The ups and downs of Wang Jianlin, the former richest man in Asia.

From 65438 to 0986, the wave of reform and opening up in China surged into the eighth year. The slogan "Economic construction is the overall situation" roared, the planned economy changed, and the free market surged. ...

This year, 32-year-old Wang Jianlin retired from the army as a deputy regiment-level cadre and began to serve as the director of the Xigang District People's Government Office in Dalian.

After entering the political system, Wang Jianlin followed the fine tradition of joining the army and soon showed his talents. He goes to work on time every day to ensure the quality and quantity of his work, which is extremely efficient. Sometimes he even works overtime on weekends, which is often appreciated by colleagues and leaders.

In his spare time, Wang Jianlin makes ends meet, contacts many high-level social figures and deals with more complicated interpersonal relationships.

1988, 34-year-old Wang Jianlin and his wife Lin Ning ushered in the crystallization of love and were named Wang Sicong.

Lao Wang, who wanted to turn his son into a dragon at that time, never imagined that many years later, his son had a strong interest in "entertainment circle" and "women"

After Sicong was born, Wang Jianlin, who had eaten official food for two years, was lucky and got the opportunity to work in the provincial party Committee, which was a double happiness.

However, he is obsessed with giving up promotion. Later, Wang Jianlin, who had already become famous, recalled: Even if you mix a district head and a deputy mayor, it doesn't make sense.

So, Wang Jianlin, who wanted to be interesting, made an incredible decision to go into business with the tide.

It was also at this time that Wang Jianlin's life trajectory was completely changed.

However, Wang Jianlin, who just entered the business world, did not know that the sea is more unpredictable and turbulent than land, and may be swallowed up by huge waves at any time.

In the same year, the newly established Dalian Xigang District Residential Development Company was investigated due to economic problems, and it owed 6,543,800 yuan+0,490 yuan, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

In order to get rid of this mess, the leaders of Xigang District government stated: whoever has the ability to take over this company and repay the loan, this company will be given to whom.

As a result, there are no brave people in the whole area. Wang Jianlin, who believes in "murder for money", saw it and followed the trend.

At this time, the development company is in a precarious situation, with only more than 20 employees working in a dangerous building in the guest house. Below the office is the boiler room, which is often littered with coal ash. When I come home from work every day, my nostrils are black and the environment is extremely bad.

1989, 35-year-old Wang Jianlin took office and came to the company as general manager. Wearing a military coat, he immediately issued a death order:

As a group, I have decided that if you don't do this, you will be fined. The basic requirement of work is prohibition.

At the end of the same year, under the militarized management of Wang Jianlin, the company miraculously turned losses into profits. Xigang District Government rewarded Wang Jianlin with RMB 6.5438+0.5 million and handed it over to employees.

Wang Jianlin, who won the first battle, began to exert his fists in Dalian real estate industry.

Soon, Wang Jianlin, who mediated in the political and business circles, won the renovation project of Beijing Street shed reform area in Dalian with his personal resources.

This is the first demolition in Dalian, and the renovation cost is very high. 1 m2 1.200 yuan. So you have to sell more than 1500 yuan per square meter to earn money.

But at that time, the best house in Dalian was only 1000 yuan a square meter, and no developer dared to contract, which was a hot potato.

In addition, due to policy restrictions, the company can't get the quota issued by the State Science and Technology Commission. Wang Jianlin, who got the project, seems to be entangled, but he is determined to do it.

In the end, Wang Jianlin took a slant and seconded the company's indicators of old comrades before implementation.

By the end of the project, 800 new houses were completed and sold out in 1 month.

Wang Jianlin's desperate operation made him earn 10 million, and at the same time shocked the traditional real estate industry.

Since then, Wang Jianlin, who became famous in World War I, has a great influence in Dalian. Everyone knows that the development company at his helm has also been promoted to a gold medal enterprise.

However, the residential development company is a company directly under the government. Wang Jianlin, who looks beautiful, not only has no real power, but also is often upset by some minor institutional problems and almost resigns.

Finally, for the sake of Sicong milk powder, I just tasted the courage. ...

When Wang Jianlin became a "multi-millionaire", Ma Yun taught in Hangzhou, Dong Mingzhu worked as a salesman in Zhuhai Lihai Air Conditioning Factory, and in Xu Jiayin, Henan, he went to the dance factory to immerse himself in smelting iron.

199 1 The State Commission for Economic Restructuring is going to select three enterprises in Dalian as the first batch of joint-stock pilot units in Northeast China.

Wang Jianlin, who had been dormant for two years, felt that he had the opportunity and went to apply for it.

A year later, the state-owned shares withdrew from Xigang Residential Development Company, and Wang Jianlin renamed it Dalian Wanda Group, completely turning over.

After that, Wang Jianlin took over the government renovation project. A few years later, Wanda became the leader of Dalian's real estate industry.

1994, when 6-year-old Wang Sicong was a primary school student in Singapore, Wang Jianlin took a leave of absence and was invited by Dalian Sports Commission to set up Dalian Wanda Football Club.

During his reign, Wanda won the league championship four times in a row, unbeaten in 55 games, and was called the overlord of football. Wang Jianlin is very pleased.

As for why the hormone production of Wanda players is so fierce, there are rumors that it is Boss Wang with deep pockets, who often takes several boxes of cash to the stadium when watching the game and directly gives money to motivate the players.

When Wang Jianlin was spending money crazily, the steadily developing company was in trouble.

The company has two old employees who started their business with Wang Jianlin. One has cancer and the other has cirrhosis. As a private enterprise, Wanda employees have no social security, so loyal Wang Jianlin took out 2 million yuan to bear all medical expenses.

Wang Jianlin didn't feel bad about spending this money, but he also began to understand that it is fragrant to rely on the government to eat, but the funds are too slow to return. If enterprises and employees want to live well, they must have stable long-term cash flow.

Soon, Wang Jianlin's mind turned fast and thought of a wonderful idea: building a house and collecting rent.

At that time, Wang Jianlin didn't know that this idea would change the direction and development of the whole real estate industry in China in the future.

04

Time is up 1998. Affected by the financial crisis, in order to stimulate domestic demand, the state canceled the welfare housing allocation policy and explicitly prohibited units from raising funds to build houses. The era of housing commercialization officially opened.

At this time, Wanda Group, due to the comprehensive rectification of the financial industry, was deeply mired in loan difficulties. Wang Jianlin ran dozens of banks, and no one dared to lend it to him. He was anxious for days and nights.

Soon, however, the keen Wang Jianlin realized that great changes would take place when real estate swept through Canyun.

As a result, Wang Jianlin remembered the idea many years ago and decided to change the company's business strategy and enter commercial real estate.

Although commercial real estate is also building a house, it is a completely different concept from residence. Wang Jianlin knows that deus ex can only be built by introducing high-level professionals.

In 2000, Shenzhen held a housing fair, hoping Wanda would give financial support. The housing fair thousands of miles away has no help and effect on Wanda's business.

However, Wang Jianlin, with a broad mind, participated decisively in order to introduce talents and build a brand. He not only sponsored heavily, but also rented an exhibition hall of more than 300 square meters, which made the organizers stunned.

After the opening of the exhibition, Wang Jianlin brought eight carefully selected female models from Dalian, dressed in stewardess uniforms, and queued up from the hotel to the exhibition hall every day, causing great sensation.

Afterwards, Wang Jianlin said: We don't show the house, but only show the image of our Wanda Group.

It was not until the last day of the exhibition that the cunning Wang Jianlin revealed the fox's tail and personally went into battle to hold a special job fair. Finally, he brought his 200 elite talents back to Dalian from Shenzhen.

Wanda, which has both resources and talents, began to implement transformation.

As a result, Wanda's development is still poor after experiencing the hardships of "commercial real estate" and "order real estate".

In three years, Wanda played 222 lawsuits. During that time, Wang Jianlin went to the company every day, doing nothing and dealing with lawsuits ... his reputation was declining.

At first glance, Wang Jianlin was exhausted and hesitant, and finally decided to take a big risk.

05

In 2002, 48-year-old Wang Jianlin put forward the concept of urban complex, that is, a "city within a city" with five core functions: commercial retail, business office, hotel catering, apartments and comprehensive entertainment.

Controversy, many elders in the group quarreled fiercely with Wang Jianlin at the board meeting, thinking that there is no room for commercial real estate, which is simply asking for trouble.

But Wang Jianlin pushed his way through the crowd and stuck to his ideas.

Soon, Wang Jianlin was able to win over two international giants, Wal-Mart and Red Star Macalline, and form a strategic partnership. With the help of international enterprises, Wanda followed suit, opened shopping malls and cinemas, and entered the tourism and cultural and creative industries. ...

The bold Wang Jianlin won the bet again. ...

Wanda plaza, an urban complex owned by Wanda, has mushroomed all over the country.

Wanda Group has made a geometric leap. On the train of China's rapid economic development, Wang Jianlin once again seized the opportunity.

In 2006, Wanda Group set up its own hotel management company, and equipped five-star hotels in wanda plaza of every city.

In 2007, Wanda's retail enterprise Wanqian Department Store was formally established, becoming the first commercial real estate company in China to set foot in this industry.

After that, many housing enterprises couldn't bear it, and they followed Wanda's example and built a comprehensive commercial plaza. Wang Jianlin started the era and continued to lead.

In 20 13, Wang Jianlin was listed on Forbes China Rich List with a net worth of 86 billion yuan.

In 20 14, Wanda was successfully listed in Hong Kong.

The time is up to 20 17. At this time, Wang Jianlin owned more than 200 wanda plaza, 1 00000 Dacheng, 80 five-star hotels, 1300 universal cinemas, 2 American film companies,1British yacht companies, countless famous paintings and antiques ... It can be said that he was rich.

This year, 63-year-old Wang Jianlin surpassed Li Ka-shing to become the "richest man in Asia" with a net worth of $365,438+$300 million.

It was also in this year that a capital mine that had accumulated for several years quietly broke out. ...

06

It was 20 12 years, the golden age of Wanda's development. Wang Jianlin was ambitious, acquired AMC, the second largest cinema group in the world, and began to expand overseas capital.

On the issue of overseas expansion, Wang Jianlin believes that domestic enterprises are too timid to go abroad.

He held his head high and said, Nothing is bolder than Tsinghua Peking University.

From then on, Wang Jianlin, who was satisfied with his ambition, led Wanda to take the lead in "globalization" transformation and opened the "Buy in buy" model.

Acquisition of Nordic Cinema Group, acquisition of British yacht company, construction of five-star hotel in London, acquisition of Spanish landmark buildings, acquisition of World Iron Man Company. ...

On 20 16, the invincible Wang Jianlin sang "Fake Monk" at the company's annual meeting: I want people to see me, but I don't know who I am.

Singers and songs reveal their ambitions inside and outside.

During that time, Wang Jianlin's mantra was to export China culture to the world. Even in public, he said brazenly: Wanda's industry, whether state-owned or central enterprises, has no chance to be the boss.

However, words will be lost. In 20 17, due to Wanda's continuous loan to banks and overseas investment, Wanda's domestic debt ratio turned red.

The bank decided to tighten the rope to recover the loan, but Wanda, which is heavily in debt, has put the borrowed money into the market, and the capital chain is broken, making it difficult to repay the debt.

Finally, as a last resort, Wang Jianlin began to change hands with tears, selling130 Wanda City, more than 70 hotels, 37 Wanda Department Stores, and dozens of wanda plaza and Changbai Mountain resorts to the public.

At this time, Wanda changed from "buying while buying" to "selling while selling" mode.

By 20 18, Wanda's debt had accumulated to 420.5 billion yuan, and Wang Jianlin, who was in prison, had to tighten his trouser pockets and shout again.

The history book says: A strong man broke his arm.

At the beginning of 2020, the epidemic broke out, and the surplus grain in Wang Jianlin's pocket and the Wanda offline cinema were closed for several months. There have been several rumors that Wanda is going bankrupt.

This year, Wang Jianlin did not think about tea and rice, and quickly lost weight, as if he had returned to before liberation overnight.

Fortunately, the epidemic situation was well controlled, and the movie crowd of Wanda Cinema Line 202 1 Spring Festival broke out, making a lot of profits. Coupled with the previous brokeback sale, the final debt fell below the red line of 200 billion.

After that, there were few stories about Wang Jianlin's wind and rain, and even his son Wang Sicong was restrained. Regardless of the past, he honestly fell in love with online celebrities.

The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit.

Doing business is like playing chess. Capital is a chessboard, and everyone who is caught is a chess piece. When you play chess, you should pay attention to the layout and move step by step, otherwise sometimes, if you make a wrong move, the whole game will be lost.

It is only foreseeable that no matter whether you win or lose, no matter how the chess game changes, no matter how unpredictable the steps are, no matter how the chess pieces land, these will become footnotes after the roar of the times.
