In China, "Chaoshan people" and "business" seem to be always talked about. What are the characteristics of the well-known Chaoshan businessmen? They are really barbaric. Human?

In the headline article "My Friend Wang Shi, and the Price of Kindness and Carelessness" in Qin Shuo's Moments on the morning of the 21st, he commented on the Chaoshan people represented by Yao Zhenhua:

To Yao Zhenhua, Mr. Yao and I have never known each other and have never communicated with each other. But I have always respected the group of entrepreneurs who came out of South China University of Technology (limited by space, I will not list them one by one), and I believe that you are people with entrepreneurial spirit.

I have also dealt with wealthy people in Chaoshan, and I admire their tenacious fighting spirit. I saw the banner "Businessmen have no territory" and the image of an eagle in Huang Guangyu's office. This is probably the temperament of Chaoshan businessmen.

But recently I went to Shantou for the first time. This place where the streets are full of Cantonese D license plates, today’s appearance is much worse than my hometown of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. I don’t know how to implement Comrade Xiaoping’s special zone strategy. of?

From my rough understanding, closedness (only using one’s own people), speculativeness (making money first), and conservatism (slowness in learning new knowledge) are obstacles that Chaoshan businessmen need to overcome urgently, and the relationship between government and business Cleanliness is the key for Chaoshan businessmen to step up. I hope you will be a representative of Chaoshan entrepreneurs in the new era, rather than focusing on becoming someone's richest man.

Among them, the author was attracted by the words "Businessmen have no domain". Interestingly, a search shows that this is not the original creation of Huang Guangyu or Li Ka-shing, but this word is always associated with Chaoshan people. Before explaining this term, we must first talk about the economic status of Chaoshan area.

Wild: Poor and getting stronger “When looking at Chaoshan, don’t just look at Shantou City and Chaozhou. Chaoshan is a very large area. Chenghai, Chaoyang, Jieyang and other places have only been integrated into Shantou in recent years. "It sounds like Shantou is a special economic zone, and it seems that it should be very wealthy, but in fact the economic situation of Chaozhou or Shantou is not representative of Chaoshan area. Most areas in Chaoshan are very poor." People said this, answering my question: "Is Chaoshan poor?" His answer is: Chaoshan people are poor and can endure hardships.

New Fortune Magazine published an article on December 20, "Shantou—a special economic zone that failed miserably. Why?" " mentioned in:

On October 16, 1981, Shantou City was approved by the State Council as China's first batch of special economic zones. In the golden autumn of October, we will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Shantou Special Economic Zone. However, compared with Shenzhen, Xiamen and Zhuhai, which were approved as special economic zones in the same period, there is almost no trace of special economic zones in Shantou today. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the special zone, we can reflect on the Shantou model.

The city appearance of Shantou is very decadent. People who first arrive in Shantou are all shocked - those taxis at the airport that rip off passengers and don't use meters will suddenly stop in the middle of the road and pick up another passenger to ride with you. This kind of "hitchhiking" cannot be described even as "unbelievable" ; Entering the urban area, the dilapidated "small parks" that have not been demolished or built make people go back to decades ago; there is almost no street where there is no road occupation operation, no one cleans the garbage in the streets and alleys, tricycles, motorcycles Cars and motor vehicles were on the rampage.

Chaoshan people are poor and face-saving, so they have the desire to make money and make big money - without desire, Yao Zhenhua might still be selling cabbage fried dough sticks, and Huang Guangyu would not have changed from selling radios to selling clothes. This "wild" drive, the "ambition" to be the boss and become bigger are inseparable from the traditional environment of Chaoshan. The article "Among so many merchant gangs, why is it that only the Chaoshan merchant gang has endured for so long?" ” wrote:

“Chaoshan people don’t need encouragement. They are born with the awareness that everyone can be the boss, and naturally have the idea of ????"I would rather sleep on the floor, but also be the boss." Their parents Always instill this idea in the new generation.”
