Chapter 17 Reputation

Chen Chong came to Singapore, and the National University School of Management invited him to give speeches to graduates. According to convention, the teachers of the School of Management should be hosted by him, opening for him, and introducing the students. However, Huang Yingying was hosted that night. The atmosphere in the 19RU university was more serious and solemn than in 30 years, and it was inconsistent with the temperament of entertainment stars, so this arrangement seemed a bit inconsistent.

Huang Yingying is really popular in Singapore. As soon as she came on stage, she aroused extremely warm applause and cheers.

"Mr. Chen, is this too overwhelming?"

"As a celebrity, it is inevitable to be popular."

Chen Chong had already reacted at this time. He must have revealed his interest in Huang Yingying last night, which attracted the attention of the Singapore government. So today he specially arranged for her to serve as the host. Singapore's means of attracting investment are also used to the extreme, not inferior to the mainland in the 1990s...

Huang Yingying probably felt that it was too overwhelming. She hurriedly introduced Chen Chong in English and said, "Next, Mr. Chen will give you a speech."

Chen Chong was already familiar with this kind of scene. He took a newspaper and walked onto the stage slowly, took the microphone from Huang Yingying's hand, thanked him, and said in Chinese: "Good evening everyone."

As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a little upset below because the National University of Singapore teaches English. In addition to Singapore, there are also Malaysian and Indonesian students. At least half of the hundreds of listeners present do not understand Chinese.

"I originally planned to speak in Chinese." Chen Chong was not embarrassed. He changed to English and said, "Because Chinese is my native language, it can express my ideas more clearly. However, there is a ritual in China, which is called following the local customs, so I would rather speak English. However, I may mention many Chinese stories and proverbs later. If the expression in English is not clear enough or cannot be expressed, I will speak directly in Chinese. Please understand."

Then he ignored it and started his speech, following the routine and saying a few modest words: "Principal Chen invited me to give a speech. I was very frightened. You are all my seniors and have successful academic performance. I am just a dropout. It is a joke to come here to give a speech, but I still came with a tough guts because I had to come, why had to come? Because there are many talents I want here."

Chen Chong spread the newspaper in his hand and put it upright to display it, saying, "The media in Singapore is very developed. I wrote a song for Miss Huang's friend last night. Today, the newspaper published the lyrics. The newspaper said that I was quick-thinking and the song was surging. It took only a few minutes to write this song. In fact, they misunderstood. This song is an attachment product of my thoughts, day and night thinking in recent times."

"I will talk about this song first. The song is called "Dedication". The lyrics are as follows: Dedicate the long road to the distance, dedicate the rose to love, what do I give to you, my lover, white clouds to the pasture, rivers to the ocean, what do I give to you, my friends..."

"I am not asking this song in front of you. It is not about self-praise, showing that I am a talented man, knowing how to write songs, nor is it about taking the opportunity to promote this song to prepare for making money in the future. I mentioned it because it is related to the topic I am going to talk about today, which is corporate management. This is the management school. I can't speak randomly, right?"

There were laughter from the audience.

"In ancient China, there was a famous military strategist named Cao Cao. He once wrote a poem before a war, with a few words called 'The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the magpies fly south. Around the trees three times, and what branches can be leaned on? The mountains are high and the sea is deep. Zhou Gong vomited and the world returns to his heart, expressing his ambition to attract talents from all over the world. China has always been known as poetry. Ancient poems are similar to modern songs. My song actually wants to express the meaning of attracting talents."

"I am very young, 1 year old. I have hundreds of millions of dollars in assets, more than a dozen branches and nearly a thousand employees, distributed in the United States, Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Of course, there will be Singapore in the future. Management is a very important but very annoying thing for me. Since I made the first 1 million, I have been thinking about what management is?"

"I thought about it for a long time, and finally I felt that I understood that management is two things. The first thing is to recruit talents, and the second thing is to give talents a platform to display their talents."

"Who is a talent? What kind of talent is it? Not only do others don't know, but many people may not know that Miss Huang is a genius for singing, but if no one asked her to sing, but instead asked her to be a teacher, it might be mediocre. For example, Principal Chen, if he didn't become a teacher at the beginning, but sang wholeheartedly, it might be very failure."

"Talents are like treasures given to humanity by gods. Whether in the East or the West, when asking for Gods, they have to offer sacrifices. Only with sacrifices can gods respond with their faces. When I wrote this song, I kept thinking that the National University is the world's top institution, and there must be many talents in it, 'What should I give to you, my talents? I really want to write this sentence into the lyrics, but it is very ugly and weird to sing like this. Is it so weird? Is it so ugly that I just singed?"

Shen Chong's plagiarism lyrics said that he had become a talented person from the National University of Singapore and his hard work was to create, satisfying the vanity and honor of the teachers and students present, and aroused extremely warm applause, which was louder than Huang Yingying's opening.

"I heard that Mr. Shen is very good at speaking. When I see you today, the rumors are not false."

"The song "Short Song" by Cao Mengde has been passed down through the ages." Wu Zuodong looked at Shen Chong who was calm on the stage and sighed: "His song "Dedication" will also be passed down as a beautiful story."

After the applause stopped, Shen Chong continued: "Talents are rare, but what is even more difficult is to build a platform that allows talents to display their talents. In Chinese history, there are too many examples of talents being abandoned for various reasons. Feng Tang is old and Li Guang is difficult to be granted. It is a pity that does not ask the people and ghosts and gods. There are poets in the Song Dynasty who said: "I sigh that the years have passed, the fame has not been established, and the scholars have grown old, and the opportunity will come. General Li meets the Gao Emperor, how can I tell the Marquis of Ten Thousand Houses beside him? He wears clothes, but he feels old and feels sad."

He first tweeted Chinese, then explained it in English, and then said: "People can use their talents to explain it in a hurry. I have not systematically studied management, so most of my methods of managing companies come from Chinese historical books. Emperor Taizong of Tang said that learning from history can help you understand the rise and fall of the country. I think the principles of running a company and governing the country in ancient China were called emperors and scholars and officials to rule the world. I have studied it for a long time and felt that this method has a good effect in managing companies. Nowadays, various ideologies are popular, including classicism, modernism, economic liberalism, conservatism, and political communism. I also made some fun and gave me the name of this management method, called elite authoritarianism, or modern authoritarianism..."

Chen Chong made a mess, and finally released his nonsense theme tonight - authoritarianism.

Modern authoritarianism was something that was summarized and refined by scholars in the late RU era. As a keyboard political party, Chen Chong actually only knew some of the superficiality, but the superficiality was enough. Anyway, it was just selling concepts to gain reputation. Just like the "knowledge economy", he had not explained a specific theory clearly, but it has now been recognized as a representative figure of the "knowledge economy".

Are there any authoritarian countries in the world that are more typical than Singapore and Taiwan in the RU era?

Moreover, in the next few decades, China, Russia, and many Southeast Asian countries have followed this path and have made considerable achievements.
