Chapter 1085 Massive Layoffs
Yunchi Sports selects young players to support. Except for a few who are appointed by Yu Dong, most of them are chosen by themselves.
The reason why they can select good players is closely related to big data technology.
Big data technology is not a new thing. As early as the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. government and some companies had begun to use electronic computers to process data. This is the origin of big data technology.
It's just that computers at that time were still relatively primitive, and the scale of data and processing capabilities were very poor, so this technology did not develop very well.
It was not until the 1980s and 1990s that computer technology developed greatly, and data size and processing capabilities were significantly improved.
But even so, big data technology is still a new science for most people, and many people even do not regard it as a new science, nor do they bother to study it.
But Deep Space Corporation has been conducting research in this area three years ago. They have also established two big data research laboratories in cooperation with Southeast University and Jinling University.
Jinling University is also planning to open related majors. Many schools at home and abroad have already opened majors related to big data analysis, such as the Information Management and Information Systems major studied by Ren Hongfei.
But in fact, these majors still have some problems in big data analysis, and the direction is not clear enough. Many students from these majors do not know what they want to do.
The Deep Space Company has done a very specific job in this regard. They have also broken down into categories such as medical care, finance, sports, etc. Each industry has a dedicated team responsible for it.
In order to develop big data technology, Deep Space has developed a distributed storage and processing framework. This technology allows data to be stored and processed distributedly among many computing nodes, thereby speeding up the speed and stability of data processing.
Yunchi Sports cooperated with the Big Data Development Department of Shenzhen Space Company to develop a series of sports equipment. These equipment can collect more than 200 data from athletes, and then analyze and process it to find the optimal results.
Many of the young players they sponsor are found based on big data analysis.
Big data analysis will make mistakes, that's for sure. There are also some players funded by Yunchi who will not develop well in the future, but the overall proportion is already very high.
Therefore, although big data cannot guarantee no errors, it can improve the success rate.
In fact, the equipment produced by Yunchi Sports is still relatively rough, and some data may not be accurate. However, because Yunchi Sports is the first to make such things in such detail, their products are very popular with many clubs.
Tried using them all.
The effect is there, and the key is that it’s not expensive.
The price of these devices is not expensive, not because of low cost, but because Yunchi is not thinking about making money for the time being. They are more about promoting products and collecting data.
Especially the latter.
The things Yunchi Sports is doing now definitely require a lot of professional data, but if they go directly to those clubs and ask them to cooperate with Yunchi to collect athletes' income, then these clubs will probably be unwilling.
But now that Yunchi has sold them a set of equipment at a relatively low price, it is a matter of course that they can obtain the data of these players.
In fact, these clubs haven't reacted yet. If they reacted, they shouldn't let Yunchi take away their data easily. Apart from anything else, if Yunchi sells these data to opponents, it will be fatal to them.
of blow.
In fact, Yunchi Sports is also considering going public recently, and it should probably start next year.
However, Yunchi Sports is different from Tencent and Google. It is a traditional industry, so its listing will follow a traditional path.
After going public, Yunchi Sports will also embark on a crazy merger path, so as to expand the market more quickly.
…
On November 10, just when many people were immersed in the atmosphere of Google's successful listing and believed that Internet technology companies would rise again, the California state government issued a document, and the content of this document was:
, San Jose-based technology company Cisco Systems will permanently lay off hundreds of employees in the South Bay area next month.
The documents show that Cisco will lay off 232 employees at its San Jose office and 121 employees at its Milpitas office.
This layoff will begin on December 15th.
After the California state government documents were released, Cisco also explained the layoffs to the outside world through the media.
Cisco explained that the reason for layoffs was not to save costs, but mainly to maintain a balance. As for what kind of balance they wanted to maintain, they did not give a specific explanation.
Cisco's layoffs this time are particularly broad, including engineers, managers and technical support staff. Affected employees will receive severance pay and outplacement services, and Cisco will work hard to help them find new jobs.
In fact, for a huge company like Cisco with tens of thousands of employees, laying off more than 300 employees is not a big deal. The proportion of layoffs this time is less than 1%.
However, this is not the end, but just a beginning.
Only ten days have passed, on November 20, before the first round of layoffs began, the California state government issued another document. The content of this document is almost the same as the previous one, except that
However, there are some differences between numbers and locations.
This time, Cisco plans to lay off 160 employees in Milpitas, 251 employees in the San Francisco office, and 316 employees in San Jose, for a total of 700 layoffs.
Twenty-seven employees, twice as many as last time.
This time, the explanation given by Cisco is still the same. They said that the layoffs are not to save costs, but also to achieve a rebalance.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But from beginning to end, Cisco has not explained what rebalancing they are talking about.
This time, reporters also asked if they would have a second layoff, but a Cisco spokesperson did not answer.
It seems that there is no difference between the two layoffs, except that the number of people has increased. However, this time the layoffs actually included a vice president of Cisco.
Two rounds of layoffs directly eliminated more than a thousand employees. Even if Cisco has tens of thousands of employees, this number is enough to attract people's attention.
There are also more discussions about Cisco on the Internet, and most of them are negative.
[It seems that Cisco is going to be finished. I was planning to go to Cisco after graduation, but now it seems that I still won’t go.]
[Now that Huawei is too strong, Cisco is probably going to collapse.]
[The performance of the products is the same, but the price is twice that of others. How can it be outsold by others? 】
[Huawei's service is very good. If there is no problem at ordinary times, even if there is a problem, after-sales service personnel will be in place quickly.]
[That’s right, thumbs up for Huawei Technology Company’s service attitude.]
[Alas, I am a Cisco employee and I feel very sad.]
[I am also a Cisco employee and have not been laid off yet, but I am very panicked.]
[I heard that there will be more layoffs in the next round, but I don’t know if that’s true.]
[I heard that a total of 8% of the workforce will be laid off, and a total of 4,000 people will be laid off.]
[If there are so many, then 3,000 people will be laid off.]
[If we really only cut 8% of our jobs, it would actually be okay, but I’m afraid it won’t stop.]
[I feel like this situation will last for a long time.]
[Brothers, I have switched to Huawei.]
[Didn’t I say some time ago that Internet technology was going to take off again?]
[Facts have proved that only some companies have taken off, and most have not taken off.]
[Indeed, Cisco’s current situation cannot be saved by one or two companies.]
[And the key point is that it is impossible for Google and Tencent to use Cisco products.]
[I’ll stop talking here. As long as Deep Space is here, Cisco will never get up.]
[That’s right, those companies in the deep space industry can avoid a huge wave of orders if they don’t use Cisco’s products.]
[Deep Space Company’s current capabilities are so terrifying that no one will be able to use them if they mess with them.]
[It feels like Microsoft may be taking action, and now Deep Space Company poses too great a threat to them.]
[Deep Space Company is not in a position to go to war with Microsoft.]
【Yes, the foundation of a computer is the system.】
【You are really too naive.】
[Microsoft is strong, but Deep Space’s roots are also very deep now.]
[You don’t think that in the Internet era, there are only computers. 】
【You mean? How long will it take to wait? It’s too far.】
[The key is that Microsoft now wants to touch Deep Space Company, but there is no way.]
[At that time, Microsoft ignored Deep Space Company in the competition of streaming media. As a result, Deep Space Company now has a large amount of streaming media technology in its hands. 】
[I don’t know when Microsoft will take action.]
[Why didn’t Deep Space Company take the lead?]
[Deep Space Company would not be so reckless.]
…
The largest social networking site in the world now is Deep Space Tribe, and the most popular instant messaging software is Dongdong. During this period, there have been particularly many discussions about Cisco on Deep Space Tribe and Dongdong.
There is also Facebook, and there is a lot of news about Cisco.
A few days later, Cisco filed another lawsuit against Deep Space Computer. They believed that the negative news about Cisco on the Deep Space Tribe was intentionally guided or even maliciously manipulated by Deep Space.
In fact, Cisco's accusation is not entirely without reason.
Why is there so much news about Cisco on the Deep Space Tribe? It is indeed related to Deep Space Company. They push more news related to Deep Space Company to users.
However, Deep Space Company stated that they only did this because the news was popular. Of course they had to promote popular news, just as TV stations only chase news with higher popularity. All of this is the choice of the audience.
It is impossible for Cisco to win this kind of lawsuit. They are just trying to stir up trouble and make it miserable.
It's just a pity that no matter what they do, what netizens see on the Internet is what the Deep Space Company wants netizens to see.
A very interesting thing happened in the middle.
Cisco is trying to speak for themselves on Deep Space Tribe, because no one can see their voice on other platforms, but their account on Deep Space Tribe has been officially restricted by Deep Space Company, no matter what they post,
Not many people will see it.
Unless netizens can click into their homepage, they can't see their updates at all.
Maybe someone will specifically find them and click in, but there are very few such people.
Seeing this situation, Cisco went to find a "data" company and helped them promote it on the website.
But soon, the company that took their orders was wiped out, all their accounts were blocked, and the entire company was suddenly in a state of silence.
In the past two years, Deep Space Company has been developing retrieval technology in this area. For such data-generating accounts, they will not directly block the accounts. They will first put them in the "monitoring room" to monitor them. Once there is any abnormality in these accounts
, when they need to take action, they can directly close the network, and there is no need to go to them one by one, which is too time-consuming.
This is not over yet. After these accounts were deleted, Deep Space Company sued Cisco for producing false data and maliciously guiding netizens.
Well, Cisco has stolen the chicken but lost the rice. They have another scandal on the Deep Space Tribe.
The most outrageous thing is that Deep Space Company directly announced more than 3,000 banned accounts this time, and also published information about what these accounts had done before, such as participating in online violence against a certain celebrity, and providing false data to a certain celebrity...
…
And they also blamed Cisco for these things.
Cisco couldn't complain, and Deep Space didn't say that this company was their investment. When I see the two pieces of news put together on a regular basis, I always make associations.
You said whether Deep Space Company did it on purpose? That is definitely the case. Only fools think that Deep Space Company did it unintentionally. These things are just coincidences.
But if you want to sue the Deep Space Company, you have no choice.
This is the power of having a mouthpiece. Now it is difficult for Cisco to speak out, and those TV stations and newspapers have no reason to speak out for them.
How much money can they give? The key is that only those in Black Cisco can make big money now, and those who say good things to them will not get much traffic.
The war of public opinion is very terrible. In this war, the weapon is the communication channel.
Now that Deep Space has basically mastered the voice channels on the Internet, traditional media are also developing. If they want to fight a public opinion war, ordinary companies do not have this ability.
Of course, these black materials may frustrate Cisco, but it is impossible to bring them down, so Deep Space is now using a two-pronged approach to continue to let Huawei compete with Cisco in a price war.
Huawei claims to the outside world that its products have the same performance as Cisco's products at half the price.
But in fact, the performance of products that are only half the price is still somewhat different from Cisco's products.
