Richest man

Chapter 29 Asia: Sheri Arison (2)
Few of the Jews who immigrated to Israel from the United States ever returned to settle in the United States.Cheri's special status made her angrily leave even more eye-catching, and her long-distance travel caused huge repercussions in Israel.In Israel, everyone from the president to scholars and newspaper editors have linked Sheri Arison's behavior with a lack of patriotism, as if her departure was a defection of disloyalty to the country.There was a heated debate in Israel about this, and Sheri Arison still had to endure the pressure of public opinion from the Israeli media even in the United States.Israeli President Katsav has publicly commented that he does not care about the losses caused by Sheri Arison’s suspension of donations to the fund, but he believes that Sheri Arison’s actions have set a very bad example for the Jewish people. Wish all Jews would stay in Israel, but Sheri Arison's decision has negative repercussions."

Israelis seem to show little nostalgia for their richest man, but show merciless contempt for the wealthy elite, saying: "As soon as Sheri Arison leaves Israel, she is no longer part of our country." The richest man."

The controversy goes far beyond that.Sheri quietly took her and her second husband's son to Florida when she left Israel. In May [-], Michael Dosman, who divorced Cheri, immediately sued Cheri for kidnapping.The protracted kidnapping lawsuit ended with Sheri taking her son back to Israel to return to her ex-husband.Cheri sold some of her Carnival stock during her return to the United States.Israel's tax authorities did not forget to collect income tax from her because of her departure.The scandal of Cheri evading [-] million dollars in taxes has been heated up again by the Israeli media.

Sheri Arison is in the midst of troubles and lawsuits that she can't explain.She has repeatedly asked the media to give her a minimum of respect, but the response she received was ridicule and even abuse from Israeli public opinion.

However, the Jerusalem Post defended Cheri Arison, arguing that she is also a private citizen and has the right to leave Israel to live in another country. "Sheri Arison is so rich, she could have had a life that many people can't achieve, but she chose to return home, and with good intentions. Now she feels abandoned, ridiculed and vilified. Sadly left Israel. These injustices were imposed on her by our society and the media. Sheri Arison's departure is a great loss for everyone. Besides, patriotism should not be so narrow, In today's globalized economy, if Sheri Arison believes her career is better served in Florida than in Israel, she should leave."

Contrary to The Jerusalem Post's point of view is Ha'aretz.The newspaper's columnist retorted that if Rockefeller was such an American consortium giant, would he have left the United States just because of the abuse of some tabloids and withdrew all charitable donations.

In the United States, some media also began to mock Sheri Arison.When she returned to Miami to hold a press conference to explain the reasons for her departure from Israel, a Miami media sarcasm Sheri Arison said: "Actually, I am not particularly interested in Sheri Arison, but there are three things that make her leave Israel." I can't figure it out. First of all, I would like to advise Sheri Arison, why do you always look so disheveled when you appear in public Sheri Arison, you have so much money in the bank, why don't you want to Spend some money to get a haircut and buy clothes that fit better. Secondly, since you are already tired of being followed by the media, why do you have to work so hard and hold a press conference when you come back this time? Isn’t this giving others another chance to write a good article? Why didn't you learn to be good this time and keep a low profile? Last point, you once said, '3000 million to 5000 million dollars is indeed a lot of money, but for the amount I donate to public welfare, It's nothing'. Yes, 5000 million means nothing to you, but it's a lot to Israel's huge unemployed and impoverished class. If you don't believe it, just ask them if they agree with you View."

…………

In June 2004, Cheri issued a statement stating that during the period of time she left Israel, she felt that Israel was her favorite, and she was willing to return to live in Israel, reach a compromise with the Israeli tax authorities, and continue the charitable donations of the Arison family .But by this point, the Israeli media was not cooperating at all, and apart from a brief report on Sheri's return, they seemed to have lost all interest in her - they no longer considered her the richest man in the country.And for a person who has nothing to do with him, who would be interested in paying attention to it?

Sheri Arison: Will the motherland forgive her?

For Sheri Arison, perhaps wealth is not the main issue, but the understanding of the motherland.

In 2004, the British "Financial Times" reported that Howard Frank, Carnival's chief operating officer, said that in 2004 alone, Carnival's third-quarter turnover was US$32 billion, with a net profit of US$10.25 billion, a year-on-year increase of US$7.34 million. The net profit of US$2.5 million increased significantly, setting a record for the best fiscal quarter.With the strong warming up of holiday travel methods, not only the number of Carnival tourists has increased by 2003% compared with 17, but the bookings have also been made earlier than in previous years. Therefore, the group plans to add 2006 more cruise ships before December 12. Lee Allison creates wealth.

Cheri clearly cares more about Israel and what Israelis think.In the world, the Jewish attitude towards wealth is so clear, and their sense of belonging to the motherland is so strong.But Cheri chose to punish each other with such a country and such a group of people who are eager to return and have great enthusiasm for the motherland. After she unintentionally hurt the feelings of many Israeli Jews, how can she deal with these two aspects? What about mending the huge and deep cracks that have appeared?

What's more, after it took only 20 years to get rid of the problems of small market, lack of resources, and weak economic foundation and rank among the developed countries, Israel's attitude towards the rich is also different-after all, it no longer considers a super The rich can solve the problems of their own country.

"I would rather commit political suicide than offend Israel." Former US President Carter once ridiculed his embarrassment because of his actions against Israel on the Palestine issue.Now will hardline Israel and its media forgive this kid spoiled by wealth

One Law, Two Axioms, and Nine Rules of Jewish Business

The Jewish nation is the most business-oriented nation in the world. They are scattered and persecuted, but they appear as the wealthiest community in the world time and time again.In all ages of history and today, this nation, which is anxiously walking through expulsion orders and burning stakes, seems to be a natural and excellent coin-making machine.The reason why its wealth can continue to flow is due to the ancient business wisdom of the Jews.

A Law of Jewish Business

78:22 rule
In the laws of nature, there is a 78:22 rule.During their long careers in business, the Jews discovered that this natural law has a natural internal connection with some business operations.

First, let us draw a square with a side length of 10 cm, and then draw an inscribed circle, and then calculate their area, you will find that the area of ​​a square with an area of ​​100 cm78, the area of ​​its inscribed circle is 5 square centimeters, and the remaining area is 21 square centimeters.Therefore, 5:78 is an insurmountable rule in the "rules and circles".In the human body, the proportion of water is 22%, and other substances account for 78%.

The Jews regard this rule as the basis and general guiding principle for all business activities.It is precisely because of this fundamental law that Jewish businessmen are always able to do business in both directions and at their fingertips.

Some people may ask how to use the 78:22 rule to gain an advantage in business operations.The 78:22 rule, in the hands of Jewish businessmen, is mainly a guiding principle for grasping the overall situation.

22% of industries such as clothing, catering, construction, jewelry, and medicine basically account for about 78% of living consumption.From this, it is not difficult to understand why the traditional business fields of Jewish merchants are mostly concentrated in catering, clothing, jewelry, construction, medicine, especially in women's and children's products.

Men earn 78% of the world's money and women consume 78% of the world's money.

Two Axioms of Jewish Business
aim at women
The Jews have been in business for 4000 years, and they have summed up two self-evident axioms, the first of which is: aim at women.The Jews have no doubts about this axiom.The Jewish history of more than 5000 years tells people that men work to earn money, and women use the money earned by men to maintain a normal life.The so-called business law is to sweep other people's money.Therefore, regardless of ancient and modern times, no matter where and where, if you want to make money, you must target women and obtain the money they hold.

aim at people's mouths

This is a business that vulgar mortals can do.

According to the Jews, the so-called "mouth" business is a business related to eating.In a nutshell, Jews advocate operating vegetable shops, fish shops, hotels, grocery stores, rice shops, pastry shops, and fruit shops, etc., because doing these businesses will definitely make money.Generally speaking, the Jews advocate opening restaurants, bars, nightclubs, etc.The Jews even believed that there was money to be made in the business of mouth, even poison.

The Nine Rules of Jewish Business
earn instead of save
A businessman takes making money in business as his bounden duty.Based on making money, that is the bounden duty of a businessman.

Since the great diaspora, the Jewish nation has basically maintained the identity of a merchant nation as a unique state of existence in the city where it lived.In spite of their repeated deprivation and empty-handedness, in any society, as long as there is a short period of peace, the Jews can rise rapidly from business activities and from dealing with money.

Based on making money is the unshakable belief of Jewish businessmen.Most Jewish businessmen have the tradition of starting from scratch. So far, many of the famous Jewish rich men in the world have only two or three generations of history.However, they do not have a tradition of getting rich by saving a small amount of money.

upright shrewd

It should be noted that shopping malls are like battlefields, and opportunities are fleeting.When businessmen of other nationalities are still wondering whether they will appear too shrewd or not, and even put that shrewd idea aside, the distance between them and the Jewish merchants is widened, and their defeat by the Jewish merchants is Inevitable.

The Jews absolutely cannot tolerate ambiguity and sloppiness in business.Especially when negotiating the relevant price, they were very careful, and they calculated very clearly every cent of the profit.Because of their fast mental calculations, Jews can often make quick judgments, which makes them calm and press every step of the way in negotiations until they win a big victory, and they are comfortable and calm in the market.

For the Jews, being good at calculation is for pennies and bucks.They believe that profits should never be let go.They can not only calculate every detail, but also quickly calculate the result.Combining the two is the wisdom of the Jews, and it is also one of their knacks for being good at doing business.

get rich in adversity

During their wandering life for more than 1800 years, the Jews have been in adversity.During these long days, they learned to wait patiently, learn to behave in a low-key manner, and learned the wisdom to survive and develop in adversity.Applying this wisdom to business operations has formed the business experience of Jewish businessmen getting rich in adversity.

One chance to win both ends

Rational calculation in business operations is a matter of rational pursuit of efficiency or the ratio of input to output.In the final analysis, it depends on how much output can be obtained from the same input.In Jewish business activities, they not only pursue high output, but also pursue multiple or multiple outputs for one or one input.

Time is like gold
In the eyes of the Jews, time is life, time is life, and time is money.Therefore, in the Jewish business motto, there is a saying "don't steal time".This motto not only reflects the business courtesy of the Jews, that is, not to interfere with other people's time, but also reflects their seizing every minute and every second in business to seize business opportunities and compete for the initiative.

Seize the opportunity with information

The shopping mall is a place where opportunities are equal. Under the same conditions, whoever can get ahead, seize the opportunity, and preemptively strikes first will be able to win.

A covenant is an agreement with God

The Jews are "the people of the contract", and they pay the most attention to the contract in doing business.In the business circles all over the world, Jewish businessmen are well-known for their commitment and commitment.Once the Jews sign the contract, no matter what problems arise, they will never break the contract.

The Jews believe that a contract is an agreement from God.Because Jews generally keep their promises, they often do not even need a contract when doing business with each other, and verbal promises are also binding enough, because "God can hear them."

The Jews kept their contracts almost astonishingly.When doing business, the Jews have always been unyielding and earn every cent, but when it comes to the contract, they must absolutely abide by it even if they suffer a big loss.

The Jews never broke the contract, but they often cleverly modified the contract for their own use without changing the contract.Because in the eyes of the Jews, the key issue in shopping malls is not morality and immorality, but legality and illegality.

deal with reason
In transactions, Jews believe that even if they have not received any guarantees in advance, they have the right to demand that the purchased goods be of good quality.To go shopping means to buy goods that are flawless.Even if the merchant declares in the transaction that "the goods will not be returned or exchanged", once the product is indeed defective, the buyer still has the right to request a return.Also, merchants have to agree to return the product.

In the process of doing business, the Jews pay great attention to the business mantra that "transactions must be reasonable".It can be said that Jewish businessmen are the most reasonable business people in the world.The so-called truth is fair and not deceitful.

The fact that Jews can rise to become the best businessmen among all nations in the world has a lot to do with their business wisdom.

business is business
Business is business. This sentence means that in the business field, you can only abide by business rules. In addition, other ethical and moral norms such as family affection, friendship, respect for the old and love for the young, comity, and helping others in daily life must be respected. Follow business rules.In the business field, everything is a commodity, and a commodity has only one attribute, that is, adding value and generating money.As long as you can make money, you can do anything except breaking the law or violating the contract.It is precisely based on the concept that "business is business", the Jewish ancestors included such an item in their business scriptures: "every time is the first friendship."

When the Jews are in business, they never forget an iron rule: "Besides the Jews, do not trust other people." Not trusting others is one of the successful experiences of the Jews in business, and it is also a wise move for them to guard against the risks of buying and selling.I want to change everything except my wife and children.
