Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 565 Invitation

Qu Li felt that he had been named the Central Financial Person of the Year without doing anything this year, and he did not feel that he was worthy of it. The boss and CEO of two real estate companies, Wanda Wangke, received this honor at the same time.

Well, the main reason is that a certain Yang Yuanqing is also among them, which makes people think...it's not bad. After all, the company has grown so big. If Qu Li hadn't cheated and hugged him all the way, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today.

Although 10 people were named Persons of the Year, there were more than 10 entrepreneurs participating in the event, and there were also some miscellaneous awards.Qu Li was worrying about who to find to attend his New Year's Eve speech, and he made up his mind when he arrived at the event.

One is COFCO’s Lin Gaoning, who is also one of the Persons of the Year. He was transferred from China Resources to COFCO and managed this large state-owned enterprise with great success; the other is Sinochem’s Ren Jianxin, who built the company by himself and “gifted” it to the country. .These two state-owned enterprise bosses have one thing in common: they are both good at mergers and acquisitions.

The former is mainly domestic, and the latter is mainly abroad. Last year, it acquired the world’s seventh largest pesticide manufacturer and distributor: Israel’s Maxim-Agan Industrial Co., Ltd. for US$24 billion. A few years later, it acquired the world’s largest agrochemical company and The third largest seed company in the world: Swiss Syngenta.

Qu Li met Lin Gaoning during the Mengniu crisis. They were not friendly at first, and they did not have much contact with each other later. It is possible that Lin Gaoning would easily stumble him, but it is a pity that Qu Li's extraordinary development speed has broken everything. Tradition.

"Why do you want to invite me?" Lin Gaoning said with a smile.

"I just want to listen to the teachings of my seniors." Qu Li

"I don't dare educate you."

"Seniors have been able to achieve outstanding results across multiple fields with strong market competition..."

"No matter what, I am not as good as you. I will gather beauty first and then glory!" Lin Gaoning sighed. Entrepreneurs like Qu Li are scarce resources in any country. A leader who has just taken up an important position recently quoted the words "fulfill your wish" when remembering the martyrs. "The lyrics of "Chinese Dream" raised the "Chinese Dream" in public and talked about glory and promising future.

"I may be good at pioneering, but how to deal with increasingly complex corporate organizations and how to lead this huge organization to move forward are my weaknesses." Qu Li and Lin Gaoning chatted about corporate management and exchanged their experiences.

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, at least they started social activities. Qu Li became familiar with some of the rules of the game for the operation of state-owned enterprises, and Lin Gaoning learned how Qu Li managed two technology companies at the same time.

"My purpose is not to increase my control over the company, but to improve the company's innovation capabilities and operating efficiency..." Qu Li has always hired people based on their ability, and Ali hired people based on loyalty, so they use "official committee" constraints. Qu Li's control over Jumei Glory relies more on institutions and system construction, and it is inherently difficult to cultivate capable people who are "loyal" to him.

Lin Gaoning's heart surged. A person's success may be luck, but the birth of a great company and entrepreneur always has a logic behind it. Qu Li's "natural" pattern and courage are not comparable to everyone.

Finally, Lin Gaoning agreed to Qu Li's invitation to attend his New Year's Eve speech.

Qu Li then went to chat with Ren Jianxin, while Lin Gaoning chatted with a certain Liu Chuanzhi and talked about Qu Li.

"It is impossible to be defeated. No one can predict what will happen in the future, unless he is someone who likes to brag and talk but has no real ability. But the success of Glory cannot be said to be all the result of Lei Jun." Lin Gaoning persuaded Liu Chuanzhi to let him not Hold a grudge

"He is a rare young talent. I will put aside the grudges I had at the beginning."

"The superiors value young entrepreneurs like him very much and think that he is a representative of the Chinese dream. They don't want everyone to have conflicts." Lin Gaoning

As they were chatting, Ren Jianxin was very surprised by Qu Li's visit. He had no communication at all before, and there should be no cooperation in the future. Why is this?

"I would like to invite you to my New Year's Eve for a casual chat. Let's see that our country has extraordinary outstanding entrepreneurs in different industries."

"What kind of outstanding company am I?" Ren Jianxin said modestly.

"You have done a very good job in choosing the timing of overseas mergers and acquisitions and integrating resources after mergers and acquisitions. Most companies have turned losses into profits in a very short period of time." Li Li praised the new president Ren Jian without hesitation.

"That's ridiculous. I'm not as good as you said." Praising always makes people happy. Mr. Ren happily started chatting with Qu Li.

There are many stories about Mr. Ren, such as Beijin’s Malan Ramen. After he made his first pot of gold in starting a business, he turned a private enterprise into a state-owned enterprise. However, Sinochem’s management is closer to that of a private enterprise.In addition, Mr. Ren respects the culture and independence of the acquired companies overseas, which means that foreign companies are still foreign companies, and taxes, profits and technology may not remain in China.

Mr. Ren was also very curious about Qu Li. This young man created a Fortune 500 company in just a few years, oh, maybe two or three.Once may be a miracle, but twice or three times can prove the entrepreneur's ability.

"Jumei has just started to make some progress. How dare you go overseas to set up companies and directly compete with the world's best e-commerce companies?" Mr. Ren asked other questions of concern.

"I didn't think much about it at the time. The Internet is inherently open. No matter where we go, our business logic will not change: prices, products and services."

"And Amazon had already entered the Chinese market at that time. It was a normal choice to defend the enemy outside the country. In the future, we have to fight anyway, so we might as well choose a battlefield ourselves."

"Aren't you afraid of failure? Then you might lose control of Jumei."

"I had achieved financial freedom at that time. Even if Jumei went bankrupt, it would not be affected. Instead of setting up a mediocre Internet company, I would rather take the initiative to pursue glory. Even if I can only shine for a moment, my life will not be in vain. Live." Qu Li showed a slightly ambitious expression.

"If you had chosen to become a private entrepreneur before, you might be worth tens of billions now, and you wouldn't have to be constrained in the country..."

"At that time, the domestic market environment was not like it is now, and becoming a rich man was not a good choice."

"Then give you another chance?" Qu Li didn't want to discuss the past issues.

"It should still be the same, but I will do better. Being a state-owned enterprise gives me a bigger stage." Mr. Ren

The exchange between the two was very pleasant. Before the acquisition of Syngenta, Mr. Ren’s status in the world was not high. Even after acquiring Syngenta, he was picked off by Lin Gaoning during the merger of the two companies and lost the chairman of Sinochem. position, retired.

Ren Jianxin finally agreed to Qu Li's invitation to give his New Year's Eve speech.
