Chapter 296: The Road to Seeking Officials
readx; It is indispensable to give lectures on several rotation training sites at the county level, and the research task of "economic development and structural reform" is also very heavy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info In addition, most of his relatives and friends are not in the capital, Tian Wenjian, who is a first-time father, didn't even put the "washing three" wine, and after taking seven days of paternity leave, he threw himself into intense work.
Under the instructions of the leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Xiaoguan sorted out the contents of dozens of speeches he gave in the past six months, and added some cases provided by Hong, an expert in anti-corruption in the system and vice president of the National Supervision Academy, and actually published a book called "Dangers in the Prosperous Age", which has even become a recommended reading material for this year's discipline inspection and supervision system.
A deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection personally wrote a preface and labeled this book with a somewhat messy content, and although it did not engage in any propaganda activities such as signings, it was highly sought after by officials at all levels as soon as it was released, as if if reading this book would be incorruptible, and if you did not read this book, it would be [***].
The royalties of more than 400,000 yuan after deducting personal income tax have made Professor Tian University ridiculous. I secretly thought that the name and fortune were so close! It is no wonder that experts and professors are reluctant to teach, and they are busy participating in various social activities and writing books and speeches.
A large circulation does not mean that the book is popular, and the reason why it sells so well is not because it is afraid of the golden signboard of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection? What's more, this is different from the general anti-corruption, ordinary people are not cared for, and the so-called issuance is basically public money consumption. Besides, for those officials who buy books, buying them is one thing, and whether they read them or not may be another.
There is no doubt that this money is a bit hot to hold, Professor Tian Da pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Xiaoguan, you have contributed the most to this book, and you don't even have a name, but you can't let you do it in vain." In this way, you take 50,000 yuan, and give the rest to Professor Hong, and keep it as our research fund. ā
The professor eats meat with his signature, and the graduate student works and drinks soup, this is the unspoken rule of the academic world, and Tian Wenjian is understandable to do so. But considering that he didn't take a penny, Xiao Guan had to shake his head, and said with a wry smile: "Professor Tian, this is not appropriate, right?" Besides, I didn't do anything......"
Xiaoguan is from a remote area, and his family conditions are very ordinary, and he has studied for so many years before he joins the work, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend until now. The Research Center for the Theory of Integrity is the Qingshui Yamen of the Qingshui Yamen of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and it is impossible for a newcomer like him to have any gray income at all.
Seeing that Tian Wenjian gave him a look, Vice President Hong, who was sitting on the side, reacted, nodded again and again: "A gentleman loves money, take it in a good way, what should be yours is yours, don't be embarrassed." ā
"But you two didn't take a penny, but I ran errands ......"
Looking at his hesitant look, Professor Hong was happy, and before he finished speaking, he laughed and said, "You kid, why are you so unenlightened? You're still young, and you still need to start a family, can you compare to a half-old man like me? Professor Tian has been in the United States for so many years, and he is a millionaire who is like a fake, and he doesn't like this money. ā
Professor Tian Da looked at the research materials in his hand and said with a smile: "That's it, don't be pretentious, we still have to work." ā
has been an assistant for more than half a year, how can Xiao Guan not know what kind of person Tian Wenjian is, he simply nodded heavily, with a sincere expression, and choked up and said: "Thank you, thank you Professor Tian, thank you Professor Hong." ā
"You kid, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, why do you have so many things?"
The old professor was in a hurry, grabbed a book and threw it over, with a very impatient expression. Seeing his embarrassed appearance as he ran out of the office, Professor Tian suddenly burst into laughter.
The rotation training class for county-level cadres will end in another month and a half, which means that the clean government education team composed of the three of them is about to disperse. Looking at the stacks of research materials on the desk, the old professor couldn't help asking: "Xiao Tian, our project is also coming to an end, what are your plans next?" ā
Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment, pointed to the research materials at hand, and said solemnly: "Don't you always say that breakthroughs are in the localities, and the norms are in the center?" If I had the chance, I would like to give it a try. ā
"It's one thing to want to try, it's another thing to let you try. After all, our mouth is too narrow, not to mention that you are now famous. ā
In this period of economic construction as the central task, it is very difficult for cadres of the Commission for Discipline Inspection to serve as the number one party and government leaders, and Professor Tian Da could not understand this truth, but he still said thoughtfully: "If we fight, there is still a glimmer of hope, and if we do not, there is not even a glimmer of hope." ā
The old professor was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Is there a door?" ā
"Aren't you going to Pujiang College next week for class? I am ready to take this opportunity to change my shape and see if I can change the impression in the minds of the leaders that I only destroy and do not build. In addition, our research results are also a stepping stone, it depends on whether we can get into their eyes. ā
Only then did Professor Hong come to his senses, and immediately pointed at his nose and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Tian Wenjian, you actually calculated us a long time ago." Lao Huang and Lao Li, if they knew, they would have to turn their faces with you kid. ā
Just as the old professor said, the reason why Tian Wenjian applied for the topic of "economic development and structural reform" was to prove to the leaders that Tian Wenjian could do something serious in addition to being able to do tricks, or what they thought was the right thing.
After all, the "usable" instruction is there, and if you want to get ahead, you must get the approval of the No. 1 boss. Besides, if you want to make achievements in the local area, so as to make a breakthrough, it is not something that can be done overnight, and Tian Wenjian, who is only seizing the day, can't wait so long, so he uses this unique way to fight.
"Is it so exaggerated as you always say? This is the common cause of all of us, and besides, I, Tian Wenjian, am not for my own selfish interests, I think Huang Lao and Li Lao will definitely support it. ā
"That's right."
The old professor nodded heavily, then changed his words, and said worriedly: "Xiao Tian, it is good to have ambitions, but I still have to solemnly remind you that many things are not as simple as you imagined, even if you can be in charge of the party as you wish, you have to consider the influence of all aspects. ā
It is not uncommon for officials to have a surname, but all of them are controversial. What's more, Tian Wenjian's ambition is not just as simple as serving as an official and benefiting one party, but wants to fundamentally solve some problems left over from history and development on the premise of not shaking the party's ruling position, and explore a real road of harmonious development and scientific development.
Tian Wenjian is not a fledgling stunned young man, of course he knows how difficult it is. Seeing that the old professor showed a worried expression, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Professor Hong, I never thought that I could eat a fat man in one bite. Rather, it is the way of boiling frogs in warm water, and gradually promoting the rule of law with the rule of man. Five years is not too short, ten years is not too long, for me now, all I need is an opportunity. ā
There are really not many officials who have been beaten by iron and are now cadres at or above the county and department level who can work in one position for ten years. Even if you can stand up to your surname, but you are blocking the upward path of others, you can imagine how difficult it is for Professor Tian Da to achieve his goal.
Fortunately, with Tian Wenjian's background, Professor Hong Lao is not ignorant. Of course, he understands that for him now, he only needs a pass to officially step into officialdom. With the support of Qiao Wei, Hu Baoguo, Yan Zhijie and others, it is still very easy to find a position in the local area.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and Professor Tian Da, who has entered the countdown to the officialdom sprint, uncharacteristically rushed to Shanghai six days in advance to listen to the lectures of leaders of various ministries and commissions and external experts with the students of the same period.
China Executive Leadership Academy Pudong is positioned as a national education and training base for party and government leading cadres, enterprise managers, professional and technical personnel and military cadres to carry out education on reform and opening up awareness, belief in socialism with Chinese characteristics, knowledge and ability of modernization, as well as international training, exchange and cooperation.
The course arrangement and teaching methods are very different from those of the cadre academy in the old district, and the participation in an "international leadership forum" today even requires all participants to register in person before the start, confirm the qualifications of the conference, and receive the conference materials, and all must be in English, in full accordance with the operation mode of the international forum, so that the participants can be in the environment of the international forum in advance, giving people a refreshing feeling.
What is commendable is that Zhongpu College does not have a fixed teaching point like the old district cadre training college, but has set up nearly 30 on-site teaching points outside the school, such as the Shanghai United Equity Exchange, the International Convention and Exhibition Center, and so on. When it comes to the class of property rights trading, the class will be moved to the Shanghai United Equity Exchange, so that the students can feel it intuitively.
Some brand-new problems have also been included in the teaching scope of the institute. How to deal with the news media, how to break out of crisis...... These relatively rare contents of traditional cadre training are involved, and even signed off-campus training contracts with Harvard, Stanford, and Antwerp, Belgium.
Tian Wenjian, who took the roll call three times in half a year and made the three county officials fall from power, has become a figure that all students avoid. Even Vice President Wu laughed that his arrival had ruined the learning atmosphere of "Zhongpu Phase VI".
Tian Wenjian, who was sitting in the auditorium, smiled, pointed to the conference materials in his hand, and said casually: "Vice Dean Wu, Professor Kellerman is my teacher, he personally took the stage to teach, can I not come to cheer?" ā
Today's topic is "Bad Leadership" and is presented by Barbara Kellerman, a renowned Harvard professor of management. Only then did Vice Dean Wu remember that Professor Tian Da was also a Harvard doctor, and he showed a look of sudden realization, and shook his head again and again: "Look at my surname, how can I forget this stubble?" Since it is an acquaintance, it is easy to do, you must attend the reception in the evening, and let foreign friends see the faculty of our Zhongpu College. ā
Although what Vice President Wu said was a bit far-fetched, it was not without his reasoning. After all, the teachers of Zhongpu College come from various ministries and commissions, and as one of the keynote speakers, Professor Tian Da is also half of Zhongpu College.
Like all university professors in the United States, Professor Kellerman first told the students how simple, easy, and fun management is. A whole bunch of examples were then given for the participants to participate in the discussion. It's a pity that the foreign language level of most of the mathematicians in the audience has not reached the level of being able to communicate with him, and they have to go through a not very professional translation, and the teaching atmosphere and teaching effect are also greatly reduced.
If he was in an ordinary university, Tian Wenjian would be happy to take the initiative to serve as a teaching assistant and translator. But this is not an ordinary university, doing this kind of thankless work makes people feel unconventional and sensational. What's more, the content of Professor Kellerman's lecture is only equivalent to an introductory course in management. In addition to a little bit of internationalization, Tian Wenjian doesn't think it can be of much help to the students.
Tian Wenjian did not attend the reception in the evening, and did not even show up for the next three days, but locked himself in the hotel, focusing on the course he was about to teach.
On August 7th, the 2004 Asian Cup football tournament closed in Yanjing, and on the day when the team won the championship and the Chinese team won the runner-up, more than 300 students walked into the conference hall of the college nervously, for fear that Professor Tian Da, who participated in the training on behalf of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, would be the fourth place during the rotation training of county-level cadres!
As everyone knows, Professor Tian Da is just a kite led by a string, and without the instructions of the leader, how can he blindly roll out the name regardless of the consequences? To everyone's relief, Professor Tian Da, who had just taken the stage, was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood, and it seemed that he would not treat them like he had treated the previous students.
After coming for so many days, there is no need for introduction, Tian Wenjian, as usual, motioned to Xiaoguan to connect the projector to the notebook, and said eloquently: "Ladies and gentlemen, the open teaching mode and international route of Zhongpu College must have opened your eyes." In fact, I am, and I feel it deeply. So I would like to take this opportunity to share some personal views with you. ā
It is a good thing to exchange personal opinions, and it is better than fighting corruption and advocating clean government. After all, the lessons of the past are there, and no one wants to be an unlucky person who makes an example. Because of this, although Professor Tian Da did not say anything, he received the most heartfelt applause since participating in the training of 5,000 county officials.
"The United States, the United States is the most talked about these days. Of course...... Our common teacher, Professor Barbara Kellerman, is here, and I don't dare to talk about management in a class, but I want to ask you, why is the United States so powerful? ā
I don't know if it's because my reputation is not very good, or if this question is a bit difficult, there was silence in the conference hall, and there was a cold scene. Professor Tian Da was a little embarrassed, holding the podium with both hands, looking around at the crowd, and said with a smile: "Open discussion, I hope everyone can participate, do you volunteer?" ā
A class is only two hours, and after surviving the most dangerous two hours, you can attend tomorrow's graduation ceremony, get your graduation certificate, and go back to continue to be a parent official. The students did not dare to take this risk, and one by one they unanimously raised their right hands and asked to speak.
"Thank you, thank you, the one in front, right...... The one in the black suit, you come first! ā
"Because it's the luckiest country in the world, located in North America, far from the European theater. Neither world war did much harm to its homeland. On the contrary, they seized the opportunity to resell arms to the war and made a windfall. ā
Professor Tian nodded slightly, motioned for him to sit down, and then asked, "Is there anything to add?" ā
As soon as his words fell, a chubby student stood up and said with a smile: "The United States is rich in natural resources, and its population is not as large as ours. ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ A lot of things were said, but none of them got to the point. In fact, they can't be blamed, after all, as a party member and cadre, we can't let them say that the prosperity and strength of the United States today is entirely due to its political system.
Because the open cooking system can minimize and avoid the damage caused to the country by the mistakes of the leaders, protect and implement the civil rights fully enjoyed by every citizen to the greatest extent, make them dare to think and speak, make them truly feel that they are the masters of the country, and make them full of gratitude to the country from the bottom of their hearts, and think that the country is worthy of their defense.
There is no doubt that Professor Tian Da, who is racking his brains to plot officials, will not say such words, but his face is straight, pointing to the picture on the screen behind him, and he said very seriously:
"There's a lot of talk and a lot of sense, but we've all overlooked the spiritual side. The United States has only a short history of more than 200 years, and there is another important factor in its development from scratch and from weak to strong, that is, the American spirit that began with Daniel Boone in March 1775 and ended with the Westward Expansion Movement.
The mountain pass in the picture is called Donna Pass. It was so named in honor of a cannibal and a cannibal, and a piece of history that Americans will never forget. And this mountain pass is what I call the American spirit, the best testimony. ā
Except for Professor Barbara Kellerman, who was sitting in the last row to listen, everyone was completely dumbfounded, wondering if Professor Tian had taken the wrong medicine and actually told them about American history.
At this time, a notebook appeared on the screen, and Professor Tian Da stepped down from the podium and continued with great solemnity: "In May 1846, thousands of Americans passed through this mountain pass, which is now the Lincoln Highway, and embarked on the westward road in search of hope. And most of these people are rich people......"
In the next half an hour, Tian Wenjian painted the world's largest wave of immigrants in everyone's minds.
In particular, the story of the Tanson-Donner family and others who were stranded in the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountains because they took the wrong path and could not reach their destination 48 kilometers away in time, the California Plains, and had to survive by cannibalism, and finally were eaten by others, made the students feel the determination of the Americans to conquer the West and the American spirit shaped by the Westward Expansion Movement.
The story was so well told that even Professor Barbara Kellerman couldn't help but stand up and give him a round of applause. Tian Wenjian nodded slightly, and while walking on the podium, he continued: "After talking about clean government for more than half a year, many people either say that I don't have a backache when I stand and talk, and think that in order for people to tell the truth and do practical things, there must be a system that can make people tell the truth and do practical things; Either I use the standards of saints to measure the laity, which is too far-fetched; At first glance, there is some truth to it, but I don't think so. The party constitution and constitution are written in black and white, which article and paragraph do not let people tell the truth and do practical things? I think it takes courage and determination to tell the truth and do practical things!
The United States has the spirit of westward expansion full of adventure and courage to fight and struggle, we have the revolutionary spirit of throwing away our heads and spilling blood, we have the spirit of fighting floods with one heart and one mind, and we have the spirit of dedicating one's life and sacrificing oneself for others to fight against the United States. It's just that we talk about these spirits, but we don't hold them in our hands. ā
After going around in a big circle, it was still a clean government, and everyone reacted. While scanning the crowd with murderous eyes, Professor Tian Da summed up with a painful heart: "The reason why the United States is strong is that the spirit of westward expansion has been inherited. Laundry and cooking, shopping on the street, painting the roof, tidying up the garage and other menial work, no matter the status of the person, as long as they can do it, they will do it themselves, will not spend money on services, and will never feel undignified because of this.
Are they saints? No...... They are just as common as we are! But what about some of our party members and cadres? The better ones are at peace with the situation, do not want to forge ahead, almost enjoy the first, endure hardships later, ride on the heads of the people to give orders, and do power, not to mention what spirit to carry forward......! ā
What kind of song to sing on which mountain, Vice Dean Wu never thought that Professor Tian Da would talk about clean government in this way. After all, Zhongpu College is different from Jinggshan Cadre College and Yan'an Cadre College, and it is not easy to give an example of internationalization in an international atmosphere, and it can also fit the theme.
