No one would have thought that a person could embark on the road to prosperity with ten yuan, but Wang Wenyin, who is known as the "world's bronze king", did it, and he became a well-deserved self-reliant entrepreneur with his own hands.
There are countless rich people in China, but often these people have strong family backgrounds and are not really self-made, but Wang Wenyin has a much lower starting point than them, because he is a figure who came out of the countryside step by step.
If there is no money, try to earn it, if there is no interpersonal relationship, then desperately run the business, in the critical stage of entrepreneurship, he has relied on his keen mind and repeatedly tried to exclude the crowd to seek greater development for the company.
So what are the legends of Wang Wenyin? What kind of experience made him the "Bronze King of the World"?
Restricted from high consumption, the "Copper King" broke into the public eye
On August 31, 2023, Shenzhen Zhengwei Group received a consumption restriction order, and the issuer was the Zaozhuang Intermediate People's Court, which involved Wang Wenyin, a legal person of Zhengwei Group.
It is reported that Zhengwei Group has always attracted the attention of all walks of life, because its annual revenue once surpassed many well-known companies such as Huawei and Tencent, and even it has been sitting on the top of the Fortune Global 500 for 11 consecutive years.
However, although Zhengwei Group far exceeds domestic enterprises, the outside world's evaluation of it has formed a polarized situation, and its high annual revenue is indeed an indisputable fact, but the company's "gold content" has also been repeatedly questioned.
According to the company's official website, Zhengwei Group is mainly a high-tech group dominated by a new generation of electronic information industry chain, which has been rising in the field of new metal materials, even if you look at the world, it is also an absolutely eye-catching existence.
Especially since 2013, Zhengwei Group's expansion speed has shown an impressive situation, and in a very short period of time, it has won as many as 44 industrial park projects, including Lanzhou and Zhengzhou.
However, the reason for the restriction on high consumption this time was once jaw-dropping, because this was a contract dispute with China Construction Eighth Engineering Bureau, which clearly means that Zhengwei Group failed to pay 100 million yuan on schedule.
After this matter was exposed, people familiar with the matter immediately learned that Zhengwei Group's revenue in 2022 was as high as 600 billion yuan, isn't this 100 million yuan of funds a matter of hand-to-hand?
Soon, Wang Wenyin, a legal person of Zhengwei Group, was also pushed to the cusp, and if this matter is verified to be true, then the court will fine him and even pursue his higher legal responsibility.
After the matter was exposed, the "world copper king" Wang Wenyin did not respond immediately, and his last appearance was in late August 2023, and the performance of Zhengwei Group in the first half of the year was not too satisfactory, so the result of this matter is also imaginative.
And according to later reports, Zhengwei Group is a high-risk enterprise with constant lawsuits, and in all the disputes, most of them are linked to monetary issues such as not paying the project on time.
Restricting high consumption is still a secondary matter, and Zhengwei Group is also facing a series of high-risk status quos such as equity freezing and private lending.
But just when the outside world thought that Zhengwei Group and Wang Wenyin, who were at the center of public opinion, would "fall" about this, a statement issued by Zhengwei Group on September 4 broke the speculation and gave a detailed response to the matter.
"After friendly consultation between the two sides, the relevant impact has been lifted", this statement issued by Zhengwei Company gave an explanation to the majority of netizens and responded positively to the litigation problems between its company and the project.
Soon Nanduwan Finance also reported the incident, and said that the court had revoked the high consumption restrictions on legal persons, which shows that Zhengwei Group has pulled out in this whirlpool.
But as a result, the name Wang Wenyin has also broken into the field of vision of more people, after all, this person has always been very low-key, can be said to be a "hidden rich" in China, and his history has also become a topic of conversation.
It stands to reason that he was born in a rural area, and his starting point is much lower than that of the bosses of many listed companies, and the reason why his fate can take such a big turn has to start with an admission notice.
The mixed notice became a major turning point in fate
Wang Wenyin, who was born in 1968 in rural Anqing City, Anhui Province, has been dealing with poverty since he was a child, because of the remoteness of the countryside, he does not have too many opportunities, but he has earned too many opportunities for himself, but he has always had the determination to change the status quo.
It is said that since ancient heroes have many tribulations, Wang Wenyin has deeply understood the meaning of the phrase "children from poor families become homemen early" since he was a child, whether it is the sowing of crops in the field or the task of cutting hogweed in the mountains, he has done it very well since he was a child.
However, he also knew in his heart that no matter how good the farm work was, he would always live a life facing the loess with his back to the sky, and in order to change the status quo, he pinned all his hopes on studying, and secretly vowed in his heart to leave the isolated countryside with his relatives.
The gears of fate began to turn in 1989, before Wang Wenyin always put in more effort than others in school, and the hard work paid off, and this year he ushered in his acceptance letter, and the sender was Nanjing University.
21-year-old Wang Wenyin held the notice in his hand and sighed with emotion, in those days, a college student in the village was a new thing for everyone, but after the joy, the family felt more helpless.
This helplessness mainly came from tuition fees, on the one hand, the hope of getting out of the mountains, on the other hand, the current situation of poverty, and the parents also faced a dilemma at that time, but fortunately, in the end, they chose to send Wang Wenyin out of their hometown.
At that time, his parents went door-to-door to borrow money to make up for tuition, and it was precisely because of seeing his parents' backs that Wang Wenyin became more determined to get ahead, and with this determination, he entered the campus.
But Wang Wenyin was not very outstanding in college, and compared with some other classmates with excellent family backgrounds, he even felt that he was insignificant, becoming more and more reticent and focusing all his attention on his studies.
Wang Wenyin, who soon had been at the top of the ranks, was well known by the teachers at the school, and after graduating from university in 1993, he was assigned to work at Shanghai Gaoqiao Petrochemical Company, which was considered an iron rice bowl by many people at the time.
However, Wang Wenyin did not feel ecstatic, because in his opinion, this job was completely wrong with the astronomy he originally studied, and he could see his future at a glance in the post, and he knew very well that this was not what he wanted.
So Wang Wenyin finally gritted his teeth and resigned from his job, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to get ahead, he had to fight to break in, and immediately came to the strange Shenzhen alone with four hundred yuan, hoping to find greater opportunities.
But then again, there are many people like Wang Wenyin who want to fly on the branches and become rich overnight, and when he was in Shenzhen, he wavered in his decision, because there were people looking for jobs everywhere.
Even soon after, he found himself in a situation of "high or low", because good companies can't look down on himself, and he can't put down his heart to accept jobs that don't require any education, after all, many jobs are not even as good as what he originally quit.
But in the end, he still lost to the cold reality, in order to find a job he floated in Shenzhen for a long time, and finally only had ten yuan left on him, Wang Wenyin from a confident highly educated person, instantly became a migrant worker in urgent need of a job.
So he had to throw his diploma aside, find a coolie for himself, and his "arrogant" temperament was gradually polished during the work, and he gradually became a storekeeper with a serious work attitude.
This also means that Wang Wenyin's work is not only much easier, but even his salary is much higher, and at the same time, he also secretly gives himself a task in his heart, and he must mix up some people before returning to his hometown.
But he didn't know it at the time, and it was precisely because this job pointed out the direction for his later life, and the experience accumulated over time became a solid foundation for him to be able to go smoothly on the road to entrepreneurship many years later.
Although the warehouse manager may seem like an insignificant position, it is not a low requirement for the person sitting in this position, and often the administrator has to know very clearly where the coded materials are placed.
Before that, many administrators had low work efficiency because of insufficient memory, but they did not expect that after Wang Wenyin took over, there was a big reversal, which also made him get the attention and attention of the leadership.
In just one year, Wang Wenyin became the assistant of the leader, and during the next work period, he was full of enthusiasm, giving full play to his advantages, from the general manager to the director of the factory, and from the director to the general manager.
With the change of his position, the salary is also rising, and Wang Wenyin is already a successful person in the eyes of outsiders, but at this time he once again made a surprising decision to resign.
At that time, in the eyes of many people, Wang Wenyin was undoubtedly playing with fire and self-immolation, but only he understood in his heart that there was a sacrifice to gain, so he resolutely gave up his million annual salary and embarked on the road of entrepreneurship again.
Twice to overcome the crowd, to survive in the crisis
In 1995, Wang Wenyin formally submitted his resignation to the company, and in the eyes of everyone's surprise, he resolutely left the position of general manager that countless people yearned for, and soon after a company called Zhiwei Industry was established in Shenzhen.
Wang Wenyin is undoubtedly a very smart person, because he did not choose to start another stove and did the business he just gave up, and the main business of Zhiwei Co., Ltd. is power cord trading, which makes Wang Wenyin, who is well versed in the doorway, have enough confidence.
The company's initial stage was the darkest moment of Wang Wenyin's life, and the funds were always in a very tight state, because at first the company had to pay first when picking up the goods from the supplier, and after sending the goods to the customer, it had to collect the money later.
Although this is only a short time difference, if there is a mistake in any link in the middle, then the company will fall into a situation of "no recovery", so Wang Wenyin has to personally keep an eye on suppliers and customers.
Of course, Wang Wenyin also knows that networking is crucial on the road to business, so he desperately ran the business, and as the business became bigger and bigger, his industrial chain was also successfully opened up and gradually grasped the initiative.
It is worth mentioning that after the company stabilized, Wang Wenyin made an intriguing test, that is, deliberately released fake news, claiming that he was facing liquidation due to defaulting on loans to suppliers.
For this reason, many originally close partners have come to the door to break off diplomatic relations with Zhiwei Company, and this is exactly the situation that Wang Wenyin wants to see, because his purpose in implementing "simulated business failure" is to screen out trustworthy allies.
In 1999, Wang Wenyin and the factory that never abandoned the company, jointly established Zhengwei International Group, with one billion yuan of assets to continuously extend his own industry, soon his products were exported abroad.
In 2003, Zhengwei Group has been in the forefront of many enterprises, due to the improvement of the industrial chain it has become one of the largest power cord manufacturers in China, even if you look at the international scale.
However, the outbreak of SARS this year has shaken the foundation of many enterprises, and the decline in the price of various resources has made many companies face bankruptcy, but Wang Wenyin smelled business opportunities at this time, and he resolutely bought several copper-tungsten mines.
At that time, both the partners and his family felt that Wang Wenyin was doing something wrong, because the mine did not help the power line company much, but this behavior, which was opposed by everyone, later became a magic weapon to save the company.
Sure enough, after the SARS passed, Zhengwei Group was more or less affected, but just when the company's atmosphere was sluggish, copper-tungsten ore was very popular in the market, and even its price doubled.
This made Zhengwei Group see hope, and while other companies were thinking hard about how to recover their losses, Zhengwei Group had already made a lot of money because of Wang Wenyin's foresight.
In 2005, Wang Wenyin learned that there was an investment promotion project in Tongling, Anhui Province, and the state-owned mining company that he had taken over was looking for a new successor because of insufficient capacity, which once again made Wang Wenyin smell business opportunities.
To know that the reason why Tongling is well known, to a large extent is in the word "copper", in Wang Wenyin's view of the development prospects of this project is excellent, but the investment fund is very high, which makes many partners stand up against it.
But Wang Wenyin firmly believed his own ideas, once again tried to exclude the public to include the project, and it took only two years for the first phase of the Quanwei Copper Technology project of Zhengwei's subsidiary Quanwei Copper Technology to start construction, and then the title of "World Copper King" proved that his choice was wise.
So far, Wang Wenyin has completely realized his entrepreneurial dream, whether it is SARS in 2003 or the global financial crisis in 2008, these big changes have become trivial things in Wang Wenyin's eyes.
To a large extent, this is due to his ability to plan ahead, his steady entrepreneurial style is the biggest difference between him and other entrepreneurs, and Wang Wenyin is a leader among self-made entrepreneurs.
Focusing on the fact that Wang Wenyin's business has become bigger and bigger, it has already spread all over the world, and his name has appeared on the list of major rich people all year round, which can be said to be a proper winner in life.
The most valuable thing is that Wang Wenyin has not forgotten his hometown after becoming rich, and in order to change the lives of his fellow villagers, he has always attached great importance to poverty alleviation and invested a lot of money to help with education.
Including when a major flood occurred in Henan in 2021, Wang Wenyin also paid for flood control materials at his own expense, and a series of actions show that he has a heart to give back to the society and the people from beginning to end.
At the same time, we can also see a strong quality in Wang Wenyin, he can enjoy the ideal life that everyone yearns for, and can also break through himself in suffering, perhaps because he has the courage to turn over against the wind, and finally can achieve the legend of life.
