131 Happiness buys money
Having children and not having children can be said to be two different worlds.
Ankang often hears the remark that "only when a man has his own children will he really mature".
He was never dismissive of it: jokes! Without children, will a man not be able to mature for the rest of his life? There are many men who have children but are very naΓ―ve.
However, when Ankang really had a child, he really realized the truth of that sentence. Of course, he added a definite phrase "responsible" to that sentence - "only when he has his own children, a responsible man will really mature".
In order to take care of Nanhuayu and take care of his son, Ankang learned a lot of housekeeping and parenting knowledge very devotedly. Ankang has grown from a man who can cook to a widely respected first-class chef. He grew from a man who couldn't even change diapers to a parenting expert.
So much so that if the children of colleagues and friends have any problems, they will ask Ankang for help. Ankang is not only an expert in parenting, but is even invited to the homes of colleagues and friends to teach how to burp and how to put babies to sleep.
"I, a well-known investor, have been sharpened by life to become a confinement lady." Ankang once visited a friend of Lang Zhang's joy and went home and said to Nanhuayu.
Nanhuayu smiled: "Isn't it a popular slash youth now?" It's not enough to have a slash, it depends on who can slant more. It's also an honor for you to add the identity of a gold medal nursery to the slash of a well-known investor. β
"Hey, hey, hey. The lady has a point. I'm going to get a nursery certificate. In the future, when you encounter a financial cycle, you can also work as a nanny for a rich person to earn money to support your family. β
Nan Yanyu said: "Why didn't you think about opening a high-end confinement center or housekeeping company when the economy was in a downturn." β
"Oh, too. I also say that I am a well-known investor. Just thinking about earning a salary, the passion for entrepreneurship is not as good as yours. β
"What's wrong with my entrepreneurial passion not as good as mine? I'm not the kind of woman in ancient times who had long hair and short knowledge, and only knew the shortness of her family. β
An Kang patted Nan Yanyu's shoulder: "Ms. Nan, just say this to you, you will definitely have a great future in the future." Well done! β
"I am a white-boned spirit in the workplace, and I have been sharpened by life to become a housewife."
"Don't say that. It's all about cultivating an heir to our family's billions of wealth. In the future, we will be able to travel around the world with light clouds and breezes. β
"Talking about billions of dollars all day long. Where is the wealth? β
An Kang smiled: "Don't worry. It will take another twenty years to raise an heir. In 20 years, hundreds of millions of fortunes will definitely be placed in front of you. β
"Then should I say that I wake up laughing every day when I dream."
"It's nice to wake up laughing. Money can't buy happiness, but happiness can buy money. β
"I haven't heard of that. Says who. β
"Contemptible!"
During pregnancy, Nanhuayu repeatedly instilled in Ankang the idea that children who are missing their fathers will face psychological shadows when they grow up. This indoctrination really worked well. Therefore, Ankang has basically not been missing in the more than a year that the child has grown.
The healthy family has basically become more and more harmonious after the adjustment period after the addition of new members.
However, the harmony of the family only stabilizes the rear of Ankang, and the front line is always under fire.
Shopping malls are like battlefields. This sentence can be described as extremely incisive.
All the tranquility is nothing more than brewing for another battle.
After several years of communication with the management departments of Zhangjiang and Waigaoqiao, Ankang finally established a government-enterprise cooperation platform with them. This cooperation platform is backed by the government and based on government support funds, and the main purpose of this cooperation platform is to support young people to start their own businesses.
The fund established by Ankang to support college students and young people to start their own businesses has left an excellent impression on the government department. Therefore, the government-enterprise cooperation platform was handed over to the company to operate.
As an executive agency, Comes looks for projects that meet the government's policy guidance on the one hand, and allocates resources and funds for start-ups on the other.
After half a year of implementation, both sides of the service are very satisfied with this platform.
Just as all parties were preparing to increase their support for the platform, an unexpected but reasonable thing happened.
Ankang's old opponent Zhou Mingfeng reappeared. He adopted the same model as Ankang, on the one hand, he asked the government for resources, subsidies, and tax reduction policies, and on the other hand, the packaging project received government support funds. Zhou Mingfeng then took a cut of the funds obtained from the project.
Of course, Ankang also takes a cut, but he takes a reasonable operating expense. This fee represents only 2 per cent of the total amount of funds. This is also equivalent to the fund management fee.
Zhou Mingfeng is different, and the part he extracts often accounts for more than 50% of the total funds. According to Zhou Mingfeng, all projects are the same. This project can get support funds and the other project can't, the difference is in the packaging and operation. His company is responsible for the most critical part, so it makes sense to take the lion's share.
Moreover, the government's money is not taken for nothing. If the project is not handed over to Zhou Mingfeng to operate, he may not get a penny. You can get at least 50% of it if you run it. Why not?
Ankang does not disagree with Zhou Mingfeng's views. You will be rewarded for your work. However, what Ankang does not agree with is that Zhou Mingfeng stretched out his magic hand to those young people who are full of entrepreneurial passion in order to make a profit.
Ankang knows a lot about young people who are starting businesses. There are many people who come out to start their own businesses, and there are many bitter stories behind them. They are often not starting a business alone, but a family, and some are even a family or a village in their hometown.
Everyone knows that entrepreneurship is risky, and everyone knows that entrepreneurship may not be successful, but everyone hopes to meet real mentors in the process of entrepreneurship who can guide them to realize their dreams. Instead of encountering a mercenary investor or broker.
Such an investor or broker's behavior can greatly affect the mentality of young entrepreneurs. Let them focus less on the vision of the company and the project and more on funding. In the long run, these young entrepreneurs may eventually fall into the same mentality as Zhou Mingfeng - mercenary.
In more than ten years of investment and entrepreneurship, Ankang understands that the company is for profit. However, if the company's founders had the sole goal of making money, the company wouldn't have gone far. Money doesn't necessarily lead to dreams, but dreams often lead to unexpected money.
This is just like Ankang said, "Money can't buy happiness, but happiness can buy money".
As an entrepreneurial mentor, Ankang is not only helping young entrepreneurs, but also doing research on entrepreneurial behavior and mentality. From the cases he has collected himself, he has seen many vivid examples.
Money may impress you, but it can't impress your investors.
