Chen Sheng, from Peking University, as the old saying goes: "When you are born, you will not forget your parents' kindness, and when you are rich, you will not forget to guide the way." ”
As the only college student in the village who was admitted to Peking University, Chen Sheng received help from many villagers.
However, Chen Sheng could have ushered in a bright future after graduation, but he chose to give up. Later, he decided to start his own business and become a "butcher", and with his talent, he earned 1.1 billion yuan in just three years.
Chen Sheng deeply felt the help given by the villagers in the process of his study, so he was unwilling to live up to his feelings and decided to invest 200 million yuan to build 138 villas for the villagers. However, his generosity did not win the gratitude of the villagers, but caused a lot of criticism. As a result, Chen Sheng still does not dare to return to his hometown.
Why did the villagers choose to complain about Chen Sheng instead of accepting his generosity, and what happened in it?
The golden phoenix spreads its wings and flies in the mountain village
Chen Sheng was born in 1962 in Zhanjiang, Guangdong. At that time, China had just emerged from a three-year difficult period, so Chen Sheng's family was in a very poor situation, like most rural families. Despite their poverty, the family lives happily. In such an environment, Chen Sheng spent his childhood.
When Chen grew up old enough to go to school, his parents decided to send him to school despite the fact that his family was not wealthy. They know that in order for their children to escape the same fate as them, education and knowledge are essential.
However, when Chen Sheng was 12 years old, his father unfortunately fell seriously ill and passed away in a short time, so the burden of the family fell on his mother alone.
Her mother never considered letting Chen Sheng give up her studies, and it was her persistence that made Chen Sheng later. That's what happened.
Although Chen Sheng's family is not wealthy, he works very hard in his studies. He clearly knows that the reason for his continuous progress is that his mother has always believed that only through reading can he change his destiny. Chen Sheng has been impressive with his excellent grades since he was a child, and all the teachers who taught him also thought that he would be able to get into a good university in the college entrance examination.
Chen Sheng walked into the examination room that everyone paid attention to, which was an important moment that would determine the fate of his life. There, he showed a calm and confident attitude. However, while waiting for the results of the exams, anxiety and worry inevitably came over him because he was worried that he would not be able to meet his mother's high expectations by not being admitted to his dream university.
The time for the college entrance examination results to be announced has finally arrived, and Chen Sheng is also worried. However, all anxiety vanished the moment the results were seen. This time, Chen Sheng achieved a very good result. The teacher advised him to apply to Peking University because according to his grades, the probability of being admitted to Peking University is very high.
In the days that followed, Chen Sheng began to crave to receive the acceptance letter. However, as time passed, he saw that his classmates around him had received their acceptance letters one by one, and Chen Sheng began to wonder if he would succeed. However, when the acceptance letter came along, all doubts vanished. The moment they saw that they had been admitted to Peking University on the notice, both Chen Sheng and Chen Sheng's mother were very happy.
After Chen Sheng's mother was happy, she began to worry. After all, her daily life of taking care of several children by herself is already very difficult, and now that Chen Sheng has been admitted to university again, she doesn't know how to raise his tuition.
The news of Chen Sheng's admission to Peking University quickly spread throughout the village, and the villagers were very happy. This is the first time since the resumption of the college entrance examination that someone in the village has been admitted to university, and he is also the first student of Peking University, which is really exciting. After learning about Chen Sheng's family's concerns, the villagers did not hesitate to lend a helping hand, whether it was financial support or practical help. With the joint efforts of the villagers, Chen Sheng finally raised the tuition fees needed to go to university.
Chen Sheng was very moved to see what the villagers had done, and before leaving, he assured the villagers that if he soared in the future, he would definitely repay them.
After Chen Sheng assured the villagers, he stepped on the train to Beijing. During the four years he spent at Peking University, he studied diligently and always remembered the help his fellow villagers had given him.
Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Sheng has successfully completed his studies and started his career. After graduating, he was admitted to the civil service and was sent to work in the General Office of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee.
At that time, the position of civil servant was a stable job that people dreamed of, and Chen Sheng was also very serious in his work, so he was appreciated by the leaders.
Resign yourself and start your own business.
With the gradual acceleration of the process of reform and opening up, Chen Sheng found that many students chose to go to the sea to do business. Seeing that they were making a lot of money one by one, Chen Sheng also began to have strange thoughts about his work as a civil servant.
Although Mr. Chan's job as a civil servant is stable, his salary is meagre compared to those who work in business. He didn't want to be comfortable in the position of a civil servant for the rest of his life, because he had promised the villagers that he would flourish and repay them, but now it seems that he may not be able to realize this wish, and may even not be able to repay the villagers for life.
So Chen Sheng came up with the idea of resigning from his civil service position and devoting himself to entrepreneurship. Despite this, he did not act immediately, because in those days, it was not considered honorable for civil servants to give up their stable jobs to start their own businesses. Therefore, Chen Sheng first wrote his resignation letter, and then revealed his decision to his mother. When the mother learned that her son wanted to resign from the civil service, she also objected, because in her opinion, the civil service was an iron job with a stable guarantee.
After his mother disagreed, Chen Sheng began to persuade his mother. When his mother saw that Chen was determined, she asked him if he had thought it through. Chen Sheng replied that he was ready. When his mother saw that he had made up her mind, she stopped stopping him.
Chen Sheng submitted his resignation to the unit and started his own entrepreneurial road.
Chen Sheng started out selling clothes at a stall in Jaya City, and then switched to growing vegetables. After accumulating a certain amount of capital through these jobs, he entered the real estate industry, and after several years of struggle, he achieved great success in the real estate industry in Zhanjiang and became the leading boss. However, he didn't stop there, and instead set his sights on a broader field.
At that time, the mixed fruit vinegar and Sprite method became popular in the society, because the general public was very enthusiastic about this method. Influenced by this, Chen Sheng decided to devote himself to the study of this "vinegared drink". After rigorous screening and in-depth exploration, Chen Sheng finally found the best fruit vinegar to pair with Sprite, and named this drink "Tiandi No. 1". Subsequently, he established Tiandi No. 1 Beverage *** and officially began to sell this drink.
After the launch of Tiandi No. 1, it was highly respected by the people, and sales increased rapidly, and Chen Sheng's business also flourished.
Chen Sheng gradually noticed that the sales of Tiandi One began to decline, which made him worry that his drink would eventually fall out of favor. As a result, he began to look for other business opportunities.
Chen Sheng learned that his apprentice, Lu Buxuan, had become a butcher after graduation and had sold pork, which drew public criticism. However, Chen Sheng did not think that it was shameful for Peking University students to sell pork after graduation, so he took the initiative to contact Lu Buxuan, and the two discussed how to raise pigs scientifically, slaughter and sell. Eventually, they hit it off and co-founded a butcher's school dedicated to training professional pig breeders and salespeople.
In 2007, the No. 1 soil pig founded by the two began to enter the market, and quickly occupied the market share in a short period of time, and the company gradually got on the right track. In an interview in 2014, Chen Sheng said that since its listing in 2007, No. 1 Soil Pig has hundreds of stores across the country, and the number of stores will continue to increase in the next few years, and is expected to reach several thousand.
Mr. Chen has not forgotten his promise to the villagers, even though he has already prospered.
In 2009, No. 1 Soil Pig had just been listed for three years, and Chen Sheng had already earned 1.1 billion yuan.
Chen Sheng decided to repay the villagers because he saw his achievements and remembered the help the villagers had helped him.
In his hometown, Chen Sheng spent 200 million yuan to build hundreds of villas, and in order to help the villagers get rich, he also built a series of enterprises such as pig farms and lychee orchards.
When the villagers were choosing a villa, Mr. Chen realized that people's hearts are fickle.
When Chen Sheng originally planned to build a villa in his hometown, he planned to do it in two phases. First of all, hundreds of villas were built for the villagers to live in, and then the original houses of the villagers were demolished, and the remaining villas were built on the original site.
The idea is beautiful, but the implementation is fraught with difficulties. Some of the villagers' younger brothers and sisters had already married and split up when the villas were built, which reminds me of Chen Sheng's original statement that he would build a villa for each family. Considering that his younger brother and sister were also married, he asked Chen Sheng to build a villa for them as well.
Some villagers moved into the villa, but they developed feelings for the old house they had lived in for many years, so they begged Mr. Chen not to demolish it.
There were also some villagers who felt that their villas were smaller than those of other villagers, so they asked Chen Sheng to change them to another one.
The villagers' demands became more and more excessive, and Chen Sheng had no choice but to turn to ** to mediate. Under the coordination of **, the villagers began to move into the villa one after another. On the day of the move-in ceremony, Chen Sheng left the scene after giving a speech and never returned to his hometown.
Although he no longer returns to his hometown, Chen Sheng has not forgotten his mission to guide the villagers to prosperity. He did not directly provide welfare, but instructed villagers to improve their lives with their own hands. Now, under the leadership of Chen Sheng, his hometown is developing in a more prosperous direction.
