In the thriving development of BYD, Wang Chuanfu also ushered in the peak moment of his life. In 2009, with a personal net worth of 35 billion yuan, Wang Chuanfu became the richest man in China.
This former son of a poor peasant family not only successfully founded a 100-billion-level enterprise, but also became a world-renowned business giant.
Looking back on Wang Chuanfu's entrepreneurial journey, it can be found that his success was not achieved overnight. At the beginning of the establishment of BYD, he captured the business opportunities of the battery industry that was about to take off with his keen business sense.
Through unremitting efforts, Wang Chuanfu finally successfully developed nickel-cadmium battery products, and won the trust of customers and signed a large number of orders with excellent quality and excellent performance.
In less than three years, this small company, which has just started, has achieved an impressive performance of annual sales of more than 100 million yuan and has grown into a medium-sized enterprise.
Such an achievement attracted the attention of Asian business giant Warren Buffett, who decided to invest in BYD as a strategic investor. This move gave a huge boost to the company's further growth, and Wang Chuanfu's personal net worth skyrocketed, eventually becoming China's richest man in 2009.
However, while Wang Chuanfu reached the top of the business world, he still did not forget the selfless dedication of his family for many years. At this time, a sudden new crown epidemic swept the world, setting off an unprecedented economic crisis.
But Wang Chuanfu was not defeated by this disaster at all, but relied on superhuman insight and decisive decision-making to quickly adjust the company's strategy and create BYD's first production line with a daily output of 5 million masks.
In just 7 days, Wang Chuanfu led the team to complete this arduous task, providing strong support for the national and global anti-epidemic work. Three months later, BYD has become the world's largest mask manufacturer, which has not only won the company a huge reputation, but also demonstrated the philanthropy and social responsibility of Wang Chuanfu, a business giant.
Under his leadership, BYD has rapidly upgraded and expanded, not only involved in new energy vehicles and other fields, but also become a leader in the industry. Wang Chuanfu's "golden wrist" and foresight not only put the company at the pinnacle of business, but also made him one of the most influential business giants of our time.
It can be said that BYD's brilliant achievements are the greatest glory and pride of Mr. Wang Chuanfu.
Wang Chuanfu's entrepreneurial road
But what was the force that enabled Wang Chuanfu to grow step by step from a poor peasant boy to the richest man in China? Looking back at his life course, it is not difficult for us to find that the root cause of all this stems from the difficulties and setbacks he experienced in his early years.
In 1966, Wang Chuanfu, who was born in a poor rural area, experienced the hardships of life since he was a child. The scene of ten people crammed into a cramped farmhouse has always been etched in his mind.
Despite such poor living conditions, the young Wang Chuanfu did not lose his fighting spirit, but cherished everything in front of him even more. He studied hard, and every time his brother Wang Chuanfang went out to work to make money, the income was given to his mother, and finally used as Wang Chuanfu's tuition.
However, fate seems to have been playing tricks on Wang Chuanfu. When he was 15 years old, he lost his beloved mother, and the family was once again in a desperate situation. But even in such a difficult situation, Wang Chuanfu still did not give up the goal of pursuing knowledge.
With amazing perseverance, he overcame many difficulties and was finally admitted to Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
However, just when Wang Chuanfu was about to set foot in the university hall, he resolutely gave up his plan to continue his studies. Faced with the incomprehension of his family, Wang Chuanfu's heart was full of struggle.
But at this critical moment, a strange woman appeared in Wang Chuanfu's life - this is his sister-in-law Zhang Juxiu.
Zhang Juxiu resolutely chose to tide over the difficulties with Wang Chuanfang, even though she was strongly opposed by relatives and friends. She firmly believes that Wang Chuanfang is a person of high moral character and reliability, so she will do whatever it takes to move forward hand in hand with him.
When Zhang Juxiu learned that Wang Chuanfu gave up the consideration of further study, she immediately responded resolutely: "You must continue to study, I will support you with your eldest brother with all my might, you must work hard and strive for the top."
With his sister-in-law's encouragement, Wang Chuanfu rekindled his pursuit of knowledge. Under the co-sponsorship of Zhang Juxiu and Wang Chuanfang, he successfully entered Central South University to study.
For a long time, Zhang Juxiu has been taking care of Wang Chuanfu's daily life meticulously, and even in order to avoid him feeling inferior in front of his classmates, he also deliberately spent money to buy him a straight suit.
Under the selfless care of his sister-in-law, Wang Chuanfu's academic performance improved by leaps and bounds, and he was finally admitted to the master's degree of Beijing General Research Institute of Nonferrous Metals.
After graduation, with his outstanding performance, he was even promoted to the deputy director of Room 301 by the school, becoming the youngest leading cadre at the department level in the country.
Shortly thereafter, Wang Chuanfu was invited to take on the position of general manager of Shenzhen Bigge Battery Co., Ltd., opening another new chapter in his life.
Wang Chuanfu's entrepreneurial legend
In 1995, Wang Chuanfu resolutely resigned from his stable job and came to Shenzhen to start his own business. At that time, with a start-up capital of 2.5 million yuan, together with his cousin Lu Xiangyang, he leased a factory building in Shenzhen and officially established BYD.
His family did not support Wang Chuanfu's decision, but were very puzzled by it. Faced with the choice between family and career, Wang Chuanfu fell into an inner struggle.
But in the end, after careful consideration, he strengthened his determination and embarked on the road of entrepreneurship without hesitation.
Surprisingly, this time, Wang Chuanfu's sister-in-law Zhang Juxiu did not actively express support as in the past. She knows that once she and Wang Chuanfang join the company's management, it will inevitably cause doubts and criticism from the outside world, which is not conducive to Wang Chuanfu's reputation.
So, Zhang Juxiu politely declined Wang Chuanfu's invitation, which Wang Chuanfu was deeply touched. He realized that it was this kind and virtuous sister-in-law who had been silently supporting his career and life.
With the care and encouragement of his sister-in-law, Wang Chuanfu embarked on the road of entrepreneurship without hesitation. Based in Shenzhen, a major business town, HE quickly captured the business opportunities that the battery industry was about to take off with his keen business sense.
Through hard work, Wang Chuanfu finally succeeded in developing nickel-cadmium battery products. To further strengthen his position in the market, he sent samples to Daba, a local cordless phone manufacturer, for testing.
What is gratifying is that with excellent quality and excellent performance, BYD successfully won the favor of Daba and successfully signed the first batch of purchase contracts.
In less than three years, this small company, which has just started, has achieved an impressive annual sales of more than 100 million yuan and has grown into a medium-sized enterprise.
In this process, Wang Chuanfu always remembered the selfless dedication of his sister-in-law and brother, and was determined to repay them with practical actions.
When BYD made such brilliant achievements in the field of batteries, Warren Buffett, an Asian business giant, also decided to get involved in the industry and took a stake in BYD as a strategic investor.
This move has greatly promoted BYD's further development, and the company's stock price has also climbed. Because of this, just one year later, Wang Chuanfu won the crown of China's richest man in 2009 with a personal net worth of up to 35 billion yuan.
When he reached the pinnacle of business, Wang Chuanfu also began to brew another idea in his heart: he decided to recruit his sister-in-law and brother into the company's management to open a new chapter together.
However, unexpectedly, Zhang Juxiu declined the offer. She is well aware that once she and her husband take on the top management, it will inevitably arouse suspicion and criticism from the outside world, which will undoubtedly adversely affect Wang Chuanfu's reputation.
Responsibility during the pandemic
Just when Wang Chuanfu had transformed from a top corporate leader to an active participant in public welfare, a sudden new crown epidemic swept the world, bringing a huge impact on the world's economic development.
In the face of this unprecedented crisis, Wang Chuanfu was not intimidated, but quickly adjusted the company's strategic deployment with keen business insight and determination.
He realized that in this pandemic, the lack of supply of masks will be the most pressing issue at the moment. So, he decided to use BYD's manufacturing capacity and go all out to devote himself to the production of masks.
In just 7 days, Wang Chuanfu led the team to complete the construction of the first production line with a daily output of 5 million masks. This move not only provided strong support for the national and global anti-epidemic work, but also showed the social responsibility and philanthropy of Wang Chuanfu, a business giant.
Now, three months later, BYD has become the world's largest mask manufacturer. This has not only earned the company a huge reputation, but also widely praised for the vision and mission of Wang Chuanfu, a business leader.
While BYD is thriving, Wang Chuanfu has not forgotten his family's selfless dedication to him over the years. He placed his sister-in-law Zhang Juxiu and brother Wang Chuanfang in the most suitable logistics position for them, so that they could enjoy the joy of family life.
Such a decision undoubtedly reflects Wang Chuanfu's deep gratitude to his family.
Today, Wang Chuanfu is no longer the top leader of the company, but he is still actively engaged in charity and public welfare. Especially in this sudden epidemic, with his superhuman wisdom and decisive decision-making, he quickly built BYD's mask production line, making significant contributions to the national and even global anti-epidemic cause.
From an ordinary person from a poor rural area to the richest man in China with a personal net worth of 35 billion, Wang Chuanfu's life experience is undoubtedly a legend. But if we look back closely at his upbringing, we will find that the root of all this is actually due to the selfless dedication and support of his family over the years.
Wang Chuanfu, who was born in 1966, has experienced the hardships of poverty since he was a child. His father was an ordinary farmer carpenter, barely making ends meet for the extended family.
However, fate struck another heavy blow, and when Wang Chuanfu was 13 years old, his father was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer. In this way, this already poor family suddenly lost its pillar and fell into a desperate situation.
In such an environment, the young Wang Chuanfu had to become the pillar of the family, he studied hard and devoted himself to his studies. Just when he was about to enter the university gate, fate hit him again - he lost his mother, who loved him the most.
Such a double blow undoubtedly brought great trauma to Wang Chuanfu.
But just when Wang Chuanfu was in a desperate situation, a strange woman appeared in his life - that was his sister-in-law Zhang Juxiu. This brave and kind woman resolutely chose to join hands with Wang Chuanfang to tide over the difficulties together.
In the face of strong opposition from her family, Zhang Juxiu still insisted on her choice, and this spirit of not being afraid of hardships undoubtedly gave Wang Chuanfu great encouragement.
With the support of Zhang Juxiu and Wang Chuanfang, Wang Chuanfu was finally admitted to Central South University. During this period, his sister-in-law Zhang Juxiu took care of his daily life meticulously, and even bought him a neat suit to prevent him from feeling inferior in front of his classmates.
Such selfless care deeply moved Wang Chuanfu's heart.
There is no doubt that Mr. Wang Chuanfu's integrity and noble feelings are the solid foundation of his life. In this long journey, the selfless dedication of his family guided him like a beacon, and his sister-in-law Zhang Juxiu showed the outstanding virtuous qualities of Chinese women.
It can be said that BYD's brilliant achievements are the greatest glory and pride of Mr. Wang Chuanfu.
