As we all know, both Ma Yun and Wang Jianlin have been on the rich list, which is even more powerful than the two of them. How rich they are.
As rich as the enemy.
There are many industries under Huang's name, the most important of which is his bank. At that time, only three banks had the right to issue paper money, namely Bank of China, Bank of Communications and Central South Bank.
Central South Bank is owned by Huang, who holds 70% of the shares and owns a bank that can issue paper money. This is no joke. It is not difficult to imagine how strong Huang's economic strength is.
"Being rich is willful" is also vividly reflected in Huang. 19 19, on the 74th birthday of Huang's mother, Huang chose to hold a grand banquet in the Sino-German Building in Gulangyu.
At that time, it was popular to sing on stage for birthdays, and Huang naturally would not leave this kind of entertainment behind. However, his stage is a little different.
Huang asked people to put four big wooden barrels on the four corners of the stage. Guess what this bucket is for? It is used to hold silver dollars!
Huang spread the news that anyone passing by today can take out a silver dollar from the bucket, which is a happy occasion. As soon as the news came out, people flocked from all directions, which can be said to surround the Sino-German Building.
The hardships of starting from scratch
And just these silver dollars, according to the RMB circulating in China now, that piece is also worth 3000 yuan.
Huang spends money like water, it is hard to imagine how much wealth he has. The most admirable thing about Huang is that all the wealth he enjoyed was achieved by his own efforts.
"God will be a great power to the people of Sri Lanka. We must first suffer from their minds, their bones and muscles, starve their bodies, empty their bodies and do whatever we want."
Huang was not born in a rich family. On the contrary, when he was a child, his family was poor and he had to travel for a living. When he was twelve years old, he studied hairdressing techniques with a barber as a means of making a living.
However, contrary to expectations, he failed to do this "job" safely. While giving a local squire a haircut, he accidentally cut the squire's eyebrows.
At present, the squire was furious, saying that Huang touched his forehead and threatened to let Huang get along in this place. As the saying goes, dragons don't crush local strongmen. What's more, it was the Huang family with no power at that time.
Helpless, the family unanimously decided to let Huang go out to take refuge, and also sold a piece of land cultivated by his ancestors in exchange for 36 silver dollars as travelling expenses on the Yellow Road.
Huang, who left his hometown, really suffered a lot. He went to Singapore, Indonesia, Central Java and other places, but because he had no other skills, he had to make a living as a barber.
Business wizards show their talents
"Read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road". Taking the crystal of Wan Li Road has broadened my horizons to a certain extent, and I have gradually realized that it is difficult to find a way out if I have been a "barber".
At this time, his eyes were fixed on the vendors in his hometown, and he realized that this might be a way out. He thought about it, first borrowed some money from his fellow villagers, set up a stall by himself, walked the streets and became a hawker.
I have to say that Huang is a very business-minded person. Other vendors choose some bustling business districts, but he does the opposite. No matter how rugged the mountain road is, no matter how remote the location is, he carries a pole and walks without complaint.
Candy, coffee, cups and plates, all kinds of goods, plus his sincerity and childlike innocence, his name soon came up.
At this time, it showed his courage. He seized this opportunity and opened his first grocery store, which was named "Rixing Brand".
Thanks to his proper management, the operation of the grocery store is booming. Twelve years later, his grocery stores have spread all over Indonesia. At that time, he was only thirty years old and had achieved so much.
Soon after, at the beginning of World War I, Huang saw business opportunities and began to deal in sugar, which led to the rapid accumulation of capital. At that time, the value soared and was once called "the sugar king of the Asian generation".
His name was also included in the Who's Who of World Business, and Huang, a poor boy, became a business tycoon of Huang.
Return to China with huge funds for development.
After World War I, the Dutch colonial government suffered heavy losses and once made ends meet economically. At this time, the thriving yellow became a thorn in their side.
They tried their best to get some money from Huang's pocket. After racking their brains, they gave Huang two choices: first, they paid15 million yuan to the Dutch government to become a Dutch citizen; The second is to leave Holland and go back to where you came from.
Not threatened by the Dutch government, Huang decided to sell his assets and return to the motherland. At that time, Huang sold his assets, and how much did it cost?
A * * * one hundred million dollars! This was an astronomical figure at that time. After returning to the motherland, Huang was not idle, but started new investments and fixed his own capital. He also bought a 160 villa on Xiamen Island, which is very magnificent.
Huang is not only wise in business, but also a model for our generation. Even in life, it is very admirable. After his successful career, he also paid close attention to public welfare undertakings in China.
As an island in Xiamen, most of the water on Gulangyu Island cannot be directly used for life, which has caused great troubles to people's lives. Seeing this scene, I am determined to do something to improve the quality of life of my compatriots in Xiamen.
He soon began to plan this matter, first bidding in Shanghai to set up Xiamen Water Supply Company. Later, after testing, the company's water quality is already the best in Asia.
In addition to infrastructure, he also attached great importance to people's education and donated a lot of money to universities such as Xiamen University, Fudan University and Nankai University.
Mr. Huang's life is legendary. He not only created a commercial miracle, but also showed us the demeanor of a generation of great scholars and great men for the country and people, and was a model for our generation.
What we need to learn is not only his great talent in business, but also his patriotism and love for the people after his success.
