Although Jews were once accused of unwarranted charges because of racial discrimination, it is undoubtedly a wise appreciation to say that others are like Jews now. In our country, there is a place where people are called "Oriental Jews". I believe everyone has an answer at this time, that is, Chaoshan people. Many well-known entrepreneurs in China are Chaoshan people, and their shrewd business acumen makes them a generation myth in China. So why do Chaoshan people do so much business? I will analyze it for you today.
The first geographical location, Chaoshan is surrounded by the sea, and there is not much land available for planting. People can't support themselves by planting, so many people will choose to go out to work to make a living and travel around the world. In the process of going out to work, they saw the benefits of doing business. Since then, many Chaoshan people have started to develop into businesses. Today, the word "business" seems to have been engraved in the bones of Chaoshan people, and I have been thinking about doing business like this since I was studying.
Second, unity. The unity of Chaoshan people is also famous throughout the country. Even if two strangers can speak Chaoshan dialect, they can have a good chat. If they find business opportunities, they will share them with others and get rich together. Chaoshan people who "get rich first and then get rich" are not just talking about it. They will really prove it with their own practical actions, because they know that it is difficult for them to become bigger and stronger, and only by uniting can they have good development. Therefore, unity is very important.
Third, frugality is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, which is carried forward by Chaoshan people. As mentioned just now, the land in Chaoshan area is scarce, and most people can only support themselves by working, but in the past, the labor force was very cheap, which forced Chaoshan people to develop the habit of thrift. Although many big bosses in Chaoshan spend money like water, have you ever thought about what their life was like before they started their business?
Fourth, courage, the opportunity to succeed is often hard-won, but many people miss the opportunity because of indecision. Chaoshan people are very courageous, and they will try their best to fight for every opportunity. If they fail, they will start all over again. This adventurous spirit is constantly affecting the descendants of Chaoshan people. Children have a brave and unyielding blood since childhood.
I know this mainly because my college roommates are all Chaoshan people. During the four years with them, I have learned a lot, and the above four viewpoints are also the qualities I see from them.
