When the reporter interviewed Wang Jian, he was checking the placement of goods in the supermarket. Wang Jian, 43 years old this year, has been exposed to the wind and sun all year round, making him dark, and he looks older than his peers, but when he speaks, his voice is loud and he looks full of energy. "I'm used to being busy, and now I can't sit still all day in the comfort of my office," he says. "
Wang Jian can be said to be self-made, and today's family business is what he has worked hard bit by bit. In 1997, after graduating from junior high school, he went to senior high school, because his father died in a car accident while working in Changzhou, the vehicle that caused the accident escaped, and the family fell into a trough, 17-year-old Wang Jian came to Changzhou from Xuzhou to deal with his father's funeral, and then, he stayed in Changzhou by himself, and earned more than 400 yuan by picking up discarded pesticide bottles in the farmland and selling them, and came to the streets of Danyang Lucheng Town, which borders Changzhou, to sell melon seeds and peanuts. He said, "When I first started selling melon seeds and peanuts, I went to the wholesale market to get raw melon seeds, and because I didn't have the money to buy a roasting machine, I used homemade oil drums. Stove. Wok. The shovels are fried by hand and then sold on the side of the street. ”
Wang Jian introduced that after he set up a stall on the side of the road at the Taiding Bridgehead of the Grand Canal in Lucheng Town to sell fried goods for a year, he bought a small fried goods machine and sold it on the street. Wang Jian is very industrious, getting up early every day and greedily pulling machines and roasted goods to the street to sell.
Through several years of hard work, Wang Jian saved a little money, so he rented a store, the area was larger, not only the variety of fried goods increased, but he also opened a teahouse that is convenient for the elderly to relax.
In 2003, he applied for the self-employed business license of "Wang's Roasted Goods Shop" and officially embarked on the road of entrepreneurship.
Recalling the days of entrepreneurship, Wang Jian thought not of himself, but of his wife. At that time, whenever I woke up in the early hours of the morning, my wife would wake up early to help me guard the stall and take care of my two young children. Talking about the past, Wang Jian felt deeply guilty.
Treat people with integrity and build a supermarket for the people
As the business became bigger and the business area became more and more narrow, Wang Jian moved several stores, and in 2018, he rented more than 700 square meters of stores in the market town of Lucheng Town and founded Wang Jian Fruit Supermarket, which mainly deals in fruits.

Slowly, Wang Jian's reputation for honesty in business began to spread, not only for customers to see, but also for some large customers such as guesthouses, hotels and restaurants to take the initiative to find him and buy the fruits he operated.
To do business, you need to make friends, and the friendship with business partners is accumulated little by little. After the business grows, Wang Jian often admonishes employees, "Don't worry too much about the profit and loss of each business, otherwise the cooperation with business partners will not last long!"”
In 2023, on the basis of operating Wang Jian Fruit Supermarket, he will establish a large-scale life supermarket called "Wangjiagou" in Lucheng Town, with a business area of 3,200 square meters.

In order to provide more preferential treatment and welfare for the masses, since the beginning of this year, Wang Jian has often carried out supermarket activities to benefit the people in the countryside, so that villagers can eat fresh, healthy and delicious food at their doorstep. Wang Jian said that he took the opportunity of carrying out the supermarket to the countryside to benefit the people, and has created a convenient shopping WeChat group in 11 administrative villages in Lucheng Town. "
The original intention remains the same, and actively repays the society
In the interview, Wang Jian specifically mentioned a touching past: At the end of 1997, due to difficulties in capital turnover, there was no money to purchase. With the mood of trying it out, he told the neighbor surnamed He about the difficulties, but unexpectedly, the neighbor didn't say a word, so he lent him 8,000 yuan to help him tide over the difficulties, and Wang Jian was grateful.
Along the way, I never forget the help of others, so I will help others when I have the opportunity!Wang Jian said so and did so.
Wang Jian now runs two supermarkets that employ a total of 30 employees, and he always cares about them as if they were his family. Qin Jiyong, an employee from Yunnan Province who works at his supermarket, was thrilled by the fact that Wang Jian let the employee live in his home to help him save money on rent and utility bills.
Over the years, Wang Jian has been enthusiastic about public welfare, and also insisted on making charitable donations, every Double Ninth Festival, he has to visit the elderly in the nursing home in Lucheng Town, and give holiday gifts to the elderly;Whenever it snows, he always organizes employees to brave the cold to go to the streets to clear the snow and ice ......
The biggest benefit to the supermarket is to keep food safety.
