Among us, he has lived a life of ups and downs, and met fierce struggles and misfortunes that great men of any era have encountered. Now, he is gone. He walked out of confusion and pain. ?

Yes, Balzac had a rough life. Lack of maternal love since childhood. His family and mother are indifferent to him, and he seems to be a superfluous person in the family. Balzac later recalled this life and said angrily: I never knew what maternal love was. ? I experienced the most terrible childhood in my life. ?

When I grow up, I am determined to engage in simple literary creation. When a? King of literature? . I have been writing at my desk in the attic all day since the summer of 18 19.

Chow Yun Fat full of personality charm.

Chow Yun Fat acted very well and was full of personality charm. Everyone in the Hong Kong film circle, no matter the director or the actor, pays tribute to Chow Yun Fat.

In terms of personality charm, there are two examples to illustrate that many people know that Chow Yun Fat is the winner of three golden awards, but they may not know that he is also the actor with the most nominations. Chow Yun Fat, although he knew the prize was unknown, he never attended the Oscar ceremony unless he filmed abroad or on the mainland. Compared with some music awards in the Mainland, some stars are willing to attend only when they know that they have won the prize.

When the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always kept his head down and said nothing.

He overcomes any shortcomings he can overcome and makes use of what he can't. Through his speech, he learned how to hide his fangs and the posture of his piling worker with falsetto. Although there was nothing surprising in his speech, he didn't fail because of his voice and posture. He has no loud voice, no powerful gestures, and no amazing words like some people.

Success story 8:

1928 On July 29th, Li Ka-shing was born in a teacher's home in Beimen Street, Chaoan County, Chaozhou, Guangdong Province. At the age of five, under the guidance of his father Li Yunjing, Li Ka-shing took Confucius and Confucianism as his teachers and entered Guan Hai Temple Primary School. 1July 7, 937, the Japanese invasion of China broke out in an all-round way, and the Japanese bombed Chaozhou on 1938.

Li Ka-shing 1940 fled to Hongkong from his hometown of Chaozhou with his parents, when he was only 14 years old. Li Ka-shing's father was a teacher. After he arrived in Hongkong, he couldn't find a job for some time. The family took refuge in his uncle Zhuang Jing 'an, whose family was quite rich. But soon my father got a serious lung disease. On his deathbed, he left no last words, but asked Li Ka-shing what he wished for. Li Ka-shing immediately promised: My family will definitely have a good life in the future. ?

After his father died, Li Ka-shing, the eldest son, gave up his studies to support his family, went to work in a watch company, and then worked as a salesman in a plastic factory. Li Ka-shing knew that to be an excellent salesman, diligence is the first and flexibility is the second. Will Li Ka-shing give full play to these in her future marketing career? Trick? . When other colleagues only work eight hours a day, Li Ka-shing works sixteen hours a day. Li Ka-shing, right? Work? What's your opinion? I am absolutely loyal to my job. I never regard it as making a living and working with my boss, but as my own career. ? In this way, it took only one year for Li Ka-shing to surpass the other six colleagues and become the salesman with the highest turnover in the factory. His sales performance at that time was seven times that of the second place. At the age of eighteen, he was appreciated by his boss and promoted to department manager. A year later, he became the general manager of the sales company. There is another episode in Li Ka-shing's rapid promotion: when he was a salesman in a factory, he went to night school for further study no matter how busy he was. He plans to go to college after passing the exam. In order to keep this talent, the boss simply promoted him to general manager.

? Yangtze River? The original entrepreneurial story

After this short battle, Li Ka-shing began to evaluate his own strength. He believes that if he starts his own business, his performance may be better. 1950, 22-year-old Li Ka-shing finally resigned as the general manager and tried to start a business. At that time, Li Ka-shing's capital was very limited. The savings in these two years are only HK$ 7,000, which is not enough to set up a factory. He borrowed more than 40,000 yuan from his uncle Li Yi and his cousin Li Shulin. Together with his own savings, he made a total of more than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. He opened a factory in the west of Queen's Road on Hong Kong Island to produce plastic toys and household goods, which was taken from Xun Zi's Persuasion? If you don't accumulate a small stream, you can't become a river What is the name of the factory? Yangtze River? .

At first, Li Ka-shing only kept taking orders to ship goods, ignoring quality control, which led to the products getting worse and worse. As a result, either the delivery time was delayed or the goods were returned for compensation, and the factory income suddenly dropped sharply. In addition, raw material suppliers have come to ask for payment, and banks have been urging loans. Yangtze River? Be driven to the brink of bankruptcy. This made Li Ka-shing realize that he was too hasty and underestimated the risk of being a boss.

How can we save the Yangtze River Plastic Factory? Li Ka-shing by or? Xinyi? Two words? Have faith to customers and kindness to employees. He called a meeting of employees, confessed his business mistakes, sincerely apologized to all the employees who stayed in the factory, and promised to welcome the laid-off workers back to work at any time once the factory could survive this extraordinary period. After that, Li Ka-shing shuttled between many banks, raw material suppliers and customers, apologizing one by one and asking them to relax the repayment period. At the same time, he tried his best to find customers for goods, sell inferior goods at a loss, and raise money to buy plastic materials and production machines. By 1955, the high debt was finally removed, and the business was getting better and better. It didn't take long to open a branch.

1957 One day at the beginning of the year, Li Ka-shing read the new issue of Plastic magazine in English, and came across a short piece of news that an Italian company made plastic flowers from plastic raw materials and dumped them in European and American markets. This gave Li Ka-shing great inspiration. He is keenly aware that this kind of cheap and fine decoration has great market potential. There are a large number of cheap and diligent workers in Hong Kong who are engaged in the production of plastic flowers. He predicted that plastic flowers would also be popular in Hong Kong. Li Ka-shing seized the opportunity to personally take people to the Italian plastics factory? Studying art? While introducing the production technology of plastic flowers, we also specially introduced foreign management methods. After returning to Hong Kong, he put? Changjiang Plastic Factory? Rename? Cheung kong industrial co., ltd? Actively expand the factory and strive for contracts from overseas buyers.

Are you online? Yangtze River? One of our customers, Ma Su, an American Jew, has ordered a batch of plastic products, and intends to ship them to the United States for sale. Later, the contract was temporarily cancelled for some reason. Li Ka-shing did not claim compensation. He said to Masu. If there are other businesses in the future, we can establish a better relationship. ? Masu deeply felt that this generous young entrepreneur was a man who could do great things, so he kept selling it to American experts? Yangtze River? Products. Since then, American orders have rained down on us. What did Li Ka-shing realize from this? Is suffering a blessing? The truth.

Invest in real estate.

Start a business for five years, Yangtze River? Gradually become one of the best large-scale plastic flower factories in the world. Li Ka-shing was dubbed by insiders? Plastic Kao? Nickname. The owner of the factory rented by Li Ka-shing also took the opportunity to raise the rent substantially, which in turn encouraged Li Ka-shing's determination to build its own property.

1958 won the land construction of King's Road in North Point 12-storey industrial building, leaving several floors for personal use and the rest units for rent. After the completion of this building, the real estate price in Hong Kong rose sharply. Li Ka-shing found that real estate was promising, so he began to lay out and put money into the real estate market.

In the mid-1960s, Hong Kong real estate experienced crazy speculation and plummeted. Li Ka-shing has a discerning eye, thinking that the land price will rise again one day, and decided to implement it? People abandon me and take it? The strategy is to buy a lot of land and old buildings at low prices and build factories in Kwun Tong, Chai Wan and Wong Chuk Hang, all of which will be rented out. Within three years, as expected, the storm subsided, and a large number of businesses that left Hong Kong in the past returned one after another, and property prices rose sharply. Li Ka-shing took the opportunity to sell the cheap property at a high price for profit and buy buildings and land with development potential. This time, his strategy is to just buy and not sell, and use it all in Gai Lou. In the early 1970s, he had a building area of 6.3 million square feet, and the rent exceeded 350,000 square feet, with an annual rent of 4 million Hong Kong dollars.

1971June, Li Ka-shing formally established its real estate business? Changjiang real estate co., ltd? . Are you online? Bull? At the inaugural meeting, his goal for the future was to surpass the so-called Hong Kong. Real estate king? what's up Land requisition? . The land company is a British businessman Paul? Chat, just like that? Jardine matheson Qi, the head of Hong Kong, co-founded, known as the largest developer in Asia and the largest commercial organization in Hong Kong. 1July, 972, Li Ka-shing? Bull? Changed its name to Changjiang Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. and became the chairman and general manager. This year 1 1 month? Changshi? Listed in Hong Kong and put on the market for sale.

? Changshi? Li Ka-shing encountered many obstacles in the process of preparing for listing in Hong Kong. At that difficult time, he was encouraged by his wife Zhuang Yueming. Zhuang Yueming is his cousin, four years younger than him, and they are childhood friends. Zhuang Yueming's father, Zhuang Jing 'an, is a famous watch dealer in Hong Kong, and owns a long-established Zhongnan watch shop. After graduating from Hong Kong University, Zhuang Yueming went to Meiji University in Japan for further study. 1965, Li Ka-shing, who had a successful career, married Zhuang Yueming.

? Changshi? Real estate has repeatedly made a lot of money. First, we spent more than 60 million yuan to buy property and land, and actively built high-grade residential and commercial buildings. By 1967, the US-funded group, Hilton Hotel and Hyatt Hotel were acquired with HK$ 230 million, which initiated the annexation of foreign institutions by Chinese capital in Hong Kong. And it took Li Ka-shing two and a half years to fully March? And the whole process of Huang is so straightforward? Snakes swallow elephants? It's really a classic of China's acquisition of British capital since the opening of the port. ? And Huangta is the product of cooperation between Old hutcheson Foreign Firm and Huangpu Wharf. By 1980? Changshi? Finally hold it? And if Huang owns more than forty percent of the shares, Li Ka-shing will become? Chairman Huang. At this point, Li Ka-shing took the leading position of Chinese real estate in Hong Kong. Where's Li? The nickname spread like wildfire.

Trees attract wind ―― People with high status/fame are vulnerable to attack.

On June 25th, 2000, 65438+20001October 25th, the European Parliament issued a report, denouncing the high market share of the Li family business headed by Li Ka-shing, which may have a dominant influence on the Hong Kong economy and even lead to monopoly. The report is also concerned that Li Ka-shing's two sons have been given preferential treatment by the relevant authorities in a number of listing and acquisition incidents, and such unfair preferential treatment will not be conducive to foreign investment in Hong Kong. The report claims:? This company's business accounts for about a quarter to a third of the capital valuation of the Hong Kong stock market, including telephone, mobile phone, electricity, supermarkets and real estate. ?

The report also mentioned that in early 2000, Li Ka-shing's second son, Li Zekai, won Hongkong Telecom, the largest telecommunications company in Hong Kong. Many media in Hong Kong are paying attention to the growing influence of the Li family. Are there any others that have not been publicly tendered? Cyberport? Tom was granted a number of exemption conditions when he was listed on the Growth Enterprise Market, which caused a lot of controversy. The report even thinks that it is necessary for Hong Kong to introduce a fair competition law to prevent monopoly.

Li Ka-shing has been crisscrossing Europe and Asia for many years and has never been attacked by the international community in such a high profile. Therefore, he immediately responded to the report of the European Parliament, and refuted it through a statement issued by his Cheung Kong Industrial Group, pointing out that the report was not only miscalculated, but also the statement that the Li family was influential was even more fallacious. ? Changshi? The spokesman said that the market value of the four companies under Li Ka-shing's name only accounts for 15% of the market value of Hong Kong stocks, plus the second son Li Zekai's? Pccw? Five companies account for less than 18% of the total market value of the stock market.

Huo Guangwen, chief executive of HKEx, also refuted the report, saying that tom's exemption from some listing conditions on GEM was only a flexible arrangement at that time, and non-Li family enjoyed privileges. He even alleged that some companies in Finland, Canada and other places also accounted for a considerable proportion of the total market value of listed companies, and questioned why the report of the European Parliament only mentioned Hong Kong and not other places. The Hong Kong government also strongly denies it, right? Cyberport? If it goes public, it will be biased towards the Li family.

As for whether high market share equals monopoly? Zeng Manji, a professor of economics at the Baptist University and a member of the Hong Kong Government's Fair Competition Committee, pointed out that high market share does not necessarily mean monopoly. Monopoly depends on the company's behavior, such as restrictive behavior, price manipulation or supply restriction of companies in the industry.

When people from all walks of life were arguing endlessly, only one day later, Li Ka-shing was warned by the European Commission, pointing out? Hutchison International Port? 1999 The acquisition of the European Terminal in Rotterdam may violate the EU competition law, and it is emphasized that if it is judged to be true, the merger transaction may be cancelled. Huang You will face a fine. It is reported that the reason held by the European Commission is that this business plan has not been informed, and this transaction may violate the merger regulations.

It is rare for the European Commission to seek an unannounced business merger plan. ? Hutchison International Port? Immediately issue a statement denying any violation of the regulations.

The European Parliament's high-profile naming of Li Ka-shing has attracted a lot of speculation. Dr. CHAN Yan Chong, a well-known economist in Hong Kong, published a commentary in Hong Kong Economic Times, arguing that the European Parliament suddenly took charge of Hong Kong's economy, mainly because European businessmen had begun to feel uneasy about Li Ka-shing's business kingdom's entry into Europe, because many European businessmen had already tasted defeat under Li Ka-shing. He pointed out in the article:

? Qian Qian has been used by thousands of Europeans? And the European telecommunications service provided by Huang. ? Huang's sale of Orange (a British mobile phone communication company) made a profit of 1 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. And after that? Huang resold some shares of Telecom (the largest mobile phone company in Germany) and Vodafone (one of the largest mobile phone companies in the world), which not only obtained nearly HK$ 1000 billion in cash, but also caused a sensation throughout Europe. European businessmen really understand that Li Ka-shing, a Hong Kong businessman, is a strong competitor. They began to fear Li Ka-shing because they were no match for Li Ka-shing.

? Look at how beautifully Li Ka-shing has fought every battle since selling oranges. Not only has it continuously increased its cash income, but it has also obtained 3G licenses from Britain and Italy. When everyone paid a high price for the German 3G license? And Huang came back in a hurry Is there a lot of cash after the global telecom share price plummeted? Huang just bought a tablet computer at a low price and got a 3G license from Germany. Such excellent business practices should be praised. Why did the European Parliament attack Li Ka-shing in turn?
