Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

The next morning.

After having breakfast at the hotel, everyone took the company bus to a small town in Wang County.

Thanks to the abundant water resources in Wang County, many fields have been turned into rice paddies, specifically for breeding crayfish.

As for the fishponds, most of them breed valuable aquatic products like softshell turtles and Chinese mitten crabs.

The interns came just in time to help catch the crabs.

Additionally, they also visited the crayfish breeding process.

Unlike typical farmers who rely solely on experience, here they have dedicated agricultural breeding technical experts in charge.

There’s also a substantial marketing department supporting the entire sales process.

Tengnong Breeding has developed over the years and has already perfected various aspects.

Chen Pingsheng arranged for Er Piya to catch crabs with Jiang Yilan and Lin Qiunan, even preparing a pair of extra-thick gloves for her.

To prevent the little one from getting pinched and burst into tears.

As for the older girl Chen An’an, she went crab catching as well.

December temperatures were quite low, mostly below ten degrees Celsius.

The two little ones skipped along and must bear a bit of hardship.

He then accompanied Chu Qiuyan, Chang Fu, and Yang Qian to listen to an overall report by the agricultural professor Yang Weimin.

Tengnong Breeding till today, still undertakes certain social responsibilities.

According to Chen Pingsheng himself, rural people without educational degrees wouldn’t see any major international corporations relocating to such places.

To improve the basic appearance of the countryside, it had to start from their most expansive asset—the land.

On just the first day, all interns were only starting to understand what exactly Tengnong Breeding was doing!

After three days had passed, when everyone learned that the Tengnong Breeding project had benefited over one million rural population.

They truly felt a sense of pride.

On December 19th, the Tengying Group booked an entire five-star hotel.

To host a pioneering "Tengnong Breeding Special Development Conference".

The participants of this conference were not only over one thousand interns but also included CEOs from various enterprises under Tengying Group.

Lin Qiunan felt the conference was unusually high-profile; Snacks Dash, Tenghui Department Store including Fei Yangyang’s new CEO, and even presidents from Xin Teng Live Streaming and Teng You Media were all present.

Clearly, only the low-profile Professor Chen could command the presence of so many heavyweights.

When interns officially leave the university to report to Tengying Group, each would receive a graduation bonus of fifty thousand.

This was both an encouragement and support from the group to them as they step into society.

Regrettably, they hadn’t yet heard a special speech from the Tengying Big Boss.

Unlike the professors at Financial University, previous graduates generally had a big boss speech arranged upon joining.

But now, those were increasingly rare.

So after finishing a day’s return to farming activity, everyone had dinner and came to participate.

They just didn’t expect so many CEO-level individuals to attend as well. @@novelbin@@

Clearly this event was not just for the interns but also targeted at those CEOs who are already financially free.

Chen Pingsheng didn’t mince his words; the reason he organized this farm returning activity was to let everyone understand the true future direction of the group.

This was both a responsibility and a part of corporate culture.

"Since the reform and opening up of the 1980s, our country’s slogan has always been ’let some people get rich first to drive the wealth of others’.

"Over the years, our wealthy class, including myself, can be said to be so rich that it’s flowing out, and it’s not an exaggeration to say a large part also can’t sleep because of their wealth, thus trying all means to transfer assets overseas.

"But I think, if the rich transfer their money overseas, then who will uplift these bottom-level farmers?

"I am not pointing fingers with this statement, just sharing my personal feelings.

"Many years ago, all my efforts were aimed at buying a small 100-square-meter house in Capital City for my wife and children, a place to shelter from the elements.

Eventually, I got the house, from one hundred square meters to one thousand, even owning villas in all top-tier cities nationwide, then I asked my daughters; do you have anything else you want to buy?

They thought for a long time and couldn’t come up with anything."

Then I realized that our family was so wealthy that even our children didn’t know what to buy anymore.

To prevent them from becoming too arrogant, I took my daughter to a village in the city and opened a small restaurant, where I worked as a chef for two months.

As you know, I am not only the boss of Tengying but also the father of my daughter, so I have to put a lot of effort into their education.

There, we met a father who was a migrant worker and his son who was a university student.

The older generation doesn’t want their children to suffer too much, so they do everything possible to get their children into a good university. They think that after attending a good university, their future won’t be like theirs—facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky every day.

Then still lives a life without dignity, busy and bustling, and even sitting on a bus could be frowned upon by others for the smell of sweat.

These are the migrant workers who built our cities.

What he thought was just an assumption, and the reality is that today’s university success depends on academic performance in school and parents’ support after graduation.

A college student who can’t even afford a better learning laptop, do you think he can really find a good job after graduation?

The actual situation doesn’t need guessing, I believe you can all imagine.

Why do I specifically mention this case? Because there are still too many migrant workers like this in the world.

Why did I go through the thankless task of establishing the unprofitable Tengnong Breeding Group with an investment of billions?

It’s because I know, in the city, people can afford luxury cars like Panamera, but the countryside will never see the letter that changes their fate.

Moreover, most retired workers in the city have ample pensions.

But not in the countryside.

And I, I’m so rich that even my daughter doesn’t know what to buy!

At that time, I often thought about how to truly improve this situation.

The answer lies in Tengnong Breeding.

We need to gather the most professional agricultural technology team and the largest marketing department to reclaim those idle or extremely inefficient lands from the countryside.

Use these lands to generate a second income for them.

My ultimate plan for Tengnong Breeding is not to take a single penny of local income for ten years.

Every penny made there will be used to improve the backward education and basic medical facilities in the countryside.

And to upgrade their consumer environment as well.

Today, we have only influenced one million rural households, but in the next ten years, I believe we can impact tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of rural households.

This is the largest charitable and rural assistance project of Tengying Group for the next ten years.

And every one of you is a participant in it.

We need to fundamentally improve the basic living environment of some of the countryside.

"This is the future of Tengying Group and the responsibility we must take on!"

After Chen Pingsheng’s speech, there was prolonged silence below.

Finally, someone, with tears in their eyes, stood up to applaud, and then everyone spontaneously stood up.

Yes, when a business grows to a certain size, is it really just about making money?

Absolutely not.

It should also bear a greater social significance, and it’s clear that Tengying Group is putting effort into this area.

Just like its recruitment targets, primarily aimed at rural college students who cannot find good jobs.

Its responsibility is also placed on the broadest rural lands in the country.

If you don’t participate, even without witnessing these few days,

you wouldn’t realize that Tengnong Breeding was established to improve rural life.

Such responsibility and dreams are powerful enough to deeply affect everyone.

This is what Chen Pingsheng meant by creating Tengying’s own core values and corporate culture.

With these in place, it’s enough to keep Tengying Group thriving for twenty years.

This may sound exaggerated, but he knows as long as he is here, there won’t be much change.

And the time he can truly use to strive may be just less than twenty years.

By then, it’s about time for the next generation to take over.
