Chapter 609: A Hundred Years of Planning (11)
"This question should be addressed to Governor Qi, and I will read it to you. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qi Tianxiang raised the note in his hand and said to everyone with a smile: "What is your opinion on college students' entrepreneurship, how should college students choose their own positioning, and how to realize their own value?" ”
Qi Tianxiang spoke, glanced at the note in his hand, and said approvingly: "Look at this fresh and beautiful hand, it seems to be from the hand of a girl, the so-called words are like their people, from this font, you can guess that this should be a serious, meticulous, and beautiful girl." Let's not ask this girl to stand up and meet with you, because I firmly believe that such a talented and beautiful girl should be the characteristic of all female students in our River University, and there is no need to deliberately refer to a certain person. ”
Qi Tianxiang's good-natured joke triggered a burst of laughter in the classroom, accompanied by cheerful applause. Qi Tianxiang looked at the excited expressions of his classmates with satisfaction, waved his hand gently, and said with a generous smile: "Jokes are jokes, or books are back to business, I will answer this question now." However, I would like to state in advance that I will only express my opinion from the perspective of a father and a professor, and I will not express my opinion as a provincial governor. Because I don't want to say these high-sounding official words, and you may not be willing to listen to them, don't waste your time today. ”
"Mass entrepreneurship and innovation, this is the requirement of the times, but also the necessity of social progress, which is beyond reproach at any time. Innovation and entrepreneurship should always be the driving force for development, and should be respected and concerned by the government and society. Qi Tianxiang entered the essence of the problem, his expression became serious, and he said slowly but seriously: "The key points of innovation and entrepreneurship are in one creation, thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and the vast ocean trickles together, nothing can be without a source, nor can it be achieved overnight by just a sentence or a movement-like impulse." ”
Qi Tianxiang looked at the students in the classroom, softened his tone, and continued gently: "This is back to the identity I just mentioned, and it is also necessary to introduce my son, who studied economic management at school, has graduated from a university in Beijing, and is now a grassroots staff member of a group company in Beijing, engaged in the management of logistics sites. He also had the urge to start a business, but for his future, my attitude is very clear, he can only rely on his own efforts to grow, I only focus on not interfering, let alone give him the necessary convenience. ”
"Maybe some students may not believe it very much, thinking that I am consciously downplaying this issue, as the son of the governor, a second generation of officials who are envied by many people, having a good job or a good future should be a matter of minutes, and it is not a problem at all. Needless to say, this is really not a problem, but it is a difficult problem in our family, I don't want to destroy my own principles for him, and he doesn't want to rely on Lao Tzu to take the position, it's as simple as that. Qi Tianxiang heard the whispers of his classmates, looked at everyone calmly and said gently: "A few years ago, when he just graduated, he proposed to open a logistics management company with his classmates, and came back to discuss with me. In fact, it was a discussion, that is, there was no doubt about the report, and the intention was to seek my consent and give him the necessary financial support. ”
Qi Tianxiang's calm narration attracted the attention of the students, who were all thinking about how Qi Tianxiang would answer, and were also waiting for the answer. Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly, and said bluntly: "I didn't agree easily, let alone simply deny, but took out a blank piece of paper, listing the problems of industry and commerce, taxation, labor, cost control, as well as health, safety, fire protection, as well as streets, traffic, public security, as well as fund management, cash flow reserves, equity division, etc., and gave it to him, so that he could give me a basic answer." He watched for a while, and our conversation ended, a total of only twenty minutes, as a result, he voted for a group company logistics resume, three years have not mentioned the company, I know that he will open his own company, whether it is logistics, or Internet finance company, and at that time, I will definitely give him the necessary financial support, because he is ready. ”
"This is my attitude as a father, supporting but not blind, and not setting any goals for myself, after all, my son has entered the society, he will have his own thinking and path, what I need to do is the necessary reminder, and the rest does not need to worry too much." Qi Tianxiang looked at the students with concern, and continued in an amicable tone: "This example is to illustrate the distance between theory and practice, isn't there such a popular discourse among students? "The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny", whether plump or skinny, it is a reality, and I also know that many of the students here have the idea of starting a business, and also have the urge to put it into practice, but I just want to give these students with dreams a reminder, are you ready to start a business? ”
Qi Tianxiang's expression became calm, and he looked at his classmates and said slowly: "There is a lyric that says well, anyone with a dream is great, which seems to show that success only requires hard work." But this is all one side of a coin, and the other side is not so perfect, and even a little unsatisfactory, that is, the cruelty of real life, which cannot be sung. ”
"Nine years of compulsory education, three years of high school education, and if you add four years of college, the age of twenty-two or three, school life occupies most of the time. In addition to chasing ducks to the shelf, you are basically out of touch with social life, and most of you are only children, and the care of your family and the care of society make you like seedlings in a greenhouse, growing tall and big, but whether you are strong is another problem. Qi Tianxiang did not avoid the eyes of the students, and said frankly: "The perception that this society gives you, in addition to the influence of film and television, is the transmission of the Internet, as well as the inducement of some success books, as well as the appearance of some so-called successful people, it seems that the success of others can be easily copied, and I don't see the other side of this society at all, that is, it is very realistic, and sometimes it is very cruel and ruthless." ”
Qi Tianxiang felt the change in the students' expressions, as if his frank words had stimulated their self-esteem and despised their pride. This is Qi Tianxiang had thought of the possible results before he said this, but he was confident that he had the ability to solve the crisis, after all, these problems were like a fish in his throat, and if he didn't say it, he was not only sorry for himself, but also sorry for the children in front of him who were not deeply involved in the world.
"These words may sound a little harsh to the students, or they may be difficult to accept for a while, it doesn't matter, time can verify all this." Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly, looked at the students gently, and said: "Let's take opening a hotel as an example, this is not necessarily the favorite choice of many students, but compared with some high-tech companies or Internet companies, opening a hotel is the simplest and closest to real life company." ”
Qi Tianxiang's words were more gentle, and the expression on his face was also full of kindness and gentleness, and he crossed his fingers and continued: "Site selection and positioning are the first issues that should be considered. If these problems are not solved, a hotel may have hidden dangers at the beginning of its opening, and it has also brought many difficulties. ”
"Small restaurants have thin profits, large hotels have large investments, and restaurants with thin margins need to save labor costs as much as possible, except for chefs, everything needs to be done by themselves. Purchasing, helpers, cashiers, waiters, cleaning, these things that you usually disdain, you need to do it yourself, and the small boss who looks like an infinite scenery is actually not as good as a helper. Although Qi Tianxiang was saying it seriously, without the slightest hint of ridicule, it still caused everyone to laugh, and these slightly bitter laughter made Qi Tianxiang laugh, but then he said seriously: "This is not a joke, this is reality, and it is also a challenge that every college student who wants to start a business needs to face, not only to challenge intelligence, but also to challenge endurance and psychological quality, and not because you are a college student." ”
Qi Tianxiang didn't wait for any reaction from his classmates, so he sped up his speech and continued: "What I'm talking about is still a relatively easy industry, there are no threshold restrictions, no qualification requirements, and no professional skills are required. However, in this relatively simple industry, it also has to deal with the industrial and commercial and taxation departments, as well as with public security, health, and urban management, as well as the approval and approval of the Food and Drug Administration and the epidemic prevention department. Any of these great gods and young generals in all aspects, if you don't deal with them carelessly, may overturn you in the gutter, and all your efforts will come to naught. ”
"Maybe some students have different ideas, thinking that they have a flexible mind and a superior IQ, and can engage in high-tech or high-tech research and development work, and use their wisdom to earn the first pot of gold in their lives. Such an idea is admirable, but it is not realistic. Qi Tianxiang glanced at Han Fangquan with a sideways face, and said with a slight smile: "In the past, there was an old saying that 'the learned literary and martial arts are sold to the emperor's family', which is very realistic, that is, only useful can be valuable." Imagine what can make people shine today, or what is a practical new technology, without being proven, has huge social needs and economic value, and can attract a large amount of financial support, or venture capital investment without returns. I don't doubt the creativity and entrepreneurial enthusiasm of the students, I only doubt the purpose and patience of the investors, or their motivation, and I am more worried about the possible effect of the project, the plants that can withstand the harsh winter have the opportunity to see the spring of the next year, which is not the reason for the vitality of the plants themselves, but the energy to accumulate to withstand the harsh winter. That's what I said, college students start a business, are you ready? ”
