"For me personally, my goal from the beginning was very clear: I wanted to show the world that our country's technology is not lagging behind. It can also surpass others, and I wanted my products to go global."
Wang Shouren paused for a moment, then said, "Perhaps many people think that this concept of a dream is too grand. But in reality, it is just a concept. What is a chef's dream? It's probably to make the most delicious food in the world. And how do you make it? Knife skills, craftsmanship, and temperature control—do all of these need to be mastered one by one?"
“That’s how I explain it to my employees too. You need to figure out what you want to do here first. For example, if you want to become an engineer, but you’re just an ordinary worker right now, how do you do it? Naturally, you have to learn knowledge and gradually work your way up. And our factory can provide you with those conditions. That’s barely enough to meet the workers’ spiritual needs.”
"reluctantly?"
“Yes, it’s a struggle. Studying is a tedious process, and not many people can persevere.” Wang Shouren smiled and said, “There has to be a goal. If, after making money here, you spend it all on eating, drinking, and having fun, then at most three of the five needs I mentioned will be met. I think that I, as someone who has become rich first, have not done a good job of helping others to become rich later.”
"The so-called 'post-wealth' is not just about financial wealth; it also requires spiritual wealth."
"When the granaries are full, people know etiquette. I believe this saying is true. Therefore, what I have always encouraged is not going to work. Going to work is just a means of making a living. The time for employees to improve themselves is after get off work."
"Isn't that a bit too strenuous?" Host Zhao asked.
"Whether you feel tired or not depends on the individual. If you don't want to, you can just stroll around. But there are only so many entertainment options here, and people inevitably get bored after a while. In the end, you need to find a goal that you can strive for for a lifetime. This goal doesn't have to be great, but it needs to be difficult enough. Whether it's a chef, fitter, blacksmith, driver, engineer, or any other profession, you can actually delve deeper into it."
“Our library has a whole set of learning methods. What I advocate even more is that we should learn as long as we live.”
"To toughen the body and enrich the spirit, that's what I want to do most..."
On the television, Wang Shouren was playing his flute with a deafening roar and an imposing air.
Wang Shouren, watching from outside the television screen, was being looked down upon by two women.
"Good heavens, you're developing your own hobbies? What are your hobbies? You spend all day leisurely practicing boxing. If I remember correctly, you haven't opened a book in a long time. You've just been thinking about playing around, haven't you?" Qin Jingru said angrily.
Since Wang Shouren left the United States—oh no, since 1981—he began to gradually cultivate talent and delegate power. Slowly, he began to have more free time. Except for some important matters that required him to run around to build connections, he didn't do much else. He spent most of his time studying things like Tai Chi.
Now they're praising him loudly on TV, but outside of TV, how could those two women not know what kind of person he is?
"Stop it..." Wang Shouren was a little overwhelmed, then seemed to remember something: "Oh right, the food street has opened, can we go check it out..."
"Don't try to change the subject..."
Regardless of Wang Shouren's personal character, his words certainly caused a sensation.
In the tides of time, most people drift with the current. Few stop to think about why.
Wang Shouren's previous life was the same.
His family wasn't well-off in his previous life. When he was in school, he didn't understand what studying meant. For him, it meant playing games whenever there was one, and doing homework was mostly just to get by at school. He would feel anxious every time he saw his exam results, but he would also let go of that anxiety after the exam.
In other words, he spent most of the first half of his life in anxiety.
Upon graduating from school and excitedly entering society, he faced setbacks at every turn. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to be at the forefront of the times, seize a sliver of opportunity, and take off.
His journey after taking off wasn't as smooth as he'd imagined. Over the next few years, he made a considerable amount of money, but he didn't know how to spend it wisely. He spent money recklessly and without any planning. In a sense, he was still a child who hadn't grown up; he still hadn't grasped the rules of society. He had only achieved success through sheer enthusiasm and a bit of luck.
There is a saying that goes, "Virtue does not match one's position." He fell down, and during the time he fell, he reflected on why he had fallen.
After pondering for several years, I finally came across Shi Tiesheng's words: "He found a real gun on the road. Because of his youthful ignorance and fearlessness, he pulled the trigger. No one died, and no one was injured. He thought he had fired a blank. Later, when he was 30 or older, he was walking down the street and heard a faint sound of wind behind him. He stopped and turned around, and a bullet struck him right between the eyebrows..."
When Wang Shouren finally understood this sentence, he realized it was too late.
Having grasped the rules of the world, he no longer had the motivation to continue. He was old and no longer possessed the drive he once had.
Fortunately, he was reborn.
Having been reborn, one naturally wants to do something.
Therefore, in these interviews, besides the greater national interest, he was also subtly telling the audience: "Think about your future sooner rather than later, don't just focus on the present."
Of course, these things need to be guided gradually.
As for how many people can understand it, and how many people just treat it as a story, he doesn't know.
After his four-episode series aired, the first thing to be affected was the newspaper that had previously slandered him. The head of the newspaper was thoroughly investigated, and the investigation uncovered a whole host of other people.
Even Xu Jiaguo was taken away.
Before leaving, Xu Jiaguo didn't even have time to cause trouble for Wang Shouren, because he had far more trouble to deal with. Someone had exposed his bribery activities, and he was likely facing endless trials. His child was sent to an orphanage, and although he tried to contact Yunmeng, she ignored him.
