各位领导，各位嘉宾：

大家下午好！

非常高兴我能受邀参加这次的亚洲青年领袖论坛。对亚洲青年领袖论坛我们期盼已久了，从去年到今年，相信论坛走过了一个不寻常的历程。因为疫情的原因，所以，今天大会的召开更为宝贵。

我是国福商学的王丽峰，我演讲的主题是“和而不同，向上生长”。

我今天要谈的是企业家精神，在这里我想让大家一起去思考的是中国两代企业家精神。企业家精神我们可以想象的版本不同，有企业家的品格、领导魅力等等，而我这里所讲的是国福观点，从四个方面展开两代中国企业家精神内涵的同与不同还有我们的实践和计划。国福做企业家培训已经有17年的历史了，最早是国务院发展研究中心发起的。

我们从这四个方面来谈谈中国企业家的精神内涵。全球观，就是企业家要有全球视野，因为我们是人类命运的共同体。从我们自身的角度来看，我们办学17年，带领大家从游学出发，到斯坦福、到美国、到全世界，这就是全球观；中国心，就是我们每一位企业家都应该拥有一颗红色的、时时跳动的中国心；创新力，在我们办学之初，时任国务院发展研究中心主任的王梦奎为我们题词 “拔新领异”，意为企业家一定要有一颗创新的心，激发企业家创新能力；实践力，即国家的实践，也包含企业的实践，实践力也体现企业家自身的实践能力。

谈谈两代企业家精神的同和不同：和而不同，向上生长。两代企业家，指第一代企业家和我们新青年企业家。相同的企业家内涵是我们沟通的基础。不同的是，我们的中国公共外交协会会长讲得很好，就是我们做不到的，青年人做得到，他们是键盘高手，是网络高手，是时尚高手。而我们呢，可能这些都不是我们的强项。我们从中可以看到，时代背景不同、起点不同、知识和能力的积累不同，所以方法工具不同、路径不同，当然生活方式和喜好肯定不同。我相信我们的企业家父辈一定是想嘱咐我们的青年人，更多的是告诉他们该怎样成长，不辞辛苦地跟我们的青年人讲你们的成功经验。但是当我们和新青年班的学员来探讨课程的时候获悉，青年人并不想听你们的成功经验，并不想听你们怎么样艰苦地奋斗，他们更想听的是你们失败过吗？你们的失败经验是什么？希望你们谈谈失败经验。所以我们下面的课程设计策划定为“失败的力量”。

我简单说一下国福。国福的全称是国研·斯坦福，国研·斯坦福是2004年由国务院发展研究中心发起并联合美国斯坦福大学共同推出的，简称国福，是中国企业系统性培养计划。领导题词是“运用之妙，存乎一心”，是由徐匡迪在2004年所题。发起人是国务院发展研究中心时任主任王梦奎，他以“拔新领异”作为对中国企业新领袖计划的寄语。这17年中，因为是国务院发展研究中心作为学术指导，所以有着庞大的导师阵营。2004年至今，曾莅临国福的中方导师有300多名，外方导师超过100名，其中，部级领导是23%，司局级领导30%，也包括优秀企业家、著名学者、著名院士。17年中，国研·斯坦福已成功地培养了国内外30个行业的上千名企业家，从2000年到现在的世界五百强的排名中可以看到中国企业家崛起。2000年前后我们大约只有13家企业进入世界五百强，到今天，我们中国企业进入世界500强的数量已经超过美国，共133家，而美国是121家。世界五百强今年排名前5位的，有3家是中国企业，中石化、中石油、中国电网，这三个企业的一把手曾经是国福的学员。我们有10个学友会，学员领导着200多家的上市公司，65家位列世界五百强的公司，这些企业每年创造的产值超过20万亿。

未来国福将砥砺前行，不忘初心，专注于提升企业家的四种能力。我想跟大家说一下，我们正在打造的是国福致力于传承与创新的新青班。当然，鉴于对我们国家政策的解读，国策班一直是我们办学的计划，后面有五百强企业的发展研究计划，希望五百强的企业、企业家也成为国务院发展中心、国务院智库的研究员。新青班的打造，追求传承与创新，就是想让青年人能够行走天下、溯源商道、深度学习、遇见未来。

谈谈双碳政策。双碳政策是国家中长期战略规划，所以怎样在低碳的情况下达到高质量发展，这是我们国家的命题，也是企业家的命题，也是企业营运的项目。

再回到我今天的演讲题目“和而不同，向上生长”。我们认为企业家精神最重要的内涵就是这四点：全球观、中国心、创新力、实践力。我坚信中国企业家的全球观、中国心、创新力、实践力将不断地传承下去，发扬光大，我们中国企业家精神将不断地向上生长，生生不息，为中华民族的伟大复兴而奋斗努力。


On 27 November, Wang Lifeng, Chair of China New Entrepreneur Development Program, delivered a keynote speech titled “Seek Harmony from Differences for Constant Growth” at the Culture, Education, and Tourism Development Forum of the Asia Youth Leaders Forum 2021.

The full speech is as below.

Dear dignitaries and distinguished guests,
Good afternoon! I'm very glad to have been invited to the Asia Youth Leaders Forum. We have been looking forward to the forum for a long time, since last year. This is an unusual experience due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has made today's forum more precious.

The theme of my speech is "Seek Harmony from Differences for Constant Growth". Talking about entrepreneurship, I want you to think about the entrepreneurship of the previous generation and this one. We may imagine entrepreneurship in different versions. It could be entrepreneurial qualities, or it could be charisma. Here I want to talk about entrepreneurship through the lenses of our China New Entrepreneur Development Program (NEDP) from four aspects. I also want to talk about the similarities and differences between entrepreneurship of the two generations and our practices and plans.

We will talk about the meaning of Chinese entrepreneurship from four aspects. The first is a global outlook – that is, entrepreneurs should have a global vision. As mankind lives in a community of shared future, we entrepreneurs should think on such a high level. The global outlook has accompanied us for 17 years. That’s why we started study tours, to Stanford, to elsewhere in the United States, and around the world. That is a global outlook. The second is a Chinese heart. Every entrepreneur should be patriotic. The third is innovation ability. When our program was established, Wang Mengkui, the then Director of the Development Research Center of the State Council, congratulated us with an inscription "Be Innovative". It means that entrepreneurs must have passion for innovation, which inspires the ability to innovate. The fourth is the ability to practice. It involves both the practice of the state and that of enterprises. It shows an entrepreneur's competence in practice.

About the similarities and differences between the two generations of entrepreneurship, we propose to seek harmony from differences for constant growth. Speaking of the two generations of entrepreneurs, one is our generation of entrepreneurs, and the other is the new generation of young entrepreneurs. The two generations share the same entrepreneurial spirit. As for the differences, I think the president of the China Public Diplomacy Association has aptly summarized it: What we fail to do can be achieved by young people. They are masters of the keyboard, the Internet, and fashion, which may not be our strengths. Therefore, due to the differences in times, starting points, and knowledge and skills acquired, the two generations are different in their methods and tools, paths, and certainly lifestyles and preferences. I believe our generation of entrepreneurs, the elder generation, must often advise the young generation on how to grow up. We prefer to tell the young people the experience of our success and how hard we have achieved such success. However, when the students of our China Young Entrepreneur Development Program come to learn and discuss, they don't really want to hear our experience of success or how hard we had been working. They prefer to ask these questions: Have you ever failed? What is your experience of failure? Tell us your experience of failure. So, our courses in the future will cover the power of failure.

I'd like to draw your attention back to NEDP. NEDP is the China New Entrepreneur Development Program. It was initiated in 2004 by the Development Research Center of the State Council with the support of Stanford University in the United States. The program is shortened as NEDP. Former Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the CPPCC Xu Kuangdi wrote an inscription in 2004 for NEDP, saying: "Smart application is out of a devoted mind." The then Director Wang Mengkui of the Development Research Center of the State Council wrote the message "Be Innovative" as his wish for NEDP. In the past 17 years, we've had a great team of instructors. As the Development Research Center of the State Council is our academic guide, NEDP has a huge team of instructors. Since 2004, NEDP has welcomed over 300 Chinese instructors and over 100 foreign instructors. 23 percent of them are ministerial officials, and 30 percent are bureau-director level officials. Our instructors also include outstanding entrepreneurs, well-known scholars, and noted academicians. In the past 17 years, NEDP has successfully groomed more than 1,000 entrepreneurs from home and abroad in more than 30 trades. Indeed, from the Fortune 500 rankings since 2000, we can see the rise of Chinese entrepreneurs. In 2000, 13 Chinese companies entered the Fortune 500 list. This year, Chinese companies have outnumbered American companies on the Fortune 500 list. There are 133 Chinese companies on the list, and the number is 121 for the United States. Among the top 5 of the Fortune 500 list this year, three are Chinese companies – namely, Sinopec, China National Petroleum Corporation, and State Grid Corporation of China. The leaders of all three companies had studied with NEDP. We have 10 alumni associations, and our alumni are connected with more than 200 listed companies and 65 Fortune 500 companies. The companies led by our alumni generate an annual output of more than RMB20 trillion.

NEDP's plan is to forge ahead, while staying true to the original aspiration, with helping entrepreneurs cultivate the four abilities mentioned earlier. We are even more devoted to developing the China Young Entrepreneur Development Program that advocates continuance and innovation. Of course, we are still committed to the interpretation of national policies, which has always been an objective of our program. Later we will launch a program to study the development of Fortune 500 companies. We invite Fortune 500 companies and their leaders to become fellow researchers of the Development Research Center of the State Council – that is, the think tank of the State Council. The China Young Entrepreneur Development Program focuses on continuance and innovation, because we want to help young people make their way in the world, learn from past business practices, carry out in-depth learning, and meet a bright future.

Speaking of the "dual carbon" policy, the policy is a medium- and long-term strategy of China. How to ensure high-quality development with low carbon emissions is a question to be answered by both the state and the entrepreneurs. This is a question that concerns corporate operations.

The theme of my speech today is "Seek Harmony from Differences for Constant Growth". We think the most important elements of entrepreneurship are a global outlook, a Chinese heart, the ability to innovate, and the ability to practice. I firmly believe that Chinese entrepreneurs will pass on and carry forward these four elements, and that Chinese entrepreneurship will develop constantly, contributing to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
