There is often only a half-step difference between a madman and a genius.

This is a very interesting statement that Wang Haoran saw on the Internet in his previous life.

The same can be said in business.

Those who are half a step ahead of the times tend to succeed easily, while those who are one step ahead of the times become failed maniacs.

Sohu Mall is such an example.

In 2000, an era when the Internet had just been accepted by the domestic public, Zhang Chaoyang sharply aimed at the online shopping platform and launched Sohu Mall.

If 8848, known as the "leader of China's e-commerce", was short-lived and failed because it missed the opportunity to go public, then the reason why Sohu Mall finally disappeared without a trace was that it was too advanced.

In order to make his Sohu Mall able to compete with 8848 on the same stage, Zhang Chaoyang chose an industry that 8848 did not set foot in: household appliances.

Zhang Chaoyang's idea can't be said to be anything wrong, but Sohu Mall did not achieve the expected success, because one thing Zhang Chaoyang did not realize is that in this era when most people don't know what online shopping is, few netizens dare to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to buy electronic products from the Internet.

What should I do if the money is pulled from the bank card and I can't receive it?

What should I do if I pay the money and the thing is broken by the logistics?

Is it genuine? What if it's a fake?

What should I do if I am not satisfied with what I have received?

......

There are too many, too many problems like these, which are really something that every Internet user who is new to Internet shopping will worry about.

Because of this, the failure of Sohu Mall is actually an inevitable thing, from the very beginning, Zhang Chaoyang chose the wrong entry point for the Sohu Mall he created.

If Zhang Chaoyang had chosen the same Sohu Mall as Mr. Ma's Taobao, using low-end, practical, and inexpensive daily necessities to promote the public's habit of online shopping, would Zhang Chaoyang's Sohu Mall be successful?

Wang Haoran didn't know, but it didn't prevent Wang Haoran from thinking like this.

Countless years flashed in his mind, and finally Wang Haoran shook his head lightly at Xu Mingwen and said, "I know about this matter, you don't have to say anything to Zhang Chaoyang, I have an idea, and after dinner, I will talk to him personally." ”

Xu inscription is not clear: "What thoughts." ”

Wang Haoran smiled mysteriously: "Don't say it yet, I'm not sure if you, the senior brother, are willing to accept my idea, and I'll talk to him later." ”

As soon as Wang Haoran said this, Xu Mingwen naturally didn't want to ask again, and the two turned to talk about other topics.

Xu Mingwen: "By the way, last time you said that you wanted to meet the person in charge of this event, what about it, still can't you see him?" ”

"Well, I'll go back to the office and wait for him first, and you let him go directly to my office. Wang Haoran nodded, then got up and walked out.

Wang Haoran's chairman's office is with Xu Mingwen's president's office, and he didn't take two steps to go out, Wang Haoran picked up the work card hanging around his neck and brushed the door, and the office door opened in response to the ding.

Although Wang Haoran doesn't necessarily work in the office once a month, the office still doesn't have a trace of dust, and the tables and chairs are clean, so it can be seen that people often come to clean it.

Before he sat down for a few minutes, he heard a knock on the door, Wang Haoran interrupted his thoughts and said, "Please come in." ”

The one who came in was a young man in his thirties, dressed in a gray suit clean and decent, with a hint of surprise in his respectful expression, seeing Wang Haoran looking at himself, the trace of consternation disappeared in an instant, and he bowed slightly and said, "Hello chairman." ”

Wang Haoran nodded, and then pointed to the chair beside the man: "You are Link, don't be so polite, sit first." ”

Hearing that Wang Haoran asked him to sit down, instead of sitting down, Lin Ke changed his expression to a more humble expression, and said, "It's okay, I'll just stand, Chairman, do you have anything to do with me?"

The last sentence is not asked by Link under normal circumstances, no matter what his chairman wants to do, since he asked Xu Mingwen to call him, he will definitely say it, and he doesn't need to ask more.

However, Link is not normal now, since Xu Mingwen told himself with a serious face ten minutes ago that the chairman let him go to his office, Link's heart has been a little abrupt.

Link Ke, born in a small county town in the northwest, is thirty-seven years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve and graduated from high school.

Although he only graduated from high school and never even went to college, Link is by no means bad among his peers around him today, because Link works hard enough.

Before the age of eighteen after graduating from high school, Link left the remote county town alone and came to the big city, during which he worked in a factory and stopped at the construction site to move bricks.

As the saying goes, personnel and publicity are not separated from each other, and Link finally became the head of the human resources department of the joint venture from a small employee of external publicity with his own efforts, not only married his girlfriend who had been in love for several years, but also had a lovely daughter.

Of course, if Link's life continues to develop smoothly like this, then Wang Haoran will definitely not see Link today.

The good times didn't last long, and academic qualifications were Link's hard injuries, and in the end, in the company's internal power struggle, Link was swept away by the boss on the grounds that his education was too low.

From being the head of the department to being fired from the company is a big blow to anyone, and Link is no exception, after two or three months of decadence, just when Link was about to fight again, a bigger blow came, and the wife who had been married for three years couldn't stand her husband's current downfall and proposed to divorce Link by agreement.

To be honest, when he first heard his wife say this, Link was full of anger and almost lost his mind, but after calming down, Link didn't blame his wife, Link's wife is called Lin Jing, who is a full ten years younger than Link, not only young and beautiful, but also a college student who graduated from a prestigious university.

Why did Lin Jing, who was ten years younger than herself, beautiful, and highly educated, agree to be her girlfriend and finally marry her and have children for herself?

After the anger, Link, who was originally very rational, knew very well in his heart that in addition to the ethereal reason of love, it was also because he was the head of the high-ranking personnel department at that time, and his wife was just a small employee under him.

To a certain extent, for Lin Jing, the position of the head of the personnel department of the joint venture makes up for Lin Ke's shortcomings such as "being a little older than himself, looking a little ordinary, and having a lower education than himself", so Lin Jing will agree to Lin Ke's pursuit.

This is not difficult to understand, not to mention that Link himself is a smart person, after understanding, although he does not blame his wife, it does not mean that Link wants to give up this marriage, not to mention that although the two did not talk about much affection, the relationship between the husband and wife is still very harmonious, not to mention that there is a very good three-year-old daughter.

Since he didn't want to divorce, he had to make his wife change her mind, Link didn't choose to plead in a low voice, because Link knew that some things could not be changed by begging, not to mention that this matter was caused by his unemployment.

Finally, on the afternoon of the day his wife filed for divorce by mutual agreement, Link signed an agreement with his wife.

It's not a divorce agreement, or it's not a divorce agreement at the moment, the content of the agreement is very simple: three months, as long as Link can find a job that is not worse than the original salary within three months, then Lin Jing's divorce proposal will be invalidated, and he promises not to mention divorce in the future;

Link signed this agreement with the mentality of breaking the boat, and continued to run to various companies to fail in the interview scene one after another, and two months passed in a flash, just when Link was disheartened and ready to give up, he received an interview invitation from Aihua.

The person who interviewed Link that day was Xu Mingwen and the director of Aihua's personnel department, and the director of the original personnel department glanced at the resume handed over by Link and prepared to interview the next one, but Xu Mingwen gave Link ten minutes to introduce himself.

In just these ten minutes, Link successfully persuaded Xu Mingwen with his hard work in his past career, and was appointed by Xu Mingwen as the head of the Propaganda Department not long after it was established.

Although the interview was successful, Link was not very happy, because Link had never heard of Aihua Technology before.

Except for netizens who often surf the Internet, most people don't know what Aihua Technology does, let alone compare it with the joint venture that used to work for nearly 10,000 workers in China.

Therefore, Link thinks that the treatment of the director of the publicity department of such a little-known company is definitely not as good as his last job, and he only hopes that there will not be too much difference, so that he will have the opportunity to let his wife be accommodating.

But some things are not what they seem on the surface, it is not who is famous who treats employees, Internet companies are originally treated better than traditional enterprises, not to mention Aihua Technology, which is not bad for money.

After the interview was successful, in the face of Xu Mingwen's offer, Link could hardly believe that it was true.

The level of the director of the propaganda department is M2, the basic salary is 18,000, the year-end bonus is 0-12 months salary, five insurances and one housing fund, housing subsidies, paid leave, performance bonuses and various benefits make Link almost can't believe that he is worth so much money, just a rough calculation, even if the year-end bonus is not a dime, the money in hand a year is more than 300,000.

And what about Link's last job? It was 10,000 yuan, and the maximum amount he received in a year would not exceed 150,000.

It is conceivable how happy Lin Jing was when she knew that Link's new job earned at least twice as much money as the original every year, and after calling Aihua to confirm in person, Lin Jing not only threw the agreement into the trash basket in front of Link on the spot, but also deliberately cooked a lot of dishes to celebrate, as for the boudoir joy that night unlocked more poses than before, it is not enough to elaborate.

All this is due to this new job, so Link worked harder than ever after entering Aihua, when Xu Mingwen said that Wang Haoran asked to promote a few songs, Link subconsciously thought of bundling the song with "Campus Farm" to promote, playing games and giving CDs.

Killing two birds with one stone, it can not only promote a few songs, but also promote the newly launched "Campus Farm", of course, everyone agreed to Link's proposal, and Xu Mingwen even performed Link on the spot.

Of course, Link was happy, but now that he saw Wang Haoran, he couldn't be happier.

Why?

Because for nearly a month, Link heard something from the mouths of many of Aihua's old employees.

The chairman of the company is very low-key and does not like to be famous.

But his own idea made Wang Haoran famous, and in recent times, the topic of discussion among netizens has always been about Wang Haoran.

So when Xu Mingwen informed Link Ke to the chairman's office with a serious face, Lin Ke thought of this matter almost instantly, and immediately felt bad, for fear that he would lose his job because of this, how could he dare to sit down according to Wang Haoran's words.

Not only did he not dare to sit, but he also had to stand respectfully, hoping to make Wang Haoran sympathize with him and not dismiss himself.

To be honest, Link's thoughts are normal, no matter whether his subordinates do anything wrong or not, as long as he offends the boss, it is light to let you go.

However, Wang Haoran never thought about it this way.

Just kidding, although Link is not highly educated, nearly ten years of work experience is definitely more important than a diploma, not to mention that the other party has just joined the company for a month and has done Aihua's propaganda work impressively, and it is too late to reward the other party, and he will fire people if his head is broken.

There is no boss who is unwilling to show closeness to capable subordinates, Wang Haoran is naturally no exception, seeing that Link is unwilling to sit, he took the initiative to occupy it, and said with a smile: "I have a self-requirement that I treat myself as a person under others, and treat others as a person above others." Since you don't want to make chairs, let's go sit on the couch and talk. ”

After speaking, Wang Haoran walked to the sofa for the guests and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and then poured another cup of tea and handed it to Link, who was surprised.

It seems that the young chairman didn't call himself here because of that incident, and he was worried about it for a long time.

Link, who has a career of more than ten years, can naturally see Wang Haoran's overtures, and his original worries are gone, so he carefully takes the teacup and sits down on the other side of Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran glanced at Link Ke, who was still a little nervous, changed to a more relaxed sitting posture, and said to Link with a smile: "Director Lin should have been in the company for less than a month, how is it, are you still used to it?"

Hearing Wang Haoran ask like this, Link changed a very satisfied expression and said, "Habit, habit, to be honest, it's much better than my last job." ”

Wang Haoran nodded, and said, "Although it is the first time we have met, I have also seen the personal information that Director Lin filled in after you joined the company, I remember that Director Lin seems to have a daughter, right?"

As the chairman of the company, it is not strange to have seen his personal information, but Lin Kezhi didn't expect Wang Haoran to even remember that he had a daughter, nodded with some surprise, and said with a smile: "My daughter's name is Lin Kejing, and she is three years old this year." ”

Wang Haoran said with a smile: "The three-year-old little princess, she must be very cute, I will invite Director Lin to dinner when I have the opportunity, and remember to bring the little princess with me when the time comes." ”

Hearing Wang Haoran say this, as if thinking of his daughter's cuteness on weekdays, Link smiled and said, "Definitely." ”
