No. 296 Don't want to be a dog

No. 296 does not want to be a dog

The destructive power of the bureaucracy is so staggering.

They may not be able to do good, but they are capable of doing bad.

If the bureaucrats are allowed to eat away at the foundation of Panyang City, Wei Dongsheng's hard work in Panyang City will surely die on the way like Xingyun and Tianhe No. 1. The supercomputer industry is a trivial matter, and Zhiyu Group can avoid most of the troubles by raising its own scientific research funds; And if you want to protect Panyang City, money is not everything. In China, power always comes first, and a thin paper can easily kill a market of tens of billions of yuan, and only the same level of power has the ability to curb the willfulness of power.

Of course, Wei Dongsheng also has a backstage.

For example, Gong Qixing.

For example, Jin Zongxian, Nan Pojun and other high-ranking officials.

Even as long as Wei Dongsheng serves sincerely, the first assistant of the cabinet, the fourth generation, and the prince can also talk.

The problem is that under the Chinese system, capital is no match for power, and the result of the union of capital and power is inevitably that capital is subordinate to power and exists, becoming the worst bureaucratic capitalism in the world predicted by someone. In the United States, capital is not on an equal footing with "power"; In China, power will not be on an equal footing with "capital", and if Wei Dongsheng really wants to take refuge in anyone, he must have the consciousness of being a lackey of his subordinates.

The lackeys under the door have no financial freedom, and all capital will be owned by the backstage, and Wei Dongsheng will be reduced to a high-level worker who constantly creates wealth for the backstage. If there is an economic need in the background, for example, when he wants to hemorrhage and win over a certain faction to support him during the "big change in ten years" two years later, he will definitely not hesitate to split the Spring and Autumn faction at the level of economic interests in exchange for the most noble level of political interests; If Wei Dongsheng does not favor the backstage at a certain time, or the backstage is tired of Wei Dongsheng's face, he may promote his recently optimistic henchmen at any time and replace Wei Dongsheng as the new capital white glove.

The reason is simple, dogs are just dogs after all.

When the master likes you, he is willing to raise you as a son; When the owner hates you, he won't feed you a bowl of water.

However, in the context of not being able to judge whether the past life and this life are really parallel time and space, Wei Dongsheng must not completely give up the quantum fluctuation circle plan. Wei Dongsheng is unwilling to sacrifice the political game in the background of the Spring and Autumn Period, nor is he willing to sacrifice the political game in the background of the quantum fluctuation circle.

Some people may say that since political interests are higher than economic interests, wouldn't it be more efficient to use the power of the background to promote the construction of the quantum fluctuation circle when the backstage wins a big victory in the process of "a big change in the decade"?

Such an idea is too idealistic.

First of all, since you are someone's lackey, since capital is a vassal of power, power drives capital as a matter of course. This is not equal cooperation, nor is it an equal transaction, the background is in a good mood, and it will promote the construction of the quantum fluctuation circle in order to appease you; If you're in a bad mood, I'll take you every second.

Second, if you are not willing to risk exposing black technologies such as computer intelligent life, a project of this level will require at least 2 trillion yuan of investment. Considering the impact of the $4 trillion plan on China's economy, it should be understood that this level of investment must be approved by the collective resolution of the cabinet elders. What did the backstage do to persuade the other elders to agree to build a quantum fluctuation circle? If the final result is a comedy in which the Shadow Empire's rout did not come, how can Wei Dongsheng explain the quantum fluctuation circle that cost two trillion yuan but has no effect?

Of course, more importantly, Wei Dongsheng doesn't want to be a dog.

Even if the other party is the supreme of a country, Wei Dongsheng doesn't want to be his dog.

What Wei Dongsheng hopes for is equal cooperation, at least relative equality.

This may be a luxury, but it is worth Wei Dongsheng's hard work and practice.

Returning to the predicament of Panyang City, at a time when the top level of the cabinet wants to puppet the Spring and Autumn Period, it is an unrealistic naïve thinking to hope that there will be a Ming monarch and a virtuous minister and a saint to help in an emergency. Since the Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers and saints could not look forward to it, Wei Dongsheng and Song Ningxing simply decided to take the lower route, unite the masses in Panyang City, unite the grassroots officials in Panyang City, and temporarily build Panyang City into a local independent kingdom with negative colors, so as to fight against greed from all sides.

The word unity is easier said than done.

Taking the housing price control that public opinion is most concerned about as an example, 2007 and 2010 were both years of crazy housing prices in China. In 2007, Song Ningxing curbed housing prices in Panyang by increasing the supply of affordable housing and low-cost public rental housing, and the results showed that the policy at that time was quite effective; In 2010, the same trick failed, because the real estate speculation groups from all over the country began to flock to Panyang City brainlessly, they frantically bought and bought, relying on massive funds to kill all new real estate, artificially creating a shortage of rigid needs.

These real estate speculation groups are really rich.

Some of them are insurance companies, which cooperate with relevant banks with the user's insurance premium as a guarantee, and can even easily leverage hundreds of billions of yuan; Some of them are large state-owned enterprises, which not only have a very considerable cash flow, but also can transfer risks to banks through various policy incentives......

Speaking of which, regardless of whether they are state-owned enterprises or private enterprises on the surface, whether they are engaged in the insurance industry or the energy industry, the commonality between them is white-glove bureaucratic capital.

What they are betting on is not whether Song Ningxing can effectively control the housing prices in Panyang City, but the new Panyang City after Song Ningxing leaves office.

When they tacitly dismember the power structure of the 13 Standing Committee members of Panyang City, Panyang City will surely move towards land finance like other cities, and quickly release the real estate energy that matches Panyang City's per capita GDP of 10,000 US dollars. Bureaucratic capital believes in its own strength and simply hoards houses in the name of strategic investment, and other related social capital is also driven by relevant good news, and real estate speculation groups across the country have flocked to Panyang City one after another.

However, Panyang City is not an overcrowded Yanjing City, and talents from all walks of life from all over the country are the soft power of Panyang City's economic rise. If the housing prices in Panyang City are artificially pushed up to the same level as Yanjing and Shenhai, a large number of middle-class talents will be stopped by the inflated housing prices, which will drag down the national strategic layout of Panyang City and affect the orderly development of related manufacturing industries.

Considering that the Spring and Autumn Period could not compete with the real estate speculation group with bureaucratic capital as the pioneer, Song Ningxing decisively sacrificed the real estate tax killer and forcibly raised the hoarding cost of the real estate speculation group. Since June 2010, the property tax has been levied on non-public welfare properties, and a property with a market value of one million yuan must pay 20,000 yuan per year. Although Song Ningxing has no way to change the grand occasion of the real estate speculation group to kill new real estate, he can use the annual fixed income of the real estate tax to continue to invest in the construction of public rental housing and ease the housing pressure of the middle class.

In short, for the sake of the future of Panyang City, in order to make the housing prices in Panyang City more stable and reasonable, Song Ningxing came out with an iron fist and implemented the real estate tax.

However, the propertied class in Panyang City did not understand and were unwilling to understand Song Ningxing's painstaking efforts. Eight out of ten Panyang citizens who own tradable properties hope that housing prices will skyrocket to the level of Yanjing, and then become multimillionaires and billionaires. It's a pity that in the six years that Song Ningxing has been in charge of Panyang City, he has always unremittingly cracked down on the food and rent class, and the real estate tax that has been quickly released from Taiwan has even more heavily shattered everyone's dream of buying a house and getting rich. Bureaucratic capital took advantage of this public opinion at the right time to criticize Song Ningxing and Panyang City by name on print media platforms and Internet platforms. The media deliberately ignored the existence of Zhuwei Group's welfare rental housing and the construction of public rental housing in Panyang City, and used other cities as a model, saying that the real estate tax could not alleviate the rise in housing prices, that the real estate tax was the only life money in Song Ningxing's pockets, and that the real estate tax was purely a harsh policy of the local government-the government was insane.

Wait a minute.

In the past year, Song Ningxing's image has plummeted.

In the long run, the implementation of property tax in Panyang City is inevitable, which is also the only reliable strategy for Panyang City to resist property speculation groups; However, the policy of taking money out of the pockets of the people is destined to be unlikeable by everyone. The real estate policy has greatly reduced Song Ningxing's glorious image and official reputation, and many citizens even hated Song Ningxing for persistently suppressing real estate, and they were so excited to firecracker when they heard the news of Song Ningxing's resignation. Panyang City is okay, only three or four percent of the people who scolded Song Ningxing and the dog officials; Out of Panyang City, the vast majority of the people were spreading false information about corruption and contempt for Song Ningxing.

It's easy to talk about unity, but how to unite exactly?

Song Ningxing does not control housing prices, and may scold him overwhelmingly in the future, saying that he unveiled the rise of Panyang City and ended the rise of Panyang City; Perhaps because the law does not blame the public, the people feel that the world is as black as a crow, and Song Ningxing is no exception. And Song Ningxing's use of real estate tax to fight against the property speculation group has now hurt the interests of the public, how to persuade them to sincerely continue to support Song Ningxing?

The hidden dangers of the future are not as important as the immediate interests.

If you don't do it well, if you do it, you will be wrong, and that's what we mean by this prisoner's dilemma.

Song Ningxing said that it is easy to unite the people of Panyang City, but it is extremely difficult to get the people of Panyang City to support his real estate tax policy.

In the same way, the grassroots civil servants who are more complicated than the minds of the masses, Song Ningxing and Wei Dongsheng want them to sincerely continue to support the rules of the game formulated before, which is 100,000 times more difficult than imagined.

But, no matter what, do it anyway.

Do it, maybe die.

If you don't do it, you will definitely die.

At the moment of despair, Wei Dongsheng could only hold on to a glimmer of life and do his best to alleviate the dismemberment of all forces.

Before Song Ningxing left office, Wei Dongsheng gathered the high-level officials of the Spring and Autumn Department to take the "smart city" as an opportunity to have a dialogue with the bureaucracy of Panyang City, hoping to coordinate the interests of all parties in advance and do his best to maintain the unity within Panyang City. The smart city plan is also the name of Yi Xingzhi, the current mayor of Panyang City and the next secretary of the Panyang Municipal Party Committee. Yi Xingzhi accompanied Song Ningxing to sign one contract after another, swearing with a smile that he was willing to "follow the rules" and respect the rules of the game in Panyang City.

It may not be a successful conference, but it is a meeting of unity.
