Zhao Mingyang and Wu Zhonghua are both smart people. The spirit of contract between smart people is the most effective. To put it bluntly, everyone is very clear about their own value and the value of the other party, so there is no need to go through so many twists and turns.
At noon, Zhao Mingyang and Wu Zhonghua went to a community, a residential community for family members.
There are rows of townhouses and sunrooms in the family courtyard. A man in his early fifties stood at the gate of the community waiting for Zhao Mingyang and the others. The person who greeted him lived in the terraced house in the family courtyard, which was considered to be of a relatively high level.
Yes, he can come out to greet people. The community security guards can't help but take a few more glances to see who can let him come to greet people in person.
This person was the president of one of Shanghai's top universities. He was waiting for Wu Zhonghua. Zhao Mingyang and Wu Zhonghua were riding in an Audi A6 that parked in the parking space in front of the community. Old Wu drove here to wait for them.
Wu Zhonghua got off the car and walked towards the community. Zhao Mingyang followed Wu Zhonghua. The man who greeted him quickly reached out and shook hands with Wu Zhonghua and said, "It's been a long time, Teacher Wu. I also said I would visit you at your home in a few days."
Well, why did you come to my place? It's my fault. How could I let you come to see me? I'll go to your house as soon as you call me."
Wu Zhonghua smiled and patted the man and said, "You guys are so tactful now. Come on, let me introduce you to Mingyang. This is Cai Qimin. He was my student when we were in the frontier. He follows his parents.
We went to the frontier together. Fast forward a few decades, and this boy has become an old man. Time is not forgiving. He was only in middle school at that time, and now he is fifty.
Qimin, this is Zhao Mingyang, who is also my student. You can be considered a classmate. Although this Zhao Mingyang is young, his brain is as smart as yours."
Who is Cai Qimin? He could see the purpose of Wu Zhonghua's visit at a glance. He was grateful to Wu Zhonghua. When he was in college, he came to Shanghai for Wu Zhonghua. Wu Zhonghua also knew him well.
Thank you for helping him, otherwise he wouldn't be where he is today.
"Teacher Wu, Junior Mingyang, let's go home for a drink of tea. The food is ready." Cai Qimin ushered them into the house.
The car did not drive in, but a few people walked into the community. The greening of the community is very good, and the people living here are not ordinary people. After Wu Zhonghua entered the community, many people took the initiative to say hello and reminisce with him after seeing him.
.
Zhao Mingyang saw that Cai Qimin just wanted Wu Zhonghua to take a walk in their community, and then he personally accompanied the teacher around and told some people that Wu Zhonghua was his teacher and that he and Wu Zhonghua were very close.
According to Wu Zhonghua's level, if he wants to, he can go further. Even if he is in his early seventies, it is not too old. The average person in this rank is over ninety, and Wu Zhonghua is also a member of the core circle of the think tank. This is the key.
, it cannot be ignored, he is a very important person in the think tank.
The members of the think tank are all the most advanced people in the country, and their vision and pattern are not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Zhao Mingyang knew the value of Wu Zhonghua, and Cai Qimin knew it even more. He had invited Wu Zhonghua to his home before, but he didn't come. He just wanted to let the people in the community know who his backer was. It was Wu Zhonghua.
….
Wu Zhonghua is well-known in the circle of the older generation. What is more important is the people Wu Zhonghua has followed before and the people he has led. There are many people among this group of people who are the best, so Wu Zhonghua's status is very important.
Gao, he never missed the line, this is the key.
Zhao Mingyang still didn't know much about this, because he could only know it based on some information, and he didn't dare to ask about him easily. But when he saw Wu Zhonghua walking around the community and so many people saying hello, Zhao Mingyang could tell from his words and deeds.
I'm sure, this old man is better than I thought.
People are really amazing. If Wu Zhonghua didn't have a knot in his heart, it would be extremely difficult for Zhao Mingyang to see him. Even if he did meet him, he wouldn't have much communication. It's really disappointing that such an old man is trapped by a knot in his heart.
People have mixed feelings, and every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. No matter how powerful a person is, they may be trapped by mental knots.
Zhao Mingyang can now guess with a high probability that his child is most likely no longer in the country, or has already passed away...
If he were in China, it would be impossible to find Wu Zhonghua. He is now
It was just a thought, the best news was that the child had no definite news, and another thought, this obsession kept him hanging, otherwise he might really not be able to hold on.
When he arrived at Cai Qimin's home, his wife and children were all at home, and they seemed to receive him in a very grand manner.
There were six dishes in two trips and eight dishes, all of which were what Wu Zhonghua liked to eat, and they were cooked at home. He did not buy food from the hotel and take it home because Wu Zhonghua loved home-cooked food, and he would eat anything cooked by an outside cook.
When it came out, Wu Zhonghua didn't like to waste. Six dishes and two soups were just enough for six people.
The larger the plate and the more dishes, the equivalent of ten dishes. Cai Qimin knows this better.
It didn't take long to arrive at Cai Qimin's house. Cai Qimin greeted Wu Zhonghua and Zhao Mingyang and went directly to the dining table to have dinner. Cai Qimin's son and daughter-in-law came back from work specially to have dinner, toasted Wu Zhonghua, and they had a drink. Wu Zhonghua didn't like to owe others
Yes, he knew what Cai Qimin meant, why he asked his son and daughter-in-law to come over for dinner.
After chatting for a while, Wu Zhonghua probably knew what Cai Qimin's son was doing now, so he called Cai Qimin's son on the spot and told him that Cai Qimin's son was the child of his student and that he would take more care of him in the future.
Just this one phone call saved Cai Qimin 10,000 words and countless connections. This is Wu Zhonghua’s energy. One sentence of his is worth 10,000 words of others. No one in this circle of Shanghai dares not to give Wu Zhonghua
The thing about face is not that there are not many people, but that there are no people.
After dinner, Cai Qimin invited Zhao Mingyang and Wu Zhonghua to his study for tea. This was the purpose of this visit.
Wu Zhonghua did not beat around the bush and said that Zhao Mingyang wanted to try to be a teacher and had the ability to become a teacher. He mainly wanted to open an entrepreneurship training course.
Cai Qimin kept saying yes. Their school had wanted to open this course for a long time, but they had never found a good teacher. Wu Zhonghua recommended him as the best candidate. He asked Zhao Mingyang if he wanted to be an internal or external teacher.
For internal hires, you need to attend classes regularly and frequently participate in some meetings within the school. To put it bluntly, it takes a long time, but you can participate in school ratings. Now the title ratings are all handed over to the school. You will definitely only be a lecturer in the first year.
But at Zhao Mingyang's rate, he will be given the title of associate professor in at most two years.
….
For those hired from outside, it's relatively simple. The school gives Zhao Mingyang some labor fees so that he can take time out to give lectures to the students. However, the remuneration for labor dispatch is average, which is equivalent to the nature of temporary workers. Apart from having a teacher title, there is nothing.
There are so many benefits, and I can’t even judge my professional title. The difference lies in this. Also, I have much more time than those who are hired internally. I can just come and take classes once or twice a month.
Zhao Mingyang did not hesitate to choose internal employment. He is a university teacher and does not want to be a counselor. His own courses are not very full, especially the elective courses he teaches are not required professional courses or public required courses. Therefore, there is a gap between internal employment and external employment.
Not big.
Of course, if you choose to hire internally, you can mix your titles in the future. This is also the reason why some professors have great reputations but are also highly regarded. The main reason is that the school can decide on its own for many titles, and this authority is very large.
Cai Qimin asked Zhao Mingyang to join him, give him his resume, go through the interview process, and then prepare courseware for class, giving Zhao Mingyang the green light all the way.
Zhao Mingyang is just going through the motions and can definitely become a teacher. After two years as an associate professor, at this rate, Zhao Mingyang will soon become a so-called expert...
After leaving Cai Qimin's home, Zhao Mingyang and Wu Zhonghua returned to Wu Zhonghua's home in a car.
Wu Zhonghua and Zhao Mingyang were sitting in the living room and continued drinking tea. Wu Qizhong looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked, "Can you play Go?"
"I know a little bit," Zhao Mingyang said.
"Go to that cabinet and get the chessboard and chess box. Let's play a game." Wu Qizhong said.
Zhao Mingyang went to get the chessboard and chess box, and put the chessboard away. Zhao Mingyang knew how to play Go in his previous life, but he only knew how to play it at this stage. I can't say how good he is. I can only say that he is not a novice.
When playing chess with Wu Zhonghua, the gap was clearly felt. After Zhao Mingyang played two games of chess with full concentration, it can be seen that the gap between him and Wu Zhonghua is huge.
Wu Zhonghua played another set with Zhao Mingyang. This was the third set. He
It can be seen that Zhao Mingyang rarely plays chess, but Zhao Mingyang's progress is very fast. Go pays attention to the overall situation. Zhao Mingyang's reading of some chess is quite accurate, and he can consider the layout of each move for the next move.
.
"It's okay, you still have to play more chess. There is a big difference between Go, chess, and mahjong and poker. First of all, the quantity. There are thirty-two red and black chess pieces in chess, and fifty-four in a deck of poker even if you add the big and small kings."
Whether you are playing with two people or playing with multiple people and playing poker, the chess pieces and cards in your hand have limitations. Mahjong has 136 or 152 tiles. Ordinary people play mahjong and poker based on luck.
Luck accounts for a large part, and what experts pay attention to is nothing more than quick eyesight and quick hands.
Go has 361 chess pieces. When two sides play chess, it is a competition algorithm. It is more complex and diverse than the algorithm of chess. The victory or defeat does not depend on luck, but purely on personal computing power. The calculation here is accurate to every opponent's chess piece.
The role of each chess piece and the role of each chess piece. Generally speaking, if you play Go well, you can quickly become the first echelon in any puzzle game.
Chess has long been defeated by computers, and Go has not yet been defeated, but it will soon. The human brain cannot compete with computers in terms of algorithms, but computers cannot compete with humans in terms of mental skills. The products of Science and Technology City are different from the cows, horses, pens, inks and papers of the past.
Inkstones are all the same, they are tools, used by humans for transportation, communication, etc.
….
People can't give up just because they can't compete with the machine, because if you compete with a tool, you will lose. Go requires an overall view and a foresight, and algorithms are unsolvable when combined with mental skills.
For example, today I asked my student Cai Qimin for help. The first thing he thought of was to bring his son and daughter-in-law. Why? Because he knew that I wanted something from him, so he wanted to make a profit from this matter.
What do you think of his behavior of making profits for his children?" Wu Zhonghua looked at Zhao Mingyang and asked.
Zhao Mingyang took the chess piece and thought for a moment and said: "If Senior Cai Qimin can get your approval, dad, then there must be something special about him. He is definitely not the kind of person who only cares about immediate benefits.
There is a high probability that he has no other choice. You are giving him an opportunity by calling him. He currently has no contact with anyone in his son's unit, or his son's boss and senior Cai Qimin are not dealing with each other, so he has nothing to do.
So he didn't hesitate to show off his profit-seeking behavior in front of me, but he had to do it because he knew that his son's immediate boss would not be able to get down from that position in ten to eight years, and would only go higher and higher.
His son may only be in this position for ten to eight years.
There is no other way, nothing to do. If you don't go to him, he will come to you for help. Of course, the reason why you go to him is because you know that he is in trouble and you want to help him, and you let him
Repay me the favor you owe me, so that I can have a new relationship with him and continue the relationship you had with him before.
Listening to the conversation between him and you in front of the community, I heard that you and he haven't been in contact for a while. It's most likely that you didn't contact him intentionally.
Senior Brother Cai Qimin’s son is the immediate boss of the unit. You can fix it with just one phone call. The other party is definitely one of yours. So, it was you who told the other party not to let Senior Brother Cai Qimin’s son get promoted?”
"You're right, I asked you to do so. Cai Qimin is a very high-spirited person, a little too arrogant. He has been very smart since he was a child. However, because of his personality, he is always prone to trouble, and sometimes it may not be a good idea if he is too sharp.
Good thing, do you understand?
I reminded him back then and helped him deal with many things. Later, when he was forty years old, I told him not to come to me for anything unnecessary.
Grandson, come find me again.
I later found out that his son's personality was very similar to his, so I asked someone to observe him carefully. Young people need more training and precipitation. This sentence made his son not promoted in three years and only promoted in five years, so
Cai Qimin was anxious.
Both father and son are talented people, but they are both people who don't understand the rules. They both want to break down and build up, but they are not people who can't break up or establish. Without the strength and background, they will only cause trouble, so I want to help them learn to understand.
Understand the rules.
Now it seems that they understand. They know who the bell tyer is and how to untie the bell.
If I hadn't done that, one of them, father and son, would have hurt the other, and eventually they would have had to find me to help them out.
At that time, the cost of rescuing the siege was too high. After thinking about it, I decided to minimize the cost. I arranged for Cai Qimin to go back to the border university as the president for two years, and then to other remote areas as the president for three years. Later, I asked him to come back.
Later, his son started working, and I asked him to stop working for another five years.
….
It took ten years for this family to truly understand the rules and no longer be so arrogant and belittling. To be talented, you have to understand the rules. This is the law of survival on this planet. If you don't understand this, you can't do it.
Sometimes when doing things, don’t just look at the present. You have to think about what everyone’s position will be, what their role will be, and what their value will be ten or twenty years from now.
Just like playing chess, you need to know the function of every chess piece you play, and you don't need to blindly place and use pieces.
Do you know why I asked you to be a teacher? Because since ancient times, the profession of teacher has been one of the professions with the most social status and one of the most recognized identities at the top of the pyramid. This group has strong cohesion and a large network of relationships.
, cannot be broken easily.
This is collective interest, and most businessmen pursue personal interests, so in the end personal interests will definitely lose to collective interests. Do you understand?
After you go to teach, you will be a real chess player. All the things and resources you are exposed to now are of little value to you, because your circle is basically personal interests. What you need is to integrate into the collective interests and achieve prosperity.
If one loses, both will suffer, you understand."
After hearing this, Zhao Mingyang suddenly understood. It turns out that collective interests defeated individual interests in the end. I understand, I understand completely.
What are collective interests? What professions are there? Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, no wonder it is difficult for businessmen to become popular, that is, most businessmen pursue personal interests. Zhao Mingyang is surrounded by personal interests now, so he must join the collective interests. He is a disciple of a teacher and a disciple of a school.
, these are considered collective interests.
Going deeper, we can’t talk about the big collective. No wonder we always talk about the big collective. The big collective is really strong.
