The same is true of Zhu Huaiyang, a rich second generation in Wenzhou.
Prior to this, he was speculating in coins in Beijing, starting from scratch and worth hundreds of millions.
With this money, he can live a life of food and clothing in Beijing all his life.
But unwilling to be mediocre, he resolutely stepped into the mask industry and began to "roll" with his peers.
In his words, yes.
"Some things have to be done and some money has to be earned. Why can't this person be me? "
As a result, 500W of funds went in, and I lost everything. I didn't make any money in the end.
He has tasted the ups and downs of life in just six years.
But even so, he still didn't give up and explore the world.
How did he start from scratch and earn hundreds of millions in two years?
The mask industry broke out in 2020. Why did you lose everything?
Zhu Huaiyang, a post-90s Wenzhou guy.
When his parents were doing business locally, he accumulated enough wealth at an early age. Zhu Huaiyang was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Before Zhu Huaiyang grew up, his parents owed a lot of money because of business failure.
For more than ten years, the wages earned by parents all their lives have been used to pay off debts.
But looking back, I have to pay back the interest for more than ten years, and I have never paid back the principal.
At that moment, Zhu Huaiyang's heart collapsed a little.
"I can't go on like this. Otherwise, I will never pay off my debts and live a hard life. "
So regardless of the boss's retention, he resigned from the newspaper job with an annual salary of 200,000 and came to Shanghai to work hard.
Under the influence of his parents, Zhu Huaiyang knew that if he wanted to make big money in a short time, he had to dare to gamble and go astray.
So he began to do foreign exchange trading in Shanghai. This time, he lost the bet. Instead of helping his family pay off debts, he owed millions.
Together, the total debt at home has reached 9 million.
Late at night, Zhu Huaiyang stood in the rental house, looking at the bustling world outside the window, and fell into deep fear.
He has experienced poverty and knows what it is like to be poor. That kind of life is like going to 18 hell.
He was really fed up with those days.
So I secretly vowed in my heart that no matter how many times I failed, I would continue to pursue wealth as long as I lived.
With the help of friends, in 20 16, Zhu Huaiyang came to Beijing and lived in a dilapidated rental house in the suburbs.
Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, his mood is completely different from last time.
"It is 20 16. We just drank wine and smoked cigars. When we wanted to race, we found that we didn't have a sports car! "
"But I don't think this day will be too far away. In 500 days, we will definitely drive super-running and gallop in this city! "
Zhu Huaiyang's words may be crazy, but this time, he did it.
At the suggestion of his friend, he began to speculate on coins.
During that time, it was the craziest time for bitcoin prices to rise. He invested hundreds of thousands and became a million in two months.
Zhu Huaiyang didn't take a penny, so he turned his head and put it in. The year before and after, he earned nearly 200 million.
You know, a year ago, he was a penniless poor boy who put all his eggs in one basket in Beijing and borrowed hundreds of thousands.
A year later, he was already driving a supercar in the middle of the night and drinking with friends in the most prosperous nightclub in Beijing.
All this stems from Zhu Huaiyang's gambling.
"I already owe 9 million. Even if the investment fails, it is only a few zeros behind the debt for me! "
"But if I win the bet, I can not only pay off all my debts, but also live the life I want. Why not gamble? "
Unfortunately, shortly after Zhu Huaiyang made money, the state began to crack down on currency speculation, and the price of bitcoin began to plummet.
Fortunately, at the peak, Zhu Huaiyang has cashed in.
Holding nearly 200 million cash, ready to join other industries.
He sharpened his knife and prepared for his next gamble.
At the beginning of 2020, due to the outbreak of the epidemic, the demand for masks increased greatly, and the supply of meltblown cloth was also very tight.
The price rose from 20,000 yuan per ton to 400,000 yuan per ton.
Meltblown cloth is the core material for making masks.
Generally, the mask is divided into 3-5 layers. In addition to the outermost cotton cloth, the middle layer is meltblown cloth.
The function of meltblown cloth is mainly to isolate bacteria and viruses existing in droplets, and it is also the key for masks to stop the spread of COVID-19.
The shortage of masks and meltblown fabrics made Zhu Huaiyang smell a little business opportunity.
He made a decisive move and invested 5 million yuan. He founded a mask factory with several investors and began to produce masks.
At the beginning of his business, Zhu Huaiyang was full of confidence, thinking that he was just selling a mask. I'm sure I can run my business well.
But after the actual experience, I found that this is not the case.
No matter how simple and small an enterprise looks, don't underestimate it before entering the business, or you will suffer a big loss.
On the first day of opening, Zhu Huaiyang and several partners went to the factory to buy the meltblown cloth needed to make masks.
Zhu Huaiyang has never done mask business and knows nothing about meltblown fabrics. When the manufacturer told him yes, he believed it.
As a result, it took 500 thousand tons, and it was found that the quality of this batch of meltblown cloth was very poor, and the mask made could not pass the inspection at all.
At the moment he learned the news, Zhu Huaiyang was so angry that he even wanted to rush to the seller's factory and burn it with fire.
But he knows that the urgent task now is not to fight with the other party, but to contact the return as soon as possible.
A set of processes, not only did not earn a penny, but lost a lot of freight.
The raw materials finally settled and the factory entered a stable production period. At this time, the director gave them a meeting.
At the meeting, the factory director said that when investors buy mask raw materials, they need to settle the payment on the spot, and the factory will not pay in advance.
In a word, all the investors present were nervous.
There are four investors in four workshops, and they only have one order from Paraguay, and there is no news of any other orders.
One million single, four investors grab together, everyone wants to share an extra piece of cake, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes subtle.
Shortly after the meeting, in order to increase production, Zhu Huaiyang sold a sports car bought by 20 18 and got10.5 million in cash.
Zhu Huaiyang didn't leave any money, but all of it was invested in the factory.
"I have a lot of cars. I do not like this car. I will sell it! "
Just as Zhu Huaiyang's production line was working overtime, the accident happened again.
The Ministry of Commerce has published a white list of 43 mask manufacturers. The factory where Zhu Huaiyang is located is not among these 43 enterprises.
In other words, the masks produced by Zhu Huaiyang can't go abroad at all, and its initial investment is equivalent to waste.
After learning the news, Zhu Huaiyang collapsed inside.
He invested more than 5 million yuan in the mask, and he hasn't seen the money come back yet.
If the mask can't be exported, his 5 million will be wasted.
Fortunately, things are not without turning around. After the list was published, the factory director has submitted an application.
You can get the relevant certificate of mask export after one month.
After hearing the news, Zhu Huaiyang was finally relieved.
He called home for a long time. Unlike Zhu Huaiyang's anxiety, his parents attach great importance to it.
They told Zhu Huaiyang that there was no need to entangle this matter.
"Anyway, the debt at home has been paid off, so you don't have to worry about food and clothing now. It doesn't matter even if I lose money, I will become your class! "
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Huaiyang's frowning brows finally eased.
Although he can't be as open-minded as his parents, at least his parents' words reassured him a lot.
"Even if the sky falls, I still have a home!"
I didn't expect this sentence to become a word. Soon after, Zhu Huaiyang's innocence collapsed.
The next day, Zhu Huaiyang came to work in the factory normally and heard the news of his partner, such as being struck by lightning.
"Paraguay 1 10,000 orders were not signed at all!"
In other words, the so-called order has been received, which is completely a scam of the factory, just to get investors to invest money.
After learning the news, Zhu Huaiyang and the factory director had a big fight, but even if the quarrel was fierce, they could not place orders out of thin air.
At the moment when he returned to the workshop, Zhu Huaiyang collapsed to the ground, and at this time he still had a glimmer of hope.
"I have so much cash in my hand, even if I don't have an order from Paraguay, I can sell it later!"
After all, the epidemic is so serious now that there is no sales.
Unfortunately, the news from behind made him completely give up his struggle.
The factory director told Zhu Huaiyang that the next order, Party A asked to make five layers of masks inside and outside.
The four-layer mask they produced before could not be delivered at all.
Zhu Huaiyang sat on the ground with a wry smile. He never imagined that he would fall so badly this time because of the experience in the mall.
The mask production line he worked so hard to prepare closed down in just one month, and the factory closed down.
There is only one place left to produce the waste after masks. Hundreds of thousands of tons when you buy it, and it's only worth 1000 yuan when you sell it.
But even if life treated him like this, Zhu Huaiyang did not regret it.
"I am a person who thinks a lot. When people tell me that you can't handle it, I must prove it to you! "
"Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. I want them to see a Zhu Huaiyang who solves the problem, not a Zhu Huaiyang who can only drive a sports car! "
After the investment failed, Zhu Huaiyang did not give up.
He still has a lot of money to bet on, and I believe he can bet on the future again in the near future.
After things were fermented, Zhu Huaiyang was inevitably labeled as "the country is difficult to make money" by netizens.
In this regard, Zhu Huaiyang paused and then responded.
"After all, someone has to do something. Just look at how the national financial crisis is defined!"
"To drive up prices at a particularly high price and then sell them to people in need, even imported goods can live, which makes it difficult for the country to make money!"
"And I just sell masks seriously. You may only earn a few dollars after exporting. I think the money I earned is quite conscience! "
Admittedly, as Zhu Huaiyang said.
"Someone has to do some things!"
A good businessman is a person who sells the right goods at the right time and place and succeeds.
Today, Zhu Huaiyang may not be an excellent businessman.
But he dares to take risks and struggle. I believe that in the near future, China's business will definitely have its own place.
As long as he keeps this belief and works hard for it, I think one day, he will realize his dream.
