Chapter 1584 Future Vision

Liu Rufeng stared at Lu Chengwen: "Are you willing to help the Tianwu people?"

"of course."

"why?"

Lu Chengwen said: "I don't know why you... have a feud with the ancient martial arts world of China, and I don't care too much. I even think that if you are willing to stop the war, it will actually be beneficial to both sides. In my opinion, the Tianwu people and our ancient martial arts world are the same thing. It's just... two names for the same creature. And..."

Lu Chengwen smiled bitterly: "I think the Tianwu people are much more genuine than our group."

Liu Rufeng remained silent, just staring at Lu Chengwen, seeming a little surprised by Lu Chengwen's evaluation of the Tianwu people.

Lu Chengwen shrugged: "We have a lot of people here, so there are a lot of bastards. And... everyone is more concerned about interests, unlike you, who are more concerned about trust. If you want to make friends, the Tianwu people are the best choice."

Liu Rufeng said: "But the Tianwu tribe is backward."

"We will catch up very quickly." Lu Chengwen said, "But you have to think clearly. Once the changes you mentioned come, the Tianwu clan... will also be affected."

"What shock?"

Lu Chengwen looked at Liu Rufeng and smiled. "The impact on management, the impact on ideology, the impact on people's thoughts and living habits, the impact of changes in social structure, the impact of the beginning of inequality between the rich and the poor, the impact of conflicts between managers and the people... there are many, many more."

Liu Ruyan looked at Lu Chengwen: "We just want to make money and live a good life, why is it so troublesome?"

"Oh my god, Xiao Yanyan, living a good life comes at a high price! Do you know how difficult it is for such a large group to live a good life? It requires a leader with extremely high wisdom, ability, vision, skill, long-term vision, and planning ability. You don't think that if we make money, everyone will be happy, everyone will have a school to go to, everyone will have money to spend, everyone will have martial arts to practice, and then the Tianwu tribe can still maintain its simple folk customs and the society will not be torn apart, right?"

Liu Ruyan was stunned and looked at Liu Rufeng.

Liu Rufeng was obviously shocked by Lu Chengwen's remarks.

"Really...will it be that much trouble?"

Lu Chengwen looked at her: "What is the first step to make money?"

"invest?"

Lu Chengwen shook his head: "To unify the internal thinking, the power structure must be stable! To ensure centralization, we can't just let Zhang San have the final say, Li Si has to listen to what Zhao Wu has no business saying, and Wang Liu wants to add a few words..."

"Shouldn't we work together as a group?"

"It is about pooling resources and listening to opinions from many sides. But the authority of the decision-maker must be very strong and stable!"

Lu Chengwen said: "Then, everyone should gather their consciousness and unify their thoughts. They should know exactly what to do next and what everyone's division of labor is. And everyone should know that the next era is an era of change. Good and bad things will come in droves. Be prepared. There will be many unexpected problems. When we are shocked and encounter unexpected results, we must be able to keep calm and remain steadfast... reform and opening up."

Liu Rufeng frowned.

She thought it was simple.

She still had a tribal mindset, and what Lu Chengwen said was too shocking to her.

"Specifically, what impact will it have?"

Lu Chengwen said: "It's very simple. When the time comes, there will be a group of people in the Tianwu clan who will take advantage of the trend and go straight to the sky. They will make a lot of money. They will live in luxury houses, drive luxury cars, marry several beautiful wives and show off in the streets."

Liu Ruyan said: "Whoever dares to do that, I will kill him!"

Lu Chengwen asked: "So do you want to make money or not!?"

Liu Ruyan said: "That can't be... like you said..."

Lu Chengwen looked at the two sisters and said, "This is human nature! Anyone who makes money will become arrogant, think they are extremely capable, think they are the children of luck, and pursue a superior life than others. You have to encourage them! Use them! Even protect them! Let them continue to make more money, then take their money out, continue to invest, continue to develop, create more social value and jobs..."

Liu Rufeng said: "Just like... you."

"Yes." Lu Chengwen said, "Our mayor is a man of great talent and vision. The people of the city know that I am a profiteer and a bad guy, but he still invited me to the meeting and treated me as a brother. Why? To build houses for the common people, he doesn't have enough money of his own, so he has to use mine! He even asked me to help him get other entrepreneurs to pay for him! We make a lot of money, he makes political achievements, and the common people can get houses."

Liu Ruyan lowered her head and thought for a long time, then shook her head gently: "It seems that our Tianwu clan is not ready to face such a strong impact. If it really becomes... everyone just wants to make money..."

"What's the difference with Jianghu? It's like everyone wants to become stronger, and if everyone joins together, there will be a group of strong people. Don't be afraid of change, don't be afraid of competition. It's like a big river. If you always think it will wash away houses and farmland, it's better to manage it well so that it can irrigate farmland and nourish the local soil and water."

Liu Ruyan: "If... the power is centralized, the thoughts are unified, and the people are united, what should we do in the second part?"

Lu Chengwen began to gesture with his fingers: "The second step is diplomacy. You have to stop the war with us. Negotiate and come up with a result that both sides can accept and feel is good. Sign a ceasefire agreement. You can't make money while fighting."

"The third step is to keep up with domestic affairs, laws and regulations to prevent people from taking advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters, engage in speculation and disrupt the market."

"The fourth step is to make money. You must quickly earn your first pot of gold, and then support some local people with business acumen, so that they can become rich first, drive others, drive the entire ethnic group, and start to change."

"The fifth is transportation! You must build roads. Once the roads are open, you can conduct normal business and trade with the ancient martial arts world and the secular world. Many people from outside will come to your territory to make money. Negotiate good terms with them and don't let them take all the money. Try to let them boost the local economy, leverage, and expand domestic demand..."

"The sixth is to promote education..."

"The seventh is to start large-scale construction, building bridges, roads, tunnels, subways, and high-rise buildings..."

"The eighth is to build communications facilities and achieve comprehensive coverage..."

"The ninth is..."

Lu Chengwen talked incessantly and eloquently all night long.

He was not just showing off his eloquence; he was thinking while he was speaking.

How to make a relatively closed, ancient and backward tribal group embrace modernization, integrate into modernization, and enjoy modern life, employment, medical care, education, transportation, communications... and so on.

Liu Rufeng and Liu Ruyan, the two sisters were stunned by what they heard.

Lu Chengwen was so absorbed in what he said that he didn't notice at all that Liu Ruyan was looking at him with the same infatuation as if she were looking at a superstar.

Lu Chengwen talked for a long time and suddenly stopped:

"Did I... say too much?"
