Với người Do Thái, thông tin là một yếu tố không thể thiếu trong kinh doanh, nắm được nó là nắm chắc tiền tài cả đời.
Có được thông tin trong tay, ta như nắm chắc một thứ "vũ khi ma thuật" để kiếm tiền. Người Do Thái tin rằng, nếu không có thông tin, các vị lãnh đạo công ty sẽ như người mù, không biết phải lựa chọn ra sao, cũng biết nên ra quyết định thế nào.
Tháng 7/1899, chuyên gia tài chính người Mỹ gốc Do Thái Bernard Baruch khi đó đang theo dõi diễn biến Chiến tranh Tây Ban Nha và Mỹ trên đài phát thanh. Khi đố, ông gnhe được tin rằng Hải quân Hoa Kỳ đã đánh bại hạm đội Tây Ban Nha tại San Diego.
Ngay lập tức, Baruch đã nhận định: "Chiến tranh Tây Ban Nha - Mỹ sẽ kết thúc. Lúc này, mua cổ phiếu chắc chắn sẽ phát tài". Vì thế, Baruch đã đặt một chuyến tàu từ sáng sớm hôm sau, lao từ nhà đến công ty với tốc độ nhanh nhất có thể. Việc "ăn" một lượng lớn cổ phiếu trên sàn chứng khoán tư nhân này đã thực sự tạo nên kỳ tích làm giàu sau 1 đêm.
Một người Do Thái khác là Charles-Louis Havas đã thành lập Hãng thông tấn Havas (Paris) vào năm 1832, sau đó kiếm được bộn tiền nhờ việc bán... thông tin. Havas Agence là hãng thông tấn sớm nhất thế giới, là tiền thân của Agence France-Presse (hãng thông tấn lớn thứ ba trên thế giới, đứng sau AP và Reuters).
tri-tue-lam-giau-tu-nguoi-do-thai-thong-tin-la-tien-bac-dat-gia
Hai hãng thông tấn lớn Agence France-Presse và Reuters đã kiếm được những số tiền không tưởng chỉ nhờ luân chuyển thông tin
Paul Julius Reuter là một người gốc Do Thái, từng đã làm việc cho Hãng thông tấn Havas một thời gian. Sau này, ông sau đó thành lập hãng tin Reuters ở Anh và bắt đầu kinh doanh phân phối tin tức. Sau đó, cả Havas và Reuters đã trở thành hai hãng thông tấn lớn, kiếm được những số tiền không tưởng chỉ nhờ luân chuyển thông tin.
Trong cuộc chiến kinh doanh, ta phải đối mặt với vô số những tay chơi sành sỏi và những người tài năng xuất chúng. Một khi cơ hội đến thì sẽ có rất nhiều người cùng bắt tay vào làm một lúc, điều quan trọng là ta phải nắm bắt nó thật nhanh.
Các doanh nhân người Do Thái tin rằng, "thông tin là tiền bạc", việc nắm được thông tin phù hợp có thể quyết định thành - bại. Chẳng hạn, theo giới kinh doanh Nhật Bản, doanh nhân Do Thái là người đầu tiên nắm được tin doanh nghiệp nào ở xứ hoa đào phá sản. Từ đó, họ sẽ nhanh chóng mua lại những công ty này, trước tất cả những người khác.
tri-tue-lam-giau-tu-nguoi-do-thai-thong-tin-la-tien-bac-dat-gia
Người Do Thái tin rằng, "thông tin là tiền bạc", nắm được thông tin phù hợp có thể quyết định thành - bại
Không chỉ nắm bắt thông tin đầu tiên, họ cũng rất nhanh nhạy trong việc thực hiện nó. Chẳng hạn, nếu có sản phẩm nào đó tiềm năng, họ sẽ lập tức làm 4 việc này:
Thiết kế nhanh chóng: Thiết kế sản phẩm mới theo quy cách, chất lượng phù hợp với thương hiệu. Không được đẩy lùi quá lâu, không làm ảnh hưởng tới quá trình sản xuất.
Huy động vốn nhanh: Sau khi hoàn thành thiết kế, họ sẽ huy động vốn càng sớm càng tốt. Đây không phải là một việc dễ dàng, vì thế phải chuẩn bị số tiền cần thiết và xác định các kênh huy động, không được bỏ lỡ cơ hội.
Sản xuất nhanh chóng: Một khi đã đáp ứng được điều kiện sản xuất kinh doanh, hãy sản xuất sản phẩm với tốc độ nhanh nhất có thể. Bên cạnh đó, ta phải đảm bảo chất lượng và hoàn thiện mọi thủ tục.
Bán hàng nhanh: Khi sản phẩm đã được hoàn thiện, cần bán chúng ngay khi thị trường còn đang nóng.
Bên cạnh đó, các nhà kinh doanh Do Thái cũng cho rằng, đôi khi chỉ thông tin hay ý tưởng vẫn chưa đủ. Ta cần có những biện pháp thiết thực và nhanh chóng để biến thông tin thành tiền bạc và ước mơ thành hiện thực.
Thứ gọi là cơ hội chỉ xuất hiện trong giây lát, mang tính ngẫu nhiên và thường là thoáng qua. Người tinh anh nắm được cơ hội này, người đó sẽ biết cách tận dụng và phát huy nó. Người Do Thái có câu nói đầy thâm thúy rằng: "Thời gian tốt nhất để trồng cây là vào 20 năm trước. Thời gian tốt thứ hai là ngay bây giờ." Nhanh một bước là trời rộng sông dài, chậm nửa bước là vực cao sâu thẳm.

Allen Iverson scored 37 points in his MVP Season vs. Orlando Magic
One of the most controversial Basketball players of all time, Allen Iverson is one of the most loved and hated figures in Basketball. Born Allen Ezail Iverson in Hampton, Virginia, he grew up very poor to a struggling mother and a father who deserted him. Growing up, he was very athletic, playing football and basketball throughout most of his education prior to college. Iverson began focusing on basketball at his mother's insistence, despite wanting to be a football player. He proved to be a talented basketball player. At Bethel High School in Newport News, he began his high school basketball career. He developed a reputation of talking a lot and being uncoachable. To say he had a rough childhood is quite an understatement. On one of his places of residence, he walked through knee-deep sewage daily. During one summer, he witnessed the death of almost ten of his closest friends. Iverson first came to the national spotlight in 1993 in a controversial incident surrounding violent events at a bowling alley in Newport News. While the events that happened there will never be fully known, the generally accepted story is that some white students got into an argument with Iverson and his friends. The first question surrounding the event is whether he started it or if the white kids started it. Also, the question surrounded whether or not he assaulted a white woman by hitting her over the head with a chair. The prosecution insisted that surveillance tapes undoubtedly showed Iverson was the culprit, but in reality the tapes showed nothing conclusive. Two factors did him in at his hearing; first of all, two white people said they saw him assault the girl. Secondly, the judge was from the very conservative southeast Virginia establishment and did not have any sympathy for Iverson, his background or his talent. Seeing that Iverson requested a bench trial, this was crucial to his case. To add fuel to the fire, Allen Iverson flew in for the weekend from a tournament to be in Virginia for his trial. This played into the prosecution's hands and also upset the judge, both of whom saw this as evidence that Iverson did not respect the law. He was sentenced to a 5 -year jail term. This case sparked a tremendous amount of national attention. The case caught the interest of Bill Cosby and Spike Lee, who would be a fan and advocate of Iverson for many years. People all around the Newport News area started a movement to free Allen Iverson. He spent only four months in jail. Governor Douglas Wilder pardoned him. This move all but ended his political career and sparked another controversy. Wilder was also black, and white voters in Virginia viewed this move in a very racist light. Iverson was viewed now in much of white America as essentially a convicted felon who was out of prison only because a black man was governor of his state. Iverson got out conditionally, however. He had to adhere to a curfew and could not play basketball until he got his high school diploma. He could not accept a scholarship to the University of Kentucky but did get a scholarship once he completed his high school education in a learning center. During this time, he received his nickname, the answer. He was called such because his friends said he was the answer to basketball's conformity so to speak, people that conformed to this family friendly image, such as Charles Barkley, Isiah Thomas and most importantly, Michael Jordan, who was a childhood hero of his. He accepted a scholarship to Georgetown where John Thompson coached him. Thompson became somewhat of a father figure to him, but he was hard to manage, and the two had a workable but very turbulent relationship. Iverson completed only two years of his education where he became the top NBA draft pick in 1996. He was drafted by the ailing Philadelphia 76ers in 1996. Iverson is immersed in hip-hop culture. This made him an incredibly controversial figure in basketball. His clothing looked more like a gangster rappers than it did Michael Jordan's. On the court he seemed to embody the gangster rapper's image. He had an arm covering on one arm when he played, and also was one of the first players to have cornrows; a hairstyle up until that time was popular in prison. To make matters worse, he had an incredibly "in your face" style, which did not sit well with older players like Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and others. Jordan said of him when Jordan's Bulls played Iverson's 76ers, that he had no respect for the game. Despite this, no one denied Iverson's talent. He could hustle the ball, could get around even the tallest players. He became known for his fast drives to the baskets and his ability to fake the ball in a move called the crossover. Spike Lee lost respect for him when he turned down his invitation to star in the film He Got Game (1998). As a very pointed move, Lee cast former collegiate rival Ray Allen in the part. The Sixers found themselves suddenly a respectable team. They acquired a new coach, the unusual Larry Brown. As a player in the ABA almost twenty years ago, Brown was also a young outsider fighting the system. Larry Brown now was a button-down-suit-and-tie coach. The two did not get along well at first; in fact, their relationship at best was serviceable. Brown was always unhappy with Iverson for not showing up to practice. Iverson insisted his game was pure inspiration, and he had little need for practice. The two rarely saw eye to eye. He received a tremendous number of awards in his short career. He was named rookie of the year in 1997, and on more than one occasion, he was an All NBA First Team, NBA All Star, was an All Star MVP, and received perhaps what was his crowning achievement to date when he was NBA MVP in 2001. That year, Iverson led his team to the NBA finals, but had a rough ride against Kobe Bryant and 'Shaquille ONeal's Lakers. They lost the championship in game five of the series. It was still quite an achievement because the Sixers had not been to the finals since Dr. J (Julius Erving) and Moses Malone led them to victory over the Lakers in 1983 in a 4-0 sweep. Iverson has over 20 tattoos. Each tattoo is a symbol of his life. One denotes the name of his group of friends he has known since childhood, Cru Thik, another who says the answer, another who is dedicated to his mom who is a strong presence as Sixers games, and many others. He married his high school sweetheart Tawanna Turner and they have two children.
