Chapter 437 Two Stories

,

Except for Yan Shen, Fang Sheng did not know Professor Cheng and others, but his years of experience in the officialdom made him see that these professors and scholars all had great backgrounds and had a significant weight in the academic world. Relatively speaking, Yan Shen belongs to the younger generation and is a minor person.

Fang Sheng did not rush to express his opinion, but asked: "Does Dr. Niu agree with the third view?"

I just introduced that Dr. Niu is the chief representative of the China Association for Foreign Economic Exchanges and Cooperation. He graduated from Harvard University and is a doctoral student in both economics, management and finance. He must have a lot of brilliant and dazzling titles. He is also the leader of this project team.

"Basic identification," Dr. Niu said slowly, "but I think overseas returnee intellectuals need to be down-to-earth. It is necessary to go to the grassroots level to experience the people's sentiments and grasp the first-hand situation on the spot after familiarizing themselves with the system operation model on a high-level platform. Back then, Chairman Mao proposed that intellectuals go to the countryside, and it is still useful to put them in the present. Only when our official officials truly get along with the people, or regard themselves as part of the people, will they feel compassion when participating in the formulation and implementation of various policies."

A typical intellectual euphemism, on the surface, agreed with Professor Cheng's point of view, but at the end he realized that Dr. Niu essentially supported the second point of view.

The two team leaders had different opinions, so things were quite interesting. No wonder Yan Shen invited Fang Sheng, otherwise they would have been quarreled with each other and could not promote the research of the project.

Professor Xu, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly said: "Secretary Fang is a college student village official. I guess he should agree with the first point of view?"

"Yes, Secretary Fang comes from the grassroots level, and he has the most say in this regard." Yan Shen urged.

Fang Sheng thought for a while and said, "I am not good at theoretical exploration, so I will tell you a story of my personal experience..." Then he told the story of the Haohan Wind Power Expert Group doing geological exploration in Huaxi Village. Because it was too close to Longwang Temple, the villagers were worried that the Feng Shui would be broken, and the two sides would have a dispute. He was very eloquent and experienced it personally, so naturally it was vivid and thrilling.

Professors and scholars usually come into contact with such rural customs. They all listened attentively and forgot about the subject of dispute.

"How did this matter be resolved later?" Yan Shen asked everyone's thoughts.

Fang Sheng smiled and said, "Haohan Wind Power is almost always a returnee doctor. There is nothing we can do in front of the stubborn and ignorant villagers. Because people don't listen to reason, no one can explain the matter of Feng Shui clearly, so a deadlock has been formed. How to solve it? In the end, science will overcome superstition..."

Then he told the story of dumping red dye into the river water upstream, causing bright redness to the river water. Haohan Wind Power Project Team and the villagers were stunned. They thought the Dragon King showed their spirit, and the project team evacuated obediently. The villagers stopped causing trouble under the comfort of the working group.

Hearing this, the professor and scholars burst into laughter. Professor Cheng pondered for a long time and questioned:

"I am bluntly speaking, breaking feudal superstition is also a long-term job in the local government. Although Secretary Fang's move calmed down the incident, it has strengthened the villagers' worship of the Dragon King to some extent. Can it be said that it is a move to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall?"

Fang Sheng said in a stern voice: "I had a more scientific and appropriate solution to that conflict. The reason why I chose the Dragon King's way of showing off was because of longer-term work needs. On the one hand, there was a Dragon King Temple hundreds of years ago. If you forcibly erect a wind power rack in front of the temple, it would be inconsistent with the truth and reason, it would trigger large-scale group events and would last long. Some people would even make fierce moves, such as destroying the wind power rack, etc.; on the other hand, as the mayor of Santan Town, I was considering using this to suppress the vast wind power momentum so that they would not be so proud when dealing with disputes with local people in the future. Everything is self-centered, and they are used to local officials to suppress the people."

"Oh, that's it..." Professor Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

"I'll give another example, it's a bit like a brain teaser," Fang Sheng smiled. "Santan Town vigorously develops the economy of the industrial park. One night, a small ministry had a conflict with villagers, and hundreds of people flocked into the village to smash and loot," Seeing everyone in the box with their eyes wide open, he laughed in his heart and continued, "The conflict has subsided with all efforts. The next day I went to the village to inspect and encountered the villagers who came forward to marry, saying that his glass was smashed and demanded compensation. What if you encounter this situation?"

Professor Xu said: "I'll pay for it, how much does it cost to have two or three pieces of glass?"

Fang Sheng asked back: "If you compensate this company, what if the other households in the village have broken glass, they will claim compensation? If the glass is broken, what should you do if there is any loss in the fence, wall, and self-planting trees?"

"As long as the situation is true..." Professor Xu also found it difficult to define whether it is true, and he couldn't continue to say it embarrassedly.

Fang Sheng said: "I said at that time that since I broke it last night, the broken glass should still be there. Please take it out and try it out and pay it for me. After I said this, the villager quietly slipped away."

Yan Shen and others laughed.

"There are many similar interesting things, especially rural women's work, and a lot of cases cannot be praised. However, since it happens, it must be dealt with. Wisdom is required in this process. However, wisdom cannot be equated with diplomas, knowledge level, and whether you have the experience of returning home. Do you agree with this?"

If there were no two examples he had told, professors and scholars would definitely not agree with it. As senior intellectuals, what they proudly were possessing knowledge, and knowledge was wealth.

After a long silence, Dr. Niu said: "Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years. It seems that the research team said that they visited the grassroots level and had lost the glimpse and did not really sink. Frankly speaking, before Secretary Fang came, I had an idea, and I felt that it was a bit aggrieved to be a county party secretary based on his own talent, and I would probably have to work as a municipal party secretary..."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Professor Xu smiled and said, "Sorry, I think so too."

"But just heard what Secretary Fang said, we were not qualified to be the mayor! This conclusion is shocking, and it also shows that the topic of the Organization Department of the Central Committee is not as easy as I thought, and it still requires more energy to carefully and in-depth extract first-hand information, so that further research can be carried out on this basis."

Yan Shen did not let Fang Sheng go and asked, "In the end, what point does Secretary Fang agree with?"

Fang Sheng said: "Whether college student village officials or overseas returnee scholars want to be a good cadre, you must start from the grassroots level steadily. The mayor, county magistrate, and mayor take one step at a time, just like high school, university, master's degree, or doctoral degree. You can't take any tricks, any shortcut will only mislead others and yourself."

This metaphor makes the professors and scholars present empathize and nod to say yes.
