I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 173 Jade cannot be used until it is polished
After the two sat down, Zhang Lekang praised Su Tianyan highly.

"Brother Tianyan, you should give those bastards a good beating."

"A bunch of little bastards, how dare you challenge us?"

"Come, come, let me toast you first."

Celebration wine.

Welcoming wine.

Zhang Lekang toasted Su Tianyan several times in a row.

Zhang Lekang's awe for Su Tianyan comes from the heart.

The Zhang family has been running the business for three generations, starting with Zhang Lekang's grandfather, and has built a very good economic and network foundation for him in Shanghai.

This enabled Zhang Lekang to seize several opportunities and take several big steps forward.

And what about Su Tianyan?
This guy started from scratch. He was a poor guy with nothing, but he built the Dihao Group, which is now rich enough to rival a country.

The Qin Dynasty was able to achieve great unification after several generations of hard work, which laid a good foundation for Qin Shi Huang. The country was strong and only needed a powerful leader to achieve the ultimate goal!
But Su Tianyan's experience is even more magical than novels. He accomplished what took six generations and two hundred years in just over twenty years.

Of course Zhang Lekang understood.

The reason why Su Tianyan can hold the position of big brother in the circle is not because of his Dihao Group, but that is only part of the reason.

What really makes everyone in awe is Brother Tianyan’s legendary experience, which is his truly valuable wealth.

As long as they dig out a little bit, it will be enough for them to study for several years.

Therefore, veteran entrepreneurs and technology upstarts in the circle all like to make friends with Su Tianyan. Everyone treats him as a guest of honor, and regardless of age, they all respectfully call him "Big Brother."

Su Tianyan is worthy of the title of "big brother".

He is only in his forties and not yet fifty, which is the time when a man's ability, experience and understanding of business are at their peak.

In particular, the unique personal charm that emanates from top to bottom is enough to conquer everyone.

Although Su Tianyan admitted it, he still said modestly: "I can't do it anymore. I can clearly feel that my body is starting to decline."

"Brother Tianyan, look at what you said."

"If you were in North American politics at your age, you would only be considered a 'young talent'."

The two drank more and more, and the topics they talked about became more and more diverse, and soon they talked about children.

"Hey Le Kang, the way you teach your children is fundamentally wrong."

"Let me tell you, my son and I have never lived the kind of wealthy life your family has."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Lekang nodded repeatedly, "Brother Tianyan, I also feel that I have spoiled the child."

"It's mainly because I have so many relatives and friends that I can't hide it even if I want to, you know."

Since childhood, Zhang Lekang has imagined his family as a middle-class Shanghainese, with a medium-sized company at home and a stable annual income of one or two hundred yuan.

This was his best effort in pretending to be poor, for fear of raising a second-generation rich kid.

The results of it?
I really didn't become a second-generation rich person.

But it doesn't make sense.

After studying abroad for a few years, he is still like a fool, playing all day long.

He would either climb a mountain, swim at the beach, or lock himself in the house to play with his toys.

He just doesn't understand.

You are already a grown-up, but you still play with toys that only children of this age play with.

When Zhang Lekang said this, he sighed and took a sip of wine.

He was very envious of Su Tianyan's son.

Su Cheng has only been out of college for a year or two, but in his twenties he is already able to independently handle cases for small and medium-sized enterprises. In his group company, he would be a vice president.

"Brother Tianyan, if I had known earlier, I should have learned from you, been a little more ruthless, and pretended to be penniless."

When Su Tianyan heard that his teaching methods were affirmed, he felt great praise in his heart.

"Le Kang."

"It is absolutely wrong to feel sorry for your child."

"This is one of the few mistakes you've made in your business career."

Zhang Lekang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."

"Have you not heard that jade cannot be made into a useful tool without being carved?" and "iron cannot be made into steel without being tempered."

“No one can become a talent without hard work.”

“Growth is fastest in times of adversity.”

“The collection of pain they’ve experienced throughout their lives is their most valuable asset.”

"Heaven will confer great responsibilities on this person."

"One must first harden his mind."

"Work your muscles and bones."

"Starve their bodies."

"Empty body."

"It's a mess."

"So I'm moved and patient."

"To increase what one cannot do."

Only by experiencing inner hardship, mental fatigue, physical hunger and poverty can one possess strong willpower.

Zhang Lekang regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

He now wishes he could immediately invest in a team of experts to develop a time machine so that he can go back twenty years.

If Zhang Lekang were given the chance to choose again, he would definitely not adopt such a gentle educational method.

Being silly and happy all day long.

In the tide of the times, such people will be eliminated sooner or later.

Especially in the rapidly developing modern times.

Only people and companies like Su Tianyan, Su Cheng, and Dihao Group who possess wolf-like nature and resilience can survive, go against the current, and stand at the top of the world!
"Brother Tianyan, I've read your book 'Wolf Nature' many times and gained a lot from it!"

"Have you come up with any new book ideas lately? Could you please let me take a look at your manuscript?"

"No, only a few short fragments I wrote when I had some free time. I haven't had time for that yet."

Su Tianyan’s main focus now is to train his successor.

All his abilities are what smart people like Zhang Lekang dream of.

But now he was pouring questions into his son's head in a slightly forceful way.

Su Tianyan sometimes wondered... If that brat knew about the succession plan, would he hate him?
It should...be, right?
But it doesn't matter if the brat really hates me.

Just hate it.

It does not matter.

Su Tianyan still hated Su Cheng's grandfather. Why didn't he teach him the real wisdom, but only taught him to be an honest person, not to do bad things, and not to go astray.

Other than that, I didn't teach him anything.

Su Tianyan really wanted to play the role of a son in the succession plan, but he didn't even have such a father.

Just be happy in secret, little brat.

Zhang Lekang was very envious of Su Tianyan's son's success: "Brother Tianyan, if you think I'm a good person, you can ask Xiaocheng to recognize me as his godfather!"

Su Tianyan's expression changed immediately.

Zhang Lekang saw that the atmosphere was a little off, and immediately smiled and poured wine for Su Tianyan: "Brother Tianyan, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Su Tianyan was disdainful in his heart.

Zhang Lekang is indeed a pretty good person.

But forget about the godfather. Su Tianyan doesn't like the whole godfather, godmother, and brotherhood thing.

What's the matter with the son that I raised with great effort calling someone else "Dad"?

Even a godfather is not allowed.

He worked hard every day to water and fertilize a tree, and you come to pick peaches.

Are you making trouble with me?
