Selected entrepreneurial stories of corporate celebrities

A real entrepreneur can't just run around boldly, nor can he preach in college classes. He must grow up in the tide of market economy and temper in the wind and rain. The following is what I arranged for you, I hope it will help you!

Chapter one: Ma Yun's entrepreneurial experience.

Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, is known as the "godfather of entrepreneurship". The hardships of starting a business and the glory now make this outstanding entrepreneur have an endless aura. Let's take a look at Ma Yun's entrepreneurial story and listen to his entrepreneurial experience, great dreams, business philosophy and life sentiment.

Alibaba is undoubtedly a miracle in China's Internet history, which was created by Ma Yun and his team.

But when Alibaba started its business, it didn't have much money, 500 thousand, which was pieced together by 18 people. 500 thousand, it's all their money However, it is this 500,000, but Ma Yun shouted such a declaration: We want to build the world's largest e-commerce company and rank among the top ten websites in the world!

That is 1999. During the period of 1999, the Internet in China has entered a white-hot state, with foreign venture capitalists investing wildly in China Internet companies and Internet companies burning money crazily. 500,000 yuan is only a small advertising fee for such large portals as Sina, Sohu and Netease. Alibaba's start was quite difficult. Everyone's salary is only 500 yuan, and the company can't wait to spend half of it. Go out to work, carry forward the spirit of "going out on foot" and rarely take a taxi. It is said that once, everyone went out to buy things, and there were many things. There is no way out, so they have to take a taxi. On the way, everyone waved to a taxi. When a Santana arrived, they waved their hands and stopped sitting. They have been sitting in a Li Xialai, because the cost per kilometer in Li Xia is cheaper than that in Santana, 2 yuan.

Alibaba used to be almost unsustainable because of financial problems.

Eight years have passed.

On June 6th, 2007, 165438+ Alibaba was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a market value of US$ 20 billion, making it the largest Internet company in China. Ma Yun and his entrepreneurial team have created the greatest miracle in China's Internet history.

Most people who want to start a business in China are the same. They think of thousands of ways at night and get up in the morning to take the same way. They are better than Yun Qiang.

Much smarter, they can come up with many good ideas for starting a business, but they never implement them. Because they have too many excuses and reasons.

"I have no money." They all think so.

So, they continue to live a mediocre life.

Seeing the speech at the opening ceremony of Peking University in 2008, I was particularly moved to say such a passage at the end of the speech. He said:

A person's life is a life of struggle, but some people live a great life and some people live a trivial life. If we have a great ideal and a kind heart, we can pile up many trivial days and turn them into a great life. But if you are mediocre and have no ideal every day and stop making progress from now on, then your life will always be a pile of trivial things.

After reading it, will you still make excuses for starting your own business without funds or anything else? What you have to do is: think of it and do it at once!

Cloud, as long as you work hard, there is nothing you can't do in the world!

Article 2: The personal experience of Miracle, the godfather of entrepreneurship

Miracle is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in China. 10 years, as CEO, he founded Ctrip, Home Inns and Hanting, and brought them to Nasdaq. Jim clark, an American Silicon Valley entrepreneur, is by far the only person in the world who can achieve this hegemony. Unlike Clark, who once founded SGI, Netscape and Yongjian, the market value of these three companies in Miracle has exceeded 1 billion dollars.

During 1999, Miracle, who is "doing a little business", and his friend Liang Jianzhang had a drink. They discussed the establishment of a travel website. Subsequently, Liang Jianzhang found Shen Nanpeng who "invested money" everywhere on behalf of Deutsche Bank, while Miracle pulled in Fan Min, the owner of the state-owned hotel, with carrot and stick. From the very beginning, the four alumni of Jiaotong University defined their respective shares in the spirit of contract, and set up the personnel structure according to their respective experiences.

This is almost a "perfect match" combination: Miracle, who was born in a private enterprise, has the ambition to develop; Shen Nanpeng from Wall Street is good at financing; Liang Jianzhang, who is engaged in IT consulting, is rational, good at grasping the system and has a long-term vision; Fan Min, who was born in a state-owned enterprise, is good at management and has a balanced relationship in all aspects.

At the beginning, Miracle undertook the most important task-the other three companies didn't really "go into the sea" until the second round of financing of $4.5 million was put in place. Six months later, when Ctrip found the profit model of "booking hotels and air tickets", the positions of four people were subtly adjusted for the first time: Miracle was transferred from CEO to co-CEO, and then to president, and Liang Jianzhang, who is good at internal fine management, was the sole CEO.

In the project of booking hotels, Liang Jianzhang found that hotel rooms from 200 to 300 yuan have a good market among business travelers. At his suggestion, Ctrip and BTG invested in budget hotels such as Home Inns in 2002. Miracle, a recognized entrepreneur among the four, was once again sent to fight for the country. In two years, Miracle lived in a basement in Beijing and painstakingly managed 38 hotels in Beijing and Shanghai. At this moment, the board of directors of Home Inn "invited" to Miracle, and Sun Jian, the former vice president of B&Q, became their ideal CEO.

Shen Nanpeng has publicly stated that inviting you to Miracle is "the most suitable thing for your hometown". "He can start his own home, but when it reaches a peak and needs to expand from 20 to 30 to 200, we need a professional manager who knows how to operate in a chain to lead the enterprise."

In The First Team: Home Inn and Ctrip, Zhu said: From Ctrip's founding to Home Inn, the four-person team of Liang, Shen, Ji and Fan is the most complicated new enterprise in China, with the most job changes and handover, but it is also the most stable one with the least rumors. "They set an example of an efficient team for China enterprises and finally won the victory."

"There must have been contradictions between us, but they are all technical conflicts. After all, our values, personalities and strengths are different. The success of Ctrip and Home Inns in those years was not only good luck, but also because of the differences among the four of us. " Miracle, who has his own career, will also miss the days when four people walked hand in hand.

Chapter 3: The entrepreneurial story of Buffett 1 1 years old.

1In April 1942, Buffett, who was 1 1, began to buy stocks on a small scale: he bought three popular urban service stocks at a price of $38 per share. This was his net capital at that time. Buffett also persuaded his sister Doris to invest with him. He lost his stock at $40 per share, and after deducting the commission, he made $5. Buffett has been paying attention to the changes in the stock market, calculating to maintain a favorable average price, and buying and selling stocks at a price higher than the average price. He has realized that his estimation of the stock market is much sharper and smarter than others. 1943 65438+ 10, their family moved to Fort fredericks, Virginia, but for Buffett, he felt as if he had been uprooted and very depressed. So, the next month, Buffett returned to Omaha to live with his grandfather and aunt. Unlike many children who run away from home, his running away from home is related to business. He ran to hershey, Pennsylvania, intending to make some money by finding and picking up balls for golfers on the golf course. At the same time, he has another idea, that is, to help patrol Hershey chocolate factory and get a piece of chocolate for free.
