I don't know if other cities in my country or even any city in the world have been as overwhelming as Beijing, where there have been so many slogans?

During the Qing Dynasty, there should have been no slogans, only notices.

If we trace back the history, it should be said that the slogan of the capital originated from the "May Fourth" and flourished during the "Movement" period.

Especially in the craziest era, there were no neon lights or billboards in the sky over the capital, and slogans were the only decorative colors of the city.

Come to think of it, as long as you come from that era, you may always have the magnificent waves of the "red ocean" all over the city in your memory.

Nowadays, the most obvious position in the capital has begun to give way to commercial advertising.

However, the slogan is not completely extinct, and it still plays the role of the city's weather vane.

It shows a city and character, and outlines a microcosm of an era.

At the end of February 1980, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions and nine other units jointly issued an initiative to the people of the whole country, especially the young people.

Carry out the "five stresses and four beauties" civilized and polite activities with the contents of "stressing civility, politeness, hygiene, order, and morality" and "beauty of the soul, language, behavior, and environment".

Soon after, the "three loves" were added.

Therefore, in response to the call, all walks of life in the capital hung new slogans, and like the joyful color of the eyebrows, all over the city, became a historical footnote in this period.

Unlike in the past, these slogans are less demagogic and no longer contain the harshness of a thunderball.

It was replaced by a smiling etiquette and began to play an active role in promoting and regulating social morality.

This cannot but be said to be a kind of progress in the social outlook.

As a result, in the midst of the busy traffic in the downtown area, our streets not only have towering commercial billboards, but also reappear eye-catching art characters, which has become a beautiful landscape of economic construction and civilized courtesy.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, it's almost at the same pace as the pace of urban development.

Ning Weimin's personal work and life have also entered a new stage.

First of all, in the unit, on the one hand, the business situation of him and Zhang Shihui has begun to fully recover.

In March, not only did the demand for tobacco and alcohol begin to slowly pick up, but the demand for electronic watches continued to rise.

They also made two color TV transactions in a row.

So the income has skyrocketed, and in the words of an old movie, it is really a golden ticket.

On the other hand, because Qiao Wanlin helped with Shang Baozhu and the "belly button", Ning Weimin's relationship with him naturally became closer.

To be honest, Ning Weimin didn't actually pay much practical anything to accomplish this this time.

Buying some high-end tobacco and alcohol, of course, is essential.

But those things were not a reward for Qiao Wanlin.

He just handed it over to Qiao Wanlin and entrusted him with something to reward the political work team.

As for what he gave Qiao Wanlin, it was actually very empty, it was just a simple verbal promise.

He told Qiao Wanlin that if he needed any in-demand supplies, he should not worry.

You can come to him or Zhang Shihui at any time, and they will definitely get what he needs at a cheaper price than the market price and help him solve his problems.

In fact, the reason why Ning Weimin is like this is not because of stinginess, but for two very important reasons.

First, he thought that after believing that Qiao Wanlin was a relationship worth maintaining for a long time and was very beneficial to himself, Ning Weimin didn't want to settle every transaction one by one.

You know, there's a secret to interpersonal relationships.

That is, they can't calculate each other too clearly, they are vague with each other, and they owe each other a little bit, which is more conducive to going back and forth in the future.

To put it bluntly, if you want to really enhance your friendship with someone, close the distance.

So since you can't make that person owe you some favors, you should try to owe this person some favors.

Even in comparison, it is more cost-effective to owe others favors than to make others owe themselves.

Because favor is also a debt, and it is a burden to everyone.

Only when you owe someone something, to get close to please the other party, can it seem logical and make the other party let down their guard to the greatest extent.

And if you keep it on your lips and put it into action.

It can also reflect the character of one's own kindness, and it is easier to gain the trust of the other party.

To use an analogy, this is actually like a long-term businessman who finds a bank in advance and takes out a small loan when he is not short of money.

When the matter is done, the businessman naturally has to thank the bank president for a thousand thanks, but he certainly will not repay him with a heavy gift.

Instead, I would often invite the president of the bank to dinner, thank you again and again, and repay it little by little.

This kind of subtle and silent relationship enhancement can not only make the relationship more stable, but also pave the way for the large loans that are really needed.

When the time comes, there is no doubt that this merchant will reap even greater benefits.

Second, gifts must be given in the right way.

The gift given should not only show due respect and sincerity, but also be what the other person needs in order to satisfy the other party.

Ning Weimin was very sure that the promise he gave should be what Qiao Wanlin really needed.

Because through several contacts, he knew that Qiao Wanlin was not a person who saw money and was greedy for small gains.

What I care more about is actually the career prospect and the rise of the position.

Especially Qiao Wanlin still wanders around the leaders every day, so he naturally knows more about the lives of the leaders.

Therefore, his commitment can help Qiao Wanlin win the favor of many leaders in private.

So once Qiao Wanlin's position is promoted, it means that his backstage foundation is more stable.

This is the basic relationship loop. 

Sure enough, Qiao Wanlin was very able to comprehend Ning Weimin's kindness, and he was not dissatisfied with Ning Weimin's promise in return.

I didn't try to abuse such a convenience to make a little money for myself.

The only time he used it was in mid-March, when he helped the head of the trade union buy an imported color TV at a price of 500 yuan below the market price.

So, as Ning Weimin expected, Qiao Wanlin really began to take on the position of secretary of the trade union.

Salaries and grades have also been formally raised.

At this time, on the contrary, Qiao Wanlin began to feel that he had taken a big advantage, and he was a little restless for the favor of five hundred yuan.

To be honest, he really didn't expect the price given by Ning Weimin to be so cheap.

That's a lot of money equivalent to an average person's salary for a year.

Of course, this made him a little uneasy, but he couldn't hold his breath for the first time.

So he privately revealed that he planned to take Ning Weimin to see his uncle.

I also want to repay the favor and repay Ning Weimin's help with an opportunity to pave the way for the future.

But unexpectedly, Ning Weimin actually rejected his kindness.

That's what I said.

"Brother Qiao, I'm not going. It stands to reason that as a junior, I should go to meet him. But after all, your uncle is the leader of our political work team, and he is also in charge of the labor department. ”

"I'm going to come to the door and let others know, it's easy to provoke suspicion. Even if we are innocent, we will not be innocent, but it will be true, and even affect your reputation. ”

"I understand your good intentions, but I also have to make it clear that I really don't want to do this. I just want to mix up with Zhang Shihui. And I'm not like you, an orphan with no help at home. You can't go it alone in the workplace. ”

"So to be honest, I won't waste that effort. What's more, for what I want to do, it is enough to have your help. I don't have to wander around in front of the leader. I know you as well as the leader, it's different. ”

I have to say that these words completely show that Ning Weimin has no ambition, which is really in line with Qiao Wanlin's intentions.

He was actually a little worried that Ning Weimin also wanted to climb up.

If two people follow the same path in a unit, this will inevitably lead to hidden contradictions.

But now he found that not only could they talk to each other, but their interests were completely complementary.

For a person like Ning Weimin, who is smart, who can understand the principles of life, and who knows how many pounds and taels he has, of course a sense of closeness will arise spontaneously.

is even more willing to compensate for its convenience in other ways.
