Recently, when attending the lecture hall for entrepreneurs of Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management, Wang Jianlin was invited to give a speech on "Innovation and Competitive Advantage-Taking Wanda as an Example", which kept his humor.
? Twenty years ago, Wang Jianlin, the 34-year-old director of the People's Government Office of Xigang District, Dalian, took over the predecessor of Wanda Group, Dalian Xigang District Housing Development Company, which opened the prelude to today's Wanda business empire. He said that he was not only a scholar, a book and a foreign country, but he dared to do whatever he wanted. "This is the most important thing. Nothing can be done without it."
Courage alone is not enough, but also persistence. Wang Jianlin said that all innovations will face failure and there will be a perfect process. Many people give up after one or several failures. Only by perseverance can they finally succeed. In Wang Jianlin's view, China lacks many factors, such as the means of production, but what it lacks most is entrepreneurs. He is worried about the entrepreneurial rate of college students in China: "Less than 1%, which is one tenth of the world average. There are more than 30% college students in the United States, and the world average is more than 10%. How can such a low entrepreneurial rate produce entrepreneurs? How can you realize your dream? "
Wang Jianlin wants to tell today's young people that it is not enough to have dreams, but also to take the first step bravely. As he often said, "Tsinghua Peking University is not as bold as it is", "If you try, you may be half successful and half unsuccessful, but the chance of success if you don't try is zero". Wang Jianlin also supported young people in China to start businesses with practical actions. He was the first person to set up a venture capital fund in China. At first, he cooperated with others, and later independently established Wanda Venture Capital Fund, which supports 100 college students to start businesses every year.
The most respected entrepreneur
Wang Jianlin and Ma Yun bet 654.38 billion yuan, which is so well known that when Wang Jianlin answered the question of "the most admired entrepreneur", he mentioned the names of Liu Chuanzhi and Ma Yun, and everyone present was somewhat surprised. Wang Jianlin's evaluation of Liu Chuanzhi is quite high, and most of these evaluations are related to his personality. For example, "Lao Liu is a real entrepreneur leader, who is decent and fair, and dares to call a spade a spade when making mistakes with friends." He stressed: "This is very rare, and many people will only say compliments. Therefore, (Liu Chuanzhi) has won everyone's support. "
Wang Jianlin also has every reason to admire Ma Yun, who, as he said, is "innovative, active in thinking, innovative in new business models, and has set a good example among young people". At this point, he paused and added, "It is both a challenge and an impact on the real economy". There are no eternal friends, but there are no eternal enemies. At the end of last year, Wang Jianlin took the first step to cooperate with Ma Yun and let Wanda Cinema settle in Alipay. At this moment, talking about the gambling game that day, Wang Jianlin downplayed: "That was actually a joke."
Among foreign entrepreneurs, Wang Jianlin admires Bill Gates the most. He called Gates a "social entrepreneur" and regarded him as the highest realm of entrepreneurs. However, in terms of asset inheritance, Wang Jianlin said that although he would follow Gates' example, he would still keep the cultural tradition of China people, and would not leave only $6,543.8+0,000 to his children. "My idea is to keep some, maybe 10%, and we are applying for other funds."
Cultural empire
Wang Jianlin mentioned Avatar many times on different occasions, which is his favorite movie. He was deeply impressed by the shooting time of Avatar 14 years and the budget of nearly 500 million dollars. More importantly, the appearance of this film has promoted the promotion of imax technology around the world. "Before this, the number of imax screens in the world was less than 200. In the following years, the number of IMAX screens in the world was close to 10000." "I dare not say that [Wanda] has made such great achievements in technology, but we hope that Wanda will promote China culture with its own actions and some successful things, and hope to gradually hear the voice of China in the world cultural industry, especially the film industry." Wang Jianlin said.
At present, Wanda is building the world's largest film industry base in Qingdao, and also has its own production company, distribution company, international film festival and the largest number of film terminals in the world. Wang Jianlin said that before 2020, Wanda will definitely become one of the top cultural empires in the world in six to seven years or even five to six years. Especially in the film industry, we have unique advantages in the world, but how to turn our advantages into future competitiveness is what we need to think about.
