Zhang Guoxi Entrepreneurship: From Ordinary Farmers To Billionaires

In 1993, an asteroid was named after Zhang Guoxi in the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

During the thirty years of reform and opening up, Zhang Guoxi has deduced the legend of life from an ordinary peasant to a tide maker.

In 1973, Zhang Guoxi, a 19 year old rural apprenticeship, shouted, "come with me!" when the Jiangxi County Yujiang Dun town farm implements and repair society is going to close down.

"Zhang Guoxi, who has sold his ancestral home for 1400 yuan with his family, broke into Shanghai and ventured back to his hometown of a carved camphor wooden box.

21 carpenters followed him in carving work, and the Jiangxi Yujiang craft carving factory came into being.

After the third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, the tide of reform and opening up surged.

This autumn, Zhang Guoxi came to Shanghai again.

This time he saw the shrine for exporting to Japan.

The shrine is exquisitely carved and complex, and its value far exceeds the carved camphor wood box.

Zhang Guoxi took the lead in tackling key problems, organized technical personnel, and successfully launched the shrine into the Japanese market.

In the next few years, the "snowball" of the shrine grew bigger and bigger in Zhang Guoxi's hands.

He constantly organized forces to carry out technological innovation, and the international competitiveness of "Yu carving" products was greatly enhanced, and he firmly occupied the overseas market.

In the early 1980s, when an average Chinese person earned only a few hundred yuan a year, Zhang Guoxi was already a billionaire.

"Without the opportunity of deepening reform and opening wider to the outside world, it will not be possible for me to have miraculous changes in my personal destiny.

Zhang Guoxi recalled that when many people were afraid to think about it, I not only thought about it, but also did it. I occupied the strategic commanding heights of market competition.
