Rebirth begins with e-commerce
299. Cognitive Bias
The next morning, when Luo Xiu got up, he found that his muscles were sore all over his body and he couldn't squat with his legs.
I've only run a few kilometers and it's like this. This twenty-year-old body is not as good as the thirty-year-old body before rebirth.
I used to be able to run 5,000 meters easily, but it seems I have really lacked exercise recently.
Many people play games in the dormitory every day during college and are too lazy to exercise. Instead, they develop the worst body at their best age.
It's not that Luo Xiu lies in the dormitory and plays games every day, but that he is busy with work and neglects his body.
Thinking of this, he still endured the pain caused by the accumulation of lactic acid and ran on the school's plastic track.
Maybe this is the benefit of being a boss. You can control your time freely and don't have to clock in on time.
A young body recovers quickly. After a few days, Luo Xiu could no longer feel the pain in his body.
I can now easily finish the 5,000-meter run without having to endure it as hard as I did at the beginning.
However, he runs more to have a good body and keep his energy high, and does not continue to pursue longer distances.
I just keep running five kilometers every day, go home, take a shower and then go to the company.
Occasionally, a girl would wait for him to finish running and offer him a bottle of water.
Later, Luo Xiu felt that this was not good, so he brought his own kettle.
Every time he finished a run dripping with sweat, he held a water bottle and raised his head to drink. The golden morning sun shone on his face that was raised at a 45-degree angle, a bit like the male protagonist in an idol drama.

Morning jogging is just a small episode in life, work is Luo Xiu’s focus.
Ye Xiaomeng came to the door of his office and knocked twice.
"Come in." Luo Xiu raised his head and pointed to the chair in front of the desk, "Sit down."
"Boss, I've talked to my colleagues who have been working a lot of overtime recently, and I've also asked people in the same department to understand the investigation. Basically, they stay and work overtime because they haven't finished their work, not to show you.
.”
Luo Xiu asked: "Why can't you get things done during working hours? Is it because there are too many useless meetings? Or is it because your superiors have assigned a lot of meaningless tasks?"
The biggest waste is time.
If the leadership of a company often organizes meaningless meetings, holds meetings that do not solve actual problems, or assigns a large number of tasks to subordinates that are not helpful to performance, these leaders are wasting a lot of company resources every minute.
.
As the teacher often says, if you waste one minute by yourself, you waste fifty minutes for the whole class.
When leadership wastes employees' time, it is equivalent to wasting the company's huge employment costs.
"Our company implements a flat management model and organizational structure. The phenomenon you mentioned, boss, rarely occurs in our company."
Luo Xiu listened to her words, thought about it carefully, and nodded.
Pinru is a very new Internet company, and most of its employees are young people, who have not yet developed the bad habits of being old-fashioned.
They should not use overtime to gain sympathy from their bosses and avoid scolding because the work is not completed. The company's current work pace will not lead to a large number of meaningless meetings and useless work tasks.
In a few years, when the company starts to age, it will be difficult to say.
"Then what do you think the reason is?" Luo Xiu asked.
"The main issue is personal work efficiency. With the same workload, some people complete it quickly, and some people do it very seriously, but they have to work overtime to complete it."
"That's it! I understand, you go out first!"
Luo Xiu took a deep breath, leaned on the back of the office chair, and looked up at the ceiling in trance.
This was a question that he found difficult to understand, both before and after his rebirth.
Even before his rebirth, when his conditions were similar to those of other colleagues, it often only took him two or three hours to complete someone else's workload in a day.
He looked at his colleagues around him who were so busy that they couldn't even take a sip of water. He felt incredible and didn't understand why such a simple thing took them so long.
Is this an IQ gap?
With similar college entrance examination scores and graduates from the same school, there should be no obvious difference in IQ, but there are many people who are at a loss when faced with simple work problems.
Obviously it can be solved by changing the way of thinking, so why don't they understand?
It's obviously common sense, but don't they even have this bit of common sense?
Luo Xiu's career starting point before his rebirth was very low, but in the following years, his annual salary almost doubled every year.
He knows very well that he is not the smartest of them all.
Often his reactions are even slower than others, and his memory is not good either.
He is not the most diligent, and can even be called lazy.
So he never understood why his performance at work was so much better than others.
Although he didn't understand it before, he didn't try to find the answer. The poor performance of his colleagues was just a foil to his own good performance.
Now that he is the boss, his mentality has changed. He hopes that his employees will become better.
If you can find a group of employees who are better than your boss, you can retreat to the second line with peace of mind and enjoy the blessings with equity.
In the past, Luo Xiu was accustomed to other people's low abilities. Most people were like that anyway, so there was no need to have excessive demands on them.
Now as a boss, in order to make his company more competitive, he has to have higher requirements for his employees and not allow them to be mediocre people.
So Luo Xiu took these questions and went to the next door Chinese University to ask the professor of sociology for advice.
After hearing his question, the professor lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked him:
"If you are in a casino and see a gambling table that has been opened ten times in a row, will you pay the single or the double next time?"
Luo Xiu didn't think much and answered directly: "I won't buy it because I don't know what the next one will be."
"Your answer surprises me, because most people will subconsciously think that the probability of double being drawn in the next hand is greater when they see ten consecutive orders. In fact, what is drawn in the next hand is different from the previous ten.
For any correlation, the probability of odd or even is 50%."
"Isn't this the simplest form of probability?"
"This is a cognitive bias, and it may be the biggest difference between you and ordinary employees."
The professor continued: "Most people are not smart enough, nor do they know enough, but they just have cognitive biases that lead their thinking further and further in the wrong direction."
"How does this cognitive bias occur?"
"Everyone has cognitive biases. In the process of human evolution, in order to quickly avoid danger and for survival needs, the human brain has formed a certain conditioned reflex, using the simplest path to make quick decisions for one's own choices.
.
This kind of quick judgment may not necessarily be correct, but some people can avoid wrong judgments, such as the choice you just made, Luo Xiu."
"Teacher, can you give me a simple example?" Luo Xiu asked sincerely.
"Student Luo Xiu, you are a businessman now. Let me give you an example of product sales! For example, there are two rice cookers on Taobao, one is 99 yuan and the other is 199 yuan. Which one is of better quality?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on their function, capacity, brand... High sales price does not mean high production cost. Some brands invest more costs in marketing. High production cost does not mean that the quality must be good. Also,
Look at their company’s technology accumulation…”
"That's enough." The professor interrupted Luo Xiu, "After talking so much, you still don't know which one has better quality, right? For most people, they can tell me in one second based on their past experience.
, the 199 yuan rice cooker is of better quality.
Is this judgment necessarily correct? Of course not necessarily, but in current life, there is a high probability that the quality of 199 yuan is better than that of 99 yuan. This kind of quick decision-making of the brain allows them to make judgments without complex reasoning, helping them
Saves time.”
“Is this evolution of the brain really a good thing?”
"Most of the time it's good. For example, if our ancestors picked a mushroom they didn't recognize and didn't know whether it was poisonous or not, they would subconsciously think it was poisonous and throw it away. And the scientific way of thinking
, whether this mushroom is poisonous or not can only be known after eating it.
From an evolutionary perspective, throwing away the mushrooms is the best choice. This judgment of the brain allows the individual to avoid danger and survive better.
But there will always be some strange people in human history who have to try to see if the mushroom is poisonous. Most of these people died young, but because of their existence, the human diet has become more and more abundant."
Luo Xiu joked: "I heard what the professor said, if I were an ape-man, I would definitely be poisoned by mushrooms before I could live long."
“But it’s precisely because of the curious people in history that we can eat so many delicious mushrooms today!”
After hearing what he said, Luo Xiu wanted to ask: What did the first person in history to drink milk do to the cow?
However, thinking that the other party was an old professor after all, I did not make such a joke with him, but asked him seriously: "There are no such risks that threaten life safety in society now, so is there any way to change the cognitive bias of our employees?"
"
The professor smiled meaningfully: "This can't be explained clearly in just one or two sentences. Luo Xiu is about to finish his junior year and will soon be a senior. Have you considered studying for a graduate school? I happen to be enrolling students as well."
Luo Xiu pretended not to understand, "I'm so busy with work now and don't have much time to review. I'm sure I won't be able to pass the graduate school entrance examination, right?"
"What other exams are there? We have a quota for recommendation. If Luo Xiu is interested in our research project, we can give this quota to you."
"Teacher, what is your research project?"
"Student Luo Xiu, whatever project you want to research, that will be our research project."
