The Super Rich: Start from when the family business is about to go bankrupt!

Chapter 667 Monster considers himself a smart man! Different people have different answers! A counterattack?
In response to An Wuyang's question, Yilu Xiangbei countered, "Does President An still value academic qualifications?"

Before An Wuyang could answer, Yilu Xiangbei continued, "If I remember correctly, Mr. An himself should be from an ordinary private second-tier university, right?"

Yes!

An Wuyang is from East Soford College, an ordinary private second-tier university.

Upon hearing the question-and-answer response from the user "All the Way North," An Wuyang smiled. He had already formed a preliminary user profile of this user's personality.

“My information is publicly available on the internet, and I do indeed attend East Soford College, a private second-tier university,” An Wuyang answered affirmatively.

“When the college entrance exam ended, I had three choices,” An Wuyang explained.

“First, go abroad and choose a good university to enhance your resume,” An Wuyang listed his initial options.

"Secondly, getting into a special school through special channels—those who know, know." An Wuyang didn't elaborate.

"The last option was one I could choose randomly, and I did choose that option. But I want you to understand one thing: I could choose this option because my family supports me in making this choice," An Wuyang reminded them.

"In fact, given our family's situation, is there any fundamental difference between choosing to study abroad, choosing a better prestigious university, or choosing a private second-tier university?" An Wuyang asked rhetorically.

"All the way north" offered a different answer: "President An, I have a different opinion. If you go to a better school, you can gain better connections."

"For example, you can meet classmates at a higher level and those who are better at studying. This would be a better option for Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group, both for future development and for building up talent in advance," added a netizen named Yiluxiangbei.

An Wuyang couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahahaha!"

One netizen, heading north, hesitated, asking, "Did I say something wrong?"

"The way you're talking makes it sound like you're the heir to the Five Watches!" An Wuyang teased with a smile.

“You were just trying to talk about cognitive issues, and now your statements are biased at the cognitive level,” An Wuyang explained.

"What are your so-called connections? What are your so-called talent pool?" An Wuyang retorted.

“Uh,” Yilu Xiangbei hesitated for a moment before continuing, “For example, if President An were to enter Beijing University or Tsinghua University, then President An could get to know some high-level classmates.”

"Then what exactly does 'high-level classmate' mean?" An Wuyang pressed for an answer.

“For example, some students have parents who are high-ranking officials in the government or senior executives in companies. These students could be An Zong’s helpers.” This is an example from “All the Way North”.

An Wuyang scoffed, "This is a bias caused by cognitive limitations!"

"The example you gave might seem plausible at first glance, but it's actually just a hoax," An Wuyang joked.

"Do you know how far your theories are from being applied in reality?" An Wuyang asked rhetorically.

Silence reigned all the way north.

An Wuyang didn't wait for a reply and continued, "First, let's assume there are such students, that's the first assumption."

“Secondly, we also need to assume that you have a very good relationship with such a classmate, so that the other party might use their family resources to help an outsider like you. This is the second layer of assumptions,” An Wuyang added.

"Then, the place where the other party's parents work must also happen to be the place you need. Take Wugengtian as an example, the other party's parents need to work in Shengqing in order to be able to help Wugengtian," An Wuyang added.

“We can’t possibly be in Shengqing at dawn, while their parents work in Linji Province. How can they possibly help us at dawn?” An Wuyang retorted.

"Next, we also need the other party's parents to have jurisdiction over a range of functions that happens to meet our needs. We are a company in the pharmaceutical field, but the other party's parents are in the education system. How can we provide effective assistance in this situation?" An Wuyang asked again.

"Finally, and most importantly, how much help did the other party provide?" An Wuyang's question was quite insightful.

This question seems simple, but it actually involves a deeper issue, which involves the details of the exchange of benefits, but An Wuyang just didn't say it.

“Just the problems I’ve listed out are five layers deep that need to be addressed one by one. Do you really think this kind of interpersonal relationship is useful?” An Wuyang asked.

Silence fell once more as we headed north.

"As for your talk of talent reserves, that's utter nonsense. In this day and age, when people want talent, they don't look at interpersonal relationships or friendships, but at tangible benefits," An Wuyang explained.

"If you were a highly skilled professional, would you be willing to dedicate yourself selflessly to your classmate's family business?" An Wuyang asked.

Heading north, all remained silent.

"Now let's go back to the beginning. What is your educational background, and which school did you graduate from?" An Wuyang brought the question back to the main point.

The netizen "一路向北" then replied, "I'm a student at a regular junior college, but I don't think academic qualifications are important, in my opinion."

An Wuyang interrupted the other party directly.

“You think academic qualifications are unimportant? You’re twenty-nine years old this year, and you’ve been out of school for many years. So do you still think academic qualifications are unimportant?” An Wuyang asked.

Before the other party could answer, An Wuyang continued, "Whether academic qualifications are important depends on who says them, just as whether a joke is funny depends on who tells it and where it is told."

“For example, if I tell a joke in the early morning, even if it’s not funny, everyone will still laugh out loud, which means that the joke I told was very funny,” An Wuyang gave an example.

“When I was choosing a private second-tier university, I said the same thing: academic qualifications are not important!” An Wuyang explained.

“But I think I’m qualified to say this. Do you think you’re qualified to say this?” An Wuyang asked again.

"But many business tycoons don't have high levels of education," he replied through gritted teeth.

"Have you heard of survivor bias? I believe many people have heard of this popular internet term, right?" An Wuyang asked, glancing at the number of viewers in the live stream.

Unbeknownst to many, Xiao Qingyue's live stream had already attracted over three thousand viewers.

"Qingyue, send out a lottery gift pack first. The gift is five Jishi codes and fifty bottles of Shuxin pills," An Wuyang instructed.

Xiao Qingyue nodded obediently, "Okay." As An Wuyang announced the giveaway of prize packages, the live chat exploded with a flood of thank-you messages.

An Wuyang glanced at the comments and then asked the user "All the Way North," "Brother, have you looked up the information on survivor bias?"

“What I want to tell you is that the low-educated business tycoons you see are only visible to you because they have become business tycoons. How can you see those unknown people who have been buried in the past?” An Wuyang asked.

“For ordinary people, studying is still the only way out, for example, in remote towns and even impoverished mountain villages. What other way out is there besides studying?” An Wuyang asked again.

“I joked that studying is useless because I had bad grades, I was a poor student, and my family was well-off. You’re just joining in on this, who do you think you are?” An Wuyang said with a sigh.

His remarks had been misinterpreted before, but he couldn't be bothered to investigate.

Unwilling to give up, Yi Xiangbei asked, "President An, although my academic qualifications are not good, I consider myself a smart person, and after entering the workforce, I have been actively learning and improving my cognitive level."

"I believe my current understanding surpasses that of many people. It's just that the social classes in this era are too rigid, leaving me with too few opportunities, which is why I'm stuck at a lower level. I just need an opportunity," explained Yilu Xiangbei.

An Wuyang scoffed at this statement once again.

“I think many viewers probably share this sentiment as well,” An Wuyang asked casually.

As An Wuyang inquired, many more comments expressed their affirmation.

"What kind of person do you think can be considered intelligent?" An Wuyang asked.

“Let me give you an example. If there’s a noodle shop near your house and you go there to eat noodles, and you find that the noodles there are particularly bad, would you say so on the spot, or would you silently decide never to come back?” An Wuyang asked a new question.

"I won't answer this question, because people are different, and everyone's answers may differ. My answer is not the standard answer either," An Wuyang added.

"But I believe that after hearing what I'm about to say, everyone will know what my answer is and be able to judge whether their own answer is appropriate." An Wuyang did not intend to give a direct answer.

As he said, his answer was just his own answer, and not the standard answer.

People are different, and the complexity of the human heart determines the complexity of the answer.

"Brother Yilu Xiangbei, you just said that you are a smart person and your understanding surpasses that of many people. When faced with this question, what choice would you make?" An Wuyang asked the netizen Yilu Xiangbei.

In response to the question about heading north, the answer was, "I will choose to remain silent."

"What's the reason?" An Wuyang asked.

"The reason is simple: the other party is just an ordinary noodle shop, and I didn't spend much money. Why should I risk a direct conflict?" Yilu Xiangbei explained.

"In my understanding, when facing this kind of problem, we should consider the risks. A bowl of noodles isn't expensive, but if it leads to a direct conflict, or even escalates into a physical altercation, it's definitely not worth it!" added Yilu Xiangbei.

"So I think the best solution is to keep quiet and never go back a second time. That's the best solution." After answering, Yilu Xiangbei even seemed a little smug.

Because he felt that his answer was excellent and perfectly aligned with high cognitive logic.

"President An, what do you think of my choice?" Yi Lu Xiangbei asked An Wuyang, seemingly wanting praise from him.

In fact, the answer from the netizen "一路向北" (All the Way North) has won the support of a considerable number of viewers, and some viewers even appreciate the answer from "一路向北".

Unfortunately, this was not An Wuyang's answer.

"Have you taken any higher cognitive courses?" An Wuyang didn't answer the other person's question, but instead asked a new one.

When asked by An Wuyang, Yilu Xiangbei paused for a moment.

The main problem was that this guy's answer was too standardized. An Wuyang saw through the key point at a glance. After all, An Wuyang had also studied similar things, but An Wuyang's purpose in studying was to think independently.

"Just a friendly reminder, those courses that claim to improve your cognition are most likely just trying to make money off you, not actually teaching you to improve your cognition," An Wuyang quipped.

A little unconvinced, Yi Lu Xiang Bei retorted directly, "President An, then tell me your answer?"

In the eyes of netizens heading north, his answer should be perfect, right?
If An Wuyang doesn't choose his answer, does that mean he should just confront him head-on?

How could someone like An Wuyang do such a thing?

It was precisely because he had taken this into account that Yilu Xiangbei was filled with a defiant attitude. He did not believe that An Wuyang was going to confront him head-on; he felt that An Wuyang was just refuting for the sake of refuting.

So, heading north, they wanted to know what choice An Wuyang would make.

If An Wuyang really chooses to confront the enemy head-on, then we must get to the bottom of the underlying logic behind his decision.

If An Wuyang can't give a logical answer, then Yilu Xiangbei should release a clip from today's live stream to generate buzz, thereby marketing himself and increasing his visibility.

He even thought that he might be able to use this incident to become an internet celebrity.
Before An Wuyang could answer, Yilu Xiangbei further used reverse psychology, "I remember President An just said that you wouldn't give your answer because your answer is just your answer and may not apply to others, right?"

An Wuyang naturally understood the teasing from the netizens on the way north, and knew that it was a provocation.

“You remember correctly!” An Wuyang affirmed first.

“But given the current situation, and the fact that you don’t agree with what I’m saying, I can also give my own answer,” An Wuyang responded.

I paused for a moment as I headed north.

"So what is President An's answer?" Yi Lu Xiang Bei pressed directly.

An Wuyang retorted, "You still haven't answered me: have you studied some kind of so-called high-cognitive teaching method?"

Faced with An Wuyang's question, Yi Lu Xiangbei felt a surge of excitement, because he believed that An Wuyang's question was a form of evasion, and that An Wuyang did not want to answer his question.

He even wondered if An Wuyang had realized that his answer was the best answer.

Thinking about this situation, Yilu Xiangbei became even more excited. He might win this online debate!
