梦想
各位新大陆人大家好！
今天，是我们新大陆30周年庆典，也是习近平总书记视察新大陆十周年的好日子，此时此刻，我想我的心情和大家一样充满了自豪和感慨。
感慨当年的我们，白手起家创业，一路拼搏，坚守实业，坚持创新，永不言弃，尽管我们历经了无数的挫折和失败，但我们总在风雨之后方能见彩虹。
感慨过往三十年的一路艰辛，步步惊心，一次次创新试错、一轮轮变革跨越企业生命周期；一场场危机甚至险些造成“灭顶之灾”，真可谓历经了九九八十一难。我们总是在向死而生之后凤凰涅槃。
一路走来，感恩党的改革开放政策和各级党委、政府给我们的支持和关心；感激社会各界朋友们的无私帮助，感谢我们的客户和合作伙伴们。
一路走来，感叹风雨同舟的新大陆人，我们共同创造并见证了属于自己的发展奇迹！
下面，我想谈谈我们的三个“梦想”：
第一、科技创新 实业报国
我还记得2019年11月，我应邀参加在美国得克萨斯州奥斯汀市举办的全球顶级“人工智能和未来技术”第三届峰会，来自全球500强企业的领袖以及政界、金融界、科技界、学术界精英、顶级智库专家、资深媒体人等一千多人参加了此次盛会。我有幸成为唯一被邀请的华人代表，并在大会上作了英文主旨演讲。
我演讲的题目是《开启数字时代的新纪元》-《A New Era of the Digital World》，我演讲开头部分中文的意思是：上世纪90年代初，我首次踏上美国这块土地时，眼前的一切都使我惊叹，高耸入云的摩天大楼，四通八达的高速公路、玲琅满目的超市、优美的自然环境和秩序井然的街道社区。尤其是实时通信的电子邮件结束了我们鸿雁传书的历史，凡此种种，都是我前所未见的。更令我印象深刻的是许许多多的志愿者和热情友爱的人们。让我深深体会到，为什么“美国梦”可以激励世界各地无数怀揣梦想的年轻人，让他们背井离乡来到这片土地，学习并提升自己的价值和创造未来。当时的中国，还处在改革开放的初期，向世界打开大门的时间并不长，百业待举，百废待兴，与美国相比还很落后，相距甚远。那时的我多么渴望自己的祖国也能像美国一样国富民强、国泰民安。
两年后，我们白手起家，开始创业，并把公司取名为新大陆。500年前哥伦布发现美洲新大陆，新大陆的寓意是，在一片未开垦的土地上开拓进取、创新拼搏，创造未来。
我在演讲中还说到：过去25年，中国发生了翻天覆地的变化，国民经济增长了近20倍，高铁、民航、高速公路网络四通八达，移动通信无处不在，从现金支付到卡支付、移动支付、条码支付，实实在在改变着中国人的衣食住行，人民的生活水平大大提高。
国家快速发展的过程，企业也获得了发展机会，像新大陆这样从无到有、从小到大、从弱到强的例子不胜枚举。中国奇迹般的发展壮大的过程，我们即是见证者，也是建设者。
以上是我当年在美国演讲的部分内容。当天的演讲得到了强烈的反响。
创业初期，我们把“科技创新，实业报国”作为我们的创业理念。我们还把“新大陆”定义为：神奇的土地，神奇的人，神奇的事业，神奇的未来。
30年来新大陆科技创新成果填补了许多领域的国内和国际空白，创新产品已经惠及世界130多个国家和地区。
如今，我当年在美国内心渴望的，都一一变成了现实。尤其是党的十八大以来，中国进入了新的发展阶段。如果说，30年前的中国年轻人，脑中想的是“美国梦”；那么，今天的中国人民内心追逐的是中华民族伟大复兴的“中国梦”。
第二、科技创新、追求卓越
回想10年前的今天，习总书记再次视察新大陆。总书记亲切地对我们说：“20年前，你们白手起家，当年听你们探索创业理念的场景，如今仍历历在目。20年过去了，你们发展壮大到这个地步。”“这也证明了一条，走创新之路是我们国家，也是每个企业发展的必由之路”，总书记为我们指明了前进的方向。还嘱咐我们：“希望你们为中华民族伟大复兴，为福建科学发展跨越发展，做出新的更大贡献。”
正是因为总书记的鼓励和指引，2015年初，我们开启了新一轮治理变革和数字化创新，提出“做时代的企业”， 致力于“从优秀到卓越”的跃迁。深度推进“数字化、国际化、生态化”的发展战略。10年来，我们不断探索以数字化思维和数字技术推动治理变革和创新发展。我们还助推了数字中国建设峰会召开并永久落地福州。
“科技创新，追求卓越”成为我们新一轮的发展理念。
我还记得，2019年，福建省开展了“卓越绩效企业”评选活动，当我得知新大陆评分第一、高居榜首时，我内心欣喜之余，却也充满了忐忑不安。这是为什么呢？因为我一直在思考，在这个风起云涌的大时代，到底什么样的企业才真正算得上是卓越企业呢？新大陆距离名副其实的卓越企业到底还有多远呢？
自我看来，失败的企业，往往没有度过创业期或者转型期就中途夭折；糟糕的企业，游走于灰黑地带，唯利是图，为求不义之财而残害人；平庸的企业，只关注销售利润成长，目光短浅；优秀的企业，除了良好业绩，更重要的是有优秀的团队和社会责任感；卓越的企业，关键在于卓越的领导力带领优秀的团队勇于创新发展，推动企业迈向新的高度；而要走向伟大的企业，不仅仅在于业绩和创新能力的遥遥领先、卓有成效，更在于有明确高远的使命感和价值观驱动，“以天下为己任”，推动社会进步，走向为社会、为人类的天下情怀、使命担当。
企业是大写的人，一个健全的人应有睿智的脑袋、健全的神经系统、各司其职的五脏六腑，有了这些，手脚才能大显身手。企业也才能在大时代的变迁中找到生存和跃迁之路。
当今，企业普遍面临最大的挑战在于：思想的缺失、认知的缺位、治理的失衡及思维模式的僵化。工业时代的管理是碎片化的，其核心是分工和流程，随着企业发展壮大，部门墙壁垒的信息孤岛和金字塔管理模式带来的摩尔定律的耗损和不断熵增，最终必然导致效率低下和内卷。
数字时代的治理，关键是生态化治理的思维和方法论，建立自上而下、自下而上的高效、科学、无缝连接、快速响应、上下同欲，同频共振的治理体系，才能培育更加肥沃的创新土壤，创造“人人出彩”的发展环境，这是企业治理变革的目的。
当然企业是有生命周期的，新大陆各个企业的业态和发展阶段完全不同，切不可一刀切用同一种模式管理，更不可东施效颦，全盘接受他人的管理经验。
治理变革是企业走向卓越的关键，数字时代，治理能力是第一生产力，只有构建符合时代的治理体系，才能在众多乱象中拨开迷雾，理性笃行。只有行之有效的治理能力，才能真正把企业带出困境，走向优秀、卓越乃至伟大之路，这需要一代又代人的智慧传承、努力和奉献。
第三、科技创新、造福人类
人工智能正在全面进入人类的各行各业，新一轮科技革命、工业革命，甚至社会革命呼之欲出。而这一切都和新时代的全球治理、国家治理、社会治理乃至企业治理以及每个人自身的治理息息相关。
数字化、全球化、生态化的大时代扑面而来，如何重新审视我们的思想境界、胸怀格局、价值取向、前进方向、治理模式，这是决定我们命运和未来走向的生死攸关的问题。
老地图找不到新大陆。无论是人类世界、国家、企业乃至我们个人的未来前程，在新时代，都来自于思想的力量，唯有思想之光才能照亮前方的路。选择比努力更重要，俗话说，“方向没选对，努力也白费”。新时代无论是企业还是个人核心竞争优势将体现在是否拥有“三新”：新思想、新理念、新工具。
思想是发展的灯塔。“术”和“巧智”可以解决当下问题但解决不了未来问题。任何具体的方法和技巧都必须建立在正确的思想和道德基础之上，否则只能暂时成功，不可持续。有道无术术可求，有术无道止于术。拿破仑有句名言“世上有两种力量：利剑和思想；从长而论，利剑总是败在思想手下。”
思想是创新的源泉。所有的创新都是源自于新的思想和理念。如果说过去做生意的本事是想方设法把别人口袋里的钱装进自己的口袋，那么未来最大的本事就是要如何把先进思想和创新理念装进别人的脑袋里。
治理的目标是要激发人性的善。以AI为代表的科技发展是双刃剑，一方面大大提升效能、改变人们生活，另一方面，如果内心邪恶，必然给人类带来灾难。因此，除了坚持“科技向善”和“科技向上”，更要坚持企业利他、向善、向上，这才是企业和个人长治久安、持续发展的法宝。
人生的价值不在于获取什么，而在于你能为社会、为人类贡献什么？做企业亦是如此。以往人们比拼的是利己谁更精致，那么未来的赢家是要看利他谁更纯粹。
“科技创新，造福人类”是我们新时代的宗旨和使命。
从“科技创新、实业报国”到“科技创新、追求卓越”再到“科技创新，造福人类”，这就是我们一路走来的梦想历程，承载着我们过去初心、现在的拼搏与未来的憧憬。
正如从激励个人奋斗的“美国梦”，到引领中华民族伟大复兴的“中国梦”，再到承载着全人类各个国家和每一个人美好梦想与愿望的人类命运共同体的“人类梦”，这一系列梦想不单单属于我们，更是全人类共同的期盼。
我们身处在这个伟大的时代，肩负着重大的责任与使命。让我们以新时代新思想为指引、以科技创新为动力、以造福人类为目标，在追逐梦想的大道上，绽放出绚丽多彩的生命之花。
谢谢大家！

Dreams
Today, we celebrate the 30th anniversary of Newland and the tenth anniversary of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s visit to Newland. At this moment, I believe I am as proud as every one of you. There are many thoughts on my mind.
I think of the old days when we started from scratch, worked hard and stayed committed to developing real industry and pursuing innovation. We never gave up despite all the failed attempts and we always saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
I think of the trials and tribulations and all the chastening narrow escapes. Every attempt to pursue innovation and transformation, every crisis that almost doomed us, has guided us to our metamorphosis.
Looking back, I would like to thank the CPC Committee and government at all levels for your support and care. I am grateful to friends from various sectors for your generous help. My appreciation also goes to our customers and partners.
Looking back, I am in awe of Newlanders who have created and witnessed a development miracle of our own.
In this connection, I would like to talk about our three “dreams”:
First, the dream of “Pioneering Technological Innovation, and Serving the Nation Through Industrial Endeavors”
In November 2019, I was invited to attend the 3rd Global AI and Future Tech Summit held in Texas, the US. Participants of this summit include leaders of the world’s top 500 companies, elites from politics, financial, technology and academic communities, as well as top-notch think tank experts and veteran journalists, totaling over 1000. I was honored to be the only Chinese representative invited to attend the summit and deliver an English keynote speech.
The topic of my speech was A New Era of the Digital World. In the beginning part, I said that in the early 1990s, when I first set foot in America, everything was mind-blowing: the skyscrapers of lofty heights, crisscrossed network of expressways, shops with a bumper variety of goods, beautiful environment and well-managed blocks, and in particular, the e-mail that makes real-time communication possible and marks the beginning of a new era. All these were things I had never seen before. What impressed me more was the countless volunteers and hospitable and friendly people. I came to understand why the American Dream can inspire ambitious young people worldwide to uproot and come here to learn, to enhance their value and to open up new horizons. Back then, China’s reform and opening up endeavor just got started, and its door to the world was just opened. There were so many things to be done in China. And there was such a long way to go for China to catch up with America. I really hoped that my motherland could be as prosperous and thriving as America.
Two years later, we started our own business from zero and named it Newland. 500 years ago, Columbus discovered the New World of the Americas. Newland represents the vision of tapping the potential of untilled land and creating a future through hard work and innovation.
I also mentioned in my speech that in the past 25 years, China has undergone tremendous changes. Our GDP has grown by nearly 20 times; high-speed railways, civil aviation, and express networks have become easily accessible, and mobile communication ubiquitous; means of payment has evolved from cash payment to card payment, mobile payment and barcode payment. All these have delivered tangible benefits to Chinese people’s daily life, enhancing their well-being.
Rapid national development has provided enterprises with growth opportunities. There are so many enterprises like Newland emerging and growing bigger and stronger. We are witness to and builder of China’s miraculous development.
This is what I said in the first part of my speech in America.
In the early stage of start-up, we take “Pioneer Technological Innovation, and Serve the Nation Through Industrial Endeavors” as our original aspiration and startup ideas. We also defined “Newland” as a magical land, magical people, magical cause and magical future.
Over the past three decades, our scientific and technological innovation has filled the gap in many areas in China and beyond, benefiting people in more than 130 countries and regions.
Now what I hoped for our motherland back in the US has all come true. In particular, since the 18th national congress of the CPC, China has entered a new stage of development. If young people in China were thinking about American Dream 30 years ago, then today, every Chinese shares the Chinese Dream of achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Second, the dream of “Pioneering Technological Innovation, and Pursuing Excellence”
A decade ago today, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Newland again. He said to us, “20 years ago, you started from scratch. I can still remember vividly the scene when I heard you talking about your start-up ideas. 20 years has passed, and you have come a long way.” “This is also proof that innovation is the surefire path for our country, and for every enterprise.” General Secretary pointed the way forward for us and told us, “hope you can make new and bigger contribution to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and to Fujian’s leap-frog development.”
It is because of General Secretary’s encouragement and guidance that in early 2015, we started a new round of governance transformation and digital innovation. We envisioned“Becoming An Enterprise of the Time”, strove for the rising from excellence to greatness. We have worked vigorously to advance a development strategy characterized by digitalization, going global and ecosystem building. Over the past decade, we have made continuous efforts to explore means of facilitating governance transformation and innovation-driven development through digital mindset and technologies. We also helped Fuzhou in hosting and becoming the permanent venue for the Digital China Summit. “Pioneer Technological Innovation, and Pursue Excellence” has become the new development philosophy.
I still remember that in 2019, when I was told that Newland topped the chart in a provincial program of selecting enterprises with excellent performance, I was so happy, and so nervous. Why? Because I have been contemplating that, in this changing world, what qualifies an enterprise as an excellent one and how far are we from it?
Failed enterprises can’t survive start-up or the transformation period; lousy ones get drowned in profit-seeking, showing little if any respect for rules; ordinary ones are myopic, only setting eyes on short-term sales profit growth; good ones, in addition to good performance, are equipped with sound teams; whereas excellence ones stand out for having extraordinary leadership capable of leading good teams to new heights through innovation-driven development. But for a company to become great, on top of leading performance and innovation capabilities, it should have clear and lofty missions and take impetus from its values. It should bear in mind the interests of all, promote social progress, and take it as its mission to deliver good for all.
Enterprise is like a human. A robust person should have a wise brain, a well-functioning neural system and organs. With these, one can flex his or her muscles. Likewise, with these, an enterprise can find a path to survival and thrival amid shifting circumstances.
Currently, the biggest challenge faced by many enterprise is the lack of ideas and perception, unbalanced governance and ossified mindset. In the industrial era, governance is fragmented and centers on the division of labor and procedure. As an enterprise expands, siloed departments and a pyramid-shaped governance model lead to increased entropy, making involution an inevitable corollary.
The key to governance in the digital era lies in adopting the mindset and methodology of ecosystem building and putting in place a governance model that makes all tiers well-linked and well-aligned and allows for rapid response. Such a model will create a fertile ground for innovation and an enabling environment for talent. This is the goal of corporate governance reform.
Indeed, the enterprise has a life cycle, and Newland subsidiaries vary in forms and development stages. Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach is not a choice. Nor should we pattern on others, indiscriminately drawing upon other’s management experience.
Governance reform is the key for an enterprise to become excellent. Governance capacity is the primary driving force in the digital era. Only by building a governance system that meets the needs of the time, can we stay focused on our targets. Only effective governance capacity can lead an enterprise out of the woods towards being good, excellent, and even great. This entails wisdom, efforts and contribution of generations of people.
Third, the dream of “Pioneering Technological Innovation, and Delivering Benefits for Humanity”
Artificial intelligence is asserting itself across all sectors, with a new round of technological and industrial revolution, and even social transformation around the corner. All these are closely intertwined with the governance of the world, a country, a society or even a company and an individual.
With digitalization, globalization, and ecosystem building gaining traction, how to review our philosophy, mindset, value-orientation, the direction to go forward, and governance model is an existential question bearing on our destiny and future.
You cannot find new land on an old map. The future of the world, of a country, an enterprise, or even an individual depends on the strength of our mind. Only the light of mind can light the way forward. The core competitiveness for an enterprise and individual alike in the new era includes three aspects: new thoughts, new ideas, and new tools.
Mind is the beacon of development. Technique and smartness can solve problems of the present, not of tomorrow. A right approach can get us further than techniques. Meanwhile, all methods or techniques should be premised on sound moral ground. Otherwise, any success we get would just be a flash in the pan.
Mind is the wellspring of innovation. All innovation originated from innovative minds and ideas. If the trick of trade in the past was to try to earn money from other’s pockets, then in the future, it should be inculcating advanced mindsets and innovative ideas to others.
The goal of governance is to bring out the kindness in people. Scientific and technological development represented by AI is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it can enhance efficiency and change their life; on the other hand, ill-intended attempts will beget disasters. Therefore, in addition to commitment to pursuing technological development for good and progress, enterprises should serve others and contribute to social progress. This is the winning formula for lasting security and sustainable development of an enterprise and individual. In the past, winners were those who fared better than others; in the future, winners will be those who help others fare better.
The value of life does not depend on what you get, but on what you can contribute to society and humanity. This same is true for an enterprise.
“Pioneer Technological Innovation, and Deliver Benefits for Humanity” is our purpose and mission in the new era.
From serving the nation to pursuing excellence and benefiting people, we have always been striving for scientific and technological innovation. These are our dreams along the way, embodying our aspirations in the past, at present, and in the future.
From American Dream that inspires individual to work hard, to the Chinese Dream that guides Chinese nation to the great rejuvenation, and to the Humanity Dream that carries the aspiration and hope every country and individual, these dreams belong to not only us, but also represent the shared aspiration of all humanity.
We live in a great era and shoulder great responsibility and mission. As we take new mindsets as guidance, scientific and technological innovation as momentum, and benefiting humanity as goal, let us live out a colorful life as we pursue our dreams.
Thank you.
