Let’s divide many areas to help you store more books, the remaining compartments can also be used as a place to store other items. Bookshelf from the pinboard You can design a bookshelf from round or undulating wood, then use a skewer to thread it so you can own yourself a quite unique and strange bookshelf. Equally interesting is that you can change the skewers regularly to transform into a bookshelf with a different design. Too great, right.

This idea both creates ventilation and helps the house increase storage capacity. This will be a place to display books, personal items, even favorite works. Bookshelf “wooden stairs” Warm solid wood adds sophistication with its step-like design, while adding functionality with a multi-purpose table design that extends from the wall using a steel frame to hold it. This bookshelf idea will help give you a more modern and chic space. Simple bookshelf Simple but complete and equally sophisticated. Design a reading nook next to the window by making a couch with soft cushions, place 4-5 large pillows and choose double curtains to filter out daylight. It also creates privacy. With such a simple way, anyone can own a bookshelf like that. Bookshelf “weighing floor” This idea is dedicated to those who like style, love art. The “weighs” are turned into impressive bookshelves – a place to store valuable books.

Stained glass windows: Of course, not all windows can be made with stained glass. But if there is a chance, why not use it? This option is perfect for small windows on the sunny side of the house. Stained glass windows make the interior feel cozy and make the room look larger. Plants: This solution is great for those who love to see the freshness of indoor plants. Of course, only plants that are resistant to high heat are suitable for placing in windows. But even the toughest plants may not do well in direct sunlight, so this alternative to curtains will only work for windows on the shaded side of your home. String Lights: Who says you can only decorate your windows with string lights at Christmas? In fact, the window is decorated with lights that will make you extremely happy at any time of the year. You can choose the color, brightness, length or number of wires according to your preference. Craft Coating: This idea to decorate your windows is suitable for people who like to do crafts. The coating can be easily removed and reassembled, does not damage the glass and is environmentally friendly. Besides, the method is also quite easy and simple, you only need tulle, starch and water. Frosted or Film Glass: This solution is good for those with windows overlooking the next house or bathroom. A sufficient amount of light penetrates the frosted glass so that the room has enough light, without using curtains. However, you won’t be able to see your surroundings through this glass and if you don’t want to risk and have to change the glass, you can buy a plastic film that can be glued to the window glass. Decorative Film: This is an easy and inexpensive way to cover glass without resorting to curtains. Window films come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes – from very small and modest panels that cover only a small portion of a window to large and bright panels. For the nursery they can have cartoon characters, for the bedroom they can have a neutral texture. Macrame blinds: Looks like this window decor hasn’t gone out of style yet. If this alternative is right for your interior, then we definitely recommend you to try it, because it is completely unfair that so few people can admire this beauty in their windows now. . You can buy a pre-made macrame curtain or you can make one yourself – as a more fun alternative. Relaxing corner: If you like sitting by the window with a cup of tea and a book, then this option is definitely for you. Sometimes you should risk leaving the window open completely without framing it with any curtains. You can make a large, wide windowsill where you can sit or even lie down comfortably. This solution will be especially good in your interior if your windows are large enough and overlook your own yard or garden.

Recently, giant Nguyen Phuong Hang said that he is considering closing Dai Nam tourist area after many storms related to her livestream on social networks in the past time. Photo: Law & readers In the flashbacks of this enthusiastic work, Phuong Hang revealed that the idea of ​​​​making Dai Nam Racecourse in Dai Nam tourist area appeared spontaneously. Photo: Dainam Accordingly, Dai Nam Racecourse was the idea that was conceived and implemented in less than…24 hours. Derived from Nguyen Phuong Hang’s desire to invest in sports development besides existing tourism. In the next day, Mr. Huynh Uy Dung – Chairman of the Board of Directors ordered the project to be carried out. Photo: Dainam Built on a land plot with a total area of ​​60 hectares located in the tourist area, Dai Nam Racecourse includes 5 different running tracks and racecourses. Photo: Dainam In particular, the horse racing track is 1.6km long and 16m wide on a smooth sand surface. The motorbike & go-kart track is 2.2km long, with 15 different left and right turns on an international standard polymer plastic surface.

One way you can significantly increase storage space is to install built-in wardrobes around the bed. In addition to the benefit of using space, you can easily get things right under the bed or the upper drawers. If you want to create a highlight for the bedroom space, you can use the floating color on the backdrop of the bed as shown in the picture. Another way to create optimal space in the bedroom with a system of long built-in cabinets, covering the wall, integrated storage drawers and even table lamps are always attached to the cabinet system. 2. Expand the kitchen space The owner of the house cleverly took advantage of the stairs to subtly expand the kitchen table area, both making the kitchen space more interesting and creating an area to display collectibles. 3. Opening price You can also install shelves close to the wall with a simple design and create more space for light to enter the room. The simple design with spacious display compartments will avoid the feeling of a ‘full’ space. 4. Make use of under the stairs Under the stairs can be an ideal storage place for large, frequently used items. You can also divide the under the stairs into many compartments with different heights to easily arrange the furniture in the most appropriate and effective way. 5. Built-in cabinet with desk You can completely arrange a work space at home with desks and chairs attached to the cabinet frame. One trick is to use the same materials as the cabinets and use a simple design for both the cabinet and the desk. 6. Take advantage of the smart wall The wall-mounted dining table layout is a great idea for small kitchen spaces as it allows you to have enough seating while not taking up too much space and making the kitchen feel cramped. The curves of the seat are also a great idea: it makes the space seem larger, and at the same time makes the seat both comfortable and convenient. 7. Built in bathroom cabinet Built-in cabinets in the bathroom allow you to optimize the usable area while still having all the necessary items in a convenient and neat way. You should use wood materials that are resistant to temperature and humidity to increase the durability of the object. 8. Transparent cabinet system: You can install a system of cabinets running throughout from the kitchen area to the living room to create storage space. This approach also has the added benefit of creating a clear view of the house. You can use different paint colors for the cabinet system to separate the cabinets in the kitchen space and the furniture for the relaxing space. If you really have a great need for storage space, you can refer to the way the homeowner in the photo arranges a large, massive wall cabinet system, extending from the kitchen area to the end of the living room. The open space will be smaller but in return, you have enough space for all the furniture you have.

The images on the patent show a phone with a triple camera module at the back, with the top camera able to rotate between front and back positions. When in selfie mode, the camera will turn inward and the display area around the camera will be disabled so that light can reach the sensor. A magnetic or mechanical mechanism will help rotate the camera. Realme launched a smartphone with 5,000 mAh battery, 33W charging, 90Hz screen, 6 GB RAM, priced at more than 4 million VND This design will bring a number of advantages over the product. The first thing to know is that it will enhance the quality of selfies. The selfie camera is rarely on par with the rear camera when it comes to imaging performance, not to mention that the under-display camera can be at an even greater disadvantage than the traditional selfie camera. By rotating the main camera from the rear module, Xiaomi can improve the performance of the selfie camera without paying extra for a better selfie camera. Taking advantage of the rear camera not only saves money on buying a high-end camera sensor, but it can also help utilize the space inside to increase battery capacity. Waterproof smartphone, S888 chip, 12 GB RAM, 240Hz screen, 2,000 nits brightness However, it also leads to a few downsides. A rotating camera will also need additional components for it to rotate, so it will lead to a waste of battery space. Rotating the lens inside the phone can have an additional side effect that the camera part may have to be even thicker to be able to rotate the lens – which was already thick. Detailed photos of Asus ZenFone 8 Flip: ‘super terrible’ configuration, 5,000 mAh battery, 90Hz screen, rotating camera, priced at more than 22 million Xiaomi’s invention idea. Finally, some glitches with the rotating camera can also occur. A flip camera with moving parts can always be damaged and that is the main concern when sliding camera systems in the past have always had certain problems. As everything happens inside the phone, it means that if there is debris happening inside the mechanism, it will force deep intervention into the hardware. See the waterproof smartphone, the world’s best screen, S888 chip, 12 GB RAM, ‘super big’ camera Like other patented technologies, it is unclear if Xiaomi will put this technology into actual products. In fact, Apple has also researched a mirror system that illuminates from the front and rear cameras into the same sensor through a patent in 2015, but this mechanism has not been implemented by Apple so far. on its products.

1. Joy Mangano and the Miracle Mop Joy Mangano invented the Miracle Mop, a mop that can be easily wrung dry without getting the user’s hands wet. The idea for this mop came about when Joy was cleaning up broken wine glasses on the floor. She came up with the idea of ​​​​creating a mop that had never been seen before – a self-squeezing broom, with a removable brush head for washing. Joy sold her invention at trade shows, and by 1995, she had made her first $1 million. Since then, Joy has invented and patented over 100 different useful things like the Huggable Hangers, Forever Fragrant, The Clothes It All Luggage System suitcase and many more. In 2015, her biopic was released starring Jennifer Lawrence. And Joy’s fortune was also up to 50 million dollars at that time. 2. Guy Laliberté and the Cirque du Soleil . Circus Guy Laliberté used to be a street performer and one day he came up with the idea of ​​creating his own circus, with the idea of ​​performing dangerous and crazy acrobatics, instead of the peaceful animal circus that was popular. variable then. And his circus, Cirque du Soleil, has been famous for its hit shows since 1984. Cirque du Soleil has received numerous awards around the world and is starred on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Thanks to that, Guy Laliberté made several billion dollars and became one of the first space tourists. 3. Richard T. James and the rainbow spring the slinky When it comes to the 90s, we can’t help but nostalgic for the rainbow spring toy. This was invented by Richard T. James in 1943. He was a naval engineer and at that time, James was focusing on developing a system that could support and support sensitive parts of the ship. . This device has a spiral spring shape made from metal. In a time when he accidentally dropped a set of springs from a shelf, he noticed that it did not fall directly to the floor, but automatically bounced up and down, rolling many times through the shelves, and then plunging to the floor, stimulating the senses. James’s curiosity. And that was the beginning of his big and successful business idea. Originally slinky was manufactured using ferrous metal. James did not stop making improvements and turned Slinky into one of the hottest toys at that time. He sold over 100 million Slinkys in the first two years of production. When he kept the toy price at 1 USD (about 22,500 VND at current exchange rates), he made a revenue equivalent to 1 billion USD (more than 22,500 billion VND). In the 70s, a colorful plastic version of Slinky was born with the idea of ​​​​Betty-wife James. She took the prototype from the traditional Slinky and developed it into a product “expensive like hot cakes”. 4. Gary Dahl and his pet rock pet Rock Pet Rock’s success stemmed from a joke. The future founder of the company decided that it would be fun to have a stone as a pet! This idea became a ‘silver bullet’ in 1975 and brought Gary millions of dollars. The rocks are sold in small cardboard cribs, to allow ventilation and an extra straw nest for the little ones to feel comfortable. Buyers are taught how to care for the stone, how to walk it, and what to do if it gets sick or dies. And Pet Rock became popular again in 2012. 5. Byron Reese and Santa’s Mailing Service (SantaMail) Byron founded the company SantaMail in 2001. He set up an address in the North Pole (a town in Alaska) and sent letters to children from Santa Claus at the request of their parents. Since 2002, Santa Mail has been sending children’s individual letters with their names and a postmark from a town in the northernmost tip of Alaska. The cost of each service is $10. And 300,000 letters have been sent since SantaMail was founded, showing that this is a smart idea.

Here are some suggestions for some open space design ideas for you today: Architect Bui The Long, CTA | Creative Architects, said: to create open space for villas is relatively easy, but for townhouses and apartments, open space is something that requires a lot of thought. Because in an open space, safety and privacy are things to keep in mind. For long townhouses, separating the spaces and then intermingling with green areas, the open space has the most area exposed to natural light. Here is a solution with many variations to liven up your living space. The interweaving of open spaces according to the area from the top down is often combined with skylights and vertical traffic is a staircase that contributes to expanding the space, bringing as much space as possible. Common living space, living room, dining table or playground are often arranged in the above area. The bedrooms will be surrounded to increase family connection. T-house project with open space combining stairs, atrium and living room. In addition, architect Bui The Long said that the open space along the length of the house is also a good idea. The open space with green trees will connect the used spaces into a continuous strip, ensuring that every area of ​​the house is in contact with nature and the garden. However, this idea needs the width of the house to be wide enough to design. Another idea about open spaces along the length of the house is that these spaces will be staggered. Between the openings between the function rooms will be the garden, trees. These small gardens will be scattered throughout the house, also bringing nature to all living spaces. In addition, the open space can be reduced but still need spaces such as the arrangement along the traffic corridor, the stair landing area is large enough. The bedrooms at the end of the house can design a bathroom that opens to a green garden, connecting with the bedroom without a wall, which will help expand the space, increase utility but still be private and safe.

If you have not been able to buy yourself a satisfactory bookshelf, do not ignore the idea with plastic containers. Arrange the plastic bins linked together with the facing direction and then attach the wheels for convenience when moving, then select and arrange books and items into separate boxes for easy removal and storage. use. Too simple and convenient, right? TV shelf with large storage space The TV shelf is not only a place to put the TV, but also helps to store many electrical appliances, remote controls, as well as small items such as keys, wallets… so stuffy, stuffy. Using plastic containers plus simple layering skills will give you a nice shelf that can store those sundries. Turns into a small chair that can hold things You should notice when going to the market, sellers often use plastic crates like this and are packed on a simple wooden plank to replace a small chair. This idea is both comfortable to sit and work, easy to move and sure, waterproof and sunlight. The idea of ​​that plastic container can also be used by families who like outdoor activities, camping, picnics… At the same time, you can take advantage of it to store small items on the inside of the seat. Cart The original function of the plastic container is to store things. The material itself is designed to be highly impact resistant, not easy to break, crack. Instead of storing a crate, turn it into a row of crates and add a pair of wheels to turn them into a trolley. Very convenient to store a lot of things easily while moving heavy objects. Cat bed If you have a cat in your home, you know that they like to sleep in tight spaces, whether it’s in a closet, under a desk, or even in an inconvenient crate.

MIT has developed a new light-sensitive paint that makes it possible to quickly and easily change colors and textures. Moreover, this type of paint is not expensive. The gecko statue changes color thanks to paint researched by MIT. Photo: MIT. Called ChromoUpdate, MIT’s paint is applied to any product. This paint color is usually quite clean. But when placed under specific frequencies of light, it reveals the underlying pigments. Under UV light, the paint turns black. Within 60 seconds, UV can create gray-toned textures on painted surfaces, anything from printed text to hilly landscapes in high-resolution detail. These patterns continue to remain on the surface after the UV irradiation is stopped. In addition to the gray tone, MIT’s paint has a number of other colors such as CMY color group (green, magenta and yellow). These colors can be mixed together to create a paint that shows all 3 colors at once. To display colors, the researchers shined RGB (red, green, blue) light on the paint, converting the paint to colors that resemble the rays of the light falling on them. This process takes a period of 10 minutes or so for the vignettes to display the correct colors. According to Mr. Michael Wessely, postdoctoral fellow and project research leader, the use of color-changing paint has many benefits. Designers can check products quickly and change colors or textures in minutes. Place the UV projector close to the visible light projector and swivel base to support the object. Photo: MIT. From a broader perspective, Mr. Wessely imagines quickly projecting data onto everyday objects making smarthome systems “smarter” without the need for additional screens in the home. His team has proven they can print text and images right on a cup. For example, you can print a schedule on a cup of water or a reminder on a coffee cup to know when the next meeting is. Besides, people can refurbish their iPhone cases at any time. Instead of buying a new case, users can refresh the old case with their favorite images taken on the internet. According to the Fastcompany , while the color-changing cases are quite attractive, the work has a long way to go before it achieves success in consumer products. UV rays can be dangerous when in contact with the skin, which is why the MIT researchers used a special UV box to house the projector. In areas specializing in the production of color-changing cases, they are fully equipped with safe and convenient machines, so this is no longer a difficult challenge. However, for others, this option is quite expensive and cumbersome, so not many people will invest in this paint and hope to apply it to products such as bumpers, car covers, etc. The second problem is that these designs will fade over time, because UV rays are everywhere. Mr. Wessely said the paint can maintain color and contrast for about 2 days in an office environment, which is already away from the sun (which contains UV rays). If you take out the products that are coated with color-changing paint, it will significantly shorten the color fastness time. Color changing phone cases. Photo: MIT. While the idea of ​​painting a new design on an iPhone case or coffee cup will help with the problem of fading, this habit may be difficult for many people to maintain. Another more desirable aspect that Mr. Wessely’s team is working on is bringing color-changing paint technology to the fashion sector. They are developing fibers that can be re-woven into anything like clothing or shoes… with properties like light-sensitive dyes. This led Mr Wessely to believe that they could integrate tiny light bulbs into clothing that would make the wearer stand out. In this case, when the light is in close contact with the dye, the discoloration process is more efficient. “We can make the color change instantaneously, even under a second,” says Wessely. Besides, he said it is possible to use a coating that absorbs ultraviolet rays. Imagine a t-shirt that changes to a new slogan every hour, or a purse that changes color to match that day’s outfit. To create such a product, the team would have to create specialized yarns and a software that can put printed patterns onto textiles; This fabric can stretch and contour the human body. According to the Fastcompany , this idea is not easy to implement, partly because the field is relatively young. “Usually you have 10 years of studying something. But we are only just beginning to explore this new field,” said Wessely.

Dr. Duncan MacDougall and article on his soul weighing experiment. There have been several attempts to verify the existence of the soul, notably experiments by a famous doctor, to find out how much it weighs. Strange experiment Dr. Duncan MacDougall is a wealthy and respected physician in Haverhill (Massachusetts, USA). He has his own clinic and works at a medical facility called the Cullis Consumptives’ Home, which is for end-stage cases. In 1901, he came up with a strange idea, that is to determine whether the soul has or not, and if so, how much weight. MacDougall began experimenting on six patients who had lost hope of being cured. Four people with tuberculosis, one with diabetes and one with an unidentified disease, all of which did not last long in this world. He spent a lot of time recruiting only “patient who died of a debilitating illness, death with little or no muscle movement, because in that case the weight could be kept.” equal to more perfect and any loss that happens is ready to be noted ”. To make sure there were no mistakes, he meticulously measured a person’s weight before death, even noting slight changes in sweat and urine output. When the patients are dying, their entire beds are placed on an industrial-sized Fairbanks scale, with a sensitivity of 5.6 g. Along with four other doctors, MacDougall carefully recorded the weight changes of patients before and after their deaths. For the first patient, the weight loss observed immediately after apnea was 21g. A piece in the New York Times on March 11, 1907 recorded this moment: “When life ended, the weight of the needle suddenly dropped, as if something had just separated from the body. Immediately the usual post-mortem mass losses were calculated, but still 21 g was missing. According to MacDougall, this weight loss is not possible from the evaporation of moisture and sweat through the inhalation. The amount of air in his lungs was not the reason he brought air back to the patient’s body but the needle on the scale remained the same. Wastes or urine, if released, remain in bed and can only affect weight by slowly evaporating. MacDougall thinks this is an extremely promising development, and he does a similar procedure with the rest of the patient but the results are not the same. In the third patient there was a strange change that body mass did not change immediately after death but a minute later, body weight was reduced by 21g. The team only measured results from 4 patients, 2 of whom died before they could install the device. He then repeated his experiments with 15 dogs and found that they had no change in weight at the time of death. This was completely consistent with his belief that dogs had no soul. Later, a physics teacher at the Los Angeles Polytechnic School, USA also tried to conduct a similar experiment on mice in 1917. The results were consistent with the experiment of Dr. MacDougall, there was no deviation of weight when the rats died. How real? The scale used to weigh the soul. MacDougall’s research has caused a stir through articles in The New York Times, Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research and American Medicine. Many see this as evidence of the existence of the human soul, but others disagree. The limitation of the experimental subject has been criticized, while his methods are considered unscientific. For the general scientific community, the experiment has many shortcomings and has no real value. Some scientists point out that at the time of death, the lungs stop cooling the blood, causing the body temperature to rise slightly, the skin sweating – 21g in Dr. MacDougall’s experiment. At the same time, dogs do not have sweat glands, so they do not lose weight in this way after death. Despite these harsh criticisms, MacDougall defended his position, even conducting an experiment to photograph the human soul in 1911, but to no avail. After that, he almost fell into darkness, giving up experiments that proved humans have a soul, finally dying in 1920. There were also a few people who performed similar experiments over the years on animals, but MacDougal’s human experiments have never been tried or replicated since then. Does your research have any meaning? Regardless of the answer, the existence of the soul is not scientifically proven, and we will certainly never stop searching to answer one of the most important mysteries of existence. our own. Either way, the work of MacDougall still makes an interesting impression, not because of what he found (or failed to find) but because of what he “suggested” from his experiment. For many people, MacDougall’s ideas deserve to be studied and seriously discussed.

The employees are so “lazy” and Microsoft is so rich and can lead innovation. This is unreasonable!

【1】

In 2008, Zhang Yiming served as the manager of Kuxun, with 40 employees under his hand, which made him feel that he was in a management bottleneck. So he crossed mountains and rivers and became a Microsoft employee.

Zhang Yiming originally intended to learn about the management of large companies, but chose to leave after only half a year. Speaking of his time at Microsoft, he used two words to describe it: boring.

“Half-day work, half-day reading, work without many challenges.” Zhang Yiming said.

It’s not just Zhang Yiming who thinks that Microsoft’s work is too easy and boring.

A friend once said, “The group that just joined Microsoft is too idle. Basically, the group leader rarely sees it. Every once in a while, he talks about skiing and other entertainment.”

Later, the friend transferred to another group because he thought the job was too idle and affected his personal career development. And the status of another busy working group is like this: 10 mornings and 5 nights every day, a seven-hour work day, and the highest local hourly wage.

▲The picture comes from the Internet

In the IT circle, Microsoft, Intel, and EMC are known as the “three major nursing homes”, where work is idle and employees are “lazy”.

In 2020, Microsoft Japan announced that the four-day shift will have three days off, and the collective start “Three Rest System” .This week, Microsoft’s LinkedIn announced that all employees are paid Take a week off, It is not a statutory holiday, nor is it to circumvent labor supervision, but just to be happy.

Microsoft also allows some employees to work freely at home on a regular basis, not more than 50% of the working time per week. If the manager approves, you can even work remotely permanently. Microsoft will pay for home office expenses for employees who work remotely permanently. It’s okay to work at home for a long time and want to go back to the office. Microsoft has temporary office space available at any time.

However, the lazy Microsoft has created amazing performance.

Microsoft’s current market capitalization is US$1.93 trillion, which is equivalent to three Alibaba (US$661.8 billion) and five byte beats (US$400 billion). With another 5% rise, the technology giant may join Apple’s ranks and join the $2 trillion market capitalization club.

In fact, on February 11, 2020, Microsoft once surpassed Apple to become the world’s most valuable technology company.

Microsoft has the highest market share of traditional operating systems and office software, both at over 97%; its innovative business cloud computing, AR business and game business also continue to lead.

In terms of cloud computing, 95% of Fortune 500 companies use Microsoft’s Microsoft Azure intelligent cloud service.

In terms of AR, Microsoft received a $22 billion order at the beginning of this month. The IDC report shows that the scale of global AR market-related expenditures will reach a compound annual growth rate of 54% during the five-year forecast period from 2020 to 2024, exceeding US$70 billion.

In terms of games, Microsoft is also one of the world’s three major console game brands, and its Xbox console market share is close to one-third, reaching 26%; PC games are even the only one.

In March 2020, Microsoft acquired Zenimax Media, the parent company of the well-known gaming giant B. Company B has many world-renowned 3A masterpieces such as “The Elder Scrolls”, “Radiation”, and “Humiliation”, which have a huge influence in the game industry. The acquisition of Microsoft caused industry turmoil, and even attracted a joint review by the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the European Union.

This leads to a question: Why is Microsoft so lazy, so successful and competitive? Can still lead innovation?

Scolding employees for throwing their mobile phones and recording their license plates to prevent leaving early, Microsoft has not always been a “good man” in corporate governance.

In the early stage of entrepreneurship, Microsoft was not friendly to employees. Employees not only need high-intensity work, but also face the dilemma of being insulted by their personality anytime and anywhere; in the mid-term growth stage, Microsoft has encountered many antitrust investigations, failed to enter the Internet, and high performance pressure, which has caused its requirements for employees to become more severe; In the later stage of business transformation, in addition to shooting negative advertisements for competitors, Microsoft also smashed its employees’ mobile phones on the hot search list.

In an interview on BBC’s “Desert Island Records” program, Bill Gates admitted that in the early days of Microsoft’s founding, I am “very enthusiastic about work”, which is an unfortunate thing for my colleagues.

Microsoft was just established in 1975, and the company is still in its infancy, with only a few employees.

In order to improve efficiency, Bill Gates not only turned himself upside down day and night, lived in the company, did not change his clothes for a few weeks, but also imposed his almost crazy work habits on his employees. For a while, Bill Gates even relied on recording employee license plates to control employees’ working hours and prevent them from arriving late and leaving early.

“I know everyone’s license plate, so just look at the parking lot, you can know the employee’s commuting time.” Bill Gates said.

▲It is mentioned in the documentary “Decoding Bill Gates” that although he is very busy, he still has two major interests in his spare time: road racing and watching striptease.

Bill Gates is not a human being at work, but in his opinion, one of his clients is even more cruel and inhumane, even workaholics can’t stand it. That person was the famous Apple founder Jobs.

At that time, Apple 2 needed a set of office software. Bill Gates got up early to write the earliest Office software such as Word and Excel for him, but he was often urged by Jobs.

Gates’ evaluation of Jobs is “very enthusiastic about work” and “strictly demanding of me.”

When workaholics encounter people who work hard for their lives, especially when both of them are founders of technology companies, their employees suffer.

According to “Silicon Valley Legend”, Jobs had a grumpy attitude toward employees in the early days, and he also pitted some stocks of co-founder Woznick.

Bill Gates participates in the product review board, swearing for pleasure, and employees even use the number of times he says “fxxk” as a basis for evaluating whether his product design can pass smoothly.

Microsoft engineer Polski wrote about Bill Gates in his blog:

“He didn’t really want to review your design, he just wanted to make sure that you have control over it. According to his usual standards, he will ask harder and harder questions until you admit that you don’t know, and then he can scold you. Unprepared. If you can answer the hardest question he asked, what will happen next? No one really knows. Because no one has ever done this.”

Bill Gates scolds people equally, not only scolding employees, but also co-founder Steve Ballmer. In the multiple work emails exposed by the media, the dialogue between Bill Gates and Ballmer can be described as “violent speech.”

Under the influence of curse culture, especially after Ballmer took over as Microsoft CEO, he also became hysterical.

In Seattle in September 2009, it was dry and dry. Microsoft is experiencing failure to replace Windows Vista, Windows Mobile is suppressed by Google and Apple’s mobile operating systems, and even music players such as Zune cannot sell iPods. What’s more disturbing is that Microsoft, which is jealous of Apple iPhone, released two generations of multimedia mobile phones Kin1 and Kin2 within a year, and sold a total of exaggerated…500 units in the life cycle.

On September 14 of that year, Ballmer smashed an employee’s mobile phone at an internal Microsoft meeting.

At that time, Ballmer had just entered the venue, he was alive and kicking as before. But when he saw someone taking pictures with an iPhone, Ballmer rushed to grab the iPhone, laughed at it, and threw it on the ground, trampling it with his feet.

Ballmer has also thrown chairs at employees, and even yelled at Google because an executive switched to Google: “I want to bury Google CEO Eric Schmidt alive! I want to eliminate Google!”

The irritable culture has also continued into the professional habits of Microsoft employees, so that during the upgrade of Microsoft’s Windows 10 Dev Build 21313, the engineer wrote on the update page: “Configuring update, please don’t turn off the computer”.

Today, when Bill Gates has become a benevolent old man, he has begun to reflect on his relationship with employees:

“I must remind myself that my standards can no longer be used to require employees to work hard.”

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took the shade. Microsoft’s 50-year history, from the disaster of corporate governance to the current “professional pensioners”, is not so much that Microsoft actively chooses to seek benefits for employees, but it is actually forced.

According to the research of historian Thomas McGraw, 4227 American companies merged into 257 from 1897 to 1904. By 1904, about 318 trusts controlled two-fifths of the nation’s manufacturing assets. Since then, the United States has experienced three waves of anti-monopoly, and each anti-monopoly has promoted the improvement of employee welfare and the level of corporate governance, and at the same time promoted new technological progress.

In the first wave of anti-monopoly in 1890, the United States promulgated the “Sherman Antitrust Act.” A batch of trusts such as Rockefeller and the Morgan family were split up. New companies such as Ford and Chevrolet were able to develop at the time. “Wait for the implementation of the system.

In the second wave of antitrust in 1970, telecommunications giants such as IBM and AT&T were punished and almost split up. The two companies have respectively released monopoly technology to the market and corrected vicious competition and bundling sales. Open source technology has enabled companies such as Microsoft, Intel, and Hewlett-Packard to develop. The telecommunications industry has been criticized for improving overtime and overwork. The flat management and flexible working system have spread with the development of Silicon Valley.

In 1998, the Dragon Knight Microsoft grew into a dragon and took advantage of the operating system’s monopoly to infiltrate the browser market. It was not until the release of Google’s Chrome browser in 2008 that the ten-year hegemony of IE browser was ended. It is precisely this decade that the early Internet advantages of the United States have been exhausted, Internet companies such as China, India, and South Korea have developed greatly, and Facebook and Amazon have begun to rise.

Microsoft, which has lost its monopoly advantage, found that the original method of squeezing employees to increase the scale of monopoly benefits is no longer applicable. Internet companies such as Facebook, which are relatively loosely managed, are scrambling for their own talents. The method is simple and rude: higher salary, lower working hours, more flexible employment system.

Silicon Valley has entered a virtuous circle in employee benefits: talents are limited, but business expansion is unlimited. In order to obtain talents, companies have begun to spare no effort to improve employee benefits.

For example, Google built a special bicycle track for employees; Facebook expanded maternity leave, and male employees also had a four-month vacation; Apple provided female employees with up to 20,000 US dollars for freezing eggs.

Microsoft has nothing to do except being rich, so in the face of competition for employee benefits of major Internet companies, Microsoft used its “money capability” to defeat the market dream rate of Silicon Valley technology companies.

In the final analysis, Microsoft’s improvement of employee benefits and corporate governance is the result of a combination of internal and external factors.

On the one hand, Microsoft’s traditional business is shackled by anti-monopoly gloves, and it is difficult to make breakthroughs, and it will be meaningless to continue to squeeze employees; at the same time, Microsoft’s new business growth points are in cloud computing, AR, games and other innovative fields to improve efficiency and development Creativity can increase productivity more than crowded tactics and overtime madness.

On the other hand, in the past ten years, traditional technology companies have encountered the impact of new Internet companies, and Microsoft needs to recruit talents through employee benefits; the problem of declining birthrate in developed markets such as Europe, America and Japan is serious, and there is no demographic dividend and engineer dividend, which objectively improves employees The bargaining chip in the game with the enterprise, because no one is available.

In addition, due to the harsh US “Labor Law” and “Employment Law” and other laws, large companies such as Microsoft are facing huge compensation in labor lawsuits. Countless human rights lawyers use labor disputes to seek sky-high labor compensation; the labor union system is deeply entrenched in the United States, and labor unions even provide free legal aid to laborers in order to obtain mediation fees from companies.

【4】

Both Silicon Valley companies and domestic companies are now inevitably falling into the disease of large companies:

The meaningless but endless meetings and PPT summaries, seemingly strict management but reducing the efficiency of the level of approval, the employees are working overtime on the surface, but under the pressure, people are overwhelmed by things, like to do things.

This disease is incurable, making the company bloated and difficult to adapt to market changes. Silicon Valley has invented various management tools such as KPI (Key Performance Indicators), OKR (Objectives and Key Results Method), agile development, garage planning, etc., but the results have been minimal.

Microsoft and IBM are also the same. When the scale reached a certain level, large company diseases occurred. Each department fought independently. The corporate politics obscured the voice of customers and the response was no longer agile. Compared with emerging companies, the gap is visible to the naked eye.

IBM’s solution is to lay off employees and abolish the business, control the company’s scale to a certain range, reduce the level, and make the business more flexible. Microsoft chose to face it directly. Around 2011, the current CEO Nadella started reforms from the technical level with the least resistance, and finally carried out a comprehensive reform of corporate culture and corporate governance.

The most successful part of Microsoft under Nadella was breaking down departmental barriers and breaking down small circles, but did not vote against the original departmental system.

According to Coase’s theory, when the organization is large enough, there is essentially an “enterprise boundary” between each department. This is a sociological phenomenon that actually exists, and it does not depend on human will.

Microsoft actually acquiesced in the establishment of departmental barriers and factions, because it is impossible to eliminate them. Even Bill Gates said, “The company has grown to a certain scale, and I have to relax this standard.”

Microsoft’s strategy is “the company serves employees to grow”: if an engineer wants to be cool, then create conditions to make him cool; find people by department is too cumbersome, then find people according to specific functions, and be responsible for their own business without having to be responsible for the department. The leader is responsible.

In fact, Microsoft did not use the traditional departmental hierarchical system. Instead, it empowered the employees at the bottom. On the contrary, the goal was easier to achieve and efficiency was improved at the company level.

For a startup company, employees are like a tension spring, and the company needs them to go all out to win the market; for a large company, if it treats employees as a spring like a startup company, it will not rebound if it is too full. Up.

For example, after the implementation of Microsoft Japan’s “four holidays and three holidays” system, Microsoft said its labor productivity has increased by 39.9% compared with last year. Between extending labor hours and improving production efficiency, Microsoft chose the latter.

From Microsoft’s experience, Microsoft employees under Ballmer did not work less overtime, but the company’s performance did not grow much; Microsoft employees under Nadella were very happy, but it did not prevent Microsoft’s market value from approaching two trillion US dollars.

Microsoft summarizes the experience of the corporate governance system into three:

First, improving employee welfare can promote productivity development, but not the other way around; especially in high-tech fields and creative industries, efficiency is more important than simply overtime;

Second, the disease of large companies cannot be eliminated, but it can be adapted;

Third, the level of corporate governance depends on the top level. Don’t expect the middle and bottom levels. They are not obligated to contribute to the company’s culture. The ultimate decision makers that determine whether employees work overtime are still the founders and the senior management team.

But it is undeniable that, to this day, there are still companies and even super large companies that have not realized this.

Recently, Amazon, which is known for its squeezing of employees, still seems to want to continue the employment system of the Rockefeller era 100 years ago. It was strongly resisted by its employees. 30,000 employees went on strike. Amazon in Europe even faced a shutdown.

In addition to Amazon’s e-commerce business, although Amazon’s cloud computing market share currently ranks first in the world, its share continues to decline, from 45% in April last year to 31% in March this year. Under pressure, Bezos announced that he would step down as CEO in the third quarter of this year.

In contrast, Microsoft, ranked second in cloud computing, has a market share that has increased from 7% to 20%, and new businesses such as AR and games have continued to grow. It has also been rated as one of the 25 companies with the highest employee happiness in the world.

Two companies created by different corporate governance cultures can have the last laugh. Let time prove it.

Project Iceworm was the US Army’s 1958 Cold War experiment to hide hundreds of missiles under the ice caps of Greenland. This secret site is believed to be an ideal place to launch attacks against the Soviet Union if war breaks out. The project started with the construction of a prototype ice base called Camp Century. This work consists of a system of tunnels made of ice, steel and snow, arranged into scientific laboratories, a hospital and is home to more than 200 people. Project Iceworm was a technical miracle, but the displacement of the ice cubes disrupted the consistency of the structure making the site not a safe place to protect nuclear weapons. The project was stopped in 1966. Project Pigeon: Renowned psychologist BF Skinner came up with the idea for a new weapon during World War II. What’s even more remarkable is that the US military actually invested in this experiment with the idea of ​​training missile-guided pigeons to more accurately target enemy targets. Psychologist Skinner observed the pigeon’s excellent vision and mobility and believed these would help his experiment. He trained the pigeons to cut into a number of predetermined images, such as enemy ships, and then place them in a small compartment with a screen showing the missile’s flight path. Recognizing the targets, the pigeon pecks on similar images on the screen, leading the missile to its destination. Surprisingly, the pigeons have demonstrated their outstanding ability, while the Skinner scientist’s experiment has been praised by both psychologists and physicists. However, the US military later thought the idea was too bizarre that it ceased to apply in practice. During World War II, a dentist named Lytle S. Adams contacted the White House to present his bat-bomb ideas amid the US seeking to attack Japan. Accordingly, when the incendiary devices mounted on the bats were activated, the towns would be engulfed in flames. However, when the US military tested the idea, it failed and they accidentally burned their own Air Force Base in New Mexico. In 1972, the US military received information that the Soviet Union was investing millions of dollars in psychic experiments and controlling objects with thoughts. Not wanting to be left behind, they launched the Star Gate Project. Uri Geller led this research. Although he was known for his ability to bend metal objects with his thoughts, the military was more interested in his ability to read and even control the minds of others. The psychic were then invited to assume the role of “remote observer”. They endeavor to use their abilities to gather intelligence about the enemy. They have participated in countless anti-terrorist campaigns and have helped track down the fugitives in the heart of America. However, the Star Gate project ended in 1995 with complicated results. Dark sighting plays a very important role on the battlefield, so night vision goggles are an indispensable part of the soldiers. However, the US Navy wanted to improve vision in the dark, so it mimicked the visual abilities of night creatures like raccoons. Raccoons have pigments in their eyes that allow them to see infrared light that cannot be seen by humans. The goal of the project is to help soldiers detect infrared signals, facilitating the transmission of confidential information. However, this idea does not seem to be working. Carriers are usually large ships because they have to carry tons of fighter jets and other vehicles. However, in the 1930s, the US military tested an aircraft carrier in the air. They created two such aircraft carriers, the USS Akron and USS Macon, with a length of 244 meters and each carrying about five fighters. However, in the end, as both carriers crashed, the test was abandoned.

Ly Thi Ut Lanh’s ideas were immediately disgraced. Most netizens believe that the design of “Bridge is” somewhat objectionable, not suitable to become national costume . “Rude – have you read carefully the title of national costume design?

The employees are so “lazy” and Microsoft is so rich and can lead innovation. This is unreasonable!

In 2008, Zhang Yiming served as the manager of Kuxun, with 40 employees under his hand, which made him feel that he was in a management bottleneck. So he crossed mountains and rivers and became a Microsoft employee.

Zhang Yiming originally intended to learn the management of large companies, but chose to leave after only half a year. Speaking of his time at Microsoft, he used two words to describe it: boring.

“Half-day work, half-day reading, work without many challenges.” Zhang Yiming said.

It’s not just Zhang Yiming who thinks that Microsoft’s work is too easy and boring.

A friend once said, “The group that just joined Microsoft is too idle. Basically, the group leader rarely sees it. Every once in a while, he talks about skiing and other entertainment.”

It was not until the release of Google’s Chrome browser in 2008 that the ten-year hegemony of IE browser was ended. It is precisely this decade that the early Internet advantages of the United States have been exhausted, Internet companies such as China, India, and South Korea have developed greatly, and Facebook and Amazon have begun to rise.

Microsoft, which has lost its monopoly advantage, found that the original method of squeezing employees to increase the scale of monopoly benefits is no longer applicable. Internet companies such as Facebook, which are relatively loosely managed, are scrambling for their own talents. The method is simple and rude: higher salary, lower working hours, more flexible employment system.

Silicon Valley has entered a virtuous circle in employee benefits: talents are limited, but business expansion is unlimited. In order to obtain talents, companies have begun to spare no effort to improve employee benefits.

For example, Google built a special bicycle track for employees; Facebook expanded maternity leave, and male employees also had a four-month vacation; Apple provided female employees with up to 20,000 US dollars for freezing eggs.

Microsoft has nothing to do with it except being rich, so in the face of competition for employee benefits of major Internet companies, Microsoft used its “money capability” to beat the market dream rate of Silicon Valley technology companies.

In the final analysis, Microsoft’s improvement of employee benefits and corporate governance is the result of a combination of internal and external factors.

On the one hand, Microsoft’s traditional business is shackled by anti-monopoly gloves, and it is difficult to make breakthroughs. It will be meaningless to continue to squeeze employees; at the same time, Microsoft’s new business growth points are in cloud computing, AR, games and other innovative fields to improve efficiency and development Creativity can increase productivity more than crowded tactics and overtime madness.

On the other hand, in the past ten years, traditional technology companies have encountered the impact of new Internet companies. Microsoft needs to use employee benefits to recruit talents; the problem of declining birthrates in developed markets such as Europe, America and Japan is serious, and there is no demographic dividend and engineer dividend, which objectively improves employees. The bargaining chip in the game with the enterprise, because no one is available.

In addition, due to the harsh US “Labor Law” and “Employment Law” and other laws, large companies such as Microsoft are facing huge compensation in labor lawsuits. Countless human rights lawyers use labor disputes to seek sky-high labor compensation; the labor union system is deeply entrenched in the United States, and labor unions even provide free legal aid to laborers in order to obtain mediation fees from companies.

Both Silicon Valley companies and domestic companies are now inevitably falling into the disease of large companies:

The meaningless but endless meetings and PPT summaries, seemingly strict management but reducing the efficiency of the level of approval, the employees are working overtime on the surface, but under the pressure, people are overwhelmed with things, likes to go back and forth.

This disease is incurable, making the company bloated and difficult to adapt to market changes. Silicon Valley has invented various management tools such as KPI (Key Performance Indicators), OKR (Objectives and Key Results Method), agile development, garage planning, etc., but the results have been minimal.

Microsoft and IBM are also the same. When the scale reached a certain level, large company diseases occurred. Each department fought independently. The corporate politics obscured the voice of customers and the response was no longer agile. Compared with emerging companies, the gap is visible to the naked eye.

IBM’s solution is to lay off employees and abolish the business, control the company’s scale to a certain range, reduce the level, and make the business more flexible. Microsoft chose to face it directly. Around 2011, the current CEO Nadella started reforms from the technical level with the least resistance, and finally carried out a comprehensive reform of corporate culture and corporate governance.

The most successful part of Microsoft under Nadella was breaking down departmental barriers and breaking down small circles, but did not vote against the original departmental system.

According to Coase’s theory, when the organization is large enough, there is essentially an “enterprise boundary” between each department. This is a sociological phenomenon that actually exists, and it does not depend on human will.

Microsoft actually acquiesced to the establishment of departmental barriers and factions, because it is impossible to eliminate them. Even Bill Gates said, “The company has grown to a certain scale, and I have to relax this standard.”

Microsoft’s strategy is “the company serves employees to grow”: if an engineer wants to be cool, then create conditions to make him cool; find people by department is too cumbersome, then find people according to specific functions, and be responsible for their own business without being responsible for the department. The leader is responsible.

In fact, Microsoft did not use the traditional departmental hierarchical system, but empowered the employees at the bottom. On the contrary, the goal is easier to achieve and efficiency is improved at the company level.

For a startup company, employees are like a tension spring, and the company needs them to go all out to win the market; for a large company, if it treats employees as a spring like a startup company, it will not rebound if it is too full. Up.

For example, after the implementation of Microsoft Japan’s “four holidays and three holidays” system, Microsoft said its labor productivity has increased by 39.9% compared with last year. Between extending labor hours and improving production efficiency, Microsoft chose the latter.

From Microsoft’s experience, Microsoft employees under Ballmer did not work less overtime, but the company’s performance did not grow much; Microsoft employees under Nadella were very happy, but it did not prevent Microsoft’s market value from approaching two trillion US dollars.

Microsoft summarizes the experience of the corporate governance system into three:

First, improving employee welfare can promote productivity development, but not the other way around; especially in high-tech fields and creative industries, efficiency is more important than simply overtime;

Second, the disease of large companies cannot be eliminated, but it can be adapted;

Third, the level of corporate governance depends on the top level. Don’t expect the middle and bottom levels. They are not obligated to contribute to the company’s culture. The ultimate decision makers who decide whether employees work overtime or not are still the founders and senior management team.

But it is undeniable that, to this day, there are still companies and even super large companies that have not realized this.

Recently, Amazon, which is known for its squeezing of employees, still seems to want to continue the employment system of the Rockefeller era 100 years ago. It was strongly resisted by its employees. 30,000 employees went on strike. Amazon in Europe even faced a shutdown.

In addition to Amazon’s e-commerce business, although Amazon’s cloud computing market share currently ranks first in the world, its share continues to decline, from 45% in April last year to 31% in March this year. Under pressure, Bezos announced that he would step down as CEO in the third quarter of this year.

In contrast, Microsoft, ranked second in cloud computing, has a market share that has increased from 7% to 20%, and new businesses such as AR and games have continued to grow. It has also been rated as one of the 25 companies with the highest employee happiness in the world.

Two companies created by different corporate governance cultures can have the last laugh. Let time prove it.

You simply line up the wooden bars vertically, a few centimeters apart to about an inch. Carefully treated, high quality slats are less likely to warp. However, if warping is inevitable in a humid climate like in Vietnam, you can place the slats a little further apart; Large distances will help the warps look less ‘exposed’. Use small shaped wooden blocks If you like a little break, a wall made of small wooden blocks in a square or rectangular box will be a good choice.
