Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

After graduating from the junior graduating class, students can go to their electronics companies as entry-level employees, responsible for practical operations.

The best graduates from the intermediate program can work as research staff in their company's research department, which is the prototype of blue-collar and white-collar workers.

That day, Zhang Dong publicly shared his ideas at a local entrepreneurs' annual meeting.

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's vision, the attendees, including leaders from higher-level departments, other participants, and entrepreneurs, were all in an uproar.

"What? This guy named Zhang Dong wants to start his own school and even make his graduates receive government-approved diplomas."

"Holy crap, is this for real? This sounds like a pipe dream. Does he really think it's still the old days and he can start a private school on his own?"

"Haha, maybe they're from another time, who knows?"

There was also an old man who shook his head with a disdainful expression: "Sigh, he's gone mad, completely mad. What level of disability does he have that makes him have such naive ideas, actually wanting to run a school on his own?"

Zhang Dong never expected that simply sharing his ideas would be met with ridicule from the attendees.

At this moment, he was also shocked by the perceptions of these people. This was still an annual meeting for entrepreneurs. Did they not care about national policies?

Since 1978, the country has been reforming and opening up, and the government has successively introduced policies to liberalize private education. Don't these local entrepreneurs understand this?

Or did they simply not have any prior knowledge of this?

While I was still stunned, I heard the attendees start mocking me loudly again.

"Haha, I get it. This kid is doing this to attract attention and gain fame."

"That's right, that's how mine owners are these days. They think they can do anything just because they have a little money. Why don't you fly?"

"Haha, Mr. Wang, don't be angry. This kind of person is just a boorish old man. His opinion is determined by his own position. It's not worth getting angry with him."

"That's right, to put it bluntly, if you gave him a pair of wings, he'd be a flying dung beetle..."

Seeing everyone's attitude, Zhang Dong shook his head speechlessly.

It must be said that those attending today's meeting are all elites from the local business community. Those who can attend a meeting of this level can truly be described as local elites.

The fact that they were so ignorant shows that these participants lacked foresight regarding the overall social situation, had no understanding of private education, and lacked any forward-thinking awareness or perspective.

Zhang Dong originally intended to share his ideas with his colleagues at this conference, hoping they would enthusiastically support them.

The current situation is so perplexing that Zhang Dong shook his head speechlessly.

He thought to himself that he had really overestimated these people. Although they were all well-known local entrepreneurs, they were short-sighted and could not see the general trend of social development.

With the popularization of the Internet and the increasing number of college students, establishing computer colleges has become a trend.

The government will provide strong support and assistance, since it's not practical to run a school by relying solely on the government.

That's how it was in my previous life. The government proposed that the whole society should run schools, and then give them certain qualifications through assessment. This was equivalent to relieving the country's worries.

But none of the people present had that kind of vision.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Dong gave a helpless bitter smile.

"My original purpose in attending this meeting was to get everyone's support, but I didn't expect that you all have such a negative view..."

"Haha, of course I don't think it's a good idea. Zhang Dong, you think too highly of yourself. Who do you think you are, wanting to start a school? Even if you really want to be famous, there's no need to resort to such sensationalism."

“Yes, yes, no matter what, we are all entrepreneurs, and we should all be down-to-earth. How can you be so impractical?” An elder, speaking as a senior, sternly reprimanded Zhang Dong.

Zhang Dong waved his hand: "Since that's your attitude, there's no point in saying more, so I won't say anything more."

"What, you have something else to say?"

Zhang Dong's words aroused their curiosity.

"Then why don't you tell me what else you'd like to say next?"

Seeing everyone's repeated urging, Zhang Dong finally continued speaking.

"My original purpose for this entrepreneurs' networking event was to share my ideas and seek strategic support from partners."

"But look at the current situation. Even if someone invests in me or doesn't say anything sarcastic, it's like I've suffered a huge loss."

As soon as Zhang Dong finished speaking, someone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Haha, that's right, Zhang Dong. I feel that your original intention in starting the school was to become a so-called principal and a celebrity."

"There's absolutely no need for that. The economy is just starting to develop. Although we are entrepreneurs, our goal is to make money."

"But you actually want to start a school? Do you really want people to call you principal?"

Hearing the crowd's mockery, Zhang Dong shook his head speechlessly before revealing his original intention.

"I run schools because as a member of a developing country, we will always encounter various problems in the process of development. Running schools is also to prevent foreigners from strangling us in advance."

"You're right that we need to work hard to make money right now."

"But I feel that entrepreneurs like us, with certain capabilities, must consider future development while making money, and do our best to develop technology."

"This development is the result of everyone's concerted efforts and joint efforts. This was my original intention in establishing the school, not what you call sensationalism..."

"And it's not that I'm addicted to being a school principal."

"What, foreigners are trying to strangle us? Are they just bored out of their minds? Why would they want to strangle us?"

"Yes, yes, don't make unfounded assumptions about international friends, or you'll end up with no friends."

"What, you don't have any friends?"

Zhang Dong smiled faintly: "You may treat someone as a friend, but they may not necessarily regard you as someone special. Only when you are strong enough can you earn the respect of others and make them look at you with new eyes..."

Next, Zhang Dong recounted his experience attending the international science and technology symposium.

"At that time, our company developed a computer operating system, but it was ridiculed by our foreign counterparts. They ruthlessly mocked us Chinese as stupid as pigs, saying that we couldn't possibly develop such a high-end thing."

"Judging from the experience of that conference, most researchers from other countries were not friendly to us. It made me see their ugly faces clearly. Only by working together and taking precautions can we avoid the pain and fate of being held hostage by others."
