Cao immigrated to America.

I believe everyone is familiar with Cao, the king of china glass. In the American Factory invested by Obama, the story of Cao after he set up a factory in the United States is told, but other than that, we seem to know nothing about his story. Behind China's obscurity, Cao Wangde, the king of china glass, was widely reported by the American media. ...

Cao, male, 1946, 1989 was born in Fuqing city in May. His father is one of the shareholders of the famous Yong 'an department store in Shanghai, but an accident brought their family into a trough. At the age of 0/4, Cao/Kloc-was forced to drop out of school because of financial difficulties at home. After dropping out of school, he sold cigarettes, fruits and carts in the street. He will do almost anything to make money. He was often discriminated against by others and suffered both mental and physical blows. However, he did not give in to it, but constantly struggled with fate. Because his mother told him that "poverty is not terrible, but lack of ambition is the greatest fear", and this truth has always influenced him to this day.

On 1976, Cao is going to buy a crutch for his sick mother. When getting on the bus, the driver told him to be careful with the glass, because the imported glass is very expensive and no one in China makes it. ".This made him discover the development prospect of the glass industry. Cao Xian went to Gaoshan Town Special-shaped Glass Factory as a buyer, mainly responsible for selling water meter glass known as "mainland goods".

1983, Cao bought this small factory which suffered losses every year, and quickly changed its main business to automobile glass in 1985, completely changing the history that China automobile glass market 100% relied on foreign imports.

From 65438 to 0987, Cao went to the United States to establish Fuyao Glass Co., Ltd., and Cao defeated the monopoly of American local glass market with price advantage. When his business is getting bigger and bigger, he is naturally envied. On 200 1, Cao's Fuyao Glass Co., Ltd. was sued by American counterparts for monopolizing the glass market, but Cao did not panic, but took the US Department of Commerce to court. In Cao's mind, selling glass or not is a trivial matter. We can sell it to other countries without complaint, but we must never reverse black and white and ignore the facts, so we must take the initiative.

"We represent not only ourselves, but also the country and this industry. If we don't complain, then the entire china glass industry will definitely suffer. " .

Cao Wangde is determined to win this lawsuit. First, he spent a lot of money to ask top lawyers to set up Fuyao Anti-dumping Research Center. In the past six months, hundreds of kilograms of prosecution documents have been moved into the research center, and the staff have worked overtime to study resources and find evidence. They are not only for the sake of prosperity, but also shoulder the integrity of China enterprises. Many things happen. At the end of 2003, Fuyao finally won the case and let the United States refund $4 million in taxes! Also successfully opened the beginning of china glass industry going global!

20 13 Cao was elected as "CCTV Charity Person of the Year". The first thing he said when he came to power was "A man should have a conscience. My achievements today are inseparable from the support of the country and society, so I want to help the society and the country progress through my own strength. " He said so and did so.

In 2008, there was an earthquake in Wenchuan, and Cao personally went to the disaster area and donated 20 million yuan. In 20 10, the herring tree was hit by an earthquake. Cao and his son successively donated 654.38 billion yuan, and then donated 200 million yuan to the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation, giving 2,000 yuan to 65.438+10,000 poor families, because he had suffered and knew what it was like. In May 2009, Cao won the Ernst & Young Global Entrepreneur Award, which is known as the business Oscar. This is the first China entrepreneur to win this honor since the award was established 23 years ago.

20 10 Cao donated billions of Fuyao glass shares to set up Heren Charity Foundation, which is the largest charitable foundation in China at present. Before, some people said that he was faking, just beautifying himself, because his enterprises were all abroad, and all his children got American green cards, but he said in an interview program: "We Cao family can't immigrate because our roots are in China. If we don't go back to the motherland, they won't get me any money in the future."

In the documentary "American Factory" invested by Obama, Cao Wangde didn't ask to beautify himself. He only said one sentence: you can shoot anything I do, and then broadcast it. I've come here aboveboard in my life. ...
