A painful childhood
Zeng Fanzhong is a bitter child who came out of a remote Yaoshan mountain in southern Hunan. At the age of seven, his father left their mother and son and passed away. He had to drop out of school as soon as he finished the fifth grade of primary school. Every day, he helps his family with farm work, chopping wood, picking tea and picking bayberries in the mountains, and then carrying them with a small pole to sell in a town more than ten miles away. After finally saving a little money to go back to school, he studied hard for three years, finally passed the secondary school and jumped out of the small mountain village. He was lucky to become a primary school teacher after graduation.
After passing the self-study exam, Zeng Fanzhong successfully passed all the courses of journalism, undergraduate and postgraduate in a few years. Later, he was transferred to the county government For a poor child who has come out of the backcountry, it may be enough to hold an "iron rice bowl". However, at the beginning of 2000, he resolutely gave up the stable and comfortable office work in his hometown and set foot on the hot land of Dongguan. ...
With hundreds of published literary works and a large number of honorary certificates, Zeng Fanzhong easily obtained the position of editor-in-chief of the enterprise newspaper of a computer equipment company. Editor-in-chief, in fact, besides running newspapers well, he is also responsible for a lot of work. The newspaper published regularly every month is firm. He is responsible for the overall implementation of enterprise training and corporate culture, and even the cutting, carving and posting of publicity slogans are his own operations. In just a few months, the company's corporate culture has taken on a new look and is thriving. At this time, watching the company's corporate culture on the right track, Zeng Fanzhong chose to leave again. He went to Shenzhen, Guangzhou and other places to do planning and advertising design. After many twists and turns, I finally couldn't bear to leave Dongguan and return to a woolen mill in Changping to become the editor-in-chief of the factory newspaper. The factory environment is comfortable and the company leaders appreciate him, but he can't restrain his entrepreneurial passion. A few months later, he submitted his resignation report and started to set up his own advertising design company.
A difficult start
In fact, the hardest thing is that at the beginning, for Zeng Fanzhong, a stranger who just came to Dongguan for less than a year, how easy was it to start his own company?
In order to buy economical and practical computer equipment, he almost traveled all over the computer market in Guancheng, and it was inconvenient to take a car. So he walked and shuttled through the streets, grinding out several blisters on his feet. Raising money, renting a house, buying equipment and getting a license ... like a nest in spring, his company finally took shape. At this time, the year has come, enterprises have a holiday, and employees go home for the New Year. In order to save money, Zeng Fanzhong simply spent a lonely year in Dongguan, studying alone with a computer and a design book every day. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the company started work, and he immediately went out to find customers with a large stack of his own advertising copy and design works.
One, two, three ... within seven days, he found more than 20 enterprises, but none of them were willing to give him the business. They think that Ceng Fanzhi's company is too small and has no scale, and they are afraid that what he does can't meet their requirements. Just when he was discouraged, on the eighth day, the head of a company in Dalang Town read the newspaper he designed and decided to ask Zeng Fanzhong to design the first issue of their company's internal magazine and give it a try. There is no way to go because of the winding water flow in the mountains, and a mountain village suddenly appears in the willow-green flower bay. In the next few days, Zeng Fanzhong successfully received several orders, and his company finally ushered in the first batch of business and was able to operate smoothly.
Without money to hire helpers, Zeng Fanzhong started his own business, typing, designing, proofreading, printing and delivering goods ... Sometimes customers are in a hurry and have to work all night. When they are sleepy, they wash their hair with cold water and wake up to continue their work. I remember a business trip to Guangzhou. When I returned to Guangzhou Railway Station, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Zeng Fanzhong, who was reluctant to spend money to "take a taxi", had to sit in the open space at the entrance of the railway station and take out the books in his bag to pass the time. He fell asleep unconsciously after watching them, and was awakened by the patrolling security guard at three o'clock in the morning, almost treating him as a tramp.
On another occasion, a printed matter had to be transported from Guangzhou Railway Station to the bus station more than a mile away. In order to save money, he just carried 100 kilograms of goods on the overpass and got off the overpass, and his clothes were all soaked with sweat when he got on the bus. Another time I went out, near noon, I felt that there was only one dollar coin left in my pocket, staring at the price list in the restaurant, and I only had a bowl of rice porridge. Drinking rice porridge, who can see the figure reminds me of the days when I worked in the company. I have never been so shabby as I am now, and tears can't help falling. ...
There is always a reward for giving. In the first month, several businesses were successfully completed. The inner pages of magazines, trademarks, picture books and posters designed by Zeng Fanzhong were unique, novel, beautiful and generous, and won unanimous praise from customers. After deducting the expenses of the first month, he made a net profit of 1200 yuan. Although the money is not much, it is less than half of his monthly salary when he was the editor-in-chief of the company, but this is his first income since he started his business, and Zeng Fanzhong regarded it as the first bucket of gold in his life.
After more than two years of development, the company operated by Zeng Fanzhong has made great progress, with more personnel and equipment, and the business volume has reached a certain scale. Now it has become a large newspaper design and printing professional company in Dongguan, and the designed newspaper won the first prize of national excellent newspaper design. We have undertaken the business of posters, leaflets and internal publications of dozens of enterprises, such as Celestite (Top 100 in the world) and Deyongjia Clothing (one of the largest printing and dyeing enterprises in the world). Our business scope has expanded to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Huizhou and other places, and we have opened branches in Guangzhou. We have also been invited to participate in the activities of the 3rd China International (Dongguan) Automobile Expo and the 10th China Advertising Art Festival.
Generous feedback
As a poor child who came out of a mountain village, Zeng Fanzhong often remembered that there were many children like him who stayed in the mountains all their lives because their families were too poor to go to school. At the end of 2003, Zeng Fanzhong founded the Personal Development Education Foundation, and used part of the money earned by the company to support out-of-school children in poor areas such as Zunyi, Guizhou, Baise, Guangxi and Yongzhou, Hunan, and to support education in mountainous areas. With his help, dozens of dropouts returned to school.
From teaching and educating people to donating money for education, Ceng Fanzhi realized the accumulation of wealth, overcame poverty, found the value of life, and realized the dream of a Confucian businessman supporting rural education. He said that without strong economic strength as the backing, cultural and educational undertakings could not develop better, and our children could not get the education they deserve.
Today, Zeng Fanzhong is no longer an ordinary migrant worker, but a successful small entrepreneur. His deeds were reported by more than 40 newspapers and media, such as World Excellent Talents International Exchange Network, People's Daily, China Education News, Hunan Satellite TV and Dongguan TV. , and has been included in more than ten dictionaries, such as The Grand Ceremony of World Excellent Talents, The Treasure House of China's Cross-century Excellent Talents and China's Contemporary Entrepreneurial Talents.
Looking back on the situation at the beginning of his own business, Zeng Fanzhong felt a lot. He said: The first bucket of gold I earned will always be in my memory. The first bucket of gold strengthened my confidence in taking the road of entrepreneurship. I know my company has yet to develop. When the company has a considerable scale, I decided to spend some money every year to help out-of-school children return to school. In addition, I also want to build Hope Primary School, so that more children from poor mountainous areas can attend school. In order to achieve this goal, I still need to work hard, and I will unswervingly follow the road of entrepreneurship I have determined. ...
