Chapter Ninety-Five: The Book of Business
Poverty is often seen as the driving force behind and the path to prosperity.
But this concept is actually one-sided, or the focus of the expression is wrong.
Being poor does not completely make people want to get rich.
Take Zhang Shihui as an example, like him, he can have three small rooms and a free life with a salary of more than 60 yuan a month.
Among the grassroots class in the capital, he is already excellent, and he can even be regarded as a new generation of nobles.
Life is far more embarrassing than him, and there are thousands of families who are more burdened than his financial conditions.
This is still in the cities, not to mention the vast rural areas and remote mountainous areas.
So this creates a puzzling phenomenon.
There are so many poor people, so many poor families.
You should be eager to seize the opportunity given by the times and become a rich man.
But why isn't that the case?
Why is it that under the same tide of the times, there are so few people who can really become rich?
Why would Zhang Shihui have the courage to take this step than those who are poorer than him?
From this point of view, it is obvious that there is a lack of life logic to desperately get rich because of poverty.
The truth is that the real motivation for getting rich comes from the awakening of the individual's own value orientation.
Our people can be said to be used to being poor, and the common people are not afraid of poverty, as long as they don't starve to death, they just endure it.
No matter how poor you are, you will use your wife and children to warm the kang head, play cards and chess, and chat, these are the same joys as the others, and reach the spiritual balance point of chatting.
Most of us are really easy to satisfy.
When the nest on the table turns into white flour steamed buns, the large pickled radish becomes scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts.
I often marvel at the nourishment of life with satisfaction.
To put it bluntly, although everyone is willing to live a good life, they are not willing to bear big setbacks and let their lives experience big fluctuations.
There are only a few, a few people who can awaken to their self-worth and ambition.
In order to not be afraid of strong winds and waves, we can persist in going from one extreme to another.
Such a person will not be slumped in the pursuit of wealth when he encounters setbacks.
On the contrary, they will be more energetic, more courageous to shape themselves, and perseverance to achieve their wishes.
Ning Weimin was willing to give him guidance because he felt that Zhang Shihui showed such characteristics.
This is both because businessmen and businessmen are inherently close as if they were related by blood.
It is also because of the affinity of interests between businessmen.
People like them are not easy to meet in this year, and if they are willing, of course, there is an opportunity for mutually beneficial cooperation.
Ning Weimin actually needs a partner like Zhang Shihui who is close and knows better.
Of course, for him, Zhang Shihui's flaws are equally obvious.
This kid is too young, although he has the determination and courage to pursue wealth.
But the vision and experience of a businessman is still lacking.
Especially in the first flutter in the business sea, he behaved quite naΓ―ve and reckless.
But he only blamed luck on the reason for his choking.
Still far from realizing how much it takes to be a businessman.
You know, there is a popular folk proverb in our country, which is called "You can learn a craftsman in three years, but you can't learn a businessman in ten years".
There is also a saying, "Those with first-class IQ are engaged in business, those with second-class IQ are engaged in politics, and those with third-class IQ are engaged in literature."
Although these words are subjective and one-sided, or there are differences in the perspective of looking at the problem.
But at least it shows that doing business is not as easy as people think.
In fact, let's not talk about how difficult it was for Ning Weimin to mix up in the mall in his previous life.
It is this well-known era of doing business, an era full of opportunities to create countless wealth.
There aren't many people who can really make a career out of the mall.
If anyone doesn't believe in it, they can look at a set of data.
According to relevant records, in 1980, there were about 50,000 individual businesses engaged in self-employment in Beijing.
By 1992, only 20% of these people had actually become big money.
Another two out of ten people have even changed careers for various reasons.
Just like the two failures experienced by Zhang Shihui, they are both accidental and inevitable.
It can be seen that not all people who have a head to drink soup have the ability to hold this bowl of hot soup and drink it safely.
The first person who wants to eat crabs is also likely to be caught by the crab and be afraid of it from then on.
Therefore, it is very necessary and willing for Ning Weimin to explain the general situation to Zhang Shihui clearly.
In case he suffers another big loss on this road.
On this night, when there was no one to be seen, behind the counter at the front desk of the Chongwenmen Hotel.
After eating, Ning Weimin and Zhang Shihui both made a cup of tea, guarded a large pot of boiling water and two packs of cigarettes that were only half left.
There was also a pack of "weird beans" that relieved their boredom, which came from the remnants of Ning Weimin's patting the sycophants of his female colleagues.
This thing is still a new food in the capital, and it is quite fashionable.
It was Ning Weimin who just bought it in the mouth of the fresh fish, and the old name "Tong Sanyi" with the brand of "Qiujiang Food Store" was still hung.
It is precisely because of this that Sister Liu, who is currently a temporary partner with Zhang Shihui, happily took two packs of these things and went to the logistics department to chat with acquaintances in the laundry room.
really gave the front desk this place to these two money strings to discuss business.
To say that Ning Weimin's eloquence and the things in his stomach are not in vain.
At first glance, not only did he make a whole "Hundred Lectures", but Zhang Shihui was shocked.
And what he said is indeed something to say, to the point, I really can't help but be unconvinced.
β...... Let me tell you, this is to do a good job and make money. It's not like you think, you can't just hit the luck. Some people attribute the conditions of doing business to the combination of shrewdness and opportunity, which is too simple. β
"Because the Tao in this is too deep. It is by no means something that can be explained by a single person in a few words. And I think the key is to know yourself clearly. β
"For example, if you look at a well-known painter or a writer, if you see someone with good works, you have to ask him the secret of his success. People can only smile calmly. β
"Of course, maybe he can tell you one, two, three, four. But even if it's all the truth, you have to do what he says, and make sure you go the wrong way. β
"Why? It's because where everyone's own conditions are. What kind of embryo you are, what kind of material you can become, this is non-negotiable. Qiangnu, you can only find guilt for yourself. β
"In the same way, if we want to do business, we also have to find projects and ways that suit us in order to get twice the result with half the effort. Otherwise, it's easy to go wrong. Or there is a jargon that says it's better to be cooked than raw. That's it. β
"You, the reason why you lost money is that you first suffered this loss. β
