Three stories about the success of wealthy entrepreneurs

No rich man in the world is smooth sailing, and he has always been rich without experiencing setbacks. The following is the story I compiled for you about the success of wealthy entrepreneurs. Welcome to read!

Success stories of wealthy entrepreneurs 1:

Among the billionaires in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Henry Fok's popularity is the highest. This is not only because his personal assets are about 65.438+03 billion Hong Kong dollars, but also because he was elected as the vice chairman of the CPPCC in 654.38+0993! However, Henry Fok's background may be the most bitter among billionaires!

Henry Fok's ancestral home is Panyu, Guangdong, but since his grandfather, the whole family has left the land and lived on the sampan for many years. What is this called? Seesaw? Even derogatory? Water firewood? ,? Family boy? .

1923, Henry fok was born on such a sampan. His first name was Huo Zhaohao, and later he changed his name to Huo Guantai. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the youthful man changed his name to Yingdong, meaning? Heroic and vigorous in the east of the world? !

Fok Ying-tung's parents rely on a small barge to do lighterage business in Hong Kong, that is, from a large freighter that can't dock, they unload the goods on their own barge and transport them to the shore dock. When Henry Fok was seven years old, his father was drowned in a typhoon because of capsizing.

Unexpectedly, after more than 50 days, the Huo family's boat capsized in the sea again, and the two brothers were buried in the belly of the fish, and even the bodies were not fished out! Mother grabbed a plank desperately, but was saved by a passing fishing boat. At that time, Henry Fok escaped the disaster because he was not on the boat looking for wild oysters by the sea.

Henry fok found his first job as a coal miner on an old ferry. However, his body is too thin to shovel coal and open the oven door. He was fired as soon as he took office. In those years, Henry fok just like the saying goes. Does the unlucky person have a toothache when drinking water? . However, the hardships and setbacks in the early years did not defeat Fok Ying-tung. He gained experience through repeated failures, accumulated strength and waited for opportunities. He firmly believes that he will rise one day!

Make the first big money

After World War II, Henry Fok finally seized an opportunity to make a fortune with keen eyes. After the Japanese invaders surrendered, they left a lot of machinery and equipment, which were very cheap, but they could be used with a little repair and sold at a good price. Henry fok wanted to do this kind of business, so he became a newspaper fan. He paid special attention to the news of the auction of Japanese surplus materials in the newspaper, rushed to the scene in time, picked out those valuable ones with industry eyes, bought them in large quantities, and quickly repaired them and sold them. For lack of funds, it is difficult for him to go all out. On one occasion, he took a fancy to a batch of machines and won the bid with HK$ 65,438+800,000. A factory owner also took a fancy to the goods and was willing to pay HK$ 40,000 to buy them from him. Fok Ying-tung earned a net profit of HK$ 22,000, which was the biggest sum of money he earned in those years and also accumulated initial capital for him.

Hong kong? Landlord?

After the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Henry Fok predicted that the prosperity of Hong Kong's shipping industry would inevitably lead to the development of finance and trade, and then promote the development of commerce and residence. So he first shifted his business focus to real estate development. 1954 65438+In February, Henry Fok took out his own10.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and borrowed10.6 million Hong Kong dollars from the bank, bought his first building in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, and founded? Lixin Construction Real Estate Co., Ltd.? . At first, like others, he bought an old building with his own money. After tearing it down, he built a new building and sold it layer by layer. Of course, this can make money safely, but because of insufficient funds, the development is relatively slow. An accidental event inspired Henry Fok, who decided to build a new house by pre-selling the property and using the deposit of prospective buyers! This pioneering work, let Henry fok's real estate fire up at once, broke the record of Hong Kong real estate developers in one fell swoop. When other builders learned to implement this method, Henry Fok had made a lot of money. He became the chairman of the Hong Kong Real Estate Developers Association, which has 300 members and owns 70% of the construction business in Hong Kong. So some people call Henry Fok Hong Kong? Landlord? !

? Hai Sand King?

Henry fok also has a good name? Hai Sand King? It also comes from his innovation in business. In the 1960s, Hong Kong businessmen rarely entered the sand washing industry, because it required a lot of labor, large investment and relatively little profit. However, Fok Ying-tung foresaw that the sand washing industry would also develop greatly from the broad prospects of the construction industry, so he boldly ate this one? Crab? . 196 1 At the end of the year, he imported a large dredger from Thailand and named it? Rongrong No.4? . After Hong Kong's economic take-off, high-rise buildings have mushroomed, and there is a great demand for yellow sand as a building material. So, Henry fok's sand fleet became another plant of his? Cash cow? .

Wealth never forgets to give back to society.

After the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, China athletes who won the gold medal visited Hongkong. Fok Ying-tung rewarded visiting gold medalists with a total of about HK$ 28 million.

1992 Since the 25th Olympic Games? Fok Ying Tung Sports Fund? Began to allocate funds to reward mainland Olympic athletes and China and Hongkong athletes who won medals in the Olympic Games. The player who won the gold medal won a pure gold medal weighing one kilogram and a prize of 80 thousand dollars; The runner-up won a gold medal weighing half a kilogram and a prize of $40,000, and the third runner-up won a gold medal weighing 0.25 kilogram and a prize of $20,000.

I remember Mr. Huo once explained that donating sports is not only because I like sports, but because sports itself plays an important role in national progress and national prosperity. ? He calculated an account for me with his finger: the state allocates more than 40 billion yuan to education every year, and only one billion yuan to sports. Of course, compared with the population of 1 1 billion, it is far from enough to say that education funds are enough, but among overseas Chinese, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, there are many more people who donate money to promote education than to help sports. So I am particularly willing to make a small contribution to sports. ? Over the years, one-fifth of Henry Fok's huge sum donated to China people has been directly donated to sports.

The story of the successful entrepreneurship of the rich 2:

Spend money where you can make money.

Many people know? Moonlight clan? It is impossible to get rich. Laura, author of Millionaire Maker? Langemeyer said:? The quickest way out of this vicious circle is to earn more money and invest. ? Can you set aside some money for investment? Money roll? This place.

There are many ways to make more money and invest. You can accumulate more capital if you like. Langemeyer said:? Everyone has some skills that others can use. ? The money earned from part-time jobs can be piled up into a tower.

25 years ago, Rick? Skorsky has always been eager to have his own personal fitness trainer career in the United States. ? I rented a small studio and charged students $65,438 +05 per hour. ? He saved every penny he earned and invested it in his career. This 40-square-meter studio has been expanded to franchise chain group Fitness Together, with more than 360 branches around the world.

When you have extra income, you may want to change a TV set. But if you want to be rich, you should spend your money where you can make money, such as investment funds, business or real estate.

Business expertise is the most important.

Dai Zhangji, Chairman of Taipei Hotel Group, opened six fashionable and affordable hotels around Taipei Railway Station within four years. In the economic downturn, the occupancy rate is still over 90%. He said:? If a person doesn't know his own expertise and interests, he can't give full play to his potential. ? He spent a lot of time getting to know himself, and now his achievements are attributed to: he never gave up looking for his own career.

Dai Zhangji didn't like studying since he was a student, and he liked making friends. He is very business-minded. He sold electronic calculators at school. ? I know I'm a natural business expert, so I went to interview with HSBC Auto as soon as I graduated, and worked as a salesman. ?

At a young age, Dai Zhangji became the regional sales manager of HSBC, learned a business skill and accumulated the first bucket of gold in his life. However, he found that the salesman could not do it for long. He had two car accidents because he rode around and visited customers every day. ? At that moment, when I was lying in the hospital bed, I knew that I should save the money I earned and find a job that didn't have to work so hard, or I would die under the wheel sooner or later. ?

Introduced by a friend, he boldly tried various investments, and successively invested in seafood restaurants, car rentals and flower shops, with little effect until he invested in the hotel industry. He found that the cash income of this line was very stable. Although he was not familiar with the investment process at first, he was still willing to try it, just to test it? Water temperature? Once you find something wrong, you will withdraw your funds and never continue to fight.

Dai Zhangji has no parental protection, so although he has a positive attitude, he is very cautious and always has a strong sense of crisis. He can always find someone smarter than himself to invest with. He said:? I've been looking for someone better than me to cooperate with. ? In the era of rapid development of real estate in Taiwan Province Province, he invested in real estate in partnership with friends and accumulated considerable wealth.

At the peak of his career, Dai Zhangji found himself with abnormal liver function and was on the verge of death. He had to retire and travel around the world with a pair of children. During the trip, he stayed in many budget hotels, and deeply felt that what Taiwan Province Province needed most was cheap hotels.

In 2004, after recovering from his illness, he returned to Taiwan Province Province and took the lead in launching a cheap hotel in Taiwan Province Province, which combined cultural creativity and fashion. The average price per night ranges from NT$ 1200 yuan to NT$ 3,000. At present, it has four brands, namely Xi Rui, Xinyi, Xinshang and Dandi, and has 6 hotels, which have achieved remarkable results in a short time. Dai Zhangji said that he finally found his own career: God won't let me die just to make many people happy; My goal is to make all travelers lighten their burdens and have fun. ?

The biggest obstacle to the pursuit of wealth: cowardice

Twenty years ago, Jeff? Harris didn't know that he would become a rich man. He dropped out of college and worked hard to support his wife and three children. In addition to working as a clerk in the grocery store, he also went to the scrap station with prisoners to melt scrap metal. ? When we were poorest, we couldn't afford to go to the laundromat, so we had to wash clothes in the bathtub. ? Harris is 49 years old and lives in York, South Carolina, USA. He is an investment consultant with a net worth of over 100 million.

Harris can earn more money than others because of a very important factor: he always believes that he will make a fortune one day. In the United States, 80% of the richest people with a wealth of more than $5 million are middle and lower classes like Harris. Longing for wealth is the key first step to getting rich. Harvard, the author of the American best-selling book "The rich are not what you think"? Ike said that the biggest obstacle to the pursuit of wealth is cowardice. Many people dare not aim high, but if they set their goals low, their achievements will be limited. ?

Harris met a stockbroker at a Christmas party, which was a turning point in his life. He said:? Listening to him is like discovering a new continent. After work, I began to read investment books and bought funds for $25 a month. ? After that, he taught investment in the community, and students became his first clients, which laid the foundation for his investment career. ? There are many twists and turns in this process, but I can overcome them one by one because I firmly believe that I will succeed. ?

Make up for the deficiency through learning

Steve. After graduating from Maxwell University, he was engaged in high-tech industry and knew nothing about financial management. He is 45 years old and lives in Windsor, Colorado, USA. He has three children. He said:? I took a course in financial management in college, but I skipped class and went skiing. As a result, I had to go to the bank and ask the bank staff to teach me how to check the bank statement. ?

Another obstacle to the pursuit of wealth is ignorance. Many people stay away from investment because they don't understand. But to make money, you must know how to manage money. Maxwell said. I read a lot of books and periodicals about financial management and investment, and I also asked every financial expert I know for advice. ?

Then he and his wife use what they have learned to live within their means. They never shop on impulse; When you buy something, whether it is a car or furniture, you must bargain; Although I can change to a bigger house long ago, I have been sitting tight and investing 20% of my total income. He became a multi-millionaire in less than 10 years. ? If someone asks me a question and I don't know the answer, I will study it and learn from it. ?

In 2003, Maxwell quit his job and became a partner in a company, teaching personal finance to employees of enterprises (including Wal-Mart). He also began to attend lectures on real estate investment, which benefited a lot. The total value of invested real estate is about $30 million.

? I used to be an engineer, but I never thought there would be today. A small study brought all this. Once we master the basic skills, our potential can be brought into full play. ?

Start with running an industry

Hong Kong experienced two waves of financial crisis in just 12 years, but Bai still succeeded in starting a business. Did he start it? Yan Jia? The business of bird's nest store covers Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. He thinks:? Businessmen should have the perseverance of not being afraid of hardship like swallows, and strive to make it to the last moment. ?

Bai is 45 years old. 1988 After studying business administration in Canada, I returned to Hong Kong and devoted myself to the real estate industry. 1997, he had the idea of starting a business, hoping to earn his first bucket of gold in the real estate industry.

At that time, influenced by the optimism of returning to China, Hong Kong was prosperous. Bai's company's initial opening 1997. At the end of the year, the Asian financial turmoil struck. In order to survive, he launched his own brand clothing and started an online shopping business. Unfortunately, the result is not satisfactory.

Bai said that although Hong Kong was affected by the Asian financial turmoil and all walks of life shrank, he found that some shops selling dried bird's nest and ready-to-eat bird's nest were crowded, and several even expanded against the trend. After his research, he was introduced into the business through a friend who is engaged in bird's nest wholesale. In 2000, they established a joint venture? Yan Jia? Bird's nest shop.

? I focus on retail, partners like to do wholesale, and my ideas are different. Two years later? Yan Jia? I am a sole proprietor. So far, there are 30 branches and retail stores in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. ? He admits that it is more laborious and harder to operate retail than wholesale.

? I have been buying and selling stocks and real estate in recent years, but I always feel that I can make a fortune by running an industry because I have a stable income. Many successful businessmen started from industry. ?

In addition to selling ready-to-eat bird's nest and dried bird's nest, Bai continues to be creative and launch a variety of bird's nest by-products, such as drinks, desserts and stewed soup. I hope that the bird's nest products will be life-oriented, popular and young.

Bai said that entrepreneurs must dare to take risks and take risks.

This is his experience.

The story of the success of the rich entrepreneurial 3:

The entrepreneurial story of Hu Gang, president of New World Group, who became a billionaire from scratch twice.

A hero is known in the time of misfortune. Hu Gang, president of Fujian New World Group, is just 42 years old. He is already the owner of a private technology enterprise with total assets of more than one billion yuan. The group owns 12 holding companies, including a listed company, namely Fujian New World Computer Co., Ltd., whose industries span three major fields: electronic information, biopharmaceuticals and environmental protection. Who would have thought that he started from scratch twice in his business career of more than ten years.

Hu Gang is a typical Fujian native, with a smart mind, practical work and hard work. From 65438 to 0975, after graduating from high school, he went to the countryside like his peers around him. However, this did not affect his thirst for knowledge. So after resuming the college entrance examination, he was admitted to the automation major of Fuzhou University.

After graduation, Hu Gang worked in Fujian Computer Research Institute for six or seven years. During this period, I was mainly engaged in research work, and soon I had my own achievements. At that time, the Ministry of Electronics also listed him as the training object of academic leaders, which gave him the opportunity to participate in the formulation of some policies and programs in the domestic IT industry.

His important achievement was the development of the first Hanka in China, which solved the problem that English software directly processed Chinese information without modification, and it was a sensation at that time. 18 months later, Lenovo specially invited him to look at their Hanka research results and ask for his advice, which shows that it was very advanced at that time.

However, Hu Gang's unit failed to give full play to its role, failed to improve in time, and instead wrangled with each other. In the end, this achievement only sold more than 1000 sets and made a profit of 23 million. The boss felt very good.

Germinated his own entrepreneurial ideas.

This system makes Hu Gang feel uncomfortable, because it can't produce good benefits. He believes that in this sense, this product is a failure. The important thing for a technician's invention is not what prize he won, but whether he can be accepted by the society and how much market share he can have. Disappointed with this system, Hu Gang sprouted his own idea of starting a business.

1988, Hu Gang led 15 researchers to establish Fujian shida computer co., ltd with a capital of 250,000 yuan. Talking about it now, Hu Gang said that his idea at that time was actually very simple: to start his own company and realize the transformation of scientific research results as soon as possible. He was less than 30 years old at that time. Seeing that most of the products on the market are foreign, he wants to make some China people's own brands through his own efforts. He said with a smile that it was this primitive patriotism and this unconvinced mentality that made him break away from the state-owned system and jump into the business sea of market economy.

1992, Shida became one of the top 100 electronics companies in China and the largest computer terminal in China with a business scale of over 100 million, but the problem came again. Because Shida is a state-owned and employee-owned enterprise. The enterprise made money, director? Grandma? I have something to say, but I don't know much about business, so people are distracted.

At first, Hu Gang also hoped to transform into Shida, and wanted to increase the shares of employees and new backbones, and reduce state-owned holdings, but after one year, he found it difficult to do so. It's better to start over than to toss about like this. He fired himself.

There are many discussions in the industry about why Hu Gang left Shida, and he himself has heard thirty or forty versions. In fact, he admits that there are many reasons, but the most important thing is that he gradually realizes that high-tech enterprises can only have permanent vitality if they have corresponding private mechanisms. Moreover, he believes that private technology enterprises will develop greatly one day, and whoever is ready first will seize the opportunity.

Rebuild all private enterprises

So, at the beginning of 1994, Hu Gang gave up his interests in Shida and started a new private continent again empty-handed. People around him don't understand why he bravely retired after such a brilliant career and borrowed money to start a small company.

Looking back now, Hu Gang didn't regret his original choice at all. Perhaps, it is an old saying that gold always shines. Facts have proved that in just seven years, New World has developed from a small company with several million yuan to a high-tech enterprise group with total assets of more than one billion yuan. At present, New World Group has 12 holding companies, among which Fujian New World Computer Co., Ltd., a listed company, spans three major fields: electronic information, biopharmaceuticals and environmental protection.

Hu Gang said that New World mainly has two businesses in the field of electronic information. First, terminal application products, including financial POS, terminals, two-dimensional code technology and equipment, highway monitoring system, electronic tax control equipment, etc. The other is system software products and services, including mobile communication support network, financial and electronic core business and other system software, and has begun to intervene in the field of network software and services
