Training the Heavens

Chapter 139 The most valuable thing in the new century is talent
This job is just a transition for Gao Jialin. He does not intend to compete with his colleagues at the unit. But sometimes if you don't fight, others will think you are easy to bully and they will come to cause trouble for you.

Gao Jialin didn't want to be misunderstood by others, so he still asked for the things he should ask for, but he didn't choose the good ones. This showed that he knew his limits. Those who should understand will naturally understand, and those who don't understand and know nothing will not be able to get along well. If they really provoke him, he will just fight back.

After completing the procedures and officially starting work, Gao Jialin did not go out of town for more than a month. He came to the branch every day to greet everyone, walked around each office and chatted with them. After get off work, he would invite a few colleagues who he had a good chat with to have dinner together.

At noon, I take a nap in the dormitory behind the office. Nowadays, many units have this layout, with the office in front and home in the back, which saves the effort of running back and forth from home to the unit.

At night, he would go back to Tai'an Road to sleep. It was only one and a half kilometers away from his workplace, and it would take only a few minutes to ride a bike. It was really a good deal for Gao Jialin to buy this house. It was convenient for him to go anywhere.

Sometimes Chen Hong would come over at night, but she couldn't stay overnight. She would go back to the dormitory after a while. With Gailili helping to cover for them, the other students thought they were going shopping.

Gao Jialin also thought about bringing his parents to live in Shanghai. After all, he had many houses, and arranging them somewhere else would not affect his life. When he returned home before graduation, he talked about this with Gao Yude and Gao Yangshi, and brought them to Shanghai.

At first they were quite happy, but after living in Shanghai for only a few days they started clamoring to go back. They had lived in the rural areas of northern Shaanxi all their lives, and once the novelty of coming to the big city wore off, they began to miss their hometown. They couldn't get used to the food, couldn't understand their neighbors' speech, and felt really annoyed to be there.

Gao Jialin had no choice but to send them back to their hometown. When they arrived in Kuanzhou County, before even entering the village, they had already gotten rid of the depression they felt in Shanghai and were grinning from ear to ear. People who are a little older still prefer to stay in a familiar environment.

In view of this, Gao Jialin did not force them. He bought some more things for the family and gave the extra land at home to others to cultivate. He only left more than one acre of land in front of the house for them to grow some vegetables for daily consumption. He could not leave nothing at all. Both of them could not sit idle and always had to have something to do to feel happy.

Nowadays, more and more fellow villagers follow Gao Jialin to Shanghai to make a living. Most of them have built new kilns, and their family living conditions have improved a lot. They no longer have to worry about money for their children's education.

These people knew where their good life came from, so they repeatedly told their family members who stayed in the village to help take care of Gao Yude and Gao Yang. Whenever there was something happening, the villagers would rush to help, so Gao Jialin basically didn't have to worry about anything.

Then let them continue to live in the village. They think being happy is the most important thing, and people can live longer if they are happy.

After more than a month, Gao Jialin had basically gotten to know the leaders and staff of the Shanghai branch. Only then did he pack his bags and start his first business trip after officially joining the company. This time he chose Hefei, Anhui as his destination.

After coming out of the train station, Gao Jialin went directly to Anhui TV Station and showed his Xinhua News Agency reporter's card. Immediately, a leader came out and warmly welcomed Gao Jialin in and served him tea.

After a few pleasantries, Gao Jialin explained his purpose. "I heard there's a Jiang Wanmeng at your company who took a leave of absence last year and went into business. As you know, I'm a reporter specializing in economics, and I'm very interested in this case. I wonder if I could make an introduction? I'd like to do an exclusive interview with him." The junior leader went out to discuss things, and soon returned with someone. "This is Xiao Liu. When Jiang Wanmeng was at our station, he shared an office with Xiao Liu, and we had a very good relationship. I'll have Xiao Liu take you over."

On the way, Xiao Liu introduced Jiang Wanmeng's situation to Gao Jialin. Jiang Wanmeng studied engineering in college and was assigned to a TV station as a technician after graduation. He quickly understood the equipment used by the TV station. Whenever there was a technical problem, he could solve it quickly. He was also very proud of his technical level and called himself "Sony's repairman."

A few years passed like this, and Jiang Wanmeng began to feel a little dissatisfied with his current life, thinking it was too boring. At this time, he saw an article in the newspaper saying that a professor from a university in Beijing started selling pies during the summer vacation. He wore a white hat, a white coat, a purse slung across his body, and pushed a small tricycle everywhere shouting, which triggered a huge social discussion.

Opponents believe that his actions damage the image of a high-level intellectual, while supporters believe that there is nothing wrong with him using his spare time and relying on his own hands to make money. Jiang Wanmeng belongs to the latter.

He saw that those who worked on their own in society had become richer and richer in recent years, and their lives were much more comfortable than his own. He was just embarrassed to go into business before because of his face as a college student. But now, seeing that professors were starting to sell pies, why should he, an undergraduate student, be embarrassed?
So he found his leader and pestered him to get him a leave of absence without pay. He opened a small shop with a very impressive name, called Anhui Modern Television Technology Research Institute. In fact, it was to help ordinary people repair their televisions.

When I got to the place, I saw that Jiang Wanmeng's business was quite good. Before he even got off work, someone came with a TV and asked him to repair it. Come to think of it, the popularity of TVs is getting higher and higher, and TV repair has also become a popular business. Jiang Wanmeng can even repair imported equipment from TV stations, let alone these ordinary TVs?
"Old Jiang, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency is here to interview you." Xiao Liu took Gao Jialin in and introduced them to each other. Jiang Wanmeng immediately closed the shop and took them to a nice restaurant. They went to a private room to eat and chat.

"To be honest, I've made a lot of money over the past year, but I don't feel very happy. When I was working at the TV station, I was exposed to Sony's advanced technology. Now that I open my own store, I have to deal with these outdated domestic TVs every day!"

"Sometimes I even wonder if I should go abroad to see what electronic technology is like in developed countries. But it's a pity I can't go abroad."

Gao Jialin could clearly feel that Jiang Wanmeng was not like a businessman, but more like an engineer who was passionate about technology. This might be the main reason why he could achieve breakthroughs in the future.

He recalled a classic line from a movie: "What is the most valuable thing in the 21st century? Talent!"

Gao Jialin wants to start his own business in the future, and talent is indispensable. Gao Jiawang and his people alone cannot support a large enterprise. There are also people like Jiang Wanmeng.

So he asked, "If you had the chance, would you be willing to give up such a good deal?"
