Character experience, Liu Hao.

"Liu Hao, since 2000, has been responsible for several investment projects of Orchid Asia Holdings in China, such as Zhaopin Recruitment. Baoying/Cradle Group, Ctrip and Yi Bei. In 2002, 1 1 became the CEO of Zhaopin.com. " It is estimated that anyone who has seen this experience will have a strong interest in the protagonist. Liu Hao, who has always been low-key, finally accepted an exclusive interview with reporters.

Physics became the initial ideal: "We should eat, drink, and have fun in details, but why should we stumble over this life in vain?" —— Professor Li Zhengdao, a famous Chinese-American theoretical physicist, quoted Du Fu's poem.

Physics is a science developed by Einstein in the 20th century. In 1979, the anniversary of Einstein's birth100th, teenage Liu Hao came into his mind. This seed blossomed when Liu Hao faced the college entrance examination to fill in her volunteers. "I only filled in the physics department of Peking University as my first choice." "I chose Peking University because the atmosphere there is more relaxed and democratic." Liu Hao read many books in high school and became interested in philosophy. He began to contact the works of the German philosopher Kant, whose personal interest was not so much metaphysics as physics. Compared with the computer craze and economic and trade craze in China in the late 1980s, the choice of Liu Hao with excellent performance is unique and unique. Maybe this is the beginning of one unique choice after another in his life?

Liu Hao got the second place in Beijing College Entrance Examination and got the master's degree in Physics Department of Peking University 120. "Four years in college, I feel that time flies too fast. First, because of the storm, I was busy taking the TOEFL and studying abroad. " However, Liu Hao still misses four years of college very much. "I think university provides such an opportunity: you can meet all kinds of excellent and talented people. Maybe you were the number one scholar in a school or even a city before you went to college, but when you arrive at Peking University, you will find that there are too many such people around you, and each of them has unique advantages and talents. " Liu Hao felt that in such a powerful environment, he could know himself more clearly. "I feel that my four years in Peking University not only cultivated my learning ability, but also the relaxed atmosphere of Peking University gave me room for imagination."

From 65438 to 0992, Liu Hao flew to Washington University to continue his physics research. During his first year in the United States, Liu Hao was deeply moved. "Most of my past ideals came from my belief in saving the country through science. This belief was broken in the first year in America. There are many excellent scientists and engineers from China around me, but their talents are used by another society. The fundamental reason also lies in the economic and legal system that supports the operation of a society. My interest gradually shifted to this aspect. After thinking for a long time, I decided to give up physics and study law instead. "

Law is the Foundation of Business Operation —— Choosing Yale Law School

Harvard and Yale are the two oldest universities in America. Harvard was founded in 1636 and Yale was founded in 170 1. For a long time, there were only two universities in America. In the past 300 years, these two universities have had a far-reaching impact on American politics, culture and economy. Harvard is particularly leading in business and political science; Yale is unique in literature, drama and music. As for medical school and law school, both schools are famous for their deep strength. The so-called "Yale spirit" is still understood as a spirit of pursuing individual independence and maintaining academic autonomy, even at any cost. This spirit can be said to be very consistent with the original founding spirit of the United States.

Liu Hao got his wish and started a three-year doctoral program at Yale University. "I chose Yale Law School because I feel that three years has a solid theoretical foundation, which is more meaningful than reading only two years and finding a good job to study for an MBA." When faced with a choice, Liu Hao always shows his unconventional, unique views and impetuous personality.

In America, the more famous law schools are, the less attention is paid to imparting knowledge. Yale has pushed this concept to the extreme. After a class, students who are used to rote thinking often feel that they have not learned anything, but have learned something more valuable to you-the lawyer's way of thinking. For any problem, we should be able to analyze its individual elements. "When we are in class, the teacher uses so-called Socratic questions and questions. Emphasize the ability to think and analyze problems independently. There are many excellent people among my classmates, which has benefited me a lot. "

After graduation, Liu Hao passed the bar exam and entered Davies Polk & Wardwell, a firm with a history of 150 years, once had a deep relationship with China. When Li Hongzhang established the bonds of Huguang Railway, the law firm was in charge. It was a very competitive environment, and Liu Hao needed to work 70-80 hours a week. He started as a junior lawyer and soon became the focus of training.

When choosing a major, Liu Hao chose the relatively unpopular tax law instead of the booming securities industry as in the past. "American society is very complicated, and the government's fiscal revenue is maintained by taxes. I think the content of the tax law is more than that of the securities industry. "

After two years as a lawyer, Liu Hao leads a busy and full life. "If you persist in doing this, you will have great hope of becoming a partner after 7-8 years, with an annual salary of1-2 million dollars and a relatively rich and decent life." But Liu Hao doesn't want to see what life will be like in the next 20-30 years at the age of 30. Adventure and unwillingness in his bones encouraged him. "I have been a lawyer for two years and learned what I want to learn. I hope to return to China as soon as possible. " In order to return to China to engage in venture capital.

In order to return to China as soon as possible, Liu Hao chose to move from the east coast of the United States to the west of California. He soon joined Orchid Asia Holding Company and engaged in venture capital in Asia. Taking this opportunity, Liu Hao returned to his motherland after an eight-year absence. Talking about the motivation of returning to China, he said, "China is a vibrant place, and I hope to give full play to my greatest value."

Liu Hao has been investing for three years, met all kinds of people and learned a lot. "My company's investment concept is very advanced, and it is also very successful in domestic investment, such as Ctrip and Yi Bei."

In these three years, Liu Hao lived as an "International liberal" (International

Freeman), shuttling between San Francisco headquarters, Beijing and Shanghai, flying to Beijing once a month or two on average, spending a lot of time on the plane. "It is estimated that it has flown hundreds of thousands of kilometers."

Such a high-intensity, irregular and unstable life made Liu Hao have no vacation time for three years. "However, after returning to China, I found that the changes were too great, and I was very enthusiastic about my work."
