"Grandpa, I still have some thoughts about today's matter. I obviously wholeheartedly work for the party and the country, so why does Li Changjiang still have problems with me and set up a trap for me?" Liang Jiangtao asked.
He had unconditional trust in his grandfather, and he hoped that his grandfather could help him clear up his doubts.
This question has actually troubled him for many years.
Not only now, before his rebirth, he had also been immersed in the officialdom for twenty years, and had encountered such things countless times.
Before his rebirth, he didn't say a single unnecessary word and only knew how to work, but he still encountered a lot of ill will!
Are some people born to create conflicts? Just like to step on others?
"Dasun, when it comes to this issue, you can't look at it emotionally. You must learn to be rational. What is rationality? You must think more about problems from other people's perspectives and see things from the perspective of the overall situation. I have to say that people are subjective. Animals naturally believe in themselves and doubt others, and no one is immune to this."
"Don't think that senior cadres are broad-minded and tolerant. In fact, on the contrary, the more senior cadres are, the more things they see, the more cruel and complex the struggles they experience, and the more they understand the roughness of human nature, and everything will be learned from the lowest point. Consider the worst case scenario and stick to the bottom line. In this case, the attitude becomes more clear, and there is no middle link."
"You represent Li Yanqing, and the relationship between Li Yanqing and Li Changjiang is a zero-sum game. Whoever is stronger will be weaker. Once the strength is lost, many political ideas cannot be implemented. This is a very realistic situation. question. What's more, today's topic is a direct conflict between two ideas, tit for tat, but neither is wrong. If yours is implemented, his must be shelved. What will be lost at the same time is his authority and prestige! This matter is like this Well, what about the next thing? If it happens a few more times, wouldn't he be marginalized? So, for his power and what he can do with his power, he must do something to you to stop him. Your momentum!”
"Many political struggles are superficially about the struggle for power, but in fact they are fundamentally about differences in political ideas. This has been the case since the war years. No one has a clear vision of the future. You talk about this way, and he talks about that way. In essence, they are all different. You have good intentions, but you can only choose one. What should you do? You can only compete with others who have better skills. With the reform and opening up to the present, the economy is developing rapidly, society is changing with each passing day, people's lives are turned upside down, and the understanding and thinking of officials have also formed a pole. A big test. Human beings are different. Everyone has different knowledge and understanding. They may have completely different views on the same thing. Conflicts are inevitable. From this perspective, political struggle is more of a struggle of ideas and a key to reform and development. A necessary product..."
Mr. Liang continued to teach earnestly, from the war years to reform and opening up, and analyzed the profound principles.
Liang Jiangtao listened very carefully.
"Since political ideas are different, factions will naturally arise. Of course, the formation of factions has more complex factors, such as blood ties, hometown friendship, favors, teachers and students, and common growth experiences and revolutionary backgrounds... these The problems are intertwined with each other, and they are inseparable. The only thing that is certain is that contradictions can never be fundamentally avoided."
"When leading cadres reach a certain level, they must cultivate their own team in order to ensure that their political ideas have a basic base of support. For example, isn't there a department director in Li Changjiang's camp who originally supports you? There must be some, just because of the changes in the camp. However, on non-principled issues, he will choose not to speak out. After your debate and speech, I believe you have convinced most of the department directors. But if you really want to vote, you will not be able to get unanimous votes. There are still some will oppose you. This is the power of factions. Of course, it is another situation for Li Changjiang to assess the situation and take the initiative to express his support for your views."
"For another example, in a leadership team, you will find that there are people of all kinds. Some are in charge of the overall situation, some are making suggestions, some are doing trivial work, some are taking on urgent, difficult and dangerous tasks, and some are responsible for holding down the situation and dealing with difficult people. There are peacemakers, and some seem to be big fools who can’t do anything or can’t do it well. But why do such people exist? Grandpa tells you that this kind of person is actually very important. He is the lubricant of interpersonal relationships! Although he He can't work, but he can talk and adjust the atmosphere. If the team is full of capable people, they will be able to support each other, and conflicts will easily become uncontrollable! There is another kind of person who is more important, and that is the opponent! In a team, there will always be They cannot be monolithic! Because once they do, it is easy to lose control and make mistakes! Opponents are also supervisors in a sense, they are brake pads. It seems that the efficiency is reduced, but it greatly improves the safety factor! Pay attention to the opposition of dialectics Unity, without opposition, there is no unity! An important goal that politicians need to achieve is balance! When the sun is at its peak, it will be wilted, and when the moon is full, it will be in decline! There is no such thing as the sun being at its peak forever!"
"You see, everyone has different characteristics, just like different ingredients, with different tastes, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty. They are all important. Managing a big country is like cooking small dishes. The most important thing for the superior is to use people, which is to use these ingredients to make food. Delicious food! The key is the harmony of the five flavors! In ancient Chinese tradition, the prime minister is called the minister of spoons. Many famous prime ministers are chefs, such as Yi Yin and Guan Zhong. In fact, the principles are the same. Some people are very capable. Strong, but what I’m making today is Cantonese Kung Fu Soup, so I can only throw it away!”
"What is politics? Politics is a game, a struggle. To put it bluntly, it means having more friends and supporters and fewer enemies and opponents, so that you can smoothly realize your intentions and realize your political ideas! In the officialdom , Preaching is the most useless, you have to make the other party sincerely convinced. If that doesn’t work, then make him surrender! This is what you need to pay attention to in the future on your way to politics!"
"You are a secretary now, doing all kinds of work, but one day you will step into a leadership position and be in charge of government. When the time comes, these will all come in handy! Good grandson, you are so smart, you should think carefully about what grandpa said. ." Mr. Liang's words contained ardent expectations for Liang Jiangtao.
"Thank you, grandpa! I will definitely keep it in mind!" Liang Jiangtao said movedly.
Jade cannot be used without polishing, and people cannot understand it without learning.
No matter how talented you are, you still need the guidance of an expert to avoid detours and bring out your own brilliance!
Liang Jiangtao was moved, but also full of pride!
