Almost unprepared, he suddenly became a rich man worth nearly one billion dollars. If this happened to you, what would your first reaction be to all your friends present? ! August 5, 2005, this is an ordinary day, but it is a very extraordinary day for Robin Li, president of Baidu Company! On this day, Baidu was listed on NASDAQ. Li Yanhong didn't cry when he looked at the soaring share price of Nasdaq, but when he dialed the mobile phone of Liu Jianguo, the first employee of Baidu and the current vice president of Baidu technology, he only said "We did it", and the two of them burst into tears and finally had to hang up. There are seven other billionaires, 5 1 multimillionaire, and more than 240 multimillionaires of Baidu, all of whom are unprepared. They watched the stock price rise almost crazily, reaching the peak of 155 yuan. To be honest, they don't believe it. Liang Dong, vice president of Baidu, told reporters: "When Robin called to tell us, almost everyone in the office cried, except the aunt who was the cleaner. In fact, Liang Dong just joined Baidu from Phoenix TV, but unexpectedly became one of the eight billionaires. So what does Baidu's success tell us? We have at least summarized the following five inspirations:

First, make a big trend-choose the right industry to make big money, vision is more important than ability, and choice is more important than hard work! Be a man in advance and do things with the trend! In the information age, we should be the leader of the information industry-Internet! In fact, all walks of life are being transformed and revolutionized by the Internet, and social wealth is also being redistributed by the Internet! The rich list in recent years has given us a good inspiration: Ding Lei, the richest man in China in 2003; Chen Tianqiao, the richest man in China in 2004; In 2005, the richest man in China was basically born ahead of schedule. As expected, the richest man in personal assets belongs to Li Yanhong! And most of them are in their thirties, and the struggle time is mostly in just five years!

Second, focus on the goal-Baidu only focuses on Chinese search and never copies Google. Faced with too many temptations, I haven't changed my mind for five years. Feeling: This is a world full of temptations, so this is an era that needs to be focused. Concentration can survive, and concentration can grow rapidly. Temptation makes life suffer in dryness until it fails. This is true for both enterprises and individuals! If Baidu can't stand the temptation of "short messages, online games and advertisements are profitable immediately", it will never be successful today. Now that you have a good reason to choose LOB, you should resist all kinds of temptations and focus on your own goals. Otherwise, nothing will be achieved. There is a saying called "Where there is no will, Chang Zhi, where there is a will, Chang Zhi". This is an era of innovation. Being different is the secret of success. All imitation and plagiarism of others will have no way out, because the internet has the characteristics of winner takes all, only the first one, not the second one.

Third, dare to take risks-dare to break the traditionally recognized "golden rule", emancipate the mind and blaze new trails. Li Yanhong said: "You must have the courage to do what you are looking for, because that's what I want. Many people are smarter than me, but they are working for me because I have more courage than them. " Feeling: Adventure spirit is an essential quality for a successful person. Losers are always afraid of one thousand, so they always give up 9999 chances of success for fear of "failure in case"; Winners are afraid of 10 thousand times, and everyone can do something without any risk, so there is no success!

Fourth, the advantages are outstanding-know yourself and yourself, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. Baidu accounts for two growth factors, one is China and the other is search. Their organic combination is obvious on Baidu.

Feeling: The number of netizens in China is increasing rapidly, and the use of the Internet cannot be separated from search. Users in China need a search engine suitable for China's language and culture, and the demand and integration have made Baidu. And LOB is even more so. Internet is the biggest trend, the demand for distance education is great, and e-commerce is an irreplaceable trend. The future world will be dominated by Chinese and British people, and resource integration is a prominent feature of LOB. The future of LOB can be seen.

5. charisma-Li yanhong likes skiing, swimming and mountain climbing. Stubborn, dedicated, self-confident, firm, always doing things unswervingly. Self-confidence makes him more suitable for developing in the computer field. What he wants most is to influence and change many people's lifestyles through his own technology. Many people will have this idea when they go to Silicon Valley. Pay attention to the long-term when you don't make money. His biggest regret is that he doesn't have much time to spend with his family. His wish after retirement is to travel around the world.

Feelings: courage, concentration, persistence, self-confidence, dedication, doing what you are good at and should do, influencing others with your own ideas and expertise, focusing on the future and dreaming of freedom ... This is Li Yanhong. This is the quality and character of successful people in today's era. Dear friends here, what inspiration did you get after listening to it?

The lessons of Empress Dowager Cixi:

The development of Internet: First, it needs technology; Second, we need a social and political environment.

Example: Empress Dowager Cixi refused to accept the steam engine, which made China fall behind 100. She said it was a monster because she turned her off the chair and pushed the steam engine into the sea. Bill Gates has occupied 90% of the computer operating system market and 40% of the personal computer and notebook computer market, making him the richest man in the world in the past 20 years. We will have more than 90% potential users in China, 80% computer blindness market and 60% global market. The mass internet is a dynamic market and the largest market. Many companies ignore 80% computer illiteracy. Computer literacy is the biggest market and demand. Why? Baidu listed overnight with a market value of $2.5 billion. Google has a market value of $80 billion and so on, because there are only 65438+300 million netizens in China. By 2020, China may grow to 800 million Internet users, and there is huge room for market growth. So how many people use personal websites and distance education now? Our market has more room for growth. The faster the internet horse runs, the less it eats grass, which is contrary to tradition; Changhong lost 3.67 billion last year. Lenovo's purchase of IBM pc is a loan. Internet companies have plenty of money, with hundreds of millions or even billions of liquidity. Chen Tianqiao has a liquidity of $654.38 billion. Yahoo spent $654.38 billion to marry him. ...

Future business opportunities in the marketing field-70 million marketers will reshuffle;

Starting from this year, 70 million marketers will reshuffle in a few years, because e-commerce, B2B and B2C will reshuffle a large number of marketers. Such as insurance, direct selling and traditional business salesmen. Dear wise friends, are you sowing or being sown?

The spring of the Internet has come, and the horn of information war has sounded. In the agricultural era, farmers helped landlords create wealth; Workers in the industrial age help capitalists create wealth; In the information age, netizens, netizens, and internet blindness help online merchants create wealth. You can't be rich without changing your role. Online merchants are your only choice.
