Turning thirty is an awkward age. Some people shine brightly and achieve glory at this age, while others find their lives a messy struggle.
Undoubtedly, Chen Pingsheng belonged to the latter....
Chen Pingsheng held a banquet at home.
This was not a feast in Lou Wang's villa, but a family dinner held in his own Tan Palace villa.
During the meal, he also took out two bottles of national treasure Fenjiu.
My grandfather’s generation obviously loved Fenjiu more than Moutai.
This kind of wine is already an auction item, with each bottle costing around two million.
As for the most expensive liquor in China, it is Lai Mao produced in Maotai Town, Guizhou in 1935.
This is an out-of-print wine from a long time ago, and the price of a single bottle is around 10 million.
Or someone gave him a bottle on his birthday.
The purpose of this family dinner was nothing else but to announce two things. One was that the relatives who were sent back by him would be sent back as long as they did not commit any particularly serious mistakes.
You can also go back to the Magic City.
You just need to work in Shanghai for two years before you can get the family startup fund again.
There is no distinction between jobs and no distinction between high and low status when working.
She can deliver food, work as a security guard, or even be a DJ in a nightclub.
It's up to them.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, most of the young generation of their generation are born in the 1990s.
In the eyes of those born in the 1980s, those born in the 1990s are often synonymous with willfulness.
These people neither have the ability to start a business nor the mentality to manage millions of dollars.
It would be better to work steadily for a few years first. All he can provide is a decent place to live.
When they really want to do something but have no money, we will give them some start-up capital.
Having such conditions is already better than most ordinary people.
As for the future, it depends on how they grasp it.
Don't force it, don't be deliberate, just let them choose for themselves.
After experiencing one bloody incident after another, Chen Pingsheng finally realized some of his mistakes.
Everyone has his or her own life, he can't control too much and can't make choices for them.
Governing by doing nothing is the true best way.
This is a good thing for some people, but not for others.
I think it's a good thing, mainly because I want freedom. After coming to Shanghai, I spend my money everywhere.
Of course you have to hear it.
But this kind of life is okay in the short term, but few people are willing to live like this for a long time.
It's human nature.
As for those who thought it was not a good thing, they could obviously hear something else in these words.
That is, we are all relatives. I can provide you with a temporary residence and give you some money to start a business.
But I won’t introduce you to boyfriends or girlfriends.
Nor will we pave the way for you. Everything in the future depends on you.
The family entrepreneurship fund was directly cancelled, and you will need to write an IOU when you want it.
Chen Pingsheng will no longer restrict everyone as the head of the family. You can play however you like.
It has little to do with him, so I relax the restrictions and no longer help without reason. I only provide food, clothing, accommodation, retirement and medical care to the elders.
This way, he could also feel relieved.
After much thought, this method is the most reliable.
I poured grandpa a glass of wine worth more than two million yuan, and he drank it until his face turned red.
After having a few more drinks with his uncles, he left with his family.
The Magic City is still prosperous. Recently, Chen Anan’s Anle Foundation has also sponsored several children from real mountainous areas.
You have to say that these children in the mountains are quite amazing. They usually have no food to eat, but they can still rely on reading to fill their stomachs.
He struggled to get into a top university in a big city step by step from a backward mountain school.
After the Anle Fund opened the online nomination channel, it immediately received many lists of people who really needed help from enthusiastic netizens.
Without exception, these people are miserable, but also extremely resilient.
There is always a ray of bright light that can emerge when fate is miserable.
Compared with these people, he thought that these relatives of Chen, Song, Peng and Liu really had nothing to complain about.
After a year, Big Butt finally spent her own comfort fund on what was really needed.
The night breeze was cool, and Chen Pingsheng was half lying on the balcony.
While quietly watching the Huangpu River, you can also drink Wuyishan Dahongpao.
Song Yanxi took a blanket and asked him to cover himself with it. The temperature was already cold, so he just hoped he wouldn't catch a cold.
"Husband, you've also cancelled the family startup fund. From now on, I think you'd better stay out of the affairs between relatives."
"Yeah, we really should leave it alone."
Chen Pingsheng summed up himself, "As the saying goes, a little bit of rice is a favor, a peck of rice is a grudge. After we let these relatives live in luxury houses and drive luxury cars, they will still feel dissatisfied with the little things.
"They would secretly point fingers at us and say, 'Look at Chen Pingsheng, he no longer cares about his relatives after he became rich. And the younger generation always feel that we are restricting them.
“Sometimes I wonder why it’s only now that I’ve discovered such a simple truth. It all comes down to one thing.
"After sitting in a high position for a long time, I develop a certain kind of inertial thinking. I always think that I am right and you all must listen to me.
"Whether you're running a business or managing your own family, this kind of thinking is often extremely dangerous."
Song Yanxi was stunned. Could this be summarized at the level of operating a group?
There is nothing wrong with Tengying Group. Isn't it getting better and better?
"Husband, are you thinking too much?"
"How could that be?"
Chen Pingsheng shook his head. "Remember the last wave of layoffs? I also believed that I was right, so I didn't give much choice when it came to layoffs. Some people were laid off for no apparent reason, and some were simply middle-aged and their passions had faded. But in the end, the reason for the wave of layoffs in the company was ultimately due to poor management by us leaders."
"During this year, I've become more and more convinced that whatever I do is right, so I tend to assume that others are wrong and that you must listen to me.
"This is very dangerous, extremely dangerous, and it could even threaten the group's survival for another twenty years."
Chen Pingsheng used the word "danger" three times in a row to indicate that this mentality is extremely detrimental to the operation of a business.
It can be said that no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot guarantee that he is always right.
Once he thinks this way, it will be a disaster for both employees and the company.
Coincidentally, he is facing this problem now.
"Honey, it's not that serious, right?" Song Yanxi asked with some confusion.
"It's not that it's not serious, it's definitely serious."
Chen Pingsheng said calmly, "Look at those people downstairs. We may have been like them before, wandering on the edge of these big cities. When we sit upstairs and look down at them again, will you still think of yourself who once had nothing?
“Most people think that these poor people will never be able to buy a house in Shanghai even after 20 years or even their entire lives.
"Unconsciously, we have become one of these people in a higher position, and we also look at these young people from other places who are still working hard with their own hands with the same eyes."
Whether it is the girl in yoga pants in the socialite training class, or Chen Tan who drives a Rolls-Royce to show off.
In essence, they all yearn for the life of the upper class and are all striving to move into this circle.
Only those who have reached this circle and secured this position know this.
How confusing is the upper class?
If you are not careful, you will get lost in this materialistic and power game.
There is more money than money, and more power than power.
The struggle to cross will never end.
Once you lose your original intention, it is easy to be bitten by all of this.
Just like Chen Pingsheng now, everyone is in awe of him, and he will unconsciously think that everything he does is right.
Is this really the case?
Maybe, maybe not.
The answer cannot be found in a short time, and the road of life is still very long. He needs to explore and practice slowly.
What Chen Pingsheng can think of, Song Yanxi may not be able to think of.
She has a husband above her, and if anything happens to Shuiyunjian, Chen Pingsheng will definitely be held responsible.
When Tengying Group encountered trouble, Chen Pingsheng could only rely on himself.
That's the difference.
This is also where he needs to constantly reflect.
Times are changing, and people must keep up.
