Hubei billionaires: Barefoot doctors started from scratch to build the largest private pharmaceutical circulation enterprise in China
Recommended: Hubei Province is located in the hinterland of central China and is one of the important birthplaces of the splendid culture of the Chinese nation. In the pre-Qin period, from philosophy to literature, Laozi, Zhuangzi and Qu Yuan were produced, and after 800 years, a splendid Chu culture was created.
The data shows that in the first half of 2021, the GDP of Hubei Province was 2,277.769 billion yuan, an increase of 28.5% over the same period of the previous year at comparable prices, and the economic recovery was very rapid.
Speaking of Hubei, we have to mention the rich entrepreneurs in Hubei. Since the reform and opening up, Hubei has given birth to billions of rich people, such as Lei Jun, founder of Xiaomi Group, He Xiaopeng, founder of Xiaopeng Automobile, Chen Dongsheng of Taikang Life Insurance, Liu Jincheng of Yiwei Lithium Energy, and Gong Hongjia of Hikvision.
But in fact, hubei is far more than these rich people, including a low-key entrepreneur named Liu Baolin, whose strength is also quite amazing.
Wikipedia information shows that Liu Baolin, born in June 1953 in Swan Town, Yingcheng City, Hubei Province, has a college culture. He is currently the founder, chairman of the board of directors and legal representative of Jointown Group Co., Ltd., and the vice president of Hubei General Chamber of Commerce.
In the newly released "2021 New Fortune 500 Rich List", the Liu Baolin family ranked 346th on the list with a wealth of 13.3 billion.
To give you a brief introduction, Jointown Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. was founded in 1985 at the beginning of reform and opening up, is a joint-stock enterprise with Western medicine, Chinese medicine and medical device wholesale, logistics and distribution, retail chain and e-commerce as the core business.
On September 10, 2020, the list of the top 500 private enterprises in China in 2020 was released, and Jointown Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. ranked 58th, with an operating income of 9949708 million yuan.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > started from barefoot doctors, achieved a hegemony from scratch, and Liu Baolin's legendary hard work experience</h1>
From graduating from college to entering the society, Liu Baolin's first job in life was to be a doctor, and he was also one of the earliest barefoot doctors in the village. Because of his excellent work, Liu Baolin was later sent to the schistosomiasis medical station to assist in the work, and then he was transferred to the Jiahegou Pumping Station Hospital as the person in charge.
During the years of staying in primary medical care, Liu Baolin deeply felt that the lack of medical care and medicine in rural areas was very serious, and Liu Baolin also had the idea of changing this situation in his heart.
In 1985, Liu Baolin officially "went to the sea" and opened a pharmaceutical wholesale department in his hometown in Hubei Province. Thanks to the accumulation of work at the grassroots level, Liu Baolin is very familiar with the grassroots medical system, and his entrepreneurship has been carried out very smoothly.
In 2000, when the state opened up its drug business, Liu Baolin came to Wuhan to establish Jointown Pharmaceutical Company, and under great pressure, he acquired the Zhongnan Company, which was on the verge of closure at that time.
In 2006, Liu Baolin led Jointown Pharmaceutical to focus on the OTC market, and as of now, the company is also the largest OTC pharmaceutical distributor in China.
It is worth mentioning that after achieving success in his career, Liu Baolin not only low-key charity, but also very low-key in life.
Speaking of the richest man, everyone immediately thinks of whether it is a luxury car brand, and the quality of life is unimaginable to ordinary people. But Liu Baolin is different, after achieving a value of tens of billions, he still sits on the subway like ordinary people, does not buy luxury cars or mansions, and lives a very frugal life, which is very rare.
Conclusion: The Jointown Group, founded by Liu Baolin, has developed from scratch, from small to large, from one-store operation to a diversified industrial group with national network operation, pharmaceutical and industrial investment, which is really admirable.
I don't know if you are optimistic about the future development of Jointown Pharmaceutical Group?
