874 [Success Master Wang Yangming]
During the 08 financial crisis, among the top ten best-selling books in the United States, five were about financial investment, three were about financial knowledge, one was about the survival rules of Goldman Sachs Bank, and one was about how women managed their finances.
Until 1939, the Great Depression in the United States had not completely eased, and Zhou Hexuan's new book clearly captured the reader's G-spot.
Sell like crazy!
Sales reached 8,000 copies on the first day, and word of mouth began to explode in the second week of release, with daily sales of 15,000 copies for more than two months, and the cumulative sales in the first three months directly exceeded the 1 million copies mark.
At $4 per book, Mr. Zhou's personal royalties plus the publishing company's dividends brought him more than $1.7 million in after-tax net profits over three months. Of course, the profit of the publishing company is the lion's own, and the income from pure manuscript fees is less than $400,000 (the tax on professional writers in the United States is too harsh), so you still have to be your own boss.
The profit of this book is continuous, and it can be sold for at least a few decades, and every time it is reprinted, Zhou Hexuan can make a profit.
I don't know if I can catch up with "The Weakness of Human Nature", which has sold more than 90 million copies, and pure royalties can make Carnegie a monopoly.
The New York Times, which was controlled by the Jewish consortium, immediately stood up and praised the stinky feet, raving: "Success is so simple, as long as you follow the Jewish classic 'Talmud' and the guidance of Mr. Zhou Hexuan, you can reap the great wealth you have always dreamed of." ”
CBS also lost no time in bringing in some of the investment experts on Wall Street to rally the Jews' business and wisdom around the Talmud. To put it bluntly, it is to whitewash the Jews, by the way, to praise Zhou Hexuan's erudition, and by the way, to raise the sales of this chicken soup book.
The propaganda effect was obvious, and at the same time that books were selling wildly, the American people began to identify with the Jewish idea of money, or at least no longer regard Jews as mere vampires.
……
In the blink of an eye, it's April.
The U.S. Congress formally discussed the proposal to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act, and although most lawmakers opposed it, fortunately they did not directly reject it, but continued to meet to discuss how to work around.
As Zhou Hexuan told Roosevelt that day, the Chinese Exclusion Act was rooted in racism, which is now notorious and detrimental to America's image if it continued.
Moreover, the United States' tendency to aid China is becoming more and more obvious, and the "Chinese Exclusion Act" is also an obstacle there, and it is a matter of time before it will be abolished.
After three months of discussion, the U.S. government finally officially announced the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act. However, provisions that discriminate against Chinese still exist, such as stipulating a limit of 105 Chinese immigrants per year, which is equivalent to the existence of the "Chinese Exclusion Act" in disguise, but it is better to say.
But this is enough to excite the Chinese in the United States, who finally have a legal "equal" status, and many Chinese illegal immigrants are automatically granted American citizenship - on the condition that they reach a certain number of years of residence and have a stable income.
This was impossible before, and the provisions of the "Chinese Exclusion Act" that have been added many times in succession have almost completely blocked the way for Chinese to obtain American citizenship.
Just when Zhou Hexuan was about to return to China, Feng Yong came to New York with a copy of "The Talmud - Why Jews Can Become Monopoly", and said with a smile: "Mingcheng, I didn't expect that you are still an expert in business." ”
"It's just fooling people, do you believe it?" Zhou Hexuan said.
Feng Yong flipped through the book casually and said: "Actually, it makes sense to write, if I read this book 20 years ago, I would probably go into business directly." ”
Chicken soup for the soul is also chicken soup, and the nutrition must be there, otherwise it would not have been popular for so many years. For example, persuading people to study more, persuading people to strengthen their minds, persuading people to be self-confident and self-reliant, persuading people to face difficulties, etc., are these useless? Of course it works!
When people are frustrated and depressed, if they can pour 10,000 chicken soup, they can be resurrected in situ if they can't.
But you can't drink too much of this thing, just pick two classic classics and read them thoroughly, and you can carefully understand and implement them. All day long holding on to success and learning to talk nonsense, that is self-deception, and you can only get farther and farther away from success.
Successology has nothing to do with the Jewish "Talmud", these truths can be found in the "Book of Changes", "Tianxingjian, the gentleman with self-improvement", "the terrain is good, the gentleman is virtuous" two sentences can guide life.
If you still want to study deeply, then go directly to learn Wang Yangming's "heart science" to ensure that you gain more from the way to success.
"Yangming Xinxue" is not empty talk, let alone idealism, it is a very advanced success science. As long as you truly comprehend the elite of mental science and implement it carefully, then you will definitely be able to succeed, and those who do not succeed will either lack IQ or have too much luck.
After Wang Yangming's death, there were several schools of mind, each with very different interpretations, but none of them could escape the words "unity of knowledge and action".
"Knowledge" is not simple knowledge, and "conscience" is not keeping conscience in the popular sense. It is divided into two aspects, that is, to know one's own character and pursuit internally, and to understand the people and things one faces externally.
To be able to accurately understand oneself, others, and all things is "to conscience". This so-called accurate understanding is different for everyone, because everyone's personality and pursuits, as well as the environment they face, are different.
With a "conscience", we have to do it, and this is "action".
"Action" should also pay attention to ways and means, perseverance is certain, but sometimes mistakes will be made, and you need to constantly adjust your "conscience".
Combining "knowledge" and "action", using theory to guide practice, using practice to verify theory, constantly making correct adjustments in failure, and maintaining the original heart will never waver, this is the "unity of knowledge and action", which is Wang Yangming's "heart science" and the core of any success science.
It's easy to understand, but it's very difficult to do, and to be able to do it completely is a saint.
There's no way to impart experience to this thing, because everyone is different. People with a short personality and a calm personality deal with the same thing differently. Wang Yangming did not require the disciples of Xinxue to be calm and down-to-earth, as is the case with ordinary success, but made the most reasonable response according to their own situation.
Sometimes, a short-tempered personality can get things done, and a calm personality hesitates to miss the opportunity.
In Zhou Hexuan's view, Wang Yangming is a master of success. Whether it is Japan in the era of the People's Restoration or China during the period of the Nationalist Government, the study of mind belongs to the mainstream ideology of the two governments, and Lao Jiang is a thorough follower of Wang Yangming's success.
Feng Yong chatted with Zhou Hexuan for a while, and suddenly said, "I will return to China next week." ”
"Let's do it together." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
After a full year of delay, the plane problem was finally solved.
The U.S. government promised Zhou Hexuan to transport the plane to China, but in order to avoid Japan's overreaction, it had to go around the territory of the Soviet Union first. In other words, the Soviet Union will sell the planes first, and then the Soviet Union will sell the planes to China, so that Japan will have no reason to trouble the United States.
Zhou Hexuan had already contacted the Soviet ambassador to the United States, not only to transport his planes back to the United States, but also to buy more than 30 planes in the Soviet Union by the way, so as to make up two complete flight squadrons.
Of course, the money is all from Zhou Hexuan, and the money earned from the successful study is enough.
