Yan Shijian: The rebound to the bottom

To measure a person's success is not to see the height of his summit, but to see his rebound to the bottom. - General Patton - Wang Shi's comment on Yan Shijian

Qi Shijian was the former chairman of Hongta Group and was once the famous “Chinese tobacco king”. On January 9, 1999, Qi Shijian was sentenced to life imprisonment for corruption and later commuted to 17 years in prison. The only daughter committed suicide in prison that year. In 2002, after 74-year-old Yan Shijian went to the hospital for medical treatment, Dongshan revived and began to grow orange with his wife contracting the barren hills. In the season of harvesting oranges, the estimated output is 10,000 tons in 2019, and the wholesale price is 10-14 yuan/kg. The estimated income is over 100 million yuan, and the estimated profit is tens of millions.

In 1928, Qi Shijian was born into a peasant family. In 1955, at the age of 27, he served as the Personnel Section Chief of the Yuxi District Administration.

In October 1979, he served as the director of the Yuxi Cigarette Factory. In the past ten years, Qi Shijian has made Hongtashan a famous brand in China. The enterprises he led have accumulated hundreds of billions of profits and taxes for the country. He has strengthened his resource advantage with a strategic vision. The opportunity to live in the tobacco industry has made Yuxi Cigarette Factory stand out and become the Chinese tobacco king. “Hongtashan” has created a number of millionaires and how many people have solved the problem of eating.

In 1994, Qi Shijian was rated as the "Top Ten Reform Man of the Country" and reached the peak of his life. However, in the era when the general wage was only a few hundred yuan, the wages of an ordinary employee of their factory were at least four or five thousand. At the time, due to institutional reasons, his great contribution to the company was not reflected in personal income. In the past 18 years, his total income was less than one million. The huge gap in personal income made him a serious psychological imbalance, and the country lacked effective The supervision mechanism, his brilliant life path deviated from the course, because of corruption of 1.74 million US dollars, in 1999, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, at this time, he is already 71-year-old.

During this time, his daughter committed suicide in prison, and he was trapped in jail. This is not the most miserable glimpse of his life in a 70-year-old man. Many people are sorry for him, and he is also considered to have finished his life. However, unexpectedly, the old man did not get rid of it. He was first commuted to prison, and he was sentenced to 17 years in prison. He stayed in prison for one year. After two years of labor reform, he was admitted to hospital for serious diabetes in 2002. With the wife contracted the barren hills began to grow orange.

The old man said: "When I was in prison, I thought that I was over 70 years old. Can I live alive later? What life will I rely on after I go out? Later, my brother came to see me and brought him the oranges I planted. A bite, I thought, the taste is OK, if I can go out, I will plant oranges. Later, I got sick, my physical condition is very bad, and I will die if I don’t go out to see a doctor. When I come out, I want to find something to do. Time spent. When I handled my case, they gave me 1.2 million yuan. I heard that I have to plant oranges, and several rich friends each lend me millions, adding up to a total of 10 million, they said It’s just for you to play, it’s okay to play without it, we don’t need it anyway.”

In 2002, I planted orange, and I was 75 years old. In these years, in his 80s, he landed 8-10 days a month, and his management of the orchard was very meticulous and strictly managed. From Yuxi to the orchard, more than 200 kilometers, all mountain roads, driving for at least three hours. Qi Shijian called to inform the next day at 8 o'clock to meet in the orchard, and the next day was absolutely on time, so no subordinate dared to be late.

The old people rely on the support of the previous network resources and the radiation of influence. For example, some of the major tobacco companies in Yunnan have booked most of them as employee benefits and their own management methods when they have not yet come out. The estimated output in 2019 is 1 Ten thousand tons, the wholesale price is 10-14 yuan / kg, the estimated income is more than 100 million yuan, the estimated profit is tens of millions of yuan.

Of course, the elderly also realize that the channel of personal connections is not a long-term problem. In 2019, it has already started selling in e-commerce channels.

Now the old man is 86 years old. For the elderly, he fell in the glory of the past, but once again he created a myth after the fall, which is enough. Everyone has failed, is it a stagnation or stand up again, and this most controversial figure, gave him an answer.

Wang Shi, chairman of Vanke, said earlier that “the orange fruit will last for six years. He was already 75 years old. You imagine that an old man of nearly 75 years old, wearing a big sunglasses and wearing a round neck shirt, is full of enthusiasm. I talked to me about the orange fruit. Although he was in a bad situation, he was an entrepreneur’s chest. I thought at the time, if I met his frustration and reached his age, what would I think? I know, I will not be as brave as he is."

Sigh again: There is always ups and downs in life, and the spirit can be passed down. Life is much more exciting than a novel, and it is much more realistic.
