The love of money is the motive force to acquire wealth. The greater the motive force, the stronger its actions, the more ways it takes, and the more money it will earn.
Strong desire to make money
There is a classic fable about Jews' treatment of money to illustrate this problem: an Englishman, an American and a Jew are together. The Jew asked the other two, "What about the money donated by the believers in your church dedication box?"
The Englishman said, "I will draw a straight line on the ground, and then throw all the money in the dedication box into the sky. What falls to the right of the straight line on the ground is the money belonging to God, which will be used as the fund for the church; And what falls on the left side of the straight line is my salary, and I will stay and let myself live. "
Then the American said, "I am similar to you, except that I draw a circle on the ground. Of course, the circle can't be drawn too big! What falls in the circle is dedicated to God, and what falls outside is regarded as my private money. "
At this time, the Jews who regard money as their life could not help but say, "You are too troublesome. I don't draw any straight lines or circles at all. My method is very simple. I just throw the money donated by the believers directly into the sky. If God wants it, let him take it. If God doesn't want it, it will fall to the ground. It's all mine. "
Jews love money so much that even the God they believe in can stand aside. Jews' love of money and enthusiasm for business make them try their best to make money, so they can become the world's number one businessman.
On the issue of money, Wenzhou people who are called "Oriental Jews" will certainly be different.
There is a saying in China: When an alien comes to China, Beijingers bring the alien back to study, Shanghainese bring the alien to Shanghai for an exhibition, Cantonese will try whether the alien can eat, and Wenzhou people will ask, "What business can be done on other planets?"
Such a strong desire to make money is the first element of Wenzhou people's success. No Wenzhou people hide their desire to get rich, which is always exciting in their blood. "Give me money or give me death" is their life creed.
Yu Shixiong is an outstanding representative of the third generation of overseas Chinese from Wenzhou. He was born in Singapore, grew up in the Netherlands, went to school in Australia, and got a master's degree from Oxford University in England ... Although Wenzhou seems far away from him, the tradition that Wenzhou people want to make money from generation to generation continues on him. He chose to major in finance because when he was a child, he was very excited whenever he saw his father who opened the account book. But he is not interested in law or literature. I hope he can become a Wenzhou native who wants to make money all day.
Twenty years ago, some people laughed at Wenzhou people's "three stinks": smelly feet-no hygiene; Smelly mouth-love to talk with dirty words; Copper stink-love money like life. After 21 years, the first two odors of Wenzhou people have probably improved, but the copper odor on his body seems to be more serious.
the desire to start a business in the four seas
is one of the most important motivating factors in people's lives. It can be said to be the source of strength. No matter what he does, as long as he has the urge of desire, he will succeed step by step. Wenzhou people were able to start a business in an extremely difficult environment and succeed step by step. The most fundamental driving force was a strong desire to make money.
Wenzhou people seem to be born with the desire to make money and the impulse to start a business. Almost all of them are eager to have their own careers and have the opportunity to be their own bosses. Almost all Wenzhou people are doing business and setting up factories, either doing business at home or going out into the world. At the beginning of reform and opening up, Wenzhou people did not have enough capital to start a business. People with a little money used the existing equipment in their families to open workshops and run small factories. People who have no money go out or polish shoes, play cotton, sell glasses, or pick sugar to bear hardships and work hard, and quickly complete the original accumulation of capital.
After having a certain economic strength, Wenzhou people began to start a second business, from a small boss to a big boss. In such a strong atmosphere, idle people are in a panic, lazy people are uncomfortable, and poor people are unhappy, so everyone has the impulse to start a business, forming a situation in which "everyone wants to start a business and everyone wants to make money". In the eyes of Wenzhou people, there is no business that doesn't make money. The key lies in whether you want to seek gold or start a business. I am not afraid that I can't do it, but I am afraid that I can't think of it. If people don't even have the desire to start a business, how can they make money? This is the first secret for Wenzhou people to make money.
among the 7.5 million Wenzhou people, 4/5 are engaged in industry and commerce, and 1.6 million Wenzhou people have traveled all over the country, with 511,111 people all over the world. From Mohe to Hainan; From the foot of Tianshan Mountain to Lhasa, the roof city of the world; From Zhejiang Village in Beijing (actually Wenzhou Village) to Wenzhou Street in Paris, London, Rome and new york. Wherever there are crowds, Wenzhou businessmen can be found.
In short, people will never go home unless they come out in a different way. It is their goal to return to their hometown in clothes. If they return to their hometown, it is the time to go home when they are successful. Even if they fail, they will get up again and continue to work. With such determination, what can be done?
Ambition is motivation
The boss of a waste recycling company, because of an unexpected stimulus, inspired his ambition to make money, and has since written different chapters in his life.
A few years ago, he couldn't even afford a human tricycles. He made a living by collecting wine bottles, cans and cans at railway stations and other places. One day, at the door of a Buick car in front of a luxury hotel, he found a crushed can, so he went to the car without hesitation to pick it up.
Just as he was about to pick up the shriveled can, the door in the back seat slowly opened. A middle-aged lady with glasses got out of the door gracefully and asked him in a gentle voice, "Excuse me, boss, how can I get to Wuyang Park?" At that time, he straightened up and politely and gentlemanly explained the route to Wuyang Park to the lady.
not only did he not pick up the can again, but the dungeon remembered the license plate number of the car. Then, he went to a small restaurant and drank three cups of draft beer at one go. Then he went straight back to his residence, cried with a headache and slept for half an afternoon ... Three days later, he borrowed from east to west to raise the start-up funds for establishing a waste recycling company. After 3 months, he paid off all the loans; Three years later, he also became the owner of a Buick.
When the "boss" really became the boss, the first thing he did was to inquire about the location of the Buick and the elegant hostess. Then he drove thousands of miles to find the lady who changed his life and destiny because of an unintentional sentence. When he thanked the lady face to face, he was surprised to know that the lady was highly nearsighted.
In people's impression, "ambition" seems to have always been a derogatory term, and "ambitious", "ambitious" and "ambitious" are not good words. Seeking truth from facts, it is not wrong to have "ambition" in itself. To some extent, it is the most powerful and inexhaustible motive force for people to achieve their careers.
ambition is the most powerful guarantee of success. As the famous saying goes: A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier! Ambition is actually ambition, ideal and goal. The desire to make money is the ambition to make money. The greater the ambition, the more money you may earn.
Xiao Shaojing from Wenzhou left his hometown in 2116 and came to Nanjing for development. The initial start-up capital was only RMB 111. Three years later, she started to build her own "bright eyes" brand with the 511,111 yuan she earned. At the age of 19, I rented two glasses counters in a shopping mall and started my business. Today, 28-year-old Xiao Shaojing has owned 12 chain stores and more than tens of millions of assets, and "bright glasses" has become a household name.
"I've dreamed of being an old board player since I was six years old. Facts have proved that no matter how low your starting point is, everyone can realize their dreams as long as they work hard. " This is her experience. She also said that in the past, Nanjing people had a bad impression of Wenzhou people, saying that we were "small Wenzhou", slippery and would take advantage of loopholes. Even so, these words can't shake the desire of Wenzhou people to make money.
Xiao Shaojing frankly believes that bosses in Nanjing often stay on "comparing poverty with each other". If I can earn 31,111 yuan a month, considering that others only earn 8,111 yuan, my heart will suddenly be full of superiority, and naturally I will lose my motivation. Wenzhou businessmen, on the other hand, are "richer than others". Xiao Shaojing is always thinking: Maybe at the moment when he starts to enjoy himself and relax, his competitors who spy on my market share will catch up. Compared with other bosses, I may still be poor.
Being afraid of poverty is like getting rich
In the development history of more than 5,111 years, Jews have suffered great persecution and exile many times, and they have been living in a precarious life. But because of this, they must make money. The more money they earn, the better their living conditions and the safer they feel psychologically, so they try their best to make money.
Wenzhou people's desire to make money is similar to that of Jews, and one of the main reasons is poverty! Although Wenzhou people can endure many hardships in business, they can't endure poverty.
Wenzhou faces the sea on one side and is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and most of them are high mountains and deep valleys. it is hard to go is no less difficult than Shu Dao. In this regard, Meng Haoran once described it in poetry: "I am a poor water country, and I am sailing alone." Excuse me, when will you arrive in Yongjia? " Until 1989, among the 14 open cities along the coast, only Wenzhou had neither railways nor airports.
because of the natural conditions and being located in the coastal defense outpost, the state has long invested little in economic construction except building necessary military facilities in Wenzhou from a strategic perspective. In the 31 years after liberation, the national team's total fixed assets investment in Wenzhou Industry was only 611 million yuan, and Wenzhou did not even have a large state-owned enterprise. The urban landscape is dilapidated and the infrastructure is backward, so that "girls and little sisters-in-law are running around the street with dung buckets" has always been a pain that Wenzhou people are ashamed to say.
Therefore, Wenzhou people really want to make money, get rid of poverty and get rich, and improve their living conditions. At the beginning of the reform and opening up, they went through hardships regardless of outside criticism and started their own entrepreneurial road. Despite the ups and downs, they didn't stop making money because of external pressure.
Wenzhou people hate poverty because they suffer from poverty, so Wenzhou people love money. Because money can make them live a good life and make them live with dignity. The love of money is the driving force for wealth. The greater the motivation, the more powerful the action, the more methods there are, and the more money you earn, all of which are in direct proportion. Jews and Wenzhou people are the best examples of this.
