Talk about business?
"Talk about business in business?" Hunan Merchant Culture and Modern Chamber of Commerce is the opening work of the series "The Rise of Hunan Merchant". Mr. Wu Jiyan, the initiator of Hunan Merchant Culture in China and a famous chamber of commerce activist, has completed a masterpiece recording the development process of Hunan Merchant.
Since establishing the first Hunan Chamber of Commerce in 2003, Mr. Wu Jiyan has overcome obstacles all the way to spread Hunan business culture and carry forward the Hunan spirit. He has a deep understanding of the development of Hunan merchants, the construction of chambers of commerce, and the establishment of business culture.
Material determines consciousness, and consciousness has an active reaction on material. When the era of industrial civilization develops to a certain stage, material can gradually fill people's stomachs for production and life, and spiritual needs will become prominent. As in "Business Discussing Business?" ” said that the era of industrial civilization requires not only the improvement of GDP and other data, but also the simultaneous raising of the banner of commercial culture. Based on the author's experience in founding the first private Hunan Chamber of Commerce, this book puts forward the concept of "Hunan must transform from the Hunan army to Hunan merchants" in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and critically points out that "traditional business gangs are dead", and first suppresses and then promotes commercialization. The urgency and necessity of cultural construction. Rather than talking about "Business Talking in Business?" " is a book about business affairs by businessmen. It is better to say that it is a patriot's golden words for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. "Talk about business?" 》With detailed examples, thorough reasoning, and in-depth analysis, it uses wise and refined language to describe the call for business culture in the era of industrial civilization.
The foundation of Hunan business culture
It has been exactly ten years since Wu Jiyan founded the first off-site Hunan Chamber of Commerce in 2003 - Chongqing Hunan Chamber of Commerce. It has been seven years since Wang Yuewen published "It will take some time to talk about Hunan businessmen" at the end of 2006. It will be 2013. In order to summarize the ten years of development of Hunan merchants, Wu Jiyan created "Business Talking in Business?" - Hunan Business Culture and Modern Chamber of Commerce", and the launch ceremony was held in Changsha on November 25, 2013.
This book uses the unique idealism of the "92 School" to observe the evolution of Chinese business culture that they have witnessed over the decades of doing business outside the system. It uses Hunan culture as the source to provide an in-depth interpretation of Hunan businessmen. Cultural genes, and combined with its unique experience in the construction of chambers of commerce from 2003 to 2013, it analyzes the shortcomings of traditional business gang culture and thinks about the difficulties and breakthroughs in the construction of modern chambers of commerce.
Why are there no "Hunan merchants" among the top ten merchant gangs in ancient times? Where does the history of modern Hunan merchants begin? What is the significance of Hongjiang Ancient Mall, "the first ancient shopping mall in Ming and Qing Dynasties", as a specimen of the ancestral place of ancient Hunan merchants? Who first proposed the concept of "Hunan merchants"? How was the first Hunan out-of-town chamber of commerce established? Why is it said that "business gangs should die and chambers of commerce should be established"? How can traditional business gangs transform into modern chambers of commerce? Wu Jiyan has given wonderful interpretation and analysis in this book.
This book is the first book to comprehensively elaborate on the history and culture of Hunan merchants and introduce the development of Hunan Chamber of Commerce. It is also the first book in the "Rise of Hunan merchants" series. "This is the foundation work of Hunan merchant culture, and it will definitely open up the Chinese people's attention and attention to the Hunan merchant group, as well as their enthusiasm for research in the field of Hunan merchant culture." He advocated "arming Hunan merchants with the soul of Hunan, and letting Hunan merchants reinvent themselves." Zheng Jiaming, former chairman of the Hunan Provincial Federation of Social Science and Technology, believes that "casting the soul of Hunan".
The title of this book is "Business Talking in Business?" - Hunan Business Culture and Modern Chamber of Commerce", on the cover, this "?" is very eye-catching. Wu Jiyan explained: In the business circle, “Business talks” has become a familiar saying. However, businessmen are definitely not just a tool for making money, and "talking about business in business" is not enough. This is also what Chinese businessmen have been lacking in the past 30 years of reform and opening up. Hunan businessmen must have their own business culture, ethics and morals, as well as their own business organization - chamber of commerce. A mature business culture and a sound chamber of commerce organization are important guarantees for a harmonious society, which is also the direction of our efforts.
The book begins with Wu Jiyan going to Hainan to do business, and then goes through business after Chongqing was directly governed and founded the first Hunan Chamber of Commerce in another place. Later, he held the Hunan Business Conference in full swing and started Hunan business, until he proposed The proposition of how traditional business gangs can transform into modern chambers of commerce.
In the first chapter, "Chasing the Sun and the End of the World: The Ideals and Temptations of the 92 Faction," Wu Jiyan rarely reveals the story of his interactions with the Six Real Estate Gentlemen
The reform of Hainan where I was in 1989 The Development Research Institute is a unit with more than 10 people, and the success rate is very high. Chi Fulin, president of the Hainan Institute of China Reform, was the deputy director and director of the Hainan Sports Reform Office at the time, and Feng Lun was the executive deputy director in charge of the work. I was the head of the information department, Wang Qifu was the head of the office, Pan Shiyi was the executive vice president of our subsidiary company, and Yi Xiaodi was a master's student at Renmin University at the time and came to our unit as an intern before graduation.
At that time, I gave each of them nicknames based on my personal intuitive feelings about them. For example, take Feng Lun, I nicknamed him "Feng Xianda". In my opinion, he has always been a wise man in society. Wang Gongquan was nicknamed "Wang Laocai". Because Wang Gongquan studied management, he had the habit of accepting death, and management was more serious and standardized. At that time, we were still not used to it, so I thought he was very stingy and an old money man.
Of course Wang Laocai was not convinced and asked me why he was Laocai. It should be said that Pan Shiyi was Laocai. I gave Pan Shiyi a more fun nickname, "Hypocrite." Why are you called a hypocrite? Because Pan Shiyi seems to be a modest gentleman, but at heart he is a businessman. Facts have proved this: neither Feng Xianda nor Wang Laocai was as good as Pan Shiyi, a "hypocrite" in business.
Yi Xiaodi, I nicknamed him "Good Boy" at the time. I think Yi Xiaodi is a well-behaved person and has always lived with his original wife. As for Wang Qifu, I gave him a name that didn't sound very nice at the time: "country bumpkin". He was rustic, but now it seems that Qifu has stayed true to his true self. He occasionally rides a bicycle and swims on the canal.
The first person in Hunan business culture
After ten years of practice, Wu Jiyan keenly realized that “there is a gap between the free market and centralized politics, and it must be There must be an intermediary to connect them, and the most effective intermediary is the chamber of commerce. "Chamber of commerce in the form of a social organization will be a necessary economic and social force for the construction and development of a harmonious society. Since the establishment of the Chongqing Hunan Chamber of Commerce in 2003, Wu Jiyan has been campaigning for the construction of the Hunan Chamber of Commerce. After five years of hard work, the development of Hunan Chamber of Commerce in other places is vigorous, and Hunan Chamber of Commerce has blossomed all over the country. With such a foundation, "Hunan merchants" finally moved from concept to substance.
"Break free from the spiritual shackles of thousands of years of feudal dictatorship", "Get rid of the low-level taste of primitive accumulation in recent years for quick success and instant benefits", "Beyond the idea that one Hunanese is like a dragon and three Hunanese are like worms" Character destiny", this is the basic starting point for Wu Jiyan to establish the Chamber of Commerce.
“The most important capital of Hunan businessmen is Huxiang culture. It is the sense of responsibility given by Hunan culture to worry about the world, the innovative spirit of daring to be the first, the pragmatic style of being practical, and the inclusive spirit. An open mind and a pragmatic and honest style. "The Chamber of Commerce integrates a cultural spirit into the construction of a socialist market economy and a harmonious society as a highly socialized organizational form.
Wu Jiyan’s position in life is “I used to be a builder of the market economy, and I am still doing this work, but now I spend more time on the construction of a harmonious society. I am a Builders of a harmonious society.” “The market economy points out the direction for China’s economic development and completely changes China’s poverty-stricken appearance; while the harmonious society points out the direction for China’s social transformation after its economic transformation.
A harmonious society means a diverse and integrated social form. It also means that this harmonious society must be based on the high development of social organizations, and the Chamber of Commerce is just such a social intermediary organization. ”
In Wu Jiyan’s mind, chamber of commerce organizers are the best embodiment of his identity as a builder of a harmonious society.
“Market economy, pluralistic society, free press, democracy The comprehensive revival of the four-in-one "politics" is the goal that Wu Jiyan has been working hard to achieve, and it is also the best state that Wu Jiyan thinks this society should achieve. This is a long and rugged road that requires continuous efforts of several generations to achieve. Ambitious goals.
On the road to promoting the construction of business gangs, Wu Jiyan has taken the first step of actively preparing for chambers of commerce. Today, when the globalization of market economy has basically taken shape and a pluralistic society has just begun, Wu Jiyan has a clear plan for his future life goals. He roughly summarizes them into the following three points: first, the rise of Hunan merchants; second, relying on the rise of Hunan merchants to promote the overall revival of Hunan culture; third, if the new The rejuvenation can be realized and will contribute to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
As a rising independent group, Hunan businessmen not only play a dynamic role in promoting the economic and social development of Hunan. He is the pioneer of the third renaissance of Huxiang culture. “Once the new renaissance of Huxiang culture becomes a reality, it will mean a new and huge contribution to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and world peace. ”
The Return of the Exile
He likes Sartre, but he prefers Mao Zedong.
While pursuing freedom, he is more eager to pursue nobility, holiness and even Great.
In order to pursue freedom and dreams, he, like many people who have witnessed the great changes in China's reform and opening up in the past 30 years, kept moving and going into self-exile.
He was determined to pursue his ideals.
He was sincerely grateful for this great era.
Wu Jiyan handed over his business card and introduced himself with six titles: Chairman of Hunan Xiang Culture Investment Co., Ltd. The vice president of the Tsinghua University Chongqing Alumni Association and the founding president of the Chongqing Hunan Chamber of Commerce also has office addresses and contact information in Hunan, Beijing and Chongqing - he has maximized the function of his business card.
However. , but the business card cannot show the period of Wu Jiyan’s self-exile in Hainan, which is a pity.
That period was the most important stage of his life, which he called Hainan. The place where the boy transformed into a man was also the most important place of self-exile and automatic migration in his life. His experience in Hainan laid the foundation for his later stories.
Wu Jiyan’s ideals
From a resume perspective, Wu Jiyan was very mainstream before 1988.
Wu Jiyan was born in Xiangyin County, Hunan Province in 1964. He was admitted to the junior class of Hunan University in 1979 and graduated from Hunan in 1983. Department of Computer Science at the university and stayed at the school. He joined the Party in 1984 and successively served as the Propaganda Minister of the Youth League Committee of Hunan University and Secretary of the Youth League Committee of Faculty and Staff. In 1988, he graduated from the Department of Social Sciences of Tsinghua University and went to work for the newly established Hainan Provincial Committee. In 1992 Going to the sea.
Growing up in the hometown of the great man, Wu Jiyan was deeply influenced by Mao Zedong’s idealism. He once felt extremely honored and proud to be a people’s teacher, “As an engineer of the human soul, I am. Always be ready to burn yourself to illuminate others," Wu Jiyan told reporters seriously.
Although he is mainstream, Wu Jiyan is not restless. The revolutionary and rebellious genes in great men also have a profound impact on him. To be precise, , such genes are common among the passionate young people of their generation. In their youth, they loved freedom, and most of them were admirers of Sartre, but they lived in a country with a stubborn tradition of restraint. The strong desire to get rid of the shackles coincided with and echoed the restless reform sentiment across the country at that time.
So, wherever the opening for reform was first announced, and wherever the air flowed freely, there were crowds. This was the case in Shenzhen in the early 1980s, and it was also the case in Hainan in the late 1980s.
They accompanied a nation on the road of migration.
< p>Hainan Province was established and wandered around the worldIn 1988, after Wu Jiyan graduated from the Department of Social Sciences of Tsinghua University, he went directly to Hainan, a hot land that made people excited.
That year, Deng Xiaoping said something. The call "We are building a larger special economic zone, this is the Hainan Special Economic Zone" makes those aspiring young people who consider themselves "truth in hand and full of pride" feel very happy and encouraged. As soon as the news came out that Hainan was establishing a large special zone as a province, a large number of talents flocked to Hainan. The phrase "one hundred thousand talents went to Hainan" was a vivid metaphor for the people from all walks of life rushing to Hainan at that time. It was said to be one hundred thousand, but in fact, the number of people who went to Hainan at that time was far more than one hundred thousand.
Wu Jiyan and his passionate companions set out from Beijing, took a train to Guangzhou, and then changed to a boat to Hainan. "When we wake up in the morning, go out on the deck, the sun is shining, the beach, the coconut trees, the fresh air, it feels so good to be free. "It's an event of freedom of choice and freedom of choice. At that time, people who first arrived in Hainan felt the air of freedom.
Wu Jiyan and his companions are mainly assigned to state agencies, state-owned enterprises, and universities. "Many of them are the first Tsinghua graduates in the history of this unit, so there is great hope." Wu Jiyan served in the Hainan Provincial Government and became an official promoting structural reform. At the age of 24, he was very ambitious and hoped to promote changes in the system to benefit more people. At that time, there were many people like Wu Jiyan in the Hainan government. They were young, energetic, well-educated, enterprising and pioneering, and had little or no constraints on their thinking. Later they launched many bold projects reform measures.
“When we had just adapted to Hainan’s various characteristics and were eager to do great things, the country adopted a ‘tightening curse’ to prevent economic overheating.” The slogan "The Special Administrative Region is not special, I want to go home" is quietly circulated among the former passionate talents. Where is Hainan going? Where are we going? Wu Jiyan and the others fell into confusion and confusion.
Time soon came to 1992. In the spring of that year, Deng Xiaoping's unusual southern tour swept across China. It not only caused unprecedented political shock, but also created a strong economic appeal. Keen people sensed the huge business opportunities, and the desire and impulse to make a fortune permeated the country.
This round of business wave has the greatest impact on Chinese officials. According to subsequent estimates by the Ministry of Personnel, 120,000 people resigned from their jobs and went into business this year, and more than 10 million people did not resign but went into business!
“It was a huge temptation, and a large number of intellectuals chose to ‘go to sea’ for various reasons.” Wu Jiyan also "went to the sea". Whether it is to prove what you are pursuing in practice or to pursue money, no matter what, Wu Jiyan believes that "going to sea" means to accomplish everything you want to do. "Everyone has a set of ideas, and everyone has made up a set of rhetoric. And all these theoretical ideas can be developed by building an enterprise, facing the market, and winning development in market competition." Wu Jiyan recalled.
Leaving the system, Wu Jiyan became a real estate developer. "In real estate, the great thing is urban construction, and the ugly thing is land speculation." Wu Jiyan likes to laugh at himself from time to time. He called this choice a transformation of a man. "The most basic change is the so-called standing at thirty. I have found some basic things for me to settle down and live my life."
Of course, this basic thing also includes the most basic economic foundation. He made money. Some of the people who engaged in real estate in Hainan with him became famous real estate tycoons in China in the future.
After getting money, Wu Jiyan began to reflect on himself, "I turned thirty all of a sudden, what should I do, so I began to feel that I had a mission, and I shouldn't do business just to make this little money." After all, he could not become a complete businessman, or in other words, he was never willing to be just a businessman. If the utilitarianism and pragmatism of the 1990s had a complete impact on China as a whole, then the transformation of the generation deeply influenced by the idealism and enlightenment trends of the 1980s has never been so complete. Being a businessman and having wealth is one of their ideals, but it is not the only ideal.
In such a transformation, Wu Jiyan is the least thorough one. "Since starting business, I have seen distorted people through the eyes of money, and what others see through the eyes of money is not me, but money. When businessmen become the mainstream of society, I don't know whether this means progress or degradation. "As a businessman, he doubted and evaluated businessmen like this, "I think doing business is a bit similar to being a 'lady': first of all, they are doing it for money, and secondly, they are selling themselves, but what they sell is their lust, and I sold it. own wisdom. But in the end we all have to be good. Now I am just falling into the dust." "Being good" is what he hopes to be, but he doesn't know what he will do after "being good". . But most people who are a bit idealistic long for noble, sacred and even great pursuits, at least in his view, pursuits that are a little higher than "businessmen".
In 1994, China's economy was overheating across the board, a macroeconomic control storm broke out across the country, and the Hainan boom gradually receded. In this year, Wu Jiyan left Hainan and began his second self-exile. This time the destination is the United States. "My purpose of studying in the United States is to understand the world. I feel that my understanding of China has reached a certain level, but I still don't know what the world is like."
My days in the United States are not too long. , returned to China in 1996. Of course, later he often went into self-exile in the United States or other countries for short periods of time, saying that he wanted to experience global life.
During that time, he wrote a book called "The End of the World". He left a tail for this book, which is about "return". But at that time, he could not find his way back.
Chongqing will be directly governed by the Western Exile
Chongqing will be directly governed. Wu Jiyan, who is experienced and has a keen sense of smell, sensed the opportunity. People call Wu Jiyan the most sensitive little mice in China's social changes, because before the earthquake, mice were the fastest to respond. When mice run ahead, people are slow to respond.
In 1997, Wu Jiyan invited a few friends and drove from Beijing to Chongqing. This was just to experience the artistic conception of "the difficulty of the road to Shu" for himself.
The first trip to Chongqing did not leave a good impression. Wu Jiyan had doubts about Chongqing's soft investment environment and lamented that the "difficulty of the road to Sichuan" was actually due to backward ideas and low management levels.
The second time I went to Chongqing was in October 1997. The All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce's "Guangcai Business Inspection Group" composed of more than 100 businessmen arrived in Chongqing for investment inspection, and Wu Jiyan was also among them. "But most investors have come and gone. Their image metaphor of Chongqing is 'the sky is full of planes, but they can't find the landing runway.'" Wu Jiyan stood on the streets of Chongqing where there were traffic jams and concluded that One conclusion: Chongqing’s infrastructure is too poor and is extremely inconsistent with its status as a municipality. There should be great potential for investing in infrastructure construction. So, he stayed. That was his third self-imposed exile.
What is happening in Chongqing is exactly what Wu Jiyan experienced in Hainan in 2003. All this makes him appear to be familiar and confident. Among them, the most popular one about his investment in Chongqing is the so-called "Five Yellow Road Phenomenon".
In 1998, Wu Jiyan's company invested in the construction of the first Wuhuang Road in the northern new city of Chongqing. Its width of 54 meters made it the widest road in Chongqing, and it developed into today's central residential area. "This may have some model significance in the Chongqing property market." Although Wuhuang Road is now busy with traffic, in Wu Jiyan's view, there are only two cars on Wuhuang Road: one is for fame and the other is for profit, and on this road, these two cars have almost achieved their goals.
The Hunan Commercial Construction Association returned from exile
However, commercial success did not bring Wu Jiyan great satisfaction as expected. His doubts about his role in society were ever-increasing.
To be precise, this suspicion has existed since the day he left the system. This feeling may be stronger for a person who has social ideals and aspires to the lofty. Even though people yearn for freedom, they are still social animals and crave recognition from organizations, especially after they become successful and famous.
After being confused for a long time, he seemed to have found the feeling. At the end of 2002, Wu Jiyan took the lead in preparing to register the Chongqing Hunan Chamber of Commerce in Chongqing. "With the rise of the market economy, a large number of private enterprises have prospered. Many people feel that there is a disconnect. No one cares about them, and many things are inconvenient. In other words, there is a disconnect between government control and market development. , we were confused when we began to realize these problems, and the central government also realized this problem. The Chamber of Commerce is neither a political organization like the government nor a market organization like enterprises. It is a social organization between the government and the market. " Wu Jiyan already enjoys engaging in the creation of new social organizations.
At present, he transferred all his energy to the organization of chambers of commerce, and thus established a Hunan Xiangshang Cultural Investment Co., Ltd. He hoped that through his intelligence as a scholar and his acumen as a businessman, he could unite Hunan merchants from all over the world in the south of the Great Lakes and make Hunan merchants rise and influence the world.
Not long ago, the first Hunan Business Conference was held in Changsha. Wu Jiyan, the founding president of Chongqing Hunan Chamber of Commerce, who campaigned for the concept of Hunan business and was a matchmaker between various Hunan chambers of commerce, naturally entered the field of vision of the government and non-governmental organizations at the same time. He said that he finally found the organization and found the right position for his future career.
He calls himself a builder of harmonious society. He is no longer just a builder of market economy. Although he once had long hair, wore robes, and appeared as rebellious and different from the mainstream of society as much as possible on the outside, he was no different deep down. He listens to the party's words and memorizes the spirit of the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. He also listens to the local government's words. What he does follows the development ideas of the local government as much as possible and serves the local government to the maximum extent. He sincerely thanked the great era of reform and opening up for giving a generation the freedom to move and self-exile, and creating opportunities for a generation to pursue dreams and a happy life.
What can be judged is that the last one must be sincere. Because Wu Jiyan and others are the biggest beneficiaries of the great era. An era that links personal dreams with social dreams enables a generation to find refuge in the migration of ideas.
Wu Jiyan calls this return. Return of the Exiles was the title he suggested.
Wu Jiyan still remembers a song that was popular among Hainan wandering singers. The general idea of ??the lyrics is: Who is willing to leave his home, who is willing to wander around the world, just because he wants to find his dream, just because the seeds are about to sprout. .
After traveling to the end of the world, he found his way home and already had a home he didn't want to leave.
