Fifteen years ago, I met a girl, and we have always known her well.
At first, the girl went to a financial company as an intern after graduation. At that time, she was asked to sell products. She was selling a stock index futures software, and she could get a considerable commission.
At that time, there was a client, an older brother, whose entire investment was only enough to qualify for opening an account, and he might lose his money quickly due to leverage operations. The client’s eldest brother had no foundation, he had seniors and juniors, and his wife was about to give birth to a baby. After the girl found out about the eldest brother’s situation, she truthfully told him that he was not suitable to participate in the operation because the eldest brother had no education and had never studied finance. , and the funds were small, so the eldest brother did not buy it.
There was no need for her to tell the truth at that time, but she knew in her heart that she could not do so. However, it also affected the interests of the financial company. She told the truth in the phone recording and was persuaded to quit and fired.
She worked for 13 days and didn’t get a penny, but she didn’t regret it or complain.
In fact, the customer brother didn’t buy products from the girl back then, and might have found other ways, but at least the girl stuck to her bottom line, tried to be frank and honest, and did not deliberately hide it for the sake of commission.
From what I know about her, she is indeed not suitable for this job in a financial company.
Later, the girl went it alone and opened an online store. At that time, the personal online store was in its bonus period, and the product selection was suitable, so the girl’s online store operated very well for several consecutive years.
At that time, it was allowed to sell cut butter on the Internet, but the girl insisted on selling genuine products. The cost was high, so there was not much profit. At that time, there was a substitute product with high profits but poor quality. The girl insisted on not substituting it as a good product, and successfully maintained a large number of customers. Customers introduced customers, and the business was so booming that many employees were too busy to work together.
You want to ask how you can be sure that what others are selling is a substitute, because they are all from the same distribution agent, there is no secret, and sometimes they meet directly to deliver goods together.
In such an environment, the girl did not join in the misfortune, but still adhered to the bottom line and made genuine products.
When other packaged products were about to expire, she really didn’t sell them, but she didn’t waste them either. Instead, she took her family to help make finished food and donated it to a stray animal rescue center.
Later, with the standardization of e-commerce, regulations were issued not to sell repackaged products. The girl also actively responded to the regulations, registered a company, and obtained a food distribution license.
The girl’s business has always been very good, but because of this, people in the same building were jealous of her large volume of shipments every day, so they reported the girl on March 15 for personal sales of repackaged products. What the person who reported it didn’t know was that the girl had already actively responded to the new regulations when they were announced online, and everything was legal.
The girl had no personal grudge against the reporter and had no trouble later going to the reporter.
The girl’s online store was investigated due to the report. During the investigation, some products had to be removed from the shelves, which affected her sales and rankings.
Originally, when the girl ran this online store, she would never sell fakes. To compete with those fakes, the profit was very low. Although she sold a lot, she went out early and came back late every day to worry about it. It was also very hard. Over the years, she has also worked hard. . This investigation affected the operation of her online store.
While the girl was cooperating with the investigation, a noble man appeared and recommended her to work in the big company she most wanted to work in when she graduated. Thanks to the noble man’s initiative, the girl finally got her wish and got into that company, and she was still in a core position, doing the work she was good at.
Later, the girl’s online store submitted various certificates according to the procedures, and the problems were solved. But she no longer runs an online store.
Later, the epidemic broke out at the end of 2019, and it was even more difficult for a private store to try to import food. If the girl continued to do it, it would be even more difficult. Fortunately, the girl had already gone to work before that, and she was in her favorite university. After several years of hard work in the company, he has become a small leader and leads a relatively good and stable life.
I was very surprised, how did the girl manage to hold on to the bottom line of her character for so many years? Every day during those years, she watched others make a lot of money selling substitute products, while she made less than others. What kind of mentality did she have?
Then I thought about it: if she sells financial products to her client’s brother, and if she quits her job and changes her mobile phone number, the client’s brother won’t be able to find her; if she sells butter substitutes or changes the label for packaging food, others may not be able to find her either. Will find out.
It seems a bit silly for her to stick to the bottom line so much, but from the perspective of long-term development, the girl is not stupid at all. It is precisely because of her moral character, philosophy, and responsibility that she is worthy of her current bright future.
Moreover, I believe that she can live openly and at ease every day. This is the beautiful life that truly suits her.
final thoughts
Sticking to the bottom line may seem silly to some “smart” people, but in fact, it is great wisdom, because if you don’t do anything wrong, you can feel at ease every day, and your life will naturally attract more beautiful things. Some people violate morality for temporary gain. They gain temporary benefits, but they also sow the seeds of disaster. Sooner or later, they will have to pay for their immorality.
Blessings and misfortunes have no way, they can only be brought about by people. In fact, whether the future will be a blessing or a disaster has already been determined by our daily words, deeds, and actions. It’s just that people in the world don’t know and will cause trouble for the petty gain in front of them.
Of course, some situations may seem unfair and undeserved, but there may be a big gift hidden behind them. Just like the girl in the article, her online store was investigated, but she also found a new way out. As long as you have a clear conscience, everything will happen for the best.
