Qi's view of talents
Qi is one of the most powerful vassal states in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period. There are also many stories left in ancient books, among which two small stories about the use of talents are still memorable today.
BC 355 , Qi and Wei met. King Wei Hui asked, "Is there any treasure in Qi?" King Qi Wei replied, "No." Wang Hui, Wei Hui, was greatly surprised: "Although our country in Wei is small, there are still ten pearls that are one inch in diameter and can illuminate 12 cars in front and back. How can Qi be so big that there is no treasure?" qi Weiwang said calmly, "My 'baby outlook' is different from yours. I have a man named Tanzi. Since he guarded Nancheng, Chu has not dared to invade. Twelve southern princes have come to worship in our country. I sent Panzi to guard Gaotang, and the Zhao people in the west did not dare to fish in the Yellow River. Qianfu was stationed in Xuzhou, and more than 7,000 families in the neighboring Yan and Zhao countries came. I let the head of the seed be responsible for public security management and was followed by him. These four ministers, the light shines on our land for thousands of miles, and the area of more than 12 cars?"
King Wei takes property as his treasure, and King Qi takes talent as his treasure. The difference in their views also shows the difference in their respective concepts of governing the country, and also determines the different strength and influence of the two countries. Today, more than two thousand years later, General Secretary Xi Jinping has also expressed the concept of "talent is the first resource" on many occasions. 2013 10 21 , in his speech at the celebration meeting of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the European and American Alumni Association, he especially stressed: "'to rule the world lies in talents. 'Talent is an important indicator of a country's overall national strength. Without a grand team of high-quality talents, the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be difficult to realize smoothly."
Governing the country needs talents, and managing enterprises also needs talents. Just imagine, if there is no guarantee of talent team, no matter how advanced the equipment is, it is impossible to operate normally, no matter how excellent the products are, the quality cannot be guaranteed, and no matter how perfect the sales network can only stay on paper, of course, the enterprise cannot achieve the expected performance. The reason why Jianfeng has been able to go through the course of nearly 60 years, from a small cement plant to a cross-industry and cross-regional enterprise group is also the result of gathering the wisdom and strength of many talents and making continuous efforts to develop. In order to realize the enterprise vision of "one hundred years peak", we need to further cultivate and absorb more and more high-quality talents, so as to provide a broader space for all kinds of talents to play a role and display their talents.
So, what kind of talents can be considered as "talents"?
There is no doubt that the "Four Treasures" of King Qi Wei are certainly talents, and they are also great talents in governing the country. But in real life, there is no uniform format for talent. For example, after 57 years of talks between Qi and Wei, the State of Qin, which had undergone Shang Yang's reform, had become the largest force in the Warring States. At that time, the king of Qin heard Meng Changjun's virtuous name, so he forced Qi to send Meng Changjun to Qin in the name of exchanging hostages and imprisoned him to prevent future troubles. Meng Changjun's men turned to the King of Qin for help and were asked for a bribe, but the white fox fur had been offered to the King of Qin. What should I do? A door guest who was good at stealing came forward and stole the fox fur from the warehouse of the King of Qin. After "doing work", Meng Changjun was released and fled to Qi in a hurry. It was night when the border was approaching. According to the regulations, the traffic could only be switched on and off after the cock crowed. Another gate passenger who was good at oral skills stood up. A burst of "crow" made the pheasants in the mountains respond. After hearing this, the guards went to work "on time" and Meng Changjun was able to escape.
Compared with the talents of Tanzi and Qianfu in the first story, the craftsmen and thieves are of course inconspicuous or even inconspicuous. But at the critical moment, these little people played a decisive role. Who can say that they were not talents? If someone like Tanzi accompanied Meng Changjun into Qin Dynasty, the most likely result would be that everyone would go to jail together. As for whether they could go back to the hometown of Qi, it only depends on the mood of the King of Qin.
People always have strengths and weaknesses, and their talents have limitations. They are good at things, not good at things, good at doing big things, and good at doing trivial things. Meng Changjun will not entrust the great events of governing the town to the "robbers", nor will King Qi Wei let Tan Zi learn chicken call to entertain the public, because they know what kind of things should be done by what kind of people and what kind of people should do. The same is true in enterprises. If marketing experts are allowed to do equipment maintenance and technical experts are allowed to take care of environmental sanitation, things may be completed, and the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced. As for the waste of human resources, it is not simply measurable.
Therefore, only when people put the right "position" can they be worthy of the word "talent"; in reality, the reason why many people do nothing is that the "position" does not match. Of course, every enterprise has its own positioning, and the "position" within the enterprise also has its limitations, and it is impossible to achieve "all-match". Just like our peak view of talents, "everyone is talented and everyone makes the best use of their talents", if you want to truly achieve this, as managers at all levels, of course, you should dig out and discover the strengths of your subordinates as much as possible. Put everyone in the most suitable position, let them display their talents, so as to maximize the benefits of human resources; from the perspective of employees, they should also clarify their own positioning and make continuous efforts, show your strengths in your ability to strive for a more suitable position and opportunity. If you are not sure what you will do and what you can do, and you just wait silently for your superiors to "discover" yourself, I am afraid that the final result may be that the "position" is not waiting and the job is lost.

Due to the clear theme of the discussion, the management personnel at the meeting were well prepared, and the sparks of ideas collided from time to time during the discussion.

For example, the pharmaceutical group is most concerned about adjusting marketing strategies, handling the relationship between price and quantity, strengthening technological innovation to improve production efficiency and product quality, and subdividing professional fields to make characteristic markets, etc.; the cement group is more focused on reducing energy consumption, strengthening internal control and management optimization, improving operation efficiency, and extending to upstream and downstream industries; other industry groups have more urgent requirements for clear corporate positioning, strengthening business integration, innovating marketing models, and controlling business risks.
