Chen Shouting's success in Dyeing House depends on his wisdom and valuable experience.

The Big Dyeing Workshop tells the story of a beggar boy named Chen Shouting in Zhoucun, Shandong Province in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. After being adopted by Zhoucun shopkeeper Zhoucun Tonghe Dyeing House, he studied hard to dye cloth. After ten years of painstaking efforts, he co-founded Dahua Printing and Dyeing Factory, embarked on the road of industrial printing and dyeing, and finally made Dahua Printing and Dyeing Factory the second largest printing and dyeing factory in Qingdao.

In that turbulent era, why did he develop Dahua Dyeing Factory into the second largest dyeing factory in Qingdao? I think it depends on his wisdom and accumulated valuable experience. Why do I say that?

1. Chen Shouting is rude and illiterate, but he is clear-headed and has the brains and adaptability needed by a successful businessman. He can stand out in Qingdao dyeing and weaving industry because he has his own hands, wisdom and valuable experience. He is not a boastful playboy like Lin of the Lins' family in Shanghai, nor does he have a prominent background and rich net worth. The wealth and connections he has come from his own mind and personality, without any other impurities.

2. The competition between Yuan Heng factory owner Sun Mingzu and Dahua factory Chen. In order to get the formula, Sun Mingzu did not hesitate to let the "foreign horse" around him seduce Lu Jiaju with a honey trap and ask for the formula. After being arrested, Lu Jiaju regretted it and was ready to escape. Chen Shouting didn't blame him at this time, but promised to give it to others; Secondly, let the workers go to the dye vat to fill things, which led to Sun Mingzu dyeing a lot of cloth; Finally, he dyed the cloth back. In the end, he let the other person live. One is that he can't completely defeat each other for the time being, and the other is that he has great wisdom of being reasonable and tolerant of others.

3. Uniform Lin, as the first dyeing and weaving factory in Shanghai, was born in a big family. Because of his contempt and fear for Chen, Lin stood him up several times to ask for cooperation and asked the clerk to invite him to dinner to humiliate him. Chen pretended to be a beggar and cheated 8000 pieces of cloth. Afterwards, he sent a letter on his own initiative. As long as the other party pays the postage, he will refund it directly. Lin, who suffered losses, refused to stop there. Separate him from the Zhao brothers first, and then let the tax bureau investigate and deal with him. The worst thing is to manipulate the public opinion that "Chen Shouting profiteers cheat and buy, and Lin keeps his word" and wantonly slander his reputation. Chen Shouting was furious, but he had a plan: he had the 8,000 pieces of cloth sold at a low price, and declared that "diapers can only be made" and gave them to beggars. As a result, the brand image of "Youmei", which sells well all over the country, has plummeted, resulting in unsalable sales nationwide. When Lin's father came to make peace, he voluntarily admitted that he had "offended the old-timers", which not only solved the grievances smoothly, but also added a long-term partner. Does this reflect the unique wisdom of businessmen for a period of time?

4. Outwit Japanese Fujii, Japanese businessman Fujii took the invading army and threatened him to cooperate. On the one hand, he secretly sent someone to buy a lot of discarded cloth from the other side, ready to send it to the northeast where the Japanese sold it exclusively, while waiting for negotiations. When negotiating, state the interests first, and then move with emotion. It not only avoids the risk of the other party, but also can survive this difficulty safely.

In a word, Chen Shouting's success is by no means accidental, but depends on his wisdom and valuable experience.
