"Don't give me such a playful face. Although your eldest brother and second brother are equally bad at studying, they are not as good as you. What is the reason?"
Zhang Hao felt like his head was very big.
He does not expect his children to become top academics, because he himself is not one, but at least they must have the education of an ordinary person, rather than a stupid rich second generation who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.
An An said with a bitter look on her face: "Dad, it's not that I don't want to study, it's just that the life in school is too depressing. I start studying early before eight o'clock in the morning, and the courses are fully scheduled all day long, and I don't start studying until six o'clock in the evening."
School is over."
"Aren't all the other students coming here in the same way, why can't you do it?" Zhang Hao asked solemnly.
"Dad, it's meaningless for you to say this. If it weren't for the college entrance examination, who would be willing to study so hard? Anyway, no matter what, I can go to college in the end, and my academic performance is not important to me at all."
An An retorted on the spot.
His eldest brother and second brother are the best examples.
"Here's nonsense." The more he listened, the angrier Zhang Hao got, and he slapped the table hard: "Is going to school just to get into college? Going to school is to learn cultural knowledge, broaden your horizons, and increase your knowledge. No wonder you kid doesn't study hard. It turns out you're smart.
.”
An An hurriedly defended: "Dad, I didn't say I wouldn't study? If you don't believe me, ask my mom. I'm pretty good at history and geography, and I pass every exam."
"You are seriously biased. Fortunately, it's not too late to remedy the situation. If you delay it for a few more years, it will be too late."
Zhang Hao reached out and knocked the opponent on the head.
"Dad, I..."
An An wanted to make some more excuses.
He really doesn't like studying, especially science, which makes people have a headache just looking at him.
Zhang Hao waved his hand and interrupted directly: "Since you don't like the teaching environment in school, then study at home. I'll tell your mother later and ask her to find a more capable tutor for you."
"Dad, I have a tutor, no need to..."
"The previous tutor was ineffective, so change it for me immediately. It's best to change it to a younger teacher. It will be easier for you young people to communicate with each other."
Zhang Hao said unceremoniously.
"Okay!" Anonon replied nonchalantly.
Zhang Hao then turned his attention to his younger son: "Kangkang, your third brother has finished speaking, it's your turn."
"Dad, I am ranked eighth from the bottom in the class, and my grades are better than my third brother." Kangkang said with a proud face.
"What's there to be proud of? Isn't it an honor to be eighth from the bottom?" Zhang Hao stretched out his hand to pinch his younger son's face, then looked at his third son, and said with an unkind expression: "You kid, tell me honestly, did you lead your younger brother to evil?
?I clearly remember that he did very well when he was in kindergarten, but why did he not do well as soon as he entered elementary school?"
"Dad, don't accuse me wrongly. My little brother is just playful and has nothing to do with me."
An An quickly pushed it all away.
Zhang Hao immediately snorted coldly, ignored the third son's answer, and turned to the younger son for confirmation:
"Kangkang, tell dad, does your third brother often take you to play with him?"
"Dad, third brother didn't take me to play."
Kangkang is quite loyal.
In other words, he was afraid that if he told the truth, his third brother would never play with him again.
When An An heard this, he immediately cast an appreciative look.
"Little slippery devil." Zhang Hao laughed and scolded, "Okay, since you two brothers have chosen to share blessings and hardships, I will also find you a tutor, and find one who is stricter, who must be able to control you.
you."
"Dad, I'm only in the second grade..."
Kangkang had a sad face.
Zhang Hao once again put on a serious face: "Don't say that dad didn't give you a chance. As long as you two can enter the top ten in the class, it's up to you to decide whether the tutor will leave or stay."
"Top ten in the class? How is this possible?"
An An said in disbelief.
"Don't bargain with me, and don't ask your grandparents for mercy. No one can change the decision made by your father and me."
Zhang Hao cut off the brothers' luck.
An An and Kangkang looked at each other, and the two brothers lowered their heads almost at the same time.
…
At the same time, Zhang Chongxin also called his second grandson Zhang Guoxuan into the room. When he came back in the morning, this kid looked very worried.
"Tell me! What's bothering you?"
"Grandpa, I..."
"What should you avoid in front of grandpa? To be honest, do you think you haven't graduated from college yet and are afraid of becoming a father?" Zhang Chongxin guessed.
In more than three months, the fourth generation of the old Zhang family will be born, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen.
"No." Leslie Cheung quickly shook his head, "I have been mentally prepared to be a father for a long time."
"Then what are you worried about?"
Zhang Chongxin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Leslie Cheung thought for a while and tried to express his worries: "Grandpa, I just feel that compared with my elder brother, I am a bit of a failure. I don't know what to do after graduation?"
"What are you thinking about? Your life has just begun. How can you tell that you have failed?"
Zhang Chongxin was angry.
"Brother did a great job this time. Not only did he successfully cash out more than 120 billion, but he also bought the Min...
road.
Zhang Chongxin quickly comforted him: "Silly boy, what's the comparison? Your eldest brother is just a blind cat who met a dead mouse. If you want to take the credit, it should be your father."
"Grandpa, don't you often tell me that luck is also a part of strength?"
"This is indeed true. Just like your grandfather and I, we have worked hard for decades, but in less than a year of starting a business, your father has made money that his grandfather could not make in several lifetimes. I am also as confused as you.
"
Zhang Chongxin sighed and couldn't help but recall that time more than ten years ago.
"Then grandpa, why do you..."
Zhang Guoxuan said curiously.
"Haha..." Zhang Chongxin smiled slightly, "I later figured it out on my own. Without the foundation laid by my grandfather, no matter how talented your dad is, it will be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Do you think this is the truth?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Grandpa, this is different. You and my dad have a father-son relationship. Although my eldest brother and I have a good relationship, in the business world..."
Zhang Guoxuan shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Chongxin stood up on crutches, reached out and patted his second grandson on the shoulder: "Your eldest brother wants to be in politics and has no intention of doing business. There is no comparison between you brothers."
"Oh, it's because of this that I feel extremely desperate. The money that my eldest brother has earned through luck may be something that I will never be able to reach in my life. Grandpa, you tell me... why should I bother?"
Zhang Guoxuan spread his hands.
"What a silly boy. Grandpa has been in business all his life. I would like to give you a message. Is your business successful? You should not just look at how much money you make, but also your social influence.
Your eldest brother's Shuguang Company has no control at all, he is just an investor. In terms of social influence, it is far inferior to your Minde era."
Zhang Chongxin’s words are serious and thoughtful.
Leslie Cheung helped his grandfather sit down again, and then asked humbly: "Grandpa, isn't it true that a truly successful entrepreneur should have more wealth, the better?"
"Superficial. Thanks to your father, the four of you brothers, including Guoguo, each have a net worth of at least hundreds of billions. Can you spend so much money?
Since our family is naturally not short of money, we should have higher pursuits. The reason why your father is willing to abandon business and join politics is actually in the final analysis...ahem..."
Leslie Cheung hurriedly helped his grandfather calm down.
Zhang Chongxin gradually stopped coughing, took a sip of water, and asked casually: "Where did I just say?"
"Grandpa, you just mentioned the reason why my father gave up business and entered politics." Zhang Guoxuan reminded.
"The reason why your father gave up business and entered politics is that the position was too attractive. It could leave a name in history. I think most people would not refuse it;
On the other hand, and most importantly, he wants to improve the security level of our family by becoming a consul. After all, these days, if you have money but no power, you can only be at the mercy of others, and the Europeans are the most typical example."
Zhang Guoxuan was thoughtful: "Grandpa, since there is no future in business, then I will be like my elder brother and take the official employee exam after graduation."
"No, your big brother is enough. You should do what you like! Besides, although the status of businessmen today is not as good as before, walking on two legs is worse than one." Zhang Chongxin advised.
"Grandpa, what do you think I should do to become a real entrepreneur?"
Leslie Cheung finally regained some confidence.
Zhang Chongxin took off his reading glasses and wiped them. While wiping the lenses, he replied: "Your grandfather, I have been in business all my life. I have some experience, so I will leave it to you today."
Zhang Guoxuan immediately sat up straight and looked like he was listening carefully.
"Your grandfather and I are not that great in business. If someone is born to be great, then he will definitely not become a big entrepreneur."
"Let's put it this way! Based on your grandfather's and my decades of experience, I divide entrepreneurs into three levels."
"The first level is the ordinary person's imagination of a businessman. No matter how big he is, if he only cares about money and has no sense of social responsibility, or has a very small sense of social responsibility, then he is destined to fail."
"On the second level, if a company has reached a certain scale, or has a sense of social responsibility, is willing to donate money, is willing to help others, and help small businesses, then this is a real entrepreneur."
"There is a higher level. At this level, you really don't know how to have a career. You don't do it for fame or money. You live entirely for society."
"Do you know what this type of entrepreneur is called?"
"I don't know." Leslie Cheung shook his head repeatedly.
Zhang Chongxin said solemnly: "They are called charity entrepreneurs, or you can also call them social entrepreneurs. Even in the current situation, social entrepreneurs are the only way out for this group of businessmen."
"Social entrepreneur? Grandpa, if I follow what you say, it would be better to hand over the business directly to the state. Wouldn't it be easier?"
Zhang Guoxuan frowned.
Zhang Chongxin waved his hand with a smile and said without further explanation: "You are still young, so you don't need to know the difference for now. It won't do you any good. When you are your father's age, you will understand it naturally."
"Is it so mysterious?"
Zhang Guoxuan muttered.
"Bad boy, will grandpa still lie to you?"
Zhang Chongxin hit the ground hard with his crutch.
"Hey, that's not what I meant."
Zhang Guoxuan scratched his hair and then concluded:
"Grandpa, I probably understand what you mean. To put it in simpler terms, the more employees I support and the more taxes I pay, the safer our family will be. Isn't that true?"
Zhang Chongxin nodded happily: "Although you are not in the middle, you are not far away. The fact that you can think of this shows that your understanding is not bad. There are no cowards in our old Zhang family. Grandpa believes that you will be able to do great things, little pudding!"
"Grandpa, I won't let you down."
Zhang Guoxuan nodded firmly.
"Good! Good! Good! As expected of our old Zhang family." Zhang Chongxin was immediately relieved.
Having rediscovered the direction of life, Leslie Cheung swept away his previous anxiety and confusion, and his eyes regained brilliance.
Immediately afterwards, he took the opportunity to express a bold idea that suddenly occurred to him:
"Grandpa, I want to move the Minde era to Xinfeng Island. After all, it is the territory of our old Zhang family. What do you think?"
"You kid, don't be so messy. I just complimented you a few times and you're already drifting off? It's not as simple as you think. Do you know how many parts a car has?"
"I really know this. There are more than 15,000 parts in total."
Leslie Cheung replied impatiently.
Since he chose Minde Times, he has learned a lot of professional knowledge about cars in the past two years. He is not a novice who knows nothing as his grandfather said.
"Since you know, you shouldn't talk nonsense. There are so many parts and such a long supply chain. It can't be moved away. Many things can affect the whole body."
Zhang Chongxin took a breath and continued:
"And how do you plan to explain it to Minde City? There are tens of thousands of employees. How will these people be arranged?"
Zhang Guoxuan blurted out: "What's so difficult about this? At worst, we can move there together!"
"Move there? How to move there? With so many families, food, family employment, children's education, medical security, etc., all are big problems."
Zhang Chongxin was angry.
"Is it okay to move there later?"
Zhang Guoxuan was a little unwilling.
In his heart, he has regarded Xinfeng Island as his own territory, and he wants to contribute as much as he can, hoping that it will develop better and better.
"No." Zhang Chongxin paused, and then changed the topic: "If you insist on moving there, you can build a branch factory on the island in the future. It is unrealistic to move the entire island."
"alright, I got it."
Zhang Guoxuan nodded helplessly.
Zhang Chongxin was a little worried, and finally warned: "With your current ability, you can't even manage a small department, let alone manage the entire company.
In my opinion, you should honestly practice for a few years, no, at least ten years, or even longer, and then consider taking over your grandfather's class."
