Chapter 180: Xunzi
"People, when there is fear, when there is vision, discernment, must recognize the gains and losses of things!" But I saw old Yamazaki stand up, looked down at his son and said in a deep voice: "Let you read more books, what are you doing?!" Have you even forgotten the martial saint's art of war?! ”
Yamazaki didn't dare to refute, and silently lowered his head and listened to his father's reprimand. And Lao Yamazaki looked at his son and sighed helplessly: "Don't think that the martial saint's art of war is outdated, in fact, the classics will not be outdated at any time!" ”
"Your failure this time is a manifestation of not understanding." With no one else present, old Yamazaki began to persuade his son: "You have no fear, you are just attracted by immediate benefits. ”
"You don't have the eyesight to realize at all, this man who has made you fail over and over again. He is worth more as a friend than as an adversary! You don't have the discernment to know what kind of person your enemy is. ”
But the old Yamazaki stood up slowly, looked at his son and said in a deep voice: "You don't recognize the gains and losses of things at all, how can you not fail if you are so reckless and absurd?!" Not being uprooted, which is already good luck! ”
What the old Yamazaki is talking about is Miyamoto Musashi, who is revered as a "martial saint" in Japan. This man has a very high position in Japanese history, and his art of war and swordsmanship are highly respected.
His idea of the art of war, "people should have fear, should have vision, discernment, and must recognize the gains and losses of things", which has a very high status in the minds of Japanese soldiers in World War II.
Of course, if you look at the core idea of his art of war from another angle, it can also be seen as: harming others is not beneficial to oneself. Winning depends on hidden weapons. If you can't win, slip away.
At least that's what Miyamoto Musashi himself did. When Miyamoto Musashi was a little famous, he thought about challenging the master to make a name for himself. And at that time there were two famous masters in Japan. It's all old guys.
One is the first Marume Torusai Changhui, who is known as the first swordsmanship in Kyushu, and the other is the Treasure Academy's spearmanship ancestor Treasure Academy's Fayin Yinrong. At that time, both of them were seventy or eighty years old, and they had already withdrawn from the rivers and lakes to enjoy reclamation.
Musashi first found the treasure temple Yinei at that time, and the old guy was hoeing at that time. Musashi watched the old man grab the hoe and hoe the ground for a long time, and probably felt that the old guy was a master and couldn't do it himself. So I didn't dare to say anything about the challenge, and ran away without saying a word.
Later, I thought it was a shame, and this thing went to find Marumme Toru Sai Nagahui. The old guy was hoeing the ground at the time. Musashi probably felt that he couldn't say it if he didn't open his mouth this time, so he didn't care about 3721 and directly opened his mouth to challenge.
Marumme Teru Sai Nagae didn't care, I heard that Musashi was going to challenge. The old guy snorted. Then he put down his hoe and drew his knife. Musashi saw that the old man had really drawn his sword, and the posture of drawing the knife seemed to be not old. So he ran away again without a fight.
Of course, according to Miyamoto Musashi's own "Book of Gowa", he "went to Kyoto at the age of 21 and fought against the art of war from all over the world. Nothing happens". It's actually normal to think about it. If you pick soft persimmons and pinch them, you will definitely be able to do it.
"What my father taught me was that I was too rash and reckless...... Yamazaki bowed deeply to his father and said softly: "Please also ask my father to punish, unfilial sons dare not complain......"
Old Yamazaki stood up, walked up to Yamazaki on crutches and looked at him: "Do you know why I came secretly this time?!" Do you know why I left everyone apart and left you alone?! Except for a few people here, no one knew that I had come to Qiong Island. ”
"My son doesn't know ......," Yamazaki replied honestly to his father. And the old Yamazaki pressed down on his hand and motioned for his son to sit down. Yamazaki saw this. Frightened, he sat down in his chair and looked at his father.
Old Yamazaki is old after all, and he is already in his sixties. Now he is not as energetic as he used to be. It's just that after talking and walking around twice, my body is already a little unbearable.
After letting his son sit down, old Yamazaki himself sat down. At this time, he began to miss when he was young, and he could do the work of three people by himself. You can even run your own business after your job is over.
But now, his body is completely gone. He didn't know how long he would live, but he knew he was going to hand over the company to his son. Otherwise, who else could he hand it over?!
"Yamazaki, Wan Hong's qiē still has to be handed over to you in the end. You need to carry Wanhong. But I saw the old Yamazaki facing his son, and said in his heart: "But now you still lack some fire......
Old Yamazaki said, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "At that time, we almost built Wanhong in a ruin. You were young then, so you didn't know much about it, even though you saw me go out early and come home late......"
"In the operation of business, you need to look at profits. But it's not just about profits. It is true that profit is the benchmark of a qiē business behavior. Unprofitable business activities are tantamount to crimes. ”
Yamazaki was silent, but saw him stand up and step aside to make his father a cup of tea and bring it back. There are no electrical appliances for boiling water in this meeting room, only a kettle.
In this day and age, it's good to have this. The water in the kettle was not cold, and the tea was smoky. The tea was placed in front of old Yamazaki, who continued to be silent.
Picking up the tea that his son had brewed for himself, old Yamazaki smiled. In any case, I am still very satisfied with my son's respect for old Yamazaki. Pick up the tea, gently blow the tea leaves, and take a sip.
"Yamazaki...... Don't let the benefits fool your eyes. People, don't be greedy. Especially in business, once you have greed, it means that you are not far from being ruined......"
Lao Yamazaki held the ceramic tea jar in his hand and sighed: "Whether it is a person, a businessman, or even a politician. From individuals to countries. The same is true. No one can take all the benefits......"
"It's not impossible that you're trying to get a good idea for yourself. But you need to know that if you do so, you will be wary. And the experience of you once deceived him will be remembered by him. Are you sure you won't be working with him in the future?! Or are you sure that he can't find any other partners besides you?! ”
Old Yamazaki put down the teacup, looked at his son and said in a deep voice: "Many people understand this truth. But in the face of interests, they will be directly confused. Forget this truth for the time being. ”
"So, we were successful. Your father and I are not much better than the others. It's just that when I'm faced with huge benefits, I don't think about how much benefit I can get by swallowing it. It's about how to get the people I work with to share those benefits. ”
Old Yamazaki looked into his son's eyes and said word by word: "So, I have a lot of friends. Even if my enemies don't agree with me, they will admit it, and I will not let my collaborators suffer. As long as I agree with the collaborators, I will let them distribute the benefits they deserve. Even if this collaborator doesn't work with me again next time......"
Yamazaki was silent. He thought of the old people in the company, their loyalty to their father. I thought of the respectful tone with which my father's former rivals spoke of my father.
Even the presidents of Japanese companies, whose assets and capital are several times or dozens of times larger than Wanhong, will bring honorifics when talking about their fathers. This may be the biggest property that my father has left to Wanhong in the past few decades.
The resources that Yamazaki is able to mobilize now come largely from the prestige accumulated by the old Yamazaki. But if Yamazaki doesn't make his own achievements, these reputations will eventually dissipate one day.
"You're in too much of a hurry...... old Yamazaki said to his son, "You need to calm down and honestly think about what you should do, instead of affecting your judgment for other external things." ”
Old Yamazaki said, standing up. walked outside the door and asked someone to bring a briefcase, and put several documents in front of Yamazaki: "These are the information about Mr. Liang Sanping that I got after investigating through Guò. You can take a look at ...... first."
As he spoke, Lao Yamazaki smiled and said, "In the past, I always took you with me in Japanese business activities. Perhaps, you didn't learn enough at those times. Then this time, I'll take you to teach it again......"
"You have to work hard to learn! Yamazaki. Wanhong Co., Ltd. is not just my hard work. It's also the hard work of those employees. You can't let it be in your hands and lose......"
Liang Sanping didn't know at this time that he had asked someone to target him again. At this time, he was keeping an eye on the picking of vegetables. The bell rings on New Year's Day, and it's the season of the year when vegetables begin to be exported.
This year's task is heavier than in the past, and Liang Sanping not only needs to keep an eye on An Tianmin's company's own vegetable base. It is even more necessary to keep an eye on the large number of cooperative farmers in the local area.
Trucks drove to Baoting to help start harvesting vegetables. It was packed overnight and shipped to the port of Lucheng, where the emperor's ship was waiting, and once it was full, it would leave for Japan.
The usually idle Japanese laboratory also began to be busy at this time, and they needed to check dozens or even hundreds of samples a day. Only after passing the test can the vegetables be shipped to the port.
Not only them, but also the inspectors sent by the two hospitals for training have also begun to get busy.
"There are still too few cars, and more importantly, the road. There is simply no way for these roads to support our traffic! Liang Sanping wiped his sweat and smiled bitterly at Xia Zhendong: "If the road is not repaired, I estimate that it will be difficult for us to expand production......
"Who's to say it isn't?! But now to build roads, where do we get the money ourselves?! Xia Zhendong was also very dissatisfied with this: "If this road is not repaired, I estimate that the car will be able to block all the roads next year......" (to be continued......
