But you know, Ma and Liu.

You may not have heard of him.

But you should have heard of Tencent, JD.COM, Didi, Meituan, Midea, Gree and Blue Moon.

Brands such as children Wang Hejiang.

It can be said that without this person, there would be no later Ma and Liu.

There is no such brand.

This man is Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei was born in Zhumadian, Henan.

His father is a civil servant.

Mom is a lawyer.

Two busy people.

There is no time to discipline Zhang Lei.

This also contributed to his independent personality.

At the age of seven

Zhang Lei, who lives in the railway station, showed his business talent.

Look at the pedestrians coming and going at the railway station.

Zhang Lei came up with an idea to make money.

Rent your comic books to people waiting for the train.

Through this method

Zhang Lei made the first pot of gold in his life.

What makes people laugh and cry is that

When Zhang Lei, who is business-minded, was promoted from elementary school to junior high school,

Only one point higher than the rated score.

Thanks to this.

Otherwise, we will seldom see famous brands.

Second year of high school

When others are discussing what project to choose.

Zhang Lei, by chance,

Read a book "Das Kapital"

Began to be fascinated by finance

When the companions around him saw it, they all felt disdain for it.

Even the teacher can't understand what the child is thinking.

Zhang Lei suffered cold shoulder and isolation.

It may be influenced by the history of China Academy of Sciences and Professor Tsinghua University.

And I don't want to see my partner's cold eyes.

Zhang Lei became very hard.

That year, Zhang Lei proved himself.

Become the champion of Henan liberal arts.

When everyone was thinking about how to relax and where to play that summer vacation.

Zhang Lei is considering how to make money.

Of course, continue to expand his "book industry"

So he bought some magazines.

Then change hands.

In this way, Zhang Lei made a lot of money again.

Zhang Lei in college.

Read a lot of books on finance.

I met many alumni.

This also established a good network for his later investment.

After graduation, Zhang Lei got his wish to work in a central enterprise-Minmetals Group.

In this company

Zhang Lei needs to travel all over the country to collect mineral resources.

Zhang Lei, who has been running around all day, has developed a very keen insight.

I also met many foreign customers.

As more and more customers start to talk about it.

Zhang Lei feels more and more that his development is limited.

He has the idea of studying abroad.

Insist on finance

Zhang Lei chose to go to Yale University for further study.

Yale is a top university with a history of 300 years.

Five American presidents were born before and after.

This is also because Zhang Lei was short of money.

Yale can offer scholarships

done

Zhang Lei came to Yale.

I understand that Yale only offers one-year scholarships.

When you need to bear the later expenses yourself.

Zhang Lei started his journey of making money again.

I interviewed a lot of jobs during this period.

Then, by chance,

I got an internship in Yale Investment Office.

The chief investment officer at that time was David Svencen.

Who can compare with Buffett at that time?

Zhang Lei became a student of Svencen.

Later that day,

Svencen found that many of his views coincided with this yellow-skinned and black-eyed China man.

I started giving everything for each other.

Zhang Lei didn't let his mentor down.

After graduation

Zhang Lei works in a financial company.

He has many resources.

Also face the choice of work and entrepreneurship.

Zhang Lei chose the latter.

Where to start a business?

The voice in my heart pointed out the direction for him.

Return to China!

2005

Zhang Lei, who returned to China, is 33 years old.

I should be married at this age.

He chose to start a business

Zhang Lei took 2000 dollars from his tutor.

Established Gaoling Capital.

Subsequently, 1000w was added.

For most private equity funds

This one is smaller.

Put all the eggs in one basket at the same time.

This is what Zhang Lei wants to express.

This year is a magical year.

For Zhang Lei, it is also colorful.

Many internet companies have sprung up this year.

For example, 58 cities and car home.

Senior investors all know what August 5th of that year means.

It is the day when Baidu is listed on Nasdaq.

The share price soared from $27 to 120.

Ma Hua Teng wept with joy.

identical

It was also that year.

Zhang Lei found Ma Hua Teng.

He took a fancy to the potential of Tencent.

At that time, QQ had been covered, and it is predicted that it will be more comprehensive in the future.

With the continuous rise of Tencent's share price

Zhang Lei proved himself with years of keen insight.

You may lament his luck.

Or admire his courage.

The following are the highlights of his foresight.

20 10 year

Liu is in trouble.

The company's profits are worrying

Want to build a logistics system

Liu improves the efficiency of online shopping

I found Zhang Lei on a forum.

And put forward his own ideas.

I hope Zhang Lei can participate and invest.

Liu, this originally needed 75 million dollars.

Zhang Lei suddenly increased to $300 million.

Because in Zhang Lei's view,

7500w is simply not enough to support and establish a complete logistics system.

"Either invest 300 million or not at all."

done

Under the foresight of Zhang Lei,

Three years later, JD.COM successfully went public.

At that time, $300 million soared to $3.9 billion today.

Later, at the suggestion of Zhang Lei,

Choose JD.COM to cooperate with Tencent.

Let WeChat open the first-class entrance to JD.COM.

Form a win-win situation for all three parties.

In addition, Meituan, Gree, Jiang, and Blue Moon.

Behind these well-known brands

Zhang Lei's handwriting is behind them.

And Gaolin Investment 16 years.

Completed the leap from the initial $20 million to the current $60 billion.

Become a leader in the private equity industry.

Today's high-tech investment involves scientific and technological innovation, life and health, enterprise services and other fields.

They pay special attention to those enterprises with potential long-term investment value.

Zhang Lei also wrote the book Value.

Business people strongly recommend it.

In this book, Zhang Lei quoted famous sayings from ancient books to explain his investment views.

Such as "keeping the right and using the strange", "peaches and plums don't say anything, there is a way next time", "weak water is three thousand, but take a gourd ladle" and so on.

Tell investors how to choose investment according to their own personal experience.

undoubted

Also very low-key

He has amazing courage.

Dare to put eggs in the same basket

Also dare to let time prove the value of the enterprise.
