'A　friend　indeed'

An　English　saying　has　it　that　'a　friend　in　need　is　a　friend　indeed。'　Many　of　China's　top　entrepreneurs　have　had　to　face　up　to　difficult　times。　At　just　such　a　point；　the　entrepreneurs　we　interviewed　found　themselves　most　reliant　on　their　closest　relations：　their　immediate　family　and　best　friends。

'What　makes　Bill　Gates　tick？'。　According　to　veteran　internet　journalist　Robert　X。　Cringely；　at　the　heart　of　it　lies　Gates'　petitive　nature；　fostered　by　his　grandmother；　and　played　out　in　board　games　and　family　athletic　contests。

Unlike　almost　all　of　China's　top　entrepreneurs　today；　Gates　was　born　into　a　well…to…do　family。　He　had　a　strong　relationship　with　his　mother；　a　bank　director；　who　prodded　him　with　guidance。　His　father　was　a　successful　lawyer。　He　met　Paul　Allen；　Microsoft's　co…founder；　at　high　school；　and　later　went　up　to　Harvard　with　him。　But　it　was　only　when　Allen　was　diagnosed　with　a　serious　illness；　leaving　Gates　in　sole　charge　of　Microsoft；　that　he　honed　his　executive　skills。

Relationship　with　the　country

〃China　is　like　a　university　student　just　about　to　graduate；〃　said　Sun　Guangxin；　chairman　of　Guanghui　Group　in　late　2001。　〃The　student　knows　much　of　what　needs　to　be　done　and　is　preparing　to　go　out　into　the　world。　The　Olympics　and　WTO　will　have　a　stimulant　effect　on　China's　economy；　driving　people　to　bee　more　petitive。〃

In　the　US；　shareholder　value　is　generally　accepted　as　the　reason　for　running　a　business；　but　in　China　there　is　a　strong　feeling；　amongst　many　of　the　entrepreneurs　I　have　met；　of　wanting　to　improve　the　lot　of　the　people　around　them　and；　thereby；　earning　their　respect。
