I am generous with a donation of 70 million, it is my personal choice and I do it voluntarily. The state of China's economy is independent of my own wealth and does not need to be imposed.
In 2011, Zhong Xinjia was known as"China's battery giant", because of a careless word, he fell from a leader in the business world to a public condemnation in an instant"Street rats"。
Although netizens have not yet been able to make inappropriate remarks about him"Moral judgment", fate seems to have responded harshly in advance. As soon as Zhong's generous donation to an American university came to an end, his business was unsustainable due to operational difficulties, and his personal financial situation fell into the abyss of hundreds of millions of debts.
Explore Zhong Xinjia's"Countercurrent"What kind of innovative power is hidden? And is his career dilemma just a test on the road to progress? In the frontier field of new energy exploration in our country, there is a name that can be called legendary, and that is"Battery giants"Zhong Xinjia, his outstanding contribution has made the praise like a tide, like a light that illuminates the way forward.
However, if you dig deeper into him, you will find that the connection with the new energy industry seems to be unrelated. Zhong Xinjia was born in 1958 in Guangdong Province to a family full of traditional Chinese medicine, and his parents were both well-known local medical experts, so the issue of wealth never became a fetter on his upbringing.
Following the traditional concept of continuity, Zhong Xinjia seems destined to continue her father's medical legacy and become a well-known local master of traditional Chinese medicine. However, despite being deeply influenced by the atmosphere of traditional Chinese medicine, his passion for medicine did not burn as expected, but instead developed a unique love for the art of painting.
This love led him to be successfully admitted to Zhanjiang Art School, showing a completely different artistic talent.
He once dreamed that art could bring wealth, but after stepping into society, he realized that the road to making a living with a brush was full of challenges. At that time, painting was almost regarded as a sideshow, and people generally pursued real food and clothing.
Painting not only does not guarantee a regular income**, but it is also difficult to create enough life for the artist himself**.
Zhong Xinjia, who had gone through the baptism of society, believed in his father's teachings, and resolutely chose to give up art, follow his father's wishes, and devote himself to studying Chinese medicine at Guangzhou Medical College. However, as if the wonderful arrangement of fate coincided with the year of great changes in the medical system, his graduation allocation plan suddenly fell through, and overnight, he became a marginal explorer of society.
Walking through the streets and alleys of Guangzhou, Zhong Xinjia fell into confusion, and the road to the future seemed to have lost its direction. At the guidance of a friend, he stepped into a battery manufacturing factory, and at first he was skeptical, after all, he was proud of his medicine and art, how could he be willing to be part of the assembly line?
To his surprise, the factory became a guiding star for him to explore his future career path, revealing the possibilities of industry giants. During his days in the factory, Zhong Xinjia saw a bright future for the energy industry, so he seized his spare time to study battery knowledge and accumulate energy to seize the opportunity.
An irresistible curiosity drove him to delve in**, and for him, battery technology at the time was simply a bottleneck: bloated size, inefficient energy management, and most of all, the stretched range.
He imagined that if battery technology could be applied to everyday devices such as mobile phones and cars, what kind of revolution would it begin? These questions flickered in his mind like sparks.
A revolutionary leap forward in battery performance, the idea of an electric car may seem mundane today, but at that time, it was ahead of its time. After all, for the technological conditions of the time, making a battery-powered car was a fantastic idea.
Surprisingly, after a hundred years of exploration by countless scientists, a young Chinese medicine practitioner in China has solved the battery problem from a unique perspective. In 1982, the 24-year-old innovator broke with conventional wisdom when he developed the first maintenance-free lead-acid battery.
Although the original battery had hidden concerns about loss and capacity, it ignited Zhong Xinjia's passion for innovation in the TV industry. He said goodbye to his original position and devoted himself to creating the next generation of products.
After six years of hard work, the new battery was born, which not only increased its energy reserves, but also realized the electrification of bicycles, leading a new trend in the way of travel.
The breakthrough in battery research and development has strengthened Zhong Xinjia's confidence, and he is convinced that his path is right. With his enthusiasm and the support of his parents, he resolutely took the start-up capital generously provided by his family and left his hometown for Zhuhai, where the land gave birth to what would become famous in the energy industry"Winston battery manufacturing***"。
Zhong Xinjia's success is not accidental, with his own professional strength, he has been tempered by practice. The country's strategic vision is obvious, in order to promote the rapid development of the new energy industry, unprecedented support has been poured into this industry.
Zhuhai, as a hot spot for economic development, provides a broad stage and strong policy backing for innovators like Zhong Xinjia. Therefore, the strong support of the state and the superior environment of Zhuhai have made him what he is today.
Thanks to the strong support of national policies, Zhong Xinjia's R&D journey has been smooth and unhindered. In 1997, he brought his self-developed masterpiece to the stage of the Hong Kong Expo"Innovative batteries"As soon as it appeared, the audience was shocked.
The Secretary-General of the United Nations personally congratulated him, and some people foresaw that Zhong Xinjia's name would be engraved in the glorious chapter of history. However, in the face of rave reviews, Zhong Xinjia remained calm, because his battery achievements have not yet been fully activated, and whether he can meet those expectations will still need time to witness and history to decide.
Facts speak louder than words, and Zhong Xinjia began to develop a new type of battery with firm belief. In the eyes of anticipation,"90A cylindrical lithium battery"Successfully installed on a car, which completed a solid drive of up to 160 kilometers without any suspense, proved its excellent performance.
The truth is louder than a thousand words, Zhong Xinjia's feat is powerful, he overcame the global battery life problem in one fell swoop, and set a new historical record on his first attempt. However, the carnival of R&D was instantly consumed by a relentless fire, and hope was briefly lost like fireworks.
A sudden spontaneous combustion incident to:"90A cylindrical lithium battery"As the fuse, the challenge was lit. However, with perseverance, the team led by Zhong Xinjia dispersed the smoke that shrouded their hearts, successfully overcame the problem, and ensured the safe landing of the product.
Their heroic performance won Zhong Xinjia"A master in the field of batteries"His name became synonymous with security.
It is undeniable that Professor Zhong's outstanding contributions to the field of battery research and development have made him a respected figure in the scientific community, and his hard work has left a deep imprint on the vigorous development of China's new energy industry.
The country's recognition of him is all-round, awarding him the honor of academician, and incorporating his battery scientific research achievements into the world's attention"Project 863"in recognition of his great achievements.
What few people know is that the Zhong Xinjia brand was unique in the 2008 Olympic Games and became the only battery manufacturer, which is a rare honor.
In 2011, a news that shook China spread: Zhong Xinjia generously donated tens of millions of dollars to the University of California, Riverside. The public wondered why he did not invest this huge amount of money in many poor schools in the country that were in dire need of funding, and the choice behind this is thought-provoking.
Negative ** surrounded Zhong Xinjia like a tide, theoretically, as long as he clearly explained the original situation, this good deeds dispute still has a turnaround. However, what is puzzling is that a sentence he said in response to reporters turned out to be a key remark that determined the trajectory of the second half of his life.
I am proud to have donated $70 million to American universities, and that was purely out of personal generosity. However, at a time when China is facing economic challenges and university resources are strained, as a native of China and a strong player in the Chinese market, it seems that I have no regard for the bigger picture of the whole situation.
Such remarks seem to lack empathy for an entrepreneur who has developed in China. "
After this baptism, the public completely recognized Zhong Xinjia's true face, and decisively announced that they would sever business with him. Consumers' backlash prompted"Boycott Zhong Xinjia"The call is high.
Soon after, he was met with a strong backlash from his shareholders, stripped of his main position, and forced to take on a staggering debt of 200 million in compensation.
Although Zhong Xinjia had tried hard"Make a comeback", but the relentless tide of history has drowned out his splendour. He was once a prominent figure with a fortune of tens of billions, but now he has no choice but to become an ordinary person in debt.
There is no return ticket in life, and in the face of past mistakes, we can only bravely accept the lessons and costs they bring.
Only by knowing how to be grateful and giving back can an enterprise be everlasting; On the contrary, it is difficult to last. If Zhong Xinjia can follow suit"Fat Donglai"Such an industry leader, guided by the feelings of family and country, will definitely write a different glorious chapter.
Fat Donglai in 1996 was just a name"Fat shop"However, in that era, when the country proudly displayed the American aircraft carrier, it resolutely and resolutely delivered it to Beijing overnight with a sincere intention of 20,000 yuan, and the silent strength and support are still shining in my recall.
Since its establishment, Fat Donglai has always adhered to selfless love, whenever the country faces a major disaster or distress, Yu Donglai's aid materials always appear in time, and the sincere emotions are moving.
It is this simple spiritual power that makes"Fat Donglai"Although it is based in Henan, it is famous all over the country and has a reputation far and wide.
In today's society, we firmly believe that the deep sense of family and country in the hearts of entrepreneurs is more common. It has been said in the past"Merchants have no boundaries"But when the country is facing difficulties, the emergence of ethical corporate giants always evokes warm emotional resonance in people.
The prosperity of the enterprise is based on the trust of customers and the country, and the road to build a solid future can only be pragmatic and steady, with a solid pace, step by step, in order to achieve great success.
