"Everyone needs to face up to the gap between us and the international advanced technology and first-class enterprises.
Let's not talk about other things first. Seventy to eighty percent of the laboratory equipment in our school is imported from abroad!
What can we make ourselves?
We can make beakers, tweezers, pliers, and stirrers. We can make more high-end things like gas chromatographs, visible light spectrometers, and microscopes. These are all imported. There are also some domestic products, but it's not the same when it comes to using them.
Some people say that we should support domestic products and not use Japanese products, saying that this is not patriotic. However, I want to say that this has nothing to do with patriotism.
In scientific research, we can't be careless. If your product is good, it's good. If it's not good, it's not good.
It's the same for other products. For example, cameras are better than domestic products. This is a fact. If they spend the same money, as long as they are not stupid, they will choose Japanese products. Only when I'm in a tight spot will I choose or consider domestic products first.
There's nothing wrong with that, right?
So, when you make products in the future, don't complain that others don't choose your products. Instead, think about the gap, accept other people's criticism, and improve yourself … "
After Li He finished speaking, the audience was still silent. There was no applause or words.
"It's almost the year of the dog in 1994. Many newspapers and news media are predicting the eight or ten most popular and profitable industries in the future.
What do you think is the number one industry? "
"Taxis."
"I think it's taxis."
"Computers."
The people below the stage made their guesses.
"It seems that some people have read the newspaper. Yes, taxis. The most popular one is taxis. It's said that buying a small car for a month is this amount!" Li He gestured with his index finger and continued, "More than ten thousand yuan! Amazing, a lot. Small and medium-sized taxis in big cities are rolling in money. Especially after China joined the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, this industry will be even more prosperous.
They then predicted that education, vocational schools, tourism, entertainment, lawyers, pets, restaurants, psychological counseling, and so on will be the most popular and profitable industries … "
The people below the stage laughed again. They could hear the sarcasm in Li He's voice.
Li He was indeed amused. "Let's not talk about whether their predictions are correct or not. What I want to say is that these industries are not industries with explosive growth!
If you want to enter the industry in the future, the best choice is an industry with explosive growth. Which industries are likely to have explosive growth in the future?
Everyone can take a look at the US, because our current development is based on the US, which is the world's number one. Even though Japan and the UK are better than us, they are not the ones we can catch up to.
It was common knowledge that the United States was represented by Nasdaq and Silicon Valley. One was the financing place for high-tech companies, and the other was the location of high-tech companies. Oracle, Dell, Microsoft, Apple, and IBM were all in the computer and software-related industries.
What is the second trend?
It was still related to computers. At present, everyone knew that this computer, modem, and telephone line were connected to each other. It was the Internet.
The future will definitely be the Internet Era. Under the Internet Era, everything will need to be reconstructed … "
"Therefore, especially in the field of mobile communications, everyone needs to pay special attention and research. It will definitely have a bright future.
These are industries that you can't afford to reach tomorrow if you don't pay attention to them today. You have to get a ride as soon as possible and get rich as soon as possible … "Li He talked about IT, new energy, mobile communications, e-commerce, express delivery, finance, and more than a dozen other industries, but he did not mention real estate.
The people below the stage applauded, but Li He's words were too fantastical. No one was willing to believe him when he said that he would be able to get all his needs by shopping at home and not going out for a month.
"If everyone wants to choose a traditional industry, my opinion is that the business model is the most important. It must be a entrepreneurial model that can be easily replicated. This way, you can achieve scale and explosive growth.
For example, if I start a restaurant and my first shop is successful, everything will be streamlined, systematic, and quantified. My second shop will be able to replicate the first one. If there is a second, there will be a third, and a fourth. The most typical example is KFC.
Of course, if you open a small shop or a small restaurant and can't manage it as a chain, I don't think it's entrepreneurship. Because you might be like this for the first year and the second year … This is called survival. "
Li He did not care. After all, he had given the goods based on his conscience. "Some people say that you're just spouting nonsense and saying things that can't be touched or seen. However, I dare to make a bet with everyone that you can remember what I said. 10 years later, if what I said doesn't come true, I welcome everyone to send me … to pour feces on my door."
He wanted to say that he would send razors, but he was afraid that everyone would not understand.
He rambled on and on for more than an hour. Just as he was about to leave the stage after everyone applauded, the students below the stage shouted, "Continue!"
"Yes, we still want to listen."
"That was great."
Li He smiled bitterly. His throat felt like it was on fire.
Professor Wu picked up another microphone next to him. "How about this? Professor Li is also very tired. If there's a chance next time, he will continue speaking. However, according to the usual practice, there can be a Q&A session. After Professor Li answers three questions, this speech can end. "
"Okay." The students applauded. It was not good to push it too far.
The first person to stand up and ask a question did not look like a student. He was wearing glasses and was in his thirties. He was not tall, dark and thin.
He took the microphone from the host and asked loudly, "Professor Li, we all agree with what you said about entrepreneurship. However, it's easy to say that entrepreneurship requires funds. In other words, where does the first pot of gold come from? "
"This involves the problem of financing channels. At present, the financing environment in China is not as smooth as Silicon Valley in the United States. We are now doing such a project, which is incubating entrepreneurship. To put it bluntly, if there are good projects and good ideas, we can invest money.
Everyone goes to Zhongguancun often, so you should know about the Zhongguancun Entrepreneurship Incubation Center. At present, we have four such incubation centers in the country. Zhongguancun is one, Shenzhen is one, and Hong Kong is two. If there's a chance, everyone can go and take a look. I believe you will gain something. "
"Professor Li, I would like to ask a question." A gentle girl picked up the microphone and smoothed her bangs. After getting a signal from Li He, she continued, "I just graduated and am currently working. My monthly salary is only 312 yuan. I won't talk about my work unit, but I would like to ask, how can I save money? As far as I know, you did not have any financing when you started your business. You relied on your own savings to do it. "
Li He smiled and said, "This is a financial problem, and it's also a problem that attracts a lot of attention. Why do many people claim that money is earned and not saved, but Buffett, Bill Gates, Sam Walton, Superman Li, Bao Yugang, and Wang Yongqing still advocate a frugal lifestyle?
Of course, these people are not stingy, and their donations are very generous … "
"Superman Li's watch is only a few thousand yuan. The founder of Formosa Plastics Group, Wang Yongqing, has personal assets of up to 20 billion yuan, but his life is quite simple. He opened a vegetable garden on the top floor of Formosa Plastics Group. Before his mother passed away, he only ate the vegetables he grew …
He used a towel for 27 years.
Mr. Guo Henian is an outstanding entrepreneur and the richest man in Malaysia.
He holds two titles. First, he enjoys the reputation of Asia's Sugar King, and later, he is known as the Hotel King.
He does not like to appear in public, does not like to advertise, and never flaunts his wealth. Moreover, he lives a frugal and simple life.
He always squeezes the subway to and from work. To him, the most extravagant thing is to take a taxi to work.
Almost none of the clothes he wears are more than a hundred yuan … "
