If you study the data carefully, you can always find some secrets in it.

In the latest wealth list, the people in charge of big companies include Tencent Ma, Lei, Haidilao, Shell, Who will study, Wanxiang Lu Weiding, Chi Yufeng, Mei Nianda Health Yu Rong, and Vipshop Shen Ya; As partners and venture partners, Peng Lei, Yuan Liping, Wu Chunyuan, Xu Dalai, Chen Yidan and others are on the list.

They have one thing in common: they were born in 197 1.

Make another comparison: the youngest of the top 500 is Xu Ruotong of Xu Sheng Automotive Technology, 23 years old; The oldest is Ruan Shuilong of Zhejiang Longsheng Group, 85 years old. Among them, the proportion of people born in 197 1 year is as high as 4.8%, which is much higher than the average proportion of 1.6% in 63 age groups.

In addition to this list, Musk, who was born in 197 1 and reached the top of the world's richest man in 2022, is obsessed with leading humans to Mars.

Obviously, we can't draw the conclusion that 197 1 people born are more likely to achieve success in the secular sense-even if only capital and wealth are taken as measuring factors.

Compared with people born in the late 1960s and early 1970s, there is no special difference. The reason why we are a group is to try to see their inner connection with this era and this land through a tiny incision.

In 2022, people born in 197 1 reached the age of "knowing destiny". Most of them have experienced ups and downs, joys and sorrows, trust betrayal, but they have enough time to complete their expectations and commitments for the future. Their judgments and choices in the turbulent business sea can also provide a mirror for young latecomers.

Similar to the Silicon Valley figures such as Bill Gates, Jobs, eric schmidt and Tim Berners Lee born in195, the success of China born in197/kloc-0 is undoubtedly inseparable from my talent, personality, ability and mind, but it is also inseparable from the big era that provided space for their growth and was brilliant enough.

Learning:

Under the guidance of English and computer

197 1 year, China is still experiencing turbulence.

There were many signs in this year, which laid the groundwork for the later pattern, destiny and personal life. Marked by Kissinger's visit to China in July, 197 1, China and the United States took a step of melting ice and snow.

At the same time this year, there are factors of reconciliation and hope.

Five years later, the imprisonment was broken and gradually opened. "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" has sparked a big discussion, and a group of old people tried their best to save their lost youth.

In 1980s, when China opened its doors, its economy began to take off. 197 1 People born are teenagers, and they have become the objects of high hopes for their children and women, and they have begun to contact fashionable subjects such as English and computer. Unlike their parents, they have the opportunity to meet new things and then freely control their lives as adults.

198 1 that promulgation of the interim provision on studying abroad at one's own expense not only help college students to study abroad, but also promotes the language enthusiasm of Chinese people. English learning programs are broadcast on TV every day from Russian to English.

Feng Tang, a writer and investor born in 197 1, remembers the upsurge of learning English for all in primary school. Feng Tang was disgusted with the only persecution in his life until he turned the tables by reading English.

Ding Lei, who was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, was also traveling around the United States while learning English. He also has a well-informed director in the state-owned Fenghua Food Factory, who often deals with foreign companies.

After World War II, inspired by information theory, information technology has moved from spontaneous stage to conscious stage, and new technologies and processes have emerged continuously. With the invention of integrated circuits in the 1960s, mankind entered the information age from the industrial age. It is precisely because of their generation's familiarity with English and understanding of the latest technological trends that China talents who were greatly backward in the early industrial age have the opportunity to keep up with the pace of the information age, and even catch up in some aspects.

Science and technology are also the main direction that comrades focused on together with education after 1977 resumed work, and he also raised them to a height related to the future. With the deepening of reform, the computer industry in China has entered a stage of rapid development. 1984, a boy of 13 years old witnessed the opening of an era in Shanghai Exhibition Hall. Comrades touched his head and said: popularizing computers should start with dolls. The boy later joined Microsoft to study Li Jin. When he was young, he first came into contact with the computer of Shanghai Children's Palace, "as big as a freezer."

Among his peers, Ma, Ding Lei,, and Yu Rong all have information technology backgrounds. Horses have loved astronomy since childhood. In order to cultivate his interest in science, his parents subscribed to science for him very early.

Ma and his high school classmates, Zhang Zhidong and Chen Yidan, who later became business partners, all volunteered to fill in Shenzhen University. There is no astronomy major he yearns for here, so he chose computer major. Because of their existence, this new campus full of litchi trees will be confident to compete with first-class universities at home and abroad in 30 years.

Ding Lei, who loves computers, passively chose the microwave communication major of Chengdu University of Electronic Technology because of her parents' opposition-X-ray in front of the computer. Ding Lei's technological enlightenment and the science he subscribed to opened his eyes. The radio, electronic components, semiconductors and other equipment at home provided him with a testing ground for doing it himself and exerting his imagination. 15 years old, Ding Lei can assemble radios; In high school, he began to write programs with one of the few Apple computers in the school.

Employment:

Leave the system and choose to start a business.

1993, Ma, Ding Lei and other students born in the second half of the year left school after graduation.

In1October this year (1 1), the 14th session adopted the Decision on Several Issues Concerning the Construction of Market Economy System, which is the second important document of China's second economic trilogy after the Decision on Economic System adopted at the 12th session (1984).

An 88-year-old comrade's southern tour the year before last triggered people's further thinking, and the ideological bondage of "surname society and surname capital" further clarified the direction of progress. Dongfeng Man Chun.

Ling Zhijun, a best-selling author, said in "Change:1990 —— A Record of China in 2002" that120,000 people resigned to go into business this year, and10,000 people did not leave their jobs, and millions of teachers, students and scientific and technological personnel started businesses. The "92 School" represented by Chen and others became a typical representative of China.

Those who seize the gap in the early years have already had the opportunity to provide a stage for the younger generation. 1992,21year-old Lu Weiding entered Wanxiang Group, which was founded for 23 years, as the vice president and began to participate in the founding business.

Lu Qiuguan, the earliest batch in China, started business on 1969. When Lu Weiding, the son of 197 1, was born, he was carefully implementing the piece-rate wage system, that is, distributing income according to the amount of workers' labor. It was seven or eight years before he began to openly try this system. The exploration of roads not only provided kindling for Chinese township enterprises to start a prairie fire, but also affected their sons' way of doing business.

"It's better to go to sea". After starting a business with other scholars and young people, Jiang Xuemo, an old professor of economics at Fudan University, wrote an article to cheer them up and promote the study of economic theory out of books.

It is the youthful age when 197 1 was born, which makes it hard for them not to be influenced by this trend. At that time, the employment distribution system was implemented, and some people did not accept the distribution and went directly to start a business. Even if some people accept the arrangement, it is difficult to calm their restless hearts and leave the system early.

Yu Rong, chairman of Meinian Health, chose Shanghai Jiaotong University, the same clan, to study communication engineering because his parents are professors of Jiaotong University. 1993 After graduating from university, I joined a real estate planning company and started my own real estate company two years later.

After graduating from the University of Chemical Technology majoring in computer science, Zuo Hui was assigned to work in a chemical factory in the suburbs. Only three months later, he resigned and went to work in a software company. Three years later, he started his own company to engage in the property insurance industry. If it weren't for the threshold, he would be at the helm of a better property insurance company in China, not a chain home or a shell.

After graduation, Ding Lei was assigned to Ningbo Municipal Bureau to maintain the program-controlled computers. Two years later, he moved his mind to start a business and went south to Guangdong to find business opportunities, regardless of his parents' opposition. Two years later, at the age of 26, he founded Yi. Ding Lei and Ma are friends on social networks. Inspired by Ding Lei's pioneering work, Ma Yu 1998 founded Tencent.

Entrepreneurship:

Catch up with this wave of interconnection

Rivers are rushing forward, and ordinary people can attack life even if they seize an opportunity. For those who run on the tide of the times, the desire to achieve great things drives them to keep moving forward.

After graduating from communication major, Yu Rong dug up a bucket of gold through real estate, made investment, started a business in the field of big health, and finally returned to his familiar science and technology field. With the passage of time and fate, Yu Rong found that great changes had taken place in her early years. Professor Yang Guoan, president of Ivy League University, said in an interview that in the past, doing business depended more on judgment, decisiveness and the ability to seize opportunities, but today it depends on systems, professional skills and technologies, including digital changes.

In his field of preventive medicine, "change" means efficient operation and accurate diagnosis, and the corresponding results that consumers can enjoy are faster physical examination process, better health management services, and even screening and intervention for cancer and incurable diseases in advance through key indicators.

This is a correct but not easy thing to do. Behind the "change" that concerns the overall situation and nirvana, it often means touching vested interests. Only when you have confidence in your own technology can you support yourself.

Chain home was once regarded as a representative of traditional real estate agents by the upstarts of the Internet. For a time, the latter announced in a high-profile way that they would challenge their slash-and-burn cultivation with aircraft cannons. Even a few years ago, Tencent proposed to use the Internet to transform and empower traditional industries. It was not until they met the chain home that they realized that the barriers of this giant enterprise were too high to be broken.

Not only was it not attacked, but it was also attacked on the Internet by building a database. In August, 2022, Keke Holding Company was listed on the new york Stock Exchange. By February 2022, the market value was close to 82 billion US dollars, far exceeding Vanke, Poly, Evergrande and other real estate giants.

Chen Xiangdong had a similar experience. Who did he learn from? He studied electronic technology in the Physics Department of Henan Institute of Education, and his understanding of technology made him insist on teaching in large online classes. When the whole industry loses money, the business of the big class makes them profitable; When someone is worried that famous teachers in the world will leave their jobs as frequently as his old club, New Oriental, online itself will bite each other on related teams such as traffic, sales, lectures, content, R&D, live broadcast technology, Taiwan assistance and data through the improvement of system efficiency, making it difficult for famous teachers to leave.

The English craze in youth changed the fate of this generation. When they graduated from college, many people chose to study abroad. 1993 used this bonus to study abroad and set up a New Oriental English training institution. Six years later, he accepted a colleague Chen Xiangdong, who was born in 197 1. The latter starts with teachers, assistant principals and principals of Wuhan New Oriental School. , and grew up to be the CEO of the group and become the minister of Yu.

Who did Chen Xiangdong learn from when he left office in 2022? His own wealth will reach 32 billion yuan in 2022, exceeding the rest.

Those who take computers as their main business have long been familiar with their success. Ma He and Ding Lei, one of the biggest Internet giants in China at present, another one made the Forbes China Rich List four years after starting a business, becoming the youngest richest man in China at that time.

Those who are far away from information technology, relying on the foundation laid in their student days and insight into information technology, took the lead in changing in their respective fields in the later era of big data and industrial interconnection, and became unshakable giants who attacked the city.

Future:

Looking for certainty in uncertainty

Most people will think that those who come from a good family and have a broad vision are far behind. In fact, people born in the great era and poor families have the opportunity to go against the sky. The experience of Song, the founder of Haidilao and Yonghui, can provide a model for ordinary people.

Born in Jianyang, Sichuan, I grew up in a complex, and my childhood memory is "poverty". After graduating from technical school, he opened a mala Tang restaurant in his hometown, starting from the "four no-people" with no money, no education, no background and no ability, and gaining a firm foothold by caring for customers. When Haidilao had the opportunity to go to the whole country, he fixed this manpower advantage through the apprenticeship training system, and developed the enterprise into a benchmark brand in China food industry which was difficult for students to learn.

Unlike those people with high academic qualifications, broad horizons, and seeing the situation, their growth path is ups and downs, and they often accumulate experience while practicing. Song Yong Hui, the founder of Yonghui, started his business at the age of 23. He accumulated some capital in the beer field and lost money when he founded a beer production enterprise. After entering the retail chain field, with the advantages of fresh e-commerce and supply chain, it formed differentiated competition with large supermarkets and grew into a leading retail brand.

Although the brand's influence is outside, it does not mean that the future will sit back and relax. There are many people who challenge Haidilao. Yonghui faces the impact of new retail formats such as Box Horse Fresh Life. Although Yonghui is constantly launching "super species" to compete with it, the community group purchase launched in 2022 has pushed him into competition with giants.

Being ahead also means being surpassed at any time. In the future, when they are 50 years old, how will they cope with new challenges?

"Both temples are weathered, and guests who leave early." Because age, like a gourd pressed deep in water, always floats to the surface. Even Feng Tang, who pays attention to fitness, will inadvertently pay attention to his age-"Most of the writers I love finished their most important works before my age, and then most of them died, just like the flowers in that autumn."

This list of writers includes Lawrence, Kerouac, Kaka, Kafka, Wang Xiaobo and so on. Feng Tang said that he still has a lot of unfinished business. Although his body is getting old, he still hopes to control his life and destiny by running constantly.

With the development of science and technology, human life expectancy is prolonged, and 50 years old is no longer the age that is easy to produce menopausal impression in the traditional sense.

Holger Linus said in Fifty People, "A person's fifty years old is a golden year. Men who are nearly 50 years old, men who are over 50 years old, or men who start with all five words still hold two trump cards in their hands: the promised future and the past that has been carved over the years. "

In 2022, the world pattern and economic environment are undergoing tremendous changes: the epidemic is still spreading, economic globalization is still facing challenges, technological changes are not endless, and the political and economic situation is turbulent. In the uncertain times, born in 197 1, can they continue to dig out a definite rising curve in their own channels?

The above is related to the pig age table 2022, which is about the sharing of entrepreneurship. Look at the dog's age table, I hope this will help everyone!
