Chapter 500 498. Can I handle it?
If the subordinate branches only read the "Lenovo Enterprise News" and not the "Lenovo Daily", what they feel is only the vivid and colorful enterprise department and the flesh-and-blood Sun Hongbin. It will definitely be detrimental to the idea of establishing a big ship structure for the branches far away from the head office. It cannot be allowed. "
I haven't decided yet what kind of person Sun is, so I plan to keep observing.
I spoke publicly about Sun Hongbin, saying that he has very strong organizational skills and can give full play to the enthusiasm of his subordinates.
He also defended the young people in the corporate department, saying that they [did not receive strong support from other departments in the company], but the corporate department was able to overcome difficulties and solve them on its own, rather than just waiting.
The atmosphere in their department gives people a sense of vitality and upliftment, and a feeling of "screaming" work, which I have seen with my own eyes. "
Immediately afterwards, Li Qin came out to help me.
"Young people have the advantage of being young," Li Qin said. "They can travel across the country. They can live in other places. Can old comrades live outside for a few months to promote their products?"
These words were discussed in advance between the two of us, so Li Qin spoke very sharply, and pointed directly at Jia Xufu, saying that he had "interfered with, or even destroyed in some places, our strategic plan to establish branches across the country." ".
At that time, I hoped that everyone in the company would learn from this incident so that we could truly establish a centralized and unified "Lenovo culture" in which everyone takes their own responsibilities.
I later used a simple word to express his idea, which is "big ship structure". "
The Big Ship Structure is one of Liu Yisheng's most famous thoughts. In short, the “Big Ship Structure” means that the company is like a big ship, moving towards the goals set by the president's office. This is the unifying principle of the “Big Ship Structure”; every department and everyone has The purpose of the position is clear, which is the positioning principle of the "big ship structure"; the division of labor and cooperation between various departments are the cooperation principle of the "big ship structure". What we want to emphasize today is the principle of unity and cooperation.
Yanagawa told Cao Yang the story at that time:
Later, in order to unify the company, Yanagawa removed some of Jia Xufu's powers.
This is how the March meeting ended.
But no one expected that things had just begun. Two weeks after Jia Xufu was removed from some powers, Sun Hongbin suffered another disaster. Many years later, a man named Wang Yukun wrote an article and talked about this matter, implying that Yanagawa's ambition was to seek power, to play hard to get, and to use a "delay tactic" to lure the naive Sun Hongbin into taking the bait, and he won a great victory. We carefully checked the files of that day and found that Wang's description was not true. At the meeting on March 19, Liu once pointed out Sun's "self-centeredness" and "gang behavior" in front of everyone, and said that he could become both a "culpable talent" and a "company's leader." Dangerous person".
Sun himself was there to listen. Therefore, the nature of this matter is completely different from that of a long-planned plan as some people have described, and there is no so-called "winner".
Both sides in the conflict suffered losses: Sun was sentenced to prison for 5 years; Liu lost the young man he had placed unlimited hope in and was forced to postpone the company's "succession plan" for several years.
Sun Hongbin did not understand the boss's warning, but felt proud because he had eliminated Jia Xufu's obstacle. The young people in the enterprise department, as well as the general managers of the 13 branches, are now gathering more closely around him, supporting him in every possible way, as if they have found a wise leader.
The energy of young people quickly surged out of the corporate department and circulated throughout the company, including the capable officers around Yanagawa Shih. One day, five young people came to "Dayuan" and cursed while eating. They all said that the veterans of the Computing Institute occupied all important positions in the company. Young people always wanted to do something, but they were always criticized. If this continues, where will the company's long-term plan come from? These people are really anxious about the future of the company, but they just don't understand the hardships that the veterans went through when they started this company. They just feel that all of them are like a thing of the past, and Yanagawa is lonely and lacks talented people around him.
Everyone shouted, "It's all about our generation", and they all looked like "I've got a big responsibility from heaven, who else would it be?"
Yanagawa Shichi continued to receive reports from his subordinates, and he was well aware of all these trends. Seniors were also writing to him, saying how Sun was running amok in the company, as if he was in no one's land. What's even more worrying is that Sun has been pushing further, intruding into the personnel power that originally belonged to the company's president's office in a "cannibalistic way", appointing subordinate managers on his own initiative, first cutting them off first and then reporting them, then cutting them off without reporting them, and privately transferring three people as his managers. confidant.
These people also imitated Yanagawa Shi's cadre training plan and held meetings to train new recruits. The main purpose was to express their loyalty to Sun Hongbin himself.
Everyone said that Sun was a "leader-type figure" who was not only smart but also wise. Others had to think hard about his words before they could realize the true meaning.
When talking about what he is proud of, he can't help but rank Sun together with Wan Runnan and Yanagawa Zhi. The latter two are both famous figures in Zhongguancun. Now after some analysis by Sun's subordinates, they concluded: "Sun is definitely first, Wan is second, and Liu is third." Because "Sun uses capable people to give everyone a stage to achieve success. But Yanagawa Shi is surrounded by mediocrity. People, hold on to power and never let go."
At the end of these words, a rule was formed: employees in the enterprise department are responsible to Sun Yiren. For example, all new employees must answer questions such as "What is the relationship between their direct boss and the company's big boss?"
"Suppose you produce 200 parts a day, and your direct boss reports to the big boss that you can produce 300 parts a day. How do you answer when asked?"
The correct answer is: "It should be said in unison that it is 300." Another example is that everyone understood the company's "big ship structure" together, and finally realized that Lenovo is a big ship and the corporate department is a small boat. The big ship of Lenovo sank, and the small ship of the Enterprise Department floated up and became a big ship.
Sun, being an open-minded man, did not hide all these actions and even invited Li Qin to their meetings.
When Yanagawa Shi was busy with Hong Kong affairs, Li Qin was the host of BJ Lenovo. Later, many people in the company believed that Sun Neng was so arrogant because of Li's connivance. Sun himself also regarded him as his "backer" intentionally or unintentionally. . In fact, these views are only one side, not all. From a purely business standpoint, Li Qin indeed needed young people to capture the national market, so he clearly supported Sun Hongbin in the disagreement between Sun and Jia, but he could not allow Sun to act recklessly.
Yanagawa decided that Sun Hongbin was going further and further down another path, and leaving it alone would lead to endless troubles. He rushed back to BJ from Hong Kong again to "face off" with Li Qin
This is a word commonly used by company employees, and it is still popular within Lenovo today, which means to unify the steps.
Although his partner has a strong management style, he is a person who knows current affairs and can always understand the interests of the overall situation at critical moments, so he does not hesitate to express his approval of his judgment. So the two decided to transfer Sun out of the enterprise department and go to the business department to take over the position vacated by Lao Jia. Yanagawa ordered Sun to "enter with a low profile" and "not allowed to establish new units or bring people in." Yoo is still waiting for the young man he once admired to step back from the brink and develop his talents. But from Sun's perspective, this is undoubtedly a major blow. He will be far away from the circle of young people and will always be surrounded and supervised by elders, while the young people in the Enterprise Department will also be leaderless. When Yanagawa announced the decision on April 4, conflict immediately broke out.
The incident occurred at a corporate department meeting held in Shaoyuan of BJ University, so it was called the "Shaoyuan Incident" in the history of the company. Yanagawa later stated many times that this was the "watershed" of the entire incident, and from then on "a chain of struggles began." This shows that from this day on, he decided that Sun and his "clique" were beyond redemption.
According to the minutes of the meeting at the time, Sun Hongbin said that his subordinates could not understand the company's decision. Then an employee named Bai Quan spoke. Bai is the editor of the criticized "Lenovo Enterprise News" and now asks: "What's wrong with the Enterprise News?" Xue Linna then spoke, which actually added fuel to the fire: "The company's "Lenovo News" is like this , why can't we get a better report?”
Yanagawa Shi has been listening. But when Sun Hongbin intervened and said, "Lenovo is simply a dirty tabloid," he felt that he could no longer suppress his inner anger. He severely rebuked the arrogance of young people, thinking that he could turn the tide with his own prestige, but unexpectedly his audience "was in a state of false sleep. People who are falsely asleep cannot be woken up no matter how you wake them up. I knew then that I was right." They are no longer a matter of reason.”
Yanagawa Shi later reported the situation to all the company's employees: "They attacked us one after another, sentence after sentence, as if they had to challenge us." Another of Yanagawa Shi's followers, Ying Qi, Many years later, I can still remember: "They called it 'Pan Pan Dao' at that time, and it felt a bit like 'Huashan Swordsmanship'. According to the popular saying nowadays, it is Pan Pan Dao."
"You said we have gang elements, can you tell us more specifically?"
"We are directly under the leadership of Sun Hongbin. If Sun Hongbin scolds us, what does it have to do with the president?"
"How on earth does the Enterprise operate a small boat?"
"What is a large ship structure?"
The meeting ended unhappily.
"Your performance shows that you only know about the Enterprise Department and don't know about Lenovo Group! I hope you don't pretend to be asleep. Even if you pretend to be asleep, I can still wake you up." Yanagawa said and walked away. , before leaving, he left another sentence, "You need to know who the boss of Lenovo is."
The method of "waking up those who pretend to be asleep" is quite severe, a bit similar to declaring a "state of emergency": expel Bai and Xue, the two most violent actors in the "Shaoyuan Incident"; seal the account of the branch; ask the public security organ to send someone to come To protect the safety of the company; Yanagawa Zhi appointed himself as the manager of the enterprise department, and Li Qin served as the manager of the business department. Sun immediately left his original position and went to the business department to work as an assistant to Li Qin.
Later, Yanagawa Zhi once again gathered the personnel of the Enterprise Department to announce the new decision. The atmosphere in the venue was solemn, everyone was sitting upright, and the two people who had been announced to be expelled were still among them. When Liu walked into the room, the group of people all crossed their arms in front of their chests and faced him in a posture. Then Sun Hongbin came in, and everyone immediately lowered their hands. The room was filled with cigarette smoke, and Liu couldn't help but frown. Sun yelled "Put out the cigarette" and everyone put out the cigarette together. Sun shouted "stand up" again, and everyone stood up together. The secretary brought by Liu Yingqi consciously sat next to Liu, and Sun shouted again: "This is not your seat." Liu believed that Sun was leading the entire enterprise department to demonstrate against him. He said to the corresponding flag: "You just sit here." Then he announced that all employees of the Enterprise Department "must obey all my decisions" and warned everyone "not to form gangs or intimidate anyone". If there is any violation, no matter whether it is Anyone will be severely punished, up to and including expulsion.
Sun Hongbin had a premonition that the situation was about to end, and he didn't know what to do for a while. He called his subordinates to Changchun Garden to discuss countermeasures that night. He didn't expect that this would make a big mistake.
When Yanagawa told this story, he remembered it vividly, and before he knew it, he talked about it for more than an hour.
Cao Yang was also listening silently, not expecting that so many things had happened in Lenovo back then.
When Yanagawa Shi said this, there were some tears in his eyes, "The young people were very angry and spoke arrogantly. Some people wanted Sun Hongbin to resist firmly, some people wanted him to retreat in spite of the difficulties, and some people suggested to "roll the money" in anger. Leave.
They didn't expect that there were people loyal to me around them.
I quickly received a report that "the final conclusion of the meeting that night was called 'clear withdrawal and hidden transfer'", which meant that we accepted the company's decision on the surface but secretly transferred the branch's money to other places.
This became the direct reason that later led to Sun being imprisoned.
Sun Hongbin later only admitted that someone said something about "paying money" in anger, but there was no "conclusion", especially no such action.
But all signs at that time did indicate that the matter was urgent.
An accountant reported that night that someone in the Enterprise Department planned to withdraw money from other places.
The next day was Sunday, and five of Sun's subordinates came to report that someone was planning to "abscond with the money" and reminded the company to take precautions.
I have no hard facts proving these revelations to be true.
However, judging from my own experience over the years, it is a common phenomenon throughout our country that personnel disputes continue to intensify and even develop into life-and-death conflicts.
From the company's standpoint, I must also take precautions, because the branch led by Sun holds at least 17 million yuan in funds. If the "running away with the money" thing really happens, it will definitely put the company in a huge financial crisis. In crisis and credibility crisis. "
Speaking of this, Yanagawa's face showed a look of sadness and anger.
One can imagine how tragic this period of history was.
Although Cao Yang was an outsider, it sounded thrilling.
Not to mention the parties involved.
He himself is also thinking, if this thing happens to him, how should I deal with it?
Can I handle it?
