Sharp Brother Yan: Tell the truth, defying the power, heart of the world

Yan: Chief partner of SoftBank Fund Management Co., Ltd. Yan's slogan in the company is to be a thoughtful investor, and in his opinion, the depth of thinking is proportional to the size of the investment. In addition, he is a refusal of mediocre people, "refuse mediocrity" is his signature on Weibo, of course, he has been so living. Reporter asked Yan, how to understand the word "value", which touched his nerves, the early hearsay of learning experience and frequent conversion of the work of the track, he has not become the kind of person he wants to be. However, he had already relieved. There is one thing that unlocks the Yan knot. One time in Washington to attend a party, someone said to him, your book I read, Yan very excited, end a glass, chat up to know, just read the introduction, he was particularly disappointed. In Yan's opinion, the book he wrote, and the paper, probably not more than 20 people in the world read it. This regret was relieved only a few years later. At AIG, most of the initial projects were infrastructure. One year Yan cervical spondylosis, stranded in Hangzhou, lying in bed for one months, then his subordinates said, "Boss, don't always lie down, I'll drive you out for a spin." "Out of Hangzhou city, I would like to be at the highway exit toll station to eat a meal, went back." Yan See the surrounding mountains, especially like the Qianshan County when he cut in line, want to go to the mountains to walk. He went to the farmer's home, the local farmers know that he is an investor, he gave him a special heart to eat. Because the highway repaired, the mountain vegetables, tea, bamboo shoots, mountain, shipped to Hangzhou to sell, not only improved life, life is also convenient a lot. Yan feel very good, in his opinion, he makes investment, not only make money, actually improve a lot of people's lives, creating a very many jobs, he first felt that the current do things, than in the past to write academic articles is much stronger than many times. For so many years, Yan has done is to bring American investors ' money to China, and then Chinese companies to go public in the United States, the flow of money into a circle. Mrs Thatcher has concluded that why Europe lags behind the US in High-tech, not because of the low level of technology in Europe, but because Europe lags behind the US in venture capital. China is the world's most saving country, with 40% of the household income being put into a bank's savings account. That means China may be one of the least efficient financial markets in the world. The value of their people is to improve the efficiency of money, but also to achieve several or more world-class enterprises. In the investment circle after the fame, in Yan View, 77 of these people, experienced the turbulence and changes in the times, as the past, no longer worry about money, he still feel he should do something. September 7, 2006, the CCTV large inspirational program "win in China" will enter the final stage, from 12 finalists of 5 to enter the next round, that is, the so-called 12 into 5. Yan, who has rarely been interviewed, has been one of the judges, and has come to the fore from behind the scenes. In fact, as early as this spring festival, Yan deeply involved in the "win in China" planning activities. Not only that, the raceRich will also be with IDGVC, today's capital, with the ultimate winner to provide 30 million yuan of venture capital. In this respect, has always been low-key Yan explained: "We participate in this program, mainly for the purpose of public welfare, because it can play a universal role, so that people know what is VC, and then encourage the Chinese entrepreneurial spirit, now the Chinese society too need this endless entrepreneurial spirit." Despite being confronted with the same media, Yan's insistence remains to be himself. At the end of last year, the 2011CCTV figures revealed that the nomination was awarded to the Guan, chairman and president of the international rating, in 2011, as the national rating agencies, the international voice, the United States and sovereign ratings, and to the Ministry of Railways and the city to pay high credit rating caused widespread controversy. "I am the judge, but I have not voted this year and will not," Yan, who forwarded a Guan Weibo chairman and president of the nomination award, announced the results of the poll. "In this respect, ran, founder and chief executive officer of Ecapital Capital, and Wang, co-founder and founder of the CDH Investment fund, have been Yan in Weibo. The power of example is infinite, the story of Yan is the story of the most typical Chinese dream, unarmed, achievement dream. Summer of 2011, "the National Outstanding University student Summer Camp", probably has more than 1000 students to attend, Yan, Liu, Zong Qing, Chen and so on person is invited to make the speech, this speech link has a more interesting setting, is by these university students to the speaker independent grade, Yan gets the highest cent. After that, Yan also analyzed why he scored much higher than Liu. It was for a reason that they had a great respect for old Willow, and for such a man as Mr. Zong might but they do not agree, that is, they are high, but in my body, they can see their future path, Liu and Zong after the road, for this generation of Chinese college students, is not replicable. "Despite the very limited ability to do it." Yan has always been interviewed by the media, but after the birth of the micro-blogging tool, he was very serious about writing, in his view, half is funny, half is vent. In his view, 90% of things on the web are worthless, and he feels that by being able to guide young people through such a media, how can they approach the nature of the problem more closely? Yan in the company's slogan is to be a thoughtful investor, in his view, the depth of thinking and the scale of investment is proportional. In addition, he is a refusal of mediocre people, "refuse mediocrity" is his signature on Weibo, of course, he has been so living. In Yan's view, people roughly have two kinds of living, one is flat flat, peacefully spend a lifetime, this is the life that the mother particularly wants him to live in, but another kind is ups and downs, the big wave big Lan's generation is in, he thinks, the second way of life, even if 40 years old will be rugged, he will also choose the second kind, is to be different alive. In FriendsEyes, Yan was a workaholic, of course, in his opinion, this is a kind of love for work, he will not only work, but also play, leisure, he will go to sing, but now go less, "I am a very love of life, I am not the kind of particularly boring, particularly Sandi people." "Now, after 19 years of investment banking, Yan even told reporters he was happy to be a businessman." Even now, the group is not perfect in his eyes. "After too many things, slowly you will know that as a Chinese private entrepreneur, the overall quality of this group is not satisfactory, but in China the present environment, it is understandable, because they do not, they can not survive today." "Yan narrated. In Yan's view, the investment environment has become increasingly grim over the past three years, and in the previous decade economic growth has been much worse than in recent years, but the investment environment has been far better. On the one hand, policy makers are hostile to foreign investment, and the other is the increased transaction costs and the complexity of the approval process. This is a terrible sign, Yan, because when someone complicates the process and creates trouble, becomes a mindset and a lifestyle, the social atmosphere becomes very scary. Therefore, in such an environment, survival must be adapted to his rules, and must pay the price. "But I don't have to do anything for five metres." As an investor, you can do all the approvals, I cast, do not come down, I will not vote, the world will always have the opportunity to make money, I can not put all the opportunity to make money. "Therefore, Yan that he can not represent the vast majority of Chinese people, not to represent the Chinese businessmen, but also can not represent the Chinese intellectuals, he just stood in a comparative third party position, said some stand to speak not waist pain, for this, he has been criticized by many people." This year Boao Forum, Yan issued a view, "I have been to the first BOAO conference, I do not want to go." Our meeting, most of it is to go with does not go is no difference. I don't understand how many entrepreneurs are keen on meetings, giving speeches, better-without, and willing to pay a high fee for a speech. In particular, those entrepreneurs who do bad business, meetings are almost a profession. The vocation of an entrepreneur is to start a business and make money. The entrepreneur who meets every day must be a rotten entrepreneur! " In the United States, we all know that postdoctoral people can not find jobs for professors when a cheap labor, and then hard to find a job. I do not know when, people and the media to the postdoctoral as a degree of the highest grade to blow. Some bloggers also enjoy, really everyone to each other, everyone happy. It's just that the sacred thing is so profane. "At the end of August last year, Zhanglan, the southern beauty, complained that the company's biggest mistake was the introduction of the CDH investment." Yan ridiculed way, "do not know whether Ding Hui took the knife blade in the belly of the Qiao Jiangnan signed about, if so, this" marriage "must be Ding Hui is not. The cornerstone of business is respect for and enforcement of contracts, and integrity is the root of all business activities.This。 "Liu Shengjun, deputy dean of the China-Europe Lujiazui Institute for International Finance, has made a comment, corporate sharp brother Ren Zhiqiang, the wind cast the world's sharp Cossetto yan," after "the sharp elder brother Han, the economic circle of the sharp elder brother Xu, the media of the sharp elder sister Hu Shuli," after "the sharp elder brother Wu. What they have in common is "telling the truth", "Defying Power" and "Heart and Soul". Therefore, Liu Shengjun called Yan as the old cynic, the compassionate feelings of ' sharp elder brother ', it is not always the face of the board to speak, but also special ridicule time, such as micro-blog on a pile of girls in the discussion of long hair good, or short hair good, he was funny to return a sentence, "long hair for June to stay, short hair for June cut!"
