The Temptation Of Li Kaifu

He does not consider himself an entrepreneur, but it does not affect his company.

He also does not admit that he is a boss, or even taboo that he is the boss, but this does not deny that he is actually "follow the heart, control himself" boss.

This is the "innovators".

A year ago, he joked, "no one of you can play, but I can not. It seems that the boss is quite strict with his request."

A year later, innovation works from self-cultivation to entrepreneurs.

Li Kaifu has always interpreted his work as a sacred mission, emphasizing the importance of cultivating Whampoa's military academy.

In the workshop, he plays the role of innovative angel, but it does not feed the flowers in the greenhouse.

He often shows people in a symbolic fashion, and entertain guests gracefully in a tailored dress.

For questions, he always shows an attractive expression.

He answered the reporter's question with a clever mind and maintained a cheerful expression.

Passion

"When we come to the innovation factory, what we pursue is passion for work."

Wang Hua, the founder and managing partner of the workshop, said: "a business develops from zero to tens of millions of dollars or great. When you grow older, you find that there is no passion."

Although he thought Li Kaifu had to cultivate early start-up companies in China, it was too difficult.

But "let me continue to be in the early stage of entrepreneurship, work with many entrepreneurs, invest, incubate, help and guide them from 0 to 100, from 100 to 1000.

I enjoy this process. "

This is his motivation to join.

"When I first arrived, I felt excited, though I was in a terrible mess, but I felt warm when I entered."

Li Kaifu, who is now the chief operating officer and partner of many years, looks back at his feelings in the Innovation workshop, which seems to confirm the rumors of "beating chicken blood".

"At that time, I came to have a look, but I was attracted when I looked and talked."

Cai Xueyong from Taiwan, before the Innovation workshop, worked as an architect in Alibaba Alipay.

As the chief preacher and software architect of the workshop, he is very pleased to be able to play the technical expertise in the workshop, make technical framework, and do technical communication and preaching, so he will have another chief sermon's name on his business card.

Xu Yifei, a user experience designer who wants to seize the "last chance to do things for himself", comes to the Innovation workshop with the desire to start a business.

He thought that if he did not come out to do anything in his 30 year old age, he would not have much chance after that age.

"Half a year is a bit like a new feeling."

Xu Yifei spoke so frankly about his passion and sense of innovation.

Jinhua, the head of the magic figure, said that when she first came to the Innovation workshop, she was full of enthusiasm. As a responsible person in the workshop, she felt that whether it was the instruction of professionals or the guidance of workshops, it would be of great help to her and her team.

At first, he did not know Li Kaifu's Greek Yi Ke Lu. An e-mail was exchanged for joining the Innovation workshop.

She also wants to use her 9 years of experience in Entrepreneurship and incubation to accelerate one of the three "hatchback plans".

"Passion is always there."

Wu Zhuohao likes to taste something new. No wonder he can easily be competent for user experience director.

He values the execution, coordination and innovation of innovation works.

"Like I just decorated the new office site, the user experience is not only the best product for the outside world, but also to help us create the best environment."

change

"A person can walk very fast, but a team can go further."

This is the most important sentence that Zheng Huande, the engineer of pea pods, learned in the Innovation workshop.

Ye Zhewei, a dessert project engineer, said, "it helps me to cultivate myself as a potential entrepreneur."

Wang Junyu, the director of pea pods, told reporters, "for myself, the role of an expert and employee in one field has become the role of an entrepreneur in charge of a company. This is a very different place.

The biggest harvest coming to the workshop is that the workshop has given a lot of support to the entrepreneurial team, such as capital, law and finance, which will also teach us a lot of knowledge and ways of doing things.

Chen Yukun, an engineer in the League of friends, said that changing from a student to an entrepreneur can adapt to the pformation process quickly.

In the Innovation workshop, Chen Manyan is the earliest and the last one. It does not mean that life is hard to finish but the atmosphere is different.

"When you find that your colleagues around you are doing things in a conscientious way, they feel very different. I would like to put more energy into it here. I hope what I do is very unique."

Chen Manyan said excitedly.

"With this platform, it will start faster."

Jiang Fan, founder of "friends League", told reporters that the biggest change and help of innovation workshops is to attract talented people, expand their thinking and promote their products.

"This is a great experience."

Li Qiyuan, founder of Le net project and China Internet first doll, thinks that starting a business in a creative factory is like a product of a tomb raider. Every day, it does not know that it is on the first floor. It is very excited about the progress of the team every day. It is also very excited to talk about different things every day.

This is like Li Kaifu repeatedly stressed that in the Innovation workshop, you can feel that everyone has a good feeling and a lot of growth for the industry, strategy, operation, products and users.

Not in control

"Workmates" are more, and for the "digestion" way, Li Kaifu confidently talks about "going in and out, stripping independence".

"We can give some suggestions to our workmates, but when we independently separate the innovative workshops, we are totally autonomous companies."

Undoubtedly, the desire for independence is not only the external requirement of Li Kaifu to the workmen, but also the inner voice of the workers.

Chen Yukun, the engineer of "friend League", most appreciates that the Innovation workshop is not a greenhouse.

"No boss," he told me, "you must go out sooner or later. You have to think about how to develop after leaving the Innovation workshop."

Li Kaifu emphasized that, in terms of business itself, the relationship between innovation and projects is investment and investment.

"Each project is an independent group and an independent team.

They are not faster than who can change money, but they are faster than users.

In the Innovation workshop, Chen Manyan gains the greatest autonomy. "In the project process, we add our own ideas instead of doing what we want to do."

This is precisely the rule that Li Kaifu has carefully nurtured and directed the entrepreneurial team.

"Because you want to be a CEO in the future, you can't only know technology or only know products, you must develop in all directions."

This is Li Kaifu's basic requirement for his entrepreneur, especially the project leader.

"Holding shares but not holding shares."

Li Kaifu clarified the relationship with the hatchmen. "This is a basic principle.

It is impossible to say and invest, and then interfere in your internal affairs. We believe that the team is competent enough to cope with the competition in the future market.

When I first came, I might be a bit like a teacher (not an authoritative teacher, but an elective teacher). Later, like a coach, I slowly resemble a director, and finally I am independent.

This is Li Kaifu's relationship with the project team.

"I now believe more and more that entrepreneurs are almost determined when they are born, at least when they are graduating from college."

This is not a joke, maybe it reflects his own shadow.

Li Kaifu is a determinist and sometimes an environmental determinist.

"The people who enter the Innovation workshop must be those who want to control their own destiny and those who are uneasy with the world."

Li Kaifu described his team so well, and at the same time, he also put forward norms for recruiting entrepreneurs.

"I feel like I'm going to come here to do the same thing that I can't name myself, at least it's a product that runs on its own blood, which is the quality that engineers should have."

A workmate told reporters.
