«——【Preamble】】 ——»
There is an old saying that is called "When you are born, you don't forget your parents, and when you are rich, you don't forget to guide people." And Chen Sheng, from Peking University, did the same.
As the only college student in the village who was admitted to Peking University at that time, Chen Sheng's fellow villagers provided a lot of help.
However, Chen Sheng originally had a bright future after graduation, but he chose to give up, and later started his own business to become a "butcher", relying on his own talent, he earned 1.1 billion yuan in just three years.
Later, Chen Sheng deeply felt the help given by the villagers on the way to study, and could not bear to live up to it, so he resolutely invested 200 million yuan to build 138 villas for the villagers. However, his generosity did not win the gratitude of the villagers, but caused a lot of criticism. So much so that to this day, Chen Sheng still does not dare to return to his hometown.
So what happened in the middle will make the villagers not only not choose to accept Chen Sheng's generosity, but also complain about Chen Sheng.
«——【Golden Phoenix Flying Out of the Mountain Village】——»
Chen Sheng was born in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province in 1962, when the mainland had just come out of a three-year difficult period, so at that time, Chen Sheng's family, like most rural families, was very poor, but although it was very poor, the life of the family was also very happy, and Chen Sheng also spent his childhood in such an environment.
Later, when it was time to go to school, even though the family was not wealthy at that time, Chen Sheng's parents still sent Chen Sheng to school, because the parents knew very well that if they didn't want their children to live the same life as themselves, they must let their children receive education and master knowledge, and only in this way could they change their fate.
But when Chen Sheng was 12 years old, his father unfortunately contracted a serious illness and passed away in a short time, and due to the death of his father, all the burden of the family fell on his mother alone.
But in such a situation, his mother never thought about letting Chen Sheng give up his studies, and it was his mother's persistence that led to Chen Sheng's later life.
Don't look at Chen Sheng's family background is not very good, but Chen Sheng is very hard in his studies, because Chen Sheng knows that the reason why he can continue to study is because his mother firmly believes that only reading can change his future, and Chen Sheng has not lived up to his mother's expectations, and Chen Sheng's academic performance has been very good since he was a child. And all the teachers who teach Chen Sheng's course also think that Chen Sheng can be admitted to a good university during the college entrance examination.
Carrying the attention of everyone, Chen Sheng stepped into this important stage that determines his life. In the examination room, he showed a calm and unhurried attitude, full of confidence. After the exams, while waiting for the results, he was anxious that he would not be able to get into the ideal university and meet his mother's ardent expectations.
Finally when the college entrance examination results were released, Chen Sheng was also very nervous, but all of this disappeared at the moment when the results came out, this time Chen Sheng achieved a very good result, and when it was time to fill in the volunteers, the teacher suggested that Chen Sheng fill in Peking University, because according to Chen Sheng's results, the probability of being admitted to Peking University is very large.
So in the days that followed, Chen Sheng began to look forward to the arrival of the admission letter, but as time passed, seeing that many students around him had got their admission letters, Chen Sheng's heart was full of doubts about himself at this moment, but all doubts disappeared with the appearance of the admission notice, and seeing that Chen Sheng was admitted to Peking University, both Chen Sheng and Chen Sheng's mother were very happy.
But after being happy, Chen Sheng's mother was worried, after all, she was already very reluctant to take care of the daily life of several children, and now that Chen Sheng was admitted to the university, how should she make up Chen Sheng's college tuition.
Soon the news of Chen Sheng's admission to Peking University spread in the village, and the villagers were very happy, after all, this was the first college student in the village to be admitted to university and Peking University since the resumption of the college entrance examination. After learning about Chen Sheng's family's worries, he did not hesitate, and chose to have money to contribute and make a strong contribution, so with the help of the villagers, Chen Sheng finally scraped together enough tuition fees to go to college.
Seeing what the villagers did to him, Chen Sheng was also very moved, and before leaving, he assured the villagers that he would definitely repay the villagers when he soared in the future.
After assuring the villagers, Chen Sheng stepped on the train to Beijing, and during the four years at Peking University, Chen Sheng studied very hard, always thinking about the help of the villagers to him.
In this way, four years passed in a flash, Chen Sheng graduated from school, and after graduation, Chen Sheng became a civil servant and was assigned to the General Office of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee.
You must know that in that era, civil servants were the iron rice bowl in people's hearts, and Chen Sheng was also very serious in his job and was deeply loved by the leaders.
«——【·Resign and start your own business·】——»
Later, with the gradual acceleration of the reform and opening up process, Chen Sheng found that many of his classmates chose to go to the sea to do business, and seeing that they were making a lot of money one by one, Chen Sheng also had strange ideas about his work as a civil servant.
Chen Sheng thought that although civil servants are an iron rice bowl, the wages they earn are too small compared to those who do business. I don't want to be a civil servant for the rest of my life, and I remember that I promised the villagers that I would repay them after I soared, but I am like this now, and I am afraid that I will not be able to repay the villagers until I die.
So Chen Sheng wanted to resign from the civil servant and go to the sea to start a business, although Chen Sheng had this idea, but he did not immediately put it into action, after all, in that era, it was not a very glorious thing for civil servants to start a business in the sea, so Chen Sheng wrote his resignation letter, first told the news to his mother, and his mother also objected after learning that Chen Sheng wanted to resign from the civil servant, after all, in his mother's view, civil servants are an iron job and are guaranteed.
Seeing that his mother disagreed, Chen Sheng began to persuade his mother, and his mother saw that Chen Sheng was so resolute, and asked Chen Sheng if he had thought about it, Chen Sheng said that he was ready, and seeing that Chen Sheng had made up his mind, his mother did not continue to stop him.
So Chen Sheng submitted his resignation to the unit and began his own business journey to the sea.
At the beginning, Chen Sheng first set up a stall in Zaiya City to buy clothes, and then Chen Sheng chose to grow vegetables, through these jobs Chen Sheng accumulated a certain amount of capital, Chen Sheng entered the real estate industry, after several years of hard work, he emerged in the Zhanjiang real estate industry, became the leading boss. However, he was not satisfied with this and set his sights on a wider field.
At that time, the way of drinking Sprite mixed vinegar gradually became popular. Due to the enthusiasm of the masses for this way of drinking, Chen Sheng also decided to devote himself to the study of this "vinegar drink". After rigorous screening and in-depth exploration, Chen Sheng finally found the best fruit vinegar to pair with Sprite. He named the drink "Heaven and Earth No. 1" and established Heaven and Earth No. 1 Beverage Co., Ltd. to officially start selling the drink.
At that time, after the launch of Tiandi No. 1, it was indeed highly respected by the people, and for a while, sales could be said to have grown rapidly, and Chen Sheng's business was getting bigger and bigger.
But gradually, Chen Sheng began to find that the sales of Tiandi No. 1 had begun to decline gradually, so Chen Sheng began to worry that his drinks would one day not be liked by people, so Chen Sheng turned his attention to other businesses.
At this time, Chen Sheng learned that his younger brother, Lu Buxuan, who was also a student of Peking University, became a butcher after graduation and sold pork, which was criticized by many people, but Chen Sheng thought that there was no shame in selling pork after graduating from Peking University, so Chen Sheng took the initiative to contact Lu Buxuan, and the two began to discuss how to raise pigs scientifically, slaughter, and sell, so the two hit it off, established a butcher school, and began to train professionals who raise and sell pigs.
And the two in 2007 when the creation of the No. 1 pig began to enter the market, in a short period of time to open the market, the company also began to get on the right track, in 2014 Chen Sheng said in an interview, No. 1 pig since 2007 listed, there have been hundreds of stores across the country, Chen Sheng said that in the next few years, the number of No. 1 pig stores will increase, will reach thousands.
And after Chen Sheng saw that he was soaring, he did not forget his original promise to the villagers.
«——【·Return to the villagers for causing criticism·】——»
In 2009, when No. 1 Soil Pig had just been listed for three years, Chen Sheng had already earned 1.1 billion yuan from it.
Seeing his achievements and remembering the help of the villagers at the beginning, Chen Sheng decided to do something to repay the villagers.
Chen Sheng spent 200 million yuan to build hundreds of villas in his hometown, and in order to help the villagers get rich, Chen Sheng also helped the villagers build a series of enterprises such as pig farms and lychee orchards.
But when the villagers were choosing villas, Chen Sheng saw what it means to be a human heart.
Originally, Chen Sheng planned to build villas in his hometown in two parts, the first part was to build hundreds of villas for the villagers to live in, and then tear down the old houses where the villagers lived and build the remaining villas on them.
The idea is good, but when it is implemented, it is difficult, some villagers' younger brothers, younger sisters in the villa built is that I got married, split the family, thinking that Chen Sheng said that a family and a villa, since his younger brothers and sisters have been married, so he asked Chen Sheng to build a villa for his younger brothers and sisters.
After moving into the villa, some villagers said that they had already had feelings after living in the old house for many years, so they asked Chen Sheng not to demolish it.
Some villagers thought that the villa they were assigned was smaller than that of other villagers, so they asked Chen Sheng to change it.
Seeing that the villagers' demands were getting more and more outrageous, Chen Sheng had no choice but to find the government to help mediate the matter, and under the coordination of the government, the villagers also began to move into the villa, and on the day of the villagers' move-in ceremony, Chen Sheng left the scene after making a speech, and never returned to his hometown.
Although he will not go back, Chen Sheng has not forgotten to lead the villagers to get rich, but instead of directly sending benefits, he guides the villagers to rely on their own hands to improve their lives, and now his hometown is developing better and better under the leadership of Chen Sheng.
