Three stories of successful entrepreneurs

An entrepreneur with a sense of mission should strive to stick to the right path, so that he will certainly achieve different degrees of success. The following is a story about successful entrepreneurs that I have compiled for you. Welcome to read!

The story of a successful entrepreneur 1: Bill? Gates

Mrs Misa dragged two big boxes abroad for the first time and walked into the waiting hall. She searched everywhere for a long time, but she couldn't find her nephew who promised to meet here. She sighed lightly and sat down to wait for her nephew.

Because she had just had a kidney operation, Mrs Misa went to the toilet more often than ordinary people, but there was no sign of her nephew. Although many things she brought were not very valuable, they were all precious, because they were gifts that she had saved for many years to give to relatives and friends in the city. She had to endure and look around anxiously.

? Can I help you, madam? A smiling young man sat next to her.

? Oh, no, not yet. ? Misa looked at the young man.

The young man in casual clothes took out a book and read it like no one was watching.

? This unpunctual guy will have to be reprimanded later. ? Mrs Misa began to complain about her nephew.

After a while, Mrs Misa really couldn't stand the physical demands. She turned to the young people around her for help. Please look after my baggage. I'm going to the bathroom. ?

The young man nodded happily and agreed.

Mrs Misa will be back soon. She gratefully took out a dollar and handed it to the young man:

? Thank you for looking after my things. You deserve it. ?

Looking at the old man with a serious face, the young man replied? Thank you? Pick up the dollar and put it in his coat pocket.

At this moment, Mrs. Misa's nephew, wearing a suit and tie, came up to her quickly. He was about to explain why he was late when suddenly the young man next to the old man was surprised and said, hello, Mr. Gates, you are also on this flight.

? what's up The young man put away his books and started walking towards the ticket gate.

? Among them, Mrs Gates Misa asked puzzled.

? Is he Bill, the richest man in the world and the president of Microsoft, whom I often tell you about? Mr gates. ? My nephew dragged his suitcase and told Mrs. Misa loudly.

? Oh, I finally know the secret of his success today. I only paid him a dollar. ? Mrs Misa's face was calm and proud.

? He really accepted your reward of one yuan, and his nephew opened his mouth in surprise.

? That's right. I'm glad I still have a dollar's income while waiting for the plane today, because I did a small thing for this lady. ? Gates turned around and answered calmly.

This is definitely a sentimental story-because of a natural seriousness, a poor rural old lady, Mrs. Misa, and the world's richest man worth tens of billions are very concerned about that little dollar, which makes that dollar exceed its own value: in the eyes of the former, it is a kind of labor that must be paid; In the latter's mind, it is respect for a sincere thank you that must be responded.

There is no gap between wealth and status. They tell the world in a simple way that no matter who they are, they should be willing to help others and accept their help, work generously and accept the corresponding rewards, so that wealth will continue, not only materially but also spiritually.

The Story of Successful Entrepreneurs 2: Liang Wengen

? Liang Wengen, the richest man in China? Since September of 10, it has been a popular search term on the Internet. When Liang Wengen was ranked as the richest man in Forbes and Hurun, when news came that he was in politics, and when a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sany Heavy Industry was suspected of overseas tax avoidance, many media were looking for this low-key and mysterious China richest man Liang Wengen. However, he always hides behind the scenes.

10 June 18, some media pointed out that a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sany Heavy Industry was suspected of overseas tax avoidance. And 20 1 1 Liang wengen, the actual controller of China's richest man Sany group? China's richest man? This name, in the media, is a hot spot to chase; For the people, it is a daily talk; But for Liang, it makes no sense.

? You can let everyone know about Sany, but it's better that no one knows about Liang Wengen. ? This is what Liang Wengen, chairman and founder of Sany Group, once said to Xiang, vice president of Sany Group.

Low profile? China's richest man?

When the news came that Liang Wengen became the richest man in China and went into politics, the whole Sany Group was unusually calm, and neither the office building nor the production plant felt any joy that the boss became the richest man in China. ? This has no effect on us. ? The staff of Sany Heavy Industry said.

After carefully reading the official Weibo of Sany Group and Sany Heavy Industry, I found that there was no news release or forwarding about Chairman Liang Wengen becoming the richest man in China, and there were no political events. The staff revealed that because he was already familiar with Liang's low-key style, he was also relatively low-key when dealing with this matter.

The request to interview Liang Wengen was mentioned by many media. What is the answer from the staff of Sany Group? Almost impossible? . In recent years, Liang Wengen has never been interviewed by the media. Recently, in 2008, I made an exception and accepted an exclusive interview with the media through personal relationships. ? I told him several interviews before, but they were all rejected. I always said he would be unhappy. ? The above personnel said.

Sure enough, no matter the employees of Sany or everyone who knows Liang Wengen, there are only two words to evaluate Liang: low-key.

At the meeting, a pen and a few sheets of white paper are essential for Liang. No matter whether the speaker is an executive or an ordinary employee, he will patiently keep taking notes on paper, but he will never interrupt the speaker. If he has a conclusion before the end of the meeting, he will announce it. If not, he will judge through other meetings.

? So far, I have been working until 8 pm every day, and I also ask our entire senior management team to do the same, in order to maintain the execution and entrepreneurial passion at the beginning of Sany's business. ? Liang Wengen said.

Not low-key Sany group?

Liang Wengen, the name may not be familiar to many people, because of his low profile. But for most people, Sany Group? No stranger, compared with its chairman Liang Wengen? Low profile? Style, his Sany Group, is not low-key.

2065438+01On September 7th and 8th, Liang Wengen, the founder of Sany Group, successively topped Hurun and Forbes China Rich List, becoming the richest man in China for the first time. On the list of billionaires, there are seven executives on the list. For a time, Sany Group was called? Palace factory? . Twenty-five years ago, Liang Wengen and his companions scraped together 60,000 yuan to establish Lianyuan Maotang Welding Material Factory. Twenty-five years later, the once humble small factory has developed into the world's largest concrete machinery manufacturing base with an output value of over 50 billion yuan. China's richest man? .

Sany is regarded as the showstopper of the industry, but also an alternative of the industry, isn't it? Impossible? . At the beginning of 2008, Sany had a development strategy of 100 billion yuan, that is, by 20 12 years, Sany Group would achieve revenue of10 billion yuan and become one of the top 500 in the world. Didn't it seem a little? Arabian nights? . In 20 10, Sany's sales revenue has exceeded 50 billion yuan, and everything seems impossible.

Sany does not have the advantages of the old industrial base in Northeast China, the policy priority of state-owned enterprises and abundant funds. So some people say that the success of Sany Group is a miracle of private enterprises.

The rise of the helm of private enterprises

Are you online? Press conference of Sany Heavy Industry's world's longest boom pump truck off the assembly line? On the spot, facing? What does Changsha think of Liang Wengen's visit? Zhang Jian, the mayor of Changsha, who attended the meeting, wisely replied:? The identity change of General Liang of Sany Group is still in the investigation stage. You'd better ask the party affairs department for further information. ?

It is understood that Liang Wengen can become the object of investigation by high-level departments, which is related to his low-key life and his political talent in addition to his great contribution to Sany Group.

In fact, Liang Wengen's magnificent leap this time is not only a simple promotion of his personal achievements and honors, but also a change in the status of private entrepreneurs in China.

According to industry observers, although entrepreneurs such as Zhang Ruimin, CEO of Qingdao Haier, and Li, Chairman of Sinopec, successively entered the central high-level sequence many years ago, there is a background that cannot be ignored: these enterprises are all state-owned or central enterprises. As a private entrepreneur with a personal wealth of over 35 billion, Liang Wengen should be the first private enterprise in China if he can be promoted smoothly this time.

Scholars believe that the symbolic significance of this move is greater than the political significance.

Pu Xingzu, a professor at Fudan University's School of International Relations and Public Affairs, said? Entering the core of state power as a private entrepreneur not only shows the attitude of the ruling party to the development of private economy, but also helps to express the interests of the class to which private entrepreneurs belong. ?

Shi Yiqing used three in a row? No? Want to respond? Liang Wengen is in politics? News? Liang Dong will not give up the controlling stake of Sany Heavy Industry, nor will he leave the position of chairman, nor will the senior management of Sany. ?

Therefore, Liang Wengen's promotion opportunity is of great significance.

Sany heavy industry executives? Buy low and sell high.

10 June 18, some media pointed out that a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sany Heavy Industry was suspected of overseas tax avoidance. According to the announcement of Sany Heavy Industry, the company accused of overseas tax avoidance is the former Sany Heavy Machinery Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as? Sany Heavy Machinery Investment? ) is registered in the British Virgin Islands with a registered capital of only USD 50,000, and its wholly-owned subsidiary is Sany Heavy Machinery (China) Co., Ltd. (Virgin) (hereinafter referred to as? Sany Heavy Machinery China? ), these two companies are joint-stock companies and do not have their own actual production and operation business.

It is worth noting that Sany Heavy Machinery Investment was registered in the Virgin Islands in 2003 by ten natural persons including Tang Xiuguo, Xiang, Yi Xiaogang and Mao Zhongwu, most senior executives of Sany Heavy Industry (or Sany Group). The company was formerly known as SpecklemarkLtd, and Liang Wengen only contributed US$ 28,965,438+0,000, while other natural persons contributed as little as US$ 4,465,438+0.

On the same day, the relevant person of Sany Heavy Industry said that at present, the company's top management already knew that the media was paying attention to the corporate income tax and tax avoidance of overseas companies, but there was no formal response. But Liang Wengen and others 10 natural persons were arrested for possession? Sany Heavy Machinery Investment? The harvest is quite fruitful.

20 10, the overall evaluation value of Sany heavy machinery reached nearly 2 billion yuan. So some people question that Sany Heavy Industry and its executives will have excavator assets? Buy low and sell high? Suspected.

However, Sany Heavy Industry also responded that in 20001and 2002, Sany Heavy Industry had many difficulties in terms of technical level, industrial chain construction, marketing service system and financial situation, and its prospects were uncertain. At that time, Sany Heavy Industry, a listed company, decided to sell its assets if it wanted to integrate the excavator industry.

The Story of a Successful Entrepreneur 3: andrew carnegie

People who have changed from abject poverty to billionaires and created countless millionaires. Without the help of a doctor or midwife, Andrew Carnegie was born because his family was too poor and there was no midwife. His first job paid two cents an hour, but later he created a fortune of 400 million dollars.

I have been to his hometown in Danfenglin, Scotland, which is a two-bedroom farmhouse. His father is engaged in knitting downstairs, and his family lives in a narrow and dark attic, where they even have to cook.

The Carnegie family immigrated to the United States later, and their lives depended on their father selling their knitted fabrics everywhere, washing clothes for others with their mother, and processing for shoe stores. Andrew had only one shirt at that time, so every night after he went to bed, his mother washed his shirt quickly. Andrew loves his mother. She has to work 16 to 18 hours every day. At the age of 22, he even promised that he would never get married as long as his mother was alive, and he did fulfill this promise. Thirty years later, after his mother died, he got married. At that time, he was 52 years old and his only son was born at the age of 62. When he was a child, he often said to his mother, Mom, I will be a rich man in the future. I will buy you a lot of silk clothes, let the servants do things for you, and a carriage for my own use. ? He believes that his wisdom is inherited from his mother's inheritance, and the driving force behind his extraordinary achievements is also his yearning for his mother. After his mother died, he was so sad that he didn't mention her name for 15 years. He paid off the debt for an old Scottish woman and cancelled the mortgage. The only motive is that the old lady looks like his mother.

Andrew. However, Carnegie? Steel king? World-famous, but I know nothing about the manufacture of steel. However, he has thousands of employees who are proficient in this technology, and he also knows how to skillfully use the methods of so many employees, which is the secret of his great wealth creation. Since he was a child, he has shown superior organizational ability, leadership ability and excellent talent for employing people.

Take the story of his boyhood in Scotland as an example. Once, he caught a mother rabbit and soon gave birth to many rabbits, but Andrew had no money to buy feed. After a period of thinking, he finally came up with a good idea. He said to his neighbor's playmates, I want to keep these rabbits. Can you help me pick some leaves of alfalfa or dandelion? It will definitely pay off. I will name one of them after you. ? It is said that this method has achieved considerable results.

After Andrew became an entrepreneur, he still often used this psychological tactic. For example, he wanted to sell the rails to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, so he and J Edgar, then the chairman of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, built a large factory in Pittsburgh. Named after Thomson, named J. Edgar Thomson steel works, of course, Mr. Thomson was very happy, so he did not hesitate to buy steel works products named after himself.

Andrew used to be a telegraph operator in Pittsburgh when he was young. His daily salary is only 50 cents, but for him at that time, it was already a big income. He is not familiar with the streets of Pittsburgh. He is afraid that he will be fired for this reason one day, so he memorizes the company name and address in downtown Pittsburgh. Later, he decided to become a telecommunication technician, studying telecommunication-related books until late at night every night, and rushing to the telecommunication bureau to practice keys the next morning.

One morning, Philadelphia kept sending telegrams to Pittsburgh, but Andrew, the technician on duty, had not arrived at the company yet. Carnegie had to receive the telegram himself and send it out quickly. Because of this, Andrew was quickly promoted to telecommunications technician, and his salary tripled.

His ambition and efforts were highly appreciated. Soon, in order to set up the telecommunication cable, the Pennsylvania Railway Company hired Carnegie as a telecommunications technician and later served as the private secretary of the director of the telecommunications department.

One day, because of an accident, Carnegie finally took the first step to become a billionaire. He was going somewhere by train, and the passenger sitting next to him was an inventor. During the chat, the inventor showed Carnegie a new sleeping car and told Carnegie that it was his new invention. The sleeping car of that era was just a simple sleeper nailed to both sides of the truck, but that model was quite close to the modern sleeping car. Carnegie saw at a glance that the invention had great development potential with the unique keen vision of Scots, so he borrowed some money to buy the stock of the company that made this new sleeping car. Sure enough, the value of stocks continued to rise. By the age of 25, Carnegie had earned $5,000 a year because of this investment.

On one occasion, the wooden bridge where the railway passed was burned down, which made the train impassable for several days. At that time, Carnegie's position was director-general of the telecommunications department. He thought that the wooden bridge was out of date and the iron bridge era was coming, so he borrowed money to set up a company and began to manufacture the iron bridge, and the benefits he gained were immeasurable. In mythology, King Midas was given by God. He had the ability to touch anything and turn it into gold, Andrew. Carnegie, like him, can succeed in whatever he does. He once bought a farm in the middle of an oil field in western Pennsylvania with a few friends for 40 thousand yuan. In a short period of one year, the price of the farm rose to 6,543,800 yuan. It is said that when he was 27 years old, his average weekly income was 1000 yuan, while before 15, his daily salary was only 20 cents.

President Lincoln's reign 1862 was the most intense time of the Civil War. Prices keep rising, and major events happen one after another. At this time, the western development is also in full swing, even reaching the other side of the Mississippi River. In this case, the transcontinental railway is absolutely necessary. Emerging cities are also booming everywhere, and the whole United States is excited about this new era.

Andrew. Carnegie's steelmaking furnace almost never stops smoking. With this prosperity, he created almost unprecedented wealth.

Even so, he is not the kind of person who spends all his time at work. He spends most of his time at leisure. He always said. I have a lot of assistants with better brains around me. ? By scolding or encouraging, he made these capable assistants create great wealth for him. Although he also has the stingy character of Scots, he definitely made his assistants earn what they deserved. Few people have made so many millionaires like him.

Although he received only four years of school education in his life, he wrote as many as eight travel notes, biographies, essays and economic works. It also donated 60 million yuan to public libraries and 78 million yuan to improve the education system.

Scottish folk poet Robert. He memorized all Bonds' poems, Shakespeare's? Macbeth? 、? Hamlet? 、? King Lear? 、? Romeo and Juliet? And then what? Merchant of Venice? He also recited every article.

Although he is not a believer in any church, he has donated as many as 7,000 organs to churches all over the world. Before his death, he donated 365 million yuan to all parties, which is equivalent to 65.438+0 million yuan a day for one year. More than one newspaper launched a prize collection campaign? How should Carnegie use his great wealth? Good idea, because Carnegie himself said publicly that it is a shame to have money when you die.
