What is the reason for Li Ka shing s success

When the Japanese invaded China in 194, Li Ka-shing fled with his parents from his hometown of Chaozhou to Hong Kong at the age of 14. Li Ka-shing's father was a teacher, but after arriving in Hong Kong, he couldn't find a job for a while, so the family turned to his uncle Zhuang Jing'an, who was quite wealthy. But soon his father suffered from a serious lung disease, and when he died, he did not give any last words, but asked Li Ka-shing what he wanted.

Li Ka-shing immediately promised: "I will definitely let my family have a good life in the future." ”

After his father's death, Li Ka-shing, the eldest son, gave up his studies to support his family, went to work in a watch company, and later worked as a salesman in a plastic factory. Li Ka-shing knows that in order to become a good salesman, the first thing is to be diligent, and the second is to be flexible. In his later sales career, Li Ka-shing gave full play to these "tricks".

While other colleagues only work eight hours a day, Li Ka-shing works sixteen hours a day, every day. Li Ka-shing's frank view of "part-time work" is that "I am absolutely fully committed to my own work."

I never see it as making money to make ends meet and handing things out to my boss, but as my own business. In this way, it only took Li Ka-shing one year to surpass the other six colleagues and become the salesman with the highest turnover in the whole factory. At that time, his sales performance was seven times higher than that of second place.

At the age of eighteen, he was appreciated by his boss and was promoted to department manager. A year later, he became the general manager of the sales company. There is another episode in Li Ka-shing's rapid promotion:

When he worked as a salesman in the factory, no matter how busy he was, he had to go to night school for further study. He planned to go to university after passing the baccalaureate, and the boss simply promoted him to the position of general manager in order to retain this talent.

In the winter of 1943, when Li Yunjing was seriously ill, he called Li Ka-shing to his bed and whispered: It is better to seek others than to seek oneself, and only by enduring hardships can you become a superior person. Don't be discouraged when you're frustrated, and don't get carried away when you're proud.

In order to support his mother and three younger siblings, 14-year-old Li Ka-shing was forced to drop out of school to make a living in society. Li Ka-shing first worked as a junior apprentice in his uncle Zhuang Jing'an's Zhongnan Watch Company as a tea sweeper. After Li Ka-shing arrived here, the first thing he learned was to observe words and looks, and act when the opportunity arises.

In August 1945, Japan surrendered. Li Ka-shing was transferred to a watch shop on Ko Shing Street as a clerk and learned the art of assembling and repairing watches. In 1947, Li Ka-shing did not want to be under the fence for a long time, so he went to work as a salesman in a hardware factory, and began a sales career that Hong Kong people call "street boy".

In 1948, at the age of 20, Li Ka-shing was promoted to the general manager of the plastic flower factory due to his outstanding sales performance.

As one of the richest people in the Chinese world, Li Ka-shing was not born rich, he also experienced a process from poor to rich. He entered the society early to earn a living and subsidize his family, worked as a teahouse runner, and also worked in his uncle's watch company, and salesman was his last job before starting his own business.
