In the usual study, work or life, the article is the most familiar to everyone. The following are wage earners who earn 300,000 yuan at 1 10,000. For reference only. Welcome to reading.
At the end of 2002, wage earner Kai finally got the first intellectual property income of 300,000 yuan. This is undoubtedly a great wealth for him who has always been poor. But strangely, he didn't spend the money. He donated 300,000 yuan and became poor again.
In early April, catkins floated in Beijing. Xu Jin Kai rushed to Beihang University from Meishan, Sichuan, and made a special trip to pay the tuition fee owed by a poor college student who had never met in the past year.
I don't understand why Kim Xu Kai did it. The houses in his hometown are in ruins, and he will use the money to repair them. The mother who raised him and his brother suffered for most of her life. He should use the money to be filial to her. His wife, who just got married last year, waited for him for ten years and accompanied him for ten years. He should use this money to make his beloved woman live a good life.
With these questions, I asked him to meet near Xueyuan Road in the west of the city.
Kim Xu Kai said quietly, "I want to help those poor children to realize their dreams."
Because he is poor and can't afford to buy toys, my brother often looks at the toys in other children's hands, and that longing eyes deeply hurt me. At the age of six, my father, who went to work in Xinjiang with his bedding on his back, left home step by step and never came back.
At that time, my mother was only 25 years old, with my great-grandmother, grandmother, my brother and me. The burden of life for four generations and five people is all on her shoulders. In order to support the family, mothers work harder than men like cows. After she finished her work in the field, she went to the city to help people pull honeycomb briquettes. Whether it is hot in the sun or in the cold winter, she always bends down and pulls a rack car full of honeycomb coal and runs all over the street.
My family is poor and can't afford toys. My brother often looks at other children's toys, and that kind of eager eyes deeply hurt me. So, I found things like wood and rubber bands, made windmills and birdcages, made airplanes and trains in my imagination, and made "cuff arrows" and "crossbows" that appeared in martial arts books. Those toys make my brother very happy, and other children are envious. I tasted the joy of creation for the first time.
Every day at dawn, my mother would work in the fields, and I would be woken up to look after the porridge pot. Six or seven years old is the right age to sleep. I often fall asleep by the stove, and the porridge overflowing from the pot douses the fire in the stove. When my mother came home, she was always scolded, distressed by the waste of every grain of rice. If only something could automatically open the lid when the porridge was about to overflow. After many experiments, I made a simple anti-overflow device with a rubber band between the two handles of the pot and the three points of the handle of the pot cover. From then on, I don't need to look after porridge, and my mother looks at me with new eyes.
From then on, I was fascinated by inventions and often caught a cold.
I put a short pencil point at one end of the bamboo tube and an eraser at the other end, which is very convenient to use. Later, I found that several chickens raised at home were running around the village, and the eggs they laid were often not found. So I found some waste wood and made a "non-electric automatic egg collection, feeding and efficient three-dimensional chicken house". That year, I 13 years old.
There are many such small inventions, almost all of which are inspired by poor life.
1992, my mother was seriously ill and still struggled to get up and work. I sat by her bed and took a deep breath: "I want to go out to work and earn money." Mother's eyes immediately turned red and her voice trembled and said, "Your father went out to work and never came back. How can I live when you are on a business trip? " I didn't refute it. The next day, I left a letter to my mother and left home quietly with only 100 yuan. I said in the letter, "I must let you live a good life. Wherever I go, I won't embarrass you. " I'm not afraid of hardship, but do I go out to work just to have a mouth to eat?
1992 in late autumn, I finally arrived in Hainan after many days. Standing in the crowd, I am nervous and at a loss.
Running around looking for a job during the day and sleeping on the roadside at night. As I lost my ID card on the way, I ran into a wall everywhere and couldn't find a job. Only dare to eat two steamed buns a day, and drink tap water when you are thirsty. Until 15, there was only fifty cents left in my pocket. In panic and despair, I came to the seaside and walked involuntarily to the waves. The splashing waves are as bitter and salty as tears. Suddenly I remembered my mother thousands of miles away and shrank back slowly.
I endured hunger and climbed ashore to continue looking for a job. The first job was to dig silt for a sewage outlet leading to the seaside, and the boss only ate and lived without paying. He threw a brick at the shed floor and said, "Just sleep there." Standing in the dirty sewage outlet, digging mud, and then dragging it car by car to the nursery. It's hard, but I finally have something to eat. After more than twenty days, the work was finished and I lost my job again.
The second job is working as a security guard in a hotel. I can't sleep with my eyes open when others are asleep. Is it just to have a mouth to eat?
One day, a friend complained to me that I had something urgent to take a taxi and stopped by the side of the road for a long time, but it was all cars. At that time, the taxi did not show whether it was carrying passengers. I was shocked when I heard this. The long-lost creative inspiration lit up the road under my feet like a flame. If we can design a taxi passenger display, it will be a big market!
I'm so excited, I want to start designing right away. However, that moment of inspiration is like opening a door, and the world inside is unfathomable. I don't know anything about electronic circuits, remote control and so on. I can't walk into that world at all. I must learn from scratch. I went to the electrical repair shop to work for the master. See more, do more, ask more. A few months later, I was completely exposed to electronic circuits.
The design finally came out. In order to devote myself to the trial production [FS:PAGE], I rented a small tin house at the seaside with only 100 yuan. I locked myself in and tried production again and again. I have no money and no time to cook. Cook a pot of porridge without salt or vegetables every day, then soak the rice pot in seawater and drink a little when you are hungry.
One day, a friend inquired about my whereabouts and found the seaside. He asked the local fishermen if they had seen me. The fishermen pointed to the small tin house and asked, "Are you looking for a weirdo who lives in it?" My friend opened the door left unlocked with a grain of salt. Seeing me unkempt, unshaven and slim, he rushed to hug me tightly and burst into tears.
After more than a month, I walked out of the tin hut with the first taxi passenger display I successfully developed. 1994165438+1October, the taxi passenger display I invented won the national patent.
In six years, I lost my job 17 times, and I was often so poor that I couldn't find another coin in my pocket. I don't live to eat anything anymore. Creative inspiration keeps flashing in my mind. I am excited by those inspirations and tortured by them.
In order to facilitate my invention, I gave up better job opportunities again and again and chose some jobs with relatively flexible working hours but less income. What I do most is to be a security guard at night and work at night. During the day, either do market research, or go to the library to look up information, or stay in the cabin to make inventions. If you have no money to buy books and materials, you will go to the bookstore to read books and copy materials. I was kicked out of the house by people in the bookstore more than once.
One night, I worked as a security guard in the lobby of a hotel. Several Hong Kong guests stood not far from me talking about syphilis and AIDS, saying that they were afraid to take the toilet easily when staying in hotels, and the toilet was an important way to spread these diseases. I immediately realized sensitively that this would be a research topic with a broad market.
After work, first go to the hotel room bathroom to observe the toilet, and then go to the hotel warehouse to find the old toilet, repeatedly observe, disassemble and study. At that time, all I could think about was this matter. After having a preliminary idea, I bought back the materials and began to do experiments. After three months of continuous exploration and analysis, I designed an electric device, which can automatically wrap a paper gasket on the toilet seat by pressing the button and can be automatically recycled after use.
But when I did market research with my own design results, I found that this design has serious disadvantages: first, the cost is high, and second, the electric device is not suitable for wet toilets. I will completely overturn my design and start all over again. I want to find a design scheme with highly centralized functions, highly sophisticated technology and the lowest cost.
One year, two years and three years, in order to "simplify to the point where it can no longer be simplified", I overthrew my own design again and again and started from scratch again and again. However, every failure is a push to the ultimate goal.
In order to improve my invention, in recent years, I visited more than 50 cities in China for market research. Almost all the money I earn from my part-time job is spent on this except for eating. Eat a bag of instant noodles when you are hungry and tap water when you are thirsty. In order to earn travel expenses, I have to work while doing research. I carried cement bags at Huangpu River pier and worked as a coolie at a construction site in Wuhan. At the end of that year, it was already New Year's Eve when I worked all the way back to Haikou. I'm unemployed, and I don't even have a place to live. I wandered the streets with the last 3 yuan money.
I have been away from home for six years. How I miss my mother! But I have been holding back this yearning. Once I went to Chengdu to do market research, and it was only an hour's journey home from there. I bought a ticket home as soon as I got off the train, but with that ticket, I didn't have the courage to board the bus home. I still have nothing, and I still can't keep my promise. How should I face my mother? I saw the car drive away in the middle of my eyes, drove to my hometown, turned around and tore up the ticket.
On New Year's Eve that year, I spent it on a cement stool in a park pavilion. I thought for a long time and thought a lot. I can't disappoint my mother and my girlfriend who is waiting for me.
I met my girlfriend when I was a security guard in a hotel. She is a city girl and has a stable job. Her family and friends are against our falling in love-who can believe the happiness promised by a wage earner who has no fixed place? But she believed me. She said in the letter, "No one is optimistic about our future, so what does it matter?" What matters is the attitude and confidence of two people ... concentrate on your work, and I will always wait for you. "Finally, I successfully developed a disposable toilet sanitary membrane pad, which is easy to operate and can be automatically recycled. My inspiration has turned into a refreshing result under my efforts: a sheltered electric toothbrush; Folding portable bathtub; Totally enclosed cistern ... In eight years, I have made 58 inventions, of which 23 inventions have won national patents, and "toilet sanitary membrane pad" and "shielded electric toothbrush" have also won international patents.
From 65438 to 0998, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Justice awarded me the honorary title of "Top Ten Outstanding Migrant Workers in China". When the news reached Haikou, I was experiencing 17 unemployment and looking for a job all over the street.
With 58 gold mines on my back, I fell to the lowest point again. Some people say that my 58 inventions are 58 gold mines, and I can change from a poor man to a rich man by selling any invention.
When I attended the commendation meeting of "Top Ten Outstanding Migrant Workers in China" in Beijing, a leader in Tianjin invited me to Tianjin and promised to settle my household registration with my family and arrange a house with three bedrooms and one living room. An American group company offered to help me and my family immigrate to the United States and promised to create the best conditions for my invention to go global. Some manufacturers in Shenzhen and Zhuhai also came to me to discuss and were willing to buy out my patents.
I have been tempted, but people can't live just for money. I have always had a dream in my heart. I want to personally turn my invention into a product, run my own business and let my products enter the market. It is often said that my heart is as big as a stage. But I know very well that the big stage is for capable people. I need to learn too much before I can turn my invention into a product and put it on the market. I decided to spend two to three years learning knowledge, exercising my ability and accumulating experience.
1In March, 1999, I left Hainan for Shenzhen and became an ordinary wage earner, starting from the bottom. I specifically choose those enterprises that need to innovate and improve their products to work. There, I learned about other people's production equipment, process flow, enterprise management and capital operation. A company boss joked with me, "It seems that you want to steal all the technology from our company." In this way, I have worked in more than a dozen enterprises. Shenzhen's fast pace and high competition, especially its ability to accept new things and its open and active creative atmosphere, have benefited me a lot.
June 5438+October 2002 10, I declined all the invitations and returned to my hometown of Meishan City, Sichuan Province with 58 gold mines. Here, I founded Shure Clean Enterprise (Sichuan) Co., Ltd. with investors, and I served as the general manager of the company. Our slogan is: as long as you can think of it, we can do it.
Over the years, my road has been bumpy and difficult. Without the help of good people, I would never be where I am today. I can't forget a wage earner named Gu, who lost his job and had no food and clothing, but gave me the only money left in 50 yuan. I can't forget that I had no money to eat when I was doing market research in Shanghai. A Jiangxi man on a business trip in Shanghai took me to a restaurant for a full meal and gave me 100 yuan, encouraging me to say, "Young man, you must stick to it and be very happy." At the end of last year, I got the first intellectual property income of 300,000 yuan. I decided to use this money as a start-up fund to set up a foundation to support and train poor children who are interested in invention and creation.
I hope those "bitter children" will have less bumps on the road of life. I hope that when they are in the most difficult time, someone will say to them: Be sure to hold on! Walking through thorns and mud, you can see the blue sky and the spring of life. ;
Wish Fund is a fund for those who pursue their dreams but have no money. Its establishment has helped many dream catchers realize their dreams. Fund, in English, re
