One afternoon, the reporter met smiling Deng Ping in Hongshan Yue Yue Service Company. During the conversation, Deng Ping's composure made the whole interview process in a pleasant atmosphere. It is hard to believe that this is a woman who has experienced a period of ups and downs.
Open 15 clinic and 3 foot baths.
I am from Jiangmen. 199 1 year, I just turned 22 and came to Zhongshan to work as a cashier in a clinic. At that time, my work and life were dull and happy. Like all teenage girls, I have my own dreams and pursuits.
The following year, I married Mr. Zhang, a young man from Guangxi who worked in a clinic. Although many people around me were not optimistic about my marriage at that time, I believed in my own vision, teacher Zhang's ability and my love.
1994, our son was born. One day, an armed police soldier injured his foot at work and went to the clinic to see a doctor. My husband treated the soldier with his ancestral secret recipe for traumatic injury. The soldier was very grateful after his recovery. He suggested that we might as well use our skills to start a career. As soon as my husband and wife discussed it and thought it was a good idea, they left their jobs together and opened a clinic in Songyuan New Village, East District.
1997, my husband saw the business opportunity. At that time, there was a traditional Chinese medicine pedicure in clinic, which could dredge meridians. Many people are willing to choose this therapy. We feel that this kind of therapy can be independent and become a universal way of health care, so that more people can understand and get this kind of good enjoyment and service, so we opened the first foot bath room in Zhongshan City in Songyuan New Village, East District.
Since then, due to the booming business year by year, we seized the opportunity to expand our business. At most, 15 clinic and 3 full-length bathrooms were opened, covering many towns in Zhongshan and surrounding cities such as Jiangmen and Kaiping. When we operated Ding Feng, the total assets of our family exceeded 30 million yuan. We used the money we earned to buy many properties, and of course cars. The car I drive is a BMW 730.
Due to improper investment, all assets were lost within two years.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Around 200 1, the state introduced new regulations to regulate medical services. As neither of us is qualified to obtain a medical license independently, we have no choice but to sell all the clinics.
After selling the clinic, we have a lot of money in our hands and always want to find a way out for it.
One day in 2004, we had tea and chatted with a friend. A friend thinks he can open a daily chemical factory if he has money. He said that more and more people are entering cities, and the consumption of daily consumer goods is increasing with the needs of life. After a period of consideration and investigation, we also feel that the demand in this market is relatively large. As neither of us has any experience in setting up a factory, considering that our friend mentioned earlier is in charge of technology and production in the daily necessities chemical plant, we decided to set up a factory in partnership with that friend.
We used the proceeds from selling clinics to open a daily chemical factory in Sanxiang, built tens of thousands of square meters of workshops and dormitories, and employed more than 500 workers, mainly producing daily chemical products such as shampoo and shower gel. However, problems followed. Whether it's building a factory or purchasing materials, workers' wages, all the documents to be processed, utilities and so on. It needs constant capital investment. In addition, due to poor technology and poor quality, the products produced have not been sold. This state of going out and not going in soon consumed all the money at hand.
In order to save the factory, we transferred the foot bath house and sold some properties one after another in order to bring the factory back to life. The wrong investment, like a gambler who loses money, always wants to turn around. For this "hope", we are their nest economically, but after all, there is nothing we can do. At the end of 2006, the factory was completely closed.
Selling BMW cars to send children to high school.
In 2007, I registered another employment agency, then changed it to a labor dispatch company, and then changed its name to Yue Yue Company. In order to support the operation of the company, I sold two properties except my own house.
In the second year, in order to pay my children's high school tuition, I had no choice but to sell my BMW and become a bus citizen who really supported environmental protection with practical actions.
Last year, a married woman whose hometown opened a factory in Sanxiang sent me an invitation. I went to Sanxiang by bus to attend the wedding reception. At the dinner table, a guest said in front of me, "What's the matter with you? I used to go out to drive a BMW, but now I am crowded with buses. " I smiled and replied, "Isn't environmental protection advocated now?" Afterwards, a friend told me that she could joke on this occasion, and she expressed her admiration.
At present, I run my own Lunar New Year service company. Because of my professionalism and excellent service attitude, the company has basically embarked on an orderly operation. At the beginning of this year, in order to pick up and drop off the Lunar New Year and visit babies and parturients regularly, I bought a BYD car by monthly payment, and once again entered the ranks of car owners.
have a conversation
Only those who fail will lose their temper.
Reporter: I often see some people go bankrupt and jump off a building on TV dramas, but I still see you in this sunshine. How do you face it?
Deng Ping: Going back to the starting point from tens of millions of net worth must be a painful experience in life. However, since it has appeared, the only correct way to deal with it is to face it, no matter what others will think of me; Put it down, don't become a ghost in the shadow of failure.
My husband is a homesick person who goes back to his hometown in Guangxi every Spring Festival. When we were rich, we did many good things for his hometown, such as building roads, schools and ancestral temples. We all donated hundreds of thousands of yuan. And I will invite friends and relatives to dinner, and I will take thirty or forty seats when I have more.
In 2007, we went back to Guangxi for the New Year. At that time, the economic situation was no longer allowed to give red envelopes and invite banquets as in the past, so all kinds of rumors spread. Sister-in-law is a little wronged and wants to argue with others. I advised her, "There is no need. It's normal for people to have opinions. Only those who fail will lose their temper. Your sister-in-law, I am not a person who gives up on myself, so let's not be influenced by these views, just ignore them.
Indeed, in recent years, I have never explained some of others' remarks, and I have always treated them with a normal heart.
Reporter: When you are facing financial constraints, have you ever considered doing some illegal but profitable business or taking advantage of opportunities?
Deng Ping: I never thought about making money by doing illegal business. There was a time when I bought a lottery ticket and wondered if I could win 5 million, but nine times out of ten I couldn't remember the prize. It seems that I am a person who doesn't believe that pies will fall from the sky. After realizing this, I don't even buy lottery tickets, and I plan to make a comeback on my own.
Reporter: You have encountered some unpleasant things.
Deng Ping: Of course. Business investment has failed, life has undergone many changes, and the contrast between human feelings has also been seen a lot. For example, friends who used to go shopping together don't want to talk in person now, and the phone doesn't answer from time to time, as if I wanted to borrow money from them. I am not angry about this, because I believe that I have nothing to lose such a friend, and they will definitely lose me as a friend.
Seeing this cold world clearly has taught me to cherish my relatives and friends who have always supported me. When we are rich, we are busy with business all day and have various forms of entertainment. It's not easy for a family to get together for dinner. At present, it is basically a family eating around the table, which can be called fun.
Reporter: You said you were going to make a comeback. We have seen the success of Shi Yuzhu and the setbacks of Hu Zhibiao again and again. Can you briefly introduce your ideas?
Deng Ping: I think the first thing is confidence. We must believe that we can get rich by working. Although we are not young now, I can give you an account: from 0 to 30 million, it only took us more than ten years, and I still need ten years to get rid of it. Who can say that I can't make another 30 million? What's more, our economic strength, business experience, interpersonal relationship and anti-pressure ability are much stronger than before.
Now, my husband is running outside looking for opportunities to make money. I mainly deal with the affairs of Yue Yue Company. I believe this is a sunrise industry that meets the needs of the society and will certainly get greater development in the future.
