Chapter 3033: The Next Generation

Feng Yiping thinks that his way is good.

He doesn't intend to learn from the rich people in Europe and America when it comes to educating children.

As we all know, especially the current European and American business tycoons, the way they advocate, at least on the surface, of not leaving too much wealth to their children and not making their children special, has not cultivated any outstanding offspring.

Moreover, in fact, most of them just talk about not making their children special, just like whether it is Gates' daughter or Jobs' daughter, they like equestrianism, which is really not a hobby that ordinary children can afford.

Besides, the so-called "donating all wealth" is also the result of propaganda. As far as he knows, even Buffett, who initiated this movement, announced in 2006 that he would donate all his wealth to the Gates Foundation - let's not talk about whether such a donation is a donation in the sense we understand, but he also has a prerequisite. He first left $1 billion to each of his three children.

1 billion US dollars, compared to Buffett's net worth, this is of course very little, but compared to most people in the world, this is undoubtedly an astronomical figure, which is a wealth that most people can hardly have in their lifetime.

Although he also said that this 1 billion US dollars must be used for charitable purposes, please, in a society like the United States that attaches great importance to privacy, is it really possible that someone will audit the use of this 1 billion US dollars belonging to an individual based on such a statement that has no legal significance at all?

With this 1 billion US dollars, even if his children engage in conservative investment, that is, not becoming a customer of their old subsidiary, but choosing the most conservative investment plan of the wealth management company, it is not a problem to get a net profit return of 1% a year - in many countries outside the United States, including our country, simply depositing it in the bank to earn interest can do it.

And with 10 million US dollars a year to spend, without having to keep a private jet and a yacht like Feng Yiping, the family can definitely live a world-class life - although not the best.

So, how can this be called donating all the wealth?

This is "not leaving too much wealth" to the children. Compared with their wealth, 1 billion US dollars for each child is indeed "not much".

It can be said that the so-called "donation of all wealth" by this stock god who is remembered by more people for such pioneering charitable behavior is not true.

To put it bluntly, this is also the American media's need to establish a super-rich man with superb moral character that the world admires to promote the superiority of the United States, and to create another representative of the United States in the new era.

Therefore, Feng Yiping thinks that after the children become adults, giving them 100 million or 200 million US dollars - depending on the market conditions at the time, let them toss around, which should be very good.

He believes that in any case, their children should be better at the beginning, so that they can be more relaxed at the beginning.

He believes that this is what all parents want to do.

The beginning is critical to a person's development. Many people who could have made some achievements may have lost at the beginning.

For example, Ivan's father, although these years have not been smooth sailing, it must be said that he has achieved some success and is considered a successful second-generation business rich.

The reason why he achieved success was that he got the support of funds and connections from Ivan's grandfather at the beginning.

On the contrary, what Buffett said, "The greatest wealth that parents give to their children is love", is pure chicken soup that is so annoying that it will kill you.

Including what he said when he and his son discussed career issues, which many Americans know, "If you are willing to be a garbage man and work behind a garbage truck, your mother and I will love you just the same, as long as it is something you like", which is also just propaganda.

If his son really became a garbage man sitting behind a garbage truck - to be precise, it should be a garbage man hanging behind a garbage truck, he would probably not be able to drink his favorite cherry cola for many days.

For the same well-known reasons, the children of American rich people can easily enter the top universities in the United States.

For example, the Harvard "University Resources Committee" composed of hundreds of Wall Street donors and alumni, their children can easily be admitted to Harvard.

For an influential rich man like Buffett, he doesn't even need to ask for his children to enter famous American universities.

Let alone the children of Buffett, how can graduates of famous American universities such as Stanford, Harvard and Yale become garbage collectors?

What a joke!

Therefore, Feng Yiping did not want to hide it too much. When the children came of age, he would give them a start-up capital of 100 million or 200 million US dollars to let them toss around. If they succeeded, it would be good. If they ran out of money, it would not matter. They could find a down-to-earth job and receive some subsidies from the trust...

"In the end, they can only serve on the board of directors,"

The shares of various companies he holds will definitely not be dispersed.

It is impossible for him to divide his company and wealth equally among all the children. That would simply be a self-destruction. He would do for those open and covert opponents what they wanted to do but could not do.

"I think that when I am old and need to hand over, I can at least find a reliable child to take on this responsibility,"

After all, he is only in his early thirties now, and the eldest child, Vincent, is already ten years old. The youngest Feng Lele is also a few months old. There is enough time to pick one or two reliable, or relatively reliable successors.

Feng Zhenchang glanced at Mei Qiuping again. They couldn't decide whether his son's method was right or wrong.

But there are some shortcomings. The son did not mention what should be paid to the mother of the children.

However, although they had been thinking about this issue for a long time, they had no idea if they were to divide their son's huge family property.

"Since you have thought of it all, that's good. This is your business, and you will do better than us in this regard," Feng Zhenchang said. "As parents, we just want to remind you, in case you don't think of it, do it." Of course you still have to do it,"

As for the mothers of his children...it's better not to put any extra pressure on him.

However, there is one more thing that must be discussed.

"Your mother and I both know that your children are well educated," Feng Zhenchang said.

"They are really more obedient and sensible than you were when you were a child," Mei Qiuping added.

Feng Zhenchang glared at her, this was serious business.

"But Yiping, no matter which country your children are from, since they are your children and our grandchildren, they should be Chinese,"

Mei Qiuping couldn't help but interrupt, "When I build the family tree again, I will add them all."

Feng Yiping was a little worried about this, "It's best not to expose their situation,"

Feng Zhenchang said calmly, "Don't listen to your mother. Don't worry about this. We know the severity. When we can join in, we guarantee that nothing will happen."

He glared at Mei Qiuping again, always interrupting, always interrupting, "Go back to what you just said,"

"Three of your children are now mainly raised abroad. They seem to be doing well so far. At least our eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter can both speak Mandarin. Your mother and I are quite satisfied with this,"

"But how many words can they recognize and how many words can they write?"

"Don't say that these children will only be considered illiterate when they are in China. That would be true and would make people laugh to death,"

This is talking about the education of children.

I would say that they both are happy, but it is also a pity that they could not get involved in their son's education at the beginning, and now it is also difficult for them to even interfere with the education of some grandchildren.

"Dad, Mom, I think the same as you in this regard," Feng Yiping said. "Since they are my children, they are fundamentally Chinese. Of course, domestic education must keep up."

"In this regard, this is my plan. Children born and raised abroad will mainly receive language education when they are young. That is, they must first be able to speak Mandarin. Starting from the fifth grade, we will let them receive American school education. While educating, we must also receive education from domestic schools at the same time,”

"Look, don't we already have our own school? When the time comes, we will learn through distance learning, or specially hire tutors,"

Feng Zhenchang touched his pocket and seemed to want to smoke. Finally, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. "It's a good arrangement,"

"Although it will be harder for the children, it is worth the hard work when they are young,"

Feng Yiping nodded, "I think so too. Vincent, starting from next year, he will receive such an education. The American education method pays great attention to cultivating children's independent thinking ability, while domestic education will enable them to master basic skills." It’s very solid, and it can also be said to complement each other’s advantages.”

"In the future, when they are in college, it is best to come to China as an exchange student, or wait until they graduate from college to consider studying for graduate school in China,"

Feng Zhenchang nodded repeatedly, "You can arrange it this way!"

Mei Qiuping had some different opinions, "I think the education in the UK is also very good. Many families in China send their children to study in the UK. What about Eton..."

"Haha," Feng Yiping laughed. I really put my heart into it. Even Eton College knew it. "That is a school where the children of the British royal family and some top nobles will attend. It has also trained many British students." dignitaries,”

"But for Vincent and others, it doesn't matter whether they go to the UK to study or not,"

"British education is indeed good and has its strengths, but if you look at it from a general perspective, its shortcomings are also obvious. You see, whether you compare it with the United States or us, the development of the UK is obviously not good now. Although There are many reasons for this, but in terms of education, more or less, there will also be some responsibility,"

If you want to train your child to be a noble, then Fuguo is really a good choice, but Feng Yiping has never had this plan.

Feng Zhenchang took another sip of tea and naturally criticized his wife, "What's so good about Britain? You always like to hear these things. There are many people in China who send their children to Britain. So, is Britain good? These things , we cannot follow the trend,"

Mei Qiuping felt that he was jealous, jealous that she was more prepared than he was.

Feng Yiping could only smile at this, "Mom and Dad, that's how they are, and they can't change it for the rest of their lives."

"Similarly, children like Jujue and Lele who were born and raised in China will also receive an American education in the future. After graduating from college, they can choose to further their studies in the United States,"

"I have always thought that if possible, it would be great for Jujue and the others to study in a domestic military academy for two years."

It is not that there are no aspects that foreign wealthy people can learn from when it comes to educating their children. One aspect of elite education in Europe and the United States that is worth learning from is military training.

Military training is very beneficial to cultivating children's discipline, sense of honor, sense of responsibility, and courage, so this is what the wealthy class in Europe and the United States has always insisted on.

Of course, in the United States now, this does not necessarily mean attending military academies. At present, it is more widely used to cultivate sports expertise.

In the United States, sports are not only a common strength of the upper class, but also the focus of elite education. Sports have become an important feature of the preparatory school culture of American preparatory schools.

With the development of society, in the United States, the emphasis on sports has also extended from elite education to mass education. In the evaluation of many famous scholarships in the United States, sports are an important part of the evaluation criteria.

For example, in the evaluation of the Rhodes Scholarship, the most competitive scholarship in the world, which is known as the "Global Undergraduate Nobel Prize", the winners are called "Rhodes Scholars", and sports are the second item in the evaluation criteria.

This point can also be seen from other aspects.

We all know the Ivy League in the United States, and this alliance, which represents the base camp of American elite leader education, its name also originated from sports. It originally referred to the inter-college sports league between eight universities such as Harvard and Yale in the northeastern United States, and later became the official name of the regional federation composed of these eight universities.

However, domestic universities do not attach so much importance to sports at present, at least not to the level of the United States - the training of athletes who may win awards in the Olympics and other events is another matter.

Therefore, it is a good choice to arrange for domestic children to go to military school after returning from studying abroad or before studying abroad.

Anyway, his children will start higher than ordinary people, and it will not be a problem to receive a few more years of education.

Mei Qiuping was still a little hesitant. Going to military school, the children would inevitably have to endure hardships. Feng Zhenchang immediately agreed, "You have this intention, of course it's good, it's also good for them to go to military school,"

Feng Yiping looked at his parents with a smile, "Now everything is fine, right? You can prepare for the New Year well,"

"Yes, there is something," Feng Zhenchang sighed, "In the past two years, gambling has been rampant in the town and the villages below. From the beginning of the New Year to now, the gambling funds collected by the town have exceeded 50 million,"

"Dongzheng, Dongzheng was arrested two days ago. He took 800,000 that day,"

"Ah?" Feng Yiping was stunned. His cousin also gambled, and he played so big?

"He didn't gamble away the pig farm, did he?"

Feng Zhenchang shook his head, "That's not the case. Jingping's father and I went to the villages two days ago and did a lot of work, but we are not sure about the effect."

Feng Yiping also shook his head, "I can call back now and talk about it. I can also tell everyone about it when I have the chance."

Feng Zhenchang said this at this time, isn't it because he hopes he will do this?

"But Dad, I can't guarantee the effect either. Some people can make their hard life sweet, and some people just want to make their sweet life hard."

He looked at the vast sea below the mountain. He led everyone to become rich, but it seems that there is still a lot to do.
