These 4 people tell you how to make entrepreneurship no longer blind
The post-90s generation was once an entrepreneurial hero created by the times.
In fact, the entrepreneurial boom of the post-90s generation only lasted less than a year, and they were hit by negative news one after another.
Today, the current situation that may be accompanied by a bleak future for gifts seems to have finally brought an end to this trend.
This is an era of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation". Whether they have eye-catching creativity and ideas, or have the courage to put their creativity and ideas into practice, more and more people have joined the entrepreneurial army.
How to understand and treat entrepreneurship, and how to make entrepreneurship no longer blind?
Recently, four successful domestic entrepreneurs - VIPKID co-founder Chen Yuan, Tongdao Uncle CEO Zhang Jinyuan, Suning.com founder Li Hao, and Sequoia Capital China fund partner Zhou Kui gathered in Beijing to share their entrepreneurial experiences and talk about them
Thoughts and insights on entrepreneurship.

On August 23, VIPKID announced the completion of Series D financing totaling US$200 million.
This round of financing was led by Sequoia Capital and strategically invested by Tencent. This is the largest financing in the global online education field to date.
Zhang Jinyuan: This is not the best time to realize talents. Zhang Jinyuan is a new generation of executives born in the 1990s and a fellow CEO.

Li Hao: Strength, Choice, Persistence Li Hao is the founder of "Suning.com". He once led Suning.com to achieve sales growth from zero to tens of billions, and helped "Suning.com" complete its transformation from online appliance retail to
The successful transformation of the comprehensive B2C e-commerce platform has made it the only e-commerce platform that has successfully transformed from a retail enterprise, and has been continuously learned by traditional enterprises.
Li Hao said that the first thing to consider when starting a business is strength, whether you have the ability to start a business, which includes soft power and hard power.
The second is choice, which field to choose to enter, which is related to the economic environment and policy environment.
The last thing is persistence based on the first two points!

The last thing is persistence. Based on the persistence of the first two points, there is no easy money-making project in this world. Everything requires your time and energy!
