After Kazuo Inamori became successful, he was yelled at by those who hated the rich. How did he respond?

This man started from scratch, but founded two Fortune 500 companies. At the age of 52, KDDI, which he founded, has become Japan's second largest communications company after NTT. In his 51-year business career, he has created many miracles and encountered many difficulties. When he retired, he donated all his personal shares to his employees, converted to Buddhism, and pursued supreme wealth to refine his mind. In his view, life is originally a process of improving the mind. With such pursuit and detachment, he has a perspective on life.

In 1932, Kazuo Inamori was born in Kagoshima, Japan. Since he was a child, he was not a smart child in the traditional sense, and he often failed in exams in junior high school, high school, and college. His initial dream was to be a doctor who could save lives and heal the wounded, but the reality was that after graduating from Kagoshima University's Faculty of Engineering, he went to work in a ceramics factory. Fortunately, he was not defeated by reality and continued to learn and accumulate experience at work. At the age of 27, Kazuo Inamori founded Kyoto Ceramics Co., Ltd., which is now Kyocera.

Inamori Kazuo advocated that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. A gentleman spreads his wealth in a righteous way. Thinking of the other party may seem to hurt his own interests, but it can bring unexpected results. He pursues perfection in his work, and once he gets into work, he works like crazy, day and night. If he has a strong desire for a certain goal, an intention will be formed in his mind, and any new happening around him will firmly point to that intention. Under the management of Kazuo Inamori, Kyocera grew at an astonishing rate and soon became a famous company. He believes that the three most important factors for an enterprise are professional talents, money, and technology. As long as these three factors are present, there will be operations. Among the three, talent is the most important.

However, Inamori Kazuo's success has aroused the jealousy of many people. After the war in Japan, it was a trend to choose smart and argumentative people as leaders, thus neglecting their moral norms and ethical standards. This led to frequent scandals in the political and business circles, and a "hate the rich" mentality among the Japanese people.

In 1998, a walkie-talkie manufacturer in Kyoto received many orders from the United States. In order to fulfill orders, the boss recruited thousands of workers and spent huge sums of money to expand the factory. Unexpectedly, orders were suddenly suspended and the factory was facing bankruptcy. The boss found Inamori Kazuo and hoped that he would lend a helping hand, saying that it didn't matter what happened to him, but he didn't want the employees to lose their jobs. The boss's words impressed Kazuo Inamori, so he acquired the company.

Unexpectedly, some employees of the company not only were not grateful to Kazuo Inamori for giving them the opportunity to be re-employed, but also repaid them with grudges, saying that since Kazuo Inamori was so rich, why didn't he get more money. They distributed leaflets near Inamori's villa and wrote slogans criticizing Inamori. One night, they came to the door of Inamori Kazuo's house and cursed: "Death to Inamori Kazuo, this vampire!" He should apologize to us! ?

The wife was frightened when she heard the shouting outside. Kazuo Inamori did not go out to argue with the gang, nor did he call the police. Instead, he covered himself with a quilt and continued to sleep. Seeing that Inamori Kazuo ignored them, those people walked away in despair. Later, Kazuo Inamori made concessions and the phone company gradually returned to normal, winning the hearts of most employees. Those who hated the rich were isolated and had to leave the company. Kazuo Inamori firmly believes that as long as people with simple and cheerful hearts can be gathered together and united, they will be able to accomplish great things.
