Li Kaifu, chairman and CEO of innovation workshop (picture: China Enterprise Network)
(Editor's note) "open up, do you want to write a pile of academic papers like waste paper all your life? Or want to use products to change the world ?" It was Apple's Vice President Dave Nagel who sent him an invitation to join with a cup of bright self-brewed wine. It is this sentence that has ignited Lee's dream of "the world is different from you" for many years. He gave up his pursuit of his tenure and made the first important choice in his career. This selection also laid the foundation for his future, until he joined Microsoft and Google's top companies in the world. He believes that behind every choice is a new world.
He once had the dream of creating a first-class private university in China, but he did not realize it for various reasons, but finally practiced it in another way. After leaving Google's former Greater China president, he founded an innovation workshop to provide angel investment for young entrepreneurs. How can this problem be solved? Do you have money and fame? In the eyes of Kai-fu Lee, your value lies in not only how much you have, but also how much you have left. This time, I relived the classic quotations of Lee Kai-fu and felt the passion and wisdom of this young mentor.
Here are some of Li Kaifu's classic quotations:
1. My suggestions for graduates of high-tech Entrepreneurship: 1) entrepreneurship requires understanding the trend, gathering elites, and practical experience. Therefore, if you graduate from a university, you must not start a business. You can only join a startup company. 2) it is best to find an internship opportunity for a startup company long before graduation (free of charge), because it may not be suitable for you or as you think. 3) If you want to learn to start a business after graduation, you 'd better go to the startup company. Learning Technologies from large companies is not targeted enough.
2. Graduates should consider multiple aspects in their career choices: 1) Are you interested and talented in this job? 2) Do you recognize and respect corporate culture? 3) Do you respect the leadership and think you can learn a lot from him? 4) Does the company provide training and learn what you need most? (For example, it is better to start a business in a large company than to start a business.) 5) is your job a core business in the company? 6) treatment, company brand, etc.
3. Many graduates choose their jobs only depending on their salaries. they compare with their classmates and are under pressure from their parents. However, the most "popular" option may not be suitable for you. Jobs with the highest "high salary" do not have to learn the most. If Steve Jobs is "herd", he may become a salesman at HP. If Bill Gates "listen to his parents", he may become a lawyer. Zuckerberg may become a Google engineer if he is "looking at money.
4. What is the best "Foundation" for future start-ups to become CEO "? My answer is: the product manager plays a core role in products, technologies, markets, customers, operations, and design. It is recommended that those who intend to become CEOs consider taking the product manager path if they are employed first (whether in a large company or a startup company.
5. Opportunities will never disappear, because all the opportunities you miss have been picked up by others.
6. jobs' spirit in my eyes: 1) do the right thing at the right time; 2) be perfect, almost demanding; 3) perfect combination of art and technology; 4) brave enough to break the conventional thinking and think in different ways.
7. What jobs can do: 1) forecast industry trends; 2) boldly use the most advanced technologies; 3) create a brand new business model; 4) Consolidate first-class talents; 5) hope that users do not consciously need it; 6) never-ending self-transcendence; 7) design products with almost perfect details; 8) persuade users to love their products with confidence. Generally, two or three of the above points may be very successful, but Steve Jobs can achieve 8 points.
8. In everyone's eyes, there is a different Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs in my eyes: 1) attractive, expressive, and good at presentation and presentation; 2) Unique foresight and influence, allowing you to see the essence of the problem at a glance; 3) focusing on Talents, despise idiots; 4) No one can compare passion; 5) learn how to change or suppress your bad habits after repeated failures, and get out of failure.
9. Some netizens asked me why I did not succeed? My answer: 1) Some authors did not write their own books but did not do business. They did not have any reference to their success in learning paper. 2) Books of people who have worked in industry, if they teach you how to copy their success, it is not advisable, because everyone should follow their own path, not to mention the success is generally not allowed to copy, 3) it is recommended to read celebrity autobiography, but don't take the replication mentality, learning is worth learning and learning.
10. What are my husband and wife doing? (1) contract spirit: negotiate with each other before marriage (for example, when to take a bath); (2) equal Husband and Wife: Listen to the same opinion as the husband and wife, listen to your wife for different opinions. 3) Touching memories: Remember one thing that makes you especially touched by the other party. Think more when you are angry. 4) language of love: understanding the language of love is different for everyone, some people stick their mouths, and some people take care of and cook.
11. A smart person can speak, and a smart person knows when to speak.
12. Thinker's thoughts; real-person practitioners. What changes the world will happen when the thinker starts to work hard or when the real person starts to think!
13. You can often fail, but you will become a loser only when you give up.
14. Each person has two time-light machines. when they return to the past, they are called "Memories" and "Dreams ".
15. A half-year old: 1) Don't wait for your wishes and dreams. Don't "wait for your retirement." At that time, you may not be able to do it. Come on. 2) No matter if you go to college, don't worry, they need to hone themselves, 3) Don't give: Let the children be independent, give the children less, the more sages the children. 4) Don't look at it: If you close one eye, you will suffer from it. 5) Don't do it: Don't do what you can, just stop, and do what you can.(The above quotations are all taken from Lee Kai-fu's personal microblog)
