Chapter 77 6. The value of gemstones

Fog filled the river: But Mr. Wei, even if you are right, our 5,000-year civilization is just an outdated agricultural civilization. Now we urgently need to establish a new industrial and commercial civilization.However, in our traditional culture, there are still a lot of essence for us to absorb. Wei Xiaobao: What you said and what I said are two different things. Fog filled the river: Why are they two different things? Wei Xiaobao: I was talking to you about the civilization model on which the establishment and development of management science is based, but what you are talking about is another issue.

Fog filled the river: But our 5,000-year-old civilization does have a lot of wisdom and ideas for us to absorb and learn from. Wei Xiaobao: Didn't I tell you that these are two different things? Fog filled the river: Why are they two different things? Wei Xiaobao: I was talking to you... oh my god, why did you come back again? Fog Man Blocking the River: So we are talking about the same thing. Wei Xiaobao: The fog is blocking the river, you are simply unreasonable! Fog Man Lan Jiang: I don't think I'm wrong.Of course, Mr. Wei, you also have your reasons, but why did we talk about it?What a strange thing.

Wei Xiaobao: Not at all strange.The river is full of fog, so let’s make an analogy. Let’s compare the 5,000-year-old traditional culture with a book, and describe the business civilization with a management textbook. No matter how fluently you recite the Book of Songs—— Quack, chirping, drinking porridge, beautiful women, everyone turning around... and so on, but no matter how good your grades are, it is useless for your management exam, no matter how loudly you tell the management The teacher of the class said how good it is, and the teacher will never raise your management course scores because of this, and you have to make up the exam if it is due.

Fog Man Lanjiang: Oh, if you put it this way... Then Mr. Wei, what is the difference between our agricultural civilization and the commercial civilization of the industrial age? Wei Xiaobao: If you want to understand this, why not listen to me tell you a story. There are two geological prospectors, A and B, who accidentally discovered a diamond deposit in the desert. Both of them were very excited. They immediately emptied their backpacks, dumped everything, and tried their best to pick it up. The diamonds were loaded until they could hardly carry them anymore, then they stopped reluctantly, and then returned with these immeasurable diamonds on their backs.

After walking for a short time, they were so tired that they had to stop and take a rest. At this time, they felt thirsty, but found that all the drinking water they brought had been thrown away and replaced with diamonds. At this time, A drops all the diamonds, returns to the mine immediately, collects all the lost mineral water, does not bring a single diamond, and starts to return with only drinking water. But B thought that as long as he persisted for a while, he might encounter a pool of spring water, so he resolutely refused to drop the diamonds, and even carried all the diamonds left by A on his back, continuing to struggle in the desert. Trek forward.

It didn't take long, because A was carrying a lighter load, he quickly caught up with B. At this time, B was so thirsty that he was going crazy, and when he saw the water on A's back, he immediately shouted: "Water, water, I want to drink water. " But A replied: "I'm sorry, this is my water, and I won't give it to you for nothing." B complained angrily, "I'm dying of thirst, but you refuse to save me. Do you still have a conscience to be a human being?" A smiled and said: "You are wrong, it is not me who has no conscience, but you."

B asked back: "Why?" A replied: "Because I lost my diamonds in exchange for these waters, and each sip is more expensive than diamonds, so the water is my diamonds. And you got the diamonds with water. Now you want to get it for nothing." Take my diamond, then do you have no conscience, or do I have no conscience?" B asked angrily: "So, how can you give me water?" A replied: "It's very simple, exchange your diamonds for my water." B was extremely sad and angry, and complained: "You are not kind when you take advantage of others' danger."

A replied: "I am doing a fair deal, but you want to take other people's labor for nothing, so you are the one who is not kind." B has no choice but to use part of his own diamonds in exchange for a few sips of water from A.In this way, when they walked out of the desert, although B survived, all the diamonds fell into A's hands. Wei Xiaobao: Fog blocking the river? Fog Man Blocks the River: Hehe... Wei Xiaobao: Fog blocks the river! Fog filled the river: Hey...what's the matter, Mr. Wei?Why don't you kick people so hard... What were we talking about just now? Wei Xiaobao: If you dare to flirt with Sister Xijiao, don't blame me... Let's analyze the thinking of A and B.

Fog filled the river: Thinking? Wei Xiaobao: Right. Fog over the river: ... A's thinking is more dynamic, while B's thinking is in a static state... It seems that it is for this reason that B is at a disadvantage. Wei Xiaobao: That's right, B's way of thinking is a typical agricultural civilization way of thinking, looking at things with a static point of view and perspective.And A's thinking mode is a typical business thinking, that is, to look at things with a dynamic and changing perspective. Agricultural thinking: Look at things from a static point of view, thinking that the value of things will not change.

Business thinking: look at things from a dynamic point of view, and believe that the value of things changes with changes in the environment.
