溫州商人葉建伍16歲就和哥哥姐姐辦廠創業，自產自銷塑料襯里管道和閥門。膽大的他，學著別人去北方推銷產品。但由于很多人不喜歡溫州產品，頭兩趟都接不到生意?；氐綔刂莺?，他開始尋找個中原因，發現杭州武林門一把火燒毀溫州劣質鞋的新聞影響頗深，于是他當下決定，首先做好產品的質量！

Ye Jianwu, a Wenzhou businessman, started to run a plastic-lined pipes and valves factory at the age of 16 with his elder brothers and sister. He was bold enough to go to the north of China to market his products. Yet he had not won much order in the beginning because Wenzhou products were not popular in the north back then. After returning to Wenzhou, he thought about the failure. Inspired by the influential news that Hangzhou Wulinmen burned up poor-quality shoes, he decided to put product quality above all.

廠的主打產品是一種防腐閥門，為了達到防腐效果，葉建伍用了最貴的原始材料。有時，加工出來的產品達不到效果，他寧愿損失數千元，也堅決把瑕疵品報廢掉。

The main product of his factory was a kind of anti-corrosive valve. To make the product anti-corrosive, he used the most expensive raw material. Sometimes, the products failed to meet the requirement. He would suffer a loss of thousands of yuan and scrap the flawed products without hesitation.

產品質量有保障后，葉建伍帶著生產的防腐閥門，再一次前往北方。為了爭取訂單，他找到一家企業，大膽提出讓他們免費使用半年的想法。半年后，他回去找客戶，當場驗證閥門完好如初，得到客戶公司大贊。此后，源源不斷的訂單涌向葉建伍的閥門廠，而這些來自北方的客戶，已經跟他合作了30多年。

With the product quality guaranteed, Ye traveled to the north once again with his anti-corrosive valve. In order to win orders, he got in touch with an enterprise and suggested that the enterprise can use the products for free for half a year. Six months later, he went back to the client and verified at the site that the valve could operate well just like the new ones. Consequently, Ye was recognized by the company. His factory received a continuous flow of orders. The clients from the north cooperated with him for more than thirty years.

溫州人的性格是，走到哪，就把生意做到哪。葉建伍秉承著“誠信、質量優先”的經商理念，在新加坡和西班牙都開創了事業。這些年，他經常國內外兩頭跑，家鄉的變化印在了他的腦海里?！斑@幾年，溫州營商環境全力提升，大建大美讓城市面貌華麗蝶變，溫商回歸到了最好的時機?！比~建伍說。

Wenzhou businessmen take business with them wherever they go. Sticking to the philosophy of “prioritizing integrity and quality”, Ye Jianwu also started business in Singapore and Spain. These years, he frequently traveled between home and abroad. The changes of his hometown Wenzhou impress him. “These years, the business environment of Wenzhou has been fully improved. The urban construction has made the city change significantly. The ‘best times’ for Wenzhou businessmen is here again,” Ye said.

2016年，他被推舉為西班牙華僑華人青年聯合總會會長，接觸了大批歐洲的華人華僑。他發現很多在外溫商有回鄉投資的意愿，但是由于他們長期在國外打拼，對家鄉情況并不了解。對此，葉建伍立刻組織了多批次在外溫商和西班牙商考察中國經濟和營商環境。

In 2016, he was elected President of the Federation of Young Overseas Chinese of Spain and got in touch with many overseas Chinese in Europe. He found that many Wenzhou businessmen abroad have the intention to invest in their hometown. Since they had been away from Wenzhou all the time, they were not quite familiar with the conditions of it. Ye organized several groups of overseas Wenzhou businessmen and Spanish businessmen to learn about the economy and environment of China.

“接下去，我一方面要讓海外溫州人及時知曉家鄉新變化新政策，另一方面要融合僑二代、僑三代資源，把在外溫商請回家鄉，讓他們親眼目睹家鄉變化，尋找投資機遇?！?/span>

“In the future, I will offer Wenzhou compatriots abroad with the freshest information about the changes and policies of Wenzhou. I will also mobilize the resources of the second and third generations of overseas Chinese descendants and encourage them to go back to the hometown to seek investment opportunities.”
