Married at the age of 34, almost single. In 1987, Zong Qinghou, who was 42 years old, borrowed 140,000 yuan and contracted the distribution department of the school-run enterprise in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou. We all know that whether it is in the 90s or now, it is more difficult to distribute goods than to ascend to the sky, especially when the brand is unknown, sales need to communicate door-to-door, and it is normal to be scolded.
For more than 30 years, he has always maintained a hands-on work state. A shirt with a simple texture, and cloth shoes that are often talked about......After the success of his business, he did not covet enjoyment, and his life was even more shabby than ordinary people.
Zong Qinghou once said frankly that when he was young, his mother's meager salary had to raise their 5 children, and the life of eating the last meal and not the next meal made him "poor and afraid". "I stayed in the countryside for 15 years, and at that time I didn't have enough to eat, and I couldn't wear warm clothes. ”
Zong Qinghou is a very successful entrepreneur, although he has a family property, fame and fortune, but he lives a low-key and simple life, sometimes I can't help but think, what is our pursuit as human beings? Fame or money? Happy life? Or is it an afterlife?
