I like it very much. I made up my mind!

A Xin described the hardships of the founder of Yaohan, a famous Japanese department store chain. She started from the bottom, went through hardships and finally succeeded. It is the thousands of A Xin in Qian Qian that make Japan a world economic power.

The story of this Japanese woman planted the seeds of personal struggle in the hearts of China people. A few years later, the first batch of businessmen were more or less inspired by the "A Xin Spirit".

A Xin is the hero of the Japanese TV series A Xin. This legendary figure, known to women and children in China and even the whole of Asia, is based on his mother Tian. Hotan Jin Jia is the founder of Yaohan. He is the "soul of Yaohan" all his life, and he is as legendary as A Xin. 1994 10, mother "A Xin" died suddenly. But as a legend and a spirit, she will live forever.

Wada Kazuo said.

To serve Hong Kong is to serve China. Serving China means that Yaohan has made more contributions to making China rich. China's prosperity will also benefit the whole world.

My thoughts above are heartfelt and sincere.

End of 1977.

Yaohan, Brazil, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, has a chance with the help of Suruga Bank.

Tian, his fourth son, is preparing to go to Brazil to become the general manager of Yaohan, Brazil.

When I arrived in Brazil, I had to face the difficulties of creditors and rebuilding Yaohan. Just the packaging, the smooth face can not help but show a dignified look.

Suddenly, 70-year-old grandma Tian put a small suitcase next to her luggage and said in an unquestionable tone, "Zheng Guang, grandma will go with you." In my heart, although I hope my respected grandmother will help me, this is not a short trip after all. Brazil has long mountains and long waters, and my grandmother is getting old. If something goes wrong, it will be terrible.

However, no matter how her grandson dissuaded her, grandma just smiled lovingly and insisted on going to Brazil to help her grandson and all the staff.

In desperation, Zheng Guang had to find his father Wada Kazuo.

Wada Kazuo was moved by his mother's behavior, and he could understand her feelings. In this mess, eldest brother still can't hold on, and now he has resigned. Putting everything on Zheng Guang, who is in his twenties, is really a heavy burden!

But considering that my mother is old, I still dare not take risks.

Wada Kazuo urged, "Don't worry, Mom, this is just a person who knows how to clean up the mess. He will rebuild Yaohan, Brazil. "

But my mother turned a deaf ear and didn't seem to hear it. Later, Wada Kazuo had to give in and let her go to Hekou.

Hotan Gazin became the soul of Yaohan in Brazil.

As soon as she arrived in Sao Paulo, Brazil, she said to her grandson, "Although Mr. Okada and many others are doing their best for Yaohan, Brazil, you can't be lazy. You have to work harder than anyone else! "

She herself put these principles into practice at the age of seventy, and played an exemplary role with enthusiastic attitude and active efforts.

At that time, Yaohan was still in trouble and heavily in debt, and was negotiating with 65,438+0,300 creditors to pay off debts.

Hotan Jin Jia braved difficulties and insisted on visiting her creditors in person. -She said:

"This is the spirit of Yaohan! Taking the problem seriously is the most effective way to solve it. "

If it hadn't been for Zheng Guang's resolute dissuasion and grandma's overwork, Hetian Jin Jia, the creditor of 1300, would have run away.

Zheng Guang only promised to let her grandmother help some creditors whose negotiations have not progressed.

There is a saying in China that "ginger is still old and spicy". Hotan Jin Jia is a person who has experienced great storms. Her gentleness and kindness contain magical power.

A big creditor in Yaohan, because Yaohan rented his shop, owed him two months' rent when he was most embarrassed. He was greatly dissatisfied and took back the shop by legal means.

Later, Yaohan took measures to ease the contradiction and paid off the rent he owed, but he refused to rent the shop to Yaohan anyway.

Creditors are stubborn and have a bad attitude, and there is no room for negotiation. All the people sent home disappointed, saying there was nothing to think about.

Hotan Jin Jia calmly said to his grandson, "I will work hard" and went to see him calmly. Add Tianjin to make amends to him first, and said:

"I'm to blame for doing something wrong and making you angry. Please be generous, forgive us and let us continue to rent! "

Seventy-year-old Hotan Gajin sincerely bowed to him and apologized. The creditor was indifferent and ignored what the old lady said.

Hotan Jin Jia was not annoyed and didn't mind. He continued to beg him sincerely, but the creditors didn't respond. Gazin calmly returned to his residence.

The next day, Hotan Jin Jia went to see him as usual, and the situation remained the same, with no progress.

On the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day and the sixth day ... Hotan Jin Jia visited him every day and asked the creditors to withdraw the court complaint with sincere attitude and continue to rent the store to Yaohan.

I have nothing.

On the seventh day, Hotan Jin Jia came again as usual. This time, before she could speak, the creditor who had been calm-faced actually spoke with a smile:

"Old woman, your family is sincere, which makes it difficult for me. Ok, I promise you, continue to cooperate with Yaohan! "

Hotan Gajin leaned gratefully and bowed 90 degrees to each other!

A misunderstanding was cleared up and everyone talked happily as a family again.

Afterwards, the creditor laughed and said that it was the 70-year-old woman's unhurried and unhurried sincerity that influenced him and made him unbearable.

Hotan Jin Jia's firm belief and tenacious spirit, like spring rain, moisten everything and subtly dissolve the feelings of difficulties and anxiety. During the Yaohan crisis, a major siege was lifted for Yaohan.

After reconstruction, Yaohan finally resumed normal operation through hard work, and once again became the largest department store enterprise group in Brazil.

Wada Kazuo once said with emotion: After three years of long-term difficulties, Yaohan, Brazil, with debts exceeding 100 million, finally paid off all its debts. Among them, what I admire most is that when my 70-year-old mother started business in Yaohan, it was my mother who encountered a religious misunderstanding, and it was also my mother who finally solved the misunderstanding satisfactorily. "

Time goes back to September 1974, Singapore.

Before the opening of the first Yaohan in Singapore, the company trained and educated local employees. Tian, Hefu's mother, went to Singapore as usual to give a speech to local employees on behalf of the board of directors.

At that time, Kazuo's father and Tian Liangping passed away a year ago (1973). The work of educators falls to Gazin, the mother, who is even busier.

But Tian never slacked off. Whenever a new store opens, she always goes in person, regardless of her old age and infirmity, to publicize the spirit of Yaohan and educate new employees.

There is no branch of "Home of Growth" in Singapore, so it is not as easy to get local understanding when explaining the spirit of Yaohan as in Brazil.

Most people in Singapore are Chinese, and the rest are Indians, Malays and other nationalities. Singapore is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious country, and its religions include Buddhism, Islam and Christianity.

After learning about the general situation here, Hotan President Jin Jia spoke calmly according to the original plan.

Hotan Jin Jia always starts with "thanking parents". She found that young people in Southeast Asia, like young people in Japan, have no education of "thanking their parents". Her opening remarks always make them open their eyes and hold their breath, which seems very fresh!

The company spirit of "serving customers" mentioned next was the first time they heard it, but they immediately understood it.

Everything went according to the procedure, and there was nothing unusual.

However, one day, Zuo Naming, the director of Yaohan, suddenly said to her mother:

"Today, we can't talk about the' home of growth' and the spirit of Yaohan!"

Hotan President Jin Jia was taken aback and asked why.

Zuo Naming explained that 73 of the employees who received the training were Muslims, and they were unwilling to accept Japanese religious thoughts.

When Hotan Jin Jia heard about it, he immediately asked the Muslim staff to send representatives to communicate.

After meeting with Muslim workers' representatives, Tian cordially asked them to open their hearts and speak their minds.

Delegates are no longer bound. They explained to President Kazin: "We are dissatisfied because Muslims only believe in God and will not accept your Japanese God. If we must believe in your God, then we must resign! "

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Religious belief has always been a sacred and principled issue. In history, it is not uncommon to resort to force for sects and trigger bloody wars.

Hotan Jin Jia's loving and warm personality charm once again shows the magical effect. I saw her gentle smile, which immediately eased the nervous opposition of Muslim representatives like spring breeze people.

Then, she washed away the anxiety of the negotiators with words as smooth as a clear spring.

She said slowly, "I am not a missionary, and Yaohan is not a religious group. However, the ultimate goal of Yaohan's entrepreneurial spirit is to share happiness.

Therefore, we only designate the concept of "home of growth" as the purpose of the enterprise. We will not force others to believe, nor will we criticize other religions. Please rest assured. "

The representative's expression relaxed: since human kindness and happiness are advocated, this is the common goal of all religions' integration, and it is only the purpose of enterprises and does not contradict God's teaching.

Hotan Jin Jia also highlighted Yaohan's ideal and made Muslim employees understand that Yaohan is not a missionary enterprise.

The training class went smoothly again.

A storm saved the day.

Wada Kazuo is full of gratitude and admiration for his mother.

Tian, her mother, is a well-known legend in Asia. Her influence has reached a household name, and it is well known to all women and children.

This is all because of a Japanese TV series called A Xin. A Xin, the hero, started from scratch, went through hardships, and finally established a successful life with patience and love, becoming a legendary hero in the eyes of Asians.

Hotan Jin Jia is the prototype of A Xin's life. This Japanese woman, whose life course and kind love are very similar to those of A Xin, has established a high reputation in the eyes of Chinese people with the ordinary starting point of selling vegetables and Yaohan's brilliant achievements in establishing her own department stores in today's world 16 countries.

Hotan Jin Jia became popular in China and Asia overnight and became a living "A Xin".

Wada Kazuo, the famous current president who founded Yaohan International Group, has attracted people's attention in China because his mother is very expensive and he should be called the son of "A Xin".

The influence and drum power of literature and art can be seen.

Therefore, it was difficult for Wada Kazuo to accept this title and this movie star-like treatment at first.

He called it a "misunderstanding" with some distress. He said:

"For some reason, the reality is misunderstood as me and my mother Tian. Anyway, there are still many people who want to see the real A Xin and care about my mother.

"In the whole process of our visit to China, three photographers of CCTV took photos at any time and broadcast them by TV stations. Even this TV program treats my mother as a real person, A Xin.

"No matter where we go, many people are waiting to see the charm of A Xin. This misunderstanding makes us feel embarrassed and embarrassed. "

However, whether it was misunderstanding or embarrassment, 1990 10 In June, Wada Kazuo set foot on the land of China for the first time at the invitation of the China government. Tian, the chief consultant of Yaohan, was warmly welcomed in China as the consultant of the delegation to China.

Tian, as a real character in A Xin, is particularly eye-catching.

Jin Jia Hotan, who is over 80 years old, is visiting China due to illness. Wada Kazuo, as a son, was deeply touched by the acupuncture treatment provided by China.

What is even more touching is that during the visit to the Great Wall in Wan Li, four guards carried the octogenarian and Tian together in wheelchairs! And specially took them to the place where former Japanese Prime Minister tanaka kakuei climbed.

Hotan Jin Jia was moved to tears! While thanking each other, she said with great emotion, "Can the Japanese do it now?"

I can see that she was deeply moved by the courtesy and enthusiasm of China people and will never forget it!

After all, Wada Kazuo is a shrewd entrepreneur. Although he is critical of this title, he clearly knows that this "celebrity effect" cannot be exchanged with advertising and money.

More importantly, the mother known as "A Xin" is his dearest mother and has a profound influence on his life!

1995 10 in osaka, Japan, when interviewed by a reporter from hong kong's hong kong news, Wada Kazuo cleverly changed his tune.

The reporter asked, "A Xin is a famous TV series in Asia. I heard it's a TV series based on your mother. Of course, Yaohan's success has a lot to do with A Xin's hardworking spirit. In addition, are there other secrets to business success? "

Wada Kazuo replied, "As you said, the spirit of hard work is very important. Hard work means: sincere and honest hard work, which is the source of success in all careers, and this is what I always tell my employees. I learned all this from my mother, who is called' A Xin'. "

In other words, Wada Kazuo has accepted the fact that his mother's name is "A Xin".

His mother, A Xin, was once called "the soul of Yaohan" by Wada Kazuo, which had a profound influence on his life.

Wada Kazuo once said, "My father's determination and my mother's love are precious legacies to me."

My mother is warm, kind and generous. Since she first proposed to open a fruit and vegetable grocery store, she has been doing small business for decades. She has a good reputation in Rehai.

She is very ethical, considerate of customers and takes pleasure in her work. No matter what's wrong with her, as long as she arrives at the store, she is always full of smiles and warm and thoughtful service.

She opposes profiteering, does not have much desire, and is content to do business in an old shop in Rehai.

For Wada Kazuo, his mother's broad-mindedness, cheerfulness and acceptance of new things also left a deep impression on him.

What benefited Wada Kazuo most for life and thanked his mother was that her mother led him to find the cult of "Growing Home", which gave him faith and spiritual sustenance in life.

He regards the belief of "the family of growth" as the whole of his outlook on life, and his outlook on life as Yaohan's business philosophy.

When he was young, Wada Kazuo accepted radical ideas, was cynical, and was full of destructive desires for the real society. It was his mother who deeply cared for him with a loving mother's heart and sincerely guided him to a happy life.

Since then, he has been full of gratitude and love for the world. Angry emotions turn into harmonious love and live in a bright and beautiful world full of sunshine.

The idea and thought of "Growing Home" had a far-reaching influence on him. From the morning prayer that "God wants to watch" every morning, to writing a "bright diary" (a diary that only records good things), and then praying before going to bed at night, the activities required by the "growth house" doctrine run through his daily life.

These activities have been going on for more than 40 years since he met the "home of growth" at the age of 20. It can be said that the doctrine of "the house of growth" runs through his life.

In his mind, every thought and every decision, he tried to do it according to the teaching requirements of "the house of growth". He loves his parents and is kind to others. He doesn't blame others for any unexpected blow.

He combined this theory of making himself open-minded, caring and full of positive enterprising spirit with Yaohan's business activities, and took its thought as Yaohan's entrepreneurial spirit, so as to educate employees and make unremitting efforts, thus having an excellent and capable staff with a new mental outlook.

It can be said that the doctrine of "growing family" has penetrated into Wada Kazuo's soul and recast an entrepreneur who is full of love for the world!

Wada Kazuo often said: The luckiest thing in my life is meeting a "home of growing up".

"I can meet the' home of growth', thanks to my mother!" Wada Kazuo is over sixty years old and has made great achievements, but she will never forget her mother's kindness.

1994 10, Jehai, the hometown of Hotan Jin Jia, died suddenly.

Wada Kazuo, the eldest son guarding his deathbed, burst into tears!

My mother is 87 years old, and the hard life in her early years left her with hidden dangers of illness. She was ill in her later years and lingered in the hospital bed for a long time. Although this is expected, Wada Kazuo still finds it hard to accept.

He couldn't imagine that his mother, with such a loving face, was strong and philosophical, but she died and died.

Wada Kazuo, 65, still relies on her teenage mother and regards her as an eternal spiritual patron saint.

But in fact, as a well-known successful entrepreneur who transcends national boundaries, Wada Kazuo's foresight and great boldness of vision have touched the world countless times, and his energy and achievements have far surpassed the well-known "A Xin" mother.

It seems that just yesterday, Wada Kazuo clearly remembers his mother's surprised expression when he was in trouble at home and proposed to open a shop in Brazil.

Mother thought hard before she realized that this was Wada Kazuo's overseas strategy. She stare big eyes, that look, as if her son in a high fever, talking nonsense!

Mother's expression amused the serious Wada Kazuo.

Later, with the branch in Brazil, Yaohan went out of the border, and Wada Kazuo pursued the idea of "opening a chain store around the Pacific Ocean" and said that his goal was:

"Determined to realize the lofty ideal of becoming a world model enterprise."

Mother almost froze when she heard the news.

Mother is also an industrialist, and of course she understands the hardships of doing business. She does her job well, and as long as she does business in Rehai, she will be satisfied.

Later, Wada Kazuo's ideals came true. He is good at doing business in the United States, Canada, Britain, South America, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions.

My mother tirelessly flew to various places to tell new employees about the spirit and purpose of Yaohan and to conduct pre-job training.

In fact, the development of Yaohan is also due to my mother.

If it weren't for the mother's trust attitude towards her son when the mother and son disagreed, Wada Kazuo wouldn't be so unscrupulous.

Mother's generosity gave Wada Kazuo a strong backing without worries.

Mother believes in facts. She intuitively concluded that her son was a handsome man with lofty ideals. She has been expecting to be a great talent since she was a child, and her talent is playing a role in her son. Let her son do what she doesn't understand, as long as it doesn't violate the principle of being a man and the doctrine of "growing up"

My mother's profound understanding of justice, especially in her decision to agree with Yaohan to move its headquarters to Hongkong.

Moving the headquarters of Yaohan to Hongkong, a bold move that is widely praised and admired now, caused an uproar in Japanese economic circles six years ago, with mixed comments. This is a big risk!

In the eyes of others, Yaohan has achieved great success. As long as we develop steadily, we can reap profits without taking risks.

In the hearts of Hotan and Tianjin, they are completely different. Yaohan is closely related to her, and Yaohan is headquartered in Rehai. For her, this is a matter of course. Why are you moving?

Moreover, Kazuo is not used to living in Hong Kong and being away from her. Over the years, although my son often flies around, his home is always in the boiling sea! This time, things are different.

Wada Kazuo told his mother what he thought and the benefits of moving to Hong Kong. Her mother had great confidence in Wada Kazuo's idea, and for the sake of Yaohan's development prospects, her 80-year-old mother decisively voted for it.

His mother supported him as always. Wada Kazuo was very moved. Knowing that his mother was worried about the loneliness of separation from her son, he took her hand affectionately and said:

"Hong Kong to Japan, but four hours by plane, you wait for me to go out. I will come and go often. "

On the day I left Japan for Hong Kong, my mother had tears in her eyes, but Kazuo said heroically, "I'll be right back!" " Then wave goodbye.

Yes, for Wada Kazuo, who wanted to be a diplomat since he was a child, his extraordinary spirit has made him regard narrow national boundaries as nothing.

In an interview with The New York Times, he said these words:

"I thought the world was my home. Therefore, from Hong Kong to the United States, or from the United States to the United Kingdom, no matter where you go, there is always a feeling of' coming when you go', to the starting point. "

He is a generous entrepreneur who takes the world as his home.

But Wada Kazuo knew that it was his mother's broadness, tolerance and kindness that nourished his son and made this world his home.

He understands the sacrifice his mother made for him, and he will always be grateful for her love and lessons!

In his mind, mother is not old, but she is still alive!

An extraordinary woman with great influence in Asia has finished her life.

"Rest in peace, Mom!" Her outstanding son prayed silently that her career was being carried forward in the hands of Wada Kazuo!
