"Have you gained a lot in the past few days? Have you been inspired? Have you found any material to sing and cry about?"

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a place in China. I originally thought that I was also a person who had been a literary soldier in the Shudu Military Region for a few years and had seen the hard days of 100,000 people in the mountains on the front line, but now that I think about it, it is still too tender. ”

After a few days of charity and environmental protection career on the front line, Gu Biao took advantage of the lunch break to sit beside Xiao Sui with a dinner plate in a businesslike manner, chatting very politely, and then got Xiao Sui's emotion.

Before Xiao Sui came, he really didn't expect that there was a desert in this world that could be close to the rolling Yellow River. In the past few days, she has seen some obscure university professors who have been studying desertification control in the local area since the 60s, as well as farmers who have been insisting on spontaneous grass management for many years, and she thinks these people are really respectable.

In her heart, she also changed from wanting to save a manuscript to participate in this year's Mao Dun Literature Award competition, to wanting to write down the singing and crying deeds of these people, and her psychological burden has been relaxed a lot, and even the old problem of insomnia due to overthinking has become lighter.

"Mr. Gu, Writer Xiao, what are you talking about? ”

The two were talking about something, and a rather blind CCTV female reporter came over and greeted her with a smile. Gu Biao didn't know her very well, and in the past few days, he only knew her surname Xu, so he called her reporter Xu.

Gu Biao replied casually: "It's nothing, talk about the deeds of these unsung heroes who have insisted on sand control for many years, and see if there is anything to sing and cry about." ”

Reporter Xu changed his expression of admiration: "Writer Xiao is a top student of the Literature Institute, and there are so many best-selling books, what he writes must be very outstanding." ”

Xiao Sui smiled modestly: "Don't dare to be, you CCTV people, you have been shooting very well these days." ”

Reporter Xu took the opportunity to take over the conversation, took out a videotape, and pushed it in front of Gu Biao:

"I'm about to ask Mr. Gu for advice - this is an edit of interviews and documentaries in the past few days, does Mr. Gu want to take a look at it first? We will fully respect the interviewee, if you feel that you want to remove or add something, you can always tell us, the director and the photographer will cooperate. ”

It turned out that what she was holding in her hand was the shooting results of the CCTV documentary crew in the past few days.

Generally speaking, documentaries pay attention to respecting facts, shooting what they see, and rarely soliciting the opinions of the subjects being recorded.

Gu Biao has this treatment, firstly, because the good deeds he has done this time are too great, and secondly, because he has too good a relationship with the high-level in the domestic media circle. Therefore, the ordinary film crew members sent by CCTV are eager to give him face and shake a few more times in front of him to get acquainted.

However, Gu Biao didn't have any special requirements, so he was happy to pretend to be high-profile: "I don't have any opinions, just take pictures realistically." ”

"It's really frank, so high-spirited, admire and admire. Reporter Xu took back the tape and praised it.

However, she was obviously reluctant to waste the opportunity to talk to Gu Biao, so she took two steps and didn't really walk away, and turned back to ask without words: "Mr. Gu, can I interview you with a question?" ”

"Just say. Gu Biao straightened his collar and looked upright.

Reporter Xu hesitated for a moment, organized the language, and then spoke: "Until last year, you still had a public office, and at the beginning of last year, our TV station and Renren Daily also spent a lot of time reporting on your deeds as the first doctoral student majoring in international relations at Georgetown University's Wales School of Diplomacy in the United States, and you are also a doctoral student personally led by Professor Kissinger, who resolutely returned to China to serve after completing your studies.

In such a favorable situation, what made you choose to give up your career and choose to focus on business? We know that you have achieved amazing business success while working and studying in the United States, but we don't think this monetary benefit is anything compared to the height of your future that you may reach.

As for the reason for your resignation in the middle of last year, we didn't think it was a big deal after gathering information from all sides – at the end of last year, as something in the south was recharacterized, your image has become very positive. If you're willing to hand over your business to someone else, there's a chance you'll get back to business. So, what is the bottom factor that motivates you to make a decision? We can all tell these days that you are not a money-loving person. ”

Gu Biao wanted to laugh slightly, he didn't know how the other party could see that "he is not a person who loves money".

It is estimated that it can be seen from the fact that he donated 10 million US dollars to plant trees to control desertification.

It can only be said that in 85 years, domestic reporters were not very familiar with the capitalist routine of US imperialism that engaged in charity while making a lot of money.

However, the question still needs to be answered.

Gu Biao pretended to think about it, and threw out an answer that he had already brewed - of course, his brewing was intended to be written into the history books, not for Reporter Xu's question today, the other party just happened to hit the muzzle, so let's use it.

"The reason why I don't want to develop in my career anymore is because I know my limitations - I am because I am at a special juncture of the times, eight years ago, by chance, just graduated from the second year of junior high school, and went to the countryside for a few months to take the first resumed college entrance examination.

So I actually skipped other people's high school years, went to college at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and caught up with those opportunities that suited me to play and could produce results, and I achieved so much in eight years.

At my speed, in terms of career, it is like riding a rocket, but I am also deeply aware of my shortcomings and cognitive defects. Because I have lived and studied and worked in developed areas of China all my life, the most inland city I have visited before coming to Yuzhou to control desertification is Luzhou, the provincial capital of Hui Province.

So I don't know much about the grassroots, and I don't know about the people's suffering. When I was a civil servant, I was already treated at the level of the Fu Department before I left my post, and when I later came to work in a state-owned enterprise, I was an enterprise with the treatment at the department level, that is, the leader of Huaxing Communications, although I only did it for a few months.

I think that if I continue to be an official with such a resume and such a level, it will be impossible to see the suffering of the bottom and remote areas. In layman's terms, it is to detach from the people.

And at my age, if I continue to be an official, I may rise to some heights in the future that I dare not imagine, and I feel that it is a bit risky to let a person who has not been deeply involved in the masses take on such a responsibility, so I am very self-aware. If you continue to be a patriot in the business world, you can not only make contributions, but you will not lose any public weapons because you are separated from the people and do not go deep into the masses.

Even if I lose my eyes, it is nothing more than losing some money in my own business - being a businessman requires all kinds of enterprising professionals, and being an official needs talents with good character, stable personality and comprehensive vision, and making the best use of people. ”

When Gu Biao was talking, there were already a lot of other visitors who had come to inspect the work and report on charity this time, including reporters, photographers, and leaders of relevant local departments.

Speaking from his heart, Gu Biao's level before leaving the system was almost the same level as the local mayor in Yuzhou (prefecture-level city). After listening to Gu Biao's words, the local people were all in awe.

There are still people in this world who are so indifferent to fame and fortune! He did not continue to be an official because he was always vigilant and self-motivated, and he was afraid that he would have no grassroots experience and a comprehensive understanding of the country, and that he would make mistakes in decision-making after his sudden promotion and cause losses to the people!

This kind of reasoning, in those who want to be officials and want to break their heads, even if they really want to break their heads, they can't think of it.

"It's so great, I think it's absolutely necessary to make this documentary. Reporter Xu recorded quickly, and felt that it was necessary to make up a few shots in a different way.

Even if Gu Biao himself refuses to say it again to the camera, it can be processed as "interviewing the people around him, the people he has worked with, and his impressions", and then paraphrase it in the third person.

The point is that this view is too novel, and no official in China who has gone to sea before can say such a thing. Originally, what everyone heard the most was that they felt that being an official did not make money, and they wanted to make more money in an upright manner, so they went into business.

Of course, you can't blame others for not saying it, it's really that other people don't reach this height at the age of 22, and "lose the opportunity to reach the grassroots" at the age of 22.

Others want to break away from the masses, and they can't soar.

At the same time, this documentary and interview, after being dealt with like this, there is another highlight that laymen like to see, that is:

Boss Gu spends a huge sum of 10 million US dollars a year to plant trees in the northwest to control desertification, perhaps in addition to charity, there is also a level of purpose, that is, to "give him the opportunity to contact the people, go deep into the masses, and see what China's poor and difficult places look like."

This reason is definitely very dramatic, and it will also be very popular. It can definitely form the big boss in Feng Lao Pao'er's movie "Party A and Party B", "I am sick to eat lobster and geoduck every day, and I can't do it if I don't eat it, I offend people!

It's just that Gu Xiao is not a story, he is a real person.

I dare not say it in the 90s, but it is estimated that in the remaining years of the 80s, until the emergence of the Internet in the early 90s, Gu Xiao will become the image in the hearts of Chinese, and when I think of the question of "what should the richest and most entrenched person in the world look like when he is not grounded", it will naturally pop up.

The media didn't let Gu Biao wait long, and in March, relevant reports from CCTV and "Renren Daily", and even the tidbits of the documentary clips, had already been published and broadcast.

"The resignation of Gu Biao, a well-known returnee patriot".

Gu Biao: Every year, tens of millions of dollars are donated to help build desertification control in Northwest China. ”

What Gu Biao said began to be sung as chicken soup, and what he didn't say began to appear as fake chicken soup, pretending to be sung under his name, just like a primary school student who couldn't write an essay fabricated Mr. Lu Xun's quotations.
