I shook my head and said, "Isn't this too big a problem? There are many factors that lead to the success of something, such as whether the interpersonal relationships are coordinated, whether the funds are abundant, whether the opportunities are properly grasped, etc. In short, as long as you have the right time, the right place and the right people,
, then everything will become easier.”
He nodded and said: "It makes sense. The right time refers to opportunities or opportunities. As the saying goes, success depends on people and God. If God doesn't help, no matter how hard we try, it may be in vain. The right geographical location refers to the environment and location we are in.
For example, I am now in the position of county magistrate, and you, for example, have huge social resources. People and people are actually talking about interpersonal relationships. For you and me, I can reach the position I am now, and you can develop so smoothly.
, this in itself shows that God is taking care of us. Do you think so? Now that your father-in-law’s company is investing here, I believe it will also include your shares, and I am a major official of the government here, and I am fully capable.
Let your investment go smoothly and pay off, this is the location. What I mainly want to talk to you now is the issue of human relations. Brother, let me be honest with you, I can sit in the position of county magistrate except myself.
Of course, in addition to abilities, I also have my own background and connections. Who is an official now and doesn’t have my own background and connections? However, I also hope that I can make greater progress, but my existing connections and background are no longer able to
Help me, because my background and connections are not up to that level. Haha! Don’t get me wrong. What I mean is that I really hope to be able to reach a higher level under your care. Of course.
It's my selfishness, but I hope to do more practical things after I reach a certain height. Life is short. If I can realize my life value more and serve the people more in my limited life,
Why not do this? Although some things in the officialdom are disgusting, we have to act according to the unspoken rules. There is no way. After all, personal power cannot change many things.
But I can always influence the part under my jurisdiction through my own scope of power, right? Brother, what I said is very straightforward, I hope you won’t be offended.”
I found that his views were very similar to Kang Demao's, and I couldn't help but wonder: Are all officials today so helpless? I then smiled and said to him, "I understand very well. In fact, this is also why I don't want to be in politics.
One of the reasons is that I feel too tired."
He looked very happy, "Yes, it is indeed very tiring. But officialdom also has its fun. In fact, officials are also human beings, and they also have ordinary human emotions. Brother, do you know what people do nowadays? Let me tell you,
Worship! Many officials, between officials and businessmen, and between businessmen and businessmen have special relationships, and the form of maintaining this special relationship is sworn worship. Although this kind of thing cannot be put on the table, it is very effective.
.
Because we Chinese people attach great importance to loyalty and affection. Once two people have a relationship with opposite-sex brothers, they may become closer than real brothers. In fact, this is also our national condition. The reason why Zhang Zuolin rose to great heights and unified the three eastern provinces became the king of Northeast China.
, talking about loyalty in the world and forming brotherly alliances through sworn vows are also the basis for his success. His group of old buddies, as well as some of the close associates who will hold important positions in the three northeastern provinces, are all the friends he made when he was wandering around in the world.
Brothers, such as Zhang Jinghui, Tang Yulin, Zhang Zuoqiang, etc.
The reason why Zhang Zuolin moved up one level after another is inseparable from the vigorous support of his brothers in life and death. Therefore, Zhang Zuolin's success is first of all the success of the world, which is an indispensable prerequisite for his political success. This cannot help but make people feel
I think of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu who was extremely powerful. Xiang Yu basically fought against Liu Bang's group with his own strength, and he was basically an idiot in the field of Jianghu and the use of Jianghu techniques. Historically, many politicians have
Political success always includes success in the arena. Generally speaking, those who are mentally retarded in the arena cannot go far on the political road. Wang Lun, the scholar in white in "Water Margin", originally
He is the boss of Liang Shanbo, but he is a person who is not very good at dealing with the relationship between Jianghu and Jianghu. In addition, he is too small and ends up being killed by Lin Chong. Those who enter politics and those who use Jianghu will invariably choose to become sworn brothers.
way to form a community of interests. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's "Three Brothers in Taoyuan" not only realistically obtained their right-hand man, but also won a good reputation that has been praised throughout the ages.
In this way, Liu Bei successfully completed the transition from a Jianghu figure to a political figure. Haha! Brother, what I just said is something in history, and it is the same in our current reality. Of course, I don’t want this relationship to be
For the purpose of who uses whom, I hope that there will be a true brotherhood between the two people, and they will spare no effort to help each other in the future common cause, and make full use of each other's resources, so that each of us can realize the most ambitious goal in our hearts.
Ideal. This is the most fundamental purpose. Brother, do you understand what I am saying?"
How could I not understand after he talked to this extent? Now I fully understand: he wants to sworn sworn sworn friends with me.
To be honest, I don’t like people to use this method to strengthen mutual relationships, but from the bottom of my heart, I have a complex of giving up on the matter of sworn vows. After all, I am also Chinese. What he just said
After all, the stories in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have penetrated into my bones. The brotherhood between Liu, Guan, and Zhang is really longing for people. In the final analysis, the sworn sworn relationship actually reveals the heroic complex in the hearts of each of us. However, I
I feel that the most important thing here is not this aspect, the most important thing is: what kind of person should I become a sworn sworn brother?
What he said just now made it very clear that the sworn relationship he hoped for was not that pure, it was just for mutual use of each other's resources. This is the most fundamental reason for my disgust.
The problem before me now is that I can't refuse him directly. Because he just made it very clear that our project is here and in his hands. I once heard Lin Yi tell me something: Ten million
Don't think that officials will be honest. The most dishonest people nowadays are those officials!
Obviously, if I reject him directly now, it will definitely be difficult to carry out the project. As an official, the person in front of me can find reasonable excuses to explain the failure of our investment. The word "official" is two-pronged.
, the truth is left to them to say.
However, no matter how headache I feel, I have to answer his question immediately. I can no longer avoid this matter. I smiled and said: "Brother Long, haha! From now on, I will call you this in private. Okay?"
He was overjoyed, "Great!"
I continued: "Brother Long, I don't think there is any need to talk about formalities between friends. As long as everyone's feelings are in place, it is completely appropriate to help each other. Brother Long, you are an official. If you do something like that, what if
If the news spreads, it will not have a good impact on you. I just listened to what you said about your ideals, and I think you are very similar to Kang Demao in this regard. You are both the kind of people who want to do practical things.
I can completely understand that we have to follow the unspoken rules under the existing system. To be honest, there are very few officials I have met like you and Kang Demao, because you have a common
That is, you sincerely want to do things for the people. Speaking of which, you can be regarded as an alternative in the current officialdom. Haha! However, ordinary people welcome alternative people like you. Since you are an alternative, you should not be the same as those ordinary people.
To do those frivolous things, don’t you think? For example, Kang Demao and I, although we are classmates, have actually not contacted each other for many years. After we met not long ago, I also heard him talk about his personal life.
It was only after ideals that I discovered that he was different. It is true that I have some connections, and it was my connections that helped him, because I felt that he was worthy of my help, because in his heart he wanted to do things for the people. This is very worthwhile.
I admire you. Brother Long, I think the emotions between friends can be kept in our hearts and don't need to be expressed too much. This is just like two men and women who are in love. If they say "every time they meet"
"I love you", I believe they are not far away from separation, because feelings need to be integrated into the blood to become thicker. If they stay in words, formal emotions are just a mask. You are
Really, Brother Long?"
He was about to speak, and I immediately added: "Brother Long, don't worry, if you need me to do anything for you in the future, as long as I can do it, I will go through the swords and mountains of fire. Brother Long, I can see that.
Your relationship with Kang Demao is not ordinary. You can ask him about my principles of doing things. Brother Long, this time Jiangnan Group is able to invest in my hometown, this is actually the result of the joint efforts of you and me. This is
It’s been proven that we work well together. Don’t you think so?”
Just now, I had been paying attention to his expression when I was saying this to him. At first, his expression was a little unhappy, but it slowly became softer, especially when I mentioned that I had a relationship with Kandel.
During the relationship, the smile on his face slowly spread, and in the end, when I assured him, he was already smiling.
I suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief.
After I finished speaking, he sighed: "Brother, you are so eloquent. I admire you very much. But I think you are right. It seems that I am tacky. Haha! I think so, when will we make an appointment with Demao?
The three of us will have a good drink together. Next time I go to the provincial capital, I will come as a host and we can have a good chat about some things together." (To be continued)
