Money is never enough to be earned, and there will always be a day when it will be spent.Instead of leaving money to the next generation, teach them how to make money and how to manage money. Pan Peicong, the general manager of Tingyu Group, has two daughters. Although he has a lot of money, Pan Peicong attaches great importance to educating his daughters about wealth, and controls their daily expenses. He often takes them to poor places in the countryside to see and experience . When my daughter was very young, I was very envious when I saw other people's children with pianos.So he made a request to his mother, but Pan Peicong did not immediately agree, but said: "The piano is very expensive, and it costs a lot of money. Mom has to go through this year's work and save up the money to buy it for you."

A year later, when the daughters got together in front of their mother and repeated the old story, she deliberately said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, the piano is too expensive, and the money my mother has saved this year is not enough, so I have to buy it again." A year of hard work is enough." In the third year, the daughters' desire for the piano finally touched the mother.Pan Pecong decided to satisfy them.She went to the bank to withdraw 30,000 yuan in cash, and specially asked the staff to replace it with a large pile of 10 yuan.Then, she took the money home and piled it up in front of her daughter, pointing to the pile of money and told her daughter: "Mom will buy you a piano tomorrow, but you must know that it is not easy for mother to earn so much money, so you must Cherish the piano and study hard. Do you understand?"

Now her daughters practice the piano with special care, because they know that this piano is not easy to come by. 30,000 yuan is nothing to Pan Peicong. His daughter's wish could have been easily realized, but it took the wealthy Mr. Pan three years.His intention is very clear, which is to let his daughter understand that "money is hard to come by", "everyone must establish a positive view of money", "don't wait, don't rely, use your own efforts to obtain wealth". A comfortable material life can easily make people lose their fighting spirit. As the saying goes, "wealth does not last for three generations." It is a very difficult problem to pass it on well.Sometimes, the second generation, influenced by the influence of their parents, can also hold on to the fruits of preservation.The third generation is often divorced from reality, and if not properly guided, it will often lead to the decline of the family business.Just as Pan Peicong thought: "Sooner or later, this burden will fall on the next generation. If you take it lightly, you will not be able to explain to your parents who have made the world for you."

Most people work hard to make money and find ways to leave a wealth of wealth for their children to avoid worries. However, Wenzhou people attach great importance to the education of future generations. They educate their children about money when they are very young, teaching them how to spend money, how to make money.They think that no matter how much money they keep, it is better to let their children establish the concept of "spending money and earning by themselves". It is better to teach a child to fish than to teach him to fish. The shrewd Wenzhou people have already mastered the golden rule of educating children.Therefore, many Wenzhou people have shown amazing business talent since childhood.

Fang Dehua has shown the potential of a businessman since he was a child. At the age of 5, he often put a price on his toys and then sold them to his peers or neighbor's children.For things that cannot be priced, he will use his imagination to mark the price. Zhang Wenrong, the current chairman of Shanghai Yalong Investment Group Co., Ltd. and the chairman of Shanghai Golden Apple Bilingual School, was deeply influenced by a sentence from her grandfather when she was a child: "If you want to eat popsicles, you can earn money to buy them!" A Popsicle does woodworking alone. Shen Zhou was influenced by his parents' self-reliance and self-improvement since he was a child. He separated from his parents at the age of 16. He never asked his parents for pocket money when he was in school. He even borrowed the tuition fees from his parents in the form of "loans". In 2006, Shen Zhou, who was only 27 years old, invested more than 2 million yuan to set up a garment processing factory, and the money was accumulated by himself from part-time jobs.

Wenzhou people know how to make money and do business since they were young, which has a lot to do with the education and edification that Wenzhou people have received since childhood.Now, among the new generation of young Wenzhou people, they have their own understanding of entrepreneurship. They neither want to work in state-owned enterprises or institutions like other young people, nor do they want to start a business like their parents.Most young people in Wenzhou have their own business models.For example, many children began to try to accumulate their own business experience by opening a shop online.To open an online store, as long as you have a computer with Internet access, a bunch of small commodities or second-hand idle products, and then log in to the website, register as a "store", and publish product information and pictures, you can open a small store online and start "people sit at home and make money." The way to make money from the Internet.

Most of the children of Wenzhou merchants grew up in a very favorable environment, and they fully enjoyed the benefits brought by their affluent parents.Under the influence of "money", they have a clearer understanding of money. If they are not guided, they may be led into the abyss.With the growth of the new generation of Wenzhou businessmen, their parents have expressed more concerns: the most contact of this generation is money, but they lack the enthusiasm and vitality to make money.There are many doubts about whether the next generation can continue their glory.Therefore, more and more Wenzhou businessmen attach importance to the education of future generations, and the most important part is the understanding of money.because:

"It's the parents' fault if their children don't teach." Wen Shang's wish for his children is the same as that of all parents in the world. He hopes that future generations will develop better and have a higher starting point.Numerous facts have proved that excessive material wealth does not necessarily lead to spiritual wealth.Therefore, Wenzhou merchants pay special attention to the education of their children. Many Wenzhou merchants have reached a consensus that more and more of their children are studying abroad. ◎Pass wealth to the next generation——Parents only need to build a good platform for the growth of their offspring. Let them learn the ideas and methods of managing wealth, which is far better than letting them sit on the pile of money and eat nothing.
