Ren Zhengfei: Money can't buy a poor boy

Ren Zhengfei was born in 1944 in a poor village in Zhenning County, Guizhou Province. He spent his youth in extreme poverty. Several people covered a quilt together and cooked in the pit. The sight of poverty made even the rebels who came to raid their homes stunned.

Ren Zhengfei didn't wear a new piece of clothes before the age of 19. Because there are many children going to school, mothers start worrying about their children's tuition fees every new semester, and often have to borrow money from others to maintain. Even in such an environment, Ren Zhengfei's parents insisted that all seven children go to school and did not let them give up their studies to help support the family. Two months before Ren Zhengfei's college entrance examination, his mother gave him an extra small tortilla every morning to support him in going to school.

Ren Zhengfei once said with emotion: "If this is not the case, maybe I can't start a company like Huawei, and there may be one more pig breeder in the society, or one more on the street. It's just a skilled craftsman. This little corn cake was pulled out of the mouths of my parents and younger siblings, and I can't repay them."

In 1963, 19-year-old Ren Zhengfei was admitted to Chongqing Construction Engineering College (now merged into Chongqing University), but at this time the family’s financial situation was even more stretched, and the situation of younger siblings was even more difficult. The mother did her best to prepare two shirts and a stitched sheet for her son, to accompany him through 4 years of hard college life.

When Ren Zhengfei was a sophomore in his sophomore year, the "Cultural Revolution" broke out, but he still calmed down and completed all the courses on electronic computers, digital technology, and automatic control by himself. Ren Zhengfei also taught himself 3 foreign languages. At that time, he could already read foreign language textbooks at the university. He is now going to Europe and the United States for inspection, and he can negotiate business without an interpreter.

Many successful people in China have experienced poverty, so they have developed a good character of hard work and perseverance, and this is often the explosive power of their entrepreneurial period, and poverty is also affected by it. Called the "wealth" of successful people. This also laid a good foundation for him to found Huawei and bring Huawei to an independent industrial road.

Konka, Skyworth, TCL, and themselves have gone through many ups and downs, but they are still tenacious and will be remembered. Li Dongsheng developed a "local guerrilla" type of small business that the country did not invest a penny into, and developed it into a giant in China's color TV industry.

In 1995, when 24-year-old Wang Yawei gave up his original electronics major to join the financial circle, he would not have thought that he would be labeled "China's capital market idol" label. Relying on continuous excellent performance, Wang Yawei is the only fund manager in the industry to break the "champion curse", and finally established the status of "the first brother of the fund".

In 1989, Wang Yawei was admitted to the Department of Electronics of Tsinghua University as the champion of the college entrance examination in Anhui Province. In 1994, Wang Yawei joined CITIC International Cooperation. Here he first came into contact with securities investment.
