You may not know him

but you should know Ma Huateng and Liu Qiangdong

You may not have heard of him

But you should have heard of brands such as Tencent, JD.COM, Didi, Meituan, Midea, Gree, Blue Moon

king of the children and Jiang Xiaobai

It can be said that without this person, there would be no later Ma Huateng. Liu Qiangdong

There are no such brands

This person is Zhang Lei

Zhang Lei was born in Zhumadian, Henan

His father is a civil servant

His mother is a lawyer

They have no time to discipline Zhang Lei at all

This also makes him independent

He lived at home when he was seven years old

. The pedestrian

Zhang Lei came up with an idea of making money

renting his own comic books to those waiting for the train

In this way

Zhang Lei earned the first bucket of gold in his life

What makes people laugh and cry is that

Zhang Lei, who has a business mind, was only one point higher than the rated score when he was promoted to junior high school

. > in the second year of senior high school

when others were discussing what engineering to choose

Zhang Lei saw a book Das Kapital by chance

and became fascinated with finance

After reading it, his peers around him felt disdainful

Even the teacher couldn't understand what the child was thinking

Zhang Lei was probably coldly and isolated

. Professor Tsinghua University's influence

and not wanting to see his peers' cold eyes

Zhang Lei became very hard

That year Zhang Lei proved himself

He became the top liberal arts scholar in Henan

Everyone was thinking about how to relax that summer vacation. Where to visit

Zhang Lei thought about how to make money

Of course, he continued to expand his "book industry"

So he bought some magazines

and then changed hands

In this way, Zhang Lei earned a lot of money

During his college years, Zhang Lei

read a lot of financial books

met many alumni

. Zhang Lei got his wish to work in a central enterprise-Minmetals Group

In this company, Zhang Lei needs to go to all parts of the country to collect mining resources

Zhang Lei, who runs back and forth all day, has developed a very keen insight

and met many foreign customers

With more and more customers talking

Zhang Lei feels that his development is limited

He has the idea of studying abroad. Zhang Lei chose to go to Yale for further study

At that time, Yale was a top university with a history of 3 years.

Five American presidents were born around that time.

It was also because Zhang Lei was short of money at that time.

Yale could provide scholarships.

So, Zhang Lei came to Yale.

When he learned that Yale only provided scholarships for one year

He had to pay for the rest

. I interviewed a lot of jobs during this period

Later, by chance,

I got an intern job in Yale Investment Office

At that time, the chief investment officer was David Swenson

A person who could be compared with Buffett at that time

Zhang Lei became a student of Swenson

Later,

Swenson found that many of his views coincided with this China person with yellow skin and black eyes < > Zhang Lei didn't disappoint his mentor either

After graduation

Zhang Lei worked for a financial company

He was also faced with the choice of working and starting a business

Where did Zhang Lei choose the latter

to start a business?

the voice in my heart pointed out the direction for him

to return home!

Zhang Lei, who returned to China in 25, was 33 years old

the age at which he should have started a family

He chose to start a business

Zhang Lei took the $2, given by his mentor

and set up Gaoying Capital

Then he added another $ 1w

For most private funds

This is. P > This year is magical

It is also colorful for Zhang Lei

This year, many Internet companies have sprung up

such as 58 cities, Car home and other

senior investors all know what August 5th of that year meant

It was the day when Baidu went public on Nasdaq

On that day, the share price soared from $27 to $12

Ma Huateng cried with joy

Similarly

It was that year that Zhang Lei found Ma Huateng

He took a fancy to Tencent's potential

At that time, QQ had covered it. The stock price keeps rising

Zhang Lei has proved himself with years of keen insight

You may sigh his luck

or admire his courage

Then here are the highlights of his foresight

In 21

Liu Qiangdong was in trouble

The company's profit was worrying

Liu Qiangdong wanted to establish a logistics system

to improve the efficiency of online shopping < And put forward his own ideas

I hope Zhang Lei can participate in and invest in Liu Qiangdong, which originally needed 75 million dollars

Zhang Lei abruptly increased it to 3 million dollars

because in Zhang Lei's view

7,5 W is simply not enough to support and establish a complete logistics system

"Either invest 3 million dollars, Or don't vote at all "

In this way

under the foresight of Zhang Lei, JD.COM successfully went public

three years later, while the then $3 million soared to today's $3.9 billion

Later, at Zhang Lei's suggestion,

JD.COM and Tencent were chosen to cooperate

WeChat opened a first-class entrance to JD.COM

to form a tripartite * * *. Behind

these well-known brands such as Blue Moon

are Zhang Lei's handwriting

, and Gao Yan Investment has made a leap from the original $2 million to the current $6 billion in 16 years

and has become the leader in the private equity industry

Today's Gao Yan Investment is involved in scientific and technological innovation, life and health, Enterprise services and other fields

They pay special attention to those enterprises with potential long-term investment value

Zhang Lei also wrote a book "Value"

which was highly recommended by business people

In this book, Zhang Lei quoted famous sayings from ancient books to explain his own investment views

such as "keeping the right and using the strange", "Don't talk about peaches and plums, learn from others" and "Weak water is three thousand". But

take a scoop "and others

tell investors how to choose investment based on their own personal experience

Undoubtedly

Zhang Lei is successful

and low-key

He has made many business leaders such as Ma Huateng and Liu Qiangdong

He has amazing courage

Dare to put eggs in the same basket

Dare to let time prove the value of the enterprise <
