Hongdou Group is the first township enterprise group in Jiangsu Province. In the course of 20 years of entrepreneurship, it has grown at a rate of doubling every year. By 1996, the sales revenue was 2 billion yuan, the profits and taxes were 160 million yuan, and the export earned 20 million US dollars. By 20 years, the total sales revenue and profits and taxes will reach 10 billion yuan and 1 billion yuan respectively. What can be done to ensure the success of this ambitious goal? Zhou Yaoting, chairman of Hongdou Group, believes that today's township enterprises are facing the problem of breaking through their own "revolution and their own lives". If it is said that in the early stage of the development of township enterprises, it was mainly the difficulties of capital, raw materials, and other problems, then today's township enterprises have reached a new turning point, that is, they must develop themselves with a new consciousness. It is mainly the implementation of famous brand strategy, market strategy, legal strategy, capital management strategy, etc., and the first strategy is the talent strategy, that is, to break the concept of "one side of the water and soil to raise one person, one side of the water and soil to use one person", and form a pattern of "one side of the water and soil with eight people".

Hongdou Group believes that the scale and energy of the township enterprise at the beginning determine its limited employment principle, whether it is close to the hometown people, and the reality that the old folks who get along day and night is also a choice. But it should be seen that the land grows with the incomprehensible kinship of the peasant brothers, and at the same time it limits their horizons. If you want to truly get out of the limitations of land, talent is the first and most valuable. In order to discover and activate talents on a wider scale, it is necessary to break the concept of "one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, and one side of the water and soil to use one side of the people".

Breaking through the regional limitations of employing people is equivalent to breaking through the rope of clan and blood relations, and the enterprise can break through the weakening and degradation of intelligence and ability brought about by the "breeding" of close relatives, and it is possible to liberate the enterprise from the shadow of feudal inheritance and become a real modern enterprise.

Under the guidance of this talent strategic thinking, Hongdou Group organized a talent development team, went to all parts of the country to link up with the talent exchange center, from the first college student who was recommended to Hongdou Group to report to today's cadre team, half of the talents are from 19 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.

In order to become a large-scale, modern, international and integrated enterprise group, only the use of domestic talents can no longer meet the needs, and Hongdou Group also looks overseas. They successively hired Mr. Xiao Wenfeng, a Taiwanese shirt expert, and Mr. Kato, a Japanese suit technician, to come to the factory as the person in charge of technical guidance, and recruited 45-year-old Chinese Canadian Chen Zhong from overseas as the general manager with an annual salary of one million.

Hongdou Group has established its own talent pool. In 1993, they linked up with Wuxi University of Light Industry, opened a red bean junior college class, selected and sent outstanding workers to enter the university for further study, and with the consent of the State Education Commission, opened a red bean secondary college to cultivate their own talent reserve army. So far, Hongdou has more than 2,000 college graduates and graduate students from all over the world and various technical talents, in order to introduce international advanced technology and management; During the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, about 50 international technical experts and management experts were introduced. By the end of the 20th century, more than 60% of the middle and upper leaders in Hongdou Group are "eight-party talents" with high education and rich experience, and provide a stage for each talent to give full play to their talents, laying a solid talent foundation for the rapid rise of the enterprise.

In real life, the strategy of "stealing beams and changing pillars" can be used both against opponents and for oneself. To use it for the opponent is to steal his beam and exchange his pillar for his pillar in order to get rid of the opponent, so that the opponent has nothing to say and is willing to admit defeat; For itself, you can make yourself skillfully create the disadvantages of competitors and take advantage of the situation to win.
