No regrets ninety-two

Chapter 877 Only state officials are allowed to set fire
When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks.

In Chinese history, such a sentence is often used to describe the ruthlessness of the emperor.

There are too many such examples in history.

For example, Han Xin, the famous founding hero of the Han Dynasty, before and after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, made great achievements in pacifying the Wei State, defeating Dai Zhao in a last stand, and conquering the Yan State in the north.

As a representative of the "seeking war" school of Chinese military thought, Han Xin was once hailed by Xiao He as "the unparalleled warrior of the country". Even Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, once commented: "War must be won, attack must be captured, I am not as good as Han Xin."

But even such a hero, in the end, was inevitably killed and even punished the fate of the three clans. Before he was executed, he also sent out "the cunning rabbits are exhausted, the running dogs are cooked; the flying birds are exhausted, the good bows are hidden; the enemy's country is destroyed, and the plotters die" sigh.

In the Tang Dynasty, the famous founding heroes in history, such as Changsun Wuji, Yu Chigong, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, etc., after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, became the models of Liang Gongzang.

……

There are too many such examples in history.

In the eyes of many people, this belongs to the ruthlessness of the emperor.

In fact, not all.

Some of them were regarded as heroes of good bows and lackeys. The reason why they ended up like that was not only suspected of having meritorious service, but also had a lot to do with their own lack of professionalism.

Generally speaking, people who have made outstanding achievements but have no good end often have a common problem, that is, they are arrogant and proud of their merits.

For example, Han Xin, the reason why he didn't end well was because he relied on his favor and intended to rebel.

Another example is Changsun Wuji, who was originally the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, but after Tang Gaozong succeeded to the throne, he relied on his status as a hero and his status as the uncle of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin to show his qualifications in front of Tang Gaozong and oppose him Li Wu Zetian was the queen, so she fell out of favor and was framed for conspiracy to commit suicide.

……

Therefore, the result of "flying birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden; cunning rabbits die, lackeys cook" is not only related to the ruthlessness of the emperor's family, but also to the unprofessionalism of the heroes and veterans themselves.

In this regard, the management of enterprises by entrepreneurs is actually similar to the management of countries by emperors.

In the history of the development of modern Chinese enterprises, there have been many such cases.

For example, Shanda was famous in the early 21st century.

Founded in 99 and listed on NASDAQ in 2004, this company was once known as the leader in the domestic Internet field. richest man.

But such a great company has gradually declined after being listed for ten years.

The reason for this is not only related to the decision-making of the helmsman, but also related to the imperfection of the enterprise system and the unprofessionalism of the veterans.

As far as Wu Xiaozheng knew, Shanda actually had a chance to grow and become a behemoth.

In 2004, in order to seek a listing on NASDAQ, Chen Tianqiao hired Tang Jun, the so-called emperor of migrant workers in China and the president of Microsoft China, as the president of Shanda Networks.

After Tang Jun took office, he not only helped Shanda to be listed on Nasdaq, but also helped Shanda complete the acquisition of Sina, formulate free game strategy and other major measures, which made Shanda develop rapidly.

It is said that under his suggestion, Shanda almost planned to acquire Tencent, which was in its infancy at that time, but Chen Tianqiao vetoed it.

However, such a talented professional manager left Shanda after four years, and Shanda soon fell into decline.

As for the reason why Tang Jun left Shanda, on the one hand, he could not reach an agreement with the boss on the development concept;

There is another more famous similar case, that is the famous Du Niang.

In 2016, Du Niang, who was stuck in a development bottleneck, hired Lu Qi, a well-known professional manager and former executive vice president of Microsoft, to serve as Du Niang's chief operating officer.

After Lu Qi took office, he immediately became the number two person under Du Niang's boss and was entrusted with important tasks.

He didn't disappoint Du Niang's boss either.

In just over a year, he reorganized Du Niang's main business, what should be cut down, the key support should be supported, and re-formulated Du Niang's development strategy.

His actions have been fruitful.

On this point, the data can prove it.

Before he took office, Du Niang's stock price was at a low of $160, and the market value was only more than $400 billion.

And more than a year after he took office, Du Niang's stock price has risen to more than 280 US dollars, with a market value of more than 900 billion.

But just when Du Niang's market value was about to break through the $1000 billion mark, on May 2018, 5, Du Niang's official suddenly announced that Lu Qi had resigned due to personal and family reasons.

As soon as the news of his departure came out, Du Niang's stock price fell by as much as 9.54% that day, and its market value shrank by US$98 billion.

The whole industry was shocked by this.

It is said that the real reason for Lu Qi's resignation is related to the fact that there are too many meritorious veterans in Du Niang and the personnel relationship is too complicated.

To put it bluntly, it was because of the lack of cooperation of some veterans that Lu Qi's business ideas were greatly hindered.

……

As someone who has experienced it, Wu Xiaozheng certainly does not want such a thing to happen to Wu's company.

This is the reason why he dealt with Li Xiangyi cruelly.

If Wu's enterprise wants to develop and grow, it needs to formulate strict rules of the game from the very beginning, so that employees can develop good professionalism.

Regarding Wu Xiaozheng's explanation, among the few girls present, Zhuang Ningwen, who had worked in a large American company and was relatively professional, could understand and support him, but the other three were a little dazed.

Ma Li jokingly asked: "Zhenghan, if you stepped on a few boats like Li Xiangyi, would you also exonerate yourself?"

Wu Xiaozheng: "..."

Are you deliberately embarrassing me?

He immediately blurted out: "How is it possible?"

The girls: "..."

Are you saying "Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but people are not allowed to light lamps"?

But Wu Xiaozheng said cheekily: "The enterprise is mine, I can play however I want, who can spare me?"

Although the words are rogue, the truth is like this.

the reason is simple.

For Wu's enterprise, Wu Xiaozheng is the owner and the maker of the rules of the game. He can do whatever he wants, but others have to play according to his rules of the game.

The reality is so cruel!

Whether in the political arena or in the shopping malls, the roles of people are divided into different roles such as rule-makers, rule-executors, and rule-followers.

Among them, the rule makers are often detached from the rules of the game.

It's like saying the emperor in the past and the current business owner.

Of course, there is a price for detaching from the rules of the game, that is, the consequences need to be borne by oneself.

For example, Boss Chen of Shanda, if the rules of the game he made are unreasonable, he will have to bear the serious consequences of Shanda's decline.

The same goes for Wu Xiaozheng.

"I despise you!"

Wu Xiaozheng's shamelessness was exchanged for Ma Li's words.
