When we were young, we must have heard a saying from our parents: If you don't study well, no one will want to sweep the street when you grow up! Perhaps from that time on, everyone felt in their hearts that sweeping the streets was an "undignified" job. Now people's education level is gradually improving, so there is no longer the term "sweeping the street", but "sanitation workers".
Most of the sanitation workers on the road are uncles and aunts, and young people are reluctant to do such faceless work. However, there is such a businessman who relies on sanitation work, worth billions, and the employees under his hands are all uncles and aunts, and the city is still inseparable from them.
This person is the founder of Yuhetian Company, Zhou Ping. Born in 1963, Zhou Ping worked in the Harbin Textile Factory in Heilongjiang Province for 3 years after graduating from college, and then was called by his mother to shenzhen to develop. At that time, the joint venture textile factory where Zhou Ping's mother worked contracted a canteen, and the canteen was short of manpower, so Zhou Ping was stuffed into it. The job was very hard, every morning before dawn, I had to run to the wholesale market to pick fresh vegetables, and at night I had to set up food stalls until 12 o'clock to close. However, Zhou Ping is very able to endure hardships, and after a period of time, he has changed from a canteen contractor to a contractor for ten canteens.
In 1997, under a coincidence, the CEO of a foreign company asked Zhou Ping: Since you have contracted the canteen, do you want to contract the cleaning work of our company? Zhou Ping thought to himself: Now that there is really no regular cleaning company in the market, and the demand is so great, why can't I set up a company to swallow the market? Zhou Ping soon established Yuhetian Property Cleaning Management Co., Ltd., and he himself did not expect that after more than ten years, this cleaning company would become bigger and bigger, and his own value would reach billions of yuan.
Incorporation of the company
After the establishment of the company for 5 years, Zhou Ping already has a cleaning team of 5,000 people, and it is also a large company that can speak in the Shenzhen cleaning market. However, Zhou Ping was not satisfied, he wanted to expand his company's business, not only to do cleaning work for the enterprise, but also to cooperate with the municipal government to clean the city roads. It just so happened that Shenzhen was carrying out the market-oriented reform of sanitation at that time, so Zhou Ping spent a lot of effort and finally achieved his goal.
After another 5 years, the company's revenue has exceeded 100 million yuan, and the largest cleaning company in the whole of Shenzhen and even the Pearl River Delta region is Yuhetian. Now Zhou Ping has led the company out of the Pearl River Delta and marched to the whole country. As of 2019, Yuhetian has been laid out in more than 80 cities across the country, with a total staff of more than 60,000 people and an annual income of 3.6 billion yuan, and Zhou Ping's value is also rising.
Scale up
After the successful listing of Yuhetian, Zhou Ping did not feel complacent, he knew the truth of "not advancing, retreating", so he spent a lot of money on industrial innovation. Yuhetian Company is actively promoting the construction of a smart sanitation system that combines science and technology and sanitation, which can not only improve the efficiency and quality of work, but also make sanitation workers feel much easier. It should be known that Zhou Ping has 60,000 employees, more than 20,000 sanitation workers between the ages of 50 and 60, and more than 17,000 employees over the age of 60. If these elderly workers work hard for a long time, they are likely to be overwhelmed, and with the smart sanitation system, they can breathe a sigh of relief.
As the saying goes: three hundred and sixty lines, the line out of the yuan. Relying on such an inconspicuous job as "sweeping the street", Zhou Ping can change from a small canteen contractor to the boss of a large sanitation company, worth billions, which is really admirable. Zhou Ping's success story also tells young people: don't be high-minded, high-handed, as long as the most basic work is done well, it is also possible to find business opportunities that others ignore. As long as you seize an opportunity, even if you can't be worth more than 100 million, it is still no problem to make a small fortune and make millions. The key is to be down-to-earth, dare to think and dare to do, and finally succeed!
