Chapter 171 August 23 "Three Generations" of Private Enterprises

After so many years of reform and opening up, the private economy has gone through three stages, forming three generations, and the people involved in each stage are different.The first stage is the marginal population plus the children of cadres; the second stage is the business of the whole people, with a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and everyone goes into the sea; the third stage is the stage of wealth creation. In fact, the most important thing is some elites, industry leaders selected from the market. These people are equivalent to coming to the Juyi Hall in Shuibo Liangshan.One hundred and eight generals, everyone has a unique skill, for example, Shi Qian is a unique skill in stealing things, and Zhang Shunlang's Bai Tiao is a unique skill.Today, everyone possesses unique skills and extraordinary achievements, and they gather together to become the main body of the business community and the mainstream of private enterprises.

Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, my country's private enterprises have experienced three generations in terms of generational division. The first generation was from 1978 to the early 1990s, and this period can be called the "pre-corporate era".At that time, the main characteristics of doing business in society were self-employed + government-owned.The self-employed, also known as Daoye, basically do simple trade, or open a restaurant, nail a shoe, or sell a piece of clothing.The big one is the government's dumping, dumping steel, approval documents, and cars. They engage in trade in a monopoly manner.

This stage should be said to be a very primitive market economy stage, and non-governmental commercial activities are more like going to the rivers and lakes, so this era can also be called "the era of rivers and lakes" rather than the era of companies. The second generation of private enterprises is the "corporate era", which is actually from the early 1990s to 2001.The so-called company era means that since the "Company Law" was established, all entrepreneurial and business activities are carried out in the form of companies. Those who came out to do business at this stage were mainly government officials who went to sea, capable people in rural areas, college students, graduate students, and people who returned from studying abroad. They became the main body of business operators in the entire company era.These people understand policies better, have stronger organizational skills, professional skills, learning skills, stronger sense of competition, and stronger awareness of risk-taking.Therefore, the company era quickly eliminated self-employed and government-owned companies, and at the same time gave birth to a large number of large-scale and high-level good companies.

The third generation of private enterprises, from 2001 to the present, has actually entered an "era of wealth creation", and the most important accelerator of wealth creation in this period is the capital market.Many of them became national and global industry leaders, and some large and mega-corporations began to emerge.Due to the emergence of these large companies and the amplifying effect of the capital market, the leaders of large companies, including shareholders, have become rapid aggregators of wealth.They quickly became the third generation of businessmen and became a dominant force in private enterprises in the market economy.

In the different stages of the three generations of private enterprises, the first stage relies on fathers to make money; the second stage relies on courage to make money; the third stage relies on strategic management and talents to make money.Relying on different things, the characteristics and culture of the companies in the three eras are completely different.The market is becoming more and more sound, the third generation of private enterprises will be the mainstream, and the first two generations will be less and less. In the face of changes, the first generation of private enterprises must learn to organize, and the second generation must turn a vague company into a transparent and sunny company before they can enter the third generation.The first generation will die because they cannot run a company, the second generation will die because the original sin has not been cured, and the third generation will die because of business skills.
