In 2005, a domestic sedan that only sold for tens of thousands of yuan was unveiled, with amazing sales. Its name is BYD F3 and its founder is Wang Chuanfu.
Only two years later, in 2007, Wang Chuanfu made a bold statement that BYD Auto will be the world's number one in 2025! He said: There are "nuclear weapons" that will impact the automotive industry! At that time, everyone felt that Wang Chuanfu was bragging after hearing this!
After that, BYD's development began to enter the fast lane and was favored by the stock god Buffett in 2009. Buffett said that Wang Chuanfu is a combination of Edison and Bill Gates .
After Buffett invested in BYD, his stock price rose sharply, and Wang Chuanfu ranked first in Hurun China's 100 Rich Rich List.
In 2015, BYD won the first global new energy vehicle sales championship, and electric buses also successfully landed in Japan.
Wang Chuanfu, who has achieved success and glory after his success and glory, has also presented his experiences from childhood to adulthood. A rural child born in grassroots has a net worth of 10 billion yuan. This experience itself is a legend.
Wang Chuanfu: The person I am most grateful to is his brother and sister-in-law. Back then, my sister-in-law sold her dowry to support him in college!
Wang Chuanfu was born in 1966 in a small mountain village in Wuhu, Anhui Province. He has 5 sisters, 1 brother, and 1 sister.
Raising so many children is a kind of pressure in itself. Fortunately, Wang Chuanfu's father had a skill and was a famous carpenter in the local area. In the surrounding villages, he was asked to make furniture, so life was still acceptable.
has economic conditions, and his father Wang is well-behaved, so he later joined the party and became the secretary of the brigade.
The biggest regret of Wang Father in his life is that his education level is not high. So based on his ability, he fully supports going to school regardless of boys and girls. Not only that, I will also take the initiative to learn in my spare time.
Under the guidance of words and deeds, Wang Chuanfu and his brothers and sisters are very sensible.
However, God always brings bad luck from time to time. In 1979, Wang's father suddenly fainted. After being sent to the hospital in time, he was rescued. But after examination, the patient was diagnosed with cancer.
This terminal illness that cannot be cured until now, let alone back then. After returning home for a while, the prince's father still reached the end of his life. Before dying, I called the children to the window and explained it hard, so that they must study hard and strive to get into college.
Wang Chuanfu was only 13 years old at this time. After losing the pillar of the Wang family, his life suddenly became difficult. In order to reduce the burden on the family, the five sisters had to drop out of school early to get married, and even the younger sister was arranged to live at the family of relatives.
The originally lively home was left in a few years, only my mother, brother and Wang Chuanfu were left.
Originally, Wang Chuanfu saw his family like this, and wanted to give up his studies and go out to make money to support his family. But because of his best grades, he has the greatest hope of getting into college. The eldest brother scolded him fiercely, telling him to go to school well and fulfill his father's wish.
Two years later, my mother also passed away due to illness.
This year, Wang Chuanfu was admitted to high school.
The brother is also at the age to marry and have children. During the blind date in the village, he introduced a girl to his brother Wang Chuanfang, named Zhang Juxiu. Given the current situation of the Wang family, the villagers said that it is difficult to marry this relative, and the girl should not be willing.
In fact, this is true, and Zhang Juxiu's family strongly opposed it.
It’s just that Zhang Juxiu herself is very independent. After she met Wang Chuanfang, she felt that this man was very responsible and responsible. Family conditions can be improved, but if your character is not good, it will be difficult to change.
So with Zhang Juxiu's strong insistence, the marriage was led to.
Wang Chuanfu was also very happy to see his brother getting married.
In order not to let his sister-in-law dislike him, as long as he doesn't go to school, he will take the initiative to do housework and never ask for anything. He will either wear clothes given by others or make up for them.
Zhang Juxiu is also a meticulous person and takes good care of Wang Chuanfu. I was afraid that he would feel inferior, so I used the money I had saved up to buy him new clothes, but I was reluctant to buy them.
Seeing his brother and sister-in-law working hard for him, Wang Chuanfu studied harder and finally got admitted to Central South University of Mining and Metallurgical, which is now Central South University.
In the same year, Zhang Juxiu gave birth to a girl, which was considered a double happiness.
I will naturally be happy with having children, but I also have more people, so I have greater pressure. Wang Chuanfu once again thought about not going to school to work. After knowing that Wang Chuanfang was naturally cursed again.
It was just that when Wang Chuanfu cried and told the reason, the whole family felt uncomfortable. In the end, the brother and sister-in-law firmly asked Wang Chuanfu to go to school, and they found a way to find a way for tuition fees.
Zhang Juxiu sold the dowry at the bottom of the box and a pair of gold earrings. The two brothers also went out to work for a while before they collected the tuition fees.
Wang Chuanfu was going to Changsha to go to school, so he advised his brother and sister-in-law to go together to see if he could do some small business, after all, his livelihoods in the village are limited.
Seeing that Wang Chuanfu went to college, he didn't need to take care of him anymore. Zhang Juxiu went to her parents' home to borrow some money, moved to Changsha with Wang Chuanfu, and started a snack business, so Wang Chuanfu went to school to report with confidence.
Wang Chuanfu, who went to university, still has excellent grades and can get scholarships every year. Except for my own expenses, I gave the rest to my sister-in-law. My brother and sister-in-law are more at ease and hardworking, and the more they do business.
In 1987, Wang Chuanfu was admitted to the Beijing Nonferrous Metals Research Institute and began to study batteries.
After graduation, the school hired Wang Chuanfu to stay in school. By 1993, Wang Chuanfu was already the general manager of Shenzhen Big Battery, a subsidiary of the research institute.
It is precisely because of this experience that Wang Chuanfu realized that the development opportunities of the battery industry are huge. After all, one of the core technologies of the big brother’s mobile phone that was popular back then was the battery.
Wang Chuanfu, who has experience in technology and market development, decided to give up his own job and start his own business. He told his brother and sister-in-law about this idea, and of course he was dissuaded. After all, the work within the system is still stable, and starting a business is risky after all, and it is not small.
Under Wang Chuanfu's excited persuasion, his brother and sister-in-law finally agreed. At worst, failure is a failure. It is still easy for top students to find a job.
After convinced his brother and sister-in-law, Wang Chuanfu found his cousin Lu Xiangyang, who is an entrepreneur. After understanding his thoughts, Lu Xiangyang immediately decided to pay for it and Wang Chuanfu contributed to this matter together.
In February 1995, BYD was established, focusing on the secondary rechargeable battery business.
Since the founding of the company, Wang Chuanfu has firmly adhered to the business philosophy of "technology is king and innovation is based". He continued to learn, test and adjust, and gradually made his mark in this industry.
In the Asian financial crisis in 1997, many companies went bankrupt, but BYD stood out and gained 40% of the global market share.
has successively opened branches in the Netherlands, Hong Kong and the United States.
After several years of development, BYD has gained a firm foothold in the field of secondary rechargeable batteries. Wang Chuanfu, who had a keen eye, set his sights on new energy vehicles again.
Faced with the once-in-a-century automobile change, Wang Chuanfu keenly discovered the changes in the industry very early, and began his green dream in 2005 and formulated a forward-looking strategy.
The BYD F3 released in 2005 was a great success. Two years later, BYD went public and Buffett invested 10%, directly pushing up BYD's stock price and developing into the fast lane.
At that time, Buffett also asked Tesla CEO Musk what he thought about BYD. Musk said disdainfully: "BYD does not have its own excellent products at all, and it does not pose a threat to Tesla."
But Wang Chuanfu at that time was like he had traveled through time since 2030. firmly believed that BYD would become the number one in China, and BYD would also become the number one in the world by 2030!
Time flies, and now BYD's electric buses, taxis, family cars and industrial vehicles are spread all over the world, becoming the world's leading new energy company.
took ten years, and with the persistence of technology and the help of policies, BYD became the global new energy vehicle sales champion for the first time in 2015. The sales volume of
in 2022 has surpassed Tesla.
Wang Chuanfu is now 56 years old and is still busy with his domestic new energy vehicle career. You should know that once China can gain the lead in the new energy field, it will produce many supporting industries and provide countless jobs, which is very important for overall economic development.
In addition to work, Wang Chuanfu also has a habit. I just don’t rush to go home after get off work every day. Instead, I went to the villa opposite my home to have dinner and talk, and then went home to rest. The people living in this villa are Wang Chuanfang and Zhang Juxiu.
Only by keeping your original intention in mind can you achieve the end.
Wang Chuanfu is like this for family affection and career!
Yu Minhong asked when interviewing Wang Chuanfu: What kind of feeling is this that makes you seize such a good opportunity?
Wang Chuanfu said: It was not for money at that time, but just a responsibility!
Yu Minhong asked another sharp question: Chinese car logo can easily make the people feel very rustic, but how dare you push it up?
Wang Chuanfu only replied two words: Bone
It is said that BYD has such a banner hanging inside: A nation that can make spacecraft go to the sky, how can there be no national automobile technology madman!
This is the silent persistence in Wang Chuanfu's heart.
I hope he will continue to work hard in the field of new energy and achieve a legend belonging to China.
