One of the most legendary people in China is chaozhou people (also known as Chaoshan people), who is recognized by the world as "the Jew of the East", claiming that "where there is tide, there are tide merchants" and "where there is market, there are Chaoshan people". Historically, Chaozhou merchants stood side by side with Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants, and became one of the three most powerful and far-reaching business gangs in China. Nowadays, Chaozhou businessmen are the richest ethnic group among Chinese, and they are regarded as the most dynamic and profitable businessmen in China and even in the world. In 2004, in a list of the richest Chinese in the world, according to their place of origin, Chaoshan people in Guangdong are the richest, with 60 people on the list, with a total wealth of 82.05 billion US dollars, among which Li Ka-shing, Chen and others are representatives. In 2006, Li Ka-shing, the richest Chinese in the world, was born in Chaoan, and Huang Guangyu, the president of Gome, the richest man in Chinese mainland, was also born in Chaoyang, Shantou. Chaozhou people holds the economic lifeline of Guangdong Pearl River Delta. Among the listed companies in Hong Kong, Shang Chao enterprises account for 1/3. Southeast Asia is home to Chinese in Chaozhou, with nearly100000 people living in Chaozhou, accounting for more than 80% of Chinese in Chaozhou in the world. The image of Chaozhou affects the social economy of Southeast Asia. Chaozhou, originally a small place with a "national corner and a provincial tail", how to create legendary achievements, the local identity of Chaoshan people and the spirit of holding a group are the key factors for Chaoshan businessmen to become brilliant.
Chaozhou people is probably the most powerful group in China. To what extent is chaozhou people united? As long as one chaozhou people is bullied, all chaozhou people will help. It is said that if a chaozhou people is bullied in a street outside the city, chaozhou people, who occasionally encounters it, will immediately help the stranger to move his fist. So generally no one dares to provoke chaozhou people outside. It is understood that the earliest records can be traced back to the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, when chaozhou people, under the organization of national heroes, United and vowed to fight against the Yuan Army; The second time was in the Ming Dynasty. In order to deal with the enemy, Qi Jiguang organized local soldiers and civilians to practice self-defense in Chaozhou. The third time, Lin Zexu destroyed opium in Humen. This long-standing unity has synthesized chaozhou people's character today, which is incomparable unity.
Chaozhou people's unity is also reflected in taking care of each other. When a family is in trouble, everyone helps each other. Most shops in Guangdong are run by chaozhou people. The start-up capital, purchase channels, experience and so on needed to open a small shop are all generously helped by fellow villagers. Chaoshan people's extensive business information exchange and cooperation spirit make Chaoshan people stand out among businessmen. Chaozhou people, a gang of ten, a gang of hundred, gradually controlled the operation of shops in Guangdong and other places. Previously, Huang Guangyu and Xu Zhongmin, former chairman of Zhongguancun, were both chaozhou people. As early as when Huang Guangyu started his business in Beijing, due to lack of funds, he often took the goods from Chaozhou villagers first and then paid. Today, despite Huang Guangyu's detention, Huang Guangyu's family can still get the support of fellow villagers in Chaoshan area.
In Guangdong and overseas, we can often see hundreds of stores in electronic or clothing malls, all of which are opened in chaozhou people, all doing the same business, but the competition is healthy. Because there is a culture in chaozhou people: as long as a person makes money, he will meet everyone in the same village to make money together. And honesty is the distinctive feature of this nation. When chaozhou people buys things and borrows money from each other, most of them don't need to write IOUs and sign contracts, relying on the word "promise" and the "Chaozhou culture" of keeping promises. Therefore, a true friend does not necessarily need a thousand words of advice. Just write an iou and sign a contract-a true friend promises with his heart, which is more reliable than any contract. At the same time, when you regard a person as a true friend, it means that you have a solemn promise-you can't hurt or betray each other at any time and place.
Chaoshan people hold a group and have strong cohesion. There is an old saying in Chaoshan: "Beat the tiger brothers, beat the father and son", "One chopstick is easy to break, but ten chopsticks are not easy to break", "It's better to make a fist with your fingers open" and "two people together will break". Blood relationship is the natural adhesive of human solidarity and cooperation, and family concept can play an active role in the traditional business activities of Chaozhou merchants. In the face of strong external pressure, people of the same family, the same clan or even the same nation, with one heart and one mind, help each other in the same boat, have special advantages, and business operations are easy to succeed.
Chaoshan people recognize fellow villagers differently from other places. There is no hierarchy between fellow villagers, and the rich and the poor interact equally. Chaoshan people have various societies all over the world, including guilds, chambers of commerce, fellow villagers' associations and various art, entertainment, religious and charitable organizations. At present, there are more than 100 Chaoshan commercial groups registered in Hong Kong alone, which is unmatched by people in other places. These groups help each other, closely unite and safeguard common interests, and they also support and encourage each other. This sense of identity of geography and blood is of great benefit to Chaoshan people in doing business.
Therefore, people in a place, a province and even the Chinese nation should strengthen the consciousness of "holding a group", which will enhance our cohesion and centripetal force and bring great benefits to our development and coping with difficulties.
