Yuan said Du Yuesheng chapter 7
In 1902, 15-year-old Du Yuesheng decided to go to see the world of flowers and flowers in Shanghai, and her grandmother knew that although Shanghai was full of flowers, it was not easy to survive.
So he put down his old face and went to ask his fellow villagers for a letter of recommendation, arranging for Du Yuesheng to go to a fruit shop in Shanghai as an apprentice. At that time, China was a typical human society, deciding whether you can do something, ability is often not the most important, whether you have a relationship behind your back, whether there is someone above your head to pull you, it is particularly important.
Therefore, Du Yuesheng's grandmother, the letter of recommendation that she asked for, in that era, meant a job, a chance for Du Yuesheng to eat in Shanghai and survive.
Grandma did not trust her grandson because she loved her grandson, and she did her best to do what she should do. All this, Du Yuesheng saw in his eyes, pain in his heart. When his grandmother sent him to the BaziQiao, Du Yuesheng and his grandmother, the old and the young, all cried loudly.
It's full of reluctance.
"I want to start a family business and open an ancestral hall, otherwise, I swear never to set foot on this land."
This is Du Yuesheng's last words when he left his grandmother and left his hometown, and Du Yuesheng wrote his "spirit".
However, where success is so easy, success is often an accidental event, you are lucky to succeed, failure is normal, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign lucky people, often rare.
Arriving at the recommended fruit shop, the boss looked at the introduction of acquaintances, determined that Du Yuesheng was a person who could be used, so he gave the position of "apprentice", but the boss, it seems that he is not very bold, and even has a silky door.
During du yuesheng's apprenticeship, he was not given any salary, and some just looked at the basis of your work, gave one or two pieces of shaved head washing money, afraid of dirty fruit, and delivered three meals, to ensure that in the fruit shop, you will not starve to death.
"Bullying" in any group is a high probability of occurrence, is the elderly in front of the new people, show the superiority of the horse, many places, this behavior as a distorted image "pay tuition".
Du Yuesheng, as a small person who first came to Shanghai, was not unexpectedly bullied by the old man, and for several months in the store, he was serving the old man, there was no chance at all, he came into contact with the boss's business how to do it, and no one taught him to do it, just what chores, dirty work, tell him to do it.
In the face of the old man so "bullying" people, Du Yuesheng did not like us today, at every turn angry, or all kinds of complaints, he chose, with action, to prove himself.
In order to win the attention of the boss, Du Yuesheng is very diligent in doing things, not only handling the things in the shop for a reason, but also the housework of the boss lady, he can definitely help. For a long time, such as brushing the toilet and pouring the night pot, du Yuesheng was a "masterpiece" to please the boss lady.
What is even more touching is that Du Yuesheng was the last person to sleep among all the members of the store at that time, and he took advantage of the night to repeatedly review what he did not understand, or did not do well, and strived to avoid it next time.
After the guidance of the boss lady and the observation of the boss, Du Yuesheng began to break away from the identity of the apprentice, no longer doing meaningless chores, and formally came into contact with the business. Became an errand in the store, began to deliver to customers, went to the dock to buy goods, and touched the survival core of the fruit shop.
Du Yuesheng used his diligence in exchange for his own further progress, and where the diligence is, it is one of the shortcuts to success.
