One big and one small are practicing love

In front of the self-service water dispenser in the museum, I took a cup of warm water in a paper cup and found a stool nearby to sit down.

Drink water and rest. The information I just read formed thoughts in my mind unconsciously.

Unparalleled quality, developed and leading technology, rigorous and serious attitude, the resulting economic benefits are extremely high. People here can live a prosperous and relaxed life without much effort. This is an extremely powerful manifestation of opportunity, and Zuo Kunmin cannot help but reflect on himself.

Recalling that seven or eight years ago, Wang Luoxia and I first experienced Germany's advanced industrial technology. The two had completely different views on the development of the enterprise.

Wang Luoxia was deeply affected and wanted to develop the manufacturing industry wholeheartedly, investing large sums of money into scientific research and improving the quality of technology and products.

At that time, Zuo Kunmin also recognized and praised German industrial technology. But young Zuo Kunmin, like most male entrepreneurs, is ambitious, adventurous, has a strong desire to make money, and has a high self-esteem.

At that time, the country was also in the golden period of economic development, and the supply of products exceeded demand. There are many opportunities to make quick money: real estate, finance, tourism, film and television, etc. Zuo Kunmin wants to try them all.

It was also that time that Zuo Kunmin and Wang Luoxia had serious differences. The two ran different industries separately, and Wang Luoxia remained in the south, focusing on manufacturing. Zuo Kunmin bought land and ran real estate in Beijing, founded a financial company in Shanghai, invested in the Hong Kong film and television industry, and built hotels in many tourist attractions.

Although I have caught up with the development of the times in recent years, I have made a lot of money by investing and operating in many industries. But over the years, Zuo Kunmin's body and mind have gone through countless hellish temperings.

Kneel before government bureaucrats without dignity and accept their unfair rules and exploitation. Because of the numbers and charts, my heart was in my throat and soles of my feet, undergoing violent roller coaster changes. Fierce competition, snatching food from the tiger's mouth, biting, fighting, plotting like wild beasts, and getting injured. Due to market turbulence and changes in political policies, the company has fallen into a huge crisis. It has been unable to pay wages, loan sharks have been collecting debts, and dozens of lawsuits have been filed at the same time. It has been unable to sleep for a long time, and it has collapsed without warning...

Collide with many people, things and things. Wife, father, mother passed away one after another, taking care of children, and other experiences. Many of Zuo Kunmin's delusions, ignorance, and desires were broken, and he slowly returned to his true nature.

Earning more money and having a bigger career are not my fundamental pursuits. Doing things that are truly valuable and meaningful to oneself, society, and the people is Zuo Kunmin’s original intention in starting a business.

In recent years, Zuo Kunmin has voluntarily given up many properties and rejected many unnecessary interpersonal interactions. Don’t blindly follow the popular industries such as the Internet, logistics, and electronic products that are currently popular. Currently, it focuses on manufacturing and operates a few real estate, hotels, and tourism businesses.

Zuo Kunmin thought that he had given up a lot and had invested enough energy in industry. But after many years, Zuo Kunmin realized that he had not done enough when he once again had an in-depth understanding of German industry.

Because he has worked hard and seriously to invest a lot of effort in industrial manufacturing, he knows how difficult the process of creating, applying, recognizing, and realizing value of each technology is.

Germany can fully blossom in many technologies, and every product has extremely high quality. Zuo Kunmin had deep respect for this.

I stayed in Germany during this period, saw the work attitude of people here, and talked with many entrepreneurs. Zuo Kunmin already understood that he wanted to be as outstanding as German industry. We need to devote ourselves wholeheartedly to industry, continue to learn, conduct in-depth research, cultivate talents, and innovate technology. There is no other way.

Zuo Kunmin still spends half of his time and energy managing other industries. As we age, time, energy, and physical strength become increasingly scarce. Self-confidence is reduced, and it is very important to realize that life is impermanent, time is precious, and it is very important to do things that are in line with your intentions in a timely manner.

More should be given up. Real estate, hotels, tourism, funds, etc., all are given up. The acquired steel mills should mainly supply their own raw materials, produce product parts and components, and export part of their business to others. Only in this way can we achieve more comprehensive quality control.

Realizing this, Zuo Kunmin thought of Wang Luoxia again. Seven or eight years ago, she realized that this should be done and devoted herself to it. Yes, putting aside the shadow of desire, this is an obvious truth.

But, can it really be given up?

After hard work, the business is still generating good revenue. Suppliers, shareholders, and the board of directors are involved in various forces, and the livelihoods of many employees have changed as a result. Thinking of this, Zuo Kunmin felt deeply pressured again.

After all, it’s because I’m older and think more. Unlike when I was young, I had no worries and had the courage to make great sacrifices and gain without fear.

With these new ideas, actions must also be adjusted accordingly. It needs to be practiced and tested. You must return home first.

Before leaving the museum, I called to book a flight and stopped visiting the remaining museums. Take a taxi back to the hotel, pack your things, and take the nearest flight back home.
