In fact, people who have struggled in society should understand that sometimes choice is more important than hard work, because it will make you twice the result with half the effort. In real life, hard work is indeed necessary, but what is more important than hard work is connections, that is, people you know.
If you know more people, you are likely to meet noble people to help you. You must understand this. It is better to help noble people than to work hard for many years.
1. Socialize upwards, make connections that are useful to you
The so-called upwards socialize mainly refers to making friends with those big people with higher identities and status than you, and let these big people become their nobles. If you want to make friends with big people, of course you have to give them respect and show your kindness consciously, but you cannot become deliberately please and not make yourself too humble, but you must be neither humble nor arrogant. In this way, you can get more likely to enter the eyes of big people.
Of course, it is not easy for you to meet such people. First of all, you have to improve your value. Only with this qualification and qualification can you get close to these successful people, otherwise it will be difficult for you to integrate into it and become real friends with them. Not to mention the exchange of interests.
2. Put down your sternness, be thick-skinned, and make friends with noble people in the mall
Li Ka-shing said: "When you put down your sternness and make money, it means you are already sensible; when you make face with money, it means you have succeeded; when you can make money with face, it means you are already a person..."
Whether a person has face is not blown up by himself, but given by others. If you don’t have the strength, others will not give you face; if you are poor and care about face, you will be even poorer.
"Shaped" is the key to achieving great things. Of course, "shamelessness" does not mean being shameless, nor does it mean instigating you to do things that violate the law and discipline, but telling you to lock in your life goals and not to "suffer if you want to be faced."
For example, when you attend some industry gatherings or social engagements, as long as you find that there are excellent people who are valuable to you and worthy of your learning, you must muster up the courage to actively communicate with the other party, chat with the other party, and find ways to get the other party's contact information. Even if there are not many communications this time, it is better to communicate once and again, and meet again next time, isn't it?
3. Good at leveraging power, borrowing the power of others, and making money for yourself
As the saying goes: Connections are money, and relationships are productivity.
Personal relationship is money, and relationship is strength. A person's strength depends on the relationships around him.
Here, I will tell you a small example that happened to me: My friend Xiao Wang, an ordinary employee of the subsidiary of Moutai Group, started his job, because of his limited resources, his performance was very bad.
Later, he attended an event with his leader. Once he was a driver and sent a deputy director home. From then on, he had an interaction with this leader and often gave wine to his leader and helped him do some small things.
Over time, the leader would bring him and introduce him to customers at his dinner. Xiao Wang met many bosses of companies through this leader. These bosses need to establish good relationships with the director, and the products he recommended will definitely be used, so that Xiao Wang's performance will be greatly improved.
From this we can see that in China's human relationship society, having extensive connections is a very important resource, and it is also a catalyst for career success.
As the saying goes: One fence has three stakes, one hero has three helpers, one must learn to use connections and other people's advantages to pave the way for yourself. If you have multiple friends and multiple roads, your chances of making money will also increase greatly.
4. Put in love, not just interests
Some people say, "Businessmen value profit rather than separation." This sentence is indeed very reasonable. Businessmen's interpersonal relationships focus on interests, which is not something to deny. However, smart businessmen will invest their feelings in order to handle interest relations well. Even if this investment is a utilitarian purpose, as long as they invest in feelings, they will have a good effect.
The book "Mall Relationship" gives an example to say that some bosses are very humane in management and can have more emotional care and communication when dealing with employee relationships. Then, even if employees know that the boss does this to enable them to work better, it will be very useful. On the contrary, if a businessman only has the interests when dealing with an interest relationship, then even if he looks smart, he is still fake smart.
5. Long-term vision, good at managing connections, "fishing big fish with long lines"
The first article mentioned above is that smart businessmen are socializing upward, but this does not mean that they will ignore those potential figures. If a person is temporarily unrestrained but has great development potential, then they can be backward compatible and intimate.
To achieve this, when managing personal connections, in addition to accurately identifying people, you must also have the patience of "fishing big fish with a long line". It can be utilitarian, but not too utilitarian.
