Go back to 1990 to start a business

Xian Meng quickly fluttered her long eyelashes a few times. She had made up her mind and turned to Xia Chuan with her dark red cheeks: "You——"

Just after I said a word, I found that the key was too high, so I quickly lowered the octave:

"You sing and shout for so many people you don't know. You are as great as my second brother. You are both the most selfless people in the world..."

What she wanted to say later was, I am willing to be your maid, and I will no longer be a princess.

But Xia Chuan waved his hand and cut it off:

"Xiaomeng, I promised your second brother to train you to be successful. Today I will teach you the first lesson. If you want to become a qualified entrepreneur, you must admit an economic premise: people are selfish."

Xian Meng was stunned for a moment, then said displeasedly: "You can be humble, but don't take my second brother with you. He is the best man in the world. If he hadn't wanted me, I would have been his wife."

Xia Chuan's whole body shook, his head became confused, and he almost fell asleep.

"How many days have you been in primary school?"

“What do you mean a few days?”

"Okay," Xia Chuan scratched his hair and sighed: "You have a strong ability to educate yourself. Well, education reform is imperative... By the way, where did you say just now? Your brother is selfish... "

"You are selfish!" Xian Meng screamed angrily.

"I am indeed selfish. But why did your second brother buy you new clothes and not buy them for Ran Hong downstairs? Isn't this selfish?"

Xian Meng said angrily: "I'm my sister, what's going on with Ran Hong?"

Xia Chuan spread his hands:

"You see, just because you are his sister, Ran Hong is not his sister. In other words: if it is his, buy it, if it is not his, don't buy it. It's that simple. This is called selfishness.

True selflessness is, do you see those people who can’t find a job?Many of them have no food to eat, no place to sleep, and their clothes are in tatters. Don’t they need new clothes more than you do?

Your second brother should each be given a set of clothes, with money for food in his pocket, and no one should know.Maintain their self-esteem, don't let others think it is a charity of mercy, satisfy their need to be respected, and make them feel that they have the value of existence. This is called selflessness.

Has your second brother ever done this?I don’t think any philanthropist does this. "

Xian Meng's mouth opened slightly, her eyes squinted, and she couldn't answer.

It would be extremely difficult to overthrow Xia Chuan without graduating from elementary school.

But suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and blurted out:

"Buying clothes for me, what benefit does the second brother get? Where is the selfishness?"

Xia Chuan secretly appreciated it and answered seriously:

"He got his emotional needs met."

Xian Meng's cheeks turned dark red again, and she asked nervously: "What do you mean?"

Xia Chuan said calmly: "Human needs are divided into five levels. The first level: physiological needs. The second level: safety needs. The third level: emotional needs. The fourth level: respect needs. The fifth level: self-worth needs.

When the first level of physiological needs cannot be met, there is no second level of safety needs.In other words, when you don't have enough to eat, you don't think about safety, emotion, respect, respect, or whether your life is valuable.

But when 'life' is guaranteed, emotional needs come.People all have emotions, and they all need family, love, friendship, and communication. This can also be called social needs.

For example, if I buy clothes for you, I will gain a strong sense of family affection and a high degree of emotional pleasure.He did it to satisfy his own needs.Therefore, buying clothes for you is selfish, but buying clothes for someone you don’t know is selfless. OK? "

Xian Meng's big eyes flickered for a long time, and she asked doubtfully: "Since everyone is selfish, why do radio and television talk about selfless dedication every day?"

Xia Chuan sighed and said softly:

"In the far north, there is a superpower that is beginning to disintegrate. Do you know why it has reached this point?

Because Lao Maozi does not admit that people are selfish, or that he believes that selfish people can be transformed into selfless people.

It failed.

Selfishness has left the country rotten beyond repair.

Let us assume that people can be transformed into selfless people, and the transformer does have the power of God. What will that person be like?Frankenstein?No joy, anger, sorrow or joy?I have no idea.My intuition is that it is scarier than selfish people.

In today's world, fewer and fewer people believe in selfless dedication, and more people use charity to increase their halo. In fact, they are still pursuing self-interest.

Fortunately, our society is finally on the right track. Private enterprises are allowed to develop and start to grow. Although they are still fragile and the word "private" is not even allowed to be used, no matter what kind of joint venture it is, the essence is correct.This small sapling will grow vigorously until it can cover the sky and the sun, flourish for hundreds of years, and lead the world. "

Xiaomeng's eyes burned brightly, and she finally understood that this selfishness was not a derogatory meaning.

Once the knot was untied, she easily agreed with Xia Chuan's point of view, and at the same time she was deeply impressed.

Xiaomeng said seriously: "I couldn't understand the people in the social education team before. Now that I think about it, it's not my fault, it's their poor quality."

Xia Chuan smiled faintly and continued:

"Ignore them. You will never become an entrepreneur by learning from them. Now let me tell you the second lesson: Since human nature is selfish, competition is omnipresent.

How well you understand competition determines how far you can go.

Even in a society with a planned economy, competition is endless.

The law of the jungle is competition, the struggle for power is competition, the back door, seniority, privileges for the powerful, etc. are all competition.

Therefore, you must understand the second cornerstone: anything that more than one person needs, there must be competition.

Whether it is goods, services, friendship, fame, air, women, children, sea cucumbers and abalone wings, family happiness, river maples and fishing fires, the bright moon in the mountains, peerless appearance, great reputation, beautiful singing voices, beautiful memories, advanced ways of thinking...

These are all things that can compete, and the reason for the competition is that they all need it, but they have different levels of demand.

If we want to compete, we must have rules of the game.We must abide by the rules of the game set by the state.But what if the country has not set the rules of the game, or the rules of the game are incomplete? "

Xiaomeng blurted out: "We make the rules!"

Xia Chuan was surprised to find that this little girl was indeed Xian Duxing's younger sister.

He nodded and smiled: "You're right, the key to making money is to be the one who makes the rules. For example, in real estate, what are the rules now? What are the loopholes? How can we become the ones who make the rules?"

She stared and thought for a while, then said seriously:

“When you build affordable housing, you set the rules.”

Xia Chuan was slightly surprised. Did she really see so clearly, or was she blind?
