The banquet was nothing special; what truly excited these newcomers was that every big shot who took a liking to them came to discuss industry matters with them.
Although everyone knows that these bigwigs are unlikely to reveal the real industry secrets, their words are enough to give these newcomers something to eat for a while.
Everything at this banquet was clearly priced.
Some newcomers have long thought that once they achieve something in the company, if they can catch the eye of these bigwigs, they will sell the company.
For some people, their investment funds are not enough to support the next technological development. It can be said that as long as it is a technology company, such as a game company, without subsequent investment, it will eventually either be sold, sidelined, or have its employees and technology poached.
So they're not just looking for investment, they're also looking to sell to someone if there's a suitable opportunity.
This is the harsh reality: very few people are willing to generate electricity for love anymore.
If people can't even afford to eat, what's the point of generating electricity?
Seventy, eighty, ninety, or even ten years ago, you might have said that we could change our destiny through our own efforts, and some people could even sell two buildings by buying and selling garbage and scrap.
Although the job was dirty and tiring, at least it was earned through my own hard work and effort.
So people used to say that we should work hard, study hard, and learn skills. When we were at work, we would say that we should work hard to make our boss see our efforts.
But what about now?
If you lack resources, connections, and incredible luck, even if you graduate from a top-tier national university, whether you're an undergraduate or a master's student, you'll still end up doing menial, backbreaking work.
Sometimes, the salary offered to you is only six or seven thousand.
How can you eat on six or seven thousand yuan a month in a first-tier city?
Not to mention those people in Shanghai who earn eight or nine thousand yuan a month and are also working.
Hard work may be a prerequisite for all success, but in today's environment, it pales in comparison to connections.
Tonight's banquet is not something you can get into just by working hard.
Otherwise, why would so many startups fail miserably?
Is it that they've stopped trying?
Is it that they are working in the wrong direction?
Luck will play a significant role tonight.
Li Bowen has already started talking to the CEO of a media company that has been in business for thirty years and has recently transformed into an online multimedia company involved in multiple media industries.
Although Li Bowen sometimes just enjoys eating, he also has a broad perspective on the company's development.
In particular, the company's current direction is very clear.
So the conversation went very smoothly.
Cheng Yusheng didn't like to talk, so he hid in a corner to eat by himself. Because the scene was a bit boring for him, he even started to break his own principles and started eating other foods.
But the fact that he was able to find a companion was a pleasant surprise.
Another tech-savvy individual, equally quiet, was huddled in a corner, seemingly facing some kind of problem. Curious, he went over to take a look and began to talk to the other person.
Tian Xin naturally returned to her old profession.
She may have been excited at the beginning of the banquet, but now she has fully immersed herself in the role and is very at ease in her conversations with these bigwigs.
They even started chatting casually with each other.
It has to be said that Tian Xin was born to do public relations.
Needless to say, Chen Cixiu was another one.
It was already surrounded by a crowd.
The young man wasn't intimidated at all by being surrounded by so many big shots, which impressed many of the other young people who came to participate.
Jiang Yu was surrounded by CEOs of various companies, but once she showed no intention of talking to them, no one at the banquet would approach her.
"It seems my junior brother is becoming more and more sought after."
Li Shuxue had just finished a phone call with her little boy, who was three years old this year. He was a boy who looked like her husband and was very cute.
She had to coax her for a long time before she came back.
"Has President Li finished his call?" Jiang Yu asked with a smile.
"Hmm, President Jiang doesn't seem worried at all about my junior brother being snatched away by someone else."
Li Shuxue turned her gaze to Chen Cixiu. His composed demeanor impressed her: "When I first met this child, he was a teenager. I thought he was very composed. I thought the teacher's teaching methods were really good. It's amazing that he could raise such a good child. When I first heard the news, I was a little worried that he might be stage-frightened. Now it seems that the teacher's family has really good genes. Thinking back to when I first met him, I was already doing a great job of not trembling."
Jiang Yu's gaze never left Chen Cixiu.
Hearing this, he turned to look at Li Shuxue and asked, "Senior, I guess I can call you that too?"
“Of course, I’d love for you to call me that,” Li Shuxue said happily.
“My husband has seen a lot of people, so it’s normal for him not to be nervous. As for what you said about him being taken away, I believe in my husband. He won’t be taken away. Otherwise, I would have offered him a senior manager position in Anyuan long ago.”
“Using power for personal gain is not in President Jiang’s nature.”
"That depends on whether this private matter is worthwhile."
The two women started chatting and laughing.
Li Shuxue's eyes were filled with admiration for Jiang Yu. Her unique vision and decisive courage were not just the source of her confidence from the Jiang Group.
