Chapter 50 public interest

Wang Shi's character quality is also very interesting, one of which is called selfishness.When Wang Shi talks about helping the world and social responsibility, he doesn't shy away from personal needs. He is very open and upright, which is different from many people.He never pretends to be a "wolf with a big tail". It's not that he emphasizes public morality and ignores self-interest.He said very clearly: I am very happy to take social responsibility. Doing good deeds should be done as soon as possible, but I personally need what I want, such as wages and bonuses. For example, I have to consume what should be consumed normally.

I remember meeting a reporter once who asked Wang Shi: You go climbing all the time, why don't you save the money to start a Hope Primary School?He said that you are wrong, I have my normal consumption needs, I do public welfare because of public welfare needs, I have a lot of needs, I will do my needs when I have the ability, I can’t say that my income is all Just do this one thing.So he does not shy away from personal needs.I think he is very frank and can be called selfish.What he should do is public. By creating value for shareholders, serving the society, and doing public welfare for the public interest, he promotes social progress, and at the same time enhances personal value, satisfies personal sense of accomplishment, and expands his own space for activities.Unlike some people, he taboos personal consumption when he talks about public welfare, and he doesn't talk about public welfare when he seeks personal gain. However, he is very public and private, and he is completely able to unify the two things together.

Just like when he ran Vanke, he did a good job in all matters involving public interests in Vanke. The noblest, truest, and most imitable sentiments.In the choice of "fame and fortune", he chose a name. As he himself said, he has a desire for expression and vanity, which is his frankness and truthfulness.He said that he does not take profit and puts his self-interest behind. This is a very cute side.Because of that, you feel like he's real, confident, super confident.In fact, we are also like this in our society. The public has private interests, and the public has private interests. These two things are unified, so the ancients said: "Is it not because of selflessness? Therefore, selfishness can be achieved." Often the more you benefit In the world, the more you become yourself in the end.You seek happiness for people, and people say you are a great savior. Isn't the two things unified?Pursuing happiness is your "grand duke", becoming a "savior" gives you a sense of accomplishment, and because of the praise of others, you have achieved your selfishness.Therefore, public and private are mutually reinforcing and mutually causal.I think Wang Shi is very well unified in this respect.The grand duke has selfishness, he is the grand duke, but the little private does not give up, and finally fulfills the satisfaction of the small private with the pursuit of the grand duke.

In 2006, Wang Shi earned more than 30 million yuan in salary, bonuses and stock options.The so-called Dagong means that Vanke’s turnover in 2006 exceeded 20 billion yuan, its profit exceeded 2 billion yuan, and its stock market value reached 70 to 80 billion yuan.Wang Shi is not the kind of person who pretends to be a grandson every day if he doesn't want what he should, so his character is very real. Wang Shi is particularly strict with himself.For example, in matters of money, a lot of his money is managed by his secretary. How each money is used, including how his sister and his family distributes the money, is strictly controlled by the secretary, and it is transparent and audited every year.In China, not to mention entrepreneurs, even ordinary managers cannot achieve this kind of self-discipline.He changed from an entrepreneur to a manager, and he has overcome his greed for money; at the same time, as a manager, he put himself under the supervision of the system.It is not easy for people to be self-disciplined in terms of money, and ordinary people cannot do it.Most people want to be the boss as soon as they start a business, and once they become the boss, they will get confused about the accounts in the company.Therefore, it is very commendable for Wang Shi to be able to do this.

When Wang Shi participated in mountaineering and outdoor activities, he paid for it himself, and of course friends and sponsors also paid for it; for activities like crossing the North Pole and Antarctica, he even put his own money in for others .Once, the "Good Day" cigarette factory sponsored an activity to go to Antarctica. After they paid the money to an expedition service company, they planned to let Russian planes pick up personnel and supplies, but they did not expect that the expedition company went bankrupt, and the money was taken away. drifted.As a result, the sponsor was left there, and it was a dilemma. If you want to continue the project, you have to pay for the lease of the plane.Wang Shi told the sponsor at the time: "Because we still have to go, can you please pay the rest of the money first, if the advance payment cannot be recovered, I will compensate you personally, that is, I will compensate you with my money, so I guarantee you will not lose it." In the end, the money was indeed not returned, and Wang Shi personally paid more than one million yuan to the sponsor.In fact, this trip to Antarctica is not for him alone, there are a group of people participating.He has always been very transparent about money. He never spends more than a penny from the company. He usually uses his own card first, and deposits his personal money when doing business for the company. clearly.

Wang Shi donated all the money he earned from advertising in the past few years, and he didn't take any money.The first commercial he shot was for Motorola, and the other party gave 2.5 million, and he said he would donate it.One day he called me from the vicinity of Baita Temple and told me to go over to eat hot-boiled mutton.After I went there, I saw him with a group of people from the Mountaineering Association. After eating and drinking, the table was removed. They took out two pieces of paper, and then Wang Shi signed them, and then gave them a check of 2.5 million. .Only then did I realize that the purpose of eating this meal was to donate money.In recent years, he has donated all the income from advertising and endorsements other than salary income, but he did not talk about these things every day. He has long been involved in social welfare undertakings, because he has long been used to self-discipline, He didn't like money, so he just dealt with it like this.In the first 17 years of starting a business, Wang Shi earned an average of less than 100,000 yuan a year; when he donated his first advertising revenue of 2.5 million yuan, his annual salary was only 300,000 yuan.He suddenly had 2.5 million yuan in money, but he didn't keep a cent, and donated it all, which shows his transcendental realm.His self-discipline in money is beyond ordinary people.

Wang Shi is also very self-disciplined in outdoor activities, which reflects his ability to manage himself.Self-discipline is managing yourself, not leading others.For example, when we went to climb Taibai Mountain, he carried a heavy bag, but he still took care of me a little bit.At that time, I took his backpack and asked him why it was so heavy. He told me that it was filled with bricks.He insisted on carrying more weight, to train himself in this way.No one asked him to do this, but he has been carrying bricks and maintaining a certain walking speed while carrying bricks, so as to "manage" his spirit and perseverance so that he will not slack off when climbing mountains in the future.When we crossed the Great Gobi, he also stuffed things into his bag and carried out conscious weight-bearing exercises.He never loosened his grip on himself.Once Wang Shi and I were in Haba Snow Mountain, and we all went out to play, trying to seduce him, and we asked him to come out and chat for a while, but he just didn’t come out and didn’t give everyone face. He has to keep his energy.As soon as other people heard that it was lively and lively, none of them would not come out.He also tries not to drink water when he usually walks. He wants to control his body's demand for water to ensure that he can cope with the water shortage environment when climbing mountains in the future.

Wang Shi's strict self-discipline and ability to manage himself confirms one point: greatness lies in managing oneself, not leading others.So we want to be a good company. The most important thing for every leader is to manage himself, not to lead others.If you manage yourself well, lead by example, teach yourself by example, and teach others by example, you will surely succeed in your career.
