"It's hard for me to help you tell this lie." Canglong shook his head, "You have always thought that I was doing things excessively, but in fact, compared to you, my excesses are nothing." ”

Secretary Yu was not disappointed, but said: "You don't have to lie to her, but you don't have to say it, if you say it, she will definitely stay by my side, and there are some things I have to do, if it weren't for your appearance, maybe I have completed my goal." ”

Hearing this, Canglong was silent, he knew that he couldn't convince Secretary Yu, because he was not Secretary Yu, but the secretary of the municipal party committee, who sacrificed his family and fulfilled countless families, and the final outcome was probably not the expected good, but necessarily bad, is it really worth it?

"Are you still against me being with Yu Xue?" Canglong asked suddenly.

"You're people from two worlds, and being together only adds to frustration." Secretary Yu shook his head, "I don't know what else you don't know, but I just want my daughter to live an ordinary life." ”

"What I've always wanted to give her is also plain." Canglong's tone was firm.

"It's just that you can't give it to her right now, can you?" Secretary Yu suddenly stared at Canglong, "It's like you didn't pass my test, I know that you actually have something unspeakable, but I can't understand you, just like you can't understand what I do, the two of us are actually the same people, but the environment is different." ”

Canglong shook his head with a wry smile, this secretary of the municipal party committee is not as ignorant as she imagined, on the contrary, she knows a lot of things, even if some she can't imagine, but she can still judge it through logical relationships, at this moment he really doesn't know how to convince his mother-in-law.

After being silent for a long time, Canglong suddenly said, "Do you think this city is happy?" ”

"Happiness?" Secretary Yu's face was puzzled, "Some people are happy, some people are unhappy, this is the inevitable result." ”

"In human nature, there is such a logic, for the interests of the majority of people, and sacrifice the interests of a small number of people, if you judge by this logic, in fact, this city is unhappy, this is also your consistent logic." Canglong looked at her, but he didn't shy away from it, "It's just that it was before, and now it's for the benefit of a small number of people, sacrificing the interests of the majority." ”

"What do you want to say?" Secretary Yu frowned.

"I would say that when the mainstream population in a city is not living as well as it wants, the city is economically developed, and it doesn't make any sense." Canglong said calmly, "Since I came here, what I have felt is a deep local consciousness, which is good at some times, but also bad at some times, and it does more harm than good."

"You're too young to change the established policies, not even me." Secretary Yu seems to know what Canglong wants to say, but the current policy is that the economy comes first and people's livelihood comes second.

"No, you can actually change." Canglong raised his head, "Every year, officials from Dongning City go to Europe and the United States to inspect their advanced systems, but this kind of inspection often becomes a publicly-funded tour, and what is really brought back is actually just selective integration." ”

"Selective integration?" Secretary Yu's face changed.

"They often bring back policies that are beneficial to themselves to implement, and policies that are not conducive to themselves are directly banned, which is China's selective integration, I don't know how other cities are, but I know that Dongning City is actually like this." Canglong said calmly, "Just like traditional Chinese culture, as the saying goes, if you don't learn what is good, you will learn bad." ”

"That's what officialdom is all about." Secretary Yu shook his head, "The direction should be conducive to economic development, not a retrogressive economy." ”

"You're going to talk to me about economics?" Canglong suddenly smiled, "Even if the new economic zone in Dongning City is established, if the environment does not change, this economic zone will not be active, because the overall consciousness of Dongning City is xenophobic, not a mentality of acceptance." ”

"Are we xenophobic?" Secretary Yu suddenly felt a little funny, "The construction of the new economic zone is to attract investment. ”

"Huh." Canglong sneered and stopped talking.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at your ignorance."

"Ignorance?" Secretary Yu frowned, but he was not angry, "Then you are going to tell me why I am ignorant?" ”

"The so-called economy, is just the demand for buying and selling, thus giving birth to a variety of markets, all walks of life, and such a market is the need for people to activate it, if a country wants to develop the economy, then it must be more open, more tolerant attitude to accept foreign technical resources, a city to develop also needs to accept foreign resources and technology with this tolerant attitude." Canglong said.

"You go on." Secretary Yu listened attentively.

"Technology can be made up for by time, but resources are not, this resource can be said to be renewable resources and non-renewable resources, in my eyes, the development of Dongning City, are the use of non-renewable resources, which will only make Dongning City to a dead end, and eventually the economy will become a pool of stagnant water." Canglong said calmly, "And the real renewable resources, you have never known how to use them. ”

"Renewables?" Secretary Yu said strangely.

"Renewable resources are manpower, Dongning City can have now, relying on cheap labor, but with the development of society, cheap will not become cheap, especially the bottom of the group of people, although they are at the bottom of the economic food chain, but they are the real trend." Canglong looked at Secretary Yu and sneered, "A city, if it only knows how to exploit this group of people at the bottom, it will eventually make this kind of resource less and less, and now you are doing this kind of self-digging grave thing." ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Secretary Yu asked coldly.

Canglong didn't speak, but looked outside, and after a while, he said, "What I see is an ugly wrapped in a gorgeous appearance. ”

"Hmm." Secretary Yu's face became colder and colder.

"Because I can't feel the warmth of the city." Canglong looked at her without fear, "The most important group of people in a city are often not those who occupy the top, but those who live at the bottom, they are the largest group of people in the city, although the sum of their wages is not as good as the salary of a person in the high-income class, but whether the people in this city are happy or not depends on whether they are happy or not." ”

"I've been doing it." Secretary Yu somewhat understood the meaning of Canglong's words.

But Canglong looked at Secretary Yu sarcastically and said: "In a city that can't even pay the wages of migrant workers, how can we talk about so-called happiness?" In a city that can't even accommodate migrant workers, how can we talk about the so-called warmth? As the secretary of the municipal party committee, you know that when you are singing about social harmony, they are struggling in the New Year, they don't want much, but they work hard, and the little salary they have saved in a year, they only hope that they can take this money and go home for the New Year!! ”

"Is the purpose of your words?" Secretary Yu's face was cold, and the two once again competed against each other.

"I won't look for you, just like they can't get the salary they should get during the New Year, they won't go, because you will only perfunctory them, and it will only make them feel cold." Canglong's tone was cold, "Discrimination and exploitation are what you gave them, and they are also the spirit of this city. ”

Secretary Yu was suddenly silent, and at this moment she was suddenly thinking, what is the spirit of Dongning City? Although Canglong's words are very radical, they are very apt to describe it, and exploitation and discrimination are the spirit of the city.

Locals discriminate against outsiders, rich against poor, and they don't know that being discriminated against is the largest group in society.

"If a city really wants to be economically developed, the easiest way is to accept outsiders with a tolerant heart, whether they are poor or rich, regardless of their education, if the city can accept it, this is the best economic environment, because everyone will come to this city to seek their dreams, everyone wants to be able to show their talents in this city, how can this city not prosper?" Canglong's tone softened, "No matter which country, that world-class city, the most subjective reason why it can emerge is because they have an attitude of acceptance and tolerance, so that countless people are willing to run to this city, and countless people are willing to pay for this city, this is the city spirit that the new society should have, Dongning City has such an economic foundation, but there is no such economic environment." ”

Secretary Yu nodded, although what Canglong said was not all right, but the theme was very clear, that is, the spirit of the city, because a cohesive urban spirit can often drive the prosperity of the city, as Canglong said, Dongning City has a serious local consciousness and is extremely exclusive of foreign population, how can such a city become an economically developed economic city?

Some people may want to say that although Dongning City has a serious sense of locality, it has not developed to the point where it is today? However, Secretary Yu knows very well that this is not because of how good the environment of Dongning City is, but because of the sacrifice of countless non-renewable resources, and finally the current achievements.

If Dongning continues to develop in this mode of sacrifice, it is likely to end up in a backwater, because sooner or later, non-renewable resources will be squandered, and the city will have no value.

What is the real meaning of reform and opening up? Instead of sacrificing non-renewable resources in exchange for the false prosperity that is now, it is about taking advantage of openness and developing its own technology, its own talent.

In Secretary Yu's impression, the Dongning model is the sacrifice model that Canglong said from beginning to end, so that many foreign-funded enterprises began to withdraw from the Dongning market, because they have already used the city, rather than taking deep roots in the city, and the most important thing is that after opening up for decades, the private enterprises in Dongning City have not yet developed, and they are almost useless, which is the biggest mistake.

"You've gone around in a big circle just to let me call the shots for migrant workers, right?" Secretary Yu asked.

Canglong shook his head: "You always say that I am too aggressive, but why don't you do things yourself?" Whether it's in your family or career, you can actually choose a gentle way to give yourself some space and give others some space. ”

"Huh." Secretary Yu suddenly looked at Canglong and sneered, "You don't ask for my help, don't you have something to prepare?" ”

"Huh." Canglong also sneered, "This is what you should do, since you don't want to do it, then I have to force you to do it." ”

"Hmm." Secretary Yu's face was cold, but he didn't know what Canglong wanted to do
