From a woodshed to an empire, from five yuan to a net worth of tens of billions - this is the story of a son-in-law who used his brains to change his life.
Chen Xuan is dead.
The top private equity trader of the 21st century died suddenly in his office after working continuously for 72 hours.
When he woke up, he was lying in a cold woodshed with his legs in plaster and only a crumpled five yuan in his pocket.
He became a useless son-in-law that everyone laughed at - his newlywed wife was as cold as ice, his mother-in-law forced him to divorce every day, and the whole city was watching his jokes.
But no one knows that this waste lying in the woodshed has the business model for the next twenty years in his mind.
What can you do with five dollars?
Chen Xuan tells you: With five yuan, you can purchase goods and set up a street stall; by setting up a street stall, you can earn the first pot of gold; with the first pot of gold, you can buy the first store; with the first store, you can become a chain brand; when the chain brand is listed, it can ring a bell; when it is listed, it can go global.
He used modern business thinking to reduce dimensions and attack the traditional model, and gradually built his own business empire amidst everyone's ridicule.
In three years, from Haicheng to the provincial capital, from the provincial capital to the capital, and from the capital to the world.
The son-in-law who once slept in a woodshed became a business emperor.
But what makes him most proud is not his tens of billions of net worth, not his global territory, but the woman who was cold to him at first, and finally leaned on his shoulder and said:
"It took us ten years to go from zero to tens of billions."
"But I feel like it was just a moment."
