The oldest company in the world, which has only done one kind of business for thousands of years, has not closed down yet. With the development of the times, all walks of life are constantly changing, and some traditional industries are gradually replaced by emerging industries, so few companies can survive for thousands of years, and there will always be new industries to replace you. But this company was an accident. It is the oldest company in the world. It has only done one kind of business for thousands of years, and now the company has not closed down. This company is called Jingang Group, which was founded in 578 AD, when China was in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. This is a Japanese construction company and the oldest family business in the world. Why the King Kong Group Company has been enduring for thousands of years has something to do with the belief in Japan, which believes in Buddhism. At that time, Japan was only open to Buddhism for 35 years, so this industry was very popular. King Kong Group has only done one thing for thousands of years, that is, building temples. The reason why they can survive for so long is also related to their business ability. In 607, they built the Horyuji, which reached the peak of Japanese wooden architecture, and they also built the Four Heavenly Kings. These two temples represent two historical heritages of Japanese architecture, and the craftsmanship of the temples they built is still inherited and very practical. They also have their own signs, and every time they build a temple, they will be engraved with "strong field". In fact, King Kong Group also faced the risk of bankruptcy many times, but they all survived one by one. The first time was/kloc-after the Meiji Restoration in the 9th century, Japan opposed Buddhism, so their business was bleak. This has just been established, and it is facing such a crisis. However, because the founder believed in Buddhism and thought that Buddhism would definitely persist, he also persisted. The second time was 1934. The heir doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps. He had his favorite industry, so he refused. They have no choice. They have persisted for so many years that he can't go out of business, so let his wife continue to operate. I didn't expect her to run well and make the company develop well. The third time was World War II. We all went to war at that time. Who has time to build temples? The business of King Kong Group was bleak and almost closed down, but King Kong Group saw hope in the war. Whenever there was a war, many people died, so they began to make coffins, and thus they passed another crisis. After that, their development was not smooth, even they were heavily in debt, and they thought about giving up, but in the end they failed to give up this Millennium industry and persisted. Now King Kong Company is still in business, with a history of 1400 years. They are still building temples. In the face of the existence of their company for thousands of years, many people will ask them for advice on the mystery. Jingang Dai, the 40th King Kong family, just said, there is no secret, the most important thing is persistence. Persistence is the most basic and important thing. Indeed, no matter what you do, you must stick to it. Only by persisting can we see the effect and hope. In Japan, many people do one thing all their lives. They focus on one thing, so they become masters in this field and have made some achievements. The same is true of an industry. Regardless of prosperity or decline, we should insist on doing one thing, instead of doing this today and doing another thing tomorrow. Persistence is the eternal way to survive.
