China News Service, Beijing, September 14 (Reporter Wang Qingkai) The first generation of private entrepreneurs since China's reform and opening up are now facing the real problem of selecting "successors."

Liu Yonghao, one of China's largest private agricultural and animal husbandry groups and the founder of New Hope Group, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Agency in Beijing a few days ago that he was "very satisfied" with New Hope's "successor" Liu Chang.

　　Talking about New Hope’s "successor" and daughter Liu Chang, Liu Yonghao praised her, saying "at least 85 points."

At the end of the interview, a New Hope staff member told reporters that a lot of personal information about Liu Chang in this interview was made public for the first time. “It is usually vigorous and resolute. Today is the first time I have seen the chairman reveal his true feelings”.

　　In 1982, the four brothers Liu Yonghao planted the seeds of new hope in Sichuan and Sichuan.

Time flies, 38 years later this seed has grown into a towering tree.

It has more than 600 branches and subsidiaries in more than 30 countries and regions around the world, with more than 100,000 employees.

　　"Agriculture essentially requires long-termism. No one who wants to make short or quick money, or make a fortune in it, can really stay in the agricultural industry." Liu Yonghao said and Liu Chang proposed the "new long-termism." "I have always insisted on using the long-termist view to do agriculture, and the long-term view of raising pigs, "I am pleased with this."

　　Liu Chang previously stated at the 2020 Yabuli Forum Summer Summit that the new hope cannot just "catch a hand" because of the high price of pigs and the ability to make money. Longer-term should be considered.

We must consider raising pigs from a long-term perspective, and do agriculture from a long-term perspective.

"Our pig farms are built with a lot of technology and hardware very advanced, and they are configured in accordance with the requirements of a century-old store."

　　Liu Yonghao said that after speaking at this forum, he received text messages and phone calls from many entrepreneur friends, “They generally think that Liu Chang is very mature. Some people say that her thinking is very advanced, and some people say that she talks better than me. I am very happy."

　　"In fact, a good talk is only one aspect, and more importantly, her thinking and layout." Liu Yonghao said that the New Hope management team with Liu Chang as the core is more strategic, long-term and responsible when considering issues.

She is leading a group of people to innovate and change.

Behind her is the growth and progress of more than 2,000 New Hope middle-level and above managers who are in their 30s. She has these views and layouts, which is actually the progress of New Hope's group and system.

　　Talking about his daughter Liu Chang, Liu Yonghao rarely showed a smile during the nearly one-hour interview, and simultaneously opened the fancy praise mode.

　　Liu Yonghao said that many Chinese companies have reached the node of family inheritance. Liu Chang has done a relatively good job, and she is also quite good. I am very happy.

She is working very hard and hard now, often thinking about problems all night and can't sleep.

　　"But she is also a mother. She has a fetus of dragons and phoenixes. She is a fashion person. It is not easy for her to give up her yearning and pursuit of fashion and engage in the most practical, basic and traditional industry. "Liu Yonghao said that as a father, I hope she can balance work and life, have a more ordinary mind to face challenges and opportunities, and walk smoothly and better on the long-term path.
