What do you mean?

It's so simple.

Under the same conditions, in officialdom, your status level, the family behind you, and the power group you rely on are more important than your personal ability.

But in the business world, who you are and what your last name is is not as important as your personal ability.

Here's a very simple example.

Zhuyou.

He is the eldest young master of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family has always been friendly with the Ye family. No matter how bad Zhu You's personal ability is, or Zhu You is not in politics at all, he is too lazy to show his ability. All in all, when Zhu You sat in the position of the first secretary general of the province, his personal ability was zero.

Why haven't such tours been eliminated by the government?

How simple, because his surname is Zhu!

His surname is Zhu, he is the eldest young master of the Zhu family, and the power group behind him is the Ye family. No one dared to eliminate Zhuyou. Only Zhu You resigned if he was unwilling to do it, and did not eliminate him.

Just this can allow Zhuyou to gain a firm foothold in officialdom. In the business world, the situation is probably very different.

Why is it necessary to choose a faction in officialdom? Because there are no factions, there is no power group behind you to support you. It's too hard for you to survive in the big dye vat of officialdom. No matter how capable a person is, when he enters the officialdom, he must find a faction to join. Otherwise, it will be difficult to stand alone!

If you don't have the support of the factional power groups behind you, the position that should belong to you will not even have a chance to pass you by. Because, among the candidates, there is no you. It will just exclude you.

This is officialdom.

The place where origins and factions are most important is valued.

In the business world, it's different.

Why in officialdom, there are few miracles? And in the business world, there are always many, many, such and such miracles? That's why.

In the business world, the most important thing to look at is a person's origin.

It is not difficult to find through the history books that it is difficult to be rich for three generations. But as an official, it has been passed down from generation to generation. There are very few faults.

Why?

It is because in officialdom, background is the most important. has a good background, as long as he is not an idiot, he can live his whole life peacefully by relying on the shade of his family. As long as the current status of the family can be maintained, there will always be a capable person in any generation, and then, with the family to the most glorious again.

In the business world, that's not the case.

The reason why it is said that there are no more than three generations of wealth is because in the business world, your background can help you develop better, develop more rapidly, and help you reach the top in the shortest time and the fastest speed. However, your background will not determine your success 100%.

Because, in the business world, what is more important is the ability of the individual.

Let's take the simplest example.

He Tang family.

From his grandfather to his father, the helmsman of the Tang family is very capable. Therefore, the Tang family has always occupied the hegemony of the leading enterprises in Jiangnan Province and has never wavered. A single cough from the Tang Dynasty Group can make the business community of the entire Jiangnan Province seriously ill and hospitalized.

Such a Tang family, such a Tang Dynasty, can already be called the most noble family in the business community of Jiangnan Province, right?

But what are the facts.

When he Tang Di made a wrong decision and plunged the Tang Dynasty Group into a great crisis, the Tang Dynasty Group has been in a slump ever since. If you look at it according to the law of officialdom origin, without Tang Di's Tang Dynasty group, at least it can maintain its existing glory.

But the business world is not as ...... as officialdom Benevolent.

Tang Di wanted to use the word benevolence to describe the business world.

It is really too benevolent to be able to shelter the officialdom of the family. As long as you have a strong family as your origin, no matter how idiotic you are, you can find a good position and finish this life. But in the business world, it simply doesn't work!

No matter how powerful the family is, the personal ability is a little worse, even worse, just like Tang Di. There is no place for personal ability, but just making a wrong decision almost ruined the entire family.

The business world, which deals with money, has always been much crueler than the political world of the bureaucracy.

In officialdom, there are many people who do not do anything. Such a person, although he has not achieved anything, can live quite comfortably. If you don't do anything, you won't hurt anyone's interests. In politics, as long as you don't hurt the interests of others, raising a few idlers is quite a pleasant thing.

But in the business world, the elimination rate is very high. The slightest step back could be replaced by someone else.

Of course, in officialdom, it is not so easy to survive.

The cruelty of the business world is that there is no room for incompetent people. Only capable people can gain a firm foothold in the business world. Those who are incapable will be quickly eliminated, and then, they will become a poor bastard.

But in officialdom, its cruelty is-

Once you fail, you will not only lose your net worth, but also your own life! And, the lives of loved ones!

This is the cruelty and bloodshed of officialdom.

Why do there always be so many miracles in the business world?

Because in the business world, as long as you have the ability, brains, and means, you will go from a penniless poor boy to a multimillionaire billionaire in just three or five years!

In officialdom, you rarely see what too dazzling achievements people from poor backgrounds can achieve and what too noble positions they can sit in. Very little, very little. Throughout the ages, there are not a few examples. A poor scholar, in officialdom, it is very pitiful.

Unless you can find a powerful factional group as a backer, how easy is it to get ahead? In his lifetime, he cannot be transferred from one class to another.

But in the business world, as long as you have enough ability, enough brains, enough means. You will be able to go from a humble scholar to a new powerful person overnight!

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the word nouveau riche, would there?

When have you ever heard of such a word to describe the ascension of chickens and dogs to heaven overnight in officialdom?

There are no such words. Because in officialdom, nothing like this will happen!

Isn't there a step to the sky in officialdom? Absolutely!

But it's definitely not like the business world, which can be done on your own. It must be done with the help of interest groups.

Therefore, Tang Di has always said that when he enters the business world, he must be prepared to wake up tomorrow and open his eyes, and he will be prepared to change from a rich businessman to a homeless man. And when you enter the officialdom, you must be prepared to hug each other today, and you won't wake up tomorrow.

The cruelty of the former is the crazy elimination rate and competition. And it's ever-changing, unguarded. If you are not careful, you will fall from the clouds into the quagmire. But you, at least there is a chance of a comeback.

The terrible thing about the latter is that once you lose, you will lose completely, and there will be no second chance at all! is standing on the edge of the cliff, once you make a wrong decision, there is only one result, and you will fall to pieces. In many cases, it will also affect family members.

How so?

"Whether it's the officialdom that values more about the origin, or the business world that values the ability of the individual more. It's only relative, and you can't just make a conclusion. Officialdom does not require personal ability, and the business world has nothing to do with family background. No, what I just said, it's all relative. No matter where you are, personal ability and family background are very important. ”

And he believes that family background is a little more useful than personal ability.

As long as the personal ability is not extremely bad, it is much better to have a strong family than to have a strong ability but not have a good background.

Pulling the corners of his mouth, Tang Di waved his hand, "Sorry, it's a bit far." Let's get down to business. ”

"Nope." Gu Lingse shook his head and listened seriously, "I really like to hear you talk about these things." ”

Listening to the words of smart people is a kind of brainstorming enjoyment.

It's a very relaxing and enjoyable thing.

Because the words of smart people, even if they are biased, there are many things that can be learned from them.

"Very few people like to hear me talk nonsense anymore. Since you like to hear it, I should tell you more. But it's not too early. As he spoke, Tang Di raised his wrist and looked at the time, "Let's get down to business as soon as possible." ”

"Good. What should I do? Gu Lingse was sitting precariously, and he almost took a pen and a piece of paper to take notes.

Squinting at the plan that he threw into the trash can with his own hands, Tang Di pulled the corners of his mouth and said slowly: "Do you know why I threw your plan?" "I don't know. Gu Lingse shook his head, "Even if there is a mistake in my plan, it will not reach the point of being completely denied." I still have this confidence. ”

"Your plan is good, it's perfect, it's seamless."

"But ——?" Gu Lingse said with kindness, "I know, there must be but." ”

"Yes, there are buts." Tang Di smiled, "But, as I said just now, the business world is different from officialdom. Be prepared, consider every eventuality, and respond accordingly. You can make sure that you are invincible. That's right, this principle applies to both officialdom and business. ”

"Uh-huh."

Ye Chengshu is like this, the reason why he can be invincible forever is not because he is a god, he has superpowers. It's just because Ye Chengshu thinks more than anyone else, sees farther, and thinks more completely. That's all.

"Officialdom, a person like Chengshu, he can consider every aspect. But even if he is a pivot, in the business world, he can't predict 100%! ”

"Why?" 
"Because the business world is a place that is constantly changing, and there is no pattern to be found! ”

Even if he Ye Tezhu can't do it without leakage, seamlessly!

"It's like the stock market. I can only speculate on its changes based on experience and the facts in front of me, but I can't predict it 100% accurately every time. Even if the prediction is correct, it is only within a certain range. It couldn't be more precise. This is not difficult to understand, right? ”

"Well, it's not difficult."

Unless it is illegal to let traders manipulate the stock market in the shadows. Otherwise, even if it is a stock god, it is impossible to predict accurately every time. Even if the prediction can be accurate, it cannot be more accurate.

The stock market, which is ever-changing and unpredictable, can represent the entire business world.

"So, no matter how good or perfect your plan is, it's useless. Because, plans can never keep up with the fast pace of change. ”

Gu Lingse hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "But Ye Chengshu said, as long as the preparation is sufficient, there is no emergency that cannot be dealt with." I think we've got to make a plan first, right? Then there is an emergency, and then make adjustments, etc. It's best to have a few more plans and plans. It's more secure and safer. ”

After a pause, Tang Di took his hands wrong, and said slowly: "Chengshu's words, I don't want to deny it, and I can't deny it." But if you want to gain a foothold in the business world, don't make any plans. ”
