What is the motivation to make money?

The love of money is the driving force to acquire wealth. The greater the motivation, the more powerful the action, the more methods, and the more money you earn.

A strong desire to make money

There is a classic fable about Jews' treatment of money to illustrate this problem: an Englishman, an American and a Jew are together. The Jew asked the other two people, "What about the money donated by the believers in your church dedication box?"

The Englishman said, "I will draw a straight line on the ground and then throw all the money in the dedication box into the sky." What falls to the right of the straight line on the ground is the money belonging to God, which is used as the fund of the church; " What falls to the left of the straight line is my salary, and I will stay and let myself live. "

Then the American said, "I am almost like you, except that I draw a circle on the ground." Of course, the circle can't be drawn too big! " What falls in the circle is dedicated to God, and what falls outside the circle is my private money. "

At this time, the Jews who regard money as their life could not help but speak: "You are too much trouble. I don't draw any straight lines or circles at all. My method is simple. I just threw the money donated by believers directly into the sky. If God wants it, let him take it. If God doesn't want it, it will fall to the ground. They are all mine. "

Jews love money like life, because they love money so much that even the God they believe in can stand aside. Jews' love for money and enthusiasm for business make them try their best to make money, so they can become the world's number one businessman.

On the issue of money, Wenzhou people who are called "Oriental Jews" will certainly be different.

There is a saying in China: When an alien comes to China, Beijingers bring the alien back for research, Shanghainese bring the alien to Shanghai for exhibition, Cantonese will try whether the alien can eat, and Wenzhou people will ask, "What business can you do on other planets?"

Such a strong desire to make money is the first element of Wenzhou people's success. No Wenzhou people hide their desire to get rich, and this desire is always exciting in their blood. "Give me money or give me death" is their life creed.

Yu Shixiong is an outstanding representative of the third generation of overseas Chinese in Wenzhou. He was born in Singapore, grew up in the Netherlands, studied in Australia, and got a master's degree from Oxford University in England ... Although Wenzhou seems far away from him, the tradition that Wenzhou people want to make money from generation to generation continues on him. He chose to major in finance because when he was a child, he was always excited when he saw his father who opened the books. But he is not interested in law or literature. I hope he can become a Wenzhou native who wants to make money all day.

Twenty years ago, some people laughed at Wenzhou people's "three stinks": smelly feet-unsanitary; Smelly mouth-love to swear; Copper stink-love money like life. After 20 years, the first two smells of Wenzhou people have probably improved, but the copper smell on his body seems to be more serious.

Haisi creativity

Desire is one of the most important motivating factors in people's lives. It can be said to be the source of strength. No matter what you do, you will succeed step by step as long as you have the urge to desire. Wenzhou people can start a business in an extremely difficult environment and succeed step by step. The most fundamental driving force is a strong desire to make money.

Wenzhou people's desire to make money and the impulse to start a business seem to be innate. Almost everyone is eager to have their own business and have the opportunity to be their own boss. Almost all Wenzhou people are doing business and setting up factories, either doing business at home or going out into the world. At the beginning of reform and opening up, Wenzhou people did not have enough capital to start a business. People with some money use the existing equipment at home to open workshops and small factories. People who have no money go out to shine shoes, cotton, glasses or pick sugar to work hard and quickly complete the original accumulation of capital.

With a certain economic strength, Wenzhou people started a second venture, from small boss to big boss. In such a strong atmosphere, the idle people panic, the lazy people feel uncomfortable, and the poor people are unhappy, so everyone has the impulse to start a business, forming a situation in which "everyone wants to start a business and everyone wants to make money". In the eyes of Wenzhou people, there is no unprofitable business. The key is whether you want to find gold or start a business. I'm afraid I can't do it, but I'm afraid I can't think of it. How can people make money if they don't even have the desire to start a business? This is the first secret for Wenzhou people to make money.

Today, 4/5 of the 7.5 million Wenzhou people are engaged in industry and commerce, and 6.5438+0.6 million Wenzhou people travel all over the country, with 500,000 people worldwide. From Mohe to Hainan; From the foot of Tianshan Mountain to Lhasa, the roof city of the world; From Zhejiang Village in Beijing (actually Wenzhou Village) to Wenzhou Street in Paris, London, Rome and new york. Where there are crowds, there are Wenzhou businessmen.

In short, people will never go home unless they come out to be human. It is their goal to go back to their hometown in clothes. If they return to their hometown, it is time for them to go home successfully. Even if they fail, they will get up again and continue to work. With such determination, what else can you do?

Ambition is the driving force.

The boss of a waste recycling company, because of an unexpected stimulus, inspired his ambition to make money and wrote a different chapter in his life.

A few years ago, he couldn't even afford human tricycles. He makes a living by picking up wine bottles, cans and cans at railway stations and other places. One day, in front of the Buick in front of a luxury hotel, he found a crushed can, so he went to the car and picked it up without hesitation.

Just as he was about to pick up the shriveled can, the door in the back seat slowly opened. A middle-aged lady with glasses walked gracefully out of the door and asked him in a gentle voice, "Excuse me, boss, how can I get to Wuyang Park?" At this time, he straightened up and politely and gentlemanly explained the route to Wuyang Park.

Not only did he not pick up the jar again, but the tie dungeon remembered the license plate number of the car. Then, he went to a small restaurant and drank three glasses of draft beer in one breath. Then he went straight back to his residence, crying his head off, and slept for half an afternoon ... Three days later, he borrowed from the east and the west to raise the start-up funds for setting up a waste recycling company. After 3 months, he paid off all the loans; Three years later, he also became the owner of a Buick.

When the "boss" really became the boss, the first thing he did was to inquire about the location of the Buick and the elegant hostess. Then he drove thousands of miles to find the lady who changed his life's fate because of an unintentional remark. When he thanked the lady in person, he was surprised to learn that the lady was highly nearsighted.

In people's impression, "ambition" seems to have always been a derogatory term, and "ambition", "ambition" and "ambition" are not good words. Practically speaking, there is nothing wrong with having "ambition" in itself. To some extent, it is the most powerful and inexhaustible motive force for people to achieve their careers.

Ambition is the most powerful guarantee of success. As the saying goes, soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers! Ambition is actually ambition, ideal and goal. The desire to make money is the ambition to make money. The more ambitious you are, the more money you will earn.

Xiao Shaojing, from Wenzhou, left his hometown at the age of 16 and came to Nanjing for development. The initial start-up capital is only 100 yuan. Three years later, she began to build her own "bright eye" brand with the 500,000 yuan she earned. 19 years old, rented two glasses counters in a shopping mall and started a business. Today, 28-year-old Xiao Shaojing owns 12 chain stores with assets exceeding 10 million. "Bright glasses" has become a household name.

"From the age of 16, I have a dream of being a boss. Facts have proved that no matter how low your starting point is, everyone can realize their dreams as long as they work hard. " This is her experience. She also said that in the past, Nanjing people had a bad impression of Wenzhou people, saying that we were "small Wenzhou", slippery and would take advantage of loopholes. Even so, these words cannot shake Wenzhou people's desire to make money.

Xiao Shaojing admits that Nanjing bosses often stay "poorer than each other". If I can earn 30 thousand a month, considering that others only earn 8 thousand, my heart will suddenly be full of superiority and I will naturally lose my motivation Wenzhou businessmen are "richer than others". Xiao Shaojing always thinks: Maybe at the moment when he began to enjoy himself, his competitors who spy on my market share caught up. Compared with other bosses, I may still be worse.

Being poor is like becoming rich.

In the development history of more than 5,000 years, Jews have been persecuted and exiled many times, and have been living a precarious life. But because of this, they must make money. The more money they earn, the better their living conditions and the more secure they feel psychologically, so they try their best to make money.

Wenzhou people's desire to make money is similar to that of Jews, and one of the main reasons is poverty! Although Wenzhou people can suffer a lot from doing business, they can't tolerate poverty.

Wenzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea, most of which are high mountains and deep valleys. This road is as difficult as Shu. In this regard, Meng Haoran once described in his poem: "I am a country with poor water, and I sail alone." When will you arrive in Yongjia? "Until 1989, among the four open cities along the coast/kloc-0, only Wenzhou had neither a railway nor an airport.

Due to the congenital deficiency of natural conditions and being located in the coastal defense outpost, for a long time, the state has invested little in economic construction except building necessary military facilities in Wenzhou from a strategic perspective. In the 30 years after liberation, the national team invested only 600 million yuan in the fixed assets of Wenzhou industry, and Wenzhou did not even have a large state-owned enterprise. The urban landscape is dilapidated and the infrastructure is backward, so that "girls and little sisters-in-law run all over the street with dung buckets" has always been a pain that Wenzhou people are ashamed to say.

Therefore, Wenzhou people really want to make money, get rid of poverty and improve their living conditions. At the beginning of the reform and opening-up, they ignored the criticism from the outside world and went through hardships to start their own business. Despite the ups and downs, they didn't stop making money because of external pressure.

Suffering from poverty, Wenzhou people hate poverty, so Wenzhou people love money. Because money can make them live a good life and live with dignity. The love of money is the driving force of wealth. The greater the motivation, the more powerful the action, the more methods and the more money you earn, which are all in direct proportion. Jews and Wenzhou people are the best examples.
