Small bosses rely on diligence.
Similarly, different people have different reactions, some people struggle on their own, and some people. Wenzhou people are not necessarily the most industrious people in China, but many people in China have witnessed their diligence and willingness. A foreign expert who visited the northwest went to Wenzhou and found that the long-distance bus from Wenzhou to Beijing took three days and four nights to arrive, but it was still overcrowded, which was very emotional. Because what he often sees in the north is a completely different scene: a farmer in the north, dressed in rags, will squat under the wall in the sun even if his stomach is not full.
It stands to reason that if you live in a poor area and have a poor family, you should strive to get rid of the hat of poverty and live a good life through tenacious struggle. But in reality, some people are lazy, so they "would rather die poor than exhausted." Being so afraid of being tired and poor really bothers Wenzhou people.
The Chinese nation is hardworking, so our ancestors equated "hardship" with "hard work" and synthesized the idiom "hardship". In Wenzhou people, this kind of hard-working spirit can best be reflected.
In many local markets, market managers and stall owners have a consensus: in the market, Wenzhou people are often the first to open the door and the last to close it. The early bird catches the worm, so it is not surprising that Wenzhou people who run for more than three hours a day make more money than others.
Nan Cunhui of Wenzhou Zheng Tai Group, known as the star boss, repaired shoes for others in the street in the 1980s. Others repaired three pairs of shoes a day, but he could repair 10 pairs of shoes a day. It is this diligence that has made him what he is today.
Later, Nan Cunhui and Hu Chengzhong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Delixi Group, went to Shanghai to study art and slept on the floor of a small attic, which confirmed the entrepreneurial spirit of "sleeping on the floor". Not only during the period of starting a business, but also after becoming a boss, he can still take off his suit and sleep on the floor when necessary.
In order to train his son Zhou Xiaohu to take over, Dahu Zhou, who has achieved great success, often makes his son work overtime on rest days or at night. My son who drank foreign ink was not used to it when he first entered the company. He protested to his father: "This is not the case abroad. I work during working hours and rest during breaks. " Dahu Zhou's answer is: "That's a foreign country. That's what Wenzhou people do. There is no rest time and no reason. " Later, Zhou Xiaohu also regarded overtime as a common practice.
Wenzhou people can endure hardships and work hard, so they often travel around the world successfully. Many Wenzhou people have no skills, even English and French, but they can gain a foothold in European and American countries. Thanks to their hard work. After saving the first bucket of gold, they opened their own shop. Everyone thinks they want to be a boss and don't want to work for others. In this way, they can become millionaires and multimillionaires in Europe, America, South Africa and other places.
Wenzhou people have robbed the European market for more than ten years and defeated invincible Jews who have been doing business in Europe for thousands of years in many fields. How did Wenzhou people win the Jews? By hard work!
Jews work 8 hours a day and 5 days a week; Wenzhou people work 13 hours a day and 7 days a week, which greatly reduces the cost of belts and wallets. The products produced not only have short processing time and low price, but also can be completed on time and with good quality. Slowly, Wenzhou people pushed Jews out of the market. Facing the hard-working Wenzhou people, Jews, who are the first businessmen in the world, can't help exclaiming: There are people who can do business better than us!
Small bosses make money by hard work, middle bosses make money by management, and big bosses make money by investment decisions. Therefore, in the entrepreneurial stage, it is especially necessary to be hard-working and hard-working. "Being a boss during the day and sleeping on the floor at night" is a true portrayal of Wenzhou people's early entrepreneurship. It is this spirit that enables them to make the enterprise bigger and stronger quickly without the support of resources, technology and policies.
Labor creates wealth.
There is a phenomenon in society: many people are not unemployed or have no chance to earn money, but "unwilling to make efforts." They would rather sit at home and chew on the "minimum living security" than go out and earn hundreds of dollars of "hard-earned money" and wait for others to "send warm, offer love and help the poor". Not only that, they also blindly blame the society. This increases the burden on society.
Others once said so fiercely, why are Wenzhou people so rich? This is a problem. The reason is simple, Wenzhou people are very diligent. Among Wenzhou people, there are some who violate the law and discipline, evade taxes, and even make and sell fake goods, cheat and smuggle, but there will never be beggars, because Wenzhou people never get something for nothing. They think it is a shame to reach out and wait for others to give them, which is a sign of incompetence.
Qinghai Province, which is located on the roof of the world, has 1000 Wenzhou people starting businesses here, despite the harsh geographical and climatic conditions on the plateau, all over the cities. Since the 1980s, some Wenzhou people have raised hundreds of travelling expenses and brought buttons, zippers and other Wenzhou department stores or hand tools such as shoes and glasses all the way to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to start businesses. With the unique intelligence, perseverance and fighting spirit of Wenzhou people, they tried to overcome altitude sickness, set up small businesses, carried them on their shoulders, and sold them door to door, gradually accumulating funds and developing into powerful entrepreneurs.
Zhang Murong, chairman of Kunming Rong Feng Industry and Trade Co., Ltd., came to Kunming to start a business when he was 18 years old. Today's achievements depend entirely on personal diligence. He summed up his personal experience of starting a business into a sentence "Labor creates wealth" and wrote this sentence on the wall of the factory to encourage all employees.
1979, Zhang Murong came to Kunming. Like other Wenzhou people, he started from scratch. He said it was really difficult to start a business at first, and almost everything was done. He used to be a sugar vendor and a shoemaker ... later, with the help of relatives and friends, he began to process recycled plastics, even the machinery and equipment were on credit. He found that Kunming tobacco factory and aluminum factory discarded a lot of waste plastics every day. These are the best sources of raw materials in his factory, so he collects these humble waste plastics at a very low price and processes them into recycled plastics. Because of the low cost, he completed the original accumulation in a few years.
Most Wenzhou bosses are like this. They have the complex of "first-line work". They started from first-line production and still like to engage in first-line production after becoming bosses. For example, the owner of Dongaiwai Hotel gets up at 2: 00 a.m. every day to buy food, and the owner of Hongni can accurately tell how many ounces are left after processing 1 kg of vegetables. Without modesty, every boss in Wenzhou is a skilled worker in his own enterprise, which most bosses in other places, large and small, may not be able to do.
Ye Maoxi is a native of Aojiang Town, Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province. As early as the 1980s, in order to develop his own career, he came to Beijing to start a business and started a silk screen printing career. At that time, there were only four or five people, a simple factory building and several old hand-printed equipment. Due to the weak technical force and low efficiency, the quality of printed products is also poor. When the China Screen Printing Association held a training class, Ye Maoxi immediately signed up for the training, mastered the technical skills, and successfully screen printed posters with three colors in China. From then on, whenever he saw a new screen printing product abroad, he studied hard and tried hard until he could print it successfully.
Ye Maoxi's diligence is also manifested in other aspects. For example, in order to promote business, he can travel around 18 cities in 20 days; For the implementation of a project, he can go on a business trip at night and talk about business during the day, without rest for three days and three nights in a row, which many people can't do.
It is a helpless choice to suffer hardships in the entrepreneurial stage, and it is forced to suffer hardships. The boss himself should take more actions and work more, which can not only save the cost of hiring people, but also keep abreast of customer needs and market conditions, and more importantly, temper his will, so that he can face all business challenges with a calm mind in the future. Taking the initiative to suffer hardships after the career is stable is to make the career bigger, encourage yourself and remind yourself not to forget the bitterness of starting a business.
God helps those who help themselves.
Diligence is the magic weapon for all entrepreneurs to succeed. "Suffering hardships" and "starting a business" are often linked. At the beginning of starting a business, factors such as insufficient funds, small scale, insufficient popularity and crowding out of large enterprises will plague the survival of small enterprises and even drag them to the brink of death. Hard work is the magic weapon to tide over the difficulties at this time.
Goldlion tie is now a world-famous brand, and Ceng Xianzi is also called "the king of ties". However, Ceng Xianzi's fate is full of hardships. He once pushed a trolley at the entrance of a shopping center and walked around the streets to sell his tie. It is through such efforts and fighting spirit that he has surpassed again and again and achieved today's success.
Anyone who knows Li, the boss of Zhejiang Jianye Group, will vividly describe him like this: always full of passion. As long as someone says there are new projects, they will definitely go and find out for themselves; He has many comfortable offices, but he doesn't sit there for more than 15 minutes every day; If you call and ask him where he is. He always answers, "I'm on my way." Why he is so busy is the "sequela" left by his hard work.
The first generation of Wenzhou entrepreneurs will never forget their sufferings by train. Li was trampled because his head was under the chair; The toilet sewage flowed through a whole carriage, leaving him in an embarrassing position of being sticky all over. He once lamented: at that time, how could he think that we would have our own car today! Therefore, Li believes that as long as he is willing to endure hardships and work hard, there is no reason not to succeed.
Li Yu 197 1 came to Yichang, Hubei alone, participated in the construction of a key national construction project at that time, and became an supernumerary member of a construction team. At that time, Li's purpose was to change his destiny through diligence. So he decided that only by working hard can there be a way out. If someone works eight hours, he will work 10 hours. Although at that time, it was not more work, but everyone's salary was the same.
Heaven rewards diligence, and Li finally reaps the fruits of hard work. Three months later, Li became the platoon leader of the rock platoon, enjoying the same treatment as regular workers. In the first month, he got 70 yuan. After half a year, he became the warehouse keeper and team leader, leading a large number of regular employees. Less than five years after he entered the factory, he became the captain of Luoxi Construction Team. 1979, under a good historical background, Li became the contractor of Luoxi Construction Team. The next year, when others were still envious of ten thousand households, he had earned hundreds of thousands back.
Now, he already owns several enterprises. Why is he still so busy? Even busier than his manager. Li said to:
"Many friends advised me that I can sit in my office as a shopkeeper of cutting like you do now. In fact, my career has become my hobby and fun. I started this business myself. Giving up when I still have plenty of energy means that I have given up the pursuit of life and stayed away from the fun of life. Although it is not hard, I am not happy or full. These are my real thoughts.
"Although I am no longer the young man who used to struggle for food and clothing, my life is still very simple. I never take a lunch break, which is a habit formed as early as Hubei. At that time, I led 500 people to work from 5 o'clock to evening 10. Until today, I haven't learned to enjoy it. I don't drink or smoke. A bowl of rice and a plate of vegetables are enough for dinner. It's simple and satisfying. My greatest pleasure is playing chess. I sat for a long time.
"Doing business is like acting. Now that I'm on stage, I'm going to perform the play well, but it's time for the curtain call, so I can only move forward, and there is no retreat. People are like this, living like this, and constantly surpassing themselves. I can't sit and enjoy life. How much money I earn is a natural thing, and I can't force it. What I want is spiritual satisfaction and inner enrichment.
"Someone asked me when to rest. I never thought about it. To tell the truth, I'm used to it, but I can't rest. Rest has become an abnormal state. In my opinion, doing is not necessarily bitter; Playing is not necessarily cool. "
Heaven rewards diligence. Countless Wenzhou bosses have gained today's pride and dignity, as well as a decent and rich life with their hard work spirit. This is the best reward for hard work and the best proof of "Heaven rewards diligence". No pains, no gains. Wenzhou boss planted hard work, and gained abundant, hopeful and substantial results.
