1950, Li Ka-shing, who was only 22 years old, set up the Changjiang Plastic Factory in Shau Kei Wan with his savings of 7,000 dollars. "Yangtze River" means "The Yangtze River does not choose a trickle, so it can mighty Wan Li". At the beginning of the factory, there was a quality accident, and Li Ka-shing was encouraged by his cousin Zhuang Yueming to tide over the difficulties.

At the end of 1957, Changjiang Plastics Factory was renamed Changjiang Industrial Co., Ltd. ... The headquarters of the company was moved from Xinpu Port to North Point, with Li Ka-shing as the chairman and general manager. Plastic flowers have brought tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profits to Li Ka-shing, and Changjiang Factory has also become the largest manufacturer of plastic flowers in the world. Soon, he actively explored the world market and became the "king of plastic flowers".

Brilliant cause

1958, Li Ka-shing built its first industrial building in the north corner of Hong Kong Island, and built a 12-storey factory building, which officially entered the real estate market. 1960, the second industrial building in Chai Wan was completed, and Li Ka-shing's career quickly became brilliant.

In 2009, the total market value of Changjiang Industry was about HK$ 654.38+000 billion.

In the 20 12 Forbes Rich List, Li Ka-shing ranked ninth and became the richest man in Asia.

Jiacheng is a real self-made entrepreneur. Without the protection of parents and rich network resources, he only fought his way out in the cruel business battlefield with his shrewd business mind and extraordinary determination, and finally achieved his own business empire. Compared with the Li Ka-shing era, it is much more convenient to start a business now. First, national policy support. Second, the rise of the Internet has given entrepreneurs more opportunities.
