Chapter 24 Zhang Wuji's zero-distance management model

Zhang Wuji is the second male protagonist who is close to the ideal in Jin Yong's works.He still has certain achievements in business management, such as successfully localizing Mingjiao, and has transformed from a marginal foreign company into a leading group in the Central Plains martial arts.Mingjiao has been carried forward again in the hands of Zhang Wuji, commanding the martial arts, Zhang Wuji has made great contributions, but carefully studying Zhang Wuji's actions in Mingjiao, Zhang Wuji is taking advantage of his innate advantages of both black and white, the returnees' technological leadership and the orthodox Central Plains morality Advantages, after growing Mingjiao into a big company in one go, the mistakes he made in management are enough to write a book to prove that he is really not a good leader.

After Zhang Wuji reluctantly became the leader of the Mingjiao, he knew that he had no knowledge and knowledge, and it might not be appropriate to deal with major issues, so he discussed everything with Yang Xiao and his grandfather Yin Tianzheng.In fact, this situation lasted until the end of a novel. Zhang Wuji's management ability still did not improve much. Yang Xiao said what he did, and he fell in love with Zhao Min. Naturally, it was what his wife said and what he did. When it's time to come out and beat people, he shows a few magical skills, but he doesn't answer any questions that require intelligence.This brain is not as good as others, so it's no wonder he is able to appoint capable people and manage the educational affairs in an orderly manner, which is also Zhang Wuji's personal credit.But in general, Zhang Wuji manages Mingjiao not by ability, but by morality, relying on his personal charisma to gather the believers around him.This approach is suitable for small owners of private enterprises, but it is a bit of a joke to manage a large organization like Mingjiao with a large number of followers and whose ambition is to conquer the world.

Zhang Wuji often highlights his generosity and benevolence, but repaying grievances with kindness is too much, and it is difficult to convince the public that there is no distinction between rewards and punishments.The so-called repaying grievances with virtue, why report straight?In the battle of Guangmingding that day, the famous decent sect killed countless Mingjiao believers. Zhang Wuji rushed out of the tunnel with the survivors, and he personally directed the Mingjiao people to kill countless decent people who came to attack like melons and vegetables, causing countless casualties. , stopped, and he said to his subordinates, "Our sect and the major sects in the Central Plains have had a deep grudge, and the disciples, relatives and friends of both sects have killed each other. From now on, let's forget the past, clear up the past, and no longer fight with other sects." Seeking revenge." Zhang Wuji has a connection with both the good and the evil factions, and they are all relatives, so it is easy to say, but when everyone heard this, they were very angry, and no one answered for a long time.

He didn't avenge the famous decent sect, nor did he avenge the victims of the Mingjiao. It's fine if everyone exposed the festival and didn't owe each other. , After doing so many things, because he fell in love with Zhao Min, he let the past go.The chief culprit who killed his parents, Zhao Min's group of masters who defected to Mongolia, later fell into Zhang Wuji's hands, and he also repaid all his grievances with virtue, so forget it.Zhou Zhiruo almost killed his cousin, his adoptive father, and his sweetheart. When he finally saw Zhou Zhiruo was terrified, his heart immediately softened. Of course, he never had the intention of killing Zhou Zhiruo.Even if Guo Jing, the representative of the older generation with great benevolence and righteousness, would be extremely jealous when he saw Duan Zhengde who killed his father, the white knife would go in and the red knife would come out, ending the kid's life.What is Zhang Wuji's heart made of? Cotton is not so soft.

Zhang Wuji does not take revenge for others, and in the end he is so soft-hearted that he hurts his own life, he will let them go lightly without punishment.Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Mingjiao was getting bigger and bigger, and Zhang Wuji, as the leader of the sect, felt unwilling to let Zhang Wuji sit in the world after they marched and fought.So Zhu Yuanzhang disregarded the friendship with Zhang Wuji when he was young, and gave drugs. Knowing that Zhang Wuji woke up, he talked with Xu Da and Chang Yuchun outside the tent, and Zhang Wuji thought that Xu Da and Chang Yuchun had no loyalty. It harmed him, so Zhang Wuji became discouraged and left by himself.Zhang Wuji knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had a double heart, and misunderstood that Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were villains. He was sorry for himself, but he swallowed his breath, which is a miracle.He has already passed on Wu Mu's suicide note to Xu Da, now that he sees Xu Da being so ungrateful, he should immediately get violent and go out to take that guy's life, otherwise don't say that it is not in line with him to think of the people in everything and benevolent and righteous He is so sorry for this Wu Mu suicide note that has finally been handed down to him after a long period of suffering.

As a result of Zhang Wuji's departure, Mingjiao fell into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he ordered the Mingjiao to be strictly prohibited and killed all the brothers who had made great contributions in the teaching.But Zhu Yuanzhang himself was mean and ungrateful, suspicious and fickle. After he became the throne, he killed many heroes, and few of his descendants were decent. He finally achieved the Ming Dynasty, the most stupid and chaotic dynasty in Chinese history. China lasted 270 years. The ten-year history of suffering in the Ming Dynasty, speaking of which, Zhang Wuji must be blamed for this.It can be seen that a leader who only knows how to bestow favors but does not know how to take revenge will cause even greater harm.

Zhu Yuanzhang's treacherous tricks succeeded easily, all because of his understanding of Zhang Wuji's weakness in character. Here is the second big loophole in Zhang Wuji's management of Mingjiao, that is, the leader is not like a leader. In addition to public relationships, personal relationships are even more intricate, which is really a big taboo in management. The people Zhang Wuji relied on were his grandfather, his uncle, and his adoptive father.Yang Xiao's daughter and his brother and sister love each other, Yang Buhui became his aunt after marrying Yin Liting, Chang Yuchun and Xu Da are his brothers, and his idea of ​​doing things is all from his wife Zhao Min.The advantage of having a lot of personal contacts is that Mingjiao has become a big family, which is fun and harmonious. The disadvantage is that there is no distance between the top leaders and the middle management, no sense of mystery, and no authority.

A leader can't be like Zhang Wuji, whose personality is so shallow that people can see through it at a glance, and anyone can plot against him.Many people blame their leader for being fickle, indecisive at one moment, persevering and indomitable at another, making it hard to figure out what he is thinking.In fact, this is the correct image of leadership. In The Prince, Italian political scientist Machiavelli exposed the truth of politics in a shocking way, and put forward many sharp opinions for the rulers.He mentioned more than once that the monarch should use various means, even including superficial posturing and tricks, to gain the respect, love and potential fear of others.The monarch just wants to hide behind this man-made false appearance, deliberately keep a distance from his courtiers, and manage with ease within this distance, protect himself and control his courtiers.

It is a wise saying in politics, we are a little vulgar on the issue of Zhang Wuji, that is to say, Zhang Wuji, the leader, is too unassuming.On the issue of using power, he allowed his subordinates to enjoy the power to dominate power too much, and weakened his own authority. In fact, the popularity of the word "Zero Distance" in China is all due to the book of the same name written by female football reporter Li Xiang about Milu.Of course, with the resignation of Milu, this word has gradually disappeared in the torrent of history.After leading the Chinese football team to the World Cup finals for the first time, Milu's prestige was extremely high, but his "zero distance" management method hurt himself.Because, at that time, due to the "zero distance" with the female reporter, Milu's choice of players and even deployment of troops, everyone could know in advance from the female reporter's writing, and even why Milu liked that player was weird. Newspaper headlines.Everyone also knows that Milu only "falls asleep" after "the white belly appeared in the East", and you can guess which companies and products Milu will endorse for.Soon, Milu, whose hole cards were all in the newspapers, was attacked by the football media. Naturally, the players who were not reused did not speak well of him. Even the Chinese Football Association began to order to restrict Milu's commercial activities. However, he has been regarded by the public. The greedy and selfish head coach has lost his authority, coupled with the consistent failure of the Chinese football team, the myth of Milu has come to an end.

Shi Yuzhu is roughly considered as one of the most bizarre ups and downs among modern entrepreneurs.His giant group has made a big splash, and they have created another brain gold. The advertisements are about airplanes and cannons. Now people in the industry think it is a joke when they mention it.It is said that he also has a vulgar habit of summoning all his subordinates at every turn, talking about tactics one day and strategy the next. His subordinates listen to it every day, and they get tired of hearing it, and no one takes it seriously.After the meeting, these tactical strategies were still told as a joke.Shi Yuzhu lost a big bet and was silent for a long time. Finally, he stopped seeing his ubiquitous figure in the media and hardselled his corporate policy everywhere.

Just when everyone thought that the giant Shi Yuzhu had no chance to stand up, he suddenly paid off the huge sum he owed during the giant period.It wasn't until this time that everyone suddenly realized that Melatonin, which was sung and danced on TV, was Shi Yuzhu's turnaround.It's just that what he's making a big deal of this time is just selling his products. It is said that he himself stays with some old men in the Chinese business world every day, such as Duan Yongji, and he no longer comes out every day to perform for everyone on TV for free. About 3,000 years ago, there was a country called Medea in the west of today’s Central Asia. There was a tribe there. The leader of the tribe was named Deioces. Whether it is a dispute over a water well, or two trees are cut down by mistake, he will be asked to come forward for arbitration to settle the problem.The other elders in the village, as they got older, became stupid and corrupted by accepting bribes. Only Diosi became more just as he got older, and became the god of justice of the tribe. One day, Diosi got tired and announced his retirement. Without Diosi, the tribe immediately lost its backbone and fell apart. There were endless internal strife and endless fighting, and no one could settle it.Finally, everyone decided to invite Diorsi out of the mountain.Diorsi declined repeatedly, but he reluctantly agreed under the pleadings of the villagers.When the story develops to this point, this Diorsi is similar to the life path of our protagonist Zhang Wuji, but then Diorsi did something that Zhang Wuji would never have imagined.He put forward a condition that a deep palace must be built, and a group of bodyguards should be hired to let him live in it and never show his face.If there is a need to find him, it must be sent by a messenger.Even if the people around him were his servants, they could only see his face once a week. Because of the mystery, Diosi's authority became more and more inviolable. He later became the king of Medea, expanded the territory for Medea, and laid the foundation for a greater empire later. The name of that country was Persia. But there are too few people who can learn the art of playing the missing power from Diorsi now.Entrepreneurs today are like literary youths in the 1980s. They can’t wait to see their names turned into typefaces and printed on newspapers exuding the fragrance of ink. The difference is that he may need to pay for a soft article. s price.Today’s entrepreneurs, before doing something, like to hide it half-heartedly, and are ashamed to talk to the media, in order to appear on the headline of the newspaper "A certain event that was publicized in advance", and the article is full of speculation Misreading, they are happy in their hearts, and they will never take the initiative to correct it.Today's entrepreneurs, those who have a bottom line, are also very willing to appear on the national TV dialogue program, and compete with young entrepreneurs who are 20 years younger than themselves. The college students say affectionately to the future hope of the motherland, you are all eight or nine The sun at one o'clock.Those who have no bottom line are keen to participate in star-studded charity dinners and entertainment programs, and spend a lot of money to attract envious looks from the actresses around them. No one knows how he made his fortune and what his company does, but everyone remembers that he is a rich man who likes to scold others, of course those who scold him even threaten to kill him to avenge his idol, no eight thousand There are also ten thousand. De Gaulle once said, "There can be no prestige without mystery, because if you are too familiar with a person, you will feel contempt." In order to maintain the supreme authority, the ancient emperor had to maintain the supreme mystery.Not only ordinary people would never be able to see the emperor's face from TV and newspapers, even the eunuchs who served him could only see the emperor walking through the soles of their shoes.It is said that the imperial crown worn by the emperor in the past was strung with beads. There is a saying that it is to block the emperor's dignity and prevent the ministers who work for the emperor day and night from seeing it.What's more interesting is that when people with lofty ideals set up a banner to rebel, they invariably made up some bizarre life experiences for themselves. Either they were born as dragons, or gods reincarnated to save the hard-working people from suffering. , that is, they are all gods, not men. Consulting is too developed in modern society, and even if we hide behind the beaded curtains to create a sense of mystery for ourselves like the previous emperors, we cannot force entrepreneurs to resist the temptation to become famous and admired by thousands of people, and must lock themselves in In the deep palace.For us, we should even encourage them to talk freely with reporters on newspapers and TV about their experience in managing enterprises, their magic weapon for defeating the enemy, and provide them with case studies of the big and small battles they have experienced.However, it is frightening that some young entrepreneurs in emerging industries, when they first made a fortune, would tell everyone about their origins, lest people in the world would not know that he had drank foreign ink, listened to the teachings of masters, and brought the latest and most advanced international knowledge. technology back home.Now that I have a firm foothold, it is even more beautiful.As for seeing a certain young talent's dewy sexy look on the cover of a magazine, and seeing a business tycoon's Northwestern Mandarin on a movie screen, it's so fashionable that it makes people's teeth chill. Companies and entrepreneurs with a sense of mystery are now rare and expensive, but there is one company that is doing very well, and that is Huawei.Although the industry has various criticisms and accusations against Huawei, they are more speculations.Huawei's technical problems, Huawei's strategy, and Huawei's management methods are all mysteries to outsiders.As for Ren Zhengfei, the leader of Huawei, he is even more powerful. He basically hides in the deep mountains, and he doesn't know where he is.Many journalists who claim to be very delicious have not been able to interview Ren Zhengfei during his career.And this leader Ren, although he has never published a word in the media, but the "Huawei Winter" he wrote for internal employees was leaked to the media, but it stirred up thousands of waves and caused heated discussions in the industry.In fact, after reading this article carefully, there are many great principles in it, but we outsiders are still confused about what Huawei is doing now and what it will do in the future.It is still useless to try to see some of Huawei's bottom line from "Huawei's Winter". Among Huawei's tens of thousands of employees, not many have met Ren Zhengfei himself.When I mentioned him, I couldn't explain why, but looking at my bulging wallet, I had no choice but to give him a thumbs up.Zhang Wuji saved the Mingjiao from fire and water, allowing the Mingjiao members to walk straight in the rivers and lakes. His contribution is at least not bad compared to Ren Zhengfei's contribution to Huawei.Moreover, Zhang Wuji's martial arts are world-class, generous and kind, and he should be more popular than the mysterious leader Ren Zhengfei who is hiding.But he is too approachable, and his friends know that he is soft-hearted and indecisive, so his grandfather, righteous father-in-law and daughter-in-law help him do all the big and small things of Mingjiao.His enemies know better about his credulity, and understand that Zhang Wuji's nepotistic and complex management network fell apart due to the vacillation of the top leader. Therefore, although Zhang Wuji's martial arts is so high that it is very mysterious, his character is not mysterious at all. The sense of contempt made Zhang Wuji doomed not to be a good leader.
