Over-the-top singer Lin Yilun: entrepreneurship in the first year to earn 20 million, even Jay Chou are his tenants

Lin Yilun, many people heard of him, are from his masterpieces "love birds", "through the moon full of flowers", "the ballad of fire" and recognize the mainland male singer.

It's hard to imagine that such a singer from the countryside out, now has been through 20 years of hard work to change into an actor, collector, investor, entrepreneur, anchor and other roles, with a number of titles, from the previous debt to hundreds of millions of dollars in assets.

Some people say he relies on luck, but I think it's more about hard work in the bones.

Lin Yilun, whose original name was Lin Fang, grew up in the rural areas of Hebei. As his parents were involved in the arts, Lin has shown a talent for performing arts since he was a child.

At the age of 15, Lin entered the local art troupe and traveled to grassroots performances, because of these local performances, the conditions are simple and understaffed, the young Lin quickly learned to play the piano in the troupe, dancing, and set up the stage, etc.

At the age of 18, Lin was born and raised in a small town, where he was born.

At the age of 18, when the singing industry was slowly emerging in the mainland, he decided to give up his job in the art troupe and brought his savings to Guangzhou to seek his future.

But the hope is as great as the disappointment. When he came to Guangzhou, he realized that his talent was worthless here, and instead of becoming a shining star, he had to calculate his own meals every day. He managed to get a job as a resident singer in a Guangzhou cabaret, but suddenly realized that this kind of life is not what he wanted.

After two years in Guangzhou, Lin Yilun was encouraged by his friends to go abroad. The foreign countries at that time, but a lot of people make money paradise ah. I think it's a good idea to get your own license in order to make sure you don't starve to death in a foreign country," he said.

Filled with the hope and ideal of panning for gold, Lin came to Bolivia, a small country in South America. Originally, I thought that my friend's mouth is full of gold, and I really realized that it's still a good place to be at home. In order to survive, Lin Yilun once again lowered his voice to a local Chinese restaurant to do chopping board labor to earn a living.

At first, Lin was not treated well by the boss there and was often scolded by the boss. Although his mind often flashes to the idea that he should quit, but the hardship of a foreign country has forced him to return to reality.

But the good thing is that after two months, Lin got to know the Chinese in the restaurant very well. They not only became each other's friends, but also each other's teachers.

During a karaoke session, they were surprised to find that Lin had excellent singing skills. They all suggested to Lin Yilun "chef this you learned is not lost, but singing this is to eat the youth meal"

Thinking about it, Lin Yilun also do not want to be like this half of the life of the muddle to go on, or want to sing, stand on the stage.

Back in China, Lin Yilun is still singing in the dance halls to make a living without connections.

It's also possible that he caught up with the rise of Chinese music in the 1990s, and with his first album, "Love Bird," Lin hit the ground running. At the age of 23 years old, he was a big hit, and at that time, Mao Ning, Yang Yuying was famous.

How hot was he at that time? On the Spring Festival Gala he was on more than ten times, has won many music awards, not only singing great, and hosting, acting is also now learning. But unlike other stars, Lin Yilun is very crisis-conscious, after all, many years of hard work told himself, eggs can not be put in a box.

So he was no longer willing to just be a star, and began to dabble in a variety of industries to try to cross the line. First of all, of course, he is the most familiar field to start with. 2006, he began to serve as the "Daily Diet" column host, every Monday to Friday for the recording of the show, in the show he did hundreds of dishes, not only the color looks good key is also healthy and nutritious. Through this program many people know his identity as a chef, his personal publication of the book "Lin family food store" two books, has sold over ten million copies of the good results.

Even Lin Yilun in the "Wild Kitchen" was asked by Wang Han meal friends, he said that many artists in the entertainment circle to go to his home to eat have to make an appointment, Na Ying, Wang Zhonglei and other people also because of his dishes to become his guests and friends.

It is also because many people praise Lin's cooking, Lin decided to start a business, this will be made into a career. 2014, he and his friends set up their own brand of hot sauce, from raw materials to processing and then to production, Lin layer by layer check, and ultimately in the product on-line day, a one-time sold more than 20,000 bottles, the first year sold more than 20 million.

In addition, cooking first-class Lin Yilun in the investment world is also a good hand. As early as in the early days of fame, he aimed at real estate. In the early nineties, Beijing CBD section of the house price is only more than 9000 a flat, thinking of their own pocket just because the album earned a lot of money, he brain with the savings to buy two buildings. One is a residential building and the other is an office building.

In others say he is over the singer, people have long been 10,000 square feet price once rented to Zhou Penchang residential, but also rented to Jay Chou ten years.

Of course, you think his assets stop here, it is clear that far more than this. After all, once when his son was on Metamorphosis, he said the poorest place he'd ever been was Guangzhou.

In Lin Yilun's 500 square feet villa, not only the collection of Zeng Fanzhi's painting "The Last Supper", Pan Dehai "Family Portrait", Zhou Tiehai's "Camel in the Sunset", Liu Ye's "Mozart" and other famous paintings, randomly come up with a piece of masterpieces, not to mention the other expensive furniture in his home.

Over the years, many people have forgotten that Lin Yilun is a singer, and many people think of him as more of a crossover of those identities. Lin Yilun once said, " security this three words for me, has been non-existent.
