How to treat "making money is the most glorious and businessmen are decent"?

Being rich is better than being poor. Money is very important to any society and anyone. While creating wealth, businessmen are also making contributions to others and society.

There is no shame in being a businessman.

China used to be a traditional agricultural society, but due to the influence of traditional Confucian culture, people believe in Confucian beliefs such as "being diligent in teaching children, being ashamed of doing business", "a gentleman does not talk about profit" and "doing business without cheating", which is a social tradition. Confucian thoughts of valuing ceremony, righteousness, benevolence, profit and business have led most people to attach importance to officials and businesses.

Why can Wenzhou people take the lead in shouting such strong words as "it is glorious to make money" in such a big environment? This has a historical origin.

Geographically speaking, Wenzhou is located on the coast of the East China Sea, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea in the east. Has been far away from the political and cultural center, with a large population and a small number. In addition, it is often hit by typhoons and the living environment is very bad. In order to make a living, there are many small traders and vendors. The Yongjia School, which rose in the Northern Song Dynasty and was formed in the Southern Song Dynasty, put forward the idea of "combining justice with benefit" and "combining justice with benefit". On the relationship between material and morality, Yongjia School abandoned the concept of "a gentleman is righteous and a villain is beneficial", and made bold innovations and baptisms on Wenzhou people's thoughts, thus creating Wenzhou people's strong business consciousness and business mind. They regard it as a meaningful thing to gain material wealth through hard work. The ancient tradition of valuing business has convinced the industrious Wenzhou people that the market is the food and clothing parents, and making money is the purpose of starting a business.

If Wenzhou people's traditional business consciousness is a seed, then the reform and opening-up policy is sunshine and rain. When the spring breeze of 1978 reform spread all over the north and south of the motherland, sensitive Wenzhou people quickly sought a breakthrough in their own development. For a time, Wenzhou people flocked to all parts of the country, and Wenzhou goods mushroomed all over the country. "Every family is a factory, and every household jingles." Specialized villages, specialized towns and specialized streets have become a major landscape in Wenzhou. One hundred thousand peasants' buying and selling troops "crisscrossed north and south, gleaning and filling gaps", breaking out a new road of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich, shaking the whole land of China. Some people start a business, because they are ashamed to be associated with "making money", pretending that they are doing business to start a business instead of making money, and so on. However, Wenzhou people seek truth from facts, make no secret of their purpose, and confidently say that starting a business is to make money! Xu Yong, the boss of Weili Lighter Co., Ltd., said to "What is the driving force for your entrepreneurial success?" He replied frankly: "Just to make money and live a good life." There is no shame in being a businessman, because I want to be a businessman and make money, so Wenzhou people can do anything: easy work and heavy work; High-paying jobs can be done, as can low-paying jobs; Clean and comfortable work can be done, and dirty work can also be done; Able to work with respect and weight; Ordinary and profitable work can also be done; I can do what I love, or I can do what I don't love. The value of Wenzhou people lies in that they think it is glorious to make money and not shameful to do business. As early as the early 1980s, Wenzhou people, who were burdened with heavy burdens, traveled all over the streets of cities all over the country, shouting in voices that local people could not understand, and doing small businesses of repairing pots, shoes and cotton. ...

At that time, many people looked down on them and thought it was not worth earning a few cents to repair a pair of shoes. Even farmers think that what they do is very cheap work. But they don't think so, and they can make money in a down-to-earth manner regardless of the vulgar views of the world. By the time the people who laughed at them woke up, Wenzhou people had completed the accumulation of original capital and made great efforts on a higher platform.

It is better to be rich than poor.

Fei Xiaotong once found that the local shoemakers actually came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang when he visited Xihai and other places in Ningxia. He is very emotional: in such a poor place, local people should earn their own money, or let Wenzhou people earn it. Wenzhou people think that there is no distinction between high and low occupations, and making money is the most important thing. Because of this, Wenzhou talents wander around, occupying areas that many local people despise and getting rich quietly.

Since 1970s, many Wenzhou people have been forced to make a living in Northeast China. Some "Old Northeasters" described their initial impression of Wenzhou people as follows: In the cold winter, several thin Wenzhou people, shivering with cold, wearing scarves and ill-fitting cotton-padded clothes, spoke poor Mandarin and went door to door to sell their own small commodities. This is a true portrayal of Wenzhou people who went out to operate small commodities in the early days. The business of Wenzhou people started in such a difficult environment.

When Nathan Chen, a native of Wenzhou, first arrived in Liaoning, he carried a big bag of buttons and zippers to various family areas and clothing processing points at dawn every day, and always returned to his place of residence very late. He said that in the early days, most Wenzhou people did dirty and tired odd jobs that others rarely did, unwilling to do, and sold small commodities that others did not want to sell because they earned too little money. They are not afraid of small profits and do it step by step. Most Wenzhou people have accumulated the "first bucket of gold" for starting a business with the spirit of hard work and hard work.

And what's the situation now? At present, there are nearly 654.38+10,000 Wenzhou businessmen active in Northeast China like Nathan Chen, and the voices from Wenzhou can be heard in most industries such as clothing, leather shoes, glasses, real estate, commercial circulation and environmental protection. 60% of the clothing and leather goods market in Shenyang, and more than 80% of the brand shoes market are in the hands of Wenzhou people. More than 70% of the glasses on the market are produced in Wenzhou, and about 90% of the lighters are from Wenzhou. Therefore, some people in Shenyang said, "If one day Wenzhou people suddenly withdraw from Shenyang completely, most people in Shenyang don't know how to live."

Rockefeller once said, "I was poor and I was rich. Listen to me, being rich is not as good as being poor. " Hicks, an American writer, also pointed out in Income Generation Outside Occupation that money can make people live a better life in these aspects:

Material wealth;

Entertainment:

Education;

Travel:

Medical treatment:

Economic security after retirement;

Friend:

Can give you stronger confidence;

Enjoy life more fully:

Show yourself more freely;

Satisfy a greater sense of accomplishment;

Can engage in more public welfare undertakings.

This is the fact of today's society, money can buy many things; And 80% of life goals can be achieved through money. The history of the development of human society also fully proves that money is important and essential to any society and anyone. Money is beneficial, it enables people to engage in many meaningful activities; While creating wealth, individuals are also making contributions to others and society; As long as you don't commit crimes, a rich life is definitely a successful life. Therefore, it is not wrong for Wenzhou people to say that "making money is glorious".

Make money gloriously.

It is glorious to make money. Wenzhou people's desire and pursuit of money is well known. They never confess their love and pursuit of money. Their strong desire to make money makes them willing to do anything, including doing some jobs that are traditionally considered inferior, such as repairing shoes, playing cotton and selling coolies.

Sheng Junmin is currently the president of Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce in Guizhou Province and the chairman of Guizhou Shenying Western Service Co., Ltd. ... His past is the history of a Wenzhou businessman's struggle abroad, and it is also the epitome of many Wenzhou colleagues' struggle to leave their hometown.

1980, after graduating from high school, Sheng Junmin went to Ningbo Radio and Television Company and became an apprentice to repair radios. After finishing his studies, he returned to Yueqing and opened two electrical repair shops. Soon, Sheng Junmin, who didn't want to do only small business, turned his attention to Sichuan in the west and set up a clothing factory there with his mother. After accumulating some experience, 1994, he went to Guizhou alone and opened a garment processing workshop. Conditions were poor at that time. The factory area is only over 200 square meters, with only 10 workers.

After just a few years' efforts, Guizhou Shenying Xifu Co., Ltd. has become a large-scale professional enterprise in southern Guangdong, which is unique among private enterprises in Guizhou and ranks first in sales volume in Guizhou market year after year. In 2004, the first phase of the suit industrial city with a company investment of 30 million yuan was completed, with a total workshop area of more than 7,000 square meters. After the new production line is put into production, the annual output value will reach 200 million yuan. The company has developed from a medium-sized enterprise into a modern large-scale enterprise group with scale and grade.

The scale of the enterprise has expanded and the business environment has completely changed. When Sheng Junmin started his business, he was ready to borrow 50,000 yuan from the bank because he didn't have the funds. It took him three months to complete the relevant procedures. But in the end, because the enterprise was too small, the bank thought it was difficult to guarantee his credibility and could not even borrow a penny. Now, on the contrary, many banks invite him to his own place. Let Sheng Junmin truly feel the taste of "glorious making money".

There is no shame in doing business. This sentence sounds normal now. But it takes not only wisdom but also courage to say such a thing more than 20 years ago, and few people can say it. Therefore, Wenzhou talents can make money first and get rich first. Sheng Junmin is one of them.

Matter determines spirit. Without adequate material security, Sheng Junmin will not realize what a successful businessman is, and it will be impossible to show his self-worth.

For Wenzhou entrepreneurs, the pursuit of money is the most fundamental driving force for them to be tireless and not afraid of risks. Poverty when there is no money, the experience of people who lack ambition, and the freewheeling of rich people have deeply hurt their hearts. The urge to be a boss and make money has made countless Wenzhou people embark on the road of entrepreneurship.

Concentrate on making money

In some places, it seems common for laid-off workers to seek the government, but Wenzhou people never seek the government. They say, why do they need help in their own way? As long as you are willing to endure hardships and smart enough, there are opportunities to make a fortune everywhere. "It is glorious to get rich, and it is shameful to be poor and backward." In Wenzhou, where the market competition is fierce, the amount of capital has become a measure to test a person's own value. You earn more, and I earn more than you; You did a good job, and I did better than you! In Wenzhou today, "making money" has become the most important thing. There is such a spread:

A foreigner walked on the road in Wenzhou and accidentally stepped on the foot of a Wenzhou native. The foreigner who was used to being reprimanded stopped embarrassed. But unexpectedly, this Wenzhou native didn't even look at him and continued to stride forward. Outsiders are puzzled: what is this? Later, another Wenzhou native told him that we Wenzhou people are all in a hurry to do business and have no time to worry about your "trivial" things.

Whether this story is true or not, Wenzhou people's strong sense of "grasping money" is well known. From nothing to "front shop and back factory", from primitive accumulation to "sand accumulation into a tower", Wenzhou people have to earn even a penny.

The ideal of young people in Wenzhou is not to go to work or to work in state-owned enterprises. Most of them want to start their own businesses, set up factories or open stores. Inexperienced people go to some private enterprises for internships first, and then come out to start their own businesses as bosses. In addition, Wenzhou people, whether cadres or ordinary employees, have a strong sense of investment, and most of their spare money is used to invest in enterprises, borrow money or buy real estate. Therefore, Wenzhou people like real estate speculation so much because gentlemen are busy being bosses. Even people who work in government agencies usually have at least one person running a business or opening a shop at home. After work, they immediately rush home to run their own business to make money.

However, if you want to make money, you should also concentrate and invest. Half-hearted people can never make money. Winners make money steadily for a long time, and you can make big money by concentrating on making money.
