Is it possible to be antisocial and successful? Interview with Evgeny Chichvarkin
Inspiration / / December 26, 2019
Chichvarkin Eugene - creator of "Euroset"In Russia, and then Hedonism Wines in the UK - the person is very interesting and extraordinary. Eugene began to trade on the market, and later switched to mobile phones and built a huge empire.
Evgeny times "Euroset" was remembered as an extremely demanding leader. In its interior could be fired for everything: for the queue near the cash registers, behind the empty shelves, with the smell of the employee. He did everything possible to make the customer happy, and led a very aggressive market expansion.
When you read a book Max Kotin of Chichvarkin, It seems that Chichvarkin screwball, a man fixated on trade and money. But interview with him completely change this view.
I wake up more often at 7:40 and drink four servings of the juice of wheat grass. This is not because of the health benefits, I do not do your health, but that's just drink.
Then I take the child to school, I go to learn English (approx. Ed.: Eugene evaluate your level of English as insufficient).
Usually once or twice a week I play polo. Can not say that I have a job and I'm working. I just spend time in the office or shop. I work three to four hours a day. More generally I held various meetings during the day. Sometimes I buy something, then to cook dinner.
I have so little work as I do not have my role in the company.
Now I read "Anna Karenina."
About me we can not say that I live in a free day today. But I especially do not plan to.
There are, for example, the dream to go back to Russia, but other authorities. Alone, I can not change anything, but when I feel the ability to influence, I will do my best.
I even already bought a t-shirt, there is drawn a crow over the glass and the inscription «Waiting for revolution».
I was successful, as the first elementary wanted to earn a lot of money. Then he worked out that there are boys - the spirit of rivalry and competition. I wanted to be the best. For a while I was competing with "The Messenger," with other competitors. I negotiated with suppliers.
Now there is a new business competition.
We chose nadrynochnuyu niche. We made the best store in the world. We had originally planned it as the best. Now we are constantly improving it, as the movement towards perfection is infinite.
on asociality
I am very anti-social person.
- I do not like formal cards, gifts in the form of brandy. For example, when it comes to some sort of gift, I feel obligated. But something in return do not want to do. I just know that I did not answer, so it's frustrating me. I give gifts to loved ones only.
- I do not answer emails. More precisely, I am just learning to respond to them. That's still half a year ago I would have said you do not, and now, you see, answered.
- I travel with a driver. It's hard to keep track of all of these radars, it drives me to stress, so I prefer to pay the driver.
- I do not care what most people think. Previously, when there was "Euroset", I had to reckon with the opinion of the client. Now, I do not care what people think about me.
- I have nothing to prove to anyone not necessary.
About dreams
My dream - to build a tourist village, to add art, ekspiriensa. Something like Mandrogi. But to reduce streaming.
This is the place where you can spend on a weekend to a whole summer. A place where both the country's leaders can meet people of other countries, and may be held presentation of "Bentley" on batteries. There are singing, folk festivals. There are master classes, both in Mandrogi, swimming pools and villas in Emirates, wine list, both in our store.
There's at all levels feel positive. Everything in the national-historical context. About how farm Pan Savka near Kiev. The same is, near Riga, in Georgia there are "Chateau Mere".
Of course, everything around is full of developments (shopping centers, amusement parks, hotels, and so on).
I now live that dream. But her anywhere but in my country, I can not be realized.
