The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Shanghai, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

The Tencent Autumn Campus Recruitment Conference, which was originally scheduled for October 25th, has been moved to the 25th of this month.

It was delayed for a whole month.

Countless students are looking forward to it and preparing for it.

No matter how many experts criticize Tencent for its ingratitude and betrayal of its partners online, Tencent remains ungrateful.

However, her internship salary is among the top three in the country.

This is no exaggeration, even for interns who are still unable to skillfully perform their tasks after starting work.

Unlike typical companies, Tengying would not simply fire employees without remorse.

We are looking to hire experienced staff.

This is actually not difficult at all, after all, too many people face unemployment in the talent market every year.

Given the same salary, who wouldn't want to hire someone who can start working right away?

Unlike other interns, Tengying gives all interns ample time to learn and adapt.

It's all so that they can settle down in a big city after graduation.

Once you get your intern badge, it's very rare that you won't be able to get a full-time position.

Unless it's someone whose personality or other aspects have major flaws.

For example, they can't get along with their colleagues and get angry easily.

I still wouldn't want this.

Therefore, even a prestigious university like the University of Finance and Economics attaches great importance to the campus recruitment conference of Tencent Film Group.

They might even specifically explain some standards and offer tips for HR personnel assessment.

Chen Pingsheng, a visiting professor, was not well-known at the university.

Having not attended a single class for so long, it's as if he's vanished without a trace.

This time, due to the unexpected arrival of his class, the principal specially posted it on various bulletin boards three days in advance.

Therefore, there were still quite a few students who came.

Judging by appearances, there are at least five hundred people.

Lin Qiunan no longer sat in the front, but instead wore a baseball cap and sat in the last row.

Only those who don't know her well would think she's a so-called aloof goddess.

Those who know her know that she is just a pretty girl from a small town in the countryside, but with a somewhat inferior personality.

She appears aloof, but that's just because she's not good at interacting with people and doesn't want to show too much of her true self.

The reason she deliberately wore a baseball cap was because she didn't want the person on stage to recognize her.

Perhaps in his eyes, he is no longer so clean!

Jiang Yilan still sat at the front, helping the professor prepare all sorts of materials.

And wiping the blackboard.

Actually, Chen Pingsheng never used chalk to write in class.

He was so embarrassed by his own appearance that he was ashamed of himself, and this time was no exception.

As always, he answers questions, without relying on fixed knowledge.

He has experience in everything related to social practice.

As for some of the questions asked by college students, he didn't know how to answer them.

Because others are already answering their own questions.

Q: Professor, what is your opinion on the recent layoffs of veteran executives at Tencent Film Group?

He hasn't even started answering yet.

That college student compiled a whole bunch of experiences on his own.

For example, this was an extremely unsuccessful reform.

This is not only reflected in the stock market, but also in long-term talent recruitment.

The college student spoke eloquently, and anyone who didn't know better would think he was the lecturer.

If Lin Qiunan didn't know the identity of the person on stage, she might have just followed the crowd and thought that what he said made some sense.

After all, he was presenting facts and evidence.

At least most of the people in the room thought he was right, and many of the girls even felt dizzy.

Upon learning the identity of the person on stage, Lin Qiunan felt extremely embarrassed.

Without a doubt, this is a boastful young master.

In ancient times, he was known as a general who only knew how to talk about war on paper.

Fortunately, the person on stage was truly well-mannered and actually listened to him continue speaking.

"Everyone, if I were the big boss of Tengying, I would definitely stop this failed group restructuring immediately in order to minimize the losses."

After he finished speaking, a round of applause erupted from below.

He was quite pleased with himself, and only then did he look at Chen Pingsheng on the stage.

"Professor, I can answer this question for you."

Chen Pingsheng asked noncommittally, "Excuse me, young man, what do you do for a living now, and what do your family members do?"

"I am the vice president of the student union, and my family also runs a small business in Shanghai."

"Do you know how many industries Tengying Group is involved in, and how many employees it has in total?"

Chen Pingsheng said, "If you can build a super-large group with over a million employees, why do you think you have better vision than his boss?"

Those below wanted to object, but they were speechless.

Yes, are they teaching a boss with a net worth of over 10 billion how to do things?
This whole thing is pretty funny.

Countless people immediately realized that no matter how eloquently someone speaks, they lack any real experience or social practice; it's all just empty talk and grandstanding.

Especially since the person who made the statement is a second-generation resident of Shanghai who benefited from land expropriation.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he intends to change the world after graduation.

Then, he squandered the compensation money his parents received from the demolition.

The last person who was so confident in front of him was his cousin, whose wife jumped off a building.

The grass on the grave mound is already three meters high.

This classmate was not convinced at all, and Chen Pingsheng would not argue with such a person.

If you win the argument, you'll be just like him.

Even if you lose the argument, you'll still be the same as him.

The next student who asked a question was slightly better. He asked a big question about social practice: whether it's possible to maintain one's integrity after entering the workplace.

There is no absolute answer to this kind of question; it completely depends on where you are.

If you work for a state-owned enterprise or a monopoly, being honest often leads to being out of place.

If you have ideals and ambitions, the best advice is not to seek stability too early.

We should pursue a results-oriented market economy.

He couldn't say it too explicitly because of his position, but the meaning was the same.

To put it bluntly, in any stable organization, position determines everything.

For the average person, making progress after entering the program is extremely difficult.

University students are often a group of theoretical students who lack social practice before they formally enter society.

Many people are often exceptionally confident, only to find themselves hitting walls everywhere after entering society.

Finally, he was covered in wounds.

Most people have to go through this process, while a small number are able to keep trying and making mistakes because of their parents' relationships or family background.

He checked the time himself, and another forty minutes of class had passed leisurely.

get out of class is about to end.

Lin Qiunan, sitting in the back, saw that time was almost up.

She immediately raised her hand and, pulling her baseball cap down low, asked a question that no one quite understood.

"What should be done if someone makes a mistake?"

Chen Pingsheng had actually noticed her; it was hard for him not to notice a girl like that sitting in the classroom.
Others might not know what she was asking, but Chen Pingsheng certainly did.

This female student clearly blamed her participation in the "selection of concubines" group as a wrong choice.

In fact, this is more likely due to a serious problem with the company's values, leading to a series of unfortunate coincidences.

Chen Pingsheng simply explained it to her and told her to wait for notification.

Lin Qiunan didn't know what it meant, but she understood that the person on stage was not blaming the innocent girls for the concubine selection incident.

In response to this absurd incident that should never have happened, Tencent Pictures Group has already begun a comprehensive rectification.

And for these girls who have been hurt, Teng Ying will try her best to make amends.

in the afternoon.

Lin Qiunan then received a mysterious phone call.

The other party identified herself as Zhang Wanyi and asked her to visit the headquarters of Tengying in Shanghai when she had time.

Zhang Wanyi knew that this was a miracle among interns.

She jumped to the position of secretary at Tencent Film Studio, and in less than three years, she not only bought a house in Shanghai outright but also drove a Bentley.

This is nothing short of an intern miracle.

Why did she contact me?

Not only her, but also Jiang Yilan's best friend Han Ya was among them.

Both of them were direct participants in the concubine selection group incident, which is why they had some misunderstandings about Tencent Film Group.

Zhang Wanyi, on the orders of the big boss, received them on the top floor of the headquarters.

I was very nervous when I arrived, and I was extremely uneasy when I left.

They were directly recruited into Tengying Group and even received some special privileges. For example, Lin Qiunan, who majored in economics and finance, was specially approved to be admitted to the Tengying Group's reserve secretariat.

What does that mean? It means someone who is specifically responsible for organizing the daily work for the big boss.

Although it was a backup option, this was a position she had never even dared to dream of before.

Lin Qiunan asked why.

Zhang Wanyi simply told her that this was the big boss's idea, and that she knew that they all had some misunderstandings about Tengying Group.

The reason for arranging for you to join the secretariat is to let you see for yourself that Tengying is not what you think it is; it has just gone astray for a while.

what do you mean.

In other words, it did not attribute the mistake of laying off a large number of senior executives to them.

He also took the initiative to make up for a series of mistakes caused by Gao Hu.

The biggest consequence of this mistake is that they no longer trust the company.

Only by truly involving them, letting them experience it for themselves, and witnessing it firsthand, can we truly help them.

Only then will you understand what kind of company Tencent is.

After something happens, many companies can't solve the problem, but they are used to blaming the people who raise the problem.

It's obvious that Chen Pingsheng wouldn't.

After dealing with the person who caused the problem, he will also confront those who have been harmed by the problem.

This is perhaps what is meant by getting to the root of the problem.

Running a business is never an easy task, especially after it develops into a super-large group.

Because of the massive workforce of over a million employees, everything will become more complex than simple.

In times like these, what can still propel a company or even a group forward in the right direction is no longer some godlike business decision.

Rather, it is a group's correct values, corporate vision, and sense of mission.

That is, corporate culture.

Many people use these things as empty slogans to fool employees, but they are actually the three core elements that drive a super-large enterprise forward.

What Chen Pingsheng wants to do in the next two years is to truly build a super-large group with its own core values, namely corporate culture and vision.

This internally generated culture then guides all management teams to move forward correctly and with unwavering determination.

Having reached this point, businesses should no longer be simply focused on making money for the sake of making money.

It has a greater responsibility to shoulder social responsibility, which is its own sense of mission.

What Lin Qiunan found most unbelievable was...

After she joined the secretariat, Zhang Wanyi actually asked her to personally participate in the university's campus recruitment and witness the entire group's process from campus recruitment to training and formal employment.

What made her want to cry even more was that before Tengying Group officially started its campus recruitment process...

There was already a special list, and she herself was on that special list.

Lin Qiunan, female, 22 years old this year, majoring in finance.

She was born in a small town in Jiangsu Province. When she was five years old, her father was disabled and became lame due to a construction accident.

He and his mother made a living by setting up stalls everywhere since he was a child. His older sister dropped out of high school, and he did everything he could to support her to go to university.

(Note: Students from impoverished backgrounds are specially recruited by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.)
Besides her, there are many other people on the list who come from similar backgrounds.

It turns out she had already been specially recruited by Tencent Group, but she just didn't know it.

A list is a testament to Tencent Film Group's social responsibility.

By a twist of fate, she, who was unaware of the situation, almost fell into a pit of suffering.

If Chen Pingsheng hadn't happened to be a professor at the University of Finance and Economics, she probably would have ended up like the people before her.

If there is a first time, there will be a second time.

In the end, I no longer believe in love, nor do I believe in society.

Naturally, this would also generate a series of resentments towards the name Teng Ying.

Zhang Wanyi took her to see the entire process of launching the campus recruitment fair.

Tencent Film Studio will investigate students' qualifications in advance, that is, obtain a list of impoverished students from the school.

Then, we will check each item on this list.

Once the list is finalized, the campus recruitment fair will officially begin, regardless of how these individuals perform in front of HR.

They will also be specially recruited into Tencent Film Group.

Because the big boss once said something that resonated deeply.

Don't expect college students from impoverished families to be eloquent and worldly-wise during their university years.

This is the greatest evil against human nature.

Because of poverty, these people have already put in ten times the effort of others in their pursuit of knowledge.

Because of poverty, they couldn't afford a decent designer dress or treat their classmates to a big meal.

They even hesitate for several years before buying a laptop for studying.

If you want such a person to be in college, before they have a stable income and a certain degree of financial freedom.

He then began to speak fluently and confidently.

Such an HR professional must be fired.

Because he simply doesn't understand what the path of life or the path of living means.

The boss's words have always been displayed on the most prominent wall in the human resources department.

This serves as a reminder to all HR professionals to better understand and help students from impoverished backgrounds.

Instead of demanding things they didn't have growing up.

Confidence is the backbone of an enterprise. Only when they join Tengying, within a month, three months, or even half a year, can they truly build confidence.

The true success of a company lies in building that confidence from scratch, and that is the responsibility of HR.

It must be said that the rules and regulations of the entire group are often influenced by the big boss.

This is why Tencent's interns have always received excellent treatment here.

Perhaps from the very beginning, the only ones who were wrong were that small group of people.

And those who suffer harm are people like them, who are struggling to make a living and have to exert all their strength to survive.

In fact, they all forgot that the big boss of Tengying Group was once a person like that.

Therefore, he can better understand university interns who are also at this stage.

Even now, Tengying continues to uphold its core values.

From the very beginning of the recruitment process, the big boss has been calling for more understanding.

But after taking on the internship, his principle changed to helping.

At Tencent Film Studio, there is a strict rule: whenever a superior goes out to eat with a subordinate, the subordinate must pay the bill.

Then the superior will immediately be punished, at the very least by a fine.

Serious offenses will result in immediate dismissal.

In the early days of the group's development, countless people tried every means to curry favor with the big boss.

People who say all sorts of nice things to him have been fired one after another.

Even now, Tengying Group regards so-called interpersonal relationships, trying hard to please superiors, and opportunism as the root of corruption in the company.

Therefore, the design of many things is fundamentally the opposite of these things.

Anyone who dares to accept gifts from subordinates, no matter how minor, will be punished.

All of this is to protect newcomers and those honest and hardworking employees who are genuinely capable of doing good.

The rise of Tencent Games was not an accident.

Rather, it truly stems from a person's enduring values ​​and their own upright conduct.

As the big boss said, he certainly wouldn't ask you to do what he himself couldn't do.

He will only ask you to do what he himself can do.

No one in the entire Tengying Group dared to get married and then seduce a female subordinate.

Gao Hu set this precedent, so he had no choice but to leave.

Gao Hu is one of the three elders and the big boss's childhood friend; they grew up together.

It is absolutely forbidden to cross the line.

That is precisely why Tencent's system and rules can absolutely constrain everyone.

If you only care about beautiful women, there's no place like Tencent Entertainment.

It is precisely because of this positive atmosphere that Tencent Entertainment has won the favor of all artists.

Whether famous or unknown, people flock to join the franchise.

This has also supported half of its business in the entertainment industry, making it a super-large entertainment industry group with a market value of 160 billion.

Only after witnessing these things firsthand did Lin Qiunan realize that perhaps she had misunderstood one of the best private enterprises in the country.

What it has always upheld is that unwavering sense of social responsibility.

And the endless favoritism shown to these special students.

What kind of person is he?

And why would you choose to become an ordinary visiting professor at a university?
Not only did she not know the answer, but very few of the group's senior executives did.

Perhaps the only person who knows is his wife.

His wife, Song Yanxi, never comes to the company.

She also doesn't have much interaction with the senior executives of Tengying; she manages Shuiyunjian on her own.

In her own words, her not coming at all, given her status, was the best way to manage Tencent Film Studio.

Not only is she not allowed to come, but her mother, Liu Fen, and her relatives from her maternal side are also not allowed to enter Tengying Group at will.

Undoubtedly, the big boss's wife is also an extremely outstanding and capable woman. (End of Chapter)
