Chaoshan loves wealth and has a way to get it; it is good at hiding wealth and pragmatic and low-key. When the Jin merchants and Hui merchants gradually declined, the traditional merchant gangs continued for more than 500 years of old school seedlings, leaving only the Chaozhou gang.
Chaozhou Gang, later called Chaoshan Gang, Chaozhou is the name of ancient times, Chaoshan specialties are the richest man, Ma Huateng, Li Ka-shing, beef hot pot, Wu tiao people, they are all Chaoshan people.
There are also Huang Guangyu, Liu Luanxiong, Emperor Entertainment, Yang Shoucheng, and Wu Qingliang, founder of Nippon Paint. Even if it is only in Chaoshan locality, there are toy kings such as Cai Dongqing of Aofei Animation, and one of the three children's toys in the world is produced from Chaoshan Province.
Based on Chaoshan and looking at the world. In this issue, we will ask what is the trait, again and again make Teochew Gang great again?
1. The fierce man can also embroider flowers
At the beginning of the video, let's dial the time back to the Yangchun March of 1997, an unknown department store officially opened in Shenzhen's Dongmen Pedestrian Street, and the atmosphere of the bargaining ordinary shopping mall at that time, very different, this department store, directly played out the slogan of "buy one hundred get one hundred free".
To know that the consumers of that year, even the double eleven has not experienced, which can withstand this kind of preferential strength, for a time the mall inside the shoulders, continuous business for 66 hours did not close.
The developer behind the mall, Maoye Real Estate, became a hit, and soon, the price of real estate around this mall rose, and people woke up, the original mall was just a cover to attract popularity, and the ultimate purpose was to sell houses, Huang Maoru, chairman of Maoye Company, the first commercial plus real estate model this only surfaced, Huang Maoru is a proper Chaoshan gang old cannon. Later stories everyone knows, such as China Resources MixC, Ocean Taikoo Li, Wanda Plaza, etc., in fact, belong to the peers in the copy of ChaoshanZai's homework.
2. Attacking Chaoshan overseas Chinese
Open the map of the Chaoshan area, Chaozhou Shantou Jieyang, lined up, located in Guangdong Fujian, the border of the two provinces, the end of the province of the national cape. The Shanwei city on the edge, although the name is Shan, is actually a faction of its own, which is considered to be catalonia in the Chaoshan region.
The heavenly thunder commons Shanghai Lufeng, Shanwei's Hailufeng is the most fierce on the southeast coast, and there have been several DU villages, and it is inconvenient to talk about this topic. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on the other, there are still traces of Wokou on the sea from time to time, like a realistic version of Attack on Titan.
Eight Mountains and Two Seas Wood Arita, the Chaozhou Gang of the first generation, could only turn around and walk towards the sea. During this period, you can also call them One Piece, the family is helpless to live in Siam, and the Chaoshan gang of the first generation has to live a life of begging.
According to data from the China Overseas Chinese Network, one in every five overseas Chinese is a Chaoshan person. As of now, there are less than 1 million overseas Chinese in Wenzhou, but more than 10 million overseas Chinese in Chaoshan Province. Low-key, decent, and mixed well is the general impression of teochew people from other townspeople, and Teochew people are also very popular with local natives.
In addition to doing business and engaging in trade, sometimes you can also export a handful of culture. In foreign countries, foreigners can not have heard of Guangzhou, but should not have heard of Chaozhou, Teochew culture and even invaded Hollywood, such as Robert De Niro's "Deer Hunter", the last Vietnamese underground casino is opened by Teochew people, the dealer speaks a very authentic Teochew dialect, saying "Fluttering Mother", De Niro and Viet Cong prisoners of war play roulette with revolvers.
In some years, the foreign banknotes brought back by the water tourists and the "overseas Chinese batch" accounted for 60% to 70% of the economic income of the people's livelihood, and the overseas Chinese mansions in Chaoshan were known locally as the "Little Forbidden City".
In 1860, the sea ban was lifted and Shantou opened a port, which provided convenience for overseas immigrants, and before the founding of New China, a new situation of "one Chaoshan in the sea and one Chaoshan overseas" was formed.
3. The golden spirit of the Chaoshan gang
In 1967, a bra business, Jay Randy, became the new idol of the Chaoshan Gang. Jay Lauren is the second generation of chao, and his father, Luo Yingzhi, was an entrepreneur who sat on an equal footing with Li Ka-shing at the same time.
In Hong Kong in the 1950s, Jaylen's father was the king of gloves, and Li Ka-shing was the king of plastic flowers at that time. However, the back wave of the Yangtze River pushed the front wave, and Jaylen's father was soon photographed on the beach by the richest man.
JayLorn did not have a son to inherit his father's business, but in response to the Chaoshan gang, ju is a fire scattered is full of stars, choose to start their own business, the big masters made a Western-style women's underwear, commonly known as bras. 50 years ago, a masculine Nanyue boy, commenting on his own bra, did not feel embarrassed at all.
Chaoshan bra, just in time for the economic take-off period of Hong Kong, women's independent consumption awareness awakened, the shroud temporarily withdrew from the historical stage, and the replacement effect of the bra was obvious.
Jay's entrepreneurial project, in today's terms, is to catch up with the wind. The concept of stereoscopic 3D shaping was pioneered by him. At that time, because there was no professional equipment, the two sponge pads sandwiched in the chest were still processed by a bread slicer.
Made money in Hong Kong, the "bust king" did not forget the father and elder of the villagers, turned around and set up the first underwear factory in Chinese mainland, which later became the "Whampoa Military Academy" of the domestic underwear class, and the simple and rough small advertisement of the Putian department, the Chaoshan gang did business, the abacus buckled to the childless, the bold heart will come to things, which will affect the user's mind.
To give another example, Audi Double Diamond, my partner, the four-wheel drive and yo-yo that I dreamed of when I was a child, was made by Cai Dongqing of Aofei Animation. These childhood toys became popular because Cai Dongqing introduced the Japanese animation "Four Wheel Drive Kid" and also cooperated with the Guangdong Taiwan Affairs Office to compete in offline four-wheel drive racing.
Later, because of copyright problems, it was self-developed IP, concocting a series of anime IP familiar to domestic teenagers, such as the firepower boy king, the little magic fairy of Balala, the armor warrior, etc., and then conveniently sold the plastic toys produced by Chenghai to all parts of the country to earn money. After all, there is money to be made, not chilling.
Where there is tide, there are tide merchants; where there is money, there is the Chaozhou Gang, which is the golden spirit that belongs to the Chaoshan Gang.
4. The second hometown of the Chaoshan Gang
"Starvation and not working", is the last stubbornness of the Chao people, in the eyes of the Chaoshan gang, even if you set up a stall, it is also a business, go to a big factory as a p10, that is also to work.
The time came to 1979, an old man drew a circle on the south coast of the South China Sea, which was later the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. If you want to build Pengcheng, real estate comes first. In the face of the heavy asset model of real estate, the Chaoshan Gang is not at all surprised, the four major families Baoneng, Fude, QiaoXin Group, and Zhu Mengyi have the main business of investing in real estate.
According to a report by Yicai, the scale of assets that the Chaoshan Gang can control, in 2016, exceeded one trillion yuan, and for example, if we want to borrow money from the bank, we will provide proof of income, and the heavy will mortgage the garage mortgage.
But the funds between the Chaoshan gang to borrow, a look on, hundreds of millions of dollars on the loan, in the Chaoshan gang to open the vegetable market, try to say a word of glue themselves, the price of the dish is immediately cheaper, relying on the clan blood unity, black and white two uncompromising.
In 1996, Li Ka-shing's eldest son, Lee Ze Ju, was kidnapped by bad guys, and the richest man's first thought was not to call the police, but to go to Hong Kong's local Teochew gang.
The Yidehu people of the Chaoshan Gang, when viewed in the underworld, are the righteous spirit of the rivers and lakes, and when they are placed in the commercial road, it is the spirit of the contract. In the real estate circle at that time, there was a saying that "projects that others dare not touch, Chaoshan Gang dares to touch."
Three animals dare to eat, nail the ball dare to throw, and other crises, but also become the standard operation of the Chaoshan Gang, they have a special recycling of rotten tail building projects, such as Zhaojiaye Company, behind the scenes boss Guo Yingcheng is the Chaoshan Gang's "big celebrity".
In 1998, a bigger crisis occurred, Soros created an Asian financial crisis, Shenzhen people did not dare to buy a house, and the Chaoshan gang resolutely bottomed out. According to the statistics of Chaoshang Network, the current Shenzhen real estate industry, 80% of the projects behind, there are Chaoshan gang figures, according to the data of Huaqiang Electronic Network, Huaqiang North merchants, at most, more than 70% are Chaozhou people.
5. Make money, eat, reproduce
Chaoshan people cultivate fields such as embroidery, know how to engage in fine operations, the same is breeding and drinking tea, here is the fattest lion's head goose in China, the world's most exquisite kung fu tea, even the second generation of Chao's Wang Junyu went to the Beijing Internet circle to start a business, the most famous two things, one is to sell the pea pods founded at the age of 25 for 200 million US dollars to Alibaba, the other is his company's logistics aunt, cooking thieves delicious, some friends joked that it is because the Chaoshan people spend money on eating, Therefore, Chaozhou's GDP will be the bottom of the province.
Before the state developed the two-child policy, some Chaoshan people opened up N tires to themselves in advance. The family is a field of responsibility, fat is also a field, thin is also a field, and the Chaoshan region is also the lowest divorce rate in China.
Teacher Chen Xiaoqing said that Chaoshan is a particularly precious and self-contained treasure island, and the Chaoshan Gang on the island has long had all the characteristics of a sustainable organization. For most people reading this, to be alive is to sail against the current. Finally, I remembered that the merchant has no domain, the Chaoshan gang will always know the direction of the tide, no matter whether the future is popular 5G, MR, artificial intelligence, blockchain, there will always be a Chaoshan people can seize the wind.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
