On July 28, 2003, Wu Shengming, who was 72 years old, was finally released after completing his sentence. The moment she walked out of prison, huafa was full of hair, and she couldn't help but burst into tears. However, at this time, her husband had eloped with the little nanny, and her daughter had also committed suicide, and she was homeless, and her later life was very sad to think about. However, I did not expect that Wu Shengming was not depressed, but re-started a business, started from scratch, and finally became a multi-millionaire. So, how did she do it?
Looking back at the first half of Wu Shengming's life, her fate is also quite legendary.
In 1933, Wu Shengming was born in Shengzhou, Zhejiang Province, to a family of merchants who had been engaged in business for generations.
However, the wealth of the family did not make the family happy. Although Wu Shengming's father did not have to say anything about business, he was lustful by nature, so the wind and affair account was never broken. Her mother often quarreled with her father for this reason, and finally when she was 2 years old, her unbearable mother simply abandoned the family and remarried in Taiwan. Since then, Wu Shengming has never seen his mother again.
The mother's shocking behavior humiliated the extended family. And Wu Shengming's father, because he felt that his face was dull, simply left home to buy a villa in Shanghai and lived a life of drunken gold fans in the Ten Mile Ocean Farm.
As a result, Wu Shengming lost the love of her parents, and she has been living with her grandparents ever since.
After all, it is a large family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and when Wu Shengming was young, she received strict tutoring. For example, you can't eat and spit your mouth, and you have rules when you speak... Whenever she made a mistake in her behavior, she would be severely punished by her grandfather. But it honed her character and made her more resilient.
For Wu Shengming, one of her favorite things is to go to the family shop to see the adults doing business. At that time, the family's business was doing well, and every street was their shop, there were rice shops, there were medicine shops, there were cloth shops, and so on. Wu Shengming often sits in the shop to watch the adults do business, how do they buy goods? And in order to make more profits, how to do promotions. Wu Shengming learned a lot of business from a young age.
However, the peaceful life did not last long, and when Wu Shengming was 12 years old, her father returned with his stepmother.
It turned out that the father was the master and gave Wu Shengming to the son of the county magistrate. The county magistrate's son was ten years older than Wu Shengming. Because he was worried that his grandfather would obstruct him, when Wu Shengming went out, he had Wu Shengming forcibly carried Wu Shengming into the low palanquin that had been prepared, and then sent all the way to the county magistrate's house.
Unexpectedly, someone quickly told Wu Shengming's grandfather about the robbery. The grandfather knew that it was irretrievable, so he had to consult with the county magistrate, and Wu Shengming was fostered in the county magistrate's house. The study life can not treat her badly, and then stay at a marriageable age and then round the house. At the same time, Wu Shengming's grandfather also gave the county magistrate 30 acres of land and 3,000 pieces of ocean, claiming that this was Wu Shengming's living expenses.
In the blink of an eye, by 1949, 16-year-old Wu Shengming had grown into a big girl, and the county magistrate and grandfather had discussed marriage. But Wu Shengming, who was educated in new ideas, was very disgusted with arranged marriages, so she decided to run away from marriage.
Because Wu Shengming also lived in the county magistrate's house for several years, coupled with her intelligence and well-behaved, her mother-in-law loved her very much. So she told her mother-in-law that she was going to Shaoxing to pick up some new clothes for herself and buy some rouge gouache and the like.
The mother-in-law did not suspect it, and gave her a little money to buy back.
After Wu Shengming arrived in Shaoxing, she thought that there were many people in the big city and there were many opportunities, so she bought a ticket to Shanghai and began her escape journey.
After arriving in Shanghai, Wu Shengming had to look around for work in order to survive. But because she is small and weak, there are not many jobs she can find. Fortunately, she had learned needlework from her mother-in-law, so she could only work as a maid for a rich family.
From miss Wu family to maid, although the change of identity is very different, and the maid's work is trivial and hard, Wu Shengming does not regret his decision.
However, over time, Wu Shengming felt that it was not a matter of doing so all the time. Suddenly, she thought of an adopted son that her grandmother had adopted, who was now an officer in Xi'an. Earlier at home, Wu Shengming helped his adoptive mother write him a letter, so he still remembers his address. So Wu Shengming quit his job as a maid and boarded the train to Xi'an.
Fortunately, Wu Shengming found the officer. When the officer heard about her encounter, he was also quite sorry, so he placed her in the garrison dormitory and arranged for her to continue her studies at the academy.
Over time, Wu Shengming actually developed a relationship with a military doctor who was 12 years older than her.
Soon, the officer sensed her closeness to the medic. However, the officer did not approve of their being together, but instead wanted to marry Wu Shengming to an aide-de-camp who had followed him for many years.
In order to cut off Wu Shengming's relationship with the military doctor, the officer managed to transfer the military doctor to Beijing. The sudden departure of the military doctor caused Wu Shengming to clash with the officer. In a fit of rage, she left Xi'an and returned to Shaoxing.
Although he was close to home, Wu Shengming did not dare to go home when he thought of running away from marriage. So she used her savings over the years to open a small department store in Shaoxing.
After all, starting a business is not easy, and Wu Shengming's business is not ideal at the beginning. Fortunately, she had a brain, and at her insistence, the business in the store slowly improved.
At this time, Wu Shengming met a man 7 years younger than her, Zhang Siyuan.
Zhang Siyuan is also a person who does small business, and after learning about Wu Shengming's experience, he admired Wu Shengming. So one after the other, the two became friends.
Soon after, Zhang Siyuan proposed to Wu Shengming, but Wu Shengming thought he was young and rejected him.
After another 3 years, Wu Shengming is 32 years old. Although her business is getting more and more prosperous, her personal problems have never been solved. At this time, Zhang Siyuan proposed to Wu Shengming again, and he confessed that he had no ability, but he could be good to Wu Shengming for a lifetime.
In Wu Shengming's view, Zhang Siyuan's feelings for him have been the same for ten years, which is simply a world away from his father. Touched, she did not take into account the inappropriate age, so the two received a marriage license.
After marriage, Wu Shengming thought that it was difficult for small shops to have big business. In order to live a good life in the future, she took the store out and took her husband to Xi'an again, where she opened a Shanghai hotel. However, because of too much hard work, Wu Shengming, who was pregnant, actually miscarried.
Despite the misfortune, but the business can not be left behind, Wu Shengming strong spirit continues to run the business of the hotel, after which Wu Shengming has been pregnant with two children, but unfortunately failed to keep.
Seeing that he is 40 years old, in order to have a child, accompanied by Zhang Siyuan, Wu Shengming searched for a famous doctor, hoping to have the opportunity to get pregnant again.
Although he sought medical treatment and suffered a lot, it was fortunate that Wu Shengming finally wanted to get pregnant again.
This time, Wu Shengming did not dare to be sloppy, she handed over all the business matters to Zhang Siyuan, and she was at ease to raise a baby at home. After spending 9 months in such a panic, Wu Shengming finally gave birth to his daughter Zhang Yan.
In the early 1980s, with the introduction of the reform and opening up policy, Wu Shengming, who had already moved to Zhengzhou, quickly seized the business opportunity and opened a trading company.
At this time, Wu Shengming was bent on making a lot of money and letting his daughter live the best life. So she wholesaled small commodities such as socks and umbrellas produced in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then sold them to small cities with closed traffic. Don't see that the hands are small things, but because of the large amount and low price, Wu Shengming has made some money.
Soon after, televisions and tape recorders became the favorite of consumers, so she went to Guangzhou to wholesale tape recorders and black-and-white televisions at low prices, and then sold them at high prices.
In addition, Wu Shengming also started a steel, machinery, construction, chemical and other aspects of the business, with the business getting bigger and bigger, Wu Shengming only took less than 4 years to earn tens of millions of assets. She not only became the first to get rich, but also became a well-known rich woman at that time.
In 1984, Wu Shengming's daughter celebrated her 10th birthday, and Wu Shengming, who loved her daughter, threw 200,000 yuan to celebrate her. That birthday party became a sensation in the local area for a while.
However, Wu Shengming, who has unlimited scenery, does not know that a prison disaster has befallen her a year later.
It turned out that although Wu Shengming had become a multimillionaire, her greed was getting bigger and bigger. In order to collect money, she actually smuggled 48 high-end cars from Hong Kong. Moreover, she smuggled a shipment of very expensive fabrics from Taiwan.
However, due to the huge amount, Wu Shengming had no time to sell the goods, and she was arrested by the public security organs.
Due to the huge amount of money involved, Wu Shengming was eventually sentenced to a suspended death sentence for "smuggling and contract fraud". And his tens of millions of assets were also confiscated by the state.
After being imprisoned, Wu Shengming was very calm. She immediately thought of her poor daughter, so she kept filing complaints. In the end, after several retrials, her sentence was finally changed from a suspended death sentence to life imprisonment.
At this time, Wu Shengming received a divorce agreement from Zhang Siyuan. It turned out that before she went to prison, Zhang Siyuan had an improper relationship with her daughter's nanny. After her accident, Zhang Siyuan sent his daughter to the uncle's house in the countryside, while he eloped with the nanny to Anhui.
The betrayal of her husband disappointed Wu Shengming, and her daughter became Wu Shengming's only hope for an early release from prison.
Since then, Wu Shengming has been active in prison, and she often enlightens inmates who can't open. As a result of her good performance, her life sentence was commuted to fixed-term imprisonment.
Just when Wu Shengming was looking forward to seeing his daughter one day, unfortunate news came again. Her daughter committed suicide in despair after hearing from her uncle that she had been sentenced to life imprisonment.
This news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made Wu Shengming suddenly lose hope of life. She stole a blade from the sewing room and prepared to commit suicide. As a result, he was discovered by the discipline, and after constant persuasion by the discipline and the prisoners, Wu Shengming gradually changed his mind.
After that, Wu Shengming, while undergoing labor reform, began to write an autobiographical novel based on herself, "Prison Road". After the book was completed, it was photographed by a director, so it was adapted into a movie. After the release of the movie, it once attracted the attention of many people to Wu Shengming.
Considering that Wu Shengming has been active in prison, the prison has reduced her sentence 9 times. Eventually, after 18 spring and autumn seasons, she finally regained her freedom in 2003.
After being released from prison, 72-year-old Wu Shengming returned to Zhengzhou, where she was registered, to earn a living, and with the help of the neighborhood committee, she found a job as a public toilet cleaner, earning 400 yuan a month.
Wu Shengming worked very seriously, and because she was very diligent, the public toilets were always dusty.
A year later, Wu Shengming was named "Zhengzhou Excellent Cleaner".
Because Wu Shengming's experience is quite legendary, it has attracted many reporters to interview her. The most she said was that for the sake of her daughter, she also had to make a comeback. Not only to have her own career, but also to use the money she earns to build a nursing home, so that the elderly who are not with her children can live a carefree life there.
Who knows, this word has attracted a liar named Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing said that like Wu Shengming, he is interested in creating a nursing home. Now he has dozens of acres of vineyards in Xiangfan, and they can operate them in partnership.
Wu Shengming, who was anxious to do business, soon after contacting Zhang Jing, handed over the borrowed 200,000 yuan to him, which was considered to be a shareholding. Who knows, Zhang Jing also cheated 700,000 yuan from her friends behind her back and disappeared.
Although in the end, Wu Shengming found Zhang Jing through the public security bureau, 900,000 yuan had been squandered by him.
In 2006, with the help of well-wishers, Wu Shengming decided to go to Yangling, Shaanxi Province, alone to contract vineyards.
After several years of hard work, Wu Shengming not only founded Yangling Hongyang Fruit Industry Technology Co., Ltd., Xingnong Technology Co., Ltd., but also opened several breeding chicken factories.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Shengming is 80 years old, and she has become a multi-millionaire again through hard work.
After having enough capital, Wu Shengming handed over the hard-working company to others to take care of for her, and she went to build a nursing home and became the dean.
