As the saying goes, "three generations of wealth is not enough". Wang Yongqing, once the richest Man in China, has been dead for 13 years, but the Developmental Plastics Group he founded has not been smooth in recent years. In 2019, Formosa Plastics Group's revenue fell by 15% compared with 2018, and its pre-tax profit was only 207.4 billion yuan, down 46.5% from 2018. Because of the large number of wives and children, as many as more than ten children, after Wang Yongqing's death, Formosa Plastics Group fell into a huge inheritance dispute. In this situation, the friction continues to deplete the cohesion of the Formosa Plastics Group, and in this situation, Thermos people often miss their first generation of helmsmen, Wang Yongqing.
Wang Yongqing is regarded as the "god of management", and his Formosa Plastics Group is the number one enterprise in Taiwan. But who would have thought that he started with 200 yuan? What is the wonderful story of this legendary giant businessman?
01 Patriotic gangster
On November 15, 2008, wang Yongqing died at the age of 92 in his apartment in New Jersey, USA. He walked peacefully, he died in his sleep, and Heaven gave this old man the greatest respect for good management and charity.
At the memorial service held in Taiwan, well-known entrepreneur Terry Gou came to the memorial service. He suddenly knelt down in front of Elder Wang's spiritual seat and prostrated his head three times. Gou Taiming slowly got up, and when the main family was ready to greet the guests, Gou Taiming knelt down again and prostrated three times to Elder Wang's spiritual seat. After prostrating his head, Gou stood up and knelt down again, prostrating his head again. Three consecutive kneelings caused consternation among the on-site personnel.
Gou told others that Wang Yongqing was the businessman he most admired, and that he knelt three times and prostrated himself to thank Wang Yongqing for his teaching.
However, Gou learned Wang Yongqing's way of doing business, but did not learn his way of being a man.
In recent years, Gou's wind evaluation has not been good, on the one hand, he threatened the government under the pretext of solving the employment of millions of people on the mainland, on the other hand, he gradually transferred Foxconn's industry to South Asian countries such as India. Especially during the epidemic period, he received bad comments from netizens for not donating money. He even took the initiative to stop a number of Huawei production lines when the United States blockaded and suppressed Huawei.
Wang Yongqing, on the other hand, has done good deeds on the mainland and is affectionately called "Wang Yuanwai" by mainland netizens. In the 1980s, after the relaxation of relations between the mainland and Taiwan, Wang Yongqing came to the mainland and launched a plan to invest tens of billions of dollars, although this plan was not finally implemented, but Wang Yongqing's patriotism was praised by the people and national leaders of the mainland. Comrade Xiaoping received Wang Yongqing many times.
After that, Wang Yongqing changed his investment plan and invested more than 100 billion yuan in the mainland in the past 30 years. One of the most typical is the Chang Gung Hospital that he invested billions of yuan to build in Xiamen. In addition to providing medical services for the masses, Chang Gung Hospital has also made great contributions to the motherland in medical scientific research.
Wang Yongqing once visited the western part of the mainland, saw that the education here was backward, and was determined to build 10,000 Hope Primary Schools on the mainland, which is still being implemented, and the construction of 4,200 primary schools has now been completed.
After the Wenchuan earthquake, Wang Yongqing donated 100 million yuan in the name of Formosa Plastics Group. Wang Yongqing also bought 150,000 mu of land in the United States and donated it to the motherland free of charge.
Compared with business giants such as Gou Taiming and Li Ka-shing, Wang Yongqing's personality charm and patriotic heart are judged high, and Wang Yongqing will surely be famous in history.
02 200 yuan from home road
Wang Yongqing has a famous saying: "The things of the world, there is no ease, comfortable so that you can get, everything must be painstakingly pursued, in order to truly understand the mystery and gain something." ”
Wang Yongqing was born in 1917 in a merchant's house in Taiwan. Because Taiwan was in the Japanese occupation period at that time, the life of the Wang family was not rich. Wang Yongqing only finished primary school and became an apprentice. At the age of 15, he borrowed 200 yuan from his father to start a business.
He started out in the rice business and opened a rice shop. With her reputation in the rice business, she went on to work in the construction business and then in the timber business. It is worth mentioning here that it was the Kuomintang's retreat to Taiwan that urgently needed a large number of housing to bring huge profits to Wang Yongqing's construction and timber business.
In 1954, Wang Yongqing ignored the opposition of his family and resolutely invested all his family property to establish Formosa Plastics Group. At that time, Wang Yongqing was only 38 years old. For most people, gambling on all their family property to start a business at this age is almost something they dare not do.
Of course, Wang Yongqing's entrepreneurial road is not smooth, at the beginning of the business, he also experienced the problem of product backlog and shareholder withdrawal, but Wang Yongqing persevered. Formosa Plastics Group has been involved in construction, plastics, petrochemical, medical, electronics, education and other industries, becoming Taiwan's "King of Kings Enterprise", ranking among the world's top 50 enterprises. In the 1980s, Formosa Plastics' annual sales reached $3 billion. In 2010, the total revenue was 450 billion yuan.
Wang Yongqing has created the myth of Taiwan's richest man, and what is even more valuable is that wang Yongqing's legendary story of almost starting from scratch has inspired generations of young people to chase their dreams. Wang Yongqing's daughter Wang Xuehong founded HTC Group under the inspiration of her father's story. Of course, Gou's founding of Foxconn Group was also influenced by Wang Yongqing.
03 The God of Management
Generally speaking of the "god of management", we first think of in Japan's Inawa Morio, Matsushita Konosuke and others, in fact, in China we also have our own "god of management", he is Wang Yongqing. Wang Yongqing's contribution to business operations is no less than that of the Japanese.
We may be able to glimpse Wang Yongqing's business practices from a small story: at the Formosa Plastics Museum, there is a towel on display, which Wang Yongqing specially used to make towel exercises, and this towel he used for 27 years.
There are many articles on the Internet that teach Wang Yongqing's classic business cases, in fact, if we study carefully, we will find that Wang Yongqing highly advocates "pressure management" and "reward management".
The so-called pressure management is actually a kind of self-obsessive spirit, forcing themselves to carry out exquisite services to customers, forcing themselves to strictly manage their time, and forcing themselves to make the ultimate use of money and materials. It is said that Wang Yongqing works more than 100 hours a week, and he will make special use of lunch time to listen to reports from subordinates and make full use of the time for eating.
The so-called "reward management" is easier to understand, Wang Yongqing often gives red envelopes to subordinates in addition to normal material and spiritual rewards, which is called "another package".
Wang Yongqing's life is a legendary life, a wonderful life, and even more a respectable life. Throughout his life, he was pragmatic, thrifty, thrifty, patriotic, charitable and low-key. The Si people have gone, and the spirit of the Wang clan lives on forever.
