Amongst other things, Wenzhou is famous for its entrepreneurs, speculators, and its underground banking system. I once had a landlord from Wenzhou, he was quite the shark, heh-heh. I've found Wenzhou people don't spend a lot of time on chit-chat and shmoozing, they just want to get down to business quickly.
