Chapter 210: Entering the Game (2)
Harvey, who has been wandering the streets for a month. McKay, now standing in a carpeted, gold-decorated office, not only had a job in an instant, but also worked in a "gold mine". The so-called "gold mine" refers to the unit with the best salary and benefits. It's not just a job, it's a career. Harvey. In the process of working in Pinyuan Envelope Company, McKay is familiar with the process of operating the envelope industry, understands the operation mode, learns the skills of sales, and accumulates a large number of network resources. These connections became Harvey. Mackay is the key to a successful career. Forty-two years later, Harvey. Mackay became the owner of the nation's most famous envelope company, the Mackay Envelope Company. "Thank you Ward, it's the work he's given me and he's the one who created my career," he said. "Of course, that's exactly what Harvey is. Mackay used his network to get a good opportunity.
Wu Yuhua, chairman and general manager of Tianhai Weishun Kangle Sports Consulting Co., Ltd., bluntly said that he has two or three thousand friends, and more than 1,500 of them meet three or four times a year, and there are three or four hundred people who are often in contact. At present, Wu Yuhua's personal assets have exceeded 8 figures. Wu Yuhua said that his career is so smooth because of the "care" of friends in the circle, "including opening a company, introducing and recommending customers and business, etc., all kinds of friends will take care of me, and any business will immediately think of me." ”
On the recommendation of a friend, from 1999 to 2000, Wu Yuhua began to get involved in the real estate industry. At that time, the real estate market in Shanghai was very hot, and many real estate projects were queuing up to buy a house, and sometimes even if they were queuing, they might not be able to buy a house. Wu Yuhua not only bought a house through a friend, but also discounted it.
At the best time, Wu Yuhua had more than a dozen properties in his hands. In 2004, the government began to impose restrictions on the property sector. Wu followed his friend's advice and realized the property in time. The benefits are huge.
The number of opportunities for success is almost directly proportional to the size of their communicative skills and range of activities. Therefore, we should link the use of circles with the opportunity to succeed. Give full play to your communicative skills and constantly build and expand your circle. Discover and seize rare development opportunities, and then embrace success!
Circles are made up of many different people, and the more people you know, the bigger your circle is, the faster the information is updated, and the more extensive and accurate the information you have. In this era of advanced information, whoever has accurate and abundant information will have greater opportunities for development. So where does the information come from? The circle is the place where information is transmitted and the platform for career development.
The importance of information is particularly evident in the stock market and the stock market. People who are successful in the stock market are good at using their social circles to gather information. In 1815, when the European bond market was in turmoil with the Battle of Waterloo, Nathan, the son of Rothschild, staged an unprecedented scene on the stock exchange. Because Nathan was a pivotal figure in the exchange, and he used to lean against a pillar in the hall when trading, everyone called this pillar "Rothschild's Column". Now people are watching the "Rothschild Pillar" move.
Just yesterday, Britain and France fought the Battle of Waterloo, which was a matter of fate for both countries. If Britain wins, there is no doubt that the British government's public debt will skyrocket. Otherwise, it will plummet.
Therefore, every investor in the exchange is anxiously waiting for news on the battlefield, as long as they can know one step ahead of others, even if it is half an hour or ten minutes. You can take the opportunity to make a big profit.
The fighting took place south of the Belgian capital, Brussels, far from London.
Because there was neither radio nor railroad at that time. Except for the use of steamboats in some places, it is generally carried by fast horses. And in several battles before the Battle of Waterloo. Britain was defeated, so there was little hope of a British victory. Then. Nathan leaned on the "Rothschild's Pillar" with a blank face and began to sell British bonds. The news of "Nathan sold" immediately spread throughout the exchange, so everyone followed up without hesitation, and in an instant, British government bonds plummeted, and Nathan continued to sell expressionlessly.
Just when the price of government bonds fell no longer, Nathan suddenly began to buy in large quantities. People on the exchange are confused, what's going on? What tricks is Nathan playing? The followers were immediately confused, and they exchanged heads and ears, and at this time, the official announcement of the British army's victory was announced.
There was another turmoil in the exchange, and the price of government bonds continued to skyrocket. At this time, Nathan was leisurely leaning against the pillar to enjoy the chaotic scene.
On the surface, Nathan appears to be taking a big-money gamble. If the British army is defeated, won't he lose a lot of money? In fact, it's a well-designed play-to-earn game. The outcome of the Battle of Waterloo determines the market of British government bonds, which is well understood by every investor, so everyone is eager to get official information one step ahead of others. With the exception of Nathan, he did not want to rely on official information at all, he had his own circle of contacts, from which he could learn about the actual situation before the British government.
It turned out that Rothschild's five sons were distributed in Western European countries, and they regarded information and intelligence as the lifeblood of the family's survival, so they established a special intelligence network across Europe very early, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to purchase the fastest and latest equipment at that time, from relevant business information to social hot topics, and the accuracy and transmission speed of intelligence exceeded that of the British government's post station. It was precisely because of this efficient social circle that Nathan had established by blood ties that he was able to get Waterloo one step ahead of the British government.
Kai-Fu Lee, the former president of Google, is an introvert, and when he first joined Microsoft, in order to establish his own circle, he even sent invitations to every senior staff, inviting one staff member to lunch at a time. When the reporter asked him why he did that, he said that communicating with people was not what he was good at, and he did it all so that he could really integrate into the Microsoft circle, and only by integrating into this circle could he get more and more accurate information.
A circle is a special "medium" for information delivery, and this word-of-mouth effect is far more effective and convincing than advertising.
One shampoo advertised something like this: "I told two people, and they told four others...... and countless women appeared on the screen. All of them have beautiful and clean hair. Women know the mystery of hairdressing because they get information to beautify themselves from their social circles; Businessmen learn more about business from their social circles. Gain access to markets and opportunities. The popular direct sales model of Amway, Avon and other brands is to sell products through circles.
When you communicate with people, share resources, and build a large network of people, you'll find that it not only gives you the ability to manage your own life. It allows you to fully enjoy life and cope with the changes in it.
Yes, in today's information society, the era of one's thinking has passed, and whether or not you can build a high-quality network of people who can provide you with information should be the key to the success or failure of your career.
Doing good deeds is a very deep knowledge, and if you want to do good deeds, of course, you need your personal ability, but it is difficult to succeed with your personal ability alone. Therefore, borrowing the strength of others to do things and letting others become the ladder of your work is the best way to achieve things.
Generally speaking, it is often easier to do something that is related to your area of responsibility, but it is more difficult than climbing to the sky to do something that has nothing to do with you, and you don't even know how to do it or how to do it. Like what. A good friend begs you to help him get a sign from a certain celebrity, and you work in the railway department, it will be easy for you to get a tight train ticket for him, because you live in the circle of railroads. It's easy to do; And if you ask a celebrity for an autograph, you don't live in his circle, and you don't know anything about the entertainment industry. If you want to sign an autograph like this, you have to stupidly follow a group of star fans to find the right time to queue up.
So. People in the circle are easy to do, as long as you live in this circle or you have connections in this circle. It's easy to do the relevant things.
The richest man in the world, Bill. Gates signed his first contract when he was 20 years old, with IBM, the world's largest computer company at the time.
At that time, he was still a student at the university and did not have many connections. How could he catch such a big "whale"? Probably many people don't know that it turns out that Bill. The reason why Gates was able to sign this contract was because there was an intermediary - Bill. Gates' mother. Bill. Isn't it natural that Gates's mother is a director on IBM's board of directors, and that his mother introduced her son to the chairman? Bill. Gates signed the big deal with IBM, which laid the first cornerstone of his career success.
Bill. It was through his mother's circle that Gates met the chairman of IBM's board of directors. Gates didn't have his mother's circle, and it was difficult for him to even meet the directors of IBM, and even if he had great skills and no place for him to show them, he would not be able to succeed.
See Bill. Gates met the directors of IBM through his mother's circle and eventually made his first business, and some people may have an excuse to think that I live in an ordinary family, with no relatives who know the chairman or friends who know nobles, and that I didn't succeed because I didn't have a good chance.
Research from authoritative institutions shows that there are only four people between you and anyone in the world, no matter where the person you want to know lives, in which country, which race, what skin color, and only if you, the person you want to know, and the four people between you must have a natural connection, and it is not surprising that there are only four people between you and Bush or bin Laden, and the second person in this wonderful chain of six is actually someone you know, maybe your parents, maybe your college classmates, Maybe it's the aunt in the office who helps you wipe your desk and clean it every day...... If you think about it, isn't it amazing that you can get in touch with Bush through the network of your aunt who does cleaning?
Opportunity and noble people are the combination of the right people, things, and things that appear at the right time. We can't control when this perfect coincidence arises, the only possibility is to create more possibilities for ourselves by controlling our own circles.
The circle is like an eight-legged octopus, and every eight-legged octopus is constantly gathering and intertwining every minute of every day, but we often don't know it, don't care, and often pass by the nobles! Don't just look at the dignitaries in your network, if you put too much emphasis on the dignitaries, you will ignore other more ordinary people. At the right time, even an ordinary person can turn things around and become your "great nobleman"!
But don't expand the circle without restrictions, without selectivity and principle. Even if you collect a lot of business cards, it does not mean that you have friends all over the world, and the insincere nodding friendship is equal to zero, and it takes a long time to accumulate and precipitate your contacts. Now start to review your network from the beginning, treat it sincerely, and build your own noble popularity.
What kind of circle you have has has an important impact on the fate of life. For example, two identical plates produced by the same factory, one may become a utensil for entertaining VIPs, and the other may become a utensil for feeding cats. The quality of the plates is the same, but their role and fate are very different, because of the different circles they are in. Jiang Ziya was just a hermit in the countryside, making a living from farming, fishing and hunting, and when he arrived at the Zhou Wenwang Group, he grew into a famous politician in the history of China. Governing the family and the army. Affair. This is to find the right place. Hong Xiuquan, a poor scholar who failed the imperial examination, made a group of friends through the circle of "God Worship Society" and established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which actually shook the foundation of the imperial court.
Good birds choose trees to perch. The sage said, "Don't enter the country." Ancient kings also regarded "divination" as a major event related to the rise and fall of the country, honor and disgrace, life and death.
In folklore, goblins cultivated by animals, such as fox fairies or something, will encounter thunder tribulations when they are about to become enlightened. At this time, the clever goblin will run to the house of a noble man and hide, so that Thor will throw a mouse trap and let it go. Luck also lies in one's own choice, and it is necessary to choose an environment that makes good luck.
Dog beating depends on the owner's face. The dogs in the temple, no one dares to beat them casually! Therefore, in "Dragon Babu", Cui Baiquan cleverly supported himself in the mansion of the prince of Dali Duan in order to avoid the enemy. Choosing a city or a profession is a choice of where to make a nest. The first thing we should do is to move the nest to the big tree, from the bush to the towering tree. The environment and the current situation not only create heroes, but also the environment is really a matter of life and death!
Choice, not something that can be given to others, but something that you have to do yourself. Take the choice firmly in your own hands. Every morning, you can choose to go out dressed decently or you can choose to go out in sloppy clothes. It's all up to you! (To be continued......)
