What does flying pig theory mean?

The "Flying Pig Theory", also known as the "Flying Pig Theory", refers to what Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, once said: To start a business, you need to be a pig standing on the wind. If the wind is right, the pig can fly. This sentence immediately became a buzzword in the venture capital circle and one of the most important footnotes of "Internet thinking". All walks of life, especially traditional industries, are actively looking for opportunities, and everyone hopes to become the next "Flying Pig".

Lei Jun also further elaborated on the famous "Flying Pig Theory": the pigs on the air are all practiced. The most critical problem with flying pigs is that when we envy successful people, we must never forget that they are just pigs, flying pigs in the air. If you have such an attitude and good accumulation, you should spend enough time studying the direction and outlet of the trend, so that the probability of success will be much greater.

In June 2005, at the new "Pan Talk" hosted by SOHO China, Lei Jun said that he finally had an opportunity to explain the "pig on the wind" - this had been the focus of criticism before, saying that it was an opportunity "I think the first point is that anyone who succeeds in any field needs 10,000 hours of hard practice. If you don't have basic skills and talk about flying pigs, it's really opportunism." No successful person can succeed without 10,000 hours of hard practice. Therefore, don’t ignore the pigs flying in the sky today. They have not only practiced for 10,000 hours, but maybe 100,000. Hours and above, this is the premise that everyone ignores.”
