This Ferrari no longer belongs to me, it belongs to the Chinese.
If one day in the future China builds a memorial hall for reform and opening up, I will donate this car to the state. ”
The name of the person who said this was calledLi Xiaohua
Suddenly, how can this guy be so good at blowing.
But when you look at the license plate number of this car, this string of numbers gives all the explanations for this statement.
In 1992, Ferrari manufacturers came to the Asian Games Village in China to hold a sales event, which was more appropriate to call it an "exhibition" than a sale.
Because China was relatively backward at that time, the manufacturers at the event site were very simple, and they didn't think that they could sell a car.
Their plan was to go home as soon as the exhibition was completed.
The car show is parking a Ferrari codenamed 348 red, which is equipped with 3With a 4lv8 engine and a top speed of 281 km/h, it was the most popular sports car in Ferrari at the time.
During the few days of the exhibition, people who watched the excitement on the scene every day were able to surround the inner and outer three floors, and everyone had a strong curiosity about this "fantastic" car.
After all, under the social conditions at that time, such luxury cars were not often seen on TV. Soon, the time for the exhibition ended.
Just as the staff was about to withdraw the cabinet, a Chinese man stood up:I bought this car, you make a price!
For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the man, and their eyes were full of shock.
Even several staff members at the scene expressed surprise.
After further communication, the staff calculated the vehicle's ** and taxes in detail and reported it148.The landing price of 88.88 million
I thought that after hearing this, the man would retreat, but to everyone's surprise, the man actually chose to pay in full and won the Ferrari on the spot.
This action shocked everyone, and then the audience erupted in boiling cheers.
You know, this ** is equivalent to 20,000 times the salary of ordinary people at that time, and you can even directly win a set of courtyard houses in the inner ring in Beijing.
When signing the sales contract, the man wrote the three big words "Li Xiaohua" in a dashing manner, and the Ferrari vice president next to him looked shocked.
The vice president tentatively asked him why he wanted to buy the car.
Li Xiaohua replied very casually: Collecting luxury cars is my hobby, and I bought what I liked when I saw it!
At this moment, he didn't think about it that much at all.
Who knows, the Ferrari manufacturer is even more excited than him.
A few days later, the manufacturer communicated with Beijing ** and held a grand handover ceremony for Li Xiaohua in the prayer hall of the Temple of Heaven.
At the timeMayor of BeijingDirectly as the host of the handover ceremony.
Subsequently, Li Xiaohua got the historic Beijing A00001 black background white license plate, which just happened to match "China's first Ferrari".
Who says Chinese can't afford luxury cars? Isn't this a slap in the face with strength!
In order to commemorate this moment, the reporter of the French newspaper Le Figaro came to interview.
After the interview, a caption was published**:
Li Xiaohua, who is in a suit and leather shoes, stands in front of a red Ferrari with a "big brother" in his hand, with the solemn Tiananmen Tower in the background.
This ** is meaningful.
His mystery has aroused the curiosity of many people, what kind of person is this, buying a luxury sports car is the same as buying groceries?
After learning about his past experience, I found that Li Xiaohua was not simple.
It only took him 10 years to go from a small role such as a boiler worker and a small trader to a billionaire and even the richest man in Beijing.
Li Xiaohua's family history, in addition to the word "lucky", is more due to his innate business talent.
On January 18, 1951, Li Xiaohua was born in an ordinary family in Qianliang Hutong, Beijing.
There are four brothers, and he is the third. The people of that era were really simple, and they were really poor.
The parents were reluctant to eat the cooked rice, so they drew a cross in the pot and gave it to their four sons.
The old couple dealt with some pots and soaked pickles to make do with one meal after another.
When he went to school, Li Xiaohua's home was about 3 kilometers away from the school.
In order to save money, he insisted on walking to and from school every day.
Perhaps it was this experience that made him addicted to cars as an adult, and he loved to collect all kinds of luxury cars.
In 1968, Li Xiaohua followed thousands of intellectual young people to the Great Northern Wilderness.
In the Heilongjiang Production and Construction Corps, he worked for 8 years.
During this time, he met a beloved girl.
It's a pity that this relationship ended without a problem.
The girl was born in a cadre family, and Li Xiaohua is just a poor boy from a low-level family.
The woman's parents tried their best to oppose it, and the two were forced to break up.
This love made Li Xiaohua understand a truth: love without material is a plate of loose sand.
In 1977, Li Xiaohua returned to Beijing, and in order not to add to the burden on his family, he worked as a boiler worker and cook, trying various jobs.
In his spare time, he began to think about how to make money.
At the same time, the spring breeze of reform and opening up has blown all over the motherland, and going to the sea to do business has become the trend of the times.
Li Xiaohua followed up to start a clothing business, but what really changed the path of his life was a cold drink machine.
In the summer, one day he went to Guangzhou to buy goods, and saw a cold drink machine made in the United States in the exhibition hall.
When you pour a drink at room temperature into the machine, it becomes cold in an instant.
This shocked Li Xiaohua.
It's a hot summer, and if I can get this machine back, it's a big deal. ”
Just do it. He didn't go into those fashionable T-shirts and jeans anymore, and asked the counter lady directly how to sell cold drink machines.
Said the counter lady3600 yuan, but this is a sample, not sold.
If it was an ordinary person, it might be okay, but Li Xiaohua refused to give up.
I invited the mall manager to dinner and bought cigarettes to give away, and I was stunned to get the sample machine.
And just like that, the gears of fate began to turn.
Li Xiaohua transported the cold drink machine to the most prosperous Zhonghai place on the Beidaihe seashore to set up a stall.
Unsurprisingly, business is unusually hot:
2 jiao a cup of drink, throwing away the cost and street sharing, made him earn more than 100,000 this summer. 
Li Xiaohua's vision does not stop there.
He knew in his heart that the cold drink machine could only make huge profits for a while, and it would not be long before many people imitated it.
Rather than waiting for the undersupply to turn into an oversupply, it is better to take a break from other transactions in time.
The following year, he found treasure from the south and brought back videos of martial arts and gunfights from Hong Kong and Taiwan that were rare at that time.
Subsequently, he opened the store in the name of the first video hall in Hebei.
But in just a few years, he went from a poor boy to a "millionaire".
In those days, 10,000 yuan households were quite good people, let alone million yuan households.
But Li Xiaohua is a very ambitious person.
For the strong, ambition is the greatest strength and capital.
At the right time, a friend said to him that if he wants to do big business, he should go abroad to study, maybe there will be different business opportunities for reference.
If someone else changes, it may be over with a smile, but Li Xiaohua is different, he takes his friend's words to heart.
In 1985, 34-year-old Li Xiaohua bid farewell to his wife and young son and went to Japan.
In order to go deeper into the management of the first level of business management in Japan, he studied at the academy and experienced low-level work at the same time.
It was at this time that he discovered that a domestic hair growth water called "Zhangguang 101" was very popular in Japan.
This potion is only a few dozen yuan in China, but in Japan**, it has multiplied tenfold.
In this way, you can't buy it if you want to, because there is no normal way to buy it.
At that time, there was even a "hair regrowth sightseeing group" from Japan in Beijing, just to buy a bottle of "Zhangguang 101" in China.
Therefore, there was a popular saying on the streets of Beijing at that time:"Climb the Great Wall, eat roast duck, cure baldness. ”
This made Li Xiaohua smell business opportunities again.
Through some operation, it successfully won the first right in Japan.
This magical product also made Li Xiaohua famous in Japan.
After the sale, not only Li Xiaohua's name was almost equal to "101 Magic Water" in Japan, but he was also received by Japanese Prime Minister Toshiki Umibe.
Japanese Prime Minister Toshiki Kaibe was full of praise for him, calling him "China's best and wisest entrepreneur."
With this product, Li Xiaohua's assets quickly reached 100 million, becoming China's first billionaire.
You know, it was in the mid-80s!
After becoming a billionaire, Li Xiaohua did not stop moving forward.
In the summer of 1989, he traveled to Hong Kong from Japan and found that Hong Kong people were generally pessimistic about the future.
A large number of wealthy people are planning to emigrate, and advertisements for old buildings can be seen everywhere.
As a result, land prices in Hong Kong have plummeted, and no one dares to take over the offer.
It can be said that no one is optimistic about Hong Kong's property market.
However, Li Xiaohua believes that China's economy will continue to improve, and it will inevitably usher in a clear sky after a short period of wind and rain.
As a result, he began to buy a large number of properties that fell in price, waiting for the opportunity to recover.
Facts have once again proved Li Xiaohua's vision.
In less than a year, as the value of real estate soared, Li Xiaohua made another profit.
At this time, his company spread all over China, Europe, America, Japan and other countries, and his business can be said to be getting bigger and bigger, directly soaring to the richest man in the country.
At its peak, Li Xiaohua took China's first Ferrari under his belt.
Because the contrast brought by this incident was too strong at the time, the overwhelming reports made Li Xiaohua and his Ferrari popular all over the world.
Many foreign leaders who visited China wanted to see the owner of the car, and they signed the Ferrari one after another.
As of now, the car has 62 autographs on it.
In other words, the value of this Ferrari has far exceeded itself.
Later, according to Li Xiaohua, a prince in Dubai wanted to buy the car for 200 million US dollars, but he directly refused.
That is, the scene at the beginning of the article.
This car is so significant that I am determined not to sell it, and I will donate it when I am old. ”
If you succeed, you will not forget to give back to the society.
Not long after winning Ferrari in 1992, he donated 2 million yuan to the Hope Project to build a modern comprehensive school in the Pinggu Mountains of Beijing, named after "Xiaohua School";
In 1993, he donated 360,000 yuan to support the return of 1,000 out-of-school children in poor areas of Hebei Province, and also donated 1 million yuan to set up the "Outstanding Teacher Award" in Chongwen District Primary School in Beijing
In 1994, he donated 2 million yuan to his alma mater, Beijing No. 22 Middle School, to improve the conditions for running the school, in order to repay the kindness of his alma mater.
In 1995, he donated 2 million yuan to the Heilongjiang Provincial Education Commission, of which 1 million yuan was used to build a "Xiaohua Middle School" in Suihua City, and another 1 million yuan was used to establish the "Black Soil Education" in the Great Northern Wilderness, where he once lived
In 1996, he donated 500,000 yuan to establish a comprehensive school in the most difficult area of Yunnan, Luquan, to provide ethnic minority students with the opportunity to re-study......
Because of his frequent involvement in charity, he was beenHonorary President conferred by the China Charity FederationTitle.
After attracting great attention in the international community, he was awarded by the Organizing Committee of the United Nations Science and Peace Week"Messenger of World Peace".title, becoming the only Chinese to receive this honor.
On March 1, 1996, the Purple Mountain Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences initiated a proposal to name an asteroid with the international permanent number 3556"Li Xiaohua Xing".
There is no doubt that this is a high recognition of Li Xiaohua.
In October 2023, Li Xiaohua ranked 427th in the "2023 Hurun Report" with a wealth of 13.5 billion yuan.
In our traditional concept, few people can be rich and respected everywhere, but Li Xiaohua has done it.
As the saying goes, "Being smart is a gift, being kind is a choice".
Li Xiaohua's extraordinary talent and wonderful life experience are admirable, and his kind heart is even more worthy of praise.
Perhaps, this is called success.
