Lenovo CEO: The Biggest Game For Men Is Work.

There are many opportunities in life. When opportunities come, it depends on whether you can grasp them. This is related to some basic qualities of you. For example, whether you are honest or not, many people will be folded on this.

The tall, black face, big stature, and powerful pace of Liu Jun's 36 year old basketball boy are full of mental strength.

He said to himself, "it's not so good now. It was better than a few years ago.

The interview with Liu Jun is very difficult. He is very low-key. According to Lenovo public relations officer, Liu Jun seldom receives an exclusive interview with him because of his business needs and meets with the media at the strategy and product launches. He never publicize his personal opportunities to the media.

Yang Yuanqing, as his right-hand man and Liu Jun, also gradually picked up the gird of Lenovo: from Lenovo's first PC R & D Manager to the most important general manager of desktop computer business department, from the head of consumer IT business group to the planning and operation system of the whole group.

Along the way, he walked smoothly and shoulders became heavier and heavier.

Yang Yuanqing was the chairman of the board of directors. He was in New York, and the whole family was handed over to Liu Jun, the title of which is Lenovo's chief operating officer.

Now, the new Lenovo integrated into the middle market, the Lenovo China's performance is very important, so, "all the efforts to Lenovo China work well, also spend a considerable amount of time to participate in the whole company's major policy formulation" Liu Jun, crying is inevitable.

Liu Jun said he still had a lot of work to do: when he took office for 4 months, new Lenovo's first quarter earnings showed that the new Lenovo contributed more than 40% to the "greater people" profit in the Greater China region.

"Alone," the performance is also very good.

Thank the people of the whole country for Lenovo's great support! "

Liu Jun speaks fast.

He said frankly that if he hadn't changed his job frequently and kept working at a job for a period of time, if he hadn't stayed in Yuan Qing (called Yang Yuanqing's special language), he would have enjoyed his nest like an ant.

The gap between China's first line enterprises and the west is obviously narrowing. China has achieved good results in Lenovo Lenovo. Liu Jun still dare not take it lightly. First, the competition in the PC market is fierce. The two is the integration of new Lenovo into the deep water area.

"Because the takeover is really" snake swallow elephant ", the acquisition part of the business is about 4 times the size of us, and it is a globalized old enterprise. We must grasp the risks one by one, sort them, and then take precautions against them.

There is no successful mode here. As the first group of people to try, we are faced with such a mysterious, strange and even terrible front.

When Liu Jun said "terror", he increased his tone.

Indeed, from CNOOC's bid for Unocal defeat to Haier's withdrawal from the battle of the United States, it seems like a lingering curse to envelops many ambitious entrepreneurs.

However, after the acquisition, Liu Jun was delighted to find that he was not as bad as the first class enterprises in the West.

In fact, the gap between China's first line enterprises and western enterprises has obviously narrowed in terms of business management.

In general, this gap is not the gap between the foreign guns and the broadsword of the eight nation allied forces in Beijing, but the gap is not so big.

Liu Jun told reporters that Lenovo, a Lenovo of a big international company, is facing the biggest practical difficulty, which is language. But this is only a temporary difficulty.

He is learning English now. Not long ago, he also reported to his direct supervisor, Steve Ward, in English.

When chatting with reporters, English words came out of his mouth.

The most difficult part is the body. Because of the jet lag with the United States, I almost formed the habit of basically having lunch boxes, and finished work at 10:12 o'clock, because only then can I communicate.

Sometimes even two. You get up in the morning and have a meeting at half past seven or eight. They go to bed, and you start working again.

He also had to adapt himself to travel, go abroad before, take a day off there, fall the time difference, and work on the second day.

Now we have to work and listen to English. The more we hear it, the more sleepy we are.

I once set a record of flying back and forth to the United States for 48 hours, flying over, meeting and flying back.

Chinese people are particularly reluctant to move, but in global companies, being a top management must be accustomed to living in a migratory way, and it is very challenging to have wives and children who have the ability to migrate.

At this point, Liu Jun crooked his lips and showed a helpless expression on his face.

When Liu Jun graduated from Tsinghua University in 1993, he entered Lenovo. After 12 years, all of his experience in business management and marketing came from Lenovo.

Liu Jun, frankly, admitted that he had been tempted at that time, because he wanted to get into a foreign company because of his graduation. In addition, he also had a reputation for Lenovo, and his treatment was not as good as it is now. Later, foreign companies came to dig him.

"You can imagine that people pay you 5 times as much as you are now. You don't have a car or a house, you have to ride a bike to and from work every day, and even consider taking taxi. 5 times Offer and the special name of a multinational company are really tempting."

After Liu Jun's initial contact, he was discouraged by the fact that the foreign company clearly told him that his position had been the highest level among the local staff, and that promotion was almost impossible.

In fact, life is very short. Like us who are professional managers, your career and work is the most important part of your life.

When you spend your time at work, you spend more time with your colleagues than with your family.

So a good working environment and a good working atmosphere should be the most important criterion for your choice of work.

Therefore, Liu Jun, who is not willing to be blocked by "ceiling", remains in the development of Lenovo.

Fortunately, he soon entered Yang Yuanqing's horizons and began to enter the core.

From April 1996 to April 1998, Liu Jun served as the first general manager of Lenovo computer company R & D department and vice general manager of the company.

Under his chairmanship, Lenovo established China's first IT industrial design center.

"At that time, I was not at all like this, childish.

I and more than 60 research and development department chap design a product, and develop it, is Lenovo's first profitable household computer - "Scorpio" series, but this product almost halfway aborted!

Because we installed a lot of things, there are CD-ROM, floppy drive, are big, very ugly, we will use a door to cover it.

It is common now that it was innovation at that time.

When reviewing, the director of the production department jumped out and said that the workers could easily knock the door off in the process of operation, because this would obliterate our innovation.

The lawsuit came to Yang Yuanqing, Liu Jun got support, and his achievements proved his accuracy.

This time, Liu Jun succeeded again.

In the first month of sale, net profit reached 30 million. He hung his heart for a long time and fell back to his stomach.

"That's the first time we invest in a product with 13 million. It's really a little fun. Fortunately, the pressure time is relatively short. We earned it in a month, and the boss is happy. Everyone is happy."

At the key point, Liu Jun insisted on the compromise of what he did in Lenovo, so someone gave him a nickname, "Fujiang".

Liu Jun said that this call made him very harsh, because he had always been a bad luck man, and he had never won a prize.

When we were in the University, we drew lots to decide the elective course. There were 30 people in a class, and 5 people were taken to study classes that we didn't want to learn.

When there were more than a dozen people left, 4 had been taken away. Liu Jun was afraid that the last one would come to him and simply go for it.

The result is a shake of the hand, and then everyone cheers.

How lucky is luck when it is so bad?

Liu Jun felt that he was no good at all.

"I am neither smart nor romantic, but my strength is also very clear -- leadership.

I can organize a group of competent people to enable them to give full play to their abilities so that everyone can enjoy the working environment and be willing to work in this environment and eventually push forward a whole team.

This is the most important key success factor for me.

It's not coordination, leadership, coordination. Leadership is only when you encounter key points, only you know what is right, only you can cling to it.

Observing, respecting your colleagues, listening attentively, and participating in your discussions are talented people. They speak their minds and talk about everything. It's easy when you cling to the board.

Liu Jun, who can lead a more than 10000 person company, can not solve all problems by leadership alone. Many times, he will make use of compromise, so some media say he is "soft".

"Once we get to know, respect is natural.

It is very important to grasp a degree in large companies and grasp a degree of communication, compromise and perseverance.

Because in a big company, everyone is able to accomplish tasks through collaborative work, and to help others well, others will help you when you need help.

Stick to the key points and compromise on the key points. "

Now, I don't play basketball anymore. I'm a bit of a puffy person. What do you think of yourself as a young and successful person?

Liu Jun: I think I am a wage earner.

Fortunately, the operation of the plate is relatively large, Lenovo China is 30 billion of the turnover, basically every batch of seven or eight digit money, and also quite a sense of success.

But compared with so many successful entrepreneurs and professional managers in China, I am a real wage earner.

Do your job well and earn money for your boss.

Who is your influence on your growth path?

Liu Jun: there are many opportunities in life. When opportunities come, it depends on whether you can grasp them. This is related to some basic qualities of you, such as whether you are upright or not, and many people will be folded on this.

Why can I do well in leadership?

That's because I can treat things with my heart and not selfish interests.

Such quality is actually a very important quality of human beings.

Some people are good at doing things, but virtue is a little bit worse. That will affect their development especially. Some people are not very smart, but very diligent and have no problems with character.

The more people go up, the easier it is to be trusted and reused by their leaders.

I am grateful to my parents, my father is a middle school teacher, my mother is a doctor, I am an ordinary family, but they give me a good education.

I am a good person in character, including communication with people, consideration for others, and so on.

If they had taught me to fail, I would not have been in this position today.

Do you have much time with your family?

I heard that you used to like basketball very much.

Liu Jun: I like it now, but there is little time.

It's puffy and swollen now.

When you exercise best, you are thinner than you are now.

Because I didn't play much, my body became empty.

Besides playing basketball, I also go outing. I prefer playing.

Are there any other sports?

Liu Jun: if I had time, I would like to play basketball.

Relatively intense, short time will have very good results.

Some friends encouraged me to play golf, but I didn't think that would suit me. It took too much time.

Basketball has changed a lot. There is a touch of teamwork. Golf is a personal job. The main reason is that it is too slow and too much time.

I decided to start playing golf when I was 45 years old.

Zhou: do you still have leisure time for your boss?

Liu Jun: a little bit less recently. My favorite job is work. So I don't feel pain. A good working environment is fun when you immerse yourself in it.

For men, the biggest game in life is work. I think so.

Are you a workaholic?

Liu Jun: No, I share my work and life very well.

In those days, I played basketball every day before the college entrance examination. The teacher said I was not in a state at all, and told my dad that my father said he believed me.

Since I was young, I should have had a rest and no hurry.
