company nope one of them and I won't even name the name but it was really interesting company ended up doing really well I wish we had purchased it but the thing is he was like we're actually not gonna do many deals now you should probably just go golfing and for like a 20-something year old thinking to themselves like I want to make a
difference in the world and your boss is telling you to go golfing like maybe I should just leave so I did and I actually there's a chapter in between Google and and bourbon that not many people know about but I ended up joining a start-up of some ex-google folks called next stop hugely transformational for me because it's where I cut my teeth learning to program learning to build a site and everything I learned in that year at next stop before starting bourbon was actually
like it made me ready to go do bourbon so again every move you think needs to be perfect it turns out just like surround yourself by great people where you can learn the most and great things will happen but I didn't go golfing and that's rule number two now I never know I would be able to survive for 40 years so I I call myself like a blind man riding on the back of a blind tiger and for 20 years survived to today still surviving but we want to make this company lost 102 years so we
finished only 60 years there are 86 years ago so you started in 1999 yeah because in China everybody wanted to be make company for last a hundred years that this become a slogan nobody take it seriously so if you want if you want to give you know the KPI to your people should be very specific then people know it's a series 102 years that we were boy in 1999 alibaba's who last a century we had one year and this century want to have a 100 years next century one year 102 cross three centuries so very specific is a within our company we never talk to your succeed successful not because we
think they're 86 years next to 86 years there are many chances they fail so that's why we say don't talk about your successful 86 years later we'll talk about it and this is something we know how to make this thing happen so I think generally I'm a positive but next two to three years maybe have problems because they were Anti Corruption this but think about anti-corruption and rule by law is laying a great foundation for the market common economy you don't
want to go to business by bribery you don't want to have an unfair environment the market coming is by rule by law and market economy is about a clear transparent and fair and I think this year does here bad but this is why we need entrepreneurs ship this is why we need that the business to drive the economy so I'm a positive and people when people worry I'm happy when people do happy I start to worry because and I don't worry about the things the president is worried about worry about the things that nobody worry about and this is the opportunity so I'm positive because I'm
not I'm not I'm positive but I'm not stupid I know do we have a problems but you have to solve the problems later by little and for just a minute I'd like for the moment to have you have you pretend I've made you a great offer and I've told you that you could pick any one of your classmates and you now know each other probably pretty well after being here for a while you can think you have 24 hours to think it over and you can pick any one of your classmates and you get
10% of their earnings for the rest of their lives I ask you what goes through your mind in determining which one of those you would pick you can't pick the one with the richest father that doesn't count I mean you've got to got to do this on merit but you probably wouldn't pick a person against the highest grades in the class I mean that nothing wrong with getting highest grades in the class but that that isn't going to be the quality that
