In 2004, Tang Jun retired from Microsoft as Microsoft life honorary president of China, and took the about 2600000 stock option as president of Shanda network.

In Retrospect and analysis of Tang Jun's career development path over the past decade, we not only saw how he relied on wisdom and hard work to change his fate, but also saw the sweat behind his success.

Believing in Tang Jun's story is inspiring for every manager who wants to grow and hope for greater success.

From a poor student to a small boss, an infamous college student, relying on intelligence and perseverance to get the quota of studying in Japan, has stepped out of the first step in raising his status; the invention of Cara's OK scoring machine has earned him the first pot of gold; although he is a small boss of three companies, he hopes to go to a big company to learn the secret of "making things bigger".

59 points in the college entrance examination, and lost the opportunity to pursue an ideal university.

Every time he talks about his college entrance examination history, Tang Jun always sneer at himself because he only scored 59 points in Chinese test, and even if he got high marks in other subjects, he did not go to his ideal university.

Although the Beijing post and Telecommunications College (later renamed Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications) was one of the famous "eight colleges" at that time, it was not the first volunteer of Tang, but also the theoretical physics with limited interest.

Dissatisfaction, self abandonment, declining performance, the first three years of University, Tang Jun's professional performance is relatively low, some of the awards related to academic achievement are not his share, such as three good students.

Seeing that he was going to be in the senior year, Tang Jun had no choice but to ask himself, "how do I go next?"

When Tang Jun was practicing at the semiconductor Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he saw the computer for the first time. It was a beautiful Apple II. The magic of it was to draw experimental data directly out of the curve.

The 22 year old Tang Jun was amazed by this discovery.

Before the glowing computer screen, he suddenly realized how wrong the past slack was.

It was also at this time that Tang Jun met Sun Chunlan, a classmate of optical fiber communication, who later became his wife and began a sweet love affair.

Sun Chunlan found that Tang Jun didn't like theoretical physics. He gave Tang Jun an idea. "Fix our optical fiber communication. I will help you fill up the class."

With his understanding and his girlfriend's inspiration and help, Tang Jun's desire for learning has been rising unprecedentedly. He has begun to study the second major -- optical fiber communication.

It took him only a year and a half to finish the course that he had completed four years ago, and applied for the postgraduate of this major.

When many people do not know what the "optical fiber communication" is, Tang Jun has made his own judgment: wired communication has not much room for development, and the future must be the era of high-speed development of optical fiber communication.

Two, got the number of places to go abroad, and almost no one had confidence in his postgraduate entrance examination. The result of the examination surprised everyone. In the postgraduate examination of post, Tang Jun won the first place in optical fiber communication.

But Tang Jun failed to qualify for studying abroad, because he had never been a three good student.

This opportunity of Bei post has disappeared. Does it mean that Tang Jun can only give up the dream of going abroad?

Beijing has a total of 75 places to go abroad this year. This time the English question is very difficult, and the results are very few. Like a school like North post, only 5 students are qualified, so there are bound to be many places in other schools.

Tang Jun was excited by this reasoning. He immediately called the graduate students of various universities: "teacher, would you give me the excess quota?"

The person who answered the phone was baffled: "what's wrong with you?"

Also angry: "our own students are not enough, where do you get it?"

But Tang Jun knew that it was too easy for others to do it.

He continued to telephone the major institutions of higher learning in Beijing and smiled and asked about the number of places to study abroad.

Finally, a teacher at Beijing Broadcasting Institute said, "we can help you to report the materials to the Ministry of education for approval."

This voice made Tang Jun forget all his life.

The school is over here, but can it be approved?

The poor student had no money and no way. Tang Jun himself took the letter of recommendation to the deputy director of the Ministry of education abroad. After recognizing the man, he ran to the office of the Ministry of education abroad in the early morning. He nodded and smiled at the deputy director. "Ah, Hello, are you at work?"

At five or six in the afternoon, he stayed there and greeted the deputy director, "are you off duty?"

There are two sentences that are tossing and turning.

Two days later, the deputy director was moved by this young man's persistence.

In this way, Tang Jun got the opportunity to go to Japan to graduate students.

Three, during the period of reading, he started a "self-employed person" and went through a brief venture to go to the United States to study in 1990. It is much simpler than going to Japan in 1985.

Coming to the United States, Tang Jun's first feeling is that this place is very suitable for doing things.

In 1990, just when the American economy began to recover and take off, Tang Jun's only thought of studying outside the profession was to start his own business and run a company.

Tang Jun, who has been studying digital signal processing, thought of inventing the Cara OK scoring system. He applied his ideas for patents, and had no money to make chips. Tang Jun found Samsung.

Samsung spent $80 thousand to buy out Tang Jun's patent. Tang Jun was unhappy. Tang Jun was only 800 dollars a month.

80 thousand dollars is already a huge sum for an international student.

Relying on this first pot of gold, he set up a software company called "double eagle" in 1993.

Tang Jun has also done pnational "hole head".

He has opened a Hollywood entertainment company, and has planned many Chinese artists to visit the United States. Jiang Kun, Hou Yuewen and Song Zuying have been there.

Small companies will also be in big trouble.

Once, Tang Junhua asked twenty thousand lawyers to help artists get visas.

Only a week away from the show, the lawyer suddenly said, "Sorry, they were refused."

Tang Jun was so worried that all the tickets were sold out, and all the venue fees were handed over. If artists could not come, they would have to pay 200 thousand dollars!

This is enough to make Tang Jun bankrupt.

You can only think of it by yourself.

Who is in control of the fate of the United States?

Some politicians.

Tang Jun wrote letters to senators and congressmen in Losangeles.

He hit the soft spot of politicians.

The statesman was afraid that Tang Jun would hand over the letter to his rival. At that time, six or seven people wrote back to Tang Jun, and different people put pressure on the functional departments such as the State Council, the White House and the immigration department.

Before the performance, Tang Jun got a visa and got a revelation: I haven't spent a penny in a week's work, and I can run an office.

As soon as these artists left, Tang Jun set up an office with a very loud name: the first immigration office in the United States.

In 4 years, Tang Jun founded 3 companies. Before he went to Microsoft in 1994, he changed from a poor student to a small boss with hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Sitting in the position of president of Microsoft China, he will not be too expensive.

On the morning of May 1999, Ms. Wu Shihong, President of Microsoft China, resigned.

Romk, President of Microsoft Asia Pacific, called Tang Jun, who was president of Microsoft Asia Technology Center, and asked if he was interested. Tang Jun replied, "No."

By March 2002, when the position of president of Microsoft (China) was once again vacated, Tang Jun accepted it.

Tang Jun's achievements in Shanghai Microsoft provide the best reason for his accession to the position of president of Microsoft China in 2002.

Four, the management of the sword to take advantage of the management changes, as the Microsoft president of China, is destined to be a character on the cusp. But the cusp doesn't have to be earthshaking, pay attention to details, and start with seemingly unremarkable things. These are the 42 best practices of Tang Jun.

After Tang Jun took office as president of Microsoft China, the first thing that Mr. Tang Jun did was not to give a meeting to the senior management or the management (not to be called Tang Jun). Instead, he found the Microsoft China had a problem with the company's secretary after having problems in the company atmosphere, because Tang Jun found that the secret books were a great factor affecting the atmosphere of the company.

When the meeting was held, these secretaries always complained that they had the lowest status in the company. Tang Jun said, "you have a very low position in the company. I have not yet held a meeting with the deputy general. First, I will show your secretary how high you are. This shows that I need your help.

I can't see the company's atmosphere and want to change the atmosphere of the whole company. An enterprise can not be seen anywhere without any sincerity. For example, the office of the salesperson is very chaotic, just like a person who is evil and has no integrity.

The first thing you do is to help me sort out everything in the company.

The secretaries got the sword of Shang Fang and cleaned up all the debris in a day. All employees came into the office and felt a new look.

The tidiness of the environment gave everyone a hint that the company's atmosphere should start with a clean environment.

Five, performance has always been the reason for speaking. After Tang Jun took office as president of Microsoft China, he handed over his pcript very beautiful: in sales, it was the only company in the world who had the highest sales record in 6 consecutive months (July 2002 to January 2003).

Microsoft China 03 fiscal year (July 2002 to 2003 6/30) has become the fastest growing branch of Microsoft's 82 branches in the world.

As a good manager is like a senior sales person, Tang Jun believes that the core value is to let employees (that is, target consumers) agree, and their performance will be stimulated and promoted with this recognition.

No one will deny that the sales department is the profit center of the company, but the salesperson is also the most difficult group to manage. How can these "big name" sales clothes be managed and identified?

Tang Jun's experience is to do well their support and backing.

Once, Tang Jun, the newly appointed president of Microsoft China, participated in the sales KPI index meeting. He saw that the sales quota of the financial industry was set at 2 million dollars. Tang Jun said, "what can I do for you, you can complete the US $2 million index?"

Sales were surprised.

Tang Jun went on to say, "you have two requests for me, as long as I can do it."

There are two things in sales.

The first is that gifts to visit customers are often insufficient.

Tang Jun replied, "I'll give you a gift, and use my gift to order a batch of gifts from the president of Microsoft, China with my name."

The second thing to do is to run outside and have a lot of tedious work to do, such as putting up invoices.

Tang Jun said: "simple, give you the entire financial industry sales with a university student to be a part-time secretary, a month is only 150.
