National Tide 1980.

Some people say that the northerners are all talking but not practicing.

A lot of people are talking about being extremely fierce, saying what we are rushing up to do, it’s hype, but in their hearts they think about it, I have to be the last one.

Therefore, the northerners always say that what they say is in vain, and there is no actual action.

In the 90s, there was a joke aimed at this characteristic of northerners.

It is said that several northerners and a southerner ate at the same table.

One of the northerners said, what kind of good opportunity is there recently to make money.

The northerners who were present all said yes, and the response was "You just need to take the lead, and we will follow."

Only the southerners just silently smiled and listened without making any comments.

As a result, all the northerners, including the one who mentioned it first, didn't take any practical actions, so they just ignored it.

On the contrary, only the southerners really tried it, and then they really made money.

The funniest thing is when the southerner pays for the dinner and thanks the northerner for his advice at the banquet.

Not only was this person unexpectedly surprised, but he also complained a lot because of it.

The other northerners actually blamed him together.

"Hey, there is such a good thing, why did you just tell him and not us?"

See, this obviously exposes the image of northerners as clowns to the world in a way that exposes scars.

But having said that, although this phenomenon is common, it cannot be simply concluded that southerners are shrewd and pragmatic, while northerners are stupid and hypocritical.

Because this phenomenon cannot be separated from a specific objective environment, the position of this joke is also unfair.

Although it is very likely that this matter is true, it may be another matter to really analyze it from the different perspectives of the two parties.

Among other things, I have to reiterate the particularity of the times, this is the 90s.

What are the characteristics of this era?

The iron rice bowl is still there, and most northerners enjoy this stable lifestyle.

This is not the case for the southerners. They are the first to go out of their hometowns, and many more people choose to go out to do business than the northerners.

In addition, one more detail should be paid attention to. In the joke, most of the people in this table are from the north, and there is only one person from the south.

Why is this happening?

Is it the greatest possibility that this dinner was arranged by a city in the north.

So the southerners want to survive in a different place, so they invite guests to curry favor with some people?

Wouldn't it be unfair to compare two groups of people with different living situations, different occupations, or even people with different values?
For example, it is completely conceivable that such a capable and unspoken southerner can get along in a state-run unit?
Conversely, are the few northerners the kind of people who lack economic awareness at all?People who don't value business much in their bones?
Thinking about it this way may also explain why there were more bureaucrats in the north and more businessmen in the south for a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

So in essence, it's still a question of "summer insects can't speak ice".

Different living environments and requirements create different people's living standards and living abilities.

To put it bluntly, even though they are all tortoises, it doesn't make sense for turtles to laugh at tortoises for not being able to swim.

As for Ning Weimin personally, since he is fortunate enough to have gained insight beyond the times, he can overlook life and time.Then through the things that happened around me, we can see this problem more and more clearly.

He found that there were practical examples of this truth everywhere around him.

Most directly, few of the executives in the Pilkton Investment Group could remember to exchange yen for him.

Don't look at drinking, they all agree happily.

Except Qi Yanjun sent him 120 million yen at the official price out of good face.

Manager Sha probably sent him 380 yen at a black market price because he was a philistine who refused to let go of any opportunity.

No one else remembers this stubble anymore.

As for him, he didn't break his promise to gain weight, and he accepted everything except to express his gratitude.

In private, he did tell Qi Yanjun and Manager Sha that the yen is expected to appreciate sharply.

Advise them that even if they don't need the yen in China, they should try their best to exchange their money for more yen.

But that's it.

Whether they are willing to believe it or not, and how much they can do after believing it, is their own problem.

And those other members of the investment group who are busy spending money to enjoy themselves, there are still big gaps in how they consume and how to handle their personal wealth, which can still reflect the different value orientations and knowledge horizons of each person .

Take, for example, the matter of buying a car.

Zhao Daqing, who was born as a college student of workers, peasants and soldiers, ordered a Santana.

Xiao Gu wants to buy Japanese Bluebird, which has something to do with him being young and fond of Japanese electrical appliances.

Some people are loyal fans of Pilkardon, they believe in French products, and they try their best to buy a French car.

Regardless of the horizon, Citroen will do.

This person also likes to save francs, and he basically converts the foreign exchange certificates issued by the company into francs.

Unexpectedly, France, an old capitalist country, is not doing well, and the franc is basically falling every year.

It's better not to make such a mess, and it's more cost-effective to deposit foreign exchange certificates from the beginning.

There is also a person who does not want to buy a car, but only wants to study abroad to continue his studies.

If it weren't for the issue of guarantee, he was rejected twice, and he would have left long ago.

This time he made his own fortune, so he didn't need to guarantee it.

But it is conceivable that this master who dislikes his golden job and dreams of going abroad to wash dishes for foreigners.

Once this critical step is taken wrong, luck can be good or bad.

However, vanity is not necessarily a bad thing, sometimes it will help Ning Weimin.

It's like a few people think they are smart and quietly absorb the zodiac tickets whose prices have not yet reached the bottom in the market, willing to serve as leek seedlings for Ning Weimin to re-fry the zodiac tickets in the future.

Also, the high-end gold lighter jointly launched by Ning Weimin and Zeng Xianzi in the mainland market is also selling well because of the vanity of these people.

At the end of May, at the request of Ning Weimin, Zeng Xianzi sent a total of 5 lighters to the mainland, and every franchise store in the capital city of Pilkardton put a few of them.

Don't even look at the price tag of nearly [-] pieces.

But this kind of "local tyrant gold" has been on the counter for less than two weeks, and there are only eleven pieces left.

It not only promoted the further spread of brand awareness, but also effectively increased the sales volume of clothing.

What is even more surprising is that among the 31 sold, apart from the executives in the investment group having one, even the two company executives who did not participate in the investment group bought one each.

Co-authored alone, Pilkardton Company digested eleven of them.

And this group of people seemed to have made an agreement. Whoever bought this gold lighter would like to show off in public by lighting a cigarette in the company.

As a result, this behavior of showing off wealth was quickly punished.

Don't forget, lighters are all of the same style, so it's easy to confuse them.

Well, when there were some misunderstandings that almost cost a lot of property, no one dared to show off anymore.

Of course, such a market reaction naturally made Zeng Xianzi overjoyed, and he no longer had any worries about cooperating with Ning Weimin.

To be honest, even if the purchases of these executives are not counted, the sales volume of twenty units has far exceeded Zeng Xianzi's expectations.

Even if it is estimated on a national scale, in Zeng Xianzi's view, the annual sales of 500 to [-] pieces is not a problem, that is [-] million plain profit.

If this kind of gold lighter really becomes a landmark item for wealthy people in the Mainland, as Ning Weimin predicted, the number of sales will increase several times, which is very worth looking forward to.

Therefore, Zeng Xianzi not only decided to formally join the group, but also carried out a division of labor and cooperation according to the plan set by Ning Weimin, taking the gold lighter as a new project of the two companies, and vigorously promoting sales in the mainland.

Moreover, in order to reward Ning Weimin for such a good idea, he readily agreed to help Ning Weimin by finding a way to exchange large quantities of Japanese currency for him.

Even if it is a bit inconsistent with mainland policy, it doesn't matter.

Who made Ning Weimin his most important and trusted partner in Pilkardon Company?

In this way, Ning Weimin easily solved the currency exchange problem that would have baffled many people.

It cannot but be said that the blessings and misfortunes of a person's life are actually all the time, and are not influenced by their individual qualities.

When they finally entered old age, they showed different career achievements and family situations, that is, there were huge differences in knowledge, vision, and dealing with others.

If a person is not good at these two aspects, it can only show that he has serious misunderstandings about the world.

If you don't believe it, there is actually another incident that happened to Mr. Pilkardon, which can explain this truth even more.

In May, before the finals of the model competition, the master was invited by the Fashion Culture Correspondence Center to give lectures to students in Beijing.

These students are all from the predecessor of the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, which was still called the Chemical Fiber Engineering Institute's top students from various departments.

Since Ning Weimin was also curious about what the master would say to these students, he took the initiative to act as the driver and escort and went with them that day.

On that day, after the master made a brief introduction to everyone, he went directly to the topic and started the lecture.

The content is about the business model of the three pillar industries of the Pilkardon business kingdom - fashion industry, real estate industry and fast food industry.

After leaving the lecture, the students were aggrieved and asked the Dean of the Fashion Culture Correspondence Center why such a person was invited to give lectures.

The students generally believed that the master was fooling everyone and failed to solve the technical problems of clothing for them.

Standing at the place where the master was lecturing, the dean was in a state of distress, and his head was battered. In fact, he didn't understand the meaning of this class.

Later, he called Pilkardon to express some dissatisfaction.

After Ning Weimin knew what happened, he just wanted to laugh.

Because only he really understood that the master never made any careless perfunctory, it was just that the content of the lecture was too advanced.

These college students in the capital have limited knowledge and have never heard of fashion, real estate, fast food and other words.

If one of the more than 1000 people really understands and follows suit, he will probably become a billionaire in the future.

Unfortunately, apparently not.

Among so many people at the scene, only he, the space-time virus, was mesmerized and benefited a lot.

This is probably called "making people trick people".

Of course, when it comes to the word "good luck", nothing is absolute.

There is also the result of mutual influence and patronage between people, and being able to meet noble people should also be a kind of good fortune.

Even the so-called "transfer" in life mostly comes from this.

Especially when the noble person intends to lend a helping hand to help you.

The little girl Zhang Qiang, it was because of the appearance of Ning Weimin that her fate changed drastically.

From then on, it was as if she was hanging out, far more gorgeous and splendid than when she became famous when she was young.

On May 1985, 5, Zhang Qiang completed the production of the first batch of 21 million tapes.

According to Ning Weimin, a total of 60 copies will be kept for sale in major audiovisual stores in the capital, and the remaining 40 copies will be sent to audiovisual stores in other provinces and cities.

Originally, Feng Chaonian, the general manager of Beijing Branch of Huaxia Records, even persuaded Ning Weimin about this matter.

Because based on his professional experience, he actually felt that an unknown newcomer might not be able to digest [-] dishes in the capital.

No matter what, 30 disks in the capital is more than enough.

Like Su Xiaoming, who just went to study in France this year, the sales volume of his famous work "Night of the Military Port" exceeded one million nationwide, and he only sold this number in Beijing.

It's better to spread it out in an all-round way, so that more people may buy it, and the risk of losing money can be reduced.

But Ning Weimin didn't listen, so Feng Chaonian didn't stop him.

He thought about it again, this guy probably doesn't care about spending other people's money, all he wants is a big money, so he can save face when he speaks out.

Anyway, I already got the 20 yuan for the company, and I persuaded those who should be persuaded, and I never complained.

People don't want to listen, so why be a villain?

Let him go, whoever he loves.

Unexpectedly, the tape was reprinted because of the production and recording, and the tape was marked with a big "stereo".

The tape photos are also taken in a foreign style, and the tapes on the counter are quite eye-catching.

In addition, a large poster was printed and pasted in the audio-visual business point for auxiliary publicity, and the price of the tape was relatively cheap.

This has become cheap and high-quality, and there are really many people who buy it.

Nearly [-] copies were sold in just one week of its launch, and the response was really good.

For this reason, Feng Chaonian called Ning Weimin to announce the good news.

According to his experience, the possibility of the worst blood loss basically does not exist.

His thinking has also changed a lot, thinking that at least this tape can guarantee sales of more than 60 copies, so basically the loss will not be much.

If Ning Weimin hadn't set the circulation at 200 million at the beginning, he could have made a lot of money.

For newcomers, this is already considered a success.

But where is this? Feng Chaonian not only lacks a proper understanding of Ning Weimin's energy, but also underestimates his methods.

He never expected that Ning Weimin could use his power to play tricks, and directly made Zhang Qiang famous.

what's up?Ganqing May 5th is the day of the "Second Splendid Oriental Model Contest Final Awards Ceremony and Reporting Performance.

May 5th is the day for the large-scale fashion show of Pierre Carton's new personal work.

For two consecutive days, grand fashion shows were held in the Workers' Stadium.

Ning Weimin took full advantage of this opportunity and not only arranged for Zhang Qiang, Cui Jian and the seven-plywood band to perform at halftime.

Moreover, a special person was arranged to set up a temporary booth in Gongti, selling Zhang Qiang tapes and giving away posters at the same time.

You must know that there are 2 viewers every day, and more than [-] copies were sold on the first day.

Some people may be curious, why so many?

It's impossible that almost all viewers paid for it, right?
In fact, this is not surprising, isn't it because the performance is so wonderful?

Both Cui Jian and Zhang Qiang were very involved in the live performance of Dare to Love.

When Cui Jian performed on stage, he hoarse on his back for a while, and knelt down to exhaustion for a while, and the audience became emotional.

Because of him a month ago, on May 5, an accident just happened at the same venue.

So in the background, the police were tense with swords and swords. As the co-organizer of the award ceremony, the president of "Fashion" magazine was worried that he would lose control and almost fainted.

In a hurry, he had to ask the host Kan Lijun to come on stage quickly and ask Cui Jian to step down.

As a result, Kan Lijun had just invited Cui Jian down with witty lines, and the president was relieved.

Unexpectedly, it was Zhang Qiang's turn to play.

This girl bounced up and down without fear, and the song "Sala La" shocked the whole audience.

Immediately afterwards, "The Annoying Autumn Wind" sang the whole audience up.

The natural electric voice has attracted countless fans, and its provocative nature is stronger than that of Cui Jian.

What a twists and turns.

The president's head was so big that he almost made a mistake on the spot, and finally repeated the trick to get Zhang Qiang down.

It turned out that the master who had just walked to the entrance of the stage and was wearing a hemp suit with many folds on the back would quit.

He came over to stop her, and brought the girl back to the front of the stage, so tens of thousands of people stirred up again.

As a result, under the pleading of the highly nervous president and the dissuasion of the host Kan Lijun, Zhang Qiang had to give up the songs "Love Me Well" and "Love You Are Hard to Say" that he wanted to sing most, and chose a song opposite "Applause Rumbles" with a gentle rhythm.

But even so, Zhang Qiang's singing voice sang slowly, accompanied by sensational and affectionate lyrics, as the curtain call song of the performance, it also moved the audience.

There were people at the scene who lit their lighters without a teacher, and those who didn't have a lighter took matches to make up for it. This scene is definitely the first time in a domestic performance.

In this way, as soon as the performance is over, the tapes outside are sold out.

Many people bought it for others, and some people bought more than one plate.

For nothing else, Zhang Qiang's wonderful singing is completely suitable for young people, and the resonance is too great.

The live audience is more excited and excited than those models walking on the stage.

Many people quickly forgot who the champion, runner-up and third runner-up were, but Zhang Qiang's performance was always remembered by them.

Even Shi Kaili, who finally won the championship as she wished, and the well-deserved protagonist of the night, felt admiration for Zhang Qiang, a girl who was one year younger than her and came to cheer for her.

The only regret is that all the organizers have been criticized, and the name of Pilkon Company has also been included in the internal reference.

But the master didn't care about it, he only valued the effect of the performance.

If it is sensational enough and eye-catching enough, he will have achieved his goal.
