Two short stories explain why Jews are so rich and excellent.

Jews are only160,000, accounting for less than 0.3% of the global population, but they have won 27% of the global Nobel Prize and earned more than 30% of the global wealth. Genius figures such as Einstein, Marx, Buffett and von Neumann all came from this great country.

First, wisdom = = wealth

A Jew walked into a bank in new york, came to the loan department and sat down grandly.

"Excuse me, sir, what can I do for you?" The loan manager hurried forward to ask questions, while looking at the man's clothes: expensive watches, luxurious suits, high-end leather shoes, and tie clips inlaid with gems.

"I want to borrow some money."

"Ok, how much do you want to borrow?"

"1 USD."

"As long as 1 yuan?"

"Yes, can I borrow 1 USD?"

"Of course, as long as you have a guarantee, it is ok to borrow more."

"Ok, can these be guaranteed?"

As he spoke, the Jew took out a stack of stocks and government bonds from his luxurious wallet and put them on the manager's desk.

"A total of $500,000, is that enough?"

"Yes, of course! However, do you really only need $65,438 +0? "

"yes." As he spoke, the Jews received 1 dollar.

"The annual interest rate is 6%. One year later, as long as you repay the principal and interest of *** 1.06 dollars, we can return these stocks and government bonds to you. "

"Ok, thank you."

When the Jews had finished speaking, they were ready to leave the bank.

The branch manager who has been watching coldly can't figure out why a person with assets of $500,000 only borrows 1 dollar when he comes to the bank. He hurried to catch up.

"Hello, sir."

What can I do for you?

"I really don't understand, you have assets of $500,000, why do you want to borrow 1 dollar from our bank? If you want to borrow $300,000 or $400,000, we will be very happy. "

"Please don't worry about me. It's just that before I came to your bank, I asked several banks, and their safes were expensive. Therefore, I intend to deposit these stocks and bonds in your bank. Because the rent is so cheap, it is only 6 cents a year. "

Be good at changing thinking and thinking about problems, and problems will always become very simple.

Second, think from another angle.

1946, a Jew and his son traded copper products in Houston, USA. One day, the father asked his son, how much can a catty of copper sell now? The son answered 35 points. The father said, "Yes, all of Texas knows that a pound of copper is worth 35 cents, but as the son of a Jew, you should say $3.50." You can try to sell a pound of copper as a doorknob. "

More than 20 years later, his father died and his son ran a copper shop alone. His shop has sold bronze drums, reeds on Swiss clocks and watches, and won Olympic medals. He once sold a pound of copper for $3500. At this time, he is the chairman of mccall Company. However, what really made him famous was that he disposed of a pile of rubbish in new york.

1974, the United States government publicly invited tenders to clean up a pile of waste left over from the renovation of the Statue of Liberty. But months passed and no one responded. When he heard that he was in France, he immediately flew to new york. After seeing the mountains of copper, wood, screws and mud at the foot of the Statue of Liberty, he signed the tender without thinking.

At that time, many transportation companies in new york snickered at his foolish behavior, because in new york, there are strict regulations on garbage disposal, and it is easy to be sued by environmental protection organizations if it is not handled well.

While these people were watching this Jewish joke, he began to recruit workers to sort the waste. The sorted waste copper was melted again and thrown into the little Statue of Liberty. Processing soil and wood into grass roots; Recasting waste aluminum and lead into the key of new york Square; Finally, he even packed the dirt swept from the Statue of Liberty and sold it to a flower shop.

In less than three months, he turned this pile of waste into $3.5 million, and the price of copper per pound rose by more than 654.38+00,000 times.

In fact, Jews are not born smarter than others, but they know more about learning and the importance of knowledge. It is not necessarily that the difficulties we encounter cannot be solved, but that you need to think from another angle.

Wisdom is the perpetual motion machine to create wealth ~
