▲▲Disabled but strong in spirit
Because of his physical disability, Wang Guosheng was unable to enter university, but he did not become depressed because his dream was shattered.
He is 1.55 meters tall and weighs less than 40 kilograms. He has a large bulge on his chest and a tall "hump" on his back. This person is Wang Guosheng, who was born in a peasant family in Weiyuan Village, Menggang Township, Changyuan County, Xinxiang. As a disabled person, he suffered more hardships than able-bodied people of the same age.
In 1982, Wang Guosheng received an admission notice from a university in Henan. When he reported to the school happily, he was rejected for one reason: the national higher education institutions had not yet opened admissions to disabled people. special case. At that moment, Wang Guosheng was heartbroken. He thought, he was just 17 years old, could his life be over like this? No, he is not willing to do so.
His father is a veterinarian at the township veterinary station. Wang Guosheng thought that it would be better for his son to inherit his father's business and learn a trade to support his family. So, in 1983, he opened a veterinary clinic in his hometown. After a few years, the clinic's business was bleak and could not be sustained.
Later, he learned how to treat hemorrhoids and went around the streets to treat people. In 1987, he heard that there was a hemiplegia treatment device on the market, so he borrowed 1,600 yuan from his father to buy one. Unexpectedly, it was not very effective in treating people.
Seeing that his son could not do anything for a long time, the sad father bought six piglets for Wang Guosheng in a fit of anger, hoping that he could live peacefully at home and earn money to support himself.
But Wang Guosheng is a restless person. Soon, he left his hometown with his brother, and like many fellow villagers, he began to sell labor protection products. Many customers were impressed by his diligence and honesty, and they all remembered this honest, thin "hunchback" and established long-term cooperative relationships with him.
Wang Guosheng has sold mops, brooms, brushes and other sanitary products. Later, he expanded his business scope to medical equipment and supplies for hospitals and epidemic prevention stations. He has traveled to markets including Chongqing, Foshan, Zhuhai, Haikou, etc. land. The long and difficult sales road gave him an understanding of the domestic medical device market and saw the broad development prospects of this industry.
▲▲Borrowing money to set up a factory
Optimistic about the development prospects of the domestic medical device market, Wang Guosheng borrowed money from relatives and friends to set up a factory. After many hardships, he produced best-selling independently developed products.
In the autumn of 1992, the Doumen County People's Hospital of Guangdong Province asked Wang Guosheng to purchase some endotracheal tubes. At that time, this product was in short supply and mainly relied on foreign imports. There were not many domestic manufacturers. He came to the old manufacturer of this product, a medical instrument factory in Shanghai, but the factory no longer produces such products. A senior master in the factory quietly said to him, you should go to the suburbs and find another small factory, there might be one there.
So Wang Guosheng walked to the factory. While waiting for the product to come off the production line, he kept going to the workshop and asked the engineers about every production link and process flow, and came up with the idea of ??producing his own products. product ideas.
In order to find technology, he traveled from Shanghai to Hebei, riding a motorcycle to Luoyang and Zhengzhou many times to seek advice from experts. Once, for a key technology, he got on his motorcycle and rushed from his hometown to Luoyang overnight.
When the expert heard that he came on a motorcycle, he was very moved and taught him all the relevant techniques he had mastered without reservation. Half a year later, Wang Guosheng finally developed the first endotracheal tube produced by local methods.
In 1993, Wang Guosheng went door-to-door to borrow 20,000 yuan from villagers to set up Changyuan County Huaxin Medical Equipment Factory.
It is not easy to set up a factory. In the past two years, he borrowed a total of 145,000 yuan from relatives and friends, but the money was quickly spent. Once, a creditor called for a loan of 20,000 yuan. In his impatience, he blurted out the phrase "a prodigal son who has not accomplished enough". At this time, the factory could no longer pay wages, and money for materials had not been paid.
In desperation, Wang Guosheng and his wife ran to the Northeast to find a fellow who was "doing big business", hoping that the other party would lend a helping hand. But the fellow countryman still politely rejected him in the end. That night, Wang Guosheng returned to the hotel and cried with his wife. "There is no perfect way for man". A few days later, a payment of more than 1,300 yuan suddenly arrived in his account. Wang Wangosheng quickly purchased 5 bags of raw materials. The machines in the factory that had been dormant for a long time began to operate again, and he slowly overcame the difficulty.
In 1995, the endotracheal tube invented by Wang Guosheng won the provincial scientific research achievement award. The sales of independently developed and produced anesthesia kits, analgesic pumps and other products ranked among the best in the same industry nationwide. At the end of 1996, Wang Guosheng paid off all foreign debts.
▲▲Registering the "Camel Man" trademark
When registering the trademark, Wang Guosheng insisted on using the word "Camel Man". His reason is that disabled people can do great things.
The success of the endotracheal tube allowed Wang Guosheng to accumulate experience in the production of sanitary materials. After that, he targeted anesthesia supplies. In 1996, the tracheal tubes he produced completely replaced imported products. The anesthesia bags and analgesic pumps independently developed and produced by the company began to be far ahead in the domestic industry, but unfortunately, most of them were OEM products.
How to create your own brand? That is to register your own trademark. In 1997, Wang Guosheng wrote the word "camel man" on the registered trademark application. Someone asked him: "Why don't you avoid hiding your physical defects and insist on using 'camel man' as your trademark?"
Wang Guosheng replied: "In this trademark, the character for 'camel' is small and the character for 'human' is large. , which means that in our society, people with disabilities can still do great things, and people with hunchbacks can still stand tall!"
In 1998, he invested one million yuan to build a new factory and changed its name to "Xinxiang Tuoren Medical Equipment Co., Ltd." has completed its first leap from entrepreneurship to business expansion.
In 1999, "Tuoren"'s first production base with an investment of one million yuan was settled in Mancun Industrial Park, Changyuan County. In 2002, the second production base covering an area of ??130 acres was built in Weiyuan Village, Menggang Township, Changyuan County. The production scale of anesthesia consumables ranked first in the domestic industry. In 2005, Wang Guosheng established Tuoren Group, a modern enterprise group that integrates industry, academia and research. In 2006, the group headquarters moved to Beijing, attracting dozens of first-class anesthesia consumables experts to join the company in an effort to achieve greater development.
In the following more than 10 years, Wang Guosheng's business continued to grow and develop. Today, Tuoren Group has total assets of more than 700 million yuan. It has 6 subsidiaries, a scientific research center, and two production bases. It can produce more than 100 types of medical device products. Sales of anesthesia kits, double-lumen tubes, and analgesic pumps have been stable. Ranking first in the country and exported to more than 20 countries and regions.
▲▲Don’t forget your homeland
“It is my greatest wish to start a business to enrich the people, help the disabled, make more villagers rich, and allow more disabled people to find jobs and become self-reliant.” Wang Guosheng explain.
At the end of 2001, when he saw his childhood friend in his hometown still wearing shoes with bare feet in the winter and living in poverty, Wang Guosheng felt pity and wanted to do something for his hometown. In 2002, he invested more than 10 million yuan to build a factory covering an area of ??20 acres in his hometown. In 2004, it was expanded to 100 acres, employing nearly a thousand laborers in the village and neighboring villages, with an average monthly income per capita of more than 800 yuan. In order to improve the backwardness of his hometown, he also spent 4 million yuan to fund the construction of roads, bridges and schools.
Wang Guosheng has been successively named “National Self-improvement Model” and “China’s Top Ten Stars of Self-improvement and Entrepreneurship for People with Disabilities”... This spring, he was elected as the vice president of the Henan Province Disabled Persons Welfare Foundation.
As a disabled person, Wang Guosheng pays special attention to disabled people like himself. He arranged for more than 300 disabled people to work in his company and built convenient and comfortable disabled apartments for them.
"To be the number one brand of anesthesia consumables in China, occupying half of the national market, steadily entering the EU market, and accepting 600 disabled people for employment." Wang Guosheng is leading the employees of 'Tuoren' to move towards new goals .
