Chapter 189: On Self-Worth
In fact, people are a hypocritical animal after all, regardless of whether they are young or not. For example, we care about self-worth, we care about dignity, we care about respect, and so on. Do people talk to ants about dignity? It's an obvious question, when you look like an ant in the eyes of others, how can people talk about dignity to you. There is only one way to obtain these external objects, to improve yourself.
Today is not a good day, at least relative to Baidu, Liu Jianguo, one of the seven musketeers who single-handedly established Baidu, officially resigned, which marks that there are not many of Baidu's seven elders left, even if they still retain Baidu's shares, but leaving here, they no longer have the mark of Baidu.
Leaving seems to be a relief, as Lin Fan, who has a deep relationship with Baidu, also participated in this farewell party, which means that Liu Jianguo was not swept away, but broke up peacefully. But this farewell party will hurt both sides even more, at least Robin Li doesn't have too many smiles, and Liu Jianguo is not so happy.
"Entrepreneurship is a difficult road, more and more people will be left behind, but this road is still going on, this is an endless road, the only thing we can do is not forget the original intention. ”
At this time, Robin Li's figure was a little sluggish, far less glamorous than the outside world sees, Lin Fan sighed, "What do you say we are pursuing sometimes? The realization of self-worth? The embodiment of social value? Are we paying too much for this?"
The reason for Liu Jianguo's departure Li Yanhong also knew, but he didn't keep it, the contradiction between the two people is an unsolvable problem, neither of them will give in, maybe Liu Jianguo's departure is the best result.
Lin Fan sighed again, "You said that so many ancients returned to the mountains and forests, is it because they were at a loss because of life?"
"Xiaolin, you are too pessimistic. Robin Li smiled, "What is the difference between people and the walking dead if they don't have dreams? These pessimistic emotions are a burden to us, life must continue, dreams must continue, career must continue, we have no time to be sad." Robin Li has forced himself to get out of his sadness, and when he told himself that he had actually expected this day for a long time, everything was not so difficult to accept.
"Well, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let him go. ”
......
café, Lin Fan didn't expect Liu Jianguo to take the initiative to ask him, in fact, the friendship between the two was not so deep, but Lin Fan didn't know that he was one of the inducements that caused Liu Jianguo to leave.
"I can feel that you're not very happy. ”
Liu Jianguo snorted, "Mr. Lin, I think it's useless to talk about this now." ”
"OK, I'm not a person who is entangled in the past, does Mr. Liu come to me for anything to talk about?"
"I regard Mr. Lin as a friend, and I just want to hear some blessings. Speaking of this, Liu Jianguo paused, "A few days ago, I received an invitation from an old colleague, who used to be the chief architect of Baidu, he founded a website, and wanted to ask me to be the CEO, I have agreed, everyone is realizing their own value, and I can't lag behind." ”
Liu Jianguo's eyes were very sincere, so sincere that Lin Fan's heart was a little sad, maybe Liu Jianguo also knew that when he left Baidu, the friends he made in Baidu would be equivalent to saying goodbye. The only person who has a close relationship with Baidu is himself, and perhaps keeping in touch with himself is the only consolation in his heart.
Yes, this person is not wrong, he did not betray anyone, nor did he do anything to be sorry for anyone, he just made his own choice and chose the life he wanted to live.
"Mr. Liu, if you treat me as a friend, promise me one thing, I must come and help me when I can't get through or I need you. Lin Fan is serious, the founder of Internet search technology, a well-known expert in the field of domestic search to do business, this is really tyrannical, and as far as Lin Fan knows, this venture was not successful, he just wanted to give Liu Jianguo a preventive shot in advance, which is the only thing that this honest man can do.
Liu Jianguo laughed and said, "Mr. Lin, aren't you cursing me to fail?"
"I'm serious. ”
Liu Jianguo was stunned, "I received this intention, if there is really that day, I will go to you." ”
.......
As Robin Li said, life always has to go on, and Lin Fan has to continue his work, because Liu Jianguo's little sadness is pressed deep in his heart. Han Sanping's movements were very fast, and the theater management talents quickly helped Lin Fan get ready, but Han Sanping gave Lin Fan a problem, two at once, Lin Fan had to make his own choice.
Both of them have worked in Huaying Group and have also worked in theaters, and their professional ability is almost undoubted, and now both of them are engaged in film and television-related publicity and planning, the only difference is that one is in his forties and the other is in his thirties.
There was a knock on the door, and the person who came in looked old and dignified, it was the elder Wang Shanhai.
"Mr. Lin is good. ”
"Give me a reason why you can stay. Lin Fan went straight to the point, and it was very clear that if this question was answered well, he could stay, Meng Ling, who was accompanying the reader, was a little helpless, why was his boss so violent?
Wang Jianghai was not frightened, but was stunned for a moment, and immediately calmed down, which can be described as a moderate demeanor and a general's demeanor, "Mr. Lin, I have always thought that the theater, as the embodiment and ultimate measure of the value of the movie, should have a higher status." More industry rules should be set by us. I will strive to establish a cinema consortium, similar to the existence of the cinema alliance, to lead the formulation of industry rules and win more benefits for the cinema chain. ”
Lin Fan smiled, "OK, I understand, the company will reply to you later." ”
Wang Jianghai's goal is very far-sighted, and in the future, the form of a cinema alliance will indeed appear, but Lin Fan still wants to hear another reason.
"Mr. Lin, I'm Zhang Qiaofeng. ”
Very handsome and very damp, Lin Fan made a first impression in his heart, "Give me a reason why you can stay." ”
Zhang Qiaofeng was stunned, and pondered for a moment before he spoke, "I learned that the scale of the new cinema chain has been reduced by half after being acquired by Mr. Lin, if I take over the leadership of the cinema chain, under the condition of ensuring the basic box office, I will attract theaters to join through various promotions within a year, restore the cinema chain to the previous level as soon as possible, and then continue to expand ......"
"I, you passed my question. ”
"Huh?" Zhang Qiaofeng and Meng Ling were both shocked, and the result came out too quickly.
The boss has decided, and Meng Ling can only congratulate, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang." ”
"Mr. Meng is polite, please take care of me in the future. ”
When Zhang Qiaofeng left, Meng Ling could finally ask the doubts in her heart, "Mr. Lin, it is clear that Wang Jianghai is more mature and stable, but you chose Zhang Qiaofeng? Because is it realistic? Why do I think it is more false to restore the scale before the theater within a year!"
"First of all, both of them are capable people, right?"
"Of course, since Mr. Han recommended it to you, he naturally won't let it go. ”
"That's it. Lin Fan looked directly into Meng Ling's eyes, "Ambitions sound good, and goals are ambitious and forward-looking, but what does it have to do with me? What I want is someone who can do something for me and get something for me." Zhang Qiaofeng has the ability and understands that I spend money in return, not to spend money to support people, so why not use him?"
Meng Ling was dumbfounded......
