Chapter 230 doesn't deserve the word "high-end".
"But given the huge population base of Dongda University, even though the country is now reforming and opening up, and we only produce some low-end products and develop labor-intensive industries, the other party won't do anything."
"But their nature dictates that once they feel we pose a threat or become their competitors, they will suppress us relentlessly. Zhang Dong's statement struck me as very strange..."
As he said this, Wang Daihua looked at Zhang Dong with a puzzled expression.
"Mr. Zhang, how old are you? In your early twenties, right? How do you possess such a forward-thinking vision and foresight, able to anticipate problems in advance? It truly amazes me..."
Hearing Wang Daihua's shocking words, those entrepreneurs who had previously questioned Zhang Dong started discussing it again.
They then understood why Wang Daihua supported Zhang Dong; it turned out that he felt, based on his own experience, that Dongda University would also go through a similar period of development.
After all, societal development is phased, and no one can skip any of the stages.
But Wang Daihua's words just now completely shocked them.
Unexpectedly, the viewpoint put forward by this young Zhang Dong was so highly praised by this outstanding overseas Chinese, who even believed that Zhang Dong's thinking was ahead of its time.
That proves that their previous doubts were all wrong, short-sighted, and based on a failure to see things from the other person's perspective, which greatly shocked them.
If they didn't know Wang Daihua's identity and his significant influence in overseas Chinese business circles, they wouldn't have been convinced at all.
At this moment, someone asked Wang Daihua again.
"Mr. Wang, as a pioneer of overseas Chinese entrepreneurship, do you really value Zhang Dong that much?"
Upon hearing someone's question, Wang Daihua turned his gaze to the other person.
At this moment, the expression on his face became even more solemn.
"That's right. We are all elite entrepreneurs, and we must have had overseas study and inspection experience. You might as well think about how they developed. In the early stages, weren't they exactly the same as us, following a low-end development model?"
"However, when competition reaches a certain stage, a qualitative change will occur. This qualitative change refers to industrial upgrading and technological advancement, meaning that in high-tech fields, we have a strong competitive advantage, and now others are far ahead."
"Now, with the development of reform and opening up in China, we will also follow this model and go through such a process."
"Think about it, is this really the case?"
These skeptics were initially stunned after hearing Wang Daihua's words, but after regaining their senses, they couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Mr. Wang, you're right, I feel that's indeed the case."
A middle-aged man nodded repeatedly: "In the past few years, when I've collaborated with foreign companies, they've only offered low-end projects. Collaboration on high-end technologies is out of the question, and their attitude is extremely arrogant..."
This middle-aged man's statement immediately evoked deep emotions among the attendees.
"Yes, I also have a joint venture with a foreign company and opened a processing company in China. Indeed, the projects we cooperate with are all labor-intensive and low-end factories."
"We wanted to collaborate with them on a higher level of technology, but they completely ignored us."
"It wasn't just their arrogant attitude; the way they treated us like thieves really made me angry..."
The speaker was a tall man, about 50 years old. He stood up, adjusted his glasses, and continued speaking with great excitement.
"Logically speaking, I have had similar experiences. After what this young Mr. Zhang just said, I should have empathized with him and supported his ideas. But I actually mocked him for being concerned about the country and its people and for trying to attract attention. That was really wrong of me."
"Yep……"
Seeing that Wang Daihua, an overseas Chinese, stood up to express his support, making these elite entrepreneurs who had just mocked him realize their mistakes, Zhang Dong couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
He never expected that Wang Daihua's intervention would lead to such a dramatic change in the situation.
Then Wang Daihua continued speaking passionately.
“Right now, our Dongda University has just started reform and opening up and has not been developing for long. At this time, our industries are very low-end. So some low-end industries that the West was unwilling to do were given to us, allowing us to earn only some manual labor money.”
"But when it comes to high-tech industries, they are extremely vigilant against us."
"In this situation, as entrepreneurs and social elites, we should cultivate our own exclusive talents to the best of our ability."
“What Mr. Zhang said is exactly what I was thinking, which is why I wholeheartedly agree.”
"Only when we improve our overall quality and cultivate our own unique talent, so that we no longer rely on them for the research and development of any high-end project, and even surpass them, will they change their perception of us and show us more respect..."
Wang Daihua's words, given his unique experiences, had a powerful impact and instantly resonated with everyone.
"Yes, yes. Through my interactions with several foreign businessmen, I've seen that they are indeed incredibly arrogant, and this arrogance is ingrained in their very being. They don't take us Dongda people seriously at all."
"Hmph, damn it, it's all because our country's development lagged behind before, which made others look down on us."
"Some foreigners think we are inferior people and don't deserve the word 'high-end'..."
The speaker, a large, fat man, was agitated, his face flushed, and in his haste, he even swore, clearly indicating that he too had experienced being insulted and looked down upon by foreigners.
That's what made him so excited...
"Please be quiet, everyone. I haven't finished speaking yet."
As soon as Wang Daihua said that, everyone's attention immediately focused on him.
They had just spoken out of genuine feeling, and from Wang Daihua's words, they sensed the humiliation they had suffered, which is why they interrupted him.
Some asked questions on the spot, while others expressed their anger and frustration.
When Wang Daihua told them to be quiet, they blushed deeply, realizing that they had interrupted him while he was passionately supporting Zhang Dong…
"Our society is developing rapidly, and of course, we will encounter various problems in the process of development."
"But no matter what the problem is, every conscientious entrepreneur should not give up the effort to improve the country's technology, after all, this is the environment we will be in for a long time to come."
"As we become increasingly wealthy, we should improve our overall level of science and technology and our scientific research and development capabilities."
"Otherwise, while others eat meat, we don't even have the right to drink soup."
