Lin Feng felt that 2005 seemed to be the fastest year since his rebirth, as if he didn't feel anything, and it passed all at once.

A few things were done this year.

In life, he and Ye Weiyu got married...... Again.......

In her past and present lives, she was his bride. It's amazing to think about.

In terms of business, the "open platform strategy" was launched, "World of Warcraft" was launched, a number of new phenomenal companies were invested, and the company moved into the new headquarters building.

There were no surprises or thrills, everything was as planned.

Lin Feng has been laying out all this for a long time, just waiting for the arrival of 2005.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the popularity has been soaring all the way, although it is not like Alibaba and Baidu to make any big news, but the branches and leaves are spreading, the roots are deep, and the status of the industry giant is more stable.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, felt that there was no sense of accomplishment worth mentioning.

It has only been 4 years since he was reborn, and the Lin Feng in his previous life seems to be getting farther and farther away from him, and many times he can't remember the trivial things in his previous life.

A new life, a high position, wealth, and power, all of these are changing Lin Feng little by little.

Human adaptability is very strong, as the so-called residence migration qi, nourishment and migration of the body.

Lin Feng would often sit in his office on the top floor of the Fengxing Building, drinking tea and meditating.

Did he have the qualities and abilities to succeed in his own right, or did he rely solely on a born-again "prophet" to accomplish all this?

He was proud of his achievements in the past few years after his rebirth, but he also had a secret fear in his heart.

At this stage of career development, it can be said that he has greatly changed the history and pattern of the Internet, and the volume and influence of the popular have surpassed that of Tencent in the previous life in this time period, although because of the popular implementation of the "open platform strategy", there is no "copying and innovation" like Tencent in the previous life, causing hostility in the whole industry, but it is still enough to affect the process of the industry.

The more this is the case, the more cautious he is about the follow-up development and strategy of Fengxing, because at this time, every step out of the fashion may cause a chain reaction in the industry.

When Lin Feng is in his current position, the problems he faces, the problems he thinks, the angle and the height need to be different from ordinary people.

This is a great test of his mind, but also his ability to control and learn by himself.

At the same time, he does not want to give up his "prophetic" advantage, on the one hand, he must control the popularity and not change the process of industry development too quickly.

It's easy to get to this day, Lin Feng doesn't want to become a meteor, but to continue to be strong, and eventually become the most dazzling sun in the sky of the Internet rivers and lakes!

Recently he read an article by the English philosopher Francis Bacon, "On the High Position", and he was very helpful.

The text says: "Those who occupy high positions are threefold servants: the emperor or the minister of the state, the slave of honor, and the servant of the cause." Therefore, there is no freedom in person, in action, or in time.

It is strange to have the right to govern others without the power to discipline oneself.

After going through hardships to reach the high position, with hard work, only greater hardship, sometimes despicable, so you must do all the dishonorable things in order to reach the glorious position.

After ascending to a high position, it is difficult to stand firmly, and if you lean to the side slightly, you are in danger of falling to the ground, or at least it is obscure, which is sad to say. ”

Those big names in history were able to ascend to high positions, and they did not have the aura of "rebirth" like Lin Feng, so most of them went through hardships and "did all the dishonorable things". Even if you wait to reach a high position, you must be wary of the danger of falling over. It can be said that there is no moment of ease and freedom.

"The purpose of action is to make meritorious deeds, and the solace of rest is to know that meritorious deeds have been achieved. As well as sharing in God's creation, they should also share in God's rest. The Bible does not say, "God recalls that his hand created all things, and all things are good," and so there is the Sabbath. ”

This is to tell people in high positions not to patronize meritorious deeds, but also to know how to rest properly and enjoy the beauty of life, only in this way can they have a better attitude and have more kindness to the world.

"At the beginning of the exercise of authority, it is advisable to put the best precedent on the throne, and there are countless proverbs from which to follow. Later, we should take ourselves as an example and strictly examine whether it is not as good as it was before. The example of the failure of the predecessor should not be ignored, not to expose the shortcomings of others, but to show the ability of the past, so that it can be used as a lesson for the past.

Therefore, whenever there is a revolution, it is not appropriate to boast about great things, nor to laugh at the ancients, but it is necessary to seek oneself, not to follow the old rules, and to set a precedent. Everything must be traced back to the source to see the way from prosperity to decline. However, when governing and deciding, both ancient and modern times must be consulted: what was best in the past, and what is best in the present. ”

Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, is the most famous emperor in history who is good at learning from the merits and demerits of his predecessors to maintain and consolidate his rule, and his way of governing the country is actually exactly this truth: "The husband can be dressed correctly with copper as a mirror; with the ancient mirror, he can know the rise and fall; and with the person as a mirror, he can see the gains and losses." ”

Lin Feng bought a large number of biographical books, especially the biographies of large foreign companies, to study why those once prominent large companies can prosper and build everlasting businesses, and also to think about why many large companies suddenly collapsed and were abandoned by the times.

He began to understand why Jack Ma kept emphasizing that Alibaba wanted to be a 102-year-old company, and used this lofty goal and vision to inspire himself and his employees.

"Governance must be done in a formal manner so that the public may know and follow it, but it must not be too strict or too strict, and if I have deviated, I must explain it well. The authority of the position cannot be conceded, and the boundaries of jurisdiction do not need to be asked, and the power should be exercised in silence, and it is forbidden to compete for fame among the public.

The rights of the subordinates should also be maintained, and instead of intervening in everything, it is better to control the commander remotely, and it is more honorable. Anyone who offers advice on matters within his authority should be welcomed and encouraged, and those who report the facts should not be expelled as a good deed, but should be treated as a good person. ”

Bacon talked about the way of being an official, but Lin Feng felt that even if it was put on business management, it was very useful.

The management of the superior is actually very skillful, "fair and strict", "clear authority and responsibility", "remote control of the leader", "good at listening to opinions", "impartiality", these are very sophisticated in the means and emotional intelligence of the superior.

After reading this article, Lin Feng felt that he had benefited a lot, and he was constantly thinking about what are the good points and shortcomings of Fengxing in the process of development......

He had not had the experience of sitting in such a prominent position in his previous life, and everything was re-learning and adapting.

So he began to keep a low profile and hibernate for a while.

At the end of 2005, Lin Feng did not attend the award ceremonies and celebrations of the major economic circles and the Internet industry.

Even when he was once again the richest man on the "Hurun Report" and "Forbes China Rich List", he declined an interview with the TV station.

He only showed up at the company's annual meeting at the end of the year to perform a band performance with the members of the strategic decision-making committee, and showed off his guitar once.

Since the beginning of this year, other Internet companies have also begun to learn from the trend and hold a variety of annual meetings.

Of course, in terms of entrenchment, Fengxing and Menglong, who have earned more than 2 billion a year, are still much more domineering than other companies.

The regular eleven luxury cars (this year's Mercedes-Benz E-Class), the $1 million team award, the top three hottest supergirls of the year as guests, etc., are still a few streets away from other companies .......

The super good welfare of the new headquarters of Fengxing Company, the year-end bonus with an average salary of up to 10 months, still makes all employees in the Internet industry regard Fengxing as the first company they are most eager to enter.

Before I knew it, the year 2006 had come.
