When Mu Qingqing first t Chen Pingsheng, she didn’t know his identity, and later, when she found out, she completely left.
Then ca the restructuring of Tengying Group, which shook the entire business world in China and caused a dostic sensation.
Subsequently, Research Island was brought into the lilight, becoming the most famous mysterious place in the country.
Years later, the founder of the Chen Family, after the passing of his wife, stood once again under the gaze of countless prominent journalists from elite circles.
What exactly does he want to say, and what kind of signals will he send to the outside world?
All of this is incredibly attention-grabbing and makes countless people eagerly await.
Including Jiang Wangzhi and her sister, who had just completed their recognition ceremony, now watched excitedly at the man on stage deed a legend by the dostic business community.
He is already seventy-three, his hair white, and if it weren’t for unfinished tasks, he might have already accompanied his wife in leaving this world.
What is it that even he hasn’t completed?
Mu Qingqing stood very much at the front; today, there were no interview sessions, only this god-like man calmly speaking.
Chen Pingsheng sat casually and leisurely, holding a black microphone, clearly transmitting his words to every corner of the banquet hall.
He spoke lightly: "Many of those present are old friends, so I won’t go into pleasantries.
"I know what you are most concerned about, which is nothing more than how to make more money or make your family a little more powerful.
"Unfortunately, the topic I’m discussing today has nothing to do with that. It’s about family legacy and responsibility.
"My wife has been gone for less than a month, and during this ti, I often recall our past together.
"I still rember her asking a question that echoes in my ear at the very end. At the ti, I couldn’t understand why she would ask that, but after so grinding ti, I figured it out.
"She asked , do you rember the ti when we lived in a tiny rented apartnt in the Capital City, what was your biggest purpose for making money?
"I said at the ti, my greatest motivation for making money was to give you the best life possible.
"Then she asked, what if you earn a lot of money afterwards?
"At that ti, I was silent because I never thought about this question, including when she left, she asked again. I think she had already made the decision for ."
Chen Pingsheng said: "I spent the first half of my life achieving sothing from nothing, bringing the family from weakness to strength, and afterward spent ten years nurturing my children because I believed that the enterprise I founded would definitely be left to my children in the future.
"I think many entrepreneurs have this idea, family business first, only when you have a family can you own the world.
"This idea isn’t wrong, because Huaxia has been like this for five thousand years.
"However, this creates a big problem. I was born poor, experienced a lot of hardships growing up, but it was different when my children were born. With as their father, they lived a life of luxury from the mont they were born. What is the hardship of the human world?
"To them, it might be living in a house less than three hundred square ters, driving a car less than a million, wearing clothes worth a few hundred to thousands per piece.
"Let’s ask ourselves honestly, in family enterprises, countless involve people’s livelihoods and grassroots industries. Considering their birth and second-generation growth experiences, can they really aid those employees and enterprises in better developnt?
"The answer is certainly no."
Chen Pingsheng does not like to pontificate, nor does he like talking about grand principles. He only wants to speak about real things based on his actual experience.
"During the growth process of a second or third-generation family mber, even if they receive our best training, it’s still hard for them to match the elite talents erging from tens of thousands of people within the group.
"The simplest logic, you’re just doing your utmost to cultivate a few family children, but those excellent employees who rose from ordinary interns to managerial, presidential levels, didn’t they fight their way through a narrow bridge overcoming nurous obstacles to achieve their current positions?
"Does their effort since childhood not surpass your solitary cultivation?
"The significance of discussing this issue is nothing else, but that after Tengying Group’s forty years of developnt, many company executives, including project companies, have second- and third-generation workers. Although I have repeatedly prohibited it, such situations continue unabated.
"When everyone seeks all sorts of thods to arrange their descendants into the Group, wanting them to inherit the wealth left by their struggling predecessors, have you ever thought about how this will endlessly burden the Group and slow down its execution power?
"If it continues this way, we, who once overturned the market, will surely be surpassed by new innovators who bear no burden, only focused on surviving a bit better as enterprises.
"My wife in her later years handed over her wealth accumulated over decades, and even now, I dare say she is truly a philanthropist. Even I might not compare.
"Today, I am telling you all these things for just one purpose, to totally transform Tengying Group, including Research Island, from a family developing group into a socially responsible enterprise under people’s supervision.
"The restriction on outsiders entering Research Island for ten years will also be canceled. Every year, countless representatives from various industries will be selected to jointly participate and execute decisions on the island.
"Tengying Group will also open a complaint website for the entire group, including online information sections, welcoming constant consur and public supervision.
"In the next twenty years, my only focus would probably be to eliminate the internal human relations and biases within the group. The only way to completely eliminate this part is for the enterprise, including Research Island, to fully accept transparent managent and consurs’ and the public’s supervision. In this process, I will provide the highest permissions for consur and public oversight, ensuring every good suggestion they make is accepted by the enterprise.
"To develop a great and strong centennial enterprise or even a group, I personally think it’s crucial to avoid being a family-run business.
"After the family becos wealthy, through generations of heritage, no matter how you cultivate, it often falls short, at least not as good as those talented individuals who can rise from among millions from poor families."
Chen Pingsheng simply gave everyone a speech, and although his words were plain, their significance was unimaginably imnse.
This made the elites present feel incredible.
Even reporters like Mu Qingqing and others were excited about it.
Originally, everyone thought that Chen Pingsheng, the founder of the Chen Family and a legendary figure in the business world.
In the last twenty years of his life, he would surely consolidate the family’s power and allow the Chen family’s descendants to enter the Group’s senior managent or even the position of Research Island’s director.
Unexpectedly, his final twenty years were instead thinking of abandoning family-style developnt.
And turning the Group entirely into an enterprise practicing public, fair, and just, fully subject to consur and public supervision managent.
The difference between these two is enormous.
One is continuously strengthening the family’s influence, and the other is continually weakening the family’s influence.
Undoubtedly, the founder of the Chen Family chose the latter in his later life.
For this reason alone, he deservedly beca a legend.
