My 1999

My financial knowledge and experience at that time was not as good as those Ivy League masters and Ph.D.s in finance, but I just felt that I should invest at that time.

So I voted without hesitation.

By the way, let me emphasize it here.

The money I invested was the corporate profits of New Dream at that time. Even if all the money was lost, I still had New Dream that could create new profits for me.

Therefore, when I invest, I can calmly view the rise and fall of stock prices, treat various information on the Internet rationally, and strictly follow my own judgment.

I would also like to advise all friends who like investing.

No matter what the circumstances, no matter how profitable the project you invest is, don’t put all your money on it.

Once this happens, you will become extremely nervous. The impact of the rise and fall of stock prices and various news on the Internet will be multiplied. Unless you are lucky, you will not be able to make money. "

"I hope that the audience friends here can seriously consider Mr. Xu's experience and look at their own investments rationally and calmly."

Ni Ping changed the subject.

"For what reason did you create Hongmeng?"

"Being short on Yahoo was successful, and when the Nasdaq crisis made the Internet industry howl, I saw an opportunity."

"I remember Mr. Warren Buffett, the American investment guru, said this: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. Is this the same for you?"

“That’s true when it comes to investing. The opportunity I see is not investment but entrepreneurship.

In high school politics textbooks, there is this sentence when talking about ‘development’.

Everything in the world moves forward in waves and spirals.

So after the Internet hit rock bottom, it happened to be preparing for its next rise. I felt at that time that I needed to catch up with this opportunity, so I founded Hongmeng. "

"It seems like you have a very deep understanding of politics."

"Philosophy can help us better understand the world and explore the nature of things."

The 'politics' studied in Chinese junior high schools and high schools is actually a hodgepodge, and philosophy is one of them.

"What you said is very wonderful. Philosophy is indeed a knowledge that we need to pay attention to."

After a pause.

"After Hongmeng was established, its first business seemed to be games. Strictly speaking, this should not be within the scope of the Internet."

After Xu Liang nodded, “When I started a business, my first consideration was profit.

Only by creating profits can we better support the development of the enterprise.

And gaming is the most suitable industry that comes to mind.

Facts also proved that my choice was not wrong. "

The two asked and answered questions, ranging from the acquisition of Jianlibao, to shorting Enron, to oil speculation, and finally talked about soybean speculation.

"What do you think of the criticism being leveled against you online?"

“No matter how ordinary people look at it, there is no problem, because their access to information is very limited and it is easy to be distorted, so whether they scold me or think I am a comprador, it is understandable.

But it is unforgivable that some people in the business world do the same.

Their access to information is much better than ordinary people, and they should know the general contents of the contract signed between Harvest Agriculture and the oil-extracting company.

We did a survey in March.

The high soybean prices have increased the soybean planting area in China by 50% compared with usual, and the international soybean planting area has increased by 30%.

An increase in supply will inevitably cause prices to fall.

So when the four major grain merchants signed supply contracts with domestic oil-pressing companies and specifically stipulated high liquidated damages in the contract, we judged that they wanted to harvest domestic oil-pressing companies and thereby completely control the entire domestic oil-pressing and oil-pressing industry. feed industry.

As a responsible agricultural enterprise, Harvest Agriculture has told all the oil companies about this situation, but except for a few, they prefer to believe foreigners.

Despite this, in order to preserve the vitality of the domestic oil extraction industry, we supply to all domestic oil extraction companies and remind them to buy as much as they need and never keep inventory.

Because soybean prices can fall at any time.

As a result, not only did they not listen to our advice, they also ordered spot soybeans for two or even three months.

Because of this incident, I also received warning emails from the four major grain merchants. "

"real?"

"Of course. I still keep this warning email in my computer." Xu Liang said.

It is said that crying children have milk. Now that he has revealed this matter, the sympathy of the people is secondary. The key is that the higher-ups understand the difficulty of Boss Xu.

We are purely ‘protecting the country’ and are our own people.

I worked hard, but I was threatened by the outside world. If you don't offer some reward, why don't you put obstacles in the development of each of my companies?

"Can I see this email?"

"Of course, no problem. I can send it directly to your email."

After saying this, Xu Liang sighed heavily.

“When I read the story of ‘The Farmer and the Snake’ when I was studying, I always thought the farmer was too stupid, but now I understand that the snake is too poisonous.

I shouldered the pressure from the four major grain merchants and sold them soybeans.

Not only were they ungrateful, they even repaid me with kindness, thinking that I cheated them on soybeans! "

Xu Liang shook his head repeatedly, looking disappointed.

"Sure enough, in the business world, good people can't do anything. I learned a lesson this time."

Ni Ping felt a little panicked. She would not be stupid enough to intervene in this kind of fight between big bosses.

They can't deal with Boss Xu, but they can easily control her.

He quickly changed the topic.

"Mr. Xu, can you share your experience in running a business and investing? I think many people will be very interested."

"No problem at all."

After organizing the language.

“In terms of business operations, there are many professional books and many recognized theories, both abroad and domestically.

Therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all methodology for business operations.

Only what suits you is the best.

As far as I am concerned, there are two main points: knowing people well and assigning them well, and clear rewards and punishments. "

“Your perspective is centered around treating people?”

Xu Liang nodded and said: "The history of China is very clear. To govern a country is to govern people; to govern a company is the same. You lock people up and let them perform their duties. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do poorly, you will be rewarded. If the company is punished, the company will develop well.

Unfortunately, this is a very simple principle, but it is very difficult to do.

Because we know people but not their hearts, while we dare to delegate power, we must also do a good job in supervision.

Only a three-pronged approach can truly run a business well. "

"Is this also true for your Hanhua, Hongmeng, New Dream, and Jianlibao brands?"

"Yes."

"But many people say that the key to your success is financial success. With sufficient capital support, companies such as Hongmeng and New Dream can develop so fast."

"It's barely true to say that my business management ability is indeed not as good as my financial talent."

Ni Ping was a little surprised. Aren't young people arrogant and unwilling to give in easily?

"...But those who think they have better business management capabilities than me don't see how big of a business they run. From this perspective, I am still a little better in all aspects."

Ni Ping: "..."

He took a breath and adjusted his emotions.

"Mr. Xu, the younger generation, especially college students, regard you as an entrepreneurial idol and the godfather of the Internet. What do you think of this?"

“First of all it’s a great honor.

Entrepreneurship icon and Internet godfather are a bit over-rated. I just walked ahead of most people and saw more scenery in the huge garden of the Internet.

Secondly, I am happy to help any college students who have dreams to start a business.

If they lack funds, please contact Hanhua. We have a very professional review team. As long as their projects are truly valuable, they can join Hanhua's entrepreneurial incubators in Beijing, Shanghai, Pengcheng, Singapore or Silicon Valley.

Here they will receive the most professional entrepreneurial guidance and financial support.

Moreover, they also have the opportunity to communicate with other successful entrepreneurs.

I believe that when successful people are together, it is easier for them to create sparks of wisdom. "

Xu Liang took the opportunity to place an advertisement for the Hanhua Venture Capital Department.

"You are now the third richest person on the Forbes list, with a net worth of US$38.9 billion. What do you think your huge wealth means to you?"

"It's responsibility!"

Xu Liang cleared his throat and spoke righteously.

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

"OK.

First of all, I want to emphasize that I don’t like money and I have no interest in money. "

Ni Ping opened his mouth subconsciously, what the hell kind of nonsense is this?

“Rather than money, I prefer the joy of entrepreneurial success.”

Seeing the other party's shocked look, Xu Liang secretly said: "No wonder Jack Ma and Qiang Dong Liu like to pretend to be crazy. It's really fun."

cough…….

After coughing slightly, he continued.

“The money I earn from starting a business is not my money, it’s the society that entrusts me with this part of the money to keep. I think this is the responsibility given to me by this era.

So I have to put it in the hands of someone who needs it more.

Today, now, I am here to officially announce that I will donate 10 billion Huaxia coins to the charity fund I established. "

Ni Ping was shocked and said quickly: "Are you serious?"

"Of course. It is a shame to die with huge wealth. I will donate my family property one after another to contribute to charity around the world."

Xu Liang worked hard to create his own "charitable" persona.

Without this 10 billion donation, Ni Ping would only feel that the young people in front of him were hypocritical.

now?

The level is too high.

"Mr. Xu, your moral character deserves to be respected and learned by people all over the world!"

Seeing the other party's serious look, Xu Liang waved his hand quickly.

"It's serious, it's serious, as long as everyone doesn't think I'm a comprador."

"If you are a comprador, then there will be no good people in the country. Moreover, I think you should use legal weapons to protect your reputation and resolutely crack down on those criminals who spread rumors."

Throwing out 10 billion donations, Xu Liang's favorability with Sister Ni was immediately maxed out.

"Thank you very much for speaking up. We are already doing it."
