Bitter childhood

Zeng Fanzhong was a bitter boy who came out of a remote Yaoshan Mountain in southern Hunan. When he was seven years old, his father left the six of them, mother and son, and passed away. He had to drop out of school just after finishing the fifth grade of elementary school. He helped his family with farm work every day, going up the mountain to cut firewood, pick tea leaves, and pick bayberries, and then use a small pole to carry them to a small town more than ten miles away to sell. After finally accumulating some funds to return to school, he finally passed the technical secondary school after three years of hard study and escaped from the small mountain village. After graduation, he was lucky enough to become a primary school teacher.

After passing the self-study exam, Zeng Fanzhong successfully passed all journalism associate, undergraduate and postgraduate courses in a few years. Later he was transferred to the county government unit. For a poor boy who came from a remote rural area, maybe he should be satisfied with the "iron rice bowl". However, in early 2000, he resolutely gave up the stable and comfortable government job in his hometown and set foot on the hot land of Dongguan...

With hundreds of published literary works and a lot of awards and honors, Certificate, Zeng Fanzhong easily found the position of editor-in-chief of the corporate newspaper of a computer equipment company. He is said to be the editor-in-chief, but in fact he is responsible for many things besides running the newspaper. He is responsible for the regular publication of newspapers every month. He is also responsible for corporate training and the comprehensive promotion of corporate culture. Even the cutting, cutting and posting of promotional slogans are handled by him personally. In just a few months, the company's corporate culture has taken on a new look and is booming. At this time, seeing that the company's corporate culture was 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, he finally couldn't bear to leave Dongguan and returned to a woolen factory in Changping to become the editor-in-chief of the factory newspaper. The factory had a comfortable environment, and the company leaders appreciated him very much, but he couldn't restrain his entrepreneurial passion. A few months later, he submitted his resignation and began to set up his own advertising design company.

The Difficult Entrepreneurship

Everything is difficult at the beginning. For a foreigner like Zeng Fanzhong who has just arrived in Dongguan for less than a year, how easy is it to start his own company?

In order to buy economical and practical computer equipment, he almost went to all the computer markets in Guancheng. Taking the bus was inconvenient and expensive, so he walked. Walking through the streets and alleys, I developed several blisters on my feet. Raising funds, renting a house, buying equipment, applying for a license... Like a swallow swallowing mud to build a nest, his company finally took shape. At this time, the New Year has come, companies are on holiday, and employees have returned to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year. In order to save money, Zeng Fanzhong simply spent a lonely New Year in Dongguan, alone on the computer every day, studying with design books. 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 advertising copywriting and design works.

One, two, three... Within seven days, he found more than 20 companies at once, but no one was willing to hand over the business to him. They felt that Zeng Fanzhong's company was too small and did not have a large scale, and they were afraid that what he did would not meet their requirements. Just when he felt discouraged, on the eighth day, after seeing the newspaper he designed, the person in charge of a company in Dalang Town decided to let Zeng Fanzhong design an issue for their company's internal magazine to try. The mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way, and the willows and flowers are dark and the flowers are bright in another village. In the following days, Zeng Fanzhong successfully received several more orders. His company finally received its first batch of business and was able to operate smoothly.

Without money to hire help, Zeng Fanzhong ran the business by himself, including typing, designing, proofreading, printing, and delivery... Sometimes customers needed urgent goods, and he had to work all night long. When he was sleepy, he would drink cold water. Rinse your head, wake up, and get on with it. I remember once I went to Guangzhou to contact business. When I finished my work and returned to Guangzhou Railway Station, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Zeng Fanzhong, who was reluctant to spend money for a "taxi", had to sit on the open space in front of the train station and took out the bag from his bag. He read books to pass the time, and fell asleep unconsciously while reading. He was woken up by the patrolling security guard at around 3 o'clock in the morning, and he was almost taken into custody as a homeless person.

Another time, a piece of printed matter had to be transported from Guangzhou Railway Station to the opposite bus station, a distance of more than a mile. In order to save costs, he carried more than 100 kilograms of items up and down the overpass. Overpass, by the time I got on the bus, my clothes were soaked with sweat. Another time when I went out, it was almost noon, and I felt in my pocket that there was only one one-yuan coin left. I stared at the price list in the restaurant, and all I had left was a bowl of white porridge. As I drank the white porridge, people could be seen, and I remembered the days when I worked in the company. I have never been so shabby as now, and my tears couldn't help but fall down...

There will always be rewards if you give. Return. The several orders received in the first month were successfully completed. The internal magazines, trademarks, picture albums, posters, etc. designed by Zeng Fanzhong were unique, novel, beautiful and generous, and received unanimous praise from customers. Excluding expenses in the first month, he made a net profit of more than 1,200 yuan. Although the money was not much, less than half of his monthly salary when he was the editor-in-chief of the company, it was his first income since starting a business, and Zeng Fanzhong regarded it as the first pot of gold in his life.

After more than two years of development, the company run by Zeng Fanzhong has made great progress. The number of personnel and equipment has increased, and the business volume has reached a certain scale. It has become the largest newspaper design and printing enterprise in Dongguan. A professional company, the newspaper it designed won the first prize for national outstanding newspaper design. It has undertaken posters, leaflets, internal publications and other services for dozens of companies such as CELESTICA (the world's top 100) and Deyongjia Garments (one of the world's largest printing and dyeing companies). The company's business scope has expanded to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Huizhou, etc. It has opened a branch in Guangzhou and was invited to participate in the 3rd China International (Dongguan) Automobile Expo and the 10th China Advertising Art Festival.

Generous feedback

As a poor boy who came from a mountain village, Zeng Fanzhong often thinks of many others like him who have stayed in the countryside all their lives because their families are too poor to go to school. Children in the mountains. 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 in Guizhou, Baise in Guangxi, and Yongzhou in Hunan, and to support education in mountainous areas. Dozens of out-of-school children were raised in Returned to school with his help.

From teaching and educating people to donating funds for education, Zeng Fanzhong achieved the accumulation of wealth in the process of doing business, overcame poverty, found the value of life, and also fulfilled the mission of a Confucian businessman in supporting rural education. dream. He said that without the backing of strong economic strength, cultural and educational undertakings cannot develop better, and our children cannot get the education they deserve.

Today Zeng Fanzhong is no longer an ordinary migrant worker, but a successful small entrepreneur. His deeds have been reported by more than 40 newspapers and media including the World Talents International Exchange Network, People's Daily, China Education News, Hunan TV, Dongguan TV, etc., and have been included in the "World Talents Ceremony", "China Transnational "Treasury of Wisdom of Outstanding Talents of the Century", "China's Contemporary Entrepreneurial Talents" and more than ten dictionaries.

Looking back at the beginning of his business, Zeng Fanzhong was filled with emotion. He said: The first pot of gold I earned will remain deep in my memory forever. The first pot of gold strengthened my confidence in starting a business. I know that my company still needs to develop. When the company reaches a considerable scale, I decide to use part of the money every year to support out-of-school children so that they can return to school. In addition, we also want to assist in the construction of Hope Primary Schools so that more children from impoverished mountainous areas can enroll. In order to achieve this goal, I still need to work hard, and I will continue to walk unswervingly along the entrepreneurial path I have identified...
