Entrepreneurs Must Surpass The Water Margin

Be the first man in China

China's ancient business activities have always been in the forefront of the world in terms of scale and quantity, but why can't entrepreneurs emerge in China?

Why can't the market economy of ancient China develop greatly?

A "Water Margin" can be the best explanation, because the key to the rise of market trade to a market economy lies in the strength of the organization and the guarantee of the system to the interests, and the establishment of a strong organization and system, behind which is the culture of the organization to unite people's hearts, and the system's respect for personal interests.

It is at this point that "Water Margin" vividly depicts the basic structure of Chinese culture and system, that is, the culture of "Brotherhood" and "sharing happiness with each other."

The one hundred single eight of Liangshan will be able to get together. It is an important reason for the government to beat the masses and oppose the people, but the more important reason is a "righteousness".

From the seven heroes who had robbed the Chao Gai era of "birth line" in Liangshan, they focused on "gathering righteousness" and emphasized the meaning of "brothers." here, righteousness is actually a kind of "quasi blood relationship" cooperation mode. This kind of cooperation sometimes even exceeds the blood relationship. Liu Guan Zhang's "three knot" in the Three Kingdoms is a good example.

The so-called "gathering righteousness" refers to the fact that everyone is matched by brothers. The "big brother" in the organization is the leader, and then the logic of "big brother is also my elder brother" is used to realize the power distribution of organizational management in turn.

Song Jiang went up to the mountain in the second stage of Liangshan. He changed the "Hall of righteousness" into "loyalty hall", and promoted the "loyalty of brothers" to the "loyalty" of docking with the "mainstream values of society". In fact, the Liangshan culture has been put in place.

Because "gathering righteousness" is a kind of folk grass root organization form, it is a kind of "no matter good or bad, only sharing the meaning" organization cooperation way, but "loyalty" is different, "loyalty" is often associated with "Jun", "righteousness" plus "loyalty" before, it shows that the meaning of the brothers of the grass roots should rise to the "social justice" of the official "substitute the heaven and walk the road".

It is precisely from the "righteousness" to "loyalty" began, the Liangshan camp has actually split into two.

Song Jiang should be said to be the core figure in the two camps, and also the balance of these two "righteousness".

The name of "making money for charity and timely rain" clearly demonstrates the cultural tradition of Chinese social organization cohesion, that is, if we want to form a large organization, the most important thing is "the heart of the people", and the most important thing is to divide our wealth among other people who need help.

Conversely, those who have been helped will not only have to "drop the water in the future" but also propagate these righteous deeds in order to form a culture that encourages the weak and attacks the weak. This is why Si Songjiang, a small county town, can have such a huge "brand appeal" in the rivers and lakes.

A "Water Margin" made clear the organization for the founding and development of China.

Now let's look at the institutional system of Liangshan.

Liangshan is also a system with specialized people and specialized "military laws" and "military orders" with gambling stakes. However, all these have a premise that the system is subordinate to "righteousness" and "loyalty".

Song Jiang, a government official, ran away with Chao Gai and others. Instead, he won a cheering. It is the best indication of the "system and affection" in Jianghu culture. This grass-roots culture penetrates deeply in every corner. No one even wants to execute Song Jiang's crime, so Song Jiang can only perform his own distribution.

According to the economics of property rights, the system is a means to reduce paction costs in economic activities. Modern enterprise system is the product of adapting to more advanced and more complex economic activities.

Why can't we establish a modern enterprise system in China's business activities?

This is because we have found another way to reduce paction costs. That is the quasi Blood Brotherhood system.

Everyone is a brother, trading with heart, rewarding and rewarding, the benefits of such a culture are simple and efficient, but the biggest problem is the so-called "acquaintance culture" and "raw human culture".

That is to say, the water margin culture of rivers and lakes is actually a closed circle. When Yang Zhi attacked the Chao Gai and killed the rich and helped the poor, he questioned: "how do you divide the one hundred thousand elements of your robbery?

Is it just a few brothers?

Is it divided among the poor?

This is the characteristic of Jianghu culture. It tells the system to strangers, but it is necessary for brothers to know the friendship between the acquaintances in circles.

Is it out of the question of "brothers" talking about money?

On the one hand, conflicts of interest exist objectively. In case of a real conflict, what should we do?

The solution is "able man politics". People need a "timely rain" to understand the dispute of rivers and lakes, and the way to solve the problem is also very simple, that is, "righteousness is the first word", but this "righteousness" is confined to the brotherhood. For the sake of the sacrifice of others' interests, the dictatorship is generated by emotion and morality instead of rules.

From the beginning of love to the end of dictatorship, a "Water Margin" also clarified the logical main line of deepening the organization and system in China.

In many private enterprises, I often see Guan Gong, who is worshiped. In a modern equipment surrounded by Hong Kong, Huang Gong is very incompatible with Guan Gong, but this is the inner portrayal of many private entrepreneurs in China.

In the minds of quite a few entrepreneurs, the best way of organization is still "righteousness". The best system design is still "sharing happiness and sharing the same difficulties", and more importantly, such organizations and system design have achieved different degrees of success in the start-up and growth stages of enterprises, so that the call of "Chinese style management" has come one after another.

But after all, the modern enterprise system is built on another logic, that is, respecting personality independence and personal interests, and designing organization and system based on this.

In this sense, the biggest challenge for Chinese enterprises is not performance, but entrepreneurs themselves, if entrepreneurs can not surmount the margin of the water margin to learn and embrace modern business civilization, what will the future outcome be?

Market economy has always been more than just a profitable trading system. It is also a cultural system about individual value and organization cooperation. At this point, China's market economy construction has just begun, and the time period of measuring this construction is fifty years, one hundred years, not just thirty years.
