The Rong family is a Chinese national capital family represented by Rong Yiren. From Rong Yiren's father to his children and grandchildren, the four generations of the Rong family have not forgotten their original hearts, and have written a brilliant page in the long river of China's history by protecting the country, rejuvenating the country and strengthening the country.
In 1986, Premier Deng Xiaoping prepared a unique meeting for the Rong family at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. At the meeting, Premier Deng Xiaoping could not contain his inner excitement, tightly held Rong Yiren's hand and said: You are like General Yang Jiaren, you have made meritorious contributions to protecting the country, and you have meritorious deeds!
The reason why they are Yang Jiajian is because they are not afraid of life and death, and the grand duke is selfless, because they have a bold loyalty to the motherland and the people.
The Rong brothers, namely the elder brother Rong Zongjing and the younger brother Rong Desheng, were born in a chaotic world, but they all had a heart that was not willing to be defeated in the ordinary. In this world where people are busy with their lives, they have chosen to fight a war against the waters, choose a business path, and find a way out for the rejuvenation of the motherland.
In 1984, the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War broke out, and the Qing government was defeated. Subsequently, china was forced to sign the Treaty of Maguan, which humiliated and humiliated the country. As soon as this move was passed on, the whole country exploded like a pot, and the students went on strike and some patriotic officers and soldiers dismissed their officials, and the people were panicked.
In addition, the Qing government was unable to repay a large amount of debts, so it wantonly plundered the people, and the whole country lived in a deep and fierce situation, and the business environment was very bad. The Rong brothers, who were doing business abroad, were very sad to hear this but had to return to their hometown.
However, soon due to Liang Qichao, Kang Youwei and others "writing on the bus", the domestic reform law began, and set off a trend of thinking to save the survival, and the domestic business environment gradually recovered.
At this time, the Rong brothers were a little eager to move, but they were still observing. Until the news came out that Zhang Xiao insisted on returning to his hometown to start a business and established the Dasheng Spinning Factory, the Rong brothers made up their minds to prepare for action.
Due to the rapid recovery of commerce now, many businessmen have a great demand for funds, aiming at this opportunity, the Rong brothers raised 1500 silver dollars to establish their own money bank, providing funds for businessmen, thinking of promoting the development of Chinese national enterprises.
Unfortunately, they are still inexperienced after all, ignoring one point: Shanghai's money houses are already very many, the competition is fierce, and their money houses have just been built, and they have not yet gained a foothold in the market, how can they be compared with them?
The results are predictable. But instead of taking pity on them, Heaven dealt them a fatal blow— the Rong brothers' father died of overwork. The two of them are both sad and unwilling in their hearts, remembering their father's dying instructions that "a family has a family of Yu Gu, and a family has a village of Yu Gu", and they are determined to change the field and start a business again.
Rong Desheng
In 1899, when Rong Desheng was stopping for a while at the Kowloon Pier in Hong Kong on his way back from a business trip to Guangzhou, he accidentally saw a mountain of bags of flour piled up next to him.
After inquiring, he learned that the flour was shipped from abroad to the interior, and when he thought that the money in the pockets of the Chinese people should be put into the pockets of foreigners, Rong Desheng's heart ached like being stabbed by a knife. Suddenly, a bold idea sprouted in his mind.
Back in Shanghai, as soon as he saw Rong Zongjing, Rong Desheng was indignant and indignant, and said with tears: "Brother, those foreigners occupy my territory, destroying my homeland is not enough, now we still have to control our grain, this is not to leave a way for Chinese to live!" ” Seeing his brother's frown and silence, Rong Desheng continued: "Brother, don't worry, I have already thought of a way out." Let's start a flour mill! ”
As soon as the words fell, RongZong stood up violently, his brows stretched and trembled with excitement, and said, "Good! It didn't take long for them to find investors to inject money into the Maoxin Flour Mill.
At first, the flour mill was strongly blocked by the local squires and attacked by public opinion, and then with the support of the governor and the continuous efforts of the Rong brothers, they broke through the barriers and opened the local market door.
In the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, the Russian flour mills in the northeast were destroyed tragically, and a large amount of flour was urgently needed to be replenished, and the Maoxin Flour Mill took the opportunity to make a lot of money.
But it's not just the Rong brothers who see this business opportunity. Soon it seemed like a trend to open flour mills, the flour market gradually crowded, and the Rong brothers began to lose money.
In order to change the current situation, the Rong brothers began to formulate and implement a new strategy - to add machines to the transformation. The brothers borrowed 120,000 taels of silver to purchase a large amount of flour machines, which quickly increased production and expanded the scale of the industry. At the same time, the outbreak of World War I, in order to solve the domestic food demand, European countries purchased a large number of materials, especially flour, from overseas countries.
Maoxin Flour Mill took this opportunity to develop into a golden age. At this time, the Rong brothers are not satisfied with the status quo, they think that eating and wearing is the top priority, any of which can not let foreigners take advantage of the loophole, since the "eating" has been solved, then now should focus on solving the problem of "wearing".
Rong Zongjing
How to solve this problem, the Rong brothers want to break their heads and do not know what to do more effectively. Until one night, Rong Zongjing was upset about this and wanted to take a walk in the courtyard to relieve his boredom, and suddenly he had an epiphany!
Then he flew back into the house like an arrow off the string, and excitedly said to Rong Desheng: "Brother, textile industry!" Soon, The Shanghai Shenxin Textile Factory was officially established.
Next, the Rong brothers' enterprises developed rapidly, not only becoming the largest private enterprise group in China to solve the problem of eating and wearing countless Chinese, but also acquiring the Nisshin Spinning Factory established by the Japanese to win glory for the motherland. The era of belonging to the Rong clan is coming.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very bone. Everything that should have belonged to the Rong clan was ruthlessly destroyed by the war.
In August 1937, the Battle of Songhu broke out, and the scale, losses, and tragic conditions were unimaginable. There were 2,270 factories destroyed in Shanghai, and Rong's enterprises were also among them.
Nearly two-thirds of the industry was destroyed to the point that there was no slag left, thousands of newly purchased machines were destroyed, and the glory that the Rong family had just built was immediately shattered.
Often when the rain is the most intense, there is always a storm. Rong Zongjing died because he could not accept this major blow. When Rong Zongjing left, the top pillar of the family also completely collapsed, and the people in the family were afraid and left Shanghai to escape for their lives, and the Rong enterprise fell into the bottom.
However, at this time, Rong Desheng was kidnapped by someone again, and the kidnappers threatened the Rong family with a ransom of 500,000 US dollars, otherwise they would tear up the ticket. The Rong family had no choice but to agree to this unreasonable request, which made the Rong family, which was already in deep crisis, even worse.
But after Rong Desheng returned home safely, the nightmare continued, and for two consecutive years, various threat letters and extortion calls never stopped. Although the Rong family members have left one after another, Rong Desheng still insisted on Staying in Shanghai, and he said to his fourth son, Rong Yiren, with righteousness: "I am an upright Chinese, and I have the responsibility and obligation to defend my motherland." So I'm not going to leave here. ”
Influenced and infected by his father, Rong Yiren chose to stay with his father and take on heavy responsibilities to save the country through industry.
Rong Yiren with his family
But this road is not so easy after all. The Japanese fire was fierce, and soon occupied a large area in the northeast, and the Kuomintang was defeated. However, the Kuomintang party was unwilling to take responsibility, blamed each other, and finally let Rong Yiren carry this black cauldron.
The crowd blamed his flour for something wrong, which led to the soldiers eating diarrhea and being unable to go into battle to kill the enemy, which eventually led to defeat. Upon learning of this, Rong Yiren angrily pounded the table and shouted desperately: "I am not ashamed, I will not do anything that is ashamed of the motherland!" "Although everyone knows it, no one has done justice for Rong Yiren.
In 1949, the Shanghai District Court charged Rong Yiren with "false accusations" against Rong's enterprises, and the authorities took advantage of the fire to rob Rong Yiren, and Rong Yiren was forced to compensate gold and US dollars. All kinds of misfortunes have completely crushed Rong's enterprises to the bottom of the mountain.
If a person is always suffering from blows but he can persevere, then once the opportunity comes, he will inevitably achieve great things.
The Rong family suffered repeated blows, the brothers and sisters in the family divided the property, the machinery and equipment were all sold, and Rong Yiren not only did not get a penny but also had to repay the workers' debts.
Chen Yi
When he was cornered, Rong Yiren could only go to the then Mayor of Shanghai, Chen Yi. With the financial support of Chen Yi, Rong Yiren finally distributed the wages of the workers in a timely manner, alleviating the current situation.
In 1950, Mao Zedong invited a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Rong Yiren was fortunate to be among them. At the meeting, Mao Zedong's words completely awakened Rong Yiren, "Whoever has done good things for the people, the people will not forget him." Rong Yiren woke up like a dream and began his road to overturning.
In 1953, Rong Yiren took the lead in applying for an office-private partnership to guide Rong's enterprises to take the direction of socialism. In 1959, Rong Yiren served as the vice minister of the State Textile Industry and began to promote the improvement and innovation of the textile industry. With the unremitting efforts of Rong Yiren, China ranked first in the world's textile exports from 1961 to 1963.
In 1979, Rong Yiren proposed a blueprint for the establishment of the China International Trust and Investment Corporation. When many people were laughing at his whimsy, he didn't care but confidently said to himself, "I can!" "He really can, because his eyes are so firm, and the light in his eyes is so shining."
Rong
At the beginning of the establishment of the company, there was not even a decent office location, but it was such an inconspicuous little seedling that grew into a towering tree after experiencing ups and downs!
In the first year of the company, although Rong Yiren received thousands of international friends and negotiated many businesses, the real projects were very few, and the company could not make ends meet. In desperation, he decided to let go of the big gamble, use the way of borrowing to continue to invest, and wait until the company's situation improves before repaying these debts.
In 1982, CITIC successfully opened the door by issuing a 10 billion yen private placement bond in Japan.
In 1984, CITIC went on to issue 30 billion yen, 300 million Hong Kong dollars, 150 million marks, and 100 million U.S. dollars of bonds, which not only solved CITIC's own financial problems, but also provided financial support for the country's industrialization and modernization in the reform and opening up, and also saved a key project in China - Yizheng Chemical Fiber.
Under the painstaking management of Rong Yiren for many years, CITIC has developed from more than 20 people in that year to more than 30,000 people now, with total assets of up to 80 billion yuan and a total of 33 branches, becoming a world-class multinational enterprise.
Born in Shanghai in 1942 and graduated from Tianjin University, Rong Zhijian became the managing director of CITIC in 1986. After a large number of acquisitions in the market, with the success of xiangzhi ball, Taifu was successfully listed, and it was renamed CITIC Pacific. Under the leadership of Rong Zhijian, CITIC's influence has been expanding and its strength has become stronger and stronger.
Rong Zhijian
Rong Mingjie and Rong Mingfang are the two children of Rong Zhijian. Influenced by Rong Zhijian, they did not want to be left behind, and when their studies were completed, the two immediately set off to return to Taifu. The two successively served as directors of The Wealth Group.
Rong Mingjie used what he learned to change his management thinking, and adopted the employee participation method to tie the interests of employees themselves with the interests of the group and mobilize the enthusiasm of employees.
After Rong Mingfang became a director of Taifu, he followed the management style of Rong Mingjie, and often encouraged employees to boldly express their opinions and ideas. Under the leadership of the two, the development scale of CITIC Pacific Group is getting bigger and bigger, and its popularity is constantly improving!
Mao Zedong once said: "The Rong family is the first household of China's national capitalists, and they are the only ones in the world who can really be called a consortium." And they used their wealth to make an indelible contribution to the motherland. ”
On June 18, 1986, a unique family gathering was held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, and more than 200 family members of the Rong family were able to meet. At that time, in order to stir up the atmosphere, the 82-year-old Deng Xiaoping cordially greeted Rong Yiren's 79-year-old brother Rong Erren: "Do you smoke?" Rong Erren, who was still restrained, relaxed as soon as he heard it and said, "I can't smoke." ”
Deng Xiaoping immediately added: "No? Then you're such a nice guy! The people present all laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
At the meeting, Premier Xiaoping excitedly clasped Rong Yiren's hand, and his voice was already trembling: "Yiren, your Rong family is like the Yang family general on the battlefield, everyone is a hero, and you have made so many contributions to the country, you are meritorious!" The future development of the country is inseparable from you! ”
The people present were all in tears, because there were many people in the war-torn Rong family who had been wandering overseas for many years, and they were already guilty and eager to return to the embrace of the motherland to contribute to the motherland, and Premier Xiaoping's words warmed them.
In addition, Deng Xiaoping specially praised Rong Yiren: The country's war and chaos are in crisis, and when you really never left and were not rich, you still donated money and materials to the motherland and made outstanding contributions to the development of the motherland! Your perseverance for so many years, we all see in the eyes, remember in the heart! After Rong Yiren heard this, two lines of hot tears rushed down.
After the praise, Xiaoping said to the members of the Rong family in the form of the current reform and opening up: "Now our country's development is focused on economic construction, and we have been delayed for a hundred years, so now we must start without stopping." I hope that you can return to the motherland, use people and money to build the economy, and let the country develop. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone expressed their heartfelt words one after another, indicating their determination to serve the country.
Subsequently, Deng Xiaoping again named Rong Yiren: "Yiren, you are a deputy and have experience, and I can rest assured that I will trust you in this regard." You can do it boldly, don't worry about it, and don't be hindered politically! ”
Rong Yiren's eyes were red, he knew that the prime minister was clearing obstacles for him, and he said firmly: "You can rest assured, I will do my best to complete the task." ” At this time, Premier Xiaoping smiled and said, "Then you can't engage in bureaucracy!" The people present laughed again.
Therefore, the Rong family, represented by Rong Yiren, was entrusted with heavy responsibilities and continued to continue the legend of the Rong family.
In history, almost no family can complete the glory that lasted for nearly a hundred years, but the Rong family did. Rongshi wrote his own magnificent article in the long river of history.
Although the elders of the Rong family gradually left this world, their descendants are flourishing, still maintaining the prosperity of the Rong family, and still creating the legend of the Rong family!
