"It's hard for me to help you tell this lie." Canglong shook his head, "You always think that what I do is extreme, but in fact, compared to you, my extremeness is nothing."
Secretary Yu was not disappointed and just said: "You don't have to lie to her, but you don't have to tell her. If you tell her, she will definitely stay with me. And there are some things that I have to do if it weren't for your appearance.
, maybe I’ve accomplished my goal.”
Hearing this, Canglong fell silent. He knew that he could not convince Secretary Yu, because he was not Secretary Yu, but the municipal party committee secretary who sacrificed his own family and fulfilled countless families. The final outcome may not be as good as expected.
, but it is inevitably bad. Is it really worth it?
"Are you still opposed to me being with Yu Xue?" Canglong suddenly asked.
"You are from two different worlds, and being together will only add to your frustrations." Secretary Yu shook his head, "I don't know what else you have that I don't know about, but I just want my daughter to live an ordinary life."
An ordinary life."
"What I have always wanted to give her is just plain and simple." Canglong said firmly.
"It's just that you can't give it to her now, right?" Secretary Yu suddenly stared at Canglong, "It's like you failed my test. I know you actually have something to hide, but I can't understand you, just like you can't understand mine.
In practice, we are actually the same people, but we are in different environments."
Canglong shook his head with a wry smile. The municipal party secretary was not as ignorant as he thought. On the contrary, she knew many things. Even if there were some that she could not imagine, she could still judge them through logical relationships. At this moment, he really didn't know what to do.
How to convince my mother-in-law.
After a long silence, Canglong suddenly said: "Do you think this city is happy?"
"Happiness?" Secretary Yu said with confusion on his face, "Some people are happy and some people are unhappy. This is the inevitable result."
"In human nature, there is such a logic that the interests of a small number of people are sacrificed for the interests of the majority. If judged by this logic, this city is actually unhappy. This is also your consistent logic." Canglong.
Looking at her, there was no evasion, "It's just that it was before. Now it's for the interests of a few people at the expense of the interests of the majority."
"What do you want to say?" Secretary Yu frowned.
"I want to say that when the mainstream people in a city are not living a satisfactory life, it does not make any sense for the city's economy to develop." Canglong said calmly, "From the time I came here, I felt deeply
This kind of local awareness is beneficial at certain times, but it is also harmful at certain times, and it does more harm than good."
"You are still too young. The established policies cannot be changed, not even by me." Secretary Yu seemed to know what Canglong wanted to say, but the current policy is to put the economy first and people's livelihood second.
"No, you can actually change." Canglong raised his head, "Every year, officials from Dongning City go to Europe and the United States to inspect their advanced systems, but these inspections often turn into publicly funded tours, and what they really bring back is
In fact, it is nothing more than selective integration.”
"They often bring back and implement policies that are beneficial to them, and directly ban policies that are not beneficial to them. This is China's selective integration. I don't know how other cities are like, but I know that Dongning City is actually like this." Canglong said calmly.
, "Just like traditional Chinese culture, as the saying goes, if you don't learn something good, you will learn something bad."
"That's how officialdom is." Secretary Yu shook his head, "The direction should be conducive to economic development, not backward."
"You want to talk to me about the economy?" Canglong suddenly laughed, "Even if Dongning City's new economic zone is established, if the environment does not change, this economic zone will not be active because the overall consciousness of Dongning City is xenophobic.
Rather than an attitude of acceptance.”
"Are we xenophobic?" Secretary Yu suddenly felt a little funny, "The purpose of building new economic zones is to attract investment."
"Haha." Canglong sneered and stopped talking.
"why are you laughing?"
"I laugh at your ignorance."
"Ignorance?" Secretary Yu frowned, but was not angry, "Then you are going to tell me why I am ignorant?"
"The so-called economy is just the demand for buying and selling, which has spawned various markets in all walks of life, and such markets need people to activate them. If a country wants to develop its economy, it must be more open and more open.
Tolerant attitude to accept foreign technical resources, a city also needs to adopt this tolerant attitude to accept foreign resources and technology if it wants to develop." Canglong said.
"Technology can be compensated through time, but resources cannot. This resource can be said to be renewable resources and non-renewable resources. In my eyes, the development of Dongning City is all using non-renewable resources. This is just
It will lead Dongning City to a dead end, and eventually the economy will become a pool of stagnant water." Canglong said calmly, "But you have never known how to utilize the real renewable resources."
"Renewable resources include manpower. Dongning City relies on cheap labor to be what it is today. But with the development of society, cheap labor will become no longer cheap, especially the lowest group of people. Although they are in this economic level,
They are at the bottom of the food chain, but they are the real trend." Canglong looked at Secretary Yu and sneered, "If a city only knows how to exploit these people at the bottom, it will eventually make this resource less and less.
And now you are digging your own grave."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Secretary Yu asked coldly.
Cang Long did not speak, but looked outside. After a while, he said: "What I saw was the ugliness wrapped up under the gorgeous appearance."
"Yeah." Secretary Yu's face became colder and colder.
"Because I can't feel the warmth of this city." Canglong looked at her without fear, "The most important group of people in a city are often not those who occupy the top, but those who live at the bottom.
, they are the largest group of people in this city. Although the total salary of all of them is not as good as the salary of someone in the high-income group, whether the people in this city are happy or not depends on whether they are happy or not.
"
"I've been doing it." Secretary Yu somewhat understood the meaning of Canglong's words.
But Canglong looked at Secretary Yu sarcastically and said: "A city that can't even pay wages to migrant workers, how can we talk about the so-called happiness? A city that can't even accommodate migrant workers, how can we talk about the so-called warmth? As the municipal party committee secretary
, you know that while you are singing about social harmony, they are struggling in the New Year. They don’t want much, but they only hope to get the small salary they have saved over the year through hard work.
Money, go home for the New Year!!!”
"Is the purpose of your words **?" Secretary Yu's face was cold, and the two faced each other again.
"I won't go to you for sex, just like they won't go to bed if they can't get the wages they deserve during the Chinese New Year, because you will only deal with them and make them feel cold." Canglong said in a cold tone, "Discrimination
And exploitation is what you gave them, and it is also the spirit of this city."
Secretary Yu suddenly fell silent. At this moment, she suddenly thought, what is the spirit of Dongning City? Although Canglong's words were very extreme, the description was very appropriate. Exploitation and discrimination are the spirit of this city.
Locals discriminate against outsiders, and rich people discriminate against poor people, but they don't know that they are the largest group in this society.
“If a city really wants to develop economically, the easiest way is to accept outsiders with a tolerant heart, no matter they are poor or rich, no matter their level of education, if the city can accept them, then it will be successful.
It is the best economic environment, because everyone will come to this city to pursue their dreams, and everyone wants to show their talents in this city, so why should this city not prosper?" Canglong's tone softened.
, “No matter which country or world-class city it is, the most subjective reason why it can stand out is because they have an accepting and tolerant attitude. Only in this way countless people are willing to rush to this city, and only then countless people are willing to work for this city.
This is the urban spirit that a new society should have. Dongning City has such an economic foundation, but does not have such an economic environment."
Secretary Yu nodded. Although what Cang Long said was not entirely correct, the theme was very clear, that is, the city spirit, because a cohesive city spirit can often drive the city to prosper. As Cang Long said,
Dongning City has a strong local consciousness and is extremely repulsive to outsiders. How can such a city become an economically developed city?
Some people may say that although Dongning City has a strong local consciousness, it has not developed to the point where it is today? But Secretary Yu knows very well that this is not because Dongning City’s environment is so good, but because countless non-renewable resources have been sacrificed.
In the end, we achieved our current achievements.
If Dongning City continues to develop in this sacrificial model, it is likely to be a stagnant water in the end, because sooner or later the non-renewable resources will be squandered, and then the city will no longer have any value.
What is the true meaning of reform and opening up? It is not to sacrifice non-renewable resources in exchange for the current false prosperity, but to use opening up to develop its own technology and its own talents.
In Secretary Yu’s impression, the Dongning model has been the sacrifice model that Cang Long mentioned from beginning to end, so that many foreign-funded enterprises began to withdraw from the Dongning market because they have finished using this city instead of being in this city.
The most important thing is that after decades of opening up, private enterprises in Dongning City have not yet developed, and almost all of them are not useful. This is the biggest mistake.
"You went all the way around just to let me make the decision for the migrant workers, right?" Secretary Yu asked.
Canglong shook his head: "You always say that I am too extreme, but why don't you do things that are too extreme? Whether it is at home or in your career, you can actually choose a gentle approach to give yourself some space and give others some space.
Some space.”
"Haha." Secretary Yu suddenly looked at Canglong and sneered, "You don't ask for my help. Are you prepared for some backup?"
"Haha." Cang Long also sneered, "This is what you should do. Since you are unwilling to do it, then I have to force you to do it."
"Yeah." Secretary Yu's face was cold, but he didn't know what Canglong wanted to do...
