Personal life
Li Ying was born in Meixian, the "Hakka Capital of the World". He is an authentic Hakka, and his blood is full of hardship. The traditional Hakka spirit of hard work, farming and heirlooms. Because of her parents' work, she grew up in Shenzhen until she was in the second grade of junior high school. At that time, Li Ying’s parents had already immigrated to the United States before her, but she was a little bit resistant to the unfamiliar environment when she was young, especially to live in a different country, so she reached an agreement with her parents: if she can skip one grade of junior high school after arriving in the United States, go with. Because of her good academic performance, if she does not transfer to the United States, she can smoothly skip grades in domestic junior high schools. Therefore, she hopes to receive the same treatment in junior high schools in the United States, but she did. Due to multiple grades, she entered university at the age of 17 and just turned 20 when she graduated. Li Ying once said that her family is very conservative and that going abroad is a completely Chinese education method. Moreover, his father is a perfectionist and has very high demands on his children. Li Ying also has a younger brother who went to university in the United States in 2010. Later, the parents who had moved to the United States for many years also returned to China and lived in semi-retirement.
's main contribution
In early 2006, due to some political struggles within UT, Li Ying returned to the United States and joined KPCB, becoming the company's youngest global partner. At that time, when the company was actively developing its business in China, Li Ying became the main force, responsible for the preparation strategy and equity investment of KPCB China, and in-depth assistance to the business of global invested companies in China.
In 2010, as one of the first three founders of Yunfeng Fund, Li Ying, who was only 30 years old, helped Ma Yun and Yu Feng to establish Yunfeng Fund, responsible for investment in high-tech, new energy, cultural industry, consumer services and other fields . Yunfeng Fund was established in early 2010, named after Jack Ma and Yu Feng, founder of Juzhong Media, and a private equity fund jointly initiated by a group of industry leaders and successful entrepreneurs. The first phase of the fund reached 10 billion. The scale of the first phase of the
Yunfeng Fund is as high as 10 billion, and after expansion, it has grown to tens of billions, which means that Li Ying holds a wealth of wealth in an enemy country. In recent years, she has invested in Alibaba, Ant Financial, Yuantong Express, Quanfeng Express, Huayi Brothers, Damai, Sogou, Huada Gene, and Handu Clothing Store with RMB. Public information shows that the investment return of Yunfeng Fund far exceeds the industry average. In the first phase of the Yunfeng Fund, 3.73 billion yuan was invested, 16.08 billion yuan was recovered, and a net profit of more than 12 billion yuan. Therefore, Li Ying got another name in the circle: the female version of Buffett.
Character anecdote
Li Ying only went to middle school in the United States, then high school and college. Before entering university, Li Ying received offers from many schools, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University and Stanford University. She hesitated between the first two universities, and finally chose MIT because she wantedWhen you study science in college, you can lay a solid foundation. If you continue your studies, you can consider going to schools like Yale or Harvard to study liberal arts. When she left the university campus at the age of 20, she carried three degrees: a bachelor of computer science, a bachelor of economics, and a master of electronic engineering and computer science. Then, she successfully entered McKinsey, which many graduates dream of. When most people thought she would stay in this company for a long time, she changed the work platform at an "astounding" speed, and worked in four well-known investment companies in 10 years.
Li Ying has always had a dream about entrepreneurship. She would like to find a few like-minded people to form a dream team and start her own business. She entered McKinsey at the age of 20, surrounded by a group of "old men" in their 50s and 60s. "So she bought a lot of black and dark blue clothes, hoping to look as old as possible, at least 30 years old." She works as a management consultant in the Silicon Valley branch of McKinsey & Company. Once, her mentor Chris, a senior partner of McKinsey, asked her: "What do you really want to do?" Li Ying replied: "Find a team to start your own business." Chris supported Li Ying's ideas and analyzed it. Here's the situation: Take McKinsey as an example. If you want to be a partner, you rarely can do the job right after graduating from university (and you haven't studied for an MBA). Generally, the company is transformed after many years. Otherwise, , You don’t even have the confidence to talk to high-level multinational companies; another way is to stay at McKinsey for a few years, then work elsewhere for a few years, and then come back to be a partner. Chris suggested that she go out early: "You stay in one place for a long time, and you will feel so comfortable that you don't want to leave, plus having a family in the future, you don't want to move anymore."
Chris' words made Li Ying start planning for her future. At this time, Behrooz Rezvani, founder and chief technology officer of Ikanos, heard about her plan and found her. "I heard that you want to start a business," Rezwani said directly, "I suggest you work in a startup company to feel and exercise. If you start a business completely, it will be completely different from your current working status. Before you find the team of your dreams, it’s better not to be so fast.” Part of Rezwani’s words was to dig Li Ying into the company he had just formed. He succeeded. Li Ying joined Ikanos as the director of marketing and marketing, and at the same time represented the company as the deputy editor-in-chief of IEEE 802.3ah. She persuaded the top three telecommunications equipment manufacturers in China to adopt the company’s VDSL broadband products and compete with Taiwan’s top four ODM foundries signed an exclusive cooperation agreement and helped the company successfully go public on NASDAQ. When
was developing business in China, Li Ying met Zhou Shangning, then the boss of UTStarcom. They had a similar conversation between Li Ying and Chris or Rezwani. Finally, Zhou Shangning believes that she still lacks the necessary management experience for entrepreneurs. It is conceivable that Zhou Shangning is another Bole who threw an olive branch to Li Ying. Li Ying joined UTStarcom's IPTV business department as deputy general manager. Step by step, Li Ying’s passion for entrepreneurship has never been extinguished, and the experience of each company has appropriately supplemented her with the nutrients that entrepreneurs should have. So when Jack Ma found Li Ying in Silicon Valley, she felt that the time had come. And Jack Ma values all her resources. There are rumors that Jack Ma has staged a modern version of "Three Visits to Thatched Cottage" in order to invite Li Ying to come out of the mountain. In 2009, on a cruise ship on West Lake in Hangzhou, Jack Ma and Feng Yu negotiated a framework for establishing the Yunfeng Fund. In April 2000, Yunfeng Fund, which brought together Shi Yuzhu, Guo Guangchang, Liu Yonghao and other luxurious lineups, was formally established. At that time, Ma Yun had already identified Li Ying as the managing director.
Because of his domineering personal resume, Li Ying asked Ma Yun to fly to Silicon Valley three times. For the last time, he said loudly: "When we invested in the company, if the company Yunfeng Fund could not bring them value, we would not invest." As soon as the words came out, Li Ying was shocked and speechless. It is completely different from her previous investment bank philosophy. Eventually, she became the managing director of Yunfeng Fund, responsible for the fund's investment in high-tech, new energy and other fields. Since then, another halo has appeared on her head: Jack Ma's behind-the-scenes trader.
In the investment industry, her idol is Buffett, and her boss John Doerr at KPCB. She hopes that she will be as active as them in the investment world in 30 to 40 years. As a professional woman, LiYing thinks that it is difficult to achieve a balance between work and life at the same time, "So I will balance in stages. When I work, I don't think about working when I play." In recent years, she has been enthusiastic about meditation, often with friends. Research organic food together. She also often invites senior people to talk about spirituality, emotion, philosophy and Chinese studies. She thinks this is very beneficial to her.
personal quotation
she said: If you want to lead an extraordinary life in your life, you must do:
1, set goals for yourself, one year, two years, five years, maybe you were born not as good as others, through hard work , Can often change 70% of the destiny, and can only be friends with the cowardly.
2, friends invite you to dinner, don't take it for granted, please be courteous, otherwise your reputation will get worse and worse.
3. Among good friends, you must cultivate a confidant. Don't think that you are so exquisite and you are friends everywhere. In the end, if you are sincere to you, just one, trust me.
4. Don't believe in fortune-telling, constellations and numerology, it is to coax the children, the destiny is in your hands, sitting at home and waiting for a house or car, it is better to sleep and have a good dream.
5. People who don't like it should be contacted less, but don't speak ill of it behind your back. People who say right and wrong must be right and wrong people. Remember, disaster comes out of your mouth.
6. Everyone has inertia, which is inherent, but we can change this inertia the day after tomorrow, because there are many people who are changing. Don’t wait for someone to do something or business. I just thought, don’t I don’t want to do it until others have made money. No one believes in the market and opportunities. What everyone believes in is called inflation.
7. Knowing what you want to do, in the dead of night, ask yourself about your future plans, and move in that direction to achieve it, instead of doing nothing and doing something meaningless.
8. There will always be a way out. When you go out, there will always be a way out. Difficulties and hardships, being stuck at home is hard, the society generally thinks.
9. As a woman, don't rely on the old and sell the old, think that your career has nothing to do with yourself, think that you are washing clothes, cooking, and looking after children. That is a big mistake.
10. Be a person, do it; filial piety in all things first, teach children the way of character, harmonious and beautiful husband and wife, and happiness for thousands of years. But these are not things that can be done just by talking. It takes a lot of hard work and hard work to do it in the early days of liberation. Today's real society requires you to pay a lot of money. Smart people know this. reason.
11. Don't often go online to do boring things and play some meaningless games in your free time, read some literature, learn some business procedures, management norms, international current affairs, and legal common sense. This will ensure that you will be able to talk at any gathering.
12, I would rather kill a thousand times by mistake from various sources of information, and never let go of any chance of success. Only then will you not buy regret medicine.
13. There is no need to tell others before success. Needless to say after success, everyone else will know. This is the effect brought about by the information age.
14. People who strive for progress, don't always think about who to rely on. People are selfish, and you are the most reliable person.
15. In the face of failure, don't care too much. If the sky will come down to the people, you must first painstakingly, work hard, hungry and skin, but learn to blame yourself, find the reason, and change the bad habits. It’s normal to have no money at the age of 20; if there is no money at the age of 30, it may be because you don’t have a good family background and need more effort; if you don’t have money at the age of 40, you can only find your own reasons. It is possible for the poor to become rich, and it is very possible. It is inevitable that the poor can be poor for a lifetime. Existence is the reason, but there are choices.
However, this beautiful rich man who is nearly 40 years old and has a net worth of more than 10 billion still has no plans to get married, and his boyfriend is nowhere to be seen. It is estimated that such a beautiful rich woman can hardly be worthy of it! Having said that, such a woman who combines talent, looks and money! I really don't know what kind of man it takes to conquer her heart!
