As long as they are making money legally and compliantly, then there is nothing wrong with that, and there is no need to look at their huge wealth with the theory of original sin. If they are willing to give back to the society and donate to support education like Cao Dewang, they should be encouraged positively, even if they say the wrong thing, they don't need to go online.

Recently, Cao Dewang talked about the Fuyao University of Science and Technology that he is preparing, and said——".We have made a preliminary calculation, the cost of training a student for one year will be subsidized by 10,000 yuan, and more than 200,000 yuan will be needed for four yearsIf I don't become a talent, I will lose money and lose face, so we will be very responsible to say that this will be the cradle of entrepreneurs and scientists." Two years ago, Cao Dewang's Heren Charity Association announced that it would invest 10 billion yuan to build Fuyao University of Science and Technology, which attracted widespread attention. As the founder of a private non-profit university, Cao Dewang originally wanted to talk about the cost of talent training, so as to spur students to work hard and spur himself to run a serious school, but this remark exploded on the Internet and attracted a lot of scolding.

Some netizens complained that the goodness of businessmen is hypocrisy, and they can't afford to be unprofitable;Some netizens said that he hyped up every day as if he was noble, but the employees of his company refused to increase their salaries;Some people also questioned whether he funded the establishment of the university to give back to the society or cultivate money-making toolsIt is not surprising that Cao's remarks have sparked controversy. In fact, because of his outspoken personality and high-profile philanthropic style, Cao Dewang has always been a controversial topic on the field. This time, when we talk about the cost of talent training, we regard whether students can become talented people as a matter related to their own "money and face", which will inevitably leave the outside world with a sense of businessmanship and shrewdness. Talent training itself is a long-term project, affected by multiple factors, and the investment in education funds may not be able to see direct returns in the short term, so it is difficult to simply and rudely use money to measure whether it is worth it. However, even if his remarks are uncomfortable, there is no need for a large number of special criticisms. Cao Dewang is first and foremost a businessman and an entrepreneur, even if he devotes himself to education, of course, he must consider the benefits of input and output, and "calculate" whether the money is spent in the right place.

If the daily cost of students is completely negligible, then his tens of billions of public welfare investment may not be much movement if it is smashed, and it is naturally difficult to continue for a long time the public welfare and good deeds of cultivating talents for the society. Some netizens said that students will also pay tuition fees when they go to university, which means that Cao Dewang's so-called subsidy is not valid. This is a misconception of the cost of running a university. In fact, even private universities will also have some financial subsidies, let alone public universities, and it is far from being able to maintain the normal operation of a university by relying on the tuition fees paid by students alone. Therefore, this is also the value of Cao Dewang and other non-governmental forces to devote themselves to education in the form of public welfare and charity. At the very least, he has enriched educational resources, giving students an easier way out, and at the same time saving financial costs. For similar acts of kindness, society should be more tolerant, instead of nitpicking and maliciously speculating about Cao Dewang's philanthropic motives. In fact, combined with the context of Cao Dewang's remarks, we can also understand his original meaning. To put it bluntly, his remarks, even if there are elements of inviting merit from the outside world, the final foothold is to vigorously invest and seriously run the school. In his opinion, this money was invested by him, and it must be used in a down-to-earth manner, and it must not be wasted. Therefore, Cao Dewang's controversial remarks are not so much that the capitalists are calculating and eager for quick success, but rather that they are based on a public advertisement and commitment to run a school by businessmenIt is precisely because he is willing to invest money that Cao Dewang confidently adds, "We will be very responsible to say that this will be the cradle of entrepreneurs and scientists." In any case, Cao Dewang is preparing to build Fuyao University of Science and Technology, and this 10 billion yuan is a real investment, and the construction is a public welfare university. After spending such a large amount of money, he certainly has a reason to "calculate" the cost of talent training and "calculate" the gains and losses of input and output.

From another point of view, although the public nature of education is very strong, it must also be built on the basis of respecting the laws of the market, and the school operators have a sense of cost and spend the money in practice, so that talent training can be more efficient. At this level, although Cao Dewang's statement is very naked, it is not necessarily wrong. For a period of time, the public statements of entrepreneurs are easy to cause various misunderstandings, and there is no lack of malice towards entrepreneurs from some netizens. With a preconceived position, after buttoning the hat of a capitalist, everything that those entrepreneurs say seems to be wrong. This kind of thinking is not necessary. Businessmen seek profit, and it has nothing to do with nobility, and this is true of their own business. As long as they are making money legally and compliantly, then there is nothing wrong with that, and there is no need to look at their huge wealth with the theory of original sin. If they are willing to give back to the society and donate to support education like Cao Dewang, they should be encouraged positively, even if they say the wrong thing, they don't need to go online. Just imagine, if you invest tens of billions of yuan to run a university to do good deeds and cultivate suitable talents for the society, even this has to be criticized, who will be willing to assume social responsibility in the future?100 help plan
