But when it comes to Chow Tai Fook, a brand of gold jewelry, people who want to buy gold jewelry may know it from the age of 18. Chow Tai Fook has more than 2,800 stores in Chinese mainland, which are located in major cities in China.
He started from the gold and jewelry industry, then set foot in many industries, and entered the real estate industry together with New World Development Industry Co., Ltd., and eventually became one of the four richest families in Hong Kong.
How did Zheng Yutong, whose family was poor, change his fate and fight back forcefully, from an uneducated man to a rich man, which made his legendary life.
Hard work is important to success.
Zheng Yutong was born in an ordinary family in Shunde, Guangdong on 1925. My father works as a clerk in a silk factory, and my mother takes care of her husband and raises her son at home.
A man named Zhou who worked with my father at that time had a good relationship with my father. How good is this? To be kind to the unborn child is to be kind to the in-laws who are married and have children.
Therefore, when Zheng Yutong was still in his mother's womb, he was already a son-in-law. At that time, no one could have predicted that a decision made by two ordinary fathers in a small town in China would have a legendary impact on China's future.
Marriage is settled, and life goes on. But in the process, one day at a crossroads, the two families went in different directions.
The Zhou family gradually accumulated some wealth. In order to escape the turbulent environment, they went to Macao in the south to make a living. Although the storefront is small, the social environment is relatively stable. Coupled with the diligent spirit of Cantonese people, their business has gradually improved and their life has become more and more prosperous.
Zheng Da's father is still working, but with the increase of children, the society is in turmoil and life is getting more and more difficult, almost to the point of survival.
At this moment, I remembered Mr. Zhou, my in-laws who were planning to get married, and sent the 15-year-old to Macau and entrusted it to my mother-in-law, a person who can make a living for her children. This also implies that the performance time was agreed two weeks ago.
One is that poor boys don't send text messages, and the other is that they have become rich girls. Status and family make marriage full of variables.
Mr. Zhou, the future father-in-law, refused to recognize the marriage and offered Mr. A Cheng a job as the future son-in-law.
He accepted Cheng's protection, regarded him as a person who came to see relatives when he was in trouble, and assigned Cheng to the bottom of the gold shop: handyman. Sweep the floor, clean the table and wash the toilet in the shop every day. It opens in the morning and closes at night. ......
Mr. Cheng readily accepted the invitation and started his work. He is the first to open the door at night and the last to climb it. When he was working in the shop, whether it was his own job or not, he did it very seriously whenever necessary, without saying a word, never shirking, never complaining, and almost never stopped from morning till night.
This hard-working attitude was seen by Mr. Zhou, the prospective father-in-law, and won his appreciation.
Talent is more important to success.
Zheng Yutong not only works hard, but also has a rare business talent. After testing Cheng Ming's character, his father-in-law began to cultivate his business mind by teaching him how to run a business. To Mr. Zhou's surprise, Mr. Cheng seems to have a gift for doing business from the beginning.
Zheng Yutong not only has his own unique ideas in business, but also has profound and keen insight, which is very rare among businessmen.
He often went to the market, did a lot of research, compared with his own shop, and then proposed very targeted improvement measures to his father-in-law. Mr. Zhou followed his advice, made continuous improvement, and his business was booming. Attracted by his diligence and talent, Zheng Yutong's life is about to undergo major changes.
More important than diligence and talent is opportunity.
Hard work and talent are both important to success, but both are more important to a person's success than the opportunity of ease.
I have to say that our protagonist Zheng Yutong is really a winner in life. He not only married the right person, but also engaged in the right career. More importantly, he captured every fleeting movement.
