Recently, I have been traveling frequently for a while, and I want to find something relaxing to relax my brain, so I turned up Mr. Jin Yong's **. In "Blue Blood Sword", there is a plot that resonates with me and is worth pondering.
The protagonist in the story, Yuan Chengzhi, is the only son of the famous general Yuan Chonghuan in the late Ming Dynasty, who studied under the great god Mu Renqing, and accidentally got the secret book of the Golden Snake Langjun, with strong martial arts and upright chivalry. At the "Taishan Conference", he became the leader of the reckless group of heroes in seven provinces in less than half a year, and everyone admired him. However, just as the heroes were celebrating, the Qing soldiers invaded Shandong, and the hatred of the country and the family came to their hearts. Yuan Chengzhi decided to fight with his brothers and organize a plan for a decisive battle.
After consulting with Sun Zhongshou, a former general under his father's command, they adopted a strategy similar to that of the Three Kingdoms to "burn Bowangpo". Sun Zhongshou took the lead with the newly captured Ming soldiers, lured the enemy deep into the canyon area, and then annihilated them in one fell swoop. This means that the first battle is only allowed to lose, not to win. All the masters are in their places and waiting for the enemy soldiers. However, Yuan Chengzhi couldn't wait to rush out to take revenge, and was stopped by Sun many times.
As the vanguard was defeated as planned, Yuan Chengzhi was in a hurry to charge again, but Sun repeatedly advised: "Wait, it's not time yet." Seeing his men and horses fall in a pool of blood, Yuan Chengzhi couldn't bear it and asked to fight again. Sun resolutely stopped: "No, I can't rush until I raise the yellow flag!."During the whole process, Sun Zhongshou blocked three times in a row, and finally made Yuan Chengzhi wait. However, the other martial arts masters couldn't stand such a wait, and rushed down in advance, forming a mess.
In the end, Yuan Chengzhi, as the leader of the alliance, saw everyone rushing out, and he did not hesitate to rush to kill. However, there was no organization and coordination, and everything was messed up. Sun Zhongshou was furious and sighed: "Back then, when Yuan Gong led the troops, if his subordinates did not obey the order like this and killed the enemy on their own, all the generals would be invited to take out the Shang Fang sword and behead it." These heroes are all strong in martial arts, but they are simply a group of rabble, how can they compare to the elite soldiers that Yuan Gong trained in Ningyuan back then?This ** is a war, it's just nonsense!”
In Jin Yong's pen, once the regular troops are involved in "Blue Blood Sword", the combination of heroes is easy to become a plate of loose sand. Careful troop arrangement, multi-arm coordination, coupled with an effective management mechanism and strong rear support, these elements are basically absent. It is really difficult to form real combat effectiveness. The so-called "for chivalry" and "for generals" are two different realms after all.
When I read martial arts, I always envy the heroes for their superior martial arts, helping the weak and the strong, and being brave and invincible. However, when I watched it again, I suddenly felt sympathy for these heroes. Whether it is Guo Jing, Qiao Feng or Yuan Chengzhi, they are all like firefighters, "* On fire 'hit' ** The whole world's "gophers" run out, and they all need this "hammer" to fight. Others may be very cool to watch, but these heroes may eventually fall into the "curse of resources", so that the people around them have a "dependency mentality", and they always feel that the "heroes" are there, and you can do it.
From the perspective of the organization, "chivalry" is actually the opposite side of the "legalist" manager. Han Feizi said: "Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, while chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban." "In order to truly build an "iron army", "chivalry" is likely to become an object that needs to be cleaned up.
The so-called two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and they are covered in iron and can hit a few nails. The reason why the Qin State was able to sweep the Six Kingdoms was because of a strong incentive system for military merit, which realized that everyone was a soldier. This is not something that can be stopped by a certain "Jing Ke". No matter how strong an individual is, it can't compare to organized large-scale collaboration.
From "chivalry" to "will", from the expansion of personal ability boundaries to the improvement of overall efficiency, this is a problem that managers should think about. Zhang Xiaolong, known as the best product manager, spent two years at the beginning to knock 70,000 lines by himself, and made the best email software in China, foxmail. But if he still insists on knocking ** himself, he will not be able to create a product like WeChat.
From foxmail to WeChat, this is a transformation from "chivalry" to "will". With the battlefield to give full play to and the team members to work effectively together, there is no need to think about the supply of food and grass, which is how happy it is for the generals.
Recently, Ali's martial arts culture has attracted much attention, and when I went to Ali's headquarters for a meeting, the door of the reception room was written with three big characters of "Tibetan Scripture Pavilion", which made people feel emotional. Ali's life is not easy now, and "The Wind is Clear" Zhang Xiaolong has to go down in person to try to save the situation. The ending is not yet known, but in Jin Yong's writing, Guo Jing can't save the Southern Song Dynasty, and Yuan Chengzhi can't save the Ming Dynasty.
The so-called Zhang Xiaolong "rebuilding a Tencent" is actually a two-way effort for both "individuals" and "platforms". From "chivalry" to "general", this is the "sublimation" of the boundaries of personal ability. From "general" to "general", I want to thank that I have met not another "Chongzhen".
