The Minnan business community advocates "putting business first." A Minnan song titled "Love to Win" showcases the essence of Minnan entrepreneurs—"striving" and "winning." Due to their historical migration overseas for business and settlement in Southeast Asia, Minnan entrepreneurs have leveraged their "overseas Chinese" identity to become a distinctive feature of their business acumen. Modern Minnan entrepreneurs have shifted from exporting goods to capital export, with the rise of the four "hundred-billion industry cities" laying a solid foundation for Fujian's transformation into an international economic zone. Minnan entrepreneurs "love to win," striving with flexibility, innovation, and boldness, achieving grandeur, fulfillment, and a win-win outcome. They are also daring, hardworking, resilient, pragmatic, and adept at observing changes, breaking through challenges, and transitioning from politics to business. Minnan entrepreneurs do not hoard wealth; they embrace entrepreneurship, and being a leader is not enough to be considered a true Minnan man. As a result, they have established more distinctive and adaptable business and management models.
The Minnan business community's "putting business first" has created a unique "Minnan Model," characterized by: Minnan people loving, daring, and excelling in business. The Minnan entrepreneurs' boldness in pioneering and their rationality in observing changes perfectly combine their traits with entrepreneurial platforms, creating a realistic synergy. Another feature of the "Minnan Model" is that since the reform and opening-up, with the global resurgence and development of overseas Chinese hometown economies, the passion of overseas Chinese for their homeland and their desire to contribute has significantly strengthened their cultural ties to their roots. Minnan entrepreneurs skillfully leverage this advantage, internally attracting and externally connecting, overcoming obstacles, and achieving rapid success with low costs. Many local Minnan entrepreneurs, with the strong support and cooperation of overseas Minnan business communities, have completed a series of "prescribed" actions—including capital accumulation—in a short time, rapidly rising in both domestic and international markets to become new stars in China's business world.
However, with the emergence of diversified, integrated, and industrialized business models, the key to winning in the next round of competition lies in enhancing a company's self-reliant innovation and financing advantages. Capital operations, as a vital way for corporate capital growth and efficient allocation of social resources, offer advantages such as increasing capital, reducing market entry and exit costs, and improving resource allocation efficiency. It also reflects the new characteristics of contemporary international competition and the new trends in business development.
Therefore, Minnan enterprises, while maintaining their traditional strengths, flexibly engage in capital operations through methods such as listing, low-cost expansion, and restructuring and mergers, with strong enterprises as the core to optimize limited social resources. Under the principle of "win-win," they drive the growth and expansion of their businesses.
