Campus dawn
Dong Ye is a businessman. He is in the field of investment. In 2002, he was named "the most active venture capitalist" and in 2003, he was named "Top Ten Venture Capitalists" in China. Dong Ye is a technician. He has been in and out of Silicon Valley for many years. In 2003, he was named "100 person of the year in the new economy" in China. Dong Ye is an environmentalist. He focused on clean environmental protection projects and was nominated as "person of the year in 2004". In 2005, he was awarded the "Clean Technology Pioneer Award" by the International Clean Technology Investment Forum. Dong Ye is a scholar. During his five years at his alma mater, he served as the president of the four-year literary society. His blood is always full of passion and literary talent.
From 1983 to 1988, Dong Ye's identity is also multifaceted: college student, literary youth, president of student union, secretary of student party branch, and minister of propaganda department of school youth league committee. As soon as he set foot in university of international business and economics, he easily joined the Dawn Literature Society, the largest college student club in the school, and became the president when he was a sophomore. Another member of Li's organization still has a complete set of mimeographed Dawn. "Dawn" means the dawn, and this title seems to imply a harbinger of Dong Ye's future: get up at dawn, seize the opportunity and stay one step ahead. His book "We missed the last bus" was published in the issue of 1985 "Germination" magazine 1 1 month, and won the first prize of poetry creation in the first literary competition in university of international business and economics. It was widely circulated at that time, and there are still students who are catchy about his color clips.
At that time, the first department of international economic cooperation enrolled 40 students, referred to as the sixth department. This department is a "Dawn" major. The birth of this major coincides with the integration of the two departments of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation in the early days of reform and opening up. Professor Wang, then vice president, was the first dean of the cooperation department. The curriculum development is perfect, close to the forefront of national economic and trade development practice. 1994, with the implementation of the three-level management system of "school, college and department" in our school.
Five-year university, 1800 dawn, condensed Dong Ye's youth, injected him with international professional knowledge and vision, let him gallop on the stage of colorful social activities, and released his passion and ability. From 65438 to 0985, he organized and planned the whole school literature competition as the president of the department's student union, which has impressed him and his six-year-old classmates so far. Under their careful organization and operation, the Sixth Department, as a small department, won the first place in the school in the competition! Dong Ye won two awards: poetry creation and poetry reading.
The dawn of a career
Twenty years after graduating from college, Dong Ye experienced three turning points in his career: the first time, he changed from a state-owned enterprise to a foreign enterprise; The second time, I switched from working for others to starting my own investment company; The third time, focus on investing in clean and environmental protection. With the change of professional field, his work area has also changed in the past 20 years: 2 years in China, 0/0 years in the United States, and 8 years in China.
1988 After graduating from university, Dong Ye was lucky enough to join CITIC Consulting Company, which was the earliest international economic consulting company after China's reform and opening up. He was also the only graduate assigned to this company by the University of Trade.
From 65438 to 0990, he came to San Francisco at the invitation of Foster Wheeler Company and worked as a manager in several high-tech and startup companies in Silicon Valley. 10 years, he set foot in the investment field here and started his own company. The long and narrow valley city belt in western California has gathered a large number of high-tech enterprises and institutions of higher learning, and high-tech industrial parks of famous universities such as Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and Apple. In this decade, Dong Ye witnessed the ups and downs of high-tech concepts from beginning to end, accompanied by the ups and downs of some industries from dawn to sunset-the ups and downs of semiconductors, computers from "286" to "586", the enlightenment, rise and prosperity of the Internet. The magic of science and technology and the wand of economy are the closest combination and more concentrated embodiment here. This rich class excited Dong Ye, invested in his future return to China, mastered the secret of the "dawn" of his career, and accumulated a broad vision and unrepeatable practical experience.
200 1, with the dawn of the new century, Dong Ye returned to China to start a business. He first served as the president and CEO of Ren Qinghua Venture Capital Company, and established the first small-scale China Environmental Protection Fund. By 2008, his third overseas fund had reached nearly $300 million. From dawn to dawn, he has accumulated rich experience in direct investment and become one of the few venture capitalists in China with both local and overseas fund management experience. With broad vision, rich experience, and the ability to mobilize domestic and foreign resources, he helped the growth of investment enterprises and established a wide and profound network of relationships among entrepreneurs, investment peers and government departments at all levels. Under his leadership, China Environmental Fund achieved remarkable return on investment in 2004. For example, the funded enterprise CLP Photovoltaic successfully listed on Nasdaq in May 2007; Jiangxi LDK was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in June 2007. Both investments have achieved a return on investment of 4 to 5 times. He believes that there will be many projects worth investing in this field in China.
However, in the business world, Liming has never left him, and the literacy and foundation of literature have been influencing his career subtly. This influence permeates his works, and the form of expression is no longer beautiful rhyme or flowery rhetoric, but sharp tools and the accomplishment and accomplishment of doing things for people. Look at the investment report on his desk: from the quarterly investment report released for investors every quarter to an annual report, from Chinese to English, all of them are the condensation of efforts and all of them are produced on the basis of writing literacy. With a literary background, he has a better grasp of the structure of the article, more organized thinking, more professional writing, and thus more convincing.
When he was in an American company, all the letters sent by the company to the top management had to be revised and sorted out by him before they could be finally sent out. He can see the rigor of these reports and letters in words and thinking with an expert's eye. I personally wrote this kind of report at the beginning of my business, because it costs hundreds of thousands to ask a lawyer to write a fund-raising management report! Aware of the importance of writing, he has very high requirements for employees' writing ability.
It can be said that, in a sense, the first clean technology fund management company in China was born under his pen. With his rigorous and concise writing and interlocking structure, he let the audience know the core value of the emerging industry of "clean technology" at the fastest speed.
Literary temperament is often accompanied by idealism, and Dong Ye's choice of investment direction just makes his idealism have a home.
Chenxi industry
The "dawn" of shopping malls is a looming and fleeting opportunity, and people who start at dawn may become pioneers in the industry. 2 1 century, the awakening of mankind to the past is how to repair the damage caused by the economic "development" in the past century. A new environmental protection industry-cleaning industry came into being. It is called "sunrise industry", that is, "dawn" industry. In the heyday of the Internet, Dong Yeyi turned to enter one of the least concerned, not to mention the mainstream environmental protection and clean technology industries.
Dong Ye's corporate strategy is to focus on investment in environmental protection industry. Qingyun Venture Capital is also a series of environmental protection funds in China, and it is the first and the pioneer of the industry. Dong Ye was fortunate to personally initiate and promote the explosive growth of clean technology investment in China. Especially in 2008, the cold wave of financial crisis swept the world, and environmental protection investment ushered in better opportunities. But Dong Ye likes to do forward-looking things. He seized the opportunity between "cold" and "hot", 5-7 years ahead of China people. Qingyun Venture Capital has become the first brand of environmental protection investment in China.
Seize the opportunity
Dong Ye saw the great opportunity faced by the environmental protection industry: when all governments and enterprises began to use the environment to measure social development, clean technology was also undergoing a revolution, which was both a revolution in investment and a revolution in ideas. In China, a core of the so-called "revolution" is to shift from pursuing absolute GDP growth to pursuing social harmony and progress. Dong Ye said that his clean technology fund investment and fund management company is a company with triple bottom lines-pursuing economic and financial returns, maximizing environmental and social returns, and increasing employment tax, that is, achieving the unity of business objectives and social responsibilities. In the face of this big article on environmental protection investment, he is constantly injecting richer content, with action plans, warnings and experience. The worldwide environmental consequences caused by more than a century can not be repaired by the investment of several funds, and his articles must go beyond the limitations of pure business.
Dong Ye shouted all the way in the "Sunrise Car", which aroused widespread concern. He made his voice heard on many occasions: from the World Clean Technology Investment Forum and Annual Meeting organized by the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank to the Davos Forum ... He expressed his understanding of the relationship between environment and economic development. His favorite metaphor is "if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached", the economy is "hair" and the environment is "skin".
On Dong Ye's business card, there is also a line of small print: "Environmental recycled paper". This is also a kind of "propaganda", which shows that Dong Ye, as an investor in the environmental protection and clean industry, never forgets to fulfill its environmental protection obligations in daily life, and tries its best to reduce personal consumption and damage to natural resources.
Return to your alma mater again
In 2008, Dong Ye, who graduated for 20 years, returned to his alma mater and was invited to attend the graduation ceremony in 2008. As a representative of alumni, he raised hopes for new graduates. He was deeply moved and said something from the bottom of his heart:
"... in today's world of deteriorating environment, energy shortage, withered resources and global warming, the resources accumulated by the earth in 10 thousand years are only enough for human beings to use in one day, so it takes three earths to meet the existing human use. It didn't take long for us to be complacent about our reputation as "the factory of the world". Since 2008, we have become the largest emitter of carbon dioxide in the world. At this moment, facing the world and the society, I think every junior here is thinking and planning his future. Every graduate is yearning for and pursuing his own success, whether in career, love, children or family. So, what is the definition of success? Especially in the state of quick success and instant benefit, impetuous vanity, the amount of money naturally becomes a measure. But this measure will eventually make people unhappy or miserable.
conscientiousness
In my opinion, success with a sense of social responsibility is the real success. Today, we can create a new word called Social Responsibility Success (SRS). This sense of social responsibility includes respect, love, strengthening and responsibility for nature, environment, resources, country, community, company and strangers. ..... In the field of clean technology and environmental investment, we are socially responsible investors-Sri. As an official, honesty and diligence benefit the township; Be a teacher, teach and educate people; Doing business, creating employment and tax benefits, cleaning and reducing consumption, and giving back to society; Be a man, be friendly and harmonious, and help each other. Only the success with social responsibility is the real success, and the successful founder can enjoy the harvest and have a clear conscience! "
Facing the 2000 students who are about to graduate from the audience, Dong Ye wants to tell them a strong feeling after 20 years of career: pursuing success with social responsibility!
