Chapter 26 25. A Good Man's Honest Life——Record of Yang Zhengquan, the Second National Moral Model

Yang Zhengquan is well-known in Weihai, Shandong Province. Take a taxi and tell the driver to go to Yang Zhengquan’s “Qingwei Aquatic Products Purchase and Sales Department.” Needless to say the address, he will take you directly to the owner of Yang Zhengquan’s Purchase and Sales Department on Tongtong Road. When someone wrote a letter to Yang Zhengquan, the envelope only said "Yang Zhengquan received", and the postman would deliver the letter to Yang Zhengquan accurately. Why is Yang Zhengquan known by so many people?As the saying goes, people have steelyards in their hearts.Yang Zhengquan is recognized by everyone as a good man.For more than 30 years, he has done countless good deeds, and his advanced deeds have already penetrated into every family in this beautiful seaside town.He operated with integrity and helped countless people in need.People are used to adding the word "good guy" in front of his name.

When it comes to businessmen, it is always easy for people to think of "no business, no fraud" and "speaking profit in business". Even if some businessmen do good things, they are often regarded as "hype" or "show". Is it true that a good businessman has no noble morals at all?Yang Zhengquan's actions gave the best answer and interpretation to this question. After suffering a big loss, I realize that "integrity" is precious Integrity is the first brand in business and the guarantee of business success - said Yang Zhengquan. Over the years, Yang Zhengquan has tasted the sweetness of being honest. It is precisely because of integrity that Yang Zhengquan has a firm foothold in the fierce competition and has become the "boss" in the industry.

Yang Zhengquan said that when he made up his mind to engage in honest management, he had to start with the hardships he suffered because he did not pay attention to product quality. In 1972, Yang Zhengquan graduated from high school. At that time, the Weihai garrison went to Lu'an, Anhui to recruit soldiers, so he signed up for the army. One day not long after he joined the army, Yang Zhengquan went to post a letter in the mailbox, and suddenly found a paper package under his feet. When he opened it, he found a large pile of money. He picked it up and handed it to the battalion department quickly. He left without leaving his name.Later, during the assembly, the chief recognized him at a glance, praised him at the meeting and called on all soldiers to learn from him.

Due to Yang Zhengquan's outstanding performance, the army leaders arranged for him to do the paperwork and identified him as a cadre training target.Originally, when the military service expired, Yang Zhengquan could logically be promoted to stay in the army, but at that time, it was catching up with the army's layoffs, and Yang Zhengquan was included in the demobilization list. It stands to reason that the army has regulations, and Yang Zhengquan should return to his hometown in Anhui to arrange work for demobilized soldiers.The leader felt that Yang Zhengquan was a good candidate, so he asked for Yang Zhengquan's opinion, made an exception and kept him in the local area, and assigned him to the party branch secretary of Ganyao Village, Yuanyao Village, Sunjiatuan Commune, Weihai City.

A "hair-headed boy" came to the village to serve as the secretary of the village branch, and the villagers murmured in their hearts, could it be okay to hand over the village to him? After Yang Zhengquan took office, he found that the land resources in the village were very scarce, and the development of agriculture could not solve the food and clothing problem at all, and there was no way out, so he decided to focus on agriculture with one hand and sideline business with the other.His sideline business involves construction, fishery, fruit industry, breeding, carpentry and other fields.

In the special historical period of "taking food as the key link", many people could not accept the sideline business ideologically.They believe that the duty of a farmer is to plant good land, and those "crooked ways" will not work at all, so they are opposed by many people. With the smooth development of the sideline business in the village, the economic benefits are constantly emerging, and the living standards of the villagers are gradually improving. Everyone looks at this "hair-headed boy" with admiration. People found that although he was young, he was thoughtful, courageous, and organized, and he devoted himself to his work and did good things for the villagers.

Yang Zhengquan suddenly became a big celebrity in the whole commune. The commune leader found that Yang Zhengquan was very business-minded, and decided to let him manage the commune-run factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy, and Yang Zhengquan readily agreed. This factory mainly produces plastic products such as plastic fishing net lines, plastic toys, and plastic bags.The first thing Yang Zhengquan did after he became the factory manager was to find out the reasons for the poor efficiency of the factory.After analysis and research, he found that there are two reasons, one is that the equipment is outdated, the technology is not good, and the quality of the products produced is poor; the other is that the market is saturated and the product sales have not been opened.

According to this situation, Yang Zhengquan decided to implement the strategy of walking on two legs.On the one hand, he sent someone to organize a group of people in the factory to overhaul equipment, study technology, and develop new products; on the other hand, he went to the market himself to open up sales. Yang Zhengquan decided to deal with the inventory first and realize the products in stock as much as possible.He wholesales some of the overstocked products, and sells others directly in the market.In this way, the inventory was effectively reduced and a lot of losses were recovered.

Yang Zhengquan learned that there are still some defective products in stock that cannot be sold.It turned out that due to backward equipment, some of the plastic bags produced were uneven in thickness, and all of them were returned by customers. They could not be sold, and it was a pity that they were destroyed, so they were suppressed. When Yang Zhengquan was running his business, he learned that a manufacturer of safes needed to customize plastic dustproof bags to cover the outside of the safe. .This item alone made up for hundreds of thousands of yuan in losses for the factory. Yang Zhengquan carried dry rations on his back, traveled all over the country, ate and slept in the open, and after hard work, he finally opened up the market for the products, which were in short supply for a while.

The company is thriving, but something unexpected happened. Due to the influx of orders, people eager to get rich took advantage of Yang Zhengquan's sales outside to cut corners, adulterated fakes, and reduced the production process... As a result, a large number of products sold were returned, and many customers came to ask for explanations. The capital chain of the cooperative factory was suddenly broken. A large number of defective products could not be sold, and a large foreign debt was owed to pay off, and the factory was on the verge of bankruptcy. Yang Zhengquan felt extremely guilty.Focusing only on the market and sales, but not on the team, led to such a result. Yang Zhengquan believed that he had an inescapable responsibility as the factory manager.

He offered to resign voluntarily and took away a total of 90,000 yuan in debt. Relatives and friends persuaded him, don't be stupid, the factory is not well managed and there is a problem, you just take the leadership responsibility, why resign?Besides, even if you want to leave, you don't need to carry debts. When people go to sea, they take away their connections and technology. Why do you want to resign with debts? Even the leaders of the commune said that there is no precedent for an individual to resign with the foreign debt of a collective enterprise, and you don't have to do it. But Yang Zhengquan said, if I take away the foreign debts, the new director of the factory can go into battle with ease.Besides, if I don't plug this hole, I will be restless for the rest of my life. Yang Zhengquan started his career of "crossing the sea" with the "big burden" of 90,000 yuan in debt. 90,000 yuan was not a small amount back then!When he was working in the factory, Yang Zhengquan, the factory manager, only earned more than 40 yuan a month, and 90,000 yuan was an astronomical figure. Yang Zhengquan sat alone blankly, he was worried, when will the 90,000 yuan be paid back?He was so sad that he wanted to cry. Yang Zhengquan sometimes even dreamed that he was carrying a heavy burden and couldn't move an inch. But no matter how hard it was, Yang Zhengquan was unwilling to tell his wife Wang Shumei that he felt that women's ability to bear it was weak, and he couldn't bear to let his daughter-in-law follow him in fear, so he decided to bear it alone no matter how difficult it was. Some people say that frustration is a sharp knife. On the one hand, it cuts your heart, and on the other hand, it digs out a new source of water. Yang Zhengquan thought over and over again, and he clearly realized that the culprit of this "big burden" was "dishonesty". Yang Zhengquan, who suffered a great loss, learned that honesty is so precious. Since then, he has regarded honesty as his life. Yang Zhengquan rented a small house of more than ten square meters on Jiefang Road, selling steel products, boards, building materials, agricultural and sideline products, grain, oil, and fruits.Although there were many small episodes in the business, it was still smooth, and it was still profitable, and the debt was shrinking day by day. The daughter-in-law saw that Yang Zhengquan was struggling to start a business, so she brought a few people to scrub the polluted plastic and earn some money to help support the family. Three years later, Yang Zhengquan officially unloaded this "big burden" and paid off all the debts. On this day, Yang Zhengquan was in a particularly good mood, as if he had been imprisoned for 3 years and was finally free.He decided to have a good time celebrating.He, who never drank, came home from get off work and bought a bottle of beer. At dinner, he poured his daughter-in-law a glass, and then said with a smile on his face, "Shumei, come, let me offer you a toast. You have suffered all these years. From tomorrow on, you will stop washing plastic." Wang Shumei is a cheerful person, she took a cup and drank it down.Then he said puzzledly: "Why are you so polite, it's nothing, I still feel uncomfortable if you don't let me do something!" Yang Zhengquan thought, I work hard all day long, and I don't get my money back. Life is so difficult, my daughter-in-law doesn't even doubt it, how innocent she is, he works hard with me to endure hardships, and I cheat her.Yang Zhengquan felt guilty for a while, and wanted to tell her, but he swallowed the words. In 1987, Yang Zhengquan bought a retail store on Tongtong Road, planning to distribute dried seafood.But what name should I choose? This year, Weihai City was officially designated as a prefecture-level city by the state. Yang Zhengquan was very happy, and he had an idea to call it "Qingwei"! "Qingwei" was born in this way, and it has been used for more than 20 years.No one expected that in the past 20 years, the honor and disgrace of "Qingwei" has been closely linked with this small town, and won him a series of dazzling honors. On Yang Zhengquan's business card, there is such a sentence: "A good man is a good man, honest and trustworthy, and seeks money through virtue." This is the goal that Yang Zhengquan set for himself at the beginning of his operation, and he has strictly adhered to it for more than 20 years.He believes that writing it on his business card is a spur to himself and also for others to supervise. Speaking of Yang Zhengquan's stories of good deeds and honesty, the Weihai People's Congress can list a lot of them endlessly. Anyone who makes dried seafood knows that this industry earns conscience money.If the dry humidity of the product is slightly higher and the salt content is higher, there will be big money.But Yang Zhengquan thought it was ill-gotten gains, and he didn't want this "big money" that was obtained against his conscience.According to expert calculations, Yang Zhengquan lost 200,000 yuan in annual income only in terms of sea rice and sea cucumber business. Yang Zhengquan attaches great importance to product quality, and he wants to provide consumers with the most satisfactory products.Therefore, every purchase is strictly checked, according to the procedure of "touching, looking, smelling, sniffing, weighing, and pinching" meticulously to inspect the goods, and finally sampling and autopsy.If it is found to be adulterated and fake, even the most familiar customers will be mercilessly returned. In the summer of 1998, Yang Zhengquan came back from outside and found that a box of low-quality dried shrimps to be returned had been unpacked, and 2 bags were missing.After asking, I found out that a group of tourists from Jinan had just bought 12 catties of dried shrimps in the store, and the unknowing clerk took the wrong goods.Hearing that those tourists rushed to catch the Jinan bus after leaving, Yang Zhengquan hurriedly took high-quality dried shrimps, dragged the clerk to the bus station, finally found those tourists, and exchanged dried dried shrimps. The tourists were so moved that they gave their thumbs up: "Weihai is a beautiful city, and its people are even more beautiful. Weihai people are all about credibility!" Some merchants specialize in defrauding tourists from other places. They think, anyway, tourists will leave after buying, and maybe they will never come again, so why not take the opportunity to make a profit.Yang Zhengquan didn't take it seriously. He said that it's a matter of sincerity and trustworthiness to make a small profit but lose the external image of Weihai people, let alone sloppy. What a "great sincerity and great faith"! Yang Zhengquan has been in business for many years. He not only regards himself as a businessman, but also firmly remembers his other role - a member of the Chinese Communist Party.He believes that since he is a member of a city and even a country, it is his responsibility to maintain his reputation.At this time, I seem to have seen how a person who values ​​integrity has reached the highest state of "great sincerity and great faith". I believe this is a qualitative leap in soul cultivation. Yang Zhengquan's business has become more and more prosperous, and his sales area has also spread to other provinces and cities across the country. In today's society, fraudulent activities abound, and some mistrust between buyers and sellers is inevitable.Therefore, when doing business with customers across provinces and cities, there is a contradiction between paying first or delivering first. Customers are often worried about what to do if the money is remitted and not delivered, or what to do if the goods are of inferior quality, or whether to file a lawsuit?Not only do you have to be angry, but you can't afford to waste time. People often adopt the method of "paying for the goods and delivering the goods" or "collecting money from a third party". However, Yang Zhengquan broke this rule, and customers always have a high degree of trust in Yang Zhengquan. Sometimes the customer would make a phone call or send a fax to place an order, and the payment would be remitted to Yang Zhengquan's account first, and then the goods would be delivered.It's been like this for years, never a single error.In the hearts of customers, doing business with Yang Zhengquan is a hundred peace of mind. Walking into Yang Zhengquan's old store on Tongtong Road in Weihai, the employees are busy moving goods. Diagonally opposite is a new store. I pretended to be a customer and asked about the price of sea cucumbers. A salesman introduced it to me enthusiastically in standard Mandarin. , asked me whether I should eat it by myself or give it away, and when I learned that it was for myself, she was not in a hurry to recommend a large and expensive one, but recommended a small one to me. She told me that although this sea cucumber is not very good-looking , but it is also 2 to 3 times larger when it is launched, and the price is very affordable. Then I asked, what if I gave it away?The girl still smiled and said, I can recommend three types to you, and you can decide according to who you want to send. Of course, the quality of sea cucumbers in our store is absolutely no problem... This girl has such a bright smile, and her eloquence makes people feel warm in the heart, very familiar with the business, and well-trained.I think, if I am a customer who wants to buy sea cucumbers, if I walk into "Qingwei", I will be satisfied. As the saying goes, take a small loss and make a big deal.Yang Zhengquan is a person who is willing to suffer. He often said that suffering is a blessing. In the winter of 2006, the well-known wild sea cucumber from the Yellow Bohai Sea was out of stock on the market.However, Yang Zhengquan had the foresight to include a lot of inventory when the output was high.People in the know say that Yang Zhengquan can make a fortune now, not only will he not worry about sales, but he can also sell it at a high price. On this day, a fellow old king came to visit, but he hesitated and couldn't say a word. Yang Zhengquan said: "Dude, just say what you have to say, and see if I can help." Lao Wang said: "To be honest, I really can't say it. Isn't it just to make money in business? I thought that last year's sea cucumber harvest was good, and this year's supply will be no problem. Our five colleagues signed a sea cucumber purchase and sales contract in advance. Unexpectedly, the stock of japonicus japonicus is suddenly out of stock this winter, and the goods cannot be supplied. The problem is that there are still two contracts with foreign companies. Now if the goods cannot be supplied, not only will we have to bear high compensation, but our reputation will also be ruined.” Yang Zhengquan listened carefully, and then said: "Don't worry, I still have the goods here." Lao Wang said: "If you are willing to allocate the goods to us, we will be grateful. We are willing to buy at the market price, and we will not make any money from this order." Yang Zhengquan said: "people in business say that colleagues are enemies, but I don't think so. I think colleagues are friends and relatives. How can relatives and friends not help when they encounter difficulties? I will still pay for this batch of goods at the purchase price. you." Lao Wang was so moved that he didn't know what to say. Yang Zhengquan said, this is the reputation of our Weihai, the reputation of our entire industry, and I have an obligation to maintain it, so you are welcome. This incident has been passed down as a good story in the industry.From this incident, I once again thought of Yang Zhengquan's "great sincerity and great faith". Over the years, Yang Zhengquan has invited his peers to dinner every year at the end of the year. He brings his peers together for a party, learns from each other, and imparts the way of business without hesitation. He really treats his peers as his relatives. Therefore, Yang Zhengquan was honored as "the boss" by his peers. They said it was a respectful title, they respected Lao Yang very much, and they were willing to discuss with him when encountering important issues.They believe that Yang Zhengquan is worthy no matter in terms of age, seniority, or character. Yang Zhengquan later became a philanthropist, it is no accident, it has to start from his childhood.Because he grew up in the infiltration of kindness, selflessness, and the spirit of helping others in his childhood. In 1952, Yang Zhengquan was born in a peasant family in Lu'an City, Anhui Province.In Yang Zhengquan's childhood memory, the most unforgettable thing is that his family was too poor to eat.At that time, there was nothing to eat, and even the bark was peeled off. Yang Zhengquan, who just remembered, was so hungry that he couldn't sleep, crying, and his mother brought a bowl of cold water and said, "Baby, drink a bowl of water and you will be full. Go to sleep." !" The neighbor's aunt heard the Yang family's children crying, and brought over half a bowl of brown rice.The family is so poor that they can't support their own children, and the mother even adopted 2 orphans.In my memory, there were often floods in my hometown, and the food my father caught in the floods was always divided into several shares and distributed to neighbors. Yang Zhengquan's young mind was tempered by those difficult years to develop deep sympathy for the needy people. When Yang Zhengquan entered junior high school, he was catching up with the upsurge of learning from Lei Feng in the society. In that year, Yang Zhengquan's outlook on life and values ​​also changed. He is determined to do good deeds like Comrade Lei Feng.At that time, every day after school, he had to help five-guarantee households to carry water, sweep the floor, wash clothes, wash pots, wash dishes, collect firewood, and do some housework within his ability.No matter how poor his life is, Yang Zhengquan will save his own dry food and distribute it to his classmates who have more difficult lives. At the age of 16, Yang Zhengquan, who had been doing good deeds for several years, was a typical example of young people learning from Lei Feng. He told nearly a thousand people about his advanced deeds of learning from Lei Feng in the auditorium of the Lu'an Special Administrative Office. From then on, Yang Zhengquan made up his mind to do good deeds like Lei Feng for the rest of his life. Yang Zhengquan fulfilled his promise with his life.Counting from the age of 16, I have done good deeds for 40 years.No wonder people call him "good guy Yang Zhengquan"! Yang Zhengquan loves his hometown deeply, and every plant and tree in his hometown affects his heart. Back then, when the burden of 90,000 yuan of public debt was removed and his business became profitable, Yang Zhengquan thought of donating. In 1992, the hometown was hit by floods, houses collapsed, and the life of the villagers fell into a desperate situation.After Yang Zhengquan learned about it, he was so anxious that he decisively sent 100,000 yuan. Less than a month later, he collected another 300,000 yuan and remitted it to his hometown to support his hometown in fighting the disaster. Since then, Yang Zhengquan's donations have been out of control. In 1999, Yang Zhengquan heard that the conditions in Houjia Primary School in Boyu Town, Huancui District, Weihai were particularly difficult, so he decided to visit.He found Liu Changliang, the principal at the time, and explained his purpose. Principal Liu looked sad, and he sighed and said: "Our school's annual financial allocation is 2 million, and the teachers' salaries are more than 2 million. How can we have money to invest in teaching equipment and improve teaching conditions? That's it. , The salaries of the teachers are often not paid! I am also very anxious to see the children's learning conditions are so difficult!" Yang Zhengquan found that Principal Liu, who was in his early 40s, had prematurely grown gray hair due to worry. "Don't worry, let's think of a way." While speaking, Yang Zhengquan decided to visit the school building. Walking into a classroom, the children were taking a computer class. More than 10 children were surrounded by an old-fashioned computer, and a few short students were squeezed behind and stood on tiptoe. Outside the school gate, under the hillside, two children were staggeringly carrying water. "Our school is built on a hillside, and drinking water has become a big problem. These children take turns to fetch water from the hillside every day." After walking around for a while, Yang Zhengquan immediately decided to buy 20 computers for the school and pay for a machine pumping well. Soon after, the computer was sent to the school as scheduled, and the children cheered. The sweet water well was dug. On the day of the "ribbon-cutting" of the pump well, Principal Liu held Yang Zhengquan's hand tightly and said: "Drinking water will never forget the well digger, and the children will never forget you. From now on, you will be Our honorary principal." That day, the leaders of the town also came to the school.The town leaders insisted on keeping Yang Zhengquan for dinner, but Yang Zhengquan quietly left. On the way back, Yang Zhengquan, who had never sung for many years, hummed "Who Doesn't Say My Hometown Is Good", and he was enjoying the joy brought to him by dedication. Yang Zhengquan is deeply in love with his hometown, and also loves Weihai, his second hometown.Now, Yang Zhengquan is the honorary principal of three schools. Whenever the "Six Day" Children's Day comes, the children rush to invite Yang Zhengquan to celebrate the festival with them. Yang Zhengquan not only loves children, but also cares about the elderly in the orphanage. He is also a frequent visitor to the orphanage. On normal days, Yang Zhengquan never forgets to send food and entertainment items to the old people.When the New Year came, Yang Zhengquan brought fine fabrics worth 10,000 yuan, and also brought a skilled tailor.The old people in new clothes were overjoyed to see Yang Zhengquan. On November 2, 2005, Henan Village, Yangting Town, Huancui District, Weihai City was full of gongs and drums, and banners were pulled everywhere. "The day is over, can you not be excited? It turned out that Yang Zhengquan invested 180,000 yuan and donated 10 tons of cement to repair the village road.In order to express their gratitude, the villagers of Henan Village gave Yang Zhengquan a poem and erected an inscription on it: "Ten tons of cement, selflessly presented as a gift. Recommending a good man is brother Zhengquan. Donate 180,000 yuan, Henan Qi praises... ..." At the same time, Yang Zhengquan also donated 145,000 yuan to install running water for Dongjian Village, Qiaotou Town, repair the weir for Panchuankuang Village, and transform the appearance of the village... In 2007, Yang Zhengquan set up the "Yang Zhengquan Charity Foundation Association" with all available funds of 100,000 yuan, becoming the first person in Weihai to open such a personal account... Gifts of roses, hand a fragrance.Over the years, Yang Zhengquan has regarded helping others as the most important and happiest thing.He always took every opportunity to find people in need. He met Tian Xiuying when he went to the province for a meeting in 2008. Tian Xiuying is a villager in Fenghang Village, Anlinzhan Town, Feicheng City, Shandong Province.Moral Model of Shandong Province, winner of National Moral Model Nomination Award. In an accidental fire, Tian Xiuying's 3-year-old son was seriously injured by the fire. His face was distorted and deformed, his hands were severely disabled, and he completely lost the ability to take care of himself.Tian Xiuying wrapped her son's limbs with strong elastic bands, and let him practice walking; tied a pen to her son's hands, and taught him to write stroke by stroke.Thanks to Tian Xiuying's efforts, her son can take care of himself completely. Not only can he go to school like a normal child, but he also has excellent grades. In 2009, he was admitted as a master's student by the School of Education of Beijing Normal University.Tian Xiuying also opened a "Cai Mama" hotline at home, eager to provide selfless assistance to those who have encountered setbacks in life and lost their confidence in life.He took the burnt children home several times, contacted the hospital for consultation, plastic surgery, and psychological treatment for them, so that they could regain their confidence and return to school. Yang Zhengquan admired Tian Xiuying's deeds very much. After the meeting, he asked Tian Xiuying if she had any difficulties in life. Tian Xiuying said: "Life is passable now, but my son's medical treatment and school expenses are very expensive, and the house at home is too dilapidated and there is no money to repair it. I just got a girlfriend and brought it home." Yang Zhengquan said: "How much does it cost to buy a house?" "80,000 is enough." Tian Xiuying said. "Okay, you give me an account, and I will remit 80,000 to you when you go back." A few days later, Tian Xiuying, who returned to her hometown, received 80,000 yuan. When he put the thick money in front of her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law was stunned for a long time, and asked her daughter-in-law if she made a mistake. .Are there such good people in the world?Everyone couldn't believe it was real. Soon, Tian Xiuying called and told Yang Zhengquan that the house was bought and her son had found a girlfriend.The mother-in-law said that the whole family should come to thank the benefactor in person and make a statue of him. Yang Zhengquan declined.Said to Tian Xiuying: "Don't say thank you anymore, I am very happy to be able to help you. You have a good life, which is the best reward for me." This is how Yang Zhengquan looks for various opportunities to help people in need. He does this all the year round and never tires of it. According to statistics, he has supported more than 800 extremely poor students across the country, subsidized more than 100 orphans, widows, and extremely poor households, assisted 3 schools and 2 nursing homes throughout the year, and sponsored 11 impoverished villages to build roads, build Bridge, school building renovation; after the Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008, Yang Zhengquan used the working capital of the normal operation of the business to collect 180,000 yuan to donate. Bursaries are provided annually. As long as there are charitable activities, there will always be Yang Zhengquan, and people call him a "professional donation account".Regarding this name, Yang Zhengquan said, some people say it is a joking name, some people say it is a good name... Whether it is a good name or a joking name, life is like a play. I hope that in my lifetime, I can sing my life drama well without fake singing or fake acting. Always uphold morality and trustworthiness, and be honest. Yang Zhengquan felt that blindly donating money to people in need can only solve temporary difficulties. To get them out of poverty for a long time, they must have the ability to make money. Yang Zhengquan said that he has not done any great things in his career in these years, and he is gratified that he has bought seven or eight retail houses. Yang Zhengquan didn't do anything else with these storerooms, they were only used for renting out.The identity of the lessee must be laid-off or difficult workers, and they must hire laid-off and unemployed people.If these two conditions are met, the rent will be very low. Yang Zhengquan wants to use this method to help those laid-off and unemployed people. Ordinarily, if the house is rented out and the rent is paid in hand, the landlord doesn't have to worry about anything else.But Yang Zhengquan is different. In order for the entrepreneur to open the store as soon as possible, he is too busy. It has become his job to help the tenants handle business licenses, industrial and commercial, taxation, epidemic prevention and other procedures. That year, his son graduated from university and had not yet found a job. He had the idea of ​​starting his own business and wanted his father to take back the rented shop, but Yang Zhengquan firmly refused.He believes that his son majored in business management. He has not yet found a job after graduating from university, but it is easier to find than laid-off workers. If the store is taken back, at least 20 laid-off workers will become unemployed again. Shop, how can you take it back casually!In the end, the balance did not tilt in favor of the son. When Yang Zhengquan gave others a chance to fish, he always presupposed that he was at a disadvantage. In 2007, Lao Du, a dealer in Shijiazhuang, called. His tone was anxious and dissatisfied: "Mr. Yang, do you still remember the shredded squid I bought from you? Why did it deteriorate in such a short time? , the warranty period has not yet expired! Do you think you have to compensate for the loss?" Yang Zhengquan put down the phone and left for Shijiazhuang. When he came to Lao Du's store and took a look, Yang Zhengquan immediately understood that the new dealer put the products that should have been refrigerated in the normal temperature warehouse, so the quality changed, which was a loss caused by improper storage. Yang Zhengquan returned the goods to him calmly, and then said: "The spoilage is because your goods are not refrigerated. I know that you have just opened your business and your funds are tight. I will admit the loss to you." Then, Yang Zhengquan patiently explained to him the identification, storage methods and business strategies of dried seafood. Before leaving, Lao Du held Yang Zhengquan's hand tightly and said, "Mr. Yang, you are at a loss. How embarrassing does this make me!" "Old Du, this payment is still a trivial matter. The purpose of my special visit this time is to help you open the store smoothly. If your sales are good, I will not lose money. Work hard and let me know if you have any questions. " One day, a white-haired old woman sat down in front of Yang Zhengquan's buying and selling department on Tongtong Road, looked in and said, "Is this the shop of the good man Yang Zhengquan?" Wang Shumei hurried out. The old woman straightened her messy hair and said, "I begged at your door. Who are you?" Wang Shumei said: "I am Yang Zhengquan's wife." The old woman took a good look at Wang Shumei: "Big sister, you have a square face, and you are a good person at first glance." Seeing that the old man was pitiful, Wang Shumei gave her 50 yuan. At noon, Wang Shumei bought an extra lunch box for the old woman. The old woman took a look: "Big sister, everyone says your family is rich, but you don't eat very well." Wang Shumei smiled, and went into the house with the boxed lunch. From then on, the old woman came on time every day at this time. Every time Wang Shumei arrives, she will be served hot food with an extra 50 yuan. After 5 days like this, the old woman said, "Big sister, I'm leaving now. Calculate the money you gave me is 250 yuan. Isn't it 250 yuan for me? Are you scolding me on purpose?" When Wang Shumei heard this, she became angry. If she was a character like the second lady in the Water Margin back then, how could she be so angry, but now she is the wife of a celebrity, so she must be civilized. Wang Shumei said calmly: "Sister, I think you are still in good health. You kneel and kowtow every day to beg for food. We don't owe anyone. Why are our kowtows so worthless? Go open a How about the waste collection point?" The old woman said, "I have no capital." Wang Shumei said, "I know you haven't." As he spoke, he took out an envelope: "Take the 3,000 yuan first, and let's talk about it if it's not enough." The old woman was stunned for a moment. A few years later, the old woman came again, thanking her a thousand times, saying that she would no longer kowtow to others, and a waste collection point had also been set up. Einstein said that a person can become a real master only when he devotes all his strength and energy to a certain cause.The cause that Yang Zhengquan devoted all his strength and energy to is not his buying and selling company, but his charitable cause.His ultimate goal is not to create wealth, but to help those in need, to contribute to society, and to repay every kindness.Yang Zhengquan said that this is still the meaning in his title of "great sincerity and great faith". Over the past 20 years, Yang Zhengquan has paid more than 6 million yuan in state taxes, and his donations have also exceeded 6 million yuan. The two six million yuan may be a drop in the bucket for large and medium-sized enterprises, but it is also an astronomical figure for Yang Zhengquan, who runs a small business. Anyway, in some people's eyes, Yang Zhengquan is considered a rich man.But this rich man is very "stingy" with himself and lives quite frugally. Yang Zhengquan's frugality is due to his mother's precepts and deeds. I remember that one year Yang Zhengquan took his wife and children back to his hometown for the New Year. He found that there were only some small fish prepared at home, so he went to the market to buy some big fish and brought back a catty of tea. The mother was very upset when she saw it. She said: "Isn't the little fish a fish? It's good to eat fish. How many seeds can you buy with the tea money? Take it and return it!" Yang Zhengquan had no choice but to obey his mother. Since then, his life has become more frugal. Yang Zhengquan never keeps accounts of the money donated or borrowed, and the couple never inquires carefully, but the family spends money carefully, saving and saving. Everyone who sells vegetables in the vegetable market near his home knows him and greets him when they see him from afar. Everyone knows Yang Zhengquan's "caressing" in the vegetable market. They don't understand why Yang Zhengquan is so rich. Every corner must be contested", he always buys the cheapest food, and he also wants to kill the lowest price.Therefore, those who have dealt with him in the market say that he is "old picky". Not only that, the clothes of Yang Zhengquan and his wife are also very simple.The clothes are all the same as they were more than ten years ago, and they are bought from street stalls for more than ten yuan. As long as they are not broken, they seldom buy new ones.This year, my wife finally put on a beautiful red sweater. It is said that it was bought by the daughter-in-law who just passed the door. Yang Zhengquan has a pair of "antique" leather shoes that have been worn for many years. One day, a clerk asked him curiously: "Mr. Yang, why is there an extra piece on your leather shoe?" "Oh, that's when I got a cobbler to patch it up." In the next few years, whenever Yang Zhengquan's leather shoes were broken, he would go to patch them up. After each patch, he could wear them for at least half a year.Finally, when Yang Zhengquan found the shoe repairer again, the shoe repair master quit. He said: "I have repaired shoes for more than 30 years. Most people come to repair the soles, and few come to mend the uppers. Your shoes The upper patch is too thick, there is nowhere to start, and there is no way to sew it. This shoe really can’t be repaired.” Helpless, Yang Zhengquan just bought a new pair of shoes. It sounds unbelievable that a "rich man" with tens of millions of assets wears out a pair of shoes until they can't be repaired, but this is Yang Zhengquan.Doesn't the choice between a pair of old shoes and two "six million" reflect a noble humanity? Wang Shumei said, our family has very simple meals, and even the beggars are embarrassed to come. In the winter of 2001, an old lady from out of town came to the store to beg for food. Seeing that his family had opened a store, she thought that she might be quite rich, and the food must be good. It turned out that they ate steamed stuffed buns and porridge every day, and sometimes they ate a box lunch. that's it.After more than ten days, the beggar suddenly stopped coming. One day, Yang Zhengquan met her, and she said, "Do you know why I didn't go? I didn't expect that the food at your house is really bad, and it's not as good as ordinary people's. I'm too embarrassed to go." The son who was in college came back to visit the house. Yang Zhengquan and his wife felt that it was so easy for their son to come back, so they went to the market to buy 2 crabs. During the meal, the sensible son peeled off the crab and handed it to his mother. The mother waved her hand and said, "We often eat it at home, you should eat it all." 儿子打趣地说：“怎么可能呢？谁不了解你们啊！” 后来，杨正权叹了口气对我说：“我们两口子确实不舍得吃，当时为了省钱，就只给孩子买了2只，还没舍得给孩子买个活的。” 杨正权说：“我们就是这样，再有钱，也不舍得乱花，挣点钱不容易，我要把钱花在刀刃上，把钱用在真正需要它的地方。” 杨正权夫妻的行为是最好的教材，他们的心血也没有白费，儿子从小就知道节俭，从不乱花一分钱，直到上大学，自己的开销都一笔一笔记得清清楚楚。最让两口子欣慰的是，儿子从上大一开始，就知道从自己有限的生活费里省出一部分，资助生活困难的同学。 由于杨正权的“好人”事迹越来越多，越传越远，2002年，他被评为威海市“尚德守信，奉献社会的好市民”，而且他在威海市迄今仍是这个称号的唯一获得者。 在“庆威”新店的一角摆满了奖杯和奖状，有“全国道德模范”、“全国优秀退伍军人”、“全国学习雷锋、志愿服务先进个人、”“全国文明诚信个体工商户”、省市级荣誉更是数不胜数。柜台的上方悬挂着杨正权领奖时，与党和国家领导人合影的大幅照片，杨正权说，挂这些照片是对自己的鞭策和激励。 杨正权说，我的奉献是那么微不足道，党和人民却给了我这么巨大的荣誉，这对我来说就是一种无形的压力，很多人都在看着，如果事情做不好，就会给党和领导抹黑。 按理说，“老抠”这个词是个贬义词，而杨正权却并不反感，因为通过“老抠”换来了“捐款专业户”这个称号，杨正权觉得值。 “抠门”的好人杨正权，不断地做着他的大方事，而且希望能够一直不间断地做下去。 杨正权做好事和别人不一样，有的人捐完钱就万事大吉，他说好事要做就做到底。很多情况下，他按照自己的标准要把一件好事“做好”，往往需要经过几年甚至是十几年的时间。 杨正权一家曾经长达二十年从不间断地资助一个女孩。 这个女孩叫徐慧，她的父母有四个孩子，其中三个女孩，一个男孩。在她上小学的时候，因为父母身体不好，没有收入，家里的房子也破旧不堪，生活非常困难，够了年龄还迟迟不能去上学。杨正权知道后，就每年给她学费，供她上学，直到她师范毕业参加工作当了老师，杨正权悬着的心才稍稍放下了。 谁知2年后，徐慧打来了电话：“杨叔，我想继续读书深造，你看……” “好事啊，年轻人就是应该有这份上进心，钱上如果有困难我帮忙！” “我考上研究生了，可是学费太贵了，4万元，拿不起。” 杨正权马上给徐慧汇去了学费。 期间，徐慧打来电话：“杨叔，别人都有电脑，可是我没有，学习不方便。” 杨正权又买了电脑寄去。 研究生毕业后，徐慧和男朋友去了美国深造。后来，他们夫妻二人回国后说要去探望杨正权，结果杨正权又为他们寄去了路费…… 有人看不过说：“老杨，你也太好说话了，只要张口你就给，管她二十多年了，结了婚还要管啊，没完了是吧？” 杨正权笑了笑说：“人家孩子困难的时候，首先想到的是我，她是信任我，把我当最亲的人啊！我能不管吗？我相信，她总会为国家做出更大贡献的。” 还有这样一家三口，曾被杨正权帮助了十几年。 2003年，杨正权看到媒体报道，环翠区张村镇的郭秀珍一家生活非常困难。丈夫因癌症去世，留下一个患了脑瘫的女儿和正在上学的儿子，生活的重担压在了郭秀珍一个人身上。郭秀珍起早贪黑靠蒸包子、蒸馒头卖维持生活。 杨正权见到郭秀珍时，一阵心酸，常年的劳累，已经让这个40来岁的女人过早地衰老了，他看上去像个老太太，弓着腰，头发花白，满脸愁容，沟壑丛生。床上还躺着一个大小便都不能自理的女儿。 这些年她都是怎么过的啊！杨正权默默地塞到她手心里一个纸包。郭秀珍慢慢地打开，是2万元钱！她攥着这个纸包激动地哭了起来，这些年从来都没有人认真地关心过她的生活，一时间，百种滋味涌上心头，她越哭越泣不成声了。 杨正权说：“别难过，以后有什么问题我们一起解决。你是这个家的顶梁柱，孩子们还指着你呢，你可要好好保重啊！” 以后，杨正权经常来看望他们，每年都不忘给她送来1～2万元，让她购买和面机，整修房子，还扶持她开了个小商店。杨正权一直帮到她的儿子大学毕业才舒了口气。 儿子大学毕业后，问题又来了，工作找不到，孩子又来找杨正权。 杨正权找到建设集团，希望给学建筑设计专业的孩子谋个职位，可人事部经理直摇头：“我们现在不需要人，金融危机，我们现在企业不景气，本来就超员了，还想减员呢！” 杨正权找到老总，很诚恳地对他说：“我和这个孩子非亲非故，他家里非常困难，姐姐脑瘫不能自理，母亲身体也不好，这孩子很懂事，他会感恩的，我给他作担保，如果他干得不好，你就来找我。” 总经理被眼前的这位颇具知名度的“好人”打动了，立刻把人事部经理叫来，对他说：“杨正权有爱心，我们怎么能没有？” 小伙子很快就上班了。他果然表现很好，很敬业也很能吃苦，后来干上了项目经理，成了公司的业务骨干。 俗话说，面由心生。我每次见到杨正权的时候，总是看到他在笑，他的笑容荡漾在他的每个表情中，他在叙述的时候，他的眼神中好像都含着笑意。虽然因为疾病，他的脸变得很瘦削，我还是愿意和别人一样用这个词形容他：慈眉善目。 看到他神采奕奕、总是笑眯眯的样子，谁会想到他曾经是个胃癌患者呢？ 杨正权从小就落下了严重的胃病。成年以后，胃病时时侵扰，他就仗着自己年轻，不觉得怎样，吃点胃药就能挺过去。 可是，有一天，他终于挺不过去了。 2001年夏天，杨正权的胃病又犯了，他熟练地拿出胃药吃上。可是不管吃什么药，都得不到一点缓解，豆大的汗珠顺着脸颊流下来，剧烈持续的胃疼让他几乎休克。杨正权不愿让妻子担心，瞒着她自己踉踉跄跄到了医院。 化验结果出来了，医生看了看，眉头拧成了大疙瘩：“你就是杨正权啊，早就听说过你！你得的是比较严重的胃溃疡，必须立即做手术，病历不能给本人，让家属尽快来医院拿吧！” 威海是座沿海旅游城市，夏天游客多，正是店里最忙的季节，妻子脱不开身，儿子在外地读书，亲戚们都在老家，谁也来不了。 “家里没人来，我先拿回去吧！” “不行，让家属来，是为了引起重视，你的胃病不能再拖了，要尽快做手术，要是延误了手术时机，后悔都来不及。如果没人来，就先放在这。”医生很坚决地说。 杨正权独自在走廊里踱步，步子越来越慢。他反复思忖，该不是胃癌吧！这个“癌”字一出现，杨正权立即打了个冷战，不，一定不是！我怎么会是胃癌呢？我才这么年轻，儿子还没成年，还有那么多需要我常年资助的人，我绝对不能得这种病。可是，胃溃疡为什么不让看病历呢？ 肯定不是什么好病！想到这儿，杨正权一屁股呆坐在椅子上，眼泪奔涌而出。 杨正权住院了，要做手术。这个消息不胫而走，人们纷纷赶来看望，让医生护士们感到震惊的是，来看杨正权的人多到上千人，这些人中除了领导、朋友，大部分是杨正权曾经帮助过的人，有的人根本不知道恩人姓名，是看了电视采访才被认出的，所以见到他很激动，又是哭，又是笑，拉着手怎么也说不完，病房里一时人声鼎沸。为了维持病房的安静，医院不得不限制探病时间。人们送来的花篮、营养品摆满了病房，后来病房放不下了，干脆往走廊上摆。医生和护士们从来都没有见过这样的场面，其中许多人在猜测，这个特殊的病人到底是个什么人物，他的级别到底有多高呢？ 杨正权对妻子王书梅说：“你一定要记好来看我的人的名字，等我出院了，好去谢谢人家。” 手术结束了，杨正权的胃被切掉了三分之二。 这一天，门开了，一个三十多岁的女人走进来，原来是区个私协会办公室主任程秀玲。 杨正权想礼貌地坐起来，可是刀口巨大的疼痛让他一动也不能动，他歉意地说：“我刚做完手术，起不来，对不起了啊！”杨正权脸色蜡黄，声音微弱得让人几乎听不到。 病房里顿时鸦雀无声，程秀玲的心里酸酸的：“不用不用，都什么时候了还客气。” “快过年了，一年一度的资助特困户活动快开始了吧？今年我还得带头捐，就捐一万吧！”杨正权虚弱得似乎连说话的力气也没有，嘴角却带着一丝微笑。 程秀玲终于忍不住哭出声来：“老杨，我是专门来看你的，不是来让你捐款的。今年的捐款你这个病号就别参加了，你的病也需要花大钱呢！” “我是个党员，要带这个头，病号捐款才更有示范意义嘛！” 杨正权看她还没同意，于是从被子里颤颤巍巍地伸出还插着针头的手，紧紧握着她：“就算你帮我这个忙，每年都捐，今年怎么就不捐了呢？做好事要做到底啊！捐了这个款就了了我的一桩心事，要不然就成了我的心病了。”说完，杨正权累得直喘粗气，痛苦地闭上了眼睛。 “好吧。”程秀玲看拗不过他，只好依他了。 在场的护士当场就落泪了，杨正权得的是癌症，他是个挣扎在生死边缘的，下了病危，写了遗嘱的人啊！如今他还正在忍受着术后刀口巨大的疼痛，这样生死攸关的时候还在想着捐款，这是怎样的一个病号啊！ 手术后，医生通知他去化疗。 杨正权趁着医生不在，跑去看化疗记录，里面有这样的医嘱：胃癌，胃大部切除，化疗。当杨正权看到病例的一刹那，却出乎意料地平静，因为这些日子，他已经猜得八九不离十，当时拍片子显示胃所谓的“溃疡”只有米粒那么大，怎么会切除三分之二呢！再说单纯的胃溃疡是不需要大面积手术更不需要化疗的。 从医生办公室出来，杨正权的心里反而很平静，因为他早就有思想准备，他想，面对现实吧，如果我死了，倒也问心无愧，可是很多事就不能办了，我还要再挣很多很多钱，还有那么多的人在等着我帮助呢！我一定要配合医生好好治疗，一切都会好起来的。 出了院，杨正权应该在家休养半年，可是他术后第五天就忙着张罗筹备慈善活动。 因为没有得到很好的调养，杨正权得了手术后的肠粘连，再次住进了医院做手术。 历经两次手术，原本160多斤的汉子瘦成了110多斤。杨正权却很乐观，他说：“和我一起做手术的人大部分都不在了，有的手术后只活了一年，能活到三年的都寥寥无几。真是托了大家的福，大家都叫我'好人杨正权'，我就真成了好人了，成了健康的人了。” 一次，一个多年不见的亲戚从外地回来见到王书梅，不无惋惜地说：“你老头动手术多少年了？听说是癌症，现在……”言外之意是想问杨正权的病情现在怎样了。 “我老头好着呢，2008年还去参加了奥运火炬传递呢！” 如今，杨正权距离做手术已经近10年了，他的身体像他的事业一样越来越有活力。 有人向他取经，他说：“要把金钱和名利看淡，不要着急上火，每天保持快乐的心情，疾病就会远离你。宽容地面对一切，生活将给你更多。” 其实，杨正权夫妻俩身体都不好，妻子王书梅也因为积劳成疾，患上了肩周炎等多种疾病。有时候阴天下雨手都抬不起来。有人实在看不过，就对他说，你和老伴都快60岁的人了，身体又不好，挣的钱够花就行了，还拼什么命？不如退休享点清福算了！ 杨正权却认为，我虽然动过手术，可现在不是好好的吗？社会上有那么多需要帮助的人，我不能袖手旁观。我要努力工作，用我的双手创造更多的财富好帮助需要我帮助的人。为社会、人类的真正和谐做出自己的微薄贡献，这是我最大的心愿和快乐。 有些话别人说了，可能会给人唱高调、矫揉造作的感觉，或者像豪言壮语，而出自杨正权之口，却变得那么顺理成章，自然流露，令人叹服。 “死里逃生”后的杨正权，更加珍爱生命。他要用有限的生命做好永无止境的慈善事业。他深知：生命的意义在于给予，而不是索取。正因为拥有了这么坚定的信念，杨正权才有了为之奋斗的力量和决不动摇的勇气。 杨正权把诚信经营比作小诚小信，而他的慈善事业则就是大诚大信。 如果说，无私奉献是最高贵的品质，而把奉献当做一种责任，不为了回报的奉献，更是值得钦佩，就像埋在地下的树根使树枝产生果实，却从不要求什么回报一样。 杨正权就是甘做树根的人。他捐款给生活困难的人，有的受捐人执意要打借条，说日后生活宽裕了一定要归还。杨正权借条拿到手就马上撕毁，他说，捐款是为了帮助别人，而不是借钱给别人，钱捐出去从没想到要让别人还或者回报，所以借条留着一点用也没有。 杨正权有一次到大学里讲课，有学生问他：“你现在有钱了，都奉献给了社会，可是明天你穷了怎么办，没想过给自己留点后路吗？” 杨正权说：“商场如战场，创业容易守业难，今天的富翁，很有可能明天变成穷光蛋，这样的例子也不少。我也怕受穷，不过我有数，一方面我有固定资产，另一方面因为诚信经营，我的企业已经进入了良性循环，破产的可能性不大。因为我从小是过穷日子长大的，所以知道受穷是什么滋味，所以我要尽力帮助别人脱离贫穷。” 说起捐款，杨正权对大学生们说，捐款也不能盲目地捐，必须具备四个条件：第一，要树立正确的财富观，物质上富有的人，精神上不一定富有，对待贫富要有一颗平常心。第二，要有能够创造财富的能力。要在保证自己生活的前提下，不能有外债。第三，必须是合法所得，经营不能偷税漏税。第四，捐款要不图回报，不能作秀，要解决实际问题。 杨正权的一席话，引来了台下雷鸣般的掌声。 杨正权觉得少数人的力量还是有限的，一人帮千人很难，可是千人帮一人就很容易了，社会上有很多有钱人，要是大家都有强烈的做慈善事业的意识就好了。 王书梅说：“最近看到别人中奖，为什么我们就不能中奖呢？”听了这话我吓了一跳，她接着说：“我要是中了500万，就把它全捐了，帮助有困难的人。”话音刚落我们都笑了。 当我问起杨正权今后的打算时，他信心满怀地说，下一步我决定投资建厂，整合资源，扩大企业的规模，使企业步入快车道。现在我每年捐一百万，以后企业发展了，我还要捐一千万，这就是我的目标。 有人说，杨正权是个拥有上千万资产的富翁，事业成功的企业家；有人说他是“捐款专业户”，乐善好施的慈善家；还有人说他是个甘于吃亏，永不变色的共产党员…… 杨正权说，我愿意做个好人，而且要做一辈子的好人。共产党员首先就该是个好人。 是的，杨正权是个名副其实的好人。 在威海，如果提起“好人”，当地人就会用浓浓的胶东话说：好人呐！是说杨正权吧！ 这些年，“杨正权”已经成了“好人”的代名词。 遗憾的是，如今“好人”在有些人眼里似乎已经成为一个并不时髦的词汇。当今社会，恰恰缺乏的不就是像杨正权这样的好人吗？我们期待着这样的好人越来越多。 这可是我们这个社会的希望，更是社会得和谐之根本！
