The following are the success stories of modern celebrities that I have compiled for you. Let's take a look at how celebrities of our time have made their own efforts to succeed step by step.
success story of modern celebrities 1: Ding Lei
"Life is a process of accumulation, and you will always fall down. Even if you fall down, you should know how to hold a handful of sand in your hand." & mdash; & mdash; Ding Lei
In 23, Fortune magazine published a list of the 4 richest people under the age of 4 in the world. Among them, there were 6 in China, and Ding Lei, the founder of Netease, ranked 14th. In this year's Forbes China Rich List, Ding Lei holds 58.5% of the shares of Netease (the current market value is about 7.6 billion yuan), ranking first in the 23 Forbes China Rich List. But Ding Lei still lives a simple life. It is said that his monthly living expenses rarely exceed 4, yuan.
what kind of person is Ding Lei? Let's explore the story behind his success, and his experiences and experiences are believed to be a kind of reference and intangible force for many people.
An Entrepreneurial Era of Dare to Challenge
After graduating from college, Ding Lei returned to his hometown and worked in Ningbo Telecommunications Bureau. The telecommunication bureau received a good salary after drought and flood, but Ding Lei felt that he had worked very hard in those two years, and at the same time he felt a kind of distress that he could not do his best. In 1995, he resigned from the telecommunications bureau, which was strongly opposed by his family, but his mind was set and he wanted to go out and make a break.
He described his behavior like this: "This is the first time I fired myself. People will always face many opportunities in their life, but opportunities come at a price. Whether you have the courage to take the first step is often a watershed in life. "
he chose Guangzhou. Later, a friend asked him why he went to Guangzhou instead of Beijing and Shanghai. He told a joke: Guangzhou people and Shanghainese are actually the comparison between southerners and northerners. If Guangzhou people and Shanghainese each have 1 yuan in their pockets and then go into business, Shanghainese will use 5 yuan for writers and another 5 yuan to start a company; Guangdong people will borrow another 1 yuan from their classmates to start a company.
When I first arrived in Guangzhou and walked in a strange city, Ding Lei felt the importance of wealth more and more in the face of pedestrians and traffic. The most realistic thing is that three meals a day have to cost money, right? You can't sleep on the street and become a blind stream, can you? At that time, Ding Lei didn't have much money with him, so he had to save money, because he was determined to break the "iron rice bowl" at first, and now he simply won't allow himself to rely on his parents for help when he was cornered. At that time, his greatest wish was to find a job, even if the money was less, it was better than drifting.
I don't know how many companies I have interviewed, and I don't know how many words I spent. With my patience and strength, Ding Lei finally settled down in Guangzhou. In May, 1995, he joined the foreign company Sebyse.
The first days were difficult. Later, a female friend who knew Ding Lei well said that his exquisite "cooking" and "guzheng" playing in the future were, to some extent, the proof of "taking pains" in those days, and it can also be said that this optimistic and hardworking character made him the richest man today.
Ding Lei likes to eat Shanghai food, but at that time, his income was not high, so he couldn't go to restaurants every day. Moreover, many Shanghai dishes cooked in Guangzhou were not original, so he went to the market to buy food and cook in person. Usually he is very busy at work, so he uses the weekend time to treat himself by making a "drunken chicken" or steaming crucian carp.
after working in Sebyse Guangzhou branch for one year, Ding Lei once again had the idea of leaving there to establish an Internet-related company with others. At that time, he could skillfully use the Internet, and became one of the earliest Internet users in China.
It was also an important choice for Ding Lei to leave Sybase, because he was going to a pitifully small company that didn't exist. The only confidence that supports him is that he believes that it will have an impact on the domestic Internet in the future, and he is full of enthusiasm. At that time, except for the investors, he was doing all the technology of the company. Perhaps in 1996, he only had a technical background and lacked enough business experience. Finally, he found that the company deviated from many of his original ideas, so he had to choose to leave again.
in may 1997, Ding Lei decided to establish Netease. Since then, in China's IT industry, Ding Lei has become a highlight. After becoming famous, Ding Lei's demand for money remained the same as when he first came to Guangzhou. He said that if young people spend less money, there may be less temptation, but old people are different. What he is thinking about now is how to find someone who can rest assured and teach his parents to spend money &; mdash; & mdash; Because every time he remits money to his family, his parents save it for him. They think it is not easy for children to earn money outside, and if they hold it, it can be used when he needs it. Up to now, the telephone in my hometown is still cordless, and the kettle for boiling water has not been replaced with a water heater after seven or eight years of use.
?
after Netease moved to Beijing, it has made great improvement in the team building of the company. There are not many shareholders pointing fingers at the back, and there are no negative factors brought by historical accumulation or entrepreneurs themselves. The company has developed rapidly. At the meeting of the company's managers, CEO Ding Lei is often criticized, saying that he did not do this well and that he did not do it right. He always accepts modestly, "Only when someone criticizes can the work be done better".
the wealth era of instant fame
In early 21, Ding Lei's most urgent wish was to sell Netease, but no one dared to buy it. In September, if you want to sell it, you can't sell it. Netease was suspended for 4 months for alleged financial fraud.
Ding Lei is determined to focus Netease's three major businesses on online advertising, wireless internet and online entertainment. Thus, online games occupy an extremely important position in Ding Lei's strategic planning. Since the launch of A Chinese Odyssey at the end of 21, Netease has changed from a "nobody" in the field of online games to one of the giants in this field. Facts have proved that despite the fierce competition in the online game market, Netease's investment has achieved good returns.
Netease succeeded. In 22, short messages exploded in China, and in Internet cafes all over China, young people were screaming and spending a lot of money. After August 22, this company became a profiteering enterprise. Then Netease's share price soared continuously, and the old employees who fled Netease in those days are now sighing.
Now it seems that the suspension event is a turning point in Netease's business. In the early morning of January 1, 22, the Nasdaq Stock Exchange Market Management Committee of the United States announced that Nasdaq planned to resume the stock trading of Netease at 1 am on January 2, 22. The "Netease incident" that has been suspended for a long time suddenly turned around, and Netease was safe and sound after the financial turmoil.
Netease, which has experienced such changes, is now more cautious about financial issues. The accumulation of wealth is the focus of the whole society. Relatively speaking, the Internet and other new economic enterprises have the same background: the operating environment of the enterprises they founded is more standardized than most traditional industries in China, both in terms of their internal management mechanism and external market environment. More importantly, the wealth of these people is extremely transparent and clear, and everyone can see it and make it clear. When Netease jumped from less than $1 to $36 in the last three months, everyone could see Ding Lei's smiling face, that is to say, the process of wealth explosion happened under everyone's eyes.
Ding Lei's personal wealth has soared together with Netease's share price, and Ding Lei's paper wealth has also jumped to the level of 5 billion yuan. His speed of creating wealth is unprecedented in China. Netease has just turned 6, and he himself is only 32.
Many people still remember that in early 1999, Netease was founded more than two years ago, and it was moving towards a portal. Compared with Sina and Sohu, it was still a small website that just emerged. At that time, Ding Lei ran between Beijing and Guangdong, waving flags and shouting for the Internet and Netease, just like an Internet standard bearer. At that time, Internet Weekly also received a contribution entitled "Netease and I". The author Ding Lei carefully attached standard photos and detailed personal files. Now, it is definitely not easy to interview Ding Lei.
times have changed. Ding Lei is tired of using stock prices to calculate wealth. "I can't sell all my stocks at once, and the title of richest man is meaningless.".
An interesting story is that several reporters from a TV station went to Netease to interview and wanted to find an office with sunshine by the window, so the receptionist of Netease recommended Ding Lei's office. The cameraman carrying the machine said, OK, by the way, we can visit the most luxurious office in the Internet industry in China. But the ending of the story surprised the cameraman: it was just a small triangular space, with the same tables and chairs as all the employees, some records and an ordinary desktop stereo. That's all.
A person familiar with Ding Lei said that Ding Lei is not good at managing money. More interestingly, Ding Lei sometimes borrows money from people who go out together, because he has no idea of putting money on him. Since Forbes and Hurun both rated Ding Lei as "the richest man in Chinese mainland", Ding Lei couldn't wait for everyone to forget the existence of Ding Lei.
Embrace the ideal and never give up
In order to achieve one's goals, besides diligence, one must be proactive and innovative. Since he started his business, Ding Lei cares about new technologies every day and closely follows the new development of the Internet. He works more than 16 hours a day, including 1 hours online. He has dozens of mailboxes and receives hundreds of emails every day.
He believes that although everyone has different talents, as a young man, he must first have ideals and goals. Especially for young people, no matter how the work unit changes, it is important to embrace ideals and never give up efforts.
Ding Lei was born in a high-level intellectual family. When he was four or five years old, he was also very naughty, but instead of being naughty outside all day like other children, he liked to stay at home and play with his gadgets: some electronic pipe fittings, semiconductors and the like &; mdash; & mdash; Ding Lei's father was an engineer in a scientific research institute in Ningbo. Later, Ding Lei became addicted to radio, which was largely influenced by his father. In the first day of junior high school, he assembled his first six-tube radio. At that time, it was the most complicated radio, which could accept medium-wave, short-wave and FM broadcasts. This invention was popular in the local area for a while, and it was said that Ding Jia had a "child prodigy" and must be a scientist's material when he grew up.
instead of becoming a scientist, Ding Lei has become a wealthy entrepreneur. However, he still uses his brains in technology. He is a little clever in this respect, but if he does not make positive progress and constantly explore in technology, he will not have the ability of practice and some innovations.
Ding Lei was not a good student when he was in college. Except for the first semester, he worked and slept on time every day. For more than three years, he never went to the first class because he was confused. Do teachers have to teach the knowledge in books? At the same time, he felt that it must be inefficient to go to class before his eyes were opened.
Ding Lei said that after four years in college, his greatest achievement was learning to think. And thinking about this ideology is something that no one can force into it.
Because he didn't listen to the first class and had to do his homework, he would work hard to see what the teacher said in the last class and think hard about what the teacher wanted to convey. In this process, he quickly mastered an important skill, that is, the skill of thinking.
Later, when he came into contact with the Internet, he realized how important this skill was to him, because when the Internet first entered China, no one knew what it was like, and no book systematically told you the whole structure of the Internet, the software in it and other things.
Taking this road, Ding Lei has experienced more difficulties than others. The most bitter day in Ding Lei was September 4th, 21. On this day, Netease was finally suspected of financial fraud because of misreporting its income in 2 and violating the US securities law, and was announced by the Nasdaq stock market to suspend trading with immediate effect. Then there was a personnel shock. Ding Lei has experienced countless sleepless nights, and he was disheartened, but the encouragement of his family played a great role. Father said: how can life not encounter setbacks? It will pass after a while. It is a big deal to start all over again. You are still young, and a little failure experience is not necessarily a bad thing. Suffering finally did not overwhelm him, until June 6, 23, Netease hit another record high: $34.9 per share.
From junk stocks to China's concept of "star" today, the transformation of Netease makes people feel like a myth. In this regard, Ding Lei said: "I am 32 years old, and I have gone from a period of high spirits to a stage of mature thinking. Therefore, my mood will not change with the rise and fall of the stock price, especially I personally will not affect my future life, work and way of thinking because of the amount of wealth. " However, he laughed at the website's selection of "Golden Bachelor" and ranked him third. Successful Story of Modern Celebrities 2: Zong Qinghou
As a successful entrepreneur who started from scratch, what was the entrepreneurial process of Zong Qinghou all the way?
In 1987, the school-run factory lost money because of poor management, so Zong Qinghou contracted the school-run factory and began to practice his entrepreneurial dream buried in his heart for many years. That year, he was 42 years old. Zong Qinghou led two retired teachers to start their business by borrowing 14, yuan and selling soda, popsicles and stationery paper on a commission basis.
in 1988, the enterprise successfully developed and put into production Wahaha children's nutrient solution, and established Hangzhou Wahaha nutritious food factory. Children's nutrient solution emphasizes the real use value and solves the problem of children's anorexia and partial eclipse. Because of its exact efficacy and obvious effect, it quickly became popular in the market, and its products sold well all over the country, and the enterprise stood firm in the fierce market competition.
In 1991, in order to expand the production scale and meet the needs of the market, Wahaha, a small school-run factory with only 1 employees, acquired the old state-owned factory with more than 2, employees at a cost of 8 million yuan. mdash; & mdash; Hangzhou canned food factory. After the merger, Wahaha Food Group Company was established. Hangzhou can factory, which originally lost more than 4 million yuan, turned losses into profits in only three months. In 1991, the output value of enterprises exceeded 1 million yuan for the first time, reaching 217 million yuan. The merger was successful, and Wahaha initially took shape.
In 1994, Wahaha actively responded to the State Council's call for counterpart support for the resettlement work in the Three Gorges reservoir area, devoted itself to the development of the western region, and creatively.
