At what age did Zhejiang businessman Lu die?

He is a witness, participant and promoter of China's economic reform and development, and he has been persistent for 48 years. He is a "frolicker" who stands upright in the mouth of China's changing times, and the red flag is raised again in all directions; He is the "collective idol" of the first generation of entrepreneurs in China, creating a monument to entrepreneurship.

Lu, a farmer entrepreneur from China who went from the field to the world, died in Hangzhou on October 25th, 65438. Legend curtain call, eternal monument.

Legend: The home of a soldier is the grave.

"I see, from now on, I won't get a sudden phone call from Lu," lamented the famous financial writer in his mourning article. He and Lu have known each other for half a lifetime, and witnessed this enterprise gradually changing from "Hangzhou Universal Joint Factory" to "Wanxiang Group".

Suddenly and unexpectedly ... this was the first reaction of business friends when they learned of his death. Guo Guangchang, chairman of Fosun Group and one of the representatives of Zheshang, wrote, "I am very shocked and saddened to hear this news. Because Lao Lu is only 72 years old and still very young. "

This age is really young for a shopping mall warrior who always calls himself "retirement without timetable".

Recalling that he and Lu "only met several times, but there are many details to recall". One of them is that when he asked when he would retire, he said that the destination of soldiers was the grave.

10 year 10 On October 25th, a faint sadness quietly swept through the WeChat social circle. The business legend didn't have time to wait until the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up to realize his lifelong dream of building a car, so he bid farewell to his battlefield.

The obituary column on the homepage of Wanxiang Group's website is silent gray. The smile in the photo is as usual, and the eyes are full of spirits. Next to the photo, he often says "Be a respected enterprise". The background of this sentence is a towering tree with green eyes.

Veterans don't die, they just fade away. More people write this sentence on their social networks.

"No matter whether you are a business or a person, Lu's' good' is beyond doubt." All the people in Sri Lanka have left, but all those who have met reporters and know Lu say so.

Yang Yiqing, executive president of Zhejiang Zheshang Research Association, was hard to calm down on the other end of the phone for a long time. President Lu has great personality charm. He takes care of the healthy development of entrepreneurs as his responsibility. Many enterprises have difficulties and setbacks, and he will care for help. Naturally, it has formed a highly respected "godfather" status among entrepreneurs.

A hedge between keeps friendship green. Some celebrities who are now all-powerful in the business world have been "cultivated" by Lu more or less, and now it is sad to look back.

Guo Guangchang first saw Lu's story when he was a freshman. "He was rated as one of the top ten news figures in China by the semi-monthly talk. Lao Lu and his Wanxiang, as a small township enterprise in Zhejiang, have firmly occupied most of the domestic automobile universal joint market. This makes my little fellow very proud. "

In Guo Guangchang's article, I recorded their first real acquaintance: I met him at a Zhejiang businessmen's conference. Looking closely, the biggest impression is Lao Lu's strong Xiaoshan accent, which even many Zhejiang people can't understand; But when it comes to his career, he is always full of enthusiasm.

Xu Guanju, chairman of Chuanhua Group, "was very lucky to break through more than 800 applicants in Ningwei Township, Xiaoshan, and became one of the first batch of 49 young employees with high school education recruited by Wanxiang for the society".

"I have worked in Wanxiang for 30 years." Recall that he worked with him for six years. Start with the coolie in the heat treatment workshop. "My first job was to work and study beside such an excellent entrepreneur as President Lu, which gave me a very valuable life wealth."

"Heaven and earth are strangers, and one must have a career; When you are alive, do your best every day. " This is Lu's philosophy of life and the secret of success. He said everything was settled. If others work five days a week, you won't rest for 365 days. If you do it wholeheartedly, you will succeed.

Now, he can finally have a good rest.
