1987: Sleepless Tonight

"Now, our per capita income is not high and our material conditions are not rich. Having a bicycle for a family is already considered a great thing and we are very proud of it. This is still the situation in the city. In many rural areas, there are hundreds of households in the entire village. There may be only one or two households with a bicycle, and the same is true for televisions." Lu Hao described the basic situation.

"However, in another 40 to [-] years, every household in rural areas will have a TV. As for bicycles, they will be eliminated. Many families will have cars, and many families will also install air conditioners. Even those with slightly poorer economic conditions will have TVs. There will be no shortage of cars, even if there are no cars, there will definitely be motorcycles and motorcycles for transportation.”

???

!!!

Fang Bilong's mouth opened wide, and he looked at Lu Hao in disbelief, "Boss Lu, are you really right? This is the situation in rural areas. Every household in rural areas has a TV, and many families also have air conditioners and cars. ?”

"Do you know the situation in rural areas? Have you been to rural areas? Many families in rural areas still don't have enough to eat, their clothes are patched, and they wear thin clothes even in the winter. It will take three to forty years to achieve what you said. Condition?"

"The situation you mentioned cannot be achieved in cities, even cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. You are too optimistic about the future."

A car, even a cheap one, costs tens of thousands of yuan.

Not to mention the countryside, let alone the city, even the official cars used by government agencies are very budget-conscious, they are too expensive!

Lu Hao said that in a few decades, many families in rural areas will have cars. What, Chinese cabbage, free of charge?

While the two were chatting, Hannah had been acting as a translator, translating their conversation to Kevin.

Kevin also said at this time, "I'm also curious about how Mr. Lu could be so confident and make such a prediction. It sounds like a fantasy."

"I'm not talking big words, but I have evidence." Lu Hao looked at Kevin, "Mr. Kevin, what do you think humans are made of?"

What is a human being made of?

What Lu Hao said was very strange.

However, this kind of jump, about human nature, and issues such as values, is very suitable for Kevin's taste.

After thinking for a while, Kevin said, "People are made of carbohydrates."

"Yes, people are indeed composed of carbohydrates, but people are still composed of body and spirit. If a person only has a glorious body but no soul, then this person is actually low-level and has no connotation. Yes, Mr. Kevin, do you agree with what I said?" Lu Hao asked.

When it came to these relatively obscure translations, Fang Bilong was very conscious and did not speak. Instead, Hannah continued to translate to Kevin. Only Hannah could accurately translate Lu Hao's meaning.

"Mr. Lu's statement is surprising, but your statement is more correct." Kevin said.

In fact, Lu Hao could understand everything Kevin said in English, but he still paused for a moment and waited for Hannah to translate Kevin's words into Chinese before he continued, "Since Mr. Kevin agrees, then I will It goes on to say that human beings are composed of body and spirit, and the body carries the spirit, which is what we call the soul.”

"All good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are unique. If a person does not have a soul, he is just a walking corpse. The soul will dissipate without a body, but the spirit represented in the soul will be passed down."

There are actually some differences between the soul and the spirit. The soul is more concrete, while the spirit is more abstract. The soul is more microscopic, and the spirit is more macroscopic.

Hannah translated Lu Hao's words at almost the same time, and Kevin couldn't help but nod. His eyes when looking at Lu Hao became more respectful.

If you want to gain respect, it is very simple. You must either use force to achieve this goal, or you must achieve this goal through the height of thought.

But the method of force can only make the other party feel scared and surrender on the surface, and if the height of thought can suppress the other party, it will make the other party convinced.

The shape of war is changing all the time.

In the past, wars achieved their goals by destroying the opponent's body, eliminating living forces, and erasing traces of the opponent's existence from the material aspect. But now, including in the future, this goal is achieved through values ​​and from the ideological level.

To put it simply, it is actually brainwashing.

Now Kevin was obviously shocked by what Lu Hao said, and he had a deeper understanding of Lu Hao.

"A country or a nation also consists of two parts. One is the people of this nation and country, as well as other material things, and the other is mainly the spirit, or cultural tradition, of this nation and country." This is what Lu Hao wants to express.

"Our country has a cultural history of 5000 years. During most of these 5000 years, it has been ahead of other regions and countries in the world. Although there have been constant wars and many dynasty changes during this period, our culture has always been All have been accumulated and have not been annihilated with the change of dynasties.”

"Human life span is only a few decades. The longest dynasty in our country is the Zhou Dynasty, which has a history of nearly 800 years, but our culture has a history of 5000 years."

"Dynasties change, and the throne takes turns, but culture has a long history and endures. Our spirit is there, and the nation's thoughts are there. Even if we are temporarily backward, beaten, and bumpy, as long as we encounter the right opportunity, we can climb up again. Get up, 30 years is enough."

"So, based on this judgment and confidence in our culture, I think that in 30 years, we will be able to develop quite well, reaching the level I just mentioned."

"Napoleon said that there is a lion sleeping in the East. I think his judgment of us was very accurate, and this lion is now waking up."

If the culture is there and the spirit is there, then the foundation of this nation and this country is there!Temporarily lagging behind, temporarily hesitant, but after all, it will not always be like this. As long as the environment is suitable, it can once again burst out with huge potential!

"Mr. Lu, you are not only a businessman, but also a philosopher, a thoughtful and profound philosopher." Kevin took the initiative to reach out and spoke very highly of Lu Hao.

Lu Hao shook hands with him, "If you want to grow your business, you must have different beliefs. My belief is to proactively give subordinates and employees a stage to perform, and then they will definitely create a very outstanding company." The company can become one of the world's top 500 companies and achieve amazing results!"
