It can be seen that China's domestic paper industry market development is stable, under the influence of the recent era of large price increases, many paper companies have obtained considerable profits. In the first half of this year, China's papermaking enterprises exceeded the mark of 714.2 billion yuan, up 24.7% compared with the same period last year, and the net profit rose by 77.2% compared with last year, which shows that the papermaking industry is very prosperous this year. In the papermaking industry, Zhang Yin, known as the "paper queen", started from scratch and is now worth 29 billion yuan in the list of the new wealth 500 rich people, which can be described as a role model in the hearts of many people.
The paper industry is closely related to people's lives, and people are inseparable from paper in their lives and work. In recent years, many new papermaking companies have poured into the domestic market. As of the first half of this year, 2727 papermaking enterprises have been added in China, and the papermaking industry has developed to 36,500 papermaking enterprises.
There are so many domestic papermaking enterprises, including the famous Sun Paper, Chenming Paper, etc., and the leading boss of the papermaking industry that stands out from many enterprises is the domestic Nine Dragons Paper. As the founder, Zhang Yin is known as the "paper queen" in the industry, and her legendary life makes people can't help but sigh and admire.
Zhang Yin's family is very ordinary, and she has several younger brothers and sisters below her. As the eldest sister in the family, she has been very sensible since she was a child, helping the family to work and take care of her younger siblings. When she grew up, she went to the city to find a job to earn money to support her family through her own efforts. In 1982, when she was working in a joint venture, she came to Hong Kong because of her work relationship.
Cleverly, she discovered that there was a huge business opportunity in Hong Kong's waste paper recycling industry, and she immediately used her rest time to conduct specific field trips to Hong Kong and analyze the industry prospects. Finally, she quit her stable job, carried all her savings of thirty thousand yuan in her pocket, and went to Hong Kong alone, when she was only 27 years old.
Zhang Yin, who came to Hong Kong, learned that recycling waste paper in Hong Kong is not so simple. Waste paper in Hong Kong is mixed with other garbage, mixed with glass, sewage and garbage. Zhang Yin decided to personally inspect the waste paper recycling process to ensure the quality of waste paper. The waste paper acquired by Zhang Yin is of good quality and has been favored by local papermaking enterprises, and gradually more and more papermaking enterprises are willing to cooperate with Zhang Yin.
Zhang Yin finally has a place in Hong Kong's waste paper recycling industry. Five years later, she returned to the mainland with the first pot of gold she earned in Hong Kong. Back in China, Zhang Yin quickly established cooperative relations with many papermaking enterprises, and while working closely with paper mills, Zhang Yin took the next step, transforming from waste paper to papermaking and establishing Zhongnan Paper.
After a few years of development, Zhongnan Holding Company was formally established, and in 1996, Zhang Yin returned to China to establish Nine Dragons Paper, which developed rapidly in China, and successively established three production lines, which quickly increased the production speed, and the output exceeded one million tons in 2002. In 2005, Nine Dragons Paper had surpassed Chenming Paper, which was the first in China at that time, and became the largest papermaking enterprise in China. The share of the domestic market reached 17%.
After ND Paper was successfully listed in 2006, Zhang Yin's value successfully became the first place in the Hurun rankings. Moreover, Zhang Yin is also the richest woman in China, and such a strong woman has achieved the first position in the industry by collecting waste paper. When the financial crisis hit in 2008, the global industry was greatly affected.
According to relevant reports, ND Paper's stock price plummeted and lost 40% in one day of the year, and the outside world once suspected that ND Paper could not hold on and may be on the verge of bankruptcy. In the face of crisis, Zhang Yin calmly and calmly carried out rectification and reform for the current situation of the group, saving costs in production through reform, open source and throttling, and adhering to green environmental protection and not polluting the environment.
In the following year, after Zhang Yin's drastic reforms, Nine Dragons Paper achieved a net profit of 1.338 billion yuan for the whole year, and in 2010, the net profit doubled. In this way, in this global financial crisis, Nine Dragons Paper successfully passed this hurdle. In 2021, Zhang Yin successfully entered the 148th place in the new Fortune 500 rich list with a value of 28.97 billion yuan.
At the same time as the construction of the group, Zhang Yin is also a famous philanthropist. She used every time and opportunity to devote herself wholeheartedly to the charity industry, and in the past year, Zhang Yin led the company to donate a total of 105.1 million yuan. Zhang Yin uses her personality charm to influence many people to join the charity industry like her and fulfill their social responsibilities.
Zhang Yin has courage and ambition in her career, and the Nine Dragons Paper industry she established should not only sit firmly in the position of the leading enterprise in the domestic paper industry, but also build a century-old brand and pass on the Nine Dragons Paper industry. Such a strange woman, with courage and momentum, started from scratch and broke out of her own world with her hands, so that the world can see the momentum and spirit of not letting the eyebrows be shaved, and it is also worth learning from her.
