Fujian has always been a strange place in my mind. Fujian was called Bamin in ancient times. In ancient times, it was inhabited by aborigines known as Baiyue people in ancient books, and it was also a snake-eating people, with its own magical and wild lifestyle. Subsequently, the Han people in the Jin, Tang and Song Dynasties moved into this sinister landscape and blended with the local aborigines, gradually forming a unique Fujian people.
It seems that most men in Fujian are not good at words, and they are almost clumsy when they speak Mandarin with a strong Fujian flavor. But if it's a conversation between fellow villagers, it's as fast as a machine gun, hit the floor. I have a college classmate who is from Fujian. From him, we can see many characters of Fujian people. Not many words, occasionally surprising, making people laugh. Talk less and do more, but don't make public. The surface is cold, the expression is cool, and the key moment is silent, showing a loyalty. Pay attention to friendship and dignity, be violated and insulted, stand up and solve it by force. All this seems to reveal an unyielding indigenous style.
Fujian men always seem to be veiled, and there is no consistent statement. What's more, you can hear different opinions about Fujian men from different populations. For example, when you say "Fujian people", someone will immediately make an issue of the word Fujian. What is a "worm in the door"? But you will soon find that all Fujian men in your impression can wander the rivers and lakes, so that in Europe, nine of the ten China people there went to Fujian. You want to say that Fujian people are short and look weak, but in fact, Fujian has always produced sports stars, such as Ni Zhiqin, who once broke the world record of men's high jump with 2.29 meters. Chen Yanping is also a native of Fujian. If it weren't for the super wind speed in the 11th Asian Games, his triple jump to 17 meters and 5 meters away would have been a new Asian record. Cai Huanzong, a gymnastic genius who dominated China, was almost synonymous with men's gymnastics in China at that time. As for Tang Xianhu, the uncrowned king of world badminton, and Guo Yuehua and Chen Xinhua, world table tennis champions, there are countless sports elites from Fujian. Chen Zhonghe, the coach who led the women's volleyball team to the world championship 2 years later, is also from Fujian. Fujian men are generally low-key, and they are not good at showing off. However, in the past two years, Fujian men have made a big news-the Yuanhua case, which gives the impression that Fujian men are all related to smuggling. This is of course a misunderstanding.
The number of Fujian men in Shenzhen is not small. Of course, compared with those who went overseas, some of them are dwarfed. Most Fujian men who first traveled to Shenzhen knew the Overseas Chinese Building (also known as Overseas Chinese Travel Agency) near Shenzhen Railway Station, which is also an old hotel in Shenzhen. It's not too luxurious, but business has been booming, because at the beginning of the reform and opening up, businessmen from Jinjiang and Shishi, Fujian who went to Shenzhen to work hard and start a business, liked to stay there. As long as you live there, you will be in a trance and think that you are in southern Fujian. There are more guests who speak Minnan dialect upstairs and downstairs, restaurants and bars than Cantonese, and even the dishes cooked by chefs are authentic Minnan flavor. However, perhaps because the market in Shenzhen has become more and more mature, it seems that Fujian men are rarely seen in business now, but tea houses in Shenzhen are called "Anxi Tea House" everywhere, and almost all of them are opened by Fujian people. Fujian has been a famous tea town since ancient times, rich in oolong tea, and the most precious and famous one is the rock tea "Dahongpao" produced in Wuyishan, and the other is the "Tieguanyin" produced in Anxi, Quanzhou. Fujian men are cheerful and optimistic by nature, and they are the kind of temperament that can be covered when the sky falls. Therefore, what Fujian men like best is to make an appointment with three or five friends, sit in the teahouse for half a day or even a whole day, do nothing and enjoy the leisurely time. This kind of nature seems to be difficult to be associated with the phenomenon of "smuggling", but in fact, Fujian men were the first to travel across the ocean to work and earn money to support their families. For example, in Changle City, apart from farmland, the largest number are detached villas with villa-style design, and most of these "luxury houses" were built by Changle people who worked hard abroad to send money home. It is said that overseas immigrants send back as much as 5 million dollars to their hometown in Fujian every year, which is an important source of foreign exchange in Fujian.
It seems that the Fujian men who only focus on tea and tea restaurants in Shenzhen are very inconspicuous. In fact, this is the cleverness of Fujian men. Besides, looking at well-known Fujian enterprises such as Heng 'an, Seven Wolves, Anta, Fugui Bird, Guiren Bird, Qipai and Pinpai, they are not doing much, but the wealth of Fujian people can be comparable to that of Beijingers. For example, the annual advertising revenue of CCTV 5 is about 5 million RMB, of which 3 million RMB is contributed by Jinjiang, a county-level city in Fujian. Recently, the upsurge of brand image spokesperson has made enterprises in Jinjiang City invite all the big sports stars in the country! This shows the wealth of Fujian people. In fact, although the daily retail sales of private businessmen who put up the signboard of "Anxi Tea House" are not high, some even have only a few hundred yuan. In fact, tea is a commodity with high gross profit, and the retail gross profit margin can reach 1% (that is, 1 yuan can buy goods and sell them in 2 yuan). Therefore, in fact, Fujian men have quietly monopolized a high-profit industry in Shenzhen.
