The words of Mr. Wang Jianlin, the founder of Wanda Group, are like a stone stirring up a thousand waves: "I would rather give money than let my relatives enter the company!" Behind this sentence is the result of his careful consideration of business management and family relationships, and it also reveals to us a problem that cannot be ignored in the development of family enterprises: the conflict between blood relations and enterprise development.

Family businesses occupy an important position in the world, and they often rise quickly in the early stages of entrepreneurship thanks to the trust and understanding between family members. However, with the expansion of the scale of enterprises and the intensification of market competition, the management problems of family businesses have gradually become prominent. Among them, the most prominent problem is the interference of blood relations in corporate decision-making. When faced with important decisions, many entrepreneurs are often influenced by the opinions and pressures of family members, making it difficult to make the most reasonable choices. Mr. Wang Jianlin's view is a powerful response to this phenomenon.
First of all, blood ties can lead to unfair and improper corporate decision-making. In a family business, family members often occupy important positions, and their opinions and interests can often influence the company's decision-making. However, due to the different affinity between family members, their power and status in the business will also vary. This unequal relationship often leads to unfair and improper decision-making, which damages the long-term interests of the enterprise. Mr. Wang Jianlin's refusal to let his relatives enter the company is precisely to avoid such injustice and misconduct, and to ensure the fairness and rationality of the company's decision-making.
Second, kinship can hinder innovation and growth of enterprises. In family business, due to the trust and tacit understanding between family members, it is often easy to form a fixed thinking mode and business mode. However, with the continuous change of the market and the intensification of competition, this fixed mindset and way of doing business often becomes an obstacle to the development of enterprises. The introduction of external talents can bring new ways of thinking and business strategies to the enterprise, and promote the continuous innovation and development of the enterprise. Mr. Wang Jianlin would rather give money to his relatives than let them enter the company, precisely in order to maintain the openness and innovation of the enterprise and inject new vitality into the development of the enterprise.
Finally, blood relations can lead to conflicts and strife within the enterprise. In family business, due to the entanglement of interests and power struggles between family members, it is often easy to cause contradictions and disputes within the enterprise. Such conflicts and disputes will not only affect the normal operation of the enterprise, but also damage the image and reputation of the enterprise. The introduction of external talents can bring new management concepts and business methods to the enterprise, and reduce the occurrence of internal contradictions and disputes. Mr. Wang Jianlin's refusal to let his relatives enter the company is precisely to maintain the stability and harmony of the enterprise and create a good internal environment for the development of the company.
To sum up, there is a conflict between blood relations and enterprise development that cannot be ignored. In the development of a family business, entrepreneurs should be aware of this and take corresponding measures to avoid the negative impact of blood relations on the development of the enterprise.
Mr. Wang Jianlin's approach provides us with a good example. He would rather give money to his relatives than let them into the company, which may seem callous, but in fact it is a sign of responsibility for the long-term development of the company. Only in this way can we truly achieve the sustainable development of the family business and create a more brilliant future for the future of the company.
