Preface
What should a successful entrepreneur look like, especially in this era, many people are addicted to material desires and always feel that they can measure their social status by how much money they make, but a real entrepreneur should be social and understand the meaning of charity.
Zheng Daqing is such an entrepreneur who has always been wearing a grateful heart, when the villagers gave him enough 70 yuan for the journey, so that he could go out to explore, after he became famous, he brought a color TV back to the township, sent money to the villagers, and even rented a helicopter to let the villagers feel.
Give up the dream of being a writer
Zheng Daqing was born in 1959, at that time, every family in the countryside was not rich, not to mention that Zheng Daqing had 7 children in his family, and their lives would definitely be more difficult, but the only good thing was that Zheng Daqing's mother was very good to every child and loved all of them equally.
It is precisely because of the influence of his mother that Zheng Daqing has developed a very good character since he was a child, and he knows that if he wants to get out of the current predicament, he must have knowledge, so when he was able to study, he worked very hard, and his grades were always among the best.
But soon Zheng Daqing realized that his family could not afford a child who had been studying, so after graduating from junior high school, Zheng Daqing gave up the idea of continuing to study after many considerations, but in his heart, he was still very eager for knowledge.
In order to alleviate the burden of the family, the county was recruiting soldiers at that time, Zheng Daqing signed up for the army, when he was a soldier, Zheng Daqing had a more difficult time, the soldiers of that era were really running where they were needed, and when he was a soldier, Zheng Daqing had been staying in the desert area of Qinghai.
His position is a railroad soldier, but this is not a simple job, but a job full of dangers, which requires a long time to live alone in a deserted place, check whether there are other problems with the railway, this long-term solitary life, also makes Zheng Daqing more determined his character.
After coming out of the army, Zheng Daqing originally hoped to chase his dream, that is, to become a writer, he took the few money in his family to sell a lot of books and came back, wanting to create his own unique style of poetry, but because his own cultural literacy is not very high, so the manuscripts sent out at that time did not reply.
When Zheng Daqing was still working hard for his unattainable dream, another very serious blow came, that is, his mother, who had been loving him since he was a child, passed away.
Zheng Daqing also realized at this time that he could no longer live like this, since his dream of being a writer could not be realized, it was better to change a way out, and now the most urgent need to change is actually the environmental problem at home, and no money is the first place.
At that time, through the newspaper, Zheng Daqing learned that the outside world had undergone great changes, and the spring breeze of reform and opening up made many people begin to accumulate their first wealth during this time period.
Because of the reason he had stayed in Qinghai, Zheng Daqing felt that he was more familiar with the northwest, so what he wanted to go to at that time was actually the northwest, and he chose a province that seemed to have the greatest opportunity, Xinjiang, but Zheng Daqing at that time faced a very embarrassing problem, that is, there was no travel fee.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, there is no travel fee, no matter how many ambitions Zheng Daqing has in his heart, there is no chance to realize it, Zheng Daqing really has no choice, so he went to ask his father for help, after listening to Zheng Daqing's ideas, his father decided to support and help him.
So Zheng Daqing's father led him to go to the countryside to borrow money from door to door, and every time he said it, he had to tell the reason why Zheng Daqing wanted to leave.
The bumpy road to entrepreneurship
After inspecting the market, Zheng Daqing chose to go to the construction site as an ordinary worker, on the one hand, because he had been a soldier and was in good physical condition and could withstand this kind of manual labor.
On the other hand, if you go to a construction site as a worker, at least you don't have to worry too much about ordinary food and housing, although the food and housing will not be particularly good, but you can always pass the time with your co-workers, and it is also a good place to go.
After Zheng Daqing's work stabilized, he didn't just work here, Zheng Daqing is a person who must do one thing to the extreme, he hopes that he not only knows how to do it, but also understands the principle.
Therefore, at that time, Zheng Daqing began to learn Xi books related to construction sites, and his Xi learning ability was still very strong, but he lived a really hard life during that time, not only to spend physical strength, but also to spend mental power, but there was always a harvest for paying, and he earned 2,000 yuan in the first year.
This money seems to be insignificant now, but in the eighties at that time, it was definitely a lot of income, when Zheng Daqing left some living expenses for himself, he sent all the rest of the money back to his home, and told his father to return the seventy yuan of the villagers respectively.
When most people think that Zheng Daqing has mixed well, and thinks that he is estimated to have worked on a construction site for the rest of his life, Zheng Daqing made another decision that shocked everyone, he didn't want to be an ordinary worker, but decided to go it alone.
After a year, Zheng Daqing has accumulated some of his own contacts and mastered the technology, so when he said that he wanted to work alone, a few workers who usually have a good relationship with him, and some fellow villagers, all decided to follow him alone.
It was from this time that Zheng Daqing became a contractor and started his own entrepreneurial road, but this road was not smooth sailing, because this was his first time as a contractor, so he was not so cautious in handling things, which led to a big problem.
After they completed a project at that time, the project took Zheng Daqing and his workers almost a whole year, and when they thought they could settle with Party A, they found that Party A had already run away with the money, and the workers had completely worked in vain this year.
This incident was a very big blow to Zheng Daqing at that time, not only was he deceived and had no money, but he also felt very sorry for the workers who had been working with him, Zheng Daqing even wanted to commit suicide by lying on the rails, but in the end, it was the workers' trust in him that still pulled him back.
A group of them got together, lived very poorly, but also survived that winter, as the saying goes, the night before dawn is the darkest, after this incident, Zheng Daqing's entrepreneurial road began to become smoother.
In 1987, Zheng Daqing took over a project worth 130,000 yuan, the quality of his completion was very good, and he also got this money, which was a lot of money at that time, and the surrounding workers said that this was Zheng Daqing's credit, but Zheng Daqing knew that it was all because they were supporting him.
Return to your hometown and give back to your hometown
Zheng Daqing's next entrepreneurial road, although it was not smooth sailing, there were unfavorable investment situations along the way, but most of them were saved by him, and every crisis can be passed, which is definitely because of Zheng Daqing's own wit and personal charm.
In 1995, Zheng Daqing set up his own company, and by this time, he had become a famous entrepreneur, and he also spent nine months building a high-rise building, that is, the Oriental 100 Building, which suddenly became famous.
After achieving success, Zheng Daqing has always been very grateful to the villagers who helped him back then, and in addition to his entrepreneurial road, there are many people who have been following him, and they are also people in the township, so Zheng Daqing's gratitude to the villagers has reached a higher level.
Over the years, he has been building various roads in the village, including schools, factories, and pension funds, hoping to improve the lives of the people in all aspects, children should be able to afford to go to school, adults should have job opportunities, and the elderly should have money to use.
By 2006, Zheng Daqing's donation had exceeded 20 million, and his achievements had been on the Hurun philanthropist list, ranking 38th.
In Zheng Daqing's heart, if he wants to be an entrepreneur, then helping the society is a matter of course, and he feels that his contribution is not as powerful as that of other entrepreneurs, so there is no need to brag about him from this perspective, very modest.
During the Spring Festival in 2019, Zheng Daqing brought a lot of household appliances to every household in the village, including refrigerators, air conditioners, color TVs, etc., and even prepared red envelopes, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, which were directly given to the elderly in the village.
And this time when he went home, Zheng Daqing also rented a helicopter, not to show off his rights and status, but to show off his rights and status, but to let the old people in the countryside have a chance to take a plane and see the land they have lived in all their lives from above.
epilogue
Zheng Daqing has paid a lot on his own growth path, in fact, his success can basically be attributed to his own efforts, as well as his reliable and persistent character, it is also because of these factors that someone will always be willing to follow him, he is also a lucky person, who can save the day in so many crises.
But even so, he is still grateful, this child who came out of the mountains, is willing to return to his hometown, and the goal is not to show off, but to sincerely thank those parents and villagers who have helped him, hoping that everyone can achieve common prosperity and be called an excellent entrepreneur.
