Chapter 1230 Equality that Can Be Touched
It is said that studying is useless. In China, many college students who have graduated work for their classmates who were poor students in junior high school or high school. Because when you are studying, those poor students have already entered the society and worked hard to become small bosses.
This is actually a very one-sided statement. Of course, there are many bosses with low education who have risen up by physical strength and sweat in my father's generation, and some are even illiterate.
But nowadays, it is not an era where you can rise up by physical strength and sweat. You may not be too poor if you are diligent, but the chance of becoming rich and noble is undoubtedly much less than those with high education.
Look at how much people with high education earn every month, regardless of whether they work for others. Look at how much those without education earn and what positions they are in, and the situation is actually clear at a glance.
Some people say that two thousand yuan can afford to hire a college student, but not an illiterate migrant worker. But migrant workers can only work all their lives, but education can give you a higher growth ceiling.
The reason why college students do not earn as much as those who work in factories has nothing to do with education and knowledge. It only has to do with you.
For example, if you are working in a factory, people with high education can really get extra points for their education when they are promoted as long as they are willing to work hard. Even if you are a boss, under the same conditions, would you choose a person with high education to manage your company, or would you find a person who graduated from junior high school to help you manage your company?
So it is not the education that is not good, it is the person. Domestic college students have an unrealistic arrogance. They feel that they are great because they go to college. They look down on this and that, and even their parents who are not well educated feel stupid.
As soon as they graduate, they set all kinds of lofty goals, and then they are beaten to pieces by reality. In the end, they no longer look for reasons in themselves, but shout that studying is useless.
Such thoughts are related to the fact that people with knowledge were praised too highly in the past. After all, in the 1970s and 1980s, a college student was really gold and the country was scrambling to get a guaranteed job.
But if you look at the continuous expansion of universities now, the number of college students has increased, but what about the quality?
Let’s not talk about quality first. In the past, college students were guaranteed jobs after graduation, which meant that they were really able to do the job, and even did better and more promising than those uneducated people.
What about now?
If you understand mathematical functions, you can move more bricks than migrant workers who only know addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. So the direction of comparison and the reference of comparison are not the same thing, and then a group of people advocate that studying is useless.
Those rich people send their children abroad because studying is useless?
In the eyes of a group of weak-kneed Chinese people, the air in the United States is fragrant. Those American tycoons are crazy and donate money to those famous universities just to let their children go to school?
Even if they are not knowledgeable, they can still make useful connections in college. What did you do in college? I guess you stayed up late to play games with friends?
So there is no useless knowledge, only useless people.
For example, Adams Smith, who is just 36 years old this year, is a good example. As an orphan from the poor class, if he had not been admitted to Yale University with excellent grades, he would have successfully turned his life around.
If he had not gone to school, he would probably have become an unemployed person like most children in poor areas, and then did some petty thefts and finally was sent to prison.
The reason why there are so many rebuttals to the useless people who study in China just now, in addition to Adams's living example. It is also because of a statistical data in his hand.
This is a statistical data from kindergarten to college. There are ten kindergartens, each of which is in the richest city in the United States. There are the most elementary and junior high schools, and the high schools are affiliated with major famous schools, not to mention colleges.
In the list of these schools, the most conspicuous are the various school celebrities corresponding to each school, and even the wealth ratio of the parents behind the children in these schools.
This is a very general statistical data, but it is also a very important statistical data. If Yang Dongxu wants his son to become a talent, let alone follow the schools in this statistical table from kindergarten.
Then even if Xiao Wenchen is a poor student in the future, as long as he can make some sincere friends in school from the stage of occasionally to junior high school.
After junior high school, go to high school to consolidate your personal behavior and morality and don't go astray, then go to college to broaden your horizons. Even if Yang Dongxu is not needed in the future, you can live well with these classmates alone.
So going to school is the easiest and most direct way for people at the bottom to get in touch with those top-class people. As long as you have good grades and work hard enough, you will have the opportunity to sit in the same classroom with these people. It is not like there is an invisible barrier between the two sides in real life, making the poor and the rich seem to live in two different worlds.
Borrowing from the later generations, there is a saying circulating on the Internet, "The person you meet every day is someone that other ordinary people will never meet in their lifetime."
The data statistics in front of me analyze this from another side. It is said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice's sons can dig holes.
Even if the son of a mouse grows up with these dragons and phoenixes, he will be more promising than other mice in the future.
So the thin man named Adams in front of him, although he looked a little ordinary, left a deep impression on Yang Dongxu at the first meeting, and also refreshed the cognition that this kind of world-class consortium is omnipresent when doing business, and there is always a way to make you willingly sign.
Yang Dongxu never thought of letting himself go to school abroad, at least he would not think about it before college. He felt that it was enough to let his son go to an ordinary school and teach him the concept of life first.
When he needs to broaden his horizons or set life goals, he will go around and see. He has a very powerful father and is qualified to enjoy a carefree and happy childhood.
But it must be said that even if there is no plan to send his son to study abroad. But seeing this statistical report, it would be a lie for parents to say that they are not moved.
"Your directness is beyond my expectation, but since you come to me, you should know something about my assets. So I have the ability to plan for my children's future." Yang Dongxu shook the documents in his hand and put them on the table.
"Of course, you are the most outstanding visionary among the young self-made billionaires I have ever seen. The reason I provide you with this information is just to provide some convenience for Mr. Yang.
I don't mean to interfere. You have your own plans and I have no right to interfere. I just hope that Mr. Yang can think of First Bank when he has the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
Cooperation is a win-win for both parties. I believe that as long as Mr. Yang can give First Bank the opportunity to cooperate, First Bank will not disappoint you and will only do better than other partners." Adams had a humble smile on his face, but his straight back gave people a sense of unyielding. Humility is politeness and personal quality, and it does not mean that you have to be servile and flattering.
Besides, there are not many people in the world who make him bend his knees and flatter when representing First Bank. The reason why he showed humility is that the person in front of him is indeed worthy of First Bank's investment. In addition to investing in companies and stocks, First Bank's investment in talents is also a major feature, and Yang Dongxu is undoubtedly qualified to be invested by First Bank.
Of course, it was a big loss for First Bank that it did not pay attention to Yang Dongxu before, and the best time for investment has passed. But if both parties can reach a cooperation, it is still not too late.
So Adams' seemingly humble and qualified attitude is only for those who are qualified to talk to him. For those who are not qualified, he feels that he is wasting his life if he says one more word.
"I need to think about it carefully, three days, and I will give you an answer in three days. I will definitely not be able to negotiate the cooperation with those senior executives of Nokia in three days." Yang Dongxu leaned back in the chair and tried to relax himself.
To be honest, the first time he met Adams, his performance was beyond his expectations. And he left a good impression on him in a very straightforward way.
Although the exchange of interests is naked, it must be said that Adams's approach to opening negotiations made him not only not hate it, but feel very good. The uncontrolled mind will plan various ways for his son to go to school in the future in the statistical data from kindergarten to university in front of him.
Even if he does not plan to let his son study abroad, whether to go abroad for university is just an option. It depends on his son's own opinion at that time. But even if he doesn't go now, he still can't help thinking about it.
"Then I will wait for Mr. Yang's good news. In fact, it is not important whether we can reach a cooperation this time. If Mr. Yang is interested, I can introduce some other very high-quality investment projects of First Bank to Mr. Yang." Adams stood up and said goodbye neatly.
Although he came for the Nokia mobile phone business shares in Yang Dongxu's hands, it would be good if he could get it. If he can't get it, it would be good to reach other cooperation with Yang Dongxu, the new rich man.
After all, cooperation has common goals and can produce benefits. Then such negotiations will have corresponding reports. If the cooperation fails once, you will give up contacting a very high-quality rich man, and even think about revenge. This is what the most mentally retarded fools will do.
Adams stood up and left. The documents on the table seemed to be forgotten, and he didn't mean to take them back. And when he left, he carefully settled the bill, not asking the assistant around him to settle the bill. Instead, he went to the counter and took out his wallet to settle the bill.
Yang Dongxu watched the whole process, and couldn't tell what he felt. Everything seemed so plain, and there was nothing particularly outstanding that would make people excited or excited, but the plainness made people feel very comfortable in their hearts.
Compared to the first meeting between Yang Dongxu and Adams, which was plain and harmonious, Kalu seemed to be on edge, in an old villa.
There were seven people sitting in the living room, each of whom was a senior executive of Nokia. Because everyone was interested in Yang Dongxu's shares in the mobile phone business, Nokia's senior shareholders returned to Finland intentionally or unintentionally in the past few days.
Therefore, if it were another time, everyone would not be able to gather together so neatly, and they would probably have to hold a video conference in the study.
The average age of the seven people was over 50 years old, and even though Kalu was one of the younger ones, he was already 52 years old this year.
There were two women among the seven people, and at this time they were frowning and watching the other five old men holding cigars in their mouths and puffing smoke. I don't know why they frowned, because Kalu's proposal made them look solemn, or because these old men made the smoke around them and made them feel dissatisfied.
