"Mr. Zheng, so far, 122 people in Zhengjia Village have applied for entrepreneurial funds. Only 7 people have passed the review, and they are all close relatives of your family."
"The applications submitted by these seven people provided detailed business plans. I talked with them and felt that they had great ideas, so I approved their applications..."
Foundation office building, in a conference room.
The person in charge, Hou Wen, introduced the situation to Zheng Ge.
"122 people applied, and only 7 passed the review?"
Zheng Ge frowned.
More than 100 people applied at the same time, but only 7 people passed the review.
Is this review system a bit strict?
When he first established the family foundation, he set some rules.
For example: when applying for entrepreneurial funds, a business plan must be provided, and the amount of funds must be determined based on the business plan and other conditions.
There are also various other hard conditions.
I remember that at that time, he set 10 rules.
But these rules are actually not too strict.
After all, when the family foundation was first established, the rules were too strict and were not conducive to development. As long as the principle issues are settled, other rules can be gradually improved in the future.
But, even though there are rules, it’s not like you can only pick seven out of a hundred, right?
Hou Wen sighed and said, "Mr. Zheng, it's not that I'm harsh or that I'm reluctant to lend money, but those people..."
As he spoke, he took out a large stack of documents and said, "Mr. Zheng, these are their business application materials. You will know after taking a look."
Zheng Ge randomly took out one, opened it, took a look, and frowned.
What kind of bullshit business application is this? There is no plan, and every one of them is a lion, asking for millions.
After reading a few more copies, the situation is much the same.
Throwing down the document, Zheng Ge sighed.
In Zhengjia Village, all of them are farmers, and most of them don’t know what entrepreneurship is. These guys who submitted applications probably didn’t even think about starting a business.
They probably all want to make a fortune.
Seeing this, Hou Wen continued: "So, Miss Zheng and I discussed creating a business training class to train everyone regularly and teach everyone how to start a business... After several months of training, everyone has gradually improved. At present,
The few people I am optimistic about will graduate soon."
Zheng Ge nodded and said, "Where are the seven people who passed the application?"
"This is their application information." Hou Wen took out some more documents.
Zheng Ge picked it up and took a look at it, and said in surprise: "Oh! These are my fifth aunt and sixth uncle? They also applied for entrepreneurial funds?"
"Yes."
Hou Wen nodded, as if he was worried that Zheng Ge would misunderstand, so he explained: "This is their project plan, Mr. Zheng, please take a look. I think it is very good and has great ideas."
"Moreover, they have already achieved results. For example, the sales of a drink made by your uncle Liu last month were 30 million. This is because of the limitations of production and channels. Otherwise, this sales volume would not be able to be achieved.
double."
"By the way, in addition to your fifth aunt and sixth uncle, your third uncle and fourth aunt also submitted applications, but they were not approved."
The fifth aunt and the sixth uncle are both direct relatives of Zheng Ge's family. They are the biological younger brothers and biological sisters of Zheng Ge's parents. They can easily be misunderstood as having used the back door.
If I don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid I might get into trouble.
After he approved the startup capital application from Zheng Ge's fifth aunt and sixth uncle, it aroused some discussion in Zhengjia Village.
Most people think that the reason why Fifth Aunt and Sixth Uncle's application was approved is just because of Zheng Ge's face.
Later, having no choice but to convene a meeting with the whole village, and with the support of several elderly people in Zhengjia Village, everyone's dispute was suppressed.
But even so, there are still gossips in Zhengjia Village.
There is nothing we can do about this.
After all, the blood relationship is there.
Hearing what Hou Wen said, Zheng Ge became interested and picked up the document and started reading it.
"Yes, Uncle Six has an idea! Divide the drinks into men's and women's series." Zheng Ge took a look. It was a simple idea, but very creative.
For example, women's drinks tend to have a taste that girls like, and they focus on weight loss, beauty and other effects.
Men's drink, focusing on refreshing and other effects.
After being introduced to the market, it is very attractive.
I took a look at my sister-in-law’s plan again, and it was also very good.
The other five people also have great ideas in their project planning. Let’s not talk about whether their ideas are feasible. At least they are very innovative and can make people’s eyes shine.
"very nice."
Zheng Ge put down the document and smiled with great satisfaction.
Hou Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Zheng Ge looked at the documents on the table and sighed.
From these applications, we can see the importance of cultural education.
At least, these seven applicants through the Entrepreneurship Fund all have a college degree or above.
For example, Wu Gu, a novel, means graduating from college.
The other five people were young people in the village, slightly older than Zheng Ge, and were all college students. They had all worked as white-collar workers in the company before, so they learned that Zheng Ge had set up a family fund in his hometown and could apply for funds to start a business.
Came back, ready to do something big.
In addition, those who failed to apply are mostly middle-aged people, basically with elementary school or junior high school education, and many have not even completed elementary school.
As for high school education, there are even fewer.
Of course, apart from those who are greedy for cheap and want to make a fortune, there are also some who are serious about project planning, but their vision is limited and their planning is not up to standard.
But these people are also worth cultivating.
At least they can work seriously.
Maybe in a few years, these people will completely grow up.
In fact, with the support of the family foundation and Zheng Ge's support behind it, as long as you have ideas, drive and enterprising spirit, you will be able to achieve success in the future.
…
To understand the operation of the foundation, Zheng Ge, accompanied by Hou Wen, visited and inspected the foundation and pointed out some problems to make the operation of the foundation more standardized.
"Mr. Zheng, according to the original plan, at the end of each year, entrepreneurs who apply for entrepreneurial funds will be assessed. Because this year is the first year of the establishment of the foundation, many companies are newly established. Do you think we should start the assessment from next year...
"
Walking in a corridor, Hou Wen tried to ask.
Zheng Ge shook his head, "Now that the rules have been established, let's start from this year."
"That's...okay."
After hearing this, Hou Wen nodded and agreed.
He just wanted to make the annual assessment meeting more grand.
This year, so far, only seven companies have been established in total. Except for Uncle Zheng Ge's company, which is doing pretty well, the others are all losing money.
In his opinion, the value of such a conference is too low.
Zheng Ge understood Hou Wen's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't pay too much attention to the things that are there and not there. You have to think about the impact it will have on everyone after this year's assessment conference is held."
The so-called assessment meeting is actually a family meeting in Zhengjia Village.
Externally it is just a different term.
…
After chatting with Hou Wen for a while, Zheng Ge met up with Zhao Yutong and others.
At noon, they had lunch in the pavilion in the garden and chatted with several elderly people from the Zheng family.
After resting for a while in the afternoon, Zheng Ge and the others got up and said goodbye.
"No need to send it off, let's go back to work."
Zheng Ge said goodbye to Hou Wen and others and left in the car.
It wasn't until the car was far away that Hou Wen and the others turned around and went back.
…
On the way back to Luocheng, Zheng Ge and the others did not rush all the way. They passed by a scenic spot on the way and went to have some fun.
It wasn't until night that Zheng Ge and his party rushed back to Luo City.
After returning to Luo City, I went to the hotel to have dinner with my parents, and then returned to the villa.
9 o'clock in the evening, in the villa.
Zheng Ge took a shower, sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a bottle of Guozhen drink just released by Dynamic Company in his hand, took a sip, and said, "Going to Longmen Grottoes tomorrow?"
"Okay, okay!"
Chen Xiaoyu and Shen Xiaoqi, two little girls, shouted in agreement.
Liu Hao nestled on the sofa, "Well, it's such a hot day, why not play games at home."
In the past two days, Liu Hao felt very tired.
Yesterday I went to a county with traffic jams to attend the opening ceremony of Hope School.
Today I went for a run to Zheng Ge’s hometown again.
After two days, I feel very tired.
"I just know how fun it is to play games." Chen Xiaoyu said speechlessly.
"Haha! Someone seems to be more obsessed with games than me." Liu Hao laughed.
Chen Xiaoyu's face turned red and she hummed without saying anything.
Zheng Ge looked at Zhao Yutong, "What do you think?"
Zhao Yutong smiled and said: "Longmen Grottoes have a long history and are a world-class cultural heritage. It would be a pity not to go to Luo City easily."
"What Sister Yutong said makes sense."
Liu Hao thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then just listen to Sister Yutong."
"Hmph, you flatterer."
Chen Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's rest."
Seeing Liu Hao and the others bickering, Zheng Ge shook his head and smiled, got up and walked upstairs.
Zhao Yutong also stretched and went to his room, leaving the three little kids in the living room.
…
The next day, August 12th.
After having breakfast in the morning, Zheng Ge, Zhao Yutong and the others were ready to go to Longmen Grottoes.
I wanted to call my parents together.
But the two elders seemed worried that they would not be able to play with the young people, so they did not follow.
When you come to an attraction, the first thing you need to do is buy a ticket.
Longmen Grottoes are located in Luolong District, Luocheng, on Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan Mountain on both sides of the Yihe River. They are roughly divided into three parts: Xishan Grottoes, Dongshan Grottoes, and Xiangshan Temple.
There are so many tourists coming here every day.
The Longmen Grottoes were first excavated during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and went through the Eastern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Qi, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song and other dynasties for hundreds of years.
The grottoes are 1 kilometer long from north to south, with 2,345 cave niches, more than 100,000 stone statues, and more than 2,800 inscriptions. It is the largest number of statues and the largest stone carving art treasure house in the world.
There are four major grottoes in China, namely Mogao Grottoes, Yungang Grottoes, and Maijishan Grottoes. The Longmen Grottoes have the largest number of various sculptures, ranking first among the grottoes in China.
“The fare is not cheap!”
In the ticket hall of Longmen Grottoes, Zhao Yutong looked at the tickets in his hand, shook his head and smiled.
Each ticket costs 150 yuan, and there are also charges for other items, such as sightseeing cars.
"The scenic spots across the country are all the same." Zheng Ge said, "Let's go and make a sightseeing bus."
Zhao Yutong and the others nodded and followed.
"Brother Zheng, Xiangshan Temple looks good! How about going to Xiangshan Temple later?"
"How about going to Xiangshan Temple first?"
Chen Xiaoyu wore a sun hat and sunglasses and shouted to Zheng Ge.
"Why do you think of going to Xiangshan Temple?"
Zheng Ge laughed.
Chen Xiaoyu blinked and said: "It is said that Wu Zetian liked Xiangshan Temple very much when she was proclaimed emperor in Luocheng. It seems that she left a story in Xiangshan Temple that has been praised for thousands of years. What is it called?"
"Compose poetry in Xiangshan and win the brocade robe."
Liu Hao answered from the side.
"Yes, yes."
Chen Xiaoyu raised her head with a smile: "I remember reading an introduction to Xiangshan Temple in a book. I wanted to come here a long time ago, but I never had the chance."
"Okay, if you have enough time, I will grant your wish."
Zheng Ge smiled and said, "Let's get in the car."
…
The group of people got on the sightseeing bus and started sightseeing in the scenic spot.
Zheng Ge has been to Longmen Grottoes before, but every time he came, he just took a casual look. Because at that time, coming here was not just for fun.
For example, once on Earth, I accompanied the leader.
Another time, I came with a client.
I remember that the customer was an unmarried female boss in her 30s. Her appearance was acceptable, not ugly, and not beautiful either. She was interested in him, so she took him to Longmen Grottoes while we were discussing business.
It's just that I was too young at that time, and I didn't have the brain to turn around, so I didn't agree.
…
"So tired!"
In the afternoon, while walking on the stairs to Xiangshan Temple, Chen Xiaoyu held on to the railing, squatted down, and shouted with a sad face.
"Haha! You called me to Xiangshan Temple before, but now you know you are tired?"
Liu Hao chuckled.
Chen Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and was too lazy to respond.
"Let's go, we'll be there soon, go up and rest."
Zheng Ge smiled and continued walking forward.
"Xiao Yu still lacks exercise. Look at you, Brother Zheng, you don't feel tired at all." Zhao Yutong rubbed Xiao Yu's head.
"I do morning exercises every day."
Chen Xiaoyu muttered and set off again.
"Are you going to Shaolin Temple tomorrow?"
Looking at Chen Xiaoyu who was catching up, Zheng Ge joked.
Chen Xiaoyu was silent. She felt tired from climbing the mountain and just wanted to rest for a few days. Shaolin Temple and so on, go to hell.
But looking at Liu Hao's smiling expression, she felt that she was being despised. She puffed up her chest, raised her head and said, "Go, of course."
"How many days will it be without rest?" Zheng Ge said with a smile.
"No." Chen Xiaoyu shook her head firmly.
"Okay, just like today, we will set off tomorrow morning. However, Songshan Mountain is a bit far from Luocheng, so we have to set off an hour earlier tomorrow." Zheng Ge said with a smile.
"ah!"
Chen Xiaoyu groaned, with a bitter look on his face.
…
We visited Longmen Grottoes and then went to Xiangshan Temple.
By the time they returned to the Magic City, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
Back in the city, Zheng Ge took Chen Xiaoyu and the others to have a big meal at a roadside food stall.
I ordered a lot of skewers and a box of beer and started eating.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten at a roadside stall like this.”
Zhao Yutong held a skewer of barbecue in his hand and looked around with some nostalgia.
"Have you ever eaten at a roadside stall before?" Zheng Ge joked.
