Successful people entrepreneurial short story aIn 1987, 43-year-old Ren Zhengfei capitalized 21,000 yuan, founded Huawei in Shenzhen; the following year, Ren Zhengfei became president of Huawei. The following year, Ren Zhengfei became the president of Huawei. During the following 28 years, Ren Zhengfei led Huawei to create business miracles by virtue of the spirit of continuous innovation and entrepreneurship, and stepped out of China and into the world. Today, Huawei has grown steadily from a private company based in Shenzhen, China, to a Fortune 500 company with annual sales of more than RMB 288 billion. Huawei's telecommunications network equipment, IT equipment and solutions, and smart terminals are used in more than 170 countries and regions around the world.
As the founder of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei has become one of China's outstanding entrepreneurs, and has twice appeared on Time Magazine's list of the world's 100 most influential people ...... Time Magazine had this to say about him: "Ren Zhengfei is a tough guy who fights for ideas. "
Entrepreneurs over the age of
There is a saying that "25 to 35 years old for the best period of entrepreneurship, 40 years old has been quite late, after 40 years old is the exception of the exception." The implication is that the younger a person is when they start a business, the more opportunities they have to try and the more drive and strength they have. In contrast, Ren Zhengfei's success is more like the exception of the exception: when he started his business, he was already 43 years old. 43 years old from scratch, how easy it is?
But even at this age, Ren Zhengfei still maintains the youthful impetus and sharpness. Soon after the founding of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei decided to take the road of independent innovation. in September 1991, Huawei rented the third floor of the industrial building in Oyster Village, Bao'an County, Shenzhen, as the development of program-controlled switches, more than 50 young employees followed Ren Zhengfei to start the road of entrepreneurship is full of difficulties and unknown. Although the environment was hard, but we were full of confidence in the future. With the courage to go forward, Ren Zhengfei almost every day to the scene to check the production and development progress, meetings to study the difficulties faced, and division of labor to coordinate the solution of various problems.
Ren Zhengfei used this spirit to make up for the company's extreme shortage of material disadvantages, so that we all work together for a better tomorrow. 10 years later, Huawei's annual sales have reached more than 20 billion yuan, and the company's headquarters moved to the Huawei Industrial Park in Bantian, Longgang, Shenzhen. Huawei has survived the hard years of entrepreneurship.
"Assuming" future thinkers
Over the past 30 years, Huawei has maintained a rapid pace of development, creating a variety of eye-popping business myths, and leaving behind rivals with long histories and strong financial and technological strengths. Huawei can achieve such achievements today, Ren Zhengfei played an important leading and decisive role.
It is an ever-present sense of crisis, quietly leading this huge communications empire through the thorns. Huawei internal Ren Zhengfei from time to time rumors "pour cold water" voice, for example, "Huawei did not succeed, just growing" "Huawei's winter", and even asked employees to insist on their own, Criticism of today and tomorrow, as well as the critique of the critique and so on.
"This is not crisis awareness, this is assumption, assuming the future direction. We are assuming a crisis to compare Huawei, not creating a panic crisis." Ren Zhengfei has humorously claimed that his greatest power in Huawei is the power of thought, and the role of the thinker is to assume. He further elaborated on the importance of assumptions in thought: "Only with the right assumptions, there is the right idea; only with the right idea, there is the right direction; only with the right direction, there is the right theory; only with the right theory, there is the right strategy ...... "The assumption of this sense of worry, so that Huawei employees to guard against arrogance, struggle.
At the same time, Huawei do anything, are customer-centered, go all out, and even disregard for personal safety and security - for fear of not doing a good job so that customers have a sense of dissatisfaction. This ideology is the very source of Huawei's sustainable development. "As far as our thoughts go, we can go as far as we want." This advertising slogan invariably makes the best footnote for Huawei's sustained high growth.
"Huawei's pursuit is to realize customers' dreams in the field of electronic information, and rely on the bit by bit, perseverance and painstaking pursuit, so that we can become a world-class leading enterprise ...... through the market pressure transfer, so that the internal mechanism is always in a state of activation. " Huawei has not only exported high-quality products, industry standards and advanced management systems, but also ideas. In fact, Ren Zhengfei's corporate philosophy has had a wide impact in the Chinese business community and even in other fields.
Ren Zhengfei said that Huawei needs a group of commanding figures in all aspects, a group of strategists in management, R&D and other fields, and a group of thinkers who look up to the stars and assume the future.
Strategists with a global perspective
This is an era of the Internet. Nowadays, the Internet is subverting the traditional business model with its timeless and ubiquitous information communication, exchanges, and massive information resource transmission, presentation, mining and **** enjoyment, and causing great influence and impact on more and more industries. Internet thinking began to prevail, and even subvert and surpass the previous industrial science management mode.
In October 2015, Ren Zhengfei received an exclusive interview with Forbes magazine, talking about his views on Chinese innovation, "Internet +", "Industry 4.0" and other hot topics. Ren Zhengfei believes that the Internet is just a tool, and our purpose is to develop industry and solve the problems of people's survival and happiness. Industry is the foundation of employment and social stability. In the middle of this, the protection of intellectual property rights is crucial for innovation. Therefore, our country has to step through industrialization before we can do so. On the other hand, cloud computing is destroying the traditional IT industry based on selling products and services, including software, hardware, network equipment and traditional IT service vendors. The disruptive nature of cloud computing has the potential to be the biggest revolution the IT industry has ever seen.
In the face of such a situation and challenges, Ren Zhengfei put forward a forward-looking understanding of cloud computing and big data, and blew a firm charge. "The current demand for cloud services from 4K/2K/4G and corporate governments has created a strategic opportunity for networks and data centers. This is our major window of opportunity, and we must dare to gather strength, invest intensively, and saturate the attack during the period when this strategic window of opportunity opens. Pounce on it, tear it apart, go deep and expand horizontally. Our strategic purpose is to make the pipeline platform bigger and stronger at a high level." On January 13, 2016, Ren Zhengfei said at Huawei's market work conference.
Ren Zhengfei took "deep development, horizontal expansion" as the core, and analyzed how Huawei is based on the main channel, gathered energy on the identified strategic opportunities, and rapidly expanded. He proposed that the terminal business should surpass the sales revenue of 100 billion US dollars in five years; the enterprise business should seize the successful parts, and develop vertically before expanding horizontally. Smart cities, IT in the financial industry is transforming to cloud architecture, the power industry is turning to digitalization, and the government and enterprises are expanding their demand for cloud services, all of which are important strategic opportunities. Huawei should dare to play with the tech giants of big data and cloud computing in order to usher in a new historical turn and achieve better development.
In recent years, Huawei has stepped into its most brilliant period ever by advancing in all three aspects of its carrier business, terminal business, and enterprise business. However, for Huawei, the biggest variable, but also more strategic and disruptive, or cloud computing technology, which is related to Huawei's foundation as well as the future life and death. This time, Ren Zhengfei once again showed high enthusiasm for innovation and entrepreneurship, to the world level of high-tech impact.
"The future will be a fully connected world." This is the belief that Huawei, under the leadership of Ren Zhengfei, has been striving for. over the past 20 years, Huawei has seized the historical opportunities brought about by China's reform and opening up and the rapid development of the ICT industry, and has won the respect and trust of its customers by continuing to innovate based on their needs. Huawei adheres to a focused strategy, investing in R&D in areas such as telecommunications infrastructure networks, cloud data centers, and smart terminals, and driving innovation based on customer needs and cutting-edge technologies, so that the company is always at the forefront of the industry and leads its development. Huawei has taken the lead in building an efficient and integrated digital logistics system, promoting the comprehensive interconnection and intermingling of people and people, people and things, and things and things, and promoting industry and social progress.
Successful entrepreneurial short story twoMay 18, 2014, the courier giant SF Express has officially opened in the country called "Heyk" convenience stores, the first batch of ****518, thus a big push into the domestic hot O2O market, this model will have a greater impact on the domestic pattern of e-commerce, but also directly affect our daily life. This model will have a greater impact on the domestic e-commerce pattern, and will also directly affect our daily life.
The first batch of SF "Heyk" opened a total of 518, in addition to Qinghai, Tibet, in the country's provinces and autonomous regions are covered. "Heyk" convenience stores, in addition to providing express logistics business, virtual shopping, but also with ATM, cold chain logistics, group-buying pre-sale, fitting room, laundry, home appliance repair and other businesses.
Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar stores, SF's "Heyk" store posters, QR code wall to place virtual goods, customers can scan the QR code to choose from a wide range of services, the model is very similar to the largest O2O e-commerce company in the United Kingdom, Argos. "In addition to the samples to try on and try out, there is no inventory in the store, which greatly saves costs and is expected to have an impact on the physical stores of many industries.
The business world is fierce and brutal, but the ever-changing moves, it has been impossible for people not to recognize the low-profile Wang Wei - the mysterious head of SF Express. Wang Wei entrepreneurial 18 years did not accept any interviews, but all the people are looking for him; he is low-profile and not publicity, but made the Hong Kong paparazzi undercover for several months to see the real face. He does not introduce strategic investment, but it makes Citibank offer 10 million U.S. dollars in intermediary costs just to get a chance to cooperate.
Shunfeng does not plan to go public, but many PE and VCs are rushing to get 500,000 yuan just to have a dinner with its head, Wang Wei***. Shunfeng has kept a distance from e-commerce, but Wang Wei has made Jack Ma twice and called the most admired person. SF Express is the second largest express delivery company in China after EMS. Wang Wei is the creation of this "express kingdom" of the head. In the current contradictions between e-commerce and logistics, some people say: give you 3 years 3 billion dollars, you can not smash a new. SF.
Wang Wei, in the eyes of outsiders seems too mysterious. "At one point, the leadership of the State Post Bureau have handed a message, he still politely refused." An industry newspaper editor-in-chief said. Even Shunfeng's internal publication "communication" published seven years, has never appeared the face of the head. "There have been a few times when a photo of Wang Wei has been published, but they are all back or extremely blurry side photos."
So far, Wang Wei has appeared in the media only once. In what looks like a dramatic experience, in the spring of 2010, Wang Wei paid HK$350 million for a plot of land on La Salle Road in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong, to build two four-story detached houses with their own swimming pools. The sale, which broke the record for real estate prices in the same district, caught the attention of a reporter from Hong Kong's Next Magazine.
Dedicated paparazzi not only guarded Wang Wei for several days in front of the office building of SF's Shenzhen headquarters, but also mixed into SF's Hong Kong branch, and did a whole day of courier, and finally photographed Wang Wei's photo, the article was published under the title of "The Waterboys Do Buy a Houseboy, Buy a 757 Airplane". Now, the Internet is still able to search the article, but Wang Wei's photo can no longer be found.
It's not just the media that are looking for Wang Wei; investment bank managers are looking for him, too. They weren't just looking for gossip or curiosity, but they clearly smelled the money. As early as 2004, FedEx planning to enter the Chinese market had contacted Wang Wei. Rumor has it that FedEx wanted to buy SF for 4 to 5 billion yuan, but Wang Wei refused. That year, Shunfeng's sales were 1.3 billion RMB.
In 1993, Wang Wei was only 22 years old, and the Shanghai man with only a high school education was initially doing printing and dyeing in Shunde, when the Pearl River Delta region often needed goods from Hong Kong. Seeing this business opportunity, Wang Wei did the dock to take the goods of the "courier". The more opportunities, the birth of SF.
The original capital is Wang Wei borrowed 100,000 yuan from his father, Wang Wei used this money to rent a place of several hundred square meters as a company in Hong Kong Prince Lang Street. In the market demand, soon Shunfeng to Shunde as a starting point, will extend their tentacles to all parts of Guangdong, in cooperation and agency began the "express kingdom" blueprint for expansion.
At the beginning of the development of the courier industry, the expansion of the scale, the construction of the network is the essence of all courier companies "occupy the territory". Each build a point, register a new company, the branch belongs to the local franchisee, which makes the SF in a few years time, will be the Pearl River Delta area of the courier market firmly in their own hands. In such a crazy expansion, by 1997, Wang Wei almost monopolized all the express through Hong Kong.
It is reported that 70% of the express cargo trucks traveling on the highway through Hong Kong belonged to the business of SF. At the time of the return of Hong Kong, the Customs and Excise Department even politely refused the request of the state-owned China Railway to come and get a share of the pie. At this time Wang Wei, but 26 years old.
Wang Wei believes in Buddhism, there are six statues of Buddha in his office, and even his business management is permeated with Buddhist theories. But he is like a paradox incarnate, in enjoying the peace brought by Buddhism, off-road vehicles and extreme cycling DOWNHILL is also his favorite.
Such an adventurous character is also evident in the course of his founding of SF, which began to explode strongly in 1998 after setting the goal of differentiated management, but this uncontrollable development model brought fatal trouble to this growing company. Wang Wei once mentioned, "A contracted outlet is a small kingdom, and it is very stressful to root out these problems."
Some of SF's franchisees took the liberty of carrying private cargo in their shipments without authorization, and Wang Wei, who had lost control of the business, began a vigorous collection of power from 1999. There are rumors that Wang Wei was once hunted down by the Hong Kong community as a result. Until now, if someone is lucky enough to meet Wang Wei, he will find that the middle-aged man wearing extremely ordinary clothes often has 4-6 pugilists around him. 2002, Wang Wei collected power successfully, SF smoothly from the franchise system to direct system, and set up a corporate headquarters in Shenzhen.
Coincidentally, in 2003, for the future Shunfeng Jiangshan to lay the position of the opportunity to appear. This year, "SARS" ravaged, Wang Wei will aim at the "SARS" and plunged into the trough of China's aviation sector, and the Yangtze River Express Airline signed an agreement of five chartered aircraft, the first express delivery industry to the sky, and completed the national more than 200 outlets It was the first to take the express industry to the sky and completed the layout of more than 200 outlets nationwide, entering the period of the most rapid development. About 20 years of development, direct mode, high-end positioning and air transportation, became the success of SF troika.
Until the last few years, SF chairman Wang Wei only in the media auspicious interviews to reveal some clues, Wang Wei has a paragraph of the most well-known words, said: "I believe in Buddhism, I think, people's achievements and ability is not related to the achievement is related to the blessing, so there is no money is no great, have the ability to have nothing remarkable, to earn the money just just karma."
"So I don't think it's worthwhile to dramatize some of the achievements in one's career. A lower profile is also good for managing a business, no employees recognize you, so you can go down to the grassroots to understand the most real situation. I think the purpose of doing business is not to make money, I want to make a platform through which I can realize my values and ideals."
"The benefit of going public is nothing more than circling the drain and getting the money needed to develop the business. Shunfeng is also short of money, but Shunfeng can not be listed for the sake of money. After listing, the enterprise becomes a money-making machine, and the daily changes in stock prices move the nerves of the enterprise, which is unfavorable to the management of the enterprise."
"I do business, I want to make the enterprise long-term development, so that a group of people get a dignified life. If you go public, the environment will be different, you have to be responsible for the shareholders, you have to make sure that the stock keeps going up, and profits will become the only purpose of the existence of the enterprise. In this way, the business will become fickle, as fickle as today's society."
"So, as a business owner, you must know what you are going public for. Otherwise, you will fall into the Buddhist saying, 'Vest off the law, trapped by the law', so to speak, Shunfeng is not likely to be listed in the short term, and in the future will not be listed for the sake of listing, in order to circle money."
"Employees are the cause, the enterprise is the effect"
Wang Wei's people-oriented business philosophy has also become widely circulated in the business media recently: "In the process of the company's rapid development, the grass-roots managers of Shunfeng are required to withstand a lot of pressure. This also puts higher requirements on the position. As a qualified grassroots manager, it is important to understand very well the company's values and the employment groups we are dealing with as well as the industry we are in."
"We can't demand that every grassroots manager's managerial talents are innate, and, as the company grows, we can't afford to wait for them to grow slowly, so we have to help them grow as fast as possible from the company level. For example, we are working to make the needs of grassroots management positions clearer, and supporting the setting of the corresponding skills training, and then build packages to pass on to the grassroots managers, including teaching them how to work with ease, how to serve first- and second-line employees and customers, and also to learn how to use our supporting management tools and maximize the value of this knowledge."
"As we get clarity on understanding the needs of each management position, some corresponding certifications and courses will come out. At that time, as long as you have the basic conditions for promotion, you can choose to study the corresponding courses according to your development direction and obtain the relevant management qualifications. After you have achieved the performance required for job development, the company will assess whether you are in line with our values through performance interviews."
"Combining these three aspects and based on an internal secret ballot appraisal will measure whether you meet the requirements of the management position you are applying for. In SF, personal growth is not dependent on relationships, and your own destiny is only in your own hands. Employees are the cause, the enterprise is the effect, and there are employees grow the enterprise can grow, and in the process of employee growth, we also want to do to let the best employees grow the fastest."
