A Promise as Good as a Gold tells the story of a boy who borrowed money from Qin Wenjun when he was a child. Qin Wenjun saw excellent and trustworthy words from this boy, because there was a touching promise and commitment in him.
Original text:
When I was a girl, I met a boy who asked me to borrow money. All he asked was to borrow two dollars. At that time, it was equivalent to my pocket money for two months. I hesitate, because everyone knows that the boy's family is poor. His mother gives birth to a brother or sister for him almost every year. She left you with two impressions: one is that her abdomen bulges and she walks unsteadily; The other is just having a baby, holding the newborn baby with a cloth in his hand and sitting at home in the sun.
My embarrassment embarrassed the boy, and he bowed his head. Said the money was urgent and promised to pay it back within five days. I don't know how to refuse him, so I have to lend him money.
Time passed day by day, and on the fifth day, the boys didn't come to school. All day, I blamed him in my heart, scolded him for not keeping his word, and always wanted to cry in a trance.
When I was getting ready for bed at night, I suddenly heard someone calling me outside the window. I opened the window and saw the boy standing outside the window. His face was sweaty, his fist was clenched tightly, and he said hoarsely, "Watch me juggle!" " "He put his fist on the windowsill, and then suddenly let go, put his hand in the two-dollar bill like a flower. I cried in surprise, and he smiled happily, as if we had done something together and let a hanging stone fall to the ground. He repeatedly said, "I came from the dry bridge." "
Later, I learned that he was eager to lend money to his hypoglycemia mother to buy glucose. In order to return it as scheduled, he goes to the dry bridge near the North Station every night to help the vegetable farmers push vegetables. At dawn on the fifth day, he finally saved enough two yuan. He was so tired that he fell asleep under the bridge. Unexpectedly, he slept all day and all night. After waking up, he began to run wildly, and all passers-by could not guess why the boy was in such a hurry to finish the night.
It was my only contact with that boy, but the shock he left me was long and profound. I will always think of him when I see words like "excellent" and "keeping promises" in the future, because he has a touching rigor.
That boy really succeeded in his career. Maybe he has forgotten it for a long time, but I always feel that this is the source of his success.
It seems that commitment is just a style, a reality and a firmness, but its connotation involves whether it is serious about the world. Sincere and rigorous people do things naturally and openly, take root and sprout, and once a word is spoken, it is difficult to recall. The significance of that criterion has gone beyond itself, and the brilliant human ideal and spirit and justice are among them.
However, in the vast world, too many people make promises at will, but they never keep them. Those people seem to live more easily than those who keep their promises. Unfortunately, this situation will not last long. If a person breaks his promise many times, his promise will be regarded as a joke and the price will be greatly reduced. Not to mention how others will look down on him, even himself, and that kind of boredom and burnout will gradually attack my heart. As soon as people have that kind of down-and-out taste, the brilliance of being a man will be greatly inferior.
One night last autumn, it rained heavily, which was a rare downpour. I went to the station with an umbrella to meet a friend, and we agreed to rain or shine. I waited at the station, but I didn't see my friend appear. Instead, I saw a young man standing in front of the bus stop sign, his shoulders trembling without an umbrella. I put my umbrella in the past, and he thanked me gratefully and told me that he was also waiting for a friend here. The car passed by, and the rain formed a rain curtain on the umbrella. The world is white, and there are no people we want. I told the teenager that they might not come, and the teenager shook his head stubbornly. Here comes another car. Suddenly, a teenager jumped out of the car and gave a cry of great joy. The boy jumped out under the umbrella, and the two of them gave a warm high five. That happiness was so frank and pure, and mutual appreciation flowed in that blow, which made me feel a sublimation of my soul when I witnessed the picture.
I finally failed to wait for my share of joy. I came back disappointed, but I got a call from my friend at home. She said it was raining too hard, so ... I want to say, we agreed at that time, why did you say rain or shine? It can be said that the heavy rain has been cancelled. Since we said rain or shine, there is no need to be afraid, just rain or shine. However, I didn't say anything, just hung up the phone gently. Because for those who don't pay much attention to commitment, she will find a thousand reasons to excuse herself, and I prefer to make time to think about the two teenagers who met in the rainstorm.
The promise of a thousand dollars: Liu Wentao's works
A promise to be kept.
Author: Liu Wentao
Wang Zhenqiang, 1972, was born in Rongcheng County, Hebei Province, a famous clothing city in China. Influenced by the local economic environment, he embarked on the road of honest business very early.
Over the years, Wang Zhenqiang has built Hebei Haodan Clothing Co., Ltd. step by step based on honesty. He has won the moral model of "Good this beautiful city", the moral model of Baoding City, the quality model of Hebei Province, and the May 1 Labor Medal of Hebei Province, all of which are related to his integrity.
Being an honest man and doing things honestly are Wang Zhenqiang's eternal life and business principles.
In the interview, we recorded two legendary stories of Wang Zhenqiang in China clothing industry, and share them with you here.
The first is the story of Wang Zhenqiang's "keeping his promise".
Ten years ago, Hebei Haodan Clothing Co., Ltd. was in a critical period of serious lack of money and urgent need to expand its business and gradually develop and grow.
One day, Wang Zhenqiang went to other places to find a broker. In houma city, he interviewed two local dealers, one named Xue Zicheng and the other named Wang. The first dealer named Xue Zicheng is sincere and well funded. Although the agency fee is relatively low, they talked very well and reached an agency agreement orally at once. The second dealer, Wang, is generous and careless, but it will take some time to decide whether to be an agent or not.
On the same day, Wang Zhenqiang returned to Rongcheng by train.
Unexpectedly, the second dealer Wang suddenly called the next morning, claiming that after a night of repeated thinking, he had made up his mind and decided to be Wang Zhenqiang's agent. He wanted to replace Xue Zicheng, the first distributor, before Wang Zhenqiang signed a contract with him in black and white. To this end, he is willing to pay an agency fee of 500,000 yuan more than Xue Zicheng.
At that time, it was not a small amount to get 500 thousand for nothing, and Wang Zhenqiang and Xue Zicheng only reached an oral agreement.
This makes Wang Zhenqiang in a dilemma.
In the evening, Wang Zhenqiang went home to discuss with his wife. His wife was overjoyed at this. She jumped up happily from the bed, suddenly rolled up two thin arms, put her arms around her husband Wang Zhenqiang's neck, kissed his lips hard, and then, on the cheek, she took another bite. Moreover, she ran to the living room and peeled four bananas for her husband Wang Zhenqiang one by one, and sent them to her husband Wang Zhenqiang's mouth, boasting repeatedly. It was when I was short of money that my husband just found an agent, which solved the headache of employees' salary "problem" and eased the great pressure of the company's liquidity.
However, after calm thinking, Wang Zhenqiang felt that although there was no formal contract with Xue Zicheng, the first distributor, the oral agreement was also a promise, and it was a promise to be observed. A word from a gentleman is a promise, and there is nothing to hesitate about. Honesty and trustworthiness are what everyone should do.
So, if you promise to cooperate with Xue Zicheng, the first distributor, how do you explain it to your wife? How can a company spend money on its employees if it has no money? What if the company lacks working capital?
Before dawn the next day, his wife urged her husband, Wang Zhenqiang, to sign a contract with the second dealer, Wang, and strive to get a "life-saving" windfall of 500,000 yuan.
Seeing his wife's excitement, Wang Zhenqiang didn't dare to throw cold water on her face, for fear that she would quarrel and have a dispute. So, in order not to affect the feelings of husband and wife, Wang Zhenqiang quietly avoided his wife on the pretext of signing the contract immediately, bought two bottles of good wine and a lot of ready-made meat, vegetables and fruits in the store, and drove to his parents' home. When the wine was hot, he told his parents-in-law what he really thought and got their understanding and support.
In this way, Wang Zhenqiang hid from his wife and the first dealer, Xue Zicheng, and later signed a formal agency contract.
Wang Zhenqiang's personality charm of being unmoved by interests, honest and trustworthy, and keeping promises deeply touched Xue Zicheng.
Catch me, and I'll catch you.
In the past ten years, in order to repay Wang Zhenqiang's righteous act, Xue Zicheng has been conscientious in sales, and has never slackened off, achieving annual sales of more than 20 million yuan.
The friendship between Wang Zhenqiang and Xue Zicheng has been circulating in China garment industry for a long time, which is an amazing honesty and business story.
The second is the story of Wang Zhenqiang's "losing is a blessing".
One year, Wang Zhenqiang bought a batch of clothing raw materials. At the beginning, the raw materials of 300 suits were inspected in detail in every link of production and processing, and it was confirmed that there were no quality problems.
However, after it was put on the market, unexpected things happened, and the suit was worn for a long time, and the phenomenon of "pilling" appeared.
According to the analysis of relevant experts, the phenomenon of "pilling" of clothes is mainly due to the deterioration of raw materials after the shelf life.
Is it the fault of Hebei Haodan Clothing Co., Ltd. that the raw materials have deteriorated after the shelf life? Or is it the fault of the other seller?
To this end, Wang Zhenqiang wants to communicate with the other sales manufacturer by telephone and ask the other party to bear part of the economic losses. The reason is that the other party knows that the raw materials are about to expire and still sell them, which is irresponsible to consumers. Unexpectedly, before his words were finished, the other party insisted that the factory fashion of raw materials was not within the warranty period, and he was unwilling to bear economic losses. Instead, he asked Wang Zhenqiang to pay the other party 600,000 yuan of clothing raw materials within three months according to the remittance date agreed in the contract.
At this time, a lawyer Cao appeared in the county seat. After learning about Wang Zhenqiang's situation, he suggested that Wang Zhenqiang immediately sue and take up legal weapons to safeguard his legitimate rights and interests.
Lawyer Cao promised at the first time that as long as Wang Zhenqiang paid the prosecution fee himself, the lawsuit would definitely win, because the other party knew that the clothing raw materials were about to expire, and there was a certain fault in the sale. Legally speaking, it belongs to industry fraud, which is obviously caused by the long inventory time of the other party and should bear the main responsibility. Wang Zhenqiang can get back at least 80%, that is, the economic loss of 480,000 yuan.
After a month, considering that Wang Zhenqiang is a good-looking person, Mr. Cao found Wang Zhenqiang again and promised the law firm to bear the prosecution costs. For the second time, he promised to win the lawsuit and recover the economic losses for the company, and asked Wang Zhenqiang to file a case as soon as possible.
At the end of the third month, seeing that the contract remittance date agreed by both parties was coming, Mr. Cao found Wang Zhenqiang again. Lawyer Cao promised for the third time that in order to safeguard the dignity of the law, he would resolutely perform the sacred duty of a lawyer and implore Wang Zhenqiang to sue without appearing in court, as long as Wang Zhenqiang signed the indictment.
However, Wang Zhenqiang doesn't like the practices of some manufacturers in society. Once the product has quality problems, pass the buck and kick the ball, and no one will take responsibility.
In Wang Zhenqiang's eyes, what he values more is the credibility of the company.
In the end, in the case of fruitless negotiations with the other party, Wang Zhenqiang politely declined the kindness of Mr. Cao's three visits. After a long period of consideration, in fact, Wang Zhenqiang had to bear the economic losses himself, mainly to avoid consumers being cheated. All these suits were recovered and destroyed at the original price.
As a result, Wang Zhenqiang not only didn't fight an economic dispute lawsuit with the other party, but also gave the other party 600,000 yuan of raw materials according to the prior contract, and never mentioned it again.
In the eyes of ordinary people, people may cause major economic disputes for tens of thousands of dollars. Some people complain, some people are desperate, and some people commit suicide by jumping off a building. However, Wang Zhenqiang did not put the economic loss of 600,000 yuan under his nose. Why? As soon as the news came out, people began to talk about it. Some people say that Wang Zhenqiang is a man of his word and integrity. This man is very loyal. Some people say that Wang Zhenqiang is young, promising, courageous and promising. His mind is as broad as the sea and he is a great gentleman. Some say that Wang Zhenqiang has billions in his hand, which is not enough for others to use. Others said that it was not enough to plug his teeth. As famous as Ma Yun, Li Ka-shing, Wang Jianlin and Ma Hua Teng, in a word, the reputation is getting louder and louder, and the news is spreading farther and farther. Wang Zhenqiang has become a mysterious and honest business legend in the minds of young people.
It is understood that Hebei Haodan Clothing Co., Ltd. was founded in 1986, with a building area of16,000 square meters and more than 800 employees. It mainly produces hundreds of kinds of clothes such as suits, shirts, leisure and cotton-padded jacket, with an annual output of 300,000 pieces (sets) of middle and high-grade suits and an output value of 654.38+08 billion yuan. Our products are sold to Beijing, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, Hubei, Urumqi and Northeast China. It has more than a dozen provincial agents, three subsidiaries and more than 800 specialty stores, and its products have been rated as "Hebei Famous Trademark", "Hebei Famous Trademark" and "China Famous Trademark".
In recent years, the company's economic benefits have grown rapidly, its economic strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the company is rich. Wang Zhenqiang has never forgotten to serve the country and give back to the society. In the name of the company, it has donated hundreds of thousands of yuan to Wenchuan County in Sichuan Province and Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai Province.
To be exact:
Hebei men are brave,
Honesty is often discussed in business.
Once you make money,
Love, charity and donation.
