10 As the head of Lifan groups, 66 year-old Yiminshan's business experience can be 12br
10called a miracle in China's Motorcycle Industry.12br

10 Mr Yi opened up his business at the age of 54. But only more than a decade's hardworking was enough to turn the initial private company of 9 employees and 200 thousand yuan capital into a aircraft-carrier scale enterprise with an anual output around 4 billion yuan, and anual tax reaching 100 million yuan.12br

10 Why the non-state companies in China cannot grow larger after they have become big? Many people think it's because of the family based system, and also blame that they only need familiy members ,as well as a lack of scientific management. However,Mr Yimingshan, president of Chongqing Lifan group, has his opinion,"It's too early to abandon Family runned enterprises", In his opinion, the existence of Family-runned enterprises is both feasible and necessary for both the operaton mechanism and the manegement methods. He also said, Once you open our mind, you'll find that Family-runned enterprises are ubiquitous, such as the Matsushita Group of Japan, the CPG Group of Thailand ??DuPont of USA, they are all runned by families, In his estimation, this enterprise systerm will survive in the next 50 years.12br

10 Like many other bosses of non-state enterprises, Mr Yiminshan is a defender of hisenterprise: the trust in family members on business issues is for stability; The talent-emphasized concept is for development. LiFan group must be managed by me and my famliy so as to bring development to our enterprise, The dispute over whether a family runned enterprise should be runned by family or real qualified people rised many people's critics, and Yi stepped out bravely as a defendant of non-state enterprises. 12br
10 "The most direct reason of why I trust my family and distrust non-family members" said Yi frankly " is that the law systerm is China is not completely sound, there sill need to be improvement of business secrets and intellectual rights "12br
12br
10 "it's too dangerous If an outsider's disclosed to a core know-how. He can steal it, and instablize the whole enterprise" He expalned" The stablity can only rely on families,becaues there's nearly no possiblity that they will betrary" Yi's words are from a lesson what he has been taught: His partener, whom Yi started up his business with, left him. " He took a case of secret files with him, and claimed that he only liked to talk to me, or he'll give off our secret" "This issue gave me a great shock, and made me reflect" It not only a costly loss for Lifan technique secrets, but also greatly changed Yi's opinion towards his business parteners.12br
12br
10 Yiminshan is very clear of those people's questions about Family-runned enterprises, "If you want stablity, you'll go to the extreme, and be convinced that 'Loyalty' has a priority to 'talent", If things keep becoming worse, one day, 'without talent' is more precious that 'talent', that's how so many family-runned enterprises lack in talents, and unfairness of personnel, and have not a good inhouse working enviroment, and lost their competences and loyalties" To prevent these from happening, Yi invented a set of tactics to cope with: one brain is used as two, and rewarded as ten." This is a mechenisem that makes people feel that they would rather stay than leave" Yi announced "Lifan's success owned its credit to its emphasis of a well-balanced develoment of both family and talent 12br

10 "Family used as a resource"12br
12br
10 Yiminshan's second rule to use people is to use family members as a resouce that can be available anywhere and reliable, Yiminshan has a very clear idea of those questions and doubts about family-runned enterprise, His solution is "strict in himself, forgiving to the theirs, but stricter with his own family members", As he said "As to payment, People are better paid than my relatives' if they are put in the same position. Because my relatives' jobs are more stable, so it doesn't matter, Another example, My son can only be discharged, but he's still my son" That's why family members can get trust, and then money and experieces, which may become a cause of interest dispute inside the faimly. "There are quite a few CEOs in China, that have ethic problems" Yimingshan became especially exited and said"They don't know how to take their boss's interests into considerion, and always keep occupied by their dreams of becoming a boss" In such an unfavorable exterbal enviroment, Yiminshan has to work out on his own,"I call it "laying an equal emphasis on famliy and talent", a management by family is for stablity, a emphasis on talent is for development.". He has never boasted that he wouldn't choose any realative, however he also said his way " is the best fit for China's situations".12br
