Chapter 589: The Next Thirty Years (Part I)
……
"It is said that you even pushed interviews with Time magazine and Forbes. But is there any special reason for choosing to participate in our show this time? ”
Wang Zheng nodded.
"I don't like the spotlight too much on my private life, so I pushed a lot of interviews and invitations. But this time, Brother Ma found me, and I also think that today's show is good, and it may have some positive impact on the development of the country. So he convinced me, and I followed him. ”
"It seems that the director of our program group should thank Mr. Ma Yun well. Without him, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to invite the world's hottest business stars to our show right now. ”
Ma Yun, who was mentioned, smiled, but didn't say anything more. However, the host obviously didn't intend to let him go so easily.
"We all know that Mr. Ma Yun and Mr. Wang are very good friends, so do you have any evaluation of each other?"
After Wang Zheng and Ma Yun glanced at each other, the former smiled and said, "Let Brother Ma speak first!" ”
Since I was asked, I was not polite when the horse arrived.
"If you want to evaluate, Wang Zheng is undoubtedly a very talented person. Moreover, he is bold, careful, and very calm when encountering problems! Over the years, I have hardly met a few young people who can compare to him in these aspects. ”
"Isn't there a drawback?" The moderator asked.
"Of course there are drawbacks! For example, 'otaku'. I've never met a young entrepreneur who was able to stay at home for months without leaving the house, and he did! Ma Yun laughed.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Ma said that you are 'homely', do you agree?"
"Recognition!"
Wang Zheng smiled and nodded.
"Really? Can you explain why? Chen Hongwei became interested.
"It probably has something to do with my personality! I'm a person who likes to be quiet, and home is often the quietest place. In addition, the scenery of Taoyuan Mountain Resort is beautiful and pleasant, so I rarely run around. ”
"What about your career? Don't you need to go down to inspect or run for the development of your company? ”
"Absolutely. However, the Internet and telecommunications are very advanced now, and I don't need to do everything myself. Moreover, I am a person who believes in one thing: 'professional things should be done by professional people'. Now that I've chosen the CEO of the company, I'm going to let them have the most autonomy. Make the best use of your talents. I just need to control the general direction of the company's development and not deviate from the goal! ”
"I see. … I know that every company has its own corporate culture, so does Mr. Wang's corporate culture allow the first person in charge of each department to have the greatest degree of freedom? ”
"It's about having the most freedom within the prescribed range. I've always thought of 'freedom' as a relative concept. Freedom is not the same as doing what you want. ”
Chen Hongwei nodded.
"I think many people know that some time ago, the famous American financial magazine "Forbes" announced that your net worth is 15.5 billion US dollars. As a result, Hurun Report, another internationally renowned wealth magazine, believes that you have 302.3 billion Chinese dollars, which is worth more than 45 billion US dollars. Which of these two numbers do you think is more accurate? ”
Obviously this is a sensitive issue. But Wang Zheng said at the beginning, as long as it doesn't involve his own private affairs, he can ask about anything else. So, after being asked, he didn't get angry.
"You asked me about that. In fact, I don't know how much money I have. I've never done any statistics about it! After a little silence, Wang Zheng shook his head.
Wealth, especially in money, has always been a sensitive thing. Wang Zheng is well versed in the truth of 'wealth is not exposed'. On the bright side, he will never reveal his true net worth.
"However, a week ago, Mr. Ma Yun's Ant Financial signed a contract with your 'Barillaju Chain Restaurant Company' for 12 billion Huaxia coins for 6% of the shares. Now the business community generally believes that your net worth is more than 300 billion Huaxia coins. Even Forbes admits that they weren't strict about your wealth statistics before, and there was a big problem with the last one. I'd like to give you another special issue! How do you understand this? ”
"Nothing special. Forbes, Hurun Report, and The Economist, including The Economist, each financial magazine has a different count on my wealth. Moreover, I don't think the wealth list has much to do with me. Being ranked high doesn't mean I really have that much money! And I've always believed that money doesn't equal wealth! Wang Zheng said calmly.
"And what do you think is real wealth?"
"If the medicine that we are developing in Shennong Technology can reduce the infant mortality rate to zero and solve the congenital diseases of many newborns, I think this is wealth; If the charity education program of Qinhan Bank and Jubao can allow more young people from poor families to receive a good education, I think this is wealth; If the low-interest loans provided by GCA Fund can help more young people realize their dreams, I think this is wealth; If my company can contribute to the development of the country and the rejuvenation of our nation, I think it is an asset. If my companies can develop more new technologies to help people get out of the planet, I think that's an asset. And money is not equal to wealth, money is just a means to pursue the wealth I want! ”
Wang Zheng's eloquent words were not high-pitched, but they were full of idealistic firmness. Combined with his age, it gave the surrounding audience, including the audience, as well as Ma Yun and others, a deafening shock.
After putting away his slightly stunned look, Chen Hongwei, as the host, took a deep breath and looked at the calm and determined young man in front of him with a look of admiration.
"Whoa...!"
With the applause of the host, soon the entire studio resounded with thunderous applause.
People always admire those who have great ideas. Moreover, Wang Zheng's words at this time did change many people's views of him before.
"What a great explanation, and I think that's why Mr. Wang was able to achieve such great results in such a short period of time!"
Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head, "It's part of the reason." And, I can't remember where I read a word. It says this: the beginning of any great result is born out of selfishness. When I first started my business, I simply wanted to improve my social status and have the affluent life and better future I desired. But when these things were realized, the status of the pursuit of money declined, but it was the responsibility of entrepreneurs, the responsibility of being a Chinese, or the responsibility of people, and these things began to become things that I considered. ”
What he said has some elements of scenes. Of course, there are some of his real thoughts now. If you use a summary to summarize what Wang Zheng is thinking now. That is, in his heart, he is still the first. However, while being selfish, he is also willing to do his best to fulfill the responsibility of a Chinese.
He always believes that 'self-interest can benefit others first', and if you can't even take care of yourself, no matter how great your ideas are, they will only cause trouble for others.
"From selfishness to selflessness, from ordinary to great. I think the vast majority of people are transformed like this! In addition, I would like to take the liberty of asking, has Mr. Wang implemented some of the measures you just mentioned about wealth? ”
"Absolutely! Charity for young people, now we have been doing. The 'Innovation Factory', which was established in cooperation with the Chang'an Municipal Government, will be able to provide many young and middle-aged entrepreneurs in three months. Moreover, if their project is good enough, they can also apply for a low-interest loan of more than 500,000 yuan from Qinhan Bank. In addition, our company itself has also increased its investment in scientific research in biotechnology, electronic technology, new energy and new materials. Now, there are good results! ”
"Can you tell us more about your achievements in scientific and technological research and development?"
"Absolutely! However, I noticed that there was a 'personal presentation' section at the end, so I'll talk about it in detail when the time comes. ”
"Okay, let's look forward to Mr. Wang's wonderful speech later."
After making a summary with applause again, Chen Hongwei temporarily stopped his visit to Wang Zheng, after all, there are other people here, and time is limited, so we must take care of everyone as much as possible. However, Wang Zheng is the focus of this visit. After all, compared to Ma Yun and others who often appear in the media, Wang Zheng is too unfamiliar, and too many people have too much curiosity about this young man who rises like a comet.
"Mr. Liu, JD.com is doing vertical e-commerce, and Times Mall, a subsidiary of Times Group, is also doing vertical e-commerce. And relying on more and more offline 'Golden Eagle Center' and 'Times Square', as well as an increasingly complete distribution system, it has gradually become the fastest growing vertical e-commerce in China, do you and JD.com feel the pressure? ”
Liu Qiangdong sat next to Wang Zheng, and nodded with a smile after glancing at Wang Zheng when he heard this.
"Of course it's stressful, and it's a lot."
"Does JD have any specific measures to deal with it?"
"Of course there are detailed measures. But the core point is that we hope to win more customers with better service and safer products. I believe that as long as we do well enough, no amount of competition will only make JD better! ”
"Mr. Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Zheng nodded, "I also agree with Mr. Liu's words. Businesses that are afraid of competition will not have eternal success. I hope that Times Mall can compete with JD.com, as well as Tmall and Taobao. We are not afraid of competition, and competition in the same industry will make Times Mall greater and more vigorous! ”
"Mr. Ma Yun, what do you think?"
"What they said was exactly what I wanted to say. Competition makes a business greater! ”
