Chapter 25 Wolf Principle (4)
Just as Zeng Changbiao expected, soon after, North Korea began to accelerate the adjustment of its economic policy. After Kim Jong-il's visit to China, he made it clear that he wanted to learn from China and strengthen the country. North Korea's opening up was a foregone conclusion.Kim Jong Il made it clear during his visit to China that Chinese companies are welcome to go to North Korea.Chinese leaders also made it clear that the Chinese government supports North Korea's economic adjustment policy and encourages Chinese companies to develop in North Korea.Zeng Changbiao seized this favorable opportunity and immediately started negotiations with North Korea.

Zeng Changbiao did not expect that the negotiation would go so smoothly, much beyond his expectations.Zeng Changbiao contracted the largest department store in North Korea - Pyongyang No. 3 Department Store.The shopping mall is located in a prime location in the center of Pyongyang, with a total business area of ​​6 square meters.Zhongxu Group invested 5000 million yuan to renovate and decorate the entire building, making it the largest and best department store in North Korea.Products from Wenzhou and even China can continuously enter the North Korean market through this bridgehead.

On the Pyongyang No. 5 Department Store project contracted by Zeng Changbiao, the North Korean government stipulated that only two types of tax would be levied: a 5% import duty and a [-]% income tax.Zeng Changbiao said that this is the lowest tax in North Korea's history.In addition, Zhongxu Group is allowed to use the certificate of currency holding to take RMB out of the country at will. In addition, the certificate of currency holding can also be used to buy copper ore, silk and other commodities that are in short supply in North Korea.

Zeng Changbiao is not just trying to build the No. 20 Department Store in Pyongyang.In addition to No. 80 Department Store, Zeng Changbiao also signed a cooperation agreement with Pyongyang No. [-] Department Store, Pyongyang Department Store, Pyongyang Underground Department Store, and Pyongyang Station Front Department Store. He also considered investing in the construction of an international trade center in Pyongyang.Zeng Changbiao believes that the current situation in North Korea is like China in the [-]s and [-]s in the [-]th century. Entering the North Korean market at this time is the best time to seize the opportunity. If you miss it, the opportunity will not exist.

At present, there are hundreds of businessmen following Zeng Changbiao to do business in Pyongyang No. [-] Department Store. Most of them are from Wenzhou, and many of them are shopkeepers of Hualong Commercial Plaza.Zeng Changbiao plans to hold a monthly trade fair in Pyongyang's First Department Store, through which Chinese goods will be wholesaled to retailers across North Korea.Zeng Changbiao intends to build Pyongyang No. [-] Department Store into a large trade base for China's exports to North Korea, so as to strengthen the circulation of goods between the two countries.

A young Wenzhou businessman occupied a department store in a country. All the success stemmed from the initial curiosity and attention. This curiosity not only brought him opportunities and challenges, but also a lot of wealth and Success in business.

Success, thanks to curiosity.

Professor Shi Chunfeng, the former president of the National University of Singapore and an expert in fracture mechanics, said that his path to success = curiosity + hard work. When Shi Chunfeng's parents named their first son 68 years ago, they expected the son to bring new breath like a spring breeze.

Sixty-eight years later, Shi Chunfeng shouldered the important task of cultivating people for a century, and prepared to open up a new vision for a university.

Looking at the academic achievements one after another in Professor Shi's resume, it is hard to imagine that the scientist was not a very active student in his youth, and his parents sometimes received notices from teachers about him submitting homework late.Recalling his childhood life 40 years ago, Professor Shi said with a smile that his childhood was full of fun.

Living on Orchard Road, he was a bit playful at the time, and he was not very active in studying.He said: Orchard Road back then was completely different from what it is today.At that time, Orchard Road was full of fruit trees, and I often picked fruit from the trees to eat.

It can be seen from the school magazine of Peide Middle School in 1962 that although Professor Shi's Cambridge school examination results were not among the best, they were also very good, and he obtained a second-class diploma in the examination.He said he never thought about going to university until the day he stepped foot in Singapore Polytechnic (now Polytechnic).Claiming to be from a well-to-do family, he just wants to find a job after graduation and take up the responsibility of keeping the family.However, a report on American space research changed his life.

The infinite mystery of space inspired his rich imagination and curiosity about space.He said: I told myself: I am going to America.Under the action of this impetus, he began to work hard.After obtaining his Diploma in Civil Engineering from the Singapore Polytechnic, he received a research scholarship and went to Harvard University in the United States to study for a Master of Applied Science and a PhD in 1973.Then, he finally got his wish and participated in the research work of NASA.In this way, he left his hometown for 30 years, just for the original curiosity about space, just to understand the situation of the universe that made him curious.

From the youthful years of picking fruits to the great responsibility of cultivating people for a hundred years, Professor Shi has always believed that the key to education is to nurture everyone's innate curiosity.Looking back on the road he has traveled in the past, he said:

I think my characteristic is that I am very curious.Although I am playful, I am always curious about the things around me.

I never had much interest in textbooks, nor did I like reading for exams.In college, I opened the newspaper after class.I think at the time I knew what was going on in America better than my professors did.My point is that some people lack motivation and some people are late.However, as long as there is no lack of curiosity, students who perform mediocre in school may become very capable in the future, and may also achieve success in life and career, because success in life is inseparable from curiosity.

From this, it is not difficult for us to understand why Professor Shi can achieve such success.Because curiosity becomes a driving force for success, it pushes you to move forward and learn continuously, and success is getting closer and closer to you.

After Robert B. Laughlin's fractional quantum Hall effect was discovered experimentally, he constructed the analytical wave function of the fractional quantum Hall system, which completely explained the physical characteristics of the effect.

Gerardus Hooft (19erardus Hooft) proved the renormalization of the gauge field (Yang-Mills field) theory, and proposed many theoretical methods that have been widely used, such as dimension normalization and large N expansion, and found that It shows that there are non-trivial states such as magnetic monopoles and instantons in the gauge field theory.

For ordinary people, the names of these people and the jerky academic terms behind them may be unfamiliar, but they are all related to a great award-the Nobel Prize in Physics.For ordinary people, the success path of Nobel Prize winners may not be copied, but their life experience and growth experience are a valuable asset, which is worth learning and learning from.On the road to success, many people and things have influenced them. As a successful scientist, what factors have deeply influenced them?Both masters emphasized the importance of curiosity to success.

Robert Laughlin said that everyone is full of curiosity about the outside world when they are children, but it is not so great in adulthood, which is a pity.A person can succeed only if he has curiosity and hard work the day after tomorrow.You must remember that you have to obey the call of your inner world. Although the talent is given by your parents, the acquired persistence is up to you to decide.Laughlin said that since she was a child, she liked to take apart and reinstall electrical appliances in the home, trying to understand the internal structure of those things.His most adventurous experience was to completely disassemble the color TV at home, but he couldn't install it in the end.Although it is dangerous to do so, he thanked his parents for their tolerance: I hope to know why this is the principle, you must know the truth.

Hoft also talked about some of his childhood anecdotes: When I was young, I saw bugs moving in the sand. I was very curious. I wanted to know what the life of these bugs was like, so I thought, in the sand Dig a hole and see how the world in the sand is different from the world outside, so curiosity is important.If you lack curiosity about things, it will be difficult to have a correct scientific attitude, and it will be impossible to have outstanding scientific achievements.

In the eyes of ordinary people, scientists are a group of mysterious figures: they have serious expressions, shuttling between bottles and jars in the laboratory all day long, and often give up holidays for obscure research.In fact, they have many issues to discuss and many things to do every day.

Steven Chu was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997. He said that scientists should really like what they are doing and have a sense of excitement.When selecting students, he should pay attention to whether they have great interest in research projects.When you are curious about your career, all your enthusiasm and persistence will naturally be stimulated.

Scientific research life is very fascinating. Steven Chu said that in a successful team, you will have close contact with the best people to understand how they think and what issues they care about. These will have a great impact on your success. big help.

Curiosity has led scientists to discover more. In the scientific community, there are countless success stories due to curiosity.

X-ray is no stranger to us, it is widely used in medical diagnosis and research on material structure.But you know what? X-rays were discovered by the German physicist Roentgen, the first Nobel Prize winner in physics, out of curiosity.

One day in 1895, Rontgen was working on the fluorescence phenomenon caused by cathode rays in the laboratory. When he looked at the high-vacuum discharge tube, he accidentally found that the tube coated with barium platinocyanide was placed two meters away from the discharge tube. The screen also emitted fluorescence, and when the discharge tube stopped discharging, the fluorescence disappeared immediately.This phenomenon aroused Roentgen's strong interest. Out of curiosity, he experimented again and again, moving the screen to a place far away from the discharge tube for a while, wrapping the discharge tube with black paper for a while, and finally It is determined that this is a new substance different from cathode rays.Then, through further experiments, he found that this kind of light cannot be deflected by a magnetic field, but it can sensitize a sealed negative, pass through a thin metal sheet, and even show coins or palm bones in clothes on the photo.After some deliberation, Roentgen gave this mysterious uninvited guest a name: X-ray, X means unknown.

After the discovery of X-rays, it caused a huge sensation among scientists all over the world. For a while, there was an upsurge in the study of X-rays all over the world. Roentgen's discovery ushered in a new era for human beings to explore the material world.

Anyone who has studied Einstein's path of scientific discovery knows the story of Einstein chasing light.Einstein envisioned a person chasing light and what would happen when he held light in his hand. Driven by this curiosity, he thought hard and studied for more than ten years, and finally came up with a A not-so-surprising conclusion: time is suspicious.But it was this suspicion. After long-term and patient thinking, he proposed the concept of special relativity, and all of this originated from Einstein's curiosity about light.

Do you long for your flower of wisdom to bloom as soon as possible?Do you long for your creative inspiration to come as soon as possible?Then, observe life carefully and observe the big and small things around you!A person who does not love life and turns a blind eye to everything around him will not have a curiosity.If you want to be a bright star on the stage of life in the future, start by strengthening your curiosity—taking the first step of your talent—start!

Curiosity works wonders.The curiosity of wolves makes them unconsciously explore nature, thus discovering miracles.Human curiosity can also lead humans to create miracles.

In 1858, a rich family in Sweden gave birth to a daughter.Before long, however, the child developed an unexplained paralysis and lost the ability to walk.

One day, the girl went on a boat trip with her family.The captain's wife told the children what a lovely bird of paradise the captain had. The little girl was fascinated by the description of the bird and wanted to take a look in person.So the nurse left the child on deck and went to find the captain by herself.The child couldn't bear the strong curiosity, and couldn't wait for the nanny to come back, so he asked the waiter on board to take her to see the bird of paradise immediately.The waiter didn't know that her legs couldn't walk, but just took her to see the beautiful bird.A miracle happened. Because of his excessive desire and strong curiosity, the child ecstatically held the waiter's hand and walked slowly.Since then, the child's illness has been cured.When the girl grew up, she became curious about literature again, devoted herself to literary creation, and finally became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. She is the famous writer Selma Lagrave.

Strong curiosity can make people go beyond their own constraints and release potential energy.

The creation of the Sony stereo recorder also illustrates that curiosity creates opportunity.

Sony Corporation (SONY) is a world-renowned electronics and electrical equipment company, and its president Akio Morita is a very strategic operator.

In the early days, Japanese tape recorders were all wire recorders. In 1949, when the tape recorder made in the United States appeared in the Japanese market, Morita and Ibuka immediately bought its patent.After a year of research, Sony's tape recorder and tape were put on the market, and continued research to lower its price and shrink its size.A few months later, the first portable tape recorder was born, and the price was cut in half.

Soon, this tape recorder became popular in the entire Japanese market and received unanimous praise from consumers.

In 1952, after the news of the advent of the transistor reached the ears of Akio Morita, he flew to the United States to investigate. After several efforts, he bought this patented technology and concentrated on research to overcome the problem of the low frequency of the transistor. Production In 1955 alone, the sales of transistor radios produced by Sony Corporation reached 250 million U.S. dollars—and the cost of introducing patents was only 2 U.S. dollars. In three years, Akio Morita made this The value of a patent has doubled by 5 times.

In 1979, when several Sony technicians were repairing the portable recorder, they transformed the recorder into a four-channel stereo recorder out of curiosity.After knowing this, Akio Morita tested and checked the new machine himself, and quickly organized designers and engineers to give priority to the research and development of this recorder, and soon achieved another success.The newly developed pocket stereo recorder is light in weight and cheap in price, and has been welcomed by many young people who love music.

Because Akio Morita was able to seize the good opportunities for the development of the enterprise time and time again, in just a few decades, Sony has rapidly grown into a world-renowned company. In the selection of the Fortune Global 2000 in 500, Sony With an operating income of 600 billion US dollars, it ranks 52th in the global wealth list.

Curiosity is the driving force for success
As soon as the pups are born, they will look at this strange world with curious eyes, learn the skills of survival from the surrounding environment and their parents, and then thrive and multiply.Their curious nature makes them constantly discover the wonderful and wonderful things in nature.

In fact, in real society, many people's roles are also very similar to wolves.Some people are not satisfied with the status quo and are full of curiosity about everything. On the road to success, they have a keen perspective, seize opportunities, act quickly, face setbacks, and never admit defeat, just like wolves, no matter what kind of situation they face. Despite hardships and hardships, they can find a ray of hope in despair, so as to counterattack and turn defeat into victory. This kind of person is the strong in life.

Curiosity is the first step to success.

What is curiosity?We are not unfamiliar with this problem. Curiosity is to be interested in something we don’t know or understand, and to want to know more and be clearer. The 19th-century French writer Balzac said: The key to all sciences is undisputedly a question mark... and the wisdom of life probably lies in asking why every time something happens.Curious people will keep asking why.
