Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1415: Chapter 1416: You Need a Plan to Get Things Done

Qi Fengping watched curiously as Ming Xiaofan walked away, stood up and walked over to Cheng Su: ”Sis-in-law, who is that?”

”Nothing much, just a senior from third year, wanting to start a communications company, asking if I am interested in investing.” Cheng Su said casually.

Qi Fengping responded with an ”Oh” and after a moment asked, ”Are you going to invest?”

”It depends on his business proposal, whether it has development potential or a possibility of making money. If not, why would I invest? My money doesn’t just come out of thin air; if I’m going to spend it, of course, it should be spent wisely.” Cheng Su said.

Qi Fengping said nothing, just felt that all this sounded quite complex.

”You didn’t understand?” Cheng Su asked.

Qi Fengping nodded.

Cheng Su then pulled her to sit on a bench by the school lake: ”Being pregnant feels different, just standing for a while and my back starts aching.” She then took a thermos out of her bag, drank a sip, feeling warm all over, then spoke: ”Everything you do needs a plan; when you want to do something, you definitely have a draft plan in mind, right?”

”You have a draft plan, you know how things should be done, how to proceed, and among them, what you will need and how to obtain what you need; doesn’t all this require calculation?” Cheng Su said slowly, ”Having a draft plan isn’t enough. For example, in business, if your funds are insufficient, you want others to inject capital into your company to get it running, then you also need to think about how to persuade them to invest. It’s not like you can just say, ’Hey, my company will make a lot of money, if you invest, you’ll definitely get rich,’ and they’ll invest. No investor in this world is that naive.”

Qi Fengping chuckled, a bit embarrassed, and looked at the lake.

”Therefore, if you want others to give you money, you have to show them the future and prospect of your company, you must have a detailed business plan and market demand report, etc. Only by garnishing your ideas can you convince them to invest.” Cheng Su took out a few walnut halves and chewed them slowly, saying: ”Doing business requires skill. If you can make them feel it’s what they need, rather than what you need, seeing things from their perspective, then you’re halfway to success.”

Qi Fengping listened, understanding partially.

”Do things with a plan, even now, do you have a complete plan?” Cheng Su looked at her.

Qi Fengping was taken aback.

”You are repeating a year. From now till exams, do you have a study plan? What needs to be completed today, and what tomorrow? If you can’t complete them, then what? Have you planned? By having a study plan, you won’t feel confused or think that you’re busy all day with no results. Following the plan often yields twice the results with half the effort.” Cheng Su encouraged.

”I’ve never thought of it that way.” Qi Fengping lowered her head, feeling a bit uneasy.

”Then you need to make yourself a plan; don’t study aimlessly, it’s useless. You’ve taken the exams once. Know which subject dragged your total score down and focus on that one, but of course, also strengthen the rest.”

Qi Fengping listened, feeling enlightened, her thoughts becoming clearer, she remembered what Qi Jianguo said, hesitated a moment, then asked: ”Qi Jianguo said you know a lot, can I ask you about what I don’t understand?”

”Of course, but you need to take good care of me!” Cheng Su took the opportunity to request: ”There’s no free lunch, you know.”

Qi Fengping glared at her: ”Got it!”

Cheng Su laughed proudly.
