Chapter 264: The Bystander Qing (I)
In the eyes of stupid people, this world is very simple, nothing more than right and wrong, black and white, and even military affairs are divided into camps by enemies and friends. In the eyes of the wise, this world is complicated, there is no right or wrong, everything is just from different angles.
However, it is not easy to be a wise man, and he will be deducted anytime and anywhere, betraying the country for glory, traitors, and servile and flattering...... These words can be used on them at any time. Just like many years ago, when Li Jiaming was chatting with his mentor, Master Xiao, he made a joke - democracy cannot be said to be a bad thing, but people under the age of 30 must not have the right to vote.
What do you mean?
People under the age of thirty are still hot-blooded, and they are easily taken advantage of by careerists, and their heads are easily confused when they are fanned by a few lofty slogans. In particular, those students who have not entered the society are full of nationalism and patriotism, but they do not know that almost all of the people who talk about patriotism are politicians and careerists.
Li Jiaming doesn't think he is a stupid person, but thinks he is a wise man who can see through the chaos of the world, but he never expected that the worries of Zhang Fox and his group would actually let the onlookers find a solution.
Manmei, the eldest name is Li Manhua, because the eldest sister is called Li Zhonghua, and she is the youngest in the family, so the uneducated second uncle named her Li Manhua, which means the youngest sister in the family. This name is not good, when she was fifteen or sixteen years old, Manmei also clamored to change her name, but was suppressed by her cousin Li Jiaming.
The name was chosen by the parents, how can it be changed?
When she turned eighteen years old and was able to be independent, Li Jiaming taught her that her name must be distinctive in order for people to remember. The rustic name is good, in a bunch of cultured and exquisite names, it can be remembered at once, and it can also imply that others she has not forgotten her roots.
It's just a trivial matter that the name is easy to remember, she is Li Jiaming's dearest little cousin, even if she doesn't want people to remember, it's too important to remember it. People who can climb to a certain position are smart, and it is difficult to win their trust with some rhetoric, but a person who does not forget his roots is popular everywhere, even if the other party is a bureaucrat and politician who opens his mouth to 'dedicate' and shut up to 'serve the people'.
Li Manhua studied business, which she chose by herself, but Li Jiaming arranged to enter Wharton College. The United States is not a paradise, democracy and freedom are just a slogan, and in addition to being excellent in order to enter a prestigious school, it is also important to get a letter of recommendation from an alumnus or heavyweight. For example, with strength, it is difficult for Li Jiaming's other cousin Li Guihua to enter Stanford's medical school, but he is an excellent graduate of Stanford, and it is easy for him to get her into school if he writes a letter of recommendation, even if her grades are slightly worse.
At the critical moment of life, you can't care too much about face, the closest little cousin wants to go to Wharton College, Li Jiaming not only writes a letter of recommendation by himself, but also finds a CEO and executive from Wharton in Yahoo, HH, and IBM to write. As a result, the girl who studied computer science in the undergraduate had just graduated, and Shunshun entered the first-ranked Wharton College in the United States to study for an MBA.
Isn't it redundant to say all that?
It's not redundant, Li Jiaming was originally not very optimistic about the man sister who died since she was a child, who was pretty, greedy, and obsessed with money, but this girl persuaded Lao Zhang and them, so he was impressed. Business skills can be learned, but it is rare to be able to figure out people's hearts at a young age. If you want to get ahead, you can't just think about things, you have to think about people!
It was also from that time that Li Jiaming began to cultivate a very talented Manmei with his own hands, just like Mao Tong and them, and kicked her to the experience store in Los Angeles as a clerk during the summer vacation. Manmei also adapted quite quickly, usually even the socks have to be brand-name girls wash all the luxury, become an authentic little clerk, and even come back on weekends to drive Wanwan's old second-hand car.
is a little talented and hard-working, as a cousin, Li Jiaming certainly wants to cultivate her. When Manmei came back for the weekend, Li Jiaming asked her to carefully analyze and study to see her political sensitivity.
Unexpectedly, Man Mei was stuffed in the study for two days, and finally came to her conclusion. In her estimation, the country's economy will continue to grow rapidly for about a decade before entering a period of stagflation, but the government will use populism to divert attention and ease increasingly acute social contradictions in exchange for time to solve problems.
This estimate was wrong, and when Li Jiaming lost most of his family wealth in his previous life, it was the climax of the targeted anti-corruption campaign. In the applause, but Li Jiaming and those who are still sober are shuddering, 300 people spend 500 days digging three feet into the ground to fight corruption, what is anti-corruption, it is clearly 'those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die'.
"Why?"
Li Jiaming doesn't want to be a god, but he can use the cost-to-benefit ratio as a reason.
"What is our trade volume with the United States, and what is our trade with the European Union and Japan? This is an era of globalization, and the major economies have long been in the same situation. There will be contradictions and confrontations, but no one will move towards all-out confrontation, because the vested interests of every country will not allow that. ”
This is right, even if the United States claims to be the gendarmerie of democracy and the beacon of freedom, the people only have votes, and the real power is not in the hands of those large and small interest groups?
"That?"
When the cousin laughed silently, the cousin had to think hard again, but the sister-in-law who was reading an idle book interjected: "Anti-corruption, the cost is small and the benefit is big." ”
Li Jiaming smiled silently, but Man Mei shook her head and retorted: "Sister Sasha, that's a problem with the system, and it doesn't cure the symptoms." ”
Liu Shasha, who was still holding a book in her hand, just wanted to explain, but when she saw her husband smiling, she said angrily: "Wrong son!"
"You're cramming. ”
"How old is she?"
"And how old are you?"
Liu Shasha was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed Bai and said, "Can she compare with me?"
It is indeed incomparable, one is the child of a businessman's family, at most he has seen how his father and brother do business; the other is the child of an official's family, since he was a child, he has seen a lot of bad things in the officialdom, and he has also seen a lot of poor people who come to ask the official master to uphold justice.
Man Mei didn't feel much about this, although she was also from the bottom, but she didn't suffer much; from childhood to adulthood, all she saw was the importance of officials to her cousin; after she became sensible, there were already people in the family who became officials, and the officials she came into contact with were also stammering her cousin.
"You, you still don't know the national situation, and when you return to China after completing your studies, you should go to which township or neighborhood committee to stay for two years. ”
No problem, if you want to do business, you have to understand the needs of society, Man Mei agreed very happily, but also asked rhetorically: "Fifth brother, since you have all seen it, why don't you change it?"
can't be changed, the husband and wife look at each other and smile bitterly, this is not only a matter of courage, but also a matter of imposing things.
A man who knows the times is a handsome man who single-handedly goes against the entire bureaucracy? Is that different from suicide?
Even if Li Jiaming's brain is convulsive, can he change the reality?
It doesn't help!
"Do you understand? We have experienced a thousand-year-old imperial society, and we are used to having an emperor in our heads, and we all have a dream of being an emperor. It is easy to break the mountain, but it is difficult to break the heart, as long as everyone is still accustomed to authority and secretly dreams of the emperor, there is no solution to this matter. ”
