Chapter 564 Speech on the View of Wealth
Monday, June 27.
Handong University, counselor Zhang Wei's office.
"Donate again? And, another five million?" Zhang Wei opened his mouth slightly, unable to close it for a long time.
This morning, Pei Qian came to his office again, expressing that he would continue all the previous subsidies for poor students and donate an additional five million.
The last five million was a quota for 2,000 people, and a monthly subsidy of 500 yuan within five months was directly transferred to the campus card to guarantee basic living.
From December to now, the time has just arrived, and another 5 million has been added.
In addition, Pei Qian will add another five million, and it will be awarded in the form of scholarships.
Still based on the current quota of impoverished students, 500 students with excellent grades will be screened out, each with a scholarship of 10,000 yuan.
Pei Qian's goal is still the same as before, that is, targeted poverty alleviation and no waste.
There are many poor people in this world. Although they all do charity and give money, the effects of giving to different people are completely different.
Some people don't realize that simply giving money can't change his poor fate.
But for poor students, especially those with excellent grades, getting this money can change their lives and make outstanding contributions to this society.
Pei Qian's current charity amount is only 10 million, which seems like a lot, but in fact, compared with the poor in this world who need relief, it is still only a drop in the bucket.
His first goal is to ensure that the money goes to those who need it most.
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, if it's okay, I'll go first."
Pei Qian came here mainly to settle the charity money. Now that the matter is settled, it's time to go back and continue worrying about how to lose money.
Zhang Huang and He Desheng shared the phone booth with Xueba Quickly to promote the Jingpal Hostel, but they arranged for Pei Qian to be clear.
"Hey, wait a minute."
Zhang Wei hurriedly stopped Pei Qian: "Wait a minute, there is still something to do."
Pei Qian: "Huh?"
Zhang Wei smiled and said: "Donate money to improve the lives of poor students. Of course, I support it with both hands, but...have you forgotten the lecture that was agreed before?"
Pei Qian: "..."
Indeed forgot.
When donating money for the first time, Zhang Wei said that he hoped to hold a lecture for Pei Qian, and tell the seniors about his experience in employment or entrepreneurship.
After all, in Zhang Wei's opinion, Pei Qian is a proper business genius. If he said that he has no experience to share, he would not believe it.
But Pei Qian is also very helpless, I really have no experience to share!
Moreover, Pei Qian didn't want to show his face in front of these seniors, and he didn't want to become a celebrity in the school, and students would come to apply for jobs wherever he went.
But Zhang Wei has mentioned it twice after all, and he has already shirked it once, so it seems inappropriate to refuse again.
Pei Qian thought for a while: "Then... how about this?"
"I'll find someone to speak for me, and then I will make a speech, so rounding up is equivalent to me going up and speaking, okay."
"As for the content of the lecture..."
"The experience of employment and entrepreneurship is really nothing to talk about. Mr. Zhang, you also know that entrepreneurship is very accidental. My experience is basically irreproducible, and it may be misleading."
"Employment... Tengda is taking a unified exam now, and doing more questions is better than anything else."
"How about telling these poor students a little bit, the main theme is, I hope they will make good use of the money."
Zhang Wei thought about it, and it seemed the same thing happened.
Entrepreneurial experience cannot be copied, and talking too much may cause misleading. Not to mention the employment experience, that is the responsibility of the Human Resources Department, and Pei Qian will not ask.
Fifteen million has been donated to poor students. Although it is not a lot to spread to everyone, the amount of money is not a small amount.
Giving them a lecture on how to make better use of this money is more appropriate than giving them a lecture on entrepreneurial experience.
Zhang Wei nodded: "Okay, then I will arrange it and send the time and place directly to your mobile phone."
...
Coming out of Zhang Wei's office, Pei Qian first called Tang Yishu.
"Little Tang, give me a lecture for all the poor students who have been sponsored by Tengda."
"What? Shy? No, this is a mission, you have to go."
"Manuscript? Oh, don't worry, it will be sent to you before the speech."
"Okay, then it's settled."
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian called Assistant Xin again.
"Help me write a speech for poor students."
"There is no requirement for the content, anyway, you can write whatever you want, just tell them how to make good use of this wealth."
"When will it be finished?"
"Tomorrow morning? Okay, then just send it to Xiao Tang after finishing writing."
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qian felt relaxed.
It's done, it's easy!
In fact, Pei Qian didn't think too much about it. After all, he didn't do charity for a show or to gain fame. He simply provided help to some poor students and spent the system's charity quota by the way.
The only worry is that some poor students will get the money and spend it in the wrong place.
Therefore, arrange a speech to give some positive guidance to these poor students as much as possible.
Of course, the specific effect depends on how well Assistant Xin's manuscript is written.
...
...
the next afternoon.
Handong University Science Hall.
This is the largest auditorium of Handong University, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people. It is mainly used for holding large-scale lectures, holding new year parties, performing stage plays, and so on.
At this time, all the impoverished students were present, and the auditorium was almost full except for a few seats in the last row.
According to common sense, there should be a banner above the stage at this time, at least to point out the theme of the lecture.
However, Pei Qian's manuscript has not come out for a long time, and I don't know what kind of banner is suitable to hang.
But this is not the point after all, as long as everyone knows what they are here for.
Before the lecture started, the impoverished students in the audience were talking about it.
"Today's lecture, is it said to talk about the concept of wealth?"
"Our outlook on wealth should be fine, right?"
"That's hard to say. I've seen poor students eat steamed buns every day to buy pineapple mobile phones."
"That's right, we should talk about it carefully. If someone uses this money to buy shoes, bags, and mobile phones, is that still a person?"
Zhang Wei was also sitting under the stage, thinking, this is too rudimentary.
He originally wanted to add a few more links. After all, he donated 10 million yuan, and it would not be too much to hold a donation ceremony.
But Pei Qian sternly refused, emphasizing again and again that only a simple speech should be given, and no extra steps should be taken, otherwise even the speech would be cancelled.
Zhang Wei had no choice but to let nature take its course.
"I don't know who Pei Qian will ask to speak."
"The vice president of the company? At least he must be the head of the human resources department, right?"
"Hey, it's strange, where is Xiao Tang?"
Zhang Wei remembered that Tang Yishu should also be a poor student, why didn't she see it?
However, he was wondering when he saw Tang Yishu appearing from the backstage holding a speech script and walking all the way to the podium in the middle of the stage.
Zhang Wei: "..."
...
Tang Yishu stood in the center of the stage, looking at the dark crowd below the stage, she became even more nervous.
When she came here for the rehearsal in the morning, two microphones had an unexplained failure, and the staff were just about to send them for repairs, and then they went back to normal again, making people puzzled.
Now Tang Yishu has no other requirements, but only hopes that there will be no more problems with this microphone.
"Everyone, classmates..."
"good afternoon everyone."
Tang Yishu said the opening remarks carefully, but fortunately, the microphone is normal.
It seems that the bad luck was consumed by several accidents in the morning.
"Today, Mr. Pei, who donated living allowances and scholarships, was unable to attend because of his busy schedule. Therefore, I will read this letter to all the students for him. I hope it can give you some inspiration."
Tang Yishu paused for a moment, and began to recite the speech clearly in her hand.
"Hello, my fellow students. I'm sorry that I can't be there due to work reasons. I can only use this letter to convey my vision and expectations to you and share some experiences about life."
"Maybe many people think that what I'm going to talk about is how to use the money in your hands."
"Maybe some students will worry that some people will buy some things that have no practical significance and can only enhance their sense of vanity after receiving scholarship money."
"However, everyone understands similar truths, and I don't want to talk about them anymore."
"I want to change the angle and discuss the issue of wealth concept."
"That is, what are the real treasures that we have that we should cherish?"
"Most of the students here probably don't think that they have ever owned and are currently owning good wealth."
"I believe that everyone has had this confusion: how do I own wealth?"
"Some people spend most of their energy on part-time jobs in order to have wealth, which affects their studies;"
"Because of poverty, some people are reluctant to eat enough and buy necessary school supplies. They hoard all their money like misers, as if spending money will lose their sense of security."
"I want to tell everyone that this is a wrong concept of wealth. For a small amount of money, I wasted my real wealth."
"Please think about a question: In order to have wealth, what are you going to use in exchange?"
"If you were a blacksmith in ancient times, one day you had no food to eat. In order to obtain food, you have three ways to go:"
"Grow it yourself."
"To steal, to rob."
"Build a farm tool and exchange it with farmers."
"Most people will choose the third way. Everyone will find that as long as ironware is produced and exchanged continuously, they will become richer and richer. Therefore, the basis for obtaining wealth is 'exchange'."
"So, if you choose to grow it yourself, or steal or rob it, will you not pass the exchange?"
"no."
"The first option is actually an exchange of one's own time, labor, and farming experience; the second option is actually an exchange of force, risks, weapons carried, and preparations for committing crimes."
"So, no matter which option you choose, in the final analysis, you are exchanging, and the cost will not be lower than building a farm tool."
"Every choice you make to gain wealth is essentially an exchange."
"So, apart from those parts that are doomed from birth and that you can't control, what is the wealth that we really have that can be exchanged?"
"Is it money? No, it doesn't really belong to us, it's just a digital representation of the wealth you've traded away."
"Is it time? No, the passage of time is independent of human will."
"Is it the body? This is indeed the wealth you have, but if you exchange it for wealth, you will definitely fall into frustration."
"Everyone's greatest wealth is actually 'attention', or 'energy'."
"You want to make money through work, just sitting in an office is useless, you have to focus on your work, and then use your knowledge to solve problems."
"Knowledge is learned in class and at work with attention."
"Aside from what we don't control, the only wealth we have is attention."
"The concept of wealth that I want to share with you today is, how should we use our attention?"
"Perhaps many will waste it;"
"Maybe, many people will be harvested by some merchants with ulterior motives;"
"Maybe, it will be used in the form of big data analysis."
"Many classmates complain about why they were born poor and unequal. This kind of blame will destroy you, let you waste your attention, and make your life continue to fail."
"And if we want to change our destiny, we must focus on ourselves."
"Reading an hour of books every day, accumulating over time, will reap unimaginable improvements."
"So, I hope that the students who get this money will not save it all and be reluctant to spend it; and don't buy some meaningless things that are only used to satisfy their own vanity; let alone spend it on some distracting, indulgent entertainment."
"Put that money where it's really needed: improving yourself."
"Always remember that attention is the most precious asset we all have, and I hope everyone makes good use of it and treats it well."
"This is what I want to share with you, a little knowledge about wealth."
The book "What is the experience of becoming a vampire" describes the reaction of an ordinary person with rational thinking and basic scientific literacy after becoming a vampire, which is very interesting.
The current progress, 193,000 words have been updated in 13 days this month.
In fact, I have been working hard to write, but sometimes there will be some plots that need to be considered repeatedly. For example, this chapter, including some seemingly scattered parts before, will be related to the subsequent plots. I have been writing three I changed it several times before I felt it could be sent out. Many people think that it is slower or something, but it is not. The number of words updated every day this month has never been lower than 10,000 words.
Continue to ask for monthly tickets, thank you! !
