为人之道,即为商之道。从未受过儒家文化影响的沃尔玛却给中国商业上了一堂深刻的文化课。上世纪90年代初,约翰·沃尔顿曾亲临上海谈判。这位世界数一数二的富翁,坐的是经济舱,住的是有两个单人床的普通标准间,吃的是工作套餐。上海市当时的主要领导大为感动,催促具体参与谈判的下属官员:如此谦逊俭朴的企业家,可予开绿灯。但是,谦逊的沃尔玛却很顽固,最终因“工会”一条导致谈判失败。时至今日,沃尔玛依然谦虚而顽固。在沃尔玛商店里,你可以吃到最本土化的油条,看到中国小孩席地而坐阅读小人书。沃尔玛同时也顽固地坚守着自己的道德底线,为“君子有所为有所不为”作出独特的示范。它不做中国政府公关,它不收进场费,它严格禁止供货商向采购经理送礼,在它内部杜绝依靠“关系”式的提拔,它不允许供货商为降低成本让工人超时工作……凡在中国商业领域最常见也已经形成思维惯式的东西,诸如请客吃饭谈生意这种饭桌文化,沃尔玛也在不遗余力地抵制。沃尔玛内部特设防损部,外防 Man of the Road, that is the business of the Road. Wal-Mart, which has never been influenced by Confucianism, has given Chinese commerce a profound cultural lesson. The early 90s of last century, John Walton had personally come to Shanghai to negotiate. The world’s number one rich man, sitting in the economy class, living in a standard room with two single beds, eat a work package. The major leaders in Shanghai were greatly touched at that time, urging subordinate officials who took part in the negotiations in particular: such a modest and frugal entrepreneur may give the green light. However, modest Wal-Mart is very stubborn, and ultimately because of “union” one led to the failure of the negotiations. Today, Wal-Mart is still modest and stubborn. In the Wal-Mart Stores, you can eat the most local fried dough sticks and read Chinese books while sitting on the floor of a Chinese kid. At the same time, Wal-Mart stubbornly sticks to his own ethical bottom line and makes a unique demonstration of “what a gentleman does something about.” It does not make public relations in the Chinese government and it does not charge entrance fees. It strictly forbids suppliers from giving gifts to purchasing managers. It does not rely on the promotion of “relationship” within it. It does not allow suppliers to reduce costs so that workers Overtime work ... Where the most common in the commercial areas of China have also formed the habit of thinking things, such as dinner business talk about this dinner culture, Wal-Mart is also sparing no effort to resist.
