A successful example is 1: How did he achieve 61200 million yuan from 10 yuan?
1993, he took 400 yuan to Shenzhen, leaving the station with only 10 yuan. He used to sleep on the street and collect scrap metal for a living. But in 20 15, his worth exceeded 61200 million, ranking 125 in the world rich list. Who is he and how did he do it?
Unwilling to be mediocre rural guy
From 65438 to 0970, Wang was born in Anhui village. He was born in poverty and vowed to make a career and get ahead.
1990, fresh out of college, was assigned to work in Shanghai with a monthly salary close to that of 400 yuan. However, his nine-to-five life made him unable to see a bright future.
1992, at the age of 22, he chose to go to Shenzhen, which is a paradise for entrepreneurs. At that time, his luggage was only a cowboy bag, which contained clothes and a dream.
With 400 yuan on me, there are only ten dollars left in Shenzhen! 10 yuan, it took Wang three days. No place to live, just sleep in a cement pipe.
Dismissed factory employees
Fortunately, he found a job as a female worker with a monthly salary of 3800 in a light bulb factory. At that time, the tungsten wire used in the light bulb was very thin, which required female workers to press it into the light bulb, and many people's eyes were tired and bleeding.
Wang therefore led the workers to strike. As a result, all the participants were fired by the boss. The king had to divide his salary among the people. He used to sleep on the street and collect scrap metal with his workmates for a living.
The best warehouse keeper, earning 5 million.
A week later, he joined a Hong Kong-funded enterprise as a warehouse keeper. He rented a 3-square-meter cabin, and one day it rained. When he woke up, the rain had flooded the foot of the bed.
Good white-collar workers don't do it, but they have to suffer in Shenzhen. Many people don't understand him. However, in just 1 month, he showed amazing talent.
Manage the warehouse and handle all kinds of materials. There are thousands of cables, plugs and connectors in his factory, and Wang has memorized all the material codes in his mind.
Without looking up information, thousands of material codes came at once, and Wang became the most sought-after warehouse keeper in Hong Kong headquarters and manufacturing department. ? Just like the college entrance examination, remember it by heart and remember it in a week. ? Wang said it very easily.
In just 1 year, he rose from the lowest warehouse manager to the assistant to the general manager of the factory, and even rose to seven levels!
In the next two years, he went from assistant general manager to sales minister, factory director, deputy general manager and general manager, and he earned the first bucket of gold in his life? Five million.
The factory owner who sleeps in the workshop
1997, Wang zai invested and founded his first enterprise: Shenzhen Electric Wire Factory. Three years of business management experience and familiarity with the industry have given him the confidence to do one thing.
When the factory was built, Wang worked overtime with the workers and slept in the workshop with his clothes at night. In the first month, the factory achieved profitability; In just three months, the monthly sales of the factory increased from 2 million yuan to 6.5438+million yuan, realizing large-scale operation.
Declare bankruptcy and test suppliers
The next development went smoothly, and a new factory was added almost every year. He began to deeply study the success or failure experience of many enterprises and posted the summary of many entrepreneurs' failures on his wall. The final conclusion is that most enterprises are defeated by their partners.
In order to determine which cooperative manufacturers can cooperate for a long time, Wang announced to the outside world that one of his factories was going to close down. At that time, the factory owed about 50 million yuan to its suppliers.
? In fact, I have prepared nearly 1 100 million to repay these loans. After the news came out, the suppliers performed differently. Some immediately turn their faces and deny people, go to the door to force debts, shout and kill, and there is a tendency that you will be finished if you don't pay back the money. And some people say: if you have money, you will pay back the money you owe. . ? Wang said to him. Finally, most suppliers who don't force debts have become his strategic partners.
Grasp the trend and make big money.
After experiencing the Asian financial crisis, Wang began to study the laws of the global economic crisis. To make big money, we must grasp the global trends and patterns? .
In 2005, because a copper pole project in Tongling, Anhui attracted investment from Shenzhen, Wang accidentally entered the copper industry. In the global financial crisis in 2008, the price of copper fell to more than 20,000 yuan, and he decisively bought1000,000 tons of spot and 300,000 tons of futures. In the end, he sold it at a price of 40,000-80,000 yuan a ton, making a huge profit.
In 20 14 years, Wang was worth 61200 million on the Forbes list. In 20 15, Wang ranked 27th on the Hurun Report, surpassing Liu of the group.
Example 2: Sima Qian refused mediocrity.
Sima Qian was born in a family of historical books. He read a lot of poetry books, studied and traveled as a teenager, read thousands of books, took the road of Wan Li, and had the ambition of taking clouds. Later, he was appointed as Taishiling, inherited his father's business and wrote books. He refused mediocrity and hoped to improve his self-reliance and virtue through practice, making contributions to future generations and the world. After Li Ling's disaster, Lide made meritorious service? It's a distant dream. How can a guilty minister talk about virtue? There is only a choice between life and death. Sima Qian experienced the cruelest choice. If you are punished, if nine cows die, what is the difference with ants? The secular world will not compare him with the man who died because of sticking to the festival, but will only think that he was mentally exhausted, guilty, unable to escape from himself and was finally killed. Live silently for the death penalty? Will be considered greedy for life, hate death, and spit on life. It is even more difficult to live in humiliation for a fair death. ? Inherent death, or more important than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather? At this time, Sima Qian, with the change of the current situation and the painful feeling of heartbreaking, turned to make a statement, write a book and say that he refused the belief of mediocre death, which made him endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens and survive strongly. He expects to leave his name in the long river of history by issuing a statement, which will be immortal and wash away the shame.
Sima Qian's choice is shocking and often unbearable. This is compared with his choice to make contributions with a generous and upright voice before the Liling disaster. His heart has been forged and honed like fire, and his heart is more tenacious and mature, like a silkworm chrysalis turning into a butterfly, and his spirit has made a qualitative leap. Sima Qian refused mediocre information, and his dream changed accordingly, showing a dynamic process. He finally chose immortality, and he succeeded. He refused mediocrity because of the following factors: a family of history books, and his father was a historian, which impressed him deeply; I have read all the royal books and learned a lot. On-the-spot investigation, observation of surrounding mountains and customs, contact with many things in North Korea; Open-minded and full of innovative potential, he can absorb outstanding talents and knowledge from macro knowledge; His life experience and bumpy circumstances have given him extraordinary understanding and insight into life. Coupled with the subjective will to reject mediocrity and continue to reject mediocrity and inaction, he was able to write the masterpiece Historical Records and complete his father's legacy.
Mr. Lu Xun praised Historical Records as: The historian's swan song has no rhythm. ? Why did Historical Records get such praise? It is precisely because Historical Records shows Sima Qian's outstanding talents and thoughts. ? Historian's swan song? In other words, Historical Records is the swan song of historical books, which has valuable value that historical books before and after Historical Records lack. Sima Qian pioneered the style of biographical history books, jumping from notes and words in the past to notes. He thinks that the flag is the first to record history. After that, those who made history were second to none. Historical Records is not only a historical book, but also a literary masterpiece. It is a model of the perfect combination of history and literature, and later history books have not surpassed it. The author reasonably fictionalized some festivals and scenes, such as Fan Kuai's broken account and Xiang Yu's suicide in Wujiang River, which played a role in rendering and setting off objects, while the corresponding materials, such as Hanshu and Zitongzhijian, were just simple notes. He also pioneered the method of cross-viewing history, dispersing the deeds and comments of the masters in several articles, reading each other irregularly, complementing each other and avoiding repetition. All these make Historical Records, the originator of official history, original and unique, which is beyond the reach of later historical books.
? No rhyme *? That is to say, Historical Records is a poem without rhythm, so it can be compared with the rhythmic poem Li Sao. Qu Yuan placed a deep affection in Li Sao, and Sima Qian also placed a deep affection in Historical Records. He is not empty of beauty, does not hide evil, and clearly hates. He has a strong * * sound and reverence for Qu Yuan's psychology of burying the fish belly in Miluo without suffering from dirt. His praise of Qu Yuan is not obscure, nor is his sneer at the evil of cruel officials. He devoted more grief and sympathy to the majestic overlord Xiang Yu and the difficult general Li Guang. However, a generation of emperor Liu Bang was not only admired, but even criticized. In Biography of Gaozu, Gaozu was an elder and a benevolent man, but in Biography of Xiang Yu, it showed a selfish and heartless side. Why is Mr Sima so sensitive to such frustrated and sad people as Xiang Yu, Li Guang and Qu Yuan? This has much to do with what happened to him. These spiritual pursuits that have something in common with him have given him a sense of psychological identity and an irresistible fate similar to his, which makes him feel sad. So in his works, these things have immortal souls and shocking power. Sima Qian confessed in An Shu, the guarantor, and wrote Historical Records. When studying in heaven, what is the word of the family? He did it. With his outstanding talent and thought, extraordinary will and tenacity, after more than ten years, he wrote this masterpiece "Historical Records", which can be passed down from generation to generation, and drew an exclamation mark for his life of refusing mediocrity and striving for transcendence!
Successful example 3: full of self-confidence, unwilling to be mediocre
There was an experiment: a long-distance runner participated in a five-person team race. Before the race, the coach said to him, as far as I know, the strength of the other four people is not as good as yours.
As a result, the athlete easily ran the first place. Later, the coach asked him to take part in a competition of ten people. The coach showed him other people's grades. He found that others' grades were not as good as his own, and he easily ran the first place again.
Later, the athlete took part in a team competition of 20 people. The coach said that if you beat one of them, you can win. As a result, he followed the athlete mentioned by the coach in the competition and finally won the first place in the sprint.
Later, he moved to another place. The coach didn't communicate with him about other athletes before the game. He narrowly won the first place in the five-person team competition. Later, in the team competition of ten, he slipped to the second place, and in the team competition of twenty, he only took the fifth place. The actual situation is that each group of athletes is at the same level as the first time.
Yes, we often do this in our life, lacking the ability to estimate our opponents, and often arranging a lower position for ourselves, just like the students at school: in primary school, we were the best in our class and thought the first place was ours; After I entered junior high school, there were more people, and I thought it would be good to be in the top ten, so I was complacent as soon as I entered the top ten; After high school, I set a lower goal, even if the test is slightly different, I will comfort myself: it is good to have so many masters. In this way, he will step by step from excellent to mediocre.
A famous entrepreneur once said that an excellent talent, his confidence, will last forever. If we were originally a piece of gold, we will eventually become a grain of sand because of the lack of eternal self-confidence. We're great. However, it is our lack of self-confidence that has pulled us down from an excellent position step by step to a mediocre position. Self-indulgence in mediocrity is a disaster and a tragedy of life. However, more often than not, we directed this disaster and tragedy ourselves.
No one can do everything, so asking for help is inevitable. In fact, many times, asking for help is really not as good as asking for help. If others can do it, maybe you can do it.
Qi Baishi, a master of Chinese painting, was still an unknown rural painter when he was thirty-two years old. That year, in his hometown, a scholar known as a famous seal engraver came, and many people asked him to engrave. Painting needs printing, but Qi Baishi is a carpenter and can't seal. Usually the seals used for painting are carved by someone. So he took a Shoushan stone and asked the man to carve a seal. The man put it aside without looking and said he would pick it up in a few days.
A few days later, Qi Baishi went to get it. The man returned the stone seal and said, smooth it and engrave it! ? Qi Baishi was very depressed when he saw that Shoushi was smooth and flat, but since people said so, he had to patiently polish it for a long time before sending it. (inspirational article) Who knows that the man didn't even look at it and still put it aside. A few days later, I went to ask, but I still returned the Shoushi and let Qi Baishi go back and grind it proudly. In a fit of pique, Qi Baishi took back Shoushi, determined to teach himself seal cutting and never be subject to others again. Qi Baishi didn't have a carving knife at first, so he found a pedicure knife and carved it into a seal overnight.
The next day, Qi Baishi showed the seal carved by pedicure knife to others, but he was praised unexpectedly. From then on, he constantly asked Fang Jia for carving methods, participated in carving techniques, and slowly learned seal cutting. Relying on this spirit of being unwilling to be mediocre, Qi Baishi finally became a master of art who combined poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing.
Imagine, if that person was willing to carve seals for Qi Baishi at that time, would there be a sui generis seal carving of Qi Baishi? It seems that even the potential of a master depends on stimulation, but the key is that you don't want to be mediocre.
There is another story. It is said that one day, Dongpo, a Buddhist, questioned his old friend Fo Yin Zen Master about Guanyin. Since he is avalokitesvara, why should he recite the scriptures by himself?
Fo Yin said with a smile? It is better to rely on yourself than to seek help from others. ?
It not only solved Dongpo's attack wisely, but also made the world unforgettable and benefited a lot.
We will ask Guanyin for anything, but we don't know that Guanyin is also asking for herself with rosary. If you don't work hard, it won't help if others work hard It will only make you lazier and more dependent. Others are excellent, but you are mediocre.
It is better to ask for help than for yourself, because there is no savior in this world, and everything depends on yourself. Turn the resistance of others into help, turn the help of others into motivation, and grasp your own future in order to move towards glory. As long as there is sunshine in our hearts, we are confident and unwilling to be mediocre. We are also Guanyin ourselves.
