Lei Jun graduated from Wuhan University majoring in computer science. It took him only two years to complete all the credits and complete the graduation project.
In addition, the program he wrote not only won the first prize of scientific and technological achievements of college students in Hubei Province, but also won the first pot of gold in life, 6,543.8+0,000 yuan.
After the first venture was stolen and failed, he started at the grassroots level in Jinshan and led Jinshan Software to successfully go public at the age of 38.
At the age of 40, he is not willing to be the ceiling of his career. Even with financial freedom and a successful career, Lei Jun chose a more difficult road: starting a business.
After nearly two years of research and preparation, Lei Jun established Beijing Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. on April 6, 20 10.
In just eight years, Xiaomi mobile phone has become a well-known brand in China, with annual sales exceeding 60 million units.
However, on July 9th, 20 18, at the celebration banquet after Xiaomi was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Lei Jun gave a speech and thanked Li Ka-shing and other four people in front of the big names in the industry.
One of these four people is Zhou Wenchuan.
Why can Zhou Xiaochuan ask Lei Jun to thank her by name on such an important occasion?
All this has to start with Zhou Xuzhou, Zhou Wenchuan's father.
1977, under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping, the college entrance examination system interrupted in 10 was resumed.
Zhou Xuzhou became the second candidate after the resumption of the college entrance examination and was successfully admitted to Wuhan University with 1978. It took me seven years to complete my undergraduate and graduate studies here.
Zhou Wenchuan was born when his father was a graduate student.
After Zhou Xuzhou graduated with a master's degree, he was assigned to work in the general office of Hunan Provincial Party Committee, and went to the grassroots level for exercise one year later.
From 65438 to 0992, Deng Xiaoping began his southern tour and delivered important speeches through Wuchang, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shanghai.
Among them, the three criteria for judging reform and opening up played a key role in promoting economic reform and social progress in the 1990s:
As soon as the southern tour speech came out, many aspiring young people began to go into business. Later, these people were called 92 entrepreneurs.
Zhou Xuzhou is one of them.
After leaving the General Office of Hunan Provincial Party Committee, Zhou Xuzhou went to Hong Kong to develop and founded Yu Ye Group.
It is even more rare for family members to get together less and leave more.
However, Zhou Xuzhou, a visionary, did not neglect the teaching of his daughter. Every time he goes back to his hometown, he will invite his good friends to get together at home, and by the way, let Zhou Wenchuan invite her excellent classmates to be guests at home.
He believes that Excellence itself will produce positive energy and cohesion.
Afterwards, Zhou Xiaochuan recalled:
Not only that, in the face of Zhou Wenchuan's disobedience, he would preach: "If you are worthless, you will never get out of Wangjiashan."
On the one hand, it is the father's high requirements, on the other hand, it is to walk with excellent people. With a two-pronged approach, Zhou Wenchuan has also become excellent and abnormal.
In the year of college entrance examination, Zhou Wenchuan got a good score of 623, which was enough for her favorite Peking University.
But his father, Zhou Xuzhou, has his own idea: "Girls should not do business, don't do business, but study majors, and it is best to study hard."
He suggested that Zhou Wenchuan apply for medical major.
Faced with his father's hope that he would neither be a successor nor study some majors that he considered "soft", Zhou Wenchuan did not want to compromise.
Can let her come to their senses, is her own account:
After thinking, Zhou Wenchuan entered Xiangya Medical College with the first place in the whole department.
She may not have thought that this choice laid her own business empire in the field of big health in the future.
After graduating from college, she began to go abroad for further study. First, he got a bachelor's degree in food nutrition and health physiology from the University of British Columbia, Canada, and then he got a master's degree in food science from the University.
This decade's schooling experience and professional background also laid the foundation for her future success in the field of big health.
In an interview, Zhou Xiaochuan had his own views on his father's interference:
I have to say that Zhou Xiaochuan's getting along with his father is a good interpretation of the essence of the era of fighting dad:
Although, having a reliable and super powerful dad is not a necessary condition for the success of an enterprise; But if you have such a father, you can save people a lot of detours.
In 2008, Zhou Xiaochuan, who returned from his studies, first entered the research institute of securities companies for a period of time.
Later, with the encouragement of her father, she started her own entrepreneurial road.
Considering that the real estate industry belongs to her father's generation, and she will face Yu Ye Group and family business in the next 20 years, she established Zhou Xiao Investment Co., Ltd., which mainly invests in big health, high-end manufacturing and consumption upgrading.
However, the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny.
After all, she has no professional training. At the beginning of her business, due to her inexperience, she directly or indirectly invested in more than 30 enterprises, many of which were in Shui Piao.
At the worst time, I lost a month100000.
She said frankly:
At the same time, in order to make up for her professional deficiencies, she obtained a postgraduate degree in business administration from The Chinese University of China, and successfully obtained a master's degree in business administration on 20 1 1.
With the improvement of investment vision, four of the eight companies she directly invested in later have been listed, and Xiaomi is one of them.
Regarding investment, Zhou Xiaochuan believes that the core of investment is ultimately people.
Zhou Xuzhou, the father of Lei Jun and Zhou Xiaochuan, is an alumnus of Wu Da University and a close friend of hers. This also prompted her to become the second largest investor and the largest individual investor in Xiaomi IPO.
After Xiaomi went public, Zhou Wenchuan's father and daughter also became one of the biggest beneficiaries.
However, her career map goes far beyond investment.
Although Zhou Xuzhou didn't think it was necessary to let his daughter be the successor, as the only child in the family, Zhou Wenchuan joined Yu Ye Group Co., Ltd. as the assistant to the chairman.
20 13, in order to internationalize Yu Ye group, under the impetus of Zhou Xiaochuan, the company successfully acquired Hong Kong listed company "Hong Kong Jihua Biomedical Holdings Co., Ltd." and renamed it "Meirui Health International Industry Group".
Zhou Xiaochuan became the executive director of Meirui Health International Industry Group Co., Ltd. and later served as the chief executive officer.
Zhou Xiaochuan's acquisition of biopharmaceutical companies was well thought out.
She studied medicine for more than ten years and worked in the investment field for more than five years. She is very optimistic about the big health field. She is not satisfied with just investing, but wants to do something of her own:
Today, Meirui Health International has already been listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Its business sector covers health care, health tourism and health real estate, and it is the first listed company to invest in big health industry.
Great health is a concept that became popular after entering 2 1 century. Its core is to make people "live well, live long, get sick less, get sick later, improve their quality of life and walk safely."
What it advocates is a healthy lifestyle with the concept of treating diseases and the purpose of preventing diseases, eliminating sub-health and improving physical fitness to protect health.
With the gradual improvement of people's living standards, great health is gradually accepted by the public.
Zhou Xiaochuan also explained this change from the doctor's point of view:
Considering that the professional level of domestic doctors is not bad, what is lacking is long-term, close and full communication with patients and a comprehensive and in-depth grasp of patients' personal situation.
In addition, many of the latest drugs can't enter the China market at the first time to serve China patients.
Based on these two points, Zhou Xiaochuan began to focus on services and medicines in the global layout.
She not only established or acquired related enterprises in all cities of China, set up health management centers, set up a flagship chronic disease management center in Hongkong, China, but also set up a deep recuperation center in Switzerland.
That's exactly what I said. My ambition is not high.
Less than a few years after the company went public, it achieved an annual profit of 78 million.
At the same time, she began to enter the field of medical marijuana and cells, invested in marijuana groups, and promoted the medical use of marijuana.
The medical value of cannabis has been highly recognized by the global medical community, and the non-psychoactive components in CBD extracted from cannabis have been widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, food industry and health industry.
Moreover, cannabis health industry, as a high-threshold biopharmaceutical industry, has a trend of sweeping the world in recent years.
On June 5438+February, 2020, at the King of the New Economy Conference held by 36Kr in Beijing International Convention Center, Zhou Wenchuan also threw out a heavy news. Meirui Health International plans to apply CBD in the field of skin care and set up a new beauty brand: horse makeup.
However, in the psychology of the general public, marijuana is always a dangerous item.
We can only wait and see whether Zhou Wenchuan's beauty brand can win the trust of consumers.
Today, Zhou Xiaochuan, who is busy with his career, still has an identity as a doctoral student at Wuhan University.
As the saying goes, it is never too old to learn.
What do you think of Zhou Wenchuan?
