Li Xiongwu, male, born in wanlecun, Shanshan Town, March 19, 1981, returned to Loudi after graduating from agricultural economics and management major of China Agricultural University in June 2007. After being frustrated, he was thinking about how to find his own way to success.
He had a brother who worked in Tibet and had some knowledge of the policy of the western development when he was a university student. He is determined to go to Tibet and explore. With more than 700 yuan, he left Loudi.
Take the train from Loudi to Tibet, on the way to Tibet. But as soon as he arrived at Naqu, Li Xiongwu had a plateau reaction. He was worried that he could not bear to go directly to Tibet. He had heard before that some mainlanders were in danger of their lives due to the reflection of the plateau and had no effect in rescuing them. He wants him to go alone. If anything happens, it will be a big trouble.
He decided to stop for a while, adjust to the environment and move on.
He found a suitable hotel to stay in, when he had more than 300 yuan. He thought of running out of money and going to his brother.
The hotel is on the third floor of a small street. He lives on the second floor. From the window, he can see the peddlers in the street selling. He was interested in a Tibetan man who rang a gold bell to sell Cordyceps. He also knew that Cordyceps was more expensive than gold. But like selling vegetables, the man set up a stall, rang the doorbell, and stopped to answer the buyer who came for consultation.
He suddenly thought: don't look down on this ordinary man with black and red face. A bag of Cordyceps beside him is worth millions. If you follow this man to learn an apprentice, you may be able to make money.
He also heard of the pain of digging Cordyceps sinensis, which was wearing sheepskin clothes, crawling on the snow on the plateau, with eyes everywhere, frozen to the bone. Because of this, he thought, Cordyceps is expensive. What is bitter to eat? Since the examination of civil servants was frustrated, he made up his mind that if he could not dress, he would never return home. How can we make money and dress without suffering?
These simple truths have changed several circles in his mind, which means that he is well prepared for his full thought.
So he came downstairs, went down the street, and began to talk to the man. He is confident that his cunning is enough to "conquer" the plateau man.
How to get close to this man? He saw a guy selling beef kebabs, and his inspiration came. He bought 20 kebabs and came to the man with the hot kebab. At this time, the man was getting a gap.
Li Xiongwu smiled sweetly and said, "master, it's cold. Eat some beef to warm your body." The man gave him a look. He is confident that he smiles sweetly because his face is white and his teeth are white. When he went to university, a female teacher would touch his face after class. He was not at ease. He thought that I had gone to college, and you touched my face? But he is also more confident in his smile. What's more, I am an honest, progressive and kind-hearted person. These qualities will not be easily rejected on my face.
The man saw that he was wearing glasses and was very gentle. He took the beef skewer and ate it.
"Are you from Hunan?"
"Er, yes, how can master hear it?"
"Several Hunan people have bought Cordyceps here before and talked about it!"
Li Xiongwu immediately worried that the impression that those Hunan people left on him was not good, then it was over.
Who knows man words peak a turn, ask: "you travel here?"
"No, I'm looking for a job here!"
"Looking for a job? Do you suffer from this? It's not as comfortable as your water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Many mainlanders don't get used to it. "
He wanted to say that he stayed because he didn't adapt here. But the words to the mouth and swallow the words back. If you can't adapt to the climate, will you be accepted as an apprentice?
So he got to know the man by chatting with him.
He chatted with the man here for three days. When he was busy, he began to fight and his eyebrows moved. He saw the man selling five or six Jin of Cordyceps a day. What is the concept of Cordyceps? It's 40000 yuan a Jin from him. It's estimated that it will cost more than one hundred thousand jin to roll over to the mainland. It's a deal of more than 200000 yuan a day. He was placed on the street, just like a lady selling cabbage in the mainland, who sold 200000 yuan a day.
This makes Li Xiongwu secretly strange.
He was determined to follow the man.
When three days later, Li Xiongwu offered to take men as his teacher, it was not abrupt at all. They already know each other and their friends. They have nothing to talk about.
It's no exaggeration not to talk. Your acquaintances of decades may spend less than 10 hours alone chatting with you, but the other person may say, "I'm dozens of friends. I don't talk without words." In fact, you may not know a lot about him. But when you get along with a person for three days and three nights, it's not an exaggeration to say that you have reached the point where you don't talk without saying anything.
Therefore, Li Xiongwu proposed to worship a man as a teacher, to dig and sell Cordyceps with him.
Man is not surprised, a stranger with you, and with you for three days, there must be his purpose. As long as the purpose is justified, it can be understood or accepted. What's wrong with a young man coming to Tibet thousands of miles away in the face of the obvious discomfort of the climate?
But the man refused him.
The man said, "it's too cold. You can't bear the pain."
Li Xiongwu had expected that the man would say this, and knew that the man's words were a test for him, not a real refusal.
Li Xiongwu said: "please rest assured, master, if you can do it, I will be able to do it. Even if the master asked me to lie on the ice and beg for carp, I would not refuse! "
The man smiled and said, "I don't understand what lies on ice to beg for carp."
Li Xiongwu then told the story of lying on ice and begging for carp once, saying: "if the master needs me, I'd like to lie on ice and beg for carp for the master!"
The man laughed and said, "you are the most lovely mainland person I have ever met. In this way, I'll take you to dig for two days first. If you can get used to it, let's talk about it. "
"Thank you, master. Please accept my apprentice's worship!"
Li Xiong arched his hand and bowed his knee. Attracted several passers-by. The relationship between teachers and apprentices is determined.

The next day, Shifu's caterpillar fungus was sold out, so he took Li Xiongwu to the mountain to dig for it. The master gave him a sheepskin. Li Xiongwu felt that the real sheepskin was different from any other one he had worn before.
When I came to an unknown mountain, I saw nothing but white. This is August. Hunan is the autumn tiger season. Here, the sky is the sun, the mountains are years of snow. Such a spectacle, if not seen with one's own eyes, would be a myth. When we get to the snow, we can't walk upright at all. It's snow. It's totally different from the one or two occasional snowfalls in the mainland. Because it's for snow, it's actually snow and ice, and it slips when you step on it. People can only lie on the snow and crawl forward. Their feet are like snakes, bending and stretching. When you see caterpillar fungus, you can only dig it with a short hoe lying on your back. In fact, it's more accurate than a shovel. Although it's shoveling snow, it's actually more difficult than Earth. What's more, it will take more effort to dig out the snow and frozen soil. But no matter how hard you sweat, it's impossible. Some of them are bitterly cold. Bone piercing, that is not a general adjective. Only when you have really experienced it can you understand the meaning of this word.
Li Xiongwu followed his master in Naqu for two years and seven months, digging and pouring. Pour, that is to say, sell, but the composer is called pour. Probably also has the wholesale meaning, perhaps also has the pour original intention in it. Because those who buy Cordyceps from them will not be real consumer terminals, they are all doing business. They are the source of goods. It may take several times for them to reach the consumers. So I think the word is very accurate.
Li Xiongwu digs with his master. During this period, his footprints are all over Tibet, and he has accumulated a certain number of contacts. By this time, he had fully adapted to the climate in Tibet.
That night, the master said, "please" him for dinner. He is with his master every day. How can he say "please"? He pondered what the master meant. Li Xiongwu thought of an allusion: if the boss invites the employees to dinner, it means that the boss will fire the employees. What do you mean, master?
After they sat down face to face, the master put a Cordyceps bag on the table and said, "ah Wu, you can leave. You have worked hard with me in recent years. I gave you 15 catties of Cordyceps. "
The master wanted him to fly alone. Li Xiongwu thinks he can fly alone. But he didn't expect his master would give him so much capital. What is the concept of 15 Jin Cordyceps? At that time, it was 57000 yuan a Jin to take the goods from them.
Li Xiongwu sincerely said, "master, this is borrowed by the apprentice. I will give it back to the master.".

Li Xiongwu came to Bajiao street behind Potala Palace with 15 Jin of Cordyceps on his back. This is an ancient commercial street, which was built when Princess Wencheng was born. This is the end of 2006. He set up a stall there and started the Cordyceps business. He used three panels to stand up. He was a stall in the daytime and a house and a bed in the evening. In less than a year and a half, 15 Jin of Cordyceps has become 25 Jin. At this time, he ended the state of setting up a stall and officially opened a shop. He specially went to find the master and returned 15 Jin of Cordyceps to him. The master resolutely refused to accept it and said, "this is the reward for you. Besides, how can I get back what I have given you?" Li Xiongwu said: "please accept it. If you don't teach me, where can I dig and pour caterpillar fungus? What I earn now, take it back to my hometown, I'm already a rich man. It's all the kindness of Shifu. How can I not even return the capital to Shifu? Then I'll be upset! " After repeatedly pushing, Shifu saw that he could not refuse, so he had to accept it.
More than a year later, by 2011, Li Xiongwu had opened three stores, which were handed over to three apprentices for management.
At the end of the year, he went home to see his mother.
Although Li Xiongwu has made great progress in business, he has not taken good care of his body. His hair is long, like a prison inmate. He is 1.75 meters tall, with a gross weight of only 98 Jin. When he went to Tibet, he weighed 135 Jin. Many people can't recognize him. Some recognize him and think he's taking drugs outside. Mother saw him, very sad, said: "Xiongwu, you must deal with Tibet, come back, mom is old, mom doesn't want white hair to send black hair!"
Ma's words made Li Xiongwu cry. He has been wandering in Tibet for many years, and his hometown and parents have always been his most concerned. This kind of feeling, the children who have been in their hometown for a long time may feel some affectation, but for Li Xiongwu, who has been wandering all year round, it comes very true. He promised his mother that within a month, he would transfer all three stores to three apprentices and return to his hometown, Wanle village.

When Li Xiongwu returned to his hometown, the three shops transferred a total of more than 2.8 million yuan. No doubt he is rich. Li Xiongwu, 31, is a bit complacent. He has built a beautiful house, which is an important ruler for villagers to evaluate whether a family has money or not, and it is also what Li Xiongwu, 31, just needs. With this beautiful house, Li Xiong
