Liu Qiang East: most unlike the founder of founder
"Chinese entrepreneurs" reporter Yong
【Network】 Chinese entrepreneurs in the entrepreneurial entrepreneurs, Liu Qiang East is the best I've ever seen not as the founder. The style and attitudes of their conversation, more like a foreign senior professional managers, just a little more sharp and alienation, somewhat less close and smooth.
"work to live"
find Qiang East is to understand the development of e-commerce industry, interviews can say is unsatisfactory, but rather the person I had a keen interest. He gave me the feeling of a dilemma - words sharp, sincere and gas field, gives a powerful sense of alienation seems to always need to have their own separate space, and people to maintain a safe distance.
Jingdong office environment is very crowded, stark contrast to his office. Large, which has a rockery, and a large round table meeting, said that executives often Jingdong meeting here, sitting across the interview, I feel trance commercial negotiations. So he proposed to sit next to an interview and was turned down.
I do not know what he went through, in short he does not look like a study of liberal arts (sociology) was born person, and always felt his heart seemed determined to knot. KAPPA his interview wearing a T-shirt, I think he loves sports, the result is not, he sports a bad childhood, but the love of sports (a dilemma). His hobby is fishing and cross country (both love seems very contradictory), is said to drive very crazy, leaping vacated favorite moment of feeling, often through the desert, but also because too crazy drive through back injury.
Initially, I felt "to be interviewed for it." He kept asking my views on e-commerce, as well as interviews with knowledge. All he seems to feel natural light, but show business and a deep insight into human nature. He is a sales background, but I have seen other similar entrepreneurs and professional managers of temperament is entirely different.
Also worth mentioning is that he is after 80, 90, after the view that they seek to enjoy, the pursuit of fair natural, is reasonable. In addition, he strongly endorsed the bones seem to "work to live." Perhaps because of this, he was not familiar with my company founder - said he often dropped the company, spent time in over a week or two off.
view, he does have a loyal, powerful management team, no wonder he thinks this is Jingdong's "core competencies." But I am most curious about is what makes him such a character formation, such values? Behind him, what little known stories?
