A new store opened on the street where I go to eat every day, mainly selling various large and small sixty-year-olds, which is very novel. I looked at the big billboard at the door explaining how delicious, high-protein, low-fat, and beneficial to the human body, I couldn't help but walk into the store. Rice noodles, fish balls, and beef balls can be added to the sixtieth season. It is run by a couple, and the store is about 15 square meters. The tables and chairs are small and exquisite to save space. From the accent of the hostess who greeted me, I guessed that they were either from Fujian or Wenzhou.

There were not many customers that night. The hostess was about 30 years old. She skillfully scooped up the sixty-year-olds and put them in tin foil. She asked me if I had ever stayed on the coast. I answered truthfully, in both Fujian and Wenzhou. Stayed. She said she was from Ouhai, Wenzhou, and when she saw him putting the sixtieth birthday cakes on the induction cooker with tinfoil, she thought this method looked quite fresh. Maybe it was because I had not paid attention to this type of store before.

Asked how their business was, she said that it had only been open for a few days, the rent was more than 5,000 per month, and the transfer fee cost 100,000. I was so shocked that I opened my mouth wide and slapped the earth. This type of store is more specialized and the competition should be smaller. I said that Wenzhou people are smart and are known as the "Jews of China". It is said that in some African countries, Wenzhou is much more famous than Beijing. When the male shop owner heard this, he also joined our chat. He looked dark, thin and smart. He said that what Wenzhou people are least afraid of is hardship. There has long been an ancient saying that "I would rather sleep on the floor than be the boss." They are not willing to work for others, even if it means setting up a street stall or opening a small shop. No matter how hard they endure, no matter how many sins they suffer, no matter what the wind or rain, they are willing to work for themselves. They would rather make chicken heads than make chicken heads. They are willing to be a phoenix tail, which comes from the entrepreneurial factor in their bones.

I have spent three years in Wenzhou (Chashan Town and Lucheng District), where there are many clothing factories, shoe factories, and lighter factories. There are also razors, hairpins, ballpoint pen factories, etc. There are also many well-known clothing brands such as Metersbonwe and Semir. China's four famous leather shoes, Aokang and Kangnai, were all born and raised in Wenzhou and went global. They are also the pride of the Chinese people. In 2007, I worked as an assembly worker (responsible for putting on cuffs) in a women's clothing factory near Chashan University Town. The women's clothing brand "Xuege" had its own stores in more than 100 countries around the world at that time, and the boss was only about 30 years old. petite beautiful woman.

I heard that she learned to make clothing and design at the age of 17, and later registered her own trademark, and continued to promote and improve it to build her own brand. When she got married, she didn't even need the factory machinery. She left it to her younger brother, taking only the word "trademark" with her. However, she was still able to develop rapidly within a few years. Her clothes are advertised at many central intersections in Wenzhou. She herself has become a legend, with multiple radio and media reports.

There are many, many successful entrepreneurs with very low starting points like this in Wenzhou. In 2008, there was a "Big Tiger" lighter opposite my breakfast shop, with nearly a thousand employees. Their products were exported to all over the world. The most amazing thing is that their lighters can still make fire in the hypoxic areas of the Mexican plateau, while other lighters cannot. implementation so they can survive the financial crisis unscathed.

The entrepreneurial culture of their previous generation was not high. With the coastal geographical advantages, strong entrepreneurial atmosphere, and the spirit of hard work and study, the vast majority of Wenzhou people have achieved good results and contributed to the country. Economic development has played an immeasurable role in driving employment. At that time, when we Anhui fellows gathered together, we often said that most of the middle and senior managers in various enterprises in Wenzhou were Anhui people. At that time, my cousin and other relatives were indeed small managers in the factory. But some old people said that the conditions of Wenzhou people in the 1950s and 1960s were not as good as those in Anhui! The saline-alkali land has no output. At that time, they carried big bags and went to Anhui to make quilts, mend pots and other small business. After the reform and opening up, Wenzhou developed rapidly and we all went to work there to make a living. This is called 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi!

Eating delicious and delicious rice cakes reminds me of the past. Today, when the real economy is deteriorating, I wonder how the Wenzhou companies mentioned above are doing now. But it is undeniable that they have created miracles and myths and made immeasurable contributions to the country's GDP. Whether they are Wenzhou people setting up stalls or running businesses, their spirit of hard work and hard work is worth learning from and paying tribute to them!
