Chapter 991: Goal of the Next Stage
<"readability-styled"style=":inline;">After Li Dong finished speaking, a student immediately asked, "Brother Dong, if there is no future plan, wouldn't it be aimless?"
Li Dong said with a smile: "I just said that we can make a short-term plan.
For example, within one year, or two years, and the longest should not exceed three years.
How many three years can there be in life, and it took you three years to achieve the goal of one stage, so how should you go in the future? "
The student who asked the question nodded, and said again: "Then what do you think is the best way for us to set the goal for the next stage?"
Li Dong laughed and said: "If you ask me this, I can't give you a good opinion.
After all, everyone has different standards for themselves.
Some people say that within three years, I will earn 5,000 a month, and this is the goal.
Some people don't care about money, and their goal after three years is to get married and have children.
There are also some people who have lofty goals and might want to surpass me in three years, don't you think so?
In short, it is best to put pressure on yourself without crushing yourself. "
While speaking, Li Dong suddenly remembered what Lao Wang said, and joked: "Of course, if you don't think it's specific enough, you can also learn from someone and set a small goal for yourself, first earn him 100 million before you talk."
"puff!"
Many people burst out laughing, and someone immediately said, "Brother Dong, are you talking about yourself?"
Li Dong smiled and shook his head and said: "Of course it's not me, I'm talking about someone else, but the other party is not bragging, he has indeed achieved the goal of 100 million.
As for me..."
Li Dong smiled and half-jokingly said: "I'm not this kind of person, how can I earn him a hundred million, now I'm not tempted if I don't have billions."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone laughed heartily, and the student who asked the question before also laughed and said, "Brother Dong, billions of dollars is not difficult for you, just like you said at the beginning of the year that you wanted to be the richest man, and you did it in half a year, right?"
The laughter became louder off the court, which made the people staying behind outside the auditorium very curious, what's going on, so happy?
Li Dong waved his hands and said, "How should I put this, in fact, when I set a goal, I was still sure.
It's not that I set a goal indiscriminately. If I say that I want to be the richest man in the world, it is purely a dream.
I am sure about the richest man in China, so I will fight for this goal once, and the result seems to be pretty good now. "
"Then what is your goal for the next stage? The richest man in Asia?"
Li Dong coughed lightly and said, "Today is not the time to talk about these things. This is the time for me to tell you about my experience. How did it become a questioning stage..."
"Brother Dong, tell me, everyone is curious!"
"Yeah, senior, tell me, it's much more interesting than just talking about your experience."
"..."
The students booed one after another, and the teachers of Jiang University quickly suppressed it.
What is everyone thinking?
Li Dong personally talked about his own experience, and most people have no chance to listen to it, but you are so lucky, you even feel disgusted.
If it wasn't for Jiang University's sake, Li Dong wouldn't come to Jiang University to give a speech at all.
Soon, the students were suppressed.
But everyone was still eager to try, looking at Li Dong expectantly.
Li Dong was helpless, smiled and said: "The richest man in Asia, I never thought about it."
"No way?"
Someone muttered, this is too unlike you.
Li Dong smiled and said: "Actually, at this stage, the richest man or something doesn't mean much to me.
When the money reaches a certain level, you will find that your desire for money is getting smaller and smaller..."
As soon as this remark came out, many people discussed it.
Do you believe this pretending?
There was some noise in the audience, Li Dong said with a smile: "I'm serious, don't think I'm joking.
Of course, that’s not to say there’s no need.
People, since they are alive, they must have the value of being alive.
How much money can a person spend in a lifetime?
I may not have much money on hand now,
But if you really want to enjoy it, it is not impossible to enjoy it with hundreds of millions or billions. "
The students couldn't help laughing, billions, you dare to say this.
Li Dong continued: "But sometimes it doesn't mean that enjoyment is a good thing, and the increase in personal wealth does not have much motivation for me now.
Becoming the richest man in Jiangbei and China, his personal desires have actually been satisfied.
In the next stage, what I think about is no longer the accumulation of personal wealth, but the progress of the enterprise.
I personally became the richest man, but it doesn't mean Yuanfang Group is really powerful.
In fact, not to mention the world, there are hundreds of enterprises in Huaxia beyond the distance.
When you satisfy your personal desires, what you pursue will seem a little bigger.
This is not pretending, please don't get me wrong, I really feel this way.
In the next step, it is my goal to build Yuanfang into a first-class enterprise in China, and even a first-class enterprise in the world. "
An ungraduated student couldn't help asking: "But is there any difference? The distance continues to expand, and your personal wealth has also increased?"
Li Dong said with a smile: "There must be some differences, companies and individuals are still different after all.
Of course, you can insist on understanding it this way.
But let me briefly talk about it, with an example.
Just like the acquisition of Carrefour this time, my personal wealth has not actually increased, and maybe it has shrunk because of the impact of the economic crisis.
But in my feeling, it's very cool, not even worse than being the richest man.
Because the reputation of Yuanfang Supermarket has been spread and its value has been reflected.
In China, foreign retail companies have always acquired Chinese local retail companies, but we have acquired the world's second largest retail company.
It doesn't matter that wealth doesn't increase.
At least if it spreads in the future, and dare not tell the whole world, giants in the same industry will know that Huaxia still has a powerful retail company.
They defeated Carrefour's market in China and the world's second largest retailer in China, which cannot be bought with pure money. "
The student who asked the question said clearly: "Understood, it means that senior, what you are pursuing now is no longer pure money, but a reputation that can go down in history, right?"
"Hahaha……"
Li Dong laughed and said: "This is a bit exaggerated, but I don't deny it.
It's not just pure fame, but also some personal selfishness.
Just like now, in the world, when it comes to retail companies, others only know Wal-Mart, Carrefour... these foreign brands.
As for me, I also have such a desire. When it comes to retail companies, it is enough for others to be the first to think of the distance. "
Everyone finally understood this time, the feeling is not that they don't want to be the richest man in Asia, but that they have a bigger goal.
The first one to think of the distance is naturally beyond Wal-Mart.
What is Wal-Mart?
The world's number one retailer is also the world's number one company by revenue.
If you really want to do this, are you afraid that you won't be able to win the status of the richest man in Asia?
I'm afraid the richest man in the world can take a hit, after all, all the wealth in the distance is concentrated in the hands of Li Dong.
...
As the students asked questions, time passed little by little.
Li Dong looked at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock, and there were other ceremonies to follow, so it would be afternoon if there was any delay.
Without giving the students a chance to ask any more questions, Li Dong coughed lightly and said, "It's almost time. My personal experience doesn't mean anything. I just said it briefly. It's best if everyone can get some inspiration. If not, it's normal.
Finally, let me give you a few tips. "
Everyone quickly quieted down, waiting for Li Dong to speak.
"First, be diligent.
This is my personal opinion. Lazy people, unless you are the second generation, otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, the possibility of success is very low.
I don't exclude those who are talented, lucky enough to win the lottery and make a fortune sitting at home.
But in this case, it can only be called getting rich, not success. "
"Second, restraint.
When I say introverted, I don't mean keeping everyone from speaking, talking, or doing things.
I mean, when you're not successful, or powerful enough to ignore anyone, it's better to keep a low profile.
I have met many people in the past few years, and they look like the boss of the sky and his second child.
Some people come to apply from far away, and I have also participated in several interviews.
As a result, these people talked freely, as if you don't want me, it's your loss, do you think this kind of person will be wanted?
Everyone can watch TV, but don't take it seriously.
Or on TV, there are often some people who apply for a job in a certain company, and they act like I can give advice. If you don’t accept me, that is the biggest loss in your life.
As a result, those stupid chairman or general manager really have the attitude of begging grandpa to sue grandma, wanting to keep the other party, for fear that the other party will run away.
But in fact, if anyone does this to me, nothing else, get out!
Not just me, other companies should be no exception, don't think you are amazing, this earth is running without anyone.
As a student who just graduated, or just entered the society not long ago, you want to reach the sky in one step, and you want to give advice, is it possible?
No chairman or manager of a large enterprise is a fool. If you pay attention to the thatched cottage, you will be rewarded. I can give you as much courtesy as you can bring.
Students who want to apply for a job in a distant place, I welcome them with both hands.
But before entering the distant place, you have to restrain your arrogance, no, it should be said that you are stupid. "
As soon as the second article came out, many people laughed softly.
But all smiles, everyone is still calm.
This is the truth. Graduates from ordinary colleges are hard to say, and graduates from some top prestigious schools are better. Only the middle one is a bit famous, but graduates from less famous colleges are actually the most arrogant.
Some companies sometimes have headaches when recruiting these students.
He is still not convinced that he is being stupid.
For a company like Yuanfang, it was okay for the first two years, but there was a shortage of people. You have enough skills, okay, you can accept it if you have a big temper.
But when the company stabilizes, you still have such a big temper, I'm sorry, I can't keep you.
This is still capable, and if you are not capable, you will be proud. Even if you graduate from a top prestigious school, you will go as far as you can.
Just like Yuan Chengdao before, before he came to the distant place, he faced Li Dong with arrogance.
But when he was really far away, he still had arrogance at the beginning, but gradually he began to restrain himself.
They are all smart people, and Li Dong's status varies according to the status of Yuan Fang. No matter how arrogant he is, he is stupid. Yuan Chengdao is obviously not a fool.
When they were almost laughing, Li Dong said: "The third and most important point is to stand upright!
This is a message given to me by an old senior who graduated from Jiangnan University, and I will always remember it in my heart.
People sometimes feel that taking shortcuts is faster and more convenient.
I myself had this thought a few years ago.
But when I gradually expanded the company and became famous myself, I knew that this was playing with fire.
Fortunately, I was warned by my seniors that I didn't walk into the abyss step by step, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am now, Li Dong.
Whether it is a business or a person, there is still a bottom line.
I don't know how many people have read "Thick Black Studies". It said that the face is thick and the heart is black, and many people regard it as a classic.
But I can tell you that it’s okay to be thick-faced, but black-hearted, it depends on how black you are. You don’t break the law or discipline, and it’s understandable that you blacked out your opponent.
Especially in business, it is common for people to be hacked a few times. For example, I hacked a lot of people, including Taobao, Carrefour, and Suguo.
But I didn't violate the law and discipline, and they didn't say anything if I hacked them.
I won't say much to boast, but I hope it can be helpful to everyone.
That's it for today, thank you guys! "
After Li Dong finished speaking, he bowed and walked down the stage.
The applause sounded again and lasted for a long time.
Today Li Dong actually didn't say much about the truth, nor did he say anything about the philosophy of life.
He briefly talked about his own experience, talked about his own experience, and made a few small jokes.
But this kind of words are actually the most sincere and sincere.
Some students may not understand and feel that Li Dong is too conservative today.
Even though Li Dong later said that he wanted to surpass Wal-Mart, Li Dong didn't go into details, and skipped it half-jokingly.
But in fact, these officials and teachers including Wang Hongyun knew how sincere Li Dong was today.
Sometimes, the simpler words are more practical.
Today's Li Dong, wouldn't he pour chicken soup for everyone?
In charge of a company with more than 100,000 people, Li Dong is no worse than anyone else.
But today, Li Dong really didn't fool around.
Chicken soup for the soul is just chicken soup after all, your blood boils when you hear it now, and you can't wait to show your skills right away.
But when it comes time to be practical, you suddenly realize what did he say?
Everyone can tell big words, but the smaller the matter, the more true it can be seen.
...
Under the stage, the principal of Jiang University held Li Dong's hand vigorously and said with emotion: "I am deeply touched today, especially the last few sentences. We usually talk about it, but everyone just listens and passes.
You can say these words on this occasion today, I think everyone should be able to listen to it, which is better than I imagined.
Thanks! "
Li Dong hastily smiled and said: "The principal is too famous. In fact, I just chatted a few words casually. There is no other way. My literary talents are limited, so I can only talk gossip."
"That's a good gossip, next time I have a chance..."
Before the principal finished speaking, Li Dong begged for mercy: "Don't do it again, principal, I have a big head just today."
The principal suddenly laughed, patted the back of Li Dong's hand, and said with a smile: "That's fine, let's talk about it later. I only hope that you can come back often in the future."
"definitely."
Li Dong nodded, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves for a while.
