Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Congratulations on "Genius" moving up one place and entering the sixth place on the list of new urban novels. One more chapter will be added.

I don't know why the number of collections and recommendation votes is so pitiful, but I dare not be lazy at all. In order to make everyone feel comfortable, I have no intention of splitting chapters. The free chapters are all more than 2,000 words. Three free chapters a day are equivalent to more than 7,000 words.

I hope everyone can see the hard work of the prodigal son, and give him free collection tickets and recommendation tickets. Thank you.

The conversation between the two sides started with the establishment of the securities industry in Shanghai. Although Comrade Deguo En had done a lot of research on this emerging thing, he was not sure whether it would work in a socialist country, how far it would go under the current system and economic conditions of the Republic, and what role it would play. He really wanted to hear the opinion of Feng Sizhe, who was the first to write an article in support of securities and stocks.

Feng Sizhe did not dare to be arrogant. When facing Comrade Deguoen, he was excited and respectful. Facing this question, he tried to suppress his excitement and gave a detailed account of the pros and cons of the securities industry to the development of the Republic based on his own understanding and the future generations.

This was Feng Sizhe's preparation. He knew that he might talk about this topic today, so he had made sufficient preparations for this. Now when he talked about it, he explained it very clearly. In order to make people understand better, he even cited a lot of examples, many of which were examples of the development of the securities industry in Western countries. Of course, there were also many statements summed up by later generations. In short, he told the story slowly by combining Chinese and Western cultures.

It took Feng Sizhe 40 minutes to explain his understanding in detail. During this process, Comrade Deguoen listened silently. Except for occasionally asking questions that he didn't understand, he just nodded, smiled, or thought. In short, he listened.

After Feng Sizhe finished speaking on this issue, Deguoen did not give him any time to rest and continued to raise the issue of the Gulf War. There was only one question: how did Feng Sizhe realize that the Gulf War would happen, why the United States would join the war, and even why he could determine that the war would end within two months.

Feng Sizhe was a little unable to follow Comrade De Guoen's fantastic questions, but fortunately he was well prepared in this regard. After a moment of hesitation, he got back into the state and reiterated the views of later generations on the Gulf War. Of course, he also used modern vocabulary, and he did not dare to add too many famous words from later generations.

It took Feng Sizhe another half an hour to answer this question. Comrade Deguoen should be satisfied after answering these two questions, but he just smiled and said, "Come on, you must be thirsty after talking for so long. Let's have some tea first, and then talk about why you dare to assert that the Soviet Union may disintegrate in the near future."

As soon as this question was raised, Feng Sizhe broke out in a cold sweat. He had not expected that even the old leader knew this question clearly. It seemed that the saying that there were no secrets among the top leaders was really true. Many secrets could not be hidden for too long in the eyes of the top leaders. Moreover, Duan Yunpeng, Qin Tian and others had to raise money and consult what the country lacked. This inevitably magnified the matter. In this case, Comrade De Guoen had no reason not to know.

By stretching out his hand to drink the tea, Feng Sizhe stabilized his mentality. By the time he put the tea back, he had a clear idea in his mind. Originally, all these things were in his mind, but he didn't expect the old leader to raise this question. Now that he couldn't avoid it, he would tell the truth. In the following time, Feng Sizhe talked about several major contradictions in the Soviet Union. There is the contradiction between the rigid economic system and the inherent requirements of contemporary scientific and technological development; the contradiction between serious bureaucracy and the vast number of cadres and the masses; the contradiction between the hegemonic foreign policy and the people. Then he talked about the reasons in the ideological line of the Soviet Union, as well as the reasons in the political line and organizational line.

These are not just random remarks, but Feng Sizhe had done in-depth research in this area when he was a social commentator in later generations, and they all came in handy at this moment.

When listening to Feng Sizhe's talk, Comrade Deguoen's eyes were full of deepness, and his facial expression was also much more solemn. "Well, you are right. The Soviet Union did have many problems. Whether or not there will be a disintegration event, we should learn from it. The country is based on the people. When the country's line is wrong and the interests of the majority of the people are not the first priority, when the phenomenon of privilege becomes a common phenomenon, when the social classes are clearly divided, and when the people live in dire straits, the country is in danger. If we do not improve the people's living standards, do not explore a socialist construction model with unique characteristics of our country, do not advocate a style of starting from reality and seeking truth from facts, and implement the principle of democratic centralism in organization. We do not understand that reform must be deeply rooted in our national conditions, and the success or failure of reform must be centered on the development of productivity, and measured by economic growth, the enhancement of comprehensive national strength and the improvement of people's living standards. If we do not guard against the "peaceful evolution" of socialism by Western countries, then our country is also in danger."

As soon as he opened his mouth, De Guoen made a profound clarification on the main subject of the matter. He was able to grasp the essence of the matter in such a short time. This made Feng Sizhe look at the old leader with admiration. He also understood that it was impossible for an old man to think so much in an instant. Obviously, he should have been paying attention to the Soviet issue for a long time, and he was able to raise it with Feng Sizhe today only because he believed that their views had many similarities.

"Yes, the leader is right. If the country wants to develop, it must carry out reform and opening up. This is imperative, but the fundamental purpose is to liberate productivity, develop productivity, and improve people's living standards. It is not like some developed countries in the West, who read from the book without considering their own actual problems. If they learn everything from others without thinking about their own advantages and disadvantages, the country will go astray, and it is not impossible that the party and the country will perish."

"Well said. We must take a socialist road with our own characteristics instead of blindly copying others." After hearing Feng Sizhe's words, De Guoen seemed a little excited. He suddenly stood up from the bench and waved his arm, as if he was commanding thousands of troops, giving people infinite power and courage.

The first time they met, Feng Sizhe left a very good impression on Deguo En, and what happened next was completely beyond Zhao Mingyuan's expectations, because the old leader actually asked to invite the two of them to dinner. Although the food here was not particularly rich, the meaning was completely different. Even the current core members could not enjoy this treatment, let alone other people.

Feng Sizhe accompanied the old leader for a simple lunch with a nervous mood. Fortunately, Comrade Deguoen did not say much during the meal, so Feng Sizhe was able to have a peaceful meal.

After the meal, the health doctor came to remind the old leader to take a lunch break. He waved to Zhao Mingyuan and Feng Sizhe reluctantly, meaning that he would also obey the organization's orders. When they parted, the old leader looked at Feng Sizhe in military uniform and said something meaningful, "Comrade Feng Sizhe is a bit of a waste of talent to be a soldier. There are too few people in the country who understand economics. People should be put to the place where they can best demonstrate their value."

Zhao Mingyuan immediately understood what he meant and quickly replied, "Joining the army is just a privilege, to train his body. Without a good body, how can he participate in revolutionary work? Haha, in fact, he had already chosen the path. He wanted to go to the grassroots and start from the grassroots."

"Well, that's right. Theory alone is not enough. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. It would be good to go down and train. Good steel needs to be polished more so that it can become a useful tool. Okay, you guys go back. I should rest." Deguoen nodded thoughtfully, then waved his hand to let Zhao Mingyuan and his grandson leave.
