After putting the coins in your pocket, take out 100 Hong Kong dollars from your wallet and give them to the security guard as a reward.

It is not worthwhile to spend one yuan 100. Someone asked Li Ka-shing about it.

Explanation: "If I don't pick up the coin, it will disappear in this world. I will give the security guard 100 yuan and he can spend it. I think

Money can be used, but not wasted. "

Strong knowledge consciousness

Teenagers learn knowledge and benefit for life.

Li Ka-shing once lamented his learning experience before 14 years old: "The knowledge I learned in my youth is precious, and it will benefit me for life."

Li Ka-shing was born in a scholarly family. The origin of family studies has a profound and lasting influence on young Li Ka-shing, and many excellent moral qualities of Li Ka-shing are cultivated in this profound family study. Li Ka-shing's great-grandfather Li was one of the eight civil servants selected by the Qing Dynasty. Li Ka-shing's grandfather, Li Xiaofan, was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and also a learned scholar. Li Ka-shing's father, Li Yunjing, was smart and studious since childhood. 15 years old, admitted to Jinshan Middle School with excellent results. When he graduated, he ranked first in the school. Because of his poor family, he could not continue his studies, so he had to follow the family instructions and embark on the road of teaching. At the age of three, Li Ka-shing was able to recite poems such as The Sacred Amethyst and One Thousand Poems, which were the enlightenment books of his childhood, and Li Ka-shing was influenced by the traditional culture of China. When Li Ka-shing entered primary school at the age of five, the sound of reading "Even the Yes" was mixed with the chanting of Guan Hai Temple and echoed in the streets. Li Dongyang Li Ka-shing is not satisfied with Professor Yu Xiansheng's poems. His strong thirst for knowledge makes him read widely, especially those patriotic poems that have been handed down through the ages, deeply burying the foundation of national culture and national spirit in Li Ka-shing's young mind. In the Li family's old house, there is a library. When Li Ka-shing comes home from school every day, he spends his time in this library and reads poems tirelessly, so he is called a "bookworm" by his cousins. Li Dongyang Li Ka-shing studies very hard and often reads with the light on at night.

In such an atmosphere of learning and seeking knowledge, Li Ka-shing finished primary school and learned the knowledge of Chinese studies in his youth, which had a far-reaching impact on his life and laid a valuable foundation for the later development and glory of Li Ka-shing.

"Grab knowledge"

The word "knowledge grabbing" was first coined by Li Ka-shing, which reflects his arduous course of pursuing knowledge and creating wealth as an entrepreneur for decades.

Li Ka-shing, 14 years old, was forced by life to work in a teahouse. He has to work more than 15 hours a day. When he got home, he had to burn the oil lamp and study hard until late at night. Because I study too hard, I often forget the time, so that I think it's time to go to work when I want to sleep. Colleagues get together to play mahjong in their spare time, but Li Ka-shing is eating a book "Cihai". After a long time, a thick "Ci Hai" turned black.

After working as an apprentice in Central South Company, I went to work during the day and worked by myself at night. At this time, Li Ka-shing set himself a new goal-to use his spare time to finish the middle school courses by himself. Although Li Ka-shing has a strong thirst for knowledge, he is worried that there are no textbooks. Because the salary is meager, I have to support my family and younger siblings to go to school, and I don't have much extra money to buy teaching materials. Li Ka-shing can only buy old textbooks. Looking back, Li Ka-shing said, "When my father died, I was less than 15 years old. Faced with the harsh reality, I had to go to work and had to drop out of school. At that time, I wanted to study too much, but my family was too poor to buy old books for self-study. My little wisdom is forced by circumstances. With a little money, I can buy semi-new and not old textbooks, sell them to old bookstores after learning, and then buy new and old textbooks. In this way, I have learned knowledge and saved money, killing two birds with one stone. "

Li Ka-shing lives in Hong Kong. If it wants to integrate into this international metropolis, it must solve the language barriers of Cantonese and English. Li Yunjing asked his son to "learn to be a Hong Kong person". On the one hand, we can base ourselves on Hong Kong society, on the other hand, we can directly engage in international exchanges. If you get ahead in the future, you can also climb the Longmen and join the upper class in Hong Kong. Li Ka-shing regards learning Cantonese as a major event. He worshipped his cousin as a teacher, studied hard and practiced hard, and soon learned to speak fluent Cantonese. Li Ka-shing's English study is almost possessed. On the way to and from school, he recited words while walking. In the dead of night, afraid of affecting his family's rest, he ran outside to read English alone under the street lamp. At first light, he got up again, mumbling something, either reading aloud or reciting English. Even after working in a teahouse and working as an apprentice in Zhongnan Company, Li Ka-shing never stopped learning English in his spare time after more than 65,438+00 hours of hard work every day. Hard work pays off. With the perseverance of studying hard, Li Ka-shing mastered English skillfully several years later. Even in his later years, Li Ka-shing, who was over 70 years old, said in an interview: "I watch English TV every night and brush up my English."

In Li Ka-shing's business wars in the next few decades, both Cantonese and English made him handy in business and benefited a lot. In Hong Kong, Cantonese is very popular among Chinese, so it can be said that you can't move without knowing it. English has brought immeasurable wealth to Li Ka-shing. At the beginning of the establishment of Changjiang Plastic Factory, Li Ka-shing directly contacted foreign businessmen in fluent English, thus winning the crucial order for the plastic factory to take off.

Li Ka-shing once described himself as "others are learning, and I am rushing to learn." He believes that being good at "grabbing knowledge" means grabbing wealth and grabbing the future.

"Knowledge changes fate"

Li Ka-shing earnestly warned people: "Knowledge changes fate." He firmly believes: "If today's shopping malls want to win with knowledge, only through diligent study can they lead to a new world of life." These are Li Ka-shing's thoughts and experiences in business for decades.

From the poor apprentice to the "king of plastic flowers", from the real estate tycoon to the stock market tycoon, from the business superman to the knowledge economy giant, from the supreme industry to the modern high-tech deep charge ... Along the way, Li Ka-shing can almost take the lead, make a new voice of the times and win huge wealth. He studied hard all his life, read widely, took knowledge as a guide, dared to try new fields that he had never set foot in, and repeatedly gained rich results. Every strategic choice he made can not only adapt to the changes of industries and industry trends, but also promote social progress and development. Some scholars commented on Li Ka-shing and said, "He is a man who leaps into the endless changes of modernization".

In the first few years of establishing "Changjiang Plastic Factory" in Li Ka-shing, there were more than 300 local plastic toy factories. Changjiang Plastic Factory is just one of them, just a little-known factory, which is in good operating condition, but lacks characteristics. Obviously, such market competition is fierce and the survival situation of the factory is difficult. Li Ka-shing realized that only by seeking a big breakthrough can Changjiang Plastic Factory stand out in the same industry and achieve rapid development. Li Ka-shing pays close attention to any trend in the plastics industry. Finally, while reading the English version of Plastic magazine, Li Ka-shing found a news about an Italian company, which designed and manufactured plastic flowers with plastic raw materials, which will be sold to European and American markets soon. Li Ka-shing immediately judged that the introduction of plastic flowers will definitely revolutionize the plastic market. So, in the predicament of no money, no skills and no talents, he flew to Italy alone to learn from the teacher. During his stay in Italy, Li Ka-shing learned the skill of making plastic flowers with perseverance, hard-working spirit, studious wisdom and clever courage, and soon returned home with a full load. Since then, Hong Kong has ushered in the golden age of plastic flowers, which has won the reputation of "the king of plastic flowers" for Li Ka-shing and the first pot of gold for Li Ka-shing to build a future commercial kingdom.

As a matter of fact, Li Ka-shing has had countless opportunities to grasp wealth in his life, and every opportunity is the favor of the God of Luck. There is no other way, but it is the inevitable harvest of his tireless pursuit of knowledge. As Li Ka-shing himself said: "We are in a rapidly changing society, the world is moving towards integration, technology is constantly innovating, and advanced information systems are creating new wealth, new economic cycle, life and society. We must master these changes, seek knowledge and innovation, strengthen our ability, strive for development on a good foundation, and prepare for danger in peacetime. No matter how well it develops, we should always be prepared. Wealth comes from knowledge, and knowledge is an individual's most valuable asset. "

"continuous learning"

A reporter asked Li Ka-shing: "What makes you have such a huge business kingdom today?" Li Ka-shing replied: "By knowledge." Someone asked Li Ka-shing, "Mr. Li, what made you successful?" Li Ka-shing replied without hesitation: "Through learning, keep learning." Yes, "continuous learning" is the secret of Li Ka-shing's great success.

In his business career of more than 60 years, Li Ka-shing has always maintained a strong thirst for knowledge. Every night before he goes to bed, he will read books or magazines for half an hour to learn knowledge, understand the market and master information. He said that reading is not only interesting, but also enlightens the mind and stimulates thinking. According to himself, he reads books on literature, history, philosophy, science, technology and economy instead of novels. He doesn't watch entertainment news and thinks he can save time. Recalling the past, he said, "When I was young, I was modest on the surface, but I was actually proud." Why proud? Because I am constantly pursuing new things and making progress every day, which is not far from my goal. It is impossible to have only a little knowledge now. I want to learn more knowledge and learn more new knowledge. "

Li Ka-shing has no plans to retire after becoming the richest Chinese in the world. He continues to study and work in the office every day. He is an outstanding entrepreneur who really practices "never too old to learn". He said: "Many businessmen who don't study, master new knowledge, and don't mention high-intelligence assets and get rich by some chance can still live on their laurels. This is their mentality." It's not desirable now. "

Li Ka-shing said: "Only by constantly filling in new knowledge can a person adapt to the ever-changing modern society, otherwise you will be surpassed by people with new knowledge." So much for Li Ka-shing-struggling to catch up with the times and leading the way in the torrent of modern society.
