Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 424 The Essence of Struggle! The Game of Thrones!

Tianhai.

Inside an old-fashioned Western-style house.

When Ge Junshan was giving Liao Chenxi advice and suggestions.

Fu Zhihang put down his teacup, also preparing to lecture Fu Wenbing and Zhao Ruilong.

Especially his son, Fu Wenbing.

Although I've worked in the system for many years, I've spent most of my time in state-owned enterprises.

They have experience in managing businesses, but their experience in governing local areas is clearly insufficient.

"Wen Bing and Rui Long, do you two even know what politics is?"

Fu Zhihang asked with a warm smile.

"I know!"

Fu Wenbing was the first to raise his hand.

"Politics is about making as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible!"

"A successful politician is one who can unite the majority, isolate the minority, and reach a consensus among the vast majority of people!"

"Of course, to do this, one must always keep a clear head, know who the enemy is and who the friend is, and then decide who to ally with and who to defeat!"

Fu Zhihang nodded slightly and glanced sideways at Zhao Ruilong.

"Uncle, I'm in business, how would I know anything about politics?"

Fu Zhihang shook his head and said with a smile:

“Ruilong, just because you don’t work within the system doesn’t mean you don’t need to understand politics.”

"As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there is a jianghu (江湖, a world of martial arts and chivalry), and where there is a jianghu, there is politics."

"Not to mention the companies you invest in and control, the number of formal employees in your Huilong Group is now close to 200,000."

"What does 200,000 people mean? Do you know that, let alone a county-level unit, many cities in our Dragon Country don't even have 200,000 permanent residents!"

"So how can you not understand politics if you want to manage so many people? Even though the Huilong Group is so large, your second sister is in charge of its daily operations. You should know a little bit about it, right?"

Zhao Ruilong smiled slightly.

I picked up my teacup and took a sip to moisten my throat.

"Then I'll briefly share my own views on politics!"

"I think a company is similar to a country in many ways and in many aspects."

"For example, they all have personnel systems and reward and punishment systems, all in order to compete for more resources in order to survive better."

"Moreover, there is cooperation, competition, and even war between countries, and the same is true between companies. It's just that under the constraints of law and morality, business battles are generally bloodless."

"I believe that the essence of politics is the use of power, and the essence of power is the allocation of resources and the construction of order. Therefore, whoever controls the resources controls politics, and whoever controls the rules determines victory or defeat!"

Fu Zhihang clapped his hands repeatedly.

"Good, good, good! Well said!"

"No wonder Old Shen admires this young talent!"

"You truly are Zhao Lichun's precious son!"

"Your answer to this question is clearly simpler and easier to understand than Wenbing's!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fu Wenbing retorted indignantly:

"Dad, are you kidding me? My answer was so concise and straightforward, wasn't it simple and easy to understand?"

Fu Zhihang burst into laughter.

She pointed at her son and then took a sip of tea slowly.

"Your answer is quite good, but it's too theoretical."

"It's like when someone asks you how to live a good life, you just answer by saying you need to make more money."

"But how do you earn that? You didn't say. At least Ruilong's answer suggested that you could work or start a business!"

Fu Wenbing gave a cold smile.

"So, according to you, being good at politics means having more resources?"

Fu Zhihang chuckled and shook his head.

"A good politician should know how to seize resources, but simply seizing them is not enough; he must also know how to distribute them."

"Just like when you're the top executive in a company, you firmly control the finances and personnel, which means you control the resources."

"If you don't know how to allocate resources when faced with hardworking employees, sycophantic people, lazy bums, and so on, your company will be a complete mess."

"If those who shouldn't have benefited get the benefits, while those who should have been rewarded are neglected, won't the company fall into chaos? Right, Ruilong?"

Zhao Ruilong nodded repeatedly.

After transmigrating, although he never served as an official for a single day, he frequently came into contact with people within the system.

Among them were many high-ranking officials, such as Gao Yuliang, Li Dakang, and Zhang Jinchong.

Of course, the person I had the most contact with and learned the most from was my father, Zhao Lichun.

After interacting with so many people, Zhao Ruilong realized that managing a company and managing an organization are actually the same thing.

Everyone should try their best to use limited resources to accomplish their respective tasks and goals.

However, the primary goal of private enterprises is to make a profit, while the primary goal of government agencies is stability.

"Hey, don't just nod!"

Fu Wenbing glared at him and said:

"Even my dad praised you for explaining things in a simple and easy-to-understand way. How can you be a good leader if you don't explain more?"

Zhao Ruilong retorted, "Still going to talk?"

Fu Wenbing glared and said, "Of course I have to talk about it! I'm going to Xirong to be the executive vice mayor. As my brother, how can you not offer more advice?"

Zhao Ruilong did not speak immediately.

He first took out a cigarette case and offered cigarettes to Fu Zhihang before sitting down and saying:

"Let me share my dad's experience!"

"He told me that to be a good leader, you have to be able to endure grievances."

"Because everyone's family background, upbringing, education, and so on are different."

"Therefore, they are quite different in terms of work ability, professional ethics, and moral values."

"To be a good leader, you have to put aside your personal likes and dislikes and integrate everyone into a team by establishing systems, clarifying directions, and allocating resources in order to accomplish tasks."

"Conflicts are inevitable between veterans and newcomers, between short-term difficulties and long-term goals, between gentlemen and scoundrels, etc., so as a leader, you must coordinate and handle them well."

"There are no people in this world who don't have conflicts, and there is no such thing as smooth sailing. Any goal will basically have to be discounted, and anything can go wrong. So you have to be good at compromising with people and things."

"Moreover, a leader cannot be too selfish or willful. If you want to have credibility, you must keep your word and be consistent in your words and deeds. When allocating resources and encountering trouble, you cannot seek personal gain or avoid harm, or only care about yourself!"

"Thinking about it this way, don't you feel that being a leader means suffering grievances? Especially being a leader within the system, where there are people managing you and people watching you, and you have to maintain the stability and balance of the group, so don't you have to endure all kinds of things?"

Fu Wenbing turned to look at his father.

Before he could even speak, Fu Zhihang pointed and laughed:

“Ruilong is right! When an organization assesses whether someone is capable of taking on important responsibilities, it looks at whether they have a sense of responsibility.”

“A responsible person is someone who can endure hardship, right? If you can’t even endure the slightest hardship, what kind of leader are you?”

After taking a drag of his cigarette, Fu Zhihang let out a long exhale.

"When we were inspecting COMAC in China this afternoon, Ruilong said something very insightful."

"Cultural workers must be cultured, and scientific and technological workers must understand science and technology."

"Let me add one more thing: those who are involved in politics must have political ideals and political stances."

"Only with lofty ideals and a firm stance can you broaden your horizons and consider the overall situation."

"Only when contradictions arise, when unexpected events occur, or when you are attacked by sugar-coated bullets can you maintain a clear mind and avoid losing your composure."

Fu Wenbing straightened his back and said in a firm and powerful voice:

"My ideal is to transform Xirong City, with its three counties and twelve districts and a population of over ten million, into an international metropolis in western China that is characterized by thriving industries, a prosperous economy, well-developed infrastructure, and an environmentally friendly environment!"

"To achieve this grand goal, I can endure any hardship, no matter how great or numerous. Moreover, I will be diligent and dedicated to serving the people, and I will never covet even the slightest personal gain!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruilong couldn't help but think to himself.

Fu Wenbing, Fu Wenbing, it doesn't matter to you whether you have grand goals or not.

As long as you don't cross the line, even if you achieve nothing after going to Xirong, you can still make progress after a year or two.

Moreover, under the strategy of developing the western region, China has not only allocated a large amount of funds, but also provided many favorable policies.

It's said that even a pig can be blown to the sky if it stands in the right place at the right time. Fu Wenbing, who is able to benefit from the era's dividends, can certainly make progress even if he's just lying down.

of course.

Parents who love their children will surely plan far ahead for them.

Perhaps this was also a personal motive of Fu Zhihang.

I knew this was a golden opportunity to improve my grades.

As long as his son doesn't make any major mistakes and catches up with the Western Development Program, a promotion is inevitable.

As for trying to persuade him to invest in Xirong...

This is merely icing on the cake.

Even without investing itself, given Xirong's unique advantages and its solid industrial and educational foundation, it will inevitably experience rapid development and rise under the guidance of strong national investment.

Fu Zhihang was naturally gratified by Fu Wenbing's resounding statement.

"Good, good, good! A real man keeps his word!"

"As long as you never forget your original aspiration, you will surely achieve great things!"

Fu Wenbing then asked:

"Dad, after I go to Xirong, will I be able to emulate Handong in developing a high-quality economy?"

"you?"

Fu Zhihang frowned and said, "Different places, different situations. Be careful not to try to be a tiger and end up like a dog!"

"No way?"

Fu Wenbing chuckled and put his arm around Zhao Ruilong's shoulder.

"What's available in Handong, we also have in Xirong!"

"Universities, research institutions, military enterprises, and large state-owned enterprises—what Handong has, Xirong also has."

"Moreover, I invited Ruilong to invest in high-tech industries in Xirong, and we already have the funds and projects!"

"Furthermore, Xirong has a greater advantage than Handong in terms of manpower, land, and raw materials!"

At this point, Fu Wenbing turned his head and looked at Zhao Ruilong with a smile.

"Am I right, bro?"

Zhao Ruilong gave an awkward but polite smile.

“I don’t know much about other aspects, but I do know that wages and housing prices in Xirong are indeed lower than in Jingzhou.”

“At the Huilong Hotel in Xirong, we offer our waiters a base salary of 1800 yuan, plus social insurance and housing fund benefits. I heard that a lot of people come to apply, and the crowds are so large that they almost block the road.”

Fu Wenbing laughed and said, "I've seen last year's statistics report. As the provincial capital of Sichuan, Xirong's average annual income for employed workers was only a little over ten thousand yuan last year!"

"Your Huilong Group is a well-known large enterprise. You offer a guaranteed salary of 1800 yuan and also provide social insurance and housing fund benefits. With such a good job, how could everyone not be scrambling to get one?"

Fu Wenbing's smile suddenly froze.

Seeing her father's worried expression, she immediately stopped smiling.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Fu Zhihang took a deep drag on his cigarette.

"Jobs with a monthly income of over two thousand are quite common in coastal provinces and cities."

"In factories like Huilong Electronics, there are easily three or four thousand, or even five or six thousand, workers on the production line!"
