After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 627 The First Step for an Ordinary Person to Become Stronger

Zhou Haoran could tell that Jiang Feibiao had an excited look on his face.

That's a bit strange.

Could it be that this kid really has such strong patriotism and high expectations for the development of the domestic semiconductor industry?
The two did not rush back to their booth.

Jiang Feibiao pulled him to the side of the dance hall, towards the restrooms, where it was quieter and easier to talk.

"I heard that there are some disagreements between the school and the local government regarding this joint venture?"

"It's normal to have disagreements."

"I heard you were the one mediating?"

Jiang Feibiao's eyes lit up.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "After all, I was the one who made the connections, so I have some influence on both sides."

"Of course!" Jiang Feibiao agreed, "You're a world-class scientist. Others might not know, but I do. Besides, you're a top-notch boss, the best businessman in the world!"

"Don't dare take it!"

Zhou Haoran felt that he was exaggerating a bit.

"You're the senior official; everyone will trust you if you step forward!"

Jiang Feibiao, contrary to his usual behavior, was very serious and kept flattering him.

Zhou Haoran couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so concerned about this?"

Jiang Feibiao didn't respond, but whispered, "I have something to tell you, it's a secret!"

"Ah."

"When you make arrangements for this joint venture, you must give the position of the largest shareholder to the local platform, namely... the Harbor Commercial Investment Group, which is an investment platform under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."

"That's what I suggested."

Zhou Haoran smiled; this was in line with his principles.

He knew what it meant.

The largest shareholder, the second largest shareholder...

The difference here is not about who has more or less shares, or who has more or less profit.

It's the route, not the destination.

Whoever is the largest shareholder, we have to follow their lead!
If a local platform is the largest shareholder, then appointing a general manager and pursuing a market-oriented trading approach could potentially make a significant contribution to the local economy.

If the school is the largest shareholder, it will have more say and may appoint a vice-principal to take charge.

The purpose of a school is scientific research, not making money.

This will lead to the company's core philosophy being scientific research in the future.

Just like Peking University Founder Group.

Peking University is the largest shareholder, giving it absolute control over the company and allowing it to dictate Founder's strategic direction.

This matter is very important.

Because Zhou Haoran was prescient, he didn't need to change anything; he could simply guide the way according to the direction of the previous life.

Currently, the most well-known university-affiliated enterprises in China are Peking University Founder Group and Tsinghua University Tongfang, both of which are led by the universities... In a few years, they will all be finished, with debts of trillions of yuan and profits of only a few billion yuan. Their leverage ratio is even higher and more dangerous than Evergrande's, relying entirely on subsidies and policy support. Once subsidies weaken and the practice of using loans to repay other loans is restricted, they will successively enter the process of bankruptcy liquidation.

Who will ultimately uphold the "school-enterprise" brand?

It was none other than Fudan Microelectronics!
This company, a joint venture between Fudan High Technology Corporation and Haigang Commercial Investment Group, has a local government as its largest shareholder and follows a market-oriented approach.

This has resulted in Fudan Microelectronics having relatively weak technological capabilities, and it mainly focuses on the low-to-mid-end semiconductor business, primarily in the area of ​​smart cards.

However, it adapted to the market very well.

Live a fulfilling and enjoyable life.

While many other once-prominent university-affiliated enterprises went bankrupt, Fudan Microelectronics took up the last mantle of university-affiliated enterprises.

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "Don't be fooled by the current glamorous appearances of companies like Peking University Founder Group and Tsinghua Tongfang. In my eyes, they're nothing but mud. Now that I've participated, this joint venture will become a model for university-affiliated enterprises in China and carry the banner of university-affiliated enterprises!"

"I knew it! You're the kind of guy who's going to do big things!" Jiang Feibiao slapped his thigh, very excited, and lowered his voice, "Let me tell you the truth, as long as the local platform can become the largest shareholder, then this transportation card project may not even need to go through the bidding process."

"Oh?"

Zhou Haoran clearly understood what the other party meant.

"Science and technology are the foundation of national prosperity; this is a national policy, and the port must resolutely implement and fully carry it out. It's just that there hasn't been a suitable opportunity before. If you can create such an opportunity for the port, then..." Jiang Feibiao chuckled and patted him on the arm, "In the future, the port's business landscape, at least in all technology-related fields, will benefit from this suggestion!"

He gave a thumbs up.

Significance.

This is not surprising.

Scientific research and the market are inherently contradictory.

Many companies have experienced internal conflicts due to their inability to balance the relationship between the two. This is not only the case in China, with examples such as Lenovo and Founder, but also in the split between the founders of Apple and Microsoft, which was also due to this factor.

Scientists don't understand the market.

Those who understand the market don't respect technology.

It's difficult to reconcile them.

Even Steve Jobs made huge mistakes in this regard, and only a handful of people in the world, such as Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, and Elon Musk, have been able to strike a balance between the two.

Who are there in China?

At least in the harbor area, both the school and the local community have placed their hopes on Mr. Da.

……

"How about it?"

When Dong Lan saw Jia Qingwen return with her seductive eyes, he basically guessed what had happened.

"Ah."

Jia Qingwen lowered her eyes, somewhat embarrassed to look at her.

"You've got it?"

Dong Lan winked and teased her on purpose. "Mmm."

Jia Qingwen bit her lip and nodded.

"Where were they moved?"

Dong Lan pressed for an answer.

Jia Qingwen pointed to her chest, then picked up the bottled water on the table, took a couple of sips, and for some reason felt thirsty.

Dong Lan frowned slightly. "What's in your pants?"

"No."

Jia Qingwen gently shook her head.

Dong Lan said, "That won't work either. When Zhou Tai comes later, you can go dance with him and let him check it out."

"what to check for?"

Jia Qingwen did not understand what she meant.

Dong Lan rolled her eyes at her, "You've been divorced for three years, and you haven't touched a man in those three years? Who would believe that?"

"Huh?" Jia Qingwen's eyes widened, her expression changing slightly. "What do you mean? You're with me every day, don't you know whether I'm that kind of person or not? Can't you see who I'm dating?"

Dong Lan quickly said, "Oh dear, of course I know! You've been focused on taking care of the child for the past three years and haven't had any interest in this at all. But Zhou Tai doesn't know! When women reach our age, it's when they crave a man's affection the most. You haven't had any of that for several years. Nobody would believe it if I told them."

"Ah."

"Have Zhou Tai check it out."

How do we check this?

Jia Qingwen was somewhat confused.

“Well…” Dong Lan smiled and leaned closer, saying with amusement, “An experienced farmer can tell at a glance whether a piece of land has been abandoned for several years or cultivated year after year. He can be even more certain by grabbing a handful of soil and feeling it.”

"You!" Jia Qingwen's face flushed red. "Dong Lan, what's wrong with you now?"

"What's wrong with me?"

Dong Lan didn't take it seriously.

Jia Qingwen hesitated for a moment, but considering that this was her best friend, she still said bluntly, "I feel like you have no sense of shame."

"Hey!"

Dong Lan sighed.

Jia Qingwen thought she was angry, so she quickly said, "Sister Lan, I was just joking."

Dong Lan shook her head, her expression calm, and said, "I'm not joking, you're right, I really have no sense of shame. To be precise, I completely abandoned my sense of shame here with Zhou Tai. If you can't do that, I advise you not to take this step, because you can't accept it. Can you kneel down in front of Zhou Tai to express your submission?"

“I…” Jia Qingwen had heard her say this before, her tone resolute, “As long as I can provide my daughter with a comfortable life, I’m willing to do anything.”

Dong Lan hummed in agreement. "The first step for ordinary people to become stronger is to let go of their sense of shame. I remember the old station director once said, 'Only by not being afraid to blush can you have a bright face.' I didn't understand it at the time. Only after following Zhou Tai did I truly understand the meaning behind this. Self-awareness is the shackle of self-indulgence for ordinary people."

Jia Qingwen silently pondered her words.

Many things you can't understand until you experience them.

Only by facing or experiencing it can one truly understand.

Dong Lan said, "Only by downplaying self-awareness and allowing oneself to be imperfect can we complete the moral loosening formed over thousands of years. Shame is the mindset of the weak; only by being thick-skinned can one discover upward mobility. Zhou Tai once said that only when one's social status is high and one has money and power will one find that the higher up in society, the more depraved one becomes. Now that I am a leader, especially after visiting the Hong Kong government several times and meeting many of the wealthy people there, I am gradually beginning to feel this way as well."

Jia Qingwen hasn't experienced that level of sophistication yet, so she doesn't have much of a feeling about it, but she's very determined. "Anyway, if you can do it, I can do it too. I... I just talked to Zhou Tai and asked him to take some nude photos for me as a keepsake."

"Oh?" Dong Lan's eyes lit up. "Zhou Tai agreed?"

"Ah."

Jia Qingwen pursed her lips tightly.

Dong Lan smiled and said, "Congratulations! You've taken the first step! Congratulations!"

After saying that, he picked up his wine glass.

Jia Qingwen also picked up a cocktail, clinked glasses with her, and said sincerely, "Sister Lan, thank you for this. Regardless of whether Zhou Tai takes a liking to me in the end, I still want to thank you."

"Don't worry, Zhou Tai will agree!"

Dong Lan was very confident.

Having spent so much time together, she knew what kind of vibe Zhou Tai liked.

"really?"

Jia Qingwen's eyes sparkled.

Dong Lan smirked and said smugly, "He's just a man. With our charm, how could we not win him over?"

"Stop bragging. What kind of woman hasn't Zhou Tai seen?"

Jia Qingwen rolled her eyes at her.

Dong Lan whispered, "Don't worry, just do as I say and be generous. Since we've come this far, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Winning Zhou Tai's favor is the most important thing."

"Ah."

Jia Qingwen agreed with her statement and also felt that she should find a way to overcome the shame that was binding her.

A sense of morality is very important.

But in Zhoutai, there's no need for it to exist.

Dong Lan suggested, "Why hasn't Zhou Tai returned yet? When he comes back, you can ask him to dance again and also ask him to check you out."

"How should I put it?"

Jia Qingwen was a little embarrassed.

Dong Lan said angrily, "Just say it! Ask him to check your body. Did I just tell you for nothing? I've given you the chance, and if you don't take the initiative, don't blame me for not teaching you properly!"

"it is good."

Jia Qingwen took a deep breath.

Having come this far, it's time to go all out. Just consider it all for my daughter... When she grows up and becomes sensible, she'll probably be able to forgive herself, right?
