Shoulder to shoulder with Ren Zhengfei: The richest man in Hong Kong behind Musk

1

On August 29, 2019, the 48-year-old Musk appeared at the "World Artificial Intelligence Conference" held in Shanghai.

After sitting side by side with Ma Yun and talking about Martian migration and AI intelligence, the reporter who has been following Musk's whereabouts suddenly found that he would "disappear" after that.

When the curious reporter asked tesla's public relations staff, the other party had a mysterious expression that had no comment.

Only the miraculous reporters learned through the relationship that Musk's Gulfstream G650 was still quietly parked on the special apron of Pudong Airport.

I didn't return to China, but I didn't know where I went, which made many people very curious.

Musk's "disappearance" experience was not solved until a year later, with a belated announcement of the Ningde era.

On February 3, 2020, CATL announced that it would become a battery supplier for Tesla's new Model 3.

It turned out that Musk directly met with Zeng Yuqun and some executives in the Ningde era after the meeting, and the two sides took less than an hour to finally reach a cooperation intention.

At this time, there are only 4 months left before tesla's Shanghai gigafactory is put into operation.

Interestingly, the announcement of cooperation is actually 4 days later than the date when the two sides actually signed the agreement.

Counting this time, this is musk's third meeting with Zeng Yuqun.

The first meeting between the two happened to be shortly after the listing of the Ningde era.

In July 2018, just a month after the catheter era went public, 50-year-old Zeng Yuqun quietly came to a hotel in Shanghai.

He received an invitation, and Musk, the founder of Tesla, wanted to "talk" to him.

At this time, Tesla and Panasonic just had a conflict because of the battery price problem, and it is urgent to change a new supplier.

After the two men secretly discussed for a while, there was no substantive result.

However, Musk met with Zeng Yuqun again a month later, and it is said that the two sides are still at odds this time.

The two negotiations were inconclusive because the Ningde era was not very interested in cooperation with Tesla.

The reason is very simple, the reason why Tesla and Panasonic broke up is that the other party thinks that the profit is too low.

In the face of Tesla, who has been losing money, and Musk, who must be compared, Zeng Yuqun is a little hesitant.

At this time, the Ningde era had just been listed, and it was not bad at all.

From 2018 to 2019, the operating income was 29.61 billion yuan and 45.788 billion yuan, and the net profit was 3.387 billion yuan and 4.56 billion yuan, respectively, with a market value of nearly 300 billion yuan.

Therefore, it was four days late to announce the news of cooperation between the two sides, which shows the entanglement in Zeng Yuqun's heart.

Fortunately, on the day of the announcement, although the stock price of the Ningde era went all the way up and down, it still maintained at 135.36 yuan, up 3.67%.

Later, everyone knows that Tesla completely washed away the loss of 17 years with a Model 3.

In 2021, the revenue of CATL reached 73.362 billion yuan, the net profit was 7.751 billion yuan, and the market value increased by 552.6 billion yuan, soaring to 1.3 trillion yuan.

The Ningde era in the new energy vehicle track stock price riding the dust, was crowned the capital market "Ning Wang" title, one of the reasons is a lot of tesla this "car".

This year, the personal wealth of the 53-year-old Tsang Yuk-qun increased nearly threefold from the previous year, surpassing Li Ka-shing to become the richest man in Hong Kong at 320 billion yuan.

However, dealing with Musk, the Ningde era really did not make any money. But because of Tesla, many people outside the circle know the name of the Ningde era.

Zeng Yuqun also knows in his heart that in the field of global new energy vehicles, no company understands customers better than Tesla, and at the same time can bring a qualitative leap to the Ningde era in vehicle battery technology.

Zeng Yuqun finally decided to work with Musk, perhaps he felt that this American, who was only 3 years younger than himself, had the same "gambling nature" in his personality.

Zeng Yuqun has been jokingly called the "gambling king" of China's energy battery industry by the industry.

The title of "Gambling King", according to Zeng Yuqun's own words, really "gambled" on his own.

Zeng Yuqun, a native of Fujian, once had a calligraphy work in his office that was "stronger gambling" hanging from his office.

Someone was curious to ask him, why not hang the Fujian people's favorite saying "love to fight to win"?

He replied, "Fighting alone is not enough, it is physical work; gambling is mental work." ”

In zeng Yuqun's decades of life "gambling", some of them are his mistakes and bumps in, and some are his careful layout.

In March 1968, Zeng Yuqun was born in Lankou Village, Ningde, Fujian Province.

In the early years, Fujian did not get good development opportunities because of its strategic location.

But Fujian people do not accept defeat in their bones, know that they have nothing to do, and if they do not fight hard, they will not be able to live.

Therefore, there is the Minnan song "Love to Fight to Win" that has been sung all over the country.

Zeng Yuqun is like this, and there is a fighting spirit in his personality.

There are many brothers and sisters in the Zeng family, but he is still able to study well, so he is particularly loved by his father, who was an accountant of the brigade.

"Three points are destined for heaven, and seven points depend on hard work", this is the truth that his father instilled in him when he was young.

Drinking half-dried and half-thin porridge and reading a book with a dim kerosene lamp, Zeng Yuqun knew that if he wanted to change his poor life, he could only "gamble" with himself.

If you lose, where you go, you will continue to drink porridge in a poor mountain village; when you win, the sparrow will become a phoenix, and you will eat "imperial food" from then on.

In 1985, at the age of 17, Zeng Yuqun was successfully admitted to the Department of Naval Architecture Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

From a remote mountain village in Fujian to a metropolis, Zeng Yuqun gambled to win the beginning of his life.

The bustling city opened Zeng Yuqun's eyes, but the thick accent and the hometown that was not rich made him always secretly envious of the classmates who grew up in the city.

In order to get rid of the boring time, Zeng Yuqun became fascinated by martial arts novels during his college days.

In the novel, he experienced the pleasure of doing heroic deeds and fighting righteousness, and he also had a deep feeling that the protagonist in the story always had to go through a lot of training to walk the rivers and lakes.

Perhaps after watching countless martial arts stories, he concluded that the protagonist's success is inseparable from two key elements: strength and opportunity.

But more importantly: when the opportunity is unknown, dare to "gamble".

However, Zeng Yuqun's so-called "gamble" is not a blind impulse, but a decisive force after careful consideration.

In 1989, at the age of 21, Zeng Yuqun graduated from university and was assigned to work in a state-owned enterprise in Fuzhou, serving the "iron rice bowl" that everyone dreamed of.

Life in state-owned enterprises is very comfortable and stable.

But Zeng Yuqun was not willing to curl up in the narrow world like this, facing the still closed Fujian, the jianghu in his heart was Dongguan, Guangdong, which was in full swing.

At this time, Dongguan is at the forefront of reform and opening up, and all kinds of enterprises have mushroomed on this hot land.

In Zeng Yuqun's eyes, this is the jianghu where he is about to show his skills.

After only three months of work, Zeng Yuqun gave up his public office and resolutely went south to Dongguan.

When the news reached his hometown, everyone from his family to his relatives thought he was crazy and actually gave up such a good job opportunity to work in the south.

But Zeng Yuqun was very determined in his heart, he knew that he had a golden key university diploma, and he also knew that the company at that time was very short of people who understood technology, and he would definitely break new ground in the new jianghu.

In fact, Zeng Yuqun was soon taken in by a subsidiary in Dongguan, THE NEW BRANCH Magnetic Power Plant, as a technical engineer.

With a sense of self-confidence, Zeng Yuqun broke into this new life gamble.

ST's parent company, Hong Kong SAE, was acquired by Japan's TDK Group in the 1990s.

ST Magneto specialized in the production of heads for computer hard drives at the time, and was a supplier to more than 70 percent of the world's hard drive companies, with annual sales of $1 billion.

Zeng Yuqun only worked in the state-owned enterprise for three months, but he worked hard at ST Magneto for ten years.

The reason for this may be found in a passage he later participated in the 125th anniversary of the founding of Jiaotong University and replied to the students of his alma mater.

At that time, a chemistry major asked him whether he should pursue this major after graduation, or jump into the hotter financial industry.

The reply given by Zeng Yuqun is that only by deeply cultivating his own profession, first doing one in ten miles, picking one in a hundred miles, and then picking one in a thousand miles and picking one in a thousand miles, the choice of life is the greatest opportunity.

To put it bluntly, Zeng Yuqun has long realized from martial arts novels that if he wants to become a person with strong martial arts, he must stand the test of time and constantly improve his skills before he can find a place in the jianghu.

ST Magneto's advanced technology and international management model have made Zeng Yuqun always full of enthusiasm for work, which may be the reason why he can endure and immerse himself in work for ten years.

During his work at xinke, Zeng Yuqun met a noble person in life, his boss Chen Tanghua.

Tanghua Chen is a Chinese-American and international expert in magnetic materials, having worked for IBM.

Because of his down-to-earth work, Zeng Yuqun was favored by Chen Tanghua and was sent to the United States and other places to learn new technologies.

Shoulder to shoulder with Ren Zhengfei: The richest man in Hong Kong behind Musk

It was also during his studies that Zeng Yuqun came into contact with the latest international battery research and development technology, which laid the groundwork for his later entrepreneurship.

In 1999, Zeng Yuqun, who was promoted by Chen Tanghua for 31 years, became the company's youngest technical director and the only mainland director of SAE.

This year, he was also promoted by former SAE executive Liang Shaokang, who was appointed president of TDK Group.

The promotion and salary increase is a happy event for Zeng Yuqun, but he also feels a little confused.

In ten years, from a layman to an industry expert and technical executive, Zeng Yuqun felt that he had also reached the bottleneck period of his career, and it was difficult for Japanese companies to have new development.

At this time, some headhunting companies have quietly found Zeng Yuqun and want to recruit him to a new company as a technical leader with high salaries.

Without waiting for Zeng Yuqun to think well, President Liang Shaokang found him and unexpectedly encouraged him to come out and start a business.

Liang Shaokang noticed as early as a few years ago that with the emergence of electronic products such as mobile phones and BP machines, the traditional battery industry is quietly undergoing a huge change.

The new dry battery can not only make traditional mobile phones and electronic devices become lightweight, but also can be quickly replaced and charged, which will trigger a revolution in the battery industry and is bound to be a huge business opportunity.

Liang Shaokang, on the recommendation of Chen Tanghua, went to Zeng Yuqun to do market research, and then submitted the transformation report to SAE headquarters.

However, this plan was strongly opposed by the headquarters and the Japanese side, which made Liang Shaokang very depressed.

Seeing that the good business opportunity was abandoned like this, Liang Shaokang was very unwilling, and came up with the idea of starting his own lithium battery, and persuaded his old friend Chen Tanghua to join.

Just in the face of Liang Shaokang's invitation, Zeng Yuqun was a little hesitant.

Although I have the idea of leaving the new department, one is to go to a place with a higher salary and a more familiar industry, and the other is a new industry with no security and no experience.

Liang Shaokang, who was anxious to start a business, was more anxious in his heart, afraid that Zeng Yuqun, who understood technology and was willing to study, ran away, repeatedly invited, and also pulled Chen Tanghua to give Zeng Yuqun a "telephone porridge" every day.

Weighing for a long time, because of the trust in Chen Tanghua, coupled with the awareness of the prospects of lithium battery technology, Zeng Yuqun finally agreed to "gamble".

In the autumn of 1999, the trio partnered to establish Amperex Technology Limited (ATL) in Hong Kong.

The world's martial arts are only fast and not broken, if not fast... We can only find a way to attack its weaknesses.

When ATL was established, the global battery industry had long been in the hands of major japanese battery manufacturers, and its hard-shell module battery packs had already dominated the market.

But this battery has a weakness, the style is bulky, the charging is inconvenient, and the model is still very single.

If ATL reference market products continue to produce such batteries, it will not only be difficult to fight japanese products, but also have an advantage in price.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the battery of one of Nokia's clamshell phones inspired the three of them.

This is a chocolate-shaped polymer lithium battery produced by Sony, which is small and easy to carry, suitable for all kinds of consumer electronics.

Zeng Yuqun quickly figured out through connections that this battery technology was developed by Bell Labs in the United States.

He predicted that as long as this technology is authorized, the lithium battery is flexibly packaged into different types of battery blocks to meet any electronic product, which will be the most powerful "secret weapon" of ATL.

This conclusion made Liang Shaokang and Chen Tanghua overjoyed, and immediately let Zeng Yuqun rush to the United States with more than $1 million and win the bell patent.

But it was not until Zeng Yuqun signed the agreement that he realized that the Americans were too "chicken thieves".

Not to mention that ATL paid bell labs more than $1 million in licensing fees in accordance with the agreement, and also stipulated that ATL would have to pay a corresponding deduction point for each battery produced.

The key is that this technology has been licensed by Bell Labs to more than 20 companies, which has made atTL, which was supposed to be a blockbuster, suddenly caught in a situation of strong enemies.

What is even more infuriating is that when Zeng Yuqun developed the battery according to the patented technology, he found that as long as it is charged and discharged many times, the battery will be deformed and cannot be used normally.

Shoulder to shoulder with Ren Zhengfei: The richest man in Hong Kong behind Musk

Angry, Zeng Yuqun asked Bell Labs for advice, but the person in charge put his hands together, saying that this situation did exist, and he and other authorized companies had encountered it, but they could study it and study it, and they did not have a rut.

The Americans played a rogue, which meant that Zeng Yuqun would solve it by themselves.

At that time, ATL had already spent 7788 million to raise $2.5 million to build a plant, buy equipment and patents.

Seeing that this investment was about to be adrift, Liang Shaokang said several times with a crying voice, it is really not OKAY, the brothers still think of a way out early.

Zeng Yuqun was also suffocated by a breath in his chest: the advice he made was a project he handled, but it turned out to be a mess...

Zeng Yuqun, who did not accept defeat, did not have time to comfort the two partners, and went into the laboratory to study it bitterly.

Crises often hide opportunities.

For half a month, Zeng Yuqun led the team to try dozens of electrolyte formulas, and after repeatedly testing the material composition, he finally solved the problem of battery charging and flatulence.

The technical problems that cannot be solved by the international top laboratories have been overcome by a Chinese, and Zeng Yuqun not only won the light for the Chinese, but also made ATL "come back to life".

With Zeng Yuqun's "unique skill", among the more than 20 companies in the world that have been authorized by Bell Labs, ATL has become the only enterprise with smooth mass production of soft-pack lithium batteries, and mobile phone battery orders generally come from all over the world.

In 2001, ATL completed its factory in Baima, Dongguan, and shipped 1 million batteries that year.

A year later, ATL achieved a profit of $5 million with a high cost performance ratio, and received $25 million in financing from investment groups such as Carlyle Capital of the United States and 3i Group of the United Kingdom.

In 2003, because of helping Apple solve the problem of short cycle life of iPod lithium batteries, ATL received an order for Apple's 18 million iPod batteries and successfully entered its supplier system.

This cooperation has enabled ATL to gain the opportunity of rapid development, leap to the benchmark of the domestic battery industry, and successfully win the battery orders of famous mobile phone manufacturers such as Samsung, Huawei, and OPPO.

However, because when ATL started its own business, the founding team over-diluted its own equity, so that the development of the company was always at the mercy of the capital behind it.

In 2005, the three major investment institutions saw the intensification of market competition and were eager to cash out.

In the end, ATL was acquired by its old owner, TDK Group, for $100 million, transforming it from a Chinese company into a 100% Japanese holding company.

During this period, Zeng Yuqun continued to develop rechargeable batteries while also continuing to "recharge", and successively obtained a master's degree in engineering and a doctorate degree in condensed matter physics from South China University of Technology and the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Zeng Yuqun, who is already in an important position, actually does not need to take any more degrees, but he still feels that only by continuing to study can he see clearly the next "gamble" in life.

At this time, his hometown of Ningde learned that there was such a fellow who had set up a high-tech enterprise in other places, and repeatedly invited Zeng Yuqun to return to his hometown to invest in the construction of a factory, but he refused.

After Zeng Yuqun's careful field visit to his hometown, he felt that it was difficult for ATL to agree to invest here, regardless of traffic or living environment.

There is no one who has achieved success in learning since ancient times who does not want to repay his hometown one day.

However, Zeng Yuqun also has unspeakable grievances, after the equity was sold to the Japanese side, although he said that he was a high-level person, he actually said that it did not count.

Shoulder to shoulder with Ren Zhengfei: The richest man in Hong Kong behind Musk

In 2008, as the world began to pay attention to new energy vehicles, China also took advantage of the East Wind of the Olympic Games to promote new energy vehicles in the form of policy binding finance. Whether it is a hybrid or pure electric car, a large number of batteries are required.

Zeng Yuqun, who smelled the business opportunities, immediately suggested that ATL set up a power battery department, began to develop on-board power batteries, and recommended huang Shilin, a college classmate, to be responsible for the project.

Huang Shilin is also the elder of ATL, graduated from college and followed Zeng Yuqun, and has been researching and developing automotive power lithium batteries.

In 2009, the Fujian-Guangdong Expressway was opened to traffic, and Ningde also opened a train.

Zeng Yuqun was more excited than anyone else, threatened to resign in the company, and finally established New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (ATL wholly owned subsidiary) in Ningde.

But at that time, everyone was not optimistic about Ningde, the entrepreneurial conditions here were not as superior as other coastal cities, and the industrial resources were almost zero, and everyone was waiting to see Zeng Yuqun's jokes.

"Sometimes it rises, sometimes it falls, good luck and bad luck, always have to follow the work."

During that time, Zeng Yuqun's mind was filled with this lyric.

The determination to set up a factory in his hometown of Ningde may be a long-cherished wish for the 41-year-old Zeng Yuqun, who has been wandering for half a lifetime, but it is also another gamble.

Whether he could win or not, he was not sure in his heart.

In 2010, China began to increase the pilot promotion of new energy vehicles from the original 15 cities to 20, and Cities such as Shanghai also launched subsidy policies for the purchase of new energy vehicles.

At the same time, several major international car companies have also launched their own new energy vehicles and prepared to enter the Chinese market.

In the same year, in order to protect China's fledgling new energy-related enterprises, the Chinese government made regulations for domestically registered foreign companies to restrict their involvement in the power battery industry, including Japanese atLS.

Also in this year, the former nobleman Chen Tanghua died of illness, and Liang Shaokang was promoted to TDK as chairman.

Whether to stay or fight again, Zeng Yuqun once again faced a choice.

Staying in ATL, lying in the mature mobile phone battery industry chain, you can continue to get a high salary, food and clothing worry-free; but if you stay, you are not only a "senior migrant worker" of Japanese companies, but also the good business opportunities in the field of new energy vehicles that you are optimistic about will also be lost.

However, entering the battery field of new energy vehicles to start a business is equivalent to taking everything that exists and then "gambling" again, and winning or losing is still unknown.

Zeng Yuqun suddenly realized Liang Shaokang's difficult choice.

After repeated discussions with Huang Shilin, Zeng Yuqun decided to completely separate the power battery team from the ATL "solo flight".

In 2011, Zeng Yuqun and Huang Shilin established China Amperex Technology Limited (CATL) on the basis of the original Ningde company, focusing on the research and development and production of energy storage lithium-ion battery systems.

However, in the early days of the Ningde era, there was a fierce debate between Zeng Yuqun and Huang Shilin, two friends.

At that time, the power battery industry generally used lithium iron phosphate technology, which was highly secure, but the battery capacity was limited, so battery manufacturers such as BYD generally used lithium iron phosphate batteries.

The ternary lithium battery developed by Huang Shilin led by the team uses nickel cobalt manganese oxide ternary cathode material, which has a large capacity but poor safety.

Therefore, even Huang Shilin suggested that enterprises should first engage in lithium iron phosphate batteries, and the insurance coefficient is high.

But Zeng Yuqun disagreed, he felt that the jianghu masters were dueling, paying attention to one move to defeat the enemy, if he still used the same tricks as them, he would not be able to play at all.

"Let's fight, it's a big deal to start all over again!" Zeng Yuqun comforted his old friend in this way.

In the end, at the insistence of Zeng Yuqun, CATL chose ALL IN ternary lithium battery technology and risked losing everything to overcome the difficulty of safety.

The technical difficulties were overcome, and the biggest problem in the Konind era was that there was no order.

Although relying on the relationship between the hometown people, the Ningde era has received orders from car companies such as Xiamen Golden Dragon Bus. However, because it is not well-known enough, coupled with the suspicion of ternary lithium batteries, domestic car companies still prefer battery manufacturers such as BYD.

The real turning point of the Ningde era was to receive an order from BMW Brilliance.

In 2012, BMW Brilliance wanted to design a new power battery for its first electric vehicle brand", "Zhinuo 1E", and found Zeng Yuqun, who had solved battery technology for Apple for a long time.

In the face of more than 800 pages of full German power battery standards, Zeng Yuqun had some worries after reading it, but he still gritted his teeth to accept the order.

After all, in any industrial supply chain, being able to take orders from the head enterprise means that there will be a steady stream of other companies looking for you in the future.

Taking over the order of BMW is crucial for the Ningde era, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Then, for two full years, Zeng Yuqun led the team to work closely with an engineer stationed by BMW to achieve all of BMW's battery standards one by one, and the cost performance was higher.

In 2014, BMW's new electric vehicle was successfully launched, and CATL officially became the first Chinese power battery supplier among international car companies.

With the blessing of BMW's aura, CATL has also successfully received orders from Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and many domestic new energy vehicle companies.

In just one year, CATL has surpassed other foreign battery companies in the world, ranking third in the world in installed capacity.

From a certain point of view, the Ningde era began with the times and took off from policy.

Shoulder to shoulder with Ren Zhengfei: The richest man in Hong Kong behind Musk

In 2016, due to the state's protection and encouragement of the new energy vehicle industry, the on-board battery model was restricted, and the Japanese battery was excluded, and the ternary battery of the Ningde era became one of the subsidy objects.

The Ningde era, which has caught up with the time, location, and people, has also entered a "good era" of rapid development.

In 2017, CATL surpassed Japan's Panasonic with an installed capacity of 12GWH and won the industry crown.

This is the first company to achieve global leadership in key automotive components since China's automotive manufacturing industry began.

This year, China's new energy vehicle sales were 770,000 units, an increase of 53% year-on-year, ranking first in the world for the third consecutive year.

In these new energy vehicles sold, almost half of the batteries used are from the Ningde era.

But Zeng Yuqun was not excited, and he sent an internal letter to the employees, "Can Pigs Really Fly?" When the typhoon is gone, what is the fate of the pigs? 》

The letter mentioned: "Have we ever thought that if a foreign company comes back in the second half of the year, can we still sleep blindfolded?" Will the state protect uncompetitive businesses? ”

Between the lines, Zeng Yuqun's deep anxiety was revealed.

However, anxiety returns to anxiety, and the achievements of the Ningde era are still obvious to all, and it is naturally indispensable to follow capital.

CATL began its IPO in 2016, and due to the optimism of investment institutions, it soon over-raised 8 billion yuan and the post-investment valuation reached 80 billion yuan.

In June 2018, CATL logged on to the ChiNext board at lightning speed, with an issue price of 25.14 yuan per share, raising 13.1 billion yuan and a market value of 131.2 billion yuan on the day of listing.

It is also because of the existence of the Ningde era that Ningde City is no longer the poor and remote area of the past.

Nearly 100 supporting enterprises around the Ningde era have formed a lithium battery and new energy automobile industry cluster with an output value of nearly 100 billion, contributing tens of billions of fiscal revenues every year and providing hundreds of thousands of jobs.

In order to maintain the industry's leading position, CATL is also known as the "most willing to spend money" company in the industry.

Investing more than 30 billion yuan in research and development every year, researchers with doctoral degrees in the national lithium battery industry are almost all included in the army, and so far have 4 R&D teams of more than 5,000 people, which is the best in the industry.

Today, the global lithium battery sales and market share of the Ningde era, which was established only 11 years ago, are still outstanding. In particular, the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology used by Tesla has made foreign battery manufacturers look back.

The Ningde era has come to where it is today, and South Korea's LG has spent more than 70 years and Japan's Panasonic used it for more than 100 years.

People are often attracted by the dazzling stories of Internet manufacturers, but they do not know that these domestic Internet companies only need to "digest internally" under the protection of policies, and do not have to worry about external competitors.

However, China's manufacturing industry is not generally difficult, not only to compete with overseas giants with abundant funds, advanced technology and management experience, but also to prevent competitors who covet the market from engaging in price dumping.

From this point of view, the value of the existence of the Ningde era is self-evident.

Wang Xing, CEO of Meituan, also a Fujianese, once said: "Zeng Yuqun in the Ningde era is an entrepreneur who will be comparable to Ren Zhengfei in the future. I didn't understand anything at first, but then from the perspective of manufacturing, I immediately understood. ”

The seemingly successful "gamble" of life is not only Zeng Yuqun's determination to plan and then move, but also comes from his strong confidence in China's manufacturing industry.

Today, Zeng Yuqun has replaced the painting of "gambling stronger" with "Pu Bo Yuanquan".

Shoulder to shoulder with Ren Zhengfei: The richest man in Hong Kong behind Musk

These four words come from the "Pu Bo Yuanquan, and the time comes out".

The implication is that the wisdom and virtues of the enlightened are endless, ready to burst forth, and there is no need to deliberately seek them.

Also, Zeng Yuqun, who bet on the "gamble of life" again and again, has already established a sect in the jianghu, and should no longer "gamble".

As a "generation of grandmasters" in the industry, he knows better that there will be no eternal winners in the jianghu.

In the face of the new energy vehicle industry' rush into the industry, the lithium battery industry is constantly setting off a new technological revolution, policy risks still exist, and Zeng Yuqun's anxiety has not decreased.

From this point of view, the 54-year-old Zeng Yuqun's "life gamble" is far from over.
