Junior high school graduate Wu Shihong, how did she achieve an annual salary of 100 million in 12 years?

Each person is like two completely different leaves since birth. Some people are born into wealthy families and have no worries about food and clothing since childhood. They don’t have to worry about their future and future, because they have already There are predecessors who protect them from wind and rain and eliminate all obstacles and setbacks.

Some people need endless efforts and struggles to change their humble origins and poor financial capabilities. Life will show them more bitterness and coldness, and they will work harder than others.

After Wu Shihong finished junior high school, he briefly ended his study career and came to work in a hospital. In just a dozen years, he went from being a nurse in the emergency department to becoming the General Manager of IBM China Distribution Channels and a CEO of Microsoft. General Manager of the company in China.

The transformation did not happen overnight, but was the result of countless efforts and sweat behind it.

"Poverty" is not a shackle

Wu Shihong was born in 1963 in Beijing, China. Although she was born in the capital, Wu Shihong did not live "under the imperial city". Her family was in a remote suburb of Beijing, thousands of miles away from the city center, and the economic situation of her original family was not optimistic. .

From a very young age, she knew from her family’s financial conditions that she had to work harder than others. The family is poor, with only the father having a meager income, and the traditional family system of a large family makes this already poor family even worse.

Ever since she was a child, she has known what it means to be frugal and tolerant. Before the age of sixteen, Wu Shihong didn't even have a pair of shoes of her own. Her sisters' shoes were discarded and then handed over to her mother to sew and mend them. Finally, they came into her hands.

The family environment of his native family was too difficult, and Wu Shihong had to give up many opportunities, including opportunities for further study. After graduating from junior high school, her family was unable to afford Wu Shihong's tuition. In an era when compulsory education was not yet universal, she became a victim of the times and had no choice but to drop out of school and work as a nurse at Beijing Chunshu Hospital.

She desperately wanted to get rid of this suffocating environment. On the one hand, her financial ability and academic qualifications limited her choices to a great extent. For four years, she could not escape from this suffocating environment. The ambition of the circle, but not enough ability and capital, can only be spent in the emergency room with unwillingness.

The most abundant treasure that her working life in the hospital gave her was experience. She began to realize the huge differences between people among all kinds of people: many of her peers were still studying. At that time, she could only work like a headless fly in the emergency room of the hospital, and her salary was not even half of that of others.

The strong contrast makes Wu Shihong unwilling but helpless: on one side is a bright future, on the other side is a gloomy life. She began to feel uneasy with the status quo. She was only twenty years old. It was hard to imagine that she would continue to stay in a work unit with no future at all for the rest of her life. It was also hard to imagine that as the times progressed, she would have to do it because of herself. The diploma is behind the times and the world.

Daughters should strive for self-improvement

At the age of twenty, Wu Shihong began his studies to become a monk. After dropping out of school for four years, when she picked up an English book again, everything in it seemed familiar yet unfamiliar. That year, Wu Shihong's only learning tool was a radio. She didn't even have a teacher. All pronunciation training was done with the tapes in the radio.

In order to balance the delicate relationship between her current work and study, she even stayed up all night just to practice a certain pronunciation. Everything is hard and tiring, but Wu Shihong knows very well that only if she has enough capital can she be qualified to pursue a better life. In fact, all life is real. Without academic qualifications, she cannot even survive in this cruel world. social footing.

After Wu Shihong passed the higher education self-study English exam by herself, she ushered in her first life-changing turning point. At that time, IBM set up an office in Beijing and began external recruitment.

The competition was still very fierce at that time, but Wu Shihong was still eager to try. First, if you pass, it is naturally a good thing. If you fail, it can be regarded as an experience.

Second, she can judge her own shortcomings based on the needs of the job and make herself a more suitable talent for this era. After passing five tests and winning six, she was lucky enough to enter the final round of interviews, but the examiner asked a sharp question: "Can you type?"

The family conditions were difficult since childhood, and the problems in youth were difficult. Of course Wu Shihong, who spent her time in the hospital, could not type. She had never even touched a typewriter, but she did not deny it and replied "yes". The examiner mentioned a number, which was his second interview request a week later, and Wu Shihong agreed without hesitation.

After leaving the interview, she immediately borrowed 170 yuan, bought a typewriter, and practiced typing day and night. In less than a week, she actually did it and succeeded. Entered IBM.

Strive to make progress

In the beginning, Wu Shihong’s life in the company was not easy. In the company, she was basically not exposed to any truly important matters. She was more likely to serve tea. Pour water and do odd jobs for others. She was unwilling but helpless. In an environment full of talented people, she was too inconspicuous after graduating from junior high school.

She had no choice but to work hard to improve herself, squeezing out more than six hours a day to study and improve herself. She is also the most active one in the company, her purpose is to learn how to deal with customers and how to complete business.

Huang Tian paid off her hard work, and in less than half a year, she became a business representative. Such promotion was undoubtedly rapid. It didn't take long for her to be promoted one after another, from local manager in China to general manager of South China and general manager of IBM China Channel. In just twelve years, she went from a handyman to a He became the general manager of Microsoft China Co., Ltd. and the vice president of TCL.

Therefore Wu Shihong is also known as the "Working Queen". Guo Liwen, chairman of Harci Holdings, once said: "If she is willing to join, I am willing to pay an annual salary of 100 million!"

When asked about the secret of success, Wu Shihong behaved very calmly, as if he could predict it long ago. Today's success and yesterday's hard work and struggle are all expected. She replied: "There are no shortcuts in life, and nothing is impossible in life. You just have to work hard." Life is not without shortcuts, but for different people, shortcuts are The meaning is different.

For some people who have capital, family is their shortcut. This is an injustice from God. We can do nothing about it. For those without capital, life is not a shortcut for them. They can only work hard to complete another road to improve themselves. , can it be considered that you have worked hard and are worthy of your heart.
