Such boring and repetitive work rarely gives people room for improvement. However, success or failure depends on the individual. There really is one of the best factory sisters in China. She was born in the countryside, graduated from junior high school and worked at Foxconn 10 years. But when she was 46, the Daily Telegraph said, "She is one of the youngest self-made female billionaires in the world". She is Wang Laichun, the chairman of Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
Foxconn's Ten Years' Efforts
"Foxconn is the last bottom line for young people." This is what an employee of Foxconn said. Every year, many young people who are not so outstanding are thrown into the torrent of society. When they don't have a diploma to pry open the doors of companies and enterprises, and face the pressure of life, some people will choose advanced factories, sweat like rain in the factories first, and sell their time and labor for money.
Foxconn is the choice of many people, giving them a buffer time, and it is also the first social university for many early dropouts. Most people think that this is the salary for the last day of work, and it is definitely not a place to stay for a long time. But Wang Laichun doesn't think so, which is also related to her identity.
1988, Foxconn built its first processing plant in Shenzhen, employing 150 employees. Wang Laichun's age is 2 1 year. She was born in Chenghai, Chaoshan, and went home to do farm work after graduating from junior high school. At that time, Foxconn just went to Wang Laichun's hometown to recruit people. Wang Laichun tried to sign up and was selected. After that, Wang Laichun left his hometown and went to Shenzhen to become a "veteran" of Foxconn.
Now the environment of many factories is also chaotic and remote. I also want to know that the conditions of Foxconn's first processing plant will not be much superior. In terms of accommodation, the treatment of these employees is quite poor. A Datong store for female workers and a Datong store for male workers. Not only did they sleep very crowded, but they also lived on the top floor, not to mention how hot it was. Many people have to sleep on the floor instead of on the bed. They don't eat well either. Not only do they often not drink water, but the water quality is also very poor. Needless to say, cooked food is hard to swallow.
As a worker, it is common to be squeezed by a factory. At present, in order to save costs and increase production, ordinary factories want employees to work 24 hours a day, which leads to two shifts and three shifts. Factories in Wang Laichun love to cut off water and electricity. If there is a power failure, the machine will not start and the work will be overstocked. This also causes employees to get up and go to work even if they call in the early morning. And in the case of electricity, working overtime for four or five hours is also a routine operation.
Many employees who came in in the same batch did not survive and left. But Wang Laichun insisted. She is studious and enterprising. In order to make employees put into production better, management cadres at that time often trained employees. Wang Laichun not only listens to his own heart, but also demands himself with higher working standards. In addition, she also attaches great importance to some management experiences and lessons, and gradually enriches herself.
Every company boasts that it attaches great importance to talents, and talented people are promoted quickly. Generally, new factories are in urgent need of talents, and it is really easy to get ahead. As a "senior" employee, Wang Laichun is hard-working, aggressive and diligent. Who will she promote if she doesn't get promoted? In ten years, Wang Laichun has changed from an ordinary female worker on an assembly line to a supervisor who manages thousands of people.
Entrepreneurship is at the peak of life.
However, generally talented people will not let themselves be inferior to others forever. During his ten years working at Foxconn, Wang Laichun has accumulated enough management experience. She started from the grassroots level and made clear all the doorways of Foxconn. Ten years later, Wang Laichun offered to resign. Guo Taiming personally came to keep her, but when he learned about Wang Laichun's business plan, he was very supportive of her. In 2004, Wang Laichun established Li Xun Co., Ltd. through Li Xun investment.
Wang Laichun didn't deliberately avoid the business scope of her old club. In fact, her entrepreneurial direction is consistent with Foxconn. However, they did not tear their faces and compete maliciously. On the contrary, Foxconn gave strong support to Wang Laichun in its early days. At first, Wang Laichun didn't have any orders, so Foxconn would give her some orders. A few years later, Foxconn became Li Xun's biggest customer. Li Xun will produce products through third-party processing and then sell them to Foxconn.
Six years later, Li Xun successfully went public, and Wang Laichun's net worth reached 2.3 billion. After listing, Li Xun grew bigger and bigger, and Wang Laichun's net worth increased, and he was selected into Forbes China Rich List for many times. From June 2065438 to June 2005, the total wealth of Wang Laichun was1200 million. From 2065438 to May 2007, her net worth doubled to 22.02 billion yuan. In March, 2020, Wang Laichun ranked fourth in Hurun's list of self-made women rich in the world in 2020 with a net worth of 58 billion yuan.
Wang Laichun has a successful career, but her early education is no longer a problem. However, she was admitted to executive master of business administration of Shenzhen Graduate School of Tsinghua University. When she boarded the podium and the rich list, how many people still remember that she was just a factory girl who was born in the countryside, graduated from junior high school and worked early? It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Laichun is the best girl in the factory. By working at Foxconn, she changed her destiny and reached the peak of her life.
Please don't be too sensitive, this is just a comparison, not to look down on rural areas, junior high school graduates and factory girls. In the secular sense, these three labels do have natural disadvantages in the job market and blind date market. )
There is no fixed method to success, but we can learn from it.
Again, there is no fixed way to succeed. People can't copy the experience of many successful people, but they can always learn something from it. Wang Laichun's starting point in life is not dominant. She is no different from thousands of factory girls. Several lessons can be learned from her success.
First, you can bear hardships, but don't blindly bear hardships, so that every bitterness you eat has its value. Hard work can be said to be the traditional virtue of China people. But why are thousands of hard-working people so few people as successful as Wang Laichun? That's because many people just waste their time and don't seize the opportunity to improve themselves. The training in the factory sounds long and boring, but Wang Laichun has been accumulating in suffering and working hard, winning the attention of his superiors and rising step by step.
Second, we need some opportunities to make good choices. At that time, Wang Laichun was the first batch of Foxconn employees in Chinese mainland. She was always pragmatic and loyal to the factory. Such people, even if they lack a little education, have strong ability and high qualifications, so they are naturally easy to be promoted. In some mature factories, it is difficult for a person to stand out when competing with tens of thousands of people. If you can adapt to the hardships in the factory, the new branches of those big factories are not an option.
Third, it takes a little skill to get on well with the original owner. Ordinary people start a new stove. When they were young, if they competed with their original owners for business, they were easily suppressed by their original owners. Instead, Li Xun in Wang Laichun was supported by Foxconn, which has to be said to be her ability-including many aspects of being a man and doing things.
In a word, Wang Laichun was originally born in the countryside, graduated from junior high school, and has a natural employment disadvantage. However, she worked in Foxconn for ten years, accumulated work experience, management experience and personal resources, and finally succeeded in starting a business, and was selected into Forbes China Rich List for many times. I have to say that she has achieved success in the secular sense and embarked on the peak of her life, which can be described as the best working girl.
For the average person, there is nothing wrong with working in a factory, even if you have been working, it is only a personal choice. However, there are also rising channels for working. When people are working hard, they might as well make more efforts to prevent themselves from suffering in vain. If time goes by year by year, if you jump from one factory to another, your age is wasted, your salary is not increased, you have no qualifications, and there will be many injuries, then you will lose more than you gain.
