Li Haicang is a representative figure of the whole Shanxi region, he was the chairman of Shanxi Haixin Iron and Steel Group, a veritable private steel king, once served as the vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, the vice president of the Shanxi Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce, and the director of the Yuncheng People's Congress.
Li Haicang is very honest, and he also has his own set of unique ideas in running a business, he is an entrepreneur who has come out of the rural land, and he pays more attention to the ability and mentality of talents, rather than blindly using high education to select employees.
"Many people think that most successful entrepreneurs are graduates of famous universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University, but in fact, most of the outstanding entrepreneurs are mostly honed in the market." This sentence is the view put forward by the famous economist Zhong Pengrong when he was invited to visit the headquarters of Haixin Steel.
This view coincides with Li Haicang's point of view, and since then Li Haicang has become more determined to select employees from those who are capable, and the development of Haixin Iron and Steel Group has become more and more successful.
At the beginning of 1987, Haixin Iron and Steel built a factory in Wenxi County, Yuncheng, and since then it has developed at a rate of almost one new plant a year, and in 14 years, Haixin Iron and Steel has created 2 billion assets at a cost of 400,000 yuan, second only to TISCO in terms of local scale.
Tycoon of rural origin
Born in 1955 in a rural area of Shanxi, Li Haicang had excellent academic performance and a very flexible mind. Although his family is in the countryside, Li Haicang is not subject to his origin, but has a firm belief that through the efforts of his own hands, he will be able to create wealth.
After growing up, Li Haicang was admitted to the Management Engineering Department of Wuhan Iron and Steel Institute with excellent results, Li Haicang cherished the reading time here, he seriously studied his professional knowledge, waiting for one day to play his strength in the work position.
Some students only think about how to mix a diploma here, but what Li Haicang thinks about is how to start a business through technology, and at that time, Li Haicang has deeply realized the importance of technology and productivity to an enterprise.
In 1975, Li Haicang became a worker in Chuancunkou, Dongzhen, Wenxi County, Yuncheng, where he worked in a frying factory, and Li Haicang, who came to work, never complained about the hardships and fatigue of this job, and even endured the smell of choking oil smoke to work here for more than ten hours a day.
He followed the teacher in the factory to study intently, and then carefully summarized when he went home to rest, and slowly he accumulated considerable work experience, which was very eye-catching among the young people who came to the factory at the same time.
With his excellent results in the frying field, Li Haicang quickly gained the favor of the leaders, and he waited for an opportunity to be promoted, and in 1977, at the age of 22, Li Haicang left the production line and became the director of the Cunkou Soap Factory in Dongchuan Town, Wenxi County.
Although this was only a small soap factory, in the social context at that time, it was already a very good job, but Li Haicang's life goal was not just to be the director of a small soap factory.
He was assassinated at the age of 48
Li Haicang began his own entrepreneurial road in the post of factory director, he saw the unique advantages of coal mine resources in Shaanxi Province, and saw the importance of resources and the connection between resources and the whole country.
At the beginning of 1987, Li Haicang raised a principal of 400,000 yuan and established the first joint-stock coal washing and coking plant in Yuncheng Wenxi County.
Haixin Iron and Steel Group covers an area of 3.6 square kilometers, with seven independent legal person enterprises such as Santie Coking Plant, Haixin Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., Haixin Investment Co., Ltd., Hisense Rolling Iron Co., Ltd., and Haixin International Steel Co., Ltd., and finally formed a large-scale private enterprise with total assets of 3 billion yuan.
On the morning of January 22, 2003, Li Haicang came to the office as usual, because there were many things on the day, Li Haicang received several batches of different guests, and after the exchange with the guests, Li Haicang returned to the office to rest.
At this time, Li Haicang's office was the innermost part of the entire office building, and outside this office there was a room full of news reporters and media.
Soon after Li Haicang returned to the office, everyone heard a "bang", which was very muffled and heavy, because the office was covered with thick carpets, and everyone thought that the items had fallen.
But then there was a thudding sound, and the crowd realized that Li Haicang might have suffered an accident, and a waiter opened the door of Li Haicang's office, only to find that he had been killed with a gun.
And the body of the murderer is also next to it, the murderer committed suicide with a gun, after the police investigation, the murderer named Feng Yinliang, is Li Haicang's hair small, this 48-year-old Shanxi richest man was shot by a small shooting case not only caused the whole Haixin Group to shake, but also caused a lot of discussion in Shanxi.
The son lost 10 billion in 11 years
The news of Li Haicang's death has made the employees of the entire Haixin Group very sad, in the hearts of these employees, Li Haicang has always been a boss who loves his job and cares for his employees, and does not have the consistent shelf and style of rich people.
In the local area, Li Haicang's reputation is also very good, he will take out a part of the group's profits every year to give back to the society, and the local people are also very fond of him.
Feng Yinliang was originally Li Haicang's small hair, he did not manage well in his early years, and he lost money in business, but he did not reflect on his own problems, and after seeing that Fa Xiao was developed, he asked him to invest for himself.
After Li Haicang refused, Feng Yinliang took out the gun he had prepared earlier and shot at him.
After Li Haicang's death, his son Li Zhaohui took over the Haixin Iron and Steel Group, but Li Zhaohui would not run the enterprise at all, and after he took office, he had no clue about the operation of Haixin Steel, and even invested indiscriminately.
In 2017, the Shanghai Higher People's Court publicly announced that Li Zhaohui was about to be restricted from leaving the country because he did not fulfill his obligations in legal documents. In November 2018, Li Zhaohui was involved in a debt collection dispute case totaling 216 million yuan and was listed as untrustworthy.
Li Haicang left Li Zhaohui not only the entire Haixin Iron and Steel Group, but also rich assets, which totaled more than 10 billion yuan, but were defeated by Li Zhaohui in just eleven years.
brief summary:
The son of Shanxi's richest man in the past is now mired in a whirlpool of debt. Li Haicang is a diligent and down-to-earth private family, but his son does not think of making progress, does not do the right thing, and eventually ends up in such a fate after losing the family's birth, and the scenery of the past has been buried under the list of untrustworthiness.
