Once upon a time, in a village, there were three close friends, one was rich, the other loved reading, and the other was a well-known scholar (like Confucius, worthy of everyone's trust). One day, they went out to sea and tried to break into another village. They sat in a boat, and the rich brought a lot of gold, silver and jewels so that they could have a better start at their destination. In order not to be lonely on the boat, the scholar brought a big bag of books, but the scholar brought nothing. On the way, it happened that there was a storm, and the owner told them to throw away their things so that they could sail better. Rich people don't want to give up their gold and silver treasures, so they instigate scholars to throw away all their books. Scholars don't want to give up their beloved books, and they want to throw away their treasures when they are rich. When the scholar met them, he said to them, "Rich men, you should think about how you started from scratch. Why don't you throw away your things? After saving your life, you can start from scratch. Besides, this is only part of your property, isn't it? Scholar, after reading so many books, everything in your book is in your mind. What do you care about your book? Knowledge is already in your stomach. " After hearing this, the rich man threw away all his belongings, and so did the scholars. After that, they reached the other side smoothly. As the scholar said, rich people started from scratch, while scholars became teachers in private schools.

16 years ago, he was about to get a degree in biology from Fudan University and dropped out of school.

Nine years ago, when he was about to receive a doctorate in genetics from Harvard University, he returned to China.

Eight years ago, he was about to be promoted to the first vice president of Sohu, and he left.

Four years ago, when 60 million yuan was about to be injected into E Long, he quit.

This is Zhang Ligang. In his life course, it was almost smooth sailing and there were countless opportunities. If he chooses any one of them, he may be the most powerful business tycoon today. But Zhang Ligang said that there is no "if" in this world. "If I follow those lines, I may be a strong person now, but everything is for a reason. Now I can only do this. I just chase my dreams and have no regrets. "

Zhang Ligang has a little girl now. He said he had only three expectations for his daughter:

First, be an independent person;

Second, be a responsible person;

The third is to be an excellent person.

"In addition, there is only one kind of hero, and that is the hero of human nature." He said seriously.
