Recently, a number of China enterprises have been "sanctioned" by the United States.

Among them, Luxshare, a listed company, was the first to bear the brunt:

On October 21th, Luxshare was investigated by the US International Trade Commission for alleged patent infringement.

As a result, Luxshare's share price plummeted and its market value evaporated by tens of billions.

the company also responded quickly: we hold core patents and have hired lawyers to cooperate with the investigation, which will not have a substantial impact on the enterprise.

As the leading enterprise of Apple's industrial chain in China, Luxshare has always been a dark horse in the science and technology circle, with a market value of hundreds of billions.

Some people say:

The helm behind such a powerful Luxshare used to be a poor "working girl": Wang Laichun.

She worked in Foxconn for 11 years, from the assembly line to the head of the class, managing thousands of people.

Later, she resigned and went it alone, and founded Lixun. After 21 years of development, she became a strong rival of her old club Foxconn.

There was a rumor that the rapid development of Luxshare frightened Guo Taiming, and a special working group was set up specifically for Wang Laichun.

However, Foxconn denied it.

In the list of the most influential business women in China in 2121, Wang Laichun ranked sixth, far surpassing Wu Yajun and Du Fu.

People who have met Wang Laichun say that she is low-key and friendly and introverted.

it is not easy for a woman with only junior high school education to build such a huge business empire.

behind this, there are many places worth pondering.

From Wang Laichun, I saw an ordinary person, five steps to successfully counterattack.

In 1963, Wang Laichun was born in a small mountain village in Shantou, Guangdong Province. After graduating from junior high school, she farmed with her parents at home.

There are two brothers at home, one runs a small shop and the other works outside.

In 1988, 25-year-old Wang Laichun left the mountain village and came to Shenzhen.

This year, the State Council passed the Regulations on Encouraging Taiwan Province Compatriots to Invest, and many Taiwan Province people brought money to set up factories in the Mainland.

Guo Taiming also came to set up a factory for producing computer connectors outside Shenzhen: Foxconn.

Wang Laichun was among the first batch of 151 women workers.

In the factory, all the women workers live in Datong shop, which is sultry and humid, dark and narrow, and the rice they eat is "red rice", which is cooked red because of the poor water quality.

at that time, water and electricity were often cut off.

when there is a power outage, you have to rest, but even if there is a call in the middle of the night, you have to get up and start work, often for more than ten hours.

if the water is cut off, workers will have to go to a temporary point one kilometer away to wash their faces and brush their teeth and go to the toilet, and the conditions are even worse.

Many female workers can't stand it. They just run home, but Wang Laichun never says a word of complaint.

when everyone else is resting, she will secretly get up to catch up with the work, only to be found by the supervisor of Taiwan Province a few times.

"I don't want others to see it. Let's do it together." She just feels like doing more.

Foxconn has attached great importance to training since its establishment. Unlike most people, Wang Laichun always studies very hard and takes notes with notebooks.

in order to help increase the yield, she went through all the stations, tried one by one, found out the reasons, and fed back the data. None of these things were asked of her.

In Foxconn in 2111, she never took time off, and slowly became the head of the class, which is the highest position of mainlanders in Taiwan-funded factories, with thousands of employees in charge.

as the saying goes, the harder you work, the luckier you are.

In fact, people who really work hard have never longed for luck. They just want to do well what others can do, and do well what others do.

Zhou Xiaoguang, known as the "queen of ornaments", is also a person who pursues the ultimate in the field of ornaments.

In 1985, she set up a stall to sell ornaments in Yiwu market. Unlike others who only took goods from their superiors, most of her ornaments were made by herself.

without drawings and materials, she went to the arts and crafts factories in Shanghai and Guangzhou to buy some materials, and asked experts for process knowledge. After she got it back, she designed it herself and processed it at night.

The original design was not very nice, but compared with those homogeneous products, it was more distinctive and sold well.

But Zhou Xiaoguang doesn't want to keep setting up stalls. She tries to go to Hong Kong to study and visit.

When she came back, she rented two rooms, and at the same time she sold products, she also represented two high-end accessories in Hong Kong.

Many people found it incomprehensible.

Zhou Xiaoguang's original intention is to learn from others, improve his own design and make the ornaments bigger.

Later, Xinguang Jewelry Company was established, insisting on product differentiation and innovation, requiring hundreds of jewelry design drawings every day, and only 61% of them can be selected.

Best of all, it costs more than $21,111 to buy a design.

In the constant challenge, Xinguang jewelry quickly became the first in China and sold overseas. Even Swarovski people came to visit the factory.

it's not hard to see that they didn't have a clear plan at first, but they just held a mentality that I want to do better than others.

others score 51 points, and I score 81 points; Others do 81 points, and I do 111 points.

when you want to do better than others, you are essentially willing to pay a lot more than others, and in the process, it will also enhance your commitment to difficulties.

Only by increasing your skills little by little can the road be clear step by step.

In 1999, Wang Laichun, who never took time off, took more than ten days off.

after returning to Foxconn, she submitted a resignation report to Guo Taiming, indicating that she was going to start a business and asked Guo Taiming for help.

Of course, this surprised Guo Taiming, but he said:

Wang Laichun, who used to be the head of the class, has many opportunities to make money. She can take advantage of her own advantages and participate in Foxconn suppliers, so she can easily make money.

besides, to achieve the highest position in a Taiwan-funded factory is an advantage that many people can't wait for.

But Wang Laichun's ambition is not here. What she sees is another factory of her own.

She went home to discuss with her brother, and the two of them took out all their savings, and borrowed from relatives and friends to collect more than 111,111 yuan to buy Hong Kong Lixun Company and set up their own factory in Xixiang, Shenzhen.

Lixun, which has just been established, can get the same orders as Foxconn at first, producing electronic connecting wires and connectors.

This business is very small, but Wang Laichun works very hard and applies all the management methods she has learned. "The slogans of the factory are all quotations from Guo Taiming, just like Foxconn."

In Wang Laichun's view, Foxconn can develop from a small factory into a large enterprise, which proves that the management method is correct.

from 1991 to 1999, factories sprang up all over Shenzhen, and people from all over the country poured in. Wang Laichun, a middle-level manager of Foxconn, must have noticed for a long time.

that's why she's taking the most crucial step.

On the other hand, there are thousands of people in Qian Qian who see the opportunity, and those who can take action must be the best.

Chen Ailian of Wan Feng Aote is also such a person.

Chen Ailian used to work in a textile factory under her husband's jurisdiction. Because of her outstanding working ability, she was transferred to a factory that produces aluminum products.

Soon after, she found that the internationally accepted automobile wheel hub was transformed from steel wheel hub to aluminum wheel hub, which gave her great inspiration. She hardly hesitated, so she decided to go it alone.

I met with several young people in the factory, borrowed 511,111 yuan as working capital, got four gravity casting machines on credit, and had no money to rent a house, so I set up a shed between two other people's factories.

The hardest thing is that Chen Ailian took down a brand-new Japanese-imported Yamaha motorcycle hub that her husband gave her and used it as a test product without a trial sample.

At the same time, she works with the technical team to measure technical parameters and draw drawings every day, and she is busy day and night.

after the first batch of products were made, there was no market, so Chen Ailian went out to run in person and won more than 111 orders.

With this courage and boldness, Chen Ailian led Wan Feng Auto to go public successfully, and made several transformations to become the leader in the aluminum wheel segment.

Every entrepreneur is brave. They don't take the easy way, and they don't seek the fast way.

Entrepreneurship is difficult. Only by doing the difficult and correct things can you have a greater chance of success.

most of the time, the easiest way is the most dangerous and easy to fail.

Lao Tzu said: He who conquers others is strong, and he who conquers himself is strong.

The prerequisite for success is to let actions overcome inner fears.

in 2113, Motorola and Samsung mobile phones were in full bloom.

This year, Foxconn won orders from Motorola, and its business volume rose sharply. At the same time, costs and manpower have also increased significantly.

Guo Taiming quit, and he said at the meeting,

The news soon reached Wang Laichun's ear, and she decided to take over the orders that Foxconn could not finish.

First of all, follow the pace of Foxconn, and entrust the orders to some processing plants in Kunshan for cooperative production.

the second step is to transform Luxshare into a joint-stock company and build a second factory in Shenzhen.

the third step is to build your own industrial chain layout and invest and build a factory in Ji' an, Jiangxi.

These steps cooperated with Foxconn's measures and quickly won a large number of orders from Foxconn. Those orders with low value, weak profit and small total amount were almost gladly accepted by Wang Laichun.

In the next five years, Lixun grew stronger by making orders that Foxconn didn't want.

according to the prospectus published by Luxshare in 2111, orders received from Foxconn accounted for 41-51% of the operating income.

In the outside world, Luxshare is recognized as the younger brother and shadow company of Foxconn.

for Wang laichun, being able to rely on Foxconn at that time was the best choice, and he didn't worry about orders and made profits, even if he was firmly trapped.

Therefore, before Lixun went public in 2111, Wang Laichun did not forget to bring in Guo Taiming's younger brother and agreed to subscribe for 4 million shares in Luxshare.

The development process of Luxshare, from connecting lines, transferring orders from Foxconn to planning for listing, is the path of Wang Laichun's constant enlargement with the stage.

people who achieve great things know that if they are sure of a road, they must follow it immediately.

This is especially true in He Qiaonv, an oriental garden.

He Qiaonv used to have a stable job in the Bureau of Landscape Architecture, but she quit her job and took the TOEFL test. For various reasons, she couldn't go out and went home to plant flowers and trees with her father.

During the Asian Games in 1991, He Qiaonv and his father went to Beijing to hold a bonsai fair.

That year, the Asian Games attracted much attention, with more delegations and athletes than the previous ten. On the landscape, there were various green plants in various shapes, such as Panda Panpan.

Here, He Qiaonv saw people's love for bonsai for the first time. Many foreigners bought hundreds of bonsai without blinking.

He Qiaonv is aware of this business opportunity.

After the Asian Games, she quickly rented a greenhouse next to the university school and went to Guangzhou to buy a batch of bonsai, focusing on those high-end hotels and office buildings.

He Qiaonv speaks English and has a glib tongue, and the sales volume is good all the way.

when she is free, she often takes care of the plants that are sold, which leaves a deep impression on people, and many people take the initiative to introduce her business.

After a period of time, He Qiaonv observed that there were almost no competitors to make bonsai, so he quickly raised funds to set up the Oriental Garden Art Center.

more than ten years later, the A-share of Oriental Garden was listed, becoming the first garden share.

if you want to be strong, you have to take advantage of the situation, and you have to constantly change your eyes and strategies.

Wang Jianlin said that the heart and the stage are gradually enlarged.

rather, a person's ability and ambition are progressive.

Do what you want to do first. Time and experience will make you grow. When your ability is accumulated enough, ambition is ambition.

otherwise, it is not smart to talk about ambition rashly.

Wang Laichun said, "It must be a handsome bird that can fly with the phoenix."

Actually, she doesn't just want to be Foxconn, but wants to be a real Phoenix.

When learning enough excellent experience, Wang Laichun planned the layout for Lixun:

With the relationship of Foxconn as a bargaining chip, he won orders from Lenovo, and soon won orders from several major customers of Tongfang, Founder and Flextronics.

transform the single agent processing business into independent research and development, and develop the independent brand of desktop cable.

with the support of these big customers, Luxshare has developed rapidly and will be listed soon.

in the second year of listing, Wang Laichun officially started the road of mergers and acquisitions.

for five years, continuous mergers and acquisitions have made Lixun form a basic pattern of "headquarters in Dongguan, production in Jiangxi and research and development in Kunshan", involving electronic consumer products, communication products, automobiles and medical products.

This makes people call Wang Laichun an "octopus" and madly absorbs nutrients from the outside world.

A truly powerful person is not born awesome, but knows how to make himself stronger constantly.

Jiang Guilan, the tableware supplier of KFC and McDonald's and the owner of the world's largest injection molding factory, is just such a person.

in the first few years, the factory produced everything, such as washbasins, clothes hangers, tableware, etc.
