"If she succeeds, people will only envy her current brilliance!" But her buds were soaked with the fountain of tears of struggle and sprinkled with the blood of sacrifice."
As Mr. Bing Xin said, we often envy the bright lives of others, but we often ignore how many ordinary people cannot endure suffering behind their brilliance.
When it comes to hot pot, we will first think of the hottest brand at present - Haidilao.
Nowadays, various hot pot brands are emerging in an endless stream. However, Haidilao can break new ground, focus on thoughtful service features, successfully break through the siege, and climb to the top of the hot pot industry.
Haidilao's hospitality is so deeply rooted in people's hearts that it is closely related to a waitress named Yang Lijuan.
This waitress is not an ordinary waiter.
Today, she is only in her forties, but she is worth billions, and her status is second only to the founder of Haidilao, Daniel Zhang, and she is the second in command.
However, such a successful life has not had a good start.
Yang Lijuan was born into an ordinary rural family in Jianyang, Sichuan Province, and in her junior high school years, her two older brothers failed in business and owed high debts.
In desperation, she was forced to terminate her studies and chose to go out to work.
Such a life start is unsatisfactory, she and thousands of migrant girls, seem to live a life of seeing the head at a glance, working, making money, paying debts, as if life is endless suffering, desperate.
But things in the world are never absolute. The same life experience may lead to results that are completely different from person to person.
Suffering, for the weak, may be an abyss, or it may be a catastrophe. But for the strong, suffering is a wealth to be accumulated, just waiting for someone to open it.
Yang Lijuan, who goes out to work, starts from the most basic restaurant waiter, but even if she is a waiter, her salary is much higher than that of other waiters.
Because she is very clever and diligent, all the guests praise her, and some people even become regular customers in the restaurant because of this small waiter.
In the eyes of other waiters, it is not necessary for her to work so hard, because a waiter is just a waiter, how can she do a good job?
However, opportunities tend to favor only those who are prepared.
Life is like a gold mine, it may be buried deep and not discovered, but once it is mined and opened, the return it brings is beyond imagination and unparalleled.
And this gold mine will also give people different rewards because of their different diligence.
Yang Lijuan's diligence and hard work will certainly not be in vain.
On an ordinary day, a young man named Yang Yong walked into the restaurant where Yang Lijuan worked. At that time, Yang Lijuan did not know that this ordinary-looking person would change her entire life.
Yang Yong found that Yang Lijuan was different from others, she was very clever, she could remember all the guests' requests during the busiest time, handle them in an orderly manner, and would soothe the anxiety of the guests who had been waiting for a long time.
Upon inquiry, Yang Yong found that her salary was one-third higher than others! This further convinced Yang Yong that Yang Lijuan must be a malleable talent, after all, the boss will not give her more salary for no reason.
So Yang Yong, who had just started a business, threw an olive branch to Yang Lijuan, hoping that she could enter her own hot pot restaurant.
But Yang Lijuan refused, because she felt that she could not betray her boss who was very good to her.
However, fate is like an invisible hand, in the dark, controlling people's lives. Soon after, the restaurant where Yang Lijuan worked was suspended for some reason!
So, at the age of 17, she rightfully entered Yang Yong's hot pot restaurant, Haidilao.
At that time, Haidilao was just a small shop in Jianyang, Sichuan, and in Sichuan, where hot pot shops were everywhere, this shop was unknown.
However, the boss Yang Yong has a unique business philosophy, that is, service first.
Maxima is often present, but Bole is not. Yang Lijuan, a tenacious and thick-haired thousand-mile horse, came to a turning point in her life after meeting Bole.
After Yang Lijuan entered Haidilao, she implemented Yang Yong's concept to the end, she trotted through the store every day, providing guests with the most comprehensive service, she will write a summary record every day, take stock of the day's service experience, what growth and shortcomings.
In addition to doing her job well, Yang Lijuan is also very diligent and studious, she has little rest time, reading, learning driver's licenses, and teaching herself the new gadget at that time - the computer.
These things that far exceed the scope of the waiter's work allow Yang Yong to see her shining places, and also pave a solid stepping stone for her later success.
Finally, in 1997, Yang Lijuan was promoted to the manager of a branch of Haidilao, and the success of this migrant girl set sail.
Yang Lijuan, who became a manager, is very supportive of the boss Yang Yong's forward-thinking concept, no matter what the novel requirements, as long as the boss puts forward, she can lead the hot pot shop to achieve, Yang Yong opened a branch in Xi'an, the first time thought of Yang Lijuan, transferred her to Xi'an, alone.
Coming to Xi'an, Yang Lijuan, who is not familiar with life, has taken on this heavy responsibility alone, and it is difficult for outsiders to imagine how much pressure and how much difficulty such a weak little girl has to endure in a foreign land.
She personally went to the street to post advertisements, and alone coped with the hooligans who came to the store to make trouble, this thin Sichuan sister, her heart was extremely strong, no matter what difficulties there were in the road ahead, she dared to rush forward.
Many people are afraid of difficulties, but Yang Lijuan is not afraid.
As Seneca put it, "No one is more unfortunate than someone who has never met misfortune because he has never had the opportunity to test his abilities".
Yang Lijuan's life began to be unfortunate, but her efforts made this misfortune into her ability.
This thousand-mile horse did not live up to the appreciation of Bole, she spent twenty years, accumulated thick and thin, and finally became famous in the world.
In 2018, Haidilao was successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with a market value of more than 80 billion yuan, which was a sensation.
At that time, Yang Lijuan was no longer a small branch manager, but sat in the position of chief operating officer, and the market value of her shares was about 3 billion yuan.
This year, she was just 40 years old.
This migrant girl from Sichuan has achieved her gorgeous counterattack.
Yang Lijuan's life is like a flower on the cliff, and in the midst of suffering, the most brilliant flower has blossomed.
Beethoven once said that pain may destroy a person, but the suffering person can also destroy pain.
In a way, suffering is a gift from God.
Many people think that she was lucky, followed the right boss, and met a good opportunity.
But people often overlook that in order to get the opportunity to succeed, they must first try to create opportunities on their own, rather than stupidly sitting on the side of the road and waiting for the opportunity to take the initiative to come to the door.
