记者—

请赵总向地球村民网友们打个招呼吧？

赵万龙：

大家好，我就是9个孩子的爸爸，也是网上传说的450亿资产的万正集团的老板。

记者问—

你这个工厂到底有多大呀？

赵万龙：

15000平方。我的主业就是做应急电源这一块的。只要有配电房的地方都有我们的设备。我是万正电源集团，然后别人老说我是方正集团。已经辟谣了。

记者问——

你觉得管理企业难，还是管理9个孩子难？

赵万龙：都难，都很难。

记者问—

今天我们来采访你之前，我们的摄影师说你是全中国最牛的男人。学历比你高的，没有你事业做得好。事业做得好的没有你孩子多。哈哈哈。

赵万龙：

我们生了这么多孩子，我们工厂的女员工本来是不想生孩子，到了我们厂里面工作后都生了孩子，有的还生了几个娃呢。

记者——

哈哈哈，我觉得国家要给你发一个贡献奖，榜样的力量。您现在有9个孩子，你是怎么样去教育孩子的呢？而且你工作又那么忙。

赵万龙：

我最看重的是孩子的生活品格，从小要讲规矩，守规矩，懂道理，有敬畏，只要他们品格上没有问题，我也不会过多的干涉。以后他们上大学的学费，他哪怕出国留学费，这些我都会给他付的。但是他们大学毕业之后，他就是他，我就是我。那所有的人生之路由他们自己走。

给我女儿，给我儿子经常讲，我的钱是我的钱，你长大了赚的钱才是你的钱。除了买车买房我们是不会给他们钱，让他们不劳而获去花我的钱，包括工厂我也不留给他们，我的工厂已经分给我的员工了，核心员工都是股东。

记者问——

你为什么要去办一个工厂呢？

赵万龙：

我是88年出生的人，只读了小学五年级，我爸给我拿不了学费，那年我就辍学了。从13岁出来打工，在砖瓦厂干过，在烩面馆干过杂活儿，刷外墙漆、刷过烟囱那些危险的活儿。小时候的时候，我家里边就穷的揭不开锅呀，养我们四个四兄弟姐妹，吃没有吃，穿没有穿。几乎就是家里边所有用的吃的全部是要赊账。我的衣服全部都是我哥给我姐穿的，穿剩下的衣服穿到我这里来。我没有冬天的衣服。

我在山东威海的时候，我出过两次意外。一个是从5楼掉下去，然后我就是本能的抓住那个绳子，那个摩擦力带着那个热量把整个就是就这里手心啊都熟掉了，但是人没事。

我是出去打了几年工之后，后来我18岁又回老家去，想上学，还是要靠知识来改变命运。后来我就在家里边自己学了一年，因为小时候自卑，不喜欢跟别人交流，就长大了就一直口吃。在家里边自学的时候，我为了练这个口才，我把那些哲学书，我每天早上5点多起床，一直大声朗读到8点钟。每天就这样每天这样，他们不知道我在读什么。加上我养一群小狗，又跟我们村里面又不交流。他们就是说对我的认知就是这个人有精神病，就是我变成了这种好吃懒做，精神不正常。

年底的时候相亲，我当时我记得我相了大概十几个人，然后就一直相一直相一直没人同意。我这些亲戚到我家里边就是当着我的面直接说我是个废物。你说受这么大打击，我也待不下去了。我爸直接跟我讲他万龙，要不你出去打工吧，当个保安或啥的，你一个月能挣个五六百块钱。就是2006年的时候，我爸给我说了那些话之后，在东莞做业务，老板说一个月600块钱底薪。跑的业务给两个点提成。如果两个月之内跑不到业务，你也不认识我，我也不认识你。总共在那里干了7个多月……

来到乐清之后，我身上已经身无分文了。我妹夫在工厂里面做那个技术的，他说他厂里面他老板在招业务员，他老板说我们招是招，但是不招外地的。我还给他承诺，我说两个月之内做不到业务，我分文不取。他就留着我。当时我有个很明确的目标，我要把我厂里的图片发到网上去。我每天在公司里做网站，我为了拿到第一个第一手的图片，我自己买了一台相机，卡片相机2000多块钱。我已经没有工资了，我借了6个人的钱。然后我就拿着拍拍照片上传到网上。你无论是百度还是搜狗还是雅虎，一搜全是我的信息。

记者问——

当时那一年给你带来多少业务？

赵万龙：

两三百万吧。但是我们工厂当时一年的营业额也就五六百。

记者问—

你22岁之前吃的这么多苦，对你办企业到底有没有帮助？

赵万龙：

对我最大的帮助就是没有比以前更惨的。就算我所有的东西全部全部都失去，那我本来就没有拥有过，无所谓啊，我可以从头再来。

我真正开工厂是2010年的10月份才开工厂，租一个车间，我自己生产这个店员，在一个小巷里。当时只有我们三个人嘛。原来我们车间的这些工人，他们把他们的钱拿过来给我，就是白天他们在厂里上班，晚上到我这来接线。帮我去装配。每天晚上两一两点请他们吃个宵夜，然后也不用发工资。后来就是我付款收到，我就把他们的钱还给他们。有时候会多给一点。我们好弟兄一起做着做着就做大了。

记者问—

我觉得你一个河南在温州能够站住脚跟，你肯定有特别的厉害之处？

赵万龙：其实也没有过人的厉害之处，就是熬，然后也愿意熬，愿意吃这个苦。你像温州的老板，他的这种精神其实是对我是一种鼓舞。温商不是某个人诚信，而是集体有这种诚信的这种意识。幸福生活，都是奋斗出来的……

记者问——

现在你当老板了，你看重员工的学历还是能力？

赵万龙：我不太看重学历。因为我们的业务员其实都很有能力，小学二年级毕业的也有。原来就是说在这边混社会的，后来混不下去了，到我这来。我也让他做业务，现在做挺好。他现在也做老板了。站在我的立场来讲，曾经有人给过我机会，我也愿意给他人机会，不存在什么竞争对手不竞争对手，因为这个世界足够大。

记者问—

你是从什么时候开始脱离这种自卑的感觉的？

赵万龙：现在也有自卑感啊。这个自卑可能就是一生带着，携带的。不像小时候极度自卑那种，极度自卑就会厌世。18岁之前一直有轻生的念头，我当时只有一个想法，人活着太难了。我想着我出个意外，最后给我爸给我妈挣一笔就结束。养育之恩无以报答。

记者问—

你会让9个孩子给你们养老吗？

赵万龙：其实啊我和我老婆都已经计划好了，等我们老了我们就去旅居。其实我们生孩子并不是为了让孩子让报答我们，为我们养老，但是在我们中国人传统观念里啊。还是要多生孩子好，后继有人啊……

赵万龙的父亲今年71岁，在他工厂里收拾废旧品，月薪3000元

A reporter interviewed the father of nine - child, who shared his successful entrepreneurial journey from a grassroots background to an asset of 45 billion, as well as his secrets of enterprise management and raising nine children, his parenting concepts, and his future retirement plans.

Interviewee

Zhao Wanlong was born in a rural family in Zhoukou, Henan Province in 1988. His parents were both farmers, and the family was quite poor. His wife, Tian Dongxia, was born in 1992 and dropped out of school to work outside at a young age. They met in Wenzhou in 2008 when they were both working there. The two got married in 2009 and started their own business after marriage. Tian Dongxia has always supported Zhao Wanlong during the entrepreneurial process. The couple worked together, and their business gradually improved. Tian Dongxia started having children in 2012, and she gave birth to nine children in 13 years, an average of more than one child per year, and became a full - time mother.

Reporter: Please say hello to the netizens.

Zhao Wanlong: Hello, everyone. I'm the father of nine children. I'm also the boss of the Wanzheng Group, which is said on the Internet to have an asset of 45 billion.

Reporter: How large is your factory?

Zhao Wanlong: It's 15,000 square meters. My main business is in emergency Power supplies. Our equipment can be found wherever there is a switchgear room. I'm from Wanzheng Power Supply Group, but people often mistake it for Fangzheng Group. I've already clarified this.

Reporter: Do you think it's more difficult to manage an enterprise or to manage nine children?

Zhao Wanlong: Both are difficult. Very difficult.

Reporter: Before we interviewed you today, our photographer said that you are the most amazing man in China. Those with higher education than you don't have as good a career as you. Those with a good - performing career don't have as many children as you. Hahaha.

Zhao Wanlong: We have so many children, and the female employees in our factory who didn't want to have children before started having children after working in our factory, and some even had several children.

Reporter: I think the state should give you a contribution award, as you are a role model. Now that you have nine children, how do you educate them? And you are so busy with work.

Zhao Wanlong: What I value most is the character of my children. As long as there is no problem with their character, we won't interfere too much. I will pay for their college tuition, and even for their study abroad if they want. But after they graduate from college, they are themselves, and I am myself. They have to live their own lives. I often tell my daughters and sons that my money is mine, and the money you earn when you grow up is yours. We won't buy them cars or houses, and I won't leave the factory to them either. I have already distributed the factory to my employees, and they are all shareholders.

Reporter: Why did you decide to set up a factory?

Zhao Wanlong: I was born in 1988 and only finished the fifth grade of primary school. My father couldn't afford my tuition, so I dropped out of school. I started working at the age of 13, working in a brick - tile factory, doing odd jobs in a noodle shop, and doing dangerous jobs like painting exterior walls and chimneys. When I was a child, my family was so poor that we couldn't even afford enough food. There were four siblings in my family, and we had nothing to eat or wear. Almost all the food and daily necessities we used had to be bought on credit. My clothes were all the ones that my elder brother and sister had worn out. I didn't have winter clothes.

When I was in Weihai, Shandong, I had two accidents. Once, I fell from the fifth floor, and I instinctively grabbed the rope. The friction and heat burned my palms, but I was unharmed.

After working outside for a few years, I went back to my hometown at the age of 18, wanting to go to school, because I believed that only knowledge could change my destiny. Then I studied by myself at home for a year. Because I was自卑 when I was a child and didn't like to communicate with others, I stuttered when I grew up. When I was studying by myself at home, in order to practice my eloquence, I got up at more than 5 o'clock every morning and read philosophical books aloud until 8 o'clock. I did this every day, and others didn't know what I was reading. Plus, I raised a group of puppies and didn't communicate with the villagers. They thought I was crazy, that I was lazy and mentally abnormal.

During the Spring Festival, I went on blind dates. I remember I went on about a dozen blind dates, but no one agreed. My relatives came to my house and directly called me a loser in front of me. After suffering such a big blow, I couldn't stay at home anymore. My father directly told me, Wanlong, why don't you go out to work, be a security guard or something, and you can earn 500 or 600 yuan a month. In 2006, after my father said those words, I worked as a salesman in Dongguan. The boss said the basic salary was 600 yuan a month, with a 2% commission on the business I ran. If I couldn't get any business within two months, we would consider each other as strangers. I worked there for more than seven months in total...

When I came to Yueqing, I was penniless. My brother - in - law was a technician in a factory, and he said his boss was recruiting salesmen, but the boss said they didn't recruit people from other places. I promised him that I wouldn't ask for a penny if I couldn't get any business within two months, so he kept me. At that time, I had a clear goal, which was to post the pictures of my factory online. I made websites in the company every day. In order to get the first - hand pictures, I bought a card - type camera for more than 2,000 yuan. I had no salary, so I borrowed money from six people. Then I took pictures and uploaded them online. Whether you search on Baidu, Sogou or Yahoo, all the information you can find is about me.

Reporter: How much business did it bring you that year?

Zhao Wanlong: About two or three million. But the annual turnover of our factory was only five or six million at that time.

Reporter: Did the hardships you endured before the age of 22 help you in running your enterprise?

Zhao Wanlong: The biggest help is that there is nothing worse than before. Even if I lose everything, I didn't have much in the first place, so it doesn't matter. I can start all over again.

I really started the factory in October 2010. I rented a workshop and produced power supplies by myself in a small alley. There were only three of us at that time. The original workers in our workshop lent me their money. They worked in the factory during the day and came to my place to connect wires and assemble products at night. I treated them to supper at one or two o'clock in the morning, and I didn't need to pay them wages at that time. Later, when I received the payment, I returned their money, and sometimes I gave them a little more. My good brothers and I worked together, and the business grew bigger and bigger.

Reporter: I think it's not easy for you, a person from Henan, to gain a foothold in Wenzhou. You must have some special strengths.

Zhao Wanlong: In fact, there is no extraordinary strength. It's just perseverance and the willingness to endure hardship. The spirit of Wenzhou merchants has inspired me. Wenzhou merchants are not just about the integrity of an individual, but the whole group has this sense of integrity. A happy life is achieved through hard - work...

Reporter: Now that you are a boss, do you value the education background or the ability of your employees?

Zhao Wanlong: I don't value the education background very much. Because our salesmen are all very capable, and some of them only graduated from the second grade of primary school. There was one who used to be a gangster, but later he couldn't make a living and came to work for me. I also let him do sales, and now he is doing very well. He has even become a boss himself. From my perspective, since someone gave me a chance before, I am also willing to give others a chance. There is no such thing as competitors, because the world is big enough.

Reporter: When did you start getting rid of the feeling of inferiority?

Zhao Wanlong: I still feel inferior now. This inferiority complex may accompany me for a lifetime. It's not as extreme as when I was a child. Extreme inferiority can lead to misanthropy. Before the age of 18, I always had the thought of committing suicide. At that time, I only thought that life was too hard. I thought that if I had an accident and could earn some money for my parents, it would be over. I couldn't repay my parents' kindness of raising me.

Reporter: Will you ask your nine children to support you in your old age?

Zhao Wanlong: In fact, my wife and I have already made a plan. When we get old, we will go on a trip. Actually, we didn't have children just to let them repay us or support us in our old age. But in the traditional Chinese concept, it's better to have more children, so that there will be descendants.
