Savage Growth
As a co-founder of Wantong Group, Feng Lun pulls back the curtain on the wild, unregulated rise of China’s private sector since reform and opening up. In *Savage Growth*, he shares hard-won lessons from navigating crisis—from the heated "original sin" debate over early private enterprise legitimacy to the messy, necessary evolution of partner dynamics (like his own split with Pan Shiyi). He breaks down the tricky dance of government-business relations, contrasts successful leaders like Wang Shi (who prioritized systems over personal gain) with cautionary tales like Mu Zhongzhong, and dives into investment wisdom, corporate governance, and even life’s big questions: balancing desire and happiness, facing mortality, and building businesses that outlast their founders. Packed with real-world anecdotes and sharp insights, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to understand China’s business landscape or build resilient, ethical enterprises.
