Chapter 891 Only the state officials are allowed to set fires
The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked.
In Chinese history, such a phrase is often used to describe the ruthlessness of emperors.
There are too many such examples in history.
For example, Han Xin, a famous founding hero of the Han Dynasty, before and after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, had made great military achievements such as pacifying the Wei State, defeating Dai Zhao in the Battle of the Backwater, and subjugating the Yan State in the north, and because of this, he worshiped the Xiangguo.
As a representative of the "war-seeking" faction of Chinese military thought, Han Xin was once praised by Xiao He as "a national warrior", and even Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, once commented: "The battle must be won, the attack must be won, I am not as good as Han Xin." ”
But such a meritorious hero, in the end, it is inevitable to be killed, and even the fate of the three clans, before he was executed, he also issued a "cunning rabbit, lackeys cooked, birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden, the enemy country is broken, and the ministers are killed".
In the Tang Dynasty, the famous founding heroes in history, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chigong, Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin, etc., became typical of Lianggongzang after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
……
There are too many such examples in history.
In the eyes of many, this belongs to the ruthlessness of the emperor.
Not really.
Some of them were heroes who were cooked as good bows and lackeys, and the reason why they had such an ending was not only because of the suspicion of being a meritorious master, but also because of 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 pampered and arrogant, and they are pampered.
For example, Han Xin, the reason why he didn't end well is related to his pampering and intention to rebel.
Another example is the eldest grandson 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 the identity of Li Shimin's eldest brother of Tang Taizong to put his qualifications in front of Tang Gaozong and oppose him to establish Wu Zetian as the queen, so he fell out of favor and was framed for rebellion and suicide.
……
Therefore, the reason why there is the result of "all the birds flying, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook" is not only related to the ruthlessness of the emperor's family, but also related to the unprofessionalism of the heroes and patriarchs themselves.
In this regard, the management of enterprises by entrepreneurs is actually the same as the management of the state by emperors.
In the history of the development of modern enterprises in China, there have been many such cases.
For example, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the grand name of the Grand Names.
The company, which was founded in 99 and listed on the NASDAQ in 2004, was once known as the leader in the domestic Internet field, and the limelight at that time even overshadowed Ali and Tencent, and the founder Chen Tianqiao once became the richest man in China.
But such a great company gradually declined after ten years on the market.
The reason for this is not only related to the decision-making of the people at the helm, but also related to the imperfection of the enterprise system and the unprofessional work of the elders.
As far as Wu Xiaozheng knows, Shanda actually had the opportunity to grow and become a behemoth.
In 2004, in order to seek a listing on the NASDAQ, Chen Tianqiao hired Tang Jun, known as the emperor of Chinese workers and the president of Microsoft China, as the president of Shanda Network.
After Tang Jun took office, he not only helped Shanda successfully list on the NASDAQ, but also helped Shanda complete major measures such as the acquisition of Sina and the formulation of a free-to-play strategy, which enabled Shanda to develop rapidly.
It is said that at his suggestion, Shanda was almost ready to acquire Tencent, which was in the initial stage of development at that time, but was unfortunately vetoed by Chen Tianqiao.
But such a talented professional manager left Shanda four years later, and Shanda quickly declined.
As for the reason why Tang Jun left Shanda, on the one hand, he could not reach an agreement with the boss in terms of development concepts, and on the other hand, it was related to the complicated relationship between Shanda insiders and the fact that the elders did not listen to the command.
There is a more famous similar case, that is, the famous Du Niang.
In 2016, Du Niang, who was caught in a development bottleneck, hired Lu Qilai, a well-known professional manager and former executive vice president of Microsoft, as Du Niang's chief operating officer at a critical juncture.
After Lu Qi arrived, he immediately became the number two person under the boss of Du Niang 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, cut what should be cut, and reformulated Du Niang's development strategy.
His initiatives have been fruitful.
About this, the data proves it.
Before he took office, Du Niang's stock price was at a low of $160, with a market capitalization of just over $40 billion.
And more than a year after he took office, Du Niang's stock price has risen to more than $280, with a market value of more than 90 billion.
But just when Du Niang's market value was about to break through the $100 billion mark, on May 18, 2018, Du Niang's official suddenly announced that Lu Qi had resigned due to personal and family reasons.
As soon as the news of his resignation came out, Du Niang's stock price fell by as much as 9.54% on the same day, and the market value shrank by $9.8 billion.
The whole industry was shocked by this.
It is said that the real reason why Lu Qi resigned is also related to the fact that there are too many meritorious veterans within Du Niang and the personnel relationship is too complicated.
To put it bluntly, it was because of the non-cooperation of some veterans that Lu Qi's operation idea was greatly hindered.
……
As a person who has come over, Wu Xiaozheng certainly doesn't want such a thing to happen to Wu's enterprise.
This is the reason why he dealt with Li Xiangyi ruthlessly.
If Wu's enterprise wants to develop and grow, it needs to formulate strict rules of the game from the beginning, so that employees can develop good professional qualities.
Regarding Wu Xiaozheng's explanation, among the several girls present, Zhuang Ningwen, who has worked in a large American company and is more professional, can still understand and support him, but the other three are a little dazed.
Ma Li asked jokingly: "Zhenghan, if you also step on a few boats like Li Xiangyi, will you also spare yourself?"
Wu Xiaozheng: "......"
Are you trying to embarrass me?
He immediately blurted out, "How is that possible?"
Girls: "......"
Are you "only allowed the governors to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps"?
Wu Xiaozheng said cheekily: "The company is mine, I can play how I want, who can exempt me?"
It's a scoundrel, but 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 politics or shopping malls, people's roles are divided into different roles such as rule-makers, rule-enforcers, and rule-followers.
In this, the rule-makers are often outside the rules of the game.
It's like saying that the emperor of the past is the owner of the business now.
Of course, there is a price to be paid for being out of the rules of the game, and that is to bear the consequences.
It's like saying that Boss Chen of Shanda, if the rules of the game he formulated are unreasonable, he will have to bear the serious consequences of Shanda's decline.
Wu Xiaozheng is the same.
"I despise you!"
Wu Xiaozheng's shamelessness was exchanged for Ma Li's sentence.
