Jews and Chaoshan people are both professional business people and have been proud of doing business for generations.
It has always been said that the Chaoshan people are the Jews of China.
As a Chaoshan person, I have great curiosity and admiration for the Jewish nation. I would like to compare the differences between the two and find factors that can inspire and think for Chaoshan people.
Jews and Chaoshan people don’t care about the source of money. As long as it's profitable and not illegal, just use it without thinking too much. The purpose is to make money, the truth you believe in is to do business, and do everything you can to get the maximum benefit.
Oil tycoon Buckfield requires his subordinates to calculate the cost of refining a gallon of crude oil to the third decimal place. Every morning as soon as he gets to work, he requires all departments of the company to submit a report on costs and profits. The report was sent, and he analyzed it and found minor problems and improved them. Because the production volume was very large, he could get a huge increase in profits.
Chaoshan people don’t use any money they shouldn’t use, and they dare to invest the money they should.
Of course, there are also Chaoshan people with spiritual emptiness and distorted values. They are looking forward to getting rich overnight and seek attention and a sense of existence by showing off.
Sometimes, high risk means high reward. Both require investors to have extraordinary courage, and Jews have always been known as adventurers.
Both of them are charitable, and they are actually doing business. They donate a lot of money to support the establishment of local welfare undertakings, and help the surrounding friends as much as they can. The city camp will win the favor of the local government and local people, and it will be helpful to carry out various projects. This business activity is 10 points beneficial. For example, some Jews have obtained preferential conditions from the local government, and their ways of making money have been broadened by developing real estate, mining and building railways.
Since ancient times, Chaoshan people also have a saying that being friendly makes money. The core is to give people a good impression and interact with people with a kind, gentle, generous and considerate attitude. Others will also treat you politely. If your reputation spreads far and wide, it will be easier to negotiate business. It’s done.
Mr. Rothschild had five sons. He sent his five sons to various major countries in Western Europe. He believed that information and intelligence were the lifeblood of the family's prosperity, so he spent a lot of money to establish a cross-border network. The entire European intelligence network, and spent a lot of money to buy the most advanced telegraph equipment at the time to transmit messages, ranging from business information to hot social topics, and the accuracy and transmission speed of the intelligence exceeded the British government's post station and intelligence network.
Chaoshan people attach great importance to the weaving and utilization of the relationship network and intelligence network.
Jews have a strong concept of solidarity and mutual assistance. They believe that it is the responsibility of the rich to provide help, and it is the right of the poor to receive help.
When the Jews pay taxes, the rich often consciously pay for the poor. The Jews have developed the habit of helping their compatriots. Even the poor Jews keep a small box to make money. In order to prepare alms for those who are poorer than themselves, in some Yutai societies, Jewish students who are not in need will go to different Jewish homes to eat, so that these students can study with peace of mind.
The way the rich helped the poor Jew was to provide him with a gift or loan, or to accept him as a business partner or to help him find a job that would enable him to live without having to rely on others in the future. Teach them how to fish, rather than teach them to fish, and try every means to get them out of poverty and become rich.
Kamud has a famous saying, who is the strongest person in the world? The answer is the person who turns his enemy into a friend.
Sometimes the misunderstanding between two Jews is so deep that they turn a blind eye to each other and avoid each other. At this time, an old man who is very familiar with them will take the initiative to step forward and make one of them speak first, so that They calmed down their anger and shook hands to make peace.
For friends, they are divided into three types. The first type of friends, friends like bread, are often needed. The second type of friends, like Cai, I need. The third type of friends should be involved and try to avoid them. open.
Chaoshan people are very united and willing to help others. Whether friends are divided into three, six or nine grades varies from person to person. Generally, people who are related by blood will be treated equally regardless of their virtues or talents.
However, in terms of the emphasis on education, the accumulation of knowledge, the breadth and depth of thinking, the breadth of vision, and the tolerance of the mind, the gap between the two is relatively large.
When two Jews are together, there will be at least three viewpoints, and when three Jews are together, there must be at least four viewpoints, so that they feel more comprehensive.
The Jewish court stipulates that if all the judges reach the same judgment, then the judgment is invalid, because they all have the same point of view, which means that everyone only sees one aspect of the case and ignores it. other important aspects, so the view is one-sided and not objective.
If some judges think guilty, while other judges think not guilty, then it proves that everyone looks at the problem from multiple angles, which is a more comprehensive and objective evaluation. So the result in this case It is a valid judgment.
So we believe that when looking at the problem, we must see at least three angles. If we look at it from at least three angles, we will not only see the black and the white, but also the gray of Zhongjian, then the whole The understanding of things is three-dimensional.
But I used to think that it was OK to understand both the black and white sides of things. For example, if you see the strengths and weaknesses of a person, you have a basic understanding of the person. In fact, there is a gray area. Only when you understand it can you be basically comprehensive. It is said that Jewish thinking is more than what we usually think. One dimension, so he goes ahead of us.
Because of this comprehensive, objective and multi-dimensional way of thinking as the basis, we can avoid the herd mentality, accurately predict the market, make comprehensive decisions, stimulate creativity, find unique ways, and win opportunities.
The state is responsible for the national basic education in the Jewish state of Israel. This compulsory education system requires huge financial support. Israel’s education funding has never been less than 8% of the gross national product. In the highest year Reaching 8.8%. As the most educated country in the world, the United States’ education expenditure only accounts for about 8% of its gross national product, while Japan and Germany are even lower, so it is very difficult for Israel.
The Jewish nation has also created two systems.
The first system is that everyone must pay 10% and donate 10% of their total income for education. The poor, including those who receive alms, must also donate 10%.
Another system is to promote matching in marriage. The most ideal distribution method for Jews is the combination of the children of the most knowledgeable and the children of the richest. Rather than a combination of rich people and rich people.
In 1919, the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, where the Jews were concentrated, started construction amidst the rumbling artillery fire on the front line. Since then, the war has continued, but they have not been able to prevent the completion of the university in 1925.
The most important secret of Israel’s economic prosperity is that it has a large number of high-quality talents. Chinese-style education is an important tradition of the Jewish nation.
Diaspora Jews around the world are willing to donate money to fund education in Israel. If they are asked to buy weapons to help Israel, they will not do it. But if they are asked to pay for education, most of them are willing to donate generously.
They are almost 100% educated. There are 280 people in Israeli universities per 10,000 people, higher than most European countries. Israel has more professors and doctors in its population than any other country. There are many.
Knowledge gives businessmen the wings to take off. Knowledge is an invisible hand that promotes economic development. The admirable Jewish businessmen with business acumen make their wealth by respecting knowledge, loving learning, and The inevitable result of attaching importance to education.
Jews are not only good at eloquence, but also cover a wide range of topics. They can talk about politics, economics, military, and history. They can also talk endlessly about sports, entertainment, and military affairs. They know everything. They know everything, and they can also explain to you the names of fish species unique to the Atlantic Ocean, the structure and working principles of various parts of a car, and the classification and varieties of plants.
They believe that business-related knowledge must be continuously learned and relearned. It will take at least 20 years to understand all relevant knowledge before one can truly develop the ability to predict the market.
Jews regard knowledge as wealth and believe that knowledge cannot be taken away by others and can be taken away with them. Knowledge is power.
Jews believe that contract is the standard for measuring a person's moral character.
The Jews are very particular about the art of negotiation. They do everything possible to bargain, use various means, and do not hesitate to anger the other party and make the other party agree to their harsh conditions without losing their mind. However, they know that once they sign a contract, they will definitely fulfill it. .
The Jewish nation is a nation that values ????enterprise. However, this attitude does not make the Jews enshrine all contracts. On the contrary, as long as there is a buyer's contract, it can also be traded as a commodity in exchange for profits. Credit has a price.
Legal politics and national boundaries are relative, and even morality is relative. Only the contract you promised is eternal and must be fulfilled without compromise.
Most of the Jewish festivals are to reject the suffering and failure they suffered. They dare to recall the past, recall the suffering, and face failure. Use festivals as warnings and self-motivation
The Talmud says that it is better to have 10 worries than just one, because if a person has worries every day, he will no longer be afraid, and for a long time in his life A person who has only been troubled once or twice will be troubled all day long, not knowing that more troubles will come to him in the future. This fear of the future is the most tormenting.
Adversity is an elimination mechanism. He relies on ruthless adversity to achieve the purpose of survival of the fittest, allowing those who can stand the test to stand out and create an extraordinary career, so it is said. Suffering is both a challenge and an opportunity.
In 1910, a large number of Jews in North America were engaged in the most basic work, with low pay, hard work, and many unstable jobs, which gave people no sense of accomplishment. This was not in line with Jewish ideals. Later, they With the good education I have received, I actively look for jobs that pay decently, are forward-looking, and are profitable. Decades later, many of them became millionaires. It was at this time that the famous Rothschild family began to make their fortune.
Later, only one in every 10 Jews was a blue-collar worker, and the rest became the property class.
They understand the truth that one can become rich by relying on wisdom, but can only make ends meet by relying on physical strength.
In fact, most of the people in the world who run restaurants and food are Chinese Chaoshan people, while the majority of those who deal in diamonds, jewelry and fashion are Jewish.
After decades of operation, Israel Diamond Trading Co., Ltd. has grown from scratch, from small to large, from domestic operations to multinational operations. Today it has become the largest and most famous diamond processing enterprise in the world. The processing volume accounts for 60% of the world's total processing volume, with an annual turnover of more than 4 billion US dollars.
Jews dare to doubt everything and question everything. I believe that the truth is in the hands of a very small number of people. They can be the first to do business, find new ways and be creative.
The Jewish psychology master Freud said, "Because I have the two Jewish instincts of doubting and thinking, I find that I am not affected by prejudice, while other people use their intelligence. , but is subject to many subjective and external restrictions. As a Jew, I am always ready to oppose the opinions of the majority.”
Jews believe that throughout history, predicting human behavior is obviously better than predicting the weather. Easier. The further you can see the future development, the greater the success.
The Jewish tycoon Kiwit had extraordinary foresight. In 1930, Kiwit could accurately grasp the new wave of the times that came every 10 years and related it to his own career. In the 20th century In the 1930s, most civil construction workers had nothing to do, but Givet foresaw public investment and made every effort to prepare. In the 1940s, he foresaw that anti-epidemic projects, especially military buildings such as air force bases, would In the 1950s, he foresaw the advent of the era of highways and missile bases. In the 1960s, he foresaw the great development of urban transportation networks. In this way, Givet always met the construction needs brought about by the trends of the times. This foresight laid the foundation of Kiwit's business empire.
This is like chess. We call people who have only seen one or two strange chess moves a beginner, and people who predict 3 or 4 moves are called intermediate chess players. If you can count 5 or 6 moves or more, Those who are good at chess are known as advanced chess masters.
A person who is light on business should ask himself what steps he can think of when planning the overall situation.
Jews believe that we cannot control our destiny, but we should not be influenced by it. Whether we are in business, politics or scientific research, we all value the establishment of life goals. Only when we first establish the goals of life can we do our best to achieve our goals. Go ahead and succeed in the end.
Look at the world with reason and never be blind. This is the Jewish way of thinking. They believe that the world is filled with too much extreme, blind agitation and people’s ignorance and rationality has abandoned us. Ignorance and prejudice, so people should use reason to restore the true nature of the world. The truth will always be in the hands of a very small number of people.
Don’t follow the herd, avoid following the herd. This Chaoshan person didn't do it.
Jews believe that the enthusiasm ignited by emotions is very dangerous, because emotions are sometimes high and sometimes low, but they cannot last, and reason can last a lifetime.
When faced with whether to sell a company, many people will feel that the hard work they put into starting the company is not worth it, or they may have deep feelings for the company and find it difficult to let go. However, the Jewish idea is, Companies are nothing more than profit-making tools. As a businessman, his mission is to make profits. Since the company can no longer produce benefits, what is the reason for the company's existence?
In the Jewish business world, a company is not only a place that can generate benefits, but it should also be a commodity itself, a commodity that can bring high profits and can circulate freely in the hands of countless people.
The first day of Jewish business negotiations often ends in a quarrel, so on the second day, when the two parties meet, someone will greet you very warmly and communicate with you with a smile, which will make you feel like the whole world It was all good and the previous fights never happened.
Then when you enter financial negotiations again, they will bargain with you again, start arguing non-stop, and eventually turn into fierce quarrels and even angry abuse.
Next, you will find that the attitude of the Jews has returned to its previous state, mild, cheerful, enthusiastic, sincere, gentle, polite, etc.
Jewish attitudes were changing so quickly. It feels incredible. This is what they think. Human cells metabolize very quickly. Yesterday's quarrelsome cells have been replaced by today's gentle cells, so there is no need to be angry today.
This kind of negotiation method is their strategy. They want to torture the other party until they are dizzy and confused, or they agree to save trouble without agreeing to the conditions they did not want to agree to. And it is conducive to ending this abusive negotiation as soon as possible, which invisibly causes the opponent to give up some interests. Making the other party lose their mind in anger and then agree to their own conditions is the shrewdness of the Jews.
Jews always have a calculator in their wallets. They like to take notes and write down the date, amount, delivery date, and limited location to prevent themselves from making mistakes.
On the contrary, most of the bosses who let the company fail are people who are not sensitive to numbers. They entrust the company's accounts to the financial person in charge and only ask people how much money they made, even if they know the company's safe How much cash you have in bank deposits and how much money you have in bank deposits means you must not know enough about how much loans and arrears there are. I don’t know anything about the current fixed assets and liabilities of the company, and I have no concept of costs and expenses.
In addition to their own hard work, Jews are inseparable from their family education. Jews have paid attention to the education of wealth concepts since childhood. They will give stocks to children who have just turned one year old. This is the practice of the Jewish nation, especially the Jews gathered in North America today. When children are three years old, their parents begin to teach them to identify coins and banknotes, let them understand financial knowledge from an early age, and let them help If the family works and takes on household chores, their parents will give them appropriate compensation.
My idea is that regarding children’s education, safety and health, and financial management, these three aspects should be taught to him at all costs, the correct method, and to control himself in moderation. In other aspects, he can freely go according to his hobbies and personality. develop.
Money is a number, and it is also a carrier that expresses the responsibilities, rights, obligations, and credit between people. It can be used to accurately balance various relationships.
Jews believe that you need to develop multiple different negotiation plans before negotiating a business. The advantage of this is that if the first business negotiation fails, you can also propose the different plans you have prepared and let the other party think about it. You won’t accept a plan that you are not mentally prepared for, and you won’t feel that it is the only choice you can make when you sign the contract.
The best time is:
Take advantage of the other party's happy time, take advantage of others' unlucky time, and take advantage of the best trading partner, who has just taken office or is about to step down. There are other extraordinary times.
In addition, you must have a clear understanding of the priorities of things. If you discuss many issues, or you want to make the other party accept many doctrines and projects, then you must leave sufficient information for the most important issues. time for negotiation.
If you have the opportunity but do not make full use of it, it means you are not good at negotiating business. This is the advice of Jewish businessmen.
Whether Jews are engaged in business, politics or business, they set their goals and go all out for it.
When setting goals, Jews should pay attention to personal reality and circumstances, and do not set their goals in a position that is elusive and out of reach, just like Einstein would not set his goals in being president. Even if others praise him and develop towards this goal, he will not accept it.
When Jews evaluate the credibility of a trading partner, they first consider how much the other party’s company is worth and how much cash the property can be converted into, and then based on this, they make transactions or determine price terms. They think this more than 40 times In the event of a natural or man-made disaster, nothing but cash can help people make a comeback immediately. The importance that Jews attach to presentism is related to their long-term persecution.
In the ever-changing market, risks lurk in various buying and selling activities. If cashism is ignored, it will often lead to losing all money. Therefore, the concept of cashism among Jewish businessmen is not entirely unreasonable.
In specific practice, attention should be paid to balancing long-term and short-term business. The short-term withdrawal is quick, and even if the profit is small, you must persist just in case. Long-term business is long-term, and the slow flow of funds is risky.
