Seven out of ten of the richest people in the Philippines are Chinese. Almost everyone of these Chinese rich people has their own self-made story, and everyone has their own characteristics and labels. If it comes to "hard work" and "talent", there may be many corresponding Chinese rich people, but when it comes to "cutting the door", it is easy to think of Wu Yihui in the Philippines. He is best known for the fact that his own daughter was kidnapped, but he refused to pay the ransom.
The Philippines is a rich man
Wu Yihui was born in Gulangyu Island and immigrated to the Philippines with his parents at the age of one. At the age of twelve or thirteen, Wu Yihui's father unfortunately passed away, which changed the happy family and the family's situation took a sharp turn.
Wu Yihui has changed from a rich man who used to be picked up and dropped off by luxury car to a poor person who even has a problem with his basic life. In order to reduce the pressure of life for her mother, from the age of fifteen, Wu Yihui began to try to sell some small groceries to supplement the family. With his business talent and his own efforts, the small business is getting better and better.
Towards the end of World War II, Wu Yihui resolutely hoarded a large number of goods and traveled to other parts of the Philippines to do business. After the end of World War II, Wu Yihui relied on his savings accumulated over the years to go to the United States to buy second-hand products and resell them in the Philippines. In 1954, many multinational businesses were affected by import controls, but Wu Yihui found new business opportunities in corn starch production. Wu Yihui used the loan to set up a food company, and thanks to his struggle, this small food company slowly developed into one of the top food companies in the Philippines.
At the same time, Wu Yihui's vision has also spread to other business areas. Wu Yihui, who has been in the shopping mall for decades, has finally created his own business empire. He summed up his success in being determined, determined and persistent, as well as the integrity, frankness and integrity of his personality and the ability to regulate the overall situation.
Refused to pay her daughter's ransom
In addition to Wu Yihui's fame in the outside world for his vast commercial territory, the most famous thing is that he slammed the door. When you go out to book a room, you can book a double bed, not a double bed room, lunch is often filled with peanuts and cheese, and the clothes are torn and continue to wear. Even when his own daughter was kidnapped, he directly expressed his refusal to pay the ransom to the kidnappers directly on the phone.
At that time, Wu Yihui's 20-year-old daughter Robina was kidnapped, and the kidnappers called and demanded that she pay 10 million yuan before she was released. But Wu Yihui scolded on the phone, saying that he could earn more than ten million in this time, and his daughter would take it away. When Robina heard this, she told the kidnappers that her father was very picky, and that his father only loved money and did not love himself. The kidnappers saw Robina's reaction and Wu Yihui's attitude on the phone, and they thought that Robina was very pitiful, so they sent her home.
But in fact, this is just the cooperation between Wu Yihui and her daughter under tacit understanding. Wu Yihui worries that if his concern for his daughter is too obvious, it will make the kidnappers more convinced of her daughter's value. And Robina also heard her father's intentions on the phone and cooperated perfectly with her father. In fact, if Wu Yihui really does not love her daughter, when her daughter is born, she will not be happy enough to use her daughter's name as the company name.
Strong patriotism
Wu Yihui was once asked that the most regrettable thing in his life was that he gave out not the regret of a certain business, but "he could not read and write Mandarin." Although he has lived in the Philippines since he can remember, Wu Yihui has never forgotten the Chinese feelings in his blood. Many of Wu Yihui's businesses were also in China in the later stages, and he would often return to China to see. And although there is no large-scale report, in fact, Wu Yihui has done a lot of public welfare projects in China.
Even if he has been abroad for many years, for Wu Yihui, China is still his roots. Even in the Philippines for decades, it did not dilute his homesickness.
As a business giant spanning many fields such as catering, aviation, and communications, Wu Yihui is undoubtedly a successful businessman. Even if the outside world has a view of him, only he knows that it is a frugal habit developed by the backwardness of the young family. Whether it is to his family or the public welfare undertakings of the outside world, he has never been stingy. Whether it is Lao Wu's business experience or patriotic feelings, it is very worthy of our younger generations to learn and learn from.
