Chapter Seventy-Seven: Motivation to Learn
"Maintaining an interest in the unknown and a hunger for new technologies will be my main source of motivation in the pursuit of wealth!"
When asked by a reporter what makes him continue to maintain his enthusiasm for work after having so much wealth, Han Hao replied.
As a young man who was able to disassemble and assemble the toys that his parents bought for him since he was a child, and became a qualified motorcycle mechanic in high school, Han Hao always maintained his desire for new things and new technologies.
Invited to attend the Alibaba listing ceremony, Han Hao's appearance is destined to be the focus of the media, even if he wants to keep a low profile, he can't escape the siege of reporters.
Ali was successfully listed, Han Hao's net worth rose sharply again, and many Hong Kong reporters thought that it was only a matter of time before he surpassed Li Chaoren, who was known as having half of Hong Kong City, and was promoted to the richest Chinese in the world.
Unlike Li Chaoren, who focuses on investing in traditional projects such as energy, infrastructure and real estate, Han Hao's investment fund favors high-tech industries.
The energy and infrastructure industries are guaranteed by drought and flood, but the return cycle is long, which is suitable for risk aversion, while investing in high-tech Internet companies is very risky, but the rate of return is extremely amazing.
Like Warren Buffett, Li Chaoren's memory, experience and experience determine that they will consciously avoid the uncertainty of the Internet and choose the physical industry that they can understand and touch.
But Han Hao's natural adventurous and unyielding nature, as well as his love for high-tech, made him more actively involved in the next wave of technological change.
Striving to build Zhonghua Group into a high-tech company, rather than a traditional manufacturing enterprise, is enough to prove his ambition.
Unlike other rich people, Han Hao does not show off his wealth and extravagant enjoyment, and he is busy all over the world. The purchase of a private jet is to make it more convenient for work, and he is willing to be a tester in a car produced by himself, and there is no scandal, he can't see other women around him, and his wife Chen Lingxi is by his side.
"Maybe I'm a person who has detached himself from low-level interests and has pursued higher-level goals all his life!"
The atmosphere was warm, and Han Hao rarely took the initiative to say a few more words to the reporters in response to their doubts.
Reporters with pens and paper or voice recorders were trying to write down what Han Hao said, because this big man was indeed qualified to say such things.
"Haha, it was just a joke.
In fact, like all of you, I have to eat, drink, and Lazar every day, and I have the same troubles, but I am just an ordinary person. People who don't have low-level interests are saints who don't eat fireworks in the world, they only exist in the virtual world.
Why do I keep my passion so high?
It's actually quite simple, because it's fun!
Nowadays it is not a popular online computer game, and some people like to play various roles such as kings, mayors, and business tycoons in the virtual world, and often forget to eat, sleep, or even fall in love for this, which is called addiction to the Internet.
Essentially, I'm just like them, except that they operate in a virtual world, while I'm playing a real-life survival game in a global village!"
This is really a great metaphor, and it completely explains why Han Hao is a workaholic.
Before you play the game and don't clear the level, will you be distracted and fully engaged, even if you don't care about the unclear accusations of others?
Zhonghua Group has not defeated foreign auto giants and failed to complete the goal of selling cars to the world, how can Han Hao stop and breathe and rest.
Moreover, in reality, all kinds of new technologies and black technologies are waiting for Han Hao to explore, once they are discovered or experienced, it is as exciting as picking up a treasure in the game.
Life is endless, games are endless, this is Han Hao's attitude towards life.
"Heck, when I was playing Civilization, I wanted to rest, but I was always occupied by the next round, and before I knew it, it was dawn. ”
"That's right, I played a game where I was going back in time to be the emperor. In the past, how hard it was to be an emperor, I got up at three or four o'clock in the morning every day to criticize the folds, it was better to stay in the harem and play with the three thousand beauties.
As a result, I found that I was addicted to criticism every day, and ordered to send troops to crusade, help the people, expand the territory, etc., and found that managing a country was much more fun, and the harem or something had already become a cold palace. ”
……
The reporters interviewed exchanged views on this one after another, and found that what Han Hao said was really reasonable.
When attending the celebration dinner that day, Han Hao specially instructed his bodyguards to go out to the Hong Kong shopping street to buy a special gift for him to return to the mainland.
What is it that makes the well-informed Han Hao go out of his way to buy it?
This has to start with his recent trip to the United States.
When participating in the intellectual property negotiation, Han Hao found that his lawyer was holding a mobile phone that he had never seen before, completely abandoning the buttons, which could be easily controlled by just touching with gestures.
At a time when Nokia, Motorola and BlackBerry were dominating the business world, this disruptive mobile phone, which claimed to be at least four years ahead of its peers, became popular among high-end users in the United States in just over two months.
Iphone, a newly released product created by Apple at a huge cost, came to Han Hao.
He had heard about it in the newspaper, but since Apple had not introduced the iPhone to the Chinese market, Han Hao was not familiar with its specific performance.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Hao borrowed the other party's iPhone to play with it during the negotiation break, and found that this is a subversive product, which can liberate people from cumbersome physical buttons.
He immediately asked people to go downstairs to buy a new iPhone for his own research and play, and found that once he used a new mobile phone, he would never want to use his Nokia, which is known as the king of high-end phones.
A more direct experience is that Han Hao imagined in his heart that if such a touch screen technology was applied to the car, then there would be an alternative to the many buttons on the center console.
In the past, a car might have a sofa with four wheels, but in the future, it will evolve into a mobile phone or computer with four wheels.
With a keen sense of technology, Han Hao realized that this subversive mobile phone can also bring more inspiration to the automotive industry.
Since the US iphone is carrier-bound, there is no Chinese system in the country, but it can use 2G signal to make calls and send English text messages.
However, Han Hao still decided to use it as his new spare phone, and also bought one to take back to his wife Chen Lingxi.
Apple is a great technology company, and Han Hao's access to its products is mainly through iPod, which is a tool used by his wife, Chen Lingxi, to play children's music.
Unexpectedly, Chen Lingxi could not stop once she used the new iPhone, although the operating system is in English, and there will be garbled characters when sending Chinese text messages, but the novel touch screen technology makes her feel the joy of scientific and technological progress.
Soon, Chen Lingxi informed that he had bought the latest cracked version of the iPhone from Hong Kong at a high price, using the Chinese system and being available in the mainland.
As a result, the main mobile phones of Han Hao and his wife have been changed to parallel iPhones purchased by others, and they have stepped into the new mobile phone world first.
This time, he instructed the bodyguards to buy 100 parallel iPhones, and Han Hao was ready to go back to the company's executives and technical backbones, so that they could feel the magic of technological changes and use their imagination on how to apply new technologies to cars.
The "Future" pure electric sedan has achieved a subversive replacement compared with traditional cars in terms of power source, but it still follows the template of traditional cars in interior design, and has not made its own innovations.
Han Hao hopes that with the help of touch screen technology, the "future" interior can also be subverted and redefined the car interior.
Only when it is completely changed from the inside out can it truly subvert the traditional new technology car.
Two big men who speak Mandarin in the mainland came to the mobile phone shop on Mong Kok Commercial Street, and asked for 100 cracked iPhones, you must know that due to Apple's lack of production capacity and the popularity of enthusiasts in a small range, the price of each parallel iPhone is equivalent to 12,000 yuan.
If it weren't for watching the big man swipe his credit card, the shop owner would have thought that he was here to smash the field.
Almost the entire commercial street store inventory was dimmed, and it was only enough to gather 82 iPhones, because the landlord's family really had no surplus food.
Although the iPhone is good, it is only circulated in a small area, and its popularity is far from starting.
"Boss, how do you get in? So many mobile phones will be targeted, if you can be trusted, I can help contact and provide ant moving agency services." ”
The shop owner received the money and saw that the two mainlanders were generous, so he thought about seeing if he could earn value-added services.
"No, let's go from above. ”
Pointing to his head, the big man who had counted the excess refunds replied with an expressionless face.
With VIP access to private jets, these iPhones can be boarded back to the mainland as a gift.
Back in Jiangzhou, Han Hao organized a retreat on the outlook for new automotive technologies, with company executives and technology leaders.
There were 75 people present, and the iphones they brought back were just enough to be sent.
Looking at the price of 12,000 mobile phones, which is higher than his monthly salary, many people don't understand what medicine Han Hao sells in his heart.
"This is a new phone that claims to be at least 4 years ahead of its peers, produced by Apple, called iPhone, and I am already a big fan of it.
Nokia believes in 'technology is people-centric', but Apple will use disruptive technology to interpret the reality of 'technology changes life'.
Compared to the iPhone, the Nokia in my hand is like a product of the last century, and it can no longer adapt to the development of the new era. If Nokia doesn't make a change, it's only a matter of time before it's replaced by Apple.
Back to the automobile, disruptive technology may be happening, and new energy vehicles plus Internet technology are very likely to be the next generation of technology.
If we don't embrace new technologies and stick to old ways, we are likely to be replaced by newcomers and become obsolete......"
Han Hao saw a sense of substitution and urgency from the iPhone, and the Zhonghua Group must keep up with the tide of the times, otherwise it is likely to be replaced by a newcomer who suddenly appeared.
In addition to the touch screen for the center console of the car, he talked about the topic of trying to create the framework of a learning organization.
When the company is big, it is easy to suffer from the disease of large enterprises, and it is no longer sensitive to the market, and it is intoxicated with the inherent market share and does not dare to make changes.
Zhonghua Group has been established for nearly 15 years, and according to the life span of a domestic company, it is the same as Han Hao, who is in his thirties, and is middle-aged.
Therefore, to continue to maintain the vitality of the company and create a new type of organization that continues to learn and evolve, which is the focus of Han Hao's management group.
