Provincial Party Committee

Chapter 24

Wang Yiming thought, this is his life. In the eyes of those who are not as good as him, he is young, has a position, has power, should enjoy the enjoyment, should enjoy the scenery, and should not have any regrets in this life up.But Wang Yiming knows that these are superficial phenomena. For him, this kind of life is actually a waste of life. What he does is not what he wants to do, and what he says is not what he wants to say. The feeling of powerlessness is not a personal experience. people can't feel it.

We all live in the eyes of others, only from the envious eyes of others, we know that we live better than others.I don't know from which book, Wang Yiming saw such a sentence, he was startled, and felt that the sentence was right, yes, we have actually lost the ability to experience life alone.

Compared with Wei Zhengdong, Wang Yiming felt that he was a winner in the officialdom, but he was poor in thought.My own mind, day by day, has become a machine for carrying out other people's opinions in meeting documents and instructions from superiors. This is a thinking pattern formed by long-term work as a secretary and deputy leader.I don’t have my own independent opinion, no independent experience, and no courage to break the rules. I just need to follow the leader, step by step, and deal with it in a dawdly way. Absolutely no edge.This is also when chatting with Wei Zhengdong, Wei Zhengdong said: "You officials pretended to be stupid at the beginning, thinking that this was the safest way, but after decades of pretending, from small officials to high officials, you can finally show your face and express yourself openly. However, it turned out that after pretending for decades, I no longer had an opinion. From pretending to be stupid to being really stupid! This is the deep-seated reason why it is popular in official circles to say clichés, lies, and empty words.”

Every time he chatted with Wei Zhengdong, Wang Yiming felt that he suddenly realized and was shocked.Although his words are not nice, even a little sharp, but you can't say that he is unreasonable.

Especially Mr. Zhao asked Wang Yiming so many questions, many of which Wang Yiming had never seriously thought about. He knew that Wei Zhengdong must have the answers to these questions, and he could learn from them.When that day really comes, when I have the opportunity to take charge of Xijiang, I won't let everyone feel that I have no inkling, and it will be too late to hold on to the Buddha's feet when the time comes.It seems that there is some reason for the arrangement of fate.He has the platform to do things, and Wei Zhengdong has the ideas to do things. Combining the two, maybe he can make a career out of it.Thinking of this, Wang Yiming couldn't help but feel complacent. He was like Cao Cao who selected talents and appointed talents, and Wei Zhengdong was his right-hand man, Guo Jia or Xun You who planned strategies and won thousands of miles.

When the car arrived downstairs at Wei Zhengdong's house, Wang Yiming called and said, "Here we are, old man, please come down!" Wei Zhengdong lived on the 11th floor, and he came down after a few minutes.

Wang Yiming looked at him, he was still wearing a brown-red casual suit, a checkered shirt, jeans, brown leather shoes, his hair was disheveled, and he looked slovenly.I know that he is used to staying abroad, he likes leisure and freedom, he doesn't like seriousness, especially he hates wearing a suit and tie.

He opened the door and got into the car. Wang Yiming saw that his eyes were red, as if he hadn't rested well.Just ask: "What's wrong? Can't sleep well?"

Wei Zhengdong took off his glasses, let Wang Yiming look at the bags under his eyes, and said, "I'm so excited about writing, I can't sleep."

Xiao Wu started the car, and Wang Yiming asked, "So hard, what are you writing? A paper?"

"I won't write those bullshit stuff anymore! Anyway, my professor has already got it, so there's no need for it, just deal with a few articles every year, and just complete the task."

"Then what do you write?"

"What I write is what I think in my heart. If I want to say something, I can start a blog on the Internet now, do you know? Anyone can write what they want to say and publish it on any topic. How deviant It’s a joy to be able to say anything!”

"Then reactionary remarks can also be made?"

"Why not? The mainstream media doesn't accept it. Now I can post it on the Internet. There are many netizens there who can communicate and interact. My thoughts have also been spread. I am moved and feel very fulfilled."

"What advice do you guys have recently? I want to listen carefully. Let's go. I'll find a quiet place. Let's close the door and have a good chat."

"Where?"

"Go to the leisure building of our department! There are familiar people there, so it's easy to arrange."

Before setting off, Wang Yiming had already called Xiao Lin and asked him to arrange a place where he and his friends could gather and chat.

Xiao Lin said: "Okay, I will arrange the main station, and let Xiao Wu go directly to the main station to get the key. I will arrange everything, and you don't have to worry about anything. When the time comes, just leave the key at the main station and it will be fine."

After driving for half an hour, we arrived at the Leisure Building in the suburbs of Beijing. When we arrived at the front desk, we reported Lin Jianqiang's name. The service staff knew that the chairman personally arranged the guest, so they didn't dare to neglect, and quickly took everyone to the top floor by elevator.When I opened the door, I found out that this is a presidential suite in the hotel.There are four or five houses inside, covering a total area of ​​more than 200 square meters.Luxuriously decorated with green carpets.

Wei Zhengdong entered the room, looked around the room, looked at the luxurious furniture, bedding and facilities in the bathroom, and asked Wang Yiming, "Yiming, how much does a room like this cost for a night here?"

Wang Yiming said: "I don't know the specifics, it may cost several thousand yuan."

Xiao Wu said: "The external price is 6800, which can be discounted, the minimum discount is 3400%, which is [-] per night."

Wei Zhengdong said: "You officials are really corrupt. 3400 yuan a night, almost catching up with my monthly salary. I earn 4000 yuan a month with full wages."

Wang Yiming said: "I have never been here, who usually lives here! This is all for those foreigners, or the super rich from Hong Kong and Taiwan, like Li Ka-shing, Buffett, etc., they come to live in such a place, Ordinary people, how can they afford to live!"

Xiao Wu said: "Boss, this scale has already fallen behind. Those super rich now have newer and more luxurious places. Places that cost tens of thousands a night are everywhere in Beijing. This decoration can no longer keep up. I've been there last time. So this hotel has the most unused presidential suites, so the discount is so low."

Wang Yiming said: "That's right, that's right. If the business of the hotel is good and there are no more rooms like this, then we won't have anything to do. They are idle and they are idle. Let's use them. We can't put anything. We have to use them frequently." , Otherwise, it will break down quickly. Brother Zhengdong, you can just think that we are doing the hotel a favor today, recycling waste, so that you don’t have a psychological burden. I just asked Xiaolin to arrange a place, I didn’t expect this kid to be so generous! "

Wei Zhengdong said: "Waste utilization, well, you officials are all making excuses for yourself like this! Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, anyway, it has already been made, otherwise it is a waste. Consumption of public funds, public funds Consumption, you know? What does the society say now, what is the biggest money? It is public funds. Hundreds of billions a year! Who has calculated this account?"

Wang Yiming saw that Wei Zhengdong's pedantic spirit had broken again, so he persuaded him: "Okay, since Brother Zhengdong has an opinion, let's change the place and ask for a suite, it's only a few hundred yuan, so you don't have to worry about it! "

Wei Zhengdong said: "I don't! It doesn't cost me a penny anyway, so why should I regret it? I haven't enjoyed such a presidential suite yet!"

"Look, it turns out that when there is an opportunity for corruption, our big professor is also like this. Everyone is human and the same, and they talk about anti-corruption, but once there is an opportunity for corruption, no one will miss it. Look There is a long way to go to fight corruption!"

At this time, Xiao Wu had already poured tea for the two of them, washed all kinds of fruits, put them in the fruit bowl, and put them on the tea table. Then, he quietly walked into a room alone, closed the door, and watched TV. went.The drivers are all like this, they are very winking, they only appear when they need to appear, they come when they are called, and they leave as soon as they are called.

Wei Zhengdong took a sip of tea, gently put down his cup, looked at Wang Yiming, and said, "Tell me, call me, what's the matter?"

Wang Yiming said: "I don't understand some questions. I want to ask you, a great professor, to give me some advice. Last night, I went to Mr. Zhao's house. Mr. Zhao asked me a few questions, but I couldn't answer them for a while. I thought of you. Here, there may be an answer."

Wei Zhengdong said, "What's the problem?"

Wang Yiming said: "Mr. Zhao asked me three big questions. The first is why so many people are still poor after we have reformed and opened up for so many years. What is the reason why the Chinese people work hard but do not get rich? The second question is, Why do we need to introduce so much foreign capital? What is foreign capital? Various regions have formulated a series of preferential policies to introduce foreign capital. Is such a reform and opening policy beneficial to foreigners or Chinese? Third, our Communist Party What exactly do people do? What does the word "communism" mean? Where is the new China? His questions are very big, but they are also very real and specific. They seem to be commonplace, but I think, We seem to seldom think about these issues seriously now, thinking that this is the past tense, the old calendar has passed, and it has nothing to do with us. We only need to persist in reform and opening up, listen to the leaders, and do our own work day by day. The country will automatically become independent and prosperous. So in the face of Mr. Zhao's question, I am speechless and ashamed. I think you, a great professor, must have thought about these issues. From your usual conversations, I also I heard it, you have opinions, so I just want to hear what you think."

Wei Zhengdong said: "The few articles I wrote recently are aimed at solving these problems, and they have had a great impact on the Internet, with millions of hits. You can download them from the Internet and print them out. The numbers there are more accurate. I am here now, just talking about it in general. First of all, the first question is very good. Why do Chinese people work hard but not get rich? That is because the wealth we created has been lost invisibly. Since 1997 After the Asian financial crisis, our economic development path has embarked on an export-oriented economy due to weak domestic consumption and sluggish domestic demand. There has always been a misunderstanding in our country that Japan is an export-oriented economy. In fact, even if Japan In the year when the export was the largest, it only reached one-third of the GDP. The Japanese economy still relies on the consumption of ordinary people. The ordinary people have high wages, have money, and can afford consumption, so they work hard and become rich. But for us, since the reform and opening up, the wage income of the whole nation has been declining year by year in the total national economy, and now it is less than 30% of the GDP. It doesn't matter more and more. The common people have no money and can't afford to consume. The domestic market can only shrink day by day. They can only desperately lower the price and export to foreigners. This is equivalent to Chinese working for foreigners for nothing. And their own The environment has been polluted, resources have been wasted, and people have become the modern version of bonded labor. This is the fate of contemporary Chinese people. Do you think it is miserable? If nothing changes, the future of the Chinese people is really worrisome!
"The second question is to attract investment, expand opening up, introduce a series of preferential policies, and give preferential treatment to foreign investment. Is the result more beneficial to foreigners or Chinese? I can tell you clearly that it is more beneficial to do so. It is beneficial to foreigners. Because we leave all the opportunities to make money to foreigners. Foreign capital in China can earn profits that are not earned anywhere in the world. They can pay workers ultra-low wages without calculating the cost of pollution , to extract more surplus value, by transferring the production lines of these primary products to China, using China's resources and manpower to produce products for consumption in developed countries, leaving pollution, environmental damage, and resource depletion to China, leaving green mountains and green waters For ourselves, in a few years, our environmental pollution and resource depletion have reached the limit, and we realize that we have been fooled. But at that time, our future generations will face a land with severe resource shortage that is not suitable for human habitation. Developed countries have firmly locked China in a state of poverty, turmoil, ecological disasters, and frequent man-made disasters. We will lose the capital to compete with Western countries. By then, it will be too late.

"The third question is even more simple. Senior cadres like you have to go to the Central Party School for training and study for one year before they are about to be promoted. What to train and what to study? The outlook on life and values, because the ancestor of the Communist Party is Marx. No matter how your times change, you can’t lose this ancestor. If you lose it, you can’t call it a ‘Communist Party’. It’s called revisionism. What does the Communist Party do? In the “Communist Manifesto” It is very clear: "Communists make no secret of their views. Communists can express their entire theory in one sentence, which is to eliminate private ownership." See, Marx and Engels couldn't have made it clearer. The Communist Party is to eliminate private ownership. Only private ownership exists. Without this, the Communist Party has no basis for its own existence. Unknowingly, the Communist Party of the world, except for Cuba and North Korea, seems to no longer talk about this openly. In this way, the capitalist world You can rejoice. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, President Bush of the United States publicly stated that communism has failed. Our theoretical circles believe that the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics that we are now taking is full of vigor and vitality, which proves that We have not failed. Whether we failed or failed, everyone has their own reasons. But in my opinion, from the public elimination of private ownership to the vigorous development of the private economy; , has unknowingly made a 180-degree turn. This inversion of values ​​is the most confusing. Let people all over the world see that the Communist Party is a party without ultimate values. If it continues to develop like this, the prospect is also It’s not clear. Let me see, sooner or later, the Chinese Communist Party will still publicly state what its mission is.”

Hearing Wei Zhengdong's impassioned talk so much, some issues are not easy to discuss in depth, and some places are even taboo, so he had no choice but to change the topic and said: "Brother, these issues are not issues that people like you and I should consider. , We are small people, we just need to know how to implement it.”

Wei Zhengdong became angry when he heard it, and said to Wang Yiming: "Is this like what a senior cadre should say? You are about to rule one side, a feudal official, and you are in charge of more than 6000 million people! Put it in other places in the world , it is a medium-sized country after all. If even cadres at your level take an evasive attitude in the face of such big issues, how far the whole country will develop is really worrying!"

Wang Yiming knew that Wei Zhengdong was also doing it for his own good. This old man has been with him for more than 20 years, and the two of them are used to being free and unrestrained, so when they talk, sometimes they are very casual. When both parties should be serious, they can still be serious. Forget about it afterwards and get back together.

Wang Yiming said: "Brother, you have never been in the officialdom. The officialdom is ups and downs, and the world is dangerous! If a person wants to do something, there may be several people behind him, waiting to shoot you. These taboo words can't be said. , You can’t think about the problem, just dawdling around day by day, being a monk against the clock for a day, the safest way, maybe you can make a fortune and get promoted as soon as possible!”

Wei Zhengdong took a breather and said, "Yiming, I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry! Cadres at your level think this way, so the future of the country and the fate of the people are really worrying. From now on, you You must make up your mind to be a politician, not a politician. Don't care about your official position, but do great things for the people and do good deeds."

Wang Yiming wanted to hear more about his opinions, so he asked him: "In your opinion, what do you do to be a politician? What is a politician?"

Wei Zhengdong said: "According to my understanding, the so-called politicians have lofty goals, have superhuman vision, consider problems, and always proceed from the overall situation. One area. They consider problems, not considering the gains and losses of a moment or a place, but considering the long-term interests of all mankind, the whole country, and the whole nation. The lines, strategies, and policies they formulate are based on reality and have a long-term perspective , can stand the test of time. They will not disregard the overall situation of the nation for their own self-interest. They will not introduce short-sighted policies that set fire to neighbors' firewood piles in order to boil their own eggs. Their minds Broad and far-reaching, never consider their own success or failure, for the benefit of the whole, they can even shed blood and sacrifice. They dare to take responsibility, dare to take responsibility, and stand tall in the world. They are models for future generations to learn forever. Everyone can learn from They absorb nutrients from their bodies and feel their unique personality charm. They have gone through generations and their spirits will last forever. Only such people can be called politicians.
