Chapter 22: Unhealthy Winds
In addition to the collision of values, the beginning of the boom in going abroad, and the booming tide of marriage, the most significant feature of this period is the resurgence of "unhealthy trends".
The term "unhealthy tendencies" has appeared for about fifty or sixty years, starting after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and is still in use today.
The reason why we are stubborn in our society is that some people say that it is determined by the nature of our humane society, and some people say that it is caused by the lack of supervision of power.
But in fact, the above two statements can only determine the wind direction and strength of the "unhealthy wind".
And the most fundamental reason for this wind is because of the selfishness that can never be eradicated in people.
Don't think that the political system of the developed countries in the West can guarantee that it is as clear as water and as clear as a mirror.
Even if some countries control the "three publics" better than we do, how can we explain political donations and insider trading, and why do they always have scandals in their political arenas?
Why are so many officials always hired by a consortium after completing their term of office, or can they live a more prosperous life through "successful investment"?
Is it true that the goal of participating in politics is to serve the people?
It's nothing more than changing the soup but not the medicine, conforming to different system rules and changing a trick.
Of course, from a certain point of view, this phenomenon also has a lot to do with the degree of social and economic development.
Because if we analyze history, we will find that the richer the society, the more corrupt the law.
This principle is also very simple, you just want to be greedy, you have to have something to be greedy for.
And the richer the society, the more ways to enjoy it, and the harder it is to resist temptation.
Therefore, it is precisely because the economic development situation is getting better and better that the material supply has been greatly improved. This malaise that originated from human nature had a breeding ground for successful reproduction, and it naturally began to spread.
This is called "invigorating the economy and corrupting the atmosphere."
Therefore, although since 1981, the Beijing Municipal Party Committee has carried out many educational activities throughout the city.
For example, the discussion of "serving the people and being responsible to the people".
There is also a ruthless brake on the unhealthy trend of using public funds to eat and drink lavishly and engage in "related households."
and the recent education on "opposing the corruption of capitalist ideology and adhering to the red ideology".
But it's always a palliative, not a cure. During each educational activity, there may be some restraint, but once this gust of wind passes, the old state of affairs will soon be revived, and even the trend will become more and more intense.
Let's take gift-giving as an example, the current situation is that not only the content of gift-giving has been enriched, but the scope of gift exchange has also expanded.
Do things like in the past. Pay attention to sending "explosive packs", "grenades", and "twenty rings".
Nowadays, these things are not only still retained, but the grade has been improved, and there are more fashionable goods such as watches, cameras, tape recorders, and color TV tickets. It also includes large road goods such as thermos cups, blankets, and quilt covers.
In the past, gifts were only given to cadres who had the right to manage affairs, but now they must be taken care of from top to bottom.
The most typical example is that in this year, the words "electric tiger" appeared.
This refers to the behavior of individual electricians who use their power to blackmail users.
In the same vein, people from the telephone office are among them.
The additional expenditure of these two telephones like Hong Yan's armed forces was more than double that compared with when the old house was being repaired.
And these workers have also seen the market, and their "kindness" to him for food and drink, and cigarettes and alcohol is completely skillful, and there is no longer any expression of gratitude or surprise.
As for the problem of eating and drinking, since 1980, when Chen Aiwu, the chef of "Fengze Garden", reported the turmoil of the Minister of Commerce, by making an example, such a situation of leading cadres eating at low prices has been effectively curbed, and there has really been no similar situation since then.
However, this does not mean that the ideological consciousness of the cadres has really been raised, and no one will take advantage of the public government anymore.
On the contrary, due to the development of the economy and the prosperity of commerce, the life of various organs, enterprises, and institutions is much better.
Where is the need for leading cadres to spend their own money to eat?
And not only did they eat and drink from above, but they also began to eat and drink from below.
In order to prevent criticism, they often set up a "working meal" in the name of a meeting.
As a result, various exchange meetings, trade fairs, fairs, trade fairs, trade fairs, order fairs, transportation meetings, tax meetings, cultural meetings, education meetings, afforestation meetings, family planning meetings, and ...... This and that, there are so many of them, it's like starting a meeting game.
There is a tacit understanding between brother units, you do it once, I will do it once. Not only does not lose face, but everyone has more opportunities to enjoy, so why not?
Needless to say, no matter how people in that unit are in this period, being a delegate to a meeting is the biggest advantage or disadvantage.
Not only can you enjoy your appetite, but you can even get gifts.
The only thing to do is to come back and convey the spirit of the meeting by the way.
It's beautiful, it's wonderful, it's just OK.
Only no one cares how much of the country's precious funds will be wasted by eating and drinking like this.
No one will realize that there are big fish and big meat, lest an unpleasant banquet will also attract rats and cockroaches.
No, a dog like You San, by chance, it was easy to find out that there was a big hole to drill.
To tell the truth, although You San, this kid, is obscene, but his brain is active, and he has lived a good life for more than half a year.
First of all, since he was assigned by "Da Dehe" to be in charge of "Zhushikou Cinema" and "Daguanlou Cinema", his monthly fixed income has been 500.
Secondly, he usually took a "sucker" at night and pretended to be a worker militia to "catch hooligans".
It's fun and cheats money, it's so beautiful that it's bubbling.
But even so, he was not satisfied, and as soon as he ate the sweetness, he privately made no less than ten armbands in a row, such as "transportation", "sanitation", "inspection", "taxation", and "industry and commerce".
Since then, even while reselling movie tickets every day, he has wandered around and semi-openly operated this side business.
If you see a spitter, a paper thrower, a stall, a bicycle, and a bicycle, you will immediately put on your armbands and be fined.
It has become a "fake city god" that is wider than the police.
Can the fanny pack not bulge day by day?
As the so-called mosquito legs also have to sip out a mouthful of oil, it is really insatiable, and it will be more and more damage.
As a result, at noon one day, "You San" and "Sucker" caught the two Sichuan people who were spitting and throwing cigarette butts while shopping in the "Dashilar".
That's no nonsense, the more outsiders have more money, and they immediately issued a fine for fake three times, and they insisted on fining each person five yuan.
Unexpectedly, these two Sichuan people bought things with money, and they only had more than one dollar on them, so they really couldn't pay the fine.
You San and the others were not happy, and they bluffed again, insisting on seeing the work documents of the Sichuan people, and threatening to ask their unit for money.
Where are those two Sichuan people doing? What a shame, so I pleaded for mercy.
They claimed to be salesmen of a winery in Sichuan, and this year the capital opened its mouth to foreign wine, and they came to the capital on a business trip to discuss business. and does not work locally.
They also said that they didn't know that the rules of the capital were so big, and they were really strict. This time, please raise your hand high, and don't make any more mistakes next time, okay?
Okay? Of course not.
The characteristic of You San is that he loves to pinch soft persimmons. As soon as he heard that these two people were from the winery, the wine bugs made trouble again, and he thought that he had to knock out a bottle of good wine. Where will you let it go in vain.
But he didn't expect that the next thing was not exactly the same as he thought.
Because although the Sichuan people offered to give him some benefits, they did not give him wine, but invited them to dinner.
Then where did You San believe it? He said, "You can't pay the fine, and you still invite us to dinner? Who are you fooling?"
But another Sichuan person also understood at this time, and hurriedly helped explain.
Originally, there was a rule that any enterprise that came to Beijing to do business had to report to the local office in Beijing first. These offices in Beijing are then responsible for liaising with the relevant departments in Beijing.
Due to the increasing number of wine merchants coming to Beijing for negotiations, the Sichuan office recently organized a sugar and wine exchange meeting with the sugar and wine company.
Today is the second day, and the meeting will take place in the "Dashilar" auditorium.
At noon, I also booked a banquet at the Qianmen "Judequan" head office to entertain the participants for dinner.
To put it bluntly, what the two Sichuan people wanted was to take "You San" and "Sucker" to fish in troubled waters and eat the public, instead of paying for it themselves.
Of course, that meal of roast duck is worth more than a fine, and the "sucker" doesn't care who eats it. As soon as I heard it, I was happy and nodded busily.
But "You San" hesitated, insisted on asking clearly, and said, "That's your meeting, can you let us eat?"
Sichuan people did not hesitate to pat their chests and guarantee tickets.
"Why don't you let me eat? Let me tell you, there are more than 20 people from more than 20 wineries in Sichuan and people from various commercial departments in the capital, and more than 200 people are eating.......
In this way, then "You San" and "Sucker" followed the two Sichuan people to "Judequan".
Sure enough, the actual situation is the same as what the Sichuan people say.
On that day, the restaurant also received leaders in addition to the second floor, and the entire first floor was already covered.
Although the door was guarded, it was to prevent individual visitors from entering.
As soon as the gatekeeper heard that they claimed to be holding a sugar and wine exchange meeting, they were directly let in, and they didn't even ask which winery people asked, and there were no formalities, and the management was very lax.
When you look inside, it's even more so.
Such a big restaurant, so many people, bustling, and so lively that it is like a big opera, who cares to ask you where you came from.
You can sit down when you see an empty seat, and as long as there are enough ten people at a table, you can open a table.
So, on the contrary, strangers kept warmly inviting "You San" to sit down, as if they were looking forward to relatives, so they could start the table quickly.
"You San" was not stupid, and soon found a round table where six people had already been seated.
As soon as they passed, of course, they were all happy.
So as soon as he said hello, the waiter began to walk the dishes, and soon they were filled with cold dishes, as well as liquor, beer, and high-end cigarettes.
The Sichuan people said proudly at this time.
"How about my friend, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"You San" immediately understood what he meant, and immediately handed back the piece he had just punished to the Sichuan people under the table.
Then he also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to the Sichuan people a cigarette, leaned over with a smile, and asked quietly.
"Ouch, how can you eat so well in a meeting? This meal plus roast duck, how can it be twenty yuan?"
How do you know that the Sichuan people pouted.
"What is this, this is a light meal at noon, only ten hot dishes. Don't you know, when we finish the meeting in the afternoon and go back to our own restaurant in the 'Sichuan Office' in the evening, then it will be called hearty. At least twenty-two hot dishes must be prepared in the evening. When the time comes, there will be more people eating, and as long as there is a department that can get a little touch, people will be sent. You have to eat at least twice per table. That's the good thing about meetings, we have three days of meetings, but every day......"
At this time, this table of hot dishes also began to be on the table, so no one needed to greet anyone, and then be polite to anyone.
Take care of yourself, Marry's hands on the chopsticks, rub it!
The most interesting thing is that halfway through the meal, the group of leaders sitting at the main table have to go to each table to toast.
Each of them clinked glasses with people one by one with a smile on their faces, greeted everyone, and invited everyone to eat and drink well.
And said again and again, "Comrades have worked hard, comrades must take care of their health and do their work well." ”
And the one who walked to the table of "You San" was a fat middle-aged leader, and he actually shook hands with "You San".
He greeted him very politely, "Your comrade is very young, and it must be very hard to run the specific grassroots work on both sides, right?"
"You San" didn't have stage fright, he smiled in a blink of an eye, and complimented him in a timely manner.
"Thank you for the leader's concern, in fact, no matter how bitter it is, it can't be compared with the leader. Please also take care of your body, as the saying goes, the train runs fast, it all depends on the headband!"
When the leader heard this, he laughed, "Okay, good, you comrade is very good at speaking, I'll give you another drink!"
After a glass of dryness, the fat leader went to the next table with a wine glass on his face and toasted, but he didn't see any flaws at all.
And when the banquet was over, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and "You San" and "Sucker" had been eaten until the end.
When they left that day, they had a great harvest.
Not only did he lose a stomach full of good things, but he also took oil paper to make two large bags of cooked food that he had not eaten during the banquet, filled three bottles of unfinished liquor, and took away two boxes of cigarettes.
And the most lacking in virtue is when "You San" pretended to be an acquaintance and sent the fat leader to the car.
He created an opportunity for the "sucker" to give the fat leader's wallet to the "Buddha", and earned more than 30 yuan in addition.
But it's nothing, as the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Sichuan people said that the meeting would be held for three days, and the words like this every day took root in the heart of "You San".
And with this successful experience of rubbing rice, "You San" and "Sucker" also grasped the mystery at once.
As a result, that night, the two of them were bold and went to the "Sichuan Office" to find a prescription to grab medicine again.
Since then, they have responded to the phrase "support the bold and starve the faint-hearted", they were out of control, completely intoxicated with the joy of holding meetings everywhere, and became "professional households".
