Chapter 202: Bureau (7)

All so-called circles must only be attended by people of the same kind. In this circle, information sharing, resource sharing, and the improvement of individual power are completed with the power of the group. This circle has a certain degree of mutual compatibility, but at the same time it is quite exclusive, for example, "outsiders" are often labelled as "no common language" and are excluded. The circle of Wang Zhongjun, the big name behind the big names, is full of big names, and the circle of Li Ka-shing, the richest of the rich, is full of rich people. The "circle" represents your social status and represents the size of your ability. There will be a different "label" attached to each person's body, and to a large extent, behind this label is a "circle".

However, most Chinese people are still limited to the traditional relationship model, and prefer to operate a closed relationship network, that is, only pay attention to the relationship network that is very close to their work and life, and are not good at developing. This makes the relationship management not open, and the progress of people is also limited. Therefore, many people are small people all their lives and can't do anything big, just because their circle is small and the energy of the circle is small.

In many cases, a close relationship does play an important role in making a difference. This relationship represents a blend of trust and culture. But for the most part, recent relationships tend to have little effect on a person's future. Only by establishing an open network and constantly updating one's network can one continue to break through. Xiao Zhixing, associate professor of management at CEIBS, said: "The social structure of China is a circle structure, but in the process of continuous progress, people will constantly update and expand their networks. In addition, some sociologists have done special surveys. The poor have much the same way of thinking, but the rich have different ways of thinking. It is because the poor like to be confined to their own small circle, while the rich are happy to associate with all kinds of people. Be willing to enter various types of circles, turn strangers into mature people, and turn strange circles into your own circles.

Deng Tuo, the founder of a club in Beijing, came up with the idea in 2005 after meeting some of the biggest names in the IT world at an open party. But his club's first meeting was on a rainy summer night, and he was a little anxious about whether the attendees would cancel the meeting because of the rainstorm.

To Deng Tuo's surprise, none of the club members defaulted. And all arrived early. Deng Tuo was very happy, and at the same time, he was very emotional: the progressive people's thirst for knowledge is so high, and the desire for communication is so strong, he did not expect it.

Circles have become an integral part of Chinese culture, and the more influential the circle, the stronger the desire for people to enter it. But expanding the circle is not an easy task, because entering the circle requires a "ticket", that is, each circle has its own cultural characteristics, and people who do not conform to this cultural characteristics even reluctantly enter this circle. It's also easy to be squeezed out. So how do you get into the circles of the higher classes?

Back then, when Ma Yun was a professional lecturer at the School of Electronic Industry, he was a person who liked to make friends.

In order to supplement his family, Ma Yun went to night school to work part-time. Many of the people who came to the lecture were foreign trade business owners. Jack Ma is a cool person and has a lot of fun with them. At that stage, there were many bosses who became friends with Jack Ma.

1995 year. Jack Ma founded Huaguo Yellow Pages, China's first Internet company, at a time when the Internet was still unfamiliar to Chinese people. People don't believe Jack Ma's Internet ideas at all, and he is often regarded as a liar. Therefore, Jack Ma's entrepreneurial path is very difficult.

In order to grow the company's business, Jack Ma began to call his friends and explain to them the website he wanted to make, promising that it would be free at first. Although these friends are still skeptical of the website, in order to give Ma Yun face, they will also do a few. A friend, because he admired Ma Yun very much, also funded him 6,000 yuan, which is not much, but it is the first income of Huaguo Yellow Pages.

In 1999, Jack Ma officially resigned from public office and founded Alibaba, embarking on the road of exploring e-commerce applications. The attempt of the Ali model not only made Ma Yun successful, but also enabled Ma Yun to gain an elite team. Alibaba is a group of companies. Whether it is Taobao, Alipay, Alimama or Ali software, it is a team that operates, and behind Ma Yun, the chief designer, there are countless excellent designers and technicians. Jack Ma has created a miracle that Chinese entrepreneurs have never given up and are constantly flowing with top talents from all walks of life.

Tsai Chongxin, who is now the founder of Alibaba, originally came to Alibaba to discuss investment, but as a result, he was moved by Jack Ma's charm and way of thinking, and would rather leave his annual salary of $750,000 and join Alibaba, receiving only a salary of 500 yuan. Tsai Chongxin brings more than just excitement. Love and vision, but also brought the international investment bank Goldman Sachs connections.

Wu Jiong, who joined Alibaba in May 2000, has presided over the development of Yahoo's search engine and e-commerce technology. He was the chief designer of the highly effective Yahoo search engine and its many application technologies, and as the sole inventor, he was granted a patent in the United States in 1999 for the core technology of the search engine. But he resolutely gave up his position at Yahoo and defected to Alibaba, and Wu Jiong's decision influenced a large number of Silicon Valley Chinese elites to join Alibaba's R&D center in the United States.

In 2001, Guan Mingsheng, who had worked in GE (General Electric Company) for 16 years, joined Alibaba as COO (Chief Operating Officer). In 2003, the former HR director of Microsoft (Huaguo) and the former CFO of Lenovo joined Alibaba. Alibaba's vice president in charge of marketing is the president of marketing at American Express, an American; Sanjay, Alibaba's vice president of strategy, is Indian......

These outstanding talents are finally fixed in Alibaba, making Jack Ma, a legendary hero entrepreneur, more charismatic.

As a leader, Ma Yun shows these top talents a continuous stimulation of visible thinking, an image of lightness, quick thinking, modesty and tolerance, which is the network that Ma Yun has, and it is also a very important factor for him to be able to hold young talents.

In fact, everyone has different qualifications and abilities, but they all have the ability to make friends, and they all have the ability to achieve great things. Ma Yun's "everyone can succeed" is also in its connotation.

There was once a businessman, the education is not high, the ability is not strong, the business across the industry of more than 10 kinds of products, but are smooth, someone asked him the way to success, he said: "My friend is like a dense line, all over the world without scruples." Although this sentence has a ridiculous meaning, it is the last word of success. Any kind of knowledge, any project will be understood, therefore, successful people never ask themselves to do "know-it-all", they do the hard work, is "ten thousand people", their highest skill is the ability to weave and manipulate people, they make friends, Bona Yayan, so the people's hearts, so the road is smooth, so the success of fame.

There are thousands of successful people and thousands of reasons to succeed, but no one can escape the underlying social rules of networking. Whether it is a groundbreaking political leader or a hero on the wealth list, the network is one of the foundations of their success, and it is also one of the necessary conditions. It can be said that without people's pursuit, there is no brilliance; Without people's fulfillment, it is difficult to achieve success. Mencius said: "The time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people." "It doesn't matter who you are, no matter what your talent is, as long as someone is willing to help you, then you can make a difference. Believe it or not, Liu Bang ascended to the throne of God as a ruffian, and Zhang Fei tempered himself into a general with a foolish spirit, all because he took the lead in "people".

Don't say that the speed of a blockbuster is fast, as long as someone helps you, it is not impossible to succeed in the second kill. You have to always remember: it's easy to go up 9,000 miles, as long as you find a good wind to rely on. With connections, you can move up the ladder without stopping, expand your career with ease, and succeed without realizing it.

Anyone who has achieved something in their career is a person who is extremely confident and good at instilling their beliefs in others. The more believers there are, the better the chances of success. It can be said that all careers are the cause of interpersonal relationships. Without the help of connections, the support of customers, and the efforts of employees, it is difficult for any career to develop. If you manage your network well, you will be able to expand your career faster and better.

To develop a network for your career, you can't completely divide it according to your interests, hobbies and needs. If you want to develop in something, you need to join the circle of influence in that area. Because after all, career is far from interest, and if you only rely on temporary interest, it is difficult for your career to improve. This requires you to determine your career direction in the process of managing the circle. After all, people's energy is limited, and you can't use all your experiences to participate in various circle activities, so you have to be selective.

Nowadays, the Internet provides us with a kind of convenience, and various portals have blogospheres, which have completed a kind of cultural integration and exchange to a certain extent, and also made the dissemination and circulation of information more extensive. In particular, the emergence of microblogging has provided a rapid way for the circulation of cultural information. The network provides us with a variety of career directions, as well as a variety of opportunities.

But there is never a word for opportunity. Just as Professor Yu Dan said: Chance is a monster, from the front of it is disheveled, the face is blurred, when it passes by you, you may suddenly find its true face, but when you reach out to grab it, you find that behind it is a bare back of the head, there is no way to start. Although the Internet has a variety of resources, there are not many that can really be used for yourself. (To be continued......)
