The wealthy entrepreneur: I want to support millions of employees!.

Chapter 960 Interested in a combined Master's and PhD program? Two professors vying for it!

"Homemade..." Professor Zhang suddenly realized, "This wine is produced by your company?"

"Correct!"

"You don't know this, do you?" Zhai Yuan laughed from the side, "Chizhu Winery is now run by President Su and Longjiu Group. Cloud Dream is Chizhu Winery's flagship product!"

"I see!" Professor Zhang exclaimed in realization. "Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

"You are welcome!"

After ordering a bottle of Cloud Dream to be brought over, Su Yang looked at Xiong Ting and Xiao Shuhan and asked, "Would you like something to drink? How about two bottles of soy milk?"

"it is good!"

"can!"

The two girls smiled and nodded.

After the waiter finished decanting the wine and poured it, everyone clinked glasses.

The two professors also praised the Dream in the Clouds!

Professor Zhai then steered the conversation toward the operations of Chizhu Winery, and the discussion unfolded from there.

Professor Zhai was clearly interested in the wine industry around Derong County, but Su Yang wasn't afraid of this topic. Although he wasn't personally involved, he wasn't entirely a hands-off manager.

He has indeed visited that area less frequently in recent years, but he still pays close attention to publicity and marketing.

Because I frequently read Chizhu Winery's work reports, I have a good understanding of the entire wine production and brewing process, the establishment of sales channels, brand marketing, the local wine industry, and the domestic and international wine market!

Su Yang was able to answer almost any of the questions that Professor Zhai was interested in with ease.

Professor Zhai would occasionally offer a few pointers, which Su Yang also benefited from.

Professor Zhang Zhengxuan would chime in a few words, but he was clearly not as professional as Professor Zhai.

But the idea behind it is quite unique!
Xiao Shuhan listened quietly, but her chopsticks barely stopped moving.

She knew very well that if she missed tonight, she might not be able to eat such delicious food again!

She couldn't afford a cabbage that cost two thousand yuan a serving, so she could only get free food and drinks by following her mentor!

Xiong Ting was also eating seriously, just like Xiao Shuhan, but she would often look up at Su Yang, who was calm and confident and could talk fluently with two top domestic experts and professors.

Her eyes were filled with excitement and pride. Her older brother was so strong!
And what about memory? How did they manage to memorize all that industry data?

It can be accurate to two decimal places, is it made up?
But it doesn't look like it!
Recalling her mischievous cousin who used to scare her with toads, she really felt that Su Yang had changed a lot!

Could it really be as her mother said, that she's grown up? Has she finally seen the light?

After discussing Chizhu Winery, Professor Zhai shifted the topic to Jiuxiang Catering, expressing great interest in the recently emerging Jiuxiang Hot Pot chain, which has garnered significant online attention.

Su Yang has an even clearer understanding of the catering industry!

Zhai Yuan was surprised to learn that Jiu Xiang Hotpot had confirmed more than 40 stores last month, which was the result of Su Yang's deliberate control.

He couldn't help but say, "If you open branches like this, they'll almost all be directly operated stores, and the management costs will be extremely high!"

"But I want to do my best!"

"Yes!" Zhai Yuan nodded. "You have indeed done a good job!"

What else could he say?
The fact is that Su Yang's Jiu Xiang Catering has been developing rapidly using this direct-operation store model!
At this point, Zhang Zhengxuan changed the subject, saying, "I heard that your Yuanshi Private Equity's assets under management have exceeded 100 million?"

"Yes, I just broke through recently!"

How are things going with Jintai Fund lately?

"The scale has exceeded 6 billion, which is about two or three times the 23 billion when it was acquired at the beginning of the year!" "I heard that the mutual fund managed by your Manager Pei may get the highest return this year?"

"We should have a very good chance; we're now 30 points ahead of second place!"

"If the funds she manages were to open up, your company's capital size would increase dramatically!" Professor Zhang Zhengxuan exclaimed in surprise. "That's quite impressive!"

The two then started talking about the stock market, and Su Yang's knowledge of the stock market remained extensive.

This is thanks to the many domestic and international financial books he read when he first started working in private equity.

However, his greatest strength lies in the trends of domestic and international financial markets over the past year!

Knowing the outcome allows for reverse reasoning, supporting various macroeconomic and microeconomic factors, domestic policy guidance, and the governing principles of the new US leadership...

Coupled with Su Yang's confident aura, extraordinary charm, and professional-level presentation, not only did Professor Zhang nod repeatedly, but even Xiong Ting, who wasn't particularly interested in finance and economics, was captivated!

After Su Yang finished speaking, Zhang Zhengxuan finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Su, I heard you graduated with a bachelor's degree?"

"Yes! What's wrong?"

"Are you interested in pursuing further studies with me?"

"Graduate school?"

"I'm open to both master's and doctoral studies, and I can even supervise doctoral students!"

Su Yang was somewhat tempted; in recent years he had recruited many outstanding talents from universities.

As the company grew and began to focus on R&D investment, it also ventured into the field of pharmaceutical R&D. He felt that his academic qualifications were no longer presentable.

"However, I'm quite busy with work, and I don't have much free time!"

Zhang Zhengxuan immediately perked up: "You could consider pursuing a part-time professional master's degree, which would give you more flexibility in your schedule!"

He's becoming more and more optimistic about Su Yang; he's definitely a once-in-a-decade young talent!

But just then, Zhai Yuan interjected, "If you ask me, President Su would be better off studying here than going to your place for further education!"

Zhai Yuan never expected that Zhang Zhengxuan would have the audacity to accept Su Yang as a student!
He felt embarrassed to let Su Yang come to his place to pursue his master's and doctoral degrees.

The abilities this person has demonstrated are already top-notch in the industry, okay?

Is pursuing a master's or doctoral degree a complete waste of time?

But since Zhang Zhengxuan brought it up, Su Yang seemed somewhat interested... so he wanted to snatch him away!
Su Yang is already a successful businessman with a net worth of billions. Hiring him would be pure profit!

Zhang Zhengxuan said unhappily, "Old Zhai, what do you mean?"

"What do I mean? I mean, President Su is of no use to you!"

After drinking about half a bottle of red wine, Zhai Yuan became more direct in his speech.

"Learning from me is useless?" Zhang Zhengxuan sat up straight, somewhat angrily, and said, "Old Zhai, you have to take responsibility for what you said. I am an authoritative expert in the financial field, and my academic level is among the best in the country. President Su is also in finance. How could learning from me be useless?"

"Of course I'll stand by my word!" Zhai Yuan leaned back in his chair and said with a sneer, "Don't I know what level you're at? You're a guy who loses money in the stock market, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a leading expert in the domestic financial field? What can you teach President Su? How can you teach President Su how to lose money in the stock market? If President Su wants to learn finance, wouldn't it be better to learn from that Manager Pei? I think that Manager Pei is much better than you!"

Su Yang touched his nose, feeling both helpless and amused.

Should Pei Jiaqi teach him?

Isn't this a joke?
However, next time he goes to Shenzhen, he might consider bringing Pei Jiaqi a teacher's outfit, or... perhaps a pointer as well?

“Uh…” Zhang Zhengxuan’s face turned a little pale after being exposed by Zhai Yuan in public. He couldn’t help but slam his fist on the table and said, “Can every student you teach be successful in business? You are a business school expert, but I haven’t seen you run any big companies!”
