Recently, because of the Lenovo incident, there has been a lot of debate about who is a capitalist and who is an entrepreneur, and the Liu family has naturally been classified as a capitalist, while Huawei's Ren Zhengfei and Fuyao's Cao Dewang are regarded as entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneur or capitalist?
Speaking of Fuyao's Cao Dewang, everyone was impressed by his style of being able to speak, and a while ago he was also angry because he scolded Evergrande Xu Jiayinwu for being a mess.
However, to say that Cao Dewang is a national entrepreneur, some people have jumped out to oppose it. Why?
6000 square meters
Cao Dewang revealed in a TV show that he built a 6,000-square-meter mansion, in which 16 beautiful housekeepers served, and boxes of Moutai alone were piled up on a wall.
In the latest global rich list, Cao Dewang ranked 779th with 3.9 billion US dollars, having money is really rich, but almost every entrepreneur has money, and he can't deny that he is an entrepreneur because he has money!
15.57%
This figure is not ordinary to say, this is the proportion of Cao Dewang's equity in Fuyao Glass held through Hong Kong Sanyi Development Co., Ltd.
Cao Dewang established Sanyi in Hong Kong as early as 1991, and then held the shares of Fuyao Glass through Sanyi, which is equivalent to putting his personal assets in Hong Kong.
10 years
In 1995, Cao Dewang invested heavily in the United States to build a factory, successfully obtained a U.S. green card, and the family immigrated to the United States. If this had happened today, it would have undoubtedly been a runaway. Their own assets are already in Hong Kong, and people have immigrated to the United States.
Seeing this, everyone will think that this can still be regarded as a national entrepreneur? But don't worry, Cao Dewang immigrated to the United States 10 years later, that is, in 2005, gave up the U.S. green card and moved the family back to China.
This shift may seem abrupt, but it is not incomprehensible. In the 1990s, just over a decade after the reform and opening up, these big bosses of enterprises still lacked a sense of security in their hearts, and what if the hard-earned family business disappeared if the policy changed.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is really reasonable to find a way back for yourself.
However, in the new century, the soaring trend of China's dragons has attracted worldwide attention. At this time, the real people of insight must of course choose to be attached, and Cao Dewang is such a person of insight. In the past fifteen years, the annual revenue of Fuyao Glass has grown from 2.9 billion to more than 20 billion today.
Good, dedicated, true
However, what is really praised by the insightful Cao Dewang is not that he made the right choice at the right time, but that some other capitalists who are capable of profit do not have. It can be summed up in three words: goodness, dedication, and truth.
300 million shares
In 2011, Cao Dewang and his wife donated 300 million shares of Fuyao Glass to establish the Heren Charity Foundation, which had a market value of 3.549 billion yuan at the time and a market value of 8.874 billion yuan.
Every year, the Heren Foundation obtains funds by selling shares or stock dividends of Fuyao Glass, and then donates to public welfare undertakings such as poverty alleviation, education assistance, and disaster relief, and has donated a total of 3.4 billion yuan so far.
45 years
Another outstanding feature of Cao Dewang is that he has been specialized, from 76 years into the glass factory as a buyer, he has been dealing with glass for 45 years, others are doing more and more yuan, he is more and more specialized.
Even if it is made of glass, he is also focused on car glass to do, and he rarely invests in other glasses. It is so specialized that it has a 20% market share of global automotive glass, surpassing foreign glass giants, ranking the leading boss in the industry, and no one can match.
One person can do one thing well in a lifetime.
The first one
From 2001 to 2005, Fuyao won two anti-dumping cases in Canada and the United States for several years. Fuyao Glass also became the first Chinese company to sue the U.S. Department of Commerce and win.
In his own words: "I will make things bigger and let the whole world judge them!" Even if the family is ruined, I will also do it with him! ”
Just as the so-called is true or false, it is true that it is true, and in the matter of reasoning, Cao Dewang is a non-concession, whether he is an official or a business leader, as long as it is unreasonable, he dares to say it.
What is an entrepreneur?
Cao Dewang believes that if entrepreneurs do not have a sense of responsibility, they are at best a rich man. He never hid that he was rich, but he never admitted that he was rich.
In fact, as an entrepreneur, Cao Dewang did make a lot of money by running Fuyao, and thus lived a rich life.
But in all fairness, who doesn't want to make money to live a good life? As long as it is not excessive extravagance and waste, there is nothing to blame.
What's more, under the tide of the market economy, capital naturally has the role of obtaining benefits, not personal ability can be swayed.
Being able to do the work of benefiting the country and the people in accordance with the times and the situation is what people with a sense of responsibility should do in this era.
