"Wage Emperor" Tang June: Once a person is a tall easily lost

[Once, Tang June saw others interview Ma Yun, MA without scruple to curse, outspoken. This made Tang June envy. "You know someone who puts you up high, it's easy to get lost." Ma Yun makes the enterprise so big, also has been doing himself, his own way. ” ]

January 31, 2013, the winter in Shanghai is rare and sunny. Sitting in the Office of the Global Financial Building, No. 100th Century Avenue, Pudong New Area, with Tang June's peculiar style of sensational and thinking, the Chairman and CEO of Hong Kong and Macao News, Tang June accepted the "First financial daily" reporter interview.

Memories from Microsoft's China lifelong honorary president, to the Grand network president, and then to the President of the Xinhua--Blink of an eye, a scene is still in sight. The honor of the grand listing is covered, the back of the "work of the Emperor," the famous transfer, into the "Education gate" after the dilemma. "I think I've bypassed these thresholds and put my destiny in my own hands," he said.

Nearly 20 years of professional manager career, Tang June also seems to have experienced a career "fantasy drifting." Danger, challenges and opportunities follow. "China's professional managers are like this, accompanied by the tiger as the King." Said Tang June. "We are still in constant contact. After all, 3 days ago, Chen was still my boss. I remember sending him a message: you will always be my leader. ”

Today's Tang June still adhere to his two principles, one does not buy a house, two improper boss. "First of all, I use the money to buy a house to make a higher return on investment, and secondly, I want to live where there is more freedom." He also said, "I am not the boss, Hong Kong and Macao information My personal shares do not exceed 5%." I will stick to being a professional manager. The Chairman made the management team take turns. Make every employee of the company a shareholder. ”

The perplexity of the "Working Emperor"

There is no doubt that even if you do not buy a house, today's Tang June is a common wage earners to the "rich". According to the news, the Chen promised 1 billion "transfer fee", in Tang June's tenure, in the form of shares, cash, pay and options have been cashed. Such a high price, so that Tang June has long won the "Wage Emperor" laurel.

Outsiders see only "Emperor", and Tang June saw only "working". Confused? Of course. You want to know our classmate party, other people call is So-and-so boss, only call me or Tang June. Some people ask me why I am still working in the past 9 years. I don't think it's a great thing to start a business, and I don't think that working is a thing that can't be looked up. ”

Tang June's passion for "working" stems from 10 years of working experience at Microsoft. "At that time, I was the boss, the professional managers of foreign companies, the company empowered to do a lot of things." Functional norms are reasonable. ”

And the real experience in his work is the plight of Chinese private enterprises survival experience. Among the Chinese private enterprises, the CEO is "second", the name is "President", the job function is "Chairman Assistant".

Some people criticize Tang June for taking a high Commission and actually doing nothing. In this respect, Tang June is not opposed to, "China's private enterprises in the boss can make all the decisions, the second can cooperate with the boss to work well." ”

In his view, this is not its exclusive embarrassing situation. In China, professional managers have a difficult "three hurdles": decision-making power, fate, commitment to cash. "In general, the fate of Chinese professional managers in the hands of the boss, I want to do is to change all this." ”

According to Tang June revealed that he or will leave Xinhua before, there was a large private enterprise boss to look for him, the pay is also very attractive. "How much better can a private enterprise be than the company of Xinhua?" Break through the professional bottleneck, the Tang June into the Hong Kong and Macao information the greatest power.

The envy of Ma Yun's "Own Way"

In several versions of the story, Tang June's career turned, seen as a cumulative conflict with the Chen tree eruption. Tang June does not agree with this, "I and Chen Tree personal relationship is good." Two days ago we also meet to play golf, I will lose his money to win back. In addition, Tang June said it is because of the support of the Chen Tree, management team can successfully acquire the information of Hong Kong and Macao through MBO.

Tang June initially promised to promote the listing of the Xinhua group's 5 subsidiaries, until today, in addition to the "Joint Travel Network" has been sold no further progress. "This has my reason, I entered the Xinhua all, found is the main business of Xinhua is very traditional, growth rate 3%, this and Sheng growth 80% is completely different." I don't know much about these industries, so it is better to be a two shareholder in a mature listed company than to cultivate a listed company. According to the introduction, a few years, Xinhua have invested in enterprises, including Zijin mining, Tsingtao Beer, Yunnan white powder and so on, plus the original parent company, the number of listed companies has reached 5.

And for the rumors of Tang June's acquisition of Yunnan white powder weak lead to Chen Tree displeasure, Tang June said, "Yunnan white powder because of its unique resources, so far it is still worth the acquisition of good projects." For the result, Chen is clear and understood. And the people around Chen may not understand. ”

The "Education gate" incident is a "mishap" in Tang June's career. "I communicated with Chen-shu once when things happened." "Tang June recalls," I apologize, said sorry, because my personal things hurt the company. ”

But Tang June also thought that the education gate incident let him find himself. "I used to look at me through other people's evaluations and take myself seriously." Now I see myself through myself, I'm just a normal person. Ordinary people eat, sleep, talk, make mistakes. ”

Once, Tang June saw others interview Ma Yun, MA without scruple to curse, outspoken. This made Tang June envy. "You know someone who puts you up high, it's easy to get lost." Ma Yun makes the enterprise so big, also has been doing himself, his own way. ”

Plan a new company's future A-share listing

Speaking of several former bosses, Tang June frankly benefited a lot. What impressed me most is that he always keeps a sense of crisis and is very diligent in his work. ”

When it comes to the Chen tree, he thinks the Chen tree impresses him most about the opportunity. "Sometimes for a few years to wait for the right opportunity, the opportunity is never missed," he said. ”

"And what I am best at is management," Microsoft's 10 management experience let me know how to assemble a team, inspire momentum, and maintain confidence. "Tang June's self-assessment, today's Hong Kong and Macao Information Scale is 500 people, 2012 year profit of about 30 million yuan."

Initially, Tang June's idea was to make the Hong Kong and Macao Information A multi-media group, similar to Bloomberg, and then buy newspapers and television stations. But then the obstacles allowed him to turn the Hong Kong and Macao information into a financial services company. It is planned to expand the industry to cover it internet, medical medicine and real estate in 5 years. Finally realize a-share listing.

Compared with the past, Tang June believes that the biggest change today is the right to decision-making, and finally make their own decisions. This is another breakthrough in his career.

Today's Tang June officially passed the threshold of 50 years old. Tang June smiled, "I am still young, I can start again."
