With his ordinary white T-shirt, calm and gentle smile, and introverted and humble character, Chen Tieming doesn’t feel ostentatious at all. However, after listening to his entrepreneurial story, I feel that he dares to be a pioneer in his bones. courage and strength. Approaching Chen Tieming, what unfolds in front of us is the wonderful life of an entrepreneur who pioneered the business world and dared to think and fight.
Since Chen Tieming built Shanghai's low-profit housing "Taihe New City" in 1992 and won the "Shanghai's only gold medal for the most popular low-profit commercial housing", he has worked hard to start a business and be responsible for his own profits and losses. In the ten years since 1997, Continental Group, which he founded, has made great progress under the guidance of his correct corporate philosophy and management ideas. It has developed from a small business with more than a dozen people to Xiamen Continental Real Estate Group Co., Ltd., Xiamen Fujing It has nine subsidiaries including Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., Xiamen New Continent Commercial Development Co., Ltd., and Hong Kong Continent International Investment Co., Ltd., and a group company with more than 200 people, on which he has devoted countless efforts. Enterprises have become Xiamen's largest taxpayers every year, even the largest taxpayers, and have contributed a certain amount to the material civilization on the west coast of the Taiwan Strait. More importantly, the Continental Group led by Mr. Chen Tieming has built many residential buildings in the past ten years, which has accelerated the construction of social and material life in Xiamen and surrounding cities to a certain extent. The Continental brand has also become a socially recognized corporate brand. In just ten years, Continental Group has won the titles of National Real Estate Brand Enterprise, Top 200 Real Estate Enterprises in China, Top 100 Private Enterprises in Fujian, Xiamen City’s Largest Taxpayer in 1998, 1999, and 2000, Xiamen City’s Largest Taxpayer from 2001 to 2005, and Xiamen City’s Largest Taxpayer in 2001-2005. An advanced unit for paying taxes with integrity, a national-level "contract-abiding and credit-worthy" unit, and the continent logo became one of the top ten creative brands (trademarks) loved by Xiamen people in 2006. All these have laid a solid foundation for creating a century-old corporate brand and revitalizing the national economy. Base.
Innovation is an important principle for Chen Tieming to run his business. Since the founding of Continental Group, he has implemented innovative business principles at all times. This is consistent with the general direction of building an innovative country advocated by the State Council. From this point of view, Chen Tieming already has a mature national entrepreneurial consciousness. Any industry needs innovation to develop. Continental Group, led by Chen Tieming, has always insisted on doing this, taking the promotion of urban construction as its mission, taking the lead in introducing advanced residential concepts into urban construction, and updating the city's living and lifestyle time and time again. In 1997, when Xiamen, an important city on the west coast of the Taiwan Strait, was still in an era when ordinary housing was popular, Continental Group pioneered the overlapping villa Longmen Shijia. The concept resounded throughout Xiamen. This change allowed Xiamen people to first appreciate the new way of living, and also promoted the subsequent update of the city's living concept. In 1999, he presided over the "original 5,000-square-meter overlapping ecological landscape" - Dazhou New Century Plaza with a construction area of ??more than 63,000 square meters. Moreover, he once again shocked Xiamen by creating a people-oriented home environment and unique forward-looking community planning. Let Continental Group become the leader in promoting the upgrading of residential construction in Xiamen. At the same time, the community was awarded the first batch of designated supervision units in Xiamen City's "China Quality Journey" and was awarded the title of "Boutique Real Estate" by the Real Estate Association. In 2000, Dazhou City Garden, a "sunny location with fresh oxygen residences", once again made a sensation with its impeccable and exquisite apartment layout and split-level design, and once again won the honor of "Boutique Real Estate". In 2001, Longmen Tianxia, ??across the street from Xiamen SM City Plaza, once again became the focus of attention. It consists of three enclosed noble buildings with a total construction area of ??nearly 70,000 square meters. It uses a viewing elevator to directly reach the entrance hall of the villa. Forward-looking innovative concepts such as double split-level structure, 24-hour hot water supply, and constant-temperature swimming pool write a new chapter in Xiamen's residential concept. In 2005, Continental Group continued to build the Grade-A office building "Xiamen First Plaza", standing on Lujiang Road opposite Gulangyu Island, thus adding another landmark building to Xiamen City. Every beautification and construction update of Xiamen city adds chips to improve the charm and attractiveness of the city. This includes the efforts of the vast number of entrepreneurs who operate with integrity and advance and retreat with the national and social standards.
When Chen Tieming was a child, he realized how difficult life was. He often went to the river to catch fish, go to the farmland to pick rice ears, dig sweet potatoes, and sell them to make money to supplement the family income.
In 1985, I started a work-study program when I was a university student in Beijing. Several classmates and I made wontons and sold them in the corridor of the school. We made twenty or thirty yuan on the first day, and we used the money to buy more on the second day. Some pots and pans. At that time, work-study programs were still a new thing in schools in Beijing. The teachers thought that we were not doing our job properly and were worried that the wontons we made were not hygienic, so the "wonton shop" closed down on the third day after it opened. Those "pots and pans" became the "first pot of gold" we earned.
The "Wonton Shop" was closed, but I didn't give up and started thinking again. At that time, students had to go a long way to match the keys, which was very inconvenient, so I bought tools and started the job of matching the keys. Many classmates saw that matching keys was easy and profitable, so they started to "follow the trend", so I quit. Later, I discovered that many classmates liked taking pictures in front of the school auditorium, so I bought a camera and became a photographer in my spare time. I could shoot two or three rolls of film a day and earn an income of fifty or sixty yuan, which not only covered my living expenses. , and it can also improve the lives of classmates in the same dormitory. At that time, I became the "leader" of student entrepreneurship in school.
When he founded Xiamen Dazhou Real Estate Group Co., Ltd. in 1997, Chen Tieming had only been involved in the real estate market for four years. Now Dazhou has developed into a huge group, successfully developed a number of high-quality real estate projects, and achieved huge results. success.
Chen Tieming looks relatively calm on the surface, but in fact he is very active in his heart. He always wants to do things that others have not done and think about problems that others have not thought about. I started the real estate business in 1993. At that time, I had no idea what "floor area ratio" was or what "density" was. At that time, China's real estate market was just in its infancy, and society had little experience to learn from it. I carefully studied the characteristics of other real estate projects, looked for patterns, and learned from each other's strengths. Later, the "Taihe New City" project I developed in Shanghai won the gold medal for "Shanghai's most popular low-profit commercial housing". He was one of the first National People's Congress representatives to advocate holding an international marathon in Xiamen. Since 2003, he has funded and hosted the Xiamen Kite Invitational Race for two consecutive years.
When he was in college, he earned his "first pot of gold" by "not doing his job properly." He entered the real estate market as a fledgling, and braved the difficulties to renovate unfinished buildings. Underneath Chen Tieming's restrained and peaceful appearance, he had a heart that refused to be mediocre and had the courage to do so. The heart of discovery.
The publicity and noise are just a layer of foam on the surface of the water. The real turmoil and power are still under the water. Don't talk big words, don't compete with others, let your actual results speak for yourself, Chen Tieming survives in the choppy market sea.
