Worker Jin Xukai earned 300,000 with 1,000 yuan of hard work

In daily study, work or life, the most familiar thing to everyone is articles. The following is my The information compiled by Jin Xukai, a wage earner, who worked hard to earn 300,000 yuan with 1,000 yuan, is for reference only. You are welcome to read it.

At the end of 2002, wage earner Jin Xukai finally received his first intellectual property income of 300,000 yuan. This is undoubtedly a huge fortune for him who has always been very poor. But what is incredible is that he did not spend the money. He donated all 300,000 yuan, and he became a pauper again.

At the beginning of April, poplar catkins were floating in the city of Beijing. Jin Xukai rushed from Meishan, Sichuan to Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, making a special trip to pay nearly a year's tuition arrears to a poor college student he had never met.

I don’t understand why Jin Xukai did this. The house in his hometown is in dilapidated condition, and he should use the money to repair it. His mother, who raised him and his younger brother, has suffered for most of his life. He should use this money to be filial to her. His wife, who only got married last year, has been waiting for him for ten years and has been poor with him for ten years. He should use this money to let his beloved woman live a good life.

With these questions in mind, I asked him to meet him near Xueyuan Road in the west of the city.

Jin Xukai said calmly: "I want to help those poor children and let them realize their dreams."

Because he is poor and cannot afford toys, his younger brother often looks at others. When I was 6 years old, the child was fascinated by the toys in his hands. The longing eyes hurt me deeply. His father, who was carrying his bedroll to work in Xinjiang, turned back step by step and left home. Once he left, he would never leave home again. Didn't come back.

My mother was only 25 years old at the time. She had great-grandmother, grandmother, and my brother and me. The burden of life for four generations of five people fell entirely on her shoulders. In order to support the family, mothers work harder than men, like a cow. After finishing her work in the fields, she went to the city to help people pull briquettes. No matter it was the scorching summer heat or the mid-winter when the dripping water turned into ice, she would always bend down and pull a frame truck filled with briquettes, running through the streets and alleys. .

My family is poor and cannot afford toys. My younger brother often looks at other children’s toys in a daze, and that longing look in his eyes hurts me deeply. So, I found wood, rubber bands and other things, and made my own windmills and birdcages, airplanes and trains in my imagination, and "sleeve arrows" and "returning crossbows" that appeared in martial arts books. Those toys made my brother happy, and other children were also envious. I tasted the joy of creation for the first time.

Every day, at dawn, my mother would go to work in the fields, and I would be woken up to take care of the porridge pot. When I was six or seven years old, I was a sleepy age. I often fell asleep while sitting by the stove. As a result, the porridge overflowing from the pot extinguished the fire in the stove. When my mother comes home, she always scolds her and feels sorry for every grain of rice wasted. If the porridge is about to overflow, it would be nice to have something that can automatically open the lid. After many experiments, I used a rubber band between the two handles of the pot and the three points of the handle of the pot lid to make a simple anti-spill device. From then on, I no longer needed to take care of myself when cooking porridge, and my mother also looked at me with admiration.

Since then, I have been fascinated by inventions, and inspiration often comes to me.

I inserted the short pencil end into one end of the bamboo tube and the eraser into the other end. It was very convenient to use. Later, I found that a few chickens raised at home were running around the village and the eggs they laid could not be found. So I found some discarded wood and made a "non-electric automatic egg collecting and feeding, high-efficiency three-dimensional chicken machine". cage". That year, I was 13 years old.

There are many such small inventions, and the inspiration is almost always forced by the poor life.

In 1992, my mother fell seriously ill and still struggled to get up and work. I sat beside her bed and took a breath: "I want to go out to work and earn money." My mother's eyes immediately turned red, and her voice trembled as she said, "Your father went out to work and never came back. If something happens to you outside, , How can I live?" I didn't refute again. The next day, I left a letter to my mother and quietly left home with only more than 100 yuan. I said in the letter: "I must let you live a good life. No matter where I go, I will never embarrass you." I am not afraid of hardship, but am I working just to have food to eat?

In the late autumn of 1992, after many days of wandering, I finally arrived in Hainan. Standing in the crowd, I was nervous and confused.

I ran around looking for work during the day and slept on the roadside at night. Because my ID card was lost on the road, I was stuck everywhere and couldn't find a job. I only dare to eat two steamed buns a day and drink tap water when I am thirsty. On the 15th day, I only had 5 cents left in my pocket. Panicked and desperate, I came to the beach and couldn't help but walk towards the waves. The splashing waves were as bitter and salty as tears. I suddenly thought of my mother thousands of miles away and slowly retracted my steps.

I endured hunger and climbed ashore to continue looking for a job. The first job was to dig out the accumulated mud from a sewage outlet leading to the sea. The boss only provided food and accommodation, but no wages. He threw a brick on the ground of the work shed and said, "Let's sleep there." He stood at the smelly sewage outlet digging mud, and then drove the trucks one by one to the nursery. Although it was hard work, I finally had something to eat. After more than twenty days, the work was finished and I was unemployed again.

The second job was working as a security guard in a hotel. While others were fast asleep, I kept my eyes wide open and couldn't fall asleep. Are you working just to have food to eat?

One day, a friend complained to me that he had to take a taxi in an emergency and was stopped on the side of the road for a long time because the bus was full. At that time, taxis did not have signs indicating whether they were carrying passengers. When I heard this, my heart was shaken. The long-lost creative inspiration was like a flame, lighting up the path under my feet. If a rental passenger display could be designed, it would be a big market!

I was very excited and wanted to start designing right away. However, that flash of inspiration was like opening a door. The world inside the door was unfathomable. I, who knew nothing about electronic circuits, remote controls, etc., could not enter that world at all. I had to learn from scratch. I went to an electrical repair shop to work with a master. I looked around, worked hard, and asked questions frequently. Over the course of a few months, I had a thorough understanding of electronic circuits.

The design drawings finally came out. In order to [FS:PAGE] devote myself to the trial production, I rented a small tin house on the beach where fishermen kept their fishing gear with only more than 100 yuan. I put my own I was locked in and experimented over and over again. I had no money and no time to make rice. Every day I cooked a pot of gruel without salt or vegetables, then soaked the rice pot in sea water, and drank a little when I was hungry.

One day, a friend asked about my whereabouts and found me at the beach. He asked the local fishermen if they had seen me. The fisherman pointed to the small iron house and asked: "Is the one you are looking for living in?" That weirdo inside?" My friend half-believed and pushed open the ajar door. When he saw me, who was unkempt, unshaven, and emaciated, he rushed over and hugged me tightly, crying bitterly.

More than a month later, I walked out of the tin hut holding the first rental passenger monitor I had successfully developed. In November 1994, the rental passenger display I invented won a national patent.

In the past six years, I have been unemployed 17 times. I was often so poor that I could no longer find a coin in my pocket. I no longer lived for a bite of food. Inspiration for creation kept flashing in my mind. I was excited by each inspiration, but also tortured by each inspiration.

In order to make inventions easier, I gave up good job opportunities one after another and chose jobs with relatively flexible working hours but low income. What I did most was night security, and I worked at night. During the day, I was either doing market research or going to the library to look up information, or I was locked in a small room making inventions. I had no money to buy books or materials, so I went to the bookstore to read books and copy materials. I was kicked out of the bookstore more than once.

One night, I was working as a security guard in a hotel lobby. Several Hong Kong guests stood not far from me and talked about syphilis and AIDS. They said that they did not dare to sit on the toilet easily when staying in a hotel. The toilet is an important way to spread these diseases. I immediately realized that this would be a research topic with a broad market.

After get off work, I first went to the hotel room bathroom to observe the toilet, and then went to the hotel warehouse to find an old toilet, and repeatedly observed, disassembled, and studied it. In those days, all I could think about was this matter. After having a preliminary idea, I bought back the materials and started experimenting. After continuous exploration and analysis, three months later, I designed an electric device that can automatically wrap the toilet seat with just the push of a button. A layer of paper gasket that can be recycled automatically after use.

However, when I took my design results to do market research, I found that this design had serious drawbacks: first, the cost was high, and second, the electric device was not suitable for wet bathrooms.

I overturned all my designs and started from scratch again. I wanted to find a design solution with highly concentrated functions, highly refined technology, and the lowest cost.

In one year, two years, and three years, in order to "simplify it to the point where it can no longer be simplified," I overturned my design again and again and started from scratch again and again. However, every failure was a sign of improvement. advancement of the ultimate goal.

In order to perfect my invention, I have conducted market research in more than 50 cities across the country in the past few years. Except for food, almost all the money I earn from working is spent on this. Eat a bag of instant noodles when you're hungry, drink tap water when you're thirsty. In order to earn travel expenses, I had to work while doing research. I carried cement bags at the Huangpu River dock and worked as a small laborer at a construction site in Wuhan. At the end of that year, when I returned to Haikou by working all the way, it was already New Year’s Eve. I lost my job and didn’t even have a place to live. I was wandering on the streets with only 3 yuan left in my pocket.

I have been away from home for six years, how much I miss my mother! But I have always suppressed this longing. One time I went to Chengdu for market research, and it was only over an hour's journey home from there. I bought a ticket home as soon as I got off the train, but with that ticket in hand, I didn't have the courage to get on the bus home. I still had nothing, and I still couldn't fulfill my original promise. How could I face my mother? With tears in my eyes, I saw the car driving away towards my hometown. I turned around and tore up the ticket.

I spent that New Year’s Eve on a cement bench in the park pavilion. I thought about it for a long time and a lot. I couldn't let down my mother or my girlfriend who was waiting for me.

I met my girlfriend when I was working as a security guard in a hotel. She was a city girl with a stable job. Her family and friends were against our falling in love - who could believe in the happiness promised by a migrant worker with no fixed address? But she believed in me. She said in the letter: "No one is optimistic about our future, so what does it matter? What matters is the attitude and confidence of two people... Focus on your work, and I will always wait for you." "I finally developed a disposable toilet sanitary membrane pad that is easy to operate and can be automatically recycled. Each of my inspirations turned into refreshing achievements through hard work: sheltered electric toothbrush; foldable portable bathtub; fully enclosed water storage... In eight years, I made 58 inventions. Among them, 23 inventions have obtained national patents, and the "Toilet Sanitary Diaphragm Pad" and "Sheltered Electric Toothbrush" have also obtained international patents.

In 1998, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice and other eight ministries and commissions awarded me the honorable title of "Top Ten Outstanding Migrant Youth in the Country". When the news reached Haikou, I was experiencing unemployment for the 17th time and was looking for a job on the street.

Carrying 58 gold mines, I have once again pushed myself to the lowest point. Some people say that my 58 inventions are 58 gold mines. They say that if I sell any of my inventions, I can become a pauper. Become a rich man.

When I attended the "Top Ten Outstanding Migrant Youth in the Country" commendation conference in Beijing, a leader from Tianjin invited me to Tianjin and promised to settle the household registration for me and my family and arrange a house with three bedrooms and one living room. . An American group company expressed its willingness to help me and my family immigrate to the United States, and promised to create the best conditions for my invention to enter the global market. Some manufacturers in Shenzhen and Zhuhai also came to negotiate with me and were willing to buy out my patents.

I have also been tempted, but people cannot live just for money. I have always had a dream in my heart. I want to turn my inventions into products, run my own business, and make my own products more popular. When a product enters the market, it is often said that the stage is as big as the heart. But I know very well that the big stage is for those who have the ability. To transform inventions into products and bring them to the market, I need to learn a lot. I decided to spend two to three years learning knowledge, developing abilities, and accumulating experience.

In March 1999, I left Hainan for Shenzhen and became an ordinary wage earner, starting from the bottom. I specifically choose to work for companies that need to innovate and improve their products. There, I learned about their production equipment, technological processes, business management, financial operations, etc. A company boss joked with me: "It seems you want to steal all our company's technology." Just like that, I have worked in more than a dozen companies. Shenzhen's fast pace and high competition, especially the acceptance of The ability to create new things and the open and active creative atmosphere have benefited me a lot.

In October 2002, I declined all invitations and carried 58 gold mines back to my hometown of Meishan City, Sichuan Province. Here, I founded Shure Cleaning Company (Sichuan) together with investors. Ltd., I serve as the general manager of the company. Our slogan is: If you can think of it, we can do it.

My road has been very bumpy and difficult over the years. Without the help of kind-hearted people, I would never be where I am today. I will never forget a wage earner named Gu Guobin who lost his job and had no food or clothing, but gave me his remaining 50 yuan. I will never forget that I had no money to eat when I was doing market research in Shanghai. A Jiangxi native who was on a business trip in Shanghai took me to a restaurant for a full meal and gave me 100 yuan. He encouraged me and said, "Young man, you must If you want to persevere, you must be very happy.” At the end of last year, I received my first intellectual property income of 300,000 yuan. I decided to use this money as initial capital to establish a foundation to support and educate poor children who are interested in inventions and creations.

I hope that those "hard-working children" will have less ups and downs on the road of life. I hope that when they are in the most difficult time, someone will say to them: You must hold on! After walking through thorns and mud, you can see the blue sky and the spring of life. ;
