When a poor boy meets a rich girl
Guo Taiming's ancestral home is Jincheng, Shanxi Province, and was born in Taiwan in 1950. The four brothers and sisters live a life of their meager salary as a police father. A family of 6 is crowded in a small cottage.
As the eldest son, Terry Gou , due to his poor family, he even earned his tuition for studying in a "maritime junior college".
After graduation, Guo Taiming met with Lin Shuru while working in a pharmaceutical factory. Lin Shuru is the school beauty of Taipei Medical College. At the same time, her father, Lin Baixin, is the founder of Hong Kong Lixin Group. He bought Asian TV with a family property of more than 9 billion yuan.
Think about it, with this kind of rich background and appearance, the suitors line up should be longer than the line queuing up to drink Heytea now!
But love should be aside the added value of social identity. The rich girl fell in love with Terry Gou. Perhaps it was because of the unyielding spirit that Guo Taiming came from a military family, or perhaps it was because of his good character that he could endure hardships.
She doesn’t care about the secular style, no matter what her background is, the person she considers is the best. For love, the beautiful rich girl broke off relations with her family and resolutely chose to be with the poor boy Terry Gou.
Soon, the two walked into the wedding hall together.

borrow money to start a business, run for love,
After the internship, Guo Taiming faced two paths.
First, continue to stay, make a name for yourself, and wait for promotion and wealth; second, run away and make a fortune.
He thought about it and chose the latter again and again, on the one hand, for his own future, and on the other hand, for his choice to follow his wife.
Start a business, without starting a startup capital is just a empty talk. Terry Gou, who has just entered society, naturally finds it difficult to save much.
I know that my son is better than my mother. My mother quietly borrowed a sum of money from the Biaohui - a private lending organization among friends and relatives. Not much, 100,000 yuan was given to his son Terry Gou.
took my mother's life-saving money and got together with a few friends, which was enough to make up NT$300,000. In 1974, Hon Hai Plastic Enterprise Co., Ltd. was quietly established in Taipei.
Initially, the factory was not large in size, with only 15 employees, starting from the button to select a station for black and white TVs, with more than a dozen people working day and night.
Until now, Terry Gou still recalls when he first started his business, he worked from day shift to night shift, and then worked from night shift to night shift. If he couldn't hold on, he would use the phone book as a pillow. He said that In contrast, young people often say "More money and less trouble to stay close to home, sleep until they wake up naturally." He said: "If my child has this mentality when facing work, I will break his leg the next day."
At the same time, in order to contact colleagues in the industry, Guo Taiming often invites some colleagues to his home for dinner. Every time Lin Shuru will receive him warmly, winning praise from customers.
However, due to insufficient initial operation experience, the company was in trouble for a while. Lin Shuru, who silently supported her husband's business, finally borrowed NT$700,000 from her parents' family to turn around when Terry Gou's career was not going well.
If you marry like this, what else can your husband ask for? !

believe in inconspicuous changes!
Every inconspicuous small decision may change all the direction of future things. How to use the 700,000 borrowed by my father-in-law? He was trapped in a painful choice again.
Should I buy a piece of land, build a factory and start working, or rent a piece of land and introduce foreign technology?
Finally, Terry Gou chose the latter.
At first, when people around him made a lot of money because of land appreciation and housing speculation, when the venue rents increased but the skills were not yet mastered, When his son was so hungry that he cried because he had no money to buy milk powder. He also doubted whether he made the wrong choice?
History has been spoiled in advance. Terry Gou is quite foresight. Instead of seeking a moment of speed, he chose to learn advanced technology and pave the way for the future world factory. After all, you can only make money by speculating in real estate, but you can’t enjoy the technology for a lifetime.
Relying on the mold technology introduced by Japan and its large quantity and low price strategy, Hon Hai Company has captured a large number of world-renowned merchants and quickly occupied the market.
In 1982, Terry Gou spent 16 million to make computer cable assembly parts.
In 1985, he began to establish a branch factory in the United States and founded the brand that resounded throughout the world - "FOXCONN" (Foxconn).
2001, Hon Hai Group 's annual turnover reached NT$144.2 billion, becoming a leading private enterprise in Taiwan.
He bought a 250-year-old castle for his beloved wife Lin Shuru in the Czech Republic, named it "Serena Castle" after his English name.
In 2005, Terry Gou became the richest man in Taiwan with a net worth of US$3.2 billion.
However, there were unexpected events in the world. Lin Shuru died of illness at the age of 55.
Three years later, 68-year-old Terry Gou got married for the second time and married Zeng Xinying, who was 24 years younger than him. Before remarrying, he braved the scorching sun to come to Lin Shuru’s cemetery and kissed his tombstone three times, hoping that his ex-wife would understand.
After more than 40 years of development, the Hon Hai Empire and its subsidiary Foxconn have become synonymous with the "global factory".
Apple, Samsung, Panasonic , Intel, Motorola , etc. are all important customers, and the person behind it Terry Gou has become the "king of global foundry factories."
On June 8 this year, Foxconn Industrial Internet Co., Ltd. was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange with financing of 27.1 billion yuan. As of now, the market value of FUC is 334.426 billion yuan, while Terry Gou’s net worth is 8.5 billion US dollars (about 57.8 billion yuan), and he is still firmly in the throne of the richest man in Taiwan.
From a poor boy to a billionaire today, Terry Gou has been tragic and inspiring throughout the journey. He himself believes that no one is born poor, and the key lies in whether he is willing to give up or try himself.
