British Prime Minister Winston Winston Winston once said that you can see as far into the future as you can see in the past.
Personally, I particularly like this quote.
History is changing, and the times are developing. How a person views history is actually how he sees the present. People who are not interested in history will not really understand the reality of the present situation. It's a big part of everyone's worldview, and arguably a very important part. If this part is missing, then there will be a lack of perception of the change and development of today's world, and then you will fall into the personal world.
I read history, I don't like to read events, I like to read people. The event is the result, and the talent is the leader. I want to know why this person would make such a decision in this environmentThat's why I read "The Biography of Guan Zi", "The Biography of Zhang Liang", "The Despicable Sage: Cao Cao", "Zeng Guofan", "The Unity of Knowledge and Action: Wang Yangming", "Zhang Juzheng", "Kangxi the Great", "Wu Zetian", "The Biography of Einstein", "The Biography of Keynes", "The Biography", "The Biography of Ren Zhengfei" and so on. I don't read much of the biographies of foreign historical celebrities, because I basically don't have a dabble in foreign history, so I can't understand their principles and thinking patterns of life and work. I had a preference for Keynes and Einstein, the sages of economics and physics, so I read their biographies. Knowing how a person sees, thinks, and does is a valuable insight. In particular, how the person sees and thinks is very important. As for what to do in the end, it is often a combination of knowledge and action.
In the second chapter of the book, Mr. Zhang Lei is reviewing his first step as an investor. In fact, Mr. Zhang Lei mentioned some seemingly unimportant and very casual arguments when he reviewed the review. But in my opinion, these are what he really sees, what he thinks. Well worth a read. The following is an excerpt.
This passage may be Mr. Zhang Lei's instinct, when reviewing history, the first thing he thinks of is still the research object he pays the most attention to: people. What kind of people should I invest in?People who have knowledge, technology and business models, and understand the operation of modern venture capital and capital markets, and these people, in that era, are often "returnees". This is Mr. Zhang Lei's perspective as an investor.
From the perspective of entrepreneurs, if we want to attract investors like Mr. Zhang Lei, then the potential qualities include the above: knowledge, technology, business model, understanding of investment, and understanding of capital operation. It can be summed up in the corresponding five questions.
Does my team have the knowledge in this area of entrepreneurship?
Does my team have what it takes to turn knowledge into the technology it needs?
Has my team created a new business model in this entrepreneurial space?
Does my team have a clear understanding of the risks and benefits of starting a business?What is the risk tolerance range and where is the expected profit point?How to reduce risks, how to increase returns, and how to maximize the value of innovation
If my team wants to attract external investment, at what stage should I introduce strategic investors, and what kind of investment model and investment plan should my team fit into?
Today's article is inspired by Zhang Lei's Value. If you want to have a deeper understanding of the essence of Zhang Lei's wisdom, you can also read "Value".
This book is the crystallization of Zhang Lei's wisdom accumulated after years of precipitation, how Zhang Lei counterattacked from 0 to 500 billion, his investment skills and his wisdom in wealth, knowledge, social and thinking are also included in this book.
There is also a lot of scarce information in the book, including a detailed breakdown of 7 Hillhouse investment formulas and more than 10 investment cases.
Zhang Lei is not only an investor, but also a thinker. What I learned from this book is not only the investment logic that he has accumulated for many years, but also his life wisdom.
I have read this book many times, and every time I can be shocked by Zhang Lei's thoughts, many investment, wealth, and confused problems encountered in life, Zhang Lei has already given solutions in the book, and some even have steps.
The number of recommendations for this book is even more staggering, with more than 50 business leaders recommending this book.
This book is very thick, but as long as a cup of coffee money, you can read the essence of Zhang Lei's wisdom precipitated for many years, and spending time to read is a low-pay, high-yield way to control time, which will continue to affect your future life
