Chapter 205: This Is This Called Entrepreneurship?

Do you want to start a successful business?

Roy thought that after the B round of financing of Red Coral Company, the entire organizational structure had the illusion of an uncontrollable collapse when it expanded dramatically, and that uncontrollable situation still made Roy feel uncontrollable.

However, it seems that Wang Zhi can't understand the thrill and anxiety that accompanies entrepreneurial success.

Most people know that entrepreneurial success is a fish that slips through the net, as long as it can survive, it is a capital to be proud of, but Doyle deeply understands that survival is only the first step of the company's long march, architecture management, enterprise development, product research and development, marketing, ...... The next challenge, for which there is no right answer, is a CEO's daily lesson.

Roy didn't say anything more, and asked the second question: "Do you know what it means to be successful in entrepreneurship?"

Wang Zhi asked: "How to measure the success of entrepreneurship?"

"The first sign of success is that someone throws money at you. Your company has a valuation because of this, and it may be worth tens of millions, hundreds of millions. ”

"That's good. Wang Zhi's eyes showed a confident excitement.

"After the rejoicing, do you know what these valuations mean?"

"What does that mean?"

That means that you have to rely on your own efforts to turn these expected valuations into real results. It also means: you are on a path of no return!"

Wang Zhi and Yao Mengyu glanced at each other heavily.

Jamie was secretly nervous and anxious, shouldn't Roy encourage his juniors at this time?

Doyle was expressionless.

Roy then asked three questions: "Are you ready to tackle the problem, have you found your core competency, and most importantly, are you tired, will you stop?"

Stop? Wang Zhi obviously didn't think about this question, because he hadn't set off yet.

"Teenager, doing business, tired and wanting to stop, it's very simple, it's just a thought. However, it's hard for you to stop. Because that wealth is locked in the business, it is all kinds of visible and invisible assets, and if you stop, those assets are no longer so valuable in an instant. What's more, the more successful you are, the more people are counting on you to eat. You go out and brag and say we have 30,000 employees now. Undoubtedly, the number of 30,000 means that you are very successful. But it also means that you have 30,000 families on your shoulders, which is a huge responsibility. It's hard to stop you from this responsibility. ”

Speaking of this, Roy thought of Jobs, when he was kicked out of Apple eleven years ago, he was worth more than 100 million, which was considered a success, and he could have closed the mountain a long time ago, but he still struggled in the company every day, and never stopped for a moment, even if he hit his head and bleed, and lost his family, he still did not give up his efforts. Later, he successfully managed Pixar to go public, and his worth was already very expensive, but after returning to Apple, he still spent a lot of time running around the world, communicating with front-line employees, and improving the company's efficiency.

Wang Zhi and Yao Mengyu were shocked, unconsciously with a heavy burden on their shoulders, and there seemed to be some pressure in the process of stepping forward.

Jamie's heart was broken, and he said on the phone at the time that he would let Roy come to the platform, cheer and cheer for the juniors, and now it's okay, Nima, isn't this here to shatter dreams.

Doyle's brows furrowed, thinking of Roy's behavior during this time, the hesitation of the third company to not start work, is he afraid that he can't afford to give up halfway?

"Young people, you can start a business, but you have to know: choosing to be an entrepreneur is choosing a way of life. It's not a comfortable way to live, it's a hard one. On the one hand, when you open your eyes every day, you owe your employees wages. The bigger your organization, the more you owe. The greater your influence, the greater your responsibility, and the more you can't stop. No matter how difficult it is, you can only move forward step by step. A lot of times, you can't see anything clearly, but one thing is clear, and that is change!

"Change is the way of survival of entrepreneurs, and change is not only to change themselves, but more importantly, to change the organization. ”

Roy's words are loud and sound, a real entrepreneur has experienced ups and downs and sighs from the bottom of his heart, everyone can see the glory of entrepreneurs, but it is difficult to deeply feel the pressure of change when the development of the enterprise encounters a bottleneck.

The rapid development of science and technology has promoted huge changes in various industries, and every time a new format rises, it means that there are a large number of old enterprises facing the challenges brought about by social change, and enterprises that are content with the status quo will be eliminated.

When Red Coral rises up, it will be the time when countless video points will go bankrupt; when the development of worry-free payment matures, the banking and financial system will be forced to reform, and countless employees in old positions will lose their jobs; when QR code technology is used in factories, many assembly lines will be forced to streamline......

In this wave of business, whoever stops is likely to be reduced to a low-income group.

Yao Mengyu's face was already resigned, and it was obvious that Roy's words had made her change her original intention of starting a business.

Jamie kept poking his right finger in his left palm, angrily trying to poke the bastard to death, and he already had no hope in this conversation.

Doyle showed a rare look of surprise on her face, she stared straight at Roy, as if she had just met her boss, and her prejudice against Roy's possessiveness had also changed, and she couldn't help but have a strong respect in her heart.

Wang Zhiting's heart swayed, when he had the impulse to start a business before, many problems that he hadn't thought of, problems of long-term planning, and problems that he didn't understand suddenly became clear at this moment.

The desire to start a business was completely aroused, and he respectfully asked, "How can we maintain continuous change?"

Roy walked to the window, looked up at the starless clear sky, and sighed: "Every enterprising entrepreneur is constantly trying to give their 'answers' to their own problems. In a sense, no one knows what the enterprise will become, but it cannot remain the same, and real entrepreneurs know it. ”

The year 1993 was a turning point in the history of Samsung's development. Lee Kun-hee began his lecture series at Samsung's headquarters in Germany in Frankfurt.

His most famous words: Except for his wife and children, everything must change.

It was in this series of lectures that he also put forward the idea that "second place will be forgotten".

In order to implement this concept, Samsung began to adopt a "production line stop system". For a long time, no matter what happens, the production line cannot be stopped, and this is a basic bottom line. Lee Kun-hee used such a landmark event as "the production line stopped" to shake everyone's nerves. When the quality of Samsung's products is in problem and falls behind Japanese products, the production line will stop, which will shake the entire organization and stimulate organizational change.

This is also Roy's confusion, if he wants to dominate the world in business, there is no standard answer, and he can't be 100% sure that his monopoly empire is invulnerable, the only thing he is sure of is that he has to learn a lot every day, keep growing, continue to change, and always stay on the cusp of the times.

Wang Zhi pondered for a long time, bowed deeply, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Roy, your teaching has benefited me a lot, I have made up my mind, this pizzeria-I have opened." ”

Open a pizzeria? This is also a business? You are meowing and teasing me!!

Wang Zhi's answer suddenly pulled Roy out of the master of the fairy wind bones, and Roy asked angrily: "Is this what you call entrepreneurship?"
