After working as a worker and government official for several years, restless Wang Shi finally made up his mind to go to Shenzhen to realize his dream. One day, while strolling on the streets of Shekou, he saw several tall tin cans standing on the north side of the road. They were the corn storage warehouses of Thailand's CP Group, which had just entered to establish a feed factory. These corn crops are produced in the United States, Thailand, and Northeast China, and then transported to Shenzhen via Hong Kong. Wang Shi stumbled into the Zhengda feed factory and asked a manager, "Why don't you just import corn directly from Northeast China and transfer it from Hong Kong?" The answer was, "We also want to. However, China's transportation requires quotas, and we are a foreign company that doesn't know who to ask for the truck skins. We can't solve this problem

Wang Shi patted his chest and said, "I can handle transportation by rail or sea. Do you want the corn I brought

So, he found the Guangdong Provincial Shipping Bureau through his connections, and the two sides hit it off immediately. Wang Shi became a corn middleman. From April to December 1983, in less than a year, he earned over 3 million yuan. Then, he established the "Modern Science and Education Instrument Exhibition and Sales Center" with over 3 million yuan of corn as the main source of imported professional video equipment, which became the predecessor of Vanke, China's most famous real estate company in the future. Many years later, when Wang Shi met Liu Yonghao, whom Sichuan hoped for, he jokingly said, "If it weren't for me changing careers at that time, this' feed king 'title would have been mine.
