Outside the glass window is a main road in our city, which extends straight ahead in the distance. Sometimes when I see these roads in the city, I can't help but think of them as the blood vessels of our human body.
They are distributed in every corner of the city in all directions, and countless vehicles take people to where they want to go. The city is like our body, what it needs is the nourishment of us humans. A city without people inhabiting it is very difficult.
It will soon become a wasteland.
The window in front of me was bright. This season is when the sun is the warmest, so I wouldn’t feel the heat. However, I immediately and clearly felt the heat on this road - the main trunk below.
The left and right sides of the road were blocked by all kinds of cars. The glass next to us is super thick, so it is very soundproof. Although I can't hear any sound from outside, I completely believe that if we walk outside,
If you go there, you will definitely hear the noisy roar of cars and the annoying honking of car horns.
I didn't know what Lin Yi wanted to ask me. I said: "This city is very beautiful, and it is even more beautiful under the sun like today. But there is too much traffic. It's like a healthy body with vascular disease."
If it continues like this for a long time, it will definitely affect your health and even lead to paralysis."
He nodded, "Yes. Traffic jams are a problem in every big city in our country. So, do you know why there are traffic jams in every big city in our country?"
I was a little confused, because this question had nothing to do with what we talked about before. But I thought his words must have a deeper meaning, because he always does this. I replied: "There may be reasons for the traffic jam.
Many factors, such as road management efficiency, driver quality, pedestrian quality and other factors can cause road congestion, but I think the most fundamental reason is insufficient road supply. Therefore, the main reason for traffic jams is that there are many cars and narrow roads. There are too many cars.
It means there are many cars on the same road. Why are there so many cars on the same road? It’s because there are many people living on both sides of the road. Why are there so many people living there? Because there are many houses on both sides of the road. Why are there so many houses? Because the houses are too repaired
High. Building high houses is the real cause of traffic jams. On the contrary, narrow roads are not the main cause of traffic jams. City operators and managers seem to believe that a city is only a city with many high-rise buildings, so the houses are built higher and higher.
Big cities are engaged in a competition to build tall buildings and are proud of having tall buildings. If cities are built with this kind of thinking, no matter how many roads are built, there will be traffic jams."
He nodded slightly, and then asked me: "Then how do you think we can avoid traffic jams?"
I thought for a while and replied: "I think the method is actually very simple, that is, build as high a building as wide as the road. This principle is actually very simple, and ordinary citizens understand it, but due to the differences between building builders and city operations and management
Those who build high-rise buildings are blinded by economic interests and become mentally retarded. Nowadays, those who build high-rise buildings do not consider how wide the road is. What those who build high-rise buildings consider are economic interests. They want to build more houses and sell more houses with the least amount of land.
Money. But the slap should not be slapped on the butt of the building builder. It is the city planning department and the city’s management that should be slapped.”
This is my personal thought, and I also thought that he was in real estate, so I took some of his feelings into consideration when answering.
He nodded and smiled, "What you said is quite insightful. It's pretty good that you can answer it to such an extent. After all, you are just the director of a hospital. Feng Xiao, this also shows that you are a
People who are good at thinking about problems. You should know that as a leader who may have a certain level in the future, being good at thinking about problems is the most fundamental. There is a saying that success always belongs to those who are prepared. So, now I believe it even more
You will become a successful and excellent official in the future."
He rarely praised me like this. At this moment, I suddenly felt embarrassed and said, "Uncle Lin, I am not as good as you said. It's just that I often encounter traffic jams on weekdays, so I thought about this issue.
"
He smiled and said: "Who in this city has never encountered a traffic jam? The question is how many people would think about such a problem?"
I laughed "hehe".
But he immediately said to me: "But Feng Xiao, have you ever thought about the possibility? That is, the government is deliberately causing traffic jams in the city center."
I was suddenly stunned, "How is this possible? The government would never do such a thing no matter what, right?"
He looked at me and smiled, "Think about it carefully. You should know that the government is definitely not doing this out of boredom or out of nerves. It is of course to benefit the management of the city."
I thought about it for a while and found that I really couldn't understand the logic behind it.
He was eating and drinking alone there. After seeing me thinking hard for a long time, he smiled and said to me: "Feng Xiao, maybe what I said is not that the traffic jams in every city are caused intentionally by the government, but here we are.
This is the case in this city. This is an urban management strategy implemented under the proposal of Governor Huang. Haven’t you noticed that traffic jams in our main city have become more and more serious recently? Many places are clearly not under construction but are considered to be half of the city.
The road is barricaded, and it is obvious that the traffic congestion problem can be solved by using a large circulation method, but it is not done in that way? Do you know why this is?"
I couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
He came to clink glasses with me, took a sip of wine and then said: "It's very simple, the purpose of causing traffic jams is to prevent traffic jams in the future."
I was even more confused, "What does this mean?"
He laughed "haha", "You, your thinking is still too limited. You have to know that a person who always thinks in a fixed way is an ordinary person. Feng Xiao, I won't tell you the answer to this question, because I have already
I remind you that you have reached a certain level. If I tell you directly why, it will make you lazier in thinking in the future, which is very bad for your independent thinking and creative thinking in the future. Now let’s talk about another issue.
.”
I nodded shamefully, "Just tell me."
He glanced at me and said, "Feng Xiao, don't feel embarrassed. I actually thought about the question just now for a long time before I understood the reason, and I believe you will figure it out. To understand this question, you only need to change
Just think about it from perspective.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an idea suddenly flashed in my mind, "Uncle Lin, I understand..."
He looked at me, "Oh? Tell me."
After I straightened my thoughts for a while, I immediately said: "The reason for traffic jams is because there are too many people and too many cars. Now with the development of the economy, the increase in people's income, and the large number of domestically produced cheap cars on the market,
This has further increased urban traffic congestion. Therefore, the government deliberately sets up some obstacles in places where traffic congestion is currently and likely to occur in the future to make these places even more congested. In this way, many people will slowly give up driving to these places.
Go and gradually form a habit. Is that so, Uncle Lin?"
He gave me a thumbs up, "Feng Xiao, you are right. This is very good. As long as you get used to using this way of thinking in the future, you will definitely become a successful person."
I am also very happy in my heart. This kind of happiness is as exciting as when I finally solved a math problem through various efforts in middle school. However, I still feel that I still don’t fully understand all the problems, and I
There are still some flaws in his thinking. So I asked him: "Governor Huang must not be thinking so simple, right?"
He said: "This matter is not complicated in the first place. It is just a concept, and this concept has long been formed abroad. Many European and American countries have also experienced such a stage in the process of urbanization. Feng Xiao, let me tell you the truth.
Tell me, in fact, I only really understood this approach and concept after consulting relevant information. Yes, you are right. Governor Huang also has another idea, which is to take advantage of this opportunity to build subways as soon as possible.
Transportation facilities, in this way, when all the more convenient means of transportation are formed in the future, people will be accustomed to using them, and they will naturally form the concept of driving to such places as little as possible. So, this is actually a system
project."
Only then did I completely and truly understand the key to this problem. However, I suddenly remembered that what we were talking about before seemed not to be this problem?
He looked at me and smiled, "Look at how Governor Huang is able to use the experience of foreign urban development according to local conditions. Feng Xiao, you said earlier that you think the officialdom is too scary, and you even thought of returning to become a doctor.
Thoughts. Not to mention the question of whether you can go back now, it is not the behavior of a man to be so afraid of difficulties and always face difficulties with an evasive mentality. Look, Governor Huang is facing a traffic jam.
How do you deal with such a problem that many people find difficult to solve? He uses his own strength to turn unfavorable factors into favorable factors. What is this? It is courage and wisdom. Feng Xiao, you don’t have it at all now.
Did you know that entering the officialdom? A hospital can only be regarded as a semi-official state at best. Now that you are in this position, it is a good time and a good opportunity for you to become familiar with the officialdom and understand it. In the future, you will understand that once you have
Once you have the ability to deal with big problems, once you have great wisdom like Governor Huang, you will fall in love with officialdom. Do you know what officialdom is? It is a game played by people with high IQs.
It is the collision and struggle of wisdom and wisdom. Old Man Mao once said that fighting with the sky is endless fun, fighting with the earth is endless fun, fighting with people is endless fun. In fact, the real fun is fighting with people. Aggressive people
Men's instinct is a common characteristic of male animals. The problem of traffic jams is just like the difficulties we encounter. If a person always regards difficulties as difficulties, then he is weak and a coward. If a person always regards difficulties as a time, he is a coward.
If you have the opportunity to demonstrate your ability, then such a person is a wise man and a warrior. Feng Xiao, do you understand what I mean?"
Of course I understand, but I still feel that I may not be able to reach that height. However, at this moment, I dare not speak out my true inner thoughts, thinking that otherwise he will definitely be disappointed in me, and it will also attract him
criticism of me.
However, he seemed to know my inner thoughts completely. He looked at me with encouraging eyes, "Feng Xiao, take your time, don't be anxious. You didn't have much administrative work experience before, and your current position
But it is your best official internship position. Today I have discovered that you are more calm than before, and your thinking is more mature than before. Although you are still timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and you like to be a good person.
, but you have changed a lot. In a few years, when your hospital completes the transformation according to your ideas, you will have achieved political achievements, your ability to think about problems will be stronger, and your experience in politics will be richer.
That's when you can show off your ambitions. To be honest, I only now realize the deep meaning of Minister Lin's arrangement for you to take this position." (To be continued)
