Being one step ahead of the times means being a pioneer.
But if you are too far ahead of the times, you will become a martyr.
Why did we in ancient times emphasize that success requires “the right time, the right place, and the right people”?
Because the right timing is so important.
After being pushed out of the office by Director Huo, Lin Huowang began to reflect on himself.
Indeed, the domestic and international environment at that time was very different from that in the late 1980s and early 1990s when he officially started his business.
Moreover, Lin Huowang guessed that Lin Tongchun must have just experienced something similar, which was why he felt so disgusted with his proposal to start a company in Japan.
Things have come to this point, and Lin Huowang knows that he can no longer force it.
The first impression I left on Lin Tongchun was bad enough that it would be difficult to reverse it through short-term efforts.
"Comrade Lin Huowang, I have a piece of advice for you. You have achieved success at a young age, but you cannot sit back and think that you are the best in the world and can do anything.
Just as Mr. Lin Tongchun said just now, as a native Chinese, how can you make a lot of money by going to Japan?
People, it is better to be pragmatic. I hope you can reflect on this matter and find your own position and value.
Our great socialist country is waiting for young and promising talents like you to build it!"
Although he pushed Lin Huowang out forcefully, Director Huo still appreciated young people like Lin Huowang very much, and hoped that he could learn from his mistakes, not fall down after experiencing setbacks, but go to a higher level and become more mature in his thinking.
"Yes! Okay. Director Huo, thank you. I am sorry for causing you trouble. Please tell Mr. Lin Tongchun later. I am sorry for disturbing you."
Nodding, Lin Huowang didn't insist any further. He took his documents and turned to leave the factory director's office.
"He is a real man. His future achievements should be limitless."
Seeing Lin Huowang leaving decisively, Director Huo was quite surprised. He thought Lin Huowang would at least plead with him a few more times.
This kind of character that allows one to take on responsibilities and let go of things will definitely enable one to accomplish great things.
Turning back to the office, Director Huo smiled and said to Lin Tongchun: "Mr. Lin, Comrade Lin Huowang just asked me to sincerely apologize to you on his behalf. However, I am still quite puzzled. Why didn't you even take a look at his business plan? Do you really not give such a young man any chance at all?"
Lin Tongchun shook his head and said, "Director Huo, you should also know that before I came to the Northeast this time, I went to my hometown Fuqing.
This trip back home is a return of glory. My fellow villagers were very warm and kind to me.
But there is one thing, everyone wants me to take them to Japan to try their luck.
I have met no less than twenty young people like Lin Huowang.
Each of them talked a lot in front of me, saying that they wanted to open a machinery factory in Japan, do engineering work in Japan, and do this and that in Japan.
I was really amused and confused when I heard this. It was as if as long as I took them to Japan, they would immediately become business tycoons and quickly make a huge fortune.
I can only say that young people nowadays are all too ambitious.
At this age, I don’t want to think about enriching my knowledge and developing corresponding abilities first.
Instead, they all want to achieve success overnight and become their own boss and start their own business. How can it be that easy?
Because of this, I even had some unpleasantness with several of my cousins.
They thought they were rich, so they looked up to the sky and looked down on their poor relatives, refusing to even lend a helping hand.
What else could I do? So I could only tell them that it was no problem to take these young people to Japan.
I can take care of everything, including visas and fees, and can even guarantee that they can obtain a green card and permanent residence in Japan.
But there is a prerequisite: after arriving in Japan, they must first study Japanese for one year in a language school.
Then, those who have a talent for learning will continue to go to high school and take the college entrance examination. Those who do not have a talent for learning will work as workers in my fabric factory or as salespersons in department stores.
I covered all their expenses before they started earning a salary.
But you know what? As soon as I finished talking about this plan, those cousins turned against me completely.
They said that they wanted their children to go to Japan and become big bosses and businessmen like me, not to be workers or sales clerks.
They said I was tricking the children into working as laborers and that I had ulterior motives..."
At this point, Lin Tongchun was even more amused and said to Director Huo: "Director Huo, how do you think I should deal with this?"
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Director Huo shook his head helplessly and said, "It's hard for an honest judge to judge family affairs! Doing business is not that easy! They only see your glorious side, Mr. Lin, but only you know the hard work and price you paid behind the scenes.
If I were in your position, I would definitely be in a dilemma.
It's not right to bring it, and it's not right not to bring it. I'll be blamed for everything, it's not worth it!"
"That's the truth, right? So, the tone of Lin Huowang's speech that I heard just now was exactly the same as that of my nephews and nephews.
Director Huo, if you meet Lin Huowang again, please apologize to him on my behalf!
I really can't help him with this. If he is really an ambitious young man, he should stay in the country and use his intelligence and talents to serve the motherland! "
"Yes! I'll pass it on. In fact, Lin Huowang is, after all, a good comrade."
