Southeast Asia'S First Rich Woman Who Learned To Make Money At The Age Of 4

In the latest list of Southeast Asian riches published by Forbes, the authoritative financial magazine, Lin Ailian, the Chinese President of Singapore water king Caifa group, has become the first woman ever to reach the top 40 of the rankings in the history of $240 million. At the same time, the 45 year old is also the youngest rich in the list.

He was born and abandoned: he was adopted by his mother-in-law for 1961 years, and Lin Ailian was born in the Jin Baogan list of Perak, Malaysia.

This is a town that is not rich. The people in the town have gone out to make a living, leaving only the elderly and children without financial resources.

When Lin Ailian was born, he was abandoned by his parents in a local hospital and became an orphan.

Later, a 63 year old mother-in-law adopted her, but the mother-in-law was not only extremely poor, but also gambling. She once sold the house for gambling debts, and Lin Ailian and the other 4 children she had adopted could only be squeezed into a shaky log cabin. Whenever it rains, the family will be flooded.

However, the hardships of life did not frustrate her expectations for the future.

As a child, she continued to cheer her mother-in-law: I will let you live in a comfortable big house in the future.

The gift of business: four years old, selling toys to subsidize family, Lin Ailian has shown remarkable talent in business.

When she was 4 years old, she knew how to sell her toys to her neighbor's little buddies, deposit the earned money in the money box, save a can, and give her mother-in-law to subsidize the family.

In order to make a living, she also helped her mother-in-law sell their own popsicles along the street.

After primary school, she learned to sell sandwiches and make rattan tools, earning herself a lot of tuition fees.

Poverty and poverty did not make little Elaine lose his enthusiasm for learning.

When she was 16 years old, she was admitted to Singapore junior college with her excellent performance. After 5 years, she entered National University of Singapore.

During school hours, she earned tuition by helping people with their lessons, selling insurance and writing letters.

Although half work and half time, each time the result is excellent.

After graduating from college, Lin Ailian received a bachelor's degree in chemistry and a pharmacist in a Holland pharmaceutical company in Singapore, earning an annual salary of $40 thousand.

3 years later, in 1989, she was keen to see that the wastewater recycling market had enormous room for development. So she resolutely resigned from her stable job, sold her car and house, raised $12 thousand, and set up her own company.

Because when I was a child, I told myself from childhood that I must do great things.

At that time, although I did not know what was a great event, this belief had always been buried in my mind.

At the beginning of the establishment of the company, she had only a small office and 2 employees, and 3 people ran around Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia every day to promote waste water treatment equipment.

As the boss of the company, she also often sells motorcycle on the street and goes door to door selling on the scorching sun.

At that time, Lin Ailian was even so poor that she could not get the welder. However, she could only enroll herself in a welder training course, and passed the welding work with excellent results.

If you look at the early works, you will find that those welding works are all my works.

Lin Ailian is proud of that.

When she was too hard, she told herself to bring a new hope every day and not to let frustration follow.

As long as we can afford it, put it down and see it, it will not be so hard.

In the end, Lin Ailian created the myth of ---16 years, an unremarkable small company, has become Southeast Asia's largest sewage treatment company.

Lin Ailian, now president of Kai FA group, has risen to $240 million and is the youngest and only woman in the list.

A single rich woman with a pet dog has no time to be lonely. Although Lin Ailian is so celibate as the first richest woman in Southeast Asia, she is now alone with her. It is a Alaska Arctic dog and a Sa Moyer de dog.

Running with her pet is the happiest time of her day.

Someone asked her whether she would feel lonely occasionally. She said that every day's heavy work gave her no time to be lonely.

Lin Ailian is still living a simple life.

Her biggest cost is only a semi detached house and a BMW car.

She never spends too much money on jewelry. The most expensive ornaments are watches, which are worn during sports, work and dinner.

The biggest hobby is traveling, like discovering new foods and enjoying beautiful scenery.

She also doesn't like social activities. She only likes to hold small meetings with acquainted friends.

In her spare time, she draws some cartoon and oil paintings at home, which is her childhood interest.

Friends say that she still maintains a rare town character and is a friendly and easy-going person.

Some people are very concerned about money because they have suffered too much.

But Lin Ailian is open-minded about it. As long as she is a charitable cause related to retired old people, children and education, she always gives generously.

The only regret for her was that she had never allowed her mother-in-law to live in a big house. Her mother-in-law had passed away without Lin Ailian's success.
