Chapter 49: Generation and Entrepreneurship (I)
Seeing that the topic unconsciously shifted to himself, Zhang Cheng said that it was not embarrassing, it was fake, but seeing that the eyes of the whole class were full of expectations, he swallowed back the words that he wanted to refuse.
"Then I'll just say a little briefly, please forgive me for not preparing in advance. Knowing that it was not easy to refuse, Zhang Cheng simply agreed.
"Let's give some applause, everyone!" Seeing that Zhang Cheng agreed, the teacher immediately began to create an atmosphere.
Whether it was sincere or coaxing, the students all clapped their hands cooperatively.
There are still a large number of people in this group who want to choose entrepreneurship after graduation, they are now fearless, full of confidence, everyone feels that their ideas and products can be successful, and a successful story and example of entrepreneurship is a stimulant.
Because of the experience of a press conference, Zhang Cheng stood on the podium and looked at the crowd without much nervousness, he first widened his voice, and took a posture to prepare to start the so-called off-script speech.
"I've heard that speeches now have to be in this posture. Zhang Cheng's first sentence made the big classroom burst into laughter.
Accustomed to those old-fashioned, old-fashioned and serious class atmosphere, what Zhang Cheng says now is more like a clear stream, which is very happy!
Although those teachers and professors will also make a few jokes from time to time to adjust the tense atmosphere of the class, the effect is γγγγγγ
After all, three years of ditches, this is a big river, what effect can it have?
"I was relieved to see everyone laughing, in fact, we should laugh more at our age, we are still young, if we want to have good ideas, good products should be in a relatively relaxed environment, which helps to relax our brains!" Zhang Cheng began to go straight to the point after easing the atmosphere of the classroom.
"I'm the same as everyone else, born under the red flag, grew up in New China, as a member of the post-90s army, in fact, I have always had all kinds of troubles like everyone;
As soon as Zhang Cheng's words were finished, many people's sense of identity was aroused, and it is true that the current public opinion of the post-90s generation is positioned as "self"; as a young man with thoughts in the new era, they will never accept such an evaluation; and now Zhang Cheng's explanation makes them very happy.
"Some people say that compared with the post-80s, we have not experienced a sense of material deprivation, so we lack a sense of identity for the struggle of the post-80s, we do not agree with this; compared to the post-80s, we are under greater pressure after the 90s, prices are soaring, housing prices are soaring, and the college entrance examination army is also increasing year by year, and the post-80s entrepreneurial opportunity is far better than ours, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is basically impossible to buy a house in the core area of the first-tier cities in the future only by our own efforts. β
"It's realistic, but it's true, but it's undeniable that we post-90s generations are passionate, patriotic, and impulsive, you may say that this is a merit, but I want to tell you that it means that you are still very young, and the world always belongs to young people, isn't it?" This explanation was a little awkward, but Zhang Cheng's subsequent words made everyone present understand.
Of course, this is a simple joke, in fact, I want to say that every era is the best era, the opportunity has always existed, the key is how you grasp it, and for the public opinion of the society, we must know how to listen, but also selectively forget, impulsiveness is not a bad thing, but courage and wisdom must also be necessary. Zhang Cheng seems to be saying that this is completely unrelated to entrepreneurship, but in fact, he is vaguely conveying some things that entrepreneurship needs and needs to pay attention to.
As for the above words, Zhang Cheng is not nonsense, for example, the question of "whether people born after the 90s will never be able to buy a house of their own in the core area of a first-tier city" has caused a lot of discussion on Zhihu;
I remember that there was an answer full of post-90s humor at that time, which won the approval of many people.
"Some unlucky people didn't have long eyes and scared away under the wheel of history, and some even worse unlucky people were born under the wheel of history!"
"Some people may be curious, why don't I just talk about my entrepreneurial experience, here I really want to say a few words for myself, I don't know when I seem to become a representative of successful entrepreneurs. β
As soon as Zhang Cheng said this, the classmates in the seat all coaxed: "You are~"
"Okay, okay, I'll admit it, but you really don't want me to say anything about the so-called experience, you need to pay attention, the experience of a successful entrepreneur like a better choice can never be applied to anyone, take Bill Gates as an example, can you guarantee that one of your parents is the boss of a top 100 law firm, and the other is a member of the board of directors of IBM? Buffett won't tell you that his father was a member of Congress, right?"
"Say something real, realistic, the background of your parents, the network will be one of the very important cornerstones on the road to your entrepreneurial success; if your family background is good enough, and there is a relationship that can be used, then congratulations you are a big step forward from the success of entrepreneurship, at this time you only need a good idea, good copywriting, no accident will have a happy ending; may be at this time some students are going to ask, my family background is average, the ancestors of the three generations are farmers and there is no reliable relationship what to do?"
"It's actually very simple, you need to learn to cooperate or give up, the former you need to seek like-minded friends, partners, persistence is your only way out, maybe the outcome is full of uncertainty, but this is another kind of wealth for you. Zhang Cheng's throat was really dry when he said this, and he poured a whole bottle of water before continuing.
If it's the latter, it's a good choice, don't always feel like you're the pride of heaven, the chosen one or something, it will only appear in fiction, never be arrogant, choose to give up looking for a job to improve your family, accumulate experience, contacts, knowledge, and start a business at the right time, which is also a good choice. β
"Sometimes it doesn't work to think too much, the key is what you do next, maybe some people feel enthusiastic after listening to me and want to try it immediately, here I want to say a piece of advice, entrepreneurship needs perseverance, it is far more difficult than you think, that kind of loneliness, that kind of frustration, that kind of frustrationγγγγγγ β
