Inamori Kazuo: People Come To This World To Practice.

"The reason why I want to make the enterprise more and more outstanding is to let KYOCERA employees work comfortably and live a happy life.

The success of KYOCERA is also the same.

Adhere to the standards of "naive" and original

Yes

There is a unique Chinese "book bar" on the first floor of the hotel. It is elegant and quiet, and its service is light and delicate.

As a famous Japanese enterprise

In the face of this "Buddhist sage" of the Japanese Buddhist business community, we hope to see the wisdom of life in a very limited time, and choose a way of communicating with ordinary people, trying to spread the seriousness and tension in the air as much as possible.

"What is the success of your life, Mr. rice Sheng, in your opinion?"

Mr. Ina Mori lowers his head and has a mild tone. His words are not surprising: "if you want to answer in one sentence, it is as a person, and most importantly, the dream he describes in his heart must be realized in the correct way of thinking in life.

This is the most fundamental reason for my success in life. "

"Is this correct way of thinking your belief?"

"If it's faith, there may be some religious color.

Instead of using "faith" to express it, I think it can be better to use "faith".

But the word "faith" still sounds stiff, so I use "thinking mode" to express it.

"I think people's way of thinking can be roughly divided into two criteria.

One is to judge according to "gain" or "loss", the other is to judge according to "good" and "evil".

My judgment is not based on gains and losses, but on good and evil.

I think this is a correct judgement standard, and I carry out my work based on this standard.

"Good and evil", which is a "pediatrician" that leads to many people's laughing standards, but we do lose, worry and even sink in the amount of "gain and loss" that we think is mature and mature.

At this time, "avenue to Jane" is particularly loud and loud.

How did you establish such a correct thinking? In today's complex society, is it possible to judge whether it is good or evil?

"If I want to trace the source, when I was young, I began to think:" what kind of life should I follow to live my life? "

In my childhood, the education of my parents and grandparents was very simple, which is a standard of good and evil.

It can be childish, but I think this is very important in my life. I spent my life in accordance with such a simple judgement standard.

As I grow older, I also derive nourishment from the wisdom of Chinese classical culture and Buddhism, and many of the ancestors and sages of the forefathers, and some of the truths they say are also very applicable in modern times.

All life activities seek this "standard" to judge and deal with affairs.

Although such thoughts are permeated in the works of Mr. Ina Mori, it is still shocking to listen to him face-to-face.

Not to be rich, but to succeed in life.

"Have you ever made mistakes in your life? If so, how did you reflect on yourself and get out of your mistakes?"

I realized later what kind of question it was asking for a kind of person. For a long time, Mr. Ina Mori kept silent.

Is he unhappy? What is he thinking about?

He finally said: "in my company's operation, we can say that we have not made a very big mistake, involving a big mistake in the company's existence."

I can see that he gave this conclusion cautiously.

"But," he continued, "minor mistakes are there."

He refers to the production of artificial knee joints 24 years ago.

In the bioceramic product of KYOCERA, the government approved the development and production of ceramic artificial hip joint at that time, and was very successful after clinical trial.

Therefore, the product development of artificial knee joint was carried out under the suggestion of many surgeons.

But this time has not been officially approved by the government.

As a result, the company was strongly criticized by the outside world, including Japanese media and politicians, who accused companies of making production without approval, so as to make profits.

Although this matter was solved, until now, enterprises are still producing, and have achieved very good results.

But in the memory of rice Sheng, this is regarded as "a crisis and disaster for KYOCERA".

When it comes to introspection, Inamori Kazuo has had a major correction in his life.

It was not long before he started a business that several young people were dissatisfied with their treatment and demanded regular pay increases and guaranteed bonuses.

At that time, though he worked through all night negotiations for several days and nights, he was deeply touched by this matter.

From this, he has made a major adjustment of the business philosophy of the enterprise, pforming from "products that want to make use of their own technology to the world" into "the company is always the place to protect employees' lives".

When he talked to him in person, he said, "because I was influenced by Buddhism's concern for others when I was young, I didn't think of myself as a rich man when I started my business.

These young people's riots are only a stimulus, and I realize how important it is to protect their future life.

The reason why I want to make the enterprise more and more outstanding is to let KYOCERA employees work comfortably and live a happy life.

Since my business objective has changed, I can directly talk to my staff about some of my ideas.

I worked day and night, and could be strict with them.

If I were selfish, I would not have done this.

The success of KYOCERA is also brought about by the pformation of this management idea.

Never listen to the argument of "capitalists"

Inamori Kazuo has founded a company for half a century. He has experienced many times of turbulence after World War II, such as the world oil crisis, the appreciation of the Japanese yen and the "ten year silence" period of the Japanese economy.

But rice firmly and proudly said: Although there has been a sharp decline in sales in the history of the company, there has never been a loss.

Even in this financial crisis, enterprises are still profitable in 2008.

His conclusion is: in a good year, enterprises must achieve more than 10% of profits and create a high income management system. At the same time, enterprises must have enough spare time before they can overcome difficulties in the coming of bad times.

To this end, the western investment community has been critical of him, thinking that he is too conservative in capital operation and shareholder returns, and should take M & A, invest and make more money.

He never listens to the arguments of "capitalists".

He said: KYOCERA now has a reserve of about 800000000000 yen, no matter what kind of recession it will encounter, it will not shake the foundation of the enterprise very quickly.

But he will be very responsible to tell the staff: "please do not worry, even if the excellent enterprises fail in a recession, we can still survive KYOCERA.

Even if sales are zero for two years or three years, employees will still have food to eat.

We need not panic, let us calm down and continue to work hard.

The employees and trade unions of the enterprises also gave the company support in the most difficult time and asked for a pay cut voluntarily.

So, what do you do during the depression?

Reducing costs is a very important opportunity.

However, enterprises should pay more attention to the development of new technologies. "At this time, everyone is not working, so it's better to do what they wanted to do in the past."

Ina Mori said.

In the depression period, we should do one thing well, that is, the whole staff marketing.

He said that at this time, the company sent more employees from the front line to visit the customers, very humbly looking for various customers to exchange, asked, "do you have any work for us to do?" especially with customers to find their urgent problems or difficulties.

"In this way, enterprises will have business. There is no mysterious way."

Cadres first! Personality first!

With the growing of enterprises, how can the idea and style of rice Sheng be pmitted to the enterprises, so that all employees can identify with it?

The important thing is to make more cadres share the same philosophy as I do.

This is very important.

If we fail to do this, the company will not be able to develop.

"What is the most effective way to train cadres?"

Mr. Ina Mori finally smiled. "There is no shortcut. We are just paying for our down-to-earth efforts.

For example, when we work outside, we should communicate with each other, drink together, talk about life and personality together, so that we can resonate with each other.

"Of course, we will have systematic training.

Other enterprises may be very concerned about education in technology, skills and business management, but we will spend 60% to 70% of our training in philosophy.

We are very concerned about the cultivation of cadres. Companies in all parts of the world attach great importance to the study of KYOCERA philosophy.

"This kind of study is to enable more cadres to learn to distinguish good from evil and distinguish good from evil."

"Yes."

Later, the reporter went to KYOCERA Beijing office to visit Mr. Yamada Masaharu, the chief representative. He took out a thick blue pamphlet, saying that this is the working principle of KYOCERA.

The first thing to do every morning after work is to organize everyone to study for one hour, please read one of them every day and talk about your own understanding.

"Day after day, year after year, we will learn again and again."

In the past 50 years, Inamori Kazuo has created two global top 500 enterprises.

In 1983, he founded the "Sheng he school" and began to teach philosophy and business philosophy to young entrepreneurs all over the world.

At the age of 65, Ina Mori fell back to the second line of stomach cancer and practiced at home. He systematically organized his thoughts.

His correct thinking covers personality factors such as philosophy of life, attitude towards life and social ethics.

Furthermore, he gave his own summary of the success formula: success = personality idea * effort * ability.

From "Buddha" to "Humanitarianism" to "business", Ina Mori put the personality of an entrepreneur to the highest position.

This comes from his view of the universe: the universe, no matter how small the volume, is an indispensable element of the universe.

Therefore, nothing in the world is superfluous.

If there is, the balance of the universe will be destroyed.

It is obvious that all things in the universe also establish "existence" in the interrelation.

Human beings are the "universal soul" of existence. Therefore, human beings can contribute to the world and to mankind itself.

Since human existence is valuable, people come to this world to practice.

Approaching Inamori Kazuo, we do not feel the charm of wealth, but feel the charm of "personality".

What is a "gentleman"? It is nothing but a "sage".

This is the thought of great love.
