How do people get rich? If you want to get rich, you should
A well-known Wenzhou businessperson, in the land of China for 15 years, from a laid-off worker to a rich man. Usually quite low-key, at a cocktail party, he knew himself a thousand times and said the truth after drinking, and finally told me 22 secrets to make a fortune in the Chinese mainland:
1. Insist on watching CCTV-1 news broadcast
If you want to grasp the economic lifeline, you must pay attention to the political situation. The news broadcast is rich in pictures and texts, and it is truly the best barometer for Chinese businesspeople. You can ignore financial reports or focus interviews. If you are not involved in oil and foreign exchange, you can even ignore events like 9/11 and the situation in the Middle East.
2. Don't trust contracts or contracts easily
Even if the contract has been seen by your lawyer and notarized by the notary office, don't believe it easily. Even after your client has transferred the money to your designated account, you must confirm whether you can take it out and move it. Any verbal promises and explanations that involve conflicts of interest outside the contract must be treated as if he is farting, whether it is fragrant or smelly. Don't indulge in it until the other party fulfills the promise, and no matter who the other party is, even if it is a friend you have made for ten years or even a woman you slept with.
3. You must keep your word, but for those who do not keep your word
You can only promise what you are certain to achieve, but don't exaggerate. If you want to be a businessperson all the time, you must establish your credibility! Although you can not care about the controversy of the outside world, even you can create controversy, but you can not lose credibility, otherwise you are not a businessperson but a liar; credibility specifically includes if you meet with someone at 2:00, then you must not appear before 1:50 or after 2:01, in case of traffic jams or accidents, then you must inform the other party in time, unless you are in a car accident, unconscious or dead, otherwise you have no reason to skip your appointment, arrive too early or arrive too late, and your self-control is reflected in the attitude and tolerance towards the other party's unpunctual and uncommitted; and once you confirm that the other party is cheating you again and again for the sake of profit, then all your actions towards the other party are not excessive, and you can even make plans and give him a cake!
4. Businesses you can win but may not be able to afford to lose are best avoided
Before doing any business, you must think carefully about whether you can afford to lose if you lose, instead of thinking about what will happen if you win, and you'd better not do what you can't afford to lose! And when considering the scope of losing, you should not only consider money. As a half businessman, there are some things you can never afford to lose, including the woman you love, your family, your status in the world, and even your reputation. Therefore, you must fully consider whether you can afford to lose before doing any business. If you can afford to lose, then OK, you can go to DO IT without hesitation!
5. Don't invest too much in advance, leave yourself enough trump cards
Don't show all the cards in your hand, because the game will stop at any time, and the other party will play new cards at any time. Until the final critical moment, it is best not to show the most powerful cards in your hand. The final winner is the real winner!
6. Nothing can be done in the world, but businesspeople do something and don't do something
There is a saying in "Cai Gentan" that it is good to "do nothing for the little good, and do nothing for the little evil", which is the truth of life, and the same is true for business: "Don't do it because the profit is small, and don't do it because the risk is small"; and also in China, things that violate the law can be done, but things that violate morality must not be done.
7. Choose your partners carefully
Whether it is a team or an individual, many times we long for a golden partner who can join hands with us to fight the world, but close comrades must be carefully and carefully selected. Prudence is not only for each other, but also for each other. Close comrades must meet the following prerequisites before they can become your close comrades. First, he and you must have fought together in a trench for at least a year. Second, on the premise that you are not responsible for him, he can be responsible for every word he says to you. Third, he must be a real and practical person. Fourth, he thinks more about the common interests between you (whether short-term or long-term), and this common interest is higher than personal interests. Fifth, he did not shy away at a critical moment, let alone On the premise that he can obtain greater benefits than the cooperation benefits, all five points are indispensable, otherwise the cooperation between them will not last long.
8. Don't have your family members on your team
No matter whether it is your wife or your parents, they should not interfere too much in the business team with you as the core, because the team with you as the core accepts you, not your family members. Before all members of your team take the initiative to accept and invite your family members to become a member of your team, no matter who your family members are, how capable they are, or how much help they can bring to your team, they cannot be the reason for you to let your family members become a member of the team. And when members of the opposite sex in your team (three or more people) have sex with you, then you must consider letting the other party leave the team immediately. Either she (he) seeks another job, or she (he) becomes your full-time lover or wife (husband). In short, she (he) It is no longer possible to stay in this team, so don't think about sleeping with the opposite sex or having an affair in the team.
9. Don't sleep with women who have conflicting interests with you
No matter who will take advantage of whom, or everyone can have two parallel relationships at the same time, they should not sleep with them, no matter how sexy or emotional the woman is; such women include: women who have business dealings with you, women who work under you or your colleagues' family members, and even female civil servants who manage your government entities and functional areas of business. There are two reasons: First, such a woman can let you die without knowing how you died. Second, although you are half a businessman, the other half is not a man who sells his body.
10. Don't tell your woman your business details
No matter whether this woman is your mistress, mistress, or one of your many lovers or your wife who has been married for many years, you should not talk to them about your business details: first, they may not understand if you talk about it; second, the business details you talk about will have content that can land you in prison; third, it involves trade secrets; no matter how many women you trust you, you should not talk too much about your business content; there is also a business rule that does not need to be listed separately. Do not send business cards to young ladies and recruiting girls in pornographic venues such as nightclubs and cabarets. Remember!
11. You can pay a bribe but don't be a tainted witness to testify in court
No matter how shameless or uninteresting the officials who accept your bribes are, you can only pay bribes and never be a tainted witness to testify in court; unless you don't even want to do half of the businesspeople in the future; and if you take the initiative to pay bribes, and the other party accepts and does things for you, then you should not use this as evidence that can catch the other party's pigtails to blackmail the other party to continue to give you the green light, regardless of whether the other party is a government official or a law enforcement officer or a bank official or even a clerk; the most basic thing is to treat guests to a meal, a sauna, or even a trip to Macau. These emotional investments must not be recorded as small black accounts alone, and the handling of financial accounts must also leave no traces.
12. Don't evade taxes, but learn to avoid them reasonably
It is best not to issue invoices with big heads and small tails. Business tax and additional education funds are waiting for you to pay as much as you should, and you should not use your brain for value-added tax (remember to ask your family for tax receipts for normal deduction). In addition, you can weigh your own weight in tariffs. The specific situation is treated in detail. Corporate income tax can be completely avoided without paying a penny, but it is best to give the local tax some face. Don't pay a penny for less, pay more and pay less. You can handle it yourself. As for personal income tax, it depends on whether the local government has done many practical things for taxpayers and whether we really treat them as taxpayers. Make a payroll based on the specific situation.
13. You can use journalists, but don't trust them
You can give a reporter some money or gifts, but you can't tell the reporter a lot about your background, let alone trust the reporter to keep business secrets for you. You can't even get too close to the reporter and must learn to guard against the reporter, whether you are facing a beautiful and coquettish female reporter or a big-name reporter who can make internal references.
14. Don't make it big, even if you're really the boss
Remember that there is a heaven outside the sky, don't make a big deal on any occasion, even if you are really big, and when the other party is a big and shallow person, if you want to kill him, then you'd better find a brick to hit him, and then you go your way! But remember, this brick must not be your own brick, and this brick should preferably have nothing to do with you.
15. Stay neutral and avoid getting involved in political factional disputes
You should remain neutral in the face of any factional dispute, especially in the face of political factions. It has been proven that it is dangerous and unwise to place the hope of business interests on any side where factional disputes may occur. Between factions, you must calmly remain neutral.
16. Don't care too much about the gains and losses of money and profits
Remember the old adage that if you gain something, you lose something, and if you lose something, you gain something. If you don't have money, you can earn it again. The world naturally has money and business opportunities that you can't earn enough. So why not be magnanimous in front of money and interests? What's more, bigger business opportunities are waiting for you to grasp? Basically, you shouldn't have time to worry about temporary gains and losses, even if you have time to savor tea and appreciate color.
17. Don't spend too much money whitewashing yourself
Although face is very important to you, compared to your own personality charm, whether you have a famous car, a villa with a swimming pool, golf, your clothes, or even your hairstyle will seem insignificant; of course, you can wear a pair of "internal connection" cloth shoes as you like, and you can even fly to a foreign country to watch a home or away game of your favorite team when you have time, and even you can smoke your own inferior cigarettes in front of many people!
18. Capital determines the right to speak, but you should not easily let others know how much say you have
It is right to care about your capital that belongs to you and the capital you can control, and even you should care about your bad debts, cash gains, and cash flow, but these should not be known to too many people; and when you get a huge fortune, you should learn not to tell this news to others, including your wife who has been in trouble with you for a long time, otherwise she may ask for a divorce and divide your small assets! Remember, a man's money should always be a secret like a woman's age, even if one day even a woman's age is no longer a secret, your money should still be a secret; unless you are about to donate all your family property when you die, you must never tell anyone!
19. Summarize the success or failure of others, but you can ignore foreign cases
Don't envy the success of others, and don't despise the failure of others. The first thing you should do is to learn to analyze and summarize the essence behind the phenomenon, find out all the reasons for the failure or success of others, take the long and make up for the short, and do what you should do yourself; while foreign stories like Microsoft are too far away from you, you can ignore them, so in a certain sense, the existing MBA is not of much practical significance for you doing business in China!
20. Don't use black and white rules to resolve business conflicts
Business is always business, and business has its own rules of the game, so even if you are indeed a gangster, you cannot use the rules of the underworld to solve business conflicts. Similarly, if you have a good white background and resources, you cannot easily use these resources to solve your conflicts in business! Since you have chosen a businessperson, you must abide by all the rules of the game in business, and you have to admit defeat if you are willing to gamble!
21. On the premise of being able to grasp the overall situation, don't pursue hands-on experience
Don't let yourself have no time to communicate with friends, and don't let yourself have no time to soak up women and the Internet. The most important thing is not to let yourself have no time to relax and think. Therefore, you should learn to let others help you manage business and handle business. Although the core part of the business must be firmly grasped by yourself, you should consider the risks of leaving things to others and be able to prevent them, so as not to leave things to others and become a busy firefighter yourself. Remember that there is a difference between firefighting and firefighting. The slogan of firefighting is "combination of firefighting, prevention first".
22. Leave a way out for yourself to prevent people from betraying you
You can regroup after years of silence, but you can't fall and never get up again, because you are a man! So you must leave yourself a back road, including hiding a piggy bank, although there are only a few dollars in it, but you will have to rely on these dollars to make a comeback in the future; the back road also includes a house that is not in your name in the legal sense (you can have a place to heal and recover), but also includes a friend who is not often in contact but is very righteous and you have given him a lot of help (he can take you in at a critical time, accompany you to drink, and you are lucky to meet such a friend in your life); if there is really no way out, then you must be mentally prepared to go to the street to beg, but at that time you can only go to strangers, and never help you in the past They still owe you a lot of debt or favors, but they pretend they don't know you.
