Lei Jun once said: "Standing at the twelfth vent, even pigs can fly into the sky." How should this sentence be understood?
I believe many people have heard this sentence when starting a business, that is what Lei Jun said: "Standing at the tide of a typhoon, even a pig can fly into the sky." If you see any popularity, start a business in that field. But many people do not understand its inner meaning.
In fact, Lei Jun explained this sentence in "Xiaomi Entrepreneurship Thoughts": First of all, the superficial meaning is, as everyone understands, to do the right thing at the right point in time, seize the opportunity, and follow the trend. Thinking about trends and action directions is crucial.
And the deep meaning is: start a business to be extremely pragmatic, down-to-earth, and take it step by step. Many people attribute the rise of Xiaomi to being on the verge of the wind, and what they really mean is: when entering a new field and looking for opportunities, they should put down their attitude, study humbly, and work hard.
There have been two trends in the popularization of the Internet. The first time was around 2010, when mobile Internet was widely popular. Lei Jun seized the opportunity to enter the battlefield. Unexpectedly, the first Xiaomi mobile phone was a great success. After this, countless imitators followed suit and tried the waters, but the result ended in failure. The reason is that a technology manufacturer ultimately relies on its own strength, continuous R&D and innovative spirit!
And the second trend is the current wave of new energy vehicles. Now more and more new forces are joining the wave of car manufacturing. Lei Jun is no exception. He mentioned: cars are the largest personal consumer goods, and smart electric car is the biggest trend at the moment; and smart cars are also an indispensable and important link in the smart ecology.
Overall, although it is important to seize the opportunity. But more importantly, when looking for opportunities, you must put your attitude down, study humbly, and work hard.
