After setting foot on this hot land of Xiamen, Yan put his infinite feelings for the motherland into the fiery economic construction of the motherland, and successively invested more than 800 million yuan in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Suzhou, Wuxi, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Quanyong and other places. Investment projects involve real estate, textiles, food and chemical industry, high technology and finance, securities and other fields.
Yan invested more than 100 million yuan in his hometown Quanzhou. In addition to Quanzhou Ye Xiang Garden and Yongchun Ye Xiang Commercial City, there is also Ye Xiang mineral water which is famous at home and abroad. In addition, he also enthusiastically donated to public welfare undertakings such as Huaqiao University, Liming University, Yongchun primary and secondary schools, hospitals, etc., and also offered his love for education in Fuzhou, Xiamen, Beijing, Shanghai and other places. Although Mr. Yan has hundreds of millions of assets, he doesn't touch alcohol and tobacco, and lives on bread and water every day.
In the process of pursuing "children from poor families take care of themselves early", Yan spent his study career of "work-study program" with excellent results in various subjects, but his university dream was difficult to realize because he was in the turbulent era of the Cultural Revolution. Yan, who had no choice but to settle for second best, found a job to support his family, and finally became an unplanned temporary worker in Yongchun County Oil Company, and became a bitter and tired oil salesman. Facing the hard-won job, Yan devoted himself to it with full enthusiasm, striving to "do a job and love a job" and eager to "become a talent in the post" as soon as possible. Yan devoted all his spare time to small inventions, small creations and small innovations on the basis of earnestly completing his job, and finally developed the automatic oil vending machine.
This successful invention made the little-known Yan famous overnight, not only won the Fujian Science and Technology Progress Award, but also became the best example of "self-taught" in the minds of young people. The success of a small experiment did not make Yan get carried away and lose the motivation to move forward. On the contrary, it further inspired his unparalleled enthusiasm for enriching his own knowledge. From 65438 to 0980, 24-year-old Yan was admitted to Fujian Radio and TV University under her own pressure, and devoted herself to studying electronics, in order to give full play to her potential in the electronics industry in the future and turn her intelligence into a more magnificent life. As he often reminds himself-"one can't choose the family and age of birth, but one can choose the road of life." No matter how difficult the world is, as long as there is an eternal ideal lamp in your heart, you will reach the other side of hope. A wise man who is good at planning his life path will eventually become an extraordinary person. "
Facing the first reform and opening-up, Yan, who is not content with the status quo, embarked on a long entrepreneurial journey of "Xiangjiang River vying for gold" with her 26-year-old extraordinary courage and fearless courage and high fighting spirit of "unsuccessful career and never returning to China". In order to meet the challenge of starting a business in a different place, as a "three-no-boy" without funds, experience and connections, Yan had to work as a handyman for "Gjesing Textile Company" from scratch, with a monthly salary of 1000 Hong Kong dollars.
He not only ran back and forth with a 200 kg cloth bag on his shoulder when he bought the goods, but also took the initiative to do all the chores in the company, such as cleaning, boiling water and cooking. He gradually won the appreciation of his boss, and was often taken to various social occasions to get to know some big names in the textile industry, which laid a solid foundation for him to work hard in the textile industry in Hong Kong in the future. In this way, on the one hand, Yan worked hard for "Gjesing Textile Company", on the other hand, she was quietly accumulating capital, learning experience and exploring ways for her future career. After eight months of hard work day and night, Yan gradually accumulated 8,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the impulse to start her own business could no longer be suppressed.
As a result, he hit it off with a fellow villager in Yongchun, who was in the scrap buying business. One is experienced and the other is physically strong. Each of them invested HK$ 8,000 to open a small junk shop. During the day, their smiling faces correspondingly sent ragged buyers; At night, they tirelessly classify, compact and package waste products; Because I disturbed my neighbors' rest again and again, I was either copied by the police or received a "disturbing sleep" summons from the court, so I had to admit my mistake and punish them again and again. After 65,438+03 months of hard work, Yan finally got the first bucket of gold-HK$ 55,000 with interest. With sweat and hard work, the first bucket of gold ended the career of "king of rags" without hesitation and began his career in the textile industry in Hong Kong with confidence. With a capital of HK$ 55,000, he raised HK$ 45,000 from relatives and friends, rented a house with two bedrooms and one living room as an office and living room, boldly hung up the signboard of "Ronghua Cloth Shop" and sounded the marching number for setting foot on the textile industry in Hong Kong.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is even more difficult to start a business alone. At the beginning of the "Ronghua Cloth Industry", due to the lack of funds and manpower, Yan had to carry the burden herself, sell the cloth herself, carry the cloth herself and deliver the cloth herself; No matter how many roads there are, whether it is profitable or not, you can earn a point, you can earn a point. As time goes by, Yan really doesn't want to tinker any more. He is determined to find the best way to achieve a qualitative leap. Shenzhen, as the bridgehead open to the mainland of China, is the main channel for Ronghua Cloth Industry to purchase goods. However, as Ronghua Cloth Industry is a small business, the goods it receives can only be piecemeal, and it is difficult to form a certain scale and combat power.
Once, Yan went to Shenzhen "Haipeng Company" to purchase goods. When asked, "You are the boss of the fabric industry, why do you only buy so few goods?" Yan Zhanggen blurted out honestly-"I don't have much money!" It is this casual truth-telling that makes the business director of Shenzhen Haipeng Company suddenly have a strong impulse of mutually beneficial cooperation-"If Teacher Yan is interested, our company can cooperate completely, and many of my colleagues can also help a lot." With Shenzhen colleagues' willingness to cooperate, as soon as Yan returned to Hong Kong, she kept discussing financing countermeasures with boss Lin of Gjesing Textile Company-"I can organize a lot of goods, but my liquidity is not enough, so I ask boss Lin to help my brothers." Boss Lin, who is good at the hidden rules of Hong Kong's textile industry operation, knew that there was a chance to make money after listening to Yan's words, and immediately lent Yan 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
In this way, under the support of the financing trick of "borrowing the road to drive", the business record of "Ronghua Cloth Industry" entering a container every day has been constantly refreshed, and Boss Lin earned a generous bonus with no effort. After only two months of ingenious operation, Ronghua Fabric earned its own funds that can be operated flexibly. Yan conveniently ended the financing measure of "driving by road" and started a completely independent commercial operation with confidence. One year later, "Ronghua Cloth Industry" has grown from the "Little Bean Ding" unmatched by Hong Kong textile industry to the "Little Dragon Man" with sales of tens of millions of yards. Yan didn't stop there. Instead, he upgraded "Ronghua Fabric Industry" to "Hong Kong and Ye Xiang Group", and he himself became a "Big Three" with abundant funds, rich experience and extensive contacts.
With her own efforts and clever operation, Yan quickly became a rising star in the textile industry, leaving a deep impression on her peers. Yan made a fortune and became rich, but he did not forget to give birth to his motherland and hometown. But with a fiery heart, try every means to find the best way to invest in the mainland. "Accumulating wealth is not the only pursuit of my life. It is my lifelong wish to give back to my motherland and hometown. Everyone in China has an obligation to make the country prosperous. Whether it is overseas Chinese or compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao, investing in the mainland is beneficial to the country and the people, benefiting the people and benefiting themselves. "
In the autumn of 1988, Yan enthusiastically set foot on the hot land of the mainland, and visited Hainan, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Yongchun and other places successively, comprehensively collected investment information of aquaculture, real estate development, textile manufacturing, food processing and other industries, and carefully selected the best partners and investment opportunities; 1in the spring of 989, in order to change the backward appearance of his hometown, Yan returned to Yongchun many times to discuss the investment and factory construction. Finally, we reached a cooperation intention with Yongchun Sanhong Food Factory, and jointly established Yongchun Huarong Food Co., Ltd., mainly producing biscuits. In Yan's heartfelt words, "I, Yan, want to do a few things for the economic development of my hometown, and I want to use my own actions to drive overseas Yongchun people to invest in my hometown."
1June, 1989, Yan brought 200 million Hong Kong dollars to Xiamen and boldly invested in the construction of Ronghua Building, Huachang Building, Regal Garden and Egret Garden with a total construction area of 200,000 square meters. These high-grade apartments, villas and office buildings with different styles and beautiful environment constitute a beautiful landscape in Xiamen. 199065438+February, Wuxi yanhua woolen knitting co., ltd, which has been preparing for one year, was officially put into production, with an annual output value of/kloc-0.50 million yuan and foreign exchange earning of 980,000 USD. 1990, Yan was busy starting a business, first establishing Xiamen Tianma Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Industry and Commerce Co., Ltd., and then establishing Xiamen Tianma Chinese Culture Village.
