股权激励是将公司股权或股权的收益权以某种方式授予企业的中高层管理人员和业务、技术骨干，形成权利和义务相互匹配的所有权、收益权、控制权关系，从而激励员工为公司长期发展服务的一种制度安排。

Equity incentive is an institutional arrangement that grants the company's equity or the usufruct of equity to the middle and senior managers and business and technical backbone of the enterprise in some way to form a relationship of ownership, usufruct and control with matching rights and obligations, so as to encourage employees to serve the long-term development of the company.

但这样回答领导经常一头雾水的反问：“嗯，你说的很专 业，但你能不能讲得通俗点？”。

But in this way, the leaders often ask confused questions: "well, what you say is very professional, but can you speak more popularly?".

那就“望文生义”吧，把“股权激励”四字短语加上主谓宾，就成了“领导拿出股权来激励员工，让员工和领导一样充满干劲，一起发财”，这就是股权激励。

Then "meaning by words". Adding the subject, predicate and object to the four word phrase "equity incentive" becomes "leaders take out equity to motivate employees, so that employees can be as motivated as leaders and make money together". This is equity incentive.

“领导拿出股权来激励员工一起发财”解释了股权激励。

"Leaders take out equity to encourage employees to get rich together" explains equity incentive.

，股权激励是领导的行为（或者说企业行为），股权是领导拿出来的，领导愿不愿意很重要；

First of all, equity incentive is the behavior of leaders (or enterprise behavior). Equity is taken out by leaders, and whether leaders are willing or not is very important;

其次，拿出的是股权，股权是什么？股权对应的是企业的所有权、收益权、控制权，所以激励时你可以考虑将三种权利全部用来激励，也可以只拿出收益权（这不就是实股模式和虚拟股模式吗？）；

Secondly, what we take out is equity. What is equity? Equity corresponds to the ownership, earning right and control right of the enterprise, so you can consider using all three rights for incentive, or you can only take out the earning right (isn't this the real share model and the virtual share model?);

然后，做股权激励的目的是“激励”，激励包括吸引优良人才、留住人，让他和领导一样努力奋斗，为企业创造价值。

Then, the purpose of equity incentive is "incentive", which includes attracting and retaining excellent talents, making him work as hard as leaders and creating value for the enterprise.

所以，股权激励并不神秘，它就是一种激励手段，只不过激励的标的是股权以及附着在股权上的各种权利。但正是这种标的的不同，让股权激励具有特殊的魅力。拥有股权就成为了企业的所有者、跟企业大领导一起发财的小领导了，能参与企业的管理决策；

Therefore, equity incentive is not mysterious. It is an incentive means, but the subject of incentive is equity and various rights attached to equity. However, it is this difference in subject matter that makes equity incentive have special charm. Owning equity becomes the owner of the enterprise and the small leader who makes a fortune with the big leaders of the enterprise, and can participate in the management decision-making of the enterprise;

股权本身也是有价值的，并且这种价值会随着企业的不断发展而持续增加，如果企业登陆资本市场，这种价值还会成增长长，形成“收益权”。

Equity itself is also valuable, and this value will continue to increase with the continuous development of the enterprise. If the enterprise lands in the capital market, this value will increase exponentially to form a "usufruct".
