The years of red flags

"That depends on how long you let me speak. If it's half an hour, I'll just speak. If it's ten minutes, I'll have to summarize it carefully."

The leader smiled and said, "Why can you speak so quickly in just half an hour?"

"There's plenty of time. Half an hour is enough to say a lot. I can talk about whatever comes to mind." Jiang Hua explained with a smile: "If it's ten minutes, I have to compress my random words. It's not easy to say something interesting in ten minutes."

"There's plenty of time." The leader laughed. "You can talk nonsense. The situation is very good now. I just want you to throw a bucket of cold water on them and cool them down. There were so many people this morning, and no one said that they should be prepared for danger in times of peace. If they continue to get too arrogant, there will be problems."

"Don't worry. I'm a professional at throwing cold water on people." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "I guarantee they'll feel cool even in the dog days of summer."

Another leader asked with a smile: "Didn't your Huaxing Group say that it had successfully manufactured a passenger plane? When will it be ready for mass production?"

"We are still making continuous improvements and conducting test flights almost every day in the hope of discovering potential deficiencies, but I don't think there will be any major problems." Jiang Hua said proudly: "The acceptance team of the relevant departments is ready to move into Huaxing Aerospace, and I believe the problems will not be too big."

"When I heard the news, I was so happy that I almost went crazy." A leader said with a smile: "We have a domestically-made passenger plane. It's just like a dream."

"It's all thanks to the hard work of researchers. A strong country depends on scientific research. Without technological progress, there will be no strong country. Unfortunately, I didn't hear anyone invest much in scientific research this morning."

"Don't get angry." The leader advised: "Besides, those companies this morning, although they are also large-scale, are not industry leaders after all. It is normal that they don't have such budget and investment."

Jiang Hua shook his head: "I am just anxious. If we just rely on our demographic dividend, shouldn't the working people earn a little more?"

"Your opinion is not consistent with your status." The leader said amiably: "If capitalists don't think about exploiting workers and increasing their welfare, won't you lose money?"

"It's just that they make less money." Jiang Hua shook his head: "The problem is that many domestic entrepreneurs don't think like capitalists, but like slave owners."

"What's the difference?"

"Capitalists only care about making money and don't care about other things of workers. But slave owners are different. Slave owners think that workers belong to them after they are paid. If they are idle for a while, these people will feel uncomfortable."

A leader nodded and said, "Yes, that's very vivid. Not only in the factory, but also in our units, there are many managers who think this way. They think that their subordinates are not working seriously when they are idle. I don't know where this idea comes from. Sometimes I feel confused."

"The ideology has not kept up. It is still the same ideology that has been around for thousands of years and has not kept up with the times." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "We need to strengthen their ideological education when we have time. It has been thousands of years, and the feudal society has passed, but their software still has not been updated."

The afternoon meeting continued. After the little incident at noon, people who were not familiar with Jiang Hua would come over to get close to him during the break. They did not know Jiang Hua's background, but being able to have lunch with the leader was enough to make it worth getting close to him.

After the exchanges during the lunch break, those who spoke in the afternoon obviously had more substantive content, and the experts on the stage also commented on everyone's reports. Sometimes, the leaders would call on Jiang Hua's name and ask him to comment.

With so many years of business career and Jiang Hua's experience from his previous life, sometimes just a few words can inspire everyone.

The leader also praised Jiang Hua: "After all, you are a senior who has been engaged in business activities since the opening up. You look at problems more practically than the rest of us. I believe that Jiang Hua's words are very inspiring to everyone. Here I would also like to call on everyone to learn more from this legendary figure in the business world. His company is the most successful private enterprise in the country. Studying him will be very helpful for your business development. I also hope that you, Jiang Hua, will not be stingy and answer all your questions from business colleagues." "The leader is pointing to me. I have never been conservative with my business colleagues." Jiang Hua smiled and said, "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. If I can explain it, I will definitely teach you everything I know."

After the first day of the meeting, Mr. Xu started to arrange a dinner, saying that since he had met a senior in the business world, he could not miss the last good opportunity to ask for advice.

The other party was so enthusiastic that Jiang Hua couldn't refuse and had to fulfill his wish.

This guy made the dinner very lively, with people toasting frequently and drinking clinking glasses. The dinner was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

Naturally, the gathering of these big guys would not end in one go. Under Jiang Hua's introduction, they went to the Chang'an Club.

President Xu smoked a cigar and said regretfully, "What a pity, this is in Beijing. If this were at our company headquarters, I could take you to see a song and dance performance after dinner."

"Singing and dancing performance?" Pony asked curiously, "Do you have this kind of entertainment in your place?"

Mr. Xu smiled and said: "We have a singing and dancing troupe in Hengda Group. They are all professional singers and dancers with very high professional qualities. When they dance, it is pleasing to the eyes."

"As a real estate developer, why would you start a dance troupe if you don't focus on building houses?" Ding Sanshi said with a smile, "The two are totally unrelated."

“We call this the construction of spiritual civilization.”

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "This is actually an old saying, which goes, when you are full and warm, you will think about what you want. When people are full and warm, they will want to have some entertainment. Isn't that normal?"

Except for Mr. Xu, everyone else showed a look of understanding on their faces, and said in unison: "Oh, so that's it."

President Wang said in a constipated tone: "I'm afraid your song and dance troupe is not only about building spiritual civilization, but also about building roads through mountains and bridges over rivers."

President Xu picked up his cigar and said arrogantly: "It's vulgar for you to say that. We call this the joint construction of spiritual civilization, which is a great cause."

Jiang Hua remained silent, and the others raised their teacups: "Mr. Xu, that's a good idea."

"I plan to bring my dance troupe to the Spring Festival Gala." President Xu said with a smile, "We will showcase the corporate culture of Hengda Group and let people all over the country participate in the construction of our spiritual civilization."

There was a burst of laughter from the box, but everyone felt a little disdainful towards this person in their hearts.
