"The roots of a tree buried in the ground make the branches produce fruit, but they do not ask for anything - Tagore"
Some people say that life is a short life, and if you finally have money, why don't you let yourself live happily for a lifetime, maybe most people have the same idea, but there is one such exception, he is today's protagonist: Wang Yongqing
From a young apprentice to a rice shop owner
On January 18, 1917, in Zhitan, a suburb of Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period, a child was born, he was Wang Yongqing, born in a commercial family, but he is not like the current rich second generation can do as he wants, because when he was born, the family was not as good as the original heyday, and even fostered the young Wang Yongqing in someone else's family, maybe the family is declining, or maybe it is the feeling of being under the fence in his childhood, Wang Yongqing, who grew up slowly, is also determined to go to the road of business and "fight" Your own wealth.
However, the beginning of everything is very difficult, and in the apprenticeship, Wang Yongqing will also be scolded by the master for failing to do something, but these are just learning processes in Wang Yongqing's view.
He will take the initiative to find his own mistakes, and will also take the initiative to go to the neighbor's house to sell, and even enthusiastically pick old rice for others, wash the rice bowl, pick rice bran, and slowly the neighbors will know, and like this diligent, enthusiastic teenager, all come to the store to take care of the rice store's business. Some people joked that Wang Yongqing would sell more rice than usual in the store.
After a one-year apprenticeship, Wang Yongqing decided to use the knowledge he had learned and the money he had saved to open his own rice shop. From the experience of apprenticeship, Wang Yongqing learned the principle of customer first, customers are the source of benefits, the most important thing to run a good store is to attract business, and a good service attitude is the important place to attract customers. And this truth was also mentioned in his later talk about business management.
Therefore, the success of everything is the accumulation of past experience, and there is no overnight success. Wang Yongqing is well aware of this truth, and the accumulation of his apprenticeship has made the operation of the store more comfortable in the future. In this way, Wang Yongqing became a well-known local business owner, which also laid the foundation for his later dedication to the plastic industry.
A shocking decision at the beginning of success
Wang Yongqing was encouraged by the success of the rice shop, and he was thinking about whether he could invest in other industries to achieve more efficient production development. However, no one could have imagined at the time that he would set his sights on the most obscure plastic industry.
The end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression made Taiwan's economy begin to recover, and the development and production of industrial materials were urgently needed, and the plastic industry was also on the list of key productions. However, He Yi, a well-known entrepreneur in the plastic industry, is reluctant to invest in the plastic industry after domestic and foreign investigations, he believes that this is an industry that has no way to obtain profits, and no matter how much investment can not compare with the foreign plastic industry. Just when the entrepreneurs were silent, a small business boss stood up, and he was Wang Yongqing.
As soon as this news came out, in addition to everyone's exclamations, there were also doubts. Who is Wang Yongqing? He is just an ordinary businessman who has never had his name in the plastics industry, is it crazy that he dares to invest in an industry that even the big entrepreneur He Yi is not optimistic about? Not only are most people not optimistic about Wang Yongqing, but even the people around him are questioning and opposing this decision, and they also think that Wang Yongqing is crazy, just like everyone else.
At this time, Wang Yongqing did not pay attention to the doubts and cynicism of others, but concentrated on inspecting the local energy situation in Taiwan.
In 1954, Taiwan's first plastic company was born with everyone's doubts and ridicule, and soon after it began to build and develop, but it also encountered a crisis as everyone expected, and no one bought too much production. This is an oversupply, but Wang Yongqing ordered to continue to expand production.
For a while, it seemed that everyone began to see the jokes of this new plastic company, which was already in excess of demand, and the continuous expansion of production would only make the situation worse, and the company would also close down in a short time, while everyone was waiting for the company to collapse, what was Wang Yongqing doing?
Wang Yongqing didn't care about the rumors outside at this time, he knew that due to the lack of funds, the new output of plastic was limited, the price was high, and the price was high and there was no good sales, so he sold all his assets to devote himself to the production of the plastic industry. Some people say that genius is like a madman in the eyes of ordinary people, and Wang Yongqing is a "madman" in the eyes of those people. No one supports understanding and has been "alone......
In 1955, the plastic products processing factory - Nanya Plastic Factory was born, which was established by Wang Yongqing by selling his property, he has been making clear his own development route, increasing production and reducing prices, so that sales will pick up, and it turns out that his idea is not wrong.
The reduction in prices opened up the sales market, and gradually the ridicule and sarcasm were silenced, replaced by a great deal of exclamation and praise. In the eyes of people's expectations, the output of the two factories is higher and higher year by year, and Wang Yongqing has also become the first person in the plastic industry.
What is the secret to success
The success of the plastic industry has made Wang Yongqing a lot of profits, and he has become the world's richest man with a net worth of 5.4 billion yuan. Wang Yongqing's success made others envious, and someone once asked him if there was a secret to success? However, Wang Yongqing smiled: "If there are so many secrets in the world, then can't you succeed by learning the secrets? That is really interesting, in fact, I don't have any secrets." "What is the secret of success? It's just a step-by-step step-by-step approach.
From an apprentice to a rice shop owner and then to the "plastic king", this is inseparable from Wang Yongqing's own efforts and adventurous spirit. John Heskine said, "Success is made by effort, not hope" When deciding to invest in the plastics industry,
Wang Yongqing is just a small achievement of ordinary businessmen, no one wants to believe that this industry can bring business opportunities, even the plastic industry has achieved the leading people are not willing to invest, only Wang Yongqing stood up, willing to invest in this not optimistic industry, and paid all his energy, such success is inevitable.
What kind of enterprise is willing to give all its energy for that little hope? Therefore, there is no secret to success, because the so-called secret is only the hardship of coming out of oneself, and the sweetness after bitterness.
People who make life blossom and bear fruit
An article by Ba Jin mentioned that let life blossom and bear fruit, the so-called blossoming and fruition, is selfless dedication, silently giving without asking for a return.
If you become rich, what do you want to do? Most of us may think about ourselves, how to make our lives better, but Wang Yongqing, a successful man, bought 100 million square meters of land in the United States and gave it to the state for agricultural research.
Because he knows that the country needs it, in 2008, when the Wenchuan and Sichuan earthquakes occurred, Wang Yongqing donated another 100 million yuan for post-disaster reconstruction, contributing his own strength to the society.
Some people say, "What is this going on?" What is the plan? It is just the hope that the motherland's production and development will proceed more smoothly so that tens of millions of people will be able to obtain benefits. If he can make a modest contribution to the reconstruction of the earthquake, whether it is the construction of houses or classrooms after the disaster, maybe when he learns about the reconstruction on TV, he will smile kindly, that's all.
The roots of the tree cause the branches to produce fruit, but they do not ask for anything in return. Wang Yongqing is like this, like a candle, slowly lighting people, but doing good deeds, don't ask about the future.
We live not to do great things, but to let our lives blossom and bear fruit. Even if the passage of time takes away your body, it can't take away a piece of your true feelings, this emotion will always be remembered in people's hearts, and you are still the immortal existence with a snap of time.
