The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Chapter 606 Too difficult

After the annual meeting, Chen Pingsheng made a special trip to see the Jinshan super villa that he had built at a cost of 4 billion yuan.

The overall project is now complete; all that remains are some details.

It should be ready for occupancy around April this year. That's the advantage of having money; if you have enough money, there's no chance of the project being abandoned.

They can build it for you quickly.

He quite enjoys fishing, and even threw over two million different kinds of wild fish into that lake.

That way, even if his fishing skills are terrible, he should be able to catch something.

Chen Pingsheng thought to himself silently.

There are still many things to do after the New Year. In addition to the group's annual meeting, the Tengying Six-Star Hotel, which he invested 2 billion yuan to build, is also nearing completion.

Tengying Management College will be able to officially recruit employees from the public in June or September of this year.

Because it's a business school, none of the teachers are just theorists.

Instead, the positions are filled by senior executives from Tencent Pictures, as well as some renowned professors who also serve as consultants for the company.

Anyone without much practical experience will try to talk to you about business operations and management.

They all like to talk about things in a seemingly plausible but ultimately meaningless way, spouting a bunch of grand theories.

They also like to quote classical Chinese texts like "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao" at the drop of a hat.

To put it bluntly, these people don't even understand it themselves; they're just sharing hearsay and summaries of things they've gathered from various sources.

Those who truly understand business management will share their experience, examples of failures, and lessons learned.

Bland.

What others spout in a basket of nonsense can be explained clearly to you in just a few words by someone with real ability.

Countless self-help gurus or business mentors have sprung up online.

These people constantly use flashy but impractical things to gain traffic, thereby earning high tuition fees.

Commonly known as harvesting leeks.

There are people like this in every industry, who just use their words to fool ordinary people.

Chen Pingsheng disliked people who talked big but were actually quite boastful. They would insist on rambling on about philosophy, Taoism, Buddhism, and the philosophy of mind when it was something that was actually very simple.

They learned this and that.

It's like investing in stocks; you analyze this and that, but what's the point of analyzing?

Go and see which national policies the government supports, and that's where you should invest your money.

After identifying an industry, then look at what kind of person the company's president, or founder, is.

You'll then have a general idea of ​​whether this company is worth holding long-term.

Why did he sell his future shares? It's because the boss clearly came from the internet industry. Not only does he not understand technology, but he also claims to have this and that.

If you have something that a company with a market value of 1600 billion US dollars doesn't have, how could you not even be a fraction of it?

Anyone who has no respect for the technology field and focuses only on marketing instead of technology is a bad example.

Short-term holding is fine, but long-term holding is definitely not advisable.

Chen Pingsheng also determined the core educational values ​​of Tengying Management College based on this spirit of seeking truth from facts.

To put it bluntly, we need to talk about something truly useful; people have lost all interest in empty talk and nonsense these days.

years later.

Chen Yao's eldest daughter, Xiao Ya, will be going to Shenzhen for her second semester of university.

She had excellent grades and studied very hard.

Chen Pingsheng even bought her a small apartment in Tiandiwan No. 1 in Shenzhen as a gift.

Although it's called a small house, it's actually about 260 square meters, and the current price per square meter there is 200,000 yuan.

This one luxuriously decorated small house cost nearly 50 million yuan in cash.

Xiao Ya has a clear goal for the future: she must take the civil service exam.

The civil service exam is extremely competitive now, a classic example of fierce competition where thousands of people try to cross a single-plank bridge.

Chen Pingsheng only needed her to pass this hurdle first, and then he would bring her to Shanghai. Just like ordinary job applicants, most people are assigned by the company, and where they go is entirely up to the company's human resources department.

Xiao Ya definitely wouldn't, as long as she passes the civil service exam.

Chen Pingsheng will definitely use his resources to send her to the most promising department.

For example, the Organization Department and the General Office of the CPC Central Committee are core departments that can quickly get close to the leaders.

Anyone who spends a few years in these departments will have a smooth career path when they are transferred to other places.

Of course, this is on the premise that the resources above you haven't collapsed.

For Xiao Ya, it meant he hadn't fallen.

If he didn't pour resources into making a name for himself in that kind of place, a girl like Xiao Ya from an ordinary background would never have a chance to succeed.

Unlike shopping malls, that place requires at least three generations of effort to truly make an impact.

After all, the entrepreneurial period of the 1940s has passed.

Now, all we can do is take things one step at a time. Before Xiao Ya's internship position is confirmed, Chen Pingsheng will definitely prepare everything for her in Shanghai.

I promise I won't let her be tempted by any material things.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will be the first member of her family to take the civil service exam.

Fortunately, Xiao Ya is still young and has a good temperament, so there is a lot of room for her to grow.

For the first few decades, she needed Chen Pingsheng to continuously invest resources in her, and later, after she rose to prominence, she would once again support members of the Chen family to enter the workforce.

And then generation after generation strives towards that goal.

She's not the only one; Xiao Le is also in her final semester of high school this year, so getting into university shouldn't be a problem for her.

His future goal is also to take the civil service exam. While Chen Pingsheng still has the ability, he is determined to send a few people to the exam.

Unfortunately, apart from the two of them, the family had no other promising talents to cultivate.

Most of them can't even pass the basic hurdle of the civil service exam.

He's like someone who's built a rainbow bridge, but you don't even have the right to step onto it.

Chen Pingsheng could only sigh helplessly; he couldn't force you to move forward.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xiao Ya and Xiao Le will both be transferred to Jinshan in the future.

Given the vast amount of money and abundant resources he's invested in Kingsoft, all he needs to do is offer these two sisters a little support.

The future will not be bad.

Furthermore, Shanghai has a higher staffing level than other places, so starting a business here will be very beneficial for the future.

The closer you get to their level, the more you'll discover the hardships faced by ordinary people.

For ordinary people taking the civil service exam, getting in is like leaving it to fate.

With Xiao Ya and the others coming in, everything will be the best arrangement.

Just like some rich kids entering the entertainment industry, every step is carefully planned.

For Chen Pingsheng, however, the entertainment industry held no appeal whatsoever.

If his family members were to constantly enter the entertainment industry, it would signify a decline in their family fortunes.

My sister-in-law, Song Wu, can't explain it; she just really enjoys this.

Other direct descendants are strictly prohibited from doing so.

It is impossible to rise from a wealthy family to a noble family or even an aristocratic family without the efforts of several generations.

Most of Chen Pingsheng's relatives from that generation had mediocre academic performance and had not received a good education since childhood.

If you send them to be officials, they'll sound like they have no substance whatsoever.

The people there are absolutely a gathering of talents, which is something that no private enterprise or talent pool can compare to.

To advance, resources and capabilities are both indispensable.

Without a doubt, resources take precedence over capabilities.
