Pan Guangcai said, "Our generation suffers from being uncultured. First, the conditions don't allow it. We don't even have the chance to sell everything we have. Second, we're short-sighted. We only know how to look down and stare at our bellies, wondering if we can fill our stomachs or not. Not everyone has your Uncle Erhe's ruthlessness.
I'm almost sixty years old. I've been through all kinds of ups and downs in my life. I've seen all kinds of people. Those who can endure hardship, those who can endure tiredness, those who are extremely lazy, those who are extremely smart, and those who are extraordinarily stupid. There are all kinds of people.
Your Uncle Erhe is unique. I'm a few years older than him, and we grew up together. I should know him very well, but now I realize that I don't know him at all.
In our Honghe Bridge, without your Uncle Erhe, we wouldn't have starved to death. But it's impossible for us to get to where we are today. "
He Zhou said, "You're all capable people. Without me, Uncle Erhe, you'd still be doing well."
When He Zhou and Pan Guangcai were together, they only talked about trivial matters. They rarely talked about such serious topics. Now that he was suddenly so serious, he couldn't explain why.
Pan Guangcai lit another cigarette, put it in his mouth, and took a puff. He continued, "I used to listen to stories on the radio. They talked about this Liu Bang, and I've always wondered how a small county like Pei County could produce so many heroes. Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Cao Can, Fan Kuai, Ying Bu, Peng Yue, Lu Wan, Xiahou Ying, Han Wangxin … Sigh, you can count them all.
They all followed Liu Bang to conquer the world. They killed pigs and dogs, and they all became famous.
After listening to the Romance of Sui and Tang, they fought with Li Shimin and ended up in the Lingyan Pavilion. Do you know who they are?
They're all the same people today.
When it came to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was raised by hundreds of families, his subordinates were people from Fengtai.
Later on he heard about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Heavenly Kings were all from Guangxi and Guiping. Then he heard about the Huai Army and the Xiang Army. Most of the high-ranking officers were from Hefei and Xiangtan.
After Yuan Shikai's death, things became even more exaggerated. They blatantly formed cliques based on region. There were Feng cliques, Zhi cliques, Wan cliques, and countless warlords of various sizes.
When it came to Old Jiang, most of his team members were from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong. Some of them were even from the same town.
I also listened to the history of China's revolution and the Long March several times. There were many General City, General County, and even General Village and General Village.
Tell me, did you comprehend anything? "
"Time makes the hero?"
He Zhou only knew that Pan Guangcai loved to listen to the radio. No matter when, the small radio would never leave his hand. After entering the era of smartphones, he changed the radio to a mobile phone. It was said that in order to satisfy his needs for content, he, who did not know much about the Internet, even invested in an online audio platform. If he did not invest, the company would go bankrupt, and he would not have any books to listen to.
Switch back to the radio and listen to the double cannon of entertainment?
He could not accept it.
Not only were there fewer and fewer stories on the radio, but the broadcast time was also fixed. He had to wait every day. Wherever there was an audio platform, he could listen to it whenever he wanted.
He could listen to it however he wanted.
The most important thing was that he could throw in money and get the host to record the book according to his requirements. In the past, this was unthinkable.
"Something like that." Pan Guangcai raised his cup and took a sip. "Most people's IQ and ability are sometimes not much different. There are many people smarter than me. How can someone like me, who did not even finish primary school, compare to others?
There is no way!
However, I am different from others. I seized the opportunity. Most importantly, I followed the right people and did the right things.
So, what is a talent?
A talent cultivated and placed in the right position is a talent. Once placed in the wrong position, it will slowly become a mediocre talent. Not all gold will shine. "
"The world is vast and mighty. Those who go with it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Individual efforts are not worth mentioning in the torrent of history." He Zhou finally understood a little.
"You know Li Si, right?" Pan Guangcai continued to ask.
"The Prime Minister of the Qin Kingdom?" He Zhou asked uncertainly.
Pan Guangcai said slowly, "Li Si used to be in charge of the granary. One day, when he went to the toilet, he found that the mice in the toilet were really pitiful. They were skinny, but the mice in the granary lived very comfortably. They lived in big houses, had shelter from the wind and rain, and had an endless supply of food every day. All of them ate until their faces were covered in grease and they were overweight.
From this, he understood that the environment is very important to a person's growth. The kind of life a person leads, first of all, does not depend on one's ability, but on the environment. "
"A good bird chooses a tree to nest in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve." He Zhou smiled and said, "Only by working hard in a good environment can one fight for a position. If the environment is not right, no matter how hard one works, it will be useless."
"Yes, this is what Gui Guzi said. It's a lot of knowledge. There aren't many fresh things under the sun. A lot of things have happened over and over again, and a lot of principles have been said over and over again. There's no harm in listening and reading more." Pan Guangcai picked up a cornbread and put some salted vegetables in it. As he ate, he said, "Anyway, I just have one thing to say. People should not be satisfied with their current situation. Once they say things like 'contentment brings happiness' to themselves, I think it's almost over."
"You must find a way to change your situation and work hard to fight for a position. If there is an opportunity, you must seize it." Pan Guangcai added at the end.
He thought about his life, and indeed, that was what he had done in his life.
He was not willing to stay in the village. He firmly believed in every word that Li Lao Er said. He laughed loudly and walked out of the door. Although he did not take as big a step as Li Lao Er, he followed him closely.
"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle." He Zhou raised his cup high.
At this moment, he finally understood what his mother meant when she asked him to take over as the chairman of the board of directors.
"In terms of ability and standard, He Zhou is not as good as you guys. He is not the best, but he is better than you guys in one aspect. He is my son."
At that time, when he heard these words, he blushed. He always felt that his mother was overbearing and unreasonable. Wouldn't her words hurt the hearts of the management?
Moreover, where would he put his face?
Because of this, he made a fuss for a few days.
Now, combined with Pan Guangcai's words, he realized that it was not a big deal to leave his mother's control and make a career. The key was to be able to leave the circle of Hong Heqiao and Li Zhuang and make a career. That was the real big deal.
However, without the support of Li Zhuang and others, he was nothing outside the family.
