Chapter 351 People should not be too low-key
After cheering himself up, Tong Zhiyuan sent his son back to school and turned around to find Hu Qiongfang.
"Sister Qiongfang, I heard that you have launched a program to help poor girls go to school. I would like to donate some money in Xiaoyan's name to those poor girls who cannot afford to go to school."
Hu Qiongfang nodded and sighed, "Well, donating some money and doing charity can also be considered as doing good deeds for Xiaoyan and praying that she can be reborn into a good family in her next life."
This sentence is so heartbreaking.
Tong Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and muttered, "Our family isn't that bad, right?"
Hu Qiongfang rolled her eyes at him, "Why not? The mother is always thinking about how to kill her own children, and the father is also a man on our Provincial Highway 336, with countless bad friends, but in the end, he couldn't even protect his own two children."
"Tong Zhiyuan, I think you've been in the underworld for nothing all these years!"
Although Hu Qiongfang's words were harsh, Tong Zhiyuan knew in his heart that Hu Qiongfang treated him as her own, which was why she was so unsympathetic and was determined to scold him to wake him up.
Tong Zhiyuan felt that it might be because his path over the years had been too smooth.
When the provincial highway was being demolished, he took the opportunity to buy several pieces of land and built a gas station. His assets increased dozens of times in an instant.
Soon after, there was road construction along Provincial Highway 336, and oil was needed everywhere. Several gas stations were doing a booming business, and it could be said that they were making a fortune every day.
After that, after Hu Qiongfang had secured his position as president of the Chamber of Commerce, whenever he encountered some projects that could make quick money, he would pull them in to invest together, and they could make a lot of money from this every year.
Tong Zhiyuan made so much money from smooth sailing that he gradually felt that he didn't need to work hard. Money made money. The profits from his family's businesses were enough to provide for his family for several lifetimes.
As the old saying goes, "Born in adversity, die in comfort." If a person gets used to lying down, he will never be able to stand up again.
However, when he opened his eyes and looked at the other people around him, from the Hu brothers, to the mother and daughter Hu Qiongfang and Jiang Tian, to the younger generation Han Jisong, and even old ladies as old as Grandma Hu, they had all been running forward desperately over the years.
Grandma Hu’s Big Meat Zongzi now has four branches.
When Grandma Hu first started making and selling rice dumplings, Jiang Tian packaged the rice dumplings made by Grandma Hu together with other local specialties in order to help her expand sales, and used other people’s brands to pretend that hers were also a “local specialty”.
But after just a few years, the reputation of "Granny Hu's Big Meat Zongzi" has far surpassed other local specialties, and even the provincial railway station and bus terminal have their own "Granny Hu's Big Meat Zongzi" stores.
Although Grandma Hu does not hold any official position in the local chamber of commerce, now, no bosses along Provincial Highway 336 dare to look down on this old lady.
There is also Boss Hu who used to deliver lunch boxes to their family. He looks silly and doesn't look like a businessman at all.
But who could have thought that in just a few years, Boss Hu would become the most powerful construction contractor in the local area!
I heard that in this university town project bidding, he won several projects by himself. Conservatively speaking, if these projects are successfully completed, the money that Boss Hu earns will be enough for the whole family to spend in several lifetimes.
Over the years, everyone around him has been running forward with all his might, except him, who has clearly won at the starting line but has been lingering around it.
So, people should not be too low-key.
He is too low-key, even the cats and dogs think he is easy to bully.
Look at the Hu family. I heard that there are many troublesome relatives among them. But no one dares to take advantage of them, whether it is the Hu brothers or Jiang Tian and Jiang Cheng.
Why?
Because in the eyes of ordinary people, if relatives have a little money, they can come to the door to get some benefits.
But their relatives had too much money, so they could only look up to them, carefully flatter them, hoping that some money would slip through the fingers of the big guys, which would be enough for their family to have no worries about food and drink.
After giving 30,000 yuan to Hu Qiongfang and asking her to help sponsor some poor female students in the name of Tong Xiaoyan, Tong Zhiyuan found Jiang Tian again and decided to invest in the "Xiangjun Vocational and Technical School" under Jiang Tian's name.
"Now that the domestic economy is developing rapidly, various professional and technical talents will definitely be in short supply in the future. Tiantian, have you ever thought about getting in touch with some fields that you have never been involved in before through the technical talents who graduated from your school?"
Jiang Tian was surprised: "Uncle Tong, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that there are some industries that we really don't understand. Even if we want to make money in them, we can't make that money if we can't find the way and don't have reserve talents."
"However, we can increase the number of majors in vocational and technical schools and allow graduates from our schools to enter these industries first. If in the future, these people have the opportunity to start a business but do not have enough start-up capital, then we can choose some industries with good development prospects and invest as major shareholders, allowing these outstanding graduates to help us make money in various industries."
Jiang Tian’s eyes widened.
Isn’t this the “angel investment” that big capitalists in later generations like to play with?
Use the capital you have to invest in some potential projects. Among a dozen projects, as long as one of them takes off, you can earn back the money you invested a hundred times or ten thousand times...
Wow, I didn’t expect that!
Boss Tong, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually likes to play business warfare.
It's this way of doing business war that is a little bit unethical.
According to Boss Tong's strategy, they first send graduates to various industries and let outside companies help them continue to cultivate talents.
When they want to enter a certain industry, they will use channels like "class reunions" and "hometown associations" to quickly find their school's "outstanding alumni" in this industry, and then recruit them back with high salaries... Tsk!
Sure enough, the highest-end business wars often adopt the simplest methods.
Stealing other people's business secrets is illegal, but stealing the professional and technical talents that others have worked hard to cultivate is the right thing to do, and there is nothing wrong with that!
"What do you think? Do you want to do it? If you don't dare to do it, I will open a vocational and technical school myself." Tong Zhiyuan provoked her.
Jiang Tian raised her neck and said, "What's there to be afraid of? But I'm still in school. If the vocational school expands, Uncle Tong, you have to come and help."
It would be a good idea to find something for Tong Zhiyuan to do. Only when a person is busy can he slowly get out of the pain.
After the two finished talking, it was already dark outside.
Tong Zhiyuan was worried that it was unsafe for Jiang Tian to walk alone at night, and originally wanted to send her home. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out, he saw Han Jisong at the door.
Watching Jiang Tian smilingly getting on Han Jisong's motorcycle and waving at him, Tong Zhiyuan smiled, but his heart was bitter.
If Xiaoyan had not listened to Xu Hongli, but instead went on a blind date with the boy he arranged for her, slowly got to know each other, and then got married, even though there would not be any passionate love, at least she would still be alive and well now, right?
