Reading Notes of the Biography of Shi Jian in the Songs of the South 1 "The tobacco industry itself bears the original sin, and the state practices monopoly. If you make money in this industry and get high profits, your sense of accomplishment is likely to be discounted. "
I heard adults talk about the tobacco king a long time ago. As the only person in the industry who can be happy in public opinion, he is already a big boss. In those ingenious online articles, all kinds of ethos are surging, occasionally mentioning the cost consciousness of baking wine with corn as a child, emphasizing seriousness, reveling in the legendary life of hardcore, and so on. From time to time, someone will jump out and point to the spine, embezzle or sell oranges by connections. I think anyone who has had social experience will know what corruption is and what seamless operation is. Of course, mistakes are mistakes. As for the oranges sold by contacts, they can all be indexed by hand. I doubt that they have even read these two biographies. The particularity of the industry, bit by bit, is also used to it.
"Life is busy, the competition is short and long, but there are not many successes and failures, and the gains and losses are inseparable." -Shen Fu.
I am more interested in this old man who has experienced the age of crossing the river by feeling the stones. Chu Shijian's lifelong pursuit and responsibility for quality may be the highlight with the longest wavelength reflected in his legendary life. The temperament of a person's life can't be born. The environment in which Chu lived as a child made him pragmatic and willing to work, but not only that, he also had to pursue something, even a certain belief. It has been mentioned many times in the biography that the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway built by the French in Yunnan can be called the Michelin bullet train with black technology, the exquisite canned biscuit box left by the train, and the well-organized small station managed by several people all made him feel the internal combustion. This is the industry's inspiration to him, and this power is concrete and direct. This may be a matter of accompanying Chu all his life, scraping the waste residue in the boiler of Gasa sugar factory, counting the smoke spots in Yuxi tobacco fields and seeing the green orchards on Ailao Mountain. Maybe childhood pictures will appear in his mind. Those children are chasing the white Michelin bullet train excitedly, and he thinks he is one of them. This may or may seem to be the so-called curse of unfulfilled childhood wishes.
The life track of Reading Notes II of Shi Jian Biography of Songs of the South is close to a century. From the age of 15, the young man was forced to take on the responsibility of the whole family. At the age of 2 1 year, he suffered a second heavy blow. Because he insisted on principles and failed to meet the selfish demands of the villain, he was remembered and sent to the farm by the "Rightists" and worked all the time. After 17 years of hard work, I turned a small factory in a small town in Yuxi into an international brand, benefiting tens of millions of people and creating 80 billion profits and taxes for the country, while my own income was only 800,000. Finally, because the 4 million yuan that my friends with no interest relationship gave me to improve my life could not explain the source of funds, I was jailed, which led to the income reform of state-owned enterprises. From life imprisonment to five-year commutation, I came back.
Three major blows in life, because of the positive and serious attitude towards life and work, people can always make simple and needy friends when they are at the bottom of their lives. Even in prison, many people who have been helped will leave some money when they visit. When they are released from prison for five years, this money alone will be nearly 6.5438+0 million yuan.
No matter what people do, they must have awe and abide by the laws of nature and market. We should work wholeheartedly to achieve our goals, but at the same time, we should seek truth from facts, learn to balance interests and learn to be willing to give up.
A person should take his work and life seriously, and also take seriously the people around him, be worthy of what he has done and the people he has been with, and leave the mark of life in every place where he works.
In Chu Shijian, the so-called "tobacco kingdom", "Chu orange" and other industries and wealth are tangible and calculable things. His spirit, concept and way of doing things are truly priceless and truly inherited.
Time is like a river, running forward without hesitation. I hope to look back on the years and make a deep confession.
Reading Notes of Biography of Shi Jian in Songs of the South 3 Recently, I was reading Biography of Shi Jian in Songs of the South. I talked about his work in a sugar factory and a cigarette factory earlier. Although I haven't read all the books, I am already very touched, so I wrote them down in advance for future reference.
The first point is the win-win relationship with the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, especially in tobacco factories, helping tobacco farmers grow high-quality tobacco leaves and building roads leading to the fields. Thousands of flue-cured tobacco teams provide professional technical support. These are all aimed at increasing farmers' income, mobilizing farmers' enthusiasm, making the upstream of the industrial chain develop better, and fundamentally ensuring the stability of the supply chain and the quality of raw materials. For the downstream, although the product is in short supply, it will not raise the price at will, and everyone can accept the price increase of one yuan a year. Give agents in the downstream of the industrial chain enough profits, give them the motivation to push their own cigarettes, and at the same time give consumers reasonable prices so that they can't afford them, so as to occupy the market and promote the development of the company with the improvement of scale.
This reminds people that the domestic liquor industry, whether it is high-end Maotai Wuliangye or mid-end Yanghe Gujing Distillery, is thinking about raising prices once a year or even twice a year. Ordinary people can't buy a few bottles a month. Is this sustainable for a shrinking liquor industry? Hongtashan cigarettes used to be popular all over the country, and there was always a pack in dacron's shirt pocket. It doesn't seem so hot now, does it So will Maotai Wuliangye, which is so popular now, still have its present status in ten or twenty years?
Chu Shijian's internal management is still impressive. For example, if he can increase production and produce high-quality products, he will do it vigorously and create conditions to do it, instead of being timid and unwilling to invest. For the management of personnel, it can achieve very effective incentives, so it will greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of personnel. It can improve the life of employees and make everyone work enthusiastically, which is really in place.
Chu also has excellent negotiation skills, whether it is to mobilize the masses to pay food during the Anti-Japanese War, to deal with difficult employees during the business operation period, or to communicate with the higher authorities. Especially when they ask the government for resources, they can always get what they want, such as the foreign exchange quota for buying equipment, such as the salary system reform that needs the approval of the city and the province, and so on. Chu Shijian's greatness lies in that he can speak with data when negotiating, and he can clearly tell the other party where his interests lie. This is exactly what Franklin said. If you want to convince people, you have to replace reason with interest. Chu Shijian, on the other hand, can accurately grasp the proportion of interests and truth in negotiations, and at the same time use this to serve him.
Chu can also be clear in business, so when leading employees to work, he has a bottom in his heart and others are willing to listen to his command. Another advantage of being familiar with the business is that they are not afraid of being threatened by employees. At present, many leaders of some enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises, are ignorant or unskilled in business. When their subordinates ask for resignation or transfer, these leaders are easily kidnapped. Therefore, leaders must understand the business, at least the most basic business development methods and processes must be very clear. You can't just talk empty words, or just know some big truths and repeat them.
I haven't finished reading this book. I think Chu Shijian still has a lot to learn. Every point is actually an article.
Notes on the Biography of Shi Jian of the Songs of the South 4 When this biography was first published, I wanted to buy it. After all, the success of Chu Orange once again pushed the legendary old man to people. Because it is not convenient for people to buy Chinese books overseas, they can finally browse e-books quickly in Douban reading.
For our generation, we may only have heard of Hongtashan, but we don't know much about this brand and Chu Shijian. If it weren't for Chu orange, Chu re-entered people's sight, I wouldn't even know about the century lawsuit. So when I learned that this only personal biography authorized by Chu Shijian was published, I felt I had to read it. Perhaps, like many people, I am most curious about how a person suddenly fell into a trough when he achieved great glory, and then bottomed out again at the age of 80.
Chu Shijian is a soldier with a unique sense of responsibility and perseverance. Nowadays, many outstanding entrepreneurs are from the military, such as Wang Shi, the boss of Vanke who claims to be a fan of Chu, and Wang Jianlin, the boss of Wanda who is now in the limelight. These people have a * * * characteristic, dare to think and do, and be highly effective. Compared with his predecessors, Chu has a more obvious sense of social responsibility and advanced consciousness. This is the mark left by their special times. No matter what they do, they always put the country first and consider the whole nation. This is very scarce in our present era. More people are starting from themselves, how to make themselves rich quickly. We can explore the phenomenon of focusing only on ourselves through poverty and helping the world, but the mentality of pursuing shortcuts makes us more impetuous and unwilling to spend time and effort to achieve our goals. Zhu was classified as a rightist and was reformed through labor for 20 years. 5 1 year-old, started his career in Yuxi cigarette factory. It took him more than ten years to turn a dying small factory into a producer of national taxes and profits and a world-leading enterprise. He was later imprisoned and nearly 75 years old when he was released on parole. After going to prison, losing his daughter and dying, if it were anyone else, he would basically accept his fate and spend the rest of his life peacefully, but it took Chu another ten years to prove himself to people again. His motivation is to make a difference in his later years, so that the life of himself and his wife is not so embarrassing. First, he is still unconvinced. Now Chu orange sells well all over the country, and his story is regarded as an inspirational example by everyone.
The story of Chu Orange and Chu is really inspiring, but who can do his own business even at the age of 70 like Chu? Today's society is too eager for quick success and instant benefit. Under such circumstances, young people are also eager to accumulate wealth quickly. A 70-year-old man can be a blockbuster for ten years, but for the young generation who are struggling and have plenty of time, ten years is too long. As a struggling young man, I often lament that time waits for no one. Looking around, some people of the same age have a successful career, and some get married and have children, and they will have an anxious and impetuous mentality. But time is fair, and everything you pay will be rewarded in the end. In a way, time is really a force that transcends everything. It can make your bit by bit experience and efforts finally burst into strength, and it can also dilute any setbacks and failures.
Chu Lao's sense of responsibility and overall situation, which only belonged to their era, may be difficult to learn, but we can learn from his actions and the spirit of pursuing Excellence. Down-to-earth, hands-on, if you want to do something, you must do your best. This is the best shortcut that everyone can master, but it is easier said than done.
Finally, I want to say to myself, cherish the present, do what you want, pursue perfection, and time will give you a beautiful answer.
