Preface.
In 2011, battery king Zhong Xinjia donated 10 million US dollars, equivalent to 70 million yuan, to the University of California, Riverside.
If it is said that it is the cooperation between Chinese enterprises and American universities, this is understandable, but Zhong Xinjia made a lot of nonsense in an interview with reporters:
China is not poor! What does it have to do with me? I donate to the United States! But I can manage the money I earn and spend it as much as I like? ”
People are watching the sky, and what awaits him will be the retribution that he deserves...
Donate 10 million to the United States?
Maybe he wants to open up the American market, or maybe he wants to get some scientific and technological support from the United States, anyway, Zhong Xinjia can be said to do everything to the Americans.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to donate 10 million US dollars, about 70 million yuan, to the University of California, Riverside, which is the largest donation received since the establishment of the school.
As a token of appreciation, a new building was named after Zhong Xinjia and he was awarded the title of honorary academician.
70 million was not a small amount more than ten years ago, but Zhong Xinjia casually donated it to American universities, which of course attracted the attention of many media, and they asked for an exclusive interview with Zhong Xinjia.
In an interview with reporters, Zhong Xinjia boldly shouted, saying that the money is her own, everything is up to her own, others have no right to interfere, and the donation is her own business.
Is the profit-hungry United States really so kind? The American project was in the name of Zhong Xinya, and the Zhong Xinjia Global Energy Center was also established for him?
That's right, Zhong Xinjia's battery technology is the ultimate goal of the Americans.
Zhong Xinjia, who was immersed in joy, could not see it, and even said that he would share his company's technology with the United States, and the Americans were very satisfied because they could profit from it.
Suddenly, Zhong Xinjia became a "man of the hour", and he was saddled with the infamy of "forgetting his roots and profits" and "forgetting his ancestors".
As soon as the news report came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and some people even thought that what he said was very reasonable.
And then here is a message: "There is such an idea because you don't know how he made his fortune, a typical forgetfulness of profit!" ”
Make money, make money, make money.
Zhong Xinjia was born in 1958 in Guangdong Province in southern China, and her family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine.
When she was a child, Zhong Xinjia didn't plan to make batteries, but to study art.
However, his family had high expectations for him, wanting to be a doctor who treated the sick and saved people, and told him that "the doctor is benevolent".
But since he was a child, his academic performance was poor, even if his parents explained something about Chinese medicine, he never took it seriously, and even asked, "What's so great about Chinese medicine?" "Chinese medicine makes more money than Western medicine?
Since middle school, he told his father with a teacher who admired his art that he did not want to study Chinese medicine anymore and wanted to study art.
After seeing his works, Father Zhong asked him in detail about his talent in painting, and finally agreed to apply for the art academy.
But Zhong Xinjia didn't have much brilliance in a group of talented students, but since it was the path he chose, he had to grit his teeth and finish it anyway, until he graduated from college.
It wasn't until Zhong Xinjia realized the employment prospects in the art world that he realized how naïve he was, there were only a handful of people who could reach the peak, and his level was far from enough.
Even the medical skills at home were not well learned, so he could only go to work in an electronics factory, and this became the beginning of his battery king.
Zhong Xinjia, who works in an electronics factory, is dissatisfied with the days of working for others every day, and has always dreamed of starting her own company and becoming her own boss.
Until one day, he got this opportunity.
A well-known British writer "Looking Forward to the 21st Century" once pointed out: "Due to human greed and plunder, human society will enter a period of crisis in the 21st century......The 21st century will be the Chinese century! ”
For Zhong Xinjia, these words are like a bolt from the blue! After reading this book, he felt that the energy industry was very promising, so he chose a direction to make money, which was batteries.
"Battery King" Zhong Xinjia said to do it, and began to study various technologies related to batteries.
Suddenly, the workers all felt that Zhong Xinjia was like a different person, the guy who had nothing to do before, but now he was looking at books and studying batteries all day long.
At the beginning, Zhong Xinjia was confused about these batteries and circuits.
However, Zhong Xinjia's understanding is very high, and during this time with the technicians in the factory, he has a certain understanding of the theory and technology of the battery, and has also shown extraordinary enthusiasm for the battery.
After careful research, a lead-acid battery produced by this factory has many "faults", its storage capacity and life are very low, and it is more troublesome to maintain.
So Zhong Xinjia made improvements to the defects of the old battery and developed a better battery.
After a period of experimentation, he invented the "maintenance-free lead-acid battery", which can store more energy and in the process of later use, it does not require much maintenance.
The successful completion of this test made him leap from a "layman" to an accomplished "expert" in the field of batteries.
In 1983, he opened a factory specializing in the maintenance and resale of audio tapes and tape recorders, and in the 80s he earned several million yuan.
I have to say that Zhong Xinjia is indeed a smart person, he has indeed caught up with this era, and within a year, he has completed his dream of becoming a rich man.
But as the saying goes, "business is war", the ever-changing business environment, such as audio tapes, has been replaced by more advanced CDs.
At the beginning, Zhong Xinjia relied on the identity of the second dealer to mix well, but it didn't take long for him to be arrested by the police.
Later, after investigation, Zhong Xinjia was indeed suspected of "reselling", but due to the lack of sufficient evidence, the principle of "no guilt in doubt" could only be applied in the end.
As a result, Zhong Xinjia not only received a not guilty verdict, but also 770,000 ** compensation, however, more than 1,000 days in prison made Zhong Xinjia have to think about other development paths.
Later, he installed a new battery on an old car, which resulted in a range of more than fifty kilometers.
This is the real big business opportunity!
At that time, ** attached great importance to the use of new energy and gave a lot of subsidies. In particular, Zhuhai is the front line of reform and development, so it will also give more preferential treatment to outstanding talents.
With the help of **, Zhong Xinjia quickly controlled a large amount of scientific research**, and in addition, the local ** also provided him with convenience, so that he could focus all his energy on product development.
With her past achievements in batteries, Zhong Xinjia joined the Chinese genius Ruixing Life Source Battery Laboratory, and since then, Zhong Xinjia has been invincible in battery development.
In the same year, Zhong Xinjia successfully developed a 100 Ah on-board lithium-ion power battery.
Zhong Xinjia's technology has caused a sensation not only in China, but also abroad, and major automobile companies around the world are vying to buy batteries.
Zhong Xinjia stepped on this shareholder wind, and his businessman career began to take off, he established China's Winston Battery Manufacturing Company, began to enter the lithium battery industry, and created a "battery empire" in the Pearl River Delta!
With the strong support of **, he quickly submitted a gratifying report to **, that is, two kinds of energy-saving and high-efficiency batteries.
90 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery"with"Power-type rechargeable battery"They are all the world's first inventions, and I heard that they have also been congratulated by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, which shows how influential this battery is.
Battery King", there is no doubt about it!
Destruction preceded madness.
But now that he is rich, Zhong Xinjia's personality has also changed.
According to the company's employees, after Zhong Xinjia made money, he "had no one in his eyes", and even said that it would not be long before he surpassed Bill Gates and became the world's richest man.
This technology madman, who was devoted to research, has now become a fanatical capitalist.
Just when his career was booming, Zhong Xinjia suddenly donated a sum of money to the United States, and he himself said that he was looking for more advanced technology to enter the American market and make greater progress.
Before people recovered from the shock, he made everyone angry when he unleashed the remark that "China cares what it does".
Several news organizations reported on it and criticized its unreasonable remarks, and under the pressure of the public, Zhong Xinjia instantly became the target of everyone's shouting and discredited.
The company disclosed that the $10 million donated to the University of California was not its personal property, belonged to the company's public funds, and was not approved by the company's directors, so at a shareholder meeting held in April, Zhong Xinjia was removed from the chairmanship by 81% of the vote.
Zhongju Lei Tian announced at the board of directors that Zhong Xinjia was removed from the board of directors, and the company was renamed "Zhongju Battery", and it has nothing to do with Zhong Xinjia since then.
After Zhong Xinjia was kicked out, he returned to Shenzhen to change the name of the company originally located in Shenzhen to Lei Tian Winston, and after that, he sued Zhong Ju Lei Tian, a subsidiary of Sinopoly Battery, for compensation 18.6 billion yuan.
Sinopoly Battery quickly hit back, saying that the three important materials submitted by Zhong Xinjia to the Shenzhen court were forged, and reported the matter to **.
What happened in the end?
Zhong Xinjia withdrew the lawsuit and paid more than 500,000 yuan for the lawsuit and verification fees, and it is already clear which is right and which is wrong.
Epilogue. Will the United States still appreciate the failed Zhong Xinjia after no profit?
The answer is naturally no, Zhong Xinjia has neither resources nor relationships, and it is irrelevant to the United States, his decision is really stubborn, he does not believe in his compatriots, but he pins all his hopes on foreign countries, which is really sad.
Zhong Xinhe, who was tossing and turning, could not save the situation, so he could only resign himself to announcing his bankruptcy, and the famous "battery king" ended up like this, which was really unpleasant.
