Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing He Jingyu's words.
“Jingyu is right. Whether you’re in politics or we’re in business, we need to be careful,” Qi Shuliang said. “In a way, we are all in this together. From now on, we will be of one mind and one heart, and work together to create a better future.”
Huo Zhekun smiled and said, "Okay, on behalf of the Huo family, I would also like to say that we will definitely provide you with sufficient convenience. Thank you for your support of the Huo family."
Officials and merchants have had a close relationship since ancient times.
If there are to be reforms, they should start with the economy, not the politics.
Economic reforms are inevitably inseparable from commerce.
The old planned economy was very rigid and no longer suitable for China's development; in fact, it had even restricted China's development.
Once you recognize this mistake, you will gradually correct it.
Everyone was engaged in a lively discussion, but Huo Yingjie remained silent, quietly drinking his tea.
"Second brother, why are you just drinking tea and not saying anything?" Huo Yingjun asked, somewhat puzzled. In a situation like this, his second brother should have joined the discussion!
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "You're all right, I have nothing to say!"
As long as the Huo family doesn't betray the country, there won't be any major trouble in the future.
Similarly, Qi Shuliang and Bai Qiongyu will continue to be treated well by China as long as they do not leak China's secrets.
At the same time, we are all intelligent people, and there are some things that we all understand without needing to say more.
"Hehe, don't you have any brilliant ideas?" Huo Yingjun laughed. His second brother was always the most shrewd and farsighted person in the family.
It's impossible for my second brother not to have his own ideas about such an important matter!
Everyone knew that Huo Yingjie was a shrewd little rascal, and they all looked at him.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, if he didn't say something substantial today, people would definitely think he had ulterior motives.
"Hehe!" Huo Yingjie chuckled. "I wouldn't call it insightful, but it reminded me of the Marxist philosophy about productive forces and relations of production. Insightful people have already realized that the current economic system and relations of production can no longer promote the development of productive forces; on the contrary, they hinder it. Therefore, reform is imminent, and there is a theoretical basis for this. You can act boldly; as long as it's not something that escalates to a nationalistic level, nothing will go wrong."
"Hehe, we've said so much, the theoretical basis is right here!" Qi Shuliang said, "It sounds very reasonable, continue!"
"Yes, Yingjie, please continue. We're all on the same side." Huo Zhekun wanted Huo Yingjie to say more in order to win over the Qi, Bai, and He families.
"Then let me offer my humble opinion," Huo Yingjie said modestly. "While the current planned economy can function under state control, it also lacks the flexibility and spontaneity of a free market like those abroad. The distribution system also significantly reduces people's enthusiasm for work. Reform would change the economic structure, allowing private enterprises (excluding state-owned enterprises) to participate in market competition, thus revitalizing the market and forcing the rigid planned economy to transform. From a purely economic perspective, this would increase employment, enrich people's material lives, and boost the local economy. From a political perspective, economic development would improve the living standards of local people and increase fiscal revenue—these are tangible achievements."
"Hehe, well said," Qi Shuliang said, having gained a new idea from Huo Yingjie's words.
Huo Zhekun's eyes lit up, and he gained more insights into his future career.
The group chatted until late at night before heading back to rest.
Even while lying in their sleeper berths, these people didn't go to sleep immediately, but instead thought about the conversations they had that evening.
This is the direction for future actions, and it is very important.
The train traveled for a day and a night and finally arrived in Nanshi.
As before, the train stopped in Nanshi for a day.
He Jingyu and his family paid tribute to his father, telling him that he was going to America with his wife and son. However, he also comforted himself that Tian Tian would continue to stay in Nanshi and would visit him often.
I pray that my father's spirit in heaven will protect our family and ensure their safety and good health.
That evening, He Jingyu stayed at home, and the family had a reunion dinner. They would be leaving the next day.
He Jingyu and Wang Shuping privately called He Tiantian over.
“Sweetie, these things in the house are things we used to hide. Now that we’re leaving, I’m telling you this.” He Jingyu said, “I told you before that I would give you all these things, so you should put them away quickly.”
He Tiantian was taken aback and looked at a large box on the table.
"Huh?" He Tiantian feigned surprise, "Mom and Dad, do we have some good stuff hidden in our house?"
“Of course, if we didn’t hide them, those people would have searched and taken them away. Not only would we have lost our things, but we would have been dragged out for public criticism. So we buried them. Fortunately, even though those Red Guards were crazy, they didn’t dig three feet into the ground, so we managed to save these things,” Wang Shuping said with a smile. “If you can wear them freely in the future, then you can wear them.”
He Tiantian opened it and saw the pair of jade bracelets on top.
The bright green color stung He Tiantian's eyes!
In her past life, Qi Fangfang wore this bracelet and also gave her a jade pendant.
At the time, she was grateful for Qi Fangfang's kindness, never expecting that all of this belonged to the He family!
Thank God, thank Earth.
In this life, she did not live in vain; she preserved the He family's possessions.
“Mom and Dad, now that we have a younger brother, why don’t you divide these things in half? We can each have half,” He Tiantian said. As the older sister, how could she take her brother’s things?
He Jingyu smiled and said, "It's still twenty years before your brother grows up. Besides, he'll be the one to take over the family business in the future. Your grandmother's business will probably fall into your brother's hands. He'll get more than you. Don't be shy, take it all. Otherwise, your mother and I will feel bad."
"Dad..." He Tiantian hesitated. She was already very satisfied with her current life and had no regrets at all!
As for material possessions, He Tiantian didn't want any more.
Seeing that her daughter still refused, Wang Shuping said gently, "Sweetie, just accept it! Because of the times, you couldn't have a complete education, and your father and I already feel guilty. This time when we go to America, you can't come with us to enjoy the affluent life your grandmother brought us, and we feel terrible about that. Only if you accept it can we go abroad with peace of mind."
"Yes, what your mother said is also what I wanted," He Jingyu said. "Take it!"
