The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

May Day holiday.

Mu Qingqing did not leave the island. She and the other reporters still had a month to cover the interviews.

As the press corps conducts further research and interviews, information about this idyllic research island is being rapidly studied by major companies and universities.

In the past, the outside world could only hear bits and pieces about everything on the island, and it was not yet real.

Now things are different. These journalists are authorized by the founder and with the permission of Dean Zhang Wanyi to interview and report on any issue on the island.

Such sensitive clashes of ideas include family-based development versus corporate autonomy.

This topic has sparked a series of disputes.

Thanks to Mu Qingqing and her team's reports, the most authentic and genuine picture of Jingyan Island has been presented to the outside world.

And the legendary career of the founder, Chen Pingsheng, is once again brought to the forefront for everyone.

The core development philosophy of Jingyan Island has always been that only when ordinary people have money can the economy truly enter an upward internal cycle.

Only then can these companies develop in a positive direction.

Over the years, Jingyan Island has been committed to creating a talent diversion plan for grassroots industries.

By diverting talent, the problem of clustering in certain low-end industries such as chefs, hairdressers, and auto repair shops can be fundamentally solved.

As the saying goes, rural children have three treasures: hairdressing, car repair, and cooking.

The main reason for this is that rural parents have limited resources, and the choices they can offer their children are extremely limited.

Choice is more important than effort. If you make the wrong choice from the beginning, you may waste a few years of your youth, or even spend your whole life without knowing what you are really suited to do.

Therefore, the achievements of Jingyan Island in recent years can be said to have greatly improved the living standards of ordinary people and future employment opportunities in all aspects.

Now it has opened up access to the island to people from all walks of life; all that is needed is to apply in advance.

Once approved, one can stay on the island for free for at least a week, or up to a month.

Given the economic achievements of the island, it does not need to provide commercial services to any foreign tourists to earn fees.

Instead, it will only use the most comfortable environment to satisfy the outside world's curiosity about everything on the island.

And it was under these circumstances that Xiamen University...

Xiamen University, which has long been known as one of the most beautiful universities in China, is undoubtedly a place that people yearn for.

In this small community of the university, groups of students would always sit around the lawn.

At some point in the past, it must have been many years ago.

The founder of Tengying Group gave a public speech at Xiamen University, which was forty years ago.

However, as the influence of the founder of Tengying Group grew, he made indelible contributions to a series of basic livelihood industries in China, including the basic service industry.

Xiamen University has collected a video of a speech by the founder of Tengying Group in its library.

Every year, countless outstanding students, experts, and professors from the economics field go to observe.

From that time onward, the founder of Tengying Group developed his technological empire with the most advanced and pragmatic concepts.

Decades later, those who joined Tengying Group at his call are now, if not all, financially independent.

At least 80% have already achieved a double harvest of personal reputation and money.

Every year, people from Tencent Film Group return to the school to give speeches, their words filled with respect and admiration for the founder, Chen Pingsheng.

As the Tencent Group grew larger, it proposed the construction of a domestic super economic research institute after 2025, which was the predecessor of the Economic Research Island.

Xiamen University students have also lived up to expectations, becoming members of the Economic Research Island as early as 2040. Eight years later, they joined the advisory group.

They enjoy lifelong benefits for three generations, and even after leaving the island, they will still be among the absolute elite of society.

Every year, he is invited back to his alma mater to give a speech, telling his younger schoolmates about everything he did on the Economic Research Island.

According to him, if given the chance, anyone should visit Jingyan Island at least once in their lifetime.

The environment there, including the people who live there, are all top figures in some field on Earth.

After bringing these people together, the most discussed topic every day was how to improve the company's competitiveness while providing employee salaries.

In addition, it provides a series of advanced influences in major industries related to people's livelihoods.

We were influenced by this atmosphere every day on the island, and we always felt that if we couldn't fulfill the mission of a generation, all the financial freedom we had would be meaningless.

During the years he joined the advisory group, Mr. Chen Pingsheng, the founder of Tengying Group, also spent four or five years on the island.

His ideas and thoughts can be said to have far surpassed the concept of ordinary businessmen or entrepreneurs. If you have the opportunity to meet him, you will definitely feel that he is just an ordinary old man.

They are approachable and unpretentious, and will even listen attentively to you about trivial matters.

I never believed that there were truly perfect people in this society, but he was definitely the one who came closest to being perfect.

The luckiest thing in my life was being able to visit the Economic Research Island. If it weren't for the invitation from my alma mater, I probably wouldn't have been willing to leave the island even once in five or ten years.

Everything on the island was so captivating that I didn't want to leave.

These are some of the stories that Xiamen University's most outstanding students have been telling here over the years.

This has led countless Xiamen University students to hope that they can visit the Economic Research Island in their lifetime.

Consider that legendary figure who established a world-class economic research center to revitalize people's livelihoods, industries, and the economic environment.

And this wait lasted for ten years, until batches of students from Xia University graduated.

They finally got the chance to go to the island to study and visit.

And all of this is happening not only at Xiamen University, but also at countless other prestigious universities at home and abroad.

It can only be said that the achievements of the Economic Research Island over the years are too great.

It's so high that all private companies can't even see the top when they crane their necks; it's so high that anyone who comes out from there will be sought after by reporters and media outlets.

Ten years later, after thoroughly perfecting its development mechanism, and after Zhang Wanyi served as the dean for ten years, the Economic Research Island opened up its access to visitors.

Within a single day, the island received applications from 29 universities to apply to join the island.

Each university can have a maximum of twenty qualifications, of which only eight are professors (including tutors), and the remaining twelve are students.

In other words, out of tens of thousands of students at a university, only twelve students are allowed to visit.

Those who can go up to visit and learn can only be described as super geniuses or top students in the school.

These top students and geniuses from outside will only be ordinary people once they enter the Economic Research Island.

The reason is simple: anyone randomly picked from the island is a genius of paramount importance.

The only person who can command respect from everyone is Chen Pingsheng, the founder of Tengying Group.

He truly earned the trust of everyone and truly lived up to the title of a pioneering business leader.
