“Wealth is the compensation of knowledge, not the reward of industry.”In the study, Chen Guohua was chatting with his three grandsons. When talking about the entrepreneurship of his eldest grandson Chen Ce, Chen Guohua mentioned this sentence.
Chen Guohua did not have a very high understanding of doing business, but in front of Chen Ce and the other little guys, it was obviously enough, even far beyond that.
“There is a saying that you can never earn more wealth than you know.”
"Just like you, Chen Ce. If you didn't have that kind of knowledge, you wouldn't have been exposed to foreign trade, nor would you have known the situation in Moscow, let alone thought of going there to trade."
“If you put money and bones in front of a dog, the dog will choose the bones because it doesn’t know that money can buy more bones. If you put a book and a game console in front of you, you will choose the game.”
"Human nature is lazy. No one likes boring learning, so many people choose game consoles."
"Because game consoles can bring you temporary happiness, but you don't know that they can also weaken your will."
"So your level of cognition determines the upper limit of your wealth. As far as earning wealth is concerned, hard work alone won't make you rich, but it will be enough to support your family."
"To make a lot of money, you need brains, vision and experience. Without the means to do anything, how can you make a fortune? And you can't keep it either."
After talking about a lot of profound truths, Chen Guohua stopped talking when he saw that the three children still seemed to not understand.
Chen Ce, the eldest grandson, is smart and courageous enough, but we still need to keep an eye on his situation from time to time to prevent him from becoming a runaway horse.
Just recently, when we went to Siberia to hunt tigers, we got into trouble.
If Chen Guohua hadn't happened to notice him that day and learned that he was being chased, he would have dispatched a drone immediately.
In fact, according to the capabilities of Zhang Keshi and his group, it should not be a big problem to deal with a KGB team of 30 people.
However, that place was the KGB’s headquarters, so even if Zhang Keshi and his men killed those thirty people, there would definitely be pursuers behind them.
Therefore, Chen Guohua ordered drones to take off from the northeast and carry out long-range strikes across a distance of one thousand kilometers.
Logically speaking, as long as the drones take off from the northeast and enter Siberia, they will definitely be discovered, but in fact, these drones are all standard stealth aircraft.
Stealth aircraft are not just standard for fighter jets, drones are also designed to be stealth.
And compared with stealth fighters, stealth drones are easier to make invisible and have better concealment effects.
As early as 1968, Chen Guohua had already established the stealth fighter project. After entering the 1980s, stealth drones also began to develop.
The remotely controlled stealth drone was able to move freely in the Siberian primeval forest and only returned after successfully completing the mission at the fastest speed.
Chen Ce and his friends didn't even know that the tail behind them was killed by a drone.
"Grandpa, if I also want to make money, what else can I do now?"
After thinking for a while, the little guy Chen Qi suddenly asked this question.
He was very honest and knew that he could not do anything now, but he still couldn't help but raise his doubts.
Chen Qi, born in 1984, is a relatively inconspicuous member of the fourth generation of the Chen family.
Above him, there is an extremely dazzling cousin, Chen Ce. Especially in recent times, Chen Ce has become the focus of discussion among the adults in the family.
His cousin Chen Zhongshou, who is three months younger than him, is similar to Chen Ce. They are both mathematical geniuses with great talent.
As for himself, he feels like a waste and has relatively low self-esteem at home.
Of course, this is just his own idea.
Chen Guohua cares very much for his three grandchildren, and is also concerned about their physical and mental health, and studies.
Perhaps Chen Qi is not as good as the brothers Chen Ce and Chen Zhongshou, but in the eyes of other peers, Chen Qi is also a little genius.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that his father Chen An likes to stay in the laboratory and rarely takes care of the little guy Chen Qi, which makes the little guy less confident.
As his mother, Han Nian was dedicated and fulfilled her responsibilities and obligations as a mother, and taught him very well.
It’s just that Chen Qi always compares himself with the Chen Ce brothers, so this is the source of his lack of confidence.
Take the question he just asked for example. Chen Guohua knew the little guy's purpose very well. He probably had imagined countless times in his mind how to start a business in the future.
"Xiao Qi, you are all still very young, there is no need to think about making money."
After thinking for a while, Chen Guohua said:
"Of course, if you think making money has a big impact on you, then you can think about it on your own. Just treat it as an extracurricular assignment and think about it yourself."
"I won't give you any help. How much you earn depends on your own ability and capability."
"As for how to make money and where to start, you can think about it and find the answer yourself."
"My only request to you is that you do not commit any crime, and you must understand that paying taxes is the obligation of every citizen. If I discover tax evasion, the consequences will be very serious."
The three children nodded to show that they understood.
Although they did not get any help from their grandfather, they were actually inspired.
Besides, they have a lot of pocket money, so it is impossible for them to not have start-up capital.
So Chen Guohua doesn't care how they build it.
Wenjin Street, inside the office.
Chen Guohua and Song Xuyan sat together and talked about work, mainly because new energy vehicles have been quite popular recently.
The reason was that Chen Guohua launched the new energy vehicle project within the Zhenhua Research Institute.
After the project was launched, three electric bicycle brands, Shenzhou, Changjiang and Huaxia, came to us, as well as many automobile companies such as FAW and BAIC.
New energy vehicle projects are not a priority at all for automobile companies such as FAW and BAIC.
The key point is that this project was initiated by Zhenhua Institute.
Thirteen years ago, Zhenhua Research Institute established a small electric furnace manufacturing plant, which then set off a big wave of electric bicycles.
After so many years, the electric bicycle industry has blossomed all over the country.
Except for some cities such as mountain cities where the sales of electric bicycles are not very good, electric bicycles dominate the market everywhere else.
Even the sales of bicycles are far lower than those of electric bicycles.
Therefore, in everyone's view, new energy vehicles are just a copy of electric bicycles. And those who know the way will go to the Patent Office to check those patents, and only then will they know that Zhenhua Research Institute has already gone a long way in the new energy vehicle field.
So everyone ran over, fearing that they would be left behind if they were a step slower.
The popularity of new energy vehicle projects is a good thing, but the distribution of benefits is also a headache.
Chen Guohua had never thought that he would still need to make the final decision on this matter in the end, because other people were making a fuss and even came to Song Xuyan and the others' side.
Simply.
"I draw a line. If you meet the qualifications, then we can cooperate. If you don't meet the qualifications, then you can invest in upstream industries or some after-sales services, and don't get involved in the new energy vehicle project."
After a pause, Chen Guohua continued:
"Old Song, don't be too soft-hearted. There are some things you can do, but there are some lines that you absolutely cannot cross."
"Okay, let's stop here. Competition in the new energy vehicle industry is a good thing, but excessive competition will lead to internal friction, which is not acceptable."
"I was counting on these auto companies to go overseas and earn foreign exchange."
When they heard that they could earn foreign exchange, Wang Dingzuo and his friends' eyes lit up several times.
In recent years, with the deepening of reform and opening up, a lot of foreign exchange has been earned, but in fact there are more problems.
Because in the process of contact, it is always inevitable to take detours.
Chen Guohua is not a nanny. He cannot take care of so many industries. It is already good enough for him to take care of one or two industries. What's more, he has a lot of jobs himself. How can he possibly work as a nanny all the time?
Therefore, although you earn a lot from foreign exchange, most of it is wasted money and hard-earned money.
Another point is that our domestic automobile manufacturing industry has almost no impact on foreign exports.
It can even be said that it is completely unpresentable and not at all worthy of the great power status of the Far Eastern dragon.
Now, Chen Guohua mentioned that new energy vehicles may be exported, which definitely caught their attention.
In the excitement, Song Xuyan suddenly felt a palpitation and his face turned pale, which scared Chen Guohua and the others.
Medical staff quickly came over and took Song Xuyan away.
Two days later, Chen Guohua and his colleagues learned that Song Xuyan's health was not good and he was no longer suitable to continue his current job.
Nine years ago, Song Xuyan took over Zhang Jihan's position when he was fifty-six years old.
He is only 65 years old now, but he retired early due to health reasons.
Chen Guohua still felt quite regretful. He thought Song Xuyan could stay with him for a few more years, but he didn't expect that.
Ugh!
To be honest, Song Xuyan's job is not that easy. He often has to face a lot of pressure, and he is not as easy as Chen Guohua.
"Who will take over your job then?"
Now that things have been settled, Chen Guohua is curious about who his future partner will be.
From January 21, 1960, the day when Zhenhua Research Institute was established, Chen Guohua's superior was Qiu Zongyue.
In January 1972, Qiu Zongyue was hospitalized due to illness, and Zhang Jihan took over and became Chen Guohua's partner.
Time came to 1981, Zhang Jihan retired, and Song Xuyan became Chen Guohua's new partner.
It is now 1992, and the Zhenhua Research Institute has been established for thirty-two years. Chen Guohua is still the director of this scientific research institution, but he has had three leaders, and now the fourth leader is about to take office.
In Chen Guohua's opinion, the new candidate is most likely Cao Xiwen, the former general manager of China Resources Company.
Cao Xiwen is only 52 years old this year, just one year older than Chen Guohua. This age is very suitable for taking over Song Xuyan's position.
However, it is not.
"According to the organization's discussion, Sun Shubo should take over my position, and he will partner with you, Old Chen."
After hearing Song Xuyan's words, Chen Guohua searched his mind and finally knew who Sun Shubo was.
In 1981, Sun Shubo was already the department head in charge of many financial companies such as The Wolf of Wall Street. At that time, he was still Wang Dingzuo's subordinate.
Financial companies like The Wolf of Wall Street were very powerful at the time.
At the beginning of its establishment, it is necessary to select talents. These talents must have strong professional abilities and sufficient loyalty.
Chen Guohua and the others can't choose some traitors to be the person in charge, right?
Therefore, people like Sun Shubo have to go through many trials and tribulations, and after being successfully selected, they need to undergo five years of assessment before they are allowed to be promoted.
If Chen Guohua remembers correctly, after the seventh or eighth year, a project called targeted training was launched.
Such projects are only for college students.
You have to know that college students were very scarce in the 1970s and 1980s, and many of them were the best of the best.
Time flies. Eleven years have passed now, and Sun Shubo has already climbed up.
"So it's him. This is interesting."
Chen Guohua smiled, but Song Xuyan said weakly:
"Old Chen, please don't bully Xiao Sun. He is a top student with a PhD degree. Don't look down on him."
"Old Song, you sound as if I have bullied you before. Besides, you are still my leader."
Hearing Chen Guohua's words, Song Xuyan rolled his eyes and immediately sighed:
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, I am already 65 years old. It's time to retire."
Song Xuyan recalled that when he first took office, Chen Guohua was already the number one person in the domestic scientific community. His power and status were so high, and his achievements were so great, that even Song Xuyan felt uneasy.
You know, nominally speaking, he is Chen Guohua's direct superior.
But how could he really dare to act like a leader?
Even if Chen Guohua wanted to, he would not bother to pay attention to Song Xuyan, the "mouthpiece".
"Yeah, time flies so fast."
Chen Guohua echoed, and it was at this time that Cao Xiwen brought Yuan Bingzhang to visit Song Xuyan.
Sun Shubo also came along.
If they said they didn't do it on purpose, Chen Guohua would not believe it at all. How could it be such a coincidence?
Cao Xiwen is the former general manager of China Resources Company, while Yuan Bingzhang is a second-generation red and the current general manager of China Resources Company.
So it was only natural that Cao Xiwen came to visit Song Xuyan, the old leader. Sun Shubo came over at this time, probably to see Chen Guohua. (End of this chapter)
