0206 Refined Egoist
Xu Haodong is very satisfied with Yao Xingbin's cleverness, and it seems that Chang Dalin, the head of the city's armed forces, recommended it correctly, and it is not inferior to Chen Yang, the former director of the municipal government office. Originally, Xu Haodong was afraid that Yao Xingbin would have concerns, and he wanted to pretend and find a reason to explain a few words, since Yao Xingbin directly picked it out, he didn't have to hide it.
"Lao Yao, thank you for your understanding." However, Xu Haodong still has to explain, "I also have no choice, the superiors have new requirements for the top leaders, and to manage the key minority well is to manage the two sets of team members." How? What's the matter? There are no certain rules, so you can only cross the river by feeling the stones. ”
"Secretary Haodong, I resolutely listen to the leader." Yao Xingbin expressed understanding and obedience.
Xu Haodong snorted and stopped being verbose, "Okay, you can tell me about the situation of the municipal government team, but there are two, one is to say them one by one, and the other is to tell the truth." ”
Yao Xingbin was still very cautious when he spoke, thinking about it first, and then he opened his mouth, "Let's talk about the past, at the beginning of the new team, the small meetings of the conference must be continuous, but now it seems that there are not many meetings, except for a division of labor meeting, the municipal government team has not yet held an important meeting, and the entire team has not yet formed a joint force, and has not straightened out the work ideas." ”
Xu Haodong nodded, "Fewer meetings, or even no meetings, this is the request of the superiors, and it is also my request for the new team of the municipal government." As for the fact that the joint force has not yet been formed, and the work ideas have not been straightened out, it may be that the time is too short, the second is the combination of the old and the new, and the third is that most of the members have just arrived in the new position, in short, this is quite normal. ”
"On the other hand, I always feel that after the establishment of the new team, there is a strange atmosphere, there is no new atmosphere that the new team should have, but it is quiet. Many staff members of the city government office have privately discussed that they have never seen such a situation, but they cannot explain what it is. ”
Xu Haodong thought about it and said: "I think, maybe there are several reasons, first, everyone hasn't entered the role yet, and they are still trying to position themselves. Second, it is the inherent hostility between the old members and the new members that has caused the whole team to fall into a state of dead silence, which I have encountered before. Third, either everyone is hiding from the cheats, waiting for the idea to have a plan, and then show it at the right time. Fourth, it is a very terrible situation, vigorously fighting corruption, strictly administering the party, making everyone afraid of making mistakes, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, that the current situation of you look at me, I look at you, you wait for me, I wait for you, you wait for me, I wait for you, you wait for me, and I wait for you. ”
Yao Xingbin nodded and said: "Secretary Haodong, you have analyzed it very thoroughly, especially the fourth situation, which is not an isolated case now, but has a general tendency to spread. Secretary Haodong, to tell you the truth, now there is not only this situation in the city administrative center building, but also in the township streets and municipal departments below, the key depends on the leadership, if the leader is in this situation, then the entire department will be in a state of passive sabotage. ”
Nodding, Xu Haodong said: "Comrade Xingbin, this situation is very important, let's study it later, and now you continue to talk about the situation of the municipal government." ”
"In the city government team, I think there is still a situation where there is a lack of trust between each other, to put it more seriously, and even each has a ghost, waiting for each other to see other people's jokes. In particular, the city's public security system has been comprehensively rectified, and the city's agriculture, forestry, and fishery system has collapsed and become corrupt. ”
Xu Haodong said: "You're right, Xingbin, you can talk about the specifics." ”
"Secretary Haodong, let me first talk about Acting Mayor Li Jiguo, because Mayor Li has been working in Yunling for a long time, everyone knows him better, including me, we all admire him more, dare to do it, and say that he is more courageous. Of course, sometimes it is inevitable to go a little too far, and it is easy to make mistakes when making decisions on the edge of the policy. However, Mayor Li is also sometimes more arbitrary, unable to listen to different opinions, and sometimes hurts the relationship and friendship between comrades. As for now, as for now......"
Xu Haodong said: "Say it directly, say it directly." ”
"As for now, I have a feeling that I don't know if it's right or wrong. used to be the executive vice mayor, and he was the second-in-command on the side of the municipal government, and in the two sets of leadership groups in the city, the executive vice mayor could not enter the core of power, so Mayor Li did not have to bear too much responsibility, and someone would take care of what he did, and it would be easier for him to do things. And now he is the head of a city, the number one on the side of the city government, and the second in command and the core of power in the two sets of leadership groups of the city. ”
Xu Haodong nodded, "Let's talk about the current executive vice mayor Kong Zhenghao." ”
"I think Kong Zhenghao is another style compared with Mayor Li Jiguo, he is cultivated and educated, but everyone generally thinks that he has a soft personality and can't do big things, if the first and second leaders don't support it, then it is even more difficult for him to make a difference. In the current municipal government team, Mayor Li doesn't seem to be very happy to see Kong Zhenghao, and Chen Xiujie, Wu Junqi and others are not very convinced by him, so his situation is a little embarrassing. According to the staff of the municipal government office, Chen Xiujie and Wu Junqi had more contact with Mayor Li Jiguo, but rarely had contact with Kong Zhenghao, while the three new deputy mayors, Liu Junru, Shen Lianwen and Tao Shulan, were the opposite of Chen Xiujie and Wu Junqi, and had more contact with Kong Zhenghao and went to Mayor Li Jiguo's side. ”
Xu Haodong sighed lightly, "This is what I expected." ”
"Some people say, some people say that Executive Vice Mayor Kong Zhenghao is like a refined egoist, or, or a little inclined to become a refined egoist."
Xu Haodong didn't speak, but laughed softly.
Yao Xingbin hurriedly asked: "Secretary Haodong, I, did I say it wrong?" ”
Waving his hand, Xu Haodong said with a smile: "Exquisite egoist, this word has just become popular on the Internet, which means that you Yao Xingbin also know how to surf the Internet." Tell me what it means to be a refined egoist. ”
The term refined egoist was invented by Qian Liqun, a retired professor of the Department of Chinese at Capital University, who said that refined egoists, they are highly intelligent, worldly, old, good at performing, know how to cooperate, and are better at using the system to achieve their own goals. The crux of such an absolute and refined egoist problem is that he has no faith, no great concern, no great compassion, no sense of responsibility and a sense of responsibility that goes beyond his own selfish interests, and he will inevitably regard his own selfish desires as the only goal to pursue. ”
Xu Haodong asked: "Is there anything wrong with this explanation?" Is there an absolutely refined egoist in this world? ”
Yao Xingbin said: "Secretary Haodong, I also know a little about it, and I ask the leaders to help me solve my doubts." ”
Xu Haodong said: "Personally, I think this statement is a bit problematic because he completely opposes self-interest and altruism. In economics, there is the so-called rational person, and the code of conduct of the rational person is to achieve self-interest through fine calculation. Of course, there is no absolute rational person, that is to say, there is no absolute refined egoist, most people are often driven by superficial and momentary dynamics, whether it is a shopping mall or workplace officialdom, there is no absolute zero-sum game, therefore, self-interest and altruism are not either/or, which Mr. Qian, who studies literature, has not thought deeply about. ”
"Historically, human beings have been uniquely able to survive in a variety of different competitions and eventually occupy the top of the food chain by cooperation, that is, the results of cooperation are both self-interested and altruistic. The best at self-interest is often the best at altruism. On the contrary, people who are overly idealistic can easily sacrifice others when they sacrifice themselves, which we have seen too much in the practice of the past few decades. Therefore, a society that promotes altruism will have basically the opposite result and can only create a hypocritical society. The former egoist added the word exquisite, these two words are meaningful, with these two words, when we are self-interested, of course, we must consider doing beautifully, not leaving a handle for others, that is, you can't harm others and benefit yourself, you must benefit yourself and others, otherwise the next time everyone sees you, you will take a detour. ”
In fact, the premise of altruism is self-interest, whether material or spiritual. If you are materially poor, what do you use to benefit others? We can also raise self-interest to the spiritual level, for example, I want to know more than others in terms of knowledge, have a stronger desire for knowledge than others, and accumulate more in literature, art, and religion than others, which is also a kind of self-interest, and with these conditions, we can share our rich spiritual world with others and achieve altruism spiritually. Finally, I would like to say a few words about the good American students who are the opposite of the refined egoists of our country, the sheep of the American Ivy League schools that Mr. Wan Weigang talked about. These sheep are looking for a well-rounded person, not just exam scores, they participate in a lot of extracurricular and sports activities, have strong organizational skills, volunteer or go to a big company for an internship. Their purpose in doing this is actually the same as that of egoists, but also to complete various assessment indicators and become a high-achieving student. And although the assessment methods are different, the results of education in the East and the West are the same, and the cultivation of refined egoists will certainly have defects of one kind or another, but I think that the backbone of society is precisely these people. ”
Yao Xingbin nodded, smiled and asked, "Secretary Haodong, can this point of view of yours be made public?" ”
Xu Haodong laughed, "Old Yao, what do you say?" ”
Yao Xingbin also laughed, "I think since it is right, of course it can be made public and publicized." ”
"Nope." However, Xu Haodong shook his head and put away his smile.
