Liu Chuanzhi: What Kind Of Entrepreneurial Leaders Do We Need?

"Do you think you can't get away from rivers or lakes, or are you inseparable from rivers and lakes?" this is the question of a young journalist thrown to Liu Chuanzhi at the media communication conference of the June 2nd Chengdu entrepreneurship lecture hall.

There was a burst of laughter when the voice dropped.

Liu Chuanzhi probably thought the question was not funny.

He said: "Lenovo and I are in deep trouble, I can not do without.

Five days later, in June 7th, on the morning of the interview with "pioneering state", Liu Chuanzhi received the chairman of NEC from Japan. He asked the other side to play golf several times a month, and the other side said that once a week, it was good to fight once.

Liu Chuanzhi told him that every morning he went to the stadium near his neighborhood to swing with his wife.

"My

Now Liu Chuanzhi has devoted most of his efforts to Lenovo's IPO plan.

"All associates know that my interests are in the industry. We have gone through a road to accumulate new capital through investment and support new industries.

In the process of capital accumulation, we have further verified that through investment, we have enriched our experience in doing business, and we can better identify and cultivate excellent companies and talents through capital and value-added services.

Liu said.

Liu Chuanzhi's biggest capital now is not money, but interest and patience.

Last year when he made a speech in Shanghai, a young man in a noodle shop wrote a letter to Liu's assistant, detailing how distinctive his product positioning was, and asking Liu Chuanzhi to taste his pasta himself.

I didn't expect Liu Chuanzhi to go to Shanghai very soon when he went to Shanghai. After listening to the entrepreneurial experience of the founder of the grassroots entrepreneur, he immediately introduced him to the head of Lenovo investment.

"The highlight of his business model is standardization and fast food. The most important thing is to weaken the control of the chef across the hall."

Liu Chuanzhi gave us a very serious introduction to the feasibility of this project, just like an investment manager's look.

Supporting entrepreneurship is something Liu Chuanzhi believes should be done and can be done. There is a lot of room for imagination. Lenovo spends 10 million yuan every year on free training for outstanding entrepreneurs in China. If he thinks that the project is suitable for Lenovo, he can also provide investment.

But the amount of money spent from the flower of Lenovo star can not exceed 16 million yuan.

The reason why Lenovo did this is that it is permeated with a sense of the times.

Liu Chuanzhi is in the era of "abnormal". He can be regarded as an entrepreneur by any individual proprietor.

Although there was no demeaning, the 67 year old man saw that a group of entrepreneurs who had come out 26 years ago fell down and asked, "how many like me?"

Wang Jianqing, managing director of Lenovo's investment, said: "the biggest feeling I have in Lenovo's class is that Chinese entrepreneurs are very ambitious and passionate, but it is really not enough for an enterprise to know and operate successfully."

Liu Chuanzhi, who can connect with these entrepreneurs, has become a symbol of Chinese entrepreneurs. At present, few people dare to challenge a height he has reached.

Therefore, he has no doubt that he is the entrepreneurial mentor of Chinese entrepreneurs.

Especially in the era of fragmented information, it is impossible to distinguish who is the real mentor. It is very important to ask Liu Chuanzhi to talk systematically about entrepreneurship and counselling.

A student said to the "entrepreneurial state", "we don't think we should talk about many practices, but Lenovo is willing to share it with us. This is very valuable."

"Cultivating scientists into entrepreneurs" is the founding slogan of Lenovo star.

After three years of development, whether Liu Chuanzhi or the person in charge of execution is no longer satisfied.

In building the syllabus of Lenovo star, Liu Chuanzhi said, "can we embody the feeling that we have them together?"

"I prefer to do things.

It's all honest. I'm sure I don't like it.

But I dare not throw a basket of eggs up.

In those days, I took a basket of eggs and smashed it up. At that time, bare feet did not wear shoes. I was not afraid. When I was dressed in a suit, I would not dare to do it. So I could only take 20% of my stuff and dare to do it.

But you can't even hit 20% of the stuff. I can't see such a person.

In the interview with Zhou Ziqiang, Dean of the association's entrepreneurship training, we understand that Lenovo is actually a wish of Liu Chuanzhi himself.

During the second phase of the enrolment of the Lenovo star CEO special training class and the third phase of the planning, Liu Chuanzhi asked, "can you open 4 classes in the three period?" this is the first signal he wants to make Lenovo star bigger.

In 2010, Lenovo star incubator was identified as one of the major business segments of Lenovo holdings.

Lao Liu said, "after all, the time is short. The legend star has been doing this for three years. I believe that after five or seven years of work, the influence will be bigger and bigger."

The influence of his mouth, Lu Gang's understanding, is that "really helps entrepreneurs turn from zero to a very good business, proving that Lenovo's star system is feasible."

Therefore, Lenovo university is not groundless, nor is it a castle in the air.

Lenovo star has held three CEO special training classes, extending from third to two classes, a total of 69 people.

At the same time, there are short term projects such as entrepreneurship training base and entrepreneurship lecture hall, including venture capital, media, investment and financing, intermediaries and other resources.

After returning to Beijing from the Chengdu business lecture hall, Liu Chuanzhi finally found a free time to sit with the legend star to meet and listen to their strategic thinking about the future.

Entering the conference room, he laughingly said, "meeting with our own people today is very relaxing."

After the meeting, please go to eat Ni's seafood.

Zhou Ziqiang said: "the following people are able to do everything very well and do not worry about it. He is very happy."

Zhou Ziqiang used to be Liu Chuanzhi's English plation. For this old subordinate, Liu Chuanzhi often laughed at a few words.

"Today you are doing something interesting in the legend star. If you want to do it, simply run a Lenovo University and charge it to the outside world. If you really want to have this skill, I will fully support it and turn it into an independent company."

This is Liu Chuanzhi's jokes on the spur of the moment, but it also implies his consistent philosophy of big Lenovo: the platform is big enough, as long as there is a dream.

Liu Chuanzhi still likes to read books. To be precise, he loves listening to books.

He often lets his assistant download the audio content to the player and enjoy the "pleasure of reading" on the plane.

The two books he recommended recently were "Hou Weidong's Officialdom" and "National Transportation 1909: the breakout of the Qing Empire".

The former talks about how to deal with local governments; the latter relates to the fate and reform of the country.

In July, Liu Chuanzhi also made a speech on the theme of what handsome men are and how they can work.

He said, "I'll smooth it through myself. I'm interested in these things."

Dialogue Liu Chuanzhi: talent and talent

"The general trend is coming, the pigs can fly, but when the wind stops, the pigs will fall down!"

Venture capital: in recent times, the Chinese venture capital market has been very popular whether it is financing or IPO. Now, there is a popular saying that "the general trend is coming, pigs can fly."

Liu Chuanzhi: everyone is IPO. Apart from the Internet thing I don't know clearly, everything else is based on skills.

But the price earnings ratio of gem is really too high, so that it may be hit hard sooner or later.

Yes, the pigs can fly when the trend is coming, but when the wind stops, the pigs will fall down.

What we hope to release is really flying in the sky.

Opportunities can go up, but your business may be straight, and share prices will go down.

Because it is likely to be surpassed by others, or replaced by new products of others, and then you will be thrown away.

In those years, I remember that newspapers constantly advertised, made DVD and sold alcohol, and became famous for advertising.

But at the end of the day, if this thing is overtaken, nothing will happen. It is entirely by chance.

Like the rooftop map, the foundation of the ground is strong, and the roof is also needed to study.

The roof refers to the operation of these management, such as procurement, R & D, all need to study carefully.

Recently, I met a person who worked in the food industry. When he arrived in Shanghai, it happened that Shanghai was exposed to tofu.

Shanghai people eat tofu instead of brine in the north, but gypsum.

It was exposed to the plaster of blood in the hospital, which was used to make tofu, which disgusted the people of Shanghai. During that time, they did not eat tofu.

As a result, the young man saw the opportunity. He made some money and opened a face.

He bought a blueprint from South Korea and made a bean curd machine. He began to design tofu, and there were so many people buying tofu.

But this method, after all, was slow to make money, so he simply went to sell tofu machine.

Later, the industry was snatched away by Wenzhou people, and the cost was lower than that of him.

But he did something else and did very well.

Such a person is a quick brain and can seize the opportunity. Later, when he is in the new field, things are very thorough. Every step before development is very clear.

Therefore, if there is such a special person, in fact, Lenovo can also receive it.

Startups: is this type of entrepreneur a bit like Shi Yuzhu in his early years?

Liu Chuanzhi: he came up by chance, but he seriously studied and explored various products.

Melatonin is really a good medicine. My wife insists on eating brain platinum, which is very good for sleeping. My sister has been in the United States for many years and her bowel movements are not smooth enough.

However, its advertising is a bit annoying (laughter), and later it is said to be false, but it is not.

Later, he turned to play games, and he found other opportunities after he finished the game.

His biggest investment now is bank investment.

So people who can always catch opportunities can't think that they are waiting for opportunities.

This is also a special talent.

Like he belongs to a chivalrous behavior, practice is the eye of the eye, see a good thing at a glance.

Many of Shi Yuzhu's entrepreneurs have typical characteristics.

So people who really make big things do not have to give him an example of how others may be. He can learn, but something in his character can not be changed. Maybe he will learn nothing in the future if he learns something that is not suitable for him.

Let Shi Yuzhu do something about us.

"Entrepreneurial state": some people are suitable for entrepreneurship, while others are born "handsome men". How do you distinguish these two kinds of entrepreneurs?

Liu Chuanzhi: handsome guy is actually he wants to run a big company. He must be clear about that.

Moreover, this goal should be very high. It should not simply open a shop or do one thing. He must have the vision to pursue, and he can clearly and clearly arrive at several steps: where does the first step probably arrive? Then what way can he get there? How many steps do we take on this road? How do we go about every step? Do we need to start at the same time? Because there are many things in it.
