究竟是怎樣的一個人？如何能從一名普普通通的下崗職工，華麗轉身成為成品油領域的誠信企業家？走近肖顯盛，不禁令人感嘆，中國人的堅韌不拔與不屈不撓、愛心企業家的剛毅果敢與博大愛心，在他身上都有著生動而鮮活的體現。

What kind of a person is it really like? How can I turn from an ordinary laid-off worker to an honest entrepreneur in the field of refined oil products? Approaching Xiao Xiansheng, people can not help but sigh that the perseverance and indomitable Chinese entrepreneurs, the resolute and broad love, have vivid and vivid embodiment in him.

篳路藍縷的“創業夢”

The pioneering "dream of entrepreneurship"

肖顯盛，身著整潔清爽，兩鬢已生斑白，雙眸淳樸卻又炯炯有神。很難想象，如此樸素的他竟是在成品油領域眾多從業者中脫穎而出的“愛心企業家”。或許正是這份質樸，才讓他能夠在成品油行業里深耕細作、奮勇前行。

Xiao Xiansheng, dressed in clean and fresh, temples have been gray, eyes simple but bright. It is hard to imagine that such a simple he was a "caring entrepreneur" among many practitioners in the field of refined oil products. Perhaps it is this simplicity that enables him to work hard in the refined oil industry.

1961年9月，肖顯盛出生于湖北省巴東縣野三關鎮的一個小山村，他降臨人世的那年，正值中國三年自然災害時期。當時大人都食不果腹，自然沒有奶水哺育這個幼小的生命，骨瘦如柴的小生命幾近夭折，父母都覺得他撐不了幾天。然而，生命的頑強讓他奇跡般地存活了下來，如同小樹般緩緩成長。

Xiao Xiansheng was born in September 1961 in a small mountain village in Yesanguan Town, Badong County, Hubei Province. It was three years of natural disasters in China. At that time, adults were not hungry, naturally there was no milk to feed the young life, skinny little life almost died, his parents felt that he could not last a few days. However, the tenacity of life let him miraculously survive, like a small tree slowly growing.

人生充滿了抉擇，有人選擇安逸寧靜，平淡度過一生；有人選擇自甘墮落，庸庸碌碌過完一世；而有人選擇拼搏奮進，胸懷高遠志向。少年時期的肖顯盛，懷著對知識的堅定信念，刻苦攻讀，終于在1979年成功跨越“獨木橋”，邁進了中專——恩施財校巴東分校的大門。

Life is full of choices, some people choose comfortable and quiet, plain life; some people choose to degenerate, mediocre life; and some people choose to struggle, lofty ambition. Juvenile Xiao Xiansheng, with a firm belief in knowledge, study hard, finally in 1979 successfully across the "single-log bridge", into the door of the technical secondary school —— Enshi Finance School Padang branch.

1981年，中專畢業的他被分配至巴東縣商業局下屬食品公司楊柳池食品所，從事出納統計工作，1984年12月調入到巴東縣國營野三關貿易公司，歷任會計、主管會計、辦公室主任。每日面對繁雜的財務數據，這樣的財務工作他堅守了十幾年。從事會計工作，使他對數字極度敏感，單位效益的優劣，每月的會計報表清晰呈現。單位已步入困境，是繼續混日子？還是果斷辭職？看看單位的狀況，想想自己的年齡，還能繼續得過且過嗎？人生能有幾個十幾年？想到這些，肖顯盛的內心猶如燃起熊熊烈火，每個細胞都激情躍動。于是，他做出了令人意想不到的決定——下崗。

In 1981, after graduating from technical secondary school, he was assigned to yangliuchi Food Institute, a food company subordinate to Badong County Commercial Bureau, engaged in cashier statistics work. In December 1984, he was transferred to Badong County State-owned Yesanguan Trading Company, and successively served as accountant, competent accountant and office director. In the face of complicated financial data every day, he stuck to such financial work for more than ten years. Engaged in accounting work, so that he is extremely sensitive to the numbers, the advantages and disadvantages of the unit benefits, the monthly accounting statements clearly presented. The unit has entered difficulties, is to continue to muddle? Or quit it decisively? Look at the situation of the unit, think about their own age, can still continue to muddle along? How many decades can life have? Think of these, Xiao Xiansheng's heart is like a burning fire, every cell passion jump. So, he made an unexpected decision to be —— laid off.

2001年，肖顯盛成為一名下崗職工。面對下崗后既無技術又缺資金的艱難處境，他不得不重新規劃自己的未來。究竟從事何種行業？已經下崗了，卻還未明確經營方向。為了維持生計，他先后在巴東縣野三關鎮開設小商鋪，經營小百貨、副食商品、代銷柴油，并設立柴油加油點。2003年3月，肖顯盛響應改革開放的偉大號召，為促進地方發展。經有關部門批準，在野三關鎮青龍橋社區五組興建柴油加油點，進行柴油零售。2006年6月升級為加油站，經營汽油、柴油。從此，他與石油結下深厚緣分。2012年、2017年、2022年，依照上級要求，先后對加油站存在的安全隱患、油氣回收、雙層罐改造等進行了三次大規模的標準化改造，使加油設備、罩棚及服務設施逐步得以改進和完善，面貌煥然一新，站內環境優美宜人；引進了人工智能收款設備和技術，優化了結算流程，讓顧客加油迅速，結算便捷；時常對員工開展技能和素質培訓，還多次組織員工外出參觀學習，培養員工的主人翁意識，促使服務質量和服務水平不斷提高，令顧客乘興而來，滿意而歸。車輛的進站率和顧客的回頭率逐步攀升。

In 2001, Xiao Xiansheng became a laid-off worker. Faced with the difficult situation of lacking both technology and capital after being laid off, he had to replan his future. What industry exactly are you in? Has been laid off, but not clear direction of business. In order to make a living, he has opened small shops in Yesanguan Town, Badong County, operating small department stores, non-food goods, diesel on a commission basis, and set up diesel refueling points. In March 2003, Xiao Xiansheng responded to the great call of reform and opening up to promote local development. Approved by the relevant departments, in the town in the construction of diesel refueling point, diesel retail. In June 2006, it was upgraded to a gas station, operating gasoline and diesel oil. From then on, he formed a deep relationship with oil. In 2012,2017,2022, According to the requirements of the superior, For the gas station, oil and gas recovery and double-layer tank transformation, So that the refueling equipment, shed and service facilities can be gradually improved and improved, A completely new look, The station environment is beautiful and pleasant; The introduction of artificial intelligence collection equipment and technology, Optimize the settlement process, Let the customers refueling quickly, Convenient settlement; Regular skills and quality training for employees, Also organized employees to go out to visit and study for many times, Develop a sense of ownership among its employees, Promote the continuous improvement of service quality and service level, Make the customer happy to come, Return with satisfaction. The arrival rate of vehicles and the return rate of customers are gradually climbing.

在加油站的經營管理上，他總是以身作則，事必躬親。從早到晚，披星戴月，在加油站隨時都能看到肖顯盛忙碌的身影。工作中的肖顯盛嚴謹認真、一絲不茍，為確保石油質量達標，他不顧疲憊，在凌晨便起身親自等待運油車的到來，量空高測密度、核對油品、管線連接、觀察石油顏色、聞氣味、手感測試、安全值守等環節一個不落。

In the management of gas stations, he always set an example and does everything himself. From morning till night, day and night, in the gas station can be seen at any time Xiao Xiansheng busy figure. Xiao Xiansheng, at work, is rigorous and serious, in order to ensure the quality of oil standards, he regardless of fatigue, in the early morning personally waiting for the arrival of the oil truck, empty high test density, check oil, pipeline connection, observe oil color, smell, feel test, safety duty and other links do not fall.

不忘初心的“誠信情”

Do not forget the original intention of the "integrity"

“安以質為本，質以誠為根”。作為一家“心系石油安全，致力于‘做最優質的成品油銷售商’的企業。肖顯盛始終堅信，產品的品質是企業發展的關鍵，是企業的基石和生命源泉。一個企業若要在激烈的市場競爭中站穩腳跟，就必須保證產品質量，在時代的浪潮中發展，在文化的積累中前行。加油站創立初期，巴東縣紅鷹成品油有限公司一方面承受著經營的壓力，另一方面積極探尋誠信發展的道路。在肖顯盛看來，儒家文化中的“忠誠信實”不僅是經商的秘訣，更是做人的根本，每個人都應當講誠信之言、辦誠信之事、做誠信之人。“忠”，既要忠于國家，也要忠誠于工作單位，維護企業的利益；“誠”，要誠實做人，也要誠信做事；“信”，要給予他人信任，與相關方相互信任、相互扶持；“實”，要辦實事、求實效，扎實完成每一項工作任務。

"Safety is based on quality, quality and honesty as the root". As a " heart of oil safety, committed to 'do the best quality of refined oil sellers' enterprise. Xiao Xiansheng always believes that the quality of products is the key to the development of the enterprise, is the cornerstone and source of life of the enterprise. If an enterprise wants to stand firm in the fierce market competition, it must ensure the quality of its products, develop in the tide of The Times, and move forward in the accumulation of culture. In the early stage of the establishment of the gas station, Badong County Red Eagle Refined Oil Co., Ltd. on the one hand was under the pressure of operation, on the other hand, actively explore the road of integrity development. In Xiao Xiansheng's opinion, the "loyalty and faithfulness" in Confucian culture is not only the secret of doing business, but also the foundation of being a man. Everyone should speak of honesty, do honest things, and be an honest person."Loyalty", to be loyal to the country, but also loyal to the work unit, the interests of the enterprise; "honesty", to be honest, but also honest; "trust", to trust and mutual support; "real", to do practical work, practical results, solid complete each task.

以及品質。他常常表示，我們要用誠實守信的態度，將產品的品質做得更為出色。

And quality. He often said that we should use an honest and trustworthy attitude to make the quality of the products better.

在加油站，誠信之禮已融入企業發展之中，成為廣大員工嚴格遵循的行為準則，逐漸形成了以“誠信”為核心的企業文化。堅持“誠”字當先，秉持誠信經營的理念，做事公平、公正、公開；遵守國家法律法規，嚴格依法經營；在工作中要求干部員工講真話、辦實事、求實效，扎扎實實做好本職工作，用事實說話；在生活中，以孝悌治家、尊親厚友、與人和善，做一個誠實守信、受人敬重的人；在市場競爭中，堅持公平競爭，不詆毀競爭對手，依靠產品品質贏得客戶。在“誠信經營”理念的引領下，肖顯盛始終嚴格按照加油站的規范和要求標準開展經營活動，使經濟效益和社會效益穩步提升。

In the gas station, the gift of integrity has been integrated into the development of the enterprise, become the code of conduct strictly followed by the majority of employees, and gradually formed the corporate culture with "integrity" as the core. Adhere to the "honesty" first, uphold the concept of honest management, work fair, just, open; abide by the national laws and regulations, strictly according to the law; in the work to tell the truth, do practical work, seek practical results, do solid work, speak with facts; in life, filial piety family, respect friends, and friendly, to be an honest and trustworthy, respected people; in the market competition, adhere to fair competition, do not slander competitors, rely on product quality to win customers. Under the guidance of the concept of "honest management", Xiao Xiansheng has always carried out business activities in strict accordance with the norms and requirements of the gas station, so that the economic benefits and social benefits are steadily improved.

反哺家鄉的“慈善心”

Feedback to the hometown of the "charity" heart

今年年初，巴東縣紅鷹成品油有限公司，因其以商養善的全新模式，肖顯盛再次引起了媒體的關注。實際上，這些年來在湖北巴東縣，無論是學校的教育援助，還是貧困家庭的生活保障；無論是疫情防控點的物資捐贈，還是家鄉村落的捐資現場，都能看到肖顯盛活躍的身影。

At the beginning of this year, Badong County Red Eagle refined oil Co., LTD., because of its new model of business, Xiao Xiansheng once again attracted the media attention. In fact, over the years, in Badong County, Hubei Province, Xiao Xiansheng can be seen in the education assistance from schools, the living security of poor families, the material donation of epidemic prevention and control points, and the donation site of his hometown and village.

2024年01月22日，《湖北日報客戶端》報道了這位企業家先后為慈善事業貢獻超過50萬元的感人事跡。以商養善的愛心之舉，著實令人欽佩。為何他如此熱衷？只因他也曾歷經艱辛。

On January 22,2024, Hubei Daily Client reported the touching story of the entrepreneur, who has contributed more than 500,000 yuan to charity. The love of raising good by business is really admirable. Why is he so keen? Because he had also gone through the hardships.

2022年深秋的一天，肖顯盛來到巴東縣特校野三關分校進行愛心助學捐建回訪時了解到，學校入校道路兩旁的斜坡經常淤積堵塞，每逢雨天，就會導致土石滑落，有時甚至大水漫灌直接沖擊路面，嚴重影響臨近一家農戶的豬舍，存在安全隱患，但由于學校缺乏資金，一直未能進行治理。

One day in the late autumn of 2022, XiaoXian sheng came to badong county school wild three at love student endowed paid a return visit, the slope on both sides often blocked, every rainy day, will lead to flooding, sometimes even flood direct impact road, serious impact near a farmer's piggery, safe hidden trouble, but due to the lack of funds, has not been able to manage.

回到家中，一連數日，安全隱患的場景始終在肖顯盛的腦海中徘徊，他的心里總是堵得慌。孩子是祖國的未來，決不能讓安全隱患威脅到孩子們的安全，肖顯盛越想越不是滋味。幾天后，肖顯盛再次來到學校，當即表示愿意為斜坡治理項目提供幫助，消除校園周邊的安全隱患，并對邊坡實施美化綠化工程，將這里打造成一個花園式的學校。

Back home, for several days, the scene of security risks is always wandering in Xiao Xiansheng's mind, his heart is always blocked to panic. Children are the future of the motherland, must not let the safety risks threatened to the safety of children, Xiao Xiansheng more think more not the taste. A few days later, Xiao Xiansheng came to the school again, immediately expressed his willingness to provide help for the slope management project, eliminate the safety risks around the campus, and implement the slope landscaping project, here into a garden-style school.

肖顯盛不僅出資10萬余元用于邊坡治理工程，而且還親自現場勘查、丈量、設計，監督施工質量、催促施工進度、優化施工方案。他說：“要做就做一件流芳百世的大好事。”歷經長達27天的努力，公路邊坡治理及美化綠化工程圓滿竣工。校園外從此筑起了一道“愛的長城”，裝點著校園的美麗，守護著校園的安寧。

Xiao Xiansheng not only invested more than 100,000 yuan for the slope treatment project, but also personally on-site exploration, measurement, design, supervise the construction quality, urged the construction progress, optimize the construction scheme. He said, " If you want to do it, just do a lasting good thing."After 27 days of efforts, the highway slope treatment and landscaping project was successfully completed. Since then, a "Great Wall of love" has been built outside the campus, decorating the beauty of the campus and guarding the peace of the campus.

此后，他走到哪里，好事就做到哪里，道德文明的新風就傳播到哪里。

After that, wherever he goes, good things will be done, and the new trend of moral civilization will spread there.

2022年夏天的某一天，野三關鎮金象坪村大路坡粉業廠附近因多日暴雨積水嚴重，危及廠房，當地黨委政府組織近百人連夜開展應急排險處理，肖顯盛得知后，于半夜為搶險人員送去茶水、方便面及其它食物等物品，價值達5000多元，使得應急工作得以順利開展，在場領導深受感動。

Over the years, Xiao Xiansheng's total public welfare donations have reached more than 500,000 yuan. Thousands of students and people in need of help feel the warmth and care of the society.

面對挫折和困境，肖顯盛從未怨天尤人，而是積極向上、堅韌前行，以堅定的毅力、勤勞的雙手、寬廣的胸懷，憑借超強的信念支撐起一片燦爛的天空。有人問：“肖顯盛，如今的你吃穿不愁、財富或許是我們大多數人一輩子都難以企及的，你完全可以‘逍遙自在’了，為何還要如此拼命呢？”他總是微笑著回答：“黨對我的恩情不能忘、周圍群眾對我的幫助不能忘、家鄉父老對我的期望更不能忘。作為企業家，我有責任，也有義務，做一些力所能及的好事，幫助一些急需幫助的人。讓那些幫助過我、鼓勵過我的人不失望，這也是我對社會最好的回報吧。”

肖顯盛的事跡是一則振奮人心的佳話，充分展現了他對社會的無私奉獻和對他人的深切關懷，他用愛的陽光照亮了孩子們的求學之路，溫暖了更多需要幫助的角落。他的善舉和行動，激勵著更多的人關注和關愛困難群體，傳遞著社會的正能量和祖國的溫暖與希望。

In the face of setbacks and difficulties, Xiao Xiansheng never complained about everything, but positive, tenacious forward, with firm perseverance, hard-working hands, broad mind, with super faith to support a brilliant sky. Someone asked: " Xiao Xiansheng, now you do not worry about food and clothing, wealth may be most of us in a lifetime, you can 'free and easy', why so hard?"He always replied with a smile:" The Party should not forget the kindness to me, the people around me and their help to me, and the expectations of my hometown. As an entrepreneur, I have the responsibility and obligation to do something good within my power and help some people in urgent need. Let those who have helped me, encouraged me are not disappointed, this is also my best return to the society.” Xiao Xiansheng's story is an inspiring story, which fully shows his selfless dedication to the society and deep concern for others. He illuminated the way of children with the sunshine of love, and warms more corners in need of help. His good deeds and actions inspire more people to pay attention to and care for the disadvantaged groups, and convey the positive energy of the society and the warmth and hope of the motherland.
