"I worked hard to provide for your education, not to let you sell meat now! "In 2003, inXi'anIn a pork shop on the street, a father reprimands his son with hatred.
The son's name wasLu Buxuan, had beenXi'an champion in liberal artsentered Peking University to study, but after graduation, he resigned twice"Iron rice bowl".chose to sell pork on the street, so he was also ridiculed"Peking University Butcher".
It is really unimaginable that the two very different titles of "butcher" and "genius" appear on a person's body at the same time.
So why does this "Peking University butcher" not use his talent to learn rich five cars, but choose a butcher job that is difficult to get into the elegant hall? Now that 20 years have passed, has this Peking University butcher regretted his original choice?
1985 year, homeChang'an District, Xi'an's Lu Buxuan stood out in this year's college entrance examination and won it in one fell swoopXi'an champion in liberal artsTitle.
Before this, Lu Buxuan had taken the college entrance examination once, and he was only admitted at that timeShaanxi Normal UniversityAlthough this is also a well-known double-first-class university, there is still a big gap with Peking University.
And Lu Buxuan, who has always regarded Peking University as an ideal, was unwilling, so he decided to make a comeback, and after another year of hard study, he finally fulfilled his wish for many years and was admitted to Peking University.
Soon after the college entrance examination, Lu Buxuan unexpectedly received an admission letter from Peking University, which was definitely a noble person who could revitalize his hometown if he had been placed in the past.
"It's amazing, Wenqu Xing is down to earth! ”Soon after the postman delivered the admission letter to Lu Buxuan's house, the people in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, whether they had anything to do with it or not, came to talk about it.
Because being admitted to Peking University means that Lu Buxuan has taken a big step towards success, and their family can finally raise their eyebrows once.
Even though his father is usually a very serious and frugal person, in order to celebrate his son's admission to Peking University, he waved his hand and set up a banquet at the door of his house for two days.
Lu Buxuan is a pragmatic person, he will not be complacent because of the flattery of outsiders, because he knows very well in his heart that entering Peking University has only passed a checkpoint, and the real challenge is still in the near future.
In this way, Lu Buxuan took the hope of his family and the whole village and confidently stepped into the gate of Peking University.
At first, Lu Buxuan had always maintained a normal mind, and he spent all his energy on studying as usual, but soon his ancient and waveless state of mind rippled layer by layer.
Before coming to Peking University, Lu Buxuan had been living in the countryside, and he had never seen the prosperity of a big city.
But when Lu Buxuan came to Beijing, the endless high-rise buildings and endless traffic here made him sigh at the shallowness of his knowledge.
But being able to enter a prestigious school like Peking University, Lu Buxuan's resilience is also very remarkable, and this bustling city with brilliant lights is not enough to disturb his heart.
As Lu Buxuan spent more time in school, he was more aware of the gap between himself and his classmates.
Because I grew up in the countryside,Lu Buxuan's knowledge is very limited, which also leads to his inactive thinkingIn learning, it is more dependent on rote memorization.
Obviously, he worked hard with his classmates around him, even more than they paid, but Lu Buxuan's grades never made further breakthroughs, which couldn't help but make him feel a little depressed, which hit his original self-confidence.
In daily life, Lu Buxuan can't play some of his classmates' interests and hobbies, and he can't even talk about the topics discussed among his classmates.
As a former champion and a young and vigorous boy at the same time, Lu Buxuan, who has strong self-esteem, is a little afraid to face himself"The frog at the bottom of the well".facts.
But fortunately, Lu Buxuan was not blinded by things in the outside world, although it was difficult to develop interpersonal relationships, but with his hard work day and night, his studies were as stable as ever.
Time flies like a white horse, Lu Buxuan is about to graduate from college, and the classmates around him have advised him to move around more, because there are more people competing, and it is normal to be squeezed out, so if you pay a little more, you can feel more at ease.
But Lu Buxuan's thinking is too rigid, he thinks"Iron also needs its own hardness".As long as the grades are good, you will definitely get satisfactory results, so Lu Buxuan did not take the suggestions of his classmates.
However, to Lu Buxuan's surprise, his overly idealistic thoughts soon gave him a blow to the head.
After successfully graduating from school, Lu Buxuan should face the matter of assigning work, since he saw the prosperity of Beijing, he has fallen in love with the city, so Lu Buxuan is very eager to stay in Beijing to work.
However, Lu Buxuan never received any notice from the recruiting unit, and he gradually lost patience before he finally let go of his useless self-esteem.
But when Lu Buxuan mustered up the courage to inquire and learned that his archives had been sent back to Shaanxi at this time, which meant that Lu Buxuan could only be assigned to the local unit department, and he could be regarded as returning to the place where the dream began, and at the same time laying the groundwork for future success.
If Lu Buxuan had followed the advice of his classmates at that time and walked around, even if he couldn't stay in Beijing, he would probably be assigned to a better unit in the city.
But Lu Buxuan, who regarded himself as high at that time, did not do this, so the opportunities that belonged to him were also lost little by little, and finally he was stuffed into Chang'an DistrictIn a machine shop that is about to go out of business
At that time, the lives of the people were still very hard, and most of them made a living from farming, so Lu Buxuan's job was something that hundreds of people couldn't ask for"Iron rice bowl".
"You can enter the system at a young age, and reading can really make people reborn. This is what Lu Buxuan has heard the most since he entered the machinery factory, and his father is extremely proud of his son's success, and his waist can't help but straighten a little.
But what they didn't know was that Lu Buxuan, who was extremely successful in their eyes, had an extremely hard time.
In the machinery factory, Lu Buxuan, like other workers without any education, is doing the dirtiest and most tiring work.
But no matter what, Lu Buxuan is a talented man who graduated from a prestigious school, and the arrogance in his heart makes him extremely dissatisfied with his current work, because Lu Buxuan's full talent cannot be brought into play in the machinery factory at all.
In addition to the anger of Huai Cai, Lu Buxuan has also seen with his own eyes that a newcomer who cannot be compared with himself at all has become a cadre in the factory, which also makes the grievances and unwillingness in his heart reach the peak.
In order to vent the anger in his heart, Lu Buxuan began to write some poems and prose with deep meanings in his spare time, and published them in newspapers, which is also Lu Buxuan's rebellion against reality in disguise.
But the poems written by Lu Buxuan were originally intended to vent his anger, but who knew that he was actually favored by the director of the local planning commission, so he was transferred to be a secretary.
As soon as he thought that he could finally show his strength, Lu Buxuan's heart was full of expectations, but the results showed that he was still "wishful thinking".
After becoming a secretary, Lu Buxuan's usual work is just cleaning, serving tea and pouring water, and sorting out documents, although he no longer has to do dirty heavy work like before, but this work that can be seen at a glance is still 108,000 miles away from the ideal in his heart.
Lu Buxuan hated his lack of talent, but he had no background and disdained to slap horses, but he was helpless, so he could only continue to live under the fence.
But Lu Buxuan has not gained nothing in his work in the past few years, he relied on the name of Peking University's talent and system work, married a wife like a flower, and had a lovely daughter, which can be regarded as a major life event.
With the reform and opening up sweeping the land, more and more people choose to go to the sea to do business, and have achieved good results.
The noise of the outside world made the depressed Lu Buxuan waver, so he ignored the dissuasion of his family and insisted on giving up his stable job and choosing to go to the sea to do business.
But God is fair,Although Lu Buxuan is extremely talented in reading, his too traditional and rigid concept is difficult to adapt to the twists and turns of business.
In the first few years of business, Lu Buxuan did the business of medicinal materials, decoration, and mines, but the money invested was all lost without exception.
Lu Buxuan's family was already poor, and the savings he had saved at the beginning could not withstand his reckless "squandering" at all.
It is said that feelings without material things are a plate of loose sandLu Buxuan's business failure directly led to a sharp decline in the family's economic situation, and the originally virtuous and kind wife gradually revealed her true form, and she either beat or scolded Lu Buxuan, so the two finally broke up unhappily.
At this time, Lu Buxuan was in his thirties, and he was in the stage of being old and young, so raising a family became an urgent matter.
Reform and opening up to promote the rapid development of the economy, people's living standards are also improving day by day, the original can only be eaten during the New Year's holidays, pork has become an indispensable food on people's daily tables.
Lu Buxuan was keenly aware of this change, so he had the idea of selling pork, and compared with other businesses, the cost of selling pork is not high, and the income is fast and suitable for Lu Buxuan, who is weak at the moment, so he began to try to sell pork.
The first store opened by Lu Buxuan is called"Eye pork shop".Because he is simple-minded and honest, the pork he sells is very fair while ensuring the quality, so he is very popular with ordinary people, and the business in the store has become extremely prosperous.
But in the final analysis, Lu Buxuan's essence is still a literati, and he also has the recklessness and loftiness of a literati in his bones, so in the years when he sold meat, he disguised himself as illiterate, and he never mentioned the proud past.
The so-called "people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong", Lu Buxuan's hot business directly affected the peers around him, so he was also put in a position.
At that time, the owner of a butcher shop next door was jealous of Lu Buxuan's business, so he complained that his meat was defective, which led to an investigation by the Health Bureau.
It can be said that "the body is not afraid of shadows", Lu Buxuan is very confident in the meat he sells, so he is not worried about outsiders coming to inspect it.
But this seemingly oolong incident made all Lu Buxuan's previous efforts "fall short".
After being inspected by the professional department, there was no problem with the meat in Lu Buxuan's store, but his identity as a talented Peking University was exposed.
Shortly after the investigation, a report called"Peking University Genius Sells Pork on the Street".rushed into people's field of vision, and Lu Buxuan was also ridiculed and questioned overwhelmingly.
"Peking University geniuses still come to compete with ordinary people for business, aren't all the books I read before wasting it, it's a waste of national resources!”
"I worked hard for you to study, not for you to sell pork!”As Lu Buxuan was questioned more and more, his father also felt that his face was gloomy, so he reprimanded his once proud son in public.
Before this, Lu Buxuan had always hidden the sale of pork from his father because he didn't want to disappoint his father.
Lu Buxuan didn't want to pay attention to the doubts from the outside world, but his father, who he respected the most, couldn't be distracted anymore.
But as the so-called "blessings and misfortunes depend on each other", although this ** revealed Lu Buxuan's hidden identity, it also made his name more well-known.
At that time, Chang'an District ** noticed Lu Buxuan, so he invited him to participate in the work of the editor, and when Lu Buxuan learned that this job could allow him to pick up the pen again, and at the same time allow his father to regain face, he agreed without hesitation.
At this time, Lu Buxuan was nearly half a hundred years old, and it can be said that it took him half a lifetime to finally realize his original dream, but time has passed, and people's ideals will change over time.
After becoming an editor, the talented Lu Buxuan soon shined in his work, and his pork shop was also operating as usual.
Although Lu Buxuan's salary remains unchanged, if he can continue to work, relying on the income of the pork shop and the salary of the system, he can live a stable life for the rest of his life.
But everything will not remain the same, just like Lu Buxuan's pursuit, it is no longer as simple as becoming a literati at the beginning.
In 2008, Lu Buxuan met someone who also graduated from Peking University and was also in the pork businessChen Sheng.
Chen Sheng studied economics, so when the two met, he was already there"No. 1 Earth Pig".President of the company.
It is said that "heroes see the same thing", the same alma mater and the same business, which makes Lu Chen and the two have a feeling of hating each other.
When Lu Buxuan learned that Chen Sheng's business was doing a lot, he wanted to study, and when Chen Sheng learned that Lu Buxuan was talented, he also wanted to find him to cooperate, so the two hit it off.
Lu Buxuan once again resigned from the "iron rice bowl", but unlike last time, this time he has a broad enough world to show his strengths.
Lu Buxuan is good at writing, so after becoming the vice chairman of the company, he wrote a book titled "The opinions of himself and Chen Sheng on the pork business over the yearsPork Marketingof books.
The book not only reveals the inside story of pork, but also teaches people how to pick fat and buy the meat they want, it can be said that the starting point of both of them is from the perspective of people's lives.
The efforts of the two are also obvious, they have turned the profession of "butcher" into a profession that should not be underestimated, and Lu Buxuan has also armed himself with knowledge to become a useful talent to society.
In order to expand the scale of the company and change the world's perception of selling pork, the two also set up a school"Butcher's School"., the preparation of teaching materials, scientific pig breeding, and the correct marketing methods.
In the end, they are still selling pork, so everyone is not optimistic about them, but the facts once again prove the importance of combining knowledge and action.
By 2018, Lu Buxuan's worth was as high as hundreds of millions, and the "No. 1 Earth Pig" stores were located in more than 20 cities across the country, with more than 2,000 franchise stores alone.
In fact, reading books is not about learning the fixed knowledge in books, but more about learning the unique way of thinking and the perseverance of the craftsman, so as to achieve ultimate success.
Chen Sheng and Lu Buxuan are the same, they both have unsatisfactory experiences, but they also have the same goals, which is why they can come together.
In the beginning, the difficult job of selling pork did make Lu Buxuan lose the elegance of a talented person from Peking University, but no one in this society will understand the meaning of others in the process of struggle, because when you succeed, the air around you will become different.
This is also why Lu Buxuan will give a speech at Peking University as an expert, although this is also related to his donation to his alma mater, but this is not an affirmation of Lu Buxuan's success?
When giving a speech at Peking University, Lu Buxuan did not exaggerate his success, on the contrary, he summarized his unique behavior as a smear on the façade of the school, but it was also the unwillingness that he had not encountered for many years that urged him to have today's achievements.
