Politics is not a family business and there is no step-by-step succession. If the governor's son pursues an official career, he may end up becoming the mayor. In addition to resources, it depends more on personal ability. This is not like a wealthy and distinguished family. It doesn't matter whether the descendants are doing well or not capable enough. What should be inherited must be inherited. At most, they can just hire a few more managers.
Political resources cannot be passed on to the next generation through legal channels like wealth. But as long as I have the intention and the son has the intention, he will definitely sound the clarion call to charge. Try to digest the resources and connections left by Lao Tzu.
Mr. Hu got married and had children early, and his eldest son is 48 years old this year. Official position is deputy ministerial level. It looks promising. But there is basically no possibility of reaching the top. On the one hand, he was not old enough for several more political promotions. On the other hand, it is impossible for China to let father and son soldiers take power one after another. That will create a situation where one company is the only one, and it is easy to lose balance.
Balance is the greatest art of politics. It’s impossible for Mr. Hu not to understand, and it’s impossible for Mr. Hu’s son not to understand.
The Hu family is a prominent political family. His son Hu Fei also has strong political skills. But it was because the age difference between the two was so close that it created a rather embarrassing situation.
Therefore, the Hu family's strong demands in the political field were all placed on the eldest grandson.
It is foreseeable that whether it is the political resources accumulated by Hu Lao or Hu Fei's motivation to continue charging. All come from the industry of cultivating Hu Jianjun.
Hu Jianjun will become the well-deserved head of the third generation of the Hu family. The premise is that he is not a waste.
Mr. Hu simply revealed his life plans for Hu Jianjun in the next ten years.
After graduating from high school, he will directly enter the National Defense University for further study. and obtain the corresponding military rank. Then, he entered the army and held important positions. When he turns thirty, he will change his career with a good resume and serve as a deputy to real power. From then on, Mr. Hu’s planned political path began.
The biggest difference between a wealthy family and an ordinary family is that the former has already arranged the follow-up route before the offspring reach adulthood. Ordinary families, on the other hand, are somewhat casual and full of happy-go-lucky emotions.
Of course, this does not mean that the latter does not have a far-sighted vision, but it does not have enough resources to support its vision and ambition.
Xiao Zheng knew that Hu Laoyan briefly and comprehensively outlined Hu Jianjun's life trajectory before he turned thirty. I have no reservations about him anymore.
This is a trust, but also a pressure.
He had already vaguely sensed Mr. Hu's purpose. A somewhat unsettling purpose.
"Azheng. I hope you can become a good mentor and helpful friend of Jianjun. Give him guidance and help on the future road." Hu Lao said sincerely.
"Why did you choose me?" Xiao Zheng asked calmly. "The truth is, I'm very much just a businessman."
"You are not just a businessman, you are also a soldier. A young leader with political acumen." Mr. Hu said without concealment. "The most important thing is that you are the most successful young man I have observed in the past five years. Bar none."
Xiao Zheng laughed dumbly and said, "You are so complimentary."
"Will you promise me?" Mr. Hu stared at Xiao Zheng and said without blinking.
"Can I think about it?" Xiao Zheng said helplessly. "I've always been reluctant to get involved in politics."
"You've already come in, haven't you?" Mr. Hu said slowly.
"Indeed." Xiao Zheng nodded, somewhat discouraged.
"You can consider it. Even if it takes a little longer." Mr. Hu said with a smile. “My door is always open to anyone who can.”
End of this conversation, or this dinner. Xiao Zheng left the three-story villa accompanied by Minister Jin. As soon as he got in the car, Minister Jin lit up a cigarette with some regret and said meaningfully: "Azheng, do you know what it means if you just agreed?"
"What does it mean?" Xiao Zheng smiled.
"It means that you have the same political power as Lin Laoyao." Minister Jin is intriguing. "And you will gain the friendship of Mr. Hu. The friendship of a great leader."
In this unsympathetic society, true friendship is very expensive. Especially the friendship of a powerful boss. It is a priceless treasure.
Xiao Zheng smiled, but did not respond immediately. Instead, he was silent for a moment, organized his words and said: "I admit that if I had just nodded and promised to be Hu Jianjun's mentor and friend in ten years, I would have gained unimaginable political resources."
"But." Xiao Zheng changed the subject and said meaningfully. "I will never be able to defeat Mr. Lin."
"Huh?" Minister Jin was slightly startled and looked at Xiao Zheng with some confusion.
"Minister Jin, I would like to ask, do you treat me as a child? Or something else?" Xiao Zheng asked very seriously.
Minister Jin smiled and said very calmly: "Of course we are friends."
To be honest, if he doesn't treat Xiao Zheng as a friend, he must be a subordinate to some extent. In fact, Minister Kim does not have such ability.
Xiao Zheng's resources and influence have already transcended the narrow business world. Including that he himself is the youngest major general since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"The friendship you gave me is equal friendship." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "But the friendship you mentioned about Mr. Hu is not a pure friendship. It is not even the so-called exchange of interests."
"But I will become a political affiliate of the Hu family. Although I will gain a certain degree of respect. I will even be regarded as a mentor and helpful friend by Hu Jianjun." Xiao Zheng smiled and said some rebellious words. "But you can't deny it. As long as I nod and agree today, after the age of forty, my life will revolve around Hu Jianjun. I will become his staff, his strategist, and the so-called guiding light on his way forward. "
"But no matter which one it is. I will not be able to control my life." Xiao Zheng said slowly. "I will no longer be an individual."
Minister Jin was in a daze.
He didn't expect Xiao Zheng's angle to be so tricky and sharp.
He was accustomed to the thinking in officialdom, but he did gradually lose himself. At first glance, Xiao Zheng's words seemed extremely arrogant, even a little arrogant. But if you take a closer look, what Xiao Zheng said is flawless and will definitely become a fact.
If Xiao Zheng agrees to Mr. Hu today, he will indeed have unrivaled political resources. After all, Mr. Hu is at his peak right now.
But in the future, Xiao Zheng will also be dragged into the abyss by this huge political resource, and it will be difficult to escape.
"From the time I entered the house to the time I left, I was not completely myself for a second. And Mr. Hu didn't give me much choice. He tried to control my emotions, my behavior, including my judgment."
"It was like handing me that cigarette. He asked me to assist Hu Jianjun with his irresistible attitude."
"Minister Jin." Xiao Zheng looked at Minister Jin seriously. "The reason why I work so hard and fight so hard is to let the people I cherish have a better life. Let me live a more free and dignified life."
"Rather than for power or wealth, be a person who loses himself and is respected by big people."
"Minister Jin, I'm sorry, I failed to live up to your kindness." Xiao Zheng said word by word. "But I'm really not used to living a life of being pushed around."
I'm so sorry, I'm so sleepy! I owe you a chapter!
