Chapter 52 Learn to resist temptation on March 9

To learn to be good, you have to resist the temptation—to be a good person is to be a good person, and so is to be a good company. To this day, Vantone executives still have "three local policies" for themselves: first, no transfer of assets, second, no foreign passports, and third, no pursuit of second sources of interests.Why do some private entrepreneurs apply for foreign passports? Maybe he has done something bad and is ready to escape at any time.Feng Lun and the others didn't think about it this way, because they thought they had never done anything wrong, and they didn't need to run away or transfer assets.

To learn Vantone well, we need to start from the early days of Vantone’s establishment.When Vantone first established the company, the company did not make any money and did not pay wages for four months, but no one got kickbacks.Feng Lun was in charge of negotiating the first business with the other party, and lowered the price by negotiating kickbacks. Later, Feng Lun returned to the company with a bag of cash wrapped in newspaper and handed it over to the partners.At that time, if Feng Lun took a wad from it, they didn't know, but Feng Lun didn't do that. To be a good person, you must "not deceive the dark room", that is, you cannot expect others not to know.Later Vantone formed a tradition: none of the company's partners ever talked outside to get kickbacks.Later, the number of shareholders of Vantone increased, but none of the partners involved in Vantone's specific work discussed kickbacks.

Resisting the temptation cannot be done only by faith and principles, but also by concrete measures, especially those measures that do not leave you a way out.
