High-profile Invasion —— Interpretation of 37-year-old self-made billionaire Wang Chuanfu
-
/ 2004-02- 17 08:05:52
In terms of age, 37-year-old Wang Chuanfu is firmly in the leading position in the battery industry, which can be described as an early bloomer. With a wealth of $338 million, Wang Chuanfu ranks 13 in Chinese mainland's rich list, which can be regarded as a model of self-made.
Speaking of fame,
Wang Chuanfu, who repelled Brilliance and Delong and invaded Qinchuan Automobile, hung the appetite of the public and couldn't help but create momentum.
Speaking of luck, Wang Chuanfu, who was born at the right time, caught up with the good opportunity of global economic integration. Although his "Made in China" has been repeatedly banned by the international market, no one can stop its low-cost expansion.
Although it was only two years ago that Wang Chuanfu's sudden emergence appeared frequently in major media, his sudden emergence was by no means an accidental phenomenon in China's economic map.
When more and more entrepreneurs born in the 1960s appeared in China's wealthy class, people began to pay attention to the fact that the theory of original sin gradually faded on them. They were bound by the traditional complex of the previous generation and wandered around modern shopping malls with their inherent radical factors and knowledge-based tools.
Wang Chuanfu is undoubtedly a representative figure of ethnic groups in the 1960s. "Geo-culture", the oldest legacy in China's history, turned Wang Chuanfu's Shenzhen factory into the development base of his Anhui hometown.
"Man can conquer nature", the loudest slogan in China in 1960s, was injected into his enterprise organization by Wang Chuanfu.
"Changing thinking", the most popular concept in the information age, made Wang Chuanfu realize the crisis of survival when the enterprise reached its peak.
Tian Suning, an entrepreneur who was also born in 60 years, has publicly admitted that they were born in 60 years full of revolutionary spirit, grew up in 70 years of collectivism, came into contact with the impact of western culture in early 80 years, and became the most active backbone in the cultural process of China in 90 years.
This group is both cutting-edge and conservative. What does their success mean in China? Can the enterprise ecological circle formed by them represent the future economic development direction of China?
Han Chang 'an: Starting a business and eating sesame seeds from scratch, billionaire Han Chang 'an was with the students of the first "Chang 'an Photography Hope School" he founded in China.
Creative eating sesame seed cake starts from scratch
On February 17, China Lunar New Year's Eve, when all the lights were on, billionaire Han Changan was inspecting with workers in various workshops, holding peanuts, melon seeds and hundred-dollar bills to pay a New Year call to employees who were still working in their thirties. This unwritten rule has lasted 13.
Han Changan 1994 started from scratch. After 13 years of struggle, he developed a small coking enterprise into a leader in the same industry. The coke products he produced are directly loaded on trains from the factory, transported to all parts of the country, and even exported to countries such as the United States. His entrepreneurial legend has become an example for local young people to follow.
The reporter asked him to talk about the hardships of starting a business, and he readily accepted. He just told reporters not to record it, as if they were chatting. He pulled up two chairs and sat opposite the reporter.
"It was a very accidental opportunity. 1993 One day in the early winter, I was the deputy general manager of Shanxi Changzhi Materials Company and received a phone call from my wife, saying that I would go back to run for village director. I never dreamed that the villagers trusted me so much, and I was elected smoothly. At that time, I thought I must not live up to the expectations of the villagers. At that time, China's coke industry was still in its infancy, and I started to enter the coke industry with hundreds of thousands from east to west. At that time, my idea was very simple, that is, I wanted to lead the villagers in Changzhuang to live the life of people in the upper city and eliminate the differences between workers and peasants and between urban and rural areas. "
He is only 27 years old. When he put forward this "great goal", almost no one in the village believed him, and everyone thought he was talking big. Now people have to believe that he has gradually developed a small private enterprise with only a few dozen people into a "leader" who drives a group of local coke enterprises to set up coke production bases in China, with an annual output value of over 3 billion yuan and a daily income of 6.5438+million yuan, spanning the fields of energy, electricity, transportation, tourism and real estate development. He is really fulfilling his promise step by step.
In the most difficult period of the factory, although the construction site was only 1 km away from home, he didn't enter the house for a month. He ridiculed: "If you don't start a business, you don't know the pain of starting a business! At that time, we launched the' Hongqi No.3' coke oven with an annual output of 60,000 tons, which is a precedent in the whole province. Because there is no experience to learn from, I have to stay at the construction site day and night with several workers to deal with problems at any time. No worker is left behind, whether it is biting cold or scorching sun and sweating like a pig. I am very grateful to those employees who started their business together. "
After Han Changan became rich, there was more gossip in the village. Someone once said that when he ate out, he spent thousands of dollars on a table of food. Han Changan once refuted such doubts, but later learned to endure. He told reporters: "I am a native of the countryside. My childhood life was very bitter, herding sheep, digging wild vegetables and picking up cinders. These are my childhood memories. I can't get used to those meals at all in my bones, but sometimes for business, these expensive meals are prepared for those guests, and I often get into the car and eat sesame cakes. To start a business, you have to be patient. No matter what others say, you know what you are doing, and ultimately you have to convince the villagers. "
Development, making money and environmental protection go hand in hand.
He is like a captain, leading Shanxi Lubao Group to triumph in the economic tide of China. From a private enterprise that was not noticed by people in the early days, it has developed into a "new overlord" who creates 65.438 billion yuan of coal-fired electric coke every day, forming a group enterprise composed of 9 companies, and plans to achieve an annual sales income of 65.438 billion yuan in five years.
The rich man has many titles. He told reporters that he cherished three things most: the director of Changzhuang Village, the hero of Shangdang, and the NPC representative. After becoming rich, he hardened the roads in Changzhuang village, built kindergartens and primary schools, connected running water, installed program-controlled telephones and adopted central heating. The "five-guarantee elderly" in the village receive daily necessities on time every year, build villagers' activity centers and squares, and move sports equipment to the villagers' doorsteps ... Now, the village has built the same high-rise villas as the city. If you don't look carefully, you won't think this is in the countryside.
Many villagers told reporters in an interview that Han Changan was willing to spend money on the rewards of model workers, ranging from villas worth several hundred thousand yuan to bonuses of 2,000 yuan for each of the 3,000 employees in the factory. His love for employees is also full of simple homesickness. On holidays, he will organize the distribution of rice, noodles and oil to farmers in order to enrich their lives.
The scale of the factory is gradually growing, and the villagers' lives are getting richer, but what the villagers see is another scene. Han Changan, like a madman, spends hundreds of thousands of yuan every year to buy a large number of saplings and plant them around the factory. This is an incredible move for others, which is equivalent to "burning his hard-earned money as waste paper."
"In the 1990s, when I was smelting coke, I had noticed the existing environmental pollution problems. Coal coking industry is a highly polluting industry with a lot of dust and smoke. It has always been called' Nidhogg', so on the one hand, we should try our best to improve production technology and reduce pollution emissions; on the other hand, we should plant more trees. Trees can reduce dust, absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen and improve air quality. Only a variety of trees can really make people live a happy and healthy life. " Han Changan said.
But many people still can't understand it, and even say that he is a "fool" for spending money to plant trees. He completely ignored this argument and went his own way. He bought all the land in Fiona Fang, Fiona Fang for several kilometers and planted trees. Not only that, he also personally went to the scene to plant trees with the workers. Some workers dug holes too shallow or too deep, planted saplings and died. After he found out, he reprimanded them face to face, and he did not forget to put the "account" on the workers in the coming year and replant trees.
In summer, 4,000 mu of forest land around the factory area is densely covered with green eyes, lush and green, and the sun is shaded. The common people finally understood what he had done and began to feel, "How can this shepherd boy see so far?"
Practice has proved that his choice is correct. Our province began to pay attention to environmental pollution, especially after the implementation of the "one-vote veto system" policy on environmental protection, many coal coke enterprises that only care about economic development and ignore environmental protection problems encountered "Waterloo". At that time, those small business owners who had despised his practices finally had to admire his vision. "My goal is to plant at least 20,000 mu. Now that I have just completed a small part, I will continue to plant trees. " When he said this, the northern man's voice was firm.
He told reporters that he would spend huge sums of money to build the first green eco-industrial park in China, and take "enterprises built in the forest, looking for enterprises in the forest" as his pastoral dream.
Spin back 1000 silver, come back!
When the outside world is full of speculation about the rich in Shanxi, Han Changan, as a rich man in Shanxi, has a very simple personal life. He refused to enter any entertainment places and regarded gambling, drinking, idleness and irresponsibility as the worst behavior. Not only that, he also set up the "Red and White Council" in the village, advocating villagers to be frugal and not extravagant.
Compared with those Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley limousines, he drives Audi A6, which is the most common among the wealthy in China. He also likes to eat rice soup and millet beans with Changzhi characteristics. Rich people from the yellow land have too much homesickness.
Over the years, he enjoyed education and social donation because of what he saw with his own eyes during his pioneering period.
1in the autumn of 994, he visited a primary school in a mountainous rural area and said that there were actually only two classrooms in the primary school. The tables, chairs and benches are all made of stone, the windows are not covered, and flies and mosquitoes fly everywhere. It's just the end of class, and there are only two students in the classroom.
"I went in. A little boy is doing his homework on the back of an old calendar. He held a pencil that was not as short as a cigarette filter tightly with his index finger and thumb, and licked it from time to time, probably to make the written words darker ... At that time, my tears came out. From then on, I had an idea: use my life's efforts to create wealth and let all poor children enter the spacious and bright classroom to complete their studies! " He said.
Now, his love tentacles have already extended out of the small mountain village and into the wider world. In recent years, he has donated more than 60 million yuan to the glorious cause, public welfare cause, education cause and all walks of life in China, founded more than 30 primary and secondary schools in the province, and launched the first "Chang 'an Photography Hope School" in China. He plans to build 1 0,000 "Chang 'an Primary Schools" in poverty-stricken areas across the country, and at the same time personally subsidize the living expenses of hundreds of poor college students.
However, as a businessman, the word "profit" has been valued by businessmen since ancient times. But as a real businessman and a successful entrepreneur, Han Changan believes that the most important thing should not be money, but faith. Whether doing business or being a man, we should leave a good reputation, because reputation is a magic weapon for businessmen to be invincible in the market competition, and what I promised at that time must be fulfilled.
For more than ten years, he himself has been devoted to charity and won a good reputation and popularity for the enterprise, which is wealth that cannot be measured by numbers. He has been listed as one of the richest people in China by Hurun Rich List for two consecutive years. But compared with other rich people who are keen on personal enjoyment, his money is always spent on the people and things that are most needed, giving more poor people hope to pursue their dreams.
In his words, if an entrepreneur only cares about his own interests and doesn't care about the harmonious development of society, then his enterprise will be small, weak and short-lived. Enterprises belong to themselves when they are small, and to society when they are big. Wise entrepreneurs, whether they give money in life or die without money, will actively participate in public welfare undertakings.
His attitude towards money has always been "indifferent". He said, "My money comes from society. I gave back to society, and society certainly won't treat me badly. My daughter will come back when she leaves. "
However, when he did these things, all kinds of criticisms were flying all over the sky, such as: "nouveau riche took money to give alms everywhere to show off their wealth." Hearing this argument, the rich once lost their way.
"Private entrepreneurs who don't donate are called' low consciousness' and those who donate more are called' showing off'. Never understood. " He said. However, he finally ignored these comments and still did what he liked.
"I only know that as long as I see and hear and need help, as long as I have the ability, I will be duty-bound. Even if I have nothing, I will still donate. I think this is the minimum morality of being a man. " He said.
Now, all the incredible actions of Han Changan are gradually understood by people, but in the heart of this "strange" rich man, his red aircraft carrier-the development and construction of red tourism in the old district is brewing.
"I think that no matter what we do, we can't forget our roots. Shanxi has a large number of precious red tourism resources, such as the site of the Hundred Regiments War and the former site of the Eighth Route Army Office. The group's investment in red tourism has no return. I just want to help the next generation receive revolutionary traditional education, support the development and construction of red tourism in the old areas, and hope to provide tourists with a way to relive history. " He said.
In addition, he also set up the "Chairman Mao Memorial Hall of Shanxi Lubao Group" in the village. Tens of thousands of Chairman Mao's medals, quotations, portraits, sculptures, porcelain and oil paintings are rare in our province and even the whole country. On the first day of the first month of the Spring Festival in 2007, this memorial hall became the most visited place by villagers.
"Life is rich now, but we can't forget our roots. Let's not forget the past, so that we can better cherish the present and have the motivation to create the future. " Han Changan said.
