There is a Fujian boy Qiu Qiguang, when the poorest move bricks to earn two yuan a day, sleep under the overpass, by his girlfriend's parents to abandon the family poor;
When he was rich, he opened several companies, worth more than 100 million, interviewed by major media, and donated more than 10 million.
However, the world is unpredictable, this only primary school diploma, after many years of successful counterattack, he is facing bankruptcy, and he is also listed by the court as a dishonest executor.
In 1972, Qiu Qiguang was born in Peicai Village, Tongxian Township, Shanghang, Fujian Province.
Most of the villagers in this village live by farming, and Qiu Qiguang's parents are also hard-working farmers.
Although he was born as a farmer, Qiu Qiguang never wanted to do farm work like his parents all his life.
When he was a child, his parents took him to farm work, but Qiu Qiguang was reluctant to go.
The parents scolded: "You are so young, so lazy." ”
Qiu Qiguang was not convinced, and replied: "I can go to business and earn more money to invite people to do farm work." ”
But after all, sometimes he still has to obediently help.
When Qiu Qiguang was in the first year of junior high school, he heard that some people in his hometown had gone to Guangdong to do business and get rich, which made him have the idea of developing in Guangdong.
Therefore, before finishing junior high school, he dropped out of school and went out to work.
However, he was only 15 years old at the time, and no one wanted to take him there, so he had to stay in his hometown to work first.
After being introduced by the villagers, Qiu Qiguang came to the construction site to work, mainly responsible for moving bricks and painting mud on the walls.
Although it is very hard, it can earn 2 yuan a day, which is higher than the salary of other jobs.
After three or four months, his parents worried that the job was too hard and would affect his development, so they asked him to change to another job.
Introduced by his parents, Qiu Qiguang ran to a barbershop as an apprentice.
But there is no salary for apprenticeships, and Qiu Qiguang can only live on a little pocket money given by his master and parents.
On the way home from studying haircuts, Qiu Qiguang saw someone riding a bicycle on the road and was very envious.
At that time, a bicycle cost more than a hundred yuan, and Qiu Qiguang had no money to buy it at all, and could only watch with his eyes. He secretly swore in his heart: I will buy one in the future.
But when he did not know when he would be able to achieve his wish, the young Qiu Qiguang gave up learning haircuts, ran to the construction site to earn money, and bought a bicycle with the money he earned.
After earning money to buy a bicycle, Qiu Qiguang ran back to the village to open a barber shop, and in order to make more money, he also went to the kindergarten to substitute lessons.
After half a year of driving, Qiu Qiguang stopped working again, feeling that he could not earn any money.
You may think that he changes jobs very often, but at that age, it was normal.
He and his cousin ran to work in the next county, and it was at this time that he reaped the rewards of love.
On a trip out to play, Qiu Qiguang met a sweet-looking girl who was a conductor in a video hall.
The two were very close and soon fell in love.
However, the girl's parents felt that Qiu Qiguang's family conditions were not good and strongly opposed them being together.
There is a saying that love is unstoppable.
Qiu Qiguang's girlfriend ran directly to his village in order to be with him, and did not go home.
The woman's parents really had no choice but to acquiesce to the marriage.
Because he was looked down upon by his wife's parents because he had no money, this made his desire to make money even stronger.
It's just that making money is so easy, and being too anxious often backfires.
Qiu Qiguang and his wife went to the county town together to sell clothes, and they lost a lot of money and owed thousands of yuan to others.
Originally thinking of doing some business, so that my father-in-law and mother-in-law could see it, it was more difficult.
At that time, it happened to be the New Year, and many people asked Qiu Qiguang about the money they owed.
But his pockets were empty, and Qiu Qiguang could only take the chickens and ducks killed in the New Year with his wife to give them to people, and then discussed with the other party: "I'm sorry, the money owed to you is not paid back now, and next year we will definitely pay you back when we earn money." ”
Originally a festive Spring Festival, Qiu Qiguang faced cold winds and ridicule.
At this time, his wife silently guarded him.
In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, before the New Year was over, Qiu Qiguang took the borrowed 75 yuan and came to Guangdong East to work.
A drama that changed his destiny began.
When he came to Guangdong, he first went to Huizhou with his father to work, and half a year later, he moved to Shenzhen to dig wells.
In 1993, he came to Dongguan to find work at the construction site.
I went back and forth to 3 places, and the work was particularly frequent.
But as he grew older, his wife gave birth to a child, and the family responsibility was greater, Qiu Qiguang gradually stabilized.
In the factory in Dongguan, Qiu Qiguang does almost everything, cement workers, pig feeders, painters and so on.
Later, people in the factory who were familiar with him directly called him "universal worker" and would ask him for help in anything they encountered. Qiu Qiguang is also very enthusiastic and will try to do everything well.
Because Qiu Qiguang is usually friendly and works well, the workers have a good impression of Qiu Qiguang.
A co-worker told Qiu Qiguang: "My brother has contracted a waterworks project, and I can ask him if he would like to contract some work for you." ”
Qiu Qiguang was very excited and followed his co-workers to his brother's place.
In front of his brother, the co-workers kept saying good things for Qiu Qiguang.
Under the persuasion of the workers, his brother finally agreed and gave part of the work package to Qiu Qiguang.
Qiu Qiguang was very happy, he returned to his original place and found a few workers who got along well to help.
At this time, Qiu Qiguang's wife was pregnant.
Because the debt had not been paid off at that time, Qiu Qiguang had no money on his body and could only sleep with his wife in the broken shed.
But what is even more difficult is that in the end, even the broken shed cannot be lived.
At that time, Qiu Qiguang and his wife had not yet gone through the marriage procedures, and they belonged to the unmarried pregnancy, so they were afraid that the family planning office would come to check.
And just when his wife was pregnant, the local government suddenly came to check the fertility of the floating population.
Qiu Qiguang was frightened, and immediately moved out of the shed with his wife and went to live in the pool that had just been built in the water plant.
At night, Qiu Qiguang looked at the stars in the sky, and then watched his wife sleeping on the cement floor, and felt very ashamed of her, and secretly made up his mind: I must work hard to make money and let my wife live a good life.
After the factory was finished, Qiu Qiguang got a lot more paid than usual, which made him feel that only contractors could make more money.
He began to figure out how to take over the next project.
Once, Qiu Qiguang went downstairs and found someone decorating and painting, and he was overjoyed: If I could contract the office painting project of this factory, I would be able to make more money.
But Qiu Qiguang is not very good at paint.
He thought about it and decided he could start with paint.
He found a worker who was painting and said, "Can you send me a bucket of paint?" There is work in the factory where I work, and I can introduce you to do it. ”
When the other party heard that there was a life, he agreed.
After Qiu Qiguang got this bucket of paint, he taught himself to make a paint sample, and rushed to the boss with excitement and told him: "The outside price is 2 yuan a square meter, I only need 1 yuan 5 is enough." ”
The boss saw that there was a cheaper one and agreed.
Qiu Qiguang got this contracted project and made a lot of money.
After that, he continued to go to factories, office buildings, and private households to contract paint jobs.
But these did not make Qiu Qiguang really rich, and he could only say that he earned a little more than the workers.
There is a saying that fate always favors people who work harder and more seriously.
In 1995, Qiu Qiguang met the noble man of his life.
This nobleman allowed Qiu Qiguang to form a primitive capital accumulation.
One day, Qiu Qiguang was busy with painting, and while cleaning up the site, a young man walked in and looked around.
Qiu Qiguang did not pay attention to him and continued to do his own work.
The young man appeared again and chatted with Qiu Qiguang, who was working, and the young man asked him: "You work so seriously, don't you go home for dinner so late?" ”
Qiu Qiguang did not ignore the stranger in front of him, and had a good attitude, telling him that he must clean up before he could go home.
However, what Qiu Qiguang did not expect was that the young man turned out to be the son of a big boss in Taiwan.
When he saw that Qiu Qiguang was working seriously, he recommended Qiu Qiguang to his father: "This person can do anything, and his work is not bad, and you have any job for him." ”
At that time, the Taiwanese boss happened to have a textile factory, and there were many projects that needed to be contracted.
After listening to his son's introduction, the Taiwanese boss found Qiu Qiguang and asked: "Will you solve the problem that the pumping water is not filtered cleanly?" ”
Qiu Qiguang saw that the business was coming, and quickly replied: "Yes, yes, a thousand yuan is enough." ”
The Taiwanese boss did not say a word and directly promised to give 7,000 yuan.
The boss saw Qiu Qiguang working cleanly, and successively recommended to him the work of repairing floor tiles, raising pigs, delivering goods, transporting cloth, packing canteens, repairing toilets in the bathroom, etc., and also called him "universal worker".
This year, Qiu Qiguang earned two or three hundred thousand yuan under the care of his boss, which was still in the last century.
After Qiu Qiguang earned money, he returned home to buy motorcycles, buy land, build a new house, and become a "successful person" in the village. After the success of his career, he often said to others: "The Taiwanese boss is his nobleman!" ”
With the endorsement of this Taiwanese boss, Qiu Qiguang's career became smoother and smoother, and in the next few years, he contracted many projects in other factories and earned nearly 1 million yuan.
It was also during these years that Qiu Qiguang discovered business opportunities.
This business opportunity is steel structure.
At that time, the Taiwanese boss wanted to build a tin shed passage between the two factories and let Qiu Qiguang do it.
The first time he came into contact with the steel structure, Qiu Qiguang was shocked, and used it to make a channel, which was convenient and fast, and advanced, and the market was blank.
So in 1999, Qiu Qiguang began to enter the steel structure industry.
But with no connections and no resources, it is not easy to find this kind of project.
Qiu Qiguang employs two employees, and his daily job is to send them to factories across the country through Yellow Pages telephones to see if anyone needs them.
Because Qiu Qiguang believes that thousands of copies are sent out, there will always be one or two families looking for them.
Although this method is very labor-intensive, the effect is still good.
In addition to the local factories in Dongguan, huizhou, Zhongshan and other places have people looking for Qiu Qiguang to make iron.
By 2001, Qiu Qiguang had made 20 million factories, and zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangshan and so on had business.
But soon, he had a problem.
With the increasing number of such engineering teams, they are becoming more and more irregular, and the state has taken measures to rectify the market, and many engineering teams with poor quality have been eliminated.
In order to keep up with the pace of the times, Qiu Qiguang returned to Fujian to register a construction company and obtained a third-class building qualification.
Although the steel structure makes money, it has a long period of time to withdraw funds.
Sometimes in order to take over the project, Qiu Qiguang has no money in his pocket, and he still has a hard scalp to invite guests to dinner.
When the partner and the client were eating delicious food in the restaurant, Qiu Qiguang ran outside to borrow money on the grounds that something was wrong.
Because he feels that socializing is Chinese culture, although tobacco and alcohol have an impact on the body, you can make a business by treating others with sincerity. Instead of doing it with a boxy contract, as foreigners do.
This way is that feelings become business, and the human touch is strong.
Treating customers, Qiu Qiguang is very sincere in addition to this, and there is another thing that makes customers even more impressed.
Once, a customer in the north ordered a batch of 6 million yuan of steel structures and negotiated to pay a deposit within 7 days.
However, the other party later appeared in various situations and did not pay the deposit within the specified time.
Coupled with that period, the price of raw materials per ton rose by more than 200 yuan.
In this way, Qiu Qiguang will lose hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Mr. Xia, who was in charge of this contract, immediately found the customer to negotiate.
The customer expressed understanding and promised to add more than 400,000 yuan.
After Mr. Xia finished talking, he was relieved.
But after Qiu Qiguang knew, he resolutely disagreed.
Xia Zong saw Qiu Qiguang say this, very incomprehensible, asked: "After the additional money, we still lost more than 100,000 yuan, not to mention that the other party was wrong first." ”
Qiu Qiguang patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Not every single business has to make money." On the surface we are losing money, but we have won customers. ”
Later, after the customer knew, he was very moved, became Qiu Qiguang's most stable customer, and also introduced many new customers to him, and praised: "Qiu Qiguang promised a thousand gold, would rather suffer losses than let us be deceived." ”
With the company's growing strength, Qiu Qiguang undertook the production project of the Four-dimensional Roller Coaster Track in the United States in 2010, which is the first four-dimensional roller coaster track in China.
After refining his main business, Qiu Qiguang's company embarked on a diversified layout, he developed green residences, opened the international market in just one year, and obtained national first-class qualifications. As a result, he became a local billionaire and a major taxpayer in Dongguan.
After the company grew large, in order to make up for the lack of management knowledge, Qiu Qiguang ran to study for the MBA course at Tsinghua University.
In terms of public welfare, he is also very enthusiastic, always actively participating in various charitable activities, and also set up an education foundation in his hometown, paying for the construction of schools and roads.
In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Qiu Qiguang took the lead in donating money and materials, and spent a high cost to install 10,000 sets of resettlement houses in the disaster area, and won the honor of "Advanced Individual in Earthquake Relief in Guangdong Province".
At the peak of his career, Qiu Qiguang did not live up to the original match.
Married for decades, he has never been separated from his wife except for business trips.
There is a saying that it is easy to start a business and difficult to keep a job.
After years of guarding the country, Qiu Qiguang's company was affected by the market and ushered in a crisis.
In July 2018, the First Court of Dongguan issued: Qiu Qiguang announced the bankruptcy and reorganization of the company.
Two years later, the court issued a final civil ruling, ruling that all companies under Qiu Qiguang's name should be consolidated and liquidated.
Subsequently, Qiu Qiguang was listed by the court as a dishonest executor.
A steel kingdom suddenly collapsed.
Regarding the reasons for bankruptcy, the answer given by Qiu Qiguang is only because of market changes, performance decline, and insufficient funds.
Qiu Qiguang, primary school diploma, came out of the society to do the hardest and most tired work, changed ten jobs, with hard-working, serious attitude, has been appreciated by the Taiwan boss, successfully formed the original capital accumulation;
After that, he seized the blue ocean market of steel structure and became a giant in the market, which was very difficult along the way.
His behavior hides the fact that most people are eager to succeed.
After his success, he did not forget to send his wife and give back to the society, which was admirable. But now because of the market downturn, it has collapsed and gone bankrupt, which is really impressive!
