In modern society, many people ask, what kind of man is a good man?If this is placed in ancient times, I think those people who work with "strength" under the "field" should be called good men.But time flies to today, a good man should not only be able to work under the "field", but also under the "sky", and he must do a beautiful job and a magnificent and beautiful career. The man I know is such a man. With his wisdom, hard work, blood, sweat and effort, he has written a tortuous and shining poem of wealth for a man in China.He is - Ouyang Xiangshan.

I met Ouyang Xiangshan by chance in 2004. The first time I saw him, he was 1.78 meters tall, full of heroism, full of smiles, very friendly, generous, polite, and a very decent person. "Have you ever been a soldier?" "I did. First in the field army, then in the armed police." That's how we got to know each other.The first handshake was very familiar.I found that there is a kind of magnetic field on his body, which is gentle, light and stable, and has an indelible luster. When we shook hands again, we were already very close.Because our experiences are very similar: we have been soldiers, and we were all in the field army first, and then transferred to the armed police force.

"Although the experience is similar, does your brother have an extraordinary background, so he can go smoothly on the road, get the wind and the rain, and dominate the Shang Hai?" I said. Ouyang smiled and waved his hands: "Wrong brother. Don't look at me now, but I was born as a poor farmer. I had no money to study since I was a child. I have been a beggar, begged for food, and suffered a lot. I even thought about dying many times, when I was only seven or eight years old, wandering around with my blind sister and brother-in-law..." Ouyang's words made my heart prick like a needle.

A tycoon in the business world, he always remembers his sufferings and doesn't hide them.I know that in this society, there are too many glamorous people who try their best to hide their bleak past and create an image of noble life for themselves.But the billionaire in front of him mentioned his own misery in a few words, and his simple and profound speech made people feel emotional. When we shook hands for the third time, I actually saw tears flickering from his eyes.I know that his tears are reminiscent of the tragic years evoked in an instant. However, I still don't seem to believe that this elegant and handsome billionaire is actually a miserable person who was born in a very poor family and was a beggar in his childhood.He didn't go to school for a few days, but he was very smart and talented.During his 17-year military career, when his official career was excellent, he resolutely took off his military uniform and went into business. He started from a small grocery store and set foot in more than 30 industries.Today, his "Beautiful Group" has more than a dozen companies under its jurisdiction. It is a diversified business that focuses on commercial real estate development and high-quality self-retained property leasing, supplemented by equity investment and related supporting industries, and high-tech industries. Large private enterprise group.In Shenzhen, many people know and hear about Ouyang Xiangshan, and they all say he is a legendary figure!

All of these attract me like a magnet. "Your experience is a story, and I want to write it down." When we met for the second time, I went straight to the point and said to Ouyang. Ouyang hesitated for a while and said: "Not too good, the so-called entrepreneurs and businessmen of our generation have similar experiences and bitterness. Besides, I am also afraid of being famous." "What's so scary about being famous? There are so many people asking me to write a book, are you the only one afraid?" I was telling the truth. "I'm afraid you'll take me for a businessman."

Ouyang's words surprised me. "What's wrong with being a businessman? China's rapid development in the past 20 or 30 years is thanks to you wealth creators." Ouyang looked up to the sky with a long sigh, and said: "You may not know that when people have no money, they are not afraid of anything. But when they have money, they are afraid of this and that." "why?" Ouyang shook his head, but didn't answer, and seemed to have a lot of bitterness in his heart. After a while, he slowly said: "Actually, there is no reason, people should be low-key and humble. Although I am considered a rich man now, I always believe that no matter how much property a person has, it ultimately belongs to society, so it is not It's not worth showing off. But I do have some of my own struggle experiences and life insights that I want to tell the world. You see, the employment problem of millions of college graduates in the country alone has become a big problem. Many young students walk out of the campus Difficult to adapt to the fierce competition, unable to find a position, and began to complain. For example, in Shenzhen, at a job fair held in a gymnasium in 2004, there were more than 1,000 fresh graduate positions, but tens of thousands of people from all over the country came College students! Think about it, what a big contrast! Many students who can’t find a job are penniless, some are lying on the side of the road, some are lying in the park, and some even openly beg for travel expenses... See This scene made me feel sad. Therefore, when I went to the university to give a speech, I repeatedly emphasized that college students should go out of society, advocated that schools should engage in quality education, and discussed with students the ability and methods of self-reliance."

"Once again, on the 10th anniversary of my own company, I invited the past leaders and comrades in arms. During the meal, I was invited to briefly tell the comrades in arms about the ten years of struggle that I had walked out of the barracks. I did not expect them I was moved to tears when I heard this, saying that Ouyang, you are not simple, and that your experience after changing jobs is the best life textbook for the millions of transferred soldiers in the army. I simply feel that this is an unexpected statement." "There is another thing. I went back to my hometown in Hubei during the Spring Festival the year before last. When I saw many rural youths who had gone out of their homes for several years, they returned to their hometowns with nothing to gain. They were at a loss and completely lost confidence in their future and ideals. Playing mahjong means arguing with your parents, and you are too lazy to even plant the land. I looked at it and felt a pain in my heart. At that time, I thought a lot. I thought of my past that was more unfortunate than them, and I also thought of my past that was more unfortunate than them. It’s many times better now, but what I think about the most is to tell them how I dealt with life’s misfortune and hard work, and let them understand that since we are born as human beings, we must become useful people. Don't be a superfluous person. Be an operator, don't be a permanent consumer. Because no one can afford to be a permanent consumer, and that must be a loser in life..."

Between words, I saw him flashing tears again. I know that his tears this time are for those who are still struggling to earn a living.Unexpectedly, Ouyang was actually a person full of emotion and philosophy.My heart was filled with a little respect and excitement. "Brother Ouyang, I've decided to write your book!" My tone was firm. "Is it really worth it?" This time it was Ouyang's turn to ask me. "Of course!" I found myself more decisive. "why?" "Because suffering is the best textbook in life. Your experience is an inspirational myth that interprets success!"

"You are bragging for me! How can I be a myth?" Ouyang seemed a little shy like a child. "No, let me say that your legendary experience of Ouyang belongs not only to yourself, but also to this era of China. Because the rise of a nation requires the joint efforts of those who can create historical legends of the entire nation. China has 13 Many people don’t know how to change their own destiny, so they can’t even talk about creating something for the country and the nation. In this sense, your life experience of Ouyang is very important to thousands of Chinese who are looking for employment. A salutary book about life." I said it with the utmost seriousness.

Ouyang smiled slightly after hearing this: "Then you are advertising to thousands of people for me." "Don't you want more people to learn some successful experiences from you? At least a little skill to make a living would be good!" Ouyang fell into thinking and didn't speak again. I think he is caught in a contradiction: he doesn't want to borrow books to flaunt himself, but he is also eager to borrow books to help others.I can't say anything more.Fortunately, however, his refusal of me to write a book for him is no longer as strong as it was at the beginning.

For a period of time after that, we had no contact and were busy with our own business. Suddenly one day he called me from the Capital Airport and told me out of breath: "I'm about to board an international flight to Antarctica..." His voice sounded like that of an innocent and excited child. This man!A middle-aged man can actually have a child-like straightforward temperament and perverse temper. "What are you going to Antarctica for? Can you write your book..." Before I finished my question, the phone was disconnected, leaving only my guesses standing still and my curiosity about his identity.This guy is really not afraid of death. It's incredible to go to the Antarctic to "freeze". Unexpectedly, one night before the Spring Festival this year, I suddenly received a call from him again.On the other end of the phone, he excitedly told me about the Antarctic trip. "The harvest is too great! For the first time, I personally feel how small people are in front of nature. It's like wisdom. Many people say that I am smart and have achieved a career. In fact, I found that I am as small as a little penguin." Can't compare. On the Antarctic beach, tens of thousands of identical little penguins are playing together, and their mothers can quickly identify their children from a little penguin's cry. Only this point, in the eyes of us humans It's unimaginable..." "I want to tell you one more thing, I planted the flag of our 'Beautiful Group' in Antarctica! This is the common pride of all our beautiful employees..." "Many people think that I go there to seek excitement and play, but in fact I want to go there to really purify my soul..." "The vast world of Antarctica tells me that no matter how big a person does, it is the most important and most valuable to enter a certain realm. Only at this time, our understanding of wealth and the pursuit of life will be better. Profound and open-minded…” "While we recognize our own strength and strength, we should also recognize our own ordinaryness and insignificance, and recognize every little bit of small and precious gratitude..." He talked eloquently, and once again expressed his truest feelings like a child.I was both touched and excited to hear such heartfelt words from a tycoon who seemed only to make money. I finally couldn't hold back and asked him: "With so many emotions, is your book still written or not?" He suddenly pondered again, but still didn't give me an answer. It wasn't until I went to see him in person again and asked him directly that he finally let go. "Then—write." I can't help but hold his hand tightly.I smiled at him firmly, knowing that he was a bit of a child in this regard and needed encouragement. "However," he said again, "it's okay to write, but it must truly reflect a person like me who has come through twists and turns from ordinary life. I just want to tell you some attitudes and methods in the face of suffering, difficulties, and setbacks. I hope it It’s beneficial, and it’s good to have a little use.” "do not worry." "That's good. The Chinese say 'one cannot forget the origin'. If it is written into a book this time, it can be regarded as a little bit of memory that I have left for myself in the form of words over the years." To be honest, when Ouyang finally said this to me, I was moved.I am very aware of his current level and status, and I have also investigated and heard about his past. His experience is enough to write a wonderful legend about the fortune of a contemporary Chinese man.I don't think it's an exaggeration to describe those trials and hardships as epic. From getting to know him to when I wanted to write his book, there were many twists and turns.People asked me to write a book, but I wasn't interested in it; Ouyang pushed me back and forth, but I insisted on writing it.These back and forth can really be regarded as "three visits for books". However, it is not surprising to think about it.Such a child from a poor rural area, with family responsibilities, social missions, and life aspirations, struggled with difficulty and soul-stirring, and truly wrote a magnificent poem of wealth for a Chinese man.So, for any writer, how can he not inspire a strong impulse to write?
