Chapter 57: Be a beautiful road first!

Some people say that there is no direct selling without the system, and even many people worship the system as if it were a god; Some people say that the system is a university without walls, and at least an annual salary of 100,000 yuan after three years of study; Some people say that the system is like an assembly line, this one goes in is a pig, and the other one comes out is ham sausage, or they are all successful. These statements are very vivid, but I'm afraid that what comes out of the assembly line is not necessarily talented, let alone successful? If that were the case, I think all the schools in the world would cease to exist. To put it bluntly, the system is at best an educational system, with the help of tools (books, tapes, courses, etc.) to bring people to improve in certain aspects, and to do things that are difficult for individuals to do through cooperation. This is quite similar to the operation of enterprises and groups, with similarities and distinctive characteristics, but it is certainly not as magical as many so-called successful people boast to newcomers.

When it comes to replication, especially the replication of talents, it is not only for direct sales to do, in fact, every industry needs to have the transmission of talents in order to survive and develop, and no matter how it is copied, it is inseparable from strong leaders. The leader of the system is just as important, and sometimes even more important, than the effectiveness of the system. The history of any school, enterprise, or group proves that institutionalization and systematization are very important, but excellent leaders are also indispensable.

One of the big problems in today's world is not the lack of information, but the surplus of information, that is, the effective selection and screening of information. As an ordinary person, how useful is it for someone to tell you how complete their training materials are, just as to tell you that he has a library with tens of millions of books? It's not about how much, it's about how much you can understand and how much you can use. Prime Minister Zhao Cheng once said that "half of the treatise rules the world", and now the popular success, management, and marketing are blooming everywhere, but the problem of success has not been solved, why? There are not many books, but they are in use!

Everyone's learning ability is different, what is the impact on learning ability? Genetics, educational background, life experience, personality factors, etc., these are irreplaceable. Therefore, great people, whether politicians, entrepreneurs or academics, are irreplaceable. To put it simply, the same book, he can read ten or even a hundred times more efficiently than ordinary people, this is not a cult of personality, but a very easy to understand truth. A person's ability to learn depends on his foundation, and the more knowledge he has in the past, the stronger his ability to learn, because people's cognitive ability and analytical ability rely on the original knowledge base. In today's era of knowledge explosion, most people's brains are not enough, and we may not be able to read all kinds of literature added every day. So, instead of reading books every day, why not just follow the "master" to learn? All systems claim to be powerful, have a long history, complete the system, produce talents, and be steady, but they have collapsed after the departure of their important leaders, which is enough to show that the role of leaders is very important. It can be seen that good leaders are as important as systems. Great leaders can create a system, but the survival, perfection and development of the system are inseparable from the leader.

There is a very classic saying in the American road called "It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, it is better to read countless people than to read countless people, and it is better to read countless people than to show the way to ...... famous teachers", that is to say, a person can only learn theory, but also practice. After learning theory and practice, it is still not enough, because everyone's comprehension ability is different. People are self-aware, it is difficult for us to find and correct our blind spots, and to a certain extent, bottlenecks appear, so at this time someone needs to be dialed, the more powerful this person, the greater the possibility of us getting out of the predicament, and the faster the speed.

What is a master? The master is that he understands the truth that most people don't understand, does what most people can't do, and can see the problems that most people can't see. The reason why I mention these is not to say who is the master, but to show that the role of the master is very large, even so large that it exceeds the system. Meilu and the major systems to which it belongs understand this truth, so they have created many "masters" who are incomparable to any other industry, that is, the so-called "gods" - the biggest difference between Meilu or direct selling and other industries is this: in other industries, we can only watch from afar; In direct selling, the "masters" are willing to take the initiative to approach you, and even want you to become a master. This is determined by the system of direct selling, and it is also the unique interest appeal of this industry.

As the old saying goes, teaching by example is more important than teaching, if only the tree is big and there are dead branches, if the forest is just big and there are all kinds of birds, then I think I will not lose my confidence in the beautiful road so "easily". As a diamond of Meilu, of course I will not look at the silver, DD or even jadeite, I can not even look at other diamonds, but what about double diamonds? What about the three diamonds? And what about the crown ambassadors who represent the glorious image of the system? Once you understand that the so-called God is actually just a person, and in many cases is not even a person of high moral character and conscience, you will suddenly understand that so many wonderful futures that pop out of their mouths are in fact nothing more than an illusory bubble, an unattainable utopia......

When I met Yuanyuan, she was still a ruby from Meilu, and at that time I was almost a newcomer who had just reached 12%. In Tangshan that year, I was 28 years old and she was 21 years old. Yuanyuan later became the youngest jade in China, a girl who wrote myths and miracles on the Success Ridge countless times, and could tell her story with a smile while wiping her tears, touching the hearts of countless people. At the age of 18, she was a beautiful road, at the age of 19, she was on the silver medal, at the age of 20 DD, at the age of 21 ruby at the age of 21, and at the age of 22 she was already a big jade with five DD legs and a gold medal leg when she was 23 years old. Yuanyuan's introducer is her mother, who is also a jadeite, and then up is Gaojun Mountain. It has always been said that tiger poison does not eat children, and the high-level who robbed other people's markets have seen a lot, and it is really the first time to see those who have robbed their own deep jade. In Tangshan, a city that is not too small, Yuanyuan finally became enemies with her predecessor Gao Junshan. In August 2007, when we co-organized Chenggong Ridge in Tangshan, Yahan and I had a long conversation at her home, and at that time, Meilu was completely behind closed doors – not following any system, only working with a few familiar leaders. As friends, we tried to convince her that she could only get big if she re-followed the system, and now, I finally fully understand her state of mind. Yuanyuan's father later went to Guilin to do other pyramid schemes, and pulled the side departments he knew before, I really don't know how they survived in the past few years.

Because we are in Tianjin, we always have a lot of opportunities to go to Tangshan. I remember once in Chenggong Ridge in Tangshan, Gao Junshan's wife Su Chunrong suddenly said on stage that she was very relieved of her husband and would not mess with the flowers, because there were countless partners in the audience who were helping her keep an eye on it. I didn't know a lot of the inside story at that time, and my mind was full of the beautiful value of Meilu, and I couldn't help but be a little stunned when I heard Su Chunrong talk about this. Su Chunrong is Gao Junshan's wife, and at that time there was no upward drilling, they came all the way through the wind and rain of the American Road, and we met when they were still DD. At most, a year later, Gao Junshan married Liu Zhenzhen, the wife of Luoyang Xingzuan Wang Liang, and Su Chunrong, who lost her husband, soon jumped to other direct pyramid schemes to continue fighting, which is really unpredictable. The day before, he was still preaching how good Meilu was, and the day after that, he stood in the opposing camp and waved his flag and shouted.

I've always wondered why, every time I meet with Mr. Yang, or Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhou, the Crown Ambassadors, they always take out a lot of overseas products from the trolley case they carry with them to recommend to us, from the best gold pot to a steel wool ball for washing dishes. At the beginning, it was an adult multivitamin, and then carotene and liver protection tablets, as well as nail polish, perfume, etc., anyway, they were all new things that had not yet been marketed in China. The leader will say, how hard it is to be a Meilu, the body is the capital of the revolution, you have to eat a lot of B and VC, and adult multivitamins only need two pairs a day, which is simple and economical...... We have always believed in the words of the leaders, and after each meeting, in the leader's room, a large group of people in the team are scrambling to snatch up, and at the end of the day, we are grateful to the leader. Do you think that the leaders have to bring these products back to China from overseas in large packages, just so that everyone can experience overseas products as soon as possible, just so that everyone can better take care of their bodies...... But at that time, we never thought that buying goods from these hands-on leaders would have no performance at all and would not be able to get bonuses. Those so-called high-level people stay in the domestic operation market all the year round, what do they rely on to maintain their overseas markets and awards? There is only one answer, that is, to buy a large number of goods overseas to rush performance, and then dump these products back to China and sell them in bulk to their downlines. There are bonuses, awards, overseas travel, and by the way, I can gain the gratitude of some departments, why not kill four birds with one stone?

Shortly after leaving Meilu, I met Wang Jun, a veteran DD under Shanghai Liuzuan, in Nanchang, and we had known each other for more than four years since the second Maoshan DD annual meeting of the Galaxy System in 2004. In Shanghai, Wang Jun, who has three generations of DD, and his hands-on drill have been operating with Mr. Yang's Galaxy system for several years, and he has been leaving Meilu for almost a year with some of the backbone of the team to go to traditional business. Meilu has been in the past six years, and his loss will never be less than 20,000 yuan. When he first left, he still had an absent income of more than 2,000 yuan per month, which dropped to less than 400 yuan in less than a year. If you don't take care of your team, the so-called absent income will slowly decay until there is nothing at all. That's why so many high-level systems have to fly around all day. He joked that if there is nothing, the "covenant" is not worth renewing, so why waste the 60 yuan?

Wang Jun's hands-on drill willow drill is a well-known "iron rooster", he never runs a studio, and he runs to the center of the offline line for three days to rub the venue, never shares a penny, and then holds a meeting by the way to earn some extra money. He made a lot of money at every meeting, and in the face of the department, he even said that he was not ashamed to pay to make money, which is a matter of course, why should he pay in vain? Meilu is your own business! At the end of 2006, a partner in the Liuzuan market had uremia and had to have a kidney replaced, and the house was sold because of Meilu, and his wife and children were not found. On Chenggong Ridge, a certain DD advocated everyone to donate love on the stage, and Liu Zuan was the first to take the lead in donating money, but he only took out 200 yuan from his pocket, and all the American passers-by in the audience looked at each other, who dared to donate more than the leader? As a result, more than 300 people in the audience only made up 2,000 yuan in the end...... Whether it's because he has no money or is too selfish, I don't know.

The two old guys of Meilu always talk about everything when they get together, everyone knows a lot, who can poison whom? I told Wang Jun about my disappointment with the system and the senior leaders, and there was a little nostalgia for Mr. Yang, who was one of the few leaders I admired in the senior ranks of Meilu for so many years. Who knew that he told me with a relaxed face: "That's because you guys are too far away!" "I seem to be a little rare and strange in my conversation. From Wang Jun's mouth, I slowly understood that Mr. Yang began to systematically make low discounts since October 2002, except for one row of diamonds and six diamonds in most departments, the five or six Q12DD households in the horizontal row below her were all made in this way. Friends who know Meilu should know that for a double diamond, a Q12DD is FAA 1 point, and 1 point means a large amount of FAA bonus at the end of the year. I remember that in 2003 and 2004, we frequently traveled back and forth between Tianjin and Shanghai, and Ms. Yang strongly recommended her Q12DD at the conference. Like Xu Qianhua, who is equipped with a pacemaker, and Nie Jiasheng, a godson from Jiangxi, has no education, no team, and his ability and quality are also very average, but he can sell 80,000 yuan a month by relying on personal sales. In 2002, when I went to the silver medal, I relied on personal sales of 49,000 yuan to achieve the silver medal goal, and I still have an idea of how hard it is to work with personal sales of 80,000 yuan per month, but at that time I was convinced that my efforts were not enough. Thinking about it now, I'm afraid that only the low-fold road can accomplish this almost impossible goal so easily. Teacher Yang, this successful woman who was once so elegant, so wise, and so charismatic in my mind, finally, in the days after I left Meilu, the last idol in the spiritual world also collapsed.

A few days ago, I went to sit at the Jade of the side department of Suzhou Center. That jade household is a small department of Teacher Yang, and now it has been reduced to a senior DD household. She has a former pearl under her and now Q12DD, and I am also very familiar with it, and I have helped him introduce several big customers in the days after arriving in Suzhou. During the chat, I learned that their team rarely participates in Mr. Yang's meetings now, because they found that since the market was bleak, there are more and more meetings, in his words, Mr. Yang has no confidence in the future Chinese market, so the money of the conference can earn one yuan is one yuan. Now, they only use Mr. Yang to get tickets to the Crown Ambassador Miss Zhou Conference, and after returning from the conference, they will immediately "post-meeting" to do the department's ideological work, so as to reduce the adverse impact of the conference's radical ideas and practices on the team as much as possible. Nothing can fool Lao Meilu for more than eight years, they have seen and know a lot, and the market operation is much more pragmatic and rational. As a Q12DD household, his monthly income had to be spent completely, and what he could really get was the Q bonus of 40,000 yuan (that is, the stable bonus) at the end of the year. Of course, Meilu people can say that this improves their quality of life, it can also be said that it improves their personal ability, and it can be said that their future will be more "beautiful"!

The last time I saw Mr. Chen, the Crown Ambassador, was at the annual meeting of the Peak System in Zhouzhuang in May 2007, and I have not seen Mr. Chen's "majestic shore" since then. Mr. Chen's wife, Ms. Zhou, is the younger sister of Mr. Zhou, the head of Meilu Bright International, who retired from Meilu in 1996 and has been taking care of her children at home in Australia, and the domestic market has been taken over by Mr. Chen. Around the second half of 2006, Ms. Zhou began to appear where there was Mr. Chen. If it weren't for the Great Recession in 2005 and 2006, their team shrank severely, and I don't think Miss Zhou would have ever reappeared. After all, paper can't contain the fire, so Mr. Chen's affairs in the three palaces and six courtyards were soon learned by Miss Zhou, and since then, Mr. Chen has evaporated in the world of Meilu, and the former heyday system has also changed back to its original name - Tongde. At the beginning, it was rumored in the market that Mr. Chen was taking a small department in Shanghai, and later it was said that Mr. Chen went back to Australia to take the children, and then some people began to say that Mr. Chen and Miss Zhou were divorcing, and the final version was that the marriage was not divorced, and the two separated. In 2004, the turnover of Miss Zhou and Mr. Chen in the Chinese market reached 3.4 billion, and there were more than 150 high-end diamond households, and their market ownership was said to be valued at 340 million.

Rumors of the divorce of two systematic ***** were once boiling in the rivers and lakes, and in order to cover up the truth about the departure of a crown ambassador, any lie is worth making up. Mr. Chen has completely disappeared from the rivers and lakes of Meilu, but Miss Zhou estimates that there is no shortage of alimony. People in the rivers and lakes said that he had returned to Australia, but in fact, he was just hiding in a church in Shanghai to volunteer, and it was estimated that Miss Zhou meant that he had to atone for his original sin there.

Like Mr. Chen, there is a high-ranking person who has this common problem of men, and there is also the brilliant crown ambassador, Mr. Zheng. As one of the five famous jadeites in Guangdong before 1998, Mr. Zheng was still a jade for many years after 1998, until he met his current wife, Miss Luo. As the chairman of 18 companies, Miss Luo was still a small 9% at that time, and she was fascinated by Mr. Zheng's style and style as she sat in the audience, so Mr. Zheng, who abandoned the chaff, actually went straight from jade to crown ambassador in one year after sitting on a rich and high-quality list of new lovers. Miss Luo is really a good wife, beautiful, rich and capable, but Mr. Zheng still has a lot of romances in the team...... Maybe something was finally agreed, and their marriage was finally saved.

In addition to this small hobby, like Mr. Sun, the crown ambassador known as the first hegemon in the southwest, Mr. Zheng also has a notoriety for grabbing lines in the rivers and lakes, so that many diamonds have to block (i.e., do not promote and do not cooperate) these two top executives in the system when operating the market. It's just ridiculous that this successful person who likes to grab the line was also angry when his deep diamond was poached by another crown ambassador of the crown system in the Philippines, and threatened that if he didn't return the card, the domestic market would not be easy to meet. In May 2007, at the annual meeting of Zhouzhuang Dingsheng system, Mr. Zheng, Chen Xiaobin and other senior executives who had suffered heavy losses in the Philippine market launched the initiative of diamond joint letter at the diamond conference, and the lawsuit went to Mr. Fu, the head of the crown, but in the end it was still unresolved.

The last crown ambassador who looked at the dazzling was the only one left. In the rivers and lakes, Sister Fenghua has always been known for being "ruthless", but her most sensational case was the 2006 100 million yuan low discount case. Of course, the amount of money seized by the company involved in the case is only 17 million yuan, but what does it matter? Hundreds of millions of yuan or 17 million yuan are just numbers. At that time, there were also five diamonds under Sister Fenghua, among which Lin Shuangzuan, the founder of the Huagong system, has been punished at the eighth level. After the eighth-level punishment, Lin Shuangzuan went to the UK to "study" for two years, and now he is back in the Chinese market, after all, he still has a British household registration......

Originally, Sister Fenghua was also to be punished at the eighth level, but later this punishment was quietly changed to seven and a half levels, and it is estimated that the eldest patriarch Boss Chen did not have a lot of brain cells for this, after all, she is one of the two henchmen of Boss Chen in China. Seven-and-a-half levels of punishment means the cancellation of all bonuses for the year, the cancellation of awards, the cancellation of overseas travel, the suspension of market ownership, and the return of all sales representatives to start over. This is a severe punishment second only to the eighth-level punishment, and before the punishment is lifted, the performance of all its departments has nothing to do with itself (i.e., no team income), and the only income can only come from individual sales. For a long time after July 2007, Sister Fenghua disappeared from the market like air, and she and her husband hid in Canada. In order to maintain their life in Canada, their property in the country was sold out, and the Canadian Hummer was not saved. In order to make a living, my husband Mr. Hu had to start going back to work, and his life was quite hard......

In addition to the low fold, Sister Fenghua is also quite strong when grabbing the line, and the slogan played by its department when grabbing the line is: Only by following Sister Fenghua's system can we do the most authentic beauty road, so they are at ease when they grab the line...... It all sounds speechless. After being punished by the seventh and a half levels, Sister Fenghua was understood and tolerated by most departments. Speaking of their own *****, many departments said that the leaders are also for everyone and for the system. yes, why would a crown ambassador go for a low discount? Because if you don't get a low discount, you can't ensure the award, and if you don't have the award, you won't have influence, you can't unite the team, you can't maintain the market if you can't cohesive the team, and if you can't maintain the market, the team will continue to "die...... This is a vicious circle, in order to prevent the first piece of dominoes from falling, you can only take risks. According to the people who participated in it at that time, at the beginning of the decision to reduce the discount, almost most of the jade in Sister Fenghua's team participated, and she even set up a low-discount fund, and everyone above the jade level had at least hundreds of thousands of yuan of funds to participate in it, and Sister Fenghua's husband Mr. Hu's college classmate was an executive of a famous shopping website, and the goods supplied to the website alone were not less than 20 million yuan per month, which lasted for more than a year......

I remember that when I first made Meilu, everyone said that if you do DD, you will be guaranteed, and then the level of protection will be increased by us Diamond, so it seems that being a crown ambassador may not necessarily be guaranteed! As the first diamond in China, can you say that the crown ambassador Sister Fenghua does not understand what corporate culture is and what is the correct beauty road?

In August and September 2008, just over a month before I left Meilu, I quietly stayed at home and began a retreat on my own. I often think, as the bright flag and crown ambassadors: Mr. Chen, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Sun, Sister Fenghua, they are all people who have been educated by Meilu for many years, why are they all so bad without exception? Is there something wrong with the culture, or is it because of the system? I'm starting to realize that it's not just a matter of human nature. Among them, Mr. Chen's incident hit me the hardest: on the one hand, Mr. Chen was my first-hand crown ambassador, and I followed the left and right for a long time; On the other hand, it was listening to Mr. Chen's class that touched my heartstrings when I joined Meilu.

Of course, it is impossible for every team to have high-level sexual affairs, some may not be true, and some may be that your position (award) is too low to know it. Our own team also has a Zhu Ansheng, but my first crown ambassador is not so simple, and other people's methods of picking up girls are all at the crown ambassador level.

There are many stories about the high-level of the system, and the anecdotes of the crown ambassador of the system alone have written so much, and the stories of many diamonds, row diamonds, double diamonds, triple diamonds, four diamonds, and even other high-level people of the system may not have to waste much pen and ink, or just save yourself time and dirty the eyes of the officials. To be a beautiful man, be a man first! This is a truth that every Meilu person understands, but those high-level people don't treat themselves as people. As a result, there has been a fiasco in the market since 2005, and the market that has just flourished has suddenly declined before it gets old, so there are countless purgatory on earth.

The leader taught us that you are not here to be a beautiful road, but to play a beautiful road, and the leaders play by themselves! I remembered a famous saying that is popular on the Internet: the one who has wings is not necessarily an angel, he may be a birdman.
