118 Mr. Lee's classic speech

"Alright, alright, now let me continue!"

At this point, Nicole frowned and asked everyone to turn their attention back.

"Just now, Cheng Dong was right, if Cheng Dong wants to open a company and become a railway tycoon, it is basically the procedure you just said, it seems that you have understood what I said."

Nicole raised her hand again to signal everyone not to interject, and continued to explain:

"By the way, I would like to add at the end, Chengdong, don't forget, you should also include the tax revenue to the state in the operating costs, everyone, when you cross and develop, when the conditions are ripe, you should establish a ** to maintain public order ......"

......

Nicole's speech ended quickly, without dragging its feet, which was very different from the progress of previous meetings.

The first reason is that Nicole's speech is more outlined, and the audience is also very attentive and attentive, everyone only needs to listen to the content of Nicole's speech, you will understand the weight of every sentence in it, so there are many fewer interruptions than in previous plenary meetings.

And to the surprise of all the participants, when Nicole talked about the issues of property ownership, shareholding system, and shareholders' rights, there was no controversy about ownership, and it seems that no one is a fool when it comes to personal interests.

Even a group of high school students who have not yet stepped into society, even this group of teenagers who have been educated to think reflexively, do not have the idea of confiscating these wealth at this moment.

After all, all of you here are theoretically already owners of huge assets, and these people are no longer proletarians, and of course they do not want the wealth that belongs to them and their children and grandchildren to become the so-called "public".

Soon, under the unanimous suggestion of Sun Lao, Zhao Xihe, Lao Wang, Lao Zhu, Ba Fengtian, Gu Jin, Wang Xue and several others, all the men, women and children present at the meeting passed a resolution on the spot:

Once again, lawyer Li Junming was entrusted to draft a charter on the traverser property foundation, the essence of which is Nicole's speech just now and Xia Xiaoou's supplementary opinion just now. Li Junming happily accepted the commission, and sat down next to Xia Da Beauty on the spot, and asked the girl to discuss the specific charter of the foundation with him. Immediately afterwards, Li Junming said on the spot that the "Red Chamber Convention" that everyone entrusted him to do a while ago had been formalized, and he had also drafted a programmatic explanatory text for this convention.

At the end of the meeting, lawyer Li Junming made an explanatory speech on the drafting of the Foundation's charter and the previous "Red Chamber Convention" at the request of everyone.

For this reason, Mr. Lee once again gave a long speech at the conference, and although it was almost noon, the audience hardly heard the drowsiness.

A few years later, Li Junming's speech on the drafting and core ideas of the Red Chamber Convention was compiled into an official document and placed in the National Archives of the Commonwealth of Australia, and became a popular historical document, which will be passed down to future generations.

The following is an excerpt from Li Junming's speech:

“...... So...... Then, in order to adapt to that era, we must build a society based on the protection of our private property.

After all, the historical development of the world today has proved that even if history has developed to the present, the protection of private property rights is the norm pursued by the vast majority of countries, and there is no need to argue, because we are all ordinary people, and it is impossible to transcend the times and the stage of historical development.

In the new world that we are about to cross, in terms of the various advantageous resources at our disposal, each of you is expected to become a member of the high society of that new world, so we certainly do not want our property to end up being turned into a public one. Therefore, in the design of the system, we must always be vigilant against any attempt to turn private into public, and I believe that all of you here understand this, because you are no longer proletarians. Obviously, without a decent, basic institutional guarantee, we are afraid that the door to disaster will be opened!

After all, in this world, there are many people who hope that they can share the wealth of society with others without having to work hard, and even more, people are naïve to think that social harmony can be achieved by violently depriving others of their property.

Tragically, after violently depriving others of their private property, they themselves end up as slaves with nothing and become part of an army of slave laborers. The reason is simple: since you have opened the door to the catastrophe of using violence rather than contract and the rule of law to deprive others of their property ownership, then others can treat your private property and that of your children and grandchildren in the same way...... (Because the compiler did not want to irrigate the water, the following 3,000 words of Li Junming's speech are omitted.) )

…… But don't forget, there is no such thing as a feast, and historical experience has proven that in a society full of differential treatment and hierarchy, the ultimate destination of wealth is the owner of the autocratic imperial power!

Therefore, if we do not establish a fundamental system with consensus, then our small society of 93 people will be unstable. Excuse me, who among us can guarantee eternal unity and harmony? Forever a piece of subway board? Perhaps, our generation can barely do it, but what about the next generation? What will our children and grandchildren do? At that time, which of you plans to ascend the throne and become emperor?! Or which of you is going to plan to enthrone your children and grandchildren as emperor?! How many scenes of time-traveling version of the large-scale palace fighting drama do you plan to have your children and grandchildren stage? It's scary to think about it, everyone! (The above two paragraphs do not appear in the text of the National Archives, but appear in the "Diary of Zhu Beiguo", editor's note.) )

Therefore, at least myself, I hope to live in a social system that emphasizes the equality of all people and respects private property rights, and I hope that my children and grandchildren will also live in such a social system! For, only in such a society, although wealth may be unequal, in terms of property rights themselves, they are all equal.

At the very least, everyone's private property---- no matter how small, will be treated with a minimum of respect. Under such an institutional arrangement, respect for basic human rights will naturally be extended, and then it will evolve to the equality of personality, and the whole society will gradually evolve into a harmonious society with contract and equality as the link and cornerstone! Therefore, in such a relatively free society, the opportunity to make a fortune will be more or less open to the powerless but hardworking and intelligent people.

In a society where power and hierarchical status dominate the world, the channels for obtaining social wealth are monopolized by powerful people large and small, and the opportunity to make a fortune is never open to anyone other than their own family, even if their own family is a stupid pig! Excuse me, in such a society, where is the happiness of our children and grandchildren? What are the prospects...... (The following is again omitted 3,000 words, editor's note.) )

…… In a word, we must always be rational and face the reality, perhaps, although our property system is not perfect, it is relatively open to all people in terms of creating and obtaining social wealth. We are not fairy saviors, and we cannot create a utopian perfect society for ourselves and our descendants, so let's create a flawed, but harmonious private society.

Because, even if we end up building an imperfect world in which only those who have money can gain power, it is much fairer than a world in which only those who have power can have money! ”
