Xiang Yu once said, "Wealth does not return to their hometown, such as clothes and brocade at night." That is to say, if a person has never returned to his hometown after wandering outside and gaining fame and fortune, it is like walking in the dark in gorgeous clothes.
Similarly, the lifelong ideal of the ancient Chinese scholars is also to cultivate one's self and rule the country and level the world, and if the poor are alone, they will help the world, and when they are poor and studying, they will hook and sink into the ancients, make slight decisions and hide, study hard in the cold window, and wait for one day to add official robes, they want to combine their achievements with their own environment, and want to benefit their hometown through their own abilities.
And Zheng Daqing is such a person.
The spring reciprocates
With a loud rumbling sound, a helicopter slowly landed in a primary school in Dingziqiao Town, Yilong County, Sichuan, and just when everyone was surprised, a middle-aged man in a formal suit got off the plane.
An old man in an old state recognized the young man and shouted, "Isn't this Daqing, are you back?" Zheng Daqing walked quickly to the old man's side, held the old man's hand and said, "Uncle Wang, it's me, I'm back." ”
Such a big pomp and circumstance was not just a bluff, at the banquet on the way home, the whole village was among Zheng Daqing's invitees, just when everyone was drinking and eating, cups and plates were messy, and someone put bundles of cash on the table.
Where have the simple Zhuang people seen so much cash in their lives, they were dumbfounded, and before everyone could react, Zheng Daqing said to everyone affectionately: "Fathers and fellow villagers, many years ago I went to the field to start a business, and everyone gave me 70 yuan, and now I am making money, and this money is given back to everyone." ”
As soon as I heard that this red ticket was going to be distributed to everyone, I couldn't help but make people's blood boil, but some young people may not know the origin, while some older people know the reason, this table full of nearly 10 million red tickets turned out to be from the 70 yuan made up by the big guy many years ago.
The grace of dripping
It was still in the 80s of the 20th century, when China was vigorously developing its economy and seeking reform and development. Zheng Daqing, who was discharged from the army and demobilized, did not want to be among the hot Guangdong, but wanted to go to the northwest of the mainland, Urumqi in Xinjiang.
Hearing this decision, the family was very confused, and if they wanted to go out, they naturally chose an area with a developed economy, wealth and superiority, and a suitable climate, where there are many entrepreneurial opportunities and a more suitable life, but what is the point of going to Xinjiang?
What Zheng Daqing means is that Urumqi is a border city on the mainland, and after serving as a soldier for a day, he will contribute to the border defense of the motherland all his life.
Finally, Zheng Daqing persuaded his family that it was a long journey from Sichuan to Xinjiang, and it was not a small expense to eat and drink.
After thinking about it again, Zheng's father took Zheng Daqing to borrow money from door to door, the people here are simple, and the relationship between the neighbors and villagers is also very good, seeing that the eldest nephew is going to go away from home, everyone wants to make a contribution, although in that barren era, the disposable income of every household is not much, but everyone still tried their best to make up more than 70 yuan for Zheng Daqing.
Zheng Daqing and his father both meant that they would definitely pay it back, but the villagers said that Zheng Daqing was a member of the People's Liberation Army and a person who protected the people, and the money did not have to be repaid.
The generosity of the villagers brought Zheng Daqing to tears and full of emotion, and he was determined to make a name for himself so that his fellow villagers could live a better life.
After the Spring Festival in 1985, Zheng Daqing came to this cold northern city, and at that time he was full of ambition and planned to take root in this city.
At this time, Zheng Daqing only had a piece of two cents left in his hand, and the problem of food and clothing needed to be solved urgently, so he was looking for a job on the streets of this strange city day and night, and the construction site was the most suitable for him, because Zheng Daqing had a lot of strength, not to mention, he also needed money to eat, and the work on the construction site was a daily end, so Zheng Daqing came to the construction site to do coolies, facing reinforced concrete, tiles and gravel.
At this time, Zheng Daqing would pick up books and study by himself in his spare time. Confucius said that if there is spare strength in practice, then learn literature. Zheng Daqing still remembers that the instructor of the unit told them not to forget to study.
Indeed, people who master more knowledge, truth, and underlying logic are the most valuable wherever they go, Zheng Daqing relied on his tireless spirit, and soon stood out in front of all the workers, became a squad leader, and his salary rose to 5 yuan a day.
Seeing that life had hope step by step, Zheng Daqing happily saved enough 70 yuan to send it back for his father, but his father's reply made Zheng Daqing difficult.
The disciples of Jiangdong are still here, and they are willing to make a comeback for the king
It turns out that the villagers see that Zheng Daqing seems to have become famous in Xinjiang, and everyone wants to try to follow Zheng Daqing to work in Xinjiang, and the ardent hope from the villagers is also the source of motivation for Zheng Daqing to work harder.
Soon, in the second year, a large group of villagers came to Zheng Daqing's side, and it was these people who gave Zheng Daqing the most solid and solid support for starting a business. When Zheng Daqing contracted the project for the first time, everything was too big and small, and every indicator was personally reviewed by Zheng Daqing.
But the black-hearted project manager actually ran away the project money, looking at the villagers who were eager to get paid, Zheng Daqing, who returned empty-handed, blamed himself and was annoyed, but the villagers did not blame him, but still followed him.
During that time, everyone had a hard time, more than 20 people were crammed into a 60-square-meter room, and the slightest movement would disturb the left and right, but in the end, with the firm belief in unity, they finally got the due reward.
Gradually, Zheng Daqing's team has been recognized by the industry in Urumqi, and has gradually broken out of its own world, the construction team from the township has a high degree of initiative and cohesion, which is also the root of the promotion of Zheng Daqing's team to grow stronger and stronger, until the establishment of Zheng Daqing's company in 1995, are due to the support and support of the villagers.
In the following two years, Zheng Daqing's Tiandi Group relied on the construction industry to get involved in various fields, and invested 120 million yuan in Xinjiang to build the largest business district in Urumqi.
It didn't take long for Zheng Daqing to become a billionaire, and his figure often appeared on various rich lists, but he did not forget his original intention, investing in his hometown, doing public welfare, building roads, and helping children in his hometown go to school.
Brief summary:
It is difficult to give up good money, but at the banquet such as distributing cash, Zheng Daqing personally distributed the money he earned in his hands table by table, but he was happy, because he felt that his hard work was meaningful, so that the villagers could live better, which was also a dream in his heart.
