Chapter 219 Leadership is Foresight
"No, no." Cha Kuiyuan pulled the corner of his mouth, "This is a good thing, a good thing! Haha."

"Shou Chong, De Ming, I seem to have a bit of heat stroke today," he stood up shakily, holding the back of the chair, waved to Zhang Shou Chong, touched his forehead, and said weakly, "I feel a bit dizzy, I'll go home first."

"Ah, second brother-in-law, are you okay?" Wang Deming and Zhang Shouchong stood up together.

Zhang Shouchong took two steps forward to support him and said with concern: "Second brother-in-law, I will take you back."

"It's okay, I can walk by myself. Just go home and drink some Huoxiang Zhengqi water. I have some at home."

"Oh, it's already this late and you're still trying to be brave? Come, I'll take you Deming home. I'll take my second brother-in-law home first, and we'll continue our conversation another day." Zhang Shouchong helped Cha Kuiyuan out of the door and turned back to say to Wang Deming, "You hold the most shares, so you have to set an example."

Wang Deming burst out laughing. It turned out that this was the reason why he came to see him.

Cha Kuiyuan also looked back before leaving. Wang Deming understood the meaning of his eyes and nodded.

Cha Kuiyuan is not a person, he actually represents a type of people.

From the information I have learned from various networks in my past life, I know that scientists have national boundaries, but capitalists have no national boundaries. This is also the most important point in distinguishing experts.

Although they have a nice name at this time: national capitalism, which is different from the bureaucratic capitalism of the bald period, capital means exploitation. Who would be willing to work hard if they can get something for nothing?

Tonight, Zhang Shouchun's daughters, including her elder sister Yan Baozhen, took their children to escape the heat in the cross-courtyard of No. 18 Qinlao Hutong. Some played mahjong, some chatted in the cool air, and there were snack stalls open until midnight: cheese, snowflake cheese, lotus leaf porridge, ice bowls, Aiwowo, donkey rolls, cut cakes, rolls, and all kinds of fire-baked bread.
In the beginning, there were actually only a few stalls selling iced drinks such as cheese and snow yogurt. Later, the big-nosed people also discovered this Feng Shui treasure land in summer. It was not as crowded as Beihai Park and Shichahai Park, and the scenery was also very good. After receiving traditional Chinese medicine health care in the evening, they gradually gathered here.

The only thing that made them unhappy was that no alcoholic beverages were provided here. Wang Deming specifically told Diana about this. He didn't want someone with a big nose to get drunk and make such a beautiful garden a mess.

Wang Deming brewed another pot of tea, turned the wooden box to the news channel, sat cross-legged on the bed, and continued to fan himself leisurely with a palm-leaf fan. Not long after, Cha Kuiyuan came back.

Cha Kuiyuan also changed into a refreshing round-neck summer shirt. After entering the room, he moved his chair directly to face Wang Deming. When Wang Deming poured him tea, he asked again impatiently: "Deming, do you really want to hand over everything?"

"I didn't have any regrets about giving up a small Chinese medicine factory before, but now the beverage factory can make 50 rubles a day! If converted into dollars, it would cost several million. Although my share is small, less than 10 points, these 10 points are enough to pass on to my descendants!"

"Is it the shares of the Bank of Qing that were passed down? Or the shares of the Salt Bank? Or the shares of the Big Four Hengs, or the shares of the pawnshop?" Wang Deming picked up the teacup, tilted the lid slightly, and took a sip.

"This is different, this is real industry!"

"If the new China had not been established, Hou Debang's Yongli Alkali Company would still be in India and unable to return!"

Cha Kuiyuan was speechless after being asked two questions by Wang Deming.

Wang Deming glanced at him and asked, "Does Second Sister know about this?"

Cha Kuiyuan shook his head, "I haven't told her yet."

Wang Deming continued to fan himself with a palm-leaf fan. If it were not for a feather fan and if he were not wearing a loose Taoist robe, it would really have given him the feel of a Taoist wearing a feather fan and a silk scarf.

"I explained to you that I was going to sell my shares during the Spring Festival this year. I also explained it to you when I first asked you to invest in the Chinese medicine factory. Second brother-in-law, you understood it at the time because you didn't feel bad about selling your father's land? Now you suddenly realize that this factory was built by you with great effort, so you are reluctant to give it up?" "Ah, yes, yes."

Wang Deming shook his head and slowly retorted: "Second brother-in-law, the Chinese medicine factory has grown from more than 100 people at the beginning to more than 200 people, and now to several thousand people. Which one of you has not contributed to the development of the Chinese medicine factory?"

"I"

Wang Deming held up a palm-leaf fan and interrupted him, "We can say that we provided the initial capital and channels, but this only means that our contribution is slightly greater than others; but as one of the managers of the factory, do we really contribute more than ordinary workers?"

Wang Deming's eyelids drooped, and he spoke in a low voice, "Except for a few great men, the land of China would remain the same without anyone else."

"But we founded it. How could there be a Chinese medicine factory without us?" Cha Kuiyuan still felt dissatisfied.

Wang Deming smiled and said calmly, "Second brother-in-law, how did the ice factory that Third Brother was involved in go bankrupt? What could you create in the chaotic social environment before liberation? What could you create without experienced Chinese medicine masters? Without the government's help in coordinating the planting of herbs in various places, what would you use to produce?"

"People should know themselves. I don't deny that everyone has his strengths, such as being good at communication, management, and leadership, but is this really necessary?"

A few words from Mao's Selected Works flashed through my mind, and I repeated them, "What is leadership? What is the relationship between leadership and foresight? Foresight means foreseeing future trends in advance. If there is no foresight, is it leadership? I say it is not leadership. Stalin said: Without foresight, it is not leadership. Foresight is necessary in order to lead."

"Dogmatism and empiricism make foresight impossible. Without foresight there is no leadership, and without leadership there is no victory. Therefore, it can be said that without foresight there is nothing."

Cha Kuiyuan was stunned, and finally asked unwillingly, "Deming, is there really no other way?"

Wang Deming was too lazy to answer and continued to fan himself leisurely with a palm-leaf fan and listen to the wooden box. "This letter came at a good time."

Unable to get a reply from Wang Deming for a long time, Cha Kuiyuan looked at him hopefully, twisting his buttocks uneasily from time to time. Finally, he stood up with a long sigh and walked towards the door, looking back every few steps.

Seeing that Wang Deming still didn't say anything, he leaned against the door frame and asked again, "Deming, do you really want to give up everything?"

"You can discuss this with your second sister."

Cha Kuiyuan nodded silently and left.

Wang Deming looked at his back and fell into deep thought. When he was a child in his previous life, he watched various celebrity speeches, mainly businessmen, as well as various chicken soup speeches by readers. He was truly in awe of them.

In the words of Mr. Ma Sanli: Just teasing you!
What is a problem? A problem is a contradiction in things. Wherever there is an unresolved contradiction, there is a problem.

There are contradictions in every era, right? It’s just that we no longer mention contradictions, or ignore them?

Wang Deming smiled and quickly donated his shares. This is what it means to be a humble person.
