Chapter 48 Business Road 47 Make friends with rich people

The essence of business: Wenshang believes that most of the poor live among the poor. Over time, the mentality becomes the mentality of the poor, the thinking becomes the thinking of the poor, and the things they do are the patterns of the poor.The poor are surrounded by poor people, talking about discounted goods and exchanging saving skills every day. Although it is good for training survival ability, your vision will gradually be limited by such trivial matters, and your ambition will be wiped out. The poor envy the rich, but also have a natural resistance to the rich. When they talk about the rich, they will inevitably use a sarcasm, and hide a scalpel in their hearts, ready to dissect the ugliness of the rich at any time, so that Let your best stand out.Living among the poor, it is difficult to have a rational understanding of the rich, and it is even more difficult to have a peaceful mind to learn the wealth creation skills of the rich.

A rich man, no matter how stupid he is, it is not easy for him to become rich.The poor also have their own wisdom, but that is more on the level of survival.A poor person who lives among the poor must first say goodbye to his own class if he wants to climb the ladder of the rich.This is by no means a betrayal, but a form of self-transformation. The poor must understand the importance of the circle, and if they always hang out in the circle of the poor, how famous can they be in the end? "Walk with the king" is one of the family mottos of the German Rothschild family.Because the old Rothschild realized a truth from his own experience: making friends with the strong is an important factor in defeating the enemy in fierce competition.

The old Rothschild was originally just a little-known antique dealer, but he had great ambitions.In order to realize his greater ideal, he began to travel around the principalities of Germany at that time, and met Prince William, who had the right to inherit the German throne.Prince William loved antiques, and Rothschild gave away the precious cultural relics he had collected over the years.In return, Prince William allowed him to sell goods in his own territory, and the plaque in his shop read "the royal family's designated supplier".His fortune grew and he soon became Prince William's court banker and was able to make the acquaintance of a number of German dignitaries.

The successors of the old Rothschild have carried on this family tradition, even better than him.All of them are guests of European royal families and dignitaries, and have extremely close relationships with high society.Nissan is very popular in the British officialdom. He bought industrial products from the UK at a very low price, and then trafficked them to the American continent, and sold them at several times the high price; James has various connections with the French royal family, and he is well aware of major decisions. ; Salomon almost covered the private financial business of all royal nobles in the Austro-Hungarian Empire; Karl was in the Italian financial circle; Bavarian Consul, etc.

The family tradition of "walking with the king" has greatly benefited the Rothschild family in terms of management.In the 100 years of the 19th century, the Rothschild family earned more than 130 million pounds from the national debt alone. In fact, if you want to make friends with rich people, the most direct and effective way to make friends is your boss.In reality, if you are in the army of wealth creation, if you want to start your own business, you must try your best to get in touch with the bosses, see what they think, say, and do, and listen to their opinions on life, work, and the industry, which is better than you working hard to learn The experience came quickly, comprehensively, meticulously, richly, and trendily.Bosses must have a higher position than employees, and their information capabilities must be wider and faster than employees.

If you are a caring person and can get along with your boss often, you will get more.You will have a comprehensive understanding of the knowledge in the industry, the handling of special problems, the good and evil of people, and the greedy nature of people. From here, you will learn some knowledge about how to be a human being, and how to treat customers and employees. Generally speaking, getting along well with your boss is a criterion for testing whether you are qualified in dealing with others.This standard has two meanings: first, how do you get along with your boss when you are not strong enough to start a new business, and are still humbly learning experience and knowledge from your boss; When you can set up another business and start your own business, how do you get along with your boss?

A successful boss has his own uniqueness in how he behaves in the world. If you observe carefully, you will discover the mystery.If they can succeed, they must have benefited in this regard. Some bosses may not have the best products, but they can get unanimous praise from the industry; some bosses have good products, but the industry doesn't buy them much.You can observe why this is so. Even if the current boss won't help you, try to keep him from getting in the way.This may not be very common, but if it happens, it can have a significant impact on your startup. It would be great if the boss is willing to help you.In comparison, the help of other people is far less than that of the boss.

One cold winter day, a wealthy American millionaire was walking on the busiest street in New York - he wanted to find new business opportunities on this street.At this time, he suddenly found a ragged, skinny young man selling second-hand books on the roadside. He was not so much selling books as he was begging.The young man didn't notice his coming, and was still eating moldy bread with relish in the cold wind. The wealthy businessman, who had the same suffering experience, suddenly felt pity in his heart. Without thinking, he stuffed ten dollars into the hands of the young man, and then left without looking back.Not far away, the wealthy businessman suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he hurried back and said sorry that he forgot to pick up the book. I hope the young people don't mind.Finally, the wealthy businessman solemnly told the young man: "Actually, you are also a businessman like me."

Two years later, the rich man went to participate in a large-scale book exhibition. He was carefully looking at the cover of a book in front of a large booth, when a young bookseller next to the booth came up and held his Hand, said gratefully: "Sir, you may have forgotten me long ago, but I will never forget you. I always thought that my fate in this life was only to beg for food, until you told me personally that I am just like you." Being a businessman is what restored my self-esteem and built up my confidence to get where I am today." Perhaps the young man's success should be attributed to his unremitting efforts and continuous struggle, but his heart to match the wealthy businessman should not be ignored at all.In a sense, it was the heart to look up to the wealthy businessman that restored his self-esteem, built up his confidence, and eventually led to success.

In Wenzhou, without exception, it was not achieved by the strength of a single person, but often benefited from some good interpersonal relationships.You can always have a source of wealth from left to right, and you are like a fish in water everywhere, so naturally everything will go well and you will have a lot of money. A successful businessman in Wenzhou concluded: "The reason why I can achieve what I am today is not enough by myself alone, but by all the friends I have come into contact with. My friends are from all walks of life. , such as cultural circles, educational circles, academic circles, business circles... I have maintained good relations with them." It can be seen that maintaining a good relationship with a king-like friend is one of the important factors for business success.

One more friend, one more road, one more hope, this is the truth that all Wenzhou businessmen know. So who should we find friends?Of course, friends like you who are as open-minded as you will be of great help to your life, but if you want to create wealth, you must find rich people who can help you succeed in terms of concept and practice.This is a conclusion so simple that it hardly needs explanation.The so-called rich people are people who have a relationship with wealth.Therefore, if we want to create wealth, we must be close to the rich, work with the rich, and make friends with the rich. Now, people's desire for wealth coexists with hatred for the rich: everyone loves money more than anything else, and at the same time, the poor hate the rich to the point of curse, which also leads to the "poor does not associate with the rich" proverb. In fact, most of everyone’s friends are made in the process of seeking common interests. The more consistent the interests, the deeper the relationship. Although there are various contradictions, the cohesion of interests will make the two parties work together, repair, and automatically seek balance. . With common interests, comrades become brothers; when interests conflict, friends become enemies.It's the epitome of human relationships.The reason why people need to get together is because people need each other's help and support, sometimes material and sometimes spiritual. If the material premise does not exist, friendship will become water without a source and a tree without roots. So there are only permanent interests, not permanent friends.Not to deny the existence of friendship, but to explore a way to make it long and rich.It is extremely normal to make rich friends for common interests, and this is not only a shortcut to wealth creation, but also a social reality. In today's market economy, many of us are already working for the rich; next, when we have accumulated a certain amount of capital, we need to find richer people and cooperate with them; finally, when we become richer , to find a group of rich people to help us work. You will say that those rich people are very difficult to approach.In fact, it is not that they are difficult to approach, but that you have not found a way. If you really want to approach them, you will always find a way.
