## 卷首 Editorial Intro

一九八二年的成都，一个刚刚从大学校园走出的年轻人站在人生的分岔路口。他的三个兄弟和他一样，面前摆着两条路：一条是体制内的安稳，铁饭碗、按部就班的晋升、可以预期的一生；另一条是未知的冒险，用一千元启动资金去养鹌鹑，去一个被认为又脏又累又没前途的行业里从零开始。

刘永好选择了后者。这个选择在当时看来几乎不可理解。改革开放的春风刚刚吹起，最聪明的头脑涌向贸易、涌向房地产、涌向后来被称为"风口"的一切赛道。农牧业，在所有人的认知里，是最不可能诞生伟大企业的地方。它利润微薄、周期漫长、与泥土和粪便为伍，既不够"时髦"也不够"性感"。

但刘永好在这个方向上扎了下去。此后的四十余年间，他面临过无数次类似的分岔——每一次行业周期波动，每一次风口转换，每一次资本市场的诱惑，都在考验他是否还会坚守最初的选择。饲料行业被外资巨头垄断时，他选择正面硬刚；集团规模做大后，他选择专业化拆分而非多元化扩张；民生银行的投资带来巨额回报时，他选择继续深耕农牧主业而非转向金融；女儿接棒时，他选择制度化传承而非恋栈权位。

每一个分岔路口，他都选择了那个更慢、更笨、但根基更深的方向。这种选择的累积效应，在四十年后显现出惊人的力量——新希望集团成为全球领先的农牧企业之一，打通了从饲料到养殖到食品加工的全产业链，影响了数以亿计的中国人的餐桌安全。亚洲《封面人物》杂志独立编委会在评审这份档案时认为，刘永好的价值不在于他创造了多少财富，而在于他用半个世纪的坚守重新定义了"快"的含义：在一个崇尚速度与颠覆的时代，极致的耐心本身就是最大的格局。终身档案编码永久存证这段从一千元到千亿帝国的产业史诗。

When everyone is chasing the latest trend, who would dare to take root for forty years in an industry deemed dirty and slow? China's reform and opening-up gave birth to a generation of legendary entrepreneurs—some turned to real estate, others to the internet, still others to finance, accumulating wealth explosively within decades. Yet one man chose the hardest path: in the long, low-margin, high-risk track of agriculture and animal husbandry, he started with just 1,000 yuan and step by step built one of the world's largest agribusiness empires. This is not a story about cleverness; it is a story about patience. In a business world where speed is virtue, Liu Yonghao redefined the meaning of fast through half a century of unwavering commitment: true speed means maintaining the slowest rhythm in one direction and never leaving. The answer to this proposition lies within China's grand narrative—from scarcity to abundance, from closure to openness—and in the transformation of every ordinary Chinese person's dining table, and within the long journey of a family through forty years of wind and rain. It is also hidden within the long journey of a family through forty years of wind and rain.

## 人物速览 Lead

从一千元起步到千亿帝国，刘永好用四十年证明：在风口轮转的时代，坚守一个行业才是最大的格局。他是中国农牧业的定海神针，也是第一代民营企业家中罕见的常青树。

From 1,000 yuan to a hundred-billion-yuan empire, Liu Yonghao proved over forty years that in an era of shifting trends, staying committed to a single industry is the greatest vision. He is the bedrock of China's agriculture and animal husbandry, and a rare evergreen among the first generation of private entrepreneurs.

### 1. 一千元的赌注：从铁饭碗到阳台养殖场 / The 1,000-Yuan Bet: From Iron Rice Bowl to Balcony Farm

1982年的中国，改革开放的春风刚刚吹拂到四川盆地的边缘。31岁的刘永好站在人生的十字路口：一边是四川省机械工业管理干部学校稳定的教师岗位，铁饭碗意味着安全、体面和可预见的一生；另一边是一个模糊的、充满不确定性的创业梦想。他选择了后者。这个选择的起点，是1980年春节期间二哥刘永行的一个地摊。那个春节，刘永行在马路边摆了七天修理电视机和收音机的地摊，赚了300元——相当于兄弟四人十个月的工资总和。这笔意外之财像一把钥匙，打开了刘氏兄弟心中紧闭的创业之门。他们很快组装出中国第一台国产音响新意音响，满怀信心地找到公社要求合作建厂。然而，公社书记的一句话浇灭了所有热情：集体企业怎么能和私人合作？那就是走资本主义道路！第一次创业还未开始便夭折了。但刘永好没有放弃。1982年10月，他和三位兄长——刘永言、刘永行、刘永美——在成都市新津县创办了育新良种场。没有银行贷款，向银行申请1000元贷款被拒后，四兄弟变卖了手表、自行车等全部家当，凑齐了1000元启动资金。没有孵化箱，他们到货摊上收购废钢材自己动手做；建厂房缺砖，刘永好从成都买回一拖拉机旧砖；道路狭窄拖拉机进不了村，他和几个农民兄弟手抱肩扛，硬是把砖一块块运进了村。他们在自家阳台上搭起简易棚子，从养鹌鹑起步。四个受过高等教育的大学生搞养殖，这在当时的新津县是一件轰动性的新闻。乡亲们私下议论：这几个读书人怕不是疯了吧？但刘永好从不在意外界的评判标准，他的心里始终只有一个念头：多做点事，让家人过得好一点，让这个国家多一点好东西。到1983年底，育新良种场已经孵化小鸡5万只、鹌鹑1万只，带出了11个专业户，在当地已是小有名气。这一年，他们用赚来的钱买了台14英寸的彩电，让乡亲邻里羡慕不已。从铁饭碗到阳台养殖场，刘永好迈出了人生中最关键的一步。这一步，没有任何光环，只有一千元、四兄弟和一个朴素的愿望。但正是这一步，为中国农牧业最漫长的一段旅程埋下了种子。

**English:** In 1982, the spring breeze of China's reform and opening-up had just reached the edges of the Sichuan Basin. At the crossroads of life, 31-year-old Liu Yonghao faced two paths: on one side, a stable teaching position at the Sichuan Provincial Machinery Industry Management Cadre School—an 'iron rice bowl' guaranteeing security, respectability, and a predictable life; on the other, a vague and uncertain entrepreneurial dream. He chose the latter. The starting point of this choice was a street stall set up by his second brother Liu Yongxing during the Spring Festival of 1980. Over seven days, Liu Yongxing earned 300 yuan repairing TVs and radios—equivalent to ten months of combined wages for all four brothers. This unexpected windfall unlocked the entrepreneurial aspirations dormant in the Liu family. They quickly assembled China's first domestically produced audio system, the 'Xinyi Audio,' and eagerly approached the commune to establish a factory. However, the commune secretary's words extinguished their enthusiasm: 'How can a collective enterprise cooperate with private individuals? That is the road of capitalism!' Their first venture died before it was born. But Liu Yonghao did not give up. In October 1982, he and his three brothers—Liu Yongyan, Liu Yongxing, and Liu Yongmei—founded the 'Yuxin Liangzhong Farm' in Xinjin County, Chengdu. Denied a 1,000-yuan bank loan, the four brothers sold their watches, bicycles, and all valuables to raise 1,000 yuan in startup capital. Without incubators, they collected scrap steel from market stalls and built their own. Short of bricks for the farm, Liu Yonghao brought back a tractor-load of used bricks from Chengdu. When the road was too narrow for vehicles, he and fellow farmers carried the bricks on their shoulders, piece by piece. They built a simple shed on their balcony and began raising quails. Four college-educated young men engaging in animal farming became sensational news in Xinjin County. But Liu Yonghao paid no attention to others' gazes. He had only one thought: do more, and give the family a better life. By the end of 1983, the farm had hatched 50,000 chicks and 10,000 quails, nurturing 11 specialized farming households, gaining local recognition. That year, they bought a 14-inch color TV with their earnings, the envy of neighbors. From the iron rice bowl to the balcony farm, Liu Yonghao took the most crucial step of his life—a step without any glory, just 1,000 yuan, four brothers, and a simple wish. Yet this step planted the seed for the longest journey in China's agricultural history.

### 2. 鹌鹑帝国：用科学养殖打穿一个行业 / The Quail Empire: Penetrating an Industry with Scientific Farming

刘永好兄弟做养殖，从一开始就走了一条与传统农民截然不同的路。他们不是简单地喂饲料、等产出，而是将各自的专业知识融入养殖实践：学计算机的大哥刘永言用电子计算机调配饲料配方和育种选样；学机械的刘永好负责设备改造和工艺优化；擅长修理家用电器的二哥刘永行维护孵化设备；老三刘永美负责日常饲养管理。四个人的组合，让育新良种场从诞生的第一天起就带有科技基因。他们摸索出一条经济实用的生态循环饲养法：用鹌鹑粪养猪、猪粪养鱼、鱼粪养鹌鹑，形成闭环。这个方法的效果惊人——鹌鹑蛋的成本被降低到和鸡蛋差不多，在市场上形成了碾压性的价格优势。1984年，一场突如其来的打击差点摧毁了整个事业。资阳县一个专业户下了10万只小鸡的大订单，兄弟几人东拼西凑购买了种蛋进行孵化。然而，刚孵出2万只小鸡交给对方，就传来噩耗：专业户运输途中小鸡一半闷死、一半烧死，倾家荡产后人跑了。追款无门，巨额债务压顶。关键时刻，大哥刘永言说了一句话：我们一定要坚持下去！他们重新站了起来，不断扩大规模。到1986年，育新良种场的鹌鹑年产量达到15万只，带动新津县三分之一的农户养鹌鹑，全县鹌鹑养殖高峰时达到1000万只，规模超过号称世界鹌鹑大国的德国、法国和日本。刘永好先在成都青石桥开了一个鹌鹑蛋批发部，后来又在东风农贸市场开店，成都成为了全国鹌鹑蛋的批发中心。鹌鹑蛋不仅销售到全国各地，还远销海外。四兄弟正式将养殖场更名为希望。他们靠鹌鹑赚到了第一桶金——1000万元。从1000元到1000万元，只用了四年。更重要的是，通过鹌鹑养殖，刘永好完成了三件关键的事情：第一，掌握了规模化养殖的核心技术和管理经验；第二，建立了覆盖全国的销售网络；第三，锤炼了面对逆境绝不退缩的意志。世界鹌鹑大王的称号，是刘永好获得的第一个行业头衔。它代表着一种能力：在一个看似平凡的领域，用科学方法和极致专注做到世界第一。这种能力的内核，将在日后被复制到饲料、养殖、食品等更大的赛道上。

**English:** From the very beginning, the Liu brothers approached farming differently from traditional farmers. They did not simply feed animals and wait for output—they integrated their professional expertise into farming practices. The eldest brother Liu Yongyan, trained in computer science, used electronic computers to optimize feed formulas and breeding selection. Liu Yonghao, trained in mechanics, handled equipment modification and process optimization. The second brother Liu Yongxing, skilled in repairing household electronics, maintained incubation equipment. The third brother Liu Yongmei managed daily feeding operations. This combination gave the Yuxin Farm a technology gene from its birth. They developed a practical ecological cycle farming method: using quail manure to feed pigs, pig manure to feed fish, and fish manure to feed quails, creating a closed loop. The results were astonishing—quail egg production costs dropped to nearly the same level as chicken eggs, creating overwhelming price advantages in the market. In 1984, a sudden blow nearly destroyed the entire enterprise. A specialized farmer from Ziyang County placed a large order for 100,000 chicks. The brothers pooled resources to purchase breeding eggs and hatched them. However, after delivering 20,000 chicks, devastating news arrived: half the chicks suffocated during transport, half burned in a fire, and the farmer, bankrupt, fled. Unable to recover funds and facing massive debts, the situation was dire. At this critical moment, eldest brother Liu Yongyan said: 'We must persist!' They rose again and continued expanding. By 1986, the farm produced 150,000 quails annually, driving one-third of Xinjin County's farming households to raise quails. At peak, the county raised 10 million quails—more than Germany, France, and Japan, the so-called quail powers. Liu Yonghao first opened a quail egg wholesale department at Qingshi Bridge in Chengdu, then another at Dongfeng Market, making Chengdu the national quail egg wholesale center. Quail eggs were sold nationwide and exported overseas. The four brothers officially renamed their farm 'Hope.' They earned their first fortune through quails—10 million yuan. From 1,000 yuan to 10 million yuan in just four years. More importantly, through quail farming, Liu Yonghao accomplished three critical things: first, mastering core technology and management experience for large-scale farming; second, building a nationwide sales network; third, forging an indomitable will in the face of adversity. The title of 'World Quail King' was Liu Yonghao's first industry designation. It represents a capability: using scientific methods and ultimate focus to achieve world leadership in an apparently ordinary field. The core of this capability would later be replicated across larger tracks—feed, farming, and food.

### 3. 希望一号：正面血拼外资饲料巨头 / Hope No.1: Head-on Battle Against Foreign Feed Giants

1987年，刘永好出差到广州，偶然看到很多人排长队购买泰国正大集团的颗粒饲料。这个场景深深触动了他：为什么中国人养中国的猪，却要排队买外国人的饲料？当时，外资饲料企业凭借技术优势和品牌效应，几乎垄断了中国的饲料市场，尤其是利润最丰厚的乳猪饲料领域。国内养殖户被迫接受高昂的价格，利润空间被严重压缩。刘永好敏锐地捕捉到了这个痛点。他做了一个大胆的决定：放弃已经做到全国第一的鹌鹑养殖，转而进军饲料行业，与正大集团正面竞争。这个决定在内部引起了巨大争议——鹌鹑生意正做得风生水起，为什么要去一个完全陌生的领域冒险？但刘永好看到了更深层的逻辑：鹌鹑市场空间有限，而饲料是每一个养殖户都需要的基础产品，是一个真正的大市场。1987年，四兄弟在古家村购买了10亩地，投资400万元建立了希望科学技术研究所和饲料厂，聘请了国内外一批专家，潜心研制国产乳猪饲料。他们反复试验配方，甚至蹲在猪圈旁观察小猪的生长反应。经过将近一年的研发，1989年，希望牌1号乳猪全价颗粒饲料成功推出。这是中国第一个拥有自主知识产权的饲料配方，品质比肩进口产品，价格却每吨低60元。为了打开市场，刘永好展现了惊人的营销天赋。他租了一台刻印机，印制了大量小广告——养猪希望富，希望来帮助；吃一斤长一斤，希望牌奶猪饲料就是精——亲自贴进了每家每户的猪圈。这些刷在农村房屋上的黄底红字广告，后来成了川西农村的一道标志性风景。效果立竿见影。仅用了三个月，希望牌饲料的销量就追上了在成都市场占据主导地位的正大集团。两年后，产量飙升至25万吨，彻底打破了外资在乳猪饲料领域的垄断。前来进货的汽车在工厂门口排起长龙，人多得不得了，最后把我们的仓库门都挤坏了。刘永好回忆说。这场胜利的意义远超一个产品的成功。它证明了中国人完全有能力自主研发高品质饲料，也证明了刘永好不仅是一个出色的养殖专家，更是一个具有战略眼光的市场竞争者。从鹌鹑到饲料，他完成了第一次关键跃迁——从一个小行业的大王，变成了一个大赛道的挑战者。

**English:** In 1987, during a business trip to Guangzhou, Liu Yonghao happened to see long queues of people purchasing pellet feed from Thailand's Charoen Pokphand Group. This scene deeply moved him: why should Chinese farmers raising Chinese pigs have to queue to buy foreign feed? At the time, foreign feed companies leveraging technological advantages and brand power had virtually monopolized China's feed market, especially the most profitable segment—suckling pig feed. Domestic farmers were forced to accept high prices, severely compressing their profit margins. Liu Yonghao keenly identified this pain point and made a bold decision: abandon the already dominant quail business and pivot to the feed industry, competing head-on with CP Group. This decision sparked fierce internal debate—the quail business was thriving, so why risk entering a completely unfamiliar field? But Liu Yonghao saw deeper logic: the quail market had limited space, while feed was a fundamental product needed by every farmer—a truly massive market. In 1987, the four brothers purchased 10 mu of land in Gujia Village, invested 4 million yuan to establish the Hope Science and Technology Research Institute and a feed factory, recruited domestic and international experts, and devoted themselves to developing domestic suckling pig feed. They repeatedly tested formulas, even crouching beside pig pens to observe piglets' growth responses. After nearly a year of research, in 1989, Hope Brand No. 1 suckling pig all-purpose pellet feed was successfully launched. It was China's first feed formula with independent intellectual property rights, matching imported product quality while being 60 yuan cheaper per ton. To capture the market, Liu Yonghao displayed extraordinary marketing talent. He rented a printing machine and produced numerous small advertisements—'To get rich raising pigs, Hope will help you' and 'One jin in, one jin grown—Hope piglet feed delivers'—personally pasting them into every household's pig pen. These yellow-background, red-text advertisements painted on rural walls became an iconic feature of western Sichuan's countryside. The results were immediate. In just three months, Hope feed sales caught up with CP Group's dominant position in the Chengdu market. Two years later, production surged to 250,000 tons, completely breaking the foreign monopoly in suckling pig feed. 'Trucks queuing for supplies lined up at the factory gate, so crowded they broke our warehouse doors,' Liu Yonghao recalled. This victory's significance extended far beyond a single product. It proved that Chinese companies could independently develop high-quality feed, and that Liu Yonghao was not just an excellent farming expert but a strategic market competitor. From quails to feed, he completed his first critical leap—from king of a small industry to challenger of a major track.

### 4. 希望集团与中国第一家私营企业集团的诞生 / Hope Group and the Birth of China's First Private Enterprise Group

1990年，姓社还是姓资的争论再次席卷中国。对于刘永好来说，这是一段刻骨铭心的记忆。新希望的经营受到了巨大冲击——以前好办的事突然都不好办了，粮食指标拿不到，工人招不到，连买东西都被人指责是投机倒把。到处都说你走资本主义道路，我们想是不是国家不允许做民营企业了？刘永好回忆说。他和三哥一起找到县委书记，忐忑不安地汇报情况。县委书记沉思半天，说了一句话：你们低调，悄悄地干。就是这句含糊但善意的话，让刘永好兄弟几人选择了坚持。他们悄悄地、低调地坚持了下来。这一坚持，就等到了1992年的春天。邓小平南巡，发展才是硬道理重新成为共识。刘永好的世界瞬间豁然开朗。从1993年开始，我们进入了全国布局的阶段，兼并收购了30多家企业，有民企也有国企。他回忆说。1992年，在希望饲料公司的基础上，中国第一个经国家工商局批准的私营企业集团——希望集团正式成立。1993年，刘永好作为第一批民营企业家出身的全国政协委员，在人民大会堂作了题为《私营企业有希望》的大会发言。标题刚念出来，台下就爆发出热烈掌声。同年，他与41位政协委员共同提案，倡议成立一家主要由民营企业投资、主要为民营企业服务的银行。这一提案直接催生了1996年中国民生银行的成立。1995年，随着企业规模扩大和兄弟几人经营理念的分歧，刘氏四兄弟做出了一个在中国商业史上堪称典范的决定：和平分家。资产平均分配，各自发展——老大刘永言创立大陆希望公司，老二刘永行成立东方希望公司，老三刘永美建立华西希望公司，老四刘永好成立南方希望集团（新希望集团的前身）。没有争吵，没有诉讼，没有狗血。在中国民营企业家家族分家的历史中，刘氏兄弟的方式堪称教科书级别的典范。分家后的刘永好，带着南方希望集团踏上了新的征程。1996年，他正式组建新希望集团；1997年，更名为四川新希望集团公司。新希望在1995年便已成为销售收入20亿元的大型民营企业，位列四川省最大规模民营企业十强第一位、中国饲料百强第一位。从一个阳台上的鹌鹑养殖场，到全中国领先的私营企业集团，刘永好用了十三年。

**English:** In 1990, the debate over socialism versus capitalism swept across China once again. For Liu Yonghao, this was an indelible memory. New Hope's operations were severely impacted—previously routine matters suddenly became impossible. Grain quotas could not be obtained, workers would not come, even purchasing supplies drew accusations of speculation. 'Everywhere they said we were taking the capitalist road. We wondered if the state no longer allowed private enterprise,' Liu Yonghao recalled. He and his third brother went to see the county party secretary, reporting anxiously. The secretary pondered for a long time and said: 'Keep a low profile, work quietly.' This ambiguous but well-meaning statement led the Liu brothers to persist. They persisted quietly and with a low profile. And persistence brought the spring of 1992. Deng Xiaoping's Southern Tour restored development as the hard truth. Liu Yonghao's world suddenly opened wide. 'Starting from 1993, we entered the phase of national expansion, acquiring over 30 enterprises—both private and state-owned,' he recalled. In 1992, based on Hope Feed Company, China's first state-approved private enterprise group—Hope Group—was formally established. In 1993, as one of the first private entrepreneurs to become a CPPCC member, Liu Yonghao delivered a speech titled Private Enterprises Have Hope at the Great Hall of the People. As soon as the title was read, warm applause erupted from the audience. That same year, he and 41 CPPCC members jointly proposed establishing a bank primarily invested by and serving private enterprises. This proposal directly led to the founding of China Minsheng Bank in 1996. In 1995, as the enterprise grew and the brothers' business philosophies diverged, the four Liu brothers made a decision that became exemplary in Chinese business history: an amicable division. Assets were equally divided, each pursuing independent development—the eldest Liu Yongyan founded Continent Hope, the second Liu Yongxing established Eastern Hope, the third Liu Yongmei created Huaxi Hope, and the fourth Liu Yonghao formed Southern Hope Group (the predecessor of New Hope Group). No disputes, no lawsuits, no drama. Among the history of private enterprise family divisions in China, the Liu brothers' separation stands as a textbook example. After the division, Liu Yonghao embarked on a new journey with Southern Hope Group. In 1996, he formally established New Hope Group; in 1997, it was renamed Sichuan New Hope Group Corporation. With advanced technology, product quality, and innovative marketing, New Hope became a large enterprise with 2 billion yuan in revenue by 1995, ranking first among Sichuan's top ten largest private enterprises and first among China's top 100 feed companies. From a balcony quail farm to China's largest private enterprise group—it took Liu Yonghao thirteen years.

### 5. 从饲料到全产业链：一条打通上下游的农牧长城 / From Feed to Full Chain: An Agricultural Great Wall

1998年，新希望农业股份有限公司在深圳证券交易所成功上市，成为中国内地第一家以农业为主体的上市公司。这是一个重要的里程碑，但刘永好的野心远不止于此。他深知，仅靠饲料一个环节，企业永远无法掌握主动权。我们从做饲料开始，一步步往上下游走。这不仅是为了做大，更是为了做稳。产业链通了，抗风险能力才强。刘永好说。从2000年代初开始，新希望开启了全产业链布局的战略征程。在下游，新希望进军乳制品加工行业，2001年签约收购11家乳业公司，快速建立起覆盖全国的乳品网络；在养殖端，大规模布局生猪繁育和畜禽养殖；在终端，建设肉食品加工体系，打通从育种、饲料、养殖、屠宰到食品终端的完整链条。2005年是新希望发展历程中的关键一年。这一年，新希望与山东六和集团强强联合。合并后，饲料年产能超过1000万吨，居中国第一位；年家禽屠宰加工能力达10亿只，位居世界第一。新希望从一家饲料企业，蜕变为中国领先的农牧业综合集团。但刘永好的布局并未止步。他先后将触角延伸到金融、房地产、化工等领域。1996年，入股中国民生银行，成为其第一大股东，持股比例达9.99%；2014年，与小米等合作成立新网银行，成为中国第三家互联网银行；在化工领域，与IFC合资成立华融化工，填补国内高品质氢氧化钾产业空白，后来其产品进入了半导体级高纯化学品领域。然而，无论业务版图如何扩展，刘永好始终坚持一个原则：80%以上的资源聚焦农牧主业。房地产可以做，但农业永远是根。过去的四十年，我始终在农业领域创新创业，永远不要忘记自己的出身，企业将永远是农字号。这种战略定力，在中国民营企业家中极为罕见。当无数企业因多元化而迷失方向、因追逐房地产暴利而荒废主业时，新希望始终牢牢扎根在农牧业的土地上。全产业链布局让新希望形成了独特的反脆弱结构：饲料业务提供稳定现金流，养殖业务在周期高点贡献超额利润，食品加工在终端创造品牌溢价，金融投资提供资本回报。各板块之间形成互补和对冲，使企业能够穿越一个又一个行业周期。2021年，新希望营收突破2000亿元，首次跻身《财富》世界500强。从一千元到两千亿，这条路走了三十九年。

**English:** In 1998, New Hope Agriculture Co., Ltd. was successfully listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, becoming the first agriculture-focused listed company in mainland China. This was a significant milestone, but Liu Yonghao's ambitions extended far beyond. He understood deeply that relying solely on feed would never give the enterprise initiative. 'We started with feed, gradually expanding upstream and downstream. This is not just about growing bigger—it is about growing more stable. Only when the entire chain is connected can risk resistance be strong,' Liu Yonghao said. From the early 2000s, New Hope embarked on a strategic journey of full-chain positioning. Downstream, New Hope entered dairy processing, signing agreements to acquire 11 dairy companies in 2001, rapidly establishing a nationwide dairy network. On the farming side, it deployed large-scale pig breeding and livestock operations. At the consumer end, it built meat processing systems, connecting the complete chain from breeding, feed, farming, slaughtering to food retail. 2005 was a pivotal year. New Hope joined forces with Shandong Liuhe Group. After the merger, annual feed production capacity exceeded 10 million tons—first in China; annual poultry slaughtering capacity reached 1 billion birds—first in the world. New Hope transformed from a feed company into China's largest comprehensive agribusiness group. But Liu Yonghao's expansion did not stop. He extended into finance, real estate, and chemicals. In 1996, he invested in China Minsheng Bank, becoming its largest shareholder with 9.99% stake. In 2014, partnering with Xiaomi and others, he established XW Bank, China's third internet bank. In chemicals, he co-founded Huarong Chemical with IFC, filling a domestic gap in high-quality potassium hydroxide, later expanding into semiconductor-grade high-purity chemicals. However, no matter how the business scope expanded, Liu Yonghao always maintained one principle: over 80% of resources focused on core agribusiness. Real estate could be done, but agriculture would always be the root. 'For the past forty years, I have always innovated in agriculture. Never forget your origins—the enterprise will always carry the agricultural label.' This strategic discipline is extremely rare among Chinese private entrepreneurs. While countless enterprises lost direction through excessive diversification or abandoned core businesses chasing real estate profits, New Hope remained firmly rooted in agricultural land. Full-chain positioning gave New Hope a unique anti-fragile structure: feed business provided stable cash flow; farming operations contributed excess profits at cycle peaks; food processing created brand premiums at the consumer end; financial investments delivered capital returns. The sectors complemented and hedged each other, enabling the enterprise to traverse industry cycle after cycle. In 2021, New Hope revenue exceeded 200 billion yuan, entering the Fortune Global 500 for the first time. From 1,000 yuan to 200 billion—the journey took thirty-nine years.

### 6. 民生银行：一个银行梦与一个时代的金融实验 / Minsheng Bank: A Banking Dream and a Financial Experiment

在刘永好的商业版图中，民生银行是一个特殊的存在。它的诞生源于一个朴素的初心：1982年创业时，刘永好向银行申请1000元贷款被拒，由此埋下了我以后也要办家银行的种子。这个看似赌气的话，在十一年后变成了现实。1993年，刘永好首次以全国政协委员身份参加两会。在工商联小组讨论会上，他提出了一个大胆的想法：成立一家主要由民营企业投资、主要为民营企业服务的商业银行。这个提案获得了全国工商联的支持，得到了41位政协委员的联署。在那个国有银行一统天下的年代，这是一个石破天惊的提议。经过三年的筹备，1996年1月12日，中国民生银行在北京正式挂牌。经叔平任董事长，刘永好为副董事长。这是中国第一家主要由民营企业发起设立的全国性股份制商业银行，被视为中国金融体制改革的标志性事件。民生银行从注册资本13.8亿元、净利润1.5亿元起步，在刘永好等民营企业家的推动下，经历了引进海外战略投资者、A股和H股上市、改革董事会治理等一系列变革，逐步成长为总资产近6万亿元、净利润近500亿元的全国性商业银行。刘永好家族一直是民生银行最坚定的投资者。1999年起，他用一年时间、动用1.86亿元收购股份，使持股量达到1.38亿股，成为占股9.99%的第一大股东，并保持了二十余年的大股东地位。入股民生银行打开了刘永好的金融视野。1997年，他在集团成立金融部，投资民生保险、联华信托，成为第一家进入信托行业的民营企业；随后成立新希望投资公司，投资了双鹤药业、深圳燃气、科伦药业等多个优质项目。2014年后，他又推动成立新网银行，与小米、红旗连锁合作，切入互联网金融领域，服务被传统银行忽视的80%的小微企业和普通人群。刘永好的金融布局，始终遵循着一条清晰的逻辑线：不是为金融而金融，而是为实体经济服务。民生银行解决民营企业贷款难，新网银行解决小微企业融资难，每一个金融布局都对应着实业界的一个真实痛点。这种实业家的金融思维，让他在资本市场上的每一步都走得既大胆又稳健。厉以宁曾评价刘永好：他在战略投资方面的判断力很强，这从他没有大的战略失误上能看出来。这句话用在金融布局上尤为贴切。

**English:** In Liu Yonghao's business universe, Minsheng Bank holds a special place. Its origin traces to a simple frustration: when starting his business in 1982, Liu Yonghao was denied a 1,000-yuan bank loan, planting the seed of 'someday I will start my own bank.' This seemingly impulsive remark became reality eleven years later. In 1993, attending the CPPCC as a member for the first time, Liu Yonghao proposed a bold idea: establish a bank primarily invested by and serving private enterprises. The proposal gained support from the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and 41 CPPCC members' co-signatures. In an era when state-owned banks dominated, this was a groundbreaking proposal. After three years of preparation, on January 12, 1996, China Minsheng Bank officially opened in Beijing. Jing Shuping served as chairman, Liu Yonghao as vice-chairman. It was China's first national joint-stock commercial bank primarily initiated by private enterprises, a landmark event in China's financial reform. Starting with 1.38 billion yuan in registered capital and 150 million yuan in net profit, under the guidance of Liu Yonghao and fellow private entrepreneurs, Minsheng Bank underwent a series of transformations—introducing overseas strategic investors, listing on A-share and H-share markets, reforming board governance—and grew into a national commercial bank with nearly 6 trillion yuan in total assets and 50 billion yuan in net profit. The Liu family remained Minsheng Bank's most steadfast investor. From 1999, over one year, he spent 186 million yuan acquiring shares, reaching 138 million shares, becoming the largest shareholder with 9.99% stake—a position maintained for over twenty years. Investing in Minsheng Bank opened Liu Yonghao's financial vision. In 1997, he established a financial department within the group, investing in Minsheng Insurance and Lianhua Trust, becoming the first private enterprise to enter the trust industry. He then founded New Hope Investment Company, investing in Shuanghe Pharmaceutical, Shenzhen Gas, Kelun Pharmaceutical, and other quality projects. After 2014, he promoted the establishment of XW Bank, partnering with Xiaomi and Hongqi Chain Store to enter internet finance, serving the 80% of small and micro enterprises and ordinary people ignored by traditional banks. Liu Yonghao's financial layout always followed a clear logic: not finance for finance's sake, but serving the real economy. Minsheng Bank solved private enterprise lending difficulties; XW Bank solved small business financing challenges. Each financial move corresponded to a real pain point in the industrial world. This industrialist's financial thinking ensured every capital market step was both bold and steady. Li Yining once commented on Liu Yonghao: 'His strategic investment judgment is very strong—as evidenced by his lack of major strategic mistakes.' This assessment fits his financial strategy particularly well.

### 7. 传承之道：刘畅接班与新一代的变革 / The Art of Succession: Liu Chang Takes the Helm

在中国民营企业家中，刘永好是企业传承问题解决得最好的代表之一。2013年5月，62岁的刘永好做出了一个比许多同辈企业家更早的决定：让33岁的女儿刘畅接棒新希望六和上市公司董事长。在当时的中国商业界，富二代接班几乎是一个带有贬义的词汇。外界充满了质疑：一个在海外求学归来、在基层轮岗不过数年的年轻女孩，能否驾驭这家营收超千亿的农业巨轮？刘永好的布局远比外界看到的更加深远。他不是简单地把权杖交给女儿，而是设计了一套精密的传承机制。他邀请了著名管理学者陈春花以联席董事长兼CEO的身份加入，用三年时间帮助刘畅度过转型期。传承不是传给一个人、两个人，不是单单传给自己的儿女，更要传给一帮年轻人。刘永好说。这种传承理念，超越了简单的家族权力交接，更接近于一种组织能力的延续。2016年，陈春花卸任，刘畅开始独立执掌新希望六和。她展现出了令父亲和业界都刮目相看的能力。刘畅临危受命之时，正值国内饲料产能严重过剩、行业增长乏力的低谷期。2012年，新希望接连遭遇速升鸡事件、禽流感等一系列冲击，净利润下降超过35%。刘畅决定带领公司走产业链一体化发展的道路，将业务从饲料延伸到生猪养殖、屠宰加工、深加工等下游环节。2019年，非洲猪瘟蔓延，猪价创历史新高，新希望当年实现净利润50.42亿元，同比增长195.78%，创下历史最高纪录。2020年9月，新希望总市值达到1800亿元的历史新高。刘畅被业内评为中国接班最成功的企二代之一。但传承之路并非一帆风顺。2021年起，猪周期急转直下，新希望陷入巨额亏损，2021年至2023年三年累计亏损超过135亿元。刘畅在2023年9月的全员信中坦言：新希望处在一个前所未有的困难环境。这场凛冬之战，即是生存之战。面对危机，刘永好没有退缩到幕后垂帘听政，而是以创始人的身份给予女儿坚定的支持，同时鼓励她绝不躺平，更不焦虑，把困难期作为磨刀期。新希望六和通过一系列瘦身举措——出售非主业资产、降本增效、优化负债结构——逐步走出困境，2024年实现扭亏为盈。这段经历证明，刘永好的传承不仅是权力的交接，更是韧性的传递。他教会了下一代一个最重要的道理：企业的价值不在于顺境中走多快，而在于逆境中能否站住脚。

**English:** Among Chinese private entrepreneurs, Liu Yonghao is one of those who best resolved the enterprise succession challenge. In May 2013, at age 62, he made a decision earlier than most of his peers: let his 33-year-old daughter Liu Chang take over as chairwoman of New Hope Liuhe, the listed company. In China's business world at the time, second-generation succession was almost a pejorative term. Doubts abounded: could a young woman who had studied abroad and rotated through only a few years of grassroots positions steer a thousand-billion-revenue agricultural giant? Liu Yonghao's planning was far deeper than outsiders realized. He did not simply hand over the scepter to his daughter—he designed an elaborate succession mechanism. He invited renowned management scholar Chen Chunhua to join as co-chairwoman and CEO, spending three years helping Liu Chang through the transition. 'Succession is not about passing to one or two people, not just to your children—it must be passed to a group of young people,' Liu Yonghao said. This succession philosophy transcended simple family power transfer, approaching something closer to the continuation of organizational capability. In 2016, Chen Chunhua stepped down, and Liu Chang began independently leading New Hope Liuhe. She demonstrated abilities that impressed both her father and the industry. When Liu Chang took the helm, the domestic feed industry faced severe overcapacity and sluggish growth. In 2012, New Hope suffered a series of blows—avian flu and other crises—causing net profit to drop over 35%. Liu Chang decided to lead the company toward integrated industrial chain development, extending from feed into pig farming, slaughtering, and deep processing. In 2019, African swine fever drove pork prices to historic highs. New Hope achieved net profit of 5.042 billion yuan, up 195.78% year-on-year—a historical record. By September 2020, New Hope's total market value peaked at 180 billion yuan. Liu Chang was rated as one of China's most successful second-generation successors. But the succession path was not smooth. From 2021, the pig cycle took a sharp downturn. New Hope plunged into massive losses—cumulative losses exceeding 13.5 billion yuan from 2021 to 2023. In a September 2023 all-staff letter, Liu Chang frankly stated: 'New Hope faces an unprecedentedly difficult environment. This winter battle is a survival battle.' Facing the crisis, Liu Yonghao did not retreat behind the curtain to rule from the shadows. Instead, as founder, he gave his daughter steadfast support while encouraging her to 'never lie flat, never be anxious—use the difficult period as a sharpening period.' Through a series of slimming measures—selling non-core assets, reducing costs, optimizing debt structure—New Hope Liuhe gradually recovered, achieving profitability in 2024. This experience proved that Liu Yonghao's succession transferred not just power but resilience. He taught the next generation the most important lesson: an enterprise's value lies not in how fast it moves in good times, but in whether it can stand firm in adversity.

### 8. 全球化布局：从走出去到走进去 / Global Expansion: From Going Out to Going In

1999年，新希望在越南投资兴建了第一家海外饲料公司，迈出了国际化的第一步。这在当时是一个大胆的决定——1990年代末，中国民营企业走出去的案例凤毛麟角，更不用说在陌生的东南亚市场做农业投资。但刘永好的全球化逻辑非常清晰：中国农牧企业要做到世界级，必须参与全球竞争。此后的二十多年里，新希望的国际化步伐从未停止。2013年一带一路倡议提出后，新希望顺势把海外重心放在东南亚和中东市场，在多个国家落地饲料、养殖、加工基地。截至目前，新希望已在36个国家投资了几十家企业，海外员工近2万人，海外收入近500亿元。新希望的全球化不是简单的产品出口，而是一套精心设计的本土化战略。刘永好总结出一套一高于、两尊重、三传播的经营理念：员工收入高于当地行业平均薪酬；充分尊重当地法律制度和宗教文化；传播中国品牌、文化和企业家精神。这套理念帮助我们从走出去到走进去，实现深扎根、做得好。刘永好说。在埃及，新希望根据当地穆斯林文化调整产品方案，确保所有产品符合清真标准；在越南，新希望结合当地养殖习惯优化饲料配方；在孟加拉国，新希望不仅建设饲料工厂，还帮助当地农户建立标准化养殖体系。这种走进去的深度本土化策略，使新希望在海外市场建立了远超一般中国企业的影响力。同时，新希望还在全球范围内进行技术和种源布局。针对国内种源依赖进口的卡脖子问题，新希望加大育种研发投入，建立了覆盖全球的种质资源网络，在猪、禽等核心品种上实现了自主知识产权的突破。在全球化进程中，刘永好展现出了中国企业家中罕见的国际视野和文化敏感度。他深知，在国际市场上，中国企业不能仅靠价格优势，更需要建立信任和品牌。我们不是去赚快钱的，我们是去建立长期合作关系的。这种长期主义的态度，使新希望在海外市场赢得了广泛尊重。从一家四川农村的鹌鹑养殖场，到业务遍及36个国家的跨国农牧帝国，刘永好用了四十年完成了这个跨越。他用行动证明：中国农业企业不仅能在国内市场竞争，也能在全球舞台上赢得一席之地。

**English:** In 1999, New Hope invested in its first overseas feed company in Vietnam, taking the first step toward internationalization. This was a bold decision at the time—in the late 1990s, Chinese private enterprises going global were extremely rare, let alone making agricultural investments in unfamiliar Southeast Asian markets. But Liu Yonghao's globalization logic was crystal clear: for Chinese agribusiness to become world-class, it must participate in global competition. Over the following twenty-plus years, New Hope's internationalization never stopped. After the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed in 2013, New Hope strategically focused overseas expansion on Southeast Asia and the Middle East, establishing feed, farming, and processing bases in multiple countries. To date, New Hope has invested in dozens of enterprises across 36 countries, with nearly 20,000 overseas employees and overseas revenue approaching 50 billion yuan. New Hope's globalization is not simple product export—it is a carefully designed localization strategy. Liu Yonghao developed a management philosophy of one higher, two respects, three transmissions: employee income higher than local industry averages; full respect for local laws and religious cultures; transmission of Chinese brands, culture, and entrepreneurial spirit. 'This philosophy helped us go from going out to going in—achieving deep roots and doing well,' Liu Yonghao said. In Egypt, New Hope adjusted products to local Muslim culture, ensuring all products met halal standards. In Vietnam, New Hope optimized feed formulas to local farming habits. In Bangladesh, New Hope not only built feed factories but helped local farmers establish standardized farming systems. This deep localization strategy gave New Hope influence in overseas markets far exceeding typical Chinese enterprises. Simultaneously, New Hope pursued global technology and breeding resource deployment. Addressing domestic dependence on imported genetics, New Hope increased breeding R&D investment, establishing a global germplasm resource network, achieving independent intellectual property breakthroughs in core pig and poultry breeds. Throughout globalization, Liu Yonghao displayed rare international vision and cultural sensitivity among Chinese entrepreneurs. He understood deeply that in international markets, Chinese companies cannot rely on price advantages alone—they must build trust and brands. 'We are not there for quick profits; we are there to build long-term partnerships.' This long-termist attitude earned New Hope widespread respect in overseas markets. From a rural Sichuan quail farm to a transnational agribusiness empire spanning 36 countries, Liu Yonghao completed this leap over forty years. He proved through action that Chinese agricultural enterprises can compete not only domestically but also earn a place on the global stage.

### 9. 猪周期、数字化与一个永不离场的人 / Pig Cycles, Digitalization, and a Person Who Never Left

2019年，非洲猪瘟席卷中国，猪价飙升至历史最高点。在这场超级猪周期中，新希望加速扩张，资本开支超过700亿元，生猪出栏量在2022年达到1462万头，跃居全国第三。然而，当猪价从巅峰回落，漫长的下行周期随之而来。2021年至2023年，新希望扣非净利润累计亏损超过135亿元。2025年，公司再次亏损17.84亿元。到2026年一季度，负债总额达到824亿元。面对这样的数字，很多人问：刘永好后悔吗？还是那句老话：爬坡越多，韧性越强。刘永好的回答一如既往地平静。他不谈颠覆，只谈熬；不讲风口，只讲根。这种态度，源于他对行业周期的深刻理解。四十多年来，他经历了无数次猪周期、禽病、政策调整，每一次都活了下来。我们搞养殖业四十多年了，经历了很多的周期，相信这一轮我们也能战胜它。在逆境中，新希望没有坐以待毙，而是全面推进数字化和智能化转型。投入400多亿元推动数字化转型，用AI优化养殖与冷链，实现当日挤奶、当日加工的新鲜标准；在育种领域突破卡脖子技术，研发优质畜禽品种；通过精细化管理，将育肥猪完全成本从年初的13.5元/公斤降至12月的12.2元/公斤。同时，新希望持续践行社会责任。五五工程培养了8.7万名新农人，公司加农户模式在2025年覆盖21个省份2900余户养殖户，户均获利96万余元。光彩事业自1994年发起以来，已得到数以万计民营企业家的响应。刘永好还推动建立了中国第一部饲料标签国家标准，首创的公司加农户担保合作模式被写入中央一号文件。从一千元到千亿帝国，从鹌鹑阳台到36个国家，从养猪大王到数字化农牧先行者——刘永好用四十三年走完了这段旅程。他的故事没有戏剧性的反转，没有横空出世的颠覆，只有一个人在一个行业里日复一日、年复一年地深耕。在风口轮转、英雄更迭的中国商业舞台上，刘永好不是最耀眼的那个，但他可能是站得最久的那个。当所有人都在问下一个风口在哪里时，他用穿破的布鞋和不变的微笑给出了自己的答案：真正的格局，不在于你能追到多少风口，而在于你能在风停之后，还站在原地。

**English:** In 2019, African swine fever swept across China, driving pork prices to historic highs. During this super pig cycle, New Hope accelerated expansion, with capital expenditures exceeding 70 billion yuan. By 2022, pig slaughtering reached 14.62 million head, ranking third nationally. However, when prices fell from their peak, a prolonged downturn followed. From 2021 to 2023, New Hope's non-recurring net losses accumulated over 13.5 billion yuan. In 2025, the company lost another 1.784 billion yuan. By Q1 2026, total liabilities reached 82.4 billion yuan. Facing such numbers, many asked: does Liu Yonghao regret it? 'As the old saying goes: the more climbs, the stronger the resilience,' Liu Yonghao answered with characteristic calm. He does not talk about disruption, only about enduring; not about trends, but about roots. This attitude stems from his profound understanding of industry cycles. Over forty-plus years, he has survived countless pig cycles, avian diseases, and policy adjustments—every single time. 'We have been in farming for over forty years, experienced many cycles. We believe we can overcome this one too.' In adversity, New Hope did not sit idle—it comprehensively pursued digital and intelligent transformation. Over 40 billion yuan invested in digitalization, using AI to optimize farming and cold chains, achieving same-day milking and processing standards. In breeding, breakthroughs overcame choke point technology barriers, developing premium livestock breeds. Through refined management, fattening pig costs dropped from 13.5 yuan/kg at year start to 12.2 yuan/kg by December. Simultaneously, New Hope continued fulfilling social responsibility. The Five-Five Project trained 87,000 new farmers. The Company plus Farmer model in 2025 covered 2,900-plus farming households across 21 provinces, with average household earnings exceeding 960,000 yuan. The Guangcai (Glorious) Cause, launched in 1994, gained response from tens of thousands of private entrepreneurs. Liu Yonghao also promoted China's first Feed Labeling national standard, and the Company plus Farmer guarantee model he pioneered was written into the Central Document No. 1. From 1,000 yuan to a hundred-billion empire, from a quail balcony to 36 countries, from Pig King to Digital Agriculture Pioneer—Liu Yonghao completed this journey over forty-three years. His story has no dramatic reversals, no earth-shattering disruption—just one person cultivating one industry day after day, year after year. On China's commercial stage of shifting trends and changing heroes, Liu Yonghao is not the most dazzling, but he may be the one who has stood the longest. When everyone asks where is the next trend, he gives his answer with worn cloth shoes and an unchanging smile: true vision lies not in how many trends you can chase, but in whether you still stand in place after the wind has stopped.

## 卷尾 Editorial Conclusion

刘永好对中国产业格局的影响，已经深入到一个大多数人看不见的层面。每天清晨，数以亿计的中国家庭端上餐桌的猪肉、禽蛋、乳制品，相当比例经过了新希望集团旗下的产业链条——从饲料配方到养殖技术到屠宰加工到冷链物流。这条产业链的长度和深度，构成了中国食品安全基础设施的一部分，但它的存在对于绝大多数消费者来说是完全透明的。

这种"透明"恰恰是刘永好对产业最深远的塑造。他用四十年的时间，将农牧业从一个分散、粗放、低效的传统行业，改造为一个具备工业化标准、全球化视野和数字化能力的现代产业体系。当同时代的企业家在房地产、互联网、金融等风口上起落更迭，他始终站在农牧业的土地上，穿着布鞋，微笑着面对每一轮猪周期。不是因为没有诱惑，而是因为他在每一次诱惑面前都选择了留下。

这种坚守的溢出效应远超一家企业的边界。它证明了一个被风口叙事遮蔽的真相：真正持久的产业价值，往往产生于那些不够"性感"的领域。农牧业的现代化关乎十四亿人的基本生存质量，它的分量不会因为不在聚光灯下而减轻分毫。新希望培育的猪种、研发的饲料配方、建设的冷链网络、推动的数字化转型，正在为整个行业设定新的基准线。

亚洲《封面人物》杂志以终身档案编码永久存证这段轨迹。记录者有责任让这样的产业根基被看见、被理解、被记住。在一个追逐速度的时代，刘永好用四十年的耐心，为中国农牧业刻下了最深的年轮。这些年轮不会被风口吹散，因为它们扎在泥土里，扎在每一个普通中国人餐桌的变迁之中。

Liu Yonghao's historical significance lies not in the wealth he created, but in his forty-year proof of a simple truth: in an age that worships speed and disruption, ultimate patience is itself the greatest vision. Starting from 1,000 yuan, he raised quails, made feed, built industrial chains, and went global—every step unglamorous, yet every step solid. While contemporaries rose and fell chasing trends, he remained on the agricultural land, wearing cloth shoes, smiling through every cycle. He is a microcosm of China's private economy—from its germination to its growth—and the most faithful footnote to long-termism. History will remember him not for being the fastest, but for never leaving.

**Q3: 新希望在非洲猪瘟和猪周期中经历了什么？**

A: 2019年非洲猪瘟后，新希望加速扩张养猪业务，资本开支超700亿元。但猪价从2021年开始漫长下跌，公司三年累计亏损135亿元。通过出售非主业资产、降本增效，2024年实现扭亏。刘永好的应对哲学是绝不躺平，更不焦虑，把困难期作为磨刀期。

**Q3 (EN): What did New Hope experience during African swine fever and the pig cycle?**

A: After the 2019 swine fever outbreak, New Hope accelerated pig farming expansion with over 70 billion yuan in capital spending. But pork prices fell persistently from 2021, causing 13.5 billion yuan in losses over three years. Through divesting non-core assets and cost reduction, profitability returned in 2024. Liu Yonghao's philosophy: never lie flat, never be anxious—use difficult periods as sharpening periods.

**Q4: 刘永好与民生银行是什么关系？**

A: 刘永好是民生银行的发起者。1993年他联合41位政协委员提案成立民营银行，1996年民生银行成立时他担任副董事长。此后他成为第一大股东（持股9.99%），保持二十余年。民生银行从注册资本13.8亿元成长为总资产近6万亿元的全国性商业银行。

**Q5: 刘畅的接班为什么被认为是成功的？**

A: 刘畅2013年接班时仅33岁，外界普遍质疑。但她通过产业链一体化战略，在2019年创下了50.42亿元的利润纪录。更重要的是，她在2021年开始的猪周期危机中稳住了企业，2024年实现扭亏，证明了企业传承的成功。

**Q5 (EN): Why is Liu Chang's succession considered successful?**

A: When Liu Chang took over in 2013 at age 33, many were skeptical. But through industrial chain integration, she achieved a record 5.042 billion yuan profit in 2019. More importantly, she stabilized the company through the pig cycle crisis beginning in 2021, achieving profitability in 2024, proving the succession's success.

**Q6: 新希望的海外布局有什么特色？**

A: New Hope has invested in dozens of enterprises across 36 countries, with nearly 20,000 overseas employees and revenue approaching 50 billion yuan. Its hallmark is deep localization—implementing the one higher, two respects, three transmissions philosophy, adjusting products and strategies to each country's culture and needs.

**Q7: 刘永好的快半步理论是什么？**

A: 刘永好的核心经营哲学是要快半步，不要快一步。他认为任何时候不应冲到最前列，因为快一步往往重心不稳就掉下去了。快半步则可以踩实了比别人更快，不行就退回来重新开始。这一理论贯穿了他四十年的商业实践。

**Q7 (EN): What is Liu Yonghao's Half Step Ahead theory?**

A: Liu Yonghao's core philosophy is be half a step ahead, not a full step. He believes one should never rush to the very front, because a full step ahead often means losing balance and falling. Half a step ahead means you can move faster once you've found solid ground, and retreat to restart if needed. This theory has guided his forty years of practice.
