Chapter 314 Group Personnel Adjustment

"The IPO is a natural thing, and it will be OK to leave Joe and Jnenifer in charge of this aspect after the group's personnel changes are completed. ”

In the high-rise conference room on the 33rd floor of the Fengxing Building in Beijing, Lin Feng sat on the top and said casually.

For him now, the listing of Fengxing is more of an explanation to investors, the company's team and employees, and it is also a natural measure to extend the company's influence. He didn't really care.

His main attention has begun to be focused on the future-oriented grand strategic directions, such as smartphones (mobile Internet), cloud computing and big data (basic data), and even the appropriate time to start artificial intelligence and other aspects of talents, technology research and development reserves, etc......

Listing and financing is only a means, and after having sufficient funds, it is the goal to lay out the future and let Fengxing start to strategically extend in the core technology and business areas of the global Internet.

And to achieve this, it depends on the team that Fengxing has been building for nearly 5 years!

Now, looking at the full senior management team in the conference room, including more than 20 executives at the level of vice presidents of the company, general managers of business groups, and general managers of branches and subsidiaries, Lin Feng felt a little complacent.

Although it is not like Ma Yun's "18 Arhats", which started from a small time and fought together with such a "die-hard" management.

However, after years of continuous accumulation, as well as his careful collection, maintenance and training, the senior management team of Fengxing is also full of talents, and full of vigor and vitality!

Lin Feng returned to the capital and appeared at the company's headquarters, on the one hand, to attend the establishment ceremony of the new Fengxing Group, and on the other hand, to take this opportunity to carry out a new round of group organizational structure adjustment.

With the change of time, Lin Feng's research and thinking over the years, including thinking about the development of the Internet industry from a global perspective, is no longer as he was when he was just reborn, he still understands the development and business direction of Internet companies at a low level, and is only imitating the development trajectory of companies such as Shanda, Tencent, and Alibaba, which were successful in his previous life.

Instead, they have their own new understanding and thinking.

From a global perspective, at the beginning of the 21st century, there were two most successful Internet companies, Google (search ads) and Apple (smartphones).

The second weaker ones are Amazon (e-commerce), Facebook (social networking), Alibaba (e-commerce), and Tencent (social networking, games).

In fact, in 2017, before Lin Feng's rebirth, the global Internet world had formed a two-level situation between China and the United States.

Except for Apple, which is more special and has built a unique closed-loop mobile Internet ecology from the hardware, all global Internet giants are basically leading companies in the three fields of search, e-commerce, and social networking.

Lin Feng has been thinking about how Fengxing can really reach the top and become one of the best Internet companies in the world.

First of all, the core business must be determined, for the time being, it is social (games are just a more profitable type of business in social networking), if this is determined, if you want to really become a top company in the social field, you need to make more investment and layout, and in the future, at the right time, it is imperative to completely merge Tencent into the popular system.

Secondly, we must start to carry out the global layout of the social field, whether it is Renren, FF, QQ, or QQ, and the business based on social networking must start to deploy overseas, and even start some local acquisitions and investments. The eyes should not only be on the United States, but also in Europe, Southeast Asia, India and other regions are markets to be developed, so that when the mobile Internet spreads around the world, Fengxing also has a first-mover advantage.

Third, in the case of Google and Facebook, online advertising is the core source of revenue, and the popular advertising business must be mentioned in a more important position.

Fourth, although Apple is the only company that has achieved great success with smartphones (Samsung is not an Internet company), the success of China's Xiaomi and Huawei still proves that this path is worthwhile, and the popular smartphone business is also one of the core businesses in the future.

Fifth, Internet finance will become the focus of competition among giants in the era of mobile Internet, and the popular Alipay business needs to invest more resources......

Lin Feng has been living in Hong Kong for most of the year, except for accompanying his wife, he is not idle.

After in-depth thinking, he had a new idea, just in time for the establishment of Fengxing Group, a new round of layout and adjustment!

…………

"I've been in Hong Kong for a while, and I haven't had a good chat with you for a while, so today I just take this opportunity to talk to you about my thoughts during this time, and share with you my views on the future of popularity......

Lin Feng smiled, as if gossiping, sat on the top and spoke.

He said it easily, but the other executives in the conference room were in high spirits, and they unconsciously sat up straight and looked at him with blazing eyes.

Who doesn't know the strategic vision and profound industry thinking of the big boss!(Although Lin Feng's previous achievements were all reborn cheating halos, the results were terrifying)

The new thoughts and ideas he casually said can be said to be the guiding light and direction for all of you here!

"After we established the group, if we only look at business income and profits, we should now be regarded as the largest Internet company in China, which is a ......lot higher than Baidu, Alibaba, and Shanda."

When Lin Feng said this, everyone present couldn't help laughing, and there was pride and pride in their smiles.

Yes, China's Internet rivers and lakes can be said to have changed in recent years, first with a grand listing, then with Baidu's listing, and Alibaba's acquisition of Yahoo has also sprung up, but so what?

We are still the best!

"But, from a global perspective, Fengxing is still a child, and our valuation is now almost $10 billion, and if you look at the big companies in the United States, Google, 130 billion dollars, a quarterly revenue of $2.5 billion, and Yahoo, a market capitalization of 80 billion US dollars, a quarterly revenue of $1.5 billion, we are still far behind......," Lin Feng continued.

Everyone's faces looked a little stunned, boss, isn't it a bit too exaggerated for you to compare Fengxing with these global bigwigs?......

Lin Feng's face turned pale: "So, don't be proud, what is our vision of popularity? Become the most respected Internet company in the world! We have only made a small achievement now! I hope you can calm down, guard against arrogance and rashness, continue to think about products, business, and user experience in a down-to-earth manner, and work together to develop Fengxing into a great Internet company!"

Although he was beaten twice by Lin Feng, the faces of all the executives present showed excited expressions and applauded vigorously.

is worthy of being a big boss, and now he has set his sights on global bigwigs such as Google and Yahoo!

Compared with treating Baidu and Ali as competitors, the boss is too high!

"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's talk about what I've been thinking about during this time. Lin Feng waved his hand with a smile, and with a few simple words, he drew a big pie for the executives present, which successfully aroused their fighting spirit, and for a while, the feeling of strangeness caused by his absence from the company in the past six months was gone.

"R&D first, serving users, global vision, mobile layout. Here are my four main points to summarize. ”

"What is the first research and development? Fengxing is a gene in music and games and other entertainment content of the Internet company, to tell the truth, we are deficient in technology research and development, throughout the world's excellent Internet companies, the importance of technology and research and development is very high, foreign Google, domestic Baidu is a typical example, the future competition, must be in the technical level to accumulate thickness and breadth of competition, we Fengxing must make up for this shortcoming. Lin Feng said with a serious face.

"Of course, the company's technical team headed by Mr. Wang is also very good, including Fei Yang, Liu Hui, Han Qing, Li Jun have grown up, Fengxing can go to today, everyone has paid a lot of effort, here I would like to thank our technology and R&D department on behalf of the company for their hard work over the years...... However, we also need to continue to strengthen the technical team, including R&D talents, the reserve of technical talents, and the R&D establishment of new technologies and new projects for the future, and the company will invest more resources in this regard!"

"Serving users, in fact, this is a sentence that almost all enterprises will mention, and it can also be said to be a nonsense, but the more this kind of nonsense, the more profound the truth contained in it!

Lin Feng said earnestly: "Internet companies, in the final analysis, are to provide services to Internet users, if we do not really establish the concept of serving users in the depths of our hearts, then when developing products, in the process of business operations, when communicating and exchanging with customers, we will lose the sincerity and intentions of users, and this is the real value of Internet companies to succeed!" Therefore, I hope that everyone should pay attention to the user experience of each product and business, and truly serve users. ”

"Speaking of global vision, all of you here are the company's senior managers, my requirements for you will be raised to a higher level, you should see more of the development of the global Internet, know how to absorb and learn from the experience of those excellent companies, learn to make our business and products in other countries overseas, how to get the welcome and love of local users, first learn, and then go out. Next, I will arrange the company's management staff to rotate and study overseas from time to time to help you improve your thinking and vision in this area. Lin Feng said lightly.

He really thinks so, unlike Ali's Ma Yun who once used "overseas learning" to release the military power, Lin Feng really hopes to further improve the outstanding management talents of some companies, and the facts of countless companies have proved that it is better to train and promote from within than to parachute in executives with high education and excellent background from the outside.

Of course, when appropriate, this kind of overseas study and rotation can indeed play a role in adjusting the team and positions......

"Finally, let's talk about the mobile layout, as we all know, in the Silicon Valley Research Institute is developing a smart phone project, I have also said before, mobile Internet will be a trend in the future, we have now delisted Menglong and merged into the company, but also to have more preparations on the mobile side. You can think more about this aspect of the business, this is a long-term strategy, after you have this mental preparation, from the subtle observation, should be rewarding. ”

…………

Lin Feng preached, in fact, to pave the way for the next organizational structure adjustment.

After everyone understands the company's next development strategy, there will not be too many emotional opinions on the adjustment of the structure and the change of their positions.

Next, Ren Jie announced the group's personnel adjustment plan formulated according to Lin Feng's instructions.

Li Dong (Joe) stepped down as the former CEO of Menglong Technology and COO of Fengxing Online, and served as the president of Fengxing Group and the chairman of Alipay.

Hoard Wang stepped down as the former CTO of Fengxing Online and served as senior vice president of Fengxing Group and chairman of Coolwind Technology (the Chinese entity of Aix Technology registered in the Cayman Islands and the operating company of the smartphone project Xphone).

Jennifer Li stepped down as the former CFO of Menglong Technology and the CFO of Fengxing Online, and served as the senior vice president and group CFO of Fengxing Group.

Steven Zhang has been appointed Senior Vice President of Fengxing Group and President of Interactive Entertainment Business Group (content business such as games, literature, and music). There are no major changes in positions.

Zhang Xiaolong (Allen) was appointed Senior Vice President of Fengxing Group, President of the Social Network Business Group (FF, Renren, etc.), and Chairman of the Board of Directors of its subsidiary, Renren Inc. All social-related businesses are assigned to Zhang Xiaolong to manage, and he has high hopes for him.

Liu Shengyi (SY) was appointed Senior Vice President and Group CMO of Fengxing Group, responsible for the Group's advertising, marketing and marketing businesses, and President of the Online Media Business Group. Liu Shengyi was also appointed as a member of the Group's Strategic Decision Committee and entered the top management.

These six people, together with Lin Feng, chairman of the board of directors and CEO of the group, are the new senior management team of Fengxing Group. Among them, Liu Shengyi was newly proposed.

As for the company's vice president and the presidents and vice presidents of the following business groups, the personnel department will issue appointment documents later.

In this reshuffle, the vice presidents, business groups, and general managers of subsidiaries have undergone large-scale job transfers and rotations, and some independent subsidiaries have been separated.

Cool Wind Technology and Alipay are not actually subsidiaries, but independent companies with business connections.

The newly independent subsidiaries include Fengxing Cloud Technology (Wu Hanqing as president), Fengxing Games (Yao Xiaoguang as president), Renren (Zhang Xiaolong as president), Fengxing Music (Zhou Yaping as president), Fengxing Mobile Technology (including 3G portal, UC browser and other businesses, Yu Yongfu as president) and so on.

The atomic company is popular in Shanghai, and Xu Bo is the president. Yao Xiaoguang and Xu Bo made a change of guard.

Fengxing Literature (starting point Chinese) is still the original team responsible (Wu Wenhui).

After this organizational restructuring based on personnel appointments and adjustments, Fengxing Group has carried out the divestment of the smartphone business and the Internet finance business.

It has formed four pillar businesses based on interactive entertainment (games, music, literature, etc.), social networking (FF, Renren), mobile business, and advertising business, with more focused business and more reasonable staffing. [.]
