Competition between Wuchuan Merchants and Chaozhou Merchants

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, a giant in China waved his hand and drew a circle on the southern land of China. This golden circle, which is more attractive than gold, has triggered a wave of immigrants in China. Like Columbus's discovery of the New World, Wuchuan people found the other side where they could make great efforts. Geographically, Guangdong has three deltas from north to south, one is the Pearl River Delta, and the other two are the Chaoshan Delta and the Jianjiang Delta. The Pearl River Delta has always been very rich. People living there have discovered the new continent earlier than us with their superior insight, but the wealth they already have makes them reluctant to leave this dripping land at their feet. However, people in Chaoshan Delta and Jianjiang Delta in the north and south are in poverty. Chaoshan people, both old sailors in business circles, naturally discovered this new continent of Shenzhen. When Wuchuan people began to March into the New World, Chaoshan people began to aim at Shenzhen without stopping. As a result, Chaoshan people who are known as "Jews in Guangdong" and Wuchuan people who are known as "Wenzhou people in Guangdong" started a little-known competition to seize the Shenzhen market. This contest is spontaneous, and it stems from the social and economic insight of the people and local residents. Due to the historical and cultural differences caused by geographical separation, Chaoshan people and Wuchuan people have different ideas. From the beginning, Chaoshan people made bold moves and beat their heads off. Together, they brought their family and property to Shenzhen in Qi Xin. They have no working capital and lent out all their ancestral houses. At that time, the local government in Chaoshan also gave strong support. They rented a shop in Shenzhen, with a mezzanine above, business below and people living above. Wuchuan people hesitated from the beginning until they discovered that this new continent really contains inexhaustible gold, and they really took a big step. Therefore, in terms of rhythm, Wuchuan people are indeed one step behind Chaoshan people, but this contest has not been won or lost so far. Chaoshan people, with their intelligence and hard-working spirit, have occupied half of Shenzhen's retail industry in just 20 years. From building materials to daily necessities, most of them are run by Chaoshan people. With their traditional handicrafts, Wuchuan people have created their own world in real estate, construction, automobile tires, waste recycling and other industries. In just 20 years, a large number of former farmers have become multimillionaires and billionaires.

Unity is the advantage of Chaoshan people, which is known all over the world. The word unity is precisely the weakness of Wuchuan people who are doing business outside. Someone in Shenzhen has said that if there are Chaoshan people doing business in a street, the whole street will soon become Chaoshan people's business. If a Wuchuan person comes to do business, Chaoshan people will move out. If two Wuchuan people are doing business in the street, the two Wuchuan people will close the door. This is obviously a joke, but it illustrates a problem. Wuchuan people are not United enough to do business outside. China people who entered the 2 1 century ushered in the dawn of the new century, but also ushered in new development opportunities after joining the WTO. With China's entry into WTO, Shenzhen's market and legal system are constantly improving, and a large number of overseas funds are pouring in. Many large and small enterprises in Shenzhen have started a new round of elimination and anti-elimination. This is undoubtedly a great challenge for Wuchuan people who have just gained a foothold. The reality requires Wuchuan people to unite, stand with unity, and waste without unity.
