In the hearts of Chinese people, entrepreneurship is something that everyone is passionate about. Compared to finding a safe and stable job and receiving a stable salary, starting a business seems to be more pursued by everyone. It is undeniable that starting a business is not an easy task. Although there are many successful people in the business world, there are still many losers. So starting a business is much more difficult than you think, but the threshold for starting a business is not high. No matter what age you are at, you can do it as long as you want.
In the domestic business world, there are many successful entrepreneurs who start their own business only late, and many bigwigs start their own business only when they are middle-aged. Take , the founder of Huawei , , Ren Zhengfei, , for example. When he founded Huawei, he was already in his forties.
In addition, Lenovo 's Liu Chuanzhi also founded Lenovo when she was 40 years old. Therefore, this also corresponds to the old saying: "Great achievements are late." The earlier you start a business, the easier it is to succeed. As long as you are determined, age is not a limitation of the road to entrepreneurship.
If Ren Zhengfei and Liu Chuanzhi were older when they started their business, then the next entrepreneur who was only 56 years old should know it carefully.
In recent years, my country's semiconductor industry has been surging, and the status of TSMC is even higher. This is inseparable from the contribution of founder Zhang Zhongmou . Zhang Zhongmou is the boss mentioned earlier: "Only starting a business at the age of 56" Although he started his business late, the market value of the company he founded has exceeded 2 trillion yuan. At the age of 70, he married his own secretary as his wife, as the so-called "winner in life".
Zhang Zhongmou graduated from a prestigious university in the United States. Before he started his business at the age of 56, he worked for Texas Instruments . At the age of 41, he became the vice president of Texas Instruments, with an annual salary of millions. However, after a disagreement with the company later, Zhang Zhongmou resolutely returned to Taiwan and founded TSMC. This move has made the Chinese even more proud. After all, after years of development, TSMC has become the world's largest chip foundry. In addition, TSMC is also the world's largest semiconductor company.
If you want to talk about how powerful TSMC is, just look at the chips it helps to process. Because TSMC has mastered the world's advanced chip manufacturing technology, whether it is Apple or Huawei, even Qualcomm Snapdragon chips need TSMC to help. With the increasing development of smartphones, TSMC can be said to have made a lot of money. According to relevant data, TSMC's profit is almost twice that of Huawei, which is enough to show the strength of TSMC.
In the semiconductor industry, Zhang Zhongmou also has his own unique insights, and this insight has also given new inspiration to many domestic companies. During the sensational period of chip supply cuts, Zhang Zhongmou proposed that mainland China focus on chip design and give manufacturing and production to TSMC.
In addition, Zhang Zhongmou also mentioned that chip manufacturing should focus on many links, such as talent, R&D and technology, which is not an easy task. Although my country's semiconductor technology can reach the 7nm level, my country's semiconductors are still two generations behind the world's advanced level, so Zhang Zhongmou's words are rough and not rough.
Zhang Zhongmou and TSMC have achieved mutual success, setting an example for the domestic semiconductor industry. For Zhang Zhongmou, TSMC has made him achieve considerable achievements in his career. Since his career is complete, his relationship cannot be blank all the time. Therefore, in 2001, Zhang Zhongmou married his secretary. At that time, Zhang Zhongmou was 70 years old, 13 years older than his wife. There was a sensation in the industry when they got married. But Zhang Zhongmou didn't care about the outside world's vision and just insisted on his own choice.
As an entrepreneur, Zhang Zhongmou has made a lot of efforts. Although TSMC's daily affairs are not managed by Zhang Zhongmou, his entrepreneurial quality is still worthy of our appreciation.In addition, when the United States suppressed domestic chips, Zhang Zhongmou also chose to support his domestic Huawei. It can be seen that behind the success is not enough to work hard, but also to have firm choices.
