Agricultural giant since 1983

Chapter 482 30 years

2008 is a special year, not only the prosperity of the Olympic Games, but also an important historical stage of the [-]th anniversary of the reform and opening up. During this year, the government and the people held various grand commemorative activities. An iconic figure in the economic world is naturally the focus of reporters, and there are countless reporters who want to interview him.

Usually, Li Lei asks the publicity department to connect with them for interviews, so he doesn’t need to do it himself, but this person who came today is not an ordinary reporter, but a well-known financial writer. Seeing his name, Li Lei A moment of interest came, so he was invited in.

"Dong Li, long time no see." Wu Xiaobo greeted Li Lei after he came in. He graduated from the Chinese Department of Fudan University in 1990, majoring in journalism. Wu Xiaobo interviewed Li Lei many times when Li Lei went to Lu Guanqiu and supported Alibaba when he was working in the Hangzhou branch of Xinhua News Agency.

The two parties can be regarded as having some friendship, so Li Lei gave him the opportunity to meet this time, and invited him to sit down and chat with each other while drinking tea.

Wu Xiaobo has a clear plan for his life. Before the age of 30, he never considered the issue of money, and concentrated on being his own reporter. From the age of 30 to 40, he began to make personal original accumulation and complete his personal writing plan. At the age of 40, he prepared retire.

In the past few years as a reporter for Xinhua News Agency, Xinhua News Agency has allowed reporters to conduct interviews and investigations all over China regardless of the cost. Its strong background allows its reporters to meet people they want to meet. Therefore, Wu Xiaobo interviewed many business missions, which served him later. Writing financial articles lays a solid foundation.

After working for Xinhua News Agency for several years, he began to write column articles for Hangzhou Daily, commenting on some strange current situations of China's economy in the transition period. Favored, become a signed writer of Bertelsmann Asia.

He regards the history of Chinese companies and humanities and finance as the objects of exploration. He has written the MBA textbook "The Great Defeat", which is known as China's first writing failure case. In this book, he lists Jianlibao, Germany Long, Brilliance, Kelon and other influential companies, and made a deep analysis of their failures. With detailed information, rigorous analysis and sharp writing, it became a bestseller once it was published, and Wu Xiaobo also realized financial freedom. , You can give up work and devote all your energy to writing.

After chatting for a while, Wu Xiaobo took out his new book and asked Li Lei to correct it, and explained his purpose of coming, "When I was a visiting scholar at Harvard Kennedy School a few years ago, I had an idea. The year is so glorious, especially for the Chinese nation that has been silent for a hundred years, it carries the glory and dreams of too many people, and it is also accompanied by many regrets, I feel that I have an obligation to record these."

"In the past 30 years, there have been three kinds of forces in the Chinese market: state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, and foreign-funded enterprises. A history of Chinese enterprises is basically a process of these three types of enterprises ebb and flow and mutual games. The division of interests and the resulting industrial and capital structure finally formed the appearance of China's economic growth! But after finishing the book, I found that there are still many unsatisfactory places!"

"The domestic economy has changed rapidly in recent years, and many conclusions that were originally affirmed in the book have now been overturned! So I plan to revise this book. As an iconic figure in the business world during the 30 years of reform and opening up, I I can’t get around you in writing this book, so I want to have a good chat with you and learn more about what happened back then!” Wu Xiaobo regretted that he originally wanted to use this book "Thirty Years of Stirring" as an introduction to the reform and opening up. 30 years of commemoration, but now it seems that there are still many flaws in the book.

Li Lei roughly flipped through this book, and the general content is indeed different from the ones he has read. In addition to his own experience, the evaluations of other entrepreneurs are also different. It happened that the official media also came to interview him during this time. Li Lei took this opportunity to sort out the materials at hand, took Wu Xiaobo back to his home, and showed him the original materials in his study.

"This photo was taken by Mr. Liu Yonghao and I from New Hope in Zhongying Street in the special zone. At that time, he went to Guangzhou to buy goods. I was going to look for opportunities in the special zone. I happened to meet on the train, and then we came to the special zone for inspection together! Li Lei opened the photo album and showed Wu Xiaobo the photos he took back then.

"This is Wang Shi. Liu Yonghao and I met when we visited Zhengdakang. We chatted for a while, so we decided to go to the food stall for a drink and continue our chat; look, the TV outside the food stall is still playing "Fearless", The pineapple beer that is popular in Guangdong is on our table, and now the factory that produces this beer has been acquired by Huinong! After the acquisition, I also specially sent them some beers."

"Oops, I'm so late! What a historical source, if only I had seen it before I started writing 30 Years Awake! These photos are perfect for illustration!" Seeing the photos, Wu Xiaobo sighed excitedly.

"It's not too late now, anyway, you plan to revise it again, and just use it when you revise it in the future." Li Lei continued to show him photos, and showed Wu Xiaobo a photo of himself touching a child's head, "Your child Do you know who it is?"

"I don't see it very clearly." Wu Xiaobo compared this child with the images of entrepreneurs he was familiar with one by one, but he couldn't find a similar candidate.

"President Ma of Tencent, next to him is his father. His father was in charge of shipping affairs in the Special Economic Zone at the time. Huinong also had this need, and then we met! At that time, he still wanted to be an astronomer, but he didn't expect to be an astronomer now. Became the founder of an Internet company; oh, by the way, I don’t seem to have seen Tencent mentioned in your book!”

"I think compared with Internet companies such as Netease, Sohu, and Alibaba, Tencent doesn't have much to write about." In Wu Xiaobo's view, Tencent is just a small company, and it is not qualified to compete with the ones written in his book. Those businesses are tied.

"I am very optimistic about Tencent. I think the market value of Tencent will exceed the sum of NetEase, Sohu, and Alibaba in the future, and this time will not be long. By then, you may write a book for Tencent alone!" Li Lei It reminds me of the "Tencent Biography" written by Wu Xiaobo in the future.

Wu Xiaobo didn't believe it at all. He couldn't imagine how a company that makes chat software could make its market value exceed that of today's booming portal websites and e-commerce platforms. When you see something you like, you borrow it and add it to your book as an illustration.

"This one doesn't work. If this one is sent out, Mr. Liu will have to turn against me!" Seeing that Wu Xiaobo fell in love with a certain photo that Liu Yonghao took for him when he was in Chongqing, Li Lei quickly refused.

Wu Xiaobo didn't know why, but he didn't insist. After looking through all the photos, the two used these materials to chat about Huinong's family history. While chatting, Wu Xiaobo had an irresistible idea Come on, "Dong Li, I wrote a biography of Mr. Wu during the period between writing this book "Thirty Years of Stirring". All the controversies of economic theory after the founding of the People's Republic of China, starting from the evolution of his thoughts, can outline the rough curve of China's economic reform concept; but in your case, it can only reflect the development process of private enterprises since the reform and opening up. If it is convenient, I How about helping you write an autobiography?"

Wu Xiaobo knew that Li Lei's wife, Yu Jingshu, was also a well-known writer, but he thought it would be unfair for outsiders to ask his wife to write a biography of Li Lei, so it was more appropriate for him to write the biography.

"I'm only in my 40s now, and I'm not ready to write an autobiography. If you want to write, why not write a corporate history for Huinong!" Li Lei said, he didn't want to brag for himself, but he couldn't bear to be so good Therefore, I thought of "Huinong Biography" from "Tencent Biography". Since Wu Xiaobo can write a biography for Tencent, he can also write for Huinong. If it can become a bestseller in the future, it will be a good thing for Huinong. propaganda.

"No problem." Wu Xiaobo recalled the first batch of companies since the reform and opening up, and now only a few companies such as Huinong, Wanxiang, and New Hope are still alive and well, and he chose one of them to do a publicity note for it. It can indeed play a role in reflecting the achievements of reform.

So Wu Xiaobo settled down in Heyang, looking through various historical materials of Huinong all day long, preparing to list a relatively clear outline first, and then slowly fill in the information; after the outline and materials are prepared, He went back to Hangzhou, and it is estimated that the book will be officially unveiled next year.

Not long after Wu Xiaobo left, Li Lei welcomed reporters from other media. In order to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the reform and opening up, many media united to conduct a selection of men of the hour. At present, [-] candidates have been listed. These media will The information of these candidates will be made public, and then readers and experts will jointly select [-] people as representatives of the past [-] years.

Li Lei, as an outstanding representative of the business community, is naturally one of the candidates, so the reporter wanted to interview him; Li Lei also saw the list of other representatives here, including many people he is familiar with. In terms of strokes, the first place is Li Lei's old acquaintance Ding Sanshi. The surname Ding has this advantage. As long as you don't meet a few surnames such as B, you will definitely be at the top.

The third candidate is a group. The 30 villagers who Xiaogang Village decided to contract at the beginning, they will definitely be included in the final list of [-] people, and there will be no surprises; represents an era.

The fourth place is also an acquaintance of Li Lei. Lao Ma's Alibaba has developed rapidly in recent years and is also a representative of China's e-commerce. He is definitely eligible to be selected, but it is hard to say whether he can enter the final list.

Ma Shengli ranked fifth, but regardless of Xiao Ma or Lao Ma, the probability of being selected is not as high as that of the seventh Ma Shengli. Their influence on reform is far less than that of Ma Shengli, who pioneered the contract system At that time, it was a role model for the whole country to follow.

Next came the Wang surname. There are two old acquaintances of Li Lei, Wang Shi and Wang Hai, and other cultural representatives such as Wang Xiaobo and Wang Meng.

Niu Gensheng would have appeared behind them, but since Mengniu had already collapsed, Niu Gensheng's entrepreneurial venture did not cause much waves, so he was not eligible to be selected.

Shi Yuzhu, who has climbed up again, is also on the list. Behind him are the fool Nian Guangjiu of Guazi, Ren Zhengfei of Huawei, the Liu brothers of the Hope Department, and Du Lao, who Li Lei often visits.

Then came Li Lei, who was selected together with representatives from the business and entertainment circles such as Li Ning, Li Dongsheng, Li Yuchun, and Jet Li.

In the future, there will be representatives from business circles such as Wu Renbao, Bu Xinsheng, Zhang Ruimin, He Xiangjian, Zhou Guanwu, and Lu Guanqiu; representatives from the sports circles such as Yao Ming, Deng Yaping, and Lang Ping; , Cui Jian, Teresa Teng and other representatives of the cultural circles, as well as representatives such as Pan Xiao who once sparked large-scale discussions in a certain era, can be said to basically cover all aspects since the reform.

More than a month later, the final list was announced. As Li Lei expected, Ma Shengli, Xiaogang villager, Du Lao and other representatives were finally selected, while there were only five representatives left in the business community, and Li Lei was among them. There are also Wang Shi, Brother Xiaoma, Godfather Liu, and Mr. Huo from Xiangjiang.

Mr. Huo represents the business community in Xiangjiang, Wang Shi represents the entrepreneurs in the SAR, and Brother Xiao Ma represents the emerging Internet industry. As for why it is him instead of Lao Ma, the reason is not complicated. The selection organizer is the media in the south. will tend to be closer.

As for Li Lei's inclusion in this list, firstly, it is because he has occupied the throne of the country's richest man for many years, and secondly, China is a big agricultural country, which definitely needs representatives in the field of agricultural enterprises.

Li Lei's inclusion in this list did not cause much repercussions, because when the primary list was announced, everyone felt that he would definitely be included, just like the villagers of Xiaogang Village, even if the representatives of private enterprises were reduced to one. , that must belong to Li Lei, he is now the well-deserved No.1 private enterprise.

Not long after the list was announced, it was time for Li Yanyou to go to the school to report. This summer vacation, he was still busy, and continued to conceal his real name to practice at the grassroots level of the company under Huinong, which further deepened his understanding of the Huinong industry chain. , Before going to the school to report, Li Lei chatted with him and was very satisfied with his progress during this period.

Originally, Li Lei planned to wait for him to get his undergraduate degree before considering going abroad, but now it seems that he can go out for exchange at the undergraduate level.

　The new book has been released and will be finished by the end of this month.
