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

"Haha, didn't you hear? They said you should be an entrepreneur with a mission, not someone who makes quick and easy money. Their vision is very long-term..."

"Wow, they say a man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. He actually wants to start a school on his own. This kid really makes me look at him in a new light."

Zhang Dong hadn't expected that after a brief silence, the entrepreneurs in attendance would erupt completely, much like the local entrepreneurs' annual meeting he had attended before.

The entrepreneurs present almost all scoffed at what Zhang Dong said and began to ridicule him.

Zhang Dong, who witnessed this scene, was speechless.

Originally, this was supposed to be a high-end annual forum for entrepreneurs. He thought he would find kindred spirits there, but it turned out to be the same situation.

At this moment, an elderly man in his sixties suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.

"Mr. Zhang Dong, you're right, I agree with your point of view..."

Zhang Dong, who had just finished speaking, was also surprised. He had been extremely disappointed and never expected that anyone would agree with his point of view.

The other attendees also looked surprised.

"There are actually people who agree with what this kid said? Haha, let's see who this person is?"

Upon seeing this, some people recognized the person and were quite surprised.

"This, isn't this President Wang Daihua?"

"What? He is Wang Daihua? I've heard of his great name."

"Who is Wang Daihua? Is he famous?"

Some entrepreneurs who knew him began to popularize his knowledge.

"Of course he's very famous. He's a household name in overseas Chinese communities, but he's always been low-key and doesn't like to show off, so not many people in China know him..."

Zhang Dong, who had just finished speaking, heard the murmurs from the audience and looked at the man in his sixties. Hearing the murmurs, Zhang Dong realized that the man was actually an overseas Chinese.

At this moment, Wang Daihua, who had stood up, looked excited.

“I think Mr. Zhang Dong is right, and I support his idea.”

"What, you support him?"

The attendees were quite surprised to learn that Wang Daihua was an overseas Chinese and that he had a wide influence in overseas business circles.

"What? Mr. Wang, are you making fun of Zhang Dong? I thought you were teasing him on purpose just now."

The person who said this was a tall man.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses nearby chimed in, "That's right, I also thought Wang Daihua was just teasing Zhang Dong, but I didn't expect him to be serious. How could that be?"

"It should be noted that Wang Daihua has a wide influence and appeal in the overseas Chinese business community."

The elite entrepreneurs who had just mocked Zhang Dong were all surprised at this moment, mainly because none of them expected that what Zhang Dong said would receive a response and support from this very influential overseas Chinese.

Just now they were mocking Zhang Dong, thinking he was just trying to gain fame and reputation.

In their minds, what does technological development have to do with them?

Running a business is all about making money, why bother with all that trivial stuff?

The reason they collectively mocked Zhang Dong just now is because that's their mindset.

These people, to put it bluntly, are what later generations would call sophisticated egoists. They do whatever the market lacks, and they flock to invest in whatever is profitable.

Because their businesses are profitable, they are seen as successful entrepreneurs and elites by many.

But what Zhang Dong just said seemed utterly ridiculous to them.

He's just an entrepreneur, yet he's so concerned about the country and its people, talking about improving technology. He'd be better off making more money.

This is also why they mocked Zhang Dong.

At such a young age, instead of making money honestly, he spouts such nonsense, deliberately trying to elevate himself, and even talking about founding a computer school.

You think you can just start a school?

But now, what's going on with this influential overseas Chinese? Why is he also supporting Zhang Dong, and even standing up with an excited expression?

This made those who had just mocked Zhang Dong even more confused.

Knowing that Wang Daihua had something to say, the entrepreneurs who had just mocked Zhang Dong all shut their mouths.

They were all eager to hear what shocking opinions the other party might have.

Therefore, at this moment, everyone's eyes were on Wang Daihua.

Wang Daihua remained excited, looking at Zhang Dong on the stage with admiration in his eyes.

“Mr. Zhang, I completely agree with what you just said. I am a student of Southeast University, and it was by chance that I succeeded in starting a business abroad and gained some fame.”

"I think your suggestion is absolutely correct. To put it bluntly, what you just mentioned proves that your thinking is at least 10 years ahead of its time."

Upon hearing Wang Daihua give Zhang Dong such high praise, everyone's lips twitched, and the next second, they began to look at each other in bewilderment.

Entrepreneurs who reach this level are all elites; otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to attend meetings of this caliber.

They were all taken aback by Wang Daihua's words.

The other party's statement has completely overturned their views.

It's obvious that they were all mocking Zhang Dong, saying he was ambitious but not down-to-earth.

Wang Daihua's words are tantamount to denying their views and openly standing on the opposite side.

"Mr. Wang, what do you mean by that? Are you saying we were wrong? Why are you openly supporting Zhang Dong?"

Some entrepreneurs who knew Wang Daihua were already asking him questions with puzzled expressions.

"Haha, good question." Wang Daihua laughed loudly. "I knew you guys had this idea. You were all mocking Mr. Zhang just now, and even I couldn't stand it."

"I feel that what Mr. Zhang Dong said is absolutely correct."

“I’m over 60 years old. I went abroad when I was in my 20s to start my own business.”

"The reason I supported him just now was because I felt that his words hit the pulse of the times."

"In fact, many people in the world view the students of Tokyo University with prejudice, believing that they are inferior people."

"My entrepreneurial experience taught me this: people look down on us."

"But I just don't believe in this nonsense. Our Dongda has thousands of years of cultural heritage. We are an ancient civilization. We are not stupid or foolish, nor are we inferior people."

"Why do they view us with prejudice? It's a long-standing tradition of theirs, and this mindset is deeply ingrained, ingrained in their blood and marrow."

"It was because of their thinking that I encountered many difficulties at the beginning of my business."

"Furthermore, as I just mentioned, Zhang Dong's proposal is in line with the pulse of the times because I have experienced their development stages and know how they developed."

"Right now, the entire Dongda University is in the early stages of its development."
