Oh... I suddenly understood and stopped interrupting, letting him continue. Hmm, that makes sense. Next, it should be either favoritism or appointing people based on merit, right? I asked. Not only is appointing people based on merit not at the forefront, but favoritism also comes later!" This opening statement was unusual, so I quickly asked: Oh, why is that? "Still doesn't come first," the old man said, "the second position is 'appointing people as a group'. Nowadays, the officialdom has a complex situation, fierce struggles, seemingly harmonious on the surface, but actually tripping each other up. If you are alone in the officialdom without a few like-minded brothers helping you, you can't do anything, not only can't get things done, but also won't keep your position for long, and will soon be replaced." As for "talent left in the wild", I realized I had met a wise person from the folk, and couldn't help but marvel at the developed wisdom of our Chinese folk. Those big shots who think they're elites and look down on common people, I hope you can read this little article. "After taking care of the higher-ups and arranging the people around you properly, you can move to the third step, which is 'appointing people based on money.' Why? Because 'money' is more important than 'family', 'family' is still someone else, 'money' goes into your own pocket." "The first place is 'appointing people based on superiors', meaning, understand the intentions of your superiors, and appoint whoever they tell you to. Otherwise, if your superior gets upset, your position won't be stable, let alone wanting to progress further." Once, while on a train, I met a retired official from Anhui province, who explained some principles that made me enlightened, as if I had been doused with a bucket of cold water. "The fourth place is 'appointing people based on flattery'. Once your position is secure and you've made money, it's time to have a few sycophants around you to enjoy life. Chen Yi once said: who doesn't love flattery, songs of praise make gods happy. You mustn't underestimate this flattery, it's a science, not everyone can do it well. If done poorly, it's nauseating. But if done well, the person being flattered feels infinite joy. Let me put it this way, it's addictive, like smoking opium!" "Sixth place, then it's 'appointing people based on family'. We Chinese value family ties, once everything is taken care of, it's time to take care of friends and relatives, otherwise it would seem too heartless. Being too heartless invites criticism." Just like in operas, the old man slowly said: "Listen to me explain slowly..." Frequently, we hear leaders solemnly proclaim in various occasions: "Our cadre route is appointing people based on merit, not favoritism." It sounds respectful, but reality isn't like that at all, which is quite disappointing. "Only at seventh place does 'appointing people based on merit' come. But there are nuances here. No matter how capable you are, you can't be a troublemaker, and you can't constantly give leaders advice, especially opposing advice. If you constantly give leaders advice, ignore their instructions, and don't follow their decided plans, always having your own ideas, even thinking your ideas are better than the leader's, then sorry, no matter how capable you are, the leader won't use you, and if used, will remove you, regardless of whether you're meritorious or not!" ---------------------------------------- Cluster version, single-machine version, PC version (Chinese and English versions available) Bluetooth advertising machines to choose from.

Now the GDP growth, we don't know about your big cities, but down here, it's all exaggerated. When it's time to report GDP numbers, the heads of counties and towns look at each other, wide-eyed, unwilling to report first. Why? If you report first, you leave yourself no room. For example, if you report your GDP growth as 11%, I'll report 11.5%, putting my political achievements ahead of yours. Leaders like faster GDP growth, but it can't be too unrealistic, or it becomes a joke and the leaders won't be happy. Of course, if you're stubborn and report exactly what the actual growth is, the leaders will be even less happy! You're dragging the leader down! Leaders want progress too, right? So, 'appointing people based on exaggeration', this point is also very important."
