Although the season has entered the spring, but Lao Yang did not feel the warmth of spring. In his heart there is still occasionally a burst of coldness. "Business is getting harder and harder to do," he has been saying lately.
Lao Yang's business in Dongguan. Dongguan used to have a reputation as the world's factory, with factories and production lines everywhere, making a lot of headway for the economy and employment. But with exports in the doldrums and orders decreasing, coupled with increasingly expensive labor, many factories have closed. And now as Lao Yang said, "more than half of the private enterprises are struggling ...... There have been hard times in past years, but never this hard."
Most of Lao Yang's factory orders are for products that are exported. At its peak, it had more than 500 employees. Often have to work overtime for months on end to fulfill orders, and for a while the most important job of Lao Yang's wife was to recruit people every day, as if the number of employees was not enough.
But the good times didn't last long. In recent years, prices have fallen, orders have declined, and labor costs have become more and more expensive. With fewer orders and more expensive labor, the number of employees had to be cut, and now one-third of the staff in the large factory is already considered a lot. But "reduce the staff and lead to a reduction in orders, and often have to subsidize the money to pay wages, and so on this factory is afraid to maintain. Lao Yang's business is stuck in a dead cycle.
"Perhaps another one or two large orders, will be able to save the immediate decline? "Lao Yang himself in the heart of the silent prayer, after all, survival is more important than anything else.
Just when Lao Yang needed orders, the orders themselves found Lao Yang. A message came from abroad asking Lao Yang to quote a price. Lao Yang carefully quoted the price and waited for the other party's reply. If this order was made, the year at hand could be spent.
At the time, Lao Yang's wife, Xiao Lu, was attending my teaching in Fuzhou to learn the knowledge of Qi Men Dun Jia.
Receiving a call from Lao Yang, Xiao Lu was both happy and apprehensive. Happy is the performance has hope, apprehensive is currently tight funds, if you do this single, there are still some funding gaps to plan.
So in class, she brought up the issue and wanted to predict the prospects of this order using the Qimen Dunjia.
I asked Lui to line up her own handicap in class, and then we all analyzed it together.
Meet the actual practice, the scene of a dozen people are excited, enthusiastically expressed their views.
The students' learning progress varies, the level of high and low, but eventually came to a unanimous conclusion: although the order is very large but difficult to close, Lao Yang this business can not be done.
Is the analysis accurate? It takes time to verify.
After three or four months, Xiaolu released a message in the student group, confirming that the order was not done.
Lao Yang's crisis was not resolved. He became more and more pessimistic, "There is no need to suffer more unnecessary sins for the so-called ideal, by the end of the year to recover all the payments, the money is already enough to spend. In the end, it was better to plan to close down the factory and forget about it. "
Lao Yang's two children are already working and studying in the United States. He is planning to sell his family's assets and emigrate to the US after recovering all the money. If that's the case, Dongguan will have one less down-to-earth industrial boss and one more consumer billionaire on the other side of the ocean. Lao Yang's choice is not an isolated incident, there have been countless entrepreneurs who were once full of enthusiasm to benefit society with their industries have chosen to abandon their industries, and even abandoned the country they love.
Are things really this pessimistic?
I don't see it that way.
Through so many years of studying destiny, I have found that: just as there is an oasis in the desert, there are people in the same industry who are losing money when everyone is making money; and likewise, there are people who are making money when everyone is losing money.
I can tell you for sure,
Every suffering gives birth to new life.
At a time when all industries are in the doldrums, there are bound to be segments of the industry that buck the trend. If you are lucky enough to find such a dark horse and ride it, then wait for the crisis to pass and you will ride out of the crowd.
How can you spot such an opportunity?
Being caught up in the mediocre running around only clogs up your ears and prevents you from perceiving the true state of the world.
Do you believe that?
What is yours, no one else can take away; what is not yours, you can't get even if you fight.
If you believe that, you can conserve your energy and make no unnecessary effort.
Then create enough space for yourself to think.
Exercise, make friends, bullshit, read, think, travel, have kids, raise kids, honor your parents.
Relax, block out anxiety, and live and enjoy what life has given you like every ordinary person.
You have to hold yourself firmly and keep investing in yourself.
This is what Fu Zi said about cultivating the body, aligning the family, ruling the country, and calming the world.
Starting from zero, you go from cultivating your body to aligning your family, to ruling the country, and then leveling the world. How far have you come?
Without discussing whether Lao Yang and Xiao Lu's family have really gone abroad, let's analyze the day's Qimen Dunjia disk game again.
Doing predictive analysis, whether it is career, marriage, fortune, study, trading and anything else, the first thing to look at the big picture. If the pattern is good, the chances of things coming to fruition are more, while if the pattern is not good, the chances of failure in doing things are greater.
In the Qimen Tanjia prediction art, the big pattern is reflected in the overall structure of the disk, the four aspects of the timing, geographical advantage, human and divine help.
From the point of view,
The nine stars and ten stems, which represent the timing and geographical advantage, are all in the state of antinomian, which indicates that the progress of things is repeated and halfway through the process.
The eight gates, which represent the harmony of people, are in a state of ambiguity. The eight gates are the masters of affairs, and our daily cooperation and interaction between people belongs to the category of harmony of people, and business can only be done when the harmony of people is smooth. And the ambrosia indicates that things are not progressing.
The worst thing about doing business is encountering counter, ambush, door, and compulsion. In this disk situation has encountered the two major obstacles of the anti-Ging and Fuyin. It can be described as an unfavorable start, and the chances of success are very slim in terms of the general pattern.
The Time Stem is the Birth Stem and the Birth Gate is the Birth Stem, and business comes to you on its own accord.
The Day Stem C is in the Qian Palace, in the state of entering the grave, and one's luck is not good.
The Time Stem Dec meets the obstruction of the Earth Stem G. It is difficult to accomplish things.
Shengmen and Jiazi Wu are money. The Shengmen is ambiguous and the Azi Wu is restrained by the Day Stem and counter-chanted. It is not possible to receive this money.
Things are blocked and money cannot be collected, so even if business comes to you, it is not done in the end.
