Chapter 23 Why can't Xiao Feng lead the gang of beggars to grow up?

China has been reforming and opening up for more than 25 years, and the market economy has emerged as the times require. Therefore, many companies have recently celebrated 20 years of summarizing experiences and lessons, and there have been many long-form credit records or confessions, whether sad or joyful.Of course, at this time, there are more public opinions discussing how Chinese companies should grow up, what is the role model for Chinese companies, what problems Chinese company leaders have, why they have these gaps, etc., so serious.Ladies and gentlemen, apart from the familiar private enterprises today, we might as well analyze the case of the Beggar Gang, the largest private enterprise in the Central Plains, and its manager, Xiao Feng.

Talking about a company is often inseparable from talking about people.As for Tan Beggars' Gang, among the previous gang leaders, Xiao Feng is obviously the one who attracts the most attention and is most likely to be selected as CCTV's economic figure of the year. It is not a lie to say that Xiao Feng is the leader of the beggar gang with the most administrative ability and management ability.Not to mention the great achievements he made before he became the leader of the gang, "his position as the leader of the gang is more difficult than any other leader", that is, after the death of the leader of the gang, Xiao Feng officially took office for eight years in charge of the beggars' gang. He always tried his best to resolve disputes and fight against powerful enemies. He organized the beggar gang well and prospered. He has a great reputation in the world and a high reputation.CEO Xiao is shrewd, hard-working, and has a deep relationship with the disciples of the beggar gang, especially the affection for the beggar gang. He can be called a model of ZTE CEO.In his heart, he would not put the Beggar Gang in second place like Huang Rong did.Even later, in the apricot forest, Quan Guanqing and other senior cadres joined forces with a considerable number of middle-level cadres to rebel against him and turned into disciples. Xiao Feng's crisis management plan combined with kindness and power can be called an MBA from an American Ivy League business school. level.

In Jin Yong's martial arts novels, the gang of beggars appeared and played a very important role in many novels, and Jin Yong did not hesitate to describe in detail the inheritance, organization and management of the gang of beggars.Before and after, there have been many gang leaders in the Beggar Gang, basically all of them are loyal and courageous, with outstanding martial arts skills.Even You Tanzhi, a puppet gang leader who hastily entered the stage and was immediately cast aside by others, in a fierce battle under Shaoshi Mountain, his martial arts are better than Xingxiu old monster Ding Chunqiu.Among these gang leaders, it is difficult to compare who has the highest number of martial arts, because when Jin Yong writes martial arts, the later he writes, the more unreliable he is, and he is so high that he is almost immortal.However, the administrative capabilities of the gang leaders can be compared.

Another gang leader, Wang Jiantong, whose corporate history has been written in a big book, is a legendary figure in the book, and the people who mentioned him spoke highly of him, but when it came to establishing Xiao Feng as the leader of the gang, he had no choice. Some are hesitant, and their behavior is self-contradictory, leaving behind a bane that is not conducive to the development of the beggar gang.After Xiao Feng, there was You Tanzhi, who had a very strong personal ability, who was the gang leader for a period of time, but apart from his superb martial arts, he was at the mercy of Quan Guanqing and Azi, and had no management at all.There is an old gang leader Qian mentioned in the book. His martial arts are good, but he is old and fatuous. He made a mess of gang affairs. A successful patron.And the well-known Hong Qigong was highly evaluated in the world, and he was decent and decent, he was a hero.But he indulges his lazy character, eats and drinks all day long, and doesn't know where to fight for justice all year round. Although he is very proud of the image of the Beggar Gang, loose management is indeed a hidden danger.

Huang Rong, the legendary female CEO of the Beggar Gang, is better than Hong Qigong. She has a better brain, so she handles things more quickly than ordinary people.But in her heart, the beggar gang has never been the first one. As a woman, Huang Rong's first priority in her heart is always how to help her husband Guo Jing.So Guo Jing was determined to do a good job in the great cause of defending Xiangyang, and she followed suit. As for where the beggar gang would go in the troubled times, she did not plan ahead.The most obvious example is that during Xiao Feng's administration, the beggar gang, as the largest gang in the Central Plains, has been carrying out major events against the Liao people.Although the Beggar Gang has been secretly helping Da Song to fight against foreign enemies and protect the country and the people, in order not to attract the attention of the enemy and attract the enemy to attack the Beggar Gang with all their strength, all kinds of strategies, regardless of success or failure, are just done. The venting is because the outside world doesn't know much about it, even the members of the gang try to keep it secret.But in Huang Rong's era, fearing that the world would not know that the beggar gang was doing such a big event, they first engaged in a boring matter of electing a martial arts leader, and then used the posture of the queen mother to unite the beggar gang tightly under the banner of "fighting against Mongolia".She passed the throne to Lu Youjiao, an old man who, despite his hard work, could not convince everyone with his martial arts ability.As for CEO Lu, if he met a person like Huo Dou whose martial arts and intelligence were not top-notch, he would be assassinated relatively easily.This matter can't be blamed on Lu Youjiao, it can only be blamed on Huang Rong for pushing him to a position beyond his reach.It was Yeluqi's turn to be the head of the beggar gang, but Yang Guo didn't do it and gave it to him. However, in terms of business performance in the future, he did not perform very well. It was passed to him and he couldn't learn all of it.The city of Xiangyang was destroyed, so he should have died for the country with his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family.Did he make strategic arrangements for the future development of the Beggar Gang?I don't know, but the only thing that is certain is the result, the beggar gang has since fallen.

In the Yuan Dynasty a hundred years later, several major sects besieged Guangmingding, and they no longer had the share of the beggar gang. After the six major sects retreated, they could only pick up the leaks with a few small gangs that were not well established. In terms of momentum, they had already lost to the people.As for Shi Huolong, the leader of the Shi gang, it was even worse.It turned out that the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms passed down by the previous beggar gang masters had not been learned by Yeluqi. Since then, the successive masters of the Beggar Gang only learned fourteen palms at most.Shi Huolong has learned a total of twelve palms. Many years ago, due to lack of internal energy when practicing this palm, he suffered from paralysis of the upper body and could not move his arms. Since then, he and his wife have gone to various places in the mountains to search for spirits. To treat diseases with medicine, the beggar gang's affairs are handed over to the two elders who teach and enforce the law, and the two leaders who hold the stick and hold the bowl.Such a management structure is obviously no longer a thriving enterprise management organization.

In fact, the second elder and the second leader do not belong to each other, and they are in charge of their own affairs. The dirty clothes and clean clothes of the gang are incompatible with each other, and there is no management and synergy between them, so that the huge gang of beggars is gradually declining.After Shi Huolong was paralyzed, he sought medical treatment and medicine by himself. He has been out of the world for more than 20 years, but he still refused to give up the position of the leader of the beggar gang. , basically can only wait for outsiders to merge or insiders to acquire.Later, an ambitious figure like the elder Chen Youliang appeared in the beggar gang, so it's no wonder that he can't be half-hearted.

Speaking of Xiao Feng's corporate management ability, the best example is his handling of the mutiny of his subordinates. At that time, most of the subordinates who were loyal to Xiao Feng were locked up by the traitor Quan Guanqing and others. Hundreds of people in the forest dealt with Xiao Feng alone. .Xiao Feng restrained the leader Quan Guanqing with one move, and tapped his Ya point so that he could no longer say inciting words. This is a good example of dealing with a company coup.First of all, we must subdue those who take the lead, especially depriving them of their right to speak. This thunderous method is the first step in crisis management.Then he sent people who were loyal to him to rescue the trapped gang members. Although the number of those people was not as large as that of the rebels on the scene, there were two high-status elders who taught and enforced the law. , which means that the power system is still functioning normally, and it will naturally be able to calm down the scene, making it impossible for the rebels to continue to expand the chaos.

After the crisis was resolved, Xiao Feng stabbed himself three times and six times, to wash away the crimes of rebellion of several elders. This method is extremely brilliant, it is definitely the only way to recruit loyal subordinates, and it is worth learning for future generations.Of course, there are also some considerations about who to help and not to help. You can't just show favor and sell well. Talents with quality are worth buying with such drastic means.Xiao Feng, for example, is particular about Quan Guanqing, who started to make trouble, must be resolutely cleaned up so that the enterprise can operate in the future.No matter how great Quan Guanqing's contribution was, he should be forced to commit suicide.But the hundreds of members of the other gangs are all the power of the beggar gang. As long as Xiao Feng has confidence in the future of the company and his ability to govern, it is of course the most practical to use these powers.

Xiao Feng is a capable person, otherwise he would not have become the leader of the largest gang in the Jianghu in the Song Dynasty, and he would have made a lot of contributions in Jurchen and tribal leaders.When he returned to his hometown of Liao, he was like a fish in water. He quelled the rebellion for Daliao CEO Yelu Hongji, which was a reproduced and upgraded version of the crisis management of the Beggar Gang. Xiao Feng has the most experience in handling such crises.In the future, he will become the king of the Southern Courtyard who is in position and minister.Yeluhong is basically a hero of a generation, and he would never be granted such a high position and let him hold the military power alone just because he and Xiao Feng are sworn brothers.Looking at Xiao Feng's command of troops and generals in the future, he will be very measured and has the demeanor of a general.

But Xiao Feng is not perfect, he has flaws, and it is a big flaw, it is this flaw that caused his fate as a tragic hero, simply put, it cost him his life.Xiao Feng is indeed a very good manager, effective, concise, and never procrastinating. The members of the Beggars' Gang and the South Liao Academy are all managed by him in an orderly manner.Even when the crisis appeared, Xiao Feng's handling was remarkable, but Xiao Feng is obviously not a brilliant business leader, so he can only be the executive general manager and operation officer, but he is not suitable to be the chairman of the board of directors and the board of directors. His biggest problem is that he only knows how to deal with the crisis in such a single environment. Once the problem becomes complicated and there are too many clues, Xiao Feng himself will be confused and lack strategic vision.This point seems to be similar to many well-known entrepreneurs (not necessarily leading brothers) in the Mainland.From "Mobile Phone Maniac", "Marketing Genius" to "Color TV King", the names don't need to be repeated here, but most of these fierce men have the ability to show their strength occasionally, and they may succeed in short-term tactics, even With great success and infinite prestige, he has become a hero talked about by the media.But when the opponents around them are scattered and it is really time to test the long-distance running ability of the sustainable development of the company, they will be blinded, so there are countless people who have fallen from the horse and walked away!In fact, there is no essential difference in fate from Xiao Feng. Let's say that Xiao Feng quelled the rebellion of the beggar gang, he had already passed the catastrophe, who knew Madam Ma came out and brought a few witnesses who were so-called bloody battles at Yanmen Pass, and based on two letters, they came to point out that Xiao Feng was from Khitan.Zhao Qiansun hides his head and reveals his tail, and his name is not real. Master Zhiguang concealed it, and even lied to Xiao Feng by swallowing the letter signed by the elder brother who took the lead. Stop drinking, firmly deny.At that time, the convincing subordinates on the scene would not insist on believing the words of those two people.Mrs. Ma took out the suicide note of Chief Wang and accused Xiao Feng of harming Deputy Chief Ma by stealing the letter. The physical evidence is a fan of Xiao Feng.On this issue, it is clear that Mrs. Ma's allegations are weak.Because Xiao Feng himself has already said that with his martial arts, if he wants to take something, even the palace compound, he will definitely not return it empty-handed. Pick up a handful of belongings as souvenirs?Mrs. Ma lied too badly, so she can lie on this issue. The credibility of the so-called important material evidence of the so-called gang leader Wang's suicide note she submitted is also debatable.Gangzhu Wang is not a calligrapher, so how difficult is it to find someone to pass off his handwriting?In the martial arts world, a little girl like Ah Zhu can easily transform herself into a big Xiao Feng.So at that time Xiao Feng read the suicide note of Wang Gangzhu, the letter of the elder brother who took the lead, and heard the story of Master Zhiguang. He should have never done it, and he was in a state of confusion. He recognized himself as a Khitan.At least, the testimonies of these people are all suspicious. Xiao Feng must at least act like a business strategist and use the rules of the game rationally. At least he must force Master Zhiguang to call out the leader to testify. His testimony naturally lacks credibility?How to prove that there is really a big brother who takes the lead in the world?If Zhiguang is willing, at least it will take some time to go back and forth, Xiao Feng will have time to maneuver, and he doesn't have to fall into such a big mystery, looking for the leading brother all over the world.This incident proves that although Xiao Feng has strong operational ability and is shrewd in dealing with technical issues, he is not smart enough and has no strategic mind. He cannot find a path that is most beneficial to him in a desperate situation. A medium-sized enterprise has been reorganized and developed into a large enterprise. However, when the external environment is complicated and the enemy is attacking from all directions, especially when some personal emotions are involved, Xiao Feng becomes too fragile. People in the world, don't let the people in the world lose my firm thinking and give up their responsibilities to the beggar gang. He can't be the helm of a troubled world. In the end, Xiao Feng became a great hero across ages and nations, in the humanistic sense, because he refused to help Liao attack Song, and the Song people were suspicious of him. In the gap between the times and nations, Xiao Feng chose the most tragic path. On the way, he coerced the Liao Lord, made an oath not to attack the Song Dynasty, and then committed suicide on the charge of betraying his motherland, which showed that there was no difference between the Liao and Song Dynasties in his heart, and only compassion in his heart.Seeing this, the men regretted their wrists and the women cried bitterly. No one was moved by Xiao Feng's great compassion. Many people said that the only two tears they shed while reading Jin Yong's novels were dedicated to Xiao Feng. Stabbed himself. But there was a person who was in a very similar situation to Xiao Feng, and what happened to this person was basically watched by everyone with a smile, there was nothing tragic at all, this person was Wei Xiaobao.On the one hand, he worked for Emperor Kangxi of the Tartars, and on the other hand, he led the heroes of the Tiandihui to carry out the revolution.It seems that after Kangxi learned about Wei Xiaobao's double-dealing behavior, he once said to him in earnest, "One cannot stay on two boats for a lifetime." Indeed, Wei Xiaobao, a fine human being, could not always stay on two boats in the end. , the wind is going smoothly, his choice is also very simple, "I quit." Bringing his wife, gold, silver and treasures to the south of the Yangtze River, opening a brothel and singing eighteen touches, Xiao Guizi will live a happy life forever. It is Jin Yong's most controversial work. Wei Xiaobao is a negation and contrast to all the heroes in Jin Yong's previous works, including our hero Xiao Feng.To say that Xiao Feng is stepping on two boats is a little sorry for his hero Gao Yi, but a person in such a high position as him, pushed by fate to such a cusp, he can't help but make a choice, there is a big question of right and wrong, there is no middle way to choose .Thanks to Temujin, Guo Jing's mother and son worshiped Jebe as their master, formed Anda with Tuo Lei, and engaged Huazheng. Temujin made him a golden sword son-in-law. In the Central Plains, Guo Jing's feelings for Mongolia are not insignificant.But once the Mongol soldiers invaded the country, Guo Jing never hesitated who to help, and he never thought of negotiating with Mongolia and persuading them to live in peace with Song Dynasty, even when he learned that the leader of the army was his brother Tuo Lei. , he also quickly made up his mind to destroy his relatives righteously. Guo Jing's mind is simple, so he didn't have the confusion of choosing between the two boats. He is from the Song Dynasty, and he is on the side of the Song people. People who are brothers can also be killed. Xiao Feng didn't want to offend either side, he was always thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds, that is, to preserve Song Dynasty, which raised him and was kind to him, and not offend Liao Kingdom, which gave birth to him and was kind to him, so he was in a dilemma, and his position was unclear. It is a taboo for the top leaders of enterprises.Because this will inevitably lead to repeated behavior, and the subordinates who follow him will inevitably be at a loss.It seems that both sides want to please, but in the end they are often empty-handed.Not good for the individual or the collective. In fact, in the battle of Juxian Village, Xiao Feng had already broken with the Central Plains martial arts, and at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, Xiao Feng, the king of the South Court, led the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry to make a majestic appearance, and showed his life and death brothers with the Eighteen Cavalry in front of the Central Plains Qunhao Loyalty, in this sense, Xiao Feng has chosen the position of a Khitan, and he already has a deep identification with his Khitan identity.What's more, he accepted Yelu Hongji's acknowledgment of his fate and became the Great King of the Southern Court for quite a period of time. In his position, he naturally wanted to seek his own government.He felt the enmity between the Liao Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty, and it was only a matter of time before the order to attack the Song Dynasty was passed on to him after taking the position of King of the Southern Courtyard.Yelu Hongji is a generation of heroes, how can he not stare at Da Song?Just like the TV series "Han Wu Dadi" said, "It is better to fight late than to fight early, and to fight small is not as good as to fight hard. The problems of a generation must be solved by the hands of a generation." Today, Xiao Feng is given a good opportunity to be familiar with the environment of the Southern Dynasties. How could Yelu Hongji's heart to compete in the Central Plains, the "parachutist" of his country, not burn like a raging fire of cooking oil.Xiao Feng pretended not to see Yelu Hongji's intentions, but he kept avoiding this question in his heart, sitting ambiguously on the throne of the king of the South Court, imagining that Yelu Hongji would never make this request for the south attack, which is too politically naive , It's not like a senior manager of a large enterprise group at all!But he, including people all over the world, recognized the new identity of Xiao Feng, a Khitan native, and his mind was suddenly filled with the belief of compassion and benevolence. This is a value system completely different from the Khitan enterprise group that hopes to expand rapidly. Xiao Feng To use this value system to guide his behavior is definitely not tolerated by the Khitan Enterprise Group. Kangxi said to Wei Xiaobao, "Little Guizi, you can't always be on two sides. If you are loyal to me and serve the court wholeheartedly, you will not be able to wade through the muddy waters of the Tiandihui. If you are determined to be the incense of the Tiandihui Lord, then you have to fight against me wholeheartedly." These two sentences scared Wei Xiaobao to the bum, but they were also good words that helped Wei Xiaobao make the final decision, and Kangxi's leadership temperament when he said these words was even more important. People are fascinated, even Wei Xiaobao can't match it, Xiao Feng can't match it, and Xiao Feng's boss Yelu Hongji can't match it.Yelu Hongji knew how to force Xiao Feng to lead troops to attack the Song Dynasty, and if the persecution failed, he used tricks to trick A Zishang into poisoning people, put Xiao Feng in prison, and did not kill him but let him go. Compared with Kangxi's calm and calm words, they are simply indiscriminate methods.In the end, naturally, Xiao Feng didn't care about it, and let Xiao Feng destroy his great cause of conquest of the Song Dynasty at the last moment, and Yelu Hongji's lifelong dream of military exploits came to naught. You can't blame Xiao Feng, you can only blame Chairman Yelu himself as the number one Xiu Because the kung fu is not yet home. Finally, Xiao Feng stabs his own chest with a broken arrow, sacrifices his life for righteousness, and completes a tragedy rarely seen in Jin Yong's works.This is a tragedy in the true sense, because it is not a car accident that fell from the sky, it is not a terminal illness that comes and goes without a trace in those cheap TV series, it is a tragedy of character, Xiao Feng uses his own character, step by step Pushed myself to a desperate situation with no room for turning around, and forced myself to death.Of course, it can also be said that precisely because his ability is not strong enough to withstand the excessive pressure imposed on him, and he lacks an effective exit mechanism, he can only choose the tragedy of intense self-destruction. Xiao Feng lacks strategic thinking, has executive power but no decisive power, and it is absolutely impossible to lead the beggar gang to continue to grow.His personality is at both ends, and his attitude is ambiguous. When he was a wage earner, his behavior would harm him. If he was allowed to be a decision maker and leader, he would not only harm himself.
