When it comes to the "three horses" in the financial world, many people can quickly think of "Jack Ma's" Alibaba and Ma Huateng's "Tencent".
The third boss named Ma seems to have been hiding behind the two people.
Ordinary people don't know much about him, and they don't even know his name.
As everyone knows, his name is Ma Mingzhe, and he is currently the chairman of Ping An Group of China.
He once relied on his own strength to develop a small team of 12 people into China's Ping An Company with total assets of 620 million, creating a business empire that is second to none in the industry.
As a leading industry within the industry, Ma Mingzhe's decision often triggers a series of chain reactions.
As Ping An Group has developed diversified businesses in recent years, Ma Mingzhe has established inextricable connections with many real estate companies.
Ma Mingzhe’s investment projects involve real estate groups such as China Resources, Greenland, Country Garden, and Vanke.
With such a wide scope of involvement, it can be said that he is China’s largest “invisible landlord”.
He has run Ping An Group conscientiously for more than 30 years, making this large enterprise like a stable ship sailing on the sea of ??the times.
He led "Ping An" to overcome many difficulties one after another and is still standing today.
Even Sun Hongbin, the former successor of Lenovo, said bluntly: I owe him a favor.
What is all this about?
Ma Mingzhe was born in Zhanjiang, Guangdong in 1955. His father was a soldier and his mother was an overseas Chinese who had returned from overseas.
Unfortunately, his father died early, and Ma Mingzhe grew up under the influence of his mother.
He recalled his childhood experience and said, At that time, he was always beaten by his mother, and he never cried even if he was greatly wronged.
He knew that his mother had to shoulder the burden of life alone for his healthy growth, which was already very difficult for a weak woman.
The good family tradition allowed Ma Mingzhe to develop a strong character from an early age, which laid a good foundation for him to later venture out alone.
The young Ma Mingzhe understood these principles early on and often took the initiative to help his mother with housework to reduce her burden.
After graduating from high school at the age of 18, Ma Mingzhe accepted the organization's arrangement and went to the countryside to become an educated youth.
This experience taught him two things - smoking hookah and driving a tractor. There is no way out from such a life.
Ma Mingzhe, who received a high school education, was thinking in his mind that he should find another way out for himself.
In 1983, that determined young man embarked on a journey away from his hometown.
He came to Shenzhen and worked in a private enterprise.
First, he has no money, and second, he has no social background. Every step of working hard in a big city is very bumpy.
Ma Mingzhe first worked as a driver for the company leaders. After a few months of contact, the leaders felt that this young man was down-to-earth and hard-working, and he would also tell him about things in the company.
Ma Mingzhe follows the big boss to various high-end places every day, and his horizons are gradually broadened. The boss teaches him many skills in dealing with people.
Ma Mingzhe has a quick mind and can sometimes make suggestions for his leaders and come up with many innovative strategies. His boss also pays more and more attention to him.
Opportunities always come to those who are prepared, and the gift of fate soon fell on Ma Mingzhe.
One day, he drove his boss to a meeting as usual. The manager of the social security company was supposed to attend the meeting, but he happened to be unable to attend the current emergency meeting for some reason.
The big customer opposite would not wait for a small department manager. The boss thought about it and asked Ma Mingzhe to take the place of the department manager in the meeting, saying that he would not be held responsible if something went wrong.
The boss is always a "Bo Le" who can recognize a "thousand-mile horse". At this meeting, Ma Mingzhe's speech fully demonstrated his talent.
