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

Chapter 183 My son is awesome!

Jingzhou.

A detached villa.

“Brother Tianyan, the tone you used just now is completely different from your usual tone. It really is similar.”

Zhang Lekang listened to the conversation between Su Tianyan and Su Cheng.

There was something a little strange about Su Tianyan's tone when he was on the phone, as if the person standing in front of him was not the leader of the powerful Dihao Group, but rather a decorator father in a small county in Yuzhou who did some bizarre things to save electricity.

Generally speaking, those who have been in a superior position for a long time have an aura of majesty developed over time that cannot be concealed.

But Su Tianyan portrayed the role of a stingy father vividly.

Su Tianyan didn't say much.

This is not because of how good his acting is.

Su Tianyan came from a low-income family and knew exactly how to play this role.

All you have to do is imitate Su Cheng's grandfather.

Bai Zihua quickly sent over two reports.

One is the work report on Tang Li’s second case written by Su Cheng himself.

The other one is a summary of the cases that Bai Zihua asked people to investigate.

"Zihua, go make a copy for Mr. Zhang and let him take a look."

"it is good."

Su Tianyan and Zhang Lekang took the two reports and read them crosswise.

They first read the details of the Tang Li Coffee Shop case, and then read the report written by Su Cheng.

Both of them are outstanding business geniuses, and with their brains they can make great advances in business wars.

Zhang Lekang may be slightly weaker than Su Tianyan, but he has no problem going in and out three times.

The main appeal of the second case of Tangli Coffee House is expansion.

The two business tycoons had a detailed discussion about this small cafe.

"Old Zhang, if you were to handle this case, how would you handle it?" Su Tianyan asked Zhang Lekang with interest.

"Brother Tianyan, you are teasing me. Let me think about it first."

"Hahahaha, then you think about it first."

Both Su Tianyan and Zhang Lekang were against pulling such a large lever because this action would almost certainly lead to death.

Milk and sugar are essential ingredients for coffee shops, and their prices have always been unstable, with the market fluctuating greatly.

There is no need to mention any other reasons.

Suppose the prices of these two ingredients suddenly rise and remain so for a long time, how should the cafe operate?
The money in the account is not enough and additional loans are needed.

"I like Xiao Cheng's dynamic menu. It's very good, very nice."

Zhang Lekang finally gave his opinion: "If I were to handle it, I might not be able to do as well as Xiao Cheng."

Zhang Lekang likes Su Cheng very much.

He found that Su Cheng was particularly good at analyzing and solving complex problems, especially in this case, where he demonstrated strong rational analytical thinking.

This ability allows one to make decisions calmly and without any emotion.

At this moment, Su Tianyan's vanity was overflowing, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

"Uh-huh."

You're right to be envious.

Do you know how great the son I raised is?

Bai Zihua keenly captured Su Tianyan's emotional fluctuations.

He took advantage of Su Tianyan's happiness and immediately proposed to give Su Cheng a reward: "Boss Su, the young master performed very well this time, and he also discovered the so-called [Transmission Effect] through his own research."

"I think we should give some small rewards? For example...list this case as a model for the company?"

"The second case will be included in the record?"

"Yes."

Su Tianyan had never thought about giving Su Cheng any reward, but since Bai Zihua had brought it up, it seemed that there would be no problem in entering the canon.

And in front of Zhang Lekang...then just go in.

"Okay, go do it."

In the past few days, the two fathers, Su Tianyan and Zhang Lekang, have been almost staying in the villa, observing what their two children are doing.

There was actually a small episode in the process of handling the case.

That is the distrust of a relative of the store owner.

This is also the main reference condition for Zhang Lekang to judge and evaluate the thinking and emotions of the child Su Cheng.

Su Cheng's behavior was impulsive at first, but when the two of them actually sat down and engaged in a mental battle face to face, he became unusually calm.

"It's nothing, actually."

Su Tianyan could tell what kind of person Tang Ke was at a glance.

What a waste!
It's really tiring to talk so much with this kind of trash, and it's not disgusting enough.

"This person has brought out the dark side of me."

Su Tianyan commented.

"I think my son's attitude towards him was good enough. If it were me, I would probably hit this guy on the head with the coffee cup on the table the first time."

Bai Zihua: ???

Zhang Lekang: ???

So irritable?

Zhang Lekang's every move and gesture was filled with envy for Su Cheng.

It would be great if his son could be like Su Cheng.

The topic gradually shifted to Zhang Yangwen.

"Mr. Zhang, your son's performance is not very good."

Zhang Lekang has been observing his son's actions a lot these days.

He is usually very busy with work and has no time to take care of his son.

You don’t know until you see it. He was shocked when he sat behind dozens of screens and watched the surveillance!
Su Tianyan didn't need to say anything at all. Zhang Lekang was very angry when he saw some of Zhang Yangwen's behavioral habits.

Zhang Lekang still wanted to hear Su Tianyan's opinions and views, because this big brother could always see details that others could not discover.

"Brother Tianyan, please give me some advice."

Su Tianyan lit a cigar and slowly evaluated Zhang Yangwen.

"Xiao Zhang has a good personality, but he has one serious flaw: his business judgment is rubbish and vague."

"Most of the skill points are put into unimportant aspects like personality and handling of things."

Su Tianyan's words were not as harsh as last time, but it was almost the same.

You can't talk trash.

But Zhang Yangwen certainly cannot capture the details, and things will appear very blurry.

"Let me give you an inappropriate example."

"My brat's naked eye vision is 1.5, and your Xiao Zhang's vision is 0.5."

The antonym of vague is accurate.

According to Su Tianyan's standards, his successor must have a clear view of people, things and objects, and must keep a clear mind at all times.

Any decision made must be accurate.

If the assumption is vague, it will involve a lot of gambling and it will be impossible to get anything done.

But this is not Zhang Yangwen's fault. It is due to his limited talent and ability.

Zhang Yangwen has not undergone "systematic training", so it is normal that he has no ability in this area.

What Su Tianyan wanted to express was actually the "six eyes" that Su Cheng summarized himself.

Not everyone has six eyes.

"Brother Tianyan, can you explain it in more detail?"

"can."

"Let me tell you, Lao Zhang, when I was a kid, I couldn't even afford five-cent jelly beans, let alone Paris Baguette. My son has never eaten jelly beans, and I've never let him eat any other snacks."

Bai Zihua twitched his mouth unconsciously.

So you’re not as tall as Xiao Zhang?
That’s not right. It seems that Zhang Lekang is originally a few centimeters taller than President Su. It’s a genetic problem.

Bai Zihua silently compared Su Cheng and Zhang Yangwen's height and body shape.

Maybe it’s because Zhang Yangwen often eats sweets, so he is a little fat. Although he doesn’t look very fat, his weight is much higher than the average of his peers.

When Xiao Cheng was a child, not to mention snacks, even normal meals were not nutritious.

Bai Zihua felt that this was a bit of an overreaction.

Xiao Cheng loved eating eggs when he was a child, and he still loves eating eggs now.

why?
It all comes down to a lack of protein.

Xiao Cheng now does not have the habit of eating snacks or sweets, so he has a well-proportioned and lean body, without any excess fat on his body. His body fat percentage and muscle mass are at the normal level for people of his age.

But when it comes to overall physical quality, it's definitely not "excellent". It might take him 30 to 40 minutes to run five kilometers on the playground.

But Bai Zihua didn't dare say it out loud.

Because whenever he mentioned this, President Su would inevitably talk about his "Heaven will give great responsibilities to this person" stuff, and then emphasize "starving his body."

"Old Zhang, you should know that God will give great responsibilities to those who are capable of them..."

"What I did was starve them. You know what starving them means, right?"

Bai Zihua: ...

"I won't tell you much about food, clothing, and consumption."

"The company had a morning meeting two days ago, and Xiao Zhang was late."

"Zihua, please bring Xiao Zhang's travel records and the statistics of the average commuting time for each class in Jingzhou to Mr. Zhang for a look."

"Ok."

Bai Zihua retrieved a detailed travel record of Zhang Yangwen after he arrived in Jingzhou, which included information such as time, location, and consumption records.

"Let's take a look at Xiao Zhang's logic."

Generally, newly arrived office workers will choose to rent a house outside the Sixth Ring Road, and there are countless places in the suburbs.

根据统计数据显示，在京州工作1~3年、3~5年的外地上班族每天的平均通勤时间为1小时40分钟。

The distance of the rental location directly affects the length of the commuting time.

Shorter commutes mean more free time.

Zhang Yangwen directly rented a commercial apartment next to Shengyue Consulting. His daily commuting time was about 10 to 15 minutes, giving him 90 minutes more free time than others.

But Zhang Yangwen could still be late.

This is really unbelievable.

The movement trajectory shows that Zhang Yangwen would go to a Paris Baguette to buy desserts or some other cafes to buy drinks almost every few days.

“All the commuting time that’s saved is spent here.”

"Renting costs more money, but it also takes more time."

"Living close to the company, even if it means sleeping two more hours a day, I think it's worth it."

"Look at this..."

On this point, Su Tianyan's analysis is absolutely correct.

It is clear.

Zhang Yangwen did not use the saved time, but did other things.

Then his behavior of renting a house is meaningless. It would be better for him to live in Yanjiao or Xishankou, where the cost-effectiveness is better.

"Where did Xiao Zhang get this money?"

"Didn't you guys give it to him, Old Zhang?"

"You could say this is a resource that Xiao Zhang's family has given him."

"But unfortunately... Xiao Zhang didn't take advantage of it."

"He wasn't even aware that there was something wrong with his behavior."

Having said this, Su Tianyan began to explain his methodology for training Su Cheng.

When the brat was in college, he didn't give Su Cheng much living expenses and let him work part-time on his own.

If you have money, you can eat it.

If you don’t have money, you’ll starve.

“So my son had to work at a convenience store and do his schooling part-time.”

When Su Tianyan said this, he took a special look at Zhang Lekang's expression, and also glanced at Bai Zihua's expression.

He added: "Sounds a bit cruel, doesn't it?"

"But if I didn't do this, he wouldn't know how valuable time is."

"He might choose to play games or do something else in the dormitory instead of studying."

"Without living expenses, he will become aware of this and will notice that time is hard-earned."

Suppose Su Cheng worked part-time at a convenience store for 150 hours this month and earned 3000 yuan.

If he spends this money frugally, it can cover his living expenses for two months. He won't need to work part-time next month and can save 150 hours to do other things.

You can rest and study.

Under this kind of training, there is a probability of more than 90% that people will choose the latter and study harder.

If I don't study during the time I save, I won't have such an opportunity next month and I'll have to work part-time again.

These 150 hours were hard-earned!
Assuming that Su Tianyan gave Su Cheng 1500 yuan per month for living expenses and did not require him to work part-time at a convenience store, he would definitely not have such motivation, and would not cherish the resources provided by his family.

The same principle applies to the issue of renting a house.

Zhang Lekang also wanted to criticize his son for spending in this way which was inappropriate.

But Zhang Yangwen didn't even tell his father what kind of house he rented in Jingzhou or how much it cost. He just called to say that he had settled down.

If Su Cheng were given the same conditions, he would definitely make use of the 180 minutes saved from commuting every day.

90 hours a month means 1080 hours a year.

3240 hours in three years.

These more than 3,000 hours are enough for Su Cheng to master more skills, improve more knowledge, and accumulate more experience than Zhang Yangwen.

Su Cheng has been brought up in this way since he was a child, so I don’t know how many more three thousand hours he has than my own son.

This is where the gap between Su Cheng and Zhang Yangwen comes from.

"Lao Zhang, you don't have to feel too sorry or too much of a gap."

"Normally this wouldn't be a problem."

"Xiao Zhang has been pampered and used to living in a big villa. Now he's working hard alone in Jingzhou. It's normal for him to want a more spacious place and not want to sit on the subway for three or four hours every day."

Su Tianyan said both good and bad things, and both true and false things.

What he just meant was that there is nothing wrong with normal rich second-generations, but if the successor is like this, then there will be a big problem.

Because Zhang Yangwen's actions are undoubtedly synonymous with mediocrity, laziness, and stupidity!
Especially in the eyes of their two fathers who want their children to be successful, this is the most unfair point of criticism.
