Ankang doesn't have such thoughts because he is too idle, nor does he have such thoughts because God is chattering. He has seen too many examples of losing dreams, goals, and finally the team being separated because of his entrepreneurial investment over the years.

Starting a company is to make money, but if you take making money as a dream and rely on making money to attract talents, sooner or later you will hit a wall. Because there will always be good projects that are more profitable than what they are doing now, and there will always be good platforms that are more profitable than the current company. A company that aims to make money cannot be sustainable for a long time.

The vision is virtual, but it can also be realized. Whether it is real or virtual does not depend on the vision itself, but on people's perception and perception of the vision.

Of course, there are also some visions that seem to be very logical and seem great, but when actually implemented, they will lead to deviations. And the greatness attached to it eventually becomes a chicken feather.

There are many embarrassing examples.

There is a kind of startup that has a vision that is a little bigger than making money. This vision is to help my relatives and friends live a good life.

This kind of thinking is naturally extremely natural, this logic is naturally extremely correct, but this kind of vision is sometimes even more terrifying than the vision of making money.

What's so scary?

It's scary everywhere.

First of all, what is a good day? What you think is a good day is what others think is a good day? Is the good day you believe in the good day that others always believe in?

Secondly, it is used to inspire the vision of the company for partners and employees, and why it serves people who are not related to them.

Again, why help your relatives and friends to have a good life, instead of helping your venture partners, employees of the company to have a good life?

Ankang has come across this kind of living example. A bitter child from a rural area came all the way to Shanghai to work with his fellow villagers. While moving bricks on a construction site, the bitter boy happened to hear a co-worker tell the story of how his fellow villager made a sand and gravel business on the construction site. So the bitter boy went to work in the worker's hometown's company, and slowly learned about the doorway in the sand and gravel business.

In the end, this bitter boy pulled a group of people to work alone. He himself is responsible for contacting buyers, and the others are responsible for looking for sand sources and digging sand.

The career is getting bigger and bigger, and the bitter child slowly becomes a sweet child. When he finally lived his so-called good life one day, he arranged his relatives and friends into the company, gave high-ranking officials and generous gifts, hoping to let his relatives and friends live a good life in this way.

This sweet kid never hides his original intention of getting relatives and friends into the company. In several conflicts of interest, the partners who started the early business left him and had their own businesses. And when this discovers that relatives and friends in high positions simply don't have the ability to take over the position of an early business partner, the sweet child is kidnapped by the vision he made at the beginning.

Under the competition of the original entrepreneurial partners, Sweet Child's career is withering day by day. However, this is not the most painful for him. The most painful thing is that his so-called good days are not the good days that his relatives and friends think.

Sweet children may think that having a 70 or 80 square meter house in a big city and a car with 100,000 yuan is considered a good life. However, his relatives and friends who could only solve the problem of food and clothing at the beginning regarded the tens of millions of villas and million-level sports cars as a good life.

Relatives and friends who did not have a good life were unwilling, so they used their power to grab their own benefits from the company.

In the end, Sweet Kid had to sell his house, his car, and quickly shut down the company he started to avoid a growing debt hole.

The relatives and friends of the sweet child have since lived the good life that the sweet child thinks, and the sweet child has once again become a bitter child. After his wife was separated, he returned to the ranks of migrant workers.

During the period when the bitter child was working, it was not that there was no opportunity to start a business, and it was not that there were like-minded people who invited him to start a business together, but the bitter child shook his head and refused.

During the period when Ankang was working as a bitter child, he once invited him to eat together. With a bottle of wine in his stomach, Ankang thought he would have something to confide in him, but he didn't. He was like all the migrant workers who had just come to Shanghai from the countryside, his face was full of ignorance and fearlessness.

Ankang knew that he was not fearless, that he had shielded all the things that dreaded him from his life. Now he walks alone on a construction site. There is no career ambition, nor is there a wife and children.

Is this considered a birth? Is this detachment?

Ankang didn't know.

But since then, Ankang has understood the importance of vision, the importance of a pragmatic vision.

This time I went to Anhui for research, Ankang mainly wanted to understand the local governments at all levels of understanding of the integration of the Yangtze River Delta region and what kind of measures they will take next, what kind of plans and specific policies they have for the transfer of the industrial chain in the future, what kind of industries and entrepreneurs they intend to attract, and what types of investors and funds they will welcome.

Doing this kind of research in the middle of your career is very necessary for Ankang. Because although Ankang is already a well-known investor, he does not need to do it himself, but he still adheres to the habit of going to the front line to collect data and information when he was an intern in an investment company. He believes that the authenticity of the information can only be determined if the first-hand information is in his own hands.

The day-to-day operations of Kangmosi Investment Company were completely left to Wu Mo to manage, while Ankang drove his own car, wandering around like a tourist on a road trip. To this end, Ankang also specially bought a new BMW X5 off-road vehicle.

Ankang also hopes to take this opportunity to go to Anhui to experience Hui culture and Hui architecture. Regarding Hui culture and Hui architecture, Ankang had already been infected by Lin Mushuang when he was young.

Lin Mushuang once invited An Kang to go to Anhui with her to sketch. This plan is either because Lin Mushuang is preparing for the exam by herself, or because of Ankang's course internship, which has dragged on for several years. It was not made until Lin Mushuang died.

This time, Ankang can be regarded as a wish from 20 years ago, so Lin Mushuang went to her favorite place to have a look. For Ankang himself, it is a mentality of going on a pilgrimage to a holy place.

Because in China's modern history, the Hui merchants, like the Jin merchants, were the two main forces that influenced the lifeblood of China's economy. They walked on the land of China and left a strong mark in China's financial history.

In those high-walled compounds with white walls and black tiles in Anhui, I don't know how many hidden dragons and how many crouching tigers have been born, and I don't know how many figures have had a major impact on politicians in Beijing and financiers in Shanghai.

After a while, those people and things have been sealed in history, and only the Hui architecture and culture remain.
