"I'm afraid it's not as easy as you think. The No. 1 leader smiled and shook his head slightly, and said with a sigh: "The Americans have proposed that they hope to borrow our country's existing Soviet-made weapons and ammunition production lines to produce all kinds of guns and ammunition for the Afghan resistance group.

The Soviet Government also sent a message of goodwill and withdrew 50 kilometers of the troops deployed along China's northern border. Walking a tightrope in the international political circle, if you are not careful, you may offend both the Americans and the Soviets!"

"Grandpa, do I think you always make simple questions complicated?" Yang Weiping asked with a straight face: "Now the whole world knows that my country is opening its doors to do business with all countries. As long as the other party is willing to pay, we can provide any product.

We follow the rules of a free economy, and no government is qualified to dictate our economic policies. The Americans can't do it, and neither can the Soviets! The Afghan guerrillas want weapons, they can, they can buy them with money! If they don't have money, they can use mineral resources as collateral.

We will never do such a loss-making deal as providing assistance to Annan free of charge back then. I think that in the international arena, we don't talk about politics at all, we only recognize money! We only recognize mineral resources! We are simply international trade, and we do not mix any political factors. ”

"If only it were as simple as you said!" Chief One shook his head and laughed.

This godgrandson of his, everything is good, but he is too immature in politics.

Many veteran comrades in China are demanding that the central authorities delegate power to the localities, so that the localities can have more autonomy and facilitate further invigorating the economy. However, only his godgrandson openly sang the opposite tune, and even openly pointed out that China is still a weak country, and that it is pure nonsense for a weak country to engage in democratic politics, and only the centralization of power by the central government is in line with the current national conditions.

I don't know how many local officials have been offended by such arguments!

I really don't know anything about politics, but the Red Mansion Club he built. The gathering of a large number of children of veteran comrades of the Central Committee is tantamount to weaving a network of interpersonal relations throughout the country, and the political energy contained in it. It's not small. It can be said that his move is tantamount to unintentionally inserting willows into the willows.

Some of the children of veteran cadres are under the banner of elders in the family. Some people have already questioned and accused the party of using various approvals to resell materials in demand and make a lot of money.

At a time when these two factions are arguing about this issue. The establishment of the Red Mansion Club has made this big problem invisible. This made the old comrades who had opinions and opinions on Yang Weiping in the past feel that they owed Director Xiao Yang a big favor.

Regarding Yang Weiping's achievements in the business field, no one in China dares to say that he can't do it.

With his support, many factories with poor economic benefits have become vigorous and energetic after being contracted.

The children of cadres participate in the market competition of the commodity economy with their real skills. It has not only invigorated the local economy, but also paid the taxes due to the state, and some factories have even achieved export earnings, which makes it impossible for those veteran cadres who once questioned and accused the children of high-ranking cadres of their work style to be inward-looking.

It can be said that Yang Weiping has now virtually become the leading core figure of their generation.

He was very clever in running the business of the members of the Red House Clubhouse. The business areas cover more than a dozen different industries such as machinery, textiles, medicine, electronics, home appliances, clothing, shoes and hats, food, animal husbandry, breeding, deep processing of agricultural and sideline products, catering, hotels, culture and entertainment, and real estate.

In addition, it has also ingeniously created a chain of supermarkets such as Carrefour and Wal-Mart international department store chains that are running by foreign businessmen in China, such as Heart-to-Heart, Hand in Hand, BBK, Wanjiale, and Fulinmen, and set up a logistics company specializing in transportation, so as to avoid competition among members of the Red Mansion.

Driven by the Red Mansion, private enterprises have made the development of the domestic private individual economy more and more rapid.

The debate within the party about the surname of the capital or the surname of the society is getting quieter and quieter. This is due to the establishment of the Red Chamber, because the members of the Red Mansion include almost all the children and relatives of the families of most of the veteran cadres of the party, government, and military of the Central Committee.

"Wei Ping, how many members does the Red Mansion have now?" the No. 1 leader suddenly asked.

Yang Weiping was stunned at first, why did grandpa think so big? After thinking for a while, he replied: "There are 128 officially registered members and 319 reserve members. Grandpa, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"

"It's nothing, just ask. Chief One said with a smile.

"Grandpa, it can't be that anyone has any opinion of the Red Mansion, right?" Yang Weiping asked with a sensitive frown.

"Walk right, walk straight, and be upright and not afraid of crooked shadows, even if someone has an opinion, you don't need to pay attention to it. The No. 1 chief Zhengse said: "The only thing you have to consider is how to ensure that the members of the Red Mansion do not make mistakes and do not violate the law and discipline!"

"This is a must!" Yang Weiping replied solemnly: "The Red Chamber has a clear purpose and charter, as well as a strict code of conduct and code. This is the iron law of the Red Mansion, and there is no human favor to talk about. ”

"There are hundreds of people, all sorts of people. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds!" The No. 1 chief sighed and said: "Our party constitution, party discipline, and national law are not strict, but there are still people who continue to violate rules and disciplines.

This man is the most complex and inscrutable animal in this world. As the old saying goes, it is difficult to draw the skin of a tiger and the bones, and you don't know the face but not the heart. Now that the material links of our country are gradually enriched, there are more and more temptations of all kinds. Our party members and cadres are also becoming more and more difficult to manage. ”

"Grandpa, since you've been talking about this all the time. Personally, I don't know whether to say it or not. Yang Weiping looked at the old man quite seriously and said.

"Speak!" said the No. 1 leader with a solemn nod.

"Our party has always paid attention to taking facts as the basis and the law as the criterion. However, in fact, it is often the rule of man that is greater than the rule of law, and human affection is greater than the law. Yang Weiping said with a solemn expression: "I once said that the privileged class is the inevitable product and image of social development. This is not a matter of the will of any individual or political party. However, no matter how great the privilege is, it cannot be greater than the law!

If privileges are not subject to judicial supervision and supervision, they will inevitably breed corruption! Again, this is not something that any individual or political party can control. Therefore, I think that how to improve China's existing judicial system should be more important than economic work!"

"Do you have any good suggestions?" said the No. 1 leader, bowing slightly. Zhengrong asked.

"First of all, there must not be any ambiguity in the content of the provisions of laws and regulations. Yang Weiping said as he picked up the panda cigarette on the coffee table. First ordered one for my grandfather, then ordered one for myself, took two deep puffs, and continued:

"A nail is a nail. Riveting is riveting. What kind of behavior, what kind of law has been broken, and what should be done. All should be strictly and meticulously divided and explained. For example, dereliction of duty, how much money is embezzled, how to punish it, what is the minimum sentence of a few years, the maximum sentence of a few years, and what serious circumstances are how to do it.

Whoever commits a crime will be punished in any way. Don't feel like a rubber band like now, stretch it if you want to stretch it, and shorten it if you want to shorten it. What kind of situation is considered a serious circumstance needs to be explained in detail and in detail. ”

The number one leader nodded silently as he smoked a cigarette.

Yang Weiping reached out and gently dusted off the cigarette ash. Under the gesture of the No. 1 leader's eyes, he continued: "The judicial system also needs to be reformed. The jury mechanism may be introduced in the course of court proceedings. ”

"Who is the jury?" asked Chief Number earnestly.

"Of course, they are people's representatives!" Yang Weiping replied without hesitation: "China's people's congress deputies are actually the same as parliamentarians in Western society. However, when we are electing and appointing people's deputies, we are involved in too many relationships of personal affection and face.

First of all, people's deputies cannot be selected from among incumbent party and government cadres! Party and government cadres cannot run for election as deputies to the people's congresses! People's deputies represent the masses of the people, and can be workers, teachers, entrepreneurs, self-employed people, peasants, and civil servants, but they absolutely cannot be party and government cadres!

If party and government cadres are allowed to be elected as people's deputies, our people's congresses, congresses, and standing committees will not be able to perform their proper supervisory functions. Because this is like our party and government cadres, who are both athletes and referees, and on the sports field, they can play as much as they want. ”

The No. 1 leader nodded solemnly and said: "Well! This proposal is very good, and it should be like this! We must not let the big and standing committee become a mere formality! If you have any ideas, say them! Let go and say that there are no chiefs and subordinates here, only grandfathers and grandchildren. ”

"Grandpa, I personally have some thoughts about the performance appraisal of cadres. Yang Weiping said solemnly: "Some time ago, when I went to the following companies for inspection, I heard such a thing. I don't understand it. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Leader No. 1.

"This happened in a township in a county in a city in Nam Ho province. Yang Weiping's eyes became extraordinarily deep and he said slowly: "There are two neighboring villages in this township, and when there was a major drought last year, the village chiefs of the two villages organized drought fighting work. It was very hard to lead the villagers to dig wells and ditches.

The village chief of Village A should do whatever he wants to do after digging the well. The head of Village B, based on his years of experience and common sense, predicts that this drought will inevitably be a major flood. Therefore, he did not sit idle after digging the well and digging the ditch, but led the villagers to repair the flood control dam and drainage ditch, and asked the villagers to overhaul the houses for a round and strengthen them.

Then, the rainy season came, and flash floods hit. Nothing happened in Village B, and the entire village was washed away, and many people died. But the head of Village A is also conscientious, leading the villagers to fight the flood and rescue the rescue, and was almost swept away by the flood.

After the flood, the higher authorities sent a team to investigate and assess the disaster. As a result, the village chief of Village A was commended and promoted for his meritorious service in fighting floods and rescuing people, and was promoted to deputy township head. And the head of Village B didn't even have a commendation.

When I learned about this, I didn't understand it. So I went to that county to investigate, and then I also consulted with the person in charge of the county party committee and county government. I asked them, obviously the head of Village B has done a solid job and has ensured the life and financial security of the country and the people, so why is he not as good as the head of Village A who does not know how to carry out prevention work?"

Chief No. 1 asked with a gloomy face, "What did the person in charge of that county answer?"

Yang Weiping sighed bitterly and replied: "The county magistrate and the secretary of the county party committee have both said that the head of Village A has made meritorious contributions in fighting floods and rescuing people! His deeds are heroic and tragic! He led the villagers to fight on the front line of flood fighting and rescue with his own responsibility, and almost sacrificed himself.

At that time, I raised a rhetorical question: The whole village of Village A was flooded, dozens of villagers died, all the farmland was flooded, more than half of the houses were destroyed, and all the livestock and poultry were gone.

"The officials of the county government must have said that this was a natural disaster, and it was not caused by the head of Village Jia, so how can this have anything to do with him, right?" asked the No. 1 chief with a sigh.

"Hmm!" Yang Weiping nodded.

"This is a problem with our personnel appraisal system!" Chief No. 1 sighed with a rather heavy face: "Looking at political achievements, we should not just look at the surface, but should look at the essence through the appearance. Moreover, the assessment and evaluation of political achievements must not be dogmatic!"

"Yes, grandpa, you said what I wanted to say. Yang Weiping also sighed, and said with a solemn look: "I think it is necessary to re-examine our current cadre evaluation system, and we cannot generalize about the evaluation of political performance."

In my opinion, we should subdivide the political performance and adapt it to local conditions. For example, for officials in the northwest region, the protection of the environment, water resources, and vegetation should be an important part of the performance evaluation, rather than just the gross industrial and agricultural production.

For another example, for grain-producing areas, whether the agricultural management work is in place is the focus of the performance assessment, rather than blindly pursuing GDP, and destroying farmland to build factories and develop real estate!

For first-tier cities, the assessment indicators should be the local per capita income, the gap between the rich and the poor, the degree of transparency of law enforcement, and the people's satisfaction with the government. All in all, I think that political performance should not only be based on foreign exchange earnings through exports, nor just at GDP, but should be a comprehensive standard of the system adapted to local conditions. ”

"This suggestion of yours is very good!" Chief No. 1 nodded with approval in his eyes and said: "We must formulate policies according to local conditions, and we must also adapt measures to local conditions for the performance of local cadres.

GDP must be grasped, but how to grasp it! It is necessary to instruct the organization departments to draw up a detailed list of categories for the appraisal of cadres' political achievements, and for any political performance, it is necessary to conduct an all-round, comprehensive, and in-depth investigation before giving an objective and fair appraisal and evaluation!" )
