It wasn't until his third year in college that he met a girl who studied optical fiber communications, later Mrs. Tang. With her help, Tang Jun began to work hard to minor in optical fiber communications. A year later, he was admitted to a graduate school in this major. In 1985, Tang Jun traveled east to Japan to study. After staying in Japan for five years, Tang Jun has not made any progress in his studies or career. However, some inadvertent inventions have brought some color to his life. "I like music, I can play several musical instruments, and I also like singing. At that time, karaoke was emerging in Japan. Coincidentally, I studied speech signal processing, and when we put the two aspects together, we designed the 'Karaoke Scoring System.' "Tang Jun applied for a patent for his design, and it was this small patent that was eventually bought by Samsung for $80,000. "The domestic 'Malida' companies are probably still using that technology!" In 1990, Tang Jun went to the United States from Japan to study for a Ph.D. Relying on his first pot of gold from selling software, he established a software company called "Double Eagle" in 1993. Later, he also opened a "Hollywood Film Entertainment Company" and planned "Chinese artists' visits to the United States for performances" many times. Chinese stars Jiang Kun, Hou Yuewen, and Song Zuying have all been there. But small companies can also run into big trouble. Once, Tang Jun spent 20,000 US dollars to hire a lawyer to help artists apply for visas. But when there was only one week left before the performance, the lawyer suddenly informed: "Sorry, they were refused the visa." This made Tang Jun anxious. All the performance tickets were sold and all the venue fees were paid. If If the artist cannot come, he will be compensated US$200,000! This number is enough to bankrupt Tang Jun. Only you can figure it out yourself. Who controls America's destiny? It's some politicians. Tang Jun wrote letters to the senators and congressmen in Los Angeles. He hit the nail on the head of politicians. Politicians were afraid that Tang Jun would hand over the letter to his competitors. At one time, six or seven people wrote back to Tang Jun. Different people put pressure on functional departments such as the White House and the Immigration Service. Finally, before the performance, Tang Jun got the artists' visas. This incident also gave Tang Jun a revelation: What American lawyers failed to accomplish, I did it within a week without spending a penny. I can also open a firm! So, as soon as these artists left, Tang Jun opened an office with a resounding name: The First Immigration Office of the United States. However, the "prominent" corporate name did not bring corresponding business income to Tang Jun. Although he has founded three companies in four years, he has transformed from a poor student into a small boss with a net worth of hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, several small businesses never grew up, and Tang Jun could only live in the United States as a small boss. However, his fate began to take a turn for the better - a "marriage matching machine" he invented in Japan attracted the attention of Microsoft. After receiving two recruitment calls from Microsoft, Tang Jun decided to end his busy and inactive life as a small boss. In 1994, Tang Jun entered Microsoft headquarters and became an ordinary technician. The reason he gave himself was: first study in a large company for two years, and then start his own business in the future. Tang Jun, who has been with Microsoft for ten years, was assigned to the Windows NT development team as a programmer. Like Microsoft's tens of thousands of engineers, he earned an annual salary of tens of thousands of dollars. Tang Jun, who likes to play with a little creativity, brought this good habit to Microsoft. At that time, Microsoft was promoting the Windows operating system globally. Due to different languages ??in different countries, many source codes needed to be rewritten based on the English version. Microsoft formed a development team of more than 300 people for this purpose. Even so, the Chinese version of the product will still have to be delayed for more than half a year after the English version. Tang Jun, who had been working at Microsoft for a few months, secretly decided to change this situation of getting twice the result with half the effort, so he used his spare time to redesign the software architecture at home and wrote tens of thousands of lines of code. After successfully testing it himself, he presented his work to his boss. Three months later, Tang Jun's plan was selected by Microsoft headquarters, and the 300-person translation team was reduced to dozens of people. Tang Jun himself was quickly promoted to development manager after one year after joining Microsoft, and his salary also increased accordingly. Tang Jun said: "Although you are just a programmer, you still have to think about your boss. If you find a problem, it is not enough to raise it with your boss. It is best to conduct your own investigation first and go to your boss with a solution." I believe not. A boss would not like an employee like Tang Jun.At the end of 1997, Microsoft began to set its sights on China. Tang Jun, who was already a senior manager of Microsoft's Windows NT development department, took the initiative to return to China to establish the Greater China Technical Support Center. Three months later, the technical center was operational. Six months later, the technical center's operational indicators have ranked first among Microsoft's five major technical support centers in the world. Therefore, Tang Jun won the "Bill Gates President's Award for Excellence", which is the highest honor within Microsoft. One year later, in July 1999, the China Technical Support Center was officially upgraded to the Asia Technology Center; in October 2001, the Asia Technology Center was upgraded to the Microsoft Global Technology Center. One morning in May 1999, Ms. Wu Shihong, the president of Microsoft China, resigned. Mike Luo, president of Microsoft Asia Pacific, called Tang Jun, then president of Microsoft Asia Technology Center, and asked him if he was interested. Tang Jun replied "no." In March 2002, when the position of Microsoft China president became vacant again, Tang Jun accepted. Tang Jun's performance at Microsoft Shanghai laid a solid foundation for his appointment as president of Microsoft China in 2002. When Tang Jun served as the president of Microsoft China, the report card he handed over was very beautiful: in terms of sales, Microsoft China was the only company in the world that set the highest sales record in history for 6 consecutive months (July 2002 to January 2003). company. In fiscal year 2003 (July 2002 to June 2003), Microsoft China became the branch with the fastest sales growth among Microsoft's 82 branches around the world. However, choosing the right time to leave is also an issue that professional managers cannot avoid. "What I have to do is to be passionate about going to work every day, and I have to find a way that I can best accept." Tang Jun said when he left Microsoft. During his ten years at Microsoft, Tang Jun dedicated his most passionate years to Microsoft. In the past ten years, with his intelligence and hard work, he has grown step by step from an ordinary software engineer to a company president worth tens of millions. When he left Microsoft, he received the honor of being the Honorary Lifetime President of Microsoft China. It was hard to imagine in Shanda's four years that when a professional manager changed jobs, the old and new employers would jointly hold a grand welcome and farewell ceremony. Such a dramatic scene happened to Tang Jun in February 2004. On the day Tang Jun took office, Microsoft Global Vice President Chen Yongzheng and Shanda Chairman Chen Tianqiao both came forward and held a grand "job-hopping ceremony" that everyone was happy with. Such treatment is unique among domestic managers. The special treatment that Tang Jun received after joining Shanda is even more coveted by his fellow professional managers. He owns more than 2.6 million Shanda stock options, with a potential value of hundreds of millions of yuan. I have never seen a migrant worker earn as much as him. However, this money is not easy to get. Tang Jun pushed Shanda to be listed on Nasdaq in 2004, and then Shanda began the difficult transformation from a paid online game platform to a free platform. Throughout 2005, among the Chinese concept stocks on Nasdaq, probably no stock could match the ups and downs experienced by Shanda. The acquisition of Sina was blocked, and Shanda's "box" strategy was frustrated. With the change in online game charging methods, and the impairment of its Korean subsidiary Actoz, Shanda reported a huge loss of US$66.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Shanda's stock price once fell below $13. At that time, Shanda's senior executives resigned one after another, and many companies invited Tang Jun to join, including Google, which promised him the position of president of China. He declined all these invitations. In his words: "My mission at Shanda has not yet been fulfilled." Completed.” In Shanda’s four years, Tang Jun went to Wall Street for road shows three times, and each time he performed a story of doubling the stock price. He proudly called the road show the “Tang Jun Model.”
