How did Ito Sasakawa achieve such a great success? Speaking of which, it's quite legendary.
It should be said that his background is not bad. The Sagawa family is the largest family and a big landlord in Bancang Village, Neicheng County, Niigata Prefecture. Ito Sagawa's father is the principal of a local primary school, and his wife is in charge of everything in the family. Ito Sasakawa is the third child in the family. He has two brothers, a younger brother and a younger sister. He was called? Master Sagawa? .
However, when he was 8 years old, his mother died of illness. With the help of relatives, my father married a girl's primary school teacher as a second wife. The arrival of this stepmother completely changed his life. Sasakawa Ito is the most stubborn of their brothers, and he hates this stepmother the most. Stepmother has no feelings for her husband's ex-wife's child, and hates this unruly child even more. She tried her best to abuse him, mainly by not giving him food. My father was not at home often, but later he learned that the relationship between the third child and his stepmother was tense, but he couldn't marry a second wife, so he had to pretend not to know. Stepmother means more and more malicious, Sagawa Qing fled from an early age? Hell? The idea of running away from home.
At school, his academic performance was not good, and he barely passed all the subjects. But he likes sports, and he was forced to do some heavy physical work by his stepmother since he was a child. He is very strong. He also often fights with people. Is he famous locally? The king of children? . After finishing primary school, my grades in junior high school are getting worse and worse, and I failed almost every subject. The teacher wants him to quit school, but it's hard to say because of his father's face. Sasakawa realized it, so he wrote a withdrawal and didn't tell his father. The teacher asked his father if he knew about it. He nodded his head. So, the teacher gave him a withdrawal procedure at that time. Father knew that the third child was not the material for studying, and he got angry afterwards. Forget it.
At this time, Sasakawa has made up his mind to run away from home. That year, he 15 years old. When I left home, I had only fifty cents on me. I bought a platform ticket for the train and got on the train, but I couldn't get out of Kyoto. On the platform, he saw a man wearing? Maruyama? He remembered that the porter had a cousin named Ito Toyoji who worked in Maruyama Transportation Company.
Ito Sasakawa thinks he has the strength to be a porter. So the porter took him to Oshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Maruyama? The company headquarters is there. At the end of the road, he came into contact with freight work for the first time in his life, and he fell in love with it, which decided the fate of his life.
During the Edo period in Japan, the porter industry was equivalent to the later postal express delivery. In the Meiji era, with the national postal service, the porter industry was abolished in the system, but the form of private express delivery still existed, mainly to transport parcels.
Later, his father learned the news from his cousin and made a special trip to the tail road to pick him up. But not long after, he ran away from home again and still went to his porter on the tail road. Most people can't understand why a young master wants to be a porter after improper placement. Maybe he was born to be in this industry.
1942, Ito Sagawa is 20 years old. According to Japanese government regulations, he has reached the age of military service. When he went to the physical examination, although he was strong, he was sentenced to be deaf in his right ear because of fighting as a child. The second B? , that is, unqualified, so that he escaped military service.
Later, the Japanese army lost in the Pacific battlefield with heavy casualties, and the war had already burned to Japan. The militaristic government still wants to be dying, and then it doesn't matter. The second B? Or? c？ Physique, you have to go to war. After receiving the enlistment order, Sasakawa received three months of crew training and was sent to a 7000-ton transport ship? Rosin pills? Be a sailor. It was August 1945, and the war was coming to an end, but the Japanese didn't know it. The night before departure, he thought, this trip is probably not coming back. With this sad mood, he went to a restaurant to drink, but he got drunk. When he reached the dock, the ship had already left. ? Rosin pills? It was a troop ship that was sunk by an American submarine on its way to the front. If he hadn't been drunk, he would have died at the bottom of the sea. If the war continues, Ito Sasakawa will inevitably be executed for escaping. Fortunately, a few days later, Japan surrendered, the army was disarmed, and no one bothered him again.
After the war, many Japanese cities were in ruins because of the air raids by American planes day and night at the end of the war. Reconstruction requires a lot of manpower. Sasakawa works in a company called? Kurita Group? Our construction team got a job. He did a good job and was soon promoted to the boss's assistant. Later, the boss wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, but Ito Sagawa always missed a peasant girl named Yukio Edano in his hometown, and they were privately engaged. The boss's kindness made him feel inconvenient to refuse face to face, so he had to take an evasive approach and left without saying goodbye to another construction team in Tachikawa, Tokyo? Ikeda formation? Work. Because he was already familiar with civil engineering at this time, he soon became famous there, and the boss called him to discuss everything.
Ikeda Group contracted the project of the American occupation army, and there was too much work. What Japan lacks most at this time is manpower. It is difficult to recruit young people who can work. One day, the boss called him and asked him if he could find a way to recruit some workers. Sasakawa promised to give it a try. He returned to his hometown Bancang Village, found his childhood friends, and asked them to recruit some people separately. Then I actually got 75 people. He told the boss the news by telephone, and the occupying forces immediately took over all the projects there.
Ito Sagawa naturally became the head of these 75 people. Under his leadership, they finished those projects ahead of schedule. In order to thank and comfort these folks, Ito Sagawa held a banquet with wine. Someone at the banquet suggested that he still wanted to work with him in the future, and everyone else echoed. Sasakawa knew that once the project was over, the construction team would have to be dissolved, and Ikeda Group could not take them all in. The only way is to set up an independent engineering team and let him be the boss.
Sasakawa think twice. When he explained this to Ikeda's boss, he didn't expect the other party to readily agree. That's it. I know you are not the kind of person who always walks behind others. ?
So, Ito Sasakawa was founded in 1948? Sagawa Group? . This year, he was only 26 years old and was the eldest brother in this group. He didn't pretend to be the boss and paid the workers twice as much as the ordinary carpenter at that time. Unexpectedly, in this way, these workers spare no effort to work hard, and the work efficiency is amazing.
