Chapter 3 Wenzhou people are rich, everyone on the earth knows

Wenzhou people are rich!This is something everyone on earth knows. How rich are they?Take a look at the scenario below: The private cars parked in the living area of ​​Wenzhou University include Hummer, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Toyota, Buick, Porsche, Cadillac, and off-road vehicles, etc. You might ask: "What's wrong with having a car? It's not uncommon to have a car these days!" But you know what?The owners of these cars are all college students in Wenzhou, and the security guards had to issue special passes for them to prevent them from being indistinguishable from the cars of their parents or teachers.As for the means of transportation for most of our college students, I am afraid that it would be good to buy a bicycle and ride it on campus.

A Wenzhou native in a certain place organized a "Women's Association", and there were about a few hundred women in the association.Among these hundreds of people, most of the wives are "rich women" with an annual salary of more than 500,000 yuan.It is said that this "Wife Association" can easily raise several hundred million yuan. Although modern society advocates equality between men and women, in the traditional concept of Chinese people, women generally do not earn as much money as men.In a group, it is only accidental that women earn more money than men.In other words, the mainstream of society is: men earn more money than women.

At this time, when you see so many rich Wenzhou wives, can you imagine that Wenzhou men are richer?There are only two kinds of people in this world: men and women.Both men and women in Wenzhou are very good at making money and very rich. There are as many rich Wenzhou people as a cow hair. The modern history of China is a history of blood and tears, and the number of Chinese people killed by foreigners is as numerous as a cow's hair.But hiding in one place, foreigners generally dare not go to harass easily, and that is the ancestral hall of Wenzhou merchants. Because Wenzhou people are rich and powerful, the so-called "economic base supports the superstructure", the status of the rich is more noble, and the power is greater.Foreigners are also afraid of rich Wenzhou people.

Wenzhou people have supported a group of economic experts. These experts have been studying the so-called "Wenzhou model" and "Wenzhou phenomenon" all day long, wondering why Wenzhou people are rich. Incidentally, the history, geography, and psychology of Wenzhou people Science and other aspects are investigated as research objects. It is precisely because "Wenzhou people are rich" has become a common perception and a common phenomenon in this society. This phenomenon is like a novel, and the mysteries in it can never be fully explored, so some people simply study the Wenzhou model as a career. Therefore, "Wenzhou people" has become a vocabulary with special cultural meaning.

If Americans are afraid of Jews—because although the United States is very rich, the wealth is usually earned by Jews—then in recent years, Jews have begun to fear Wenzhou people. The Jews are known as the most profitable nation in the world, but Wenzhou people's ability to make money is not inferior to them at all, and it seems that they sometimes surpass them.Take Paris as an example. In the past 20 years, the number of Wenzhou people in Paris has reached 150,000. They compete with Jews in the 2nd, 3rd and 11th districts of Paris. The market that the Jews have been operating for many years has been gradually taken over and has become the territory of Wenzhou people.

Wenzhou businessmen are the group with the fastest capital accumulation in the world. According to statistics, in the 1950s and 1960s, Japan was the fastest growing economy in the world, with an average growth rate of 8.6%.After the 1980s, China became the place where the global economic growth rate was at an average rate of 9.4%.At the same time, Wenzhou's economic growth rate is as high as 15% to 20% on average!This speed is only the average speed, and temperature merchants with a maximum speed of 50% to 60% can be found everywhere. People in Wenzhou dare to invest in real estate, land, coal mines, airplanes, motorboats and other industries that ordinary people dare not take risks easily.

All Wenzhou people are engaged in business, and even the old lady who walks tremblingly can make money. Wenzhou people donated money without heartache, and donated hundreds of thousands or millions of them with a wave. People in Wenzhou do not need an IOU to lend money to others, even ordinary friends. ... We can find many examples of Wenzhou people being rich, just as Wenzhou people have many ways to make money. Wenzhou people are so rich, why are we not envious or curious?Why are they so profitable?Why are we not as rich as Wenzhou people?Why aren't we as lucky as they are under the same circumstances?There are poor and rich people all over the world. Why are Wenzhou people rich in groups?

Why? Sartre said: "To exist is to be reasonable".The entire group of Wenzhou people are relatively richer than the general population, so there must be a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon. what kind of explanation?The following little story may enlighten you. Those who are familiar with the button market will definitely know Wenzhou businessman Zou Wencong. Like most Wenzhou people, Zou Wencong started investing and starting a business after graduating from middle school.Since his family was too poor to support him, he borrowed 100 yuan, bought a batch of goods from the button market, and started to open up his first business with this batch of goods.But his way of doing business may not be acceptable to people in most places.

At that time, a button could only earn a few cents in profit. Zou Wencong didn't think the profit was small, so he started selling buttons in the streets and alleys with his bag on his back.There is no fixed sales place, and no fixed customers. He just carries a bag and sells aimlessly. When he encounters a market town, he stops to set up a stall for a few days.However, this is not the hardest part. The most troublesome thing is that when encountering ostracism from urban management or local people, as soon as someone finds fault, he immediately packs up his bag and runs away.With such a difficult business, he never thought of changing his career to do other things.When the buttons in the bag were about to be sold out, he started to walk back with the bag on his back. When he arrived at his hometown in Wenzhou, the buttons in the bag had just been sold out.Then, with the money he earned, he stuffed some buttons, and went on selling them around in the old fashion.

People in Wenzhou never dislike small money, and they never dislike trouble. Relying on such troublesome and trivial investment methods, Zou Wencong has more and more capital and more and more ways to do business.Finally, after several years of accumulation, this button merchant who roams the streets has finally opened up a big market - investing in Dalian clothing, and finally got his first large and regular customer.He soon set up a store in Dalian and opened a button processing factory, specializing in the sales and processing of buttons, which can be regarded as the initial success of his business.

Seeing this, you may suddenly realize: it turns out that Wenzhou people are not afraid of trouble.This is easy!I can do it too!But is hard work sure to make a fortune?Why are there so many people in the world who work hard all their lives but get nothing? Then look at the case, or Wenzhou people. In recent years, the United States has frequently carried out military strikes against Afghanistan.In order to ensure the security and stability of the border area, the Chinese government once temporarily closed the border between China and Afghanistan.Wenzhou people, who have always been known for their boldness, seem to have never thought that doing business in Afghanistan is life-threatening, and the business has never stopped. When the war in Afghanistan ceased for a while, Jin Xiangdong and Fang Shengping, who had been doing business in Pakistan, moved from Pakistan to Afghanistan to look for business opportunities.At that time, Afghanistan was still very chaotic, and people often took advantage of the chaos to loot. It seemed that it would be more difficult for outsiders to do business there.Jin Xiangdong and Fang Shengping, who are good at being unconventional, hired four militiamen with tanks and live ammunition at a salary equivalent to 150 yuan per person per day to escort them to do business. It is relatively easy to seek money in troubled times. The shrewdness of Wenzhou people allowed Jin Xiangdong and Fang Shengping to quickly discover the investment project—providing low-voltage electrical appliances for the Taliban government departments, and easily received orders worth millions of dollars from the Taliban government departments. . Of course, they also took a great risk. Jin Xiangdong and Fang Shengping were arrested for taking photos of passers-by in Afghanistan without permission. Thanks to their good relationship with the client and the appearance of the Taliban Minister of Water and Electricity, they escaped unharmed.Even so, their enthusiasm for doing business in Afghanistan has not faded.At the gathering of Wenzhou businessmen, they even came to the conclusion that "after Afghanistan became a powder keg, Kashgar did not panic-buy or stockpile daily necessities, which had little impact on business."It seems that Wenzhou people in Afghanistan are not easy to evacuate. Looking for business opportunities in a crisis, do you know how to do this? The seemingly simple or complicated "business skills" of Wenzhou people are not what we see on the surface. In a word: Wenzhou people are very rich, and there are many ways for Wenzhou people to make money. Only by carefully studying the tricks can you become a rich "Wenzhou person".
