Among these people, there is a good-looking young man who looks more than twenty years old. He carries bricks, cement, lays the foundation of engineering and does all kinds of manual work on the construction site.
What is presented to people is that he wears a yellow helmet on his head and a thin layer of rough white gloves on his hands, sweating like rain on the construction site.
When I was working, I always carried the necessary materials and tools on the construction site. When I am not working, I talk and laugh with the workers next to me, like two brothers.
At first glance, this scene makes people feel like a hard-working image of an unemployed young man from the countryside working hard in the city.
However, what people don't know is that this person is not a person who has no education and can only go to the construction site to work. On the contrary, he is not only uneducated, but also a well-educated college student.
What's even more incredible is that he has a diploma and degree certificate from the Astronomy Department of Nanjing University, a well-known domestic university.
What is even more shocking is that this young man who worked hard to move bricks on the construction site, after many years, boarded the 20 18 Hurun Report together with famous domestic entrepreneurs such as Ma Yun, Ma Hua Teng and Wang Jianlin, ranking tenth on the list.
Today, his personal worth has far exceeded 1000 billion yuan!
So, the question is, what has he experienced in these twenty years? Why can you fly to the sky, win the championship in one fell swoop, and reach the realm that ordinary people can't reach?
All these questions have to start with the original story of his coming to Shenzhen.
Jump out of the comfort zone: the poor boy came to Shenzhen alone with his dream.
From 65438 to 0968, Wang was born in a remote mountain village in Anhui. His ancestors were rooted in the land and mountains.
This doomed his fate: when he was a child, because of his poor family, Wang often got up before dawn to do farm work.
Transplanting, farming and planting fruit trees would not have happened without him. Mowing grass, feeding pigs, feeding chickens, herding cattle and sheep, without him, he wouldn't. He grew up in the mountains.
However, this kind of life is not what he wants or wants, because he has a heart that is unwilling to be mediocre.
Therefore, when he is old enough to go to school, he will take time out to study after finishing his farm work every day.
Because he knows that in his family environment, if you want to get ahead, you have to study hard.
Finally, at the age of1989,21,I was admitted to my dream school-Nanjing University. In this way, he left the mountain and went to Nanjing.
Then time passed quickly, and when I graduated, I was assigned to Shanghai Gao Qiao Petrochemical Company smoothly.
The salary of this company is also very good, with a monthly salary of 4000 yuan. Think about it. In the 1980s and 1990s, this salary was sky-high. It is said that it was twice the average salary in Shanghai at that time.
But he is not satisfied with the job that most people envy, because he feels that this job is too stable, and there is no sense of accomplishment and satisfaction day after day.
He knew he didn't want to live this life, so he was quietly waiting for the opportunity until 1993, when Shenzhen was designated as a special economic zone.
Wang felt that this was an opportunity, so he resigned decisively.
He got on the train to Shenzhen with his packed luggage on his back. On the way, he looked at the scenery that passed slowly outside the window and dreamed of a beautiful life of going to Shenzhen for gold.
However, the development of things is not as smooth as he imagined, nor as smooth as he hoped.
At that time, 25-year-old Wang resigned from his job in Shanghai and traveled to Shenzhen alone with 400 yuan money. He didn't expect that he couldn't find a job in this big city!
Although he graduated from Nanjing University, his major can't find a corresponding job here.
The consumption in Shenzhen is very high. After running for a few days, he was left with 10 yuan. Not to mention staying in a hotel, even eating has become a big problem.
Desperate and nowhere to go, he had to find a coolie with a high school diploma.
Because of my meager income, I can only eat every meal, and at the same time, because I can't afford to rent a house, I can only live in a cement tube ovary that leaks rain everywhere.
Later, when recalling this difficult time, Wang explained in a unique way: I must lay a good foundation first, otherwise, how can I manage the factory in the future?
However, in the face of such a huge gap, he didn't complain, and he didn't back down. Later, I entered a Hong Kong factory producing wire plugs and worked as an ordinary warehouse manager.
Workplace life tells us that if we want to get promoted quickly, we must learn to attract the attention of leaders and let them appreciate you.
And Wang knows this truth well. Only one week later, he successfully caught the attention of the supervisor.
Why? Does he have any secrets? Just because he can casually tell the code of any cable and plug in the warehouse, he knows what the boss asks.
But, you know, there are thousands of materials in the warehouse! So, in the final analysis, it is because he is hardworking and thoughtful.
Now, because of Wang's outstanding performance, the supervisor not only praised Wang, but also promoted Wang many times.
Soon after, with the efforts of Wang, he was promoted to seven levels in a row. In this factory, he went from a small warehouse manager in the warehouse management department to the assistant general manager of this department, and finally to the general manager of the production material control department of the factory.
His career was smooth sailing, and it took him only one year to get to this position. His annual salary has reached one million, which is dozens of times higher than the original salary.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is enough to reach this level in this life.
After all, in the twenties, being famous and making money is not something that can be done casually and ordinary.
However, for Wang, this is not his ultimate goal, and he will not stop there.
Because, he deeply understands a truth: in a company, no matter how well you work and how high you climb, you can't escape the restriction of one identity, that is, you are a migrant worker, and your fate is not in your own hands, only controlled by the company.
Therefore, Wang is not willing to be a wage earner at all. He also wants to start a company, a factory, be someone else's boss and control his own destiny.
However, starting a company requires funds, especially entrepreneurs who want to start an industrial company. This is true whether you are engaged in light industry or heavy industry.
Wang thought: the current job is not enough to get a lot of money in a short time. Finally, Wang made up his mind and jumped out of the boat.
Facts have also proved that Wang's right choice is correct. He started a business in this Japanese Hitachi company and earned a sum of money, more than 20 million.
Perhaps, the money won't feel anything now, but when you think of China in the 1990s, it's a huge sum.
Busy period of starting a business: As a businessman, the most important thing is to be bold.
Time flies, and it will arrive in the blink of an eye 1995. Wang has only been in Shenzhen for two years. As he hoped, he really opened a company in this peanut city.
He was very excited and excited in the days when he was going to start a company. He didn't sleep for several nights, thinking about many things to do after the company was established.
One night, he suddenly remembered an important thing: the name of the company had not been decided.
He is thinking, what should be his name?
As a result, when he went to the industrial and commercial bureau to register, he suddenly had a brainwave and thought of a very domineering and imposing name, Xie Wei Industrial Co., Ltd.
This is really an idiom, that is, as the name implies, the company's initial stage is just like this name, and it is magnificent.
According to his experience in the factory, he plans to start buying and selling Wang's power cables. In the early days of the company, Wang was busy day and night.
Every day before dawn, he will drive a consignment truck to deliver goods back and forth between suppliers and customers. But even though he was busy, he didn't forget to think about how to make the factory develop better.
As a qualified businessman, how to get the maximum profit at the lowest cost is his priority. Now, Wang is waiting for an opportunity.
1997 is the time when the Asian financial storm struck.
At that time, due to the downward pressure of the economy, not only did the factory rents provided by all factory suppliers fall again and again, but also a large number of their production equipment were unsalable and could not be sold.
Wang thinks the opportunity has come: he wants to buy a lot of these equipment first, take the lead at the lowest price, and seize the opportunity first, that is, cross the dragon gate.
So Wang Yiran found these suppliers and negotiated with them. At first, suppliers were reluctant to sell their production equipment at such a low price.
But seeing that the inventory is piling up day by day, they also have nowhere to go and have no choice.
As a result, the supplier finally promised Wang to sell all the equipment to him by installment, and paid a deposit of 10% in advance.
As a result, Wang Yi bought more than 100 sets of equipment, which directly contributed to an established fact that he became the largest factory in Shenzhen.
1999, Wang integrated his factory into an international group. This kind of group integration is to expand and extend the wire rod factory to the upstream of the industry.
Therefore, he stepped up the establishment of cable factories, processing factories, plastic factories and so on. At the same time, he sold his products to 100 countries with the reputation of high quality and low price.
Until 2003, Kevin·Z Group has become one of the most complete power cord manufacturers in China, not only in China, but also in the world.
It was also the time when SARS swept through China.
Because of the impact of the epidemic, a large amount of capital quickly withdrew from the financial and physical fields, and the prices of various domestic resources and products fell sharply.
Wang saw that the price of copper mine has also dropped a lot, and the most needed metal for producing wires is copper.
At this time, he seized the opportunity to acquire several large-scale copper-tungsten mines at home and abroad, preparing to expand the industrial circle and vigorously enter the copper-tungsten industry.
Soon after, the value of copper and tungsten ore rose one after another, and the group finally made huge profits, which also enabled Wang to start the business of copper mining and smelting.
After that, he is going to win a production project of copper rod line. However, it was opposed by the partners.
This project is not a small amount and needs the unanimous approval of the board of directors.
Wen Yin, this project is too risky. If it fails, it's all gone. Otherwise, you can reconsider.
Faced with all kinds of doubts and uncertainties, Wang did not waver in his mind and decided to invest 2.8 billion yuan to take this project down.
Why is Wang so decisive? Because he sees the problem and sees it in the longer term.
He didn't stick to the petty profits in front of him, nor was he defeated by the fear of the future, but focused on the long term.
Wang's behavior directly made the group no longer have to look at the fluctuation of raw material prices, and also made Wang a leading leader in the copper and tungsten industry.
Since then, Wang has won the title of World Copper King. At this point, his legendary life is not over yet.
In 2008, it was another stormy period, and the global financial storm swept through.
For ordinary people, this financial storm is undoubtedly a setback and a sudden disaster.
For Wang, this is a golden opportunity, a good opportunity to charge against the wind and climb the peak bravely.
Wang bought a large number of foreign devalued copper processing enterprises and bought hundreds of thousands of tons of copper at low prices. After the crisis, the price of copper rose, and he sold it at a high price, earning tens of billions of profits!
Today, Wang's company is different.
In 2020, Kevin·Z International Group has 30,000 employees and achieved a turnover of 6910.90 billion yuan, ranking fourth among the top 500 private enterprises in China in 2026, with 5438+0.
On March 3rd1,20265438, Wang Dang was elected as the vice president of the 4th China European Union Association.
In April, 20021year, Wang himself was ranked 16 1 position in Forbes' global rich list with13.2 billion dollars.
At that time, the company was still a small factory and Wang was still a worker. Now, it has changed from a small factory to Kevin·Z International Group, one of the top 500 enterprises in the world.
Today, after more than 20 years of development, the international group founded by Wang has become the largest copper company in the world, and controls 65,438+00% of the country's copper production capacity and 5% of the world's copper reserves.
In addition, there are more than 20 mines in foreign countries and other countries, and the total value of mineral resources is as high as hundreds of trillions.
Someone may see here, can not help but have some doubts:
Since Wang's achievements are so high, why haven't I heard of his name? Why isn't he as famous as Jack Ma of Alibaba and Ren of Huawei?
In fact, this stems from a principle of Wang's life:
That is to be low-key and do high-profile things.
In fact, it is not difficult for us to find that every choice made by Wang is a different path. Because he did something that others could not do and thought from an angle that others could not see, he succeeded.
Looking back at Wang's legendary life, he also taught us a lot.
summary
In fact, both Wang who dared to jump out of the comfort zone and Wang who came to Shenzhen for the first time repeatedly hit a wall and struggled to survive, which reflected his excellent quality as a social person and businessman.
Hard work, perseverance, keenness and determination, modesty and prudence can all be seen from Wang. These qualities are what we should have as a worker or as a leader.
And this is the philosophy of life that we are born to be human and need to understand and savor in life.
