Back To 2005

Hello, Mr. Zhou. I've heard of your name, it's like thunder.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Bai Jianyang, who was wearing silver-rimmed glasses and dressed in an elegant style, felt slightly impressed.

When he was the other person's age, he was still reading books in school, but the other person was already the most dazzling rising star in the domestic business world.

It was an honor.

After the simple opening remarks, under the guidance of the intermediary Chen You, the three of them chatted in a good atmosphere.

Brother Zhou, I heard from Lao Chen that you also opened a training institution?

Soon, Bai Jianyang, whom everyone was familiar with, started talking about the training institution run by a young rich man.

Well, when I first entered college, I felt that this field had good prospects, so I opened a top education company.

After listening to the other party chatting, Zhou Anan answered with a smile.

Zhuangyuan Education was originally established to make a fortune to buy TX stocks, but now it has grown and grown, and it is still the smallest industry under his control.

Now he continues to expand the number one education. Zhou Anan is not just doing it to make money, but to leave memories of his past life.

The eight-digit profit every year is not enough for the fund in his hand to rise in the stock market for a few days.

In the past two years, capital has entered the training field of off-campus institutions aggressively. What do you think?

When this question was raised, Bai Jianyang's eyes behind his silver-rimmed glasses stared at the other person, looking forward to the other person's answer.

For off-campus training, there will be a market only if there is demand, but going too far is never enough.

After thinking for a few seconds, Zhou Anan gave a more pertinent answer.

No matter in his past life or this life, his training institution development route is steady and steady. Compared with the quick franchise route favored by some capital, the profit is many times worse.

However, Zhou Anan never entered the education industry to make quick money, but he had no interest in joining a chain.

Making money must be done openly and openly, and entering the education industry just to make money goes against his original intention of entering this industry.

This is like being a handsome guy and pretending to be humble.

It's very insightful. My teacher and I talked about this topic two days ago. It's not obvious yet in second- and third-tier cities, but foreign capital from the four major first-tier cities is accelerating its influx into the off-campus training industry, and there have been several companies with a market value of over 100 million. Chain institutions. Off-campus training is certainly a supplement to school education, but once education is hijacked by capital, that is not a situation we in the Chinese education industry want to see.

Speaking of this issue related to his own profession, Bai Jianyang had a confident look on his face.

Why don't you stop it now?

Unexpectedly, the future education boss would view the training institution this way, and Zhou Anan couldn't help but frown.

He knows very well that the influx of capital into off-campus training institutions will intensify in the next few years, even spawning many chain training institutions with a market value of tens of billions.

Education is held hostage by capital, like a wild horse running wild.

Now that the higher-ups are aware of this, why not restrict it at this early stage.

It's not the time yet. At present, these capitals are still within the controllable range, and the impact on traditional education is not great. Development has its own regularity, and we cannot just stop it from developing as soon as there is a deviation. , we have to look at the problem objectively.

Bai Jianyang did not answer the young rich man's question directly, but raised a philosophical question.

When capital really attacks the traditional education field unscrupulously, the higher authorities will definitely take action.

Chen You on the side saw this and added with a smile: What's more, Xiao An, the direct operation route of your Zhuangyuan Education is different from those training institutions that are chain franchises and only focus on making money.

This is indeed possible.

After being stunned for a moment, Chen You didn't have any unswerving expression on his face. Instead, he thought for a few seconds and gave a very possible answer.

Listening to the discussion of the two education giants, Zhou Anan felt a little inexplicably disappointed.

Before his rebirth in his previous life, he had also seen some news about the overheating of capital entering the education sector, but it had not yet reached the point where the country had taken strong action.

It seems that it is indeed difficult for the education industry to become bigger and stronger.

Once the capital becomes overheated and the higher-ups feel it is out of control, it is likely to be crushed with a thunderous force.

I think there won't be any problems in the short term. If capital wants to threaten the status of traditional education, it will take more than ten years of development. In addition, there is still a lot of potential for private schools.

Seeing the entanglement of this young rich man, Chen You comforted him and then gave him a direction for development.

He knew that the private schools in the other party's hands were the real big deal.

I also want to invest the profits in the next few years into development, which seems a bit too optimistic.

After calming down, Zhou Anan smiled bitterly and talked about his original arrangement.

After all, he thought too simply and did not consider the shortcomings of the expansion of off-campus institutions from an overall perspective.

However, fortunately, the training centers in various cities in Jiang Province are in the initial stage, and the original strategy needs to be adjusted in time.

Old Chen, why are you so naive in your thinking? Under the overthrow of the nest, An has finished his eggs. Is there a big difference between off-campus training institutions and private schools? They are both products of the wanton expansion of capital. Once the rectification begins, there will be no difference. It’s just a gentler approach.”

Regarding this kind of debate involving principles, Bai Jianyang was not polite to his old classmates at all.

According to your point, if the capital exceeds the limit, it may face a one-size-fits-all approach. What about those small off-campus institutions and what about the market demand? It will return to the guerrilla attack a few years ago. Isn't that more difficult to manage?

On this point, Chen You obviously disagreed with his old classmate's point of view.

While drinking tea, Bai Jianyang spoke his thoughts calmly.

At their level, discussing the development direction of education in the next few years is not just talk on paper.

We in China have a population of 1.3 billion and hundreds of millions of primary and secondary school students. The high school entrance examination and college entrance examination systems are still there, so it is impossible to completely eliminate the phenomenon of extracurricular tutoring. Looking at the educational development trend of the neighboring Southern Dynasties in the past few years, if it is forcibly suppressed, it will only make the same mistakes again.

The nature of the development of things is not static. If our generation does not explore it, will it be left to the next generation and the next generation?

It's okay to explore, but it won't kill you with a stick.

Then it depends on whether we can guide capital to invest in the education market correctly. Once we can't control it, we can only take strong medicine.
