[Global Network Comprehensive Report] According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency" report on April 1, Gao Qingyuan, the founder of Taiwan Unification Group, passed away on April 1 at the age of 88. Gao Qing wished his father to die young. He became a child laborer at the age of 13. He started as a textile apprentice. He bid farewell to Tainan Textile at the age of 38. He founded Uni-President Enterprise in 1967. The business philosophy of "three good and one fair" he advocated is still missed by consumers. According to
data, Gao Qingyuan was born in Tainan on May 24, 1929. He graduated from elementary school and later received an honorary doctorate in law from Lincoln University in the United States and an honorary doctorate in management from "National Sun Yat-sen University".

HD is willing to make the greatest contribution to Taiwan, which is to transform Taiwan's economy by replacing imports. Back then, he started his business as a textile company without any experience in food manufacturing. In order not to compete with his old employer, Tainan Textiles, Gao Qing wished to enter the food industry by chance, starting with flour and feed that were almost entirely imported at that time; on July 1, 1967, Gao Qing wished Formally established Uni-President Enterprise. At the beginning of the establishment of
Uni-President Enterprise, the capital was NT$32 million. Gao Qingyuan's business philosophy is very simple, which is what his master Wu Xiuqi often said "three good and one fair". "Three good" means good service, good credit and good quality, and "one fair" means fair price.
HD Wish once said that in the first 10 years since the establishment of Uni-President, it was a manufacturing-oriented enterprise, and once the products were made, they would definitely be sold. But in the second 10 years, he found that the product is good, but it may not be sold. At that time, during a European inspection trip, a Frenchman said: "The most important thing in the future is who can master the access, and whoever will be the final winner." That sentence gave Gao Qingyuan an enlightening understanding. After returning to Taiwan, HD Wishing to start incubating the seedlings of the distribution industry, and the 7-11 convenience store that changed the life style of Taiwanese was born.
The belief that "poverty teaches me to cherish blessings, growth teaches me to be grateful, and responsibility teaches me to be selfless and pioneering" is not only the personal life experience of HD wishes, but also subtly influences the thinking tolerance of every unified person.
高清 Wish’s “creative ability” has created his achievements in this life. Lin Cangsheng, the former president of Uni-President Group, once said, “His pleasure is in creating a business, not in owning it.” Just like the observation of Konosuke Matsushita, the Japanese god of management, "He was a businessman in the first 10 years of reunification, an entrepreneur in the second 10 years, and a religious man in the third 10 years. What kind of career can be achieved.” Today, the services provided by the Uni-President Group he built are ubiquitous and change the lives of Taiwanese.
