Han Songting: "How did Cao Wangde move from poverty to entrepreneurial success?"

How did Cao go from poverty to success? How did he become a leader in the automotive glass industry, and donated tens of billions to charity, becoming the first good in China, ranking 705th on Forbes' list of the world's richest people with a wealth of 465,438+billion dollars!

How did all this happen?

Recently, I read Cao's book "Heart is Bodhi" and summarized the following six key factors that led to the success of entrepreneurship:

First, dare to fight.

Cao's father is good at business. He used to be one of the shareholders of the famous Yong 'an department store in Shanghai. Later, due to the accident, he was broke and broke.

Cao Wangde didn't go to school until he was nine years old. As a result, he only studied for five years and was forced to drop out of school at the age of 14. Forced to make a living, Cao sells fruit and gets up at three o'clock every morning. He also sold tobacco, pulled a scooter, repaired a bicycle, planted fungus, worked as a cook on the construction site, and tried various ways to make money to subsidize his family.

Later, under various opportunities, Cao began to make automobile glass, and 1987 established Fuyao Glass Co., Ltd. It dares to innovate, is good at learning, and constantly introduces new technologies and equipment, so that enterprises continue to grow sturdily.

In fact, there are many glass companies at home and abroad. Why did Cao Can Wang De become an industry leader? Please read on. ...

Second, focus.

Cao once lost tens of millions of dollars because he accidentally did business outside his main business. The consulting company diagnosed it as diversification, and then he immediately rectified it. From then on, he only focused on making car glass and refused all kinds of temptations!

For more than 30 years, he devoted himself to the field of automobile glass, instead of doing real estate, Internet and other industries that many people think make money, and finally developed into a leader in the field of automobile glass, completely changing the history of China's automobile glass market relying on imports.

At present, Cao Fuyao Glass has a domestic market share of more than 70% and a global market share of more than 30%, supplying eight major automobile factories in the world, such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Bentley, GM and Toyota.

Continuous focus, focus and focus have made Cao Wangde the first in the industry!

Third, loyalty and integrity:

Cao's loyalty and integrity are reflected in the following three points:

1, loyal to marriage: after success, he is very kind to his wife and even hangs all his property in his wife's name.

2. Loyalty to the cause: the company does not pay bribes, claiming that it has never sent a box of moon cakes. Even after buying a private jet, in order to avoid the suspicion of bribery, customers and officials are not allowed to ride, and only their own employees are allowed to sit.

3. Cao has deep feelings for his home country. As early as 2005, Cao gave up his American green card after settling down with the American market. He believes that the success of Fuyao Group belongs to the people of China! Be responsible for yourself and history.

This is rare among successful entrepreneurs. Many bosses tend to emigrate to other countries after they succeed in starting a business and become rich. Do you know how immigrants call names when they become citizens of other countries? Please read the following vows carefully:

How do you feel after reading this oath?

Perhaps this is one of the biggest differences between entrepreneurs and capitalists. Entrepreneurs have a sense of mission and social responsibility, while capitalists are often mercenary.

4. Contributions:

After Cao Wangde's successful start-up, he has been making contributions, giving and giving in all aspects, and often doing charity, such as:

During the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, Cao not only donated 20 million yuan, but also went to the disaster area several times to express condolences.

In 20 10, Cao donated 20 million yuan to build the south building.

During the epidemic in 2020, Cao donated 654.38 billion yuan to fight the epidemic.

In May, 20021,the Heren Charity Foundation founded by Cao planned to invest 10 billion yuan to build Fuyao University of Science and Technology.

In July of 2002 1 year, that is, this year, Cao donated1100 million yuan to support flood fighting and disaster relief in Henan.

From 1983 to 20021year, Cao's personal cumulative donation has exceeded 100 billion yuan, which is known as the first good in China!

5. Have confidence in your heart

Cao Wangde believes in Buddhism, worships Buddhism, takes Buddhism as his teacher, and invests in the construction of temples in various places with compassion.

A man is not afraid to believe anything, but he is afraid to believe nothing.

Honest people often have awe and generally don't mess around. People without faith have nothing to fear and are fearless, and they are often easy to mess around.

There is faith in the heart and strength at the foot!

6. Good reputation

Cao Wangde, "Wang De", is naturally rich. As the name implies, he has both ability and political integrity, but he is rich and virtuous. Cao De exercised his virtue, and he was burdened with great wealth! Perhaps this is the core reason why he made a fortune! He said that children should not be left with wealth, but with wisdom and morality.

Wisdom and morality are a person's real wealth!

Today, Cao's achievements have made domestic and foreign entrepreneurs sit up and take notice! Let's take a look at some achievements of Cao Wangde:

In May, 2009, Cao Rongdeng was honored as the top of the Ernst & Young Global Entrepreneur Award in the business Oscar. He was the first China Prize winner.

From 2065438 to September 2008, Cao was selected as one of the "Top Ten Most Influential Chinese Businessmen in the World".

In April, 20021,Forbes released the list of the world's richest people, and Cao ranked 705th on the list with a wealth of $4 1 billion. ...

Cao's story and miracle continue. ...

The above are some of my feelings and humble opinions after reading Cao's Mind is Bodhi, and I only want to share a little. Want to know more, I suggest reading this book, which is worth reading and learning by every entrepreneur, entrepreneur or person who wants to start a business.
