Chapter 207: Knocked Out

Giving up on Zhou Yun Na was not Wei Yun's sudden thought. This thought had appeared many times before, but it was not as strong as it is now.

In this circle, he knows what the emergence of this circle means. That is because there are huge connections in it. What is a circle? In fact, it is not just connections. If he wants to succeed in the future, he will leave

Without opening up these current connections, he cannot offend too many people.

Just like he had no way to offend Li Wei at the beginning, he has no way to offend Wu Ling now, because it can be seen that Wu Ling has almost the same status as Li Wei, and he will definitely offend such a person.

Not worth it.

Because in the future, if you want to succeed, you must know information, and if you want to obtain this information, you must rely on people in this circle, especially those in high positions.

Just like a story he once knew, Hammer's father owned a pharmaceutical company, the United Chemical Pharmaceutical Company, but the pharmaceutical company was heavily in debt. Therefore, Hammer relied on personal efforts and financial assistance from friends to complete his studies.

, eventually, he earned his M.D. degree.

Hammer did not directly enter the pharmaceutical factory, he had no business experience. He began to travel around the world to do different businesses, such as selling medicine, selling wheat, selling jewelry, selling wine barrels, selling cattle, selling oil... he was almost excited

Wherever he goes, he will do it. What is amazing is that he will succeed in whatever he does, just like God's help. In this regard, Hammer said: It is not God who helps him, but people.

Hammer has many friends with different professions, different abilities, and even different races. They provide him with information from all directions, allowing him to always have a good grasp of the pulse of wealth. Hammer gradually mastered a law of getting rich, which is

Listen to all directions.

Later, when Franklin Roosevelt gradually approached the White House, although Hammer's eyes were fixed on selling his art, his ears were listening to the situation in all directions. He received many messages from friends.

After brain analysis and sorting, he found a clear signal

, that is, once the "New Deal" takes hold, Prohibition laws will be repealed, and the national demand for beer and whiskey will expand rapidly. Correspondingly, the demand for wine barrels will also expand rapidly, but there was no such thing in the market at that time.

Wine barrels, because for a market under Prohibition, there was no need for wine barrels.

Of course, many people have also seen business opportunities, because everyone is clamoring for wine barrels. Of course, the most popular ones are wine barrels made of treated white oak. Not many people can seize the business opportunity, because they can find this kind of wooden board.

It was not easy, but Hammer had the resources in this area. Hammer had lived in Russia for many years, and he knew exactly what the Soviets had for export. Yes, that kind of wood was among the exports.

Hammer did not hesitate and immediately ordered several ships

Barrel staves. But there were some small mistakes at this stage. When the freighter arrived, Hammer found that the other party did not execute the order contract. What they shipped was not the formed barrel staves, but pieces of seasoned white oak wood. Hammer

He was anxious, but it was not his strategy to quarrel with the other party. He did not have a factory and had to find a place for processing immediately. He immediately activated his contacts and set up a temporary barrel stave at the berth where the Soviet freighter docked at the New York pier.

Processing plant.

Hammer foresaw that the market for wine barrels would be huge in the future, so he worked non-stop and built a modern barrel factory in Millgo, New Jersey. When the wine barrels rolled out of the production line, the prohibition law was also abolished.

However, the result of the two collisions was that Hammer's barrels were snapped up by the largest whiskey and beer manufacturers at high prices.

Hammer has become a most popular supplier of wine barrels. While he is enjoying the influx of funds, he is watching from the other side and watching the winemakers compete to the death. Of course, he does not intend to intervene, based on the information he has obtained so far.

See, he couldn't detect the depth at all, but good luck almost couldn't help him.

As Hamer and his bride, Angela, prepare to leave for their first month in Mexico, Fred Kimball, his best man, provides him with an inside scoop on the stock market. World War II has already begun.

The epidemic broke out, food was in short supply, and the government issued a decree prohibiting distilleries from using grains to make wine. Whiskey became in short supply for a while. Kimball encouraged Hammer and said: "Hurry up and buy some American whiskey."

I can guarantee that there is no risk in this transaction, and there is a rule that if anyone buys a share of their stock, they will be prepared to give him a barrel of strong whiskey as a dividend." Hammer was almost convinced.

A teetotaling teetotaler who had never bought a stock, he believed Kimball's words and bought 5,500 shares at $90 each.

Two months later, the American Distillery Company's stock rose to $150 per share. He did not sell the 5,500 shares in his hand because he followed the advice of his friends and thought he could still make a fortune from the whiskey business. Ha.

Hammer converted these 50-gallon barrels of whiskey into bottles and stored them all in the original factory. Then, he applied for a liquor making license and opened an office. This alone made Hammer greatly

Made a fortune.

Good luck never seems to be far away from Hammer. Unintentionally, Hammer learned from a chemical engineer friend that adding 80% cheap alcohol to pure whiskey can make the whiskey five times its original size. And in

At that time, most people who drank alcohol regarded whiskey mixed with alcohol as a rare good thing.

However, it was not easy to obtain alcohol. The newly established War Production Bureau at that time had very strict regulations on the production of alcohol. Ordinary factories could not produce alcohol in large quantities. This was not a problem for Hammer. Soon, he used various channels to

Two senators were found, and soon the two senators arranged for Hamer to meet with the director of the Bureau of War Production, who issued him a letter of approval.

What's more exciting is that when the stock market collapsed in 2019, Hammer became one of the few wealthy Americans who was not affected at all because he had whiskey in his hands. In addition, Hammer has extraordinary

With his excellent diplomatic ability, the world's major politicians Lenin, Roosevelt, Deng Xiaoping, Khrushchev, Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan and other leaders were his friends, and they all received more or less help from Hamer.

, and also intentionally or unintentionally provided a lot of information for Hammer to get rich.

During the most difficult period of the Soviet Union, Hammer was the first to lend a helping hand. He proposed to Lenin: Use 1 million US dollars in funds to urgently purchase wheat in the United States, ship it to Petrograd by sea, unload the grain, and then transfer the value to

One million U.S. dollars of furs and other goods were shipped back to the United States. In order to allow the young Soviets to recuperate, Lenin paid special attention to Hamer's proposal. From then on, a sincere and deep relationship was formed between them.

Friendship. Lenin encouraged Hamer to invest in a factory and allowed him to mine asbestos mines in Siberia, making him the first foreigner to obtain mining rights in the Soviet Union. The barter trade between the United States and the Soviet Union began. In Hamer's first

When he met with the chief designer for the first time, the chief designer interrupted the introduction of the staff and said: "There is no one in China who does not know the Americans who helped Lenin." The charm of Hammer can be seen from this.

Many times, people always blame their fate, blame themselves for not being born into a rich family, blame themselves for not receiving a good education, and worry that they do not have superb skills. However, these people ignore a tool that is fair to everyone, that is,

It’s all about connections and information. Hammer’s success is not only the success of grasping information, but also the success of connections.

To do business, we may not have funds or technology, but we live in a social crowd and are surrounded by a large amount of human resources. Human resources can bring all kinds of wealth-making information, just like a free orchard, waiting at any time

Follow your picking. The key is whether you can see it and whether you can take the initiative to enter this orchard.

The economic era provides everyone with a perfect space for development. Tangible and intangible opportunities are equally open to you, me and him. No matter you are noble or poor, whether you are beautiful or ugly, opportunities will not be special to you.

It is generous and will not be particularly stingy towards you. It always follows its own logic. At the same time, it also follows its usual thinking.

The road gives hints to the world. Therefore, being able to see the six directions and listen to all directions is naturally necessary to achieve success. And by building an extensive network of contacts, you can be able to see six directions and listen to all directions. Every undertaking requires a group of people.

Therefore, among the three factors of productivity, assets, technology and human resources, human resources are extremely important.

Henry Ford, the famous American industrialist, said: "Getting together is the beginning; unity is progress; cooperation is success." Career is a joint success. This is no longer an era of creating heroes alone.

A circle is needed. Everyone needs help from others. The more closely divided the industry is, the more cooperation with others is needed.

San Mano, the founder of the famous American department store San Mano Pierre Company, believes in only two words for career success - cooperation.

When Mano decided to start a business, he felt that his own strength was too weak and he might not be able to consider many aspects comprehensively, so he decided to find a partner. He first made a business plan, and then started running around, working with

People communicate and negotiate. But the beginning is not ideal, people

Neither of them understood his business plan until he met Pierre. In fact, Pierre and San Mano had the same goal. The two hit it off and hugged each other warmly across the table. In this way, the two of them started to work together.

"San Mano Pierre Company", a large-scale enterprise in the world with the surname of "San Mano Pierre Company", was born.

This cooperation was very successful. "San Mano Pierre Company" has a lot of financial resources and its popularity is getting higher and higher day by day. In the second year of the cooperation, the company's turnover grew faster, but at the same time, a drawback appeared.

That's San Mano and Pierre

Already feeling overwhelmed, San Mano decided to follow his old ideas and find someone who could help them run their business. At this time, Pierre also made the same suggestion to him, and the two hit it off and started working immediately.

Searching for people.

Once, San Mano and Pierre saw a crowded cloth shop on the street. Their curiosity drove them to squeeze in and take a closer look. They found a large piece of paper stuck on the door of the cloth shop, which read:

The clothing materials have been sold out, and new goods will be coming in tomorrow. The crowds of people are here to order tomorrow's new goods.

The clerk explained: There are not many raw materials for this kind of French clothing, so there is a shortage of fabrics. Saint-Mano looked carefully and he knew that there was really not much of this kind of fabric, but it was not because of the lack of raw materials, but because

The sales were not good and they could no longer import. However, the cloth shop owner took advantage of the shortage to whet the appetite of fashionable women, making the unsalable fabrics become popular. This method is very clever.

, couldn't help but make San Mano and Pierre respect each other. They almost immediately decided to ask the cloth shop owner to be their manager. The cloth shop owner's name was Davis. When he learned that San Mano and Pierre were going to hire

When he was the manager of the "San Mano Pierre" company, he immediately agreed to this request, because just like San Mano and Pierre admired him, he also admired the owners of the company that had achieved brilliant results.

With Davis joining the company, San Mano Pierre's reputation has flourished. In ten years, its turnover has increased more than 600 times, and it already has 300,000 employees and annual sales of nearly 7 billion US dollars.

.

After all, a person's energy is limited. "A drop of water cannot make an ocean, and a single tree cannot make a forest." Only by relying on cooperation can we create miracles and achieve the magnificent situation of "people plant trees to form a forest, and people plant flowers to fill the garden."

The whole world is like a big chemical laboratory. Different substances meet in different environments and then generate other new substances. We need to know the original name of our own substance and what kind of new substance we need to become.

Know what kind of substances need to be chemically reacted with, know what kind of environment this chemical reaction requires, and finally have one or two catalysts.

For anyone who wants to achieve a career, or even just wants to achieve something in his career, he needs to start by building a wide network of people. Doing a career without a network of people is equivalent to "a clever woman can't make a meal without straw".

Throughout the ages, those who have achieved great things have always had a group of people following them and the support of their colleagues. The ancient emperors are the best example. Those who have supporters can be "yellow-robed" even if they don't have a penny, and their political careers will go smoothly.

If you sit on the throne, you can sit back and relax; if you have no supporters, even if you were once the emperor and the supreme king, once you are pulled off the horse, you will be like a phoenix in decline as a chicken.

These are things Wei Yun's father once taught him. Although he didn't care about these things in the past, he also remembered these words in his heart and has been implementing them. So now he knows that Wu Ling is unknown

After assuming that identity, he will naturally choose to give up. (To be continued.)
