Liu Chuanzhi is a legend of starting a business.

The significance of this legend is not only that he has led the association of small companies with 11 yuan and 200 thousand yuan to grow into the largest computer company in China, but more importantly, his legend is an inspiration for many young people who aspire to start their own business.

This legend allows every entrepreneurial youth to have such a hope: "if I work hard enough, I will be able to succeed as Liu Chuanzhi did."

Liu Chuanzhi told his young people with his own experience that there are not many essential elements to succeed in starting a business.

The Fifteenth National Congress of the CPC encourages the coexistence of multiple ownership systems, and makes Liu Chuanzhi optimistic: "there will be a large number of entrepreneurs in the coming period, because the difficulty of entrepreneurship is greatly reduced."

40 Entrepreneurship

Liu Chuanzhi embarked on the road of entrepreneurship because he was "unable to hold back".

As for failing to think of failure, Liu Chuanzhi said, "at that time, the situation was the worst. How could it be worse?

Lofty idea {page_break}

In 1984, "two links and two seas" have been standing in Zhongguancun, and Liu Chuanzhi's name is just like the names of many small business owners in Zhongguancun today.

But 14 years later, Liu Chuanzhi became a major event. Lenovo became the symbol of the national computer industry.

But the hero who laughed at the old age was swept away by the rain.

Liu Chuanzhi attributed this sharp contrast to whether he was ambitious at the beginning of his career.

If you have a high conception, you can make a strategy, and you can do it step by step according to your intention.

The idea is low, it can only be done by doing what it looks like.

At that time, there were three typical ways to do business: one was approval; two was parity foreign exchange; three was smuggling.

After getting the approval, a XT machine can sell for more than 40 thousand yuan.

"And we don't want to do that.

In 1987 and 1988, there was a discussion at the top of the company.

Our office director wants our company to be a member of the company. There are a lot of small companies under the head office. Each company imports and exports independently. Although every company is doing repetitive things, every company makes money.

I did not emphasize the "big ship structure" at that time. At that time, the "big ship structure" was proposed to oppose "boat drift."

Liu Chuanzhi has a metaphor for his conception: "the old lady who sells the pie at the Beidaihe Railway Station is analyzing a customer who is a guest. Therefore, she makes the pie very smooth, and there is no filling in it.

And Sheng Xifu shoe hat shop is a repeat customer, so his shoes should be done properly.

Liu Chuanzhi believes that the same selling pie can also have a very high selling method, for example, by selling pie, open chain stores.

Leader

Leaders who rely solely on authority to exert influence on their subordinates will eventually become the past.

True leadership will correspond to a group of willing followers.

Without the leadership of the followers, except for the stately shell of the post and the mistakes made by the drivers, what is left is to hang others' appetite with one duty.

It is undeniable that a single official position can attract many followers, but this belongs to the trickery category in the bureaucratic mechanism and is not included in the corporate leadership behavior we are discussing.

Establishing leadership is actually fighting for followers.

Liu Chuanzhi's way of fighting for followers is simple: trust his subordinates.

Liu Chuanzhi's ability lies in the fact that there is always a way to convince subordinates that following Liu Chuanzhi, Lenovo will succeed.

The word "Xin" is very important.

"Faith" will only be answered with unity, and be united and enterprising: "faith" will remain unswerving and go forward bravely: "faith" will only prohibit and obey the overall situation.

Leaders have two key steps to win followers: one is to make followers believe that events that will be fought for them are meaningful; two, to convince followers that this leader can lead them to accomplish this task.

Modern leadership theory holds that leadership is a process with time, not a lifetime one.

It means that leadership is the leader of an event, and when this event is completed, the leadership behavior ends.

After that, if you still want to be a leader, then you must reclaim followers for the next incident.

Liu Chuanzhi has been in charge of Lenovo printing for 14 years, and he has a lofty aim and always has direct connection with Lenovo's new development goals.

Because the followers of Liu Chuanzhi and Liu Chuanzhi always believe that the great cause of Lenovo has not yet been completed, so Liu Chuanzhi's leadership will not end.

Liu Chuanzhi emphasized his intention, because he knew that in the course of the development of the company, he would surely encounter various difficulties. Only when he had high conception could he firmly bear in mind that the goals he pursued did not relax, and then he could motivate himself to keep moving. Secondly, if the idea was not high enough, he must constantly put forward new and higher goals. Then, a little success would be easily met. Third, with a high sense of purpose, it would naturally understand what the ultimate goal was, not eager for quick success and instant benefit, and no concern for personal gains or losses.

Take a look at Liu Chuanzhi's latest idea: "3 billion dollars in 2000, I am confident that this is like making a military order.

The goal of $10 billion is just a dim goal. I have not told it to me today, because from 3 billion US dollars to $10 billion, what a great leap? What changes have taken place in the world computer industry since 2000?

In addition, after 10 billion, is it not enough to enter the top 500? Is that the threshold? "These are unknown, but we are heading for the top 500. We must go to the top 500 goals in the world. Maybe we can not achieve them in our hands, but we must not achieve them in the hands of Yang Yuanqing and Guo Wei.

"In the aspect of R&D, we need to push forward to the core technology. My approach is to widen the surface, to break the technology down, and to go up to the base one step at a time, instead of setting up a pole. It's very tall. The wind is blowing. The pole has fallen. We've already eaten the loss. When we did the printer, we did it to a certain model of HP. After finishing it, the new HP model was pushed out, and immediately hit you here. But if you have a strong R&D foresight and a good manufacturing base and sales base, things will be much better."
