In the 2003 ranking of the world's 40 richest people under 40 years old launched by the US "Fortune" magazine, 6 people from mainland China were on the list , NetEase founder Ding Lei ranked 14th. In this year's "Forbes" China's Richest List, Ding Lei holds 58.5% of the shares of NetEase (current market value is approximately RMB 7.6 billion), ranking first in the "2003 Forbes China Rich List". But Ding Lei still lives a simple life. It is said that his monthly living expenses rarely exceed 4,000 yuan.

What kind of person is Ding Lei? Let us explore the story behind his success. His experience and experiences are believed to be a reference and invisible force for many people.

The era of entrepreneurship with the courage to challenge

After graduating from university, Ding Lei returned to his hometown and worked at the Ningbo Telecommunications Bureau. The telecommunications bureau maintained its income despite droughts and floods, and the salary was very good. However, Ding Lei felt that the work in those two years was very hard, and at the same time he felt distressed that he could not make the best use of his talents. In 1995, he resigned from the Telecommunications Bureau, which was strongly opposed by his family, but he was determined to leave and wanted to go out and have a try.

He described his behavior this way: This is the first time I have fired myself. A person will always face many opportunities in his life, but opportunities come at a price. Whether you have the courage to take the first step is often a watershed in life. ?

He chose Guangzhou. Later, a friend asked him why he went to Guangzhou instead of Beijing and Shanghai? He told a joke: Guangzhou people and Shanghai people are actually a comparison of southerners and northerners. If the Guangzhou people and Shanghai people each have one in their pockets, One hundred yuan, and then start a business, then the Shanghainese will use 50 yuan for home expenses and the other 50 yuan to start a company; while the Cantonese people will borrow another 100 yuan from their classmates to start a company.

When he first arrived in Guangzhou, walking in an unfamiliar city and facing the numerous pedestrians and traffic, Ding Lei felt more and more the importance of wealth. The most realistic thing is that you have to spend money for three meals a day, right? It’s impossible to sleep on the street and become a homeless person, right? At that time, Ding Lei didn’t have much money with him, so he had to save money because he was determined to break the iron rice bowl. ?, now I simply cannot allow myself to rely on my parents for support when I am desperate. At that time, his biggest wish was to find a job. Even if the money was less, it was still better than wandering.

I don’t know how many companies I went to for interviews, and I don’t know how many words I spent. With my patience and strength, Ding Lei finally settled down in Guangzhou. In May 1995, he joined the foreign company Sebyse.

The initial days were difficult. Later, a female friend who knew Ding Lei well said that his subsequent superb cooking skills and guzheng playing were, to some extent, the result of those days. A clear proof of "enjoyment in hardship", it can also be said that this optimistic and hard-working character has made the "richest man" today.

Ding Lei likes to eat Shanghainese food, but at that time his income was not high and it was impossible to go to restaurants every day to enjoy himself. Moreover, many Shanghainese dishes made in Guangzhou were not authentic, so he went to the market in person Buy groceries and cook by yourself. He is usually very busy at work, so he uses his weekend time to reward himself by making "drunken chicken" or steamed crucian carp.

After working at Sebyse Guangzhou branch for a year, Ding Lei once again came up with the idea of ??leaving there to co-found an Internet-related company with others. At that time, he was proficient in using the Internet and became one of the earliest Internet users in China.

Leaving Sybase was also an important choice for Ding Lei, because at that time he was going to a pitifully small company that did not exist before. The only confidence that supports him is that he believes that it will have an impact on the domestic Internet in the future, and he is full of enthusiasm. At that time, in addition to investors, he was responsible for the company's technology. Perhaps in 1996, he only had a technical background and lacked sufficient business experience. Finally, he found that the company deviated from many of his original ideas, and he had no choice but to leave again.

In May 1997, Ding Lei decided to found NetEase. Since then, Ding Lei has become a significant figure in China's IT industry. After becoming famous, Ding Lei still maintained his tough style when he first came to Guangzhou when it came to money requirements. He said that if young people spend less money, they may lose the same temptation, but the old man is different. What he is thinking now is how to find a trustworthy person to teach his parents to spend money? Because every time he remits money to his family, his parents give it back. He kept it. They thought it was not easy for a child to make money outside. If he kept it, it could be used when he needed it. Up to now, the phone in my hometown is still cordless, and the water boiler has not been replaced with a water heater for seven or eight years.

After NetEase moved to Beijing, it has made great improvements in the company's team building. There are not many shareholders dictating behind the scenes, and there are no negative factors brought about by historical accumulation or entrepreneurs themselves. The company has developed rapidly. In the company's management meetings, CEO Ding Lei is often criticized, saying that he did not do this well or that he did wrong. He always accepts it humbly, saying, "Only when someone criticizes can we do a better job." Sharing Examples of Persistence and Success Part 2

Brother Chang is from Taiwan. We met three years ago. Inspirational story: Persistence. One day he called me from Taiwan and said he wanted to order 200 PetTrainingCollar. I felt baffled. I had just entered the pet supplies business. How did he know that I was doing this? When hesitating, he said that he would go on a business trip to China on a certain day in a certain month and asked me to prepare the goods and deliver the goods. Since he agreed to come in person, there was nothing to doubt. I prepared all the goods and waited for him to come.

Half a month later, he called and said that he and some friends were visiting Chenjiang, Huizhou, and wanted me to deliver the goods to the hotel where they were staying. With a few friends? I was worried and didn't want to let this opportunity go. After thinking about it, I thought that since it was in mainland China, there should be no problem. I was confident enough to drive the goods there alone. After meeting him, I realized that my worries were unnecessary. Brother Chang was in his forties and looked very kind. He took a look at my goods and gave me the money without saying anything. Then we had dinner together and went to a nightclub to sing after dinner.

They sang a few Mandarin songs and then Hokkien songs. I don’t know anything about the Hokkien language, so my humming sounds like a mosquito, more like crying. They sang the song all night long and I looked sad all night long. During the whole night, I only vaguely understood one sentence: "The path Ruan chooses must persist until he succeeds." He asked me if I understood what they were singing. I shook my head and imitated this line. He pointed his thumb and said that a hero's opinion is that as long as you persist in anything, you will succeed. He also said that the song was called "Perseverance". So that's it.

Later, Brother Chang came to the mainland every two months to purchase goods, and occasionally asked me to pick up some goods. Gradually we became acquainted with each other, and it can be said that he was both my guest and my friend. Every time we go to KTV, he always insists on singing "Perseverance". It made my ears get calluses, and later I couldn't help but complain about why he kept singing this song, and it was so uncomfortable to hum. Every time I complained, he always smiled faintly. Next time I came to the mainland, my nephew would still hold a lantern and sing "Persistence" as usual. I continued to complain and said to him that you have persisted for two or three years and I can’t hold on any longer, but he still smiled. I think he not only sings in nightclubs in mainland China, but also sings in KTVs in Taiwan. He also said that after singing a song for several years, do you still feel it? He frankly said that he does, although it is the same song. Every time I sing a song, I have a different feeling. No wonder, I have nothing to say.

It wasn’t until 2009 that I hired someone to develop a pet product but it failed. I lost all the money I had earned over the years and was in debt. I really couldn’t do it anymore and planned to change careers. I told him my troubles online, and Baoqian said that I would no longer be able to supply him with goods. He asked me if I still remember that he sang the song "Hold On" every time he went to a nightclub. I said that I will remember it until my death. He said that since he remembers it, then just stick with it, and also told me why he always sang this song if I kept coming.

He and his company are relatively well-known in the pet supplies industry in Taiwan. His achievements today are the result of ten years of persistence. Ten years ago, he was in a mess and almost had his wife and children separated. At that time, he also thought about giving up. It was the song "Perseverance" that made him grit his teeth and push through. For the past ten years, every time he went to a nightclub, the KTV would sing "Persistence" to keep him from giving up and falling. I was silent, how much courage and perseverance it takes to sing a song for ten years. The reason why he finally survived was not because of singing this song, but because of the new feelings and realms created by insisting on singing this song. It was the new opportunity he found after every failure. Thinking about it on the other hand, although I have lost money and am in debt, my wife has always been with me through thick and thin. When I come home from work every day, I can see the innocent and pure smiling faces of my children and eat hot meals. What do I have to complain about? When we face difficulties every day, will Tiantian answer us? Will the Earth Society help us if we keep calling for it? Even though the sunshine of the policy is good, it will not shine on everyone. In the most difficult times of life, What better choice do we have besides perseverance?
