Qin Tian went into Wang Shouren's small courtyard and brewed himself some tea.
Wang Shouren said irritably, "Well, you certainly know how to enjoy yourself, making things difficult for yourself."
"We're old friends, can't I come over and enjoy some tea? I can't even find a decent tea leaf at home these days."
"Ha, aren't you afraid people will say you're extravagant?"
"I'm talking about you, what does it have to do with me?" Qin Tian blinked, then sighed, "I've known you for over twenty years. You looked like this for over twenty years, and you'll still look like this twenty years from now. To be honest, your health regimen is truly enviable."
"Ha, I started taking care of my health when I was eighteen, what about you?" Wang Shouren curled his lip in disdain: "Besides, I don't have that many worries."
Wang Shouren wasn't that old, or rather, his age wasn't that obvious.
But this did not arouse suspicion from above.
Because this thing is a variant.
Normal people, when they're young, have a lot of drive and want to do whatever they want. It's like what adults say: don't eat cold food in winter, it'll upset your stomach. Who would believe that in their teens or twenties? They just want what tastes good. Only when they get older, eat something cold, and have a stomachache all night, will they understand.
Oh, so my body isn't young anymore.
Most people have gone through this stage.
Do you really think middle-aged people like to take care of themselves? No, that's a signal their bodies are sending them. If they don't take care of themselves, they won't even be able to sleep well.
This is a forced process. When they reach this stage and realize that something is wrong with their bodies, they will advise the next generation not to do so many things that harm their health.
But will the next generation listen?
No, they won't listen. They'll only realize the good intentions of their elders when they reach middle age.
Education always completes its closed loop in this way.
However, Wang Shouren was different. He started practicing health preservation at the age of eighteen. He never drank cold or iced water and always carried a thermos. When he was young, he filled it with warm water. As he got older, he would brew some angelica and goji berries, and occasionally some ginseng. As a Tai Chi master, he had a very thorough understanding of what his body needed.
When it comes to health preservation, those who don't know much about it don't know anything, but those who do all agree that this guy is a health preservation master.
Therefore, many people still wait for Wang Shouren to treat them every year.
It was because of this that Xu Yuanzheng embarked on the path of medicine, which infuriated Xu Weiwei.
"What a troubling thing, sigh." Qin Tian sighed, took a sip of tea, and lit a cigarette. The air circulation here was good, and the smell of smoke dissipated in no time. "Back then, when you resolutely retired from the Ministry of Industry, did you foresee this situation?"
Qin Tian's sigh contained an unknown amount of bitterness.
"What's going on?"
"How could you not know the situation? To be honest, I didn't want to take over the Ministry of Industry back then. It was just that Li Weiguo was bad at judging people. I couldn't hand over the entire Ministry of Industry to someone like that. Actually, the Ministry of Industry was fine. Who knew that once I took office, I would be restricted in every way and be too passive? It was only because you were willing to help me that I was able to get through the early stages." Qin Tian said this with a smile.
The Ministry of Industry was in a really bad situation in the early stages, beset by internal and external troubles.
If it weren't for Wang Shouren's 1780 project, the situation would probably be even worse.
Later, Wang Shouren also tried his best to inject fresh blood into the country, which enabled China's industry to advance to a higher level. At least, it was much better than in his previous life.
Why bring that up? It's all in the past.
Qin Tian stared intently at Wang Shouren: "Back then, didn't you also think this wouldn't work?"
"No." Wang Shouren shook his head.
"Tell me the truth."
“That’s the truth.” Wang Shouren sighed. “Tell me about the obstacles my schemes faced when they were implemented. From going abroad, to getting people from Hong Kong to invest, to fighting lawsuits overseas. It was alright in the first few years, but after entering the 1990s, one problem after another arose. I had to cut ties, but that wasn’t the main reason I left.”
"Then what is the main reason?" Qin Tian had always been curious about this.
As time went by, those who initially mocked Wang Shouren gradually grew old. In fact, those who mocked Wang Shouren also went through several phases.
The first stage was when Wang Shouren resigned and took over a motorcycle factory, which made them laugh for a while. Even those who didn't laugh couldn't understand what this guy was thinking.
The second phase was mostly filled with cursing. Good heavens, he set up a motorcycle factory, and the next year he was selling them overseas! It was only then that they realized, "Good heavens, Wang Shouren had already laid out his plans overseas. Now he's breaking away from the organization to make money on his own?" Some of the more radical ones even wanted to arrest Wang Shouren and interrogate him thoroughly.
Fortunately, during this period, the top leader and Li Weiguo withstood the pressure.
He stepped forward to vouch for his identity.
This is something Wang Shouren only learned later. It was also where his naivety lay.
Therefore, many people, including Qin Tian, believe that this person has some self-awareness. Would anyone with high sensitivity do such a thing? And the attitude of the higher-ups is also very simple: this person has a pure heart.
Of course, this is a high-EQ statement.
High emotional intelligence: A childlike heart.
Low emotional intelligence: recklessly bold.
In 1979, who would dare to cause such trouble? Smart people kept a low profile and watched the times unfold.
At this stage, although people felt that Wang Shouren did a decent job, most did not think that his choice was correct. A businessman is far less capable than someone with the potential to reach the highest position.
By the third stage, which is Qin Tian's stage, everyone had gotten old. Looking back, wow, apart from a few who could rise to high positions, this guy was living the high life. He was selling goods overseas, making huge amounts of foreign exchange, and his superiors had to appease him. Of course, he was also sensible, helping out when needed and retreating without hesitation.
Money is something you only need enough of; you don't need to be extravagant.
His courtyard is luxurious enough for an official, but for the richest man—as everyone says, he's the richest man, so what's wrong with a slightly more expensive house and more expensive renovations? It would be strange if it weren't expensive. He enjoys it lavishly, and no one can say anything about it.
