Chapter 31 Plan ahead

These days, Feng Yiping is already very familiar with Wang Changning's family. He greeted Wang Changning's mother, "Auntie, are you picking up soybeans."

"Well, Yiping is here, come and sit down and drink water."

Feng Yiping hurriedly said no, and Wang Changning walked out of the room, "Hey, it's so early."

The two of them moved chairs and square stools to the backyard and started to do their homework. Wang Changning was slow to do the questions and was very steady. Later, he studied "Mechanical Mapping" in a technical secondary school. The pictures he made were also the cleanest and most beautiful in the class. Everyone has their own characteristics. If they have the opportunity and can perform well, success is inevitable. For example, Wang Changning later became a golden collar with an annual salary of more than 2 million yuan, and he was only one step away from becoming the boss of a listed company.

Feng Yiping quickly and well finished his homework besides composition and was basking in the sun leisurely.

Wang Changning was doing English homework, and there was a tense that was not accurate. He asked Feng Yiping, and after that, he said, "Why do I feel like you have something wrong today?"

Feng Yiping didn't need to hide it from him, "When lunch, my aunt and my third aunt had another fight."

Wang Changning smiled, "It's so much now. When your second aunt was there, the frequency was even higher."

"Haha," Feng Yiping could only smile.

"It's okay, look at it, it's all the same. There are not many sisters-in-law who can still get along well with each other." Wang Changning comforted him.

"Oh, it's related to me today. My third aunt said she wanted to borrow money from my family. If she could have money now, she didn't know that my family's foreign debt has not been paid off yet, so she could not afford it. After all, it was still a mess, so she had to find a way to make money."

After hearing this topic, Wang Changning also fell silent. Xiao Zhijie's family was in good condition. The two families were in similar conditions. Both farmed and his mother was not in good health. Although she was not in the hospital several times like Mei Qiuping, she had been suffering from minor illnesses. Fortunately, his sister was very sensible and went to a textile factory to work before she graduated from junior high school. She saved a lot. She only left a fraction of her salary and sent most of her salary home to subsidize her family.

"Changning, I went to Xiao Zhijie's house last time and mentioned it to his house. If we didn't do well in the middle school entrance examination, I hope our family can support us in repeating the exam. Do you also discuss it with your family in advance?"

Wang Changning simply stopped writing. His grades were similar to those of Xiao Zhijie, both of which were among the top ten in the class. At present, it is very difficult to get into the first high school entrance examination in the middle school entrance examination. "Xiao Zhijie and I are really not sure. If you keep it, there will definitely be no problem. I haven't thought that far yet. What should I do if I can't pass the exam by then? Of course, I want to continue studying. But the situation in both of our families is similar. Do you think your family can still provide support at that time?"

"I will discuss this with you today. You know, my parents are in the provincial capital now."

"I know, it's selling candy fried chestnuts. Your grandfather and uncle said it when they came to collect chestnuts."

"Yes, I want to tell you this today. This small business is not very invested, and the risks are not very high. It is certain that my parents can sell more than 10 kilograms a day on average, 6 yuan per kilogram, and the gross profit of one kilogram is nearly two yuan. On average, it can be two or three hundred yuan a month, and 3,000 yuan a year can still be made."

"Three thousand yuan?" Wang Changning's eyes lit up. You should know that throughout the year, her sister worked hard and might be able to get home for 800 yuan.

"Yes, it's at least 3,000 yuan. My parents are very frugal now. They don't spend money outside to buy what they can take from home. They can earn at least 400 yuan this month."

“That’s really good.”

"This year is because we were not sure about it, so it is difficult to invite people to do it. You can find an opportunity to discuss this with your parents. This year is too late, so you can try it next year. It is not difficult to do this. My parents are very familiar with it, so you can learn it for a day or two."

Wang Changning was very interested, "Will that affect your family?"

Feng Yiping said affirmatively, "How could it be? The provincial capital is so big, not to mention more one, it's okay to have dozens of ones. Besides, we can't always push the stalls to sell on the street. When they make money, pay off their debts, and have some savings, they will find a way to rent a shop, fix it, open a noodle shop, or something, and it's easier."

Wang Changning leaned over, "It's really good to hear what you said. If the family can make some money, we can ask the family for resuming the exam, otherwise we will not be satisfied. You can tell me carefully, I can tell the family, but I will first agree. If my parents don't know anything else, go and tell them, okay!"

"No problem, or not to mention it now. My parents will come back for the New Year. I will ask them more clearly and directly."

It’s not that Feng Yiping had any obsession with studying in college. They all worked in private enterprises later. Of course, they only had a diploma from their junior college, and they couldn’t get into state-owned enterprises if they wanted to get close to them. Private enterprises did not only have diplomas.

First of all, the first generation of entrepreneurial private business owners have many common qualities, such as being pragmatic, willing to learn, daring to think and do, keen, good at seizing opportunities..., and many more.

Another point is that among them, there are definitely those who have received higher education, but the proportion is absolutely a very small number. However, not receiving higher education does not mean that they have no knowledge. In the process of entrepreneurship, realistic needs force them to continuously enrich and improve themselves, so many of them may only receive high school education, and there are still many, or even only receive junior primary education. However, their knowledge is not narrower than those high-quality talents who have received master's or doctoral education, let alone emotional intelligence.

Therefore, their personal life and entrepreneurial experience determine that they will not choose others with diplomas.

Secondly, it is for cost considerations. Capital is profit-seeking. In some state-owned enterprises, this statement does not necessarily apply, but in private enterprises, it is absolutely true.

For the same position and the same salary, if college students are willing to compete with the same level of higher education, they will certainly be welcomed. But this is not realistic. For the same position, if you give technical secondary school students 1,500 a month, he can accept it. He will work hard first, learn more, and then move forward slowly.

College students are different, regardless of whether they have room for growth based on their own conditions, they first require space for development, and they must solve the household registration and the main urban area. Finally, there is the salary issue. Are you embarrassed to let me and those universities open where they can get the same salary?

Then, at work, Feng Yiping and the others also came into contact with many college students. Later, it was really difficult for you to find a college student who had no university diploma.

Among these prides of heaven, there are many who are truly talented and capable, but some of them are indeed inconsistent with their names.

The first college student in the company was called back by the head of the group's human resources department. When he first arrived at the company, he did not set up a position for him, so he asked him to make arrangements and find some places to improve.

Then this man is indeed quite free. He never goes to and from get off work according to the company's scheduled schedule. It is difficult to find before and after work, and it is easy to find it when eating. It is rare to find it in the company, where there are many girls, he stays for a long time. Because he graduated from Shanghai Jiaotong University, he often says, "General Secretary, that's my alumni."

A week later, the company held a regular meeting, and all the managers, including the general manager and external consultants, were present on time. After one-third of the agenda, he came leisurely and took a stool carelessly and sat at the end of the conference room by the door.

The general manager then said that the top students from Shanghai Jiaotong University are welcome to talk about the problems he has discovered these days.

So everyone applauded. This man was prepared. He took out a notebook and talked casually for more than ten minutes. The people below were confused. What was he talking about?

After saying that, but there was no applause in anticipation. Most people were kind-hearted, lowering their heads to meditate, or recording something in their notebooks. There were a few people who were not very kind and didn't like him to behave and laughed out loud on the spot.

The general manager still understands the situation and his ideas are very good, but because he has been in the company for too short and his understanding is not very comprehensive, these ideas can be improved in future work.

Then, there was no more. On the third day, he was notified to go to the management department to complete the resignation procedures. Before leaving, he put down his words, "I didn't want to come to such a company."

In 2000, the group hired an expert who returned from the United States for an annual salary of 2 million yuan to serve as the vice president of the group. He also visited the company for a few days. To be honest, his knowledge, demeanor, temperament, conversation, and cultivation were really useless. He conquered the company from the general manager to the doorman and the guards, including the wolf dog in the backyard. The forties of the man has a very good figure, no bald head, no beer belly, and his posture is also very agile on the company's court.

After four days of research in the company, he finally convened a meeting of all employees. From details such as work clothes to the company's long-term planning, he listed many problems. The problems were found and he also gave solutions to the problems. These methods were agreed by the company's middle-level supervisors to front-line employees, but the key people would definitely not agree, such as the group's shareholders and chairman.

For example, he said that professional work should be handed over to professional people and professional tools to assist. For example, unloading goods is done together after get off work. He proposed that this is a waste of professional talents. With this time, everyone can contact customers more to create greater benefits. In case of any employee being injured in the process, it will bring a series of troubles. Therefore, either outsourcing the work, handing it over to a professional company, or setting up a new department for the company and equipped with professional forklift lifts, etc.

In addition, the inadequate configuration of office software and hardware will greatly affect work efficiency and capital turnover. If the software and hardware are in place and the same work is handled, it will only take 60% of the original time to greatly improve work efficiency. At the same time, the company's inventory will be maintained at an ideal level and save huge financial costs.

Feng Yiping and Xiao Zhijie saw that the general manager on the stage was taking notes with his head down, but his face was full of bitterness. He was almost complaining, "Are you here to help me solve the problem or to smash the situation?"

Because according to what he said, not to mention how much the unloading part will increase the cost, purchasing office software and hardware alone will spend all the company's registered capital, which is probably not enough.

As the vice president investigated one company after another under the group and introduced one solution after another, he quickly faded out of everyone's sight.

It cannot be said that the solution he proposed is wrong, it is all right, but it should be placed in developed countries such as Europe, the United States, or Japan, at least it does not conform to the actual national conditions of our country at that time.

Feng Yiping had a customer who set up a factory to produce clothing machinery. In order to expand his business, he hired a top student from the marketing management department of a prestigious university with a high salary. Because it was a small factory, the boss was responsible for the business. After the college student came, the boss drove Santana to take him to the business.

At that time, people who started a business had not yet developed the habit of wearing luxury goods from head to toe. The boss's clothes were similar to those of college students. College students were tall and tidy, and their image was better than those of some black and thin bosses.

So many times, when we arrived at a company we were in contact with, the person in charge regarded the college students who came down from the co-driver as the boss, and enthusiastically went up to greet them, but regarded the real boss as the driver.

The college student always explained that it was my boss, but he didn't think of other ways to avoid this happening again. For example, it was very simple. After getting off the bus, first go to the back seat to carry the boss's briefcase, and then follow the boss who got off the bus. Others would not misunderstand it, or ask the boss to learn driving. This situation would not happen again and again, but he did not.

Maybe from the bottom of his heart, he never really looked down on these little bosses who were very rustic from dress to conversation. They felt that they were just lucky, so when they were mistaken, although they were embarrassed, they actually felt a little joy and pride in their hearts.

In just a few months, the boss had fully mastered the routines and skills of college students when negotiating with others, so he transferred the college students to the office, then placed them in the workshop, and then the top students left by themselves.

Although this incident is a bit funny, it is very common for talents hired from high salaries to be uncomfortable with this kind of thing.

So later, many company bosses understood one thing: recruiting people, not looking at diplomas or resumes, but only looking at character. If you have good character, you will train them in the company, take them with you, teach them by example, and spend money to ask them to conduct various trainings. The talents cultivated in this way are the talents needed and the talents that are applicable.

But for Feng Yiping and others, is diploma really not important? Of course it is important. For the same job, they earn 1,500, and college students are tens of percent higher than them. Feng Yiping and others have been working on the front line for more than two years and devoted their efforts to the company. Only then did they slowly mention the middle-level team, and after another three years, they finally became the independent branch manager.

Those college students are at the front line for at most three months, and then enter the office, saving nearly two years.

However, there are very few college students who recruited companies at the same time as Feng Yiping and others, and eventually they became branch managers or group executives. They have many opportunities to choose, and often they switch jobs to other companies in the middle of the journey. This cycle may not necessarily lead to high achievements.

Feng Yiping and others who did not have a college diploma and succeeded by luck later. It was not that they had the best ability, but that they had no choice and forced them out.

Moreover, Feng Yiping was going to go to college, not for a diploma. Although the three of them later learned a lot of things and participated in a lot of training at their own expense, they were at least much less efficient than those who had received a systematic university education. For example, for the same problem, they were reading and studying by themselves, and they couldn't find a suitable person to ask for advice. It took a lot of time, and they might not be able to understand correctly and comprehensively. But at school, there was a teacher who gave me a guide and said one word to the confused. The time was short, the effect was good, and it was more solid and comprehensive.

Generally speaking, those who are professionals must always have a stronger potential than those who are wild. This is what Feng Yiping wants.

When Feng Yiping left, Wang Changning's mother kept food enthusiastically. Feng Yiping said that his grandfather was alone at home and he still had to go back to accompany him.

When I returned to my grandfather's house, my grandfather was steaming rice, "I'm going to call you more than I'm going to."

Feng Yiping smiled and said, "Don't call, I will definitely go home on time when I eat."

Grandpa said, "I didn't stir-fry even the leftovers from noon."

"Enough grandpa, we can't finish all these meals at one meal."

"Okay, please help me see the fire in the stove and I'll go find your uncle."

After a while, my uncle followed my grandfather, holding a vise and a screwdriver in his hand, and preparing to remove the two wheels.

Feng Yiping went over to help and saw a load of thatch in the backyard, which must have been cut by his grandfather in the afternoon.

In the evening, my third uncle came to my grandfather's house with a flashlight. My grandfather asked him, "Is Yangyang okay?"

"It's okay, just my eyes are a little red. The doctor said it will be fine in two days."

Grandpa stopped talking.

The third uncle mainly came to Feng Yiping, "Yiping, you originally paid for good things, but it turned out like this. Don't take it to heart. Your aunt is impulsive in doing things, but she has no bad intentions. Today I have already talked about her. Although your parents can make some hard money now, they still owe so much debt outside, so where can they borrow money? Don't take your aunt's lies to heart."

My third uncle spoke quickly and urgently. In my mother's words, my third uncle spoke a bit like a woman.

Feng Yiping said, "I know all my uncle, I know all about it. You know all about my family. This year, my grandfather and uncle helped collect so many chestnuts. At the end of the year, we must find a way to pay back the money. After paying it back, we probably won't have the money to pay back the old accounts of previous years, but I think it will be better next year, and we will definitely be able to pay off the foreign debt next year, and then that's fine."

My third uncle said, "It's good that you understand. You tell your parents that if the year is in trouble at the end of the year, you will tell me that I can't help with it if I can't help it for a few hundred yuan."

Feng Yiping knew that his third uncle must have this intention. When they were young, they were all led by Mei Qiuping, the eldest sister of the elder brother. They had a good relationship, but whether they could do it was really different. My third aunt was so powerful, and my third uncle was quite rude. He could definitely not say that he could beat his third aunt. There are actually many such tough women in the countryside, not only are they powerful outside, but also at home. There are many people fighting with their own men.

After leaving my grandfather's house, Feng Yiping heard that his third uncle went to his next door again, and probably explained the matter during the day. Therefore, it is also beneficial to say that the third uncle is a stingy person. One of the brothers must first bow his head. The brothers are still reasonable, and one person put down his posture first, so the rest are easy to say. If both of them are stubborn and over time, they will definitely affect the relationship between the two wives.
