What kind of entrepreneur is what we need

　　recently, Horse Cloud in the media interview as stated: me ten years ago more concerned about the world , and my days were very difficult; five years ago I cared about the fate of China, and I also had a very strong tough life; so three years ago, I only care about the company, my days are slowly getting better. Now I only care about myself, life becomes getting better. So I said, care about yourself, everyone to do their favorite things, it will the world will be better. The

At the same time, Southern weekend's "New Year's message" incident sparked a stir, and the media watchdog's behavior has provoked protests across the media, becoming the most High-profile public event on Weibo for some time. In the incident, intellectuals, including many media, voiced their solidarity with the "South Week" and called for reform.

While advocating "to do their own", while insisting on "the state of concern", while standing on the Chinese entrepreneur, while standing is China's public intellectuals. In the 2013, a year in which multiple semantics meant "to start again," since the very beginning, China's two major strata have read their preset lines in a dramatic way.

Buried in the work?

In contrast, it is inevitable to involve the old topic: the mission of entrepreneurs and intellectuals. Should entrepreneurs only care about their businesses? What role should entrepreneurs play in public life?

If the entrepreneur's identity, Ma Yun above the statement is understandable.

In a normal society, each person has its specific social role and social responsibility, but the connotation is different. It is the politician's duty to govern this country, the responsibility of entrepreneurs is to create more wealth and employment opportunities, the responsibility of the media is to make different voices can be spread without obstacles, and the responsibility of intellectuals is always standing in the opposite of secular--sometimes at the defend of the right to oppose, against the opposition.

For an entrepreneur, no other world is more important than the enterprise he created, and there is no other standard that gives him a sense of achievement than profitability-it's hard to call an entrepreneur who has a sense of social responsibility and justice, and a company that's on the verge of bankruptcy. Therefore, Ma Yun stressed that "only care about themselves and the company" is right, in China's specific political and business environment, this is in part a true portrayal of the Chinese entrepreneur's heart.

But the problem is, "do the things you like, the world will be better," the fatal logical flaw is that you may not be able to do the things you like, even if you can do, it may not be able to do under various constraints. If the system is not perfect, the law is not sound, any "immersed in doing good" idea is wishful thinking. The restraint of the system has become the biggest obstacle to the further development of China's economy and Chinese enterprises, but the entrepreneur is obviously unable to take the responsibility of advancing the system and perfecting the law.

Most of the time entrepreneurs have quantifiable interests, while the value of the existence of public intellectuals is much more abstract. Because of this, their value of existence is reflected, so that it can better transcend the interests and promote the society and the country to more equitable direction.

Balance is the greatest test

As a result, we can see that entrepreneurs and intellectuals are two different classes of social responsibility and value philosophy, and we cannot expect entrepreneurs to become intellectuals completely. But, to a certain extent, entrepreneurs and intellectuals must be mutually supportive, and in the sense of "making the world a better place," the goals of these two sectors are the same.

However, the gap, misunderstanding and even confrontation between the entrepreneur class and the intellectual stratum are still not enough, but they have never had a true sense of dialogue and understanding, which also makes the power to promote change seem dispersed and faint. Chinese entrepreneurs should be aware that the progress of all societies needs to be fought for, including everyone. Even entrepreneurs, even if your primary responsibility is to run a business, realize that every right and freedom you strive for today as a citizen will also benefit your business.

"This is an era of reversal of chaos, but unfortunately I have to take the responsibility to restructure the universe." "Hamlet's confession here, it is quite able to say that the situation of Chinese entrepreneurs-avoid the sophisticated immersed in their" entrepreneurial duties ", and to be able to balance the business and public identity, will be the biggest test of Chinese entrepreneurs now.
