This is after the end of last year, the company's largest shareholder and former CEO Lin Feng stepped down as CEO and was reappointed as the chairman of the board of directors of Menglong Company, and the CEO position was taken over by Li Dong, the former COO\CFO. Another appointment involving a number of key senior management positions.
Wang Hao, the company's second largest shareholder and former CTO (chief technology officer), will step down as CTO on February 1, 2004 and become vice chairman of the company's board of directors. The CTO position was taken over by Liu Hui, former vice president and technical director of the company. Liu Hui is the founding father of Menglong Company, participated in the research and development and construction of all system platforms of the company, and has been responsible for the operation and management of the company's technical system.
The Board of Directors of the Company has appointed Ms. Li Chuyuan as a Director and the new CFO (Chief Financial Officer) of the Company to succeed the vacancy left by the promotion of the former CFO Li Dong to CEO. Ms. Li Chuyuan previously served as a partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers in Beijing, has extensive experience in finance and auditing, and has participated in many listing, mergers and acquisitions and restructuring cases.
At the same time, the company also promoted Wang Huiyao, the former vice president of sales, as the company's new COO, and Zhang Yan, the former vice president of marketing, as the company's new CMO.
So far, the senior management team of Menglong in the early stage of listing has carried out a comprehensive replacement of the old and the new.
Lin Feng, the founder, actual controller and largest shareholder of the company, and Wang Hao, the co-founder and second largest shareholder, have all separated from the actual operation of the company and continue to maintain influence on the company only at the board level.
Menglong Company has formed a new generation of senior management team with Li Dong as the core.
Of course, everyone knows that the real boss of Menglong is still Lin Feng.
It's just that both the industry, the media, and the capital market have understood that Lin Feng's next focus has been on another Internet company he founded.
Popular online.
An Internet predator that is quietly rising.
…………
While the outside world thought that Lin Feng had left Menglong's business, Lin Feng was sitting in the middle of the executive meeting room within Menglong Company, holding a meeting with the management team.
"Jennifer, our new CFO, everyone should have met before, before the meeting, let's give Jennifer a warm welcome!"
Lin Feng was the first to applaud, and everyone laughed and applauded.
In the senior management team present, there are now two women, Zhang Yan and Li Mengyuan, except for Li Mengyuan, everyone is an old man in the company, and now they have been promoted, they are in a very good mood, and the atmosphere of the meeting is also very relaxed.
Lin Feng continued: "Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the outside world, and they all say that after Lao Wang and I brought Menglong to the market, we will leave it alone, so today I will still hold a meeting for everyone and make up my mind." Rest assured, first of all, Joe, as a co-partner of the company, now serves as CEO, which means that all three of our partners have not left, and secondly, in the overall strategy of the company's development, the board of directors is still the final decision-making body, so I will continue to control the company at the strategic level and direction. ”
He looked at Li Dong, who was sitting next to him with a smile on his face: "Of course, in the future, it will mainly depend on Joe to lead everyone to continue to struggle!"
Lin Feng didn't wait for Li Dong to be humble, and continued: "The reason why I came to you for today's meeting is to give you a good chat about Menglong's overall development ideas. I probably won't pay much attention to detail in the future, but all of you here are executives, and Joe alone can't do it all, so I want everyone to know about it. ”
Speaking of which, Lin Feng really rarely has meetings with Menglong's senior management team, but on the contrary, there are executive meetings on the Fengxing side, basically every day.
Menglong's side has been talking to Li Dong for a long time, and then Li Dong will organize the team below to start doing things.
Lin Feng felt that at the beginning of the formation of this Menglong new team, such a meeting should be held to unify his thoughts, and of course, to strengthen his own influence on everyone.
Although he is now out of front-line business management, he must make it clear to everyone that he, Lin Feng, is the boss of the company.
"Many of you here are veterans of Menglong at the beginning of the business, like Liu Hui, you are the fifth employee of the company, except for me, Lao Wang, Sha Hong, you came with Fei Yang and Han Xiao, that is, in the back apartment, we started a business from scratch together; Zhang Yan came to the company with Zhijiao after the business access in Beijing, and single-handedly created the company's marketing team, Zhijiao went to the popularity, and you still stayed in Menglong; Huiyao came with Joe, Menglong began to take off rapidly, just after you came. ……”
He casually talked to everyone, and for a while the eyes of several people were a little moist, recalling the time when they joined the company.
Menglong really did it with their own hands.
Unlike Lin Feng, who has a lofty career in his heart, for these people, Menglong is their career, hope, and dream.
Therefore, Lin Feng was relieved to hand over Menglong to these people.
"Menglong from the day of its inception, with the opportunity of the rapid development of China's mobile communications industry, all the way to the present, it can be said that it is stepping on the pulse of the times, and does not mean that we are really the strongest! ”
Lin Feng's face turned pale and he began the main topic of today's meeting.
"Wireless value-added service has its biggest advantage, is a smooth payment channel, a huge user group, it can be said that with these two points, as long as we can maintain a good cooperative relationship with operators, access to operators' channel resources, and can provide high-quality products and content, we will not worry about revenue and profitability.
But at the same time, this is the biggest drawback...... , too dependent on the operator's channels and policies. ”
"As we all know, we first proposed industry self-discipline, that is, to a certain extent, to gain the goodwill of operators, and at the same time reshuffle the industry. You can see this action as a kind of advance prediction of the operator's policy. I expect that just this year, the relevant authorities may introduce regulatory policies for the industry. I hope that everyone can be mentally prepared in advance, do a good job of prevention, and do not let the company's performance be affected. ”
"I dare to predict now that with the tightening of the supervision of operators, the life of SP will become more and more difficult! This requires us to improve our competitiveness, make business breakthroughs, and become a breakthrough in the industry's predicament!"
"I've been saying before, what are the advantages of Menglong compared to other SP companies?
"Innovation includes two aspects, one is the innovation of the business form, which is actually a very difficult thing, throughout the wireless value-added services are more developed in South Korea and other countries, such as CRBT such a phenomenal business is gone, then we can only analyze from the needs of users, what else can be done, to seize the next opportunity. For example, the development of mobile phones is becoming more and more like computers, but the entertainment of mobile phones is a kind of fragmented time consumption, and we may need to work on micro-innovations such as fragmented reading, fragmented short videos, and fragmented mini-games in the next step. “
"Another aspect is the innovation of product content, which also provides ringtones and ringtones for download, and we have songs that other families do not, which is where our brother company Fengxing can help Menglong. I also hope that in the future, there will be more product content, and Menglong can communicate with Fengxing and collaborate. ”
"And focus is to be professional, concentrated, and even delve into business. I remember when I held a meeting with the national regional managers, I mentioned the analysis and research of data, the analysis and research of the user market, the analysis and research of the operator's channels, etc., you think about it, if the employees of Menglong are more familiar with the business and understand the users than the employees of the operator, will the operator be willing to cooperate with Menglong? listen to the opinions of Menglong? will distribute market activities and channel resources to Menglong? ”
"Therefore, I hope that everyone will always keep these two points firmly in mind, which is the foundation of Menglong in the field of wireless value-added technology. ”
"In addition, you can rest assured that the board of directors of the company, Mr. Wang and Joe, will also consider the company's new business direction in addition to the wireless value-added business, the arrival of Jennifer, also strengthens our strength in this area, soon the company will have a series of acquisitions and strategic layout, Menglong will have more future-oriented new initiatives, in order to maintain the leading position in China's mobile entertainment market." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Feng said with a smile: "I don't know if you have heard? The company is purchasing a new headquarters building, whether it is the company's brand or influence, it will be on a new level, in addition to the office environment, the company has a variety of benefits for employees, including new staff restaurants, shuttles, option incentives, etc. Menglong is a people-oriented company, and human resources are the company's core advantage resources, which please keep in mind. In your daily work, you should also pay attention to tapping talents. ”
"In the end, Menglong and Fengxing are both companies founded by me, and there will be appropriate personnel turnover, you are not limited to your current position, I will consider your career development as a whole according to everyone's performance and performance, Menglong has no ceiling, and Fengxing has no ....... ”
Everyone's eyes flashed with surprise, and they unconsciously applauded vigorously.
Lin Feng's words can be described as well-intentioned.
From business direction, strategic layout, to company benefits and treatment, to the career planning and growth space of personnel.
Everything was laid out for them.
The new Menglong team suddenly found that it was not the time to lie on the credit book of the company's listing.
The road ahead is difficult.
Luckily, there are lights ahead.
