"My thoughts on investment and trading are different from yours. Don't think too much about me. However, it is a fact that doing things through joint stock is good for both parties. You are my cousin. If you propose a joint stock, I will naturally not refuse."
"Cousin, please don't withdraw your shares! What I just said was out of my mind. I have only been in private school for two years. This makes little sense. Please explain it to me!"
"Forget about other things, everyone has a temper or hobby. But when it comes to trouble, you can't be vague about things. Everyone's affairs have been delayed due to personal reasons, so we have to discuss it carefully. In principle, we can't touch it.
Red line."
Xiong Shaotang immediately nodded and looked at his cousin sincerely, hoping that he would say a few words about him, and finally relieved his anger.
The second master looked at his cousin's pitiful look and couldn't help but feel funny.
He also knew that his cousin was incompetent, not pure-hearted, and not a kind person, but he was the only person his mother could use.
My second uncle's cousin is in junior high school. She is very smart and has a good heart. However, even if she is the right age, there are many inconveniences for a girl to go out to do things. You can't rely on her to help you do things.
My cousin is only ten years old this year. He is still a child. What he wants to do is now the time when he is employing people. Water at a distance cannot solve the fire at a distance.
My aunt got married and moved to Peking. The family didn't come back very often, so they couldn't be of much help.
The second aunt devoted herself to Buddhism. Although she lived in her grandfather's house and was not ordained, she did not care about worldly affairs and only knew how to eat fast and recite Buddha's name.
His eldest brother is the clan leader, and he cannot call anyone from the Yong family without permission.
After thinking about it, I realized that the only one I could use was the cousin in front of me, which was a helpless move.
After spending some time with his cousin, the second master figured out everything about his cousin's problems and his messy social circle.
The second master is well aware of the principle that "a situation is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change". If he wants to correct his cousin's long-standing problem, he has to work hard.
Now, when he saw that his second brother was sincerely asking for advice from him, he said in a calm tone: "Business is just a matter of dealing with and coordinating the words 'buy' and 'sell', and it cannot be separated from dealing with people.
Making money is important, but making friends is equally important. To do these two things well, the only word is 'integrity'. Cousin, can you explain to me what 'integrity' is?"
To be honest, Xiong Shaotang never thought about these two words in his mind, but he never regretted what he said, but if he wanted to get a promise from him, he would have to go to heaven.
The second master knew his cousin's temper, so he deliberately asked him at this time, just to make him think carefully and to see if he understood deeply.
Xiong Shaotang scratched his head and said: "I know that if you don't have faith, you have to be a good person first. If you don't keep your word, you are actually a villain. I don't want to be a villain. Of course, I also know that my problems are nothing.
He is a gentleman, but he is not a bad person either!"
The second master was also amused by his words. He pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Cousin, it seems that in your heart, the word 'faith' is more important. I'm afraid the word 'sincerity' has to be put aside.
Yeah?"
This seemed like a joke, but it was a serious proposition. It made Xiong Shaotang open his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer.
The second master put the index finger of his right hand into his tea cup and dipped it in it. He used his finger as a pen to write the word "Yan" on the table and said: "The treasure gate above represents 'Heaven', and the three characters on each of our heads are
There are gods in every ruler, and God is watching what people do. You cannot do anything arbitrarily, otherwise you will be punished by God.
There are two horizontal lines in the middle, which represent "people". They should behave uprightly and stand upright. A gentleman can be harmonious but different, but will not do evil by questioning.
The word 'mouth' below means people's words, and the words spoken are the evidence, and the words must be fulfilled. The upright heart is the mouth, the cycle of black and white is the sun, and the reflection of the sun and the moon is the brightness. All the meanings have rules to follow."
Seeing Xiong Shaotang listening to him carefully, the second master dipped his finger in water again and wrote the word "成" next to the word "yan" he had just written.
After writing, the second master pointed to the word "sincerity" he had written, looked at his cousin and said: "Only when you understand what you are saying, and determine what you want to express, and whether it is your true wish."
, will you be able to show sincerity to others, gain trust from others, and be convinced by others. Therefore, "integrity" means "sincerity" first and then "earning trust". There is no reverse truth in the world, or a truth that only values trust without sincerity. There is no truth.
It is impossible to be honest and trustworthy. Cousin, do you understand the meaning of the word 'integrity'?"
Xiong Shaotang, who was speaking directly to the second master, nodded frequently, and his expression was moved by every word.
No wonder I have a lot of friends over the years, but how many people do I have close friendships with?
"Cousin, I want to make more profits. Is it wrong?"
"Cousin, the purpose of doing business is to make money. This idea is correct.
But 'a gentleman loves money and gets it wisely', and some profits cannot be earned.
When a fish goes from the water to the table, the people who handle it include fishing, transporting, selling, cooking and serving. Everyone has put in their own labor and should be rewarded, that is, sharing this fish
fish.
There are people who eat fish and people who drink soup, so we can’t miss them.
If you blindly want to monopolize the fish or eat the best parts of the fish, regardless of others, once it will chill people's hearts, twice it will make people resentful, and three times it will make people jealous, and what happens after that
, you are not stupid, just think about it yourself, anything can happen.
What's the trouble if things that are supposed to be happy for everyone turn into unpleasant things or go wrong?"
"But the cost of goods shipped from Fujian through the original channel is too high. The more I think about it, the more I feel unwilling to do so. We have invested money and risked losing money to do business. Those people only contribute their efforts and do not take risks.
Why do you still make so much money?"
"Cousin, you can't say that. It took more than a month for the goods to come to us from the place of production. We didn't handle them, so we don't know the hardships involved, but you can imagine the process.
We have signed a contract with the freight company. If the goods are accidentally lost, they will compensate according to the price. This is what they eat, so naturally they will bear this insurance.
Now, if you ask Dongzi to pick up the goods directly, and then load the goods yourself and transfer them to the waterway, the cost will be saved, but all the risks will be borne by us.
Not to mention whether Dongzi can handle this on his own, but we have never walked through this waterway before. What if something goes wrong in the middle, not to mention the loss of goods, but what if something happens to people?
This is a move that outweighs the gains and losses. Why take such a big risk just for a little money?"
