IT industry collective Winter Holding group heating

In fact, early in the time, Huawei, Taobao Enterprises have been aware of the winter chill. Last month, in my blog, "Google Internet Winter to" also mentioned that the U.S. subprime crisis triggered by the economic butterfly effect is expanding at all levels, not only for the manufacturing, services, the impact of the IT industry is also sustained.

This year's Christmas Eve and dinner, many foreign companies ' standards have been compared with previous years greatly reduced. Google, a cash-focused company, has also begun replacing red envelopes with physical Gphone handsets. See the following news:

This December 23, Google began sending smartphones to employees, not cash, as a year-end gift. This reflects the company's efforts to reduce the cost of its notoriously generous employee benefits. The internet search company will distribute G1 handsets to most of the world's 20100 employees, the first mobile phone to use Android, the company's latest mobile operating system. In the past few years, Google has been using cash as a year-end gift for all employees, and a person familiar with the company said the amount was about 1000 dollars. He said Google also issued performance bonuses in restrictive stocks and cash, which will be issued early next year, according to the Convention. Cutting benefits in tough times may have a big impact on employee morale, and other rich tech companies have found the problem, and Google's founders themselves warned. Earlier in the 2000, Microsoft (Microsoft) first introduced a company-wide cost-cutting plan, when the decision to cancel the company's shower towel service was a focus of discontent. The company then resumed the towel service. Google has been cautious since it began a few months ago to rein in fast-rising costs. For example, the company says some restaurants in Silicon Valley's Silicon Valley Company's headquarters are now closed early in the evening, but employees who work late can still find other restaurants to enjoy free meals. This is a reflection of the economic difficulties in which any company will cut costs by cutting employee benefits. (Programming Entry network: www.bianceng.cn)

Big bosses like Google and Microsoft are starting to tighten their pockets, and the outlook for the IT industry is not at all optimistic. China's internet giant Tencent, Taobao, and other comments, for the economic crisis to remain optimistic that the dotcom bust than the 2000 was much better. Their theory is that, because of the economic crisis, there may be more people spending time online or buying cheap goods on the internet. But what I've observed is that the enthusiasm of online players to buy equipment or virtual goods has dropped sharply, and the volume of business and c2c is shrinking, and the sustainability of this crisis's bad impact on it is visible.

I was in the previous time QQ signed with the "collective winter, holding group heating," mainly from the experience of the economic crisis to write the mood. The impact of the crisis on the manufacturing industry, so that enterprises began to "cash for the King" as the leading idea, to stop unnecessary investment and investments, improve labor efficiency, compression costs ... Our previous traffic supplements have been canceled, communications have dropped, and performance awards have been partially frozen. Sack, this winter is extremely deep cold, still unknown, but early spring Hile is not how possible.

The plight of other industries is bound to affect the demand for it and investment, so it enterprises to the collective winter, but also need to hold a group of heating. However, it industry, mainly for personal consumption, may be one of the highlights. Recently, including myself and colleagues, has bought 6 small black ThinkPad notebook, it seems that the Chinese people's habit, to the end of the year and the Spring Festival, the consumption or consumption, domestic demand may be a boost to the national economy, which may be more inspiring than 3 trillion government investment.
