These pencils and erasers were picked out by the salesperson from the counter. The pens were the best "Zhonghua Brand" pencils. The pencils were colorful, with a total of four seals, each sealing ten seals. The erasers were four red artistic erasers, which were wrapped in a kind of earth-colored paper at that time.

After the old man bought it, he gave it to Wang Lin's son Wang Wen.

He said to the salesperson again: "I'll buy another one and I'll use it for my grandson at home."

The salesperson quickly said yes, picked some more, put the wrapped pencil and eraser into a plastic bag and handed it to the old man.

The old man smiled and said, "Thank you."

He touched his pocket and paid, but there was no money in his pocket.

His daughter handed him 10 yuan.

The old man smiled and said, "I haven't spent money in person for decades."

Everyone smiled kindly.

The old man left the stationery counter with a plastic bag containing a pencil and an eraser.

Wang Lin accompanied the old man to visit the entire Aixu Plaza.

"I feel relieved about the changes in Shencheng." The old man said, "Especially the establishment of Aixu Plaza is of milestone significance to Shencheng. Your Aixu Group has developed well! Comrade Wang Lin, you have arranged more than 230,000 jobs for more than 230,000 people, and you have made an indelible contribution! If there is a Wang Lin in every industry, then our industry, agriculture, and finance can all develop!"

Wang Lin said modestly that I have also caught up with a good era of reform and opening up.

The old man said: "Shencheng is our trump card, and it is a shortcut to build Shencheng!"

Yes, if the Yangtze River is a giant dragon that stretches for thousands of miles and is waiting to fly, then Shencheng, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, is the leader.

From his unique perspective, the old man saw the advantages of Shanghai's opening up, geographical location, transportation conditions, talent resources, natural resources, historical accumulation, connections and experiences with international exchanges, etc.

On the chessboard of my country's opening up to the outside world, the old man regards Pudong's development and opening up as an important chess piece.

Wang Lin invited the elderly to visit the headquarters of Aixu Group.

The old man and his group followed Wang Lin in the elevator and came to Wang Lin's office.

Wang Lin arranged for the secretary to make tea for everyone.

The old man sat on the sofa and said, "We must analyze the problems with a macro-strategic perspective and take specific measures. We must seize the opportunity and make decisions in a timely manner. For example, if we seize the opportunity, we must be a big measure. Shencheng can no longer be a defender. We must be the leader of the Yangtze River Delta and the Yangtze River Basin, and we must become the vanguard of reform and opening up and the pioneer of innovation and development! We must seize the development and opening up of Pudong, and do not waver until it is completed. Wang Lin, you can take a bigger step. Seize the opportunity and grow into a large world enterprise. You must have the confidence and ability to compete with the top 500 foreign companies!"

Wang Lin repeatedly claimed that I was taking big enough, and if I ran too fast, I was afraid that I would accidentally fall.

The old man said: "Don't be afraid of falling. The most special meaning of reform is that there are often no preset abstract goals, and there is no road full of flowers. Reforms are forced by reality. Although there are no beautiful words, no earth-shaking and exciting scenes, it actually solves the problem. If you fall, get up and walk."

Wang Lin's body suddenly became a few taels lighter and said heroically: "With your encouragement, I will continue to work hard and be pioneering."

The old man said: "Many people in Shencheng have a catchphrase saying that Shencheng is not good. I want to tell you that the road is made and created. There is no problem that can stump reformers - as long as you move forward with all your heart. Wang Lin, you must be this pioneer, and you must set up confidence and example for the reform and opening up of the people of Shencheng!"

"Yes, I've been working hard." Wang Lin thought to himself, the old man suddenly came to Aixu Group and said so many more words. Is there any deep meaning?

The old man said: "Some people say that Wang Lin is a rich man and lives a capitalist life!"

After hearing this, Wang Lin suddenly became frightened!

I'll make it!

Who sued me?

All sued the old man?

Isn't this killing people?

I just don’t know what the person has sued?

How much of Wang Lin’s privacy does the complainant know?

In this era, it would be too easy if someone really wanted to make his name.

Metaphysical problems are the most fatal.

Wang Lin said: "Grandpa, I am a rich man, but I am not unkind to be rich. The money I earn is earned through my own efforts, and I am also working hard to give back to the society."

The old man smiled slightly and patted Wang Lin's arm: "I have heard stories about two poor and rich people. I wonder if you are interested in listening?"

Wang Lin hurriedly said, "I hope to hear the details."

The old man told two stories.

The first story is about a poor man whose family is very poor. When a rich man sees him pitiful, he becomes kind-hearted and wants to help him get rich. The rich man gives him a cow and tells him to open up the land well. When spring comes, sow seeds and autumn can stay away from the word "poverty". The poor man starts to struggle with hope. But in a few days, the cows have to eat grass and people have to eat, and life is harder than in the past.

The poor people thought that it would be better to sell the cows, buy a few sheep, kill one to eat first, and give it to the rest, and sell it to make more money when they grow up. The poor people's plan is fulfilled, but after eating one sheep, the lamb was not born for a long time, and life is difficult, so they can't help but eat another one.

The poor think that this is amazing, it is better to sell the sheep and buy it into a chicken. The chicken should lay eggs faster, and the eggs can make money immediately and life can improve immediately. The poor people's plan is fulfilled again, but the life has not changed, and it is difficult again, and they can't help but kill the chicken. Finally, when only one chicken is left, the poor's ideals completely collapse.

He thought that there was no hope of getting rich, so it would be better to sell the chicken, make a pot of wine, eat three cups, and have no worries about everything. Soon spring came, and the kind-hearted rich man sent seeds with great enthusiasm, and found that the poor were drinking with pickles, and the cows had long disappeared, and the house was still poor.

The rich turned around and left. The poor are still poor.

Many poor people have dreams, even opportunities, and actions, but it is difficult to persevere to the end.

After telling this story, the old man pointed at Wang Lin and said to the people around him: "Wang Lin is the rich man, he is the one who can hold on to something to the end. So he can succeed and he can become a rich man."

Everyone nodded and said yes.

The old man said: "A few years ago, Treasury bonds were just released from trading, and there were many people in this industry, but why did only Wang Lin make his wealth bigger with this business?"

Everyone fell into deep thought.

The old man told the second story.

A poor man cried bitterly because he couldn't eat enough and was not warm. He told God the hardships of life. He was so tired every day that he could not earn much money. After crying for a long time, he suddenly began to complain: "This society is too unfair. Why are the rich leisurely and comfortable every day, while the poor should suffer and suffer every day?"

God smiled and asked, "How do you feel fair?"

The poor man hurriedly said, "We must make the rich as poor and do the same job as me. If the rich are still rich, I will no longer complain."

God promised him that he turned a rich man into a man as poor as the poor. He also gave them a mountain. The coal dug out every day could be sold for food on the same day, and the coal mountain would be dug within one month.

The poor are digging like the rich. The poor are used to doing rough work. The work of digging coal is a piece of cake for him. Soon he dug a truck of coal and sold it at the market. He used all of this money to buy delicious food and take it home to satisfy his wife and children. The rich have never done heavy work, and they are tired and sweating profusely. In the evening, he barely dug a truck and pulled it to the market to sell it. He only bought a few hard steamed buns in the exchange, and the rest of the money was left.

The next day, the poor got up early and started digging coal, but the rich went to the market. After a while, two poor people were brought back. These two poor people were big and round. They started digging coal for the rich without saying a word. The rich stood aside and pointedly supervised, and dug out several trucks of coal in just one morning. The rich sold the coal and hired a few coolies. After a day, he not only paid the workers to start wages, but the remaining money was several times more than the poor.

A month passed quickly, and the poor only dug a cent of the coal mountain. The money they earned every day bought delicious food and drinks, and there was basically no surplus. The rich had already directed the workers to dig up all the coal mountain and made a lot of money. He invested the money and started a business, and soon became a rich man again.

The result is conceivable, and the poor will never complain again.

The old man said: "Einstein once said that changing a person's fixed thinking is more difficult than splitting atom. This shows how solid a person's thinking pattern is, just like what we often say, is easy to change, but difficult to change nature. Because people's thinking style is too solid, and they always use fixed thinking to consider problems, and they often cannot see the answer on the other side."

After listening to these two stories, Wang Lin's heart finally fell into pieces.

Although the old man did not comment on other people's reports positively, he expressed his opinions on handling them through these two stories.

"Everyone's opportunities are equal. Wang Lin came from a working family and his chances are not more than others. His starting line is not higher than others, but he has his own rich thinking and can get rich. This is something that many people cannot compare with. In our country, there are not too many rich people like Wang Lin, but too few!"

The old man said earnestly: "I hope there will be more people like Wang Lin in China. It is best for everyone to be Wang Lin, and everyone can become rich and live a wealthy life. Then, our country will be truly prosperous and strong!"

Wang Lin was moved to tears.

He really didn't expect that the old man cared for and understood himself so much!

The most rare thing between people is to be understood.

Wang Lin lived a life of a rich man, which is a good thing. It is not a question of whether it is a capital or a society. It is not a problem! If anyone can arrange 230,000 people to find jobs, he can also live a life of a rich man. As long as he has this ability, it is not a problem! Rich people abroad drive private jets and have private yachts. Their lives will be richer than Wang Lin. I hope that one day, Wang Lin can live such a life.

This sentence sets the tone for Wang Lin’s identity as a rich man.

Many people at the scene heard what the old man said, and they naturally had more knowledge about Wang Lin.

Every time the old man came to Shencheng, he would inspect Wang Lin's factory or summon Wang Lin.

The meaning here is profound.

The old man had no friendship with Wang Lin, and there was no need for him to protect Wang Lin.

But Wang Lin is a banner of reform and opening up in Shanghai!

Wang Lin was the first person to become a millionaire by doing the treasury bill business.

Wang Lin is also the first model to successfully cooperate with private enterprises and state-owned enterprises and arrange employment for more than 200,000 people.

If such a person falls, the reform and opening up of Shencheng will usher in accusations and doubts, and the road to reform will become more tortuous.

All Wang Lin’s actions are in response to policies and follow them.

If you follow the policy, you can make a fortune and become rich. This should be a good thing, and you cannot be the target of attack.

Wang Lin’s ability to succeed is his ability. His ability to live a rich life as a commoner proves that the road to reform is correct!

The development of Shencheng has affected the development of the country and the hearts of the elderly.

The old man did this not to protect Wanglin, but to ensure the results of the reform and opening up!

Of course, Wang Lin also understood this level.

No matter what, I am finally safe.

In recent years, he has definitely offended many people because of his rapid development.

The slander and criticism of him must have never stopped.

But there are some things that he doesn't know.

After the old man left, Wang Lin could not calm down for a long time.
To be continued...
