Chapter 52 Business Road 51 Everyone gathers firewood and flames rise

The essence of business: People know that wild geese usually fly in a "herringbone shape". These wild geese change their leaders regularly, and the leading goose leads the way ahead, which can help the geese on the left and right to create a partial vacuum.Scientists once discovered in a "wind tunnel test" that wild geese flying in a "herringbone shape" can fly 72% more distance than a goose flying alone.Wen merchants are familiar with the unity of the geese: only by cooperating with their companions instead of fighting each other can they fly higher, farther, and faster.

There is a story in ancient times: an old man raised ten sons, but the sons were always separated from each other and were not united. Later, the old man thought of an idea. He called the sons over and gave each of them a chopstick to compare their strength. , to see who can break it.The ten sons easily broke the chopsticks.He distributed ten tied chopsticks to each of his sons, but none of them broke.Through the education of this incident, the sons began to wake up and understand their father's intentions.When everyone is united, their profits cut through gold.Only when all people work together can there be strength.

Wenshang knows that it can achieve more, faster and easier with concerted efforts.And everyone can see their own "blind spots", encourage each other, and fill in the gaps and weaknesses.A team can advance faster, just like a relay team can run faster than a single person can complete the distance.Those Wenzhou merchants who have become rich know that if you want speed, you need a team. Success is not achieved alone, you can't do everything alone, so you need to cooperate with others if you want to achieve your goals.There is only so much we can achieve without the help of others.Know that the farther one goes on the road to success, the more one realizes that what really counts is not cash, ideas, enthusiasm, but people.Money, ideas, and enthusiasm are certainly important, but without human support, other factors are obviously not enough.

The most important thing about cooperation is to find excellent collaborators.In most cases, success requires the help of collaborators. People know that wild geese usually fly in a "herringbone shape". These wild geese change their leaders regularly, and the leading goose leads the way ahead, which can help the geese on the left and right sides of it to create a partial vacuum.Scientists once discovered in a "wind tunnel test" that wild geese flying in a "herringbone shape" can fly 72% more distance than a goose flying alone.Wen merchants are familiar with the unity of the geese: only by cooperating with their companions instead of fighting each other can they fly higher, farther, and faster.

Integrate your interpersonal resources, make full use of your interpersonal resources, and you will find that your space is expanding inadvertently, and all of this is due to the people around you. Siemens is known in Germany as "an economic giant that breaks all growth ratios and laws".It has more than 300,000 employees.These employees come from many countries and regions in the world.This company has offices, scientific research laboratories, test benches, manager offices, apprenticeship workshops, and production workshops in 125 countries and regions.How does this economic "behemoth" cultivate the affinity of employees and prevent centrifugal tendencies and individualism?

It is said that Siemens relies on two cohesive forces to unite more than 300,000 employees.A cohesive force is: the company uses the best products and services to deal with fierce market competition and establish its invincible position.The ever-changing technological progress forced Siemens to continue to make new huge investments, and the company's "component" production department underwent impressive changes almost overnight.This kind of "strength" makes employees have a sense of honor as soon as they step into the company, and they are reluctant to leave even if they want to leave.Another kind of cohesion is: making technological progress as far as possible through the joint efforts of a large number of research groups.Siemens pays attention to formulating, coordinating and centralizing plans, and provides complex and expensive test equipment, so that everyone understands in their hearts that nothing will be achieved if they leave the company, so they cannot leave if they want to.

In the fierce commodity economy competition, Wenzhou bosses must unite their employees to participate in the competition. While emphasizing the cohesion of the enterprise, they are still working hard to improve the image of the enterprise itself, and use their brains to exert collective strength and collective effect, so that individual employees can work together. Think everywhere, work hard in one place, and work towards a common goal. "One chopstick is easy to break, but ten chopsticks can't be broken", "People are united, Mount Taishan is moved", "Unity is strength", these clichés often pass by our ears, almost becoming clichés and annoying.However, the vitality of an enterprise is really inseparable from the centripetal force of employees. To truly run a company well, the boss has to unite his employees.Only by twisting the power of all people into one rope can we overcome all kinds of difficulties in enterprise growth and market competition. Only by cultivating the dedication and love of employees, enhancing the sense of responsibility and generating centripetal force can the enterprise have a bright future.

When someone met with Mr. Matsushita Konosuke, he asked such a question: "Please summarize your business know-how in one sentence." He replied: "First of all, you must listen carefully to the opinions of others." When Matsushita Electric made ", although the business was not big, at the end of each year, he would call all the people together to tell the whole financial situation of the past year, explain the profit, and ask for business opinions for the next year.Year after year, a habit is formed.He always establishes the next step of business goals on the basis of fully listening to the opinions of people from all walks of life.Be mentally prepared, be consistent, persevere, and move toward your goals.Because of listening to other people's opinions and suggestions in a timely manner, every time Matsushita Konosuke takes a step forward and every step up, he has already thought of the next goal, the next step.The backbone and employees of Matsushita all said: "No matter how important the problem is, Mr. Matsushita, the manager, will make a decisive decision. No matter when it comes, his superhuman judgment is admirable."

The reason for the success of Matsushita Konosuke is precisely because he has listened to the opinions of all those who can offer advice and suggestions for the operation of "Matsushita" before making a decision.It can be seen that obtaining truthful and accurate wealth "hardware" through interpersonal communication is an indispensable and important factor for getting rich. During the 1920s and 1930s, Logers and Hart began writing the most popular, Broadway-style musicals Girlfriend, A Yankee from Connecticut, and Old Friends. fiscal".After that, they continued to cooperate and produced 7 Hollywood films until Hart's death in 1943.

Logers' second partner was Harmarstein II.The first collaboration between the two of them was the creation of "Oklahoma", which won the Pulitzer Prize.They went on to write scripts and create musicals such as South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music, which broke box office records. Cooperation is also a kind of career marriage.So, when a marriage breaks up, the result is catastrophe. Ximen and Ge Fenke are from the same hometown, and they are about the same age. Their birthdays are only three weeks apart. At the age of 14, they sang together in the local choir. At the age of 24, the duo had their first chart-topping record, "The Sound of Silence," and they were expected to become pop's most successful singers.

Then, they set music records: the albums "On the Way Home" and "I'm a Rolling Stone" were popular and smash hits.The theme song "Mrs. Robinson" they sang in the movie "The Graduate" became popular all over the country once it was sung.Their album "Bridge Over Bad Water" not only won five "Grammy Awards", but also sold 15 million copies.However, this is the last record they will collaborate on. At the age of 29, Simon and Garfunkel finally broke up.Since then, they have gone their separate ways.The time for the recording industry to work together has only lasted 6 years.After the breakup, neither of the two regained the achievements they had achieved when they worked together. When they collaborated, Ximen composed the music and Ge Fenke sang.That is to say, one is the creator behind the scenes, and the other is the singer who receives applause in front of the stage.When Simon mentioned the "Bridge over Bad Water" album, he said helplessly: "I wrote the song, and I knew it had to be sung by Garfunkel. However, he is so successful, Being admired, while I was left out in the cold, watching the glory piled up on Garfunke alone, I really couldn't bear it." It was success that killed the friendship between Simon and Garfunkel.It is heartbreaking to see such a perfect and helpful partner fall apart like this. We live in an era of cooperative efforts, and almost all successful businesses operate in some form of cooperation. We have only to glance at the day's newspapers each day to see reports of this type: Mergers of businesses under the same management create immense power. Today a group of banks merges, tomorrow a group of railway companies merges, and in a few days a few steel companies merge.The purpose of all these joint actions is to use a high degree of unity and cooperation to exert incomparable strength. Success scientist Napoleon Hill believes that no one can achieve lasting achievements without the assistance and cooperation of others.When two or more persons, in any way, unite themselves in a relationship of harmony and understanding, each person in the union will thereby multiply his own capacity for achievement. A Wen businessman who is familiar with the way of cooperation said in an interview with reporters: "Liu Bang used Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and Xiao He to create an empire; Master who is at a loss for what to do when a big event happens, fortunately, there are more than a hundred brothers in Liangshan, "Don't be panic-stricken" to help occupy the eight hundred miles of water; How can Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha get the scriptures and save all sentient beings?" No matter what industry you are in, no matter what position you are in, the work you want to do needs to be coordinated with others. It is impossible for you to complete a thing independently without the assistance of anyone.The so-called three stakes for one fence, and three gangs for one hero, there is nothing that does not require everyone to cooperate with each other.If you want to get along with everyone in the shortest possible time, you need not only enthusiasm and confidence, but when colleagues need help or friends are too busy, there may be some tasks that are not your duty, but because of your help and assistance, you can Do it better and faster, and you will not only learn something new yourself, but you will also earn thanks from others.When you need help, your colleagues and friends will also lend a helping hand. Cooperation allows us to do things we couldn't do before.I know the value of being patient and gentle with subordinates and co-workers - helping to achieve goals.It is still an old saying: If you want others to treat you, treat others first.
