557 [Nouveau riche]
Song Weiyang accompanied Chen Tao in Sanshui for half a month, and then set off to return to Shenghai.
The Spring Festival is approaching, but Song Weiyang is very busy, and Shen Si is ushering in the busiest time of the year. Because of the year-end reports of major companies, Song Weiyang needs to go through them one by one, and even has to have video or telephone conferences with senior executives (above the vice president level) of Xifeng, Shenzhou, Sohu, Sogou, NetEase, Tencent, Vimicro, SMIC, Taurus Capital, Alibaba and other companies.
Far away in Shenzhen, Jinniu Business School has also started the second round of admissions exams.
Anyone who wants to study at Taurus Business School can apply for the entrance exam anytime and anywhere as long as they pay an application fee of 500 yuan. At regular intervals, the school will send letters to current students and arrange for them to come for written tests and interviews.
It was the first round at the end of December last year, and now it belongs to the second round.
"Boss, it's here!" the driver reminded.
Niu Guangcheng was wearing a high-end suit, with a big belly, and waited for the attendant in the passenger cab to get out of the car and open the door, he moved his body with Xiao Mi around the waist of the water snake, and instructed the attendant: "Wait in the car!"
The attendant couldn't help but remind: "Mr. Niu, today is the entrance exam, and Secretary Wei has a bad influence with him." ”
"What's wrong? Lao Tzu still wants you to teach you how to do things?" Niu Guangcheng was a little unhappy.
The attendant only nodded his head and squeezed out a smile: "Then I wish Mr. Niu a smooth exam and a prosperous business." ”
Niu Guangcheng said disdainfully: "This Taurus Business School is not a formal school, you can study it after paying the money, and the exam must go through the motions." If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to meet more friends in the business world, I wouldn't have come to study, and I still read a hammer book in my 40s. ”
"Yes, yes, Niu is right. The attendant echoed again and again.
Niu Guangcheng left the parking lot with Xiaomi in his arms, and suddenly said, "Smoke!"
Xiao Mi immediately took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it, and said angrily: "Oh, Mr. Niu, you said that you would take someone to Hong Kong City to play." Opposite this special zone is the port city, anyway, there is time, it is better to go over and have a look after the exam. ”
"Go, go, go, definitely go. Niu Guangcheng said with a puff of smoke.
At this time, a car stopped beside them, Guo Guangchang walked out of the car, smiled and nodded politely at Niu Guangcheng, and called at the same time and said: "Well, I have arrived at the place, I will go over after the written test and interview, everyone have a few drinks tonight." ”
Niu Guangcheng heard that the other party was also here to take the exam of the business school, and glanced at Guo Guangchang's car again, and immediately laughed happily: "Little brother, it's time for you to change Toyota." How many years ago, like those of us who did business, we would lose face when we drove a bad car, and the deals that could be negotiated would definitely be yellow. ”
Guo Guangchang said: "My company is in Shenghai, and after flying to the Special Economic Zone, I borrowed this car from a friend and drove it. ”
In fact, it was the car of the branch, Guo Guangchang didn't want to be too high-profile, so he specially picked an old car.
Niu Guangcheng took the initiative to hand over the cigarette and asked, "What business is the little brother doing in Shenghai?"
"Selling medicine. Guo Guangchang said.
"It's very profitable to engage in pharmaceutical agents, and I have a friend who also does this business," Niu Guangcheng handed out his business card and said, "My name is Niu Guangcheng, I am a mine, and I used to run gas stations, and now gas stations are sold to PetroChina." ”
Guo Guangchang asked, "Coal mine?"
Niu Guangcheng said: "It is mainly gypsum ore, and by the way, other associated minerals are also excavated. ”
"Boss Niu must have made a lot of money, and the people who opened the mines were all rich people. Guo Guangchang flattered in passing.
Niu Guangcheng said happily: "What a lot of money." I'm just picking up what people have leftover, and it's best to dig gypsum in a single deposit, and all I have in my hands are associated minerals. However, I recently won a good mine, which is very interesting, and in a few years I plan to go public with the company. This time, I came to Taurus Business School to learn how to operate the listing. ”
Guo Guangchang said: "Then I wish Boss Niu a successful listing." ”
The two chatted and walked into the elevator, at this time the Taurus Business School was still relatively shabby, and only rented a few rooms in a high-end office building. After the handover of the Jianlibao Building in Huadu is completed, the office of the business school will be moved over and will continue to serve as the headquarters of the Taurus Business School.
The scale is expanding little by little, and now there are only EMBA classes, and in the future, we will continue to increase the teaching programs, and we will have to build our own buildings after they become bigger.
I went upstairs to the "classroom", where there were already a few seats, and someone was checking the "admission ticket" at the door.
Guo Guangchang and Niu Guangcheng were successfully allowed to enter, but that Xiaomi was stopped, and the staff said: "Irrelevant people, please go out!"
Niu Guangcheng smiled and said, "This is my secretary." I saw that it was quite empty, so I asked her to sit in the back row to get a feel for the atmosphere of the business school. ”
"This gentleman, if you insist on letting her in, then your entrance exam will be disqualified," the staff said. ”
The expression on Niu Guangcheng's face was a little embarrassed, and he was angry and inconvenient, so he could only say to Xiao Mi: "You are waiting outside." ”
Xiaomi pouted, twisted her waist and turned to leave.
There are a total of 26 bosses who participated in this round of exams, and it doesn't matter whether they come or not, they will directly announce the start of the exam when the time comes.
Niu Guangwei didn't even graduate from junior high school, and in order to save face, he got a correspondence bachelor's degree after making a fortune. After he got the test paper, the original nervous mood disappeared instantly, because it was all some multiple-choice questions, only the last question needed to be discussed, and it was to explain his views on his own industry.
In less than half an hour, Niu Guangcheng finished the test paper and was directly invited into another room for an interview.
Since the Golden Bull Business School was still in its infancy, a total of four full-time professors were recruited, which was still caused by Dean Xiang Bing's dry saliva, and the rest needed to be served by professors from other universities.
At this moment, Xiang Bing personally served as the admissions interviewer, and he said to Niu Guangcheng: "Please briefly introduce yourself." ”
If it is a school like Tsinghua University and Peking University, Niu Guangcheng may still be reined in. But Jinniu Business School belongs to the grass platform team, and even the exam location is in the office building, Niu Guangcheng doesn't know which onion Xiang Bing is, and he said loudly: "My name is Niu Guangcheng, and I am 45 years old this year...... I am a natural business acumen, Song Weiyang started a business at the age of 17, and I also started a business at the age of 17. I collected eggs from the countryside and sold them in the city, and at that time, I was going to be arrested and imprisoned for selling eggs, and no one in the whole county dared to do this kind of business except me. I can buy my eggs without a ticket, and the business is so good that I can't keep myself busy. Many people saw that I was making money and wanted to sell eggs along with me. I let them sell it, I bought it in the countryside, and the black market eggs in half of the county were all taken from me......"
This guy was rambling for three minutes, all talking about his brilliant entrepreneurial history, and Xiang Bing interrupted with a headache: "A brief introduction is good." ”
Niu Guangcheng, who was interrupted from his speech, was very unhappy, leaned back to collect his abdomen, and raised Erlang's legs with his hands and feet: "A few years ago, I made a lot of money selling gas stations, and now my main business is mining. I don't have a lot of assets, and I can barely be considered a billionaire when all things are counted. I heard that Jinniu Business School only recruits big bosses, my net worth is enough for admissions, right?"
Xiang Bing said speechlessly: "The enrollment of Jinniu Business School is not based on assets. Okay, you evaluate your strengths and weaknesses again. ”
Niu Guangcheng said with a smile: "The advantage of this person is that I have a good brain, and I know that I can make money because of opportunities that others can't see." I also like to make friends, the amount of alcohol is very good, two catties of liquor is like drinking water. No matter where the businessman comes from, as long as he has a drink with me, he will be sure to accept me. I'm still very righteous to my friends, as long as I make friends sincerely, anything can be done. Last year, a friend lost his pants in business, and I lent him 1 million copies without saying a word, and everyone who knew me said that I was a timely rain in the business world! I also have an advantage that I ......
"Cons, talk about disadvantages. Remember, it's about the shortcomings of business, don't say if you drink or not. Xiang Bing was a little impatient.
Niu Guangcheng scratched his head and thought for a long time, slapped his thigh and said, "My shortcoming is that I am too righteous to my friends." Let me tell you, once when I shipped, a friend who had known him for many years ......"
"I understand what you mean, you were deceived by a friend, right?" Xiang Bing interrupted again and asked, "Let's talk about your most regretful thing, remember, it must be related to business!"
Niu Guangcheng may have been a little tired from Erlang's legs, so he moved his legs down and said, "This is sad." Lao Tzu shouldn't have sold the gas station so early, if he had left it for now, he would have been able to sell it for at least four or five million more, who the hell knows that it has risen so fast! There is also the coal mine, which is produced in the county next door to me, and the public coal mine has been dug for decades, and it has been basically dug clean. I didn't think I could make any money, so I didn't buy it. As a result, there is still coal in the mine below, and there are still a lot of reserves! If I had bought the coal mine at that time, I would now be worth at least two or three hundred million yuan! This is all luck, God won't let me make this money!"
Xiang Bing said: "Okay, your interview is over." ”
Niu Guangcheng said unfinished: "I haven't finished yet." ”
"Needless to say. Xiang Bingdao.
Niu Guangcheng asked, "Then I was admitted?"
Xiang Bing said: "Go back and wait for news." ”
Niu Guangcheng felt a little unsecure: "In this way, I will take out the tuition fee of hundreds of thousands, and donate another 500,000 to Jinniu Business School!"
Xiang Bing said: "Sorry, except for Taurus Capital, we only accept alumni donations. Before you officially enrolled, you were not an alumnus of Taurus Business School. ”
"You are just hypocritical, you don't want any money for nothing. Niu Guangcheng swaggered away.
Xiang Bing had been busy all day, and he had a headache, and more than half of the people who took the second round of the admissions exam were nouveau riche with this kind of old hat. He called Song Weiyang directly to explain the situation, and said with emotion: "Mr. Song, it seems that we have to reduce the enrollment quota, I'm afraid 100 people can't be together, let's only recruit 80 people." Let me tell you, I knew that the overall quality of China's rich people was very low, but I didn't expect it to be so low. Let's not talk about the interview, the GMAT questions I imitated in the written test, and many candidates' answers can make you laugh angrily. Especially the last essay question, which makes people laugh and cry, and I wonder how they managed to make their business bigger. ”
"Hahahaha," Song Weiyang couldn't stop laughing when he heard it, "Professor Xiang, you just have to be patient, the short general picks a few pleasing ones, and gathers the 100 enrollment places." Following the principle of wide entry and strict exit, those who are not satisfied with the credit will not be allowed to graduate, so as to ensure the quality of Niu Business School. We are now in the initial stage, and the funds are very tight, so let's get the scale up first. If you think about it this way, if you recruit 20 fewer students, you will lose 6 million dollars in funding in a year. ”
Xiang Bing couldn't help laughing: "Well, then I can figure it out." ”
At this time, the overall quality of China's wealthy was so low that you can only look at the description of Fortune magazine: these people built luxurious and tacky imitation White House offices and imitation rococo villas; they built villas in the suburbs but did not dare to turn on the luxury chandeliers for fear of causing the poor neighbor's house to trip; their wives endured their husband's countless lovers and felt so lonely that they could only pass their lives by raising expensive pets, going to temples to burn incense, and having more children; they poured sprite into the most expensive red wine and poured it down like drinking water; they ate fried eels, Stuffy seaweed and stewed oyster ...... Enjoy every minute of luxury.
Don't think this is a smear by the Yankees, in the suburbs of China around 2000, the use of high-power electrical appliances is indeed easy to cause regional tripping. As for mixing Coke into "Lafite '82", it is the favorite of many nouveau riche, and they even think that the correct way to drink red wine is to mix it with Coke.
Let's talk about the answer to Niu Guangcheng's written essay question, this guy is full of typos, which roughly means: Mining in China must first have a relationship, and secondly, there must be strong power, who is strong in fighting, who is even more desperate, in order to get the mine in hand and keep it from being lost.
Well, it seems to be true, but the answer Xiang Bing wants is not this. Explain your own industry, the correct answer should revolve around the industry prospects, market environment, business management, marketing methods, technical costs, etc., who the cares if you fight or not?
