No one is born successful, and many big people have done the same work as most ordinary people before they started, like Zhu Yuanzhang, who was actually just an obscure peasant before becoming emperor. Another example is Liu Bei, when he was young, he actually sold straw shoes for a living, the first two are big figures in history, and today I want to introduce you to this is a big figure in the modern business world, his name is Wang Chuanfu. There may be some friends who are not familiar with him, but I believe that car lovers will definitely know him, because he is the founder of BYD. Today we will tell his story: when he was young, he relied on his brother's financial support to finish college, became the richest man after starting a business, and bought a villa for his brother for 35 billion yuan.
Before the establishment of BYD, Wang Chuanfu did not have a good life, he had many brothers and sisters in his family, in addition to him, his parents had seven children, and the family relied on his father as a carpenter to support himself. However, due to overwork, their father soon died of illness, and several older brothers and sisters, in order to let their younger brother Wang Chuanfu go to school, marry people, go out to work part-time, and provide for their younger brothers to go to school.
Wang Chuanfu cherishes his hard-won reading opportunity, so he works very hard in school, as long as you pay, God will not let you down. Wang Chuanfu university was admitted to Central South University, and later his master's degree was admitted to the Beijing General Institute of Nonferrous Metals Research, from this point of view, he can be said to be a complete bully. In the field of power battery research, his position is well-known.
But he was not satisfied with stopping here, at that time China was setting off a boom in business, and Wang Chuanfu, who was nearly thirty years old, hoped to use what he had learned for many years to create a career, so he borrowed a sum of money from his family as an investment principal to create a brand called BYD.
At first, Wang Chuanfu did not pay attention to the automotive industry, just simply produced batteries, but with the increasing popularity of cars, he saw the business opportunities and began to slowly involve the traditional automobile field. Unchanged will be eliminated by this era, Wang Chuanfu found that the rise of traditional cars is limited when he immediately transformed into new energy vehicles. Once this product was launched, it was very popular, and sure enough, new energy vehicles brought huge benefits to BYD, in just a few years, Wang Chuanfu was promoted to 559 on the Forbes global rich list, in 2009, Wang Chuanfu became the richest man in the mainland with a wealth of 35 billion, and now his wealth has shrunk, but it has remained above 30 billion.
Although he has become one of the richest merchants in China, Wang Chuanfu has not forgotten the kindness of his brothers and sisters in the past, he is very diligent and thrifty, never extravagant and wasteful, but spends money on his family without blinking, and also places a villa for each of his brothers to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and also found a position for them in his own company, and he is quite caring for his compatriots.
