As a seasoned industry expert with rich experiences as a financial journalist, media editor, consultant, trainer, entrepreneur, and professional manager, and having in-depth contact with hundreds of top entrepreneurs in China and the world, Li offers a unique and high-level perspective, profoundly analyzing how Liu Chuanzhi, Li Dongsheng, Ren Zhengfei, and Wang Shi meticulously built the boards of directors, chairmen, managers, core teams, and systems of leading enterprises like Lenovo, TCL, Huawei, and Vanke. He delves into the secrets of how companies like Hongta, Microsoft, and ??? break through the three types of company power games—state-owned enterprises like officialdom, private enterprises like gambling, and foreign enterprises like warfare. For the first time, he decomposes the five stages of Chinese-style power: Hidden Dragon, Emerging Dragon, Deep Dragon, Flying Dragon, and Exalted Dragon. He thoroughly reconstructs the seven steps of company power for famous enterprises like Baidu, Midea, Far East, Wahaha, Huicong, BYD, Gome, Acer, Yangtze, and General Motors: grasping power, consolidating power, controlling power, delegating power, sharing power, centralizing power, and handing over power. He completely deciphers nine company power laws for Huawei, Vanke, Walmart, ZTE, and Huawei: "parachute," "big shot," "close relatives," "subculture," "south of Huainan," "asymmetry," "sandwich cake," "ceiling," and "star show." These are the five practical tools of Company Power: one ace, three power fields, five stages, seven steps, and nine laws. These five practical tools comprehensively decode the mysterious concept of company power, helping Chinese companies to thrive! Some well-known media editors in China have paid rare attention to this book. Yu Shaowen, Editor-in-Chief of Manager Magazine, believes that as the first book in China to profoundly reveal the concept of "company power," Li Chaoju's Company Power will profoundly influence the future of you or your company! Liu Donghua, Editor-in-Chief of China Entrepreneurs Magazine, says that Li Chaoju's Company Power is a valuable exploration, and he hopes this exploration can play a unique and irreplaceable role in the true growth of Chinese enterprises and entrepreneurs. Yu Guoming, Vice Dean of the School of Journalism at Renmin University of China and Doctoral Supervisor, believes that the uniqueness of this book lies in its accessibility to both the masses and the elite—"sage-like figures speak in plain language." The mysteries of life are often profound, and only a wise person can explain them clearly. I have always believed that academia should be transparent, like sunlight, illuminating the lives of most people. Clearly, Mr. Li Chaoju's Company Power, with his experience, pen, and wisdom, has achieved this. Qin Shuo, Editor-in-Chief of Financial Times, believes that the most powerful characteristic of power is its extension—it will extend as far as it encounters boundaries. Therefore, the most sensible approach to power is to set boundaries for it in advance. Yang Ping, a famous host on CCTV, says that power is the manifestation of responsibility. The greater the power, the heavier the responsibility. The size of company power depends on the degree to which the interests and moral responsibilities are addressed during the process. This book has also attracted the attention of some domestic management experts, including Yu Shiwei and Zeng Shiqiang. Zeng Shiqiang, a renowned Chinese management master, highly evaluates the value of this book from the perspective of the "way of power and authority." He believes that management is the art of calming people. Regardless of the environment, the purpose of calming people remains unchanged, which is called "constancy"; the methods of calming people must change, which is called "transformation." Leaders who hold power and engage in management must remember that there must be both constancy and transformation. Company Power offers insightful discussions on the practical application of the "way of power and authority," which are highly meaningful for Chinese enterprises. Yu Shiwei, a renowned execution master, also offers sharp insights. He believes that execution is choosing a person who is both willing and capable to succeed, entrusting them with power. As a leader, one must always be ready to groom a successor for the company, even in cases of retirement, death, or transfer, to prevent the company from collapsing. He thinks that Company Power provides excellent elaborations on delegation and enterprise succession. Wang Zhongqiu, a renowned expert in refined management, has a relatively cautious view of power. He believes that indulging in power in success ultimately makes one just a great dictator. A civilized society needs management experts who use power scientifically. He believes that Company Power can give you some different insights. Some entrepreneurs have also closely followed this book. Entrepreneurs from well-known companies like China Merchants Bank, Ping An Insurance, Fang Tai Kitchen Cabinets, and Kingdee Software have shown varying degrees of attention to this book. Lin Guofang, Chairman of Shenzhen Rich Home Decor Products Co., Ltd., says that as a practical management expert, Li Chaoju has unique insights into the internal management models and service marketing models of private enterprises. Company Power provides a profound analysis of power, which is another contribution to Chinese entrepreneurs. Mao Lixiang, Chairman of Ningbo Fang Tai Kitchenware Co., Ltd., believes that the current power model of Chinese private enterprises is a combination of centralization and decentralization. Modern management, from a certain perspective, is the distribution and balance of power. However, all power arrangements must fully benefit the formation of company synergy and enable a strong, comprehensive competitive advantage that surpasses rivals! Understanding company power is the key to effectively using company power. Understanding company power is the key to executing company power. Regardless of how, company power is an issue that Chinese enterprises cannot avoid and must face. It may become the next hot and difficult topic. I believe that this exploration of company power, as Liu Donghua, Editor-in-Chief of China Entrepreneurs Magazine, said, "This is a valuable exploration, and I hope this exploration can play a unique and irreplaceable role in the true growth of Chinese enterprises and entrepreneurs."
