Wang Jianlin: Only by daring to think can you have opportunities, and only by daring to do can you succeed

I think the most important thing about faith is a kind of courage and bravery. I have seen an advertisement on CCTV called "As big as the heart is, as big as the stage." Many people may think this advertisement is deceptive. In fact, most people who have had careers, especially those who have relatively successful careers, have this experience. Only when you dare to think can you dare to do it, and only when you dare to do it will you have a greater chance of success. How can you succeed if you don’t even try? For example, looking at my own career, one of my main businesses now is commercial real estate, that is, large-scale shopping malls. Urban complexes have never been done in China before. Well, when I first started doing business, I had a lot of failures. I filed 222 lawsuits in the first three years. Because I didn’t know how to do it, I didn’t do it right. I recruited people wrongly, and the contract I signed was flawed. After I sold the shop to someone else, I sold it to someone else. Others came to sue us when their rates of return were not high, etc., etc., and we were tortured. My colleagues and friends all advised me not to go through with it, saying that your houses are selling well anyway, so why bother yourself. I said no, because I think residential real estate is not a long-term industry. Looking at the world, this residential property industry has not been prosperous for more than half a century. The industry has declined after the residential market matured for thirty or forty years, so I said For this century-old enterprise, for the long-term stability of my brothers, because there was a problem back then, there was no social security, the medical expenses of these people in private enterprises were reimbursed and their wages after retirement, retirement had to be solved by themselves, so I think about these What will my brother do when he is 60 or 70 years old? I do this with simple faith, and after years of hardship, I finally came out of it. Including the second thing I did was like movie theaters. When I was doing movie theaters, the box office of national movie theaters was 300 million, and all movie theaters were losing money, but I think it is helpful to my shopping mall. And I don’t believe me when I say that Chinese people don’t watch movies. Now Wanda Cinema ranks first in Asia. China as a whole accounts for about 16 or 17 shares this year. Maybe this rate will increase at a fast rate every year. There are many, many more. Such a thing. This is the so-called faith of courage to start a business. I think the most important question is the courage to think and do. The so-called innovation, what is the biggest characteristic of entrepreneurs? It's creativity. It’s the spirit of innovation. The so-called innovative spirit is a nice word. In fact, to put it bluntly, innovative spirit is the adventurous spirit and the courage to take risks. The ancients have a saying, "Wealth and honor can be obtained through risk." No matter whether you are rich or noble, you cannot get it without taking risks. The benefits are proportional to the risks. The greater the benefit, the greater the risk. Seeking stable profits is the least likely to succeed, so I want to tell everyone about my belief in entrepreneurship. First of all, you must be courageous, dare to venture, dare to do things, and not be afraid of failure. Of course, there are many, many qualities here, and if you can do it, you will be successful. Many people in successful companies are very dull, and many people are successful even if they are introverts. This does not necessarily mean that extroverts are successful. Of course, in modern society, I think the more extroverted you are, the more likely you are to succeed. You find that a common phenomenon in society, whether it is business success, political success, or scientific success, is that people are not the smartest. Most groups are not extremely smart people, nor stupid people, nor stupid people, they are sub-smart people. (Inspirational Quotes Sun) What is so-called smart? It’s not about how high your IQ is or how many questions you answered or how many points you scored in the exam. This may not necessarily lead to success. More importantly, emotional intelligence is your ability to get along with others. If you can tolerate others when getting along, you will gain followers, or you will have more ways to do business, making it relatively easier to succeed. In addition to my courage, it may also have something to do with my restless personality. When I first started doing business, in my first year of doing business, I held a meeting with my employees and said that my goal was to reach 100 million in three years. At that time, the company only borrowed 500,000 to register. When I was in a meeting, one of my department managers named Wang felt that I was cheating. At that time, the words "fooling" the Northeastern people said might not be understandable to outsiders, but they did it quickly.

Later, in 1991, I went to Hong Kong with some friends and stayed at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. There are four buildings above it. There is one of these buildings. They think one building costs a lot of money. Can you do it? I said if you can’t even think about it, you definitely don’t dare to do it. Therefore, I am not satisfied with the status quo. I should say that I am a person who has pursuits and goals in life. Successful people in all walks of life are by no means the best readers or have the highest IQ, but they have the highest emotional intelligence. What is emotional intelligence? In a simple word, it is the ability to get along with others. Because you don’t live in an individual, you are in a social group, you do business and do things, you go to eat, you have to contact and deal with others, and others’ evaluation of you is the basis of your success, not yourself. Evaluate yourself. If you evaluate yourself and say I look down on anyone, then bye bye. If your self-evaluation is consistent with social evaluation, you will definitely succeed. This is the core view of emotional intelligence. There is also the ability to get along with others. What is the ability to get along with others? Of course, this is my own opinion and may not necessarily be an accurate summary. I think the most important thing in the ability to get along with others is tolerance and a broad mind. Now that I have reached such a high level, I have tens of thousands of senior executives and several hundred to close to a thousand. My most important job is to review and select talents. I found that there are many high-ranking executives in my company who end up doing If you don't reach a high place or leave, the important reason is that you have a high IQ and a low emotional intelligence, and you can't integrate with others. Things can't be done by one person. You don't need to take care of it if you are in charge. You can take care of ten people. One person can do ten things. Live? These people have done so much work, and the leader seems to be his ability. People will not say which deputy is capable, but this leader is nothing, and people will not see it that way. The first thing is to be tolerant and broad-minded. The second personal experience I have is that you can’t be stingy or petty. You have to be generous in making money in business, entrepreneurship, or entrepreneurship. It’s absolutely difficult to succeed in petting. Others who cooperate with you once will not cooperate with you a second time. People who plot against others end up plotting against themselves, which is in line with the old saying "It's not as good as God to plot against man." The second thing is to be generous. The third one is having strong communication skills and being able to win over people and be popular with them. If you start your own business, you can get ten or eight people in the company to be obedient and willing to hang out with you, 90 out of 100 people willing to hang out with you, and 800 out of 1,000 people willing to hang out with you. Even if some people are here temporarily, most people are willing to hang out with you and are willing to hang out with you to create a sense of cohesion and have a much greater chance of success. Because emotional intelligence is a big topic, I have read more than a dozen books on emotional intelligence. It would take too long to talk about it. Let me briefly mention three things.
