Chapter 43 Inventory of ten fatal weaknesses of coal bosses

The coal boss is a man not a god. They also have the joys, sorrows and sorrows of mortals in the world. When the weakness of human nature "advances with the times" along with the social process, at the same time, it will also deduce each person's "life encounter" on the road to prosperity and life trajectory of each person. In the "circle" of coal bosses, peers joke about each other's "embarrassing things", and other people's physical and personality defects often become "laughs" for everyone to make fun of.Here are the ten Achilles' heels of coal bosses:

First, the culture is low. This is the "standard personality" of all coal bosses. Statistics show that 80% of coal bosses in Shanxi have an education level below elementary school, and 20% have education above elementary school and below junior high school. In his practice of becoming rich, the coal boss disdains the degree of education, the influence of knowledge and learning, and the cultivation of temperament and conduct, such as the "life correction" of sages and social values. "Jinshan" seems to be the best evidence. Second, the background is mixed. It is undeniable that in today's society, a person's identity background and status are always closely related to social "respect" and the "possibility" of career success.

Looking at the law of success of coal bosses in Shanxi, we found two phenomena worth noting: Some people either made their fortunes in high-ranking official families, and under the influence of their family social influence, they opened up all the social joints along the way, and then opened mountains to extract coal.Some people, however, get tough on the rich and powerful merchants, and then step by step for "gold", open the way with money, and then "manage" all the links of "entering the mountain", and finally "success and fame". "Heroes don't ask about their origins." On the road to success, the coal bosses trek hard on their respective roads to prosperity, and they know the joys and sorrows in it.

The so-called "all roads lead to Rome".On the pinnacle leading to the success of their respective lives and careers, the "successful and famous" coal bosses still "reach the same goal by different routes" after all. Third, the status is embarrassing. This sentence means that the embarrassing identity becomes the eternal pain of the coal boss in a certain social class. In this special group, if we use the "degree" of wealth as an indicator to consider, they can only be regarded as "model workers who get rich" covered in soot.But if we look at it from the perspective of politics, economy, and culture, their status will plummet, let alone "social influence" and "public respect".The embarrassment of social status and the sense of loss of social status have always been with them.

Fourth, short-sighted. "Only care about immediate interests, not future affairs", this sentence means that some coal bosses only care about the coal storage situation in the mountains where their coal mines are located, as well as coal production technology capabilities and market conditions, and do not care about the situation of mining coal mines around the mountains. . This kind of "short-sighted" behavior in career often makes people associate the entrepreneurial legend of the Shanxi coal boss with great sorrow and joy with the image of the selfish "local rich man".

Fifth, starting a business is difficult. Poverty has always been associated with suffering. The humble status of coal bosses facilitates them to constantly dig out entrepreneurial elements and find entrepreneurial partners on the road of career development, which costs much more than ordinary people. At the place where "the mountain is poor and the river is full of doubts and no way out", the coal boss resorted to the courage and perseverance of "breaking the boat" and "putting it to death to survive", and finally entered the realm of "another village with dark flowers and bright flowers". Therefore, some people always "look back at the past ","Emotion".

After they have money, they start "retaliatory" consumption in a "reckless" style. This kind of "little man succeeds" mentality is just a manifestation of the contradictory and complicated mood after experiencing the difficulties of starting a business. Sixth, the foundation is shallow. The coal boss lives in a civilian family at the lowest level of society. His ancestors were illiterate farmers, and they have no respectable social status.They have continued their humble life by relying on the simple tea and light food in the barren mountains and mountains. They are a "little tree" nourished by the clear soup and little water in the barren mountains and mountains.

They were born in poverty, with low status, without a prominent background, without strong "political, economic, and network resources" in the political, financial, and other upper social classes, and without "elegant help" in their careers.Therefore, if they want to start a business, they must and can only start from scratch. Seventh, start late. "The spring of business is long overdue", which is the "universal fate" of almost all coal bosses, resulting in the "universal fate" of coal bosses who "start at noon in the morning". We know that there are many factors for business success, including the internal conditions of the entrepreneur, the objective external factors and resources of the entrepreneurial environment, the "strategic thinking" of the entrepreneur, and the "methods and skills" at the "tactical level" and so on.

All in all, "middle-aged people get rich, old people get rich" is a true portrayal of contemporary coal bosses. Eighth, lack of talent and learning. Generally speaking, the level of education is always related to the success or failure of a career. Under certain circumstances, the relationship between the two develops in a directly proportional direction, but the business of opening a coal mine is an exception.In some cases, the level of education is even inversely proportional to the "career" of the coal boss.Because so far, we haven’t seen a “graduate student-level coal boss” or a “professor-level coal boss”.

In this regard, a local official believes that to open a coal mine must be "courageous" and "not afraid of trouble."But in the current Chinese society, the higher the culture, the more "cowardly".In other words, "be courageous" is the key factor for the success of the coal boss's "career". Due to the special environment, coal bosses cannot enjoy fair educational resources. This kind of "congenital polio" just makes coal bosses "strike right". You are uneducated, but you can endure hardships, and you don’t know much about learning, but you are willing to delve into it. To a certain extent, these coal bosses have achieved their "big plans and great careers".

Ninth, low birth. "I can't choose my birth, but I have the right to decide my life." This is the "most reasonable saying" of a coal boss. In the eyes of ordinary people, a humble status will always accompany a person's life, which is like the "tight hoop" on Monkey King's head, life and death, will always be with you. It is understood that most coal bosses always keep secrets about their birth background in their social interactions after they become successful and famous.Because if the truth is told, they will feel inferior. That is to say, the painful "DNA" of "low birth" will always be accompanied by his contradictory and complicated life. Tenth, the family is cold. As the saying goes, "A poor family comes out of a hurry", this sentence means that it is because the Shanxi coal bosses were born in a "humble and poor family" that they can "know their shame and then be brave", so they work hard to change themselves with perseverance and ambition beyond ordinary people life. Poor family background is a common phenomenon among the coal bosses. Without the help of rich relatives and noble relatives, this "shortcoming" of coal bosses has also made their "brilliant" career today. Eleventh, short knowledge. The careers of the coal bosses are always connected with the mountains, and their fate is always connected with the darkness under the pit. Their living environment and working conditions will limit their entrepreneurial thinking all the time. They have no long-term life and career plans. Of course, they cannot say that they have seen the "world", but can only say that they have "short-sightedness". .
