"I wasn't really a CEO, and when I realized that, I decided to go with Lei to find a really good CEO for Jinshan," he said. ”

"It's a tough decision, and I think I'm calling for a new challenge," he said. ”

"It's a tough decision, and I'm most reluctant to have more than 1000 colleagues who have hired and worked together during Microsoft's tenure," he said. Zhanghongjiang wrote to Zhang before he decided to leave Microsoft, "I am always eager to explore novelty." ”

October 21, Microsoft held a farewell meeting for Zhanghongjiang, from the beginning of laughter to the end of tears. Perhaps, Zhanghongjiang left Microsoft's colleagues too much memory, like a child's favorite toy, was taken away, very sad. However, the world is not a feast, everyone has the right to pursue their ideals, now, just Zhanghongjiang found their own shore.

Digital Business era: We are very curious that you and Dr. Zhang for so many years, but also very tacit understanding, so what is the reason for you to leave Microsoft?

Zhanghongjiang: The question is like asking me 13 years ago why I left Silicon Valley, and Zhang said that 1997 wanted to take me from Silicon Valley, and I told him that Silicon Valley was such a good day, such good Chinese food, such a good culture, I had no reason to leave. But then I saw the development of the domestic economy, and then think hard, finally decided to go to Microsoft.

Today also is to give up my accumulation in the academic circle, I think I am accepting a call to accept a new challenge, the original hope to do within Microsoft, now I can also do in Jinshan.

Digital Business era: Why did you not choose your own business, but to join Jinshan as a professional manager?

Zhanghongjiang: Everyone is looking for a platform, as long as this platform can let your passion to release, can make your dream come true, in fact, there is no need to say specifically to choose a certain way, must be limited to a certain way. I think today we look at the industry, the whole internet situation, in fact, there are too many disturbances. Many people have not thought well about whether they want to start a business as a boss or to start a business. So what I want to say is, as long as you can find a platform to do things, do not rigidly adhere to the form.

Digital Business Age: Rei, when you nominate Dr. Zhanghongjiang, what do the other members of the Golden Hill Board think? How did you plan to get Dr. Zhanghongjiang to join you?

Lei: When I nominate Dr. Zhang, the board of Directors is unanimously adopted, but the most important and the most difficult is how to persuade Dr. Zhanghongjiang to join. We use Jinshan board members, executives let them take turns to persuade. Finally invited Lin (Millet Technology president) who worked with Dr. Zhanghongjiang, Lin with me every day, so ask him to help us convince. We spent three or four months before and after, finally persuaded Dr. Zhanghongjiang together to create a new era of Jinshan.

Zhanghongjiang: Yes, before Lin came to me, I had seen lei the past 23 years in Jinshan history, but also understand his angel investment situation, then I have felt lei is a trustworthy partner. So when I met Lin, I asked Lei what was wrong. Lin frankly told me that Lei pays special attention to detail and is a person who does not work. I was delighted to hear that I found myself having a lot in common with lei, so I had an idea after the conversation.

Digital Business Age: Please, Zhanghongjiang, you helped lei do a lot of work before Dr.

Baijun: Three months ago I announced to retire, and this period has been to help Lei find the right candidate, we hope that Jinshan can be led by the new CEO into a new era, until we find Dr. Zhanghongjiang, I believe he can lead Jinshan to a new level.

Digital Business era: initially you as the CEO of Jinshan, and now resign from this position, these years you give their performance dozen points, how to evaluate their experience in Jinshan?
