The movie "Partners in China" quickly became a topical movie after its release. On the one hand, because the aftertaste of "To Youth" is still there, "Partners in China" is regarded as a review of "post-60s" and "post-70s" On the other hand, for the first time, business people and entrepreneurs in China have a movie that tells their own stories, which makes this group of people with considerable voice actively recommend this movie. A set of photos at the end of the film is interpreted as a tribute to the entrepreneurs of China's "92 School" and to those who test the waters of the modern enterprise system. They are the representatives of the earliest entrepreneurs in China with a clear and explicit shareholder awareness.
And the entrepreneurs who appeared at the end of the film are rapidly forming a trend of the times in 2013.
In just half a year, we have seen Jianlibao founder Li Jingwei passed away; in the struggle with Ping An, Ge Wenyao of Shanghai Jahwa announced that "I may still have two or three years." These reluctance to speak out, coupled with the few advances and retreats of Liu Chuanzhi, founder of Lenovo Group, Wang Shiyuan, founder of Vanke Group, went to Harvard to study, Shi Yuzhu, founder of Giant, retired, and Ma Weihua, president of China Merchants Bank, retired. On the Chinese economic stage, An era really seems to have faded away.
From 1984, when the prototype of a modern private company appeared on a large scale in China, it started to turn around in 2013. It has been exactly 30 years, and it is the time for a generation to complete the journey from the stage to the curtain call. And when we look back at this era, the impression of China's economy is that it is so special. Some people say that in just 2 hours of "China Partner", they have seen more than 30 years of China's reform and opening up. To a certain extent, this is also the thirty years of the development of China's contemporary commercial civilization.
"Opening up" provides a driving force for the development and change of China's market economy. Full economic freedom also brings full freedom of thought, including, of course, innovation in management ideas. Every entrepreneur has his own management style, but none of them can completely jump out of this era. China's traditional culture and foreign market economy have formed a unique civilized atmosphere of Chinese business in this era.
All big eras are unique and interesting. Many people miss the era of opportunity in the early days of reform and opening up, the era of "creating something from nothing". The post-Cultural Revolution, the transition to the planned economy, the clumsy state-owned enterprises, and the nascent private township and village enterprises all together created the business ecology of this era.
In 1986, four young college students in Lianyuan, Hunan started their own business, melting copper and zinc together in proportion for welding. At that time, the only remaining one of the original four domestic production plants was given priority to supply foreign trade, so the domestic solder has increased in price exponentially because the supply is in short supply. And in that era, no one came to fill the gap in this market. As a result, four people including Liang Wengen, Tang Xiuguo, Yuan Jinhua and Mao Zhongwu finally started at this opportunity and formed the current Sany Group.
In the 1980s, if there was a company facing the market with more than 100 people, it was already a very large company. And just 30 years later, a company with 100,000 employees is not one of the best in the country.
In addition to the rise of China's economy, the market economy also gave China a new gift in its adolescence, and that is the relatively independent business class created by the free competitive market. If there is a person who looks back at the era of China's rise after a hundred years, he will definitely say that this is a free-competitive enterprise that is like a wild grass, and it will grow wildly at will. In every segment where there is a customer demand, there are hundreds and thousands of producers scrambling to get business to their own companies. In much of the Chinese economy, they worry about being dumped by customers tomorrow, and they worry about when the government will introduce changed policies.
However, China's contemporary business society still has a strong "Chinese tradition", that is, "it is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to defend the world." When conquering the world, the future and futures are allocated to partners, so people generally do not When you sit in the world, you get what you have, and today, you get what everyone can see on the table. The problem of survival is solved, how to spend the money, everyone has their own preferences. When it comes to "winning", they have no "rules" or "bottom lines" in the traditional sense, they represent a business civilization that is more aggressive and better at using the raw power of human nature.
After more than 30 years of high-speed "barbaric growth", Chinese enterprises must now participate in rebuilding the entire business ecological chain while acquiring huge social wealth. Otherwise, the inherent sin that accompanies Chinese entrepreneurs will become an unbreakable spell on their heads.
Enterprises are economic cells. They are not only "wealth animals", but also "social animals". A company that does not assume social and public responsibility is destined to not go too far. will be despised by the world.
The history of Chinese enterprises reflects the footprints of 30 years of reform and opening up. Entrepreneurs are galloping in the business world, and they also write this special elite group's rethinking of society and itself. They create dreams, but also leave imperfect marks. The new generation of "Chinese partners" should work together on the shoulders of giants to create new legends.
