*|Business Legends.
In 2011, in the D32 dormitory of Minhang Campus of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, three master's students who are in their second year of graduate school established a studio called Mihoyo together.
In college, it is not surprising that various interest groups are formed. The three of them are all computer enthusiasts, and they are all two-dimensional enthusiasts, and the studio is not doing much of a lofty thing
Develop games. Who would have thought that these three students would do something big, and 10 years later, the three of them will be on the rich list, and now the total wealth of the three of them is more than 100 billion yuan.
Nowadays, students are very curly, and parents often say that they are not afraid that the top students are educated, but they are afraid that the school top students will have a vacation.
This can be said in another way, if you are not afraid that the academic bully is educated, you are afraid that the academic bully will be in a group.
In the 2023 Hurun Report, there are many top students who have formed a group to make it to the rich list at a young age, and they are all from well-known universities in China.
The three graduate students mentioned at the beginning of this article are named Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei, and Luo Yuhao.
The leading brother "Cai Haoyu" is not only a top student since he was a child, but also a little guy with strong hands-on ability.
He is a native of Jinan, his parents are computer teachers at Jinan Jiaotong College, when Cai Haoyu was 5 years old, he once followed his mother to the computer room, and turned on the computer by himself, ran the program, and played games.
Many parents saw their children playing games, as if they were facing a big enemy, but Cai Haoyu's parents were very open-minded, since the child liked it, they simply bought him a very advanced 586 computer at that time to cultivate his interest. However, people have good guidance, and Xiao Cai Haoyu is not just playing games, but doing the right thing, and he has not fallen behind in learning.
At the age of 8, Cai Haoyu won the second prize of the second national computer animation competition, and when he was still in the sixth grade of Baliqiao Primary School in Jinan City, 12-year-old Cai Haoyu was selected as the first batch of young academicians of the Chinese Juvenile Academy of Sciences. After graduating from high school, he was admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University majoring in computer science and studied until graduate school.
Here, he met Liu Wei and Luo Yuhao, all three of whom were born in 1987. Liu Wei is a native of Ningxiang, Changsha City, Hunan Province, and Luo Yuhao is a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province.
In January 2011, the three of them received an interest-free loan of 100,000 yuan from the Shanghai Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center to set up the studio in the dormitory. After graduation, the three of them established a company, and the Chinese name of mihoyo is ——
miHoYo. The three of them are all technical men, Cai Haoyu and Luo Yuhao are more "homely", mainly responsible for technology and development, and Liu Wei, who is relatively outgoing, is responsible for external affairs and team operations.
After all, when the studio was founded, the three were still students, and the game developed at the beginning had a deep campus atmosphere, called Honkai School Park, and a series was formed.
In the first few years, the company was tepid, until 2020, when the three of them developed "Genshin Impact", which became popular and became the most profitable mobile game, and miHoYo's revenue exceeded 10 billion yuan that year, attracting many bigwigs interested in acquiring it.
In 2022, it only took 10 years for the three to reach the rich list, with a wealth of 21 billion yuan, 11.5 billion yuan and 10.5 billion yuan respectively. In 2023, it will be even more impressive, reaching 67 billion yuan, 37 billion yuan and 35 billion yuan respectively, and the total wealth of the three people will reach nearly 140 billion yuan.
It's no wonder that in 2022, miHoYo's operating income will be 273400 million yuan, and the net profit reached an astonishing 1614.5 billion yuan, such a gold-absorbing ability, some of the world's top 500 companies can't catch up.
It can be said that the 3 top students have made it to the rich list while "playing".
There are also 3 top students, who are also "playing", and now they are also on the rich list.
They are from another prestigious university, Nanjing University, and they are all 2005 students of the School of Software, and they were also born in 1987, named Wang Xinwen, Yuan Shuai and Zhang Hao. Unlike Cai Haoyu, who started a business in the dormitory when they were still studying, the three of them got together after work.
After graduating in 2009, he and Yuan Shuai entered the Northern Lights Studio, which specializes in developing games. Zhang Hao stayed in school for graduate school and worked here after graduation.
It is said that at that time, there were often investors wandering around the park of this Internet giant, targeting young people who were not willing to be mediocre
Dig "they start a business."
Coincidentally, in 2013, Wang Xinwen's evaluation was only "C" grade. As is customary at the plant, there is a risk of being dissuaded. At the same time, according to him, he was not satisfied with the salary, which was only 1,000 yuan.
However, this 1,000 yuan is not a monthly salary, but a daily salary.
After working for a few years, the three of them have a good understanding of the game industry, and believe that with the popularization of smartphones, mobile games will be the future development direction, while large manufacturers generally did not pay attention to mobile games at that time, and did not invest much.
So, Wang Xinwen pulled two classmates to resign at the same time to develop mobile games.
At first, it didn't go well. The income brought by the first product is only 300 yuan, which is not as much as Wang Xinwen's income from working half a day at work.
However, the next year, they launched a hit - "Dota Legend" (that is, "Xiaoice Ice Legend"), which brought more than 2 billion yuan in revenue that year.
After that, a number of products with quite good performance such as "Sword and Home" were launched.
Today, Lilith, co-founded by the three of them, has an annual operating income of more than 10 billion yuan, ranking 19th among the 30 highest-grossing game companies in the world in 2022.
In 2022, the three of them will be on the rich list, Wang Xinwen's wealth is 8.5 billion yuan, Yuan Shuai and Zhang Hao are both 5.5 billion yuan, and their wealth will remain unchanged in 2023.
It is worth mentioning that the three of them also recruited many younger students, and now, many important positions are alumni of the School of Software of Nanjing University.
There are also 3 students who will also be on the Hurun Report in 2023, and they are from a listed company on the Science and Technology Innovation Board called Baichu Electronics.
Strictly speaking, they are 5 people, and they are not like the previous top students who play games.
Their names are Tang Ye, Dai Tiantian, Lu Lin, Wan Zhang, and Xie Miao.
The first four people are all 2007 master's students of the School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Xie Miao is 2 years old.
Some of them have undergraduates in Shanghai Jiaotong University, and some of them are only admitted as graduate students, and their ages are not exactly the same. Tang Ye, born in 1981, graduated from Nanjing University of Technology with a bachelor's degree; Lu Lin, a native of Hubei Province born in 1980, graduated from Hefei University of Technology with a bachelor's degree; Wan Zhang, who was born in 1982, studied at the National University of Defense Technology. Dai Tiantian and Xie Miao, slightly younger, were born in 1983 and 1984 respectively, and were admitted to Shanghai Jiaotong University as undergraduates.
The five came together later. At the beginning, the school had a research and development team for the control system of the dispensing robot, with more than 10 people, and also received the support of Shanghai college students' entrepreneurship.
Later, some people quit, some people joined, and finally these 5 people were the main ones.
In March of that year, a private house near Shanghai Jiaotong University, with three bedrooms and one living room, was used as an office and a dormitory.
At first, the company had no income, and each person only received 300 yuan per month for living expenses.
And the classmates all have a monthly salary of tens of thousands, and they can be said to be the worst.
At one time, Tang Ye also set a goal for himself-
There was no breakthrough in 3 months, so I went to find a job and worked with peace of mind.
Fortunately, within the deadline, they obtained the innovation fund of the Minhang District Science and Technology Commission of the Shanghai market, and then got a number of projects, and in just one or two years, they became the first in the country in the dispensing robot control system.
The dispensing robot control system is only a small subdivided industry, even if they do the first in the country, they only have an annual income of less than 10 million yuan. In 2010, 5 people expanded their business to laser cutting systems.
All of a sudden, I found the big blue ocean.
Their systems are mainly sold to laser cutting equipment manufacturers, and as the demand for laser cutting has exploded, their revenue has also broken through the bottleneck.
Today, their system is used in the equipment of almost all laser cutting enterprises in China, providing services to more than 300 enterprises around the world.
By 2016, the revenue had exceeded 1200 million yuan, and the first three quarters of 2023 have reached 9900 million yuan, breaking through 1 billion yuan is a sure thing.
In August 2019, Bochu Electronics was listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and is one of the first batch of listed companies on the Science and Technology Innovation Board in China.
At the listing ceremony, five people wore T-shirts from Shanghai Jiaotong University and rang the bell. On many other important occasions, when 5 people attend collectively, they often wear T-shirts from Shanghai Jiaotong University, forming a special scenery.
In 2019, Tang Ye, Dai Tiantian, Lu Lin, and Wan Zhang all appeared on the rich list, with the highest wealth being Tang Ye, with a wealth of 4.3 billion yuan, and the remaining 3 people ranging from 2.6 billion yuan to 3.3 billion yuan. In 2021, Xie Miao will also be on the list, and 5 top students from Shanghai Jiaotong University will gather on the rich list.
In 2023, only Tang Ye, Dai Tiantian, and Lu Lin will be on the list, with wealth of 7.5 billion yuan, 6 billion yuan, and 5.2 billion yuan respectively.
The above 3 "classmates gang", when they appeared on the rich list, were all less than 40 years old, which can be called legends.
From classmates to co-entrepreneurs, and then to the rich, before them, there were many cases.
For example, BYD, Wang Chuanfu, Yang Longzhong, and Wang Nianqiang are 1985 classmates majoring in metallurgical physics and chemistry at Central South University. After graduating, they went their separate ways, Wang Chuanfu went to Beijing to study for graduate school, and Yang Longzhong and Wang Nianqiang were assigned to work in their hometowns in Jiangxi and Anhui.
In 1993, when Wang Chuanfu was sent to Shenzhen, he first brought Yang Longzhong; Founded BYD in 1994, and brought in Wang Nianqiang.
In 2009, Wang Chuanfu became the richest man in China, Yang Longzhong and Wang Nianqiang also appeared on the rich list, and now Yang Longzhong has left BYD, and Wang Nianqiang serves as BYD's vice president.
Li Zhenguo, Li Chunan and Zhong Baoshen from Shaanxi LONGi are also classmates, all of whom are 1986 students majoring in semiconductor materials in the Department of Physics of Lanzhou University.
They are even more legendary, before graduation, when several people were walking in the playground, when they talked about their ideals, they agreed that if they start a business in the future, they would be named after Jiang Longji, the meritorious old president of Lanzhou University.
After graduating, several people went their separate ways and were assigned to different units. Li Chunan and Zhong Baoshen once started a business in Liaoning, and Li Zhenguo also started a business in Xi'an.
They approached Jiang LONGi's daughter for advice, and after obtaining consent, they changed the company's name to "LONGi" and founded a photovoltaic giant.
Today, the wealth of the three people reaches 41.5 billion yuan, 28 billion yuan and 5 billion yuan respectively.
Not only these three people, but also many alumni of Lanzhou University within LONGi, and the LONGi Alumni Association was established, and in the past few years, it has donated hundreds of millions of yuan to its alma mater.
What's more coincidental is that all 3 people are from Henan.
In addition, Meituan's Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen are classmates and roommates at Tsinghua University, and the other founder, Lai Binqiang, is Wang Xing's middle school classmate and graduated from Tianjin University.
They all graduated from prestigious schools, and all of them are top students.
Of course, there are several classmates of Penguin, but compared with the above famous schools, Shenzhen University is inferior.
The energy is indeed quite amazing.
