Weng Chunchun, a sleepy college student, woke up in a cold rental house in Shanghai, the magic capital, and there was heavy snow outside the window.
I grabbed two dishes at random and put on my clothes. I came to the workplace-a burning garbage dump in Jiading District, Shanghai.
Network pictures have nothing to do with graphics and text.
Weng Chunchun's job this night is to sort the mountains of garbage.
Yes, no one expected that Weng Chunchun, who had managed thousands of people, was once one of the uncles and aunts who took out the garbage.
Dissatisfied with the way of exam-oriented education and fond of starting a business, Weng Chunchun quickly spent all the college tuition fees prepared by his parents. Because he was afraid to tell his parents, he also wanted to try his job and experience life: Weng Chunchun worked as a security guard, carried dishes, planed garbage and even did all the bottom work in two years.

"Before I stepped out of society, I tasted all kinds of ups and downs and my feelings were warm and cold."
The warmest moment is a bowl of hot tomato and egg noodles sent by my classmate's mother.
The most frustrating moment was being laid off by the restaurant, leaving only a few deposits in my pocket.
However, Weng Chunchun's attitude towards the future is firm and clear. "My ultimate goal is to start a business. All this in the early stage is just experience and learning for me. I am extremely grateful to have such a day in my life. "
This point has never changed in the next few decades of life.

Start a business 3 times and succeed 2 times.
I was hit hard for the last time and returned to the workplace.
Parents in their hometown know nothing about their son's "tossing" time.
After graduation, under the arrangement of his family, Weng Chunchun was pulled to open a mold factory.
No connections, it doesn't matter, with a drive, within two years, Weng Chunchun forcefully made the mold factory realize a six-figure income. But doing things you don't like, even if you make money, you feel sick looking in the mirror every day.
"It's really boring."
After summing up his first venture, Weng Chunchun closed the mold factory and opened an Internet cafe in partnership with friends.

Although Internet cafes also make money, the boring life from beginning to end is not suitable for "tossing" the urn.
"At that time, my two ventures were successful. I thought it was too easy to make money, so I opened a hot pot restaurant. I didn't expect to make a big mistake this time. There was not a guest for a week, and all the money I earned before was lost, so I had to enter the workplace. "
So Weng Chunchun returned to Shanghai.
Standing on the Huangpu River and under the Oriental Pearl Tower again, Weng Chunchun looked at the magnificent scene in front of him, determined and puzzled.

The more you fight in Shanghai, the braver you become.
Become a "star employee" of every enterprise.
"Business failure, debt, 0 years of experience after graduation, fled back to the workplace."
Any of the above is almost a dead end for anyone, and the fact that Weng Chunchun just arrived in Shanghai seems to just confirm this:
I spent two months submitting my resume and went to the recruitment market three times, but found nothing.
Go back to your hometown? Continue to start a business? No money!
Do odd jobs like in college? Can't accumulate any valuable experience!
In order not to return to those dark days, Weng Chunchun was cruel for the first time.
Soon, he locked in a new career direction: IE. I didn't study hard in college for a few days, so I picked up a book on IE engineering and chewed it up. He spent a week preparing for the interview. Finally, I successfully got an offer from a Fortune 500 company and became an IE engineer (industrial engineer, responsible for dispatching management personnel, equipment, production materials, etc. ).
But for such a small white without foundation, the pain of entering the workplace can be imagined.
But he just knocked down, not like a headless fly, but designed a set of learning steps for himself:
First of all, I understand what the core logic and purpose of IE engineers are, and all subsequent studies are carried out around this direction.
Secondly, consult experienced old employees, sum up 32 comprehensive skills that IE engineers need, and then check them one by one according to their current level to check for leaks and fill gaps;
Finally, I feel that I have completely mastered the practical things, and then slowly make up the theoretical knowledge system of IE.
During that time, there was always a copy of the urn in which the lights were turned off at the Spring Station.
Nine months later, Weng Chunchun mastered all the IE skills that it took others three years to master and became the project team leader.
He once tried to "work nearly 15- 18 hours a day for three months in a row, during which he had a total of two days off", and his white hair grew faster than when he started his business.
Why do you spell it like this? Weng Chunchun's answer has not changed. "I'm not here to work for a lifetime. I take every job as my own business. " Death, it's me. "
After IE engineer, Weng Chunchun worked as manufacturing director, production manager and factory director.
At the age of 26, he has managed an electronic production factory with thousands of people.
What others thought impossible happened to him.
"In terms of management, I have also made great efforts to study. Maybe it has something to do with my experience in the military school. To what extent have I reached? As soon as I stepped into the factory with thousands of people at that time, no one dared to make any noise, only the rumbling sound of the machine ... "

Of course, Weng Chunchun is not a management genius, so he has suffered a lot.
For example, in the early stage, I scoffed at the "simple and rude" factory management model and designed a "people-oriented" management system to consider everything for workers. As a result, no one listened to the instructions and his grades plummeted.
Weng Chunchun later summed up the management experience of eight words: Renyi does not lead troops, and Renyi does not take money.
Finally, between "simple and rude" and "people-oriented", he formulated a management system with clear rewards and punishments, managed workers through "48 punishment measures and 6 reward measures", and trained more than 50 on-site cadres for the company.
With successful management experience, Weng Chunchun moved to a high-tech enterprise in Kunshan as the factory director. Soon after, he handed over the beautiful report card of "reducing manpower by one third and doubling production capacity" again.

There are mortgages, car loans, children.
Resolutely change careers, pay half, starting with HR Commissioner.
When I became a factory director and lived a happy life, should the story end here?
If this is the end of the story, it is not a "life without tossing".
"At that time, I felt that I had done a good job in production management, but I still didn't have a deep understanding of human resources management. I want to give it a try. "
This attempt is a cliff-like decline in wages. From the factory director to the HR Commissioner, this gap is not generally large.
At that time, everyone thought Weng Chunchun was crazy. A middle-aged man with a mortgage and a car loan, a wife and children, what is he still doing?
Now it seems that a successful person has a reason for his success.
"The salary is only temporary, and I am confident to earn it back in the shortest time."
So, this time, it really took him only 26 months to become the overall head of HR of the listed group from HR Commissioner.

"When I was HR, the most painful thing was that when I was a factory director, I had the right to have a position. Once I decided what system to implement, I quickly implemented it. However, after doing HR, I found that a small HR Commissioner, no one cares about you at all, and the work is difficult to carry out. "
At this time, Weng Chunchun aimed at the biggest thorny department: promoting the training and performance appraisal program of this department.
At that time, this front-line department had two characteristics: 1. That's Gao Zhen's job, not the boss's leadership; 2. There are many departments, accounting for 70% of the company.
Weng Chunchun is in no hurry. He only does one thing every day: go deep into the first-line workshop of the department. Because it is a job-hopping in the same industry, Weng Chunchun's more than ten years of industry experience has played a role.
"I will pay close attention to some people's production methods, and I probably have a number in my heart. If they really can't finish it, I will remind him in an appropriate way, for example, to try this method is more efficient. "
More times, employees began to gradually convince the humble HR Commissioner.
After slowly forming word of mouth and tasting the sweetness of efficient work, more and more employees began to have demand and offered training to Weng Chunchun. At this time, Weng Chunchun was also welcome and organized the first training on production efficiency. From a few people, to the pilot department, to the whole company, peer-to-peer work coverage is implemented.
"In fact, there are a large number of Tatars, which looks very dangerous and makes you dare not move. But there is also an advantage, that is, a team with a large number of people will have internal contradictions and will definitely be divided into several small teams. You find out the situation of these small teams, and then find a suitable starting point, preferably related to interests, and the work will be much better. "
By the time he left, Weng Chunchun was already the head of the group's human resources.

I never consider myself a migrant worker.
The company paid me to study.
Today, Weng Chunchun has reopened his entrepreneurial journey.
This time, it is an internet education company focusing on HR training and counseling.
"To be honest, so far, I have truly realized my own value and initial heart. Looking at HR who grew up with me, I feel very fulfilled. "

Asked about the successful experience of doing things all the time, Weng Chunchun also poured out all without reservation:
"I think the core reason for getting here today is to position yourself. To tell the truth, since I entered the workplace, I have never regarded myself as a small employee. After quickly solving my professional skills, I will think about what the company's money-making model is. If I were the boss, how would I solve this problem and how would I manage these people? "
"One of the benefits of the workplace is that the boss pays you to try and make mistakes. Successful experience is your own. In case of failure, there is a company behind it. So now many HR complain about the environment and the boss doesn't exist in my eyes. On the contrary, I will thank every boss of every platform I meet. "
In addition, Weng Chunchun has several ideas to share with you:
1. Take the beginning as the end, make clear where your destination is, and then disassemble it step by step;
2. Be rational and objectively analyze the advantages and disadvantages of one thing. Emotion will only affect your judgment;
3. Be cautious and be risk-conscious. Personally, I don't think I will start something unless I am 80% sure.
4. Pay attention to the results and data. Data is the most intuitive measure, telling you where the gap is with others. Find the gap and make up for it.
In modern society, the appearance of too much information and temptation is easy to distract attention.
"Know how to focus, slow is fast." Go further than others.
In the early hours of the morning, the author's mobile phone is ringing. Pick it up and see, it is the picture that Weng Chunchun promised to send before.
"Sorry, the meeting and work are scheduled for 23:00. I hope I'm not disturbing you. "
Reliable, hardworking and responsible, Chunchun, a middle-aged entrepreneur, still maintains the blood and toss of the year.
It seems to be Weng Chunchun who gave himself the pen name "Uncle Weng Chunchun" in San Mao. Com, I am not confused today, and my life has gone far enough. ......
