一、命运的另一种可能性数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
王来春没有含着金汤匙出生。与之相反,她人生的序章充满了艰辛。
1967年,王来春出生于广东汕头一户普通农家。数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
父母面朝黄土背朝天,努力凭借几亩贫瘠的土地养活家人。艰难的家境迫使人自行成长。王来春的哥哥王来胜率先离家,离开槐泽村向村外的世界讨生活。
对于困在小小村落里的王来春来说,哥哥背井离乡的选择不是件坏事。王来胜去了更广袤的天地,偶尔回一次家,会给她带去新奇的物件。一点点外界的讯息,是当时农村生活里罕见的光亮。
15岁那年,王来春初中毕业,她心里知道,自己没机会继续读书了。父母日夜操劳,每年开学前东拼西凑为她筹措学费的景象,她看了一年又一年。更高等的教育,注定和她无缘。
但她也有自己的憧憬,她想跟着哥哥出去打工,一来贴补家用,养活自己,二来见见外面的世界,圆儿时的梦想。
但打工的想法,很快被家人泼了冷水。那年头,潮汕女孩注定要嫁人。书不必再读,但让王来春出去打工也不在她父母的计划内。年纪到了,就找个合适的人家嫁了,这是那时候主流的思想。
王来春想不通为什么,也不愿意把一生虚耗在槐泽村这方天地。但她没有选择的能力。
等待她的是务农,日复一日的务农,就像这片土地上曾经的男人、女人一样,日出而作日落而息。过年的时候,哥哥王来胜会回村,给她带来城市的陌生食物、新潮玩意儿和一点点期望。
1988年,王来春等到了转机。改革深化,台商登陆,工厂、技术、新产品,等待着更多劳动力的补足,新兴的深圳虹吸着全国各地的人力资源,向不同身份背景的年轻人发出召唤。
她拗过父母,跟着哥哥去城市里寻找一份工作,一个摆脱命运桎梏的机会。
郭台铭也来了深圳。3年前,他的鸿海精密在美国成立了分公司,个人电脑连接器的订单接到手软。大陆的政策红利,让郭台铭看到了扩大生产的机会。富士康和那个时代大大小小的台湾企业一样,在珠三角扎下了根。
那时精密的电子设备,本质也是流水线组装,不是多么高端技术的产业。但它需要工人的耐心、细致。综合种种考量,工资更低的女性成为了用工首选。
富士康第一批招工,要了149个人。
王来春很高兴,自己也入选了。数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
这意味着,她不必漂泊着忐忑,为下一顿饭焦虑,不会无奈回村,接受既定的命运。
二、熬过苦难
王来春没想到,工厂生活会比农活更加枯燥乏味。
每天憋在工厂里持续十几个小时的重复劳作,胳膊是酸的,眼睛是胀的,脑袋刚沾上枕头就昏昏睡去。而这还只是生活辛劳的一角。
那时富士康工厂的电力供应充满了随机性。如果半夜忽然来电,那她们就要抓紧时间,从睡梦里醒来,坐回流水线加班。
群体生活讲究秩序、服从,但鲜少对人的关怀。大通铺、简陋的澡堂,冬冷夏热的天气,每一个环节都在劝退员工。人自然也如潮水涨落,一波波来,一波波走。
台湾来的技术员工流动率低,郭台铭本人时常现身一线抓生产。但同一批入厂的工人姐妹,转眼就只剩下王来春一个。数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
新人还在源源不断地到来,郭台铭在富士康一次次演讲,台下的人换了一批又一批,王来春不变的面孔,在郭台铭眼中混个了眼熟。
“没有谁是天生穷命”类似的演讲台词,也映入王来春的脑海。她开始思考一些,流水线之外的事情。组装环节上,哪一个小细节还可以优化?自己有没有可能,像郭台铭一样站在几百几千人面前演讲,指挥一个工厂运转?
坚持、努力,王来春在流动性极大的富士康工厂中逐渐脱颖而出,她当上了班组长,开始接触一个工厂更多面的生产奥秘。
事实证明,只读了初中的王来春并不比任何人差劲。她保持着勤奋好学的态度,向同事、领导讨教,向台湾来的驻厂干部取经。一来二去,富士康工厂里的人,或多或少都听闻过这位拼命三娘。她在工厂的职位也步步高升。数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
10年时间,她从最底层的流水线工人,成长为工人管理层的最高职位“课长”,担负着上千名员工的管理职责。这也是内地工人当时能在富士康工厂晋升的最高职位。
然后她决定辞职。她意识到,自己磨砺了十年,再也不是当年那个刚刚离开村子的懵懂女孩,她有能力闯出一番自己的事业。
一年后,她拉着哥哥王来胜投入多年积蓄,又另找银行贷款,收购了一家香港公司“香港立讯”。传闻就连郭台铭本人,也在其中扮演了投资人的角色,大方出资帮助王来春实现创业第一步。
香港立讯,其实做的也是富士康当年的生意,生产各种电子连接器、连接线。王来春对此再熟悉不过。她供职十年的富士康不仅没有成为她的竞争对手,反而慷慨地把订单外包给了立讯。
原来当时富士康的代工订单早已排满,产能扩张速度和风险已经跟不上订单增长的态势,而王来春对品控的高要求早就深深刻在郭台铭的记忆里。
于是王来春的香港立讯凭借富士康订单的投喂,一步一步站稳脚跟、扩大规模。多年的实战经验也让王来春摸索出一条自己的管理模式,在大环境向上的背景下,公司发展一日千里。
三、看见女性创业者数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
2009年立讯精密在深圳挂牌上市,当时人称“小富士康”,王来春被人称为“女版郭台铭”,从当年的打工妹成长为上市公司的董事长。
再往后,眼界开阔的王来春看准了科技行业的趋势,大力投资技术研发,果断收购上下游产业链公司,进行一体化布局。
2011年,立讯精密获得了iPad连接线的代工订单。果链成为了立讯腾飞的关键。从无线充电、声学器件、LCP天线、线性马达到触控模组,立讯精密的业务范围一再扩张,收获的苹果代工订单也持续增长。
苹果CEO库克曾亲自考察过立讯精密的昆山工厂,对于立讯远超行业的规范程度和良品率感到震撼。这让王来春创办的立讯,逐步成长为果链上最核心的供应商之一。
2011年,立讯精密的总营收是25.56亿元。2022年前三季度,立讯的营收已高达1452.52亿元。
市场更有传闻,苹果即将推出的智能头显产品,极有可能选定立讯精密作为初期的独家供应商。
王来春的故事,没有太多花哨的细节或是天才的捷径,她打工、创业的每一步都来自脚踏实地。勤奋、坚持、保持梦想,就是这位商界大佬朴素的成功秘诀。数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
根据世界经济论坛发布的《2022年全球性别差距报告》,过去5年内,全球女性创始人的比例增长了100%。更多女性创业者的故事,有望被大家看见。

Wang Laichun is a microcosm of countless female entrepreneurs in China who have seized the opportunities of The Times and stepped in.数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
The Forbes 100 BusinessWomen of China list, released on March 8 to mark International Women’s Day, pays tribute to the significance and contribution of women to China’s economy.
Kardashian, one of the 18 members of the group, made the list at number six. As president of Alibaba’s domestic digital business section, she is in charge of core businesses such as Taobao, Tmall and Alibaba Momma, steering the e-commerce giant’s basic plate.
Meng Wanzhou, rotating chairwoman of Huawei, and Zhang Nan, CEO of Douyin Group, ranked fourth and fifth on the list, respectively, as female representatives in the technology and Internet industries.
The most recognizable businesswoman on the list is Dong Mingzhu, chairwoman of Gree Electric Appliances, who ranks second. Over the past 30 years, she has led Gree Electric Appliances to experience the test of The Times with her unique personality charm and become a manufacturing leader step by step.
The number one woman on the list, many people have never heard of her. Wang Laichun, founder of Lishun Precision, has made the Forbes 100 BusinessWomen of China list for the second year in a row thanks to her extensive influence in the global supply chain and her tough entrepreneurial story, inspiring others to continue to dream and seize opportunities in a complex, changing and challenging market environment.数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
“Wang Laichun is the epitome of the countless women entrepreneurs in China who have seized the opportunities of The Times and stepped into the business world.”
Another possibility of fate
Wang Laichun was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Her prologue, by contrast, is full of hardship.
In 1967, Wang Laichun was born in Shantou, Guangdong Province, in an ordinary farmer’s family.
Parents face the earth with their backs to the sky, trying to feed their family with a few acres of barren land. Difficult family circumstances forced people to grow up on their own. Wang Laichun’s brother Wang Laisheng took the lead in leaving home, leaving Huaize village to the world outside the village for a living.
For Wang Laichun, stuck in a small village, his brother’s choice to leave was not a bad thing. Wang went to the wider world, and when he returned home occasionally, he would bring her novel objects. A little outside information was a rare light in rural life at that time.
When Wang Laichun graduated from junior high school at the age of 15, she knew she had no chance to continue her education. She watched year after year as her parents worked day and night, scraping together money to pay for her tuition before school started. Higher education was destined to elude her.
But she also has her own vision, she wants to follow her brother to go out to work, one to supplement the family, feed themselves, two to see the outside world, to fulfill the dream of childhood.
But the idea of a part-time job, soon by the family poured cold water. That year, Chaoshan girl was destined to marry. Books don’t need to be read anymore, but it wasn’t in her parents’ plan for Wang to go out to work. When you get old, find a suitable family to marry, this was the prevailing thought at that time.数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
Wang Laichun could not understand why, and he did not want to spend his life in Huaize Village. But she doesn’t have the power to choose.
What awaited her was farming, farming day after day, as the men and women of this land once did, rising and ending. During Chinese New Year, her brother Wang Laisheng would return to the village, bringing her strange food from the city, new gadgets and a little hope.
In 1988, Wang Laichun waited for a change. With the deepening of reform and the landing of Taiwanese businessmen, factories, technologies and new products are waiting to be filled with more labor force. The emerging Shenzhen siphon human resources from all over the country, calling to young people of different identities and backgrounds.
She defied her parents and followed her brother to the city in search of a job, a chance to escape the shackles of fate.
Terry Gou also came to Shenzhen. Three years ago, his Hon Hai Precision Industry set up a branch in the US, and orders for PC connectors were slow. China’s policy dividend, Gou saw an opportunity to expand production. Foxconn, like Taiwanese companies large and small of that era, has its roots in the Pearl River Delta.
At that time, sophisticated electronic equipment, by nature, was assembly line, not a very high-end technology industry. But it requires patience and meticulousness from workers. For all these reasons, lower-paid women are preferred.
Foxconn was the first to hire 149 workers.
Wang Laichun was delighted to be included.
This means that she does not have to drift uneasy, anxious for the next meal, will not be helpless to return to the village, accept the established fate.
Survive the suffering数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
Wang Laichun had no idea that factory life would be more boring than farm work.
The repetitive work in the factory lasted for more than ten hours every day. My arms were sore, my eyes were swollen, and my head fell asleep as soon as it touched the pillow. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
At the time, the electricity supply at Foxconn’s factories was full of randomness. If the power comes on in the middle of the night, they have to hurry up, wake up and go back to the assembly line.
Group life pays attention to order and obedience, but seldom cares for people. Big bunk, simple bathhouse, cold winter and hot summer weather, every link is to persuade employees to leave. People naturally ebb and flow like the tide, a wave to, a wave to go.
Taiwan from the technical staff turnover rate is low, Terry Gou himself often appeared at the front line to grasp production. But the same batch of workers into the factory sisters, in an instant only Wang Laichun.
New people are still coming, Gou in Foxconn speech again and again, the audience for a batch of another batch, Wang Lai Chun unchanged face, in the eyes of Gou Tai Ming mixed a familiar.数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
A similar speech line, “No one is born poor,” also came to mind. She started thinking about things outside the assembly line. What little detail in the assembly process can be optimized? Is it possible to stand in front of hundreds of thousands of people and direct a factory like Terry Gou?
Adhere to, efforts, Wang Laichun in the great fluidity of the Foxconn factory gradually stand out, she became the team leader, began to contact a factory more surface production secrets.
As it turns out, Wang Laichun, who only went to junior high school, is no worse than anyone else. She maintains a studious attitude, seeking advice from colleagues, leaders, and resident cadres from Taiwan. At one time or another, people in Foxconn factories have heard of this desperate woman. She also rose through the ranks at the factory.
In 10 years, she rose from the lowest level of assembly line worker to the highest position in the management of workers, “section leader”, responsible for the management of thousands of employees. It was also the highest position a mainland worker could be promoted to at a Foxconn plant at the time.
Then she decided to quit. She realized that after ten years of grinding, she was no longer the ignorant girl who had just left the village. She was capable of making a career of her own.
A year later, she took her brother, Wang Laisheng, and invested years of savings, and then found another bank loan, to buy a Hong Kong company, Hong Kong Risto. Even Terry Gou is rumored to have played the role of an investor, contributing generously to help Wang get started.
Hong Kong Lishun, in fact, is also doing Foxconn when the business, the production of a variety of electronic connectors, connecting lines. Wang Laichun knows this all too well. Rather than becoming a competitor, Foxconn, where she worked for a decade, generously outsources its orders to Lishun.
At that time, Foxconn’s contract manufacturing orders had already been full, and the speed and risk of capacity expansion could not keep up with the growth of orders. And Wang Laichun’s high requirements for quality control had long been deeply engraved in Gou’s memory.
So Wang Laichun Hong Kong Lishun with Foxconn orders to feed, step by step to stand firm, expand the scale. Years of practical experience also let Wang Laichun find out a management mode of his own, in the background of the upward environment, the company’s development.
Seeing women entrepreneurs
In 2009, when Lishun Precision went public in Shenzhen, it was known as “Little Foxconn”. Wang Laichun, known as the “female version of Terry Gou”, grew from a working girl to the chairman of the listed company.
Later, Wang Laichun saw the trend of the science and technology industry with a broad vision, invested heavily in technology research and development, and decisively acquired upstream and downstream industry chain companies for integration layout.
In 2011, Ritsu Precision won a contract manufacturing order for the iPad cable.
In 2011, Ritsu Precision won a contract manufacturing order for the iPad cable. Fruit chain has become the key to Lishun’s take-off. From wireless charging, acoustic devices, LCP antennas, linear horses to touch modules, Lichon Precision has been expanding its business scope again and again, and its contract manufacturing orders from Apple have continued to increase.
Apple CEO Tim Cook had personally inspected the Kunshan factory of Lishun Precision, and was shocked by the standard degree and quality rate of Lishun far beyond the industry. This let Wang Laichun founded Lishun, gradually grow into one of the most core suppliers on the fruit chain.
In 2011, the total revenue of Lishun Precision was 2.556 billion yuan. In the first three quarters of 2022, Licun’s revenue has reached 145.52 billion yuan.
It is also rumored that Apple is likely to select Lishuum Precision as the exclusive supplier for its upcoming smart headset products.数字化转型网szhzxw.cn
Wang Laichun’s story doesn’t have too many fancy details or shortcuts to genius. Every step of her work and entrepreneurship comes from her feet on the ground. Hard work, persistence and keeping the dream are the simple secret of success for this business tycoon.
According to the World Economic Forum’s 2022 Global Gender Gap Report, the proportion of women founders worldwide has increased by 100% in the past five years. Hopefully, more stories of women entrepreneurs will be heard.
