温州人走街串巷卖东西的时候，其他地方的人都还在做梦呢！别人不屑做的小生意，温州人就捡来做。别人还在打铁饭碗的主意，温州人就动起了下海的脑筋。要我说，温州人跟犹太人绝对有的一拼。

When Wenzhounese are out and about selling their things, people from other places are still dreaming! The petty trade that other people disdain, Wenzhounese are more than willing to do. Everyone else is still stuck on the idea of the 'iron rice bowl', yet Wenzhounese are out there using their brains and going into business. I'd say Wenzhounese are definitely right up there with the Jews.
