When it comes to Kenya in Africa, I believe that the first impression of most friends is a negative perception of poverty, backwardness, dirtiness and messiness. But there is one person who uses his own lens to show the public the real urban appearance of Africa and the living conditions of ordinary people, and this person is Wang Yao, who has millions of fans on the Internet. In addition to documenting the real life in Africa, his videos also show the incomparably luxurious living environment.
When traveling daily, Wang Yao is often surrounded by several Miss World, and his car is one of the best luxury cars, and even the lion, the king of the grassland, is just his little pet. However, such an Internet celebrity who lives a luxurious life is favored by the official media and the Kenyan government. So what is so special about him? How did he become an international billionaire?
First, the elite of central enterprises
Wang Yao was born in Gansu Province, he did not have a prominent family background, and his parents were just ordinary people with stable jobs. However, although they have an average family background, their vision is very advanced, and they are very concerned about Wang Yao's education. In order to allow Wang Yao to receive a better education, they made a lot of efforts to let him go to the school with the best local educational resources.
Wang Yao did not live up to the expectations of his parents, he was very serious in his studies and was very good in science. Therefore, with the cultivation of his parents and his own efforts, Wang Yao not only successfully completed his bachelor's degree, but also studied abroad to complete his master's degree. His resume can be said to be very impressive, so as soon as he returned to China, he successfully applied for a job in a state-owned enterprise.
Although Wang Yao has always been a scholar in the eyes of others, he is not the kind of nerd who only knows how to study, and he knows very well what to do and what not to do in the workplace. So after entering a state-owned enterprise, within a few years, he relied on his own strength to become a small leader, and was highly valued by the top management of state-owned enterprises.
However, at this time, Wang Yao suddenly received an appointment order, the company needed to send someone to Kenya for a long-term business trip due to business problems, and this job was assigned to him by the leader. At first, Wang Yao was very dissatisfied with this order, and at the same time, he was very resistant to going to Kenya for a business trip.
Because Wang Yao's impression of African countries at that time was the same as that of ordinary people, he thought that they must be very backward and poor. But when Wang Yao actually set foot on this land, he found that the environment in Kenya was not at all what he imagined. Although it is not wealthy, the streets are clean and free of garbage, and the roadside is full of rows of shops with bright windows.
Therefore, as soon as Wang Yao landed, his impression of Kenya changed, and he no longer resisted the rest of his life. As Wang Yao lived in Kenya for more time, he began to discover that there was a huge business opportunity lurking there.
2. Overseas business
With an in-depth understanding of Kenya, Wang Yao found that the women here are very fond of beauty and all kinds of flowers. However, due to the climate in Africa, the local flower species are very poor, and this made Wang Yao find a business opportunity.
Wang Yao thinks that if he can transport domestic flowers to Kenya for sale, then he will definitely make a lot of money. So he said he would do it, and soon flew to Yunnan to inspect the flower market and international transportation issues. And in order to better complete his career, Wang Yao simply quit his job in a state-owned enterprise and started a business wholeheartedly.
Wang Yao thought that he would be able to achieve great success, but the reality was far more difficult than he imagined. Although flowers were very popular in Kenya, transportation was too difficult and keeping them fresh became a big problem, so his first venture failed.
However, Wang Yao did not give up after failing once. He quickly picked himself up and started his business again, this time again targeting women. Wang Yao took advantage of Kenyan women's beauty love characteristics and began to sell second-hand clothes in China.
These clothes are very popular in Kenya because of their fashionable styles and affordable prices. His second-hand clothing business has also become more and more popular in the local area, opening 17 branches in a few years, and gradually diversifying the industry, becoming the most successful Chinese businessman in the region.
3. Philanthropy
After Wang Yao succeeded in his career, he did not forget to give back to this land. He began to devote himself to philanthropy to help improve the lives of poor families in the local area. In addition, it has also cooperated with Lanxiang Technical School to open a branch in Kenya so that local people can learn more ways to make a living.
Wang Yao's move undoubtedly improved the barrenness of the land from the roots, so the local government is very grateful to him. And in addition to doing charity in Kenya, he has not forgotten to give back to his motherland. Wang Yao has always vigorously promoted Chinese culture in Kenya and has made great contributions to the friendly relations between the two countries.
epilogue
Although Wang Yao's life is extremely luxurious, it is undeniable that his contribution to the country is also very huge. Therefore, although he is surrounded by beautiful women and extravagant, he is still praised by the official media. He was not only a successful businessman, but also a successful philanthropist.
