Chapter 017 Confrontation Standing Committee

Monday, July 4, 2005, fine.

The compound of the provincial party committee was as solemn as ever, but if you were a person living here, you would definitely be able to detect the slightest abnormal atmosphere.

They are all the masters of the organs sitting in the compound of the provincial party committee, and few of them are fuel-efficient lamps, and the news is more than a well-informed, and the cadres of the provincial party committee organs have long been aware of several topics on the standing committee of the provincial party committee today. The first thing is to convey the spirit of the Central Committee and commemorate the centenary of Xiao Lao, in fact, for the cadres of these organs, this is a dispensable thing, nothing more than to do some activities, shout a few slogans, and hold a few meetings. The second thing is the main dish today: personnel adjustments. Among them, the positions involved include the director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the deputy secretary of the Pengcheng Municipal Party Committee, the executive deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department, the deputy mayor of Pengcheng City, the deputy mayor of Yanling City, and the vice mayor of Hong Kong City.

Everyone knows that although the provincial party committee is usually harmonious, the bigwigs behind this harmony are in the midst of intrigue at any time, and some people even think that the tradition of Chinese people liking infighting has been carried forward to the extreme here.

Infighting is also fighting in the nest, and it is a group - whether it is a company, a school, or any other unit, it can be regarded as a group - fighting with each other internally, dumping, digging into the wall, and making stumbling blocks. This kind of infighting exists in many groups, but some groups are more serious, and even tend to be superficial, and some groups are not too serious, and they are only carried out quietly in secret, such as the provincial party committee or the provincial government.

It is said that the group should be united and united with the outside world, because in this way it can seek the greater good of the group, but people often do not think so. The point of view of most people in China is: unanimously external, the interests sought are the group, although there is also their own share, but whether this part can be divided into their own hands is still a problem, there are likely to be other smart people in the group who try to take advantage of it, even if it is distributed to their own hands, it is only a share, the income is extremely limited, but the internal struggle is different, the interests of the internal struggle are basically all their own, so people are more willing to fight.

However, in an organized group, infighting is not allowed, and positive education is sincere unity and each performing its own duties, so infighting is generally carried out under sī, and if it is carried out openly, it must be carried out by some high-sounding reason, and the true face of infighting cannot appear. In person, no matter what the reason is, the people inside know what its essence is, but because there are high-sounding reasons, it is difficult to stop. For example, a company is divided into production, sales, quality inspection, personnel, advertising and many other departments, between these departments, there is both mutual cooperation and mutual checks and balances, and if something bad happens, such as product quality problems, various departments may blame each other for passing the buck. In addition, in order to be promoted, department leaders and their competitors will inevitably fight openly and secretly, and if they defeat their opponents, the possibility of their own promotion will of course be greater, so it is difficult to prohibit things that secretly make stumbling blocks and digging into the wall. Within the system, the same is also true, and each department can be regarded as each department, bureau, and city, and they are originally "fraternal units" and "fraternal cities" among themselves, but they are in competition, so it is normal for them to stumble and dig into each other's walls.

In fact, the top leader of the organized group, for example, is the chairman of the company, he is not resolute to crack down, prohibit infighting, the following people have infighting with each other, he can better control the company, if the company's vice president, managers of various departments, etc. are united, then, the chairman may be difficult to be, give everyone less bonuses, give everyone wages rise too slowly, these united subordinates are very strong, they come together to protest to the chairman, this is troublesome, so, In the chairman's heart, he is willing to subordinate infighting, and the infighting of subordinates can better demonstrate his authority, and the subordinates of infighting must first tie up with the chairman in order to be invincible. However, the chairman does not want his subordinates to fight too much, and he will carefully grasp the heat and let the infighting run within the scope of not affecting the company's performance and not causing serious consequences.

It seems that this is different from officialdom, so you can think of this company as a branch of a certain group, so it is easy to understand: in the branch, there is a higher leader above the manager of the branch, then, infighting may be another situation, the branch manager is likely to be forced to fall into the whirlpool of infighting, because some people are jealous of his position, and some people covet his position, so he may be listed as the object of fighting.

The human mind is very strange, and many unbelievable methods, clever tricks, and some vicious ideas that are not usually involved at all, will continue to emerge from the head when fighting. Fighting is an all-round confrontation of courage, strength and intelligence, trapped in this whirlpool, the body can't help itself, bī the human head runs at high speed, and the bī flies like a person to evolve to be smarter, so the skills and tricks of the fight are endless, constantly renovated. However, the essence of huā will never change. No matter how many tricks there are in infighting, the essence is one: let the other person make mistakes, bī he makes mistakes, yòu he makes mistakes, he doesn't make mistakes, and you have to find a way to connect him with the mistakes - of course, this becomes a frame-up.

Next to the solemn party flag, hung with the big characters of "serving the people" in máo style, the first plenary meeting of the Standing Committee in July was officially convened, Secretary Li Yuanzhuo first conveyed the requirements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on strengthening the study of Zheng Nanxun and Xiao Fei's theories, especially Xiao Fei's economic thought, spoke highly of Comrade Xiao Fei's great contribution to the country's economic work since the establishment of New China, and asked the party and government organs of the whole province to deeply understand Xiao Fei's economic thought, and take this as a guide to thoroughly implement the scientific outlook on development, concentrate on the economy, and seek development wholeheartedly.

In fact, Xiao Chen was a little disgusted with this kind of activity in his heart, even if the object was his grandfather, he was a little uncomfortable. The flattering mentality of Chinese officialdom has penetrated into the bone marrow of almost every official! But Xiao Chen can only occasionally slander this, but in fact, there is no way to solve it at present. And Xiao Chen knows that flattery is actually a very clever way to be an official, forcing people not to be "flattering", which itself is a bit overkill.

The reason why it is said that the flattering type of stammering is a kind of cleverness, because the flattery is deeply in line with the rule of "the strong is king, and the weak are obedient", and the purpose of flattery is to get benefits, generally speaking, most of them can get benefits, so flattery is not only a kind of cleverness, but also a very popular cleverness.

Generally speaking, there are only advantages and no disadvantages, and the disadvantage is that they may be despised by those who are not flattering, but in reality, most of the people who are not flattering are not very good, and their contempt cannot create substantial consequences. Moreover, there are not many such people, even if most people are not very hard at flattery, but psychologically they basically admit that flattery is an understandable behavior, as long as the flatterer does not go too far, do not be subservient, and do not follow the strong like a pug, then, even if someone laughs at it, it will only use the form of jokes, so as not to embarrass the flatterer.

In fact, stammering and slapping horses are said to be flattering in language and body language, which is only the most basic level of kung fu on flattery, and the technical content is not large, although there are also a lot of skills to pay attention to, it is still only the first step in flattery, and the effect is also limited, that is, to let the strong first have a good impression of you, so as to facilitate further development in the future.

In short, it can determine, influence or indirectly affect the future and destiny of the flatterer, and it is worth it to please such a person. Nowadays, popular fans also flatter their idols, but idols cannot decide or influence the fate of fans, and the enthusiasm shown by fans for idols is completely out of inner feelings, and when expressing this feeling, there is no utilitarian purpose. Therefore, the fans' worship and praise of idols cannot be regarded as flattering and smart.

From the comparison of fans, it can be seen that when the person who is flattering is flattering, it is not necessarily sincere, which is very important, if it is a sincere worship, worship the boss's bearing, ability, morality, xiōng huai, and express his own worship from the heart, although the way of expression is extremely similar to the flattery, it cannot be regarded as the wisdom of the flattery. Because this kind of heartfelt expression does not require the use of skills, it can be done naturally. As a kind of smart flattery, it refers to consciously currying favor and stammering with leaders, bosses and other people who can give benefits to themselves for the purpose of seeking benefits. Here, "purposeful" and "conscious" are very important, and "purpose" is clear, which is the only place to embody wisdom. And "conscious" refers to the time when you are flattering, you are very clear in your heart and understand what you are doing, which is the key to distinguishing between sincere praise and false affection.

Of course, in addition to fans worshipping and praising idols, when people encounter beautiful things, they often can't help but praise him, when they see a handsome and chic young man, they will praise him for being handsome, when they see a woman like huāyù, they will praise her beauty, and when they see their soldiers desperately saving people, they will praise him for his bravery.

The flattery of Chinese officialdom is by no means formed in a short period of time, but has a very strong origin. But everything with far-reaching origins often forms a unique "culture", so even the flattery of China has flattered the culture. Therefore, there are many ways and means to flatter, and relatively speaking, using language and expression flattery is the most basic kung fu, and it is also the first step of flattery, the simplest, most convenient, and the lowest cost. Although it is simple and easy, it can also be divided into many levels according to the level of technical content, and the effect is different depending on the level.

When they saw the boss and the boss, they sneered on their shoulders, their faces were full of flattering expressions, and they looked like slaves, for fear that the boss and the boss would not understand their flattering intentions, so they chose what they liked and said, and picked the issues they were interested in to report, and after the boss and the boss had instructions, they exaggerated and praised them for their thoughtfulness and wise decision-making, saying that not only did they admire them very much, but other people, including the boss or the boss's hostile opponents, were also very obedient at this point, and so on. In short, do everything possible to make the boss or boss happy, the boss or boss has a good point, just say ten points, if there are shortcomings, but don't say it, the text is wrong, saying that this is their personality.

This method of whiskering is relatively low-tech, without much skill, and if you want to do it, almost everyone can do it, of course, this is only from a technical point of view. In fact, many people fail to do this, not because they can't speak flattering language, or because they can't find what their boss or boss should tout, but because of their psychological barriers. They may think that they should really pat their boss or boss at the right opportunity for various reasons, but when the opportunity comes, these people are blushing and red-faced, and many stammering ròu words cannot be spoken. This kind of person is a standard honest person, the concept of right and wrong, and the heart of shame are still there, and deep in his heart, he is always vaguely ashamed of patting the horse and sloping his beard, so he has not spoken, and his face is red first. This kind of person is usually unofficial, and there are occasional exceptions, which must be exceptions.

And if you can do it without blushing and your heart beating, when you say flattering words, you are not ashamed at all, and you feel that when you see your boss or boss, you should be like this, this kind of person is a smart person who enters the door. They have gone through the stage of psychological adjustment, and they have abandoned the innocence of being an upright person in their concepts, thinking that it is natural to pat the boss or boss's sycophants, and there is nothing inappropriate. Then for this kind of beginner, there are also three realms:

The first realm is the realm of traces. At this level, there is some kung fu in patting the horse, but the skills are not particularly skilled, and the horse is taken seriously, straight to the goal, so that the boss or boss can immediately feel that you are patting the horse, so that onlookers can also see that you are patting the horse, that is, there are still traces to be found.

The realm of traces is like a student who has just mastered the principles of geometry, and will analyze step by step, and will also apply theorems to demonstrate and calculate, but all this is done a bit mechanically, not to be familiar with it, let alone know the key to solving the problem as soon as you see the problem, and you don't need to think about any theorem at all.

People in the state of traces often seem a little immature and persistent, they are likely to be full of seriousness when they pat the horse, firmly believe that they are doing the right thing, and also strongly believe that the flattering words they say are true, so they shoot with righteousness and awe-inspiring, making the traces more obvious.

The second realm is the realm of the nickname. At this level, the pat horse is not so direct, often in a joking way, cleverly express the meaning of the pat horse, in this way to pat the horse, the traces are very light, and it is almost impossible to see if you are not careful, so the boss or boss unconsciously accepts the flattery of the pat man, and also feels calm. There is a well-known joke about this realm of patting:

The leader went to the toilet to urinate, and met the patter, and the patter took the opportunity to say hello: "The leader also went to the toilet himself?" ”

The leader also went to the toilet himself? - The first function of this question is to make the leader laugh, so that the leader feels that the other party is purely joking, and has no other intentions, so that the first purpose of the horse patter is achieved, which is to make the leader happy first. The leader's smile, and the distance between himself and himself in an instant is shortened, and generally speaking, for this question, the leader can not laugh and then stop talking, the leader either humorously says a joke, or pretends to be disgusted, with a smile on his face to reprimand the horse patter a few words, no matter which reaction, it makes the leader and the horse patter look a lot more intimate in the relationship.

Of course, the above is just the appearance, this sentence "the leader also went to the toilet in person", the reason why the leader loves to listen, and after listening to it, there is a sense of comfort and enjoyment, because this seemingly joking sentence actually contains a very important meaning: leadership is different from ordinary people, and many things leaders do not need to do in person. Ximenqing in "Golden Vase Plum" has a sworn brother named Earl Ying, Ximenqing is always indispensable for prostitution and drinking, he can make this kind of joke the most, which can not only enliven the atmosphere, but also make Ximenqing comfortable and useful, of course, he can also eat and drink with hún.

In history, there are many nòng ministers, it is this way of flattering the boss or boss is very comfortable, and then they take advantage of this to have a good relationship with the boss or boss, there are many examples of this, and they are also very interesting, such as the five generations after the Tang Dynasty people in the Tang Dynasty to tie up the emperor Li Cunqing, this method is often used.

Li Cunqiao loves acting, and often appears on the stage, so he has more contact with the people. He gave himself a stage name, called "Li Tianxia", and once he was happy to act, and shouted twice on stage "Li Tianxia!" Li Tianxia! At this time, a servant named Jing Xinmo rushed up, stretched out his hand and slapped Li Cunmiao, and reprimanded: "Li Tianxia is the emperor, there is only one, but you shouted two sentences Li Tianxia, can there be two emperors?" ”

This question, in name, is a reprimand, but in fact it is flattery, saying that the emperor is unique and supreme, so this rebuke actually made Li Cunmiao hurriedly admit his mistake and say that he shouted wrong.

Of course, Jing Xin slapped the emperor in the face, which was a bit risky, but this story can express the meaning of the nickname very well. That is to say, if the kung fu reaches the realm of nicknames, it is easy to mingle with the leader or boss, creating an illusion: everyone is buddies, very affectionate, regardless of each other, you can joke.

According to online reports, a strong criminal director of a certain county knows the way of stammering, and his kung fu has also reached the realm of slapping horses, and he calls his top boss, the secretary of the county party committee, "brother secretary", and the county magistrate "brother county magistrate", as if he is an iron buddy who is very intimate with the leader. In fact, this person's level is not high, in reality, there are many smart people who do better than this strong Jiān criminal director, and the title of the boss goes further, not only does not call the position, but also does not even bring the name, only calls "brother" or "brother", and the official title and name are all removed, this kind of relationship, they call it "strong steel relationship", since they are all "strong steel", it is naturally more powerful than "iron".

Someone then concluded: "If you want to get a good boss and get close to the relationship, you don't need any sweet words, you don't need to pat him on the back, you just need to try to do a bad thing with him, do an unsightly thing, and the relationship will be iron immediately." For example, co-prostitution. Of course, this is another question, and it goes beyond verbal flattery.

Mainly through language, and the boss hún to the relationship between the nickname or the nickname, ask the boss to do something, to seek some benefits for yourself, then it is not very difficult, even if the boss is not really with you, just to make you happy, but after a long time with each other, you make a request, as long as it is not very difficult, the leader at least in the face, feel embarrassed to refuse you.

The third realm: the realm of no trace. Strictly speaking, there are still traces of the realm of nicknames, treating yourself as a clown for the leader's amusement, and it looks very detrimental in terms of personality, even if you call your boss brother and brother, when you call your boss, the expression on your face is also flattering, and you can see it at a glance by an insider who pats a horse. And the Traceless Realm is obviously much more sophisticated, not only is it difficult to find traces of flattery, but there is no problem of personality damage.

The essence of the Traceless Realm is to try to become a confidant of your boss or boss. Of course, this kind of realm is more difficult.

A person, no matter how big an official he is, no matter how much wealth he makes, as long as he is a person, he always has some hobbies, and it is difficult to find people who have absolutely no hobbies.

People who have hobbies have the desire to find soulmates, which is the common nature of people. Trying to become the boss's bosom friend and discussing and exchanging experiences and experiences with him on common hobbies can not only achieve the purpose of getting close to the boss and integrating the relationship, but also do not need to pretend to be servile.

The word bosom friend, the allusion comes from "Liezi", it is said that Yu Boya is good at playing the piano, and Zhong Ziqi is good at listening to the piano, and can hear the meaning of mountains and rivers from Yu Boya's piano sound, so the two of them became close friends. Of course, it is impossible for a whisker to have the elegance of Zhong Ziqi, but he can pretend that he is very elegant, and deliberately pay attention to the areas that his boss likes or is good at, so that he can understand a little bit, and then take the opportunity to pretend to be a bosom friend and evaluate and praise the skills of his boss.

For example, if the boss likes photography, the horse shooter will immediately make up some photography knowledge, and then pretend to be an expert, from the light, angle, shutter speed and other aspects of the boss's work appreciation, if he himself is a master in this area, then of course better, you can appreciate the words very expert, which in winning the favor of the boss, the effect is naturally greater. However, the appraisal and appreciation of the horse photographer will not be completely realistic, and there may be more boasting and boasting, even if the boss's photography skills are very bad, he will try to pick up the good side and say it carefully.

There is a better way to tie the knot, that is, respect the boss as a master, pretend to be a beginner, ask the boss to criticize and correct his work, and let the boss do the taste of being a teacher, which is better in winning the favor of the boss.

In history, the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty liked to write poems, writing tens of thousands of poems, and often used this as a conceit, but to put it in conscience, Qianlong's poems are relatively stinky and have no taste at all. However, in order to achieve the purpose of stammering and then getting benefits, he not only worked hard to learn to write poems, but also tried to write according to Qianlong's aesthetic taste when writing poems. In addition to writing poems, Qianlong also likes calligraphy, and Shen also learned calligraphy, and tried his best to imitate Qianlong, it is said that he wrote in the end and Qianlong is very similar, can be fake luàn true, Qianlong sometimes wants to make some calligraphy works, but is too lazy to do it, simply by He Shen ghostwriting.

He Shen's technique of patting horses has reached the level of the top masters, but it is a pity that he did not leave his experience in this area, otherwise, his experience will definitely be regarded as a classic by later generations of patting horses. Therefore, those stupid and stupid He Shen in Qing court dramas are completely nonsense, this He is definitely a smart person.

Xiao Chen understands the mentality of the horse patter so well, is he resolutely not using the horse patter? Not really. In today's officialdom, can an official who can't even pat a horse expect him to be able to do good things when he is in a complicated environment? has long been set aside, or simply found a fault and kicked away. Xiao Chen's consistent attitude is: You can shoot a horse, but you can't just shoot a horse and not do things; You can be upright, but you can't be upright without means.

“…… So now we move on to the second topic of today, which is a few personnel arrangements. First of all, there is the question of Comrade Liang Biqi, director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Comrade Biqi is old and not in good health, and he has raised several times to the organization that he can no longer continue to insist on the front-line post. I will not emphasize the importance of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, since Comrade Biqi took the initiative to put it forward, it must have been carefully considered, so the last time at the secretary's meeting, Comrade Xiao Chen and I both believed that Comrade Biqi could quit such a heavy post as the Development and Reform Commission and continue to exert his residual heat in the National People's Congress. So today, we are mainly discussing which comrade is the most suitable for the director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and everyone can express their opinions. ”

As soon as Secretary Li's words came out, Xiao Chen knew that Secretary Li also had ideas about this position, because if Secretary Li followed the "normal procedure" to advance, his last sentence just now should be: "Comrade Yaomin, what is the opinion of the Organization Department on this?" ”

But Secretary Li did not do this, but temporarily skipped the Organization Department and asked the Standing Committee members to speak freely. This is to use the authority of the secretary to convene and preside over the meetings of the Standing Committee, and to put the first hand of the Organization Department behind.

However, Xiao Chen is not in a hurry, although Secretary Li, the first hand, moved the organization department back, but this personnel arrangement problem, it is impossible to completely skip the organization department, even if the secretary of the provincial party committee, he can only move some small tricks within the rules, and in the end the organization department still has to speak.

As Xiao Chen expected, Zhou Zhengjiang glanced at Chen Zhongmin slightly, and Chen Zhongmin took the lead in speaking: "Secretary, the director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission is such an important position, of course, it is necessary to discuss who is better, but I think there should be a principle first, such a position should be held by cadres with rich leadership experience." ”

Chen Zhongmin is the secretary of the Jinning Municipal Party Committee, and he can be regarded as the successor of Zhou Zhengjiang. When Zhou Zhengjiang was the secretary of the Jinning Municipal Party Committee, Chen Zhongmin was the deputy mayor, because he was close to Zhou Zhengjiang, his performance was not bad, and later after Zhou Zhengjiang became the executive vice governor, Chen Zhongmin became the mayor under his recommendation, but the secretary who took over Zhou Zhengjiang at that time was soon transferred to a certain department of the Central Committee, so Chen Zhongmin was equivalent to completing the leap from the deputy mayor to the secretary of the municipal party committee in one step.

Chen Zhongmin said this to Secretary Li, but Secretary Li did not answer directly, but asked everyone with a smile: "What do you think of Comrade Zhongmin?" ”

Jiang Songhu, secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Committee, said with a smile: "I feel that the comrades who can be included in the candidate for the director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission should have relatively sufficient leadership experience, right?" ”

Li Yawei, Minister of Propaganda, said: "I think Comrade Zhongmin means that he has leadership experience in holding important positions in key units such as the National Development and Reform Commission, right? After all, the NDRC is widely implicated, and it must have enough ability to coordinate the overall situation, right? I agree with this view, and I think that Comrade Liu Xinyou, executive deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, is not bad, he has served as executive deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission for more than five years, and he has assisted Comrade Liang Biqi in taking charge of the overall situation, and he has grasped the overall situation quite well. ”

It can be seen that Li Yawei is on the side of Governor Zhou on this issue.

Jiang Songhu is not, he may have said such things because of Secretary Li's intentions. At this time, Han Ping, secretary general of the provincial party committee, smiled lightly: "I think that Secretary Jiang's idea is reasonable, and everyone can be regarded as a candidate comrade for the director of the National Development and Reform Commission. In recent years, the central government has paid special attention to the three rural issues, our province has also introduced a number of measures, and a large part of the final implementation fell on the head of the Department of Agriculture, and everyone has seen that the performance of the Department of Agriculture is quite good, I think Comrade Guo Linsheng of the Department of Agriculture is very good at understanding the spirit of the Central Committee, the overall situation is good, and there is enough ability to implement, with high leadership skills, should be able to be qualified for the post of director of the National Development and Reform Commission. ”

Han Ping is the secretary general of the provincial party committee, and generally this position is equivalent to the microphone of the secretary of the provincial party committee, and the secretary usually does not give this position to others, and Han Ping is the same, if he hadn't gained Secretary Li's trust, basically he wouldn't be sitting here now.

His opening was equivalent to Secretary Li tactfully putting forward his own ideas.

Do you still want to fight? ——

A few days ago, I had a cold and caused inflammation of my tonsils, and I owe 2,000 today, and 4,000 tomorrow......
