Shi Xiaoyan: From A Small Nurse To A Billionaire Woman

From the angel of the Concord Hospital to the overseas student on the other side of the ocean, from the full-time wife of the husband to son, to the owner of the "Lino Yi" of the assets of billions of dollars, from a small shop with only a few sofa to a large automobile park, from a nurse to a chairman, Shi Xiaoyan completed his jumping life in only seven years, and eventually built his Noah's Ark.

Little nurse job hopping

Like many successful people, there are many "interludes" behind her success. "I went to sports school, swimming and volleyball at 5, and I played until I graduated from high school. I began to say that I was exempt from exams, and then I changed. I belonged to a smart smart person with a bad score of 25.

After graduation, Shi Xiaoyan was assigned to the dirty and tired Department of orthopedics ward.

She was able to take care of the hardships and pressure of the work, but the monthly salary of 70 yuan and the 60 Fen night shift allowance were too much for her.

In 1984, Shi Xiaoyan did not consult with anyone. He was suspended from Union Hospital and applied for a receptionist at a foreign company.

In such a position as a foreign company, it is puzzling that she has not learned to type and computer, but she has been appreciated by her boss.

Shi Xiaoyan said frankly, "I can't use computers even today. I just want to deal with people. I will do whatever I do.

Give up what I can't do.

Mr. Yip once was Shi Xiaoyan's boss and later became her husband.

Mr Yip moved from several major companies to IBM.

However, her husband's annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars did not give Shi Xiaoyan a sense of security.

When he returned from studying in Canada, Ye Ming chin was the darling of a foreign company.

In 1989, Shi Xiaoyan's husband, Ye Mingqin, went to work in Singapore. She was no longer willing to be a full-time wife of the husband and son. He first started a tour guide. Later he began to buy a house and sell a house in Singapore.

She said: "at that time, I did not consult with my husband. I bought a house for the first time to buy a red light district. I sold the house for the second time, and I made 8 million new coins. When I looked for the north, I thought I was fit for trade."

Shi Xiaoyan, who is looking for "feeling", has understood the concept of home in developed countries, and has seen a home of taste and design. She can not wait to start her career at a high starting point.

So she paid $70 thousand a year to study interior design in Wellington, Chicago.

Shi Xiaoyan has already valued the furniture industry in the ascendant in China.

Shi Xiaoyan is a hot potato. Her first single furniture business is to provide all the furniture for more than 200 apartments in a villa.

For the sake of the $3 million business, she gave up her studies and did not import furniture directly from the United States.

This is the single business that made Shi Xiaoyan's first army annihilated in the first year.

A failure did not only make Shi Xiaoyan less daring, but she was more "less aware".

At that time, she thought that she could not only import furniture from abroad, but also had a considerable scale of production capacity, so she rented hundreds of square meters of stores in COFCO square, which had furniture "Ding" brand reputation.

Shi Xiaoyan has repeatedly set up a monthly retail sales of 1 million yuan, but it did not last long enough to experience her second "Waterloo" campaign.

Build Noah's Ark

Since entering 2000, Shi Xiaoyan, who has watched the flourishing world furniture market, has established Lino's new furniture style -- neo classical and post-modern.

This is not only the style of the earth, but also the style of the ocean. Not only many people like it, but also many foreigners are willing to go far and buy furniture from her.

The name of Illinois has also opened the door to the international market and represents the ten largest brands of furniture in the world.

According to Shi Xiaoyan, every day her competitors come to the store as customers, furniture and furniture.

Shi Xiaoyan has always been a hard nut to crack with her competitors. She likes to fight against strength from a young boy.

But sometimes, her strong power also puts pressure on her employees.

The employees also complained: "most of her names are at work, and we swear when we do something wrong."

To this question, Shi Xiaoyan's explanation is: "I often tell my employees not to be influenced by my emotions. Do not mind if I come to tears today or laugh."

If the enterprise develops too fast and feels unable to control it, I will be particularly emotional.

Now I have fewer opportunities to go insane, but my voice is also hoarse.

I think they are more afraid of me, and I'm not very successful.

As an upper class, we really can't let employees feel that they dare not say anything, they say what they love and what they can do.

Mr. Shi Xiaoyan, whose education and experience is stronger than Mr. Shi Xiaoyan, has resigned from the work of foreign companies and devoted himself to helping his wife.

Can he balance his mind?

Mr. Ye said, "the combination of us is a gang of people. She is a wolf.

I am a railway operator. She is a locomotive. She takes the enterprise forward. "

Shi Xiaoyan is now the chairman of the investment group of Illinois group, and has seven or eight subsidiaries. Today, Illinois already includes furniture, cars, hotels and even clothing.

The full-time wife of that year and her husband with high salary were completely pposition.

For this dramatic change, Shi Xiaoyan and her husband joked, "I like people calling me Miss Shi, this particular occupation."
