Living like a salted fish in the end times

Chapter 433 Social Entrepreneur

"Don't give me such a playful face. Although your eldest brother and second brother are both bad at studying, they are not to your level. What is the reason?"

Zhang Hao felt like his head was big.

He does not expect his children to become top academics, because he is not one himself, but at least they must have the education of an average person, not a stupid rich second generation who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

An An said with a bitter face: "Dad, it's not that I don't want to learn, it's just that the life in school is too depressing. I start early reading before o'clock in the morning, and the whole day's courses are full, until o'clock in the evening. School is over."

"Aren't all the other students coming here in the same way, why can't you do it?" Zhang Hao asked seriously.

"Dad, it's meaningless for you to say this. If it wasn't for the college entrance examination, who would want to study so hard? Anyway, no matter what, I can go to college in the end. Academic performance is not important to me at all."

An An retorted on the spot.

His eldest brother and second brother are the best examples.

"Heretics." Zhang Hao became more and more angry as he listened, and he slapped the table hard: "Is going to school just to be admitted to the university? Going to school is to learn cultural knowledge, broaden your horizons, and increase your own knowledge. No wonder you don't study hard. It turns out that you are smart .”

An An quickly defended: "Dad, I didn't say I wouldn't study? If you don't believe me, ask my mother. I'm pretty good at history and geography, and I pass every exam."

"You are seriously biased. Fortunately, there is still time to remedy it. It will be too late if it is delayed for a few years."

Zhang Hao reached out and knocked the opponent on the head.

"Dad, I..."

An An wanted to quibble again.

He really doesn't like studying, especially science, which makes people have a headache just looking at him.

Zhang Hao waved his hand and interrupted directly: "Since you don't like the teaching environment in school, then study at home. I'll tell your mother later and ask her to find you a more capable tutor."

"Dad, I have a tutor, no need..."

"The previous tutor didn't work at all. Hurry up and change it for me. It's better to change to a younger teacher. It's easier for young people to communicate with each other."

Zhang Hao said unceremoniously.

"Okay!" An Anonong replied nonchalantly.

Zhang Hao then turned his attention to his younger son: "Kangkang, your third brother has finished speaking, it's your turn."

"Dad, I am ranked eighth from the bottom in the class, and my grades are better than my third brother." Kangkang said with a proud face.

"What's there to be proud of? Isn't it an honor to be eighth from the bottom?" Zhang Hao stretched out his hand and squeezed the face of his youngest son, then looked at his third son with an unfriendly expression, "You boy, tell me honestly, did you bring your brother into trouble?" ? I clearly remember that he did very well when he was in kindergarten, why didn’t he do well as soon as he entered elementary school? "

"Dad, don't accuse me wrongly. My little brother is just playful and has nothing to do with me."

An An hurriedly pushed everything away.

Zhang Hao immediately snorted coldly, ignored the third son's answer, and turned to the younger son for confirmation:

"Kangkang, tell dad, does your third brother often take you to play with him?"

"Dad, third brother didn't take me to play."

Kangkang is quite loyal.

In other words, he was afraid that if he told the truth, the third brother would never take him to play with him again.

Hearing this, An An immediately cast an appreciative look.

"Little slippery devil." Zhang Hao laughed and scolded, "Okay, since you two brothers have chosen to share blessings and share hardships, I will also find you a tutor, and find one who is stricter and must be controlled. you."

"Dad, I'm only in the second grade..."

Kangkang had a sad face.

Zhang Hao once again put on a serious face: "Don't say that dad didn't give you a chance. As long as you two can enter the top ten in the class, it will be up to you whether the tutor will leave or stay."

"Top ten in the class? How is this possible?"

An An said in disbelief.

"Don't bargain with me, and don't ask your grandparents and grandpa for mercy. No one can change the decision made by your father and me."

Zhang Hao cut off the brothers' luck.

An An and Kangkang looked at each other, and the two brothers lowered their heads almost at the same time.

……

At the same time, Zhang Chongxin also called his second grandson Zhang Guoxuan into the room. When he came back in the morning, this kid looked very worried.

"Tell me! What's bothering you?"

"Grandpa, I..."

"In front of grandpa, what is there to avoid? To be honest, kid, do you feel that you haven't graduated from college and are afraid of becoming a father?" Zhang Chongxin guessed.

In more than three months, the fourth generation of the old Zhang family will be born, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen.

"No." Leslie Cheung shook his head quickly, "I have been mentally prepared to be a father for a long time."

"Then what are you worried about?"

Zhang Chongxin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Leslie Cheung thought for a while and tried to express his worries: "Grandpa, I just feel that compared with my elder brother, I am a bit of a failure. I don't know what to do after graduation?"

"What are you thinking about? Your life has just begun. How can you see that you have failed?"

Zhang Chongxin said unhappily.

"Brother did a great job this time. Not only did he successfully cash out more than 1000 and billion, but he also bought the Min... .

Zhang Chongxin quickly comforted him: "Silly boy, what's the comparison? Your elder brother is just a blind cat who met a dead mouse. If you want to give credit, it should be your father."

"Grandpa, don't you often tell me that luck is also a part of strength?"

"This is indeed true. Just like your grandfather and I, we have worked hard for decades, but within a year of starting a business, your father has made money that his grandfather could not make in several lifetimes. I have been as confused as you. "

Zhang Chongxin sighed and couldn't help but recall that time more than ten years ago.

"Then grandpa, why do you..."

Zhang Guoxuan asked curiously.

"Haha..." Zhang Chongxin smiled slightly, "I later figured it out on my own. Without the foundation laid by my grandfather, no matter how talented your dad is, it will be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Do you think this is the truth?"

"Grandpa, this is different. You and my dad have a father-son relationship. Although my eldest brother and I have a good relationship, in business..."

Zhang Guoxuan shook his head helplessly.

Zhang Chongxin stood up on crutches, reached out and patted his second grandson on the shoulder: "Your eldest brother wants to be in politics and has no intention of doing business. There is no comparison between you brothers." "Oh, it's because of this that I feel extremely desperate, eldest brother, damn The money I earn from luck may be something I will never be able to achieve in my life. Grandpa, you said I...why should I bother?"

Zhang Guoxuan spread his hands.

"What a silly boy. Grandpa has been in business all his life. I want to give you a message. Is your business successful? You can't just look at how much money you make, but also your social influence.

Your eldest brother's Shuguang Company has no control at all. He is just an investor. In terms of social influence, it is far inferior to your Minde era. "

Zhang Chongxin spoke earnestly.

Leslie Cheung helped his grandfather sit down again, and then asked humbly: "Grandpa, isn't it true that a truly successful entrepreneur should have more wealth, the better?"

"Superficial. Thanks to your father, the four of you brothers, including Guoguo, each have a net worth of at least hundreds of billions. Can you spend so much money?

Since our family is not short of money, we should have higher pursuits. The reason why your father is willing to give up business and go into politics is, in the final analysis...cough cough cough..."

Zhang Guoxuan hurriedly helped Grandpa get off the gas.

Zhang Chongxin gradually stopped coughing, took a sip of water, and asked casually: "Where did I just say?"

"Grandpa, you just mentioned the reason why my father gave up business and entered politics." Leslie Cheung reminded.

"The reason why your father gave up business and entered politics is that the position was too attractive. It could leave a name in history. I think most people would not refuse it;
On the other hand, and the most important thing, he wants to improve the security level of our family by becoming a consul. After all, these days, people who have money but no power can only be slaughtered by others, and the Europas are the most typical example. "

Zhang Guoxuan was thoughtful: "Grandpa, since there is no future in business, then I will be the same as my elder brother. I will go to the official employee examination after graduation."

"No, your elder brother is enough. You should do what you like! Besides, although the status of businessmen is not as good as before, it is better to walk on two legs than on one leg." Zhang Chongxin persuaded.

"Grandpa, what do you think I should do to become a real entrepreneur?"

Leslie Cheung finally regained some confidence.

Zhang Chongxin took off his reading glasses and wiped them. While wiping the lenses, he replied: "Your grandfather, I have been in business all my life. I have some experience, and I will leave it to you today."

Zhang Guoxuan immediately sat up straight and looked like he was listening carefully.

"Your grandfather and I are not that great in business. If someone is born to be great, then he will definitely not become a big entrepreneur."

"Let's put it this way! Based on your grandfather's decades of experience, I divide entrepreneurs into three levels."

"The first level is what ordinary people imagine as a businessman. No matter how big he is, if he only cares about money and has no sense of social responsibility, or a very small sense of social responsibility, then he is destined to fail."

"On the second level, if a company has reached a certain scale, or has a sense of social responsibility, is willing to donate money, is willing to help others, and help small businesses, then this is a real entrepreneur."

"There is a higher level. At this level, you really don't know how to have a career. You don't do it for fame or money. You live entirely for society."

"Do you know what this type of entrepreneur is called?"

"I don't know." Leslie Cheung shook his head repeatedly.

Zhang Chongxin said solemnly: "They are called charity entrepreneurs, or you can also call them social entrepreneurs. Even in the current situation, social entrepreneurs are the only way out for this group of businessmen."

"Social entrepreneur? Grandpa, if I follow what you say, it would be better to hand over the business directly to the state. Wouldn't it be easier?"

Zhang Guoxuan frowned.

Zhang Chongxin waved his hand with a smile and said without further explanation: "You are still young, so you don't need to know the difference for the time being. It won't do you any good to say it. When you are your dad's age, you will understand it naturally."

"Is it so mysterious?"

Zhang Guoxuan muttered.

"You brat, will grandpa still lie to you?"

Zhang Chongxin knocked the ground hard with his crutch.

"Hey, that's not what I meant."

Zhang Guoxuan scratched his hair and then concluded:
"Grandpa, I probably understand what you mean. To put it in simpler terms, the more employees I support and the more taxes I pay, the safer our family will be. Isn't that true?"

Zhang Chongxin nodded gratifiedly: "Although it's not far away, you can think of this level, which shows that your understanding is not bad. Our old Zhang's family has no cowards. Grandpa believes that you will be able to do a great job, little pudding!"

"Grandpa, I won't let you down."

Zhang Guoxuan nodded firmly.

"Good! Good! Good! As expected of our old Zhang family." Zhang Chongxin was immediately relieved.

Having rediscovered the direction of his life, Leslie Cheung swept away his previous anxiety and confusion, and his eyes regained brilliance.

Immediately afterwards, he took the opportunity to express a bold idea that suddenly occurred to him:
"Grandpa, I want to move the Minde era to Xinfeng Island. After all, it is the territory of our old Zhang family. What do you think?"

"You kid, don't act like this. I just complimented you a few times, and you're off your feet? This is not as simple as you think. Do you know how many parts a car has?"

"I really know this. There are more than 5000 parts in total."

Zhang Guoxuan replied impatiently.

Since he chose Minde, he has learned a lot of professional knowledge about cars in the past two years. He is not a novice like his grandfather said who knows nothing.

"Since you know, you shouldn't talk nonsense. There are so many parts and such a long supply chain. It can't be moved away. Many things can affect the whole body."

Zhang Chongxin took a breath and continued:

"And how do you plan to explain it to Minde City? There are tens of thousands of employees. How will these people be arranged?"

Zhang Guoxuan blurted out: "What's so difficult about this? At worst, we can move there together!"

"Move there? How to move there? With so many families, food, family employment, children's education, medical security, etc., all are big problems."

Zhang Chongxin said unhappily.

"Is it okay to move there later?"

Zhang Guoxuan was a little unwilling.

In his heart, he has already regarded Xinfeng Island as his own territory, and he wants to contribute as much as he can, hoping that it will develop better and better.

"No." Zhang Chongxin paused, and then changed the topic: "If you insist on moving there, you can build a branch factory on the island in the future. It is unrealistic to move the entire island."

"alright, I got it."

Zhang Guoxuan nodded helplessly.

Zhang Chongxin was a little worried, and finally warned: "With your current ability, you can't manage even a small department, let alone manage the entire company.

In my opinion, you should practice honestly for a few years, no, at least ten years, or even longer, before you consider taking over from your grandfather. "
