When he was young, La Foest, the king of French banks, stayed at home for a while because he couldn't find a job. One day, he got up the courage to apply for a job with the chairman of a big bank, but he was rejected by the chairman as soon as he met him.
This is his 52nd experience. Le feaster walked out of the bank in frustration and accidentally got hurt by a pin on the ground. "Everyone is against me!" He said angrily. On the contrary, he thought, I can't let it hurt others any more, so he picked up the pin.
Unexpectedly, Lefest received the employment notice from the bank the next day. He was a little confused when he was excited: wasn't it rejected?
It turned out that just as he squatted down to pick up the pin, the chairman saw it from his eyes. According to this little thing, the chairman thought this was a cautious and considerate person, so he changed his mind and hired him.
Le feaster started his business in this bank and later became the king of French banks.
On the surface, Lester's opportunity is just a chance to pick up a needle. But in fact, it is his precious character that makes success possible, so cultivating good character is an indispensable condition for success.
Moral character can not only make people gain the good feelings of others, but also be an important condition for expanding their career. Facts have proved that if you can handle everything with good moral standards, even those who act excessively can return good for evil, then you will certainly win people's understanding and support.
A customer owes Dieter Wool $65,438+05. One day, the customer stormed into Mr. Dieter's office angrily, saying that he would not only pay the money, but also never spend a penny on Dieter's things in his life. Mr. Dieter patiently let him have a good time, and then said to him, "I want to thank you for coming to Chicago to tell me this." You have helped me a lot. " Because if our trust department bothers you, they may also bother other good customers, which is too unfortunate. Believe me, I want to hear what you told us more than you do. "
The customer never dreamed of hearing these words. Dieter assured him: "Compared with our employees who have to manage thousands of accounts, you are less likely to make mistakes." Since you can't buy wool from us any more, I will recommend some other wool companies to you. "
As a result, the customer signed a bigger order than before. After his son was born, he named him Dieter. Later, he was a friend and client of Dieter Company until his death.
It can be seen that good moral character is indispensable for businessmen. If a person's moral character is good, it may be because a little thing will change his life. Among the four major business groups in the world-Jewish businessmen, Arab businessmen, Indian businessmen and China businessmen, each group has different moral qualities and management wisdom. /kloc-from the end of 0/9 to the middle of the 20th century, Guangdong businessmen, Hakka businessmen and Fujian businessmen became the models of China businessmen, forming a Ji Hua society with strong economic strength all over Southeast Asia. For today's businessmen, the moral cultivation of Guangdong businessmen is enlightening to all businessmen in China.
Weng Jintong, a businessman from Chaozhou, is one of the representatives of successful businessmen in China during this period. He does business in Hong Kong. Although he is a businessman, he is a late bloomer compared with his compatriots Li Ka-shing and Xie Guomin. As a fashion businessman of the older generation, Weng Jintong also pays great attention to the casting of personal character. The greatest revelation he left to future generations is that character cultivation is an important condition for success.
Weng Jintong's ancestors were once brilliant. In the Ming Dynasty, there was an Weng Maida who was an official of the Ministry of War. However, the ancestral shadow is too far away. When Weng Jintong was born 500 years later, the Weng family was no longer an official family, nor was it a scholarly family. Since the family has long since declined, it is inevitable that the family is poor and cheap. The children of the poor came to power very early. Weng Jintong took part in heavy agricultural production at the age of six or seven. He gets up at two o'clock every morning to water the land. When he got up late, he was scolded by his father. When he doesn't need to do farm work, he goes to work as a child laborer. He used to work in the brewery run by his cousin. In the hot summer, he had to use a shovel to continuously send bran fuel into the stove. It's hard for him to do this kind of adult work before shoveling high. During his work, he became seriously ill and almost died. Later, he entered the casino to do odd jobs. His childhood was full of disasters, only labor, no joy. However, this childhood has also brought endless benefits to Weng Jintong, that is, the quality of hard work and a belief that "you have to make money if you live". Without this belief, Weng Jintong could not have become a rich man in his later years after working hard for half his life.
/kloc-at the age of 0/2, Weng Jintong was introduced by his brother-in-law to work in the washing and ironing department of Housheng Drawnwork Company, and was initially exposed to the emerging technology of Chaozhou at that time-drawnwork. Three years later, the boss of Housheng Embroidery Company plans to set up a company in Yantai, Shandong. Weng Jintong is diligent and studious, and is highly valued by his boss. He is often taken with him. At this time, the boss saw that Weng Jintong was gradually maturing in his work, so he handed over the matter of building a branch to him and his two younger brothers. Weng Jintong became the director of Yantai New Company.
During this period, Weng Jintong made a secularized summary of Confucian gentleman philosophy: First, we should talk about marriage ethics, never engage in fallacies outside marriage, never lust after women, and never listen to long speeches. This article may be a bit old-fashioned, but in those days, women had few opportunities for education, and their knowledge and vision were inevitably short-sighted. Therefore, apart from the color itself, it is not a good thing that a profession is influenced by women too much-this is caused by the world at that time, so it is of great practical significance to exclude the factors that discriminate against women. Second, the principle of teaching is generally good, credible and respectful, so don't be fascinated by it. Young people have plenty of time, so they should stay strong and work hard-this is actually to encourage people to join the WTO and not be obsessed with illusory religions. Third, far villains are close to saints. It is difficult to tell the difference between a saint and a villain, so we must understand it in our own life experience. Fourth, the world is dangerous and people are unpredictable. Don't be greedy for petty gain. There are intrigues and traps everywhere in the world. Those who set traps are greedy for profit, so don't be greedy for petty gain. Although I don't take a dime of ill-gotten gains, I'm not afraid of the tricks of traitors. In fact, these four articles all emphasize spiritual cultivation, which has made his future career.
With a persistent and powerful mind, you will naturally have a firm ethics. Don't be too greedy for foreign things, and you will naturally not be deceived by foreign things. This principle, when used in business, can teach people to see the situation clearly and be immune to it, without too much loss for short-term interests or too much influence from non-commercial factors.
1962, Weng Jintong earned capital after more than four years of labor. With this money, he started his own business and established "Jinxing Embroidered Tableware Company" and "Hong Kong Machine Embroidered Bed Cloth Factory". The company is in An Lan Street and the factory is in Weng Jintong's home in Cadogan Street. By this time, Weng's family had settled in Hong Kong. The whole family went into battle and produced under the command of Weng Jintong, and the Weng family business began.
Weng Jintong has an ironclad principle in doing business: he is not greedy and cheap, and he is not tempted by interests.
Because of this, he is not greedy, generous and not carried away by temporary interests, which makes Weng Jintong invincible all the time. His moral character rewrote his life and led to the other side of success.
