After Cao Dewang bought a private jet, he arrogantly said in an interview: "My private jet is not for everyone to sit on." As soon as this remark came out, netizens felt that he was very arrogant. However, after listening to Cao Dewang's explanation, they held out their thumbs and praised them, what is going on?
It turned out that Cao Dewang said later: My plane officials and customers can't sit, but my staff can do it.
Usually, many people like to entertain officials and customers well, afraid of where the hospitality is not good, but Cao Dewang does not care at all, why is this? Because he was afraid that the official would sit in a bad reputation, afraid that his customers would sit and say that he bribed.
Cao Dewang's explanation attracted praise from everyone. Speaking of Cao Dewang, the two words of clean and honest are the best evaluation of him, because few entrepreneurs can do this, today we will take a look at Cao Dewang's "clean road".
Cao Dewang fell from his childhood, so he lived a very hard life as a child. But he did not complain about the world, but lived upwards and constantly improved his life. Finally, in 1983, Cao Dewang contracted a low-efficiency glass factory.
Cao Dewang vigorously reformed, continuously developed Fuyao Glass, and made achievements. At this time, a contractor foreman tried hard to bribe, but not only did not succeed, but was "bribed" by Cao Dewang, and has since followed him with a dead heart.
This contractor from Minhou thought of sitting on the starting price of the land, first contracting the project at a low price, and then waiting until the construction was about to start, and then bribing Cao Dewang to achieve the purpose of sitting on the starting price of the land. But Wanwan did not expect that Cao Dewang would not eat this set. Whether it was sending cash or gold bribes, Cao Dewang ignored it and put down the harsh words of "if it is not completed on time, the project payment will be deducted".
At this point, the contractor was completely ruined, and he had to finish the project with the money. Originally thought it was a loss-making business, but when he asked Cao Dewang for a loan, Cao Dewang happily settled all the project funds and told him that as long as he did not opportunistically take advantage of it from now on, all the projects of Fuyao could be done for him in the future. The contractor was impressed by Cao Dewang's personality and followed him all the time.
And Cao Dewang did not renege on his word, he contracted 80% of Fuyao's engineering projects, as well as the housing in his hometown, to the contractor foreman of Minhou.
This incident can be said to be a beautiful talk, an interesting thing, and it can also reflect the clean and honest quality of Cao Dewang, after all, not everyone can refuse the temptation of bribery.
Of course, Cao Dewang not only has the characteristics of incorruptibility, he is also not afraid of the power of the outside world!
In 2002, the U.S. Department of Commerce ruled that Fuyao Glass, which sold at a lower than fair value in the United States, caused substantial damage to the U.S. industry and imposed a dumping duty of 11.8% on Fuyao. The Canadian International Trade Tribunal and the Canadian Customs and Excise Service also followed the United States in conducting anti-dumping investigations against four manufacturers of windshields for exported automobiles, including Fuyao.
Other Chinese companies have retreated, but Cao Dewang is not afraid, and he also said: Americans have a big fist, can they bully us? He took the Commerce Department to the Federal Circuit on the grounds that the ruling was unfair.
Fuyao spent several years and cost 100 million yuan to finally win this anti-dumping case, and it is also the first classic case of anti-dumping victory! The United States not only reduced the tax rate to 0.13%, but also refunded $4 million in taxes.
But compared with the hundreds of millions of yuan spent by Cao Dewang, it is too little. So many people say that Cao Dewang is stupid. Only he knew that what he wanted was the mountain.
In 2006, Fuyao performed major surgery on three non-high-end domestic float glass production lines, developed new products, and spent tens of millions of yuan to improve the international logistics system, and Fuyao China Research Institute was also put into operation, laying the foundation for long-term development. In May 2009, Cao Dewang won the EY Global Entrepreneur award, which is the first Chinese entrepreneur to receive this honor since the establishment of the award.
In the face of Cao Dewang's business talent, many people think that it may come from his father. Although his father was one of the shareholders of Wing On Department Store, due to the turbulent situation, as early as Cao Dewang's childhood, his parents moved back to his hometown, and in the process of moving, all the property sank with another ship. Even so, it is enough to see his father's business acumen, and the title of "Glass King" was created by Cao Dewang by relying on his own hands.
We know that after the success of many entrepreneurs, they do not want to give back to the society, but Cao Dewang is different, adhering to ethics and integrity, doing business must be righteous, clean life belief, Cao Dewang has been committed to charity. Cao Dewang, who was once named one of the "Top 10 Philanthropists in China" by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was generous and charitable after he became a family. In the Wenchuan earthquake alone, he has donated more than 20 million yuan. According to statistics from the Fujian Charity Federation, as of November 30, 2008, Cao Dewang had donated 15.27 million yuan to the agency.
After that, Cao Dewang's philanthropy was innumerable, and Cao Dewang said that it was better to put money in the bank than to help people in need.
And Cao Dewang also attaches great importance to his son's education, take his son Cao Hui, who was originally born in a wealthy family, did not worry about eating or wearing, and did not worry about having money to start a business. However, in order to temper his son, Cao Dewang did not let him directly be a high-level because he was his own son. On the contrary, despite the wishes of his son Cao Hui, he forcefully let his son start from scratch several times, start from the grassroots level, be familiar with each post, and fully understand the underlying logic of the enterprise.
From this incident, it can be seen that Cao Dewang's way of education lies in leading by example, because he once started from the grassroots level, so he let his son do the same.
In the face of his "strong" father, Cao Hui has always been filial and low-key, silently accepting his father's "arrangement", doing what his father asked him to do, and never having a different point of view or action from his father on the issue of principle. Cao Hui said that his biggest regret in this life is that he will not cultivate a second Cao Hui like his father. This sentence deeply shows his son's recognition of his father's education, and at the same time, Cao Dewang is also quite satisfied with his son, often praising his sons in words: they are good children who can bear hardships and stand hard work.
In fact, the child in Cao Dewang's eyes is an independent individual, and the value of the two children is unique. Once, when someone questioned the ability of the eldest son, Cao Hui, Cao Dewang responded domineeringly: "Cao Hui may not have the talent of other managers, but he is my son anyway." At this point, Cao Dewang is different from the education of others, he is extremely recognized by his children, believing that they have the ability to become dazzling stars in the night sky.
As the saying goes, "Hitting is scolding is love." "This is the education of the older generation, and Cao Dewang was often beaten half to death by his father when he was a child." But now he did not inherit his father's stick education, and never scolded his children when they made mistakes. Because he knows that children, like adults, are worthy of respect. Perhaps because of this, although Cao Dewang has never disciplined the children with force, he still has a high prestige in front of the children, and even when he speaks, no one dares to interject.
Whether it is from Cao Dewang's family history, the road of charity and the education of his children, it is not difficult for me to see cao Dewang's clean and honest quality. It is precisely with this quality that Cao Dewang, who has come all the way from suffering, has not become obsessed with his heart after his career has been successful. Although he pays attention to enjoying life, such as drinking, spending 5 million to buy red flags, building a mansion of nearly 70 million yuan, and the above-mentioned buying a private jet.
But Cao Dewang can always maintain a normal heart, even in the mansion there is a very out-of-tune vegetable field, and the people who ride the private jets he bought hundreds of millions of dollars are basically his employees, which can be seen that he has not changed, or the clean, honest, moral Cao Dewang.
In Cao Dewang's own words, it is: "I am proud to tell you that I have come all my life and am bright and upright. And Cao Dewang's success is not accidental, it is he has always followed his father's teachings, with integrity and morality, righteousness and righteousness to do business, only to have the "glass king" Cao Dewang. Perhaps it is Cao Dewang, who has these varieties, after his arrogant statement: "My private jet is not something that everyone can sit on", can still get the praise and recognition of everyone, which is enough to see his incorruptible characteristics, which is also worth learning.
