The story of the wealthy rookie in the 1980s: the miracle of Tsinghua in half a year

This is the original text, CCTV will talk in the living room:
High burning: Hello.

Li Xiaomeng: Perhaps the most surprising thing about people is why at your age, you may get material life that most people of the same age can't get?

High-burning: If I say spiritual life, I am very much recognized. I feel that I live a spiritual life that many people do not have. I am happy every day. But if you want to talk about material life, then they may be disappointed, because I live, I eat the same as everyone, as long as there is chili, and the place to live is still rented, I usually do not go out to buy anything for a few months. Something, so I think this may be their misunderstanding.

This is the high-firing office of the 25-year-old president of Gaowei Video, where it seems that there are no traces of over 100 million. In the words of the office owner, it is not yet time to consider material life.

The company is mainly engaged in the development of broadband video live broadcast technology, through which people can watch TV smoothly on the Internet. This company, which was established only two years ago, is surprisingly fast. Today, the company has nearly 100 employees and has invested a total of $10 million.

In December last year, Gaowei Video Company won the title of “Internet Industry Innovation Second” and “China Internet Industry Top 100” issued by China Internet Association. In the first half of this year, China Internet Network Association, together with many venture capital institutions at home and abroad, named Gaowei Video Company as “the most investment-worthy enterprise”.

These are enough to make "high-burning" a shining name among entrepreneurs in the 1980s.

Li Xiaomeng: Can you have a company that belongs to you, and why? Is there anything inevitable from your own personality or other aspects?

High-burning: In fact, to be honest, my character is a more suitable business, I now feel more and more, I am more adept at starting a business.

Li Xiaomeng: What kind of personality is suitable for starting a business?

High-burning: It is more eager to learn, that is, the learning ability is stronger, more diligent, more diligent, more will deal with people, have certain leadership skills, and perhaps you can start a business.

Li Xiaomeng: Your most famous saying is that you don't want your life to see your head at a glance. What do you tell me about what you can see at first sight?

High-burning: It's very simple. For example, I especially wanted to be a reporter. When I actually made a reporter, I actually spent a lot of time and spent a lot of effort to be a reporter, but when I really became a reporter, It is a good time for a reporter. I found that after a few decades, when I actually made a reporter, I actually spent a lot of time and spent a lot of effort to be a reporter, but if I go along this road, I will still be a few decades later. A reporter, so you may be yourself all your life, maybe you are interested, but you will do one thing in your life, I think this is not my life. The length of life is that I can't calculate it, but it can be longer, shorter, and masterable, but I hope that the width of this life can be wider and wider. I hope to be a journalist, a business, a book, a blog, a college professor, or something I would rather do. In addition, to me, to be honest, I am still very influential. I really like the words that Kai-Fu Lee said. He said, "Follow my heart, do some of the most influential things." If you can, I Will do this.

Li Xiaomeng: I think that many of the entrepreneurs of your previous generation have their own ideas, but I think your generation is repeating some of their ideas, such as being an influential person, or following My heart.

High-burning: In fact, there are many things that are common. For example, if you want to get married, you have to find a girl to marry. The older generation has to find one. I have to find one, but some things are indeed different, because We are young at this time, so some things will not suffer.

The high-burning hometown is in Yiyang, Hunan. The parents are ordinary farmers. Due to the economic difficulties at home, although the students have a good academic record, he did not continue to study in high school and chose a secondary school. After graduating from a technical secondary school, I will go to work in Guangdong to earn money. During this period, he taught himself the ISO9000 certification expertise, and soon he moved to a foreign company as an engineer, and his monthly salary also received 5,000 yuan. Five thousand yuan in the high-burning hometown is not a small fortune.

However, after working in the new company for less than half a year, Gao Yan made an amazing decision. He had to go back to the high school campus as a transfer student and prepare to take the college entrance examination. At that time, there were only half a year left before the college entrance examination, and he had not read it before the high fever. High school. The high-fire college entrance examination is an impossible goal in the eyes of the villagers and family members. But half a year later, Gao Burning got the admission notice from the university, and it was Tsinghua University. This message caused a sensation in the high-burning hometown.

Li Xiaomeng: Looking at these photos, I am not in the right position with you. Do you think the change is big?

High-burning: quite big, it was very depressed at the time, very depressed, because I was not doing what I wanted to do, and the conflict between ideal and reality, I am a very ideal person, and I will definitely do it. . What is reality? The reality is that I don't say inferior, but it is really a long way from what I want to do, so the conflict between ideal and reality will suppress one person.

Li Xiaomeng: Even older than I am looking at now.

High burning: Maybe, this is subject to your opinion.

Li Xiaomeng: When did you no longer have this feeling of oppression, and you already feel that you are wide open?

High-burning: University, the first day of college entrance examination, August 20, 1999.

Li Xiaomeng: Is this a fundamental change?

High burning: Right. Now every time I have a chance, I can tell people that I must go to college.

Li Xiaomeng: When you were in the middle of the country, you actually did a good job. Because of the financial ability of the family, did you feel depressed at the secondary school?

High-burning: crying, two things I can do, one is crying every day, the other is rolling on the ground, rolling around.

Li Xiaomeng: So strong.

High-burning: Yes, there is no way. I was 13 years old, very small. This is not something I can decide. What can I decide when I am 13?

Li Xiaomeng: When you cry and roll on the ground, do you think that the big ideal in your heart has left you?

High-burning: No, I think there may be some so-called setbacks or detours, but I will come back one day. I thought about it at that time, because I saw a lot of celebrity biographies at the time, my mind should be It may be a little more mature than the average peer, then I will tell myself how I should be, so I have not given up my spiritual pursuit for a few years in the secondary school.

Li Xiaomeng: Is it a college or a secondary school, including a dream that has been worked for a while, or is it suddenly decided at that point?

High-burning: At one point, in fact, I think I can certainly do something, but whether it is necessary to go to college, this thing is not easy to say, but then I am working in Shenzhen, after I contacted these college students, actually I I don't think I am worse than them. In fact, I won't be much worse than them. But after I read a few books, after reading it for a while, I found out that I still want to take the university, and at the time I just read some of it. High school partners have also been admitted to college.

Li Xiaomeng: Is your yearning for the university a yearning for this identity or a yearning for higher education?

High-burning: There are two aspects, but I found out that this is exactly the case. I found that the change in college life has changed me very much, and I have re-established confidence.

Li Xiaomeng: When you were in college, you have been working in the society for a while. At that time, how much confidence did you have when you re-prepared for the college entrance examination?

High-burning: No one has confidence in me. No one in the world has confidence in me, including my parents. At that time, my parents said, you have to read it, we have no money, you can read it. It is. My parents, I know, I know them very well. This is the limit they can afford. It takes a lot of money to go to high school in the countryside. It costs more money to go to college. In our hometown, who owns a college student. Who must live in the most broken house, live the worst life, my parents think, you can earn 5,000 yuan a month.

Li Xiaomeng: I feel that I am already in the first place?

High-burning: Yes, I feel that I am in the first place. I said that I want to study. They feel that they can't bear it. And indeed, I don’t have confidence. We were a good middle school at that time. It’s not bad to get ten college students every year. It’s good to have ten people in ten exams, and at least eight of them are junior college students. Then I will Tell them, I want to test Qinghua, Peking University, I said that my other schools are not tested. No one believes me, really no one believes me, except myself.

Li Xiaomeng: After leaving the school for a while, I will pick up the book and go to the high score. Not everyone dares to have this confidence.

Gao Burning: I went to the high school to read it. When I first went to the exam, I took the second exam in the second semester. I was the second last. The principal put me in the worst class in the school. I was the worst. The penultimate second in the class.

Li Xiaomeng: At that time, I was still full of confidence?

High-burning: Yes, I don't think I have a day to learn. I haven't been in high school one day. I can take the second-lowest exam. Some people are worse than me. I think I can still. I was already the first in the class for the second month of the exam, one month.
