Chapter 30 The quality of choosing a real entrepreneur in the 8th session of the main text is not stability and humility

The quality of a real entrepreneur is not prudence and humility, but full passion and self-confidence. Player profile Zhang Yanlai, 32 years old, from Shandong, bachelor degree.He used to be a middle school teacher and a civil servant. In 2003, he resigned from public office and went to sea to start a business. He founded an ecological breeding company and is currently the general manager of the company.Zhang Yanlai's goal is to open up a new model of China's ecological breeding industry. player project statement My project is "pig crèche".my country is a traditional pig-raising country. In 2006, the number of pigs slaughtered nationwide was 680 million, accounting for 50.1% of the world. However, the traditional pig breeding model is far from meeting people's requirements for food safety. Patterns are bound to take their place.

My project is such a standardized and large-scale pig breeding model. First of all, we invest 1 million to build a pig trusteeship. The farmers raise pigs in the piggery. But the whole process is managed by us, including providing unified feed, unified sales, etc. We only charge 50 yuan per pig management fee.In this way, a yearly net income of a pig dragging station is at least 200,000. At present, we have established a breeding base with an annual output of 50,000 pigs, and the operation mode is quite mature, which has been unanimously recognized by the government and farmers.We also plan to build 10 pig care centers within two years, gradually expand the scale, and strive to help ordinary people develop standardized breeding businesses.

live playback Yu Minhong: Your resume says that after graduating from school, you first taught, and soon you worked in the township government, and successively served as secretary of the township youth league committee, director of the admissions office, and director of the party and government office. As far as I know, these are all important positions what.So I think if you have been on the road of official career, you should have a bright future.Then why did you come out to start a business in 2003?Is it the temptation of profit?Do you still feel that you have no hope in your career? Zhang Yanlai: It should be said that there are many reasons.

Yu Minhong: Let me talk about the two main reasons first, shall we? Zhang Yanlai: I had worked in the government for 3 years, from the Secretary of the Youth League Committee to the Director of the Admissions Office and the Director of the Party and Government Office. The leaders also recognized me, but I always wondered, I am still young, can I come out and do something... … Yu Minhong: You keep changing jobs in a short period of time, and the jobs are more and more important.Generally, under such circumstances, people as young as you will never come out.You still talk about the main reason.

Zhang Yanlai: I am about the same age as our chairman, and young people have a common language.When I was the secretary of the Youth League Committee, he often participated in our activities. I felt that he was a person with ideals and a bright future.Later, in the communication with him, I gradually had the idea of ​​starting a business, but I was not mature enough. Yu Minhong: Was it his personality charm that attracted you all of a sudden? Zhang Yanlai: I was gradually infected by him. Yu Minhong: Didn't you get a little money when you were the director of the admissions office, and you came out because you were afraid?

Zhang Yanlai: Absolutely not. I am facing a national audience now, so I promise to be responsible for every word I say. Yu Minhong: Well, I guess it's because pigs are easier to manage than people. Zhang Yanlai: Each has its advantages. Yu Minhong: It’s good to be able to go to the sea. When you start farming, you raise sows and piglets first, and then sell the piglets when they are big. Why don’t you raise breeding pigs? Zhang Yanlai: Of course there are breeding pigs, otherwise how would a sow give birth to piglets? Yu Minhong: I would like to ask you a digression. Will there be any possibility of inbreeding when you have more and more pigs?

Zhang Yanlai: This problem does not exist.First of all, 30% of the sows in each batch must be eliminated. Secondly, we breed by combining natural mating and artificial insemination, so there will be no inbreeding. Yu Minhong: Let me ask you another question. Both you and your chairman have entered the top 36. Compared with him, what do you think is your advantage? Zhang Yanlai: My advantage is that I can bear hardships and stand hard work. In addition, as the general manager, I have relatively strong execution ability. Yu Minhong: So if a matter comes to a final decision, will he listen to you or you listen to him?

Zhang Yanlai: Of course I listened to him. Yu Minhong: Do you listen to him no matter what?What do you think is his greatest strength? Zhang Yanlai: He has more ideals. He started his business at the age of 17 with 5,000 yuan and developed step by step. At the age of 24, he opened a feed company... Yu Minhong: We all know his history.Why don't you do it yourself? Zhang Yanlai: It should be said that his vision and realm are higher than mine, which is very attractive to me, so no matter what happens in the future, I think he is a person worth relying on. Yu Minhong: So if you got the financing this time and he didn't, would you go back and talk to him about the shares again?

Zhang Yanlai: It should be said that there are two of us standing here in the same company, which fully proves that our team is excellent.Last night he called me and said, don’t affect me because he didn’t get promoted this time, he said don’t be nervous, don’t exaggerate, just show your nature, in fact it doesn’t matter if you get promoted or not, at least you represent the company and the whole Shandong Entrepreneurs are here. Yu Minhong: You didn't answer my question. I mean, you won but he didn't. After you get the money, will you go back and talk to him about the shares again?

Zhang Yanlai: We decided this before we came here. If we get venture capital, we will tie up all the trusteeships together and cooperate with Mr. Xiong. Yu Minhong: There is another small question. The 19th is your boss. He did not win when he entered the top 12 from the top 36. Are you disappointed with him? Zhang Yanlai: I think he showed his true side. Yu Minhong: So you are not disappointed? Zhang Yanlai: No. Comments by Yu Minhong You know how to help your subordinates very well, and you also know how to maintain the prestige of the leader. It is probably related to your training in the government. This training has also cultivated your very good ability to handle affairs and speak. You are the most meticulous in thinking among the four contestants , The most logical, I think you are a good manager and executive, but I have not seen the quality of a real entrepreneur from you, this quality is not prudence and humility, but sufficient Passion and confidence.

I would encourage you to continue to work with your boss, because you can complement each other: he has passion, but his thinking is not rigorous, and he is definitely not as good as you when interacting with people.And you should give yourself more courage, more persistence and adventurous spirit.
