In early 2020, an epidemic swept the world, and many businessmen rushed into the mask industry. The same is true for Zhu Huaiyang, the rich second generation.
Before this, he traded coins in Beijing, started from scratch, and earned a fortune of over 100 million yuan.
With this money, he can live a life of food and clothing in Beijing for the rest of his life.
, but he was unwilling to be mediocre, resolutely entered the mask industry and began to "roll" with his peers.
in his words.
"Some things always need to be done, and some money need to be made. Why can't this person be me?"
As a result, 500,000 yuan of funds were spent, and I lost all my money, and I couldn't make a penny in the end.
life's ups and downs, in just six years, he tasted it all.
But even so, he still did not give up on his exploration of this world.
How did he start from scratch and earn hundreds of millions in two years?
Why did
lose all his money in 2020 when the mask industry was booming?
Zhu Huaiyang, a young man from Wenzhou born in the 1990s.
The parents are doing business locally. When he was very young, they accumulated enough wealth. Zhu Huaiyang was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Before Zhu Huaiyang grew up, his parents owed a lot of money because of the failure of their business.
For more than ten years, all the wages earned by parents in their lives have been used to pay off their debts.
But when I looked back, I still had to pay interest for more than ten years, and I didn’t pay a single principal.
The moment he knew, Zhu Huaiyang's heart was a little broken.
"I can't continue like this. Otherwise, I will never pay off my debts in my life and live a hard life."
So, despite his boss' resentment, he quit his job at a newspaper with a salary of 200,000 yuan last year and came to Shanghai alone to work hard.
Under the influence of his parents, Zhu Huaiyang knew that if he wanted to make a lot of money in a short period of time, he had to dare to gamble and take the wrong steps.
So he started doing foreign exchange transactions in Shanghai. This time, he lost the bet. Not only did he not help his family pay off the debt, he also owed millions.
Added together, the total debt of the family has reached 9 million.
Late at night, Zhu Huaiyang stood in the rental house, looking at the bustling world outside the window, and fell into a deep fear.
He has experienced poverty and knows what poverty feels like. That kind of life is like the 18 levels of hell. He really lived enough of a life like
.
So I secretly swear in my heart that no matter how many times I fail, as long as I am still alive, I will continue to pursue wealth.
With the help of friends, in 2016, Zhu Huaiyang came to Beijing and lived in a dilapidated rental house on the outskirts of the city.
Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, his mood was completely different from last time.
"It's 2016 now. We just drank and smoked cigars . When we wanted to race, we found that we didn't have a sports car!"
"But I don't think this day will be too far. Within 500 days, we will definitely drive a supercar and gallop in this city!"
Zhu Huaiyang's words may be a little crazy, but this time, he did it.
He started to speculate in coins (bitcoin) at the suggestion of a friend.
During that period, it was the time when the price of Bitcoin rose the most. He invested hundreds of thousands, and it turned into millions in two months. Zhu Huaiyang didn't get a penny of the money
, and turned around and invested it again. In the past year, he earned nearly 200 million yuan.
You should know that a year ago, he was a penniless poor guy, who made every effort to make every effort in Beijing with the borrowed hundreds of thousands of yuan.
A year later, he was already driving a supercar late at night and drinking with his friends in the busiest nightclubs in Beijing.
All of this originated from Zhu Huaiyang's courage to bet.
"I already owe 9 million. Even if the investment fails, it is just a few more zeros behind the debt!"
"But if I win the bet, I can not only pay off all the debts, but also live the life I want. Why not gamble?"
Unfortunately, shortly after Zhu Huaiyang made money, the country began to crack down on cryptocurrency speculation, and the price of Bitcoin began to fall wildly.
Fortunately, at the peak, Zhu Huaiyang had already cashed out.
is ready to invest in other industries with nearly 200 million in cash.
He has sharpened his knife and is preparing for his next big bet.
At the beginning of 2020, due to the outbreak of the epidemic, the demand for masks increased greatly, and the supply of meltblown cloth was also very tight. The price of
has increased from 20,000 yuan per ton to 400,000 yuan per ton.
meltblown cloth is the core material for making masks.
Generally, masks are divided into 3-5 layers. In addition to the outermost layer of cotton cloth, the middle layer is made of meltblown cloth. The role of meltblown cloth in
is mainly to isolate bacteria and viruses present in droplets, and is also the key to the mask being able to block the spread of new crown . The shortage of masks and meltblown cloths made Zhu Huaiyang smell a hint of business opportunities.
He took action decisively, invested 5 million yuan, and together with several investors, he founded a mask manufacturer and started producing masks.
The beginning of the business, Zhu Huaiyang was full of confidence and thought to himself that he just sold a mask? You will definitely be able to run your business very vigorously.
But after actually experiencing it, I found that it was not the case.
No matter how simple or small the business seems, you should not be underestimated before entering the industry, otherwise you will suffer a big loss. On the first day of
, Zhu Huaiyang and several partners went to the factory to buy the meltblown fabric needed to make masks.
Zhu Huaiyang had never done a mask business, so he knew nothing about meltblown cloth. The manufacturer said yes to him, so he believed it.
After buying it for 500,000 yuan per ton, I found that the quality of this batch of meltblown cloth was very poor, and the masks made could not be inspected at all.
The moment he learned the news, Zhu Huaiyang was very annoyed. He even wanted to rush to the seller's factory and burn it with fire.
But he knew that the most urgent thing now is not to sue the other party, but to contact the return as soon as possible. After one set of processes in
, not only did they not make a penny, but they also lost a lot of shipping costs.
finally got the raw materials, and the factory entered a stable production period. At this moment, the factory manager held a meeting for them. At the
meeting, the factory director said that when investors purchase raw materials for masks, they need to settle the payment on site, and the factory will no longer advance payment.
One sentence made all the investors present nervous.
Four workshops and four investors, they only have one order from Paraguay , and there is no news about any other orders.
One million order, four investors snatched it together, and each of them wanted to get an extra piece of cake, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Shortly after the meeting ended, in order to increase production, Zhu Huaiyang sold a sports car he bought in 2018 and received 1.5 million yuan in cash.
Zhu Huaiyang did not keep a penny of the money and invested all of them in the factory.
"I have a lot of cars. I don't like this car, so I can sell it!"
was working overtime on Zhu Huaiyang's production line and was rushing to work frantically, an accident happened again.
The Ministry of Commerce has published a white list of 43 companies that produce masks. Zhu Huaiyang's factory is not among these 43 companies.
In other words, the masks produced by Zhu Huaiyang cannot go abroad at all, and his previous investment is equivalent to in vain.
After learning the news, Zhu Huaiyang felt very disappointed.
He has invested more than 5 million yuan in masks, and now he has not seen a single cent of his money back.
If the mask produced cannot be exported, his 5 million will be wasted.
Fortunately, things are not without a turnaround. After the list was announced, the factory manager has submitted the application.
After one month, you can get the relevant certificate for exporting masks.
After hearing this news, Zhu Huaiyang finally felt relieved.
He called his home for a long time. Unlike Zhu Huaiyang's anxiety, his parents were open-minded about this matter.
They told Zhu Huaiyang that there was no need to be confused about this matter.
"Anyway, the family's debt has been paid off, and now they don't have to worry about food and clothing. Even if they lose money, it doesn't matter. They just took a class with very expensive tuition!" After
hung up the phone, Zhu Huaiyang's frown finally relaxed.
Although he cannot be as open to all problems as his parents, at least his parents' words will make him feel much more at ease.
"Even if the sky falls, I will still have a home!"
Unexpectedly, this sentence will be rumored. In the near future, Zhu Huaiyang's innocence will collapse.
The next day, Zhu Huaiyang came to the factory to work normally. When he heard the news from his partner, he felt like he was hit by lightning.
"The order of 1 million in Paraguay was not signed at all!"
In other words, the so-called orders that have been received are completely a scam from the factory, just to let investors invest money.
After learning the news, Zhu Huaiyang had a big fight with the factory manager, but no matter how fierce the argument was, they could not let the orders come out of thin air.
The moment he returned to the workshop, Zhu Huaiyang collapsed on the ground, and at this moment he still had a glimmer of hope.
"I have so much spot in my hands. Even if there is no Paraguay order, I can sell it in the future!"
After all, the epidemic is so serious now, so I don't have to worry about no sales.
Unfortunately, the news came later made him completely give up his struggle.
The factory director told Zhu Huaiyang that when the order is set, Party A requires the production of five-layer masks inside and outside.
The four-layer masks they produced before were not delivered at all.
Zhu Huaiyang sat on the ground and smiled bitterly. He never expected that he, who had been in the mall for a long time, would fall so much this time.
The mask production line he worked hard to prepare collapsed in just one month and the factory was also announced to be closed.
only leaves the waste left after producing masks in one place. When I bought it, I bought it for hundreds of thousands per ton, but I sold it for only 1,000 yuan.
But even though life is so good for him, Zhu Huaiyang does not regret it.
"I am a person who thinks a lot. If someone tells me you can't handle it, I must prove it to you!"
"Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. I want them to see Zhu Huaiyang who solves the problem, not Zhu Huaiyang who only knows how to drive sports cars!"
After the failure of this investment, Zhu Huaiyang did not give up.
He still has a lot of funds to let him gamble. I believe that in the near future, he can bet on a future again.
After the incident fermented, Zhu Huaiyang was inevitably labeled as "making wealth in the country" by netizens.
Zhu Huaiyang was stunned for a moment and then responded.
"After all, some things always have to be done, it depends on how to define the national crisis and wealth!"
"At a particularly high price, goug the price and sell it to people in need, and even strange goods are rare. This is called making wealth in the national crisis!"
"And I just sell masks seriously. After exporting, I may only make a few dollars. I think the money I make is quite conscientious!"
Indeed, just as Zhu Huaiyang said.
"Some things must be done by someone!"
An excellent businessman is the one who sells the right goods at the right time and in the right place and succeeds.
Nowadays, Zhu Huaiyang may not be considered an excellent businessman.
But he dares to break out, dares to fight, and believes that in the near future, Chinese business will definitely have its own place.
As long as he maintains this belief and works hard for it, I think sooner or later, he will realize his dream.
