Speech text:

The classmates are good, and it is the first time to communicate with the classmates like this, because there is nothing in front of them. In terms of performance, this is called public loneliness. But the enthusiasm of the host and the enthusiastic reaction of the classmates seemed to make me younger than two years old. When I thought about being younger than you, the time was about forty-five years ago. I was only then. In my teens, I think about what to do in the future.

I was influenced by the Sherlock Holmesian detective. I especially wanted to be a detective. I was also influenced by "Two Thousand Miles Under the Sea" and "Around the World in Eighty Days". I wanted to be an explorer, just like "Robinson Crusoe". . My math score is good. When I was a child, I was able to jump. But my language is not good, so I didn't jump.

I have been a soldier, a worker, an engineer, a cadre, and I am 32 years old. At that time, I was in the foreign trade department of Guangdong. I was very good at seeing others. But I have already seen where my life will eventually go. My identity was deputy section chief. I have already seen it. I step by step. Can be a section chief, deputy director, director, deputy director. Since I have seen how I will live this life, how can my memorial work be opened, I can imagine, I lay there, how do friends come to me, sorrow, I want to be clear, I think this Life, of course, I am not willing. This is the original intention of my future business in Shenzhen.

I don't have a strict life plan to be an entrepreneur. Even when I was a businessman, I was very annoyed. I just want to change a new way of life, so I went. I don't like to do business or do business. I have publicly said that I don't like real estate, so now Vanke CEO Yu Liang said to me privately: "Chairman, you don't like it, but you don't like it. Publicly, you openly say that you don't like it. How do we educate the team to like and love the industry?" I said yes, I won't say it.

But today I am here, I want to tell my classmates, I really like real estate, I really like the real estate industry, because it involves urban construction, urban planning, benefiting consumers, and benefiting the people. I suddenly discovered it suddenly. I am working on a career that I can't find in my dreams. I sincerely liked the work I didn't like at all.

Classmates, what I want to say here is that you should not rush to graduate from university, you will immediately find a career how to make a fortune, how to live with you for a lifetime, don't worry, when you are not sure, you will do your job well. , the industry you are not willing to do well. Maybe the salary does not follow your heart, the treatment may not follow your heart, the environment you may be in, those people do not follow your heart, but you must have a calm heart. In the so-called free choice of life, it is not free in itself. In the process of not being free, you still have to do it well. As an experience and accumulation of life, experience itself is a kind of wealth.

The first story I want to talk about is the 20th anniversary of "Southern Weekend" in 2019. I was selected as "Chinese Dream Seeker" and selected 8 people. I am honored to be selected. It is interesting to give three labels, let me Come to choose. The first label is an entrepreneur, the second label is a mountain explorer, and the third one is a briber. The classmates, guess which one I would choose? I chose not to pay bribes. I remember when I got such an honor, I said: "Do not pay bribes is the bottom line of my business, but I did not expect this bottom line, but it has become a label for me, which is ridiculous." The most basic bottom line, a lot People think that it is impossible. A long-lasting persistence and minimum personality requirements have become your most competitive things. I have to regret that our society needs reform.

My body is not very strong. The students may be wondering, how can it be, how is your body not strong and how to climb Mount Everest? I said that because I climbed Mount Everest, my body was strong. I tried a hill and a hill. Overcoming, this process makes my mental capacity stronger than the original, and my physical strength has become stronger and stronger, not because I have a strong body, I went to climb. In fact, I have a headache, a painful four or five days, five senses of otitis media, retinitis, sinus, pharyngitis. I am most afraid that in 1995, I suddenly felt a pain in my left leg. The doctor said very clearly that there is a hemangioma in your lumbar spine. You must reduce the action immediately, preferably in a wheelchair, otherwise you may be at any time. paralysis. I had a glimpse of my head at the time. I didn’t think that when I was 44 years old, when the time was strong, the doctor announced that I might be embarrassed. So I think, in any case, before I go to Tibet, I have to go to Tibet and go to Mount Everest.

I went to Tibet in 2003. I remember that on the way to the summit, at 8800, the weather was very bad. It was cloudy, windy and snowy. I especially wanted to sit down, but I was trained to tell me. I can't sit down. If I sit down, I won't get up. At that moment, it is not clear whether I can come back alive, but there is a wish at that time: If I can go back alive, I will never return to the Himalayas. If I return, I am the bastard! I curse myself. After returning safely, the curse was forgotten.

When I went to the foot of the mountain to talk to the doctor, the doctor said that what you encountered was the feeling of dying. When you climbed the mountain above 8000 meters, only two kinds of waste were unreasonable. One was an empty oxygen cylinder, and the other was the body of the victim. You will inevitably see the face of the victim, no pain, no embarrassment. There is no struggle before death, it is very peaceful, as if entering heaven. Of course, even if you enter heaven is wonderful, are you willing to enter, I believe that you are still unwilling to enter, so even if you are tortured and suffering, you are still willing to stay in this world. We know that we will die, but before death, what do you want, you want to do what you want to do.

I once said that I have to climb Mount Everest three times in my life. It was the first time in 2003 and the second time in 2019. I think I was almost 70 years old, that is, in 2021, I have to go to the top again. . But when I arrived at Harvard, I realized that Harvard was my third Everest. What is completely different from these two Everests is that this mountain has no physical height. Many people have asked me, saying that it is difficult to go to Mount Everest. I said that it is certainly difficult, and even harder than I imagined. The first semester was particularly tired. I had to remember too many words, insomnia, and I couldn’t sleep. I did my homework at 2 o'clock. At 8 o'clock, I tried to retreat several times.

What do I want to say to my classmates? I must maintain a self-satisfaction in my life, maintain a curiosity, and maintain your expectations for the future. Persistence is very important. Victory is often a persistent effort. in. I think the biggest difference between me and many people is not that I am smarter than them, nor that I am more lucky than them. It is very important that I have such a goal and stick to it.

I just said "persistence", now I want to talk about "putting down." I want to say let go, the first is to let go of money, the second is to let go of power, and the third is to let go of vanity.

In 1988, Vanke carried out a shareholding transformation, when the company formed a size of 41 million. At that time, I stated that I gave up the shareholding in my name. First, I think this is my self-confidence. I don't have to control this company. I still have the ability to manage it. Second, in Chinese society, especially in the 80s, it is very rich and dangerous. As far as Chinese traditional culture is concerned, no change, no change, everyone can be poor, but you can't suddenly be rich. So in name and profit, you can only choose one. If you want to be famous, you should not make a profit. If you want to make a profit, you should not be famous. My ability is not big, I can only choose one, I chose the name. This is what I want to give up.

In 1999, when I was 48, I resigned as the general manager and started to be the chairman only. I really want to give up power regardless of the company.

The third abandonment is to give up vanity. In fact, this time going back to Harvard, many people are very curious, saying that you Wang Shi went to Harvard to do something, first ask, do you go there with translation? Second, you are in the old university, more friends between Meet, it is a boastful, rugged boast, "Too-" admire you, that is, the word "Tai" is pulled for a long time, I said that you praise me or yell at me, so praise, nothing more than that you Wang Shi wants It is impossible to pass the language, but you are over, so "too" admire you. Indeed, a famous Chinese entrepreneur, the CEO of a listed company, is over 60 years old. You start to learn English. Can you pull your face down? Can you put it down? It is a problem.

My classmates are listening to my speech today. When I was young, I also heard speeches from people I admire. They are two Americans, one is President Kennedy and the other is General Patton. In his inaugural speech, President Kennedy said: "Don’t ask what society can do for you, but ask what you did for society." Appreciate his passage; the second is General Patton. He said: "The criterion for evaluating a person's success is not when he is at the top, but when he falls from the peak to the bottom." I also appreciate it. In my life experience, I did not think that 2008 was a very big blow to me, a turning point theory, a donation door, made me feel embarrassed, my ancestors have been born for eight lifetimes, a day of post 3, 40 Wan, delete all can not be deleted. But then I gave a few thanks. First, I thanked the shareholders for this kind of resentment to me. Let me return to zero. Let me know that I am old and I know myself again. And now I recall that it was true that I was more arrogant at the time. I felt that I was doing the right thing. I didn’t care about the feelings of others. I didn’t care about the occasion. Second, this is a very good platform for me to understand society and young people. Don't say that it is kind, even if it is malicious. Since I am a public figure, I enjoy the benefits of public figures, and I should accept the supervision that I should accept as a public figure. The public figure is the bus, the bus is the bus, it feels very comfortable when you sit up, it praises you two sentences, it is uncomfortable, spit, you have to bear.

Classmates, I want to end my conversation with a piece of sentiment below. Many students are very envious of our generation in the 80s. I think of it now, and I am very envious, because I didn’t think it was in the 1980s. I thought that it was a golden age. Maybe you will sigh the current world, this era, the global uncertainty, the uncertainty of China's future, you are very sorry, there is no chance. Now I am talking about puzzles. I believe that there is not much room for communication here. But how do you fight yourself, how do you fight? What I want to say is that if everything is determined, you have to think about it and want to make a difference. It is very, very difficult. It is because of these uncertainties that you are given the opportunity. . We know China, we all realize that it needs to be changed, but it is not clear where to change it, but we all know that we hope to change it, and the idea is the same.

Four years ago, I was drifting on the Jinsha River. The water on the Jinsha River was very fast. When I was at the lake, the river was quiet and flowing very slowly. I had time to look at the scenery on both sides. The scenery on both sides of the Jinsha River is a cliff. At this time, you discovered that there is a stream of water on the cliff. I suddenly realized that this river is formed by a myriad of water flowing through the ground. The flow of this stock is that each of us, every family, every enterprise, every unit, if we have every small force, we should do what we should do, and we will merge into rivers. Consolidate our expectations for the future.
