Chapter 80: History
"Then you are ......" Principal Qin Dong suddenly looked puzzled when he heard this.
"Teacher Qin Dong, you have always been a person with high prestige in the education field, and academically, I am afraid that I will never be able to reach one-tenth of you in my life! I respect you from the bottom of my heart, but I am a businessman, and you still have a lot to learn when it comes to making money...... Gao Jian pondered for a while, and then said: "Then let me ask you Teacher Qin, do you know what is the most important thing for businessmen like us?"
“…… Money, opportunity?" Qin Dong replied after thinking about it.
No, in fact, the most important thing for us is networking, especially in our domestic business. Gao Jian smiled slightly, and then said, "If you still don't understand, I'll tell you my own story." ”
"I want to hear about it. Qin Dong nodded and said.
In the early years, I was just a countryman, living a rural life of shaving food in the field, catching up with the wind and rain, and only barely getting enough food and clothing, at that time my peers in the city and me all went to work in the factory, but I did not have a city hukou, so I only had envy. Gao Jian paused, and then said: "At that time, I was unwilling to only guard the family's one-third of an acre of land and live like my father's generation, and it was just in time for Huaxia to just start reform and opening up, so I ruthlessly threw away my parents at home and ran to our Heyang to find an opportunity to make money......"
"At that time, people were indeed poor,......," Qin Dong said to himself.
"I have been on the construction site, but also worked in the restaurant, after a little money, I thought about doing some business on my own, so I bought some cold drinks such as ice cream melon seeds and soda from the cargo station, and ran to the cultural square in our city to sell, the business was not easy to do at first, there were many people selling things, in order to compete with each other, the price was also very low, I lived at that time there was no refrigerator, and the ice cream that could not be sold could only be forcibly eaten by myself, and sometimes I was ......often woken up by stomach pain" Gao Jian sighed, and then said: " But fortunately, I met a noble man at that time, that is, at that time with the same village of a high school and a small person, he used to be in the village, is a second-rate son, but two years earlier than I entered the city, people are also clever, has become the deputy captain of the chengguan brigade, saw me in the square after practicing stalls, without saying a word, he led a team of chengguan to drive away all the vendors who sold melon seed ice cream in the square like me, just like that, I relied on this small business, only to make some money, of course, I did not treat him badly, until now, he still hangs the title of a security team captain in my building materials market, no need to go to work, I pay my salary!”
"Yes, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring. Qin Dong nodded.
"Later, when I had some capital, I started to buy in the south, reselling sunglasses and bell bottoms...... The business is getting bigger and bigger, and he was even rated as an outstanding entrepreneur in Heyang that year!" When Gao Jian said this, his face showed a little brightness, and he continued: "But when your business reaches a certain scale, you will inevitably have to deal with the government frequently, from the mayor to the department leaders in charge, you have to spend money and energy to build a good relationship, and if you can't worship that temple, it is enough for you to drink a pot!"
"The country is so ......"
"Yes, the national situation at that time was indeed like this, but I got used to it, and I didn't feel that there was any ditch that I couldn't get over, I spent a few years cultivating contacts in the city, although there was more entertainment, but with these connections, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting smoother and smoother, but if I don't cultivate these connections, maybe I'm just an inconspicuous small private entrepreneur by now!" Gao Jian paused, and then said: " When I realized the importance of the relationship with the government, I began to constantly curry favor with them, the government wants to build roads, I fund, the government has poverty alleviation goals, I also fund, I also fund, build nursing homes, community medical rooms, ...... As long as the government is in need, I will pay for the money, because I know that no matter how much I pay, they only need one policy in the end, which can make me earn a lot of money again!
Of course, it's not just the government's connections that matter, sometimes the money you throw away can give you extra surprises! Ten years ago, the world financial crisis, I invested in the stock market 800 million evaporated overnight, when I still had a more than 1 billion real estate project under construction in the provincial capital, the stock market suffered a huge loss, so that the company's liquidity plummeted, many projects are facing a state of suspension, helpless, I personally went out, borrowed from the bank everywhere, due to the economic downturn at that time, the amount of loans was huge, almost all the banks rejected my application, I was almost desperate at that time.
But things finally took a turn for the better, a bank executive heard about my matter, took the initiative to contact me, to my company to provide a loan of nearly one billion, it is by this money, my company survived the financial crisis, and with our domestic real estate boom, I also made a lot of money, but Mr. Qin, do you know why the executives of this bank dare to take such a big risk and lend me money?
"This, maybe you're optimistic about your development, right?" Qin Dong replied.
"Hehe, in fact, later the executive told me at the banquet that he was willing to lend me money at that time, he said that his family used to live in Heyang, the family was very poor, if it was not for the subsidy funds I provided for poor college students back then, he might have dropped out of high school, so he can have today's position and achievements, and I was willing to help back then!" Gao Jian said this, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: " In fact, to be honest, if he hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered that I had set up such a subsidy fund......"
"I kind of get it. When Qin Dong heard this, his face was also a little moved, and he only heard him say: "You hope that our Yinghao Middle School can support and cultivate more potential high-achieving students, so that they can repay the favor in the future." ”
"It's not that simple. Gao Jian shook his head and said, "Actually, I have a bigger goal. ”
"What goal?"
"When our Yinghao High School was just built, most of my business was limited to the province, but with the development of this school in the past few years, I have been able to do my business in most provinces in the country, even abroad! Gao Jian said this, smiled, and continued: " This school is an invisible communication platform, which makes my circle of friends spread all over the country's business community, and as this circle grows bigger and bigger, more and more friends from the business and political circles send their children here. ”
"Understood, this is indeed a good move, in the final analysis, I am just a teacher in my life, and many things are not in the senior director's clear...... " At this time, Principal Qin took off his glasses and wiped them, and sighed.
"As for the special enrollment that I provide financial support, they were originally used by me to enhance the popularity and influence of our Yinghao High School, take this time I decided to use 20 million to poach these two students from the Locomotive Factory Middle School, mainly because I heard that the National Mathematics Olympiad will start next month, if I rely on these two strong 'foreign aid' to win the national competition in one fell swoop, do you think my 20 million is worth it?" Gao Jian asked Principal Qin.
"Worth it! Of course it's worth it!" In the final analysis, although Qin Dong has read books all his life, his brain is not old and stiff, so he only heard him say: "If these two students, especially that Duan Yun, can really help our school win awards, our Yinghao Middle School will become a role model in the national education industry, which can't be exchanged for advertising no amount of money!"
"That's right, and even if these students can't win the national championship, they are all rare talents, and I will find a way to absorb them into my company in the future, which is what we call truly people-oriented!"
"Hehe, Chairman Gao, I, Qin Dong, don't like to pat other people's sycophants in my life, but I want to say one word to you today, Gao!" Qin Dong said, giving Gao Jian a thumbs up.
"Hahaha. When Gao Jian heard this, he laughed twice, then turned his head to his assistant He Xue and said, "Xiao He, this matter will be left to you." ”
"Yes!" He Xue nodded, turned around and left the conference room.
