Robin Li'S 20 - 30 - 40 Entrepreneurial Theory

How to work from the workplace

In 2004, Baidu search traffic surpassed Google for the first time in China, and since then in China.

Baidu, a China Internet Corporation founded only 11 years ago, has become the focus of global attention under the leadership of Robin Li.

Robin Li, the 42 year old founder, is currently working on Baidu's Evergreen career and a blueprint for the world.

Many people may have seen the success story of Microsoft founder Bill Gate. They have read the legend of apple CEO Steve Jobs, but do not know the story of Baidu CEO Robin Li.

"Robin Li is an outstanding representative of young entrepreneurs in China today. Baidu is playing a big role in the field of high technology, and it is very helpful to Chinese national enterprises."

Liu Chuanzhi commented on Robin Li.

Copying Robin Li's formula for success is obviously unrealistic for most people, but people still want to be inspired by his brilliant career and entrepreneurial story.

20 years old, doing things that you like and are good at.

More than 20 year old young people, after graduating from university to work in enterprises, is almost the career path of most people.

Robin Li's age of 20 is quite similar to that of many people who are 20 years old.

The only difference is that Robin Li has chosen what he likes and is good at, and has become an expert in this field.

Most of the Chinese students who studied in the United States in 90s were reading a Ph.D. degree.

After reading a doctorate, I can go back to my research and teach in a university.

This is a good choice for many people.

But Robin Li, a computer department at the State University of New York, buffalo, chose a way contrary to most people: after gaining the qualification of a doctor, he gave up the chance and chose to enter the enterprise directly.

Robin Li's first job was to do real-time financial information retrieval in Wall Street, which earned Robin Li a high income. He could rent an apartment and buy his own new car when he was only 26 years old.

If you change into other people, you may be satisfied with it. You can live in peace and quiet in the place where Wall Street is full of dollars.

But Robin Li chose to resign shortly afterwards, but he had his own plan.

In Wall Street, Robin Li has made two important discoveries. First, he saw the hot IT business in the stock market, and saw the great potential of Internet companies in IT enterprises. Secondly, he combined with his own page chain retrieval technology, and found it necessary to invent an effective Internet search technology, which is the patent of "super chain analysis technology" applied by Robin Li later in the United States.

Then, at an Internet technology conference in Canada, Robin Li explained his "hyperlink analysis technology" to senior technicians of Mirosoft, Infoseek and other Silicon Valley companies, so that these IT giants could see Robin Li's value.

In the end, Robin Li chose to go to Infoseek, where Infoseek Robin Li was reused, becoming the youngest product manager of Silicon Valley, and getting shares in Infoseek, becoming a millionaire at the age of 30.

From Wall Street to Silicon Valley, Robin Li is the winner in the workplace because Robin Li has never left his favorite and skilled search industry.

This way of choosing his career has made many students who are preparing to take part in the work and the people who are working in the workplace have much to learn from.

To work for hobbies is happiness. Working for work is mechanical and boring.

As long as you find your hobbies and know what you are good at, you will devote yourself to work and create value that others can't create.

When more than 20 year old college graduates and workplace people are worried about finding a job, you might as well calm down and think about your hobbies and skills. Maybe after you think calmly, you will be more confident to face the work, and be more passionate in your work, and finally get the due rewards and sense of accomplishment.

At the age of 30, entrepreneurs should be focused and persistent.

Thirty years of age, for the 80's, it has been on the eve of the beginning of the year, and the time has passed quickly. In the night before the beginning of the year, many people are also on the way to start their own business. What should we do in the beginning of the year? Maybe Robin Li's 30 stand can bring inspiration to many people.

Robin Li, who has become a millionaire, should have stayed in Silicon Valley and entered IT as a senior engineer. However, he chose to leave again at the beginning of 30.

While Robin Li is using Infoseek's Internet search technology to become a millionaire at Silicon Valley, China's Internet is also booming.

Sina, Sohu and other portal websites have been set up, and Sohu Zhang Zhaoyang is also booming in China.

But there is still no decent search engine in China's Internet market, and many people don't even know what the search engine is.

Robin Li saw the opportunity for the development of Internet in China. He should make use of his "hyperlink analysis technology" to do Chinese Internet search in China.

Robin Li resolutely gave up the comfortable life of America and began the road of entrepreneurship. Robin Li was just 31 years old this year.

In 1999, Robin Li returned to China with a $1 million 200 thousand venture capital and a Chinese search dream.

The Internet from 1999 to 2003 is interpreting the carnival before the advent of the Internet bubble. Various forms of Internet such as portals, online games, SP and so on are flourishing in China. The purpose of many Internet Co is simple, in order to get money quickly.

Robin Li was once invested in Baidu to make Baidu wireless value-added services.

Some employees suggested Robin Li play online games, and Robin Li refused.

He always calmly said, "there are still many things to do. We should focus on the Internet search field. I am optimistic about its future growth."

At that time, Robin Li's decision was regarded by many as a "fool" and he did not know how to make money as soon as possible.

However, a few years later, when Chinese Internet users suddenly increased to 300 million, Baidu successfully surpassed Google as the first brand of Chinese search.

Once in the wireless value-added business, the "big guy" who made the best of the day was silent.

Robin Li's focus on Internet search is like insisting on one thing and insisting on Baidu.

In August 5, 2005, Baidu successfully landed on the Nasdaq stock market, issuing a target price of $27, which broke through 150 dollars on the same day, and finally settled at the close of 122.56 U.S. dollars. It became one of the ten largest stocks on the first day of IPO in the US Securities history. Hundreds of employees of Baidu also became "millionaire", and Robin Li was 37 years old.

At the beginning of 30, Robin Li resolutely chose to go back to business, and devoted all his energies to the Internet search industry that he liked and excels in, so he developed the Baidu Inc from 7 to 7000.

Although Robin Li was successful in his early years, there were many elements of "heaven, earth, and people". Many post-80s entrepreneurs might complain that "things are changing now."

But one thing is worth learning for entrepreneurs. That is, time can not tolerate us to continue to hesitate for our own entrepreneurial choices. We should focus on what we have done with our existing entrepreneurial experience, and do what we want to do best.

Perhaps we can not get such a huge success and return of Robin Li, but it is also worthy of our pride and satisfaction.

At the age of 40, business leaders must have a master mentality.

40 no doubt.

At the age of 40, after enjoying the hardships of entrepreneurship, many people have lost the spirit of enterprising spirit. Therefore, many enterprises are hard to get everlasting.

How to make our warships continue to brave the wind and waves? Obviously, heroism will not be staged every day. What we need is the spirit of the captain's superior control.

In Zhongguancun, Baidu has been a late working company in Zhongguancun. Employees in the company next to Baidu building are commuting to work on time.

But at 10 o'clock a.m. in the Baidu Inc, there were still few people in the office.

In the eyes of outsiders, Baidu does not have many companies' strict attendance system for punching cards. How can the loosely managed enterprises achieve 1000 fold growth over the past 10 years?

"Silicon Valley is more open and more realistic because of its youth."

Robin Li summed up the views of the US Silicon Valley.

That is because Robin Li's work experience in Silicon Valley makes him know that improving the efficiency of staff can not rely on simple attendance system. The actual performance indicators and incentive system can inspire employees' enthusiasm more than the boring attendance system.

Today, the characteristics of the "light company" of the Internet have begun to show its superiority, not only in terms of profit margin, but also in the attendance mechanism and incentive mechanism of employees.

When some old enterprises are still using strict attendance system and institutional overtime system to restrict employees, Baidu and other young companies have begun to give employees greater freedom, so they have also been more efficient.

Not only that, Robin Li is also trying to make Baidu a "strong enough" company, as described in the book "sustainable foundation": "whether an enterprise can really succeed can not be affected by individual leaders to leave the enterprise, which requires a comprehensive management mechanism."

From Liu Jianguo to Yu Jun, and from Ye Peng to Li Yinan, Baidu seems to be one of the most frequent Internet Co executives, but this has not affected Baidu's growth.

Baidu climbed all the way from January 2005 to 2006 June. Its share has exceeded 50% in early 2006, but by 2008, its share was 62% and 2009 share 76%.

Baidu's share price also exceeded the US $560 mark in March 15, 2010, which was more than Google10 US dollars.

This is closely related to Robin Li's management thoughts instilled in Baidu.

After successfully leading Baidu on Nasdaq, Robin Li began to manage Baidu with "user needs deciding everything", "company only 30 days from bankruptcy", "listen to the majority of people, consult with a few people, make their own decisions", "break the barriers of departments" and other advanced management ideas, so that Baidu's development is no longer restricted by the retention of a senior executive, and the operation of the whole enterprise is orderly and orderly under the perfect management mechanism.

Today, 42 year old Robin Li has too many auras, and there must be more pressure behind him. His success has also brought many successful revelations to people of different ages.

20 year old young people should choose what they like and be good at as a standard of choosing their careers. This career experience is likely to determine your life.

Entrepreneurs who are 30 years old should concentrate on one thing and insist on doing what they are doing.

At the age of 40, entrepreneurs must still dare to dream, enjoy the fruits of entrepreneurship, and serve as a good captain, establish a mature and effective management mechanism for enterprises, and make long-term plans for the everlasting development of enterprises.
