Chapter 6 Making money is not the only purpose of life

When a person pursues entrepreneurship as a realization of the value of life, it is not just a means of making money, but a part of life and the stage of life. Zheng Yue, a native of Wenzhou, is known as the "Bright Messenger" in Tibet. In 1980, Zheng Yueqing, who was only 20 years old, left his hometown of Yueqing and came to Lhasa.He started to do carpentry and relied on craftsmanship for a living, and he did it for 5 years.He felt the hardships of life of the local Tibetans. They live in mud houses, and some areas do not even have access to electricity.He is determined to help the local people use electric lights.After a lot of hard work, a lot of electrical accessories were shipped from his hometown of Wenzhou, and an electrical distribution department was established, in order to improve Tibet's backward power supply facilities.

Later, he discovered that Tibet has been unable to supply electricity for a long time. The most important reason is that due to the high altitude, low temperature, and harsh construction environment, it is impossible to establish a large-scale hydropower equipment supply station. Therefore, in 2000, he raised funds to establish Tibet Huadong Hydropower Equipment Complete Co., Ltd., which specializes in providing equipment and installation for small hydropower stations.He often has to run a long way. Due to the inconvenient traffic, it is very difficult for the car to drive in the snow. When the car overturns, he lifts it up and continues walking.Once, when the weather was very cold, he went to northern Tibet to check and accept the hydropower station. There were 8 cars with him, and he was in the last car.When passing an ice surface, only his car was stuck in the ice hole and could not move.Everyone pushed for more than an hour to no avail. Fortunately, a large truck came later and was rescued.

Zheng Yueyue has fully integrated into the life of Tibetans, sharing joys and sorrows with local residents, and he has regarded his career as a part of his life. In fact, there are many Wenzhou businessmen like Zheng Yue. They live scattered all over the world. On the one hand, they run their own businesses. In the eyes of Wenzhou people, entrepreneurship is a pursuit of life and a special way of life, which will accompany a person's life.When doing business, one should not care too much about how much profit can be obtained and how much wealth can be accumulated in the end. The important thing is to realize one's pursuit and ideal through entrepreneurship.As a Wen businessman described: "Failures and setbacks are unavoidable in the process of starting a business, but I take all of them lightly. Every success or failure is like the natural ups and downs of a vast river. They are just the whole river. A part of the river, the life value of the river is realized in the ups and downs again and again, while failure and success seem insignificant."

When it comes to people in Wenzhou doing business, many people naturally think that these bosses have made enough money and don’t worry about food and clothing, but they always work hard every day. What is the purpose of doing business?Why bother making so much money?It's actually easy to understand.People live for decades and always have to do something. Some people sing, some write, some make scientific inventions, and some start businesses and become bosses.Doing business is also a way of life.Therefore, these bosses are interpreting stories of success or failure in the mall, and those business experiences and experiences are their lives. "If one thing becomes a way of life, it becomes a part of life, and you can't give it up." This is the main reason why Wenzhou businessmen have been undefeated in the mall all year round.

Wu Xiaobin is a warm businessman who has worked hard in Japan for many years. During the ten years in Japan, he created one wealth myth after another.He has done barbecues, set up street stalls, washed public toilets, and is often ridiculed and ridiculed by the Japanese.He cannot forget these life experiences.He started from nothing to become a billionaire, from a migrant worker to the boss of more than 10 companies, from simple traditional industries to high-tech industries such as LCD mobile TV.Having achieved success and fame, he is worth more than 100 million yuan and has a great influence in the Japanese industry, but now he is still struggling in his career. Is it because he wants to make more money?No, but for a person's dignity, Japan has invited him many times to become a Chinese citizen, but he has never been tempted.He said: My wife and children are all of Japanese nationality, but I have not become a Japanese citizen so far. I am proud of being a Chinese, and I will also dedicate my strength to my motherland.

Wenzhou people realize the value of their life through business and entrepreneurship.Wu Xiaobin showed us a truth: "Making money is not the only goal of starting a business."Life is like a play. If you choose the big stage of doing business and the good role of the boss, you have to play it out to your heart's content.In the practice of doing business, we must not only experience the thrill of making money, but also demonstrate our own value in the struggle. The meaning of doing business is much higher than making money itself.In business, being a boss not only makes money, but also shoulders a kind of social responsibility.In the process of starting a business, the boss needs to gather all kinds of information, unblock various channels, utilize various talents, complete various projects, and finally realize capital appreciation.Therefore, any businessman must know how to operate, employ people, and conduct himself. Not everyone can do all of these things.In this process, we must always strengthen ourselves and enrich ourselves through continuous learning and summing up experience.

The reason why Wenzhou people are called the Jews of the East is not just that they make huge wealth in the process of doing business, but also form a kind of precious spiritual wealth at the same time.These spiritual wealth form the Wenzhou spirit. The reason why Wenzhou people become the most profitable and profitable group in China is inseparable from this Wenzhou spirit.In fact, the literacy shown in the process of doing business plays a big role in the career.For example, learn to introspect, have a bright eye when seeing money, make money with professionalism, be good at participating in competition, pay attention to conscience, and even have warnings to clean oneself and so on.

◎Money is the source of everything in business, and everything is easy to do with money——Money is an indispensable condition for doing business, but it is not the only condition. Having money does not necessarily make things successful, and not necessarily without money Nothing happens. ◎Making money is the only goal of doing business——making money is the business purpose of a businessman, but it should be one of the main contents of life values.
