Yang Lei: Once Dreamed Of Becoming Prime Minister (Top)

By the time of 1997, I heard that a business of about 10000000 dollars was made in my hands.

But at that time, I had never been to the company headquarters. I didn't see what the machine was like. I only had two product introductions.

Yang Lei, a 6 year old man, began to read the thread bound book. He has long remembered the motto of "do not benefit the small but not the small, but not the small ones."

The market of the once sinking ship, under the leadership of Yang Lei, has doubled 25 times. The company's staff expanded from the earliest 70 people to more than 500 today, becoming the first company in China to rely on unlimited value added concept to land on NASDAQ.

The latest financial report shows that the turnover in palm first year was $9 million 400 thousand, an increase of 4.4 times compared with the same period last year, an increase of 41% over the previous quarter.

1988 sold its first pot of gold. In the year of 1988, Zhongguancun just started to rise. Later big companies, such as four links, Lenovo, and Ke Hai, all started at that time.

Yang Lei had a very deep impression on that period. At that time, all of us used 286 and 386486 just now.

One of my classmates called me and said that some of our classmates were going to have a company and asked me if I was interested in chatting.

The 4 of us went to his house.

Everyone was drinking beer while chatting. It was very exciting.

Then the 4 of us started planning our own company, and the main business at that time was computer sales.

Everyone is very excited. It seems that a great revolution is brewing.

There are no formal business books and agreements, and the distribution of interests has not yet been agreed, based on the oral gentleman agreement.

It is agreed that all profits will remain in the company for development after the project is completed.

"Until I went abroad, they were all very well, and they all followed this Agreement without any problems."

In the first list, the company made a turnover of 486 by relying on the relationship. At that time, 486 yuan was 40 thousand yuan, and they made a huge profit.

Later, he received some orders.

Soon, they rented a floor in Zhongguancun, and the company had its own laboratory and testing room.

From selling computers to developing system trade, we can achieve millions of businesses in one year, and the company is growing very fast.

Yang Lei, who became a ten thousand yuan household, bought a pair of NIKE shoes of 130 yuan.

At that time, he was studying postgraduate, and his relationship was only 102 yuan a month.

"When I wore NIKE shoes, I felt like a cow. By the end of the week, I would wear these shoes to look for three other people to play.

In a seafood restaurant near Deshengmen, Beijing, they eat for a few months in a meal. "

At that time, we were so excited that we thought that ten years of money had come back.

Later, a business was hundreds of thousands, but it was strange that I was never excited and never excited about money again.

Yang Lei later went to the United States. Before leaving, Yang Lei spent most of his money at home with only 700 dollars.

At that time, if I persisted, I would be Lenovo's IT predator.

In the United States, the red guards of the Silicon Valley encounter the father of venture capital in the United States. Yang Lei is known as the "Red Guard of Silicon Valley".

Forbes magazine once wrote an article about Yang Lei, titled "gold digger of Hongkong economy".

Later, a senior journalist in the United States wrote a book about Yang Lei's pioneering work in Silicon Valley, entitled "Silicon Valley Red Guards".

In 1995, Yang Lei returned to Beijing to become CEO of STI, a technology company in Boston.

At the beginning of entrepreneurship, Yang Lei tried to save costs.

"I live in my sister's house, and suddenly from the beautiful house in America to such a humble environment.

The house is very small. If you enter a bed, there will be little space left for you to set up a bedside cupboard.

The door of the building is full of bicycles, and ninety percent of the bulbs are bad.

When you get home, you have to clear the bike first and then enter the corridor on the first floor.

No light bulb, dark walk, into the house, is also black, especially not accustomed to.

For 8 months, this is life.

In the past 8 months, he has been running his business constantly.

In eighth months, he received his first business.

The next step is more smoothly.

"I joined the company in Hongkong and my headquarters in Boston, America. By 1997, I heard that about 10000000 dollars of business was made in my hands.

But at that time, I had never been to the headquarters of the company. I didn't see what the machine was like. I only had two product introductions.

Yang Lei, the second time returned to the United States, made a long-term plan for himself.

"First, I want to enter the industry.

At that time, I wanted to get into YAHOO. If I could get into YAHOO, I wouldn't have paid my salary.

I believe that after half a year, the company will know that I am the best; if I can bring YAHOO China back, I am sure I can do very well.

If I can't get in this line, I will invest in others' companies and make venture capital. The last resort is to run.COM company myself.

One day, Yang Lei was inspired by the idea of Internet intelligence when he took a bath, which was to help enterprises understand the development of the whole industry, especially the trend of their competitors.

So he found three like-minded people and quickly set up a company called RIVAL WATCH.

Soon after, Mr. Yang was lucky to meet Arthur Roque, a great figure in his career, the father of venture capital in the United States.

Arthur Roque is a legend. The venture capital system in the United States was built by him in the 60s and 70s of last century.

"He was the first one to throw apples.

He told me more than once that he has founded 500 companies in his life, all of which are very successful, and many of them are in the fortune 100.

It is said that this person has the skill of "turning stones into gold".

Everything he invested in was unsuccessful.

I am very fond of challenge, and the more it seems to be, the more powerful this person is, and the more I will be. "

Yang Lei, Yang Lei, got the great help from the "golden finger". In the past 4 years, the company's business has been flourishing. In addition, Yang Lei has gained popularity in the Chinese circles. He was elected vice president of the Tsinghua University Alumni Association of the west coast of the United States.

At the end of 2002, when Hu Jintao, vice president of the state, visited the United States, Yang Lei was invited to lunch with Hu Jintao. Two Tsinghua alumni talked very happily.

Although Yang Lei has achieved success in the United States, he always cherished the "Chinese complex" and was always concerned about the development of China, especially Shanghai.

So when he was inviting him to join the Shanghai based foreign investment company, he decided decisively to fly to Shanghai alone in two weeks.

In March 2003, Yang Lei officially took charge of CEO.
