Character evaluation

As an active financial reporter in the front line, Kailin spent a lot of time and energy to investigate the representative domestic private enterprises and communicate with some private entrepreneurs who are active in the public eye. This kind of work gives him the opportunity to understand the panoramic image of China's private enterprises. the reality is that behind the huge wealth created by entrepreneurs, there are still many pessimistic things. These private entrepreneurs are endowed with the unique way of thinking and the unique way of thinking in China. from a macro perspective, the ownership brand of private economy makes private entrepreneurs become a group, and their behaviors and social roles have many similarities. From the micro individual level, private entrepreneurs are in their own stages in the realm of life, and show different temperament characteristics in the way of behavior. In Kailin's view, the first state of Chinese private entrepreneurs should be "to be emaciated for Iraq, and never regret for the widening of their belts.". Most of China's private entrepreneurs are "grassroots entrepreneurs", and they often work hard to build up a family business. That is to say, the first generation of entrepreneurs in China are hardworking and hardworking. the second realm is "last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went to the west tower alone, looking at the end of the world.". At this stage, the private entrepreneurs have not only the joy of success, but also the loneliness of high place. The biggest difficulty they face is "choice". If we describe this state in terms of the development stage of the enterprise, what the enterprise is facing at this time is the "bottleneck of development", which is a major turning point. Although we can "go to the west tower alone and see the end of the world", once the strategic choice is wrong, the road under our feet will come to an end. the third realm of private entrepreneurs is "looking for him in many places, suddenly looking back, the man is in the dim light.". Whether you are a person or an enterprise, you should pay attention to the word "understanding". In the process of enterprise management, all kinds of emotions that have been encountered, such as loss, doubt, pain, persistence, patience, joy and despair, may suddenly penetrate the truth and let go. The insight of "looking back suddenly" is also a kind of wisdom. Kailin believes that most of the entrepreneurs he sees are in the second state of "going to the West building alone and looking to the end of the world". What they are facing is the "second choice" on the road of entrepreneurship. This is what Kailin has been thinking about all the time. He hopes to find something regular and enlighten people. Slowly, in thinking, he thought of "breakthrough".

Entrepreneurs need to break through

For a reporter, it may be easy to find problems, but it is difficult to put forward constructive opinions. In fact, more and more financial reporters have been carrying the mission of exposing and discovering, leaving the construction of rationality to others. This is the difference between Kailin, who came from the college. He not only found, but also built. This unique feature not only made his work quality very high, but also won the recognition of many entrepreneurs. Kailin's point of view is very clear. He thinks that China's private enterprises need to give full play to their subjective initiative to complete three breakthroughs: first, the entrepreneurs' own thinking breakthrough and complete their own gene mutation to adapt to the development trend; second, the breakthrough in the internal system of enterprises, that is, the breakthrough in the management system of micro enterprises; third, the breakthrough in the external ecological environment of private enterprises, This includes the improvement of the legal system and the attitude of social psychology towards entrepreneurs. In Kailin's view, the most dangerous enemy of private entrepreneurs is actually their own brain. In practice, there are many cases that tell us that the founders of many enterprise empires are also the destroyers of enterprise empires. In many cases of enterprise death that have caused a sensation, the final argument result is actually "suicide". It can be explained from a philosophical point of view: internal cause and external cause are dialectically unified. The internal cause is the basis of the change and development of things, which stipulates the basic future and direction of the development of things; the external cause is the condition of the development and change of things, which can promote or delay the change process of things; the external cause always works through the internal cause, and they jointly promote the development and change of things. it is not difficult to see that the internal cause is the mastermind and the external cause is the accomplice for a thing to get worse, while the internal cause is the leading role and the external cause is the supporting role for a thing to get better. In the process of enterprise development, there are many factors that are unpredictable and uncontrollable on the surface, and the success or failure seems to be left to fate. In fact, the depth of people's understanding of things can be extended through experience, learning or other ways, unless it is "force majeure" in the true sense. the case of entrepreneurs' self breakthrough can be seen in many chapters of this book, which belongs to the category of epistemology. Entrepreneurs' attitude to management, thinking mode of industrial strategy, dialectical understanding of competitors, and perception of entrepreneurs' gene mutation are all breakthroughs of their own. all these self breakthrough efforts are a war between entrepreneurs and themselves. If we can't defeat ourselves and surpass ourselves, we can't become "professional entrepreneurs". in fact, our entrepreneurs already have such awareness. A few years on, those who are up and down in the business world don't mind people calling them businessmen or businessmen. But now, they are very concerned about their image positioning, and have formed a transformation track of "businessman entrepreneur professional entrepreneur" in psychological understanding.

Internal system is also a breakthrough

Kailin thinks about professionalization and institutionalization together. His slogan, which has some standards to measure, is accompanied by the institutionalization and standardization of enterprises. Along this line of thinking, Kailin began to subdivide: that is, it is far from enough for entrepreneurs to have the idea of "professional entrepreneur" only in thinking cognition. Without the action of institutional construction within the company, professionalization can only stay in the utopian world of Utopia. Obviously, "non institutionalized survival" is the epitome of the survival of the vast number of private enterprises. Some people say that such a way of life is forced by the situation. The prevalence of a large number of hidden rules can not tolerate the institutionalization and standardization of intensive cultivation of entrepreneurs? Kailin's understanding of "non institutionalized survival" is different. He thinks that most of the factors refer to the behavior of "external behavior" rather than "internal behavior". A victorious army does not necessarily have to be familiar with the art of war. It will be out there, and everything will be guided according to the circumstances. That is to say, the external behavior of the army is always "result oriented", and too many institutional norms are often the stumbling block in the pursuit of victory. However, the internal behavior of a victorious army is often constrained by strict discipline, which is the standard "institutionalized survival". the same is true for the survival of enterprises. Even if the way of behavior in the market competition can be dissociated at the edge of institutionalization, the internal management of enterprises still needs to take "institutionalization" as the principle, which also matches the slogan of "establishing modern enterprise system" and "scientific corporate governance structure". in terms of internal management structure, most of our medium-sized and above private enterprises have their own board of directors, but in reality, such a structural arrangement is very fragile. The structural balance of the board of directors system is like a beautiful vase in front of the authority of entrepreneurs. the board system in family business is a typical "feudal monarchy". The board of directors in such enterprises is like the ears of the deaf, belonging to furnishings. Its existence is only to meet the requirements of the law, and its only value is to serve as the "democratic mask" of the enterprise monarch. The board of directors of "constitutional monarchy" is specially prepared for those entrepreneurs who are tired of dictatorship. Although such enterprises have the ideal of "Republic", they are not ready to give up power. They belong to "democratic speculators". All their efforts are just to consolidate the power of their families and serve their "surnames". a good enterprise internal system can make up for the defects of many entrepreneurs, ease their mania, restrain their fantasy and impulse, limit their arbitrariness and punish their mistakes. However, this breakthrough in internal management requires entrepreneurs to give up their infatuation with "rule of man". The operation mode of the board of directors is determined by the enterprise form of "home world", so it is difficult to avoid the situation of "dancing alone".

There is such a record in Yanzi Chunqiu neipianzaxia: "orange is born in Huainan, orange is born in Huaibei, orange is born in Huainan, orange is born in Huaibei, leaf is similar, actually taste is different. So what? Water and soil are different. " Why does Huainan's big and sweet orange turn into sour and small orange when it is transplanted to Huaibei? Because the soil is different, the environment is different. In the same way, for domestic private entrepreneurs, there is not much room for environmental choice, they can only choose in the market
