Chapter 39 Investment Heart Sutra: Overseas should hold together to keep warm

Since ancient times, there has been a popular saying in China's economic circles: peers are enemies. Among peers, the biggest relationship is competition.And competition is a very "private ownership" thing, Marx called it "socialized mass production under private ownership".The result of blind competition not only produces enemies and affects the harmony among peers, but also leads to an "economic crisis", which is not beneficial to oneself, is not conducive to peers, and is not conducive to the stability and development of the market.Therefore, the essence of malicious competition is a kind of business behavior of "harming others and benefiting oneself".

Nevertheless, there has always been a good show called "competition" in the Chinese and foreign markets since ancient times. Everyone squeezes out opponents for their own economic interests and enjoys it; being excluded by opponents struggles in it; everyone crowds each other , the competition is more brutal, so "the mall is like war" has become a famous saying. In the hustle and bustle of economic competition, Wenzhou people are the only ones who stand aloof, because they have been pursuing a market without competition all their lives. Interests. Regrettably, there is always a gap between reality and ideals. The wish of a certain person or a certain group of people cannot become the common wish of 6 billion people in the world in a short period of time. It is impossible for Wenzhou people to make investment convenient. It is also convenient for the whole world, and the pure "everyone makes a fortune together" should be a product of the Datong society, which is difficult to achieve under the current economic conditions.

That being the case, as Wenzhou people who share a common "religious belief", it is natural to walk together. When doing business in a foreign land, it is especially necessary to display the "group spirit". What does Baotuan mean to Wenzhou people investing overseas? A Wenzhou businessman who used to do business in France talked about the Wenzhou fellows in Paris, and introduced that the Wenzhou fellows are very loyal to each other, very united, and very united.When people invest, there is a characteristic: whatever business makes money, they flock to invest in this field frantically.For example, the handbag market in Paris was very good for a while, so 60% of Wenzhou businessmen invested in making handbags.Although there is competition between each other, they do not exclude each other.If anyone was excluded, it was the Jews.Aren't the Jews smart?They work eight hours a day, so Wenzhou people work 13 hours, so that the price of their products is lower than that of Jewish products, and the market is better.As a result, the most shrewd Jews in the world were squeezed out of the market by Wenzhou people who were born to be united and hard-working.

It can be seen from this that Wenzhou people actually know how to compete, but their competition is not against Wenzhou counterparts, but "other races".The summary of Zhou Dahu, the person in charge of Zhejiang Dahu Lighter Co., Ltd., I think is very reasonable: Wenzhou people are weak when they start doing business. If they do not form a group, it is difficult to gain a firm foothold in the market; Help Wenzhou people solve some practical problems. By extension, in the international market, Wenzhou people who have created a foreign land, regardless of whether they have strong capital or not, belong to the disadvantaged group of "weak power" in a foreign country.If everyone does not work together as a team, not to mention the development and growth of the enterprise, whether it can gain a firm foothold and survive is a major issue.

As the process of globalization continues to accelerate, economic and trade exchanges between countries will become more extensive, and economic exchanges between people from different countries will become more extensive and in-depth.Wenzhou people who have made some achievements in the international market, although facing an investment environment that is getting better day by day, they still cannot forget the Wenzhou spirit and the history of Wenzhou people hugging each other for warmth.This unique Wenzhou model was the guarantee for Wenzhou people to live and work in a foreign country in the past, and it will also be the guarantee for the development and growth of Wenzhou brand in the future.

History is changing, times are changing, and the investment environment is changing. What remains unchanged is the unique spiritual wealth of Wenzhou people.Only what belongs to the nation is what belongs to the world. Although this kind of collectivism spirit is only the unique development model of Wenzhou people for the time being, the Wenzhou phenomenon that was born under this spirit will definitely make more and more people learn and learn from it. imitate.I believe that in the not-too-distant future, this kind of collectivism in business will not only be the unique wealth of Wenzhou people, but something that shines brightly and has national characteristics will sooner or later become the common wealth of the whole world.Therefore, the spirit of collectivism in the economic field belongs to both Wenzhou and the world.
