Ancient Chinese merchants are also like this, verbally a promise, even if the contract is made, there is no need for any contract, look at Da Shengkui and many sea merchants, you will know that there is no exception, all such a promise.

Hoarding the common people in the strange pit is at your own leisure, and it doesn't matter who you rob at sea. But the promise of the merchant is a contract when he says it, and the Arabs are all dead, and the descendants come to find it, and the promise is still valid, and it is not ignorant of you at all.

What do overseas businessmen receive, as soon as the trade winds come, you will go, and the next time the sea ship arrives, the goods will be ready for you early, that is, use your own capital to believe in your promise to prepare goods for you, no deposit, just say it verbally.

The raw silk bristles purchased by foreign foreign companies are messy, and foreigners say that they don't need a contract, and Chinese businessmen just implement verbal contracts, and even official businessman Hu Xueyan would rather break his family than break his promise.

The Song Dynasty bought and bought businessmen, but the old Zhao family clan was in business, and they still made a promise. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty have never heard a merchant talk about his debts. Qing Eight Banners stake land, but the Eight Banners are in business, and they still promise a thousand gold, and the prince is no exception.

The Beiyang warlords robbed the common people for nothing, but if they fell into the water and died in business, they should pay as much as they wanted, and they did not bully people at all, and they still made a promise.

No matter how big an official or a big clan is, as long as he opens a shop at home to do business, he is also a promise, and if he mistreats each other again, he will not break his promise, and there is no record of breaking his promise even as a salt merchant who has been a fat pig and squeezed oil in various dynasties and generations.

For example, the Ming Dynasty and the Jin merchants engaged in the international trade of bulk iron and grain, and the Mongol tribes sold them when they gave money to the Qing Dynasty, and they would smuggle and become pirates, but they did not fail to abide by the contract.

Even if the half-businessman and half-bandit did not break the promise, the insurance team started by Zhang Zuolin is a security business, with a good reputation, and he has been insured by the robbed people. Zheng Zhilong's selling of flags at sea also abides by credibility, and he will also pay for the robbery of his flag ship if you hit his flag, and there is no saying that he is bullying people and repaying debts.

Robbery is robbery, business is business, and in ancient China, even collecting a protection fee was a real compensation for losses, and it was not bad at all.

Comparing the lofty morality, the ancient Chinese businessmen had many shortcomings, but according to the capitalist one, the ancient Chinese businessmen were world-class models, and they did not respect the spirit of contract, which was already a tradition, a habit and a belief.

In Chinese history, I can't find a few businessmen who don't count, and even the idiom of a thousand words is set up by businessman Lü Buwei's "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", the business reputation of ancient China is so powerful, and the spirit of contract Chinese businessmen have abided by it for thousands of years, and it is something engraved in the bones.

After the reform and opening up, it was because there was no inheritance of the new business, and the wild road was born, and it was just a small mess for a while. But this spirit will always return in China, and it will return soon.

Because this is the tradition of Chinese businessmen, not at all Western, overseas Chinese do not do business with the same promise, Nanyang lending, as long as you are Chinese, you have a dollar, you can take ten yuan to do business, many Hong Kong and Taiwan's new wealthy, are Nanyang old money to hold up, Chinese businessmen have always been the reputation of the supremacy, has never changed.

This is the potential of Chinese businessmen, which has not been released, this is open source. Receiving gifts or not receiving gifts is throttling.

You can't always focus on throttling, adding blockages, it's not easy to solve, and you have time to think more about open source.

In the history of China, all the changes such as the Qingli New Deal and the rectification of flag affairs have not been successful, and it is also the Qingli compilation of the open source of the Haili City and the fact that it has been brought down, the open source of a whip law has been brought down, the open source of the land has been brought down, and the reform of the tax system and the sale of land by the local finance have also been brought down.

You try to reduce the budget a little, try to cut the establishment, it's hard to die. It's easy to get money, and it's hard to die if you save some money. It's easy to add people, but it's hard to die when you subtract people.

People have a room and a tea stall job, and want to take the stall job? Hard to die! It's a fight to the death. But fooling this person into building another room, a tea stall, and a part-time errand at a post station, this is easy to do, and it is a matter of more effort.

The key is to have confidence in yourself, don't pinch yourself, it's boring, the potential of Chinese businessmen is here, if you dare to loosen the binding, it can win the whole world. Europe has only been doing business for a few days, and the Arabs have been engaged in intermediary trade for thousands of years, and the Arabs are still very strong in the intermediary merchant industry in later generations.

The tradition is there, Chinese businessmen are not afraid of any foreign businessmen, no matter what nationality you are, no matter what race you are, it just hasn't been loosened yet, you have to have confidence in yourself.

Is Western democracy clean? It's just going to receive gifts. It is difficult to fight corruption, and it is not easy to get this, and sooner or later the East will also integrate this set.

The difficulty in fighting corruption lies in the fact that this is to cure the greed in human nature, you oppose official collection, and as a result, you become an official and you accept it, and you oppose eating and drinking at public expense, and as a result, you have the opportunity to eat and drink at public expense, so what's going on.

Folk courtesies are still exchanged, and they all follow the participants in a red and white affair, and don't people spend money to do things? As a result, it is also very difficult to pick up the habit of courtesy and exchange in the officialdom.

In later generations, some areas in the south have refused to accept red and white affairs, and this is a good change, and they have begun to change customs, just like the treatment of corruption in the officialdom.

But this disease is the same as diabetes, it is difficult to suppress human nature, people are animals, it has nothing to do with officials or not, the boss still wants to use his position to dive into Xiaomi, it has animal nature, and you have to think slowly about it.

Hong Kong's cost of maintaining incorruptibility, the high welfare of Northern Europe, China can't afford it, to raise the treatment of civil servants to the level of Northern Europe and Hong Kong, the people want to blow up, can't afford to pay the cost of satisfying their desires, they have to think of other ways, slowly run in, it's useless to break through, you are still greedy for you.

I'm not used to others looking for acquaintances to go through the back door, and when it's my turn to do things, I first want to have an acquaintance at the back door, what's the use, isn't it just a change of people? It is necessary to understand that civil servants come from among the common people, not from aliens, and this is the atmosphere of the whole society, not just the atmosphere of officialdom.

To put it mildly, national utilitarianism is good for economic development, there are pros and cons, whether it is officials or ordinary people, it is greedy for the benefits of greed, that is to ask for something, strong desire will produce action, the common people will play hard to earn money, officials will play hard to make political achievements, take this desire nerve, it is greedy or not, it will earn wages, but what about playing bureaucracy for you?

It's all according to the process, no one dares to make a decision, because you don't allow it to try and make mistakes, it doesn't dare to be responsible, and the result is all about not seeking merit but seeking no fault, what is your problem? Just play the program, go through the process, respect the law and abide by the law, have nothing to rest, play football and play something, who to do things? I don't know! Who has the final say? I don't know! Do you want to do something? No way, no one can afford to be responsible!

Democracies have this virtue, honesty is in accordance with the regulations, to abide by a lot of procedures, one reading, two trials, three reviews, and then a democratic discussion, a bridge for you to repair for ten years piers have not been poured, this is not counting the specific discussion time of whether to build a bridge.

There are pros and cons to playing this set of things, it depends on the balance.

After the first 30 years of reform and opening up are removed, the society will not go towards democracy alone, the inertia of tradition will produce the call of history, pull the self-civilization to the root, some characteristics of Chinese civilization will return, one side to the tradition and the other to the modern, absolutely not single to one side, you have to believe in the strong suction force of the core of Chinese civilization.

The core of Chinese civilization is not a superficial rule system, not a morality, it is a top-level structure of the worldview, Chinese civilization is a culture of water, is a methodology of looking at things from both sides of yin and yang, not Western boxing, you punch me, not I am the enemy, either good or good, bad is bad.

The characteristics of China's water, this kind of flexibility, is not bad, on the contrary, the great unification is to freeze the water into ice, and after the reform and opening up, the ice began to thaw again, if you believe in the kind of Western-style view of the Chinese style of flexibility, the kind of cutting in line, not according to the rules and regulations, then you are underestimating the Chinese civilization, that is only to see the surface.

Animal nature is not only Chinese, the funniest scene in the future has been opened in American universities, Chinese students and parents brought the domestic set into the American campus, give a gift to eat, good words open their mouths, American professors are flattered, the impression of Chinese students is very good.

Don't think that Lao Mei has no animal nature, Lao Mei also sends a small gift to carry a bottle of wine or something, foreigners also love unspoken rules, some developed countries in the West are limited by regulations, not that they don't like this, it can't move, the Chinese help it move. This is not a phenomenon, this is a methodology, this is the Chinese civilization devouring the Western civilization, devouring the local civilization, don't underestimate this thing.

No matter how good you play Western boxing, take the American set to deal with the Americans, not the seedlings that grow from the soil, it is even more difficult, the tiger is not an anti-dog, and then act according to the standards of the locals after integration, you have to pay double the effort and cost, and the individual will worship the lighthouse and take the initiative to stick it up. Businessmen calculate the cost and talk about the pros and cons, so they will not do this.

Take the United States as an example, it sent and received letters printed very early, a transparent piece of paper can see the contents of the contents, the mailroom is basically thrown away at a glance, not dismantled, all kinds of letters and sales are too much, and then shredded and become garbage.

In order to find a job, the black buddy will give a white name, what David Jack Michael, at least you can't tell the ethnicity on the cover letter, but the effect is like that.

The same is true for the Chinese, you make an English name and then slip away, you submit a letter, submit a script to a Hollywood film company, people just throw it away, don't read it.
