Wang Chuanfu'S Secret Of Success: Perseverance And Strength To Win.

From the infamous peasant family to the president of hundreds of millions of group companies, Wang Chuanfu, the 26 year old national senior engineer and associate professor to the world's "battery king", the 37 year old business wizards wrote their youth creation myth with their wisdom, refinement and sweat.

However, before the Shenzhen BYD battery Limited by Share Ltd was listed in Hongkong in 2002, Wang Chuanfu, who had always acted steadfastly and steadfastly, seemed to be infamous. But after listing, taking the lead of Qinchuan automobile and the "entrepreneur star" selected by the US business week recently, the highly profitable battery manufacturing industry was not long ago. Wang Chuanfu, who was called BYD's chief executive Christof, "the young man making Chinese legend", summed up his experience at the beginning of her career: "the most important thing is to have adventurous spirit."

Wang Chuanfu was born in a common farm in Wuwei County, Anhui. He once had a carefree childhood.

When I was in junior high school, I experienced family misfortune, and from then on I was silent and devoted to learning and formed a strong and patient character.

In his view, life has a kind of hardness, the soul is unyielding, there will be a solid land at the foot.

In 1987, Wang Chuanfu, 21, graduated from the Department of metallurgical physics and chemistry, Central South University of technology, and entered the Beijing Nonferrous Metal Research Institute.

During his graduate years, he worked harder and put all his energy into battery research.

Just 5 years later, Wang Chuanfu, 26, was appointed as deputy director of the 301 room of the Research Institute. At that time, an opportunity to pform him from an expert to an entrepreneur fell from the sky.

In 1993, the Institute set up Beagle Battery Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen. Because it is closely related to Wang Chuanfu's research field, he became the general manager of the company.

Wang Chuanfu was excited when he was "ruling". When the domestic battery industry was in the ascendant with the "blowout" of mobile phones, an ordinary "big phone" was tens of thousands, and a battery was sold for hundreds of yuan.

Keen Wang Chuanfu's heart is hot, ready to go all the way, the situation is stronger than the people. In February 1995, Wang Chuanfu, who had been testing water for 3 years but with little success, decided to quit.

After borrowing 2 million 500 thousand yuan from his cousin Lv Xiangyang, Wang beat 20 people in the old workshops in Liantang, Shenzhen, and set up BYD Technology Co., Ltd., which has unlimited scenery in the future.

It is easy for a company to build a company. It is not difficult to produce a product. It is difficult to decide what to produce and how to produce. Sometimes it takes a risk. As an entrepreneur, strategic vision and open thinking are the capital of adventure.

In the middle of 1990s, the Japanese rechargeable batteries dominate the whole world. Many manufacturers in China buy the call core to assemble, with little profit and little competitiveness.

But Wang Congyi began to focus on the highest technology and the most profitable core production. In 1993, Wang learned from an international battery industry that Japan announced that it would no longer produce nickel cadmium batteries, which would trigger an international shift in the production base of nickel cadmium batteries.

He immediately realized that this is a golden opportunity for Chinese battery companies, and decided to produce nickel cadmium batteries immediately.

For the production line of tens of millions of dollars, Wang Chuanfu can only hope and sigh, but there is no way out for people. He simply makes use of technology to make key equipment by himself, and then decomposes the production line into one process that can be manually completed. The cost advantage of this semi-automatic semi artificial production line has become the "sword of the Shang Dynasty".

Byd Co soon opened the low end city to set up the company year, and he successfully sold 30 million nickel cadmium batteries.

Wang Chuanfu's perseverance and perseverance are the only way to win. Now it seems that he is willing to do what he wants to do, and the style of being decisive has added weight to his success.

Wang Ganzhi, director and executive vice president of Vc firm Asia Pacific Group, said: "Wang Chuanfu is a rare Focus who I saw. He studied battery, graduate student, battery, and battery." he said, "I am a very rare person in Hongkong."

The choice of rechargeable batteries is like that. From the lithium battery project, the Japanese battery corps, including Toshiba, Panasonic and SONY giants, has been destroyed by the Japanese battery Corps. To choose the Hongkong H-share listing and even to take the lead in Qinchuan automobile to realize the dream of "electric vehicle", Wang Chuanfu has shown the unique vision of "giving up my own person".

After being firmly in the field of nickel cadmium batteries, Wang began to research and develop Ni MH batteries and began producing large quantities of Ni MH batteries in 1997.

The new project will take immediate effect. This year, Byd Co nickel hydrogen battery sales reached 19 million, and entered the world's top 7 in one fell swoop.

In the year of 2000, Wang decided to invest heavily in the development of lithium batteries, despite his disapproval. He soon had his core technology and became the first Motorola lithium battery supplier in that year.

In 2002, BYD surged forward with a sales revenue of 2 billion 500 million yuan and a profit of 658 million yuan.

Wang Chuanfu was born in the "Forbes" mainland China rich list 41, and its painstaking "battery kingdom" has taken shape.

Now, many people are not optimistic about BYD's entry into the automotive industry. What is BYD's electric vehicle, which is abandoned by General Motors?

But Wang Chuanfu is determined to win.

He believes that the key to electric vehicles is battery technology. With the maturing of lithium technology, the energy of the electric vehicle market will soon show itself in two or three years.

BYD's main battery business still has two or three years of continuous growth, and its electric vehicle lithium battery technology is just in time.

The acquisition of Qinchuan is intended to build a platform for the industrialization of automotive batteries, and seize the opportunity of the electric vehicle market.

"In the manufacture of electric cars, I think we will take the lead in China. China has a large battery production base, and there are conditions for development."

On this point, Terry Gou, the boss of Hon Hai group, the largest manufacturing enterprise in Taiwan, shared similar views with his hero. The leading manufacturing tycoon had a plan to jointly control Qinchuan automobile with Wang. But Wang refused, and Wang said he had 200% confidence in the production of electric cars.

The success of entrepreneurs is a good example of learning. Wang Chuanfu is no exception.

Wang Chuanfu said that life is like climbing a mountain, and finding a mountain to find a way is a learning process. In this process, we should learn to be calm and calm, and learn how to find life from panic.

Wang Chuanfu's learning spirit has made a great achievement in the early stage of study.

In the process of building BYD battery Kingdom, we have studied tirelessly.

A notable example is that before he entered Qinchuan automobile, he began to study cars, and at the beginning of his business, he was like battery experts in the battery industry. This time he wanted to become an automotive expert first and then build a car kingdom.

Learning is mature, especially for a successful person who is at a golden age and whose career is rising rapidly.

When people have questioned BYD's entry into the automobile manufacturing industry, Wang Chuanfu, who has never tasted defeat and failed in his pioneering work, is not without worries.

But stubborn Wang Chuanfu believes that with the golden age of 37, he still has strong learning ability in the new field, and increasingly mature judgement and decision making, coupled with a more cautious attitude, he can still succeed.

It is also the continuous learning that makes Wang Chuanfu have the ability to see through life and the laws of economic operation. This must be called "I am a natural science" technical expert.

Wang seems to be a thirst for pparency. His 200 square meter office has two glass partitions.

The whole BYD, all the rooms are in this pparent atmosphere.

There is also a well known fact that in the circle, Wang Chuanfu only accounts for 28.8% of the personal shares in BYD Industrial Company, and 22.6% of the elders and senior executives who beat him together.

Wang Chuanfu said BYD has 40 millionaires.

BYD's organizational structure is also pparent and clean. Wang Chuanfu is not self abasement: "in market management, we emphasize that information flow must be simple and simple. The simplest thing is that the market and R & D are integrated into one's own.

I don't think it's troublesome to manage an enterprise. As long as we take the R & D and sales, we can't get anywhere else. "

At present, Wang Chuanfu has two goals: by 2006, SANYO will become the leader of the global rechargeable battery manufacturer, and the power of electric vehicle will expand BYD's territory.

We will wait and see if we can succeed.

Wang Chuanfu: 1966, born in Anhui, China, with a master's degree in 1990.

1995 founded BYD business in February.

Under the leadership of Wang, Byd Co has made remarkable achievements in the two field of rechargeable batteries, and the scale and scope of business are expanding.

In January 2003, BYD bought Qinchuan Automobile Co., Ltd., Wang Ren, chairman of the board. In April, the company officially changed its name to Byd Automobile Company Limited.

In view of Wang Chuanfu's outstanding business achievements, he was chosen as the 2003 Asian star of the US business week.
