Many changes in my life happened after I was 57 years old-Wang Shi.

First, always challenge, not afraid of life and death.

Wang Shi was born to love new things, embrace nature and challenge himself. He loves and engages in many sports, such as cycling, tennis, football, marathon and swimming. It is also promoted within the enterprise, which drives employees to love sports together and forms a part of corporate culture. Many achievements have been made in paragliding, mountaineering, skiing, rowing and other projects that professionals can't reach.

Through exercise, I went to more no-man's land, got along with nature, and learned about the smallness and loneliness of human beings. Cherish the dribs and drabs of life, cherish the material and refuse to waste.

In fact, he doesn't have the natural exercise conditions. 1995 was diagnosed as lumbar hemangioma and was told that he might be paralyzed. This made him pay attention to his health and became an opportunity for him to start climbing at the age of 48.

Choose a sports life, and of course choose a rational and temperate life.

He gets up at about 5: 30 every day and starts exercising at 6: 00/-1.5 hours.

He tried to realize his heroic dream:

Set a 6 100m outdoor paragliding climbing record and kept it for 16 years.

By 2005, he had completed 7+2 mountain climbing, conquered the highest peaks of seven continents and hiked the South Pole and the North Pole.

Since 2006, after passing through Xuanzang Road in Gobi, I promised to give up a bad habit-giving up drinking and never touching alcohol again.

63 years old, practicing mermaid line.

Second, insist on doing the right thing.

1. Insist on enterprise system construction, such as honesty. 1993, a Vanke employee cashed in 300,000 yuan by cheque and fled to Vietnam with the money. He insisted that it took more than 2 million yuan and 3 years to catch him. 20 14 advocates the establishment of an anti-fraud alliance, gathering domestic excellent enterprises to enjoy the list of dishonest employees, so that dishonest employees who pay bribes, occupy enterprise property, sell business secrets and use their powers to seek improper benefits cannot be re-employed in the alliance enterprises.

In 2000, the forum of "Complaining Vanke" was established to directly face customer complaints. Exposing Vanke's complaints to the public in the form of a forum actually increases the difficulty of dealing with the problem and makes it easy for the owners to unite and expand the situation. On the other hand, some other enterprises solve problems privately at most. However, Vanke has always adhered to the principle of open and transparent corporate governance, which has also made Vanke gradually move towards Excellence.

In 2000, Vanke headquarters proposed to switch the general managers of two companies in Beijing and Shanghai during the rotation of senior management cadres, but encountered resistance. Two general managers surnamed Lin resigned publicly. At that time, the media called it the "Erlin" incident, and a number of professionals such as finance, marketing, engineering technology and property management lost. However, Wang Shi insisted that he would rather lose the general manager than let the established system become a mere formality.

2. Stick to the enterprise bottom line.

No bribes. How different it is to implement a concept that is not recognized by the outside world and the industry, and it will cost enterprises a lot in practice. More business people and scholars believe that Vanke does not pay bribes is the slogan. Professor Huang Tieying from Guanghua School of Management of Peking University made a 13 survey in the classroom of Guanghua School of Management of Peking University on April 38+May, 2002-2065: those who thought Vanke did not pay bribes raised their hands and made a live video. As a result, more than half of people never believe that Vanke does not pay bribes. It is not easy for an enterprise to insist on doing something with faith and value, but Wang Shi never gives up.

More than 25% of the profits are not earned, which allows enterprises to focus on their own industries, become more rational, reverse the management ability of enterprises, and lay the core competitiveness for coping with the crisis in the afternoon.

3. 1999 resigned as general manager and 20 17 resigned as chairman. For the founder of an enterprise, it is very uncomfortable to transfer power at a certain height every time. In particular, he is used to the daily life where everything goes well and the hobby of holding power strongly. However, far from the center of power and stage, Wang Shi can bravely make rational decisions for Vanke's future.

Third, associate with excellent people.

In 2002, he visited Chu Shijian in Poyu Mountain. The 74-year-old man pointed to the orange orchard on the mountain and imagined the harvest scene six years later, which deeply touched Wang Shi. This entrepreneurial spirit that is not afraid of difficulties, this fighting spirit that does not bow to fate, is the blood of real entrepreneurs.

He loved classical music and played the violin in Liu Yuansheng by attending concerts, and became one of Vanke's business partners and major shareholders after listing, which made it a much-told story in the investment community.

Sincere communication with the president of Tokyo Architecture, persistent pursuit of Tadao Ando's works, and making friends with him have made Wang Shi's unique vision. Work with great entrepreneurs, do charity together, and serve the disadvantaged groups together. Do public welfare and know different fields. Even go international and speak for China entrepreneurs. Communicate with superiors and take him to a higher territory step by step.

Fourth, face setbacks and change yourself.

In 2008, the "turning point theory" and the "donation door" incident severely hit the 57-year-old Wang Shi. Re-recognize yourself and bid farewell to personal heroism. I also began to change myself at a deeper level, not just a simple change in my personal role.

At the age of 60 (20 1 1), I went to Harvard, and it was very difficult to learn English again. However, in order to realize his learning dream, he took every opportunity to speak in English. Taking "the social status of Japanese industrial and commercial class in Edo era" as his research direction is related to his long-term study of Japanese culture and the craftsman spirit of Japanese enterprises. He traces back to history to find the answer.

At the age of 62, he went to Cambridge to study the history of Jewish immigrants in East Asia from the perspectives of religion, sociology and anthropology.

At the same time, he also reflected on life more in the process of learning, correctly explored the meaning of life, realized his own shortcomings, and became more tolerant of his peers because of his lack of ability. Complete the personal thought transformation from "don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you" to "don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you".
