What is the secret of Li Ka-shing's success?
Li Ka-shing's suggestion.
1. 17 years old began to be a wholesale salesman, more aware of the difficulty of making money and the hardships of life. If people do it for 8 hours, I will do it for 16 hours.
In our society, there are countless people who have made great achievements from scratch without a college degree, among which outstanding entrepreneurs are even more remarkable. They contribute to the society through their own activities, and the society returns their lofty honor and great wealth.
3. Smart merchants can penetrate business awareness into everything in life, even every gesture. Businessmen full of business cells can make money anytime and anywhere.
I must be fully prepared before doing anything. Doing business and handling things has always been like this. For example, the observatory says the weather is fine, but I often ask myself, what will I do if a typhoon is announced in five minutes? I should keep this mental preparation when doing business in Hong Kong.
A shrewd businessman can only exert the function of business intelligence to the extreme with a keen sense of smell, while a company boss who is insensitive and behind closed doors often does nothing.
I never stop reading books about new technologies and new knowledge, so that I won't be out of touch with the trend of the times because I don't know new information.
7. Even if I have the power of 100, I will save 200 to attack, instead of just taking a gamble.
8. Don't forget to expand cautiously, and don't forget to expand cautiously. ..... What I emphasize is to strike a balance between prudence and enterprising. The ship must go fast, but it must withstand the wind and waves.
9. Don't look too good in good times, and don't look too ugly in bad times. The most important thing is to have foresight. Killing the goose that lays the golden egg is short-sighted.
10. There is no need to hesitate. Competition is desperate, but also a battle of wits. If you don't even have this courage, how can you stand in the mall and surpass the land?
1 1. Be sincere to people, be responsible for things, make more good relationships, and you will naturally get more help from others. Carefree life is indifferent, with no ambition, no wild desires, peace of mind and many setbacks.
12. In times of adversity, you should ask yourself whether you have enough conditions. When I am in adversity, I think I have had enough! Because I am diligent and persistent, I am willing to learn and build a good reputation.
13. Doing business must be the same as playing ball. If the first shot is not good, keep calm and plan when shooting the second shot. That doesn't mean you will lose. Just like business, there are ups and downs. When you are in adversity, you should calmly consider how to deal with it.
14. I am modest on the surface, but I am actually proud. Others keep the status quo every day, but I always want to climb up. So when I do business, I should be alert to myself. If I continue to have such a proud heart, I will hit a wall sooner or later.
15. Go to the next level to do business, you can't be greedy, let alone insatiable.
16. Any kind of industry, if there is a trend of rushing headlong into mass action and excessive development, will cause disaster.
17. Pay attention to whether there is any business to do around you at any time, so as to seize the opportunity and grasp the starting point of the rising wave. The sooner you start, the better. When something unusual happens, I immediately think of making money, which is the quality that a businessman should have.
18. It is also an illusory wish to build a strong country because of the shortage of talents. On the other hand, countries with scarce resources can overcome all kinds of difficulties and make the country prosperous if they are talented and good at opening up new sources and reducing expenditure. Historically, countries with poor resources are not necessarily weak, which can be proved.
19. If not so many people work for me today, even if I have superhuman powers, I can't cope with so many things, so the key to success is that someone can help you and is willing to work with you. This is my philosophy.
20. Don't keep mentioning me. What kind of superman I am is the result of our joint efforts in Qi Xin. There are 300 generals around me, of whom 100 are foreigners and 200 are Hong Kong people in their prime.
2 1. The name of the Yangtze River is based on the principle that the Yangtze River does not choose trickle, because you have to have such an open mind, and then you can accommodate trickle. How can it become the Yangtze River without small tributaries?
22. In my mind, no matter what color you are or what nationality you are, as long as you contribute to the company, are loyal, are willing to do things and have a sense of belonging, that is, have a long-term plan, I will help him gradually become a core member after a period of time. This is the consistent policy of our company.
23. The commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief of a group army. Picking up a machine gun is never as good as an organ gunner, and operating a cannon is never as good as an artillery team. But as the commander-in-chief of the group army, don't worry about this. As long as you know how to use strategy, the whole organization is very important.
24. Talent is inexhaustible. It is natural for you to be kind to others, and anyone in the world can be your core figure.
25. Knowing people and being good at their duties, most people will have some strengths and some weaknesses. We should do our best, take what we need and use what we can.
It is no exaggeration to say that a large enterprise is like a big family, and every employee is a member of this family. With their great contribution to the whole family, they really should take their income. On the other hand, employees support the whole company, and the company should thank them.
27. People who don't bend over for five buckets of rice abound. You must never hurt the dignity of others. Dignity is fragile and can't stand any harm.
28. In my company, the turnover rate and job-hopping rate are very low, and there has never been a strike. The most important thing is that employees have a sense of belonging and unite as one.
29. If you have money, everyone will earn and share the profits, so that some people will be willing to cooperate. If it's fair to take 10% of the shares, it's ok to take 1 1%, but if you only take 9% of the shares, the money will roll in.
30. I always say that relatives are not necessarily cronies. If you want to get along with someone for a long time, and you think his thinking is as positive as yours, then you should be able to trust him; He will do every important job you give him, and this person can be your confidant.
3 1. It is more difficult for people to ask for business. If the business comes to you, it will be easier for you to do it. So how did business come to you? It depends on friends. How to make friends? Then be kind to others and give full consideration to their interests.
32. Life will be more meaningful if you have ideas other than money and keep something you are proud of.
In the past, I used to teach my children how to do things, but now I sometimes talk about business with them ... but about one-third of them talk about business and two-thirds teach them how to be a man. Because the world is required by universities.
34. Bad guys should be guarded against, but after all, bad guys are in the minority. People can't shut their friends out because they choke on food, let alone to prevent a handful of bad guys. More importantly, in order to guard against the suspicion of bad people and calculate others, you are bound to become a loner, you will lose your friends and business partners, and you will only end in failure.
Those who give us private advice and point out our mistakes are true friends.
36. There are three prerequisites for business cooperation: first, both sides should have cooperative interests, second, they should have the willingness to cooperate, and third, both sides should have the intention to enjoy the glory of * * *. These three are indispensable.
37. Unjust wealth is like floating to me. This is my money. If a dollar falls on the ground, I will pick it up. It's not mine. I won't even take10 million to the door. Every dime I earn can be made public, that is to say, I didn't make it inexplicably.
38. I think it is most important to take care of each other's interests. We can't just focus on our own interests. The two are complementary. If we are willing to make profits and benefit each other, we will eventually bring greater benefits to ourselves. People who take advantage of petty gain will have no friends. This is what my mother told me when I was a child, and the same is true in business.
Once a person breaks his promise once, others will never want to associate with him or do business with him next time. Others would rather find someone with reliable credit than look for him again, because his dishonesty may cause a lot of trouble.
40. If you want to win the trust of others, you must make a promise. Once you make a promise, you must be responsible for it to the end. Even if you encounter difficulties on the way, you should stick to your promise.
4 1. The happiest thing in my life is that I not only finished what I promised to help others, but also did better than they asked. When I fulfilled these commitments, the feeling of excitement was indescribable. ...
The world is learning. Everyone in the world is very clever. It's not easy to convince everyone and like them?
Pay attention to your reputation, work hard, be kind to others and keep your promises, which will be very helpful to your career.
44. Keep your word and be a friend. Over the years, almost until today, people from any country, China people from any province and my partners have become good friends after cooperation, and they have never been unhappy, which is something I am proud of.
45. Personally, I don't want anything for life. Food and shelter are very simple. I don't want too much property for the gift from God. If I can do more things that are beneficial to the long-term stability of mankind, nation and country in this life, I will never tire of it.
46. Keep a low profile to avoid catching shadows and becoming the target of others' attacks. If you don't show yourself too much, you won't arouse the hostility of others, and others won't capture your truth.
47. In terms of money alone, I can't rank sixth or seventh in Hong Kong. What I said is based on facts. But I think a rich man depends on what he does. According to my current practice, I feel very rich, that's for sure.
48. The most important thing in life is to make people really like you and admire you, not your financial resources, nor to make people listen to you on the surface.
49. Never agree to get married by hook or by crook in order to succeed.
50. An entrepreneur with a sense of mission should strive to stick to the right path, so I believe everyone will achieve success to varying degrees.
5 1. To be a successful leader, you should not only work hard, but also listen to others' opinions, be patient, consider others' opinions before putting forward your own opinions, and the most important thing is to be innovative ... As a leader, the first and most important thing is to be strict with your own responsibilities and tolerant of others; Second. Let others be willing to work for themselves and have a sense of belonging. Large institutions must rely on organizations. In enterprises with twenty or thirty people, leaders are most successful at the forefront. When the scale is expanded to several hundred people, leaders still have to take part in the work, but they are not necessarily the first ones to go ahead. Shit depends on the organization, otherwise it will hit the board sooner or later. There are many such examples. Banks that have operated for more than 100 years have all closed down.
52. Defend first and then attack. This must be done before each policy is implemented. When I set out to attack, I want to make sure that I have more than 100% ability. In other words, even if I have the power of 100, I will save 200 to attack, not just gamble.
53. It was better to be rational and restrained than to clean up the mess at last or even do business at a loss.
54. They are big businessmen who only care about their small pockets and the world market. The same businessman, different vision, different realm, different results.
55. Being in a rapidly changing society requires new changes, enhanced ability and being prepared for danger in times of peace. No matter how well you develop, you should always be prepared.
56. The Chinese nation is hardworking, brave and persevering. Although there have been humiliations and beatings in the past, if we follow the right path now, it will surely have a bright future. No matter which country or nation, they all love their country. ...
57. Striving for the top is difficult, but it is also full of opportunities. When we do anything, we should be ambitious, set lofty goals and motivate ourselves with enthusiasm.
58. People should have ambition first, knowledge second and perseverance third. If they are ambitious, they will never be dirty.
59. Knowledge not only refers to the contents of textbooks, but also includes the overall elements such as social experience, civilized culture and the spirit of the times, so as to be competitive. Knowledge is the capital of the new era, and people in the fifties and sixties can achieve things through hard work. Today's Hong Kong wants to grab knowledge and win with knowledge.
People praise me as a superman, but I was not born an excellent operator. Up to now, I can only say that the operation is ok. It was after many setbacks and hardships that I understood some key points of operation.
6 1. In today's competitive world, if you pay more, you can win more. Just like the Olympic Games, if you run a short distance race, although the first runner wins, it is only a little better than the second and third runner. As long as you hurry, you will win.
When you make a decision, you should move towards your goal wholeheartedly. Always remember that reputation is your greatest asset, and you should build it today.
There is no absolute formula for success in business, but if we can rely on certain principles, we can greatly improve our chances of success.
64. A miserable life is the best exercise in my life, especially in sales. I have learned a lot and understood a lot. So these are all things that I can't buy today at 65.438+0 billion 65.438+0 billion.
65. I think diligence is the key to personal success. As the saying goes, no pains, no gains, and the rewards and achievements a person gets have a lot to do with his efforts. Luck is only a small factor, and personal efforts are the most basic conditions for creating a career.
66. In fact, the process of starting a business is a process of perseverance and perseverance. There is no secret in this, but it is not easy to be thrifty as China's old saying goes. And from the beginning of starting a business, we must keep learning and seize the opportunity.
After reading Su Dongpo's story, I know what it means to be hurt for no reason. Su Dongpo had no ambition, but he was framed by others. His brother is right: my brother's fault lies in his fame and high profile. This is really a helpless mistake.
68. When I was young, I was modest on the surface, but actually I was very proud at heart. Why are you proud? Because my colleagues went to play, I went to school to ask; They are the same every day, and their knowledge is improving every day.
69. My little tree grew in the sand and rain. You can try the mountain. How hard it is to pull out the young trees growing in the gravel! But the young trees that grow from the cracks in the stones are more vital.
70. The world of technology is as deep as the sea. As Zeng Guofan said, be wise and knowledgeable. When you know a skill and are proud of it, you will know that it is as deep as the sea, but I have never reached the level as deep as the sea. I only know that others have been ahead of us for decades, and we have just caught up and have a lot to learn.
7 1. No matter what kind of industry, the harder you work, the greater the possibility of failure, but if you have knowledge and no funds, a little effort will pay off and you may succeed.
72. In the past, with a little skill and agility, you could succeed in business. But now entrepreneurs must have rich knowledge assets and be very familiar with geography, customs, market research and accounting statistics at home and abroad.
73. It is of course best to draw conclusions based on your own experience, but it wastes a lot of time. It is best to combine book knowledge with practical work.
Entrepreneurs in the next century will be completely different from me, because the success of entrepreneurs in the new century depends on technology and knowledge, not money.
75. As parents, it is certainly a little hard for children to leave their hometown and relatives at the age of fifteen or sixteen and go out for further study alone, but for the sake of their children's future, even if they don't have this heart, they have to bear it.
76. If you lose in the competition, then you lose in time; On the contrary, if you win, you win in time.
77. Not everything in the world can be solved with money, but there are many things that need money to solve.
78. My money comes from society and should be used for society. I don't need more money. I make money not just for myself. Do more public welfare for the company, shareholders and society, and give the extra money to the disabled and the poor.
79. If you really fail, don't resent it. If there is a chance to make a comeback slowly, as long as you are alive, you will still have the capital for the final decisive battle.
80. Besides making money to satisfy one's sense of accomplishment, the purpose is to make one's life better. If a person only pays attention to making money and sacrifices his health, it is not worth it.
8 1. Work input is very important. If you are interested in your career, you will do well.
Try to find time to have a good rest. Only by getting a good rest can we have abundant and vigorous energy to face all kinds of unexpected things.
I don't pay much attention to the brand of clothes and shoes. It is common to wear a suit for ten or eight years. Five of my ten pairs of leather shoes are old. Leather shoes are worn. It's a pity to throw them away. You can still wear it when it's mended. The watch I wear is also ordinary, and it has been used for many years.
84. I think the happiness of a family is the most important thing, and the ups and downs of business are small things. If you start business today, you will fail tomorrow. The happiness of a family is the most important.
85. Apart from creating prosperity and employment, the greatest role of business is to meet human needs. Enterprises make profits for shareholders, but they must adhere to a fixed culture. One of the achievements of operating here is the best way for the long-term development of enterprises.
86. In order to meet the needs of the development of the times and for the survival and development of enterprises themselves, enterprises must be market-oriented, take innovation as the means and take efficiency as the core to reshape their corporate image.
87. If you want to survive in the Yangtze River, you have to compete; To compete, we must have good quality. Only by ensuring quality can we ensure credibility and the development and growth of the Yangtze River.
88. I have constraints on myself. I don't do all the profitable businesses. I can't make money from some businesses ... As we all know, some businesses are harmful to people, even if society allows them.
89. The wholehearted dedication of leaders is the biggest motivation of enterprises. Only by interacting with employees and respecting colleagues can team spirit be established. Talents are hard to find, and colleagues who are creative, courageous and cautious should give good returns and show a clear future.
90. For an employee, I will be angry and criticize him if his performance is average at ordinary times, but he sometimes makes mistakes, so you should give him a chance to correct it.
9 1. Most people have some advantages and disadvantages. It seems that the elephant's appetite is measured by barrels, and a spoonful of ants is enough. From each according to his ability, take what he needs, and take each according to his ability as the principle; Just like a machine, if the main components need to be started with 500 horsepower, although half horsepower is much smaller than five horsepower, it can also play a role.
92. The ancients in China said: No ancestors remain unchanged. This sect means that it conforms to the actual situation and is reasonable. Change is bound to change. The world is rich and varied.
93. Give employees good treatment and prospects, and make them feel valued. Of course, there must be a good system of supervision and checks and balances, otherwise good people will go bad.
94. Although the boss is under great pressure, being a boss earns much more money than employees, so I always remind myself to think more about employees and let them get the benefits they deserve.
95. I think we should be as systematic and enterprising as the West, and take a two-pronged approach instead of total westernization or total Confucianism. Confucianism has both advantages and disadvantages, and progress alone is not enough.
96. A small family-owned company should do it with one hand and one foot. When the company grows up, it is very important to give employees a sense of belonging and reassure them. The way of management is simply to know people and be kind, but in principle, you should have a sense of belonging and like you.
97. Only if you are broad-minded, you will not be so proud, you will not feel that you are outstanding in everything, and you will recognize the strengths of others and get help from others. This is what the ancients said.
98. There is room for everything, because people are human beings and people are not gods, and mistakes are inevitable. If you can forgive others, forgive them.
As for your supplementary question, I also see that Li Ka-shing makes regular donations:
"Being alive can make some contributions to the society when you can, and at the same time seek and build a better life for the helpless. I will feel very meaningful and regard this as my lifelong career. "
Mr. Li Ka-shing went through a lot of hardships as a teenager. /kloc-drop out of school at the age of 0/2 and make a living in society. He deeply understands the importance of health and knowledge. At the same time, he believes that helping the helpless is the most meaningful thing in the world, and education and medical care are the foundation of national prosperity. He also realized that personal strength is limited, and only by succeeding in his career can he make greater contributions to society and the country. Therefore, in the early years, with the progress of the cause, when I have spare capacity, I am enthusiastic about public welfare and support the education and medical undertakings in the Mainland and Hong Kong. 1980 Li Ka-shing foundation was established to provide more systematic support for education, medical care, culture and public welfare undertakings. Over the years, the private charitable foundation established by Mr. Li has donated and promised about HK$ 7.6 billion. In addition, Mr. Li also promoted his enterprise groups to donate money and participate in social welfare projects.
He has donated money to cancer patients, the disabled and the University of Hong Kong in the Mainland, and also donated a lot of rice for disaster relief during the famine. For details, please search for donations from Li Ka-shing and Li Ka-shing Foundation.
