-adjusted by the new company after the normal separation. “Fortunately, I kept all the records of my work at Netease before I stayed at the new owner.”
After the incident broke out, some senior Internet media people said that it is not uncommon for large companies to lay off employees. However, in China’s large Internet companies, Netease has done a very bad job in layoffs. “Everything starts from economic interests.”
A more important issue is the rush of emerging Internet companies..
For the article “Netease layoffs”, the technology research and development said that although he does not know who he is, this separation process is basically the same as his own, “the same is the accumulated annual leave requirement must be forced to rest, during the annual leave You are not allowed to find a new job, and it will not be converted into salary.” The technology research and development said that, more dramatic, “although at the time of the annual leave, I was nominally Netease, but the departure process has long been After I finished, I didn’t pay for my social insurance for the month.”
The future of NetEase
At present, among the listed technology companies in China, Ding Lei’s Netease ranks sixth, with Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan’s comments, Jingdong and Baidu in front of him. At the same time, Netease has similar market value with the market.
But whether it is compared with the old BAT or the newcomers, Jingdong, and many more, Netease is behind the times in terms of technology. Previously, Chinese technology companies have gone through several important technology inflection points. The first technology inflection point comes from the Internet and network transmission. Netease’s core technology is built around games and mailboxes. The second technology inflection point is the arrival of mobile Internet. Netease is in a small position. When it fell behind, it turned over again with games, cloud music and other projects, and occupied a place in the mobile Internet around mobile games.
In the latest era, almost all new technologies are built around the retail industry. Alibaba, the US group comment, Jingdong, and the fight are more than necessary. Tencent is also doing a lot of technical research and development around smart retail, Baidu’s Human technology cloud computing technology and the like also have a wide range of technical applications in the retail industry.
According to the Netease Future Technology Summit, the important directions for its research and development are game AI research, music AI personalized recommendation, blockchain application and game asset management, and 5G technology upgrade in content consumption experience.
Netease’s core technology is still revolving around mailboxes and games. In the latest basic technology, Netease has completely fallen behind, and NetEase is not seen in the fields of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and enterprise communications. Ding Lei under the storm, can you lead Netease out of the double pressure of performance and public opinion?
