400-point reward: The true meaning of "1+1 equals how much" in the entrepreneurial process

Who said 1+1 cannot be greater than 2

Even if you are a "genius", you may be able to get a certain amount of wealth with your imagination. But if you know how to combine your imagination with the imagination of others, you will definitely achieve much greater achievements. The "mind" of each of us is an independent "energy body", and our subconscious mind is a kind of magnet; when you act, your magnetism is generated. and attract wealth. But if your spiritual power is combined with more people with the same "magnetism", a powerful "magnetic field" can be formed, and the power of this magnetic field to create wealth will be unparalleled.

1. Let 1+1 release energy greater than 2

In the Auschwitz concentration camp during the Nazi period, a Jew said to his son Heath: "The only wealth we have now is wisdom. When others say 1 plus When 1 equals 2, you should think that it is greater than 2." Later, the Nazis poisoned 536,724 people in the Auschwitz concentration camp, but the father and son miraculously escaped death.

In 1946, they came to the United States and started a copperware business in Houston. One day, his father asked Heath, what is the price of a pound of copper? Heath answered 35 cents. The father said: "Yes, the whole state of Texas knows that the price of copper per pound is 35 cents, but as the son of a Jew, you should say 3.5 dollars. If you try to be different from others, you can do 1+1 Greater than 2.

Twenty years later, after his father died, Heath ran a bronze shop alone. He once made bronze drums, reeds for Swiss clocks, and sold Olympic medals for one pound. By the time he earned $3,500, he was already the chairman of McCall's company.

In 1974, the U.S. government solicited bids for garbage collectors to clean up the waste thrown away from the renovation of the Statue of Liberty. More than ten days passed, but no one accepted the bid.

After hearing about it, Heath immediately flew to New York to see the mountains of copper blocks, screws and wood piled under the Statue of Liberty. Afterwards, he signed immediately without any conditions.

Many transportation companies in New York secretly laughed at Heath's stupid move because there are strict regulations on garbage disposal in New York. Just when some people wanted to see this Texan's joke, Heath began to organize workers to sort the scraps and have people melt the scrap copper and cast it into a small Statue of Liberty; Processed into a base; scrap lead and scrap aluminum were made into the key to the New York Plaza. Finally, he even packaged the dust swept from the Statue of Liberty and sold it to a florist. In less than 3 months, he made this pile. The scrap was turned into 3.5 million US dollars in cash, and the price of each pound of copper increased 10,000 times.

In today's real life, we not only need to learn the shrewd business methods of the Jews, but also learn from them. In the management of enterprises, for every management and every employee, 1+1 is greater than 2. Everyone is very clear about this truth. However, it is precisely in some companies. There is such a tradition, 1+1 is not equal to 2, nor is it greater than 2, but 1+1 is less than 2. Some people may ask here, why? So here we will make an analogy; it is like: a person does something well. Very good, if two people work together, or two companies work together, they will not be able to do it, and there will be friction, and friction will arise. Therefore, it is not that 1+1 is greater than 2, but 1+1 is less than 2. Therefore, we have a saying. As the saying goes, one monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat. This is exactly the reason for social progress and labor efficiency. With the continuous improvement of society and the increasingly fine division of labor in society, each job can no longer be completed by the strength and wisdom of one person alone. It requires a team to work together through the mutual cooperation of each person and use the power of the team to achieve the goals of the same team. Completed. But what is a team? A team refers to a group that has the same goals, can communicate thoroughly, trust each other, and cooperate with each other.

An employee in a company is Xiao Liu. During the two days of outdoor development training, he deeply understood that he was feeling the huge power of the team every moment, and he was shocked by the team power reflected in every activity. He was also moved by the teamwork spirit displayed.

It not only gave him a spiritual sublimation, but more importantly, this team spirit will affect his future work and even his future life. Yes, there is a popular saying that there is no perfect individual, but there can be a perfect team!

Xiao Liu also said that through the following training activities, he had a deeper understanding of the true meaning of 1+1 greater than 2.

Xiao Liu said this:

The one that I remember most deeply is "Island Rescue". The three islands are like three different levels of staff. The coach divided us into three groups. The blind people represent the lowest-level employees, the dumb people represent the middle management, and the sighted people represent the upper-level leaders. Although they have many differences in tasks, the ultimate goal is the same: each level works hard in its own different way for the ultimate success. In turn, if the work at any level is done Failure to do so may result in failure of the ultimate goal. The final purpose of this kind of game is that our group of people completed it well. It made me realize the importance of "effective communication" - communication is easy to do, but unnecessary information is blocked and communication is achieved. Timely, effective, and adequate but requires constant exploration; effective communication is not about chattering and grandstanding, but about delivering the necessary information to the right partner at the right time in the right way, and through his feedback information to reach the same goal. to improve work efficiency. There are also other projects that have made them realize the importance of teamwork.

First, clarify the goals and think innovatively to find methods.

Second, trust and respect each other.

Third, unite, cooperate and help each other to win.

Fourth, develop your own execution ability.

Fifth, details determine success or failure.
