"The influence of an entrepreneur is not how much he has, but how much he has created and how much he has changed, so the influence of an entrepreneur mainly lies in his contribution." On October 14, in CCTV's "Dialogue" program, Liang Wengen, chairman of Sany Heavy Industry, expressed his views on the influence of entrepreneurs.

On the same day, Liang Wengen, Chairman of Sany Heavy Industry, Fu Chengyu, Chairman of Sinopec Group, Jiang Jianqing, Chairman of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Xiong Weiping, General Manager of Aluminum Corporation of China, Ning Gaoning, Chairman of COFCO, Wei Jiafu, Chairman of COSCO Group, and Li Shufu, Chairman of Geely Group, gathered at the CCTV "Dialogue" program to discuss the theme of "Enhancing the Influence of Chinese Entrepreneurs" with hundreds of well-known domestic entrepreneurs in the audience.

From the three aspects of overseas business development, cultural integration and international talent training, the entrepreneurs discussed a series of topics such as the outstanding problems faced by Chinese enterprises when going overseas in the current world economic environment, the role of Chinese entrepreneurs in promoting the development of enterprises, and how to enhance the international influence of Chinese entrepreneurs.

Facing the host Chen Weihong, "What is Entrepreneur Influence?" Liang Wengen expressed his opinion. Liang Wengen believes that there is no correlation between the influence and wealth of entrepreneurs, and he said that many entrepreneurs in state-owned enterprises do not have much wealth, but they have great influence. Jobs has never been the richest man, but his influence is huge. Liang Wengen* later concluded: "The influence of an entrepreneur is not how much he has, but how much he has created and how much he has changed, so the influence of an entrepreneur mainly lies in his contribution." ”

In recent years, more and more Chinese companies have been going overseas. Data show that in the past 10 years, the foreign direct investment of non-financial enterprises has soared from US$2.7 billion to US$60 billion. By the end of 2011, there were 18 million institutions set up overseas by Chinese investors. So, how much influence can entrepreneurs have? In "transnational marriage", can the influence of entrepreneurs play a certain role?

Speaking of "transnational marriage", the host Chen Weihong made a special mention of Sany, he said, in April this year, we went to Germany to do a Sino-German industrial development forum, and the Germans saw our *5656 sentences and said, I know your Sany Heavy Industry, they bought our country's elephant - Putzmeister.

Sany's acquisition of Putzmeister is considered a "Sino-German exemplary deal" and is rare in the history of global acquisitions, and Liang Wengen shared the story behind the merger with the entrepreneurs on the scene. Liang Wengen met for the first time with Mr. Schlechter, the founder of Putzmeister, and the two did not talk about business, but about "the way of Confucius and Mencius", and both of them greatly admired the Confucianism of "benevolence, kindness, and righteousness". Liang Wengen believes that it is such a life value that makes the two "love at first sight", and he only said three points about mergers and acquisitions, "The success of mergers and acquisitions will always maintain the brand of Putzmeister; Stuttgart, where Putzmeister is located, will become the overseas headquarters of Sany Construction Machinery's Yong*; For 3 years, the senior management of Putzmeister will remain basically unchanged, and there will be no layoffs due to mergers and acquisitions. ”

To everyone's surprise, at the dinner three and a half hours later, Schlechter raised his glass and said: "Now I declare that Putzmeister belongs to Mr. Liang." The legendary story of Sany won the applause of the entrepreneurs on the scene, and this is also considered to be the manifestation of Liang Wengen's entrepreneurial charm and a manifestation of the influence of entrepreneurs.

* After that, the entrepreneurs gave their views on "what Chinese entrepreneurs rely on to enhance their international influence". This round of "dialogue" not only provided constructive suggestions for Chinese enterprises to "go global", but also highlighted the necessity and importance of enhancing the international influence of Chinese entrepreneurs, and pointed out the direction for Chinese entrepreneurs to enter overseas in the future.
