When it comes to the top rich people at the top of China's pyramid, who do you think of first? Ma Yun, Ma Huateng, Liu Qiangdong, Wang Jianlin ......These are well-known and wealthy people. But the "** rich" introduced to you today, even if he is worth hundreds of billions, is still not well-known.
He isFounder of Zhengwei International GroupWang Wenyin, thisIt has more than 20 mines, ownedThe world's 10 trillion minerals, a year of 691.9 billion, but still not arrogant and impatient, the "World Copper King", with his wisdom and foolish strength, showed the world a low-key luxury and connotation of personality charm!
It is understood that on the latest wealth list, Wang Wenyin's personal assets have reached117.9 billion yuan, successfully ranked among the top ten richest people in China. In 2020, his Zhengwei Group achieved a turnover of near700 billion yuan, average daily income1.9 billion
Today, Wang Wenyin embracesThere are 25 million tons of copper mines, the total value of which is up totrillions of yuan, making him a world-renowned"Bronze King"., known as China's real "richest man".
When the name Wang Wenyin is mentioned, many people will put a big question mark in their minds, who is he? How come you've never heard of it?
Wang Wenyin was born in 1968 in a remote mountain village in Anhui Province, where his ancestors had been farmers rooted in the land and mountains. Because of the poverty of the family, when he was very young, Wang Wenyin had to follow the adults to do farm work before dawn.
But for these small tribulations of life, Wang Wenyin did not choose to give in, but strengthened his determination to leave the mountain. When he reached the age of going to school, Wang Wenyin saw unprecedented hope from books, and he knew that if he wanted to get ahead, he had to study hard, because only knowledge could change his fate.
So every day after work, when other children are playing and playing, he will squeeze out time to read and study. Fortunately, his parents also supported Wang Wenyin's study, even if life was difficult and hard, Wang Wenyin's way to school was not broken.
Finally, the hard work paid off. In 1989, at the age of 21, he was admitted to his dream school with excellent gradesNanjing University.
Time flies. Unconsciously, it was the graduation season, and Wang Wenyin was successfully assigned to Shanghai Gaoqiao Petrochemical Company with excellent results. The salary of this job is very good, with a salary of 400 a month, which was already a very decent and good job in those days.
But for this "fragrant bait" in his hand, Wang Wenyin's heart was not satisfied, and in the face of monotonous work day after day, year after year, he decided to give it a go, because he wanted to get more.
In 1993, Wang Wenyin ushered in another major turning point in his life. At this time, Shenzhen had already been set up as a special economic zone, and it became a "gold rush land" in the eyes of many people. Wang Wenyin felt that his opportunity had come, so he resigned decisively, packed his bags and got on the train to Shenzhen without hesitation.
However, what happened to Wang Wenyin in Shenzhen did not go as smoothly as he imagined. At the age of 25, even with the glorious blessing of a prestigious school like Nanjing University, he still failed to find a suitable job, because the scope of employment in his major was too small. The profession is not right, and there is no other skill.
Wang Wenyin, who only brought 400 yuan to Shenzhen alone, quickly tasted the cruelty of reality under Shenzhen's high consumption. Because of the fruitless search for a job for many days, when Wang Wenyin was most embarrassed,With only 10 yuan left, he had to sleep under the tunnel.
Although the reality is cruel, it did not make Wang Wenyin fall into despair and discourage his determination to establish a foothold in Shenzhen. Since a college diploma is useless in the job search process, then do manual work and solve the problem of food and clothing first.
As a result, college students, who had been successful in the eyes of the public, began to sell their labor to survive.
Later, when Wang Wenyin recalled this difficult time, he laughed and talked about it"I have to lay a good foundation first, otherwise, how will I manage the factory in the future? ”
He did not regret his decision to resign and go to sea, but regarded this difficult period as a stepping stone to success. "Only when you suffer hardship can you become a superior person"., Wang Wenyin vividly interpreted this sentence.
Later, by chance, he entered a Hong Kong factory that produced wire plugs as an ordinary warehouse manager.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. In order to save time and effort to complete the work, Wang Wenyin spent a lot of time memorizing the codes of thousands of goods in the warehouse, which also laid the foundation for his subsequent career to soar.
Once, the leader inspected the factory and came to the place where he worked. He casually asked about a model, and Wang Wenyin immediately answered. With his outstanding performance, Wang Wenyin was promoted again and again.
In just one year, he rose from the once unknown small warehouse manager to the general manager of the production material control department of the factory, and his annual salary was as high as one million.
However, this height is still not the ideal state in Wang Wenyin's heart.
In his opinion, no matter how good the work is done and how high he stands, he will work for others after all, and he does not want to be a tool for others to make money for the rest of his life.
My fate is up to me, and he wants to control his own destiny. So, Wang Wenyin began to think about starting his own business and running a company. But how easy is starting a business? First of all, there is the issue of capital, especially for entrepreneurs who want to start an industrial company, which costs a lot of money.
However, his current salary alone is not enough to accumulate entrepreneurship in the short term. After thinking about it and weighing it again and again, Wang Wenyin once again made an important decision - to change jobs.
It is said that changing jobs is the fastest way to get promoted and raised.
Sure enough, Wang Wenyin's choice was correct.
As early as when he was in the company, Wang Wenyin had business contacts with a wire company owned by Hitachi in Japan, and he had a lot of contact, and his superb business ability was also favored by Hitachi, so he extended an olive branch to him and promisedAnnual salary of one million plus 2 points commissionPoaching him, the salary seemed very tempting at the time. Wang Wenyin seized this opportunity.
During this time in the Japanese company, Wang Wenyin has gained a lot. With his excellent business ability, he helped the company earn almost more than 1 billion yuan, and also got a generous commission incomeWithin a year, he took more than 20 million in bonuses alone, more than 20 million, which was already a huge amount of money at that time, unwilling to be just a worker, Wang Wenyin made up his mind to start a business and embarked on the road of entrepreneurship.
With entrepreneurship**,Wang Wenyin officially started his entrepreneurial road.
In 1995, just two years after Wang Wenyin came to Shenzhen, he fulfilled his vow to set up his own company in the treasure of Shenzhen.
Wang Wenyin later recalled that in the days when he founded the company, he was so excited and excited that he didn't fall asleep for several nights and almost forgot to take the company's name. It wasn't until I went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register that I had an idea and thought of a very domineering name-Xiewei Industry***
Based on his previous experience in the factory, Wang Wenyin was ready to start buying and selling power cords. In order to get the company on the right track as soon as possible, Wang Wenyin lived directly in the company and was busy day and night.
Even on the way to the delivery, he is thinking about how to get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost. Gradually, the company slowly got on the right track, although it was hard every day, but looking at the increasingly mature company, Wang Wenyin was tired and happy.
In 1997, the olive branch of fate extended to Wang Wenyin again, and this year, Wang Wenyin's business territory officially began to expand.
This year coincided with the Asian financial crisis. Under the pressure of the economic downturn, most of the top businessmen in the factory, in the case of the rent of the factory falling again and again, their production equipment is also a large number of unsalable and cannot be sold.
Wang Wenyin saw the opportunity and decisively found those first-class businessmen and wanted to buy the machinery and equipment in their hands in installments, but the first-class businessmen were unwilling to accept such a low-cost loss-making business at first.
But seeing that the inventory was backlogged day by day, they were also desperate, and finally sold the equipment in their hands under the persuasion of Wang Wenyin.
Wang Wenyin bought more than 100 pieces of equipment under huge pressure, and this large-scale acquisition also directly contributed to an established fact-It became the largest factory in Shenzhen
1999 was also a very representative year for Wang WenyinIn this year, he integrated his factories into Zhengwei International Group. Perhaps he never imagined that the future Zhengwei International Group would become the world's largest copper industry company, which also became the pride of his life.
The initial integration of the factory is to expand and extend the wire factory to the upstream of the industry. By 2003, Zhengwei Group has become one of the most complete power cord manufacturers in China, not only in China, but also in the world.
At that time, a "SARS" epidemic swept through China, and all kinds of domestic resources and products** were affected. The copper mine has also fallen a lot, and for Wang Wenyin's company's main wire factory, the most needed metal for the production of wires is copper.
Taking advantage of the special period of the epidemic, Wang Wenyin made a decisive move to buy several relatively large copper and tungsten mines at home and abroad at low prices, and began to vigorously enter the copper and tungsten industry.
With the stabilization of the market in the later stage, the copper and tungsten mines have been one after another, and Wang Wenyin has made a lot of money, which also makes itWang Wenyin started the business of copper mining and smelting
If the previous achievements are the result of Wang Wenyin's hard work, then the following huge successful investment is the best proof of his unique vision.
Once, Wang Wenyin took a fancy to a copper rod wire production project. When he was full of confidence and ready to take it, he was opposed by his partners.
In the face of the partner's doubts and persuasions, Wang Wenyin thought about it for a long time, but he believed in his own vision, so he resolutely invested2.8 billion fundsTake down this project.
It turned out that he was right. This acquisition allowed Zhengwei Group to realize the freedom of raw materials, and also made Wang Wenyin become the leader of the copper and tungsten industry.
Wang Wenyin's legend doesn't stop there. In 2008,The global financial crisisComing.
For ordinary people, this financial turmoil is undoubtedly a frustrating blow, and in the face of this financial crisis, all that comes to mind is to minimize spending to preserve strength.
But Wang Wenyin did the opposite, he felt that this is a rare good opportunity, with the support of strong capital, Wang Wenyin successfully acquired a large number of copper processing enterprises that were depreciated due to the impact of the financial turmoil, and under many communication and negotiations, Wang Wenyin successfully bought hundreds of thousands of tons of copper materials at a low price.
With the gradual disappearance of the crisis, the ** of the copper mine reappeared**, and the copper materials that were once purchased at a low price became hotTens of billions of profits were earned, can be called a myth in the copper mining industry, Wang Wenyin, who created this myth, is still light, low-key and connotative.
Even with such proud achievements, Wang Wenyin has not forgotten his mission as an enterprise. In his opinion,".Business and scholars, Jia and good Confucianism, repay the society, and help the township
If an enterprise wants to become bigger and stronger, managers need to have the ambition of serving the country with industry and shoulder".Social responsibility in the process of sublimation of industrial avenueWith a strong sense of national self-esteem, forge ahead, self-improvement, hard work, and continue to create better performance to give back to the society.
Wang Wenyin and his Zhengwei Group practice their responsibilities and missions to the society with practical actions. Over the years, the company has been actively participating in the cause of social poverty alleviation, demonstrating the sense of responsibility of enterprises to get rich without forgetting to repay the society and the traditional Chinese virtues of poverty alleviation and benevolence.
In 2016, Zhengwei Group, Baoneng Group, Paradise Investment and other enterprises donated to SUSTech's education2.600 million yuanIt is used for the cultivation and construction of SUSTech talents;
On October 17, 2018, at the "2018 National Poverty Alleviation Day Susong County Social Assistance Donation Ceremony" hosted by Susong County, Anhui Province, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhengwei International Group donated poverty alleviation funds on the spot2 million yuan
On the afternoon of September 8, 2018, the signing ceremony of industrial poverty alleviation cooperation between the people of Jinzhai County and Zhengwei International Group was held in Jinzhai. Zhengwei Group hopes to pass"Jinzhai model".help more poverty-stricken areas and contribute to the cause of poverty alleviation;
In order to create a warm winter for left-behind children and the elderly in poor mountainous areas, Zhengwei Volunteer Home also held a clothing donation activity, with the assistance of Shenzhen Embrace Sunshine Public Welfare and Clothing Affection InstitutionsNearly 3,000 pieces of love materialsThey were sent to Guiyang, Qinghai and other donated places;
In order to contribute to China's sports industry, Wang Wenyin will alsoSixty million white marble muralsUnconditionally donated to the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee.
It is the responsibility of enterprises to give back to the society and care for the society. Wang Wenyinshi and the Zhengwei Group he created have always been consistent in this.
Excellent helmsman, good corporate culture and strong sense of social responsibility have made this national enterprise create immortal achievements.
By 2020, it has 30,000 employees and a turnover of 691.9 billion yuan, ranked 4th among the top 500 private enterprises in China in 2021, and successfully ranked among the world's top 500 enterprises.
On March 31, 2021, Wang Wenyin was elected as the Vice President of the 4th European Union Association of China; In April of the same year, Wang Wenyin ranked 161st on the "2021 Forbes Global Rich List" with a net worth of $13.2 billion.
Achieving such results is not only because the times create heroes, Wang Wenyin's success depends on his outstanding vision of taking an unusual path.
As he said at the beginning:"I only do what others can't do, I only look at what others can't see, and I only think about problems that others can't think of. ”His great achievements show the precision with which he grasps opportunities.
Back then, in Shenzhen, where factories were everywhere, Wang Wenyin's small factory was in turmoil; Today, what was once a humble factory has been transformed into China's most well-known non-ferrous metals industry chain and the world's largest copper company.
As a global group company dominated by the complete industrial chain of non-ferrous metals, Zhengwei Group now controls 5% of the world's copper reserves, accounting for 10% of the country's copper production capacity.
And it has more than 20 mines in North America, South America, Africa and other places, and the total value of mineral resources is as high as tens of trillions, and its strength has become so strong. Last year, due to the impact of the epidemic, the world's most advanced prices were rising.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Wenyin is known in the industry"Bronze King of the World".
After more than 20 years of hard work and struggle, today's Wang Wenyin has already changed from an unknown worker to a group of 10,000 people with a value of more than 100 billion. But his strength did not make him high-profile and luxurious, on the contrary, he still acted in a low-key manner.
"When it is not unearthed, there is a festival, and when you go to Lingyun, you are still modest".When it has not yet grown out of the soil, it is already section by section, and even if it grows to a high height, it maintains an attitude of humility and humility. Wang Wenyin, as the poem says, even if he has strong assets, he still maintains itHumility
Wang Wenyin has always maintained"High-profile work, low-key life".'s style of acting, he is almost invisible in the eyes of the public, and it is rare to see an exclusive interview with this business tycoon. If you see some news about Zhengwei Group, it is only the company's achievements or new research and development success reports.
Indeed, compared with the famous rich people at home and abroad, Wang Wenyin can be said to be low-key to the dustBut keeping a low profile doesn't mean there isn't hard power
It is precisely because of Wang Wenyin's low profile that few people mention him on the wealth list. But as for the value of this ** richest man, whether he can already rank among the top of the global rich list, the possibility is not impossible.
Judging from the current development of Zhengwei Group, due to the impact of the epidemic last year, the world's largest prices were rising, and Wang Wenyin and his copper mine were also rising step by step, which also made Zhengwei Group's turnover reach near700 billion RMB。This is a number that normal people can't even imagine, but it is only the amount of Wang Wenyin's accounts in a year.
Not only that, the current Zhengwei Group has not yet been listed, if Zhengwei Group is listed, then Wang Wenyin's worth will definitely rise, with the famous terrifying resources, after the Zhengwei Group is listed, Wang Wenyin is not small to become the richest man, and may even have the opportunity to top the Forbes list.
Indeed, compared with the famous rich people at home and abroad, Wang Wenyin can be said to be low-key to the dust, but low-key does not mean that there is no hard power. WhileWang Wenyin is such an inconspicuous "** rich man".
Wang Wenyin's infinite scenery makes the world envious. But who would have thought that this ** richest man, who is worth hundreds of billions, only has ten yuan left on his body when he is most lonely, and he can't even eat a full meal, and even slept in a tunnel when he was most depressed.
From a young man from the countryside to a super-rich man worth hundreds of millions today, Wang Wenyin's success is closely related to his hard work, and equally important are those successful gambles.
In the face of Wang Wenyin's achievements, some people think that he is just lucky and has caught up with the good times. But is that really the case?
Apparently not. God never favors those who have not made any preparations, and looking back on Wang Wenyin's entrepreneurial history, his success is no accident.
In the face of a comfortable life, he chose to give up everything he used and pursue what he liked from scratch, which was different from ordinary peopleCourage and audacity；Able to discern direction in a crisis, canShipwreckedPressing all your net worth to win a brighter future is also a demonstration of strength.
As Wang Wenyin said, he can lead Zhengwei Group to achieve today's achievementsThe most important thing is to be dissatisfied with the status quo and keep innovating.
And this innovation is not only reflected in the operation, but also in the business idea. Thinking that others dare not think, and doing what others dare not do, this is China"**Rich".Wang Wenyin's way to success. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan"Therefore, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they cannot. ”This passage of Mencius can be said to be a true portrayal of Wang Wenyin's transformation from destitude to glory. Only by withstanding the test of fate and overcoming obstacles all the way can we stand on the top of the world.
