Chapter 30: The Birth of the Elite Association
In the school office of Hudong University, Zhang Zhenyi frowned slightly, obviously a little hesitant, the night before yesterday in the playground of Hudong University, he did waste a lot of thoughts, to say that those media reports are not impossible, but they have not been able to understand this young man's mind, in his opinion, a university, although it is a graduate of a well-known university like Hudong University, is not worth his effort to do such a job, but in the long run, Zhang Zhenyi has already used Hudong University as a platform and base for communication, and it is precisely this that he is confused about now.
"Mr. Zhang, this is the documents and materials sent to you by President Wang and Professor Zeng of Hudong University, we are ready to sign a contract with them, the specific details have been discussed yesterday, but there are still some questions that need to ask your opinion, President Wang of Hudong University's opinion is to ask you to recommend a representative of the school committee."
Wang Yilin raised his eyebrows, he could only blame this president for being so imageless, Zhang Zhen seemed to have just woken up, and he didn't look like a president at all, and the most strange thing was that he even wore his clothes backwards, which had to make Wang Yilin distressed, and I was afraid that this Mr. Zhang could only be managed by those few people.
"Mr. Zhang, should you go and wash up, we are about to meet with President Wang and Professor Zeng, this time do you plan to meet them in a private capacity or as the president of the group?"
However, Zhang Zhenyi thought that he didn't hear half of it, and actually lay down from the sofa, he was extremely relieved about Wang Yilin, a woman who was not interested in him at all, and with Wang Yilin's qualifications and age, it was time for him to quit his post and enter the front line, but he had not yet found a reasonable successor.
As the president of Weishi Group, in fact, it is not easy for Zhang Zhenyi to find an assistant to the president, not only personality but also academic ability and temperament are extremely important, and almost everyone knows that anyone who can become Zhang Zhenyi's assistant to the president will inevitably become an executive of Weishi Group in the future, which has basically become a law.
"Okay, okay, I know the housekeeper. You just have to prepare the things that you want to use for a while, you are fully responsible for this matter, I have actually read the document yesterday, there seems to be no change here at Hudong University, so let's tell Professor Zeng to ask him to recommend a student to come, preferably a graduate level student, and let this student be responsible for our writing work in the next few days, if the ability is okay. In the future, he will be in charge of the liaison affairs of the business school. When the time comes, you solve the problem of his establishment. Let's absorb it directly into the group and be an observer of the group here. ”
Zhang Zhenyi pondered for a long time before he remembered what he should do, it turned out that there was a lack of a person to do clerical work, and a new college for joint training of managers was established. This is actually a trivial matter for Zhang Zhenyi, basically Hudong University can completely solve it, but Zhang Zhenyi attaches great importance to this matter, he does not just want to engage in a formal cooperation project, but indirectly to his own group to get a talent introduction and cultivation base, of course, as the most important talent needed by Weishi Group still has to go through the test of the group, but Zhang Zhenyi knows that an advanced talent cultivation base is not so simple to build.
Among the most successful companies in the world. The General Motors Group of the United States is not hesitating to be a model in this regard, and it is also a model that no one can surpass, and according to statistics, it is not surprising that the vast majority of people who come out of the General Motors Group have gone on to become presidents and executives of some other well-known companies in the world.
It's not just generic. In the history of education in the United States, it can be known that students who graduated from Yale University have successively founded Columbia University, Princeton University, Johns Hopkins University, Cornell University, University of Chicago and other world-famous universities or become the first presidents of these universities.
Therefore, in Zhang Zhenyi's view, the business school he wants to establish is not the kind of institution that is to jointly train students with Hudong University, but a business temperament that can inherit the business temperament of Weishi Group and integrate it into education, so as to cultivate batches of young entrepreneurs or scholars who can promote the overall progress of the country's business and financial industry. The fate of the individual depends entirely on personal choice, and he does not intend to make everyone a world-renowned scholar.
But in any case, in his view, an excellent scholar must be rich in practical experience, not a person who talks generally, in the management circle, whether it is the management master Peter Drucker or the previous Fayol and other bulls, all of them have gone through rich practice to be able to make great achievements in the discipline of management, so Zhang Zhenyi also believes that such practical scholars can also be born in this land of China.
Not only that, in fact, in the world, this has long been proven, although Zhang Zhenyi mentioned in his graduation speech that night that not all people can become the next Bill Gates or surpass him Zhang Zhenyi, but he also told those graduates a clear conclusion, that is, since they have not graduated students can make such great achievements, then these high-achieving students who have obtained the best quality higher education should achieve the desired achievements.
The inevitable path to success is to pay and have the courage to practice, this is something that Zhang Zhenyi has repeatedly emphasized, of course, how many people are listening to Zhang Zhenyi does not care, he only knows that he is about to cultivate students with Hudong University, if he cannot be recognized in practice, I am afraid it will be difficult to graduate.
"Also, Mr. Zhang, this time you came to Shanghai City news Shanghai City Government has known, they called earlier to ask, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Zheng and Mayor Huang both have asked when you have time, they may invite you to the city government to take a trip, I heard that there is a group of domestic entrepreneurs are about to hold an entrepreneur gathering in Shanghai City, it should be that they know that you are here, want to invite you through the official concept of Shanghai City, how do you see this matter arranged?"
Wang Yilin wanted to laugh slightly, because she didn't need to ask Zhang Zhenyi to know the result of this matter, this is simply someone sent a pillow just after falling asleep, the purpose of this time to come to Shanghai, Zhang Zhenyi is not only to reach this agreement with Hudong University, but also for this entrepreneur gathering.
As early as when Zhang Zhenyi was still in control of the Carrefour Group, in fact, he had joined the so-called Global Chinese Entrepreneurs Association under the pull of the Li family and the rest of the families on Hong Kong Island, that is, the high-end private club at the beginning, but as time went by, Zhang Zhenyi became more and more aware of the decline in the quality of this association, because with more and more people joining, this originally demanding rich club has become more and more vulgar, which makes him a little disgusted, and a few years ago, in view of Zhang Zhenyi's withdrawal, The association has gradually become somewhat dispensable.
The most important thing is that when he joined the association, he also controlled a part of the shares, and when he withdrew, he also paid a lot of fees for it, but for him this is a negligible number after all, but for others this is tantamount to a thunderbolt, because after that, many giant families began to withdraw one after another, even the Li family on Hong Kong Island decisively threw out the shares in their hands, for them, with the status of Zhang Zhenyi to withdraw, I am afraid that this half-dead organization will not be able to be saved, which has to make their hearts tremble, and they will withdraw immediately.
The end result of this is that this association, which was originally praised and cared for by Chinese people around the world, suddenly collapsed, and Zhang Zhenyi knew that the Li family on Hong Kong Island had been trying to start anew and re-establish a new elite association.
In his opinion, this is undoubtedly a very good opportunity.
