Rebirth: Starting from selling water to become the world’s richest man

Li Shanshan’s past and present life

“Li Shanshan, wake up quickly, what time is it and why are you still sleeping!”

In a daze, Li Shanshan was woken up by a roar.

But he didn’t pay attention, but stretched out on the bed, changed his position and continued to sleep.

“Mom is so annoying. She’s disturbing my sleep again.”

“Hey, mom called me?”

Li Xianxuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment with a daze.

The yellowed walls are covered with posters of World Cup football stars.

I have been fond of football since I was a child, and collecting posters of football stars has always been my biggest hobby.

His eyes turned to the old furniture in the bedroom, and the memory returned to his student days.

Back then, every time I stayed in bed, I would be woken up by my mother’s roar, which was simply inhumane.

At this moment, his mother Zhang Jing opened the bedroom door and walked in, lifting the quilt off his body.

“Hey, Mom, you…you…!!!”

Li Xianxuan rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he saw in front of him.

Before his rebirth, Li Shanshan left home to go to college in the provincial capital after graduating from high school. After graduating from college, he went to the imperial capital to work hard.

I spent more than ten years of my youth dedicated to a company, but unfortunately I was ruthlessly fired by the company when I was approaching middle age.

Is it pitiful?

Li Shanshan himself does not think that the workplace is like a battlefield, where there are winners and losers.

As long as you are not the boss of the company, your destiny will always be in the hands of others.

The night after he was fired, Li Shanshan came to a tavern to soothe his sorrows and get drunk.

But unexpectedly, he suddenly lost consciousness just after taking a few sips of wine.

“Twinkle, are you okay?”

Zhang Jing said with concern: “I told you not to stay up late, are you having a nightmare?”

Seeing that his son didn’t speak, he just giggled.

Zhang Jing frowned and reached out to touch his son’s forehead. Nothing happened?

“Okay, I’m going to work. Breakfast is on the dining table. Get up quickly. It will be cold if you don’t eat for a while.”

Zhang Jing shook his head, and after telling his son, he was ready to go out.

Before leaving, she thought of one more thing: “By the way, don’t forget to go to your dad’s factory in the afternoon!”

Li Shanshan came to his senses when he saw his mother walking out of the door.

Isn’t this a dream?

He walked out of the bedroom excitedly and glanced at the calendar.

July 15, 1995

“I’m really reborn!”

Li Shanshan pinched himself hard, feeling a burning pain in his inner thigh.

It’s not a dream, it’s real.

But if this is true, is it too incredible?

He looked in the mirror again and saw that his handsome face was still full of childishness.

Now I am only 18 years old and have just finished taking the college entrance examination.

If nothing else happens, he will be admitted to Shengtian University in the provincial capital.

After calming down his excitement, Li Xianxuan came to the dining table and saw the breakfast prepared by his mother.

Maybe this is life?

God gave him another chance, and the corners of his eyes were moist.

At home before his rebirth, my father seized on the wave of reform and opening up and opened a bottled water factory in his hometown of Longshan City to produce bottled drinking water.

My mother was an ordinary middle school teacher. At that time, my family was quite wealthy.

It is also because of the good food and clothing he has lived since he was a child, coupled with the enterprising spirit of young people.

The former Li Shanshan did not choose to take over his father’s business.

After graduating from university, he resolutely came to the imperial capital and began his life as a drifter in Beijing.

However, a few years later, my father’s water plant eventually went bankrupt due to poor management.

Seeing his father’s hair turning gray overnight due to worry, there was nothing he could do at that time.

Thinking of this, Li Xianxuan clenched his trembling hands, and his eyes gradually became firm.

“I won’t let my parents and myself go through this pain again. I must change everything in the future!”

After making up his mind, Li Shanshan took a deep breath.

Since I want to change, what should I do now?

This is the best of times!

With the wave of reform and opening up, China’s economy has begun to take off, and countless opportunities are right in front of us.

Although Li Shanshan had no experience in starting his own business before.

But in that era of information explosion, through media propaganda, Li Shanshan was already well aware of the experiences of various successful people.

Summarize the reasons why these people are successful.

Basically, they relied on their strong personal judgment to grasp the direction of economic development and seize market opportunities in advance.

Of course, the most important thing is that they dare to enter the market in advance!

By the time ordinary people enter the market again and want to make money, the time has passed, the market is saturated, and most people have become harvested leeks.

But now, what I lack most is business opportunities!

At this time, he suddenly remembered that on the last night before his rebirth, his phone received a push message of “Bomb Headlines”.

“Breaking news! A new richest man in China is born in 2021!”

“Zhong Suisui, chairman of Nongfu Spring, has a latest net worth of 504.31 billion!” “With a net profit of 25 million

per day, how many business opportunities are hidden behind a bottle of mineral water?” ”

Bomb Headlines exclusive reveal – how to reach the top of life by selling water!”

…

At this moment, Li Xianshan’s mind suddenly appeared in his family’s water plant.

This small factory that I once looked down on turned out to contain huge business opportunities!

Who would have thought that China’s richest man more than 20 years later would make his fortune selling water.

“If I start selling water from now on, maybe I will have the opportunity to become the world’s richest man in the future?”

Li Shanshan’s mind flashed with countless images, and his heart twitched violently at this moment.

Selling drinking water was definitely a trendy industry in 1995.

I have to say that my father’s choice to open a water plant at this time proves that he has a certain vision.

At that time, people usually drank cold drinks.

And selling water in bottles is indeed very novel.

In Li Xianshan’s memory, the price of a bottle of water was very expensive in the beginning.

He once checked newspapers and information from that year. In 1990, a bottle of Zhuzhou mineral water even sold for a sky-high price of 3 yuan.

(Note: The data comes from the official website. There are pictures and facts in the comment area. Everyone is welcome to discuss and comment.)

In that era, you could buy a pound of pork at this price.

But even so, the sales of mineral water are still booming, and there is an endless stream of channel dealers coming to purchase goods every day.

As for my father’s small water plant, the price is not that expensive, but the profit is still considerable.

But unfortunately, the good times did not last long.

My father didn’t know how to establish his own brand. Driven by huge profits, unscrupulous merchants were waiting for the opportunity.

Many small workshops sell fake and shoddy water under their own brand names, causing immeasurable losses to water plants.

Moreover, during the most prosperous period of development, Dad did not expand production in response to market needs.

We are just satisfied with the status quo and have no choice to invest in expanding production and occupying more markets.

Later capital giants entered this market and relied on their abundant funds to quickly promote their own brands and occupy the national market.

From then on, the efficiency of the water plant became worse and worse, until it finally went bankrupt.

In the final analysis, my father’s vision is not far-sighted enough.

Of course, this was also caused by the limitations of the times at that time.

Thinking of this, Li Shanshan hurriedly finished his breakfast and prepared to go to the water plant to have a talk with his father.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Just when Li Shanshan was about to go out, there was a knock on the door.
