With the only labor force in the family gone, Chen Xiaoying had to drop out of school to work in Hangzhou. Because she has no education and no technical work, she has to choose to work in a factory.
Although the salary was not very high during that time in the factory, she learned a lot here and found her other half Nie Tengfei in the factory. After getting along slowly, I found that their experiences were very similar. Both of them died because their families had no money to pay for medical expenses. Later, both of them went out to work to reduce the burden on their families. They get along very well.
Because Chen Xiaoying was young at that time, Nie Tengfei took care of her. As time went on, the relationship between them changed. Soon, they established a love relationship and worked hard in the factory.
Suddenly, one day, the factory received a foreign order. According to the requirements, the export declaration form should be sent to the dock the next day. At that time, the domestic express delivery industry did not stand up at all, only postal express delivery. But according to the speed of postal service, it is impossible to deliver it to the dock the next day unless someone delivers it specially, which will save a lot of time.
Nie Tengfei thought for a while in his mind, then found the person in charge and told the other party that he could complete the task, but only if he paid 100 yuan. The person in charge was in a hurry, and he agreed directly when he heard Nie Tengfei say so. Finally, Nie Tengfei also successfully completed the task, and this trip only cost 30 yuan, so the remaining 70 yuan is also considered profitable.
In this way, Nie Tengfei took charge of such a task. After a while, Nie Tengfei suddenly realized that he certainly didn't know that this factory had such a demand, and other companies would certainly have such a situation. In that case, why not help them deliver it together?
In this way, Nie Tengfei decided to start a business, and told Chen Xiaoying his ideas, and she agreed. 1993, they quit their jobs, and with all their savings, they founded the first private express in China, named Shengtong Express. At first, it was difficult for them. They get up before dawn every day to go to work. At that time, the express delivery industry was forbidden to operate, and the relevant postal departments were not allowed to operate privately, so their practice was very dangerous.
Nie Tengfei almost lived on the train to deliver the bill. The flight attendants often saw him and soon became suspicious. Nie Tengfei hid as soon as he got on the bus to avoid the investigation of the flight attendants. Chen Xiaoying sometimes needs to take orders. Every time he takes an order, he can only touch it quietly and hide in the corner. After she observed it for a while, he boldly came out.
On one occasion, she had just received a single order and came to a remote alley. She saw several men urinating in the corner, which frightened Chen Xiaoying and quickly started running. When she ran far away, she turned her head and found those men urinating on her. The arrogant smile on her face can't stop, and the urine splashes a beautiful arc in the air.
Chen Xiaoying prefers to stay at home and sell his business to more customers than go out to take orders. Although many people don't believe her and often say that she is a liar, she never gives up. She calls thousands of times a day, so her working hours have exceeded 17 hours. She follows her husband from morning till night and never dares to have any entertainment or relaxation.
Fortunately, their efforts were not in vain, and their efforts were rewarded. Nie Tengfei and Chen Xiaoying calculated the money they earned at the end of the year. They found that they already had 20,000 yuan, which made them very happy.
However, Nie Tengfei and Chen Xiaoying are not satisfied with such income. In order to expand his company, Chen Xiaoying called his brother, and Nie Tengfei invited his brother to join them. In this way, they help each other and work hard for a better life.
With the passage of time, their business became more and more, and the company's reputation spread. Soon the whole of Zhejiang knew about their company. Later, in order to make people remember their company better, it was renamed as Shentong Express directly. However, just when Chen Xiaoying and his wife thought they would live a happy life, an accident tore the family apart.
1998, her husband Nie Tengfei was involved in a car accident while delivering goods outside, and died after being rescued. Chen Xiaoying is the only person left in the company. At this painful moment, the company is in trouble again. Those shareholders began to envy Chen Xiaoying's property, offered to leave one after another, and then started a new business.
After the company manager resigned, he founded ZTO Express, and Finance became the boss of Tong Yuan Express. Even Nie Tengfei's younger brother founded Dayun Express a year ago. These blows made Chen Xiaoying almost unbearable, but she didn't grow up in a greenhouse, but she experienced the wind and rain outside since she was a child. In order to maintain the status of Shentong Express, she convened many private express companies to cooperate. Soon, the scale of Shentong Express became larger and larger, and its position in China also stabilized.
In addition, at that time, Taobao e-commerce was on the rise, with a large number of orders every day, and the biggest headache for their e-commerce was the courier fee, so Sister Cheng Xiaoying seized this opportunity and proposed to directly reduce the courier fee to a little more than two yuan (the courier fee at that time was basically around four yuan). As soon as the news came out, Shentong Express quickly occupied the Taobao market. With more and more orders, the cost of courier fees gradually decreased.
In 2008, the net profit of Shentong Express reached10.50 billion, which became the first choice of many customers. In 2065,438+00, Tian Tian Express founded by Zhan Jisheng and his good friends was finally acquired by HNA Group because of its poor development. However, due to the different business concepts of the two companies, the two companies failed to cooperate successfully two years later. At this time, shentong.
In 20 15, the number of employees of Shentong Express has reached more than 300,000. In 20 16, shentong express was successfully listed, and her value has soared to10 billion yuan. However, with more and more express delivery companies, their competitiveness is growing. Chen Xiaoying made an incredible decision at this time.
That is to say, she directly sold all the shares of Shentong Express to Alibaba, and the total amount of cash for two times was as high as 65.438+0.46 billion yuan. Chen Xiaoying shocked the whole express delivery industry. I don't know why she did it, just quit at the peak. In this case, all her previous efforts were in vain.
Chen Xiaoying didn't say much. After resigning from the express delivery industry, she started a new project. She began to make an umbrella. This kind of umbrella is multifunctional, which can not only resist wind and rain, but also illuminate at night. The price is also relatively close to the people. This kind of umbrella is very popular with consumers after it goes on the market. Soon, she made tens of billions in this industry.
In 20 19, Chen Xiaoying ranked 194 1 in Forbes list of global billionaires. In June of the same year, the Hurun Rich List was released on 10, and Chen Xiaoying ranked 370th. Six days later, Hurun Research Institute released the Hurun Women Entrepreneurs List on 20 19, and Chen Xiaoying ranked 43rd.
Now Chen Xiaoying can be said to be successful. When she recalled her courage to run away from home, founded Shentong Express, and all kinds of things, she was very emotional. After all, Chen Xiaoying has experienced setbacks in the middle, not only those mentioned in the article, but also other difficulties that she needs to overcome. And she also proved to the world that giving always pays off.
After his success, Chen Xiaoying has been doing charity, and even donated tens of millions of education funds to Zhejiang University to repay the society with practical actions.
