Chapter 5 Whatever you vote for, you will get a fever

There is such a joke in "The Complete Life of Graham": An oil prospector dies and ascends to heaven. St. Peter stopped him and said: "Your grades are enough to get you to heaven, but have you noticed? There is no room in heaven for those who engage in oil. I can no longer keep you in heaven." The oil prospector thought for a while, then asked St. Peter: "Can I have a word with my colleagues who already live in heaven?" This request was not excessive, and St. Peter agreed. Sure enough, the oil prospector only said one word to his colleagues. He shouted: "There is oil in hell!"

As soon as his words fell, those colleagues who lived in heaven ran out in a swarm, and ran towards the direction of hell.The only oil explorer left in heaven was the oil prospector, so St. Peter invited him to live in heaven. Unexpectedly, the oil prospector hesitated and declined. He said, "Maybe there is oil in hell?" St. Peter was stunned to hear this. There are indeed a group of people in this world, and quite a group of people, who like to join in the fun, and follow what others do. As a result, just like the unlucky oil prospector, they are always squeezed and cannot find their own space.But it is undeniable that there are also some shrewd people who don’t like to follow others’ buttocks and have their own independent thinking. Sometimes, they even let their powerful attraction attract others and let others follow their buttocks to increase their momentum.Wenzhou people belong to the latter.

When investing, there are some investors who are called "pick-and-go" investors. They dare not take risks, dare not toss, and rarely take the initiative to explore the market.Seeing which business is more popular recently and which project is more profitable, I just follow the past and share a share with everyone. As a result, not only can I only get a small share, but it also arouses the hatred of my peers. Quite different from ordinary people who "invest in whatever is popular", Wenzhou people never follow the trend, and can always create miracles of "investing in what is popular"—from the "real estate speculators" sweeping the property market all over the country to the "speculators" who conquered Shanxi The "coal ball", the "fried cotton ball" that attacked Xinjiang, and even the later "fried oil ball" and "fried electricity ball" all illustrate this point.

Why can Wenzhou people create miracles repeatedly?Three factors suffice to explain: 1.Wenzhou people dare to take risks Most people's thinking when investing is: Be stable and reliable. If there is no precedent to follow, try not to get involved, otherwise what should you do if you lose the market? People in Wenzhou usually think this way: it is a good thing that no one invests in this field, which means that no one is robbing me of profits. Aren't you afraid that if you lose all your money, don't you? People who are afraid of the cold before doing things and then afraid of tigers are very difficult to achieve great things, whether it is in the economic field, officialdom, or other industries, this is the case in all ages and in all countries.

Wang Junyao, a Wenzhou businessman known as "the first person to enter the aviation industry with private capital", has grown from an ordinary Wenzhou youth to a man who has been baptized by the market economy because of his "superhuman courage and courage (as the New York Times says)". Excellent entrepreneurs, let people see the inevitable connection between courage and success. During the Spring Festival travel season in 1991, Wang Junyao usually took a bus back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year, lamenting the slow speed of the car, and naturally some people joked about going by plane.Hearing this, Wang Junyao couldn't help thinking about the plane: People want to fly faster, why don't I charter the plane?

Do whatever comes to your mind.Wang Junyao immediately investigated the source of passengers, and at the same time submitted a report to the Hunan Civil Aviation Administration, stating that she wanted to contract the Changsha-Wenzhou route. Private charter routes, which was still whimsical at the time, the Hunan Civil Aviation Administration simply took this report as a joke.But Wang Junyao was very firm. He not only repeatedly emphasized the feasibility of this matter, but also tried his best to dispel the doubts of the Civil Aviation Administration: "I will bear the risk myself, and the Civil Aviation Administration does not need to take any risk. I can pay a deposit of several hundred thousand in advance, which means that I have already paid in advance. The risk has been borne, so that the Civil Aviation Administration does not have to worry about any operational risks." The two parties discussed repeatedly, and finally Wang Junyao went to many departments and wrote countless chapters, and the two parties finally completed the agreement.At that time, the air route between Changsha and Wenzhou was opened. When the passenger plane from Changsha landed smoothly at Wenzhou Airport, the bold Wang Junyao finally proved the feasibility of the private charter route with practice.

In order to further expand his business, Wang Junyao also founded Wenzhou Tianlong Air Charter Co., Ltd., which is the first private air charter company in China. In 2002, Wang Junyao, who had already made some achievements in this market, invested his own JuneYao Group in China Eastern Airlines Wuhan Co., Ltd., becoming the first domestic private enterprise to participate in the state-owned air transport industry.The following year, JuneYao Group was approved by the government to obtain the right to purchase the airport from a private enterprise, which was still the first time such an investment was approved in China.

In the matter of private investment routes, Wang Junyao has created many firsts in China, and the word "one moment at a time" does not seem to be enough to describe her courage.Every time Wang Junyao talked about this matter, she couldn't restrain her excitement: "(Since then) my personal image and life path have changed! If life is a big stage, that day, as an actor, I passed the interview and was allowed to appear on the stage. " The deeds of Wang Junyao once again proved a truth - the first person to do something is always remembered by people, success belongs to the first person who eats crabs, and the first person who is popular is also the first person, and those who follow the crowd are often remembered by everyone annihilation.

2.Wenzhou people are very huggable Speaking of the Shanghai "Axe Gang", not only did people in old Shanghai change their colors when they heard about them, even today's people are still shocked and afraid when they see them on film and television. ——If you imagine the desperate Saburo who killed Zhou Xingchi in the same uniform, even if you have superb skills, will you shudder when you see this scene?What we are afraid of is not only the "axes", but "many, many" axes. The scene was too shocking. Wenzhou people have created an "axe gang" in the economic field.For example, the Wenzhou real estate speculators group, the first Wenzhou real estate speculators group consisted of 157 people. They bought more than 100 houses from Shanghai in three days, and gathered more than 50 million cash to pour into the Shanghai real estate market. This caused quite a shock in the Shanghai property market.At the same time, other Wenzhou bosses have formed alliances and formed real estate speculation groups to travel to real estate markets across the country.Wherever they go, they stir up waves in the local property market.All kinds of Wenzhou fried dumplings became popular in this way. What kind of fried dumplings they want to form, and what products they want to make become popular.

Not to mention the various speculative groups that have become popular, even small-scale group groups to make money are daunting enough.For example, there is a Wanbohong clothing city in Linyi, Shandong, which is now the highest-grade clothing wholesale city in Shandong, and the business is booming.The owners of this wholesale city are a few people from Wenzhou. They used to run the fabric business in Keqiao. After discovering the market in Linyi, they joined forces to build a market.The so-called "Brothers are of the same heart, their profits cut through gold", within two years, they have earned hundreds of millions of profits.

Wenzhou people wandering around, although they do not have an advantage in the number of people wherever they go, but with the huge amount of money in their hands and the spirit of teamwork, they can set foot in any field and stir up waves with one stone.Because holding a group is not only a cooperative relationship, but also a team spirit. Legend has it that lions are not afraid of anything, but wolves.Because the wolf pack is a team, the team has the effect of 1+1>2. Wenzhou people are well versed in the truth, so wherever they go, they first look for the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce and Wenzhou fellow villagers. Everyone writes in groups, helps each other, and respects each other, forming a very shocking force.Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Wenzhou people live in all over the world, but they never have the self-pity of "being a stranger in a foreign land alone". 3. Wenzhou people have a lot of money We all know that people in Wenzhou are rich, how rich are they?For them, money is not only used to meet the needs of life, but also a business that can be operated. Investment is a big business with "money" as the protagonist. Zhou Dewen said: "The circulating capital in the hands of Wenzhou people is about 600 billion yuan, and the investment is almost repeated." How much private capital is there in Wenzhou?In addition to the 600 billion statement, some people think it is more, 750 billion, 800 billion.These different data may be due to different statistical time or changes in locations.The amount of data is not the key to the problem, the key is that they are all owners of huge sums of money. Due to the failure of investing in coal and cotton in recent years, Wenzhou Capital did not choose a more thrilling investment project for a while.In response to this, in 2011, the Wenzhou Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau released the "Wenzhou Individual Overseas Direct Investment Pilot Plan", which immediately attracted widespread attention from domestic and foreign economic experts, media, and capital owners in Wenzhou, especially the bosses in Wenzhou. , would like to know the feasibility of this scheme. This shows the huge capital of Wenzhou.However, with a huge amount of money, can you speculate on anything? As the saying goes: If you have money, you can do things easily, and if you have money, you have the ability to manipulate the market. Some netizens said unceremoniously that Wenzhou people are terrible, and they raise prices for whatever they speculate. Take real estate speculators as an example.In layman's terms, when the developer builds a house, the purchasing power of ordinary people is insufficient, and the housing price cannot go up. The real estate market is in a downturn.But the Wenzhou real estate speculators came. With huge sums of money, they didn't care about the house price. They bought several houses at once, and all transactions were in cash.This will bring a false impression to the housing market: the purchasing power of the masses has gone up!The housing market is on fire!So the developer raised the house price, and the house that has become the property of Wenzhou people naturally increased in value.So the developer said again: Buying a house now can add value, so ordinary people who had no purchasing power, like oil prospectors going to hell, rushed to invest money in the real estate market, and the real estate market seemed to be even hotter. Because there is a huge amount of money, there is no hesitation in all investments. Whichever field the huge amount of money is invested in, that field will be popular.The terrible Wenzhou people are so scary, and huge sums of money are their deadly weapon to manipulate the market. Because they dare to take risks, because they hold a group, and because they have money in their hands, Wenzhou people have become a terrible "power", which makes them invincible in the investment field.Coupled with Wenzhou people's spirit of daring to endure hardships, their sense of integrity when dealing with people, their almost religious desire for money, and other factors, these factors have made the already powerful "Wenzhou power" even more legendary.Many favorable investment factors have jointly created the myth of "whatever you invest in, you will have a fever" among Wenzhou people.
