Shi Qiang just turned 30. His company is relatively young. It was founded in June, 20 18, and he has only 16 employees.
These are the facts.
But the more comprehensive fact is that although he is only 3 1 year old, he is a postdoctoral fellow and won the first prize of Yantai High-level Talents Entrepreneurship Competition with a prize of more than 700,000 yuan. It was also rated as the leading team of innovation and entrepreneurship, and won 3 million. In his team, there are 8 R&D personnel, only 1 for graduate students, and all others are doctors from prestigious universities. The company has been doing 3D manufacturing solutions for 5 months, and now it has a valuation of 50 million yuan and won 6 million seed rounds. Moreover, the company's technology and products are leading internationally, and the future is limitless.

How did he do it? This should be inseparable from several reasons.
First, actively pursue ability improvement and perfect professional technology.
Although it is not the first in learning, it has always been in the upstream. The college entrance examination of Shandong University shows that the foundation is good. When I chose my major, I thought the name information science and technology was amazing, so I decided to go. I thought I could change my major anyway. After going to college, I feel that I don't care much about my major, and it is more important to cultivate my ability. I just walked into the darkness. In his junior year, he decided to apply for a postgraduate degree at Karlsruhe University of Technology in Germany. Although this school is not as famous as Harvard and Yale, it also occupies a place among the top three elite universities in Germany. Postgraduates majoring in optics and photonics complete two credits in one year, and practice in the company for a whole year in the second year to write papers. Later, he studied applied physics and quantum communication as a Ph.D. student in this school. Seven years later, I went to Singapore to study as a postdoctoral fellow. He has published many papers and reports of international academic conferences on the improvement and application of super-resolution nano-3D manufacturing system.
He said with a smile that he had been studying because he couldn't find a job. In fact, he has been asking himself to have excellent professional skills to do a good job. He has an absolute say in his professional field. The professional belief in doing things has penetrated into the bone marrow.
Second, people can't get rid of the chains, as can be seen from the active recommendation of two senior brothers.
One day, when I was going to bed, I looked through my email and saw a man who claimed to be a professor invited him to go to Singapore to study as a postdoctoral fellow. Sleepy Shi Qiang thought he had met a liar and ignored it. The next day, I carefully read the suffix of the other party's email and found that it was the National University of Singapore. After careful inquiry, I know that his brother met the professor at an exhibition and strongly recommended Shi Qiang.
A few days ago, Shi Qiang, who returned to China to start a business, received a phone call from another senior he met while studying in Germany. My elder brother is very nice and capable, and works as the middle manager of the scientific research team in a big European company. Because of the distance, although the contact is not frequent, my brother is brave and he has been promoted. He didn't forget to take care of his younger brother and asked Shi Qiang if he would accept his position. I never expected that there was a big reversal. Shi Qiang said, why don't you look at this? Brother, please give me your resume and see if you can come to our company. Finally, this senior became a member of his team.
Third, we have autonomy and good decision-making ability since childhood.
The family atmosphere is relaxed, parents have the right to express their opinions and he has the freedom to choose whether to listen or not. It's been like this since childhood. When I was a child, I didn't do my homework. What major did I choose for the college entrance examination, which country I went to study in, and whether I wanted to start a business in China. He made his own decision.
Before he decided to study in Germany, he did a lot of thinking: first, it is not enough to have a bachelor's degree in this major, and he needs to continue his studies. Second, this school has the major he wants to study, and teaches in English instead of German, so as to ensure that he can understand and integrate into the environment. Third, Germany is good at lean manufacturing, Industry-University-Research has a good foundation, and the progress of the industry can support personal development.
Fourth, I like to think about why I want to do this, and the result-oriented thinking is very clear.
He likes to explore the reasons for doing something and doesn't want to waste time doing meaningless or retrogressive things. In his words, basically no one does what a swarm of bees does. This is in line with simono. Sinek Golden Circle Rule: Starting with "Why".
For him, finding a job and joining other people's teams is not much different from forming a team by himself. Whether what he does matches his interests and abilities is more crucial. Although starting a business is a hard job, it will encounter difficulties in all aspects, but it feels good to find problems, solve problems and achieve goals, which is a bit like solving problems.
Fifth, he has a broad social vision, which benefits from his education and experience in Germany.
German graduate students pass the application without taking the exam. Mainly depends on your previous experience, including transcripts, social practice experience, etc. Later, he also served as a judge of the application committee. It is found that students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan or Europe basically have rich social practical experience, such as teaching in Africa, participating in some academic organizations and organizing public welfare activities. Mainland students prefer grades, but social practice is basically to distribute leaflets, promote sales and go to the company for short-term internship. At that time, he deeply felt that achievement was a small part of personal development. Don't study hard, but have more experience, feeling and understanding of society.
In our stereotype, Germany is a rigorous and rigid country. Shi Qiang prefers to evaluate Germany as a serious developed country. This development is not only reflected in the economy, but also in the fact that most Germans think less about themselves and more about public society. Just like when foreigners have dangerous driving behavior, Germans will catch up and tell you in a friendly way that it is dangerous. Please pay attention. This is not road rage, but from your point of view to help you consider your life safety. This greatly affected Shi Qiang. What he is doing now is to promote social progress and benefit the development of enterprises in China, not just personal success. He believes that "the rise of China manufacturing is inseparable from China's creation, and the processing and manufacturing of ultra-high-precision three-dimensional materials and structures will definitely play an important role in the industrial upgrading of domestic manufacturing, so young people with ideas should not give up this opportunity". As stated in Driving Force, when a person has greater significance, not only for himself, his inner driving force is spontaneous.
Everything in the past is a preface. Shi Qiang's story is still being written slowly.
