In 2004, a boss in Zhaoqing owned 1 10 mu of villa land, and the asking price was190,000 mu. After weighing, Chen Peiwen decided to buy the land. He made an appointment with the other party to sign the contract and asked a friend of the Land and Resources Bureau to help him check the gate. This friend first rushed to Sihui to meet a real estate developer, and then the real estate developer drove him to Dinghu District in Zhaoqing to see the land.
They made an appointment to meet at the location of the plot. Friends of the Land and Resources Bureau felt good after reading it, and thought it was worth the money.
After reading it, it was close to 1 1 half past one, and he hurried back to the fourth meeting. Chen Peiwen has prepared a deposit of 6 million yuan and an agreement, and made an appointment with the land seller for dinner at 12 in advance, and then signed the contract.
On his way to another company, he received a phone call from a friend of the Land and Resources Bureau, saying that their car had hit someone, which seemed very serious.
When Chen Peiwen heard that the situation was serious, he said, "You should immediately find a small shop to hide, and get on the bus as soon as my car arrives, otherwise the locals won't let you go."
When he arrived at the scene, he saw more than 50 people there. The real estate developer who caused the accident hid in the police car and dared not show up. The angry crowd overturned all the police cars. When his friend saw his car arrive, he immediately ran out of the canteen and got into the car. Without further ado, Chen Peiwen stepped on the gas pedal and drove off.
Chen Peiwen is very dissatisfied with this matter. He thought it was not simple and smooth, and worried that it was an unlucky omen, so he gave up the deal. He informed the other party by phone and the other party also expressed understanding.
Later, the villa land was sold to Qiaoxin Real Estate. The villa built on this land costs more than 20,000 yuan per meter. If you buy this land, you can earn at least 400 million yuan. I can't blame my friend for not buying this land. I can only say that something is reflected in them.
In the process of doing business for many years, Chen Peiwen has formed his own intuitive judgment. When faced with a project, he decides whether to do it according to his preliminary understanding and judgment, which depends on courage and strength.
But you can't see through it before you do it. Between choices, you can show art.
After several years of silence, Chen Peiwen began to buy land in Zhaoqing in 2006. He bought more than 20 plots of land at a time. At that time, the land used for Zhaoqing Villa was only 200,000 yuan per mu. After Chen Peiwen bought it, the land price soared and later rose to 20 million yuan per mu.
He built four villas for sale, and the rest of the plots were directly transferred. The advantage of this is that the turnover is faster and the funds can be quickly returned to other businesses. If you completely establish yourself and need to use a bank loan, it will be tied to the bank, and you will always owe the bank a lot of money.
Another reason why Chen Peiwen didn't completely build itself is that a production accident happened during the construction.
When developing villas in Dinghu District, a Hunan contractor team contracted the whole construction project through a friend's introduction. When a villa was capped, a worker fell from the roof and was seriously injured on the spot. He died after being taken to the hospital. The contractor paid the remuneration to the workers' families and kept it confidential. Chen Peiwen later learned.
This matter is very sensitive. Although the contractor is fully responsible for this, it still casts a shadow over his mentality. He felt that there were still some risks in construction, so he sold the remaining land.
A few years later, he developed a trade city in the city center with a building area of 20,000 square meters. The price of shops is 17000 yuan per square meter, and the price of commercial houses exceeds 4000 yuan. 20 12 are all sold out.
Later, the real estate situation in Zhaoqing gradually declined and many houses could not be sold. Fortunately, Chen Peiwen's property was sold earlier and was not trapped.
Buy a hotel, be threatened
Doing business is not smooth sailing, and sometimes it faces the threat of violence.
Huaxia Hotel is a three-star hotel, located across the road from Conghua Municipal Government, and is the administrative reception hotel of Conghua Municipal Government. In 2006, the hotel was auctioned publicly, and Chen Peiwen participated in the bidding. The whole process is thrilling.
Those foreign businessmen who paid the deposit to participate in the auction were threatened by the local people. They threatened to cut off anyone's hand if they posted a slogan during the auction.
At the auction site, dozens of burly men stood there, and they adopted man-to-man tactics. Three or four locals stood behind the foreigners who were going to participate in the auction. When they just want to raise a sign, they cough or touch the chair, implying that they are not allowed to raise a sign. Outsiders don't know the situation, and they are scared to death when they see this battle.
Chen Peiwen also has some influential friends in Conghua. Later, I heard that these dozens of people were invited by a construction boss, with a daily salary of 300 and a pack of cigarettes for a meal.
This threat of violence can be seen everywhere. This situation also existed when we were engaged in ship scrapping business, but it has been solved smoothly.
When the hotel was acquired, Chen Peiwen found that the cost of redecorating far exceeded the cost of acquiring the hotel.
Chen Peiwen invited four decoration design companies to put forward design plans, and they reported to the company after making the plans. The most expensive design fee is 6.5438+500,000 yuan, which is a design company in Hong Kong, and the cheapest is a local company in Guangzhou, with only 20 yuan per square meter. After the scheme comes out, by contrast, the design level of Hong Kong companies is still very high.
However, seeing that the budget for decoration is higher than the cost of buying a hotel, I weighed it and sold the hotel.
Join a non-profit organization and let poor patients see the light again.
With this charity platform, everyone donates money and people, and doing a charity activity is like doing a project. After the success of the project, everyone felt a sense of accomplishment.
If there is no reasonable and legal platform, it is not easy to do good, but it may become a bad thing. In fact, many people have been engaged in commercial activities under the guise of public welfare, which has brought adverse effects to charitable organizations.
Guangdong Lions Club is the earliest Lions Club in China. Under its influence, Lions Clubs have been established all over the country, and its counterpart is the Disabled Persons' Federation. 99% of the operating funds of the Lions Club come from member donations, and a small amount of social donations do not depend on government funding.
When the Lions Club was founded, people often called to say that our company was about to open. Please send some people to help us dance the lion. Chen Peiwen smiled and cried. He said that the Lions Club is a charity organization, not a lion dance organization. You should know more about this organization.
Chen Peiwen believes that if we just bow our heads and do good deeds without paying attention to publicity, it will not be conducive to the long-term development of the Lions Club, and we must do some influential activities to win social recognition.
At first, the publicity was not in place, and government officials were afraid to contact the Lions Club. Later, more work was done, and the influence was growing. Government departments are also willing to cooperate with Lions Club to engage in some public welfare projects.
The first service activity of the Lions Club was to send light to Jinggangshan at the end of 2004 10.
In the secular concept, it is enough to do good deeds and donate money with his age and status, but he must do it himself.
He went to the remote mountainous area with the brigade and came and went by train. It took him 15 hours when he went, and 18 hours when he came back.
Near the end of the year, he was busy with his work, but he still left enough time for this trip to Jinggangshan. Business can be done for a lifetime, and it will be done all the time, but charitable activities like this can only be done if all aspects are well connected, which is really commendable. Therefore, members of the Lions Club are willing to give up their careers and do activities.
At this time, I happened to meet the first wave of cold wave. Jinggangshan is located in the mountainous area, and the weather is extremely cold. During their activities, the lowest temperature is only 2 degrees Celsius, which is very challenging for entrepreneurs who have lived in the warm areas of the Pearl River Delta for many years.
When Chen Peiwen and his party arrived in Jinggangshan, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening. They put down their entrepreneurs, turned into migrant workers, and personally carried medical instruments and related equipment to 1 1 pm. It was not until after 1 in the morning that they were able to lie down and rest. At 7 o'clock the next morning, I got up again and began to be busy, taking care of the elderly with cataracts and comforting the families of patients.
Doing charity makes Chen Peiwen feel very happy and relaxed, but doing something in person is far happier than donating money. I used to make a lot of money in business, but I was not happy. Since then, he has been out of control, devoted himself to public welfare undertakings and left him in a hurry.
After the trip to Jinggangshan, Chen Peiwen personally went to Yunnan to take part in the light sending operation. There is a remote area in Yunnan called Xundian, which takes 7 hours by car from Kunming. At that time, the members flew to Kunming and then took the bus. Chen Peiwen always gets airsick. The long flight made him miserable. He vomited violently on the plane and almost vomited his intestines. But as soon as he got off the plane, he cheered up and threw himself into the activity. He and more than 20 lion friends lived in a simple house in the country for 7 days. Get up at 6: 30 in the morning and work until dark. Have lunch and drink cold water every day.
He met Dr. Lu here, and saw Dr. Lu's sharp knife technique. He also saw for the first time that Dr. Lu insisted on completing the operation with the aid of a flashlight in the case of temporary power failure. Dr. Lu's operation speed is very fast, and he can complete a cataract operation in eight minutes, which is the first person in China. At that time, the Shenzhen Lions Club also invited two doctors from Shenzhen to be volunteers. As a result, they performed 6 operations in the fastest day, and Dr. Lu performed 60 operations in one day. In addition, Dr. Lu's surgery has never had any problems. Later, Dr. Lu could perform an average of 60 to 80 operations every day. So far, no doctor can challenge Dr. Lu! Dr. Lu is the vice president of a hospital in Kunming and has long cooperated with the Lions Club. The cost of a cataract operation is about 1000 yuan, most of which is used to buy medical consumables, and the operation fee charged by doctors is very low.
Helping cataract patients to see the light again not only helps patients, but also helps a family.
A person with cataract needs a special person to take care of him and cure the patient, which is equivalent to liberating the whole family. For poor families, every labor force is very important. Even if the elderly don't go to the ground, they should cook with their children at home or grow vegetables in the garden to reduce the burden on their families. However, once the old man suffers from cataract, not only can he not work for his family, but his family also needs to take care of him, which adds more burden to the family. A local farmer once told the members of the Lions Club that the old man in his family had cataracts and his family had to go out to work. He left a piece of pork for the old man and put it on the stove. The old man can't see it. He groped for it and put it in a nearby bucket. When his family came back, he found the meat stinking.
/kloc-Tian Xueyou, a 0/5-year-old boy, went up the mountain to collect firewood, and his eyes were scratched by branches, leading to traumatic blindness. There was no money to operate on him at home, so he dropped out of school because he couldn't read the words on the blackboard clearly. When Dr. Lu finished the operation for him and asked him if he could see it, he said he couldn't see it clearly. Seeing this scene, Chen Peiwen even remembered that when he was fifteen, he dropped out of school because of his poor family and went to work in the production team. Today, he often regrets that he has learned too little. If the child is blind, he will not only lose the opportunity to go to school in his life, but also cast a shadow over his future life. Thought of here, Chen Peiwen's expectant heart suddenly sank, tossing and turning all night, it is difficult to sleep.
When he opened the gauze the next day after surgery, Tian Xueyou clearly counted the fingers of Dr. Lu and read the words in the distance. At that moment, indescribable happiness filled Chen Peiwen's heart, and tears could not help flowing down. He didn't cry when his father died. Let the tears of happiness and happiness flow freely at this moment!
After returning from Yunnan, he put down all his business and devoted himself to the work of the Lions Club. In 2006-07, he was awarded the honor of captain of the Pearl River Service Team of the Lions Club of Guangdong.
A few years later, I learned that Tian Xueyou not only recovered smoothly, but also entered a military school when he grew up!
For more than 20 years, they have helped thousands of cataract patients to see the light again, and Chen Peiwen has also been awarded the honor of being a good man in China by China Civilization Office.
