1. Grasp your own "luck"

In the process of a person's growth, there must be one or two people who will be described in great detail. They bring them It brings new opportunities, changes in the protagonist's thinking, and turns the dilemma... We call such characters "elegant people". As an "accidental factor" that greatly affects the results, is it possible for us to control the "luck of the nobles" ourselves?

Since Wang Nan graduated, he has experienced several jobs, from a rookie to a manager, and encountered many people along the way. Many noble people support me.

When Wang Nan first entered the public relations industry, she didn’t even know what kind of job public relations was. However, her boss “bravely” gave her the offer and took her step by step. Give her guidance on her work. The first time he wrote a press release after joining the company, Wang Nan didn't finish it until he was about to get off work. However, after handing the manuscript to his boss, he realized that what he had written was completely wrong. At that time, it was already off work, but the boss accompanied Wang Nan to revise it, pointing her in front of the computer about the inverted triangle structure of the press release, how to express each sentence of the manuscript, and explaining why she needed to change it that way. Wang Nan said: "If the boss just told me: "The manuscript is not good, rewrite!" I may have to face "No, rewrite" countless times before I can understand what is going on. But after that step-by-step guidance, I have never had the experience of a press release being rejected. There are many similar things, such as how to write emails to customers, how to understand customer needs..."

Later, Wang Nan She also started to take care of new people. She learned to delegate authority and dared to let the new people take on the work. "From another perspective, this is also for my own sake. The newcomer cannot take the lead for a day, so I have to do it myself." Wang Nan said with a smile. Faced with the stupid mistakes made by newcomers, Wang Nan learned to be patient and guide her. She said: "Whenever I want to get angry, I will think of the night 6 years ago when my boss worked overtime with me to correct the manuscript."

Be grateful to the noble people and turn this gratitude into an attitude. When you are able to help others, do something within your ability.

Jia Dayu, now the general manager, has a similar experience. A few years ago, Jia Dayu worked in a public relations company. His boss was a leader who loved talents. At that time, Jia Dayu started quickly from a layman and grew very rapidly. The boss once told him that if one day he has the opportunity to go to a first-class platform for training, then let him go and have a look. Two years later, Jia Dayu received an appointment notice from a well-known international public relations company. The boss fulfilled his original promise and gave him a farewell party to wish him a new career journey. What Jia Dayu didn't expect was that at the end of the year, he actually received a year-end bonus from his original company! His former boss told Jia Dayu: "Although you have left the company, your previous contributions to the company cannot be wiped out." This incident has always kept Jia Dayu in mind. The shock and inspiration to him is not only that after he started his own business and became a boss, he will also give year-end bonuses to employees who have resigned; more importantly, he knows that in the workplace, every person who has ever Your boss and the people who have helped you in the past are all worth keeping in contact with, rather than completely severing the relationship once the working relationship ends.

Now, Jia Dayu still gives gifts to his former leaders every Mid-Autumn Festival. The boss of his first job would be particularly moved every time he talked about Jia Dayu, because Jia Dayu was the only subordinate who would still send blessings on holidays after leaving him for so many years.

Of course, Jia Dayu also became private friends with his former bosses. Now, when Jia Dayu encounters some confusion in work and life, he will also chat with them and listen to their suggestions.

2. Open a restaurant on the crater

Lanzarote is a famous tourist destination in Spain. There are no birds and flowers, only large volcanic lava and caves, black and endless, without There is no sign of life, and when people set foot on this island, it is like stepping into the gate of hell.

Despite this, thousands of tourists come to visit every year. In addition to marveling at the unique landscape of nature, people are also impressed by the whimsical architecture on the island. Here, there is a restaurant called "El Diablo", which is built on the crater of a volcano and uses the heat generated by the volcano to grill food. It is known as "the most dangerous restaurant in the world." People rushed into this restaurant, eager to experience the feeling of "dancing with death".

In fact, more than 200 years ago, Lanzarote was still a pleasant scenic spot. With its unique natural conditions, the tourism and catering industries were unprecedentedly prosperous. Unfortunately, in 1730, more than 100 volcanic craters on the island erupted one after another, which lasted for six years. The volcanic ash was flying, covering all the green trees and red flowers on the island, and the high temperature killed all life. Since then, Lanzarote has become an island of death that no one cares about.

In 1970, a chef named Cesar Manrique had a sudden idea to build a restaurant specializing in barbecue on the crater of Lanzarote. People thought he was crazy. Although the volcano no longer erupts, the temperature below a few meters above the ground is still as high as 400°C to 600°C. Anyone who dares to dig a foundation to build a house there will definitely become "roasted".

Amid opposition and ridicule, Manric spent three years building this unique restaurant in the world in the crater.

The restaurant did not dig a foundation but was built on the rock formation. The appearance also abandoned the traditional square structure and adopted a circular shape with no walls around it and was replaced entirely by glass. In this way, customers can enjoy a 360-degree view of the island scenery while sitting in the restaurant, and witness the spectacular setting sun shining in the west.

Barbecue is the signature of the restaurant. A large barbecue grill is set up in the crater. The chef only needs to put the prepared whole chicken, sausages and other foods on it, and the heat generated by the volcano will quickly turn the food into delicious food. It's brown and soft, and the rich fragrance wafts throughout the volcano.

The fact that the restaurant is built on a volcano is already enough to attract people’s attention, but using the heat emitted by the volcano for barbecue is unheard of. But now, the restaurant’s opening on another day has whetted people’s appetites. Soon, this strange restaurant became famous far and wide. Tourists from all over the world came in droves, and even explorers worshiped it. For a while, the restaurant was overcrowded, and its business was better than any five-star hotel.

Seeing the success of the "El Diablo" restaurant, the Spanish government was inspired and decided to develop Lanzarote. They invited internationally renowned architects to build restaurants all over the island. Seven tourist attractions, promoted at the same time, transformed Lanzarote, which had been dormant for hundreds of years, into a tourist attraction dominated by volcanic landscapes.

3. A unique trick to jump from 2,000 yuan to 800,000

More than ten years ago, a young man named Ke Qiuping from Pengze County, Jiangxi Province ran alone to Tianfu Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou Break out. In this national auto parts distribution center, Ke Qiuping found a job as a truck driver, specializing in helping a company that sells car films to pull goods. Two years later, the young man saved 2,000 yuan.

At this time, Ke Qiuping made an unexpected decision: to quit his stable job and start a business with 2,000 yuan. The content of the business was to wrap cars. At this time, car wrapping was mostly a side job of 4S shops. Although some individuals were doing it, they made hard-earned money, and their annual income was only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. In addition, customer resources and start-up capital are also two big issues. Friends around him felt that Ke Qiuping was too rash, but Ke Qiuping said that 2,000 yuan was enough as a start-up capital. As for the customer base, he could "grab" the 4S store's business.

What Ke Qiuping did next was even more surprising.

He went around looking for 4S stores, and then proposed such an amazing cooperation condition to the store owner: as long as the 4S store introduced a customer, he could get a reward of 600 yuan. As for the supply and construction of the products, Ke Qiuping was responsible for all. After hearing such an invitation to cooperate, every 4S store owner opened his mouth and expressed surprise, because at this time, the price they posted for a car was only more than 400 yuan. He was able to earn more than before without exerting any effort. More than a dozen 4S stores quickly signed cooperation agreements with Ke Qiuping. After signing the agreement, these shop owners couldn't figure it out. This looked like a loss-making business. How on earth did Ke Qiuping make money?

In fact, from Ke Qiuping's point of view, his thoughts were different from ordinary people's. And the practice is not just wishful thinking. It turns out that not long ago, this ingenious young man discovered a business opportunity. During the process of pulling the film, he learned that a UV-resistant insulation film had just come on the market and the quality was very good. This kind of car film looks similar to ordinary car film, but it can effectively prevent ultraviolet rays and greatly reduce the temperature inside the car.

However, Ke Qiuping only had 2,000 yuan on hand and could not afford to open a film shop. So, he suddenly thought of it and offered a high price to attract 4S stores to introduce customers to him. Afterwards, Ke Qiuping priced the new film at 1,600 yuan per car. It only costs 300 or 400 yuan to paste a car in a 4S shop, so how to sell the expensive film? Ke Qiuping put good steel to good use. He used only 2,000 yuan to build a test display stand, that is, glass Temperature comparison of the two areas with film and without film under light. This comparison makes it clear to customers: under the same temperature of light, the temperature of the area without film on the glass is as high as 50 degrees Celsius, while the temperature of the area with anti-UV film has just reached 30 degrees Celsius. Ke Qiuping fully opened the display stand to allow customers to personally experience the advantages of this kind of film.

In this way, Ke Qiuping got many orders. Once he had an order, he put on the film with all his strength. He had no money to hire workers, so he had to cut and apply the film himself. By the end of the year, Ke Qiuping had cooperated with more than 60 automobile 4S stores and beauty shops, and had also established his own film team. This year, 21-year-old Ke Qiuping earned the first pot of gold in his life - 800,000 yuan. After that, this smart and hard-working young man became prosperous in the car film industry and created huge fortunes one after another.

Many people say that starting a business is difficult. The most difficult thing is not having start-up capital. Ke Qiuping's success tells us that it is not impossible to achieve a wealth jump from 2,000 yuan to 800,000 yuan as long as we discover business opportunities and come up with a unique trick.
