[Edit this paragraph] Tang Jun in the three grand battles
Tang Jun did the three most important things during his four years at Shanda, namely listing financing, acquiring Sina, and free strategy. Each of these three is a big deal, and they can be said to be the first in the industry every time. They are Tang Jun's three major battles and the guarantee of Shanda's status as the industry leader.
◆ Listing and Financing
Listing
When Tang Jun joined Shanda, there was no listed company in the domestic online game industry. Relying on Tang Jun's familiarity with Wall Street, Shanda became the first Chinese online game company to go public. Despite facing various unfavorable factors, Shanda still made over 100 million U.S. dollars, and Chen Tianqiao's personal net worth soared to 5 billion yuan.
More importantly, Shanda's successful listing greatly stimulated the development of the industry. By the time Tang Jun stepped down as Shanda's president, there were already 9 domestic online game companies listed on the market, and a total of nearly 20 companies were preparing to go public.
Financing
A major part of Tang Jun's job is to lobby Wall Street, explain the status of the domestic online game industry to investors, and strengthen their investment confidence. This kind of behavior actually benefits the online game industry itself more, so Tang Jun joked many times that he was doing road shows for the entire industry. And his financing performance is also quite mythical. One road show will bring 800 million U.S. dollars to Shanda.
◆ Acquisition of Sina
In the evening of February 18, 2005, Tang Jun came to Chen Tianqiao's office as usual to communicate with him about recent events. At that time, Tang Jun's expression was very solemn. Chen Tianqiao felt something was wrong and asked, Mr. Tang, what happened to you today? Tang Jun said, "Mr. Chen, let's do it tonight." Obviously, Chen Tianqiao hadn't watched as many gangster movies as Tang Jun. He didn't realize what Tang Jun was talking about.
Tang Jun said: "I listened to Sina's financial report conference call this morning. Sina's financial report was very poor, not ordinary. I think Sina will never have such a poor financial report like today in the future. Today, Sina's stock price will definitely plummet, so let's go to the stock market tonight and buy all Sina's stocks." ◆ Free Strategy
Shanda Transformation. Free operation is said to have been inspired by Shi Yuzhu. Chen Tianqiao was poached by Shi Yuzhu to poach a development team, and Shi Yuzhu was robbed of an industrial opportunity by Chen Tianqiao. But this is just a rumor. In fact, Shanda's free strategy is closely related to Tang Jun.
In September 2005, Tang Jun secretly met with several of the largest legendary private server operators in China at the time. Tang Jun asked a lot of questions about the prop-based private server charging model in the room, and asked Shanda if it would be free. It is feasible. It is understood that most private servers have said that Shanda can charge for props because all private servers operate in this way. Everyone knows what happened later. Shanda started a free strategy and cracked down on private servers.

On April 16, Xinhuadu Group announced the appointment of Tang Jun as the company’s CEO and president. In this regard, Tang Jun said: "I just hope to set a benchmark for Chinese professional managers and promote the improvement of China's professional manager system." Since then, China's "star" professional manager Tang Jun has jumped out of the IT field where he has served for more than ten years. Resolutely chose to invest in traditional industries

Its subsidiaries include Zijin Mining, Xinhuadu Shopping Plaza, Fujian Xinhuadu Engineering and Fujian Wuyishan Tourism. A company with business covering tourism, chain stores, mining and other fields. Among them, the most eye-catching is that Zijin Mining, which has been listed on H shares, will be listed this month, and Xinhuadu Shopping Plaza will also be listed on A shares and is expected to be listed within three months.

Tang Jun’s success factors
Huge interpersonal skills An important turning point in Tang Jun’s life occurred in 1997.
He said that he "really relied on interpersonal relationships, but not specifically striving for interpersonal relationships" to stand out from the many candidates at Microsoft and become the "architect" and leader of Microsoft's Shanghai Technology Center.
At that time, there was no Tang Jun on the list of candidates submitted to the selection committee. At that time, although Tang Jun led his department, he had successfully designed, developed and released the Far East version (including the Japanese version and the simplified Chinese version). , Traditional Chinese version and Korean version) Windows NT3.51, NT4.0 and Windows2000, but he is only one of many accomplished senior project managers at Microsoft. But the six-member selection committee, including the then Microsoft Vice President Chasdia, failed to find anyone satisfactory to them among the candidates. At this time, one person on the selection committee recommended Tang Jun, and another person came out to second it. These two Americans had worked with Tang Jun when they were project managers. They had helped each other on many issues. After that, the three people were scattered in the 15 buildings of Microsoft Corporation, each performing their own duties. But during the holidays, Tang Jun would send them emails with simple greetings, such as "Merry Christmas, it was a pleasure working with you in the past, thank you very much." The three of them maintained a good relationship. Unexpectedly, It was this that brought Tang Jun an opportunity.
Tang Jun's classic quotations
"Platform strategy is like setting off firecrackers, which keep going off; relying solely on the support of so-called high-quality products is like setting off firecrackers, which go off once they go off."

"Mr. Chen, let's do it tonight."
----March 2005. One morning Tang Jun listened to Sina's financial report conference call and felt that Sina's stock price would definitely plummet. He suggested that Chen Tianqiao "go to Sina tonight and buy all Sina's stocks."
"Being good at being a good person, doing things well and showing off is a shortcut to promotion"
"Looking back at last year, I'm scared to death"
----January 2007 On the 17th, Tang Jun said. Shanda launched a free online game model at the end of 2005, and the company also experienced a period of downturn. In the past four quarters, Shanda's financial reports have moved from losses to recovery step by step, which provides strong evidence for the free model.

Tang's four great inventions:
Kara OK scoring machine, photo stickers, matching system and Chinese windows.
Tang Jun said about Tang Jun
My philosophy of life is relatively simple. I like to be happy and I do not pursue wealth and glory. Even if I don't have a job now, it doesn't matter to me. I have a house and a car in Shanghai, and I will also have money for food in the future. I will be very happy in this life. Therefore, I will not lose happiness because of the pursuit of fame, status, and money.
My only requirement is to do what I want to do successfully, and I have to be extremely happy in the process of doing it.
I am not an adventurist, I don’t take risks, and I don’t need to take risks.
If everyone judges my performance by the length of my term, then I will definitely try to make my term longer than any previous term. Now that I'm in this position, I'm the best.
