Born into a family of educators, Yan Jiehe worked as a high school Chinese teacher when he was young, and later wrote the New Analects. And Yan Jiehe is also a great entrepreneur, leading the group to enter the world's top 500 enterprises. The value has also climbed to the second place in the Hurun Report.
Among China's private enterprises, Yan Jiehe is known as "the world's first Chinese madman". He also married his own students and bulldozed 700 mountains in half a year, creating a miracle in China's construction transfer model. At the same time, Yan Jiehe is also a thinker, philosopher, and educator.
Yan Jiehe is also the founder of Pacific Construction Group, and his whole life is like a legendary novel, and it is full of surprises and stories at every stage of life. As early as 2012, the Lanzhou New Town expansion project attracted national attention, but the project had a huge difficulty.
The most difficult thing is the movement of the hills, and in the face of such a difficult problem, it is obviously difficult for everyone. It was at this time that Yan Jiehe stood up to take on this difficult task, and also threatened to complete it within three months. It was obviously impossible to complete the entire 700 hills in three months, but Yan Jiehe actually did it.
Born in a family of education
Yan Jiehe was born in 1960, and his parents and grandparents were highly educated intellectuals. With such a foundation, the impact on Yan Jiehe is very great. Both parents also hope that Yan Jiehe can continue this tradition and study hard. And Yan Jiehe did not disappoint his parents, studied at the local teacher training college, and became a Chinese teacher.
However, the teaching profession was not favored by people in the past, and there is even a saying among the people, "It is better to be a tourist than a doll". It can be seen that the status of the teaching profession in the environment at that time, but with the development of the times, teaching has become a respected profession instead of what it used to be.
At that time, when Yan Jiehe was teaching, he met his true love, that is, his student Zhang Yunqin. The two quickly determined their relationship, and after Zhang Yunqin graduated, the two entered the palace of marriage. Although the teacher-student relationship was not favored by people at that time, the two still came together.
But the good times didn't last long, after Yan Jiehe and his second child Yan Hao were born, Yan Jiehe lost his job. Yan Jiehe, who had no choice, could only go to the sea to do business. Yan Jiehe's life has also undergone earth-shaking changes from this moment, at that time, there were only 7 people competing for the position of factory director in Huai'an Clay Products Factory.
In the end, Yan Jiehe won the position of factory director with his ingenuity, although Yan Jiehe became the factory director, but the mud products factory was a mess and was on the verge of bankruptcy. However, Yan Jiehe made a bold statement, claiming that he would bring the factory back to life in three months, and if he couldn't do it, he would take the blame and resign.
Facts have proved that Yan Jiehe is still capable, and as soon as he took office, he began to carry out reforms on a large scale, constantly introducing new technologies and other measures. In just one year, the factory that was on the verge of closure was brought back to life, and Yan Jiehe's reputation slowly spread. After that, more enterprises wanted to be strict and managed, and took over 7 state-owned enterprises one after another.
In 1992, Yan Jiehe took the 100,000 yuan he borrowed and officially started his own business and registered a construction company in Huai'an. It happened that Nanjing was building a ring road at that time, and Yan Jiehe won 3 projects with his own efforts, but after the project ended, Yan Jiehe also lost 50,000 yuan.
But the workers who worked hard with Yan Jie stopped doing it, and they didn't earn a penny for such hard work, and they lost a lot. But in Yan Jiehe's heart, as long as the speed of construction is fast and the quality is good, after all, this is a newly built enterprise, without any background, and can only be publicized in this way.
In fact, just as Yan Jiehe thought, more and more projects were handed over to Yan Jiehe. In order to be able to create his own signboard, Yan Jiehe did it himself every time, which greatly shortened the construction period. After acceptance, Yan Jiehe received more projects on the Nanjing Ring Road, that is, this project allowed Yan Jiehe to earn the first pot of gold of 8.6 million yuan in his life.
With such funds, Yan Jiehe also made a more bold move to create his own business empire, after all, in the 90s of the 20th century, he was able to earn 8.6 million yuan. Even now it is a huge amount of money, which shows Yan Jiehe's courage. In 1995, Yan Jiehe invested 40 million yuan to establish Jiangsu Pacific Engineering Co., Ltd.
With the establishment of the group, Yan Jiehe's career has also flourished, and the business empire has also reached its peak. For ordinary people, since they have achieved financial freedom, they can lie down peacefully for the rest of their lives. But for Yan Jiehe's ambitions, it didn't stop.
In 2005, Yan Jiehe successfully acquired 31 state-owned enterprises, with total assets of up to 6 billion yuan. However, such behavior has also been labeled as bad, and has been called the title of "embezzlement of state-owned enterprises". Although it was said by outsiders, Yan Jiehe did not take it to heart, after all, the state-owned enterprises he acquired were all carried out through legal means.
Pay attention to your child's education
Although it is said that Yan Jiehe's country has been defeated, if you want to continue in a long and stable manner, you still have to cultivate your successor, so that you can make the business territory you create more and more solid. So when Yan Jiehe is not working, he focuses on the education of his children.
When Yan Hao was young, Yan Jiehe discovered this, and he attached great importance to Yan Jiehe, the second child. When Yan Hao was an adult, he took Yan Hao with him to engage in various work of the group. And Yan Hao became the general manager of the company when he was a sophomore, hoping to get familiar with the group's business as soon as possible.
Under Yan Jiehe's training, Yan Hao gradually came into contact with various businesses of the group, even if Yan Jiehe was in the company, Yan Hao was responsible for most of the business. The purpose of all this is to make Yan Hao familiar with it as soon as possible, but Yan Hao's heart is already a little fluttering, thinking that he is the successor of the group.
But Yan Jiehe didn't think that Yan Hao was ready, and hoped that Yan Hao would exercise for a few more years. Such a decision obviously made Yan Hao not expect, and at the same time, he also made a decision in his heart, that is, to go to the most difficult company to work hard again. In this way, Yan Hao came to Jiangsu International, an old state-owned enterprise that has been losing money continuously.
Yan Hao, who had just arrived at Jiangsu International, found a major problem in the enterprise, because there were many elderly workers in the old state-owned enterprises, and if the company continued to develop like this, it was only a matter of time before it went bankrupt. Realizing such a serious problem, Yan Hao made major changes and changed the personnel in the company, so that the company could develop slowly.
Of course, it was not all smooth sailing at the beginning, and many old employees were very unconvinced, and many old employees did not believe that a young man in the first grade could save the factory back. But Yan Hao didn't seem to care about all this, after all, if you want to save the factory, you need to make a big change.
Under the leadership of Yan Hao, within a year, the company began to turn losses into profits. The company is also developing steadily, and the turnover in the second year directly reached 80 million. Such an achievement also made many people admire, but they didn't expect that a precarious enterprise could really be saved.
However, such an achievement has also been opposed by many people, after all, Yan Hao has a father worth more than 100 million. Even if the company he runs goes bankrupt, there is Yan Jiehe to help his son support him. Including the current profitability of the company, it is inseparable from Yan Jiehe's help, and such an evaluation has not affected Yan Hao, after all, as long as what he does is correct, he can say whatever outsiders say.
Although many people have a hatred of the rich, they have a strong prejudice against the rich second generation. Of course, it is also because the rich second generation began to be arrogant because they were rich, and there are countless such things. However, there are still differences between the rich second generation, not every rich second generation is arrogant, and there are also outstanding entrepreneurs.
Now Pacific Construction Group, under the leadership of Yan Hao, has entered the world's top 500 enterprises, and the company's assets are as high as 4 trillion yuan. It has become the first private construction company in China and even in the world, and the Yan family has also become the richest man in Jiangsu.
Yan Jiehe's success is inseparable from his courage and courage, and the most important thing is to have the courage to try. I would rather suffer a loss than complete the promised things with quality and quantity, and I am an excellent entrepreneur.
