Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Qu Li felt that he didn't do anything this year, but he didn't feel ashamed to be named the person of the year by Central Finance and Economics. The boss and CEO of two real estate companies, Wanda Wangke, won this honor at the same time.

Well, the main reason is that a certain Yang Yuanqing is also among them, which makes people feel... not bad, after all, the scale of the company has grown to such a large scale, if Qu Li hadn't been busy all the way, he wouldn't have achieved what he is today.

Although it is said that 10 people were named as the person of the year, more than 10 entrepreneurs participated in the event, and there were some miscellaneous awards. Qu Li was worrying about who he would find to attend his New Year's Eve speech, so he made up his mind when he arrived at the event site.

One is Lin Gaoning of COFCO, who is also one of the people of the year. He was transferred from China Resources to COFCO, and managed this large central enterprise in a splendid manner; . These two state-owned enterprise giants have one similarity, they are both good at mergers and acquisitions.

The former is mainly at home, while the latter is mainly abroad. Last year, it acquired the world’s seventh largest pesticide manufacturer and distributor: Israel Maxim-Agan Industrial Co., Ltd. for US$2.4 billion. A few years later, it acquired the world’s largest agrochemical company and The third largest seed company in the world: Syngenta of Switzerland.

Qu Li got acquainted with Lin Gaoning during the fierce bull crisis. They were not friendly at the first meeting, but they didn't get in touch with each other very much. It is possible that Lin Gaoning would easily trip him up, but it is a pity that Qu Li's unconventional development speed has already broken everything. Tradition.

"Why do you want to invite me?" Lin Gaoning said with a smile

"I just want to listen to the teachings of the seniors." Qu Li

"I dare not educate you."

"The predecessors were able to achieve excellent results across multiple fields with strong market competition..."

"No matter what, I'm not as good as you, first you have the beauty and then you have the glory!" Lin Gaoning said with emotion, entrepreneurs like Qu Li are scarce resources in any country, and a leader who has just taken up an important position recently quoted "Fulfillment of wishes" when commemorating the martyrs ", he proposed the "Chinese Dream" in public, and talked about glory and future prospects.

"I may be good at pioneering, but how to deal with an increasingly complex enterprise organization and how to lead this huge organization to move forward are all my weaknesses." Qu Li and Lin Gaoning chatted about enterprise management and exchanged ideas.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, at least they have started social activities. Qu Li is familiar with some rules of the game in the operation of state-owned enterprises, and Lin Gaoning knows how Qu Li manages two technology companies at the same time.

"My purpose is not to increase my control over the company, but to improve the company's innovative ability and operating efficiency..." Qu Li has always employed people with ability, and Ari has always employed people with loyalty, so they use "official committees" to restrain them. Qu Li's control over Jumei Glory depends more on system and system construction, and it is inherently difficult to cultivate people who are "loyal" and capable to him.

Lin Gaoning's heart was surging. A person's success may be due to luck, but the birth of a great company and entrepreneur always has a logic behind it. Qu Li's "natural" pattern and courage are not comparable to anyone.

Finally, Lin Gaoning agreed to Qu Li's invitation to attend his New Year's Eve speech.

Qu Li then went to chat with Ren Jianxin, and Lin Gaoning chatted with a certain Liu Chuanzhi, and talked about Qu Li.

"Impossible to be defeated, no one can tell what will happen in the future, unless he is a braggart who has no real ability, but the success of Glory cannot be said to be all due to Mr. Lei." Lin Gaoning persuaded Liu Chuanzhi to let him not hold a grudge

"He is a rare young talent, I will let go of the little grievances at the beginning."

"The higher-ups value a young entrepreneur like him very much, and think he is a representative of the Chinese dream, and don't want conflicts between everyone." Lin Gaoning

They were chatting here, Ren Jianxin was very surprised by Qu Li's visit, there was no communication before, and there should be no cooperation in the future, why?

"I would like to invite you to my New Year's Eve to chat casually. Let's see that in different industries, our country has extraordinary outstanding entrepreneurs."

"What kind of excellent company am I?" Ren Jianxin asked modestly.

"You have done a good job in choosing the timing of overseas mergers and acquisitions and integrating resources after mergers and acquisitions. Most companies have turned losses into profits in a short period of time."

"That's ridiculous, I'm not as good as you said." Kuagua always makes people happy, and Mr. Ren happily started chatting with Qu Li.

There are many stories about Mr. Ren, such as the Malan noodles in Beijin. After he started his business and earned his first pot of gold, he transformed a private enterprise into a state-owned enterprise. However, Sinochem’s management is closer to that of a private enterprise. In addition, Mr. Ren respects the culture and independence of the acquired companies overseas, which means that foreign companies are still foreign companies, and taxes, profits and technology may not stay in China.

Mr. Ren is also very curious about Qu Li. In just a few years, a young man has created a Fortune 500 company, oh, maybe two or three. One time may be a miracle, but two or three times can all explain the entrepreneur's ability.

"Jumei is just getting better. Why do you dare to go overseas to set up a business and compete directly with the world's best e-commerce companies?" Mr. Ren asked other concerns.

"I didn't think about it that much at the time. The Internet is inherently open. No matter where we go, our business logic will not change: prices, products and services."

"Besides, Amazon had already entered the Chinese market at that time. It was a normal choice to defend against the enemy outside the country. In the future, we will fight anyway, so it is better to choose a battlefield."

"Aren't you afraid of failure? Then you might lose control of Jumei."

"At that time, I had achieved financial freedom. Even if Jumei went bankrupt, it wouldn't affect me. Instead of setting up a mediocre Internet company, it would be better to take the initiative to pursue glory. Even if it can only bloom for a moment, this life will not be in vain. live." Qu Li was a little ambitious

"If you chose to become a private entrepreneur before, you might be worth tens of billions now, and you don't have to be restrained in the country..."

"At that time, the domestic market environment was not like it is now, and becoming a rich man was not a good choice."

"Then I'll give you another chance?" Qu Li didn't want to discuss past issues

"It should still be the same, but I will do better. Being a state-owned enterprise has given me a bigger stage." Mr. Ren

The communication between the two was very pleasant. Before the acquisition of Syngenta, Mr. Ren’s status in the world was not high. Even after the acquisition of Syngenta, he was picked by Lin Gaoning when the two companies merged and lost the chairman of Sinochem. position, retired.

Ren Jianxin finally agreed to Qu Li's invitation to give his New Year's Eve speech.
