MA: the entrepreneur to have beliefs, feelings-Ma, lakeside University-IT information
The morning of March 27 news, lakeside University of the second convocation held in Hangzhou today. Alibaba's Board of Directors, Chairman of the first lakeside University President Ma said in his opening remarks, lakeside University mission is in an era of new business civilization, find and train entrepreneurs. More than 10 years ago, the company has a vision, that is, after 30 years of China's top 500, 200 system a CEO from the Alibaba group, today, this mission was transferred to the Lake University. "The next 20 years, 30 years, ten people in China's economy, there must be several is here with us, in the future of China's top 500, at least the top 200 CEO Lake College has had relationships with us. ”
Ma said, why take the lakeside University? Lakeside University of this name is because when I start, my apartment is called Lake garden, our apartment is called the Lake, so we think that every company has its own garage culture, each when the company started, there is such a thing. So we are simply identified as "Lake University", remember that every entrepreneur.
Ma also said that in the University, we will not teach you how to make money and solve your problem of today's employees, these courses are there? We all have, but that's not the main our schools to teach something, we would like to share in this school is to enable your business to live longer, a man too, do business, too.
Ma said there are some specific differences in our schools with MBA, we do not teach you how to succeed, how do we tell all people fail, all the cases are mainly failed, but not everything is a failure, the train's point of view is not the same.
Following are speeches of the MA:
Good morning everyone, first of all congratulate you on the second phase of the students, thank our managers, as well as the first phase of the students, thanks to all the teachers, for all entrepreneurs.
The weather is good today, even though we are worried about the economic situation, but there is always good, and bad, at this school, I think it is very meaningful. Lake University causes in where, first period I told had, eight years yiqian, then economic situation also not is good, has a wave people, we some do enterprise of people mood also is depressed, was proposed we to a place called Bhutan, said that place air is sweet of, that place environment very beautiful, anyway everyone mood bad, on with out tourism has a trip.
After arriving there, found where the sweet air. But there of people special has happiness sense, there of people told a happiness index, in road, we learn to has many things, Exchange has many on belief, and faith, and national of thought, in return of aircraft Shang, we these people, like Feng or, we then to has many people, road everyone said Enterprise so difficult do, we said established a private enterprise University, became China economic development process in the of Huangpu military. Everyone on the plane rushing headlong into mass action, pushed me appointed as the first principal, since 78, almost on the outside, you see I called the principal. We also follow the call of the company principals, my guilt in my heart, the things promised, not done, agreed, not to do it.
We went through a lot last year, many managers of nearly seven years of thinking, what we want to do the schools, this school what is the difference with MBA, Harvard what's the difference, what's the difference with Peking University and Tsinghua University, what kind of students we recruit? After a long time, we thought. In fact, many times longer, things do not necessarily want to do, to set up again. With the same vigour, we think after seven years, establishment of the Lake University. Set up on the first day, I told first students exchange ideas, our school, all the students in the first phase, the second phase, helped us create this lakeside College.
How to get to the lakeside University of the future, we would like to do the entrepreneurs ' own University. Learn what some of what you teach, this is our own research, to explore together. So we have these requirements, select the direction, accepted practice is different from others.
I said the best schools, first of all to students, teachers, and this is very important, but good students is very important. We may not be able to take the best students, best Chinese entrepreneurs will come to our lakeside University enrollment, but if we are really serious to do, one day with this mission, it is possible to do so.
Why take the lakeside University? Lakeside University of this name is because when I start, my apartment is called Lake garden, our apartment is called the Lake, so we think that every company has its own garage culture , each when the company started, there is such a thing.
So we are simply identified as "Lake University", remember that every entrepreneur. The Lake when you start, staff not really, no one wants to come to our company, today the differences in school with other schools is that many people are willing to come, tens of thousands of people signed up, joined to a lakefront University, but at the time when I was in Lake Gardens business, nobody wants to come to my company. I had joked with 18 founder, Ali one day "under its him like waves, beautiful cloud", Ali insisted on one direction for more than 10 years, Alibaba's proportion of female employees accounted for more than 45% today, should speak beautiful clouds under him as the tide. I feel today the Alibaba Group's cadres in reserve, reserve personnel, especially the reserves of good generals, I confidently say, in China and even in Asia, rarely have this kind of construction, both at home and abroad. Is this vision, we have to achieve this goal, and continuous efforts, is to this day. Though Ali is to go for a long time in the future, we don't know, but there is no doubt that always take our mission seriously, seriously our vision, it is possible to walk to this day.
In front of the Lake University sessions, we maintain that these students, these students do not need us, they will be very successful. Our role is to find, training entrepreneurs, entrepreneurship, entrepreneurs are hard to cultivate, but entrepreneurs can be found, can be trained.
Harvard good, Harvard best of is students good, hundreds of thousands of, and millions of inside, pick out some students to, these students certainly not poor to where to, actually first period, and second period, front ten period of students, we hope found a seedling, but may not be must is best of, we no approach found best of, we only found most right of, we right you, you right we. Just like Alibaba founder 18 to 100, 200 employees, really that good? Not necessarily good, but today they are very powerful because willpower stronger than others, and differ from person to person.
Some say your speech is eloquent of the Ma, how to learn speech, I never learned speeches, because as a teacher? In fact poor teachers talked too much. Nothing to do with the teachers, Why do they said I talk so well, I said I rarely use parallelism, in good faith. Do things three degrees: angle of approach, the depth of the problem, look at the breadth of the problem, the three degrees . Sometimes my speech does not have to, but I believe you are. Others are angry, he says you are wrong, wrong well not important, I believe, believe is very important . You your perspective is different from others, you see the depth of the problems are not the same, you see the breadth of the problem is different, you will not like. Lakeside University found that students, after training, point of view of their views on issues are not the same, for the depth of the problems are not the same, for the breadth of the problem is not the same.
We hope to gather a large group of entrepreneurs, we want to create a new business culture, because we believe that the advent of new business civilization. Whole enterprise of development, in future of 100 years, and 200 years, in century will will occurred turned upside down of changes, first times industrial revolution birth has factory, near Centennial yiqian, to energy revolution mainly birth has company, this revolution birth has what of commercial organization form, factory out of when, Subversion created has whole world of change, company out of when, whole commercial environment occurred turned upside down of changes, this revolution with Shang two times of differences is release has people of head, wisdom occurred has changes, and A change in thinking, organizational forms will change. What kind of organization to adapt to the development of the 21st century, what kind of commercial civilization can survive in this century, what kind of company to develop here, all kinds of business opportunities in the world, just how do you think these businesses, how do you organize how your company or enterprise or organization, to adapt, to create this value.
Lakeside University is more than just a teaching, but is a joint research project, a project to search, discovery, invention, suitable for the platform of the 21st century, able to adapt to the economy, we have created more jobs, making the Chinese economy can be good. In fact here in the us, not after what state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, difference between large enterprises and small businesses, only if you adapt to new business culture, entrepreneurship, views on the issue are not the same, different degrees of depth and breadth of the problem is different, whether there is a strong feeling, which we hope to build up.
The school's vision, because this school established soon, visibility is very large, and Harvard have asked me about, Yale President discussed with me, the first two days at the Boao, Dean of the University of Oxford discussion with me, everyone asks the question, how could we lakeside University. I feel ready now, cooperation between customers, partners must not be less, but today, after all, is only the first phase, phase II is just beginning, we still have a lot of experience to learn, to MBA schools to establish a lot of laws, institutions, but we want to take a different path, but it cannot be different for different, of course, vary, as well.
I wants to this school by people concern, but do don't thought we this school has different, we this school different just today in form surface, we all of "three", must to has three years venture experience, must has 30 name employees above, must tax three years, must has 30 million turnover, we today not training you how venture, we hope how let you this enterprise can live have more long, last century enterprise to scale worked, must to has enough of scale to became big enterprise, In the Lake is not large enterprise at the University, we develop good business, companies such as people, who want to live well, be happy, be comfortable and live longer and healthier . So is nothing more than an enterprise, business people, how to think, why are we going to find happiness, because we are tired, we are not happy. But some people do live very happy, some enterprises do not, but very happy.
I think in this University, we will not teach you how to make money and solve your problem of today's employees, these courses are there? We will has, but this not main we this school to taught of things, we hope this school share of is let you of enterprise can live have more long, man also as, do enterprise also as, you can live is long, must has unique, wonderful moment too more has, everyone gathered up do a things, and do a project, do a Project, any do a Project, any do a big of project, must to thinking it on you live have long has benefits did. Second, good for live well, stay healthy good, make yourself comfortable, make yourself comfortable? Boss does not feel well, employees will not be comfortable, but not comfortable long. In this group, we hope that here, creating a culture so that each enterprise live long and live for a long time, Chinese companies live up to 30 years of very little, and the University's vision is to be 300 years.
This 300 years we need to have a lot of work to do, including financing, first stage and second stage of school, they say more than 300,000 fee, I can tell you, more than 300,000 fee, a fraction is not enough. A few foreigners, specially flew over and told everybody, round-trip ticket out, is not a cost, like last year, BlackRock's head, he had two classes on the fly, fly back key I still owe a lot, you better than anyone.
Money isn't the issue, but that money is also an issue. When the first wave of entrepreneurship, we do not lack the money, many entrepreneurs are willing to sponsor this money, but our school is not like others, from day one, we hope to raise money because only continuous contributions to the school, say that the school is doing well, the Government cannot put a penny, not on this. Tell you good news, you have joined, and the bad news, all students need to think about, one day you want to donate money, donate thanks to donate our gratitude, donate after you have a generation of people, the next generation of students and students, Chinese entrepreneurs more opportunities in the future.
Actually China of commercial environment more good, entrepreneurs groups more health, more more people believes new of commercial civilization, more more of people knows open, and share, and free, live have long, and live have long, we of commercial itself of groups only will by people respect, or we forever was family eye inside said "betel nut", business must was row in last, because people on Shangzhen of not understand. Three core things that other groups did not have real entrepreneurs not to be trained, a and m can be cultivated, but businessmen are difficult to train. And another point, merchant's three special qualities, result-driven, efficiency-oriented, equity-oriented, these three things are business, the business community has to you as a business, there must be results talk for a long time, no results, do not bullshit. Efficiency, they do this thing 50 bucks, you do 15 Yuan, or 45 dollars, fair, and have no way to force people to follow certain games do we consult with each other, and achieve a win-win outcome.
The group, we hope that with common efforts, from the first day to build this school, for 300 years. Our mission is to hope that in the new era of commercial civilization, find training entrepreneurs, but this school is not only entrepreneurs, we would still be plenty of room for overseas entrepreneurs, global entrepreneur, today we want this school trained students with a global vision of the future. We speak of globalization enterprises, what is a global company, many international schools, I do not think it to be the international school is an international school to, speak English is not international. Doing business abroad does not mean that you are a global enterprise, I have invested in overseas, I have a factory overseas, it believed that the international enterprise, independent of a company that you are in a foreign country. Internationalization means, is to have a global vision, international perspective, the value of the international system for a local creating value. So we hope that in this school, there are more international elements, but the first phase, the second phase is a bit hard, our seventh, eighth and tenth will make this way, we hope is this.
Second, we also hope to have a lot of young officials, can also study here, businessmen and enterprises are now called "parents, clean" is close, clean. Only to understand each other, to get to this day, must also have the awareness of government officials, that is result-oriented, efficiency and fairness. I hope that one day, 20 years, 50 years, 80 years later, there are many Chinese Government officials, the politicians said, I used to receive training in the lakeside University business, to understand the consciousness of result-driven, efficiency-oriented and fair. We also hope to have a lot of artists to participate in the school, because in this school, as I have said, is not to teach you to make money, tricks like this technology stuff is not what we teach, because you love the business, merchant will enter the field, because of love, your skills will improve, you keep grinding.
But we will teach us all feelings of humanity, in fact, lots of artists and entrepreneurs must first have the artist's temperament and the artist's thoughts, my own position himself, 67 years ago, I was a teacher, but I am an artist, I just call themselves artists. So I stooped down, and wrote some time ago, painting sell very high. What is our work of art, it was Taobao, Alibaba's art works cat, it's our art, our differences is what tens of thousands of people together to do this thing. When we first talk strategy before, told management when I say that I am a conductor, the cello cello, violin the violin, the piano's piano. This is art as a whole, only by their works and their company thinking like an artist, you can feel the fun. But what? Deficiency is the difference of entrepreneurs to artists, artists can rehearse 10,000 times, you can't rehearse, or die, or die. But if in here surface indifferent free to operation a company, put it into a behavior art, like Taobao or, and days cat or, and Lenovo or, and complex star group or, and giant or, each a pieces works are no can copy, real of success is created, not copy, can copy of things not worth, that is crafts, real of art cannot copy, and himself also can't again dry a again . So I think we're here, I hope to learn from history, culture, art, politics, no patterns, no feelings, your business will not be respected. If your employees don't respect you, you don't respect the things you do, society will not respect you.
In this school, we hope that is born out of entrepreneurs is emotion, vision, taste . But this not we taught of, this is a platform, Lake University has this platform, we today has a launched of Council are, this batch Council are, we determined to common put this school do good, we will please various of people, forced you listening to some not willing to listening to of things, Shang some you not willing to Shang of class, many people said this is also no with, because useless, you only to learn, useful, you himself must can find get. So sometimes, many classes, not on Saturday, and Sunday, we will have you busy most of the time, you even these bad days are scheduled, what else do you do business, how do you manage your time, you're busy, principals are busier than you, teachers are busier than you, somebody else than you. Do you think this stuff is useless, let me tell you this thing is useful, do you think than what we know, what do you do to.
We must have done a lot of ordinary people have no way of understanding things, we endured the things ordinary people can't stand, we see what others do not see and the things we do that others don't believe this is training, training is to do what you want to do, do not like to do things. On the first period a lot of students think that the teacher so bad, bad on. All teachers must do very well, are you so perfect? Since you are here, you have to learn, there are times when a policy, we are really angry, but now that down, we observed, we adapt to it, we the others to adapt, or alters it, adapt it, there's always a way. So we have to adjust, this school has a lot of ideas, and wants to do for 300 years, wants to train a group of feelings, with vision and future create a truly comfortable, happy, healthy, living well company, as to how can live large, this is fate. But the basic law must have, we will also introduce a lot. These thoughts are at this school, so much that this school from the second quarter, beginning in the second quarter, we added a lot of things. I'm afraid that artists with commercial thinking, entrepreneur is sure to have some awareness of artists, of course, politicians must have commercial awareness, so this is what we are here to discuss with you.
In addition, there are some specific differences in our schools with MBA, we do not teach you how to succeed, how do we tell all people fail, all the cases are mainly failed, but not everything is a failure, the training point of view is not the same . Chinese movies and Western movies, I'm just kidding, very big differences, all heroism, we advocate heroism, but Western movie hero last were alive, our movie heroes are dead, we have only the dead can be a hero, who also again as the hero. But Western hero really is particularly large, every one of them survived, today we in this school of entrepreneurs, we want school point of view, problems processing techniques have to be like this. So we want everyone to learn more about how others failed, how others made mistakes, someone else in this error how do. All of us entrepreneurs, we have no luck? We had the luck, we have the opportunity? We has opportunities, but theory, this luck and opportunities everyone almost of, but met disaster of when, everyone of processing technique not as of, we to has imagination, to has independent of idea, I hope Lake University entrepreneurs has future, we each Chinese are has himself of belief, because only has belief, talent has fear spirit, but each entrepreneurs must to has faith, because you has has faith yihou, you only not was temptation, not East make West make, you of strategy only will is has set force of, Without belief strategy is not fixed, but none of them are lost. I hope you all remember, in the path of the school.
Lakeside University today is just the beginning, said concern many, and Yu Feng as the first Chairman of the ways and means Committee, has received many endorsements, huayi brothers has sponsored hear fosun also donated a lot of money yesterday. Thanks to all donors, and Niu gensheng, first he donated, there are now several millions of money, told me last night that there have been 300 million or 400 million of raise up. We estimate that soon, but this group of entrepreneurs, in fact, our contribution, hope in China really the birth of one of the world's great schools.
We one day will with other school cooperation, but front issues down cooperation, this among will made many errors, but began we buried Xia a star seed, we common to put it do, Lake University to currently weizhi, we maximum of achievements sense, we think do have is has fun, thanks Lu Yang this team, they also didn't do had school, I specifically put didn't do had school of people pulled came do school of, if put do had school of people do school, and do out also of school, on mess has. When we do PayPal, I pulled his sales from Guangdong, said PayPal is all Greek to me, I said yes, we look at the problem from the sales, if you pulled a man from the Bank do the same banks, what's the point.
In our school there are two experts in school, President of the CAI, President of money, we will sum up and learn. Also has we of consultant, Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce original of Zheng Secretary, he on Government this sets system, how management, Zheng Secretary as a government officials, he body has entrepreneurs of elements, results oriented, and efficiency consciousness, and fair consciousness, so we will common to efforts, La windbag suo told has so more, Word Word, school not principal do of, school is everyone do of.
More than 10 years ago, Alibaba's vision, 30 years later, in China's top 500, 200 CEO system trained from the Alibaba group. Today, our mission transferred to the Lake University. The next 20 years, 30 years later, ten people in China's economy, must be four year relationship with lakeside University there, there is the idea, they thought that, in the future of China's top 500, at least 200 strong CEO Lake from the University . We hope China of many government officials said I in here from benefit had, we hope many artist said we in here from benefit had, we hope many educator said we had in Lake University of learning inside has had benefit, if this can made words, regardless of you future whether continues to do entrepreneurs, but in Lake University inside of three years, can with to you life happy, knows what is health, what is free, to currently weizhi, this school of mission, this several word we also no out, Values have not come out, is that we work together to build common school into the University of the 21st century truly kick-ass entrepreneur spirit, thank you.
