Women's independence has always been a hot topic in society. Especially those women who show women's independence are deeply concerned and appreciated by the society, such as Gree Dong Mingzhu and Laoganma Tao Huabi, who are all representatives of successful women in modern society. The independent and successful woman we are going to talk about today is closely related to a very important express delivery industry in modern life, which can be said to be related to almost everyone's life.
Chen Xiaoying, the founder of Shentong, is inextricably linked with Zhongtong, Tong Yuan and Dayun. It can be said that Chen Xiaoying is closely related to half of the express delivery industry in China. Chen Xiaoying's legend lies not only in the creation of Shentong, but also in the fact that she sold the Shentong she founded to Ma Yun's Alibaba at a price of 65.438+0.46 billion, and earned tens of billions by selling umbrellas again with her existing wealth. Let's take a look at Chen Xiaoying's growth process and the road to independent entrepreneurship.
Chen Xiaoying was born in an ordinary worker's family in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in 1970s. In her childhood memory, although her family was not very rich, she ate well and was simple and happy. Unfortunately, when Chen Xiaoying was in junior high school, disaster suddenly came to this ordinary family. Chen Xiaoying's father was diagnosed with cancer, and it was terminal. This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to Chen Xiaoying's family.
Without a father as the pillar of a family, it is difficult for Chen Xiaoying's mother to support the whole family by herself. Faced with this situation, teenage Chen Xiaoying had no choice but to drop out of school. She comforted herself that the purpose of studying and looking for a job is to make money to support her family. Now she can start working to earn money to support her family. The process is different, but the ultimate goal is the same. After making up his mind, Chen Xiaoying finished school, entered a printing and dyeing factory, became an ordinary worker, and began a new stage of life.
Chen Xiaoying, 14 or 15 years old, studied very hard and was very alert and energetic after entering the printing and dyeing factory. This desire and hard work for work and life is the highlight of Chen Xiaoying. Not only that, she often holds a satisfied attitude towards life and work. It is precisely because of her personality and style of doing things that she has been honed and improved in the years of working in the factory. As an adult, Chen Xiaoying met Nie Tengfei in the factory and entered a happy marriage hall.
A few years later, Chen Xiaoying met a business opportunity that changed her life. It was the 1990s, and it was also a period of rapid economic and trade development at home and abroad. New development means new challenges and opportunities. The development of economy and trade has promoted the rapid growth of commodity transportation demand in all walks of life. At that time, the domestic enterprises undertaking commodity logistics were mainly postal services, but they could not meet the market demand. Smart Chen Xiaoying and her husband Nie Tengfei found business opportunities and decided to join the commodity logistics industry. So, Chen Xiaoying and her husband resigned from the factory and started a new logistics company-Shentong Express. Since then, it has not only changed the life in Chen Xiaoying, but also changed the development of the logistics industry in China.
Taking advantage of the trend, Shentong Express soon became a leading enterprise in the logistics industry, which can be said to be a well-developed enterprise among private enterprises. This also gives Chen Xiaoying and his wife a good career and love, a happy life and a promising future. Unexpectedly, an accident once again broke Chen Xiaoying's beautiful life. Chen Xiaoying's husband died unexpectedly in a car accident, which brought a great blow to Chen Xiaoying. What's more sad is that Chen Xiaoying was faced with the "internal disintegration" of Shentong Express Company founded by himself shortly after losing his lover.
While losing his beloved, Chen Xiaoying also faces betrayal from important members of the company. On one occasion, he and Mr. and Mrs. Chen Xiaoying set out to set up the financial director of Shentong Express Company, regardless of their friendship, and took away their confidants and assistants in Shentong Express Company to set up Tong Yuan Express Company. What's more, once mutual benefit wins, friendly partners suddenly dig people from Shentong Company and set up ZTO Express Company. A series of demolition and beating made the difficulties of Chen Xiaoying Shentong Company suddenly increase.
Unexpected things continue, and Chen Xiaoying and Shentong Express Company, betrayed by their relatives, have been hit hard again. After Chen Xiaoying's husband's brother died unexpectedly, he brought a group of talents from Shentong Express Company almost non-stop and founded Dayun Express Company to seize the market together with Shentong Express Company. Faced with such a blow, Chen Xiaoying still managed to run Shentong Express Company, which was founded by her late husband.
Faced with the company's difficulties, Chen Xiaoying decided to cooperate with his brother to create the brilliance of Shentong Express Company. They actively learn new operation and management models, keep abreast of market changes and revise their development models. Not only that, Chen Xiaoying also quickly grasped the market demand of Alibaba Tmall Shopping Festival, and immediately won the logistics tracking service, which laid an important foundation for Shentong Company to regain its glory. Facts have proved that people who work hard will always be rewarded. While many colleagues were waiting to see Chen Xiaoying's jokes, Shentong Express Company won 40% market share in Tmall Double Eleven Shopping Festival with its good express service and sincere attitude, and achieved a great victory.
The temporary success did not stop Chen Xiaoying. In the process of continuous efforts to develop the company, Chen Xiaoying also acquired a 60% stake in Tian Tian Express Company. Interestingly, in the process of continuous contact with Xi Chunyang, the chairman of Tian Tian Express Company, Chen Xiaoying got the spark of love and got married. This is another good news for Chen Xiaoying. At this point, Chen Xiaoying's worth has reached1more than 3 billion. Surprisingly, Chen Xiaoying did not continue to develop in Shentong Express, but chose to sell shares in Shentong Company. Among them, 4.6% shares of Shen Express Company/KLOC-0 were sold for 4.66 billion yuan, and 3 1.35% shares were sold to Ma Yun's Alibaba for 9.982 billion yuan.
After selling the shares of Shentong Express Company, Chen Xiaoying, who seemed to be in rags, did not stop starting his business, but started his business again with the existing capital and achieved great success. The business opportunity discovered by Chen Xiaoying is an ordinary umbrella that people use every day. The umbrella she sells is small and portable, easy to spin dry, and the handle is equipped with a flashlight device, which is light and practical and very popular with young people. In addition, this new umbrella adopts the sales model of small profits but quick turnover, which suddenly opens the market and makes Chen Xiaoying's second venture successful.
Chen Xiaoying, who achieved great success and wealth, has been ranked 60th in the list of the richest women in history, but she turned to charity without losing her heart. Building roads and donating money have become the norm for her to do charity, and she has also established an education fund in Zhejiang University. After a fierce and complicated commercial struggle, it seems that pure charity can better feel the true colors of Chen Xiaoying, which is her touching point: kindness and alertness, hard work and sincerity.
