Family history of Zhou Xiaodi characters

History can be completely dressed up. It was a decent rich man who spent a lot of money yesterday. Now he has become a hired murderer who is good at selling land.

Two clues of Zhou Xiaodi's life are inseparable. They happen at the same time. It's hard to say which is the open line and which is the dark line. From Zhang Rongkun and Huang Guangyu to Zhou Xiaodi, the family history of grassroots is being pushed away bit by bit, and the plot is very similar from the first bucket of gold to the persistent road. Personal struggle is innocent, charity is innocent, and the crime lies in "struggle" without rules.

Who gave them such an opportunity? Who gave Zhou Xiaodi the space to wander around? Someone has to be responsible, not just Zhou Xiaodi.

Zhou Xiaodi's crime and punishment are just two charges that have not been prosecuted. More than a year ago, this businessman who grew up in rural Shanghai was still wearing the aura of a charity celebrity in Shanghai; Now, he is sitting on the prisoner's bench with a hint of arrogance in his expression.

65438+February 25th, 2008, the traditional Christmas in the west.

After many times of cooling, Shanghainese finally felt the cold in winter.

In the first court of Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People's Court, Zhou Xiaodi, a Shanghai businessman, appeared in front of the media for the first time in over a year. Under the escort of the bailiff, he walked to the prisoner's box with a calm and indifferent expression.

He wears the same full-length photos circulated on the Internet, dark suit and gold-rimmed glasses. When answering questions, he spoke Mandarin with a strong Pudong accent.

In the public gallery behind him, Zhou Xiaodi's family and reporters who have heard about it have taken their place. Zhou Xiaodi's wife and daughter also appeared at the trial site, and their relatives were calm.

During the trial, Zhou Xiaodi claimed that he had a bad temper and was impulsive. He repeatedly stressed that he was hard of hearing and could not understand the prosecutor's statement. At the same time, he excused many details of the case with his "bad memory".

More than a year ago, this businessman who grew up in rural Shanghai was still wearing the aura of a charity celebrity in Shanghai; Now, he is sitting on the prisoner's bench with a hint of arrogance in his expression. Zhou Xiaodi was born in 1956, an ordinary peasant family in Yangsi Town, Pudong. The house at home is simple and the ground is covered with mud. When I was a child, Zhou Xiaodi went to his henhouse to pick up eggs to eat, and then told his parents that "chickens will not lay eggs today".

Before the age of 25, Zhou Xiaodi, like many young people at that time, lived a leisurely and austere life as a typical rural youth.

The wave of reform and opening up may have a greater impact on rural areas. 1982, the market economy has just started, and goods are rationed. Urban residents in Shanghai have all kinds of tickets in their pockets. They want to eat braised pork or hooves for several months.

Villages in Zhou Xiaodi began to try to raise pigs collectively. After some efforts, Zhou Xiaodi became the leader, and with fund-raising, he started a thriving pig business. Zhou Xiaodi later recalled that the number of pigs reached an astonishing 654.38+00000. If this figure is used, it can be regarded as a large-scale pig farm at that time. However, the experience of cooperative pig raising this time seems to be unpleasant. Investment partners not only failed to make money, but also lost money, and a group of people broke up in discord.

Zhou Xiaodi's role in this collective pig raising is intriguing. Pig farmers found nothing, so they naturally went to settle accounts with Zhou Xiaodi. 1In August, 982, Zhou Xiaodi was sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison by the former Chuansha County People's Court for committing theft and fraud (in court, Zhou Xiaodi claimed that he was imprisoned for smuggling). But two years later, Zhou Xiaodi miraculously had the first start-up capital in his life, and the savings of 65,438+10,000 yuan became the first bucket of gold for this rich man who would be at home in Shanghai's political and business circles in the future.

After that, Zhou Xiaodi, who first tasted the taste of ten thousand households, began to plan to get rid of the countryside. With the first money, Zhou Xiaodi opened a shop selling auto parts. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the automobile industry developed vigorously, and the profit of auto parts was amazing. On the famous Weihai Road in Shanghai, the annual rent of a small auto parts shop in frontispiece can reach more than one million.

With this store, Zhou Xiaodi has accumulated a considerable amount of original funds.

1992, Zhou Xiaodi registered and established New Century Venture Group (predecessor of Shanghai Zhoushi Group) and served as its own chairman. Since then, this enterprise has been involved in many fields and varied.

Chairman Zhou Xiaodi took "New Century Hotel" as his first business. Since then, Zhou Xiaodi, a Shanghai farmer, has become a decent restaurant owner.

From 65438 to 0993, New Century Venture Group started the taxi industry, and Zhou Xiaodi established its own taxi company "New Century Taxi Company". With this taxi company, Zhou Xiaodi earned the first 1 10,000 yuan in his life.

From 65438 to 0995, Zhou Xiaodi opened a nightclub somewhere in Hua Yao Road, Pudong. The name of the nightclub was "New Century International Club". It closed in 2000. During these five years, this nightclub has become an important place for Zhou Xiaodi, a rural youth who broke out almost overnight, to accumulate contacts.

Since then, Zhou Xiaodi's company has continued to develop. New Century Group has successively established overseas employment service co., Ltd., furniture manufacturing co., Ltd., Zhou Group Shanghai International Trade Co., Ltd. and other companies.

Like many businessmen, Zhou Xiaodi is very Buddhist. He built a temple in the company. Monks who read Buddha often go in and out of office buildings. In the past few years, he has invested a lot in this field. He donated 654.38+200,000 yuan to Ming teachers, 654.38+350,000 yuan to Hawke and 655,000 yuan to Yuanming lecture hall. ...

Zhou Xiaodi said: "I have three principles in doing business: one is not to cooperate with private capital, the other is to listen to the government, and the third is to seek stability."

Zhou Xiaodi said that he likes to make friends, and he is a "high-level friend". He once said: "I make high-level friends, which is also good for my descendants." The level of people they will contact in the future is different, which is much more important than leaving money for them. "

In fact, he did make many "high-level friends". In 2000, Zhou Xiaodi started the road of cooperation with high-level officials. This has also opened an important road for him to become a celebrity in Pudong's political and business circles in the next few years. While making money, Zhou Xiaodi began to gild himself.

After all, the reputation of nightclub owners is not so good. At the same time, Zhou Xiaodi began his social activities. In the following ten years, Zhou Xiaodi gradually established a reputation as a philanthropist in the society.

1995 Zhou Xiaodi donated 2 million yuan to Pudong New Area Urban Construction Foundation to make the iconic urban sculpture "Iron" erected at the exit of Pudong, nanpu bridge. In addition, he also donated 6,543,800 yuan to the Planning Committee of Pudong New Area as a planning fund. 1998 donated 300,000 yuan to the 9th International Science and Peace Week. With this donation, Zhou Xiaodi won the special prize and contribution prize for international science and peace.

In March, 20001,Zhou Xiaodi opened Shanghai Technology and Business University, the first full-time private university invested by local private entrepreneurs. There are different versions of investment in schools. In Zhou Xiaodi's account, the investment increased from 350 million at the beginning to 480 million later, and then to 530 million.

Before Zhou Xiaodi, no Shanghai individual set foot in the field of private colleges and universities. It is conceivable that Zhou Xiaodi can share the cake of educational resources so smoothly, and the connections and operation means behind it.

Anyway, Zhou Xiaodi has made great achievements in running schools. The school was built and opened that year, with complete facilities and first-class facilities. The leaders of teaching disciplines were all introduced from overseas. So far, the total construction area of the school has reached 6.5438+0.6 million square meters, with more than 6,000 students. In 2003, universities in six provinces and one city in East China held an English competition, and Shanghai Institute of Business and Foreign Languages won the first place. Later, Zhou Xiaodi often verbally hanged this achievement.

In the fourth school year, the school began to make a profit. Zhou Xiaodi said that in his fourth and fifth fiscal years, he earned 20 million yuan and 30 million yuan respectively.

During the school year, at the beginning of 200 1, in 2002, Zhou Xiaodi established Pudong Branch in cooperation with Shanghai First Maternal and Infant Health Hospital and Shanghai E.N.T. Hospital. These two luxuriously decorated branches are located side by side in Hua Yao Road, Pudong, and these two hospitals are actually transformed from the original "New Century International Club".

Zhou Xiaodi changed from a nightclub owner to a school legal person and a professional hospital investor.

In the short period of 10 years since the establishment of the New Century Venture Group, Zhou Xiaodi has rapidly entered the monopoly resources of the two major governments of medical care and education at an alarming rate, and its operational capacity is amazing.

When the business operation was smooth, Zhou Xiaodi, who tasted the sweetness, spared no effort to appear in various charity and public welfare activities, and the exposure rate was getting higher and higher.
