2065438+In July 2008, I officially joined Gree Electric.
20 1812 Mr. Dong took time out of his busy schedule to share and communicate with the new college students on 2018. I am honored to sit behind Mr. Dong and listen to Mr. Dong's speech in front of the podium.
After graduating from college, society provides a big stage for our graduates. At this time, it is up to you how to get there. How to gain a foothold in this society, how to keep yourself away from secular utilitarianism and make long-term plans for the future. At this time, listening carefully to the teachings of the elderly may help us avoid detours in the future and be of great benefit to us.
Thanks to this lady who is over 60 years old but with a 25-year-old mentality for sharing with our new college students on 20 18. She stood for two hours and forty minutes without taking a sip of water. Next, I'd like to write down my own four thoughts on Mr. Dong's speech.
Ms. Dong Mingzhu joined Gree Electric from 199 1 and achieved the first marketing performance in the whole company in the past four years. Talking about her first job as a shop assistant, she said that she was very simple at that time. She just wanted to do a good job as a shop assistant and didn't have much selfishness to do other things.
Therefore, she will focus most of her energy on the improvement of her business ability and seldom spend time thinking about the rise of her career. However, some of her colleagues who joined the company at the same time are half-hearted, some are half-hearted, some are trying to please leaders for promotion, and some are colluding with suppliers for money.
At that time, I heard an impressive sentence: "I don't want to be the sales minister at all." I just want to do a good job in sales, and I even want to do sales for a lifetime. " Because of their outstanding business ability, several companies offered salaries several times higher than Gree's, but she refused.
I have worked in Gree Electric for three months. As far as I know, some people quit because they can't stand the internship in the branch factory. Some people quit their jobs because they think their wages are low. Because the reality is not the same as expected, there are people in the new group who spit out negative energy all day.
In the process of complaining, spitting and resigning, we may forget the opportunities that this big platform can bring. Take my finance department for example, because of the opportunity of job rotation, you can improve your professional skills seriously and attentively within three years. As long as you study hard, you can learn all aspects of financial work. After three years, you have a great chance to be sent to a subsidiary as a financial manager. In addition, the finance department of a big company is completely different from what I saw in my previous internship in the finance department of a small company.
Teacher Wu Jun once wrote in the Letter from Silicon Valley that "everything in the world is fair, but stupid people only see the monitor in front of them, but they can't see the balance beam and the weight hanging above everything". This sentence tells us that we should look at things with the eyes of the balance beam above us, instead of clinging to the monitor in front of us.
Whenever I want to complain, I will ask myself, if the salary given to me by the company is W, can I create more value than W? The answer isno. At present, we have only been employed for three months, and we are still in the learning stage, and even the company pays for it. The company will pay us when training us. Every time I think about it, I complain a lot less.
"You just graduated today, and the company gave you a salary of 5,000 yuan. Do you think the salary is low? Tomorrow another company will pay you 6000 yuan, and you will resign. The day after tomorrow, a company offered 8000 yuan, and you jumped ship again. So you began to give up the opportunity to precipitate yourself for these thousands of dollars. If your pattern is only a few thousand dollars, then you will accomplish nothing. " At the alumni association, an accomplished senior told us about the new graduates.
Writing here, I suddenly remembered another sentence in Wu Jun's Letter from Silicon Valley: I found that both in China and the United States, there are more people who care about 20% salary than those who pay attention to their own growth, thus leaving opportunities for ambitious people.
Mr. Dong talked about his work as a salesman in the fourth year. He has earned millions of dollars a year. At that time, she didn't want to be the sales minister at all. On the one hand, salespeople earn more commissions than ministers with fixed salaries. On the other hand, being a minister is really an offence.
In the past, when I understood that "successful people are often lonely", I would think that successful people are often working alone. Today, Mr. Dong showed us another kind of loneliness, that is, as a company leader, we should stress principles rather than human feelings. Because she stresses principles, refuses to befriend, refuses some requests from relatives and friends, and is strict with subordinates, so she is often lonely.
When Mr. Dong was a salesman, he had a good personal relationship with many colleagues. But as her status rose, she became more and more lonely.
Many times, our changes are not subjective, but because of our position. Thinking of the rural doctor created by Mo Yan in the novel Frog, it is precisely because she is in the post of family planning that life has changed her from a "goddess who sends children" admired by thousands of people to a "monster who kills without blinking an eye" that everyone spurns, showing how much influence professional posts have on people.
In recent years, Gree has begun a diversified process, from an air-conditioning manufacturing enterprise to an industrialized group. However, Gree has always been dominated by manufacturing, whether it is the "Yinlong Automobile" that is hotly debated by the public or the "Gree Mobile Phone" that has been criticized. From this point of view, Mr. Dong's original intention of "Made in China" has not changed.
On the other hand, nowadays, many big companies do what they make money. Real estate is real estate when it makes money, and finance is finance when it makes money. Blind expansion will eventually lay a hidden danger for the company's development.
From our personal point of view, there must always be some persistence and some persistence. I met some excellent craftsmen in Gree Electric. They are all deeply involved in their respective fields. Even if they are rich or expensive, they are respected. They also met some highly educated researchers. They are not ignorant of finance and real estate to make money, but are willing to stick to it in the manufacturing field.
There are many lectures and courses on the internet that will tell us that "manufacturing is a low-income industry and should go to a more promising industry", thus making the manufacturing industry a mess. There is nothing wrong with this book, but if we can find a job in the industry we really love, then we will be very happy, even if this industry is a manufacturing industry that others don't think highly of.
What this era needs are great craftsmen who love and focus on their own fields and scientific and technological personnel who devote themselves to research. This era does not need speculators who go to any industry to make money.
When talking about the recent stock market turmoil, Teacher Dong said: "In the capital market, it is speculators who make money by the rise and fall of stock prices. Real investors should rely on the company's dividends, and Gree Electric is such a worthwhile enterprise. At the beginning, it raised 5 billion yuan from the capital market, and now the accumulated dividend has exceeded 40 billion yuan, and there are still 3.6 billion dividends to be distributed to shareholders in the second half of this year. If you have spare money, you can safely hold Gree shares. Even if the market is not good now, Gree's dividend will never let you down. "
Teacher Dong's words refreshed my understanding of stock investment, but it makes sense to think about it carefully. Many times we make money by the ups and downs of the stock price, which in itself shows that we are speculators. A real investor, if he is optimistic that a company will often hold its shares for a long time, will naturally catch up with the benchmark date and get dividends.
Investment guru Buffett famously said: If you don't want to hold a company's stock for 10 years, then you don't need to hold 10 minutes. After all, a real value investor is willing to hold a company's stock for a long time without being affected by the temporary fluctuation of the current market, which in itself shows that he is optimistic about the company, so it is possible to make profits through dividends rather than stock price rise.
May we all settle down.
