In 1985, a man went to Cao Dewang's office and said confidently, "I have a way to help you increase your production capacity by 10 times." Cao Dewang did not dare to believe it, so he proposed to visit his factory, did not expect that the man actually took him to an abandoned warehouse, Cao Dewang just wanted to scold, the result of the man's words, let Cao Dewang be convinced!
In China, although there are many people who make more money than Cao Dewang, there is no entrepreneur who donates more than him, so far, his cumulative donations have exceeded 11 billion, and of these 11 billion, only 500,000 are donated to his hometown, but even so, the hometown people still have no reason, because they drove Cao Dewang out.
Born in 1946, Cao Dewang was originally from a shangjia family, and later because of the turmoil of the times, Cao Dewang's father sold his family property, and the family took a boat back to Fujian from Shanghai.
After returning to Fuqing, Fujian Province, the penniless Cao Dewang's family was often bullied by others in the village, because the family was poor, and cao Dewang did not officially go to school until he was 9 years old, but this not easy opportunity to go to school was terminated here at the age of 14 because of poverty.
After dropping out of school, more and more people bullied Cao Dewang. In order to supplement the family, he sold tobacco, pulled a scooter, and sold fruit, but even so, it was still a poor jingle. At that time, everyone laughed at his lack of success, although he also wanted to refute it, but once he refuted it, he would be beaten by the group.
In desperation, Cao Dewang would rather accept the beatings of society than leave this humiliating hometown. After arriving in the society, Cao Dewang was determined to make some achievements and make everyone look at him with admiration. It was not until after contracting the Alpine Glass Factory that Cao Dewang's life achieved a counterattack, step by step to become today's Fuyao, becoming the "Glass King".
Once, when Cao Dewang took his mother to play, he accidentally found that a piece of automotive glass actually cost thousands of yuan, at that time he saw the development prospects of automotive glass, determined to do Chinese his own automotive glass, but what puzzled Cao Dewang was that due to the single mold, there were too many automotive glass models, and every production had to reset the mold, which greatly affected the production capacity.
I know that one day a man said to Cao Dewang: "I have a way to increase production capacity by 10 times." Let Cao Dewang see hope, he proposed to visit the man's factory, who thought, the man actually took him to an abandoned warehouse, Cao Dewang just wanted to get angry, the result of the man pointed to the mold on the shelf and said: "This is a universal mold, which can solve the problem of low production capacity." ”
With this mold, Cao Dewang's automotive glass has become bigger and bigger, and to this day it has become the world's largest automotive glass manufacturer. In 2005, Cao Dewang also won the "EY Global Entrepreneur award" won by only 5 people in the world, becoming a world-class entrepreneur.
Cao Dewang has no academic qualifications and no background, how did he step by step towards success? In fact, mainly due to his good at finding opportunities, but also in his hard work, from his successful experience, it is not difficult to find that he has the following qualities:

Two: the vision is "poisonous"
As a businessman, Cao Dewang is very far-sighted, he has always been very clear: only by mastering the core technology, the enterprise can develop for a long time, so in the case of everyone's opposition, he still takes people abroad, learns advanced glass technology, and insists on manufacturing Chinese his own automotive glass.
Third: The pattern is large and the goal is long-term
So far, Cao Dewang has donated more than 12 billion yuan, which is unattainable by many entrepreneurs in China who make more money than him; in Cao Dewang's view, wealth comes from society, and it should be given back to the society as much as possible, which is the sense of social responsibility that an entrepreneur should have. This pattern and mentality is also destined to fuyao group to succeed.
Four: focus, perseverance
Cao Dewang believes that only the physical manufacturing industry is the foundation of the country's social and economic development, so no matter how the society develops, he always insists on making glass, never involves the Internet and real estate and other industries, industry to serve the country is his lifelong dream, and the facts have proved that Cao Dewang did it, and even did a good job, even if the United States fights anti-dumping lawsuits, it is also to win the United States, but also let the United States do advertising for free for themselves.
In Cao Dewang's heart, since he is an entrepreneur, he should have the responsibility and responsibility that an entrepreneur should have, not only to consider the development of the enterprise, but also to always put the interests of the country and the people in the first place, so as to be worthy of the title of "entrepreneur".
In order to share his life experience, business experience and understanding of life with more young people, so that they can take fewer detours, 70-year-old Cao Dewang decided to write an autobiography. Although many people proposed to ghostwrite for him, but he rejected it, he always felt that the autobiography was only written in the first person, sincere enough, to express his emotions completely, and in doing so, it was also a kind of respect for the reader.
