"If you had someone under your command who could increase the company's production by more than 50%, significantly improve efficiency, and possess outstanding work abilities—someone who could complete tasks no matter where they were sent—and most importantly, someone who had traveled almost all over the country, would you let him go...?"

"Of course not, this is the successor of the future!" the middle-aged man said decisively.

"That's it. He can't leave if he makes a small mistake, and he can't leave if he makes a big mistake either. The higher-ups will cover for him. As long as it's not a matter of principle, he can't leave. There's no other way but to do it himself." The old man smiled and flicked his cigarette ash. "We old folks were still saying that maybe he had already thought about this day and found two women in advance."

"two."

"Speaking of which, you should know a few of his women."

"Qin Family Village," Qin Huairu; Investment Queen, Qin Jingru; Hong Kong real estate tycoon, Lou Xiao'e; and the Xu family, Xu Weiwei..."

"Hiss..." The middle-aged man gasped.

In some ways, Wang Shouren's women were more famous than he was.

And it's much bigger.

Qinjiacun remains a leading brand among agricultural products in China today.

The "investment queen" was also exposed by netizens because they discovered that when these successful companies talked about the benefactors they encountered in their development, one person was always mentioned: Qin Jingru.

Lou Xiao'e is said to own land that is almost comparable to that of the Li family, except that the Li family is holding onto their land and refusing to sell, while Lou Xiao'e is simply too lazy to sell.

The Xu family goes without saying; they are already part of the same circle.

"Wow, he has such good taste? No, how could so many women be willing to follow him?"

"You think he only wanted those women because they became famous? Let me tell you, those women relied on Wang Shouren. He's the root of all that." The old man glanced at his son.

"In 1966, he married Qin Jingru. I heard that in the same year, he started having an affair with Qin Huairu, so he had two children."

The middle-aged man was filled with awe.

This is a true hero. Everyone knows what it meant to have two women in that era.

"Starting in 1966, he contacted Qinjiacun and secretly transported some goods from Qinjiacun to Beijing to sell. After that, life in Qinjiacun gradually improved. The Qin Huairu family and the Qin Jingru family gradually gained some influence in Qinjiacun. Later, they secretly cleared some wasteland and sold the extra produce without anyone noticing."

"Hiss... You've got guts."

Now it seems like nothing, reclaiming wasteland is a good thing, but in those days it would have been labeled as capitalist.

I wouldn't dare do that.

"It was from that time that Qin Family Village gradually began to improve under his guidance. During those ten years, he secretly brought talent into Qin Family Village. You know, during that period, many old professors suffered. It was also during that time that he defied public opinion and took in many old men."

"That is, what we now call a 'nursing home'. You should know which one I'm talking about."

"Then...that 'nursing home' is still related to him?" The middle-aged man was dumbfounded.

The “nursing home” is still a “nursing home”, except that any old man in it is a powerful figure. There’s a saying among them: if you can’t get a vice-state-level position by retirement, don’t even think about getting in. You can’t get in.

"Yes, to be precise, he is the real founder."

"This is what it means to have reached the highest level," the middle-aged man exclaimed.

"Ha, it's not just that he had connections to the highest levels of society, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had connections to the very bottom of the world, but he wouldn't have done it. In 1979, he used this incident as an excuse to resign from his job. At that time, I don't know how many people were laughing at him."

Even middle-aged men find it somewhat absurd.

The system, regardless of the era, is generally reliable. In fact, in the 70s, 80s, and even 90s, self-employed individuals were quite popular.

But that needs to be compared. Ordinary people within the system can't compare to self-employed individuals back then. But what level was Wang Shouren at? He was someone who could touch the ceiling. So why did he leave?

“We didn’t understand at first either, until he started selling motorcycles overseas, then we understood. This guy didn’t put down his technology for ten years. You could say it was all happening simultaneously. In the ‘retirement home,’ he discussed a lot of knowledge with many old professors. That world-leading engine was also developed during that time. He completed the technological accumulation during those ten years.”

"Ten years later, he didn't immediately start his own business. Instead, he waited until the market was completely open before resigning and going out on his own."

"From motorcycles to cars, we produced the first fully domestically produced car in China." The old man listed his achievements one by one.

"Of course, these honors are brought to him by technology, but what is truly astonishing is his foresight. He always manages to choose the right thing at the right time. After producing cars, his production in the United States did not go smoothly. At this time, his other wife, Lou Xiao'e, stepped in and connected with the shipping magnate's channels, opening up the channels in an instant."

"Later on, his marketing case even became one of the top ten marketing cases in human history, which you should know."

"Using the legal system..."

"This kind of transnational marketing is very difficult, and the fact that he was able to do it speaks volumes."

The middle-aged man was referring to the lawsuit he had with Xiaoziri back then, which lasted for eight years. After eight years, Xiaoziri paid some money to settle the matter, but in reality, everyone's fame rose to a new level because of this incident.

"Based on his skills, it can be said that he has perfectly utilized his own resources," the old man remarked.

"Once he had money, he invested most of it in scientific research, and most of his personal wealth was used for infrastructure."

"Infrastructure?"

"Yes, as I just said, he has been involved in many large infrastructure projects in China. However, he always gives money and then leaves nothing behind, asking for nothing in return."

"Hiss..." The middle-aged man gasped.

I really don't know how to describe this person; they're practically at the level of a saint.
