Starting from scratch, struggling to start a business, and achieving a "starlight" avenue

Mr. Lin Guangru moved to Hong Kong in 1963. In order to make a living, he first worked as an apprentice in a printing factory, went to work during the day and studied in an English middle school at night. Often after school at 11 o'clock, he had to clean the printing press and then review his lessons. So hard, he just thought it was a kind of training. In 197, with the savings of HK$ 5,, he bought a second-hand printing machine, started a starlight printing factory, and started his own business by printing envelopes and stationery. At that time, he hired an employee. One day, he went out for business during the day and came back in the afternoon to find that the employee had left without saying goodbye. Since then, Lin Guangru has never seen him again. At that time, the employee would never have imagined that Starlight in 214 had become a multinational group with more than 8, employees. As a souvenir, the second-hand printing machine that witnessed Lin Guangru's difficult start is still placed in the lobby of the office building of Shenzhen Xingguang South China Development Center.

Starlight Printing (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., located in Xixiang Town, Bao 'an District, Shenzhen, has a factory area of 8, square feet. It was established by Mr. Lin Guangru in 1992 with an investment of more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars. It is one of the subsidiaries of Hong Kong Starlight Group (Stock Exchange of Hong Kong 43) and has more than 3, employees.

The core business of Starlight Printing (Shenzhen) is paper packaging and printing, which packages information technology, electrical appliances, electronics, toys, cosmetics, medicines, gifts and bathroom supplies. Its customers are all over the world, mainly American greeting cards, Disney, FedEx, He Man, Hasbro, Hewlett-Packard, Kodak, L 'Oreal, Mattel, Microsoft, Reader's Collection and Unilever, etc. Many Fortune 5 companies have become long-term customers of Starlight.

In p>1993, Starlight was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which successfully realized the socialization from family management to asset listing, and won more room for development.

In p>1993, Lin Guangru invested 1 million yuan in Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone to build Xingguang Environmental Protection Industrial Center, introduced the world's most advanced automatic production system for pulp molding from Britain, the United States and other countries, and used waste paper as raw material to produce inner packaging and children's educational toys to replace styrofoam products that seriously polluted the environment. He once pointed to those trees and said that they were all planted when the factory was built, and now they have grown up. But in the past ten years (1983-1993), I have been on the road alone and it is very difficult to do environmental protection industry.

However, his career is not alone, and many people are willing to follow him to do something. Li Rongming, general manager of Guangzhou Starlight, is one of them. He is a Hong Kong native, who has been engaged in products business in Australia for 19 years. After returning to Hong Kong for development, he got to know Lin Guangru, and very much agreed with Starlight's corporate culture of "sincerity, love and diligence", which is an important content of enterprise development. Lin Guangru said that "sincerity" is the virtue of the Chinese nation. Colleagues should be frank and sincere to customers. As an entrepreneur, we should stress honesty and social morality. As early as the 198s, he formulated a code for the company, which stipulated that "eight don't print", including obscene publications, packaging of pirated products, counterfeit trademarks and so on.

Starlight Printing (Shenzhen) was awarded as a first-class enterprise by China Customs in 1997, an advanced enterprise in labor management by Xixiang Town People's Government in 2, an honorary certificate of garden-style and garden-style standards by Shenzhen Housing Bureau in 21, a "National Top 1 Overseas Chinese-funded Star Enterprise in 2-22" by Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council in 23, and a "Guangdong Printing Association".
