Chen Pingsheng’s words were quite plain, yet when he finished, it was like a bolt from the blue.
It shocked countless affluent families.
The Modu Chen Family, such a powerful business family, the Chen Family, with several Qilin’ers, is now, in the twilight of his life, deciding to turn everything he established.
Completely into public ownership, which is tantamount to relinquishing family influence.
Using a family to achieve more for others.
This was not initially ant to have an interview session, yet nurous reporters stood up imdiately, including Mu Qingqing, a financial journalist who once made a na for herself by interviewing the retired vice president of Tengying Group.
"Mr. Chen, may I ask why you’ve suddenly made such a decision?"
Chen Pingsheng looked at her, still looked familiar, but it had been so years since they last t.
"It’s actually quite simple; mainly, I personally think our Chen Family no longer lacks money, even with our current accumulation, we could remain wealthy for ten generations, a hundred generations without any issue. But business is different; if I only consider passing the enterprise on to my family, sooner or later, these enterprises will quickly decline because each generation is worse than the last."
Chen Pingsheng smiled and said, "Though I don’t want to admit it, offspring genuinely tend to be worse with each generation. For example, even within our Chen Family’s three generations, there are star-chasers, which to us seems absurd, yet to them, it’s very normal. I’m sure it’s not just my Chen Clan like this; this is common among affluent families. Private enterprises differ from state monopoly; they must constantly maintain a sense of crisis in market competition. The mont an unworthy heir takes over, that enterprise might quickly vanish.
"That’s the answer from a market perspective. Another crucial point is, I always believe only when the Chinese people beco prosperous can we truly be well, and so too can the companies of people like us.
"If it were like before, with money concentrated in the hands of a few wealthy individuals, who then take that money abroad to spend, it’s a never-ending vicious cycle.
"Therefore, today, I, Chen Pingsheng, call on everyone that once a company reaches a certain scale, it should not remain in the hands of one or two families; it should beco a social enterprise serving more for employees and social responsibility.
"Everyone here doesn’t lack money anymore. Since money isn’t lacking, the only thing left to pursue is power, and in our country, seeking too much of this thing is still extrely dangerous.
"I hope everyone remains vigilant."
He put it as a piece of advice, although he wouldn’t say too much.
Mu Qingqing got the answers she wanted from two perspectives.
But she imdiately asked the next question.
"Mr. Chen, after Research Island opens, will we journalists be able to visit, and is it true that those industry workers at the bottom will be invited to participate in decisions?"
"This question is sowhat aningful."
Chen Pingsheng said, "I don’t know if everyone has noticed in recent years, but many expert opinions spark public ire as soon as they are spoken. Why? Mainly because they are out of touch with reality, like ’let them eat cake.’ In reforming the bottom industry, including welfare design, if you don’t invite these people in to participate and only rely on economists sitting in air-conditioned offices to design, I personally think it’s nonsense."
Many burst into laughter. These words made sense, but coming from Chen Pingsheng, they had a certain humor.
The main thing is that he has the world’s top intellectual team under him.
And he said that relying solely on them to design welfare for the bottom industry is not as good as inviting those workers up.
For example, designing welfare for the food delivery industry, asking experts more is less reliable than honestly asking those couriers who have been running for years.
This is down-to-earth; everything should be down-to-earth.
The Chen Family’s descendants’ lives have started to beco increasingly out of touch, hence the ergence of soone boring like Chen Wuyou, who chases stars.
And soone as unreliable as Chen Youcai.
Subsequently, several journalists asked related topics.
Starting from May, Research Island will bring at least a hundred grassroots workers from each industry every month to the island to jointly discuss industry developnt directions, including product design and other issues.
As for changes in the leadership of Research Island, Zhang Wanyi’s ten-year term is up, and the selection of the next dean must still go through an open and just vote.
Whether An’an can take over remains a huge question.
However, no matter whether she takes the position of dean, as long as Chen Pingsheng is around, no one’s influence can surpass his.
His words always remain the most important.
So, he has to hold on for another twenty years to ensure Research Island can develop for another hundred years.
As long as Research Island exists, the Chen Family’s influence will actually never disappear.
Instead, it will continue to grow. Conversely, once Research Island ceases to exist, but the Chen Family still has so much money, that’s the real danger.
Not only is there the danger of property disappearing, there’s also a significant threat to the life safety of the Chen Family.
The current Chen Pingsheng is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
His strategic foresight is no longer confined to ten or twenty years.
Back then, why did Du Yuesheng tear all the debt notes before he left?
If he hadn’t torn those notes, when the Du Family’s descendants went to ask those rich and powerful for money,
guess what the result would be?
Chen Pingsheng never does things rely to satisfy one or two reasons.
He’s definitely soone who thinks from multiple angles.
Including after he leaves, donating all the family money to charity, which is also sending a very good signal to the outside world.
Their family’s money is all ant to be returned to society.
Only then can they move forward steadily and further.
The human heart is complicated, and Chen Pingsheng only spoke about so surface reasons.
It doesn’t delve too deeply into family inheritance.
One thing he said is certainly true: Modu Chen Family’s future needs no worry; no matter how many descendants, they will only live the life of affluent leisure.
The remaining ti of the club was naturally spent in private gatherings.
No one who could share a small circle drink with Chen Pingsheng was not among the wealthiest dostically.
Or well-known entrepreneurs at the top of their industries.
No matter which circle, he’s undoubtedly the primary figure.
This is inseparable from his decades of low-key style and behavior.
One could say Chen Pingsheng is the least fond of exaggeration and doesn’t like bluffing or misleading friends in the circle.
So people are quite senseless, when their investnt projects incur substantial losses, they rack their brains to have friends pay the bill.
Whenever this happens, they are collectively rejected.
It was said that in recent years, Tong Zelan and Shen Nanpeng made substantial profits overseas and have thought about moving back.
It must be said that after living to over seventy, Chen Pingsheng, in the true sense, had very few true friends left.
Most who should have left had already left, even his wife, who always accompanied him, had done so as well.
