Chapter 380: Wang Hao retires
In the domestic Internet industry, the "iron triangle" of the popular system is well-known.
Unlike Baidu's "Seven Musketeers", Tencent's "Five Tiger Generals", and Alibaba's "Eighteen Arhats", in the years of company development, there are always people who quit or are "purged".
The popular Iron Triangle has been extremely stable, and over the years, there has never been an accident.
From Dream Dragon to Wind, to Cool Wind...... , every new company founded, and even other projects of Lin Feng Investment, such as private equity fund Maple Leaf Investment, third-party payment product Alipay and other businesses, he did not forget to take the other two people of the Iron Triangle, Li Dong and Wang Hao.
Compared with Li Dong's foreign executive position as managing director of Goldman Sachs, he chose to join Menglong and Fengxing to start a business, and Wang Hao has more qualifications.
Wang Hao is Lin Feng's first partner, and the two really started from scratch and started a business together.
It can even be said that in the entrepreneurial process of Lin Feng's life, Wang Hao is the most important partner!
9 years ago, Lin Feng, who had just graduated from university, came to BUPT and fooled Wang Hao, who was about to graduate from graduate school, to start a business together.
Both were penniless at the time.
Lin Feng is 21 years old and Wang Hao is 24 years old.
Wang Hao took Fei Yang and other three juniors to design and develop Menglong's original SMS SMS platform, CRBT CRBT system and other business background systems from scratch, helping Menglong successfully access the mobile Monternet business and digging the first pot of gold in the SP field.
He single-handedly created the technical team of Menglong and even later Fengxing Company.
It is precisely under the encouragement of Wang Hao's successful deeds that batches of BUPT graduates chose to join Menglong or Fengxing when they graduated, and the "BUPT" became the core backbone of the technical team of Fengxing Group.
After Menglong went public, Wang Hao also gained a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, which is said to be a success.
But he always stood quietly behind Lin Feng, willingly following Lin Feng's strategic shift, and gradually separated from the SP business and turned to the Internet.
At the same time, he personally led the team to lead the secret research and development of the FF voice platform, laying the foundation of Fengxing in the field of social networking and instant messaging, and developed Alipay (formerly Kuaifutong) products to solve the problem of online payment of online games, the core income business of Fengxing.
Subsequently, after Lin Feng made up his mind to do mobile phone business, he was once again ordered to return to the field of communications from the Internet industry, and flew to Silicon Valley in person to serve as the president of the Silicon Valley Research Institute, and worked with Andy Rubin on the research and development of Xphone......
It can be said that behind Lin Feng's success at every step, Wang Hao's efforts and support are inseparable!
Of course, Lin Feng has never treated this partner badly.
Wang Hao is the second largest shareholder of Menglong Technology, which has achieved financial freedom since its listing, and in Fengxing Group, Wang Hao also owns more than 10% of the shares, and is the second largest individual shareholder after Lin Feng, and the current market value of these shares has exceeded 10 billion US dollars!
As the co-founder of the company, Wang Hao can be regarded as the top three of the Forbes China Rich List, and Wang Hao can be regarded as a banner figure in the field of domestic Internet CTO.
Lin Feng, Wang Hao, and Li Dong, the "dream combination" of the three in terms of strategy, technology, and management was highly praised by everyone at the time.
Wang Hao's biggest advantage is that he is very low-key, rarely exposed in the media, but concentrates on technology research and development, and is kind to people, and is willing to promote young talents with excellent technology, and has a high prestige in the technical team of Fengxing Group.
At the same time, he has always respected and even admired Lin Feng a little, although Lin Feng is three years younger than him, he has watched Lin Feng continue to create miracles all the way to today.
It can be said that he is a staunch supporter of Lin Feng in every major strategic transformation of the company, and compared with Li Dong's relatively flamboyant personality, Wang Hao often acts as a lubricant in the "Iron Triangle".
Wang Hao is the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, Executive Director and Senior Vice President of Fengxing Group, the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, Executive Director and President of Silicon Valley Research Institute of Coolwind Technology, and he also serves on the boards of directors of more than 10 companies controlled and invested by Fengxing.
It can be said that in the entire "Fengxing Department", Wang Hao is a pivotal core figure.
However, with the continuous emergence of new talents in the group in recent years, Zhang Xiaolong, Wu Hanqing, Han Xiao, Li Jun, Fei Yang and others have assumed the main responsibility in their respective teams......
Wang Hao began to feel that he could let go.
Wang Hao is actually not a person with a strong desire to succeed, otherwise he would not have been at Huawei for many years in his previous life, low-key research and development of technology, and he has never been known.
After Lin Feng was reborn, he invited him to start a business together, which changed his fate.
Over the years, he has been on the road of entrepreneurship, overcoming obstacles, and Wang Hao is the one who implements and realizes every idea of Lin Feng.
Although it has only been 9 years, to be honest, Wang Hao is indeed quite tired.
Moreover, with the development of Fengxing and Kufeng, when it became a giant enterprise that attracted global attention, Wang Hao also felt a little powerless.
In the field of mobile communications, he does not have Li Yinan's years of technical accumulation, and he does not have Andy Rubin's infinite imagination and geek genes.
In the field of the Internet, Lin Feng's next step is to prepare for the main technical points of deep learning, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence......
Therefore, not long ago, Wang Hao communicated with Lin Feng and began to discuss whether he could retire from the front line, on the one hand, he could cultivate his body and spend more time with his family, although he is only 34 years old now, but the long-term technical development work has made his health not very good, and he has no time to accompany his wife and children.
On the other hand, he also wants to take a break, enjoy life, and try more new things.
This time he went to Shenzhen to hold the annual meeting of Coolwind, and Lin Feng was ready to have a good chat with Wang Hao and listen to his thoughts.
Lin Feng is actually a little embarrassed, in the process of constantly developing new businesses and digging cattle, he is always changing Wang Hao's position and asking him to develop new businesses.
Although Lao Wang has never complained, Lin Feng also has to reflect on himself, did he use Lao Wang too harshly......
…………
"To be honest, it's really a bit of a feeling of powerlessness, now it's popular or cool, it's the scale of tens of thousands of people, you know, I'm not strong in management, what about the technical level, now there are a lot of very good engineers and experts in the company, I think I can rest assured that I can hand over the shift......"
Wang Hao sat opposite Lin Feng, took Lin Feng's cigar rarely, and smoked it.
He looked very relaxed and seemed to be in a really good mood.
"I also want to learn from you, take a vacation to bask in the sun at a seaside villa in California, go to Australia to buy a farm, raise kangaroos, and enjoy life with my wife and children. He laughs.
Lin Feng was a little speechless.
In fact, Wang Hao wants to take a break, which is understandable.
After thinking about it, Lin Feng said: "Lao Wang, I understand your thoughts, you have been too busy in the past few years, you should take a break and spend time with your family...... But don't you have to be in such a hurry? You want to step down now, who is the popular CTO who is suitable to take over? And the Silicon Valley Research Institute, you can't do it without you. ”
Lin Feng paused, and some true feelings were revealed: "We have been doing it bit by bit from nothing over the years, whether it is popular or cool, it is all condensed with your hard work, are you really willing? Moreover, with you by my side, I am used to it...... Otherwise, you take a vacation for a while and then come back!"
Wang Hao was also a little distracted: "Mr. Lin, seriously, I'm really reluctant! But I'm doing technology, and in terms of technology, I can't fake it at all, and I can feel that I'm a little powerless......"
"In Coolwind, a man is a real genius in communication technology, he is very suitable to be a CTO, and he can control the situation; over there, Fei Yang, Han Xiao and Li Jun have all grown up, Xiaolong is also very strong in product research and development, if the CTO is popular, I suggest that Han Xiao take over, he has always been the head of the technical engineering business group, and most of the company's engineer group are his subordinates. ”
"As for the Silicon Valley Research Institute, haven't you been saying that artificial intelligence is the next new trend? I've been researching this direction for a long time, and in the field of deep learning in the world, Yann LeCun, Yoshua Bengio and Geoffrey Hinton are all top scientists. LeCun has communicated that if we can invite any of them to join the institute and set up an artificial intelligence laboratory, I believe that we can greatly enhance our competitiveness and technical advantages in the field of artificial intelligence in the future!"
Wang Hao said with a smile: "For the better development of the company, I should let more outstanding talents go to the right positions, which is the right choice...... Besides, I just retired from the front line, and I didn't sell the company's shares and quit completely. I can change the form and continue to help you. ”
Lin Feng was very touched, but he didn't expect Wang Hao to think about it so comprehensively......
After thinking about it, he finally nodded: "Okay, I agree that you will rest for a while, but this matter really can't be rushed, these arrangements you said must be put on the horse and given a ride, right? How can it take a year?...... And you said it yourself, just retreat from the front line. ”
"In this case, you can retire from the board of directors, and you can also resign from your current position...... , but after you have all these things arranged, it will be a year later. A year later, I'll give you a big vacation! Whether you want to go to the beach to bask in the sun, or go to Australia to raise kangaroos, whatever you like. But after resting, you have to come back, you are the co-founder of the company, and you are also a major shareholder, you must also take responsibility, you can't leave it alone!"
"When the time comes, you will be the same as me, you will come up with ideas on the grand strategy, cultivate and train new people, I am going to establish the company's corporate culture college in Fengxing and Kufeng, and then you and I will go to give lectures to inherit our entrepreneurial experience and the company's culture. Lin Feng thought of an idea.
Wang Hao smiled and nodded: "That's okay, I definitely have the right to speak in this regard." ”
The two laughed for a while, and Lin Feng sighed: "Lao Wang, seriously, without you, Fengxing would never be able to go today! I have never said thank you, and now I want to say, thank you for not disliking me for having nothing back then, and for being willing to start a business with me!"
Wang Hao said: "Don't say that, I should thank you for giving me a chance! Mr. Lin, without your leadership, we would never be able to get to where we are today!"
Lin Feng smiled and couldn't help but sigh again.
It seems that today he is also sentimental.
Perhaps, this is life.
