For many so-called successful people, especially those who have achieved certain achievements in business, many media often like to make myths about them, such as "born from poverty", "starting from scratch", "using one's own strength to turn the tide and helping the building fall", various workplace chicken blood and inspirational chicken soup, come at your mouth.
may be because the media has praised it so much that some successful people themselves believe it, and not only do they believe it themselves, but also "recommend the old things" in public from time to time.
Among them, the more typical one is Foxconn boss Mr. Guo Taiming .
I believe most netizens have heard of the story of Boss Guo Taiming and "born from scratch" about "Boss Guo". After all, the business stars who had a relatively high exposure rate at the time, besides Li Ka-shing's (and Li Ka-shing's eldest son Li Zeju , who was kidnapped by "The King of the Century" Zhang Ziqiang ), it was Terry Gou (and Foxconn's 13 consecutive jumps).
At the same time, like Li Ka-shing, Guo Taiming also married a good wife who helped her career greatly.
Many netizens know that Li Ka-shing came from a scholarly family, and both of his uncles had experience studying in Japan. Li Ka-shing's father also mainly engaged in education. "Born from poor" is absolutely nonsense.
Then, Li Ka-shing had an uncle named Zhuang Jing'an , which is the " watch king " in Hong Kong at that time. Zhuang Jing'an has an only daughter named Zhuang Yueming , and later became Li Ka-shing's wife.
"Rich uncle" + "uncle's only daughter = his own wife", Li Ka-shing's "starting from scratch" is also unbelievable.
Taiming Guo was born in a civil servant family and his father worked in a judicial organ. In Taiwan that year, it was also very pleasant to be able to work in the agency. "From a poor background", it doesn't seem to be very compatible with Boss Guo, at most it's ordinary!
At the same time, Boss Guo's ex-wife is called Lin Shuru . Lin Shuru's father is Lin Baixin , which is Mr. Lin, the "garment king" who bought Hong Kong Asian TV (abbreviated as "ATV").
It is said that when Terry Gou encountered difficulties in his business, Lin Shuru once borrowed 700,000 Hong Kong dollars from her parents' home to help Terry Gou through the difficulties.
Although 700,000 Hong Kong dollars is not a large amount today, "one time and another time", according to the price and consumption level at that time, 700,000 Hong Kong dollars is definitely an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
Some netizens on Tianya have analyzed that in the 1970s, a thousand-foot "luxury house" was only tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars (1㎡≈9 square feet), which is now 5 million to 10 million Hong Kong dollars. At that time, you can buy more than a dozen Hong Kong Island units with a size of more than 120 square meters (not remote areas of Kowloon). According to this algorithm, the 700,000 Hong Kong dollars at that time was equivalent to 70 million to 100 million today! The boss of
Wanda and former richest man Wang Jianlin gave his precious son Wang Sicong only 500 million yuan in starting funds...
"start from scratch" is also full of "soft rice" for Boss Guo.
However, on the contrary, Terry Gou is also very good to his ex-wife. Although the two have long been separated by yin and yang, every time they pay homage to their ex-wife, Terry Gou always does some very touching behaviors.
Although I have eaten "soft rice", it is rare to maintain a grateful heart.
