On September 10, 2019, Jack Ma announced his resignation as chairman of the board of directors of Alibaba, and an article entitled "There is no so-called Jack Ma era, only Jack Ma in the era" was published, which was published by People's Daily Online People's Financial Review.

Five years later, Li Shufu, chairman of Geely Holding Group, said in a recent speech at Tsinghua University that his friend had given him a book titled "The Times Made Li Shufu".

Li Shufu said in his speech that I herded cattle when I was a teenager, rode a bicycle to do business during the transition period of my youth, started a business on a motorcycle when I was young, and entered the automobile industry after the age of 30. The policy wave of reform and opening up has pushed peasants like me onto the cusp of economic construction and industrial transformation. For me, it was all about luck today. I must be grateful, thank you for this great era, thank you for all the good people who gave me luck, and I will continue to work hard to give back to the world everything I have, return it to the world, and dedicate it to kind and hard-working people.

It can be seen that compared with Ma Yun, Li Shufu is different.

Li Shufu further said that the pursuit of life is the wonderful process, do you agree or not? What we challenge is actually an experience of the life process. Life can't be repeated, it can only go all the way. Whether in academia or business, no matter what field you are in, there are many uncertainties. As long as we judge the situation, adjust our growth trajectory in time, and conform to the trend of this era, there will always be an opportunity to sprout and take root.

Maybe it's because Li Shufu is grateful for this great era and conforms to the trend of the times. Under his helm, Geely, which focuses on the real economy and intelligent manufacturing, has been ranked among the Fortune Global 500 for 13 consecutive years.

According to the data, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group ranked 185th on the list with a revenue of 70.4 billion US dollars this year, and was on the list of the world's top 500 for the 13th consecutive year, an increase of 40 places from last year, and was also the only car company selected in Zhejiang.

In 2012, Geely Holding entered the world's top 500 for the first time, and then rose in the rankings, entering the top 400 in 2017, the top 300 in 2018, and the top 200 for the first time this year.

Geely currently has more than 4,000 sales outlets around the world, covering more than 100 countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden and Belgium, and controls many internationally renowned car brands such as Volvo, Lynk & Co, Proton, Lotus and smart.

In addition, Li Shufu has 9 listed companies under his name, including Geely Automobile, Volvo, Polestar Auto, ECARX, Qianjiang Motorcycle, Hanma Technology, Lotus Technology, Lifan Technology, and Zeekr Automobile.

According to the previous list released by the Hurun Wealth Rankings, Li Shufu ranked tenth in China with a wealth of 160 billion yuan, up 2 places, ranking 74th in the world.

Not only does he say "to conform to the trend of this era", Li Shufu actually does this, and Geely is currently benchmarking Elon · Musk of Tesla and SpaceX: "One hand to build cars, one hand to make stars".

Founded in 2021, the Geely Future Constellation is the world's first commercial integrated constellation of communication, navigation and remote sensing, with 20 satellites currently in orbit and plans to complete the first phase of 72 satellites in 2025.

According to media reports, the second phase of the constellation will be expanded to 168 satellites, which can achieve global centimeter-level high-precision positioning services. The constellation satellite is equipped with AI remote sensing function, which can provide 1-5m high-resolution remote sensing image products and services, enabling ecological environment monitoring and other fields.

In the words of Yu Miaojie, former secretary of the Party Committee and vice president of the National School of Development of Peking University, the development of individuals or enterprises can only be stable and far-reaching only if they conform to the trend of the times and are highly consistent with the direction of national development.
