I first met Qu in the mid-1980s. At that time, as a model correspondent of Yuncheng Daily, I met Qu, then director of Yuncheng Grain Bureau Office and manager of Yellow River Building, by chance. Although Qu is a little paunchy, he is still popular, agile, eloquent and enthusiastic. Full of the unique charm and aura of Wanrong people. Later, I heard that he went to Beijing and opened the Kyoto Hotel. We never met again. It was not until that year that Wanrong held the first Houtu Culture Festival that I was lucky enough to take a group photo with Qu, who had returned home from Beijing. Since then, I have never seen Mr. Qu. However, in the past few decades, his reputation has been great. In Yuncheng, women and children are well known, in Taiyuan, the reputation of Sanjin, and in Beijing, it is equally loud.

Qu is full of graceful spirit and graceful stories. With the indomitable spirit of Wanrong, this farmer, who came out of a remote village near the Yellow River in Wanrong County, Shanxi Province, successfully completed the role transformation among "farmer", "worker", "entrepreneur" and "cultural celebrity", created amazing brilliant achievements and interpreted touching life legends.

Some people say that he is a "pioneer", "Yellow River Kyoto" and a hotel are his best footnotes; Some people say that he is a "preacher", "Yellow River Noodles Dao" and diners who love Shanxi pasta are the best interpretations; Some people say that he is a "trekker", who never gives up, makes the Yellow River Kyoto a national brand, and loves the Yellow River cause for 30 years has become his unchangeable creed in life. From farmers, workers, cadres to businessmen, no matter how his role changes, he always sticks to his faith, perseveres and triumphs all the way, winning countless flowers and applause. Exactly: agriculture, industry, government, learning and business pursue Excellence and serve the Yellow River industry.

? Be the champion.

As the saying goes, "each goes his own way", but in Qu's dictionary, he changed this sentence with his own practical actions and called it "each goes his own way". In the long years of life, he always does a line, loves a line and does a good job.

In the early 1960s, during the most difficult period in this country, factories were demolished and schools were closed. The county only recruited two high school classes. After graduating from junior high school, I was admitted to Wanrong High School. Because my family was poor and I couldn't afford to go to school, I went back to the village to farm. In the production team, 19 years old, he volunteered to be a breeder. Experienced old farmers will not look up to him when they see him young; But he just has a "bull". Learn from books if you don't understand. Through hard study and practical exploration, he gradually mastered a set of techniques for raising and breeding yellow cattle, and even some cows that members of the production team thought impossible were born under his careful care. Daniel is fat and strong, ranking first in the commune. In the face of the facts, everyone was convinced and praised again and again.

At the age of 20, Qu was elected as the production captain. During this period, he dared to be the first person, took the lead in breaking the "three-and-a-half-point" pot-and-rice model, introduced the competition mechanism of doing more and getting more, and put the responsibility on people, so that everything in the production team was at the forefront of the village, and was rated as "an activist for building socialism for educated youth returning home" by the Wanrong County Party Committee and the county people's government.

1966, by chance, Qu walked out of the countryside, first working as a bricklayer in Linfen Construction Company, and then as a stevedore and captain in Yuncheng Grain Transfer Station. In the grain transfer station, Qu took the lead in setting an example: others can carry 200 Jin, and he can carry 400 Jin. As a captain, he always takes the lead everywhere, suffering before pleasure. He loved writing since he was a child, and took the initiative to publish blackboard newspapers and run columns in his spare time, becoming the "pen" in the loading and unloading team. Because of his outstanding performance, he received the attention of the leaders and was transferred from the loading and unloading team to become a cadre rather than a worker. He worked as a culture teacher and trained a large number of new workers who just came back from the countryside to take over his father's class. Engaged in the propaganda work of the whole station; Also responsible for "comprehensive utilization" (brewing, raising pigs, etc. ) the small processing factory on the station.

1983 was transferred to the office of Yuncheng Grain Bureau because of his excellent work performance, and was soon promoted to director. During this period, he always served as the director to go to the countryside for investigation, wrote many "food investigation reports" on farmers' wheat planting, contract ordering and hard storage of public grain, and put forward suggestions. It has attracted the attention of superior leaders and caused repercussions in the province's grain system. In addition, Yuncheng's grain work has always been an advanced unit in the province, and his reputation as a "penholder" has also spread throughout the province.

"Good steel" is used on "blade"

? Qu worked in Yuncheng Grain Bureau, which happened to be preparing to build Yuncheng Yellow River Building. Due to various reasons, the progress of the project is slow. Worried, Qu volunteered, resigned as the office director of the Grain Bureau, gave up his comfortable office work and came to a half-baked construction site full of smelly water. After 1 month investigation and analysis, we found out the foundation, thoroughly understood the situation, summarized the problems, reported them to the director's office, issued a military order, and opened for half a year. In view of the shortage of funds, the construction of supporting facilities, water, heating, electricity and other issues, he formulated specific time and solutions. The director's office adopted his plan. In the past six months, he ate and lived on the construction site, slept no more than four hours every day, overcame many unexpected difficulties, solved the funding gap of 4 million yuan, worked overtime day and night to complete the construction of ancillary facilities, and so on.

? Finally, according to the time promised in the "military order", the Yellow River Building, a landmark building with 13 floors in Yuncheng at that time, was completed and opened as scheduled.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to start a business, and it is even harder to keep it. After the opening of the Yellow River Tower, Qu opened his arms and boldly operated, which quickly attracted the attention of the provincial and national tourism departments. A year later, it was rated as one of the first four two-star hotels in the province. I was also rated as a model worker in the national tourism system.

At this time, the pace of national reform has accelerated. Facing the reform and opening up, Yuncheng municipal government plans to design a liaison office in Beijing. The beautiful battle of the Yellow River Tower made the then director of Yuncheng Grain Bureau and the regional leaders agree that this burden can only be accomplished by Qu.

199 1 year, with the trust of 5 million people in Hedong, Qu provoked the important task of marching into Beijing and built Yuncheng liaison office in Beijing-Beijing Yellow River Hotel. For Qu, who was born in Beijing and has no friends, this is another great challenge. Facing the challenge, Qu once again threw himself into the battle without hesitation.

? It is not easy to create a hotel in a modern international metropolis like Beijing, where land is precious. First of all, the problem of buying a factory. A semiconductor device factory that closed down in an alley has many problems left over from history and unclear property rights. Followed by 9 million yuan plus 7 million yuan decoration price, * * *160,000 yuan. This is an astronomical figure at 9 1. Third, local residents don't understand and stop. In the face of so many difficulties, Qu was not intimidated. With the indomitable spirit of Wanrong people, he tried his best to get through, be good at dancing, find leaders, find fellow villagers, find residents, find banks, be sincere and touching, and overcome all difficulties. Finally, the hotel was successfully completed and opened. Yuncheng people have their own home in Beijing since then.

Unforeseen things happened. The Yellow River Hotel in Beijing has been in business for less than two years, and it is reported that its location will be demolished and rebuilt. Problems don't scare heroes. Beiguan Hutong, which hasn't warmed up yet, will give up. Where is the new address and where is the money? Although two years is very short, it laid the foundation for entrepreneurs. Finally, I found another factory to relocate and reported to the municipal party Committee and municipal government. The government promised to do it, but there was no money. Another military order, and the money was found by Qu. In a year, it finally raised 99 million yuan, and finally opened the Beijing Yellow River Kyoto Hotel in Zhao Xi Sizhong Street 1996.

Subsequently, Xiaolong Hotel in Dashilan and Jinyang Renjia Resort in Huairou were established one after another, forming a collectivized scale of operation.

? "Yellow River Kyoto" takes root everywhere.

With the painstaking efforts of Qu, Beijing Yellow River Kyoto Hotel has become a leader in the local hotel industry, forming a certain brand strength. As I grow older, I want to go back to my hometown in my sixties. So he returned to Shanxi to start a new business, repay his hometown with practical actions and help his hometown's economic development.

After intensive preparation and construction, in 2005, the Yellow River Kyoto Hotel in Shanxi Province, located in Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province, opened as scheduled, and the opening ceremony caused a sensation in Longcheng. On the opening day, Qu expressed his passion: "Sixty flowers are not chaotic, but words are still climbing, serving the hometown, and Pingyang Mingzhu Yaolongcheng", expressing his feelings of loving and returning to his hometown. The column "Fortune Story Club" of CCTV reported Qu's entrepreneurial experience with the title of "Returning to Shaanxi". After inspecting Taiyuan Hotel, a governor praised Qu with emotion as an entrepreneur who "turned decay into magic".

It was his return to his hometown that opened a new door for the development of enterprise groups. With the opening of the Yellow River Kyoto Hotel in Shanxi, the popularity of the highly competitive gold-lettered signboard "Yellow River Kyoto" has increased rapidly. He has served as the president of Taiyuan Tourist Hotel Association and the president of Shanxi Hotel Chamber of Commerce. People seeking to join the company followed. More and more hotels begin to contract, manage and consult. Since 2006, Yuanping, Anze, Jinzhong, Wenxi, Jincheng, Yongji, Daixian, Xinjiang and Yangqu have successively cooperated to open their businesses. The story behind this is sad. He lost his money, but he spared no effort to repay his hometown with a heart dedicated to his hometown.

In 20 12, he returned to Beijing in his seventies and founded the Beijing Tiantongyuan Yellow River Kyoto Conference Center. This garden-style conference center, which covers an area of 100 mu, entered the list of "Top Ten Conference Centers" in Beijing as soon as it opened, and its corporate benefits have been rising steadily. The "Yellow River Kyoto" in Hebei, Ningxia, Hainan and other places has emerged continuously, achieving the enterprise development goals of "going out of Shanxi" and "going out of Beijing".

Rebuild the brand of Shanxi pasta

? Entrepreneurship is endless, and the journey is endless. After becoming the president of the industry, he basically handed over the enterprise to his son Qu Wenyu, and he put more energy into social welfare undertakings. He often said that there is no shortage of money, no shortage of flowers and applause. How to dedicate limited life to society and make life meaningful? His roots are in his hometown, in Shanxi. How to do more useful work for Shanxi is his "next" goal of pursuing progress forever. Song, who spent most of his life in the hotel catering industry, turned his attention to Shanxi pasta this time.

? Shanxi pasta has a long history and a wide variety. As a native of Shaanxi, Qu has an indissoluble bond with him. However, where is the way out for Shanxi pasta? Why can't Shanxi pasta attract attention? These question marks prompted him to calm down and make great efforts to integrate resources and revive his glory.

How to develop Shanxi pasta is easier said than done. Standardization, industrialization, chain, a series of problems in front of us, but someone has to do it, and someone can make Shanxi pasta. In order to revitalize Shanxi's pasta industry, Qu, together with the president of the whole province, made it clear that he would share the benefits and bear the losses alone at the first China Shanxi Pasta Culture Festival. As a result, he lost more than 2 million yuan, all of which was borne by him. China Shanxi Pasta Culture Festival has been held for five consecutive times, and its initial intention has not changed. Won eight Guinness World Records. The holding of Taiyuan, Yuanping and Datong Yongji noodle festivals has a great influence. The national hotel catering industry and the total number of people in the province exceed 2 million. Taiyuan TV Station made a long follow-up report on "One Man's Noodle Festival" and won the National Excellent News Award.

? Qu also made use of the unique geographical advantages of Taiyuan Yellow River and Kyoto to create a brand of "Yellow River Noodles", which made a beneficial attempt and exploration on the standardization and marketization of Shanxi pasta. Inspired by him, more and more people joined the team of "Yellow River against Road".

That's great, right? This is Qu Wanrong's son.
