Three grandmother-level rich people, self-reliant, are still on the rich list at the age of 70
Source|Business legends.
In 1993, a food company in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, was not doing well, and many of its employees were dismissed, including a woman in her 40s, who was known as "4050" at that time, and it was very difficult to find a new job.
How can this be good?
She saw that there were few people cooking braised vegetables in the vegetable field next to her, so she raised 12,000 yuan, rented the storefront, and purchased a large pot, a stove, and a three-jumper, and began to make a braised vegetable shop.
I'm afraid that at that time, she didn't know that one day, she would become a billionaire, even if she was over seventy years old, she was still a billionaire.
Today's young people will fall if they don't agree with each other, and then think about the unemployed woman at the beginning, how did she live at that time?
In addition to her, the old woman who is now in her 70s is also on the list, and today I want to talk about three of them, all of whom are self-made.
The woman who was fired was named Xu Guifen, a name that is not familiar to most people, but the dishes she made have been eaten by many people, and that is ......
Born in 1951, Xu Guifen was an intellectual youth who later returned to her hometown and worked in a grain enterprise in Nanchang City.
After the 90s, due to the influence of the market, the business conditions of this long-established state-owned enterprise declined sharply, and many employees were forced to leave, Xu Guifen is such a person.
Fortunately, she came from a family of three generations, perhaps inherited her business genes, or was infected by her parents, she chose to start her own business. That's why he thought of making a braised vegetable shop.
At first, business was mediocre. Once at the entrance of a tourist attraction in Suzhou, she saw a braised duck on sale**, and after eating, she felt quite delicious. After talking to the boss, I found out that it was because he was old and didn't want to do this job anymore.
Xu Guifen had a flash of inspiration, discussed with another person, and finally bought a recipe from the Internet for 6,000 yuan, and then returned to Nanchang, made a sauce duck according to the recipe, and put it in a circle on the street, and everyone was full of praise.
The braised duck became popular in an instant.
This is the origin of Huangshanghuang.
Under the leadership of Xu Guifen, Huangshanghuang grew rapidly and successfully landed on the Shenzhen ** Stock Exchange in 2012, establishing the leading position in China's sauce-marinated pork industry in one fell swoop.
In the early years, Zhou Heiya and Juewei had already opened branches in China, and they were listed one after another, in fact, in front of Huang Shanghuang, these are all "little brothers".
The CEOs of both companies are now also on the wealth charts. Xu Guifen is also a veteran billionaire who made it to the Forbes list many years ago.
In 2021, the 70-year-old Xu Guifen is still on the list with a value of 5.4 billion yuan, while the assets she once had more than 10 billion yuan have decreased by 51%.
It's just that in the past two years, she hasn't been on the list.
At present, the total assets of Huang Shanghuang have dropped to 4.4 billion, Xu Guifen and her husband Chu Jiangeng and their two sons Chu Jun and Chu Jian hold a total of 67% of the equity, and the total assets are still as high as 3 billion.
This old lady's life experience is similar to Xu Guifen, she came from the countryside, returned to her hometown, worked in a state-owned enterprise, and then encountered the problem of declining company performance.
It's just that her approach is a little different.
Her name is Cao Shiru, and she was born in Chengdu, Sichuan Province in 1952. In 1972, he returned to Hongqi Department Store and worked as a small ticket clerk.
This kind of work lasted for more than 20 years, and Cao Shiru slowly became the squad leader and the manager of the sales department.
After the 90s, the traditional retail business model of Hongqi Department Store has experienced a significant decline, and many employees have also laid off employees. However, unlike Xu Guifen, she was still working as a wholesale department supervisor at the time, and she started her own business with more than 40 employees. In accordance with the state's regulations, the group was reorganized and spun off from Hongqi**, but Cao Shiru gave him the original shares.
More than 10 million in debt.
At that time, relatives and friends advised her not to go, but Cao Shiru was indifferent.
After the restructuring, although the name is still "Hongqi", it has become a large supermarket, which is the branch of Hongqi.
Subsequently, she opened one Hongqi convenience store after another in Chengdu, Sichuan, Lanzhou and other provinces, with a total of more than 3,600 stores. In the same year, Hongqi Convenience Store was officially launched, and it became the leader of China's convenience store industry.
Cao Shiru was on the list earlier, and he was on the 2022 Hurun Rich List with a value of 5 billion yuan.
However, at the end of next year, she and Cao Zengjun will be in the hands of 691% of the shares of the Hongqi chain were transferred to Sichuan Commercial Investment, a state-owned enterprise in Sichuan, but it gave up some of its voting rights, which is equivalent to giving up its position as the controlling shareholder.
Now, Cao Shiru is also in his seventies, and he is not young.
The other person, who is in his early 40s, is an out-and-out scumbag.
Her name is Lei Jufang, and she is from Qizheng Tibetan Medicine.
Lei Jufang, a native of Lintao, Dingxi, Gansu Province, was born in 1953 in 1953, and she had a better hope than her first two classmates of Xi'an Jiaotong University, one of the best institutions of higher learning in the country.
After graduating from university in 1978, Lei Jufang was sent to work at the Lanzhou Institute of Modern Physics, where she achieved outstanding results. After she joined the institute, she quickly accomplished work that many senior scientists could not do.
Vacuum chamber purification process is adopted.
She has successively won the honorary titles of outstanding female worker in Gansu Province and member of the New Long March Commando.
After years of hard work, Lei Jufang was awarded the title of "Senior Engineer" and worked in Lanzhou Environmental Protection Science and Technology Research Institute.
In the late eighties of the last century, Lei Jufang resigned from his post and founded the Lanzhou Industrial Pollution Prevention and Control Research Institute with his own research results.
Unfortunately, his first brother didn't make it through. A few years later, because of a disagreement, she broke up with her partner, and Lei Jufang, who was deeply affected, went to **.
Who knows, it will help her a lot in her later career.
After recognizing the efficacy of Tibetan medicine locally, she started her own business again, this time, she gave up more than a decade of her career to focus on the pharmaceutical industry and founded Qizheng Tibetan Medicine.
It was 1993.
Since then, Qizheng Tibetan Medicine was successfully listed on the Shenzhen ** Stock Exchange in 2009 and has grown into **first**.
In recent years, Lei Jufang's net worth has exceeded 10 billion yuan, and it will reach 14 billion yuan next year.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to still being on the list of the rich, there are also 3 old women who are still not completely retired, and Lei Jufang and Cao Shiru are still the presidents of the company.
Although Xu Guifen handed over the positions of chairman and general manager to Chu Jun, she is still a director of the company.
In fact, they are not only grandmothers, but also some have already become grandmothers, and in the year of Huang Shanghuang, Xu Guifen was already a grandmother. The other two haven't said that they are already grandmothers, but judging from the age of them and their children, they are already grandmothers.
Cao Zengjun, the son of Cao Shiru, was born in 1979 and is currently a director and vice president of a listed company. Cheng Ruoqiong, the son of Lei Jufang, although he does not work in a listed company, is the general manager of Qizheng shares.
She has been an old lady since she had nothing, and there are still three old ladies here, why should they be lazy?
Who are the other grandmother-level entrepreneurs in China?
