In today's age of cluttered information, "patriotism" seems to have become a business in some cases. There are many phenomena that deserve our deep thought around some companies, Internet celebrities and other groups. Today we will talk about the stories behind companies such as Douyin, Lenovo, and Wahaha and some of the problems reflected from them.
Working in self-media is sometimes a very helpless thing. Just like when certain events are in the spotlight, most self-media influencers choose to protect themselves and dare not stand up and speak out, because once the public's emotions are hardened, it is often thankless and may even cause them to lose fans. Like me I also lost thousands of followers for no reason because I supported TIKTOK and Lenovo and was seen liking related content. However, some so-called "patriotic Vs" regard this as a business. They record some content, use public opinion, and spread some views that lack rationality and common sense. They completely ignore the real business logic behind it and bully the public who don’t understand business. The universe inside.
Many people attribute the unsatisfactory development of China's chips to Liu Chuanzhi's expulsion of Ni Guangnan, thinking this is a major stain on Lenovo. But in fact, Lenovo is not a chip company, and it makes no sense to force it to make chips. Some disputes between company founders are normal in the business world, as was the case when Steve Jobs was fired from his company. And historically speaking, for example, when China's first generation of companies made their fortunes and state-owned enterprises were transformed into private enterprises, Lenovo was actually a relatively clean company.
Now many young people think Liu Chuanzhi is like a gang boss. That's because they don't understand that history. When the group company emerged in 1984, the operating environment was very chaotic. The company law has not yet been enacted. Many companies don’t know how to do it, to what extent, and what the rights and interests of shareholders are. When disputes arise between companies, etc., this situation requires a "big boss" like Liu Chuanzhi to preside over the ruling and solve the problem. Therefore, objectively speaking, Liu Chuanzhi has made huge contributions to China's private enterprises.
TIKTOK is a company that our Chinese technology company has the potential to become the world's top giant. After years of development, it carries the hope of Chinese enterprises from starting a business with no future to gradually doing better and better and moving to the international stage. If it could successfully go global back then, perhaps it would be the most valuable Internet company in the world now. Even though its limelight is now snatched away by AI, its exploration value cannot be ignored, and it has accumulated valuable information for our country's subsequent overseas enterprises. Experience, such as how to comply with regulations when going abroad, how to deal with problems, how to handle litigation, etc.
However, its journey to sea was not smooth. In order to develop in the United States, it made very significant concessions to the United States. In order to express his position at the hearing, Zhou Shouzi was even forced to say some words that were difficult for many people in China to accept. Now it is suing in the United States. Despite strong legal teams, litigation can drag on for a long time. Regardless of the outcome, it is destined to become a classic case that will go down in history. At the same time, many people have misunderstandings about setting up companies overseas. In fact, this is because Chinese Internet companies must follow overseas market rules when going overseas. Real-name registration, registration and other requirements cannot be implemented overseas, so overseas companies must register, and the supervision of data and other aspects are also different, which is a helpless move.
Wahaha is also one of the focuses of everyone's attention. Some people on the Internet are talking about the water from Nongfu Spring, but I will not comment on this matter for the time being. For example, after Wahaha’s eldest daughter Zong Fuli resigned as CEO, a large number of comments about bullying orphans and widowed mothers appeared on the Internet, making complex high-level changes in such a large company like playing house. Regardless of whether it complies with the company's articles of association, whether there is factional fighting, personal abilities and other professional aspects, the public just eats this simple and one-sided story. Moreover, if you look at old companies like Wahaha, many of them were developed by families and still retain some traces of the past "Big Brother Era". They even involve green cards for entrepreneurs, profit transfer, and many other complex and controversial issues. question, but just like the green card issue, if people apply legally and pay taxes according to the law, there doesn't seem to be a need to go into too much detail. After all, everyone has their own choice.
In short, behind these corporate stories, we see the chaos of patriotism being treated as a business, the one-sided public perception, and the complex situation faced by corporate development. I hope everyone can look at these things more rationally and objectively. You are welcome to share your views in the comment area.
