Chapter 18: Planning for Nanyang (3)

Call loudly: Please pay attention! Please click! Please collect! Please recommend!

...

"Since there has been such a history, why don't Mr. Chen publicly make his past grievances public, so as to make the Chinese people clear their innocence?" Zhao Zhenzhong suggested.

Chen Jiongming sighed and said sadly: "The political disagreement with Sun Yat-sen in the end resulted in wars, which caused the people of Fujian and Guangdong to suffer a lot. Although the two parties in China are fighting with each other with endless force, the new warlords in the Kuomintang are fighting each other, but these Sun Yat-sen disciples and grandchildren are still criticizing me, Chen. Why should I jump out and add chaos? Leave the right and wrong and grievances in this for history and future generations to comment on."

"Besides, the Nanyang founding plan proposed by Brother Zhao and others is a major event of great significance to overseas Chinese, mainland China's homeland, and even the entire Chinese nation. Brother Zhao is worthy of it. Not only does he entrust this plan to the Zhigong Party, but he also helps him to become the Prime Minister of the Zhigong Party. How can he devote his energy to these personal matters regardless of the righteousness?"

"Mr. Chen's attitude of not considering personal honor and disgrace is indeed admirable, but I do not agree with Mr. Chen's approach." Zhao Zhenzhong shook his head and said, "The founding of the country in Nanyang is indeed a significant event, and it does require a lot of energy to be invested, but the history and past of Mr. Chen also need to be paid attention to. It should be noted that this is not Mr. Chen's own business."

"Mr. Chen is now the Prime Minister of the Zhigong Party, and represents the entire party. It can be said that Mr. Chen's personal honor and disgrace are closely related to the Zhigong Party. Mr. Chen can ignore those slanderous words, which is Mr. Chen's generousness. But if those false words are allowed to spread, where will the Zhigong Party be placed?"

"Besides, although history is fair, history is written by people, and it is often written by victors. If Mr. Chen does not explain the past, how can descendants of a few years know the right and wrong of the past? To give a very realistic example, if I had not come to the United States to meet Brother Huang and Brother Situ this time, I would definitely not have known the various efforts and sacrifices made by the Hongmen in the revolution to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. They might even believe in the propaganda of the domestic government like ordinary people in the country, thinking that it was all the credit of Sun and his followers."

"Jingcun, I think what the little brother said makes sense." Huang Sande said, "You are now the Prime Minister of the Zhigong Party. Your personal honor and disgrace can be said to be the honor and disgrace of the entire Zhigong Party. It is better to sort out the historical truth. Brother, I am now sorting out the revolutionary history of the Hongmen. I can't let the deeds of those Hongmen brothers who shed blood and sacrificed to overthrow the Qing Dynasty be destroyed like this. If you are too busy, I think Dingsi might as well help you sort it out. He has followed you for many years and knows what he has done to you and the grudges between you and Sun Yat-sen. I think there will be no problem. When he finishes sorting it out, I will leave it to you for a look."

Chen Jiongming thought it was indeed reasonable, so he nodded to Chen Qiyou and said, "Okay, let's leave this matter to Dingsi to handle." Chen Qiyou nodded and agreed.

In history, after the Sun and Chen relationship broke down, Chen Jiongming believed that history was fair, so he allowed Sun Wen and his followers to scold him as a rebel or a thief, but did not express any disagreement to the public. After Sun Wen's death in March 1925, Chen Jiongming gave a couplet that "only heroes can kill people, and the culprits will be the first to be a culprit, and they will have a long history; they have fought with their old friends one after another, and their public hatred and personal friendship are all based on a single inch of heart." In addition, Chen Jiongming did not publicly talk about Sun and Chen's grievances throughout his life.

Now, due to the emergence of Zhao Zhenzhong and others, history has been added with some seasonings like a famous dish being cooked. Not only did Huang Sande advance the history of the Hongmen Revolution, which only started to be sorted out in 36 years in history to 29 years, but Chen Jiongming also agreed to leave his own voice for his own historical past and the grievances between Sun and Chen.

After saying some off-topics that have little to do with the founding of the South China Kingdom, Chen Jiongming hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard from Brother Situ that although Brother Zhao and others helped the Zhigongtang very much, they never interfere in the affairs of the Zhigongtang, and they do not participate in the affairs of the Zhigongtang. However, judging from the fact that Brother Zhao entrusts the Nanyang founding plan to the Zhigongtang to implement, it is not comparable to ordinary trust. I wonder if Brother Zhao and others are willing to join the Zhigongtang Party? Or do you have any good suggestions for the current situation of the Zhigongtang Party?"

Although the Zhigong Party proposed to "unify the hall with the party" shortly after its founding, it actually means "party halls coexist", and even many of the Zhigong Hall's halls are still doing their own things. Chen Jiongming was not born in Zhigong Hall, but was elected by the people in Zhigong Hall to become the prime minister of the Zhigong Party. Although he was also determined to rectify the situation of "party halls coexistence", he also felt a little headache about some people and things in Zhigong Hall, and it was difficult to deal with them rashly. Although Zhao Zhenzhong and others were only about 20 years old and had no experience in party building, they still seemed to be unreasonable from the actions of Zhao Zhenzhong and others. Chen Jiongming asked Zhao Zhenzhong more about it and wanted to hear the suggestions of Zhao Zhenzhong and the others.

"We have told Brother Situ before that we still have a lot of concerns now and do not want to join any political party in the near future." After Zhao Zhenzhong politely declined, he continued, "We have never had any experience in party building, so we can't say that there is any good advice on the current situation of the Zhigong Party. Mr. Chen asked Yu Blindly."

After hearing Zhao Zhenzhong's words, Chen Jiongming and others felt a little disappointed, but Zhao Zhenzhong continued: "However, I have read some history books and started some companies. I feel that some things in them seem to be of some reference value to Mr. Chen, so I will say it. If you don't say it well, please correct me with all the gentlemen here."

"You little brother, don't be polite. If you have any ideas, just say it. Let us old men listen carefully," Situ Meitang said with a smile.

"Looking at the prosperity of ancient and modern times, the reason is nothing more than 'strict laws and regulations, and the right to be virtuous and capable of providing for the sake of merit,' and sufficient materials." Zhao Zhenzhong said, "Strict laws and regulations can establish a good order, so that virtuous people can be used for their own use, and easy to deal with small things, so that all matters can be carried out step by step; and placing people with merit can make up for the shortcomings in the laws and regulations in a timely manner, so that the system and even order are full of vitality; the two can be said to be complementary. Of course, in addition to these two, there must be certain materials for supply. Otherwise, no matter how strict the laws and regulations are, no matter how talented the laws and regulations are, it is difficult for a skillful woman to cook without rice. In summary, it is to combine the role of systems, people and things to play a role, among which the role of human beings occupies the primary position."

"In modern times, with the emergence of various companies, the historical factors have been specifically factors such as systems, organizations, funds, places, etc. A perfect management system, effective organizational structure, sufficient development funds, and a stable business place are definitely essential basic conditions for a good company to develop. Among them, a perfect management system and an effective organizational structure can enable the company to work together to realize the interests of the company, reflecting the role of people and systems; while sufficient development funds and stable business place, as the guarantee for the company's development and growth, reflect the role of things."

"The company is an organization, and a political party is also an organization. These conditions that are indispensable for the development of the company are also indispensable for the development of the political party. Think about the revolutionary party led by Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, Tao Chengzhang and others at that time, in addition to lacking a fixed venue for activity because they had to avoid the arrest of the Qing Dynasty at that time, systems, organizations and funds were indispensable. Of course, in addition to this, the development and growth of the political party must also be guided by ideological and theoretical guidance. All this can be verified from the two domestic political parties that are constantly fighting. If the Zhigong Party wants to develop and grow, it may also consider starting from these aspects."

Although what Zhao Zhenzhong said is a bit too general and does not involve specific aspects, this statement that summarizes the necessary conditions for the development of an organization from the perspective of history and the present, from the company to the party, has refreshed Chen Jiongming and others. Moreover, what Zhao Zhenzhong said is indeed reasonable.

"What Brother Zhao said is indeed reasonable, but do you have more specific suggestions for our Zhigong Party?" Chen Jiongming asked.

"I don't understand the situation within the Zhigong Party, so it's hard to comment on it." Zhao Zhenzhong said carefully, "However, I personally think that the current overseas layout of the Zhigong Party is somewhat unfavorable to its future development. As a political party of overseas Chinese, the Zhigong Party is headquartered in Hong Kong, but its foundation is the Zhigong Hall in the Americas, which is definitely inconvenient in management. In addition, Chinese people in the Americas live in scattered areas, so they do their own things. The Nanyang side also needs to implement a national construction plan, which is really unfavorable to the integration of the Zhigong Hall and even the Zhigong Party."

"Look at the two political parties in China built with the help of the Soviets. Although their current system may not be the best, there are also problems of one kind or another, at least these two parties have many places for the Zhigong Party to learn from in terms of management systems and organizational structures. Objectively speaking, the management model of these two party organizations is more conducive to integrating the whole party's forces and exerting their joint efforts."

After hearing this, Chen Jiongming frowned and thought for a while, and said, "The two parties have some references in terms of system and organization, but the ideology they pursue is not something that the Zhigong Party can use. But if there is no considerable ideological and theoretical guidance, then the so-called learning and reference will probably lead to a bad example."

Zhao Zhenzhong thoughtfully said: "A political party must determine its historical tasks in the party program. For China today, there is no greater task than realizing independence, democracy, prosperity and strength. At the same time, for overseas Chinese, there is no more important task than giving them a country of their own. I think the Zhigong Party might as well consider these two aspects. Of course, if it is stipulated in the party program, try to be more general and never show the words "South China National Founding" to avoid making the great powers alert and increasing the difficulty of implementing the plan."

After hearing this, Chen Jiongming suddenly felt enlightened.
