Liu Chuanzhi: "Life And Death" On The Road Of Entrepreneurship
Liu Chuanzhi, in the office of Lenovo holdings, received an exclusive interview with the Beijing News reporters.
This is also the first time that Liu Chuanzhi received an exclusive media interview after holding the listing.
He said that the entrepreneurial road has been going through life and death, but it has always been very happy because there is an immortal ideal in mind.
Because of the old system, he had to "step on the red line" at the beginning of his business, and he was very upset.
But at that time, he was still grateful: after all, he could catch up with his ideal when he was not too old.
Liu Chuanzhi has been 71 years old this year. He said he had a good ending. Maybe one day, people would say, "look, the old man playing the ball is Liu Qing's father."

Circle of friends
Being "big brother" is not "taking the lead in big brother".
Reporter: in July 7th, Legend Holdings held a celebration ceremony. You sent out all the heroes and all the entrepreneurs attended.
For many people, you are "successful in closing".
Do you think this is satisfactory?
Liu Chuanzhi: basically, it is a successful ending.
Lenovo has been constantly raising targets over the years.
Legend Holdings's listing is a milestone for us to realize our vision. This milestone is what I participated in, but the next milestone will not be my responsibility. I may really follow my assistant like a assistant and give me a lift.
Reporter: some people say that Lao Liu is like a "leading brother" in the group of private entrepreneurs.
Liu Chuanzhi
No, you trust me more.
In the Chinese Entrepreneur Club, I never pretend, nor do I say that I am excited or against my heart. I have set rules and regulations, no matter who violates, including myself, how to punish.
Interviewer: you say, everyone calls you "big brother" and you feel very happy.
Why?
Liu Chuanzhi: in Chinese society, being called eldest brother is a component with a certain warmth and respect.
It doesn't mean the kind of big brother.
Especially when thirty or forty year old younger entrepreneurs can call me "big brother", I am very glad to hear that.
When a general entrepreneur reaches a certain scale, it is easy to carry a few points.
Sometimes, it's easy to mess up. My son is more than 40 years old. He calls a friend a big brother. That friend calls me my eldest brother. I find it funny, but I'm also very happy.

Entrepreneurship
Although "life and death", but very happy.
Reporter: what was your initial goal?
Liu Chuanzhi: influenced by the "Cultural Revolution", it was muddled before, and the whole people were in a mixed state.
After reform and opening up, I woke up and had a goal.
At that time, I had an impulse to do things and wanted to prove my worth. My goal was to try what I could do and what I could do.
Reporter: have you been happy since you started your business in 1984?
Liu Chuanzhi: I am very happy, even though I have encountered a lot of life and death in the middle.
I never felt pain at any time, because I knew I had to do something.
Reporter: enterprises will encounter many uncertainties, such as changes in political and business environment, technological environment and economic environment.
How should entrepreneurs reduce risks?
Liu Chuanzhi: This is exactly what entrepreneurs should consider.
Different enterprises should have different countermeasures. Entrepreneurial enterprises should dare to trial and error and dare to take risks.
But when a company has reached a certain scale, it must use some energy to explore new roads, and partly to eat the food in the original bowl.
Otherwise, the environment is changing, and you will remain unchanged.
Talking about experience
Later on, the more important we felt about our feelings.
Reporter: in your value system, what is the greatest value of life? Wealth, fame, or age?
Liu Chuanzhi: in fact, at this time, I pay special attention to whether my colleagues in the company are brought up. Do they really approve of me? I can gain a sincere heart.
It's also a pleasure to have more non-commercial contacts with friends outside.
Reporter: has it been sorted in this way?
Liu Chuanzhi: the more it goes, the heavier it is.
I used to see the breakthrough goal very seriously, for example, my daughter's primary school to junior high school. When I started to run an enterprise, I didn't even have a parent's meeting.
In the 80s of last century, China's reform and opening up was very active in all aspects, but I didn't even know any good movies at that time.
It is running to the goal of letting the enterprise survive.
At different stages of life, emphasis is not necessarily the same.
The first step will gradually become a comprehensive balance of life and more consideration.
Reporter: the first stage is easy to be regarded as utilitarian.
Liu Chuanzhi: utilitarian, let's see how the two business people intercourse. At the very beginning, they were commercial contacts. They must talk about their business and protect their own interests.
When two people trust each other and have feelings, it is difficult for the other side. Even if there is no advantage, you are willing to extend your leadership, which is irrelevant to interests at this time.
This is also true for me.
Reporter: what kind of person can establish an interest relationship with you?
Liu Chuanzhi: it is a person with integrity. When it comes to doing so, it is best for the other side to win a win-win situation.
Reporter: nothing to do with his social status and the size of his business?
Liu Chuanzhi: nothing to do with it.
Regardless of the size of the other company, I respect each other when I first meet, but I will respect people who are trustworthy and win win values.
Reporter: if you compare yourself with a historical figure, who will you choose?
Liu Chuanzhi: I can talk about people whom I particularly respect, such as Lu Zuo Fu in the Republic of China, but I would never dare to compare with him.
During the war of resistance against Japan, he let his employees pport goods and materials for the country.
After that, he set his mind on building, and he was wronged.
Before I do things, I will calculate for a long time. If I look at the advantages and disadvantages of the business, I will do my best to make the greatest contribution to the society.
And Lu Zuo Fu is completely selfless.
If I would do that in the war years, I don't know, but I admire this kind of person.
Talking about investment
Optimistic about consumption and services
Reporter: compared with other investment institutions to invest in some pure Internet Co, it can be launched in a few years. The investment in holding companies is relatively heavy.
Why choose a slower path?
Liu Chuanzhi: nor was it deliberately chosen.
When we choose, we should first choose industries that are less affected by policy direction and will not fluctuate violently because of policies.
Second, the industry must have a large space for development. The state has made it very clear that we should use consumer services to stimulate the economy. In this direction, we are very optimistic about it, which is the investment theme of Legend Holdings.
Third, we hope to integrate investment and industry, covering various stages of enterprise development through diversified investment platforms, and enhance synergy among platforms.
Reporter: for example, medical treatment, holding investment in this field is mostly related to the R & D of medicine, and the direction of other organizations is different.
Liu Chuanzhi: actually, we have a proportion here.
As an angel investor, Lenovo will invest more in the so-called pure Internet services.
We invest first in the field, not in the Internet plus.
Reporter: your attitude towards Internet entrepreneurship is still very open.
Liu Chuanzhi: of course, not only does not exclude, I also think that the current technology inflection point and business mode innovation are on the Internet +.
Today, the role of the Internet is far from being played out.
For example, Alibaba was originally an attribute of e-commerce. As a result, it led to finance, Tencent is a social product, and even brings many new changes to the communications industry.
Reporter: some people think that this round of Internet entrepreneurship craze is easy to mislead young people and let people lose themselves.
What's your opinion?
Liu Chuanzhi: after all, very few people are successful.
Even so, the tide will be bigger and bigger.
So now you say the Internet is overheated, and I don't really understand it.
As Zhou Qiren said, the Internet is a new thing, but there are some old fundamental things that can not be lost, such as the spirit of contract.
Reporter: before you told the media, this is an abnormal era.
Liu Chuanzhi: No, I didn't say that.
I have always thought that this is a good era and a golden age.
But it is not suitable for every enterprise. For example, there is a lot of wind in this age. If it is not prepared in advance, it will probably be rolled off.
