Four Stories About Connections

故事一：乔治.波特（GeorgeBoldt）——希尔顿饭店首任总经理

This is a true story in the United States: an old couple went into a hotel lobby for a night on a stormy night.

But the night shift waiter of the hotel said, "I'm very sorry, but today's room has been booked up by the morning meeting.

The young man put forward this proposal with sincerity.

The old couple accepted his advice generously and apologized for the inconvenience caused by the waiter.

The next day the rain cleared, and the old gentleman went to check out. The counter was still the waiter last night. The waiter still said kindly, "the room you lived in yesterday is not the guest room of the hotel, so we will not accept your money, and hope you and your wife sleep well last night."

The old gentleman nodded his compliment: "you are the employee that every hotel owner dreamed of. Maybe I can help you build a hotel sometime."

A few years later, he received a registered letter from a gentleman. He said something about what happened in the rain and night. In addition, an invitation letter and a round-trip air ticket for New York were also invited to visit New York.

After arriving in Manhattan a few days later, the waiter met the former passenger at the intersection of fifth street and 34 street. At this intersection stood a magnificent new building. The old gentleman said, "this is the hotel I built for you. I hope you can manage it for me, remember?"

The waiter was so surprised that his speech suddenly became stammered: "do you have any conditions?

"I am called William Astor (WilliamWaldorfAstor). I have no condition. I said, you are my dream employee."

This hotel is the most famous Waldorf Waldorf Hotel in New York. This hotel was opened in 1931. It is the status symbol of New York's highest honor. It is also the first choice for senior dignitaries to visit New York.

The waiter who received the job was George Porter (GeorgeBoldt), a promoter of the Waldorf century status.

Interpretation: what attitude has made the waiter change his career?

The "pulse people" who run their contacts are all working hard to help our "noble people" at a critical time. In fact, "noble people" are everywhere. The world is full of many reasons. Every reason may push itself to another peak. Do not neglect anyone, nor neglect any opportunity that can help others. Learn to be warm to everyone, learn to do everything well and learn to be grateful for every opportunity. I believe we are our most important people.

    故事二：乔.吉拉德

A trainer once told such a story that he had the honor to participate in the speech of Joe Gilad on the connections. Before he spoke, he received Gilad's assistant card from two thousand or three thousand times. There were quite a few of the three thousand people present. I didn't expect him to open his suit when he started speaking. At least three thousand cards were put out to scatter the card on the spot.

The whole scene is crazy.

Interpretation: the most important thing to build human resources is to take the initiative.

    故事三：胡雪岩

When Gao Yang described Hu Xueyan, a merchant of red roof, he once wrote: "in fact, Hu Xueyan's wrist is also very simple. Hu Xueyan can speak and listen more. No matter how insipid the person is, he can be serious, with two eyes watching, as if he is very interested in hearing.

Interpretation: listening is the main weapon of communication between people.

    故事四：卡内基    

Carnegie, the US steel magnate, paid a super annual salary of $one million in 1921 (hired an executive, Schwab).

Interpretation: communication is the best way to build connections. Besides listening, you need to praise others in due time.
