As many people know, China has all kinds of new wealth every year. After the replacement of the richest man, the legend and experience of the new richest man will be well known. Some of them lost huge sums of money, others turned defeat into victory and successfully counterattacked. These stories will make young entrepreneurs excited and become an example for everyone to learn.
So how hard is it to start from scratch? Take Ma Yun, Ma Hua Teng and Wang Jianlin as examples, because these three are the most famous rich people. One is to earn money from women, the other is to earn money from young people, and the other is to earn money from old people. Why do you say that? Ma Yun's e-commerce allows women to find their own paradise. The game of horses makes young people find the source of happiness. Wang Jianlin's house allows many middle-aged and elderly people to save money to buy their own houses. There are also many stories about their young entrepreneurs. Did they really start from scratch? After seeing the fathers of Ma Yun, Ma Hua Teng and Wang Jianlin, everyone will understand.
I. Ma Yun
Everyone must have heard of Ma Yun's struggle history. At that time, Ma Yun failed in the college entrance examination and worked as a waiter, secretary, porter and even tricycle before starting a business. It seems that in everyone's subconscious, Ma Yun's family is not good or even difficult, otherwise he would not be so far away from home. But in fact, Ma Yun was not only well-off, but even his family's economic situation exceeded that of more than 99% families at that time.
Ma Yun's father Ma Laifa, a native of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, is the fourth and fifth chairman of Zhejiang Quyi Artists Association. Enjoy a high reputation in the art world. It is precisely because Ma Yun's family is very good that he has the opportunity to receive a good education since he was a child. In underdeveloped times, he also had access to English and computers.
In the process of starting a business, Ma Yun also got help from many family members. In the past, Ma Yun failed to start a business four times. For ordinary people, the cost of starting a business is very high. He can't go on without the help of his family. 1999, Ma Yun founded Alibaba with 500,000 venture funds. In fact, even now, 500 thousand is not a small sum for many families, let alone before.
Second, horses
Ma Hua Teng once said: "I am just an ordinary person, living in an ordinary family, and my house is a little big. But in fact, the "ordinary family" in Ma's mouth is not ordinary. Ma Hua Teng's father is called Ma Chenshu. Although Ma Chenshu has only a high school education, he once worked as an accountant and statistician in the Ministry of Communications. Later, he served as the vice president of Shenzhen Yantian Port Co., Ltd., and in this way, Ma is simply a rich second generation!
When Ma founded Tencent, his mother was the legal representative of Tencent, his father helped him manage Tencent, and he also taught him the accumulated experience in enterprise development and management for many years. In addition, Ma Chenshu has another "background"-two richest men in China, Li Ka-shing, are from Chaoshan.
Li Ka-shing has been cooperating with Yantian on the project. As the chairman of Yantian, Ma Chenshu naturally has many friendships with Li Ka-shing. Later, Li Ka-shing's son Li Zekai invested in Tencent. There must be parents' influence, too.
Third, Wang Jianlin.
As the richest man in China, Wang Jianlin is not an ordinary person in an ordinary family. Wang Jianlin's father is Wang Yiquan. He joined the Red Army in his early years and was a respected old revolutionary. Besides, Wang Yiquan is the principal of Sichuan Forestry School, which is why Wang Jianlin joined the army. From the warrior to the head of the regiment, Wang Jianlin came out as the district head, then took over the real estate transformation project and officially entered the real estate. Before this, Ma Yun also teased Wang Jianlin, saying that he was rich and could afford a watch in the 1980s.
