Chapter 281 Sitting in rows and dividing the fruits
“I had no choice but to push you to the front this time.
But on the other hand, it is also a preparation for the future.
This time you go to Second Automobile Works, and you will be promoted to a higher position.
This will be your last chance to take such a big leap.
If I can't take advantage of this opportunity and take a step forward.
If you want to go up there in the future, you won’t have the chance.”
Father Liu shook his head, put down the teacup, and picked up the cigarette again.
“I don’t quite understand…”
Mr. Liu's words were not clear, so Fang Xiang naturally didn't understand them.
“When you went up this time, several people nodded their heads.
You may be young, but your contributions are real.
No one can find fault with it, at most they will say that you are a lucky guy.
Once everyone adapts, they will get used to it.
But from now on, no matter how great your contribution is, you will only be rewarded in other ways.
The job level will not be changed anymore.
Even if there are changes, they will be horizontal transfers.
For example, you may be transferred to a certain department as a consultant or assistant.
It’s not until you are in your late thirties, or even early forties, that you will have the opportunity to move up.
That's all. I still have to be in the position, or other big guys can help you.
Otherwise, there is a high probability that you will remain in the same place for decades.
At most, I will lose a few more positions.”
This time, Mr. Liu spoke very slowly.
It was as if he was afraid that Fang Xiang wouldn't understand.
"So, I just want to do it in one go..."
Fang Xiang nodded. He understood what Mr. Liu said.
This leap forward promotion will be used to exchange for ten or even twenty years of stagnation.
Unless he created nuclear fusion in the meantime.
Of course, he definitely doesn't understand nuclear fusion and can't create it.
So, unless there are any surprises, this is what it will be like.
After all, how many people would believe a 22-year-old department-level official if he told others about it?
Although the treatment is comparable, Second Automobile Works is a big factory and of such a high level.
Even if he is a powerful department-level cadre, he may not have the comfort and freedom he had imagined, right?
“Well, that’s what I mean.
So, do you have any objection to me asking you to share the profits this time?"
Father Liu smiled, took a puff of his cigarette, and looked at Fang Xiang who was still in deep thought.
“Look at what you said, I’m not the kind of person who eats alone.
But having said that, I do have an idea.”
Fang Xiang raised his head and suddenly remembered the future generations. Didn’t everyone use the method of binding interests to consolidate their status?
"what idea?"
Mr. Liu held a cigarette and looked at Fang Xiang with a smile.
It was beyond his expectations that his son-in-law could get to where he is today.
I originally thought that with my support, I could do it before I retired.
If the son-in-law and son can gain a foothold at the bureau level, they will have the opportunity to reach the threshold of becoming deputy minister of a department.
I am already very relieved.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xiang was able to take off with his son within a year.
Although the current situation is not very good.
Don’t even mention Fang Xiang, even everyone has to behave themselves.
This is the domestic ecological environment, and no one can escape it.
“Now that the benefits have been taken out, why not find a few people to share them together.
Don’t children always say to sit in a row and share the fruit?
Let’s sit in a row, share the fruits, and unite a group of people.”
Seeing the encouragement from Mr. Liu, Fang Xiang expressed his thoughts.
"Why do you think you are asked to give up your interests?
Do you need to think about this?
Even if you don't want to, those who are qualified to share the fruit at the table will make you share the fruit honestly.
You are still too young.
But it doesn’t matter. Professor Xu and I have more experience than you in these matters.
Everything will be arranged for you, and even if you suffer a loss, you will not suffer a huge loss.
We will never let you be sold out and have you help others count money.
unless. . . "
Father Liu smiled and tapped Fang Xiang with his hand, still wondering what shocking ideas he might have next.
So this is it?
"Unless what?"
After hearing what Liu's father said, Fang Xiang realized that he really had no political acumen.
Now that the benefits have been brought out, naturally someone will come to share them.
He was just thinking that he could control who the money was given to and how much.
Now, after listening to what Liu's father said, I realized that I was protected too well.
Fortunately, they are there to protect me from behind.
However, after hearing what Mr. Liu said next, Fang Xiang became curious again.
"Someone has already eaten the food on this table.
Unless you wait until you have established yourself in Second Automobile Works and can cook a table of dishes again.
Only then will you have the right to say about sitting in a row and dividing the fruits.
But this right to speak is pitifully small, and at most it can ensure that you do not leave the table.
Besides, in today’s environment, it’s hard to say who will make it to the end.
So, you'd better just stay calm and gain experience.
When this storm passes, the situation will become clear.
If you come out and cook a table of dishes, the benefits you will gain will far exceed what you get now."
Mr. Liu's words came from the bottom of his heart, and he considered Fang Xiang without reservation.
Even my own father is no more than this.
No, not even my own father can do this.
After all, the position of the butt determines the head, right?
"Sure, it's up to you."
Fang Xiang nodded. This was the only way now.
Moreover, as an upstart, the benefits he could bring would inevitably be snatched away by a group of people who would smell the scent.
This is not just the case here, it can't be avoided in any country in the world.
This is human nature, not caused by environment.
It’s just that many times, people don’t know what’s going on outside.
"What do you think of the two paths I just mentioned?
Any ideas?"
Father Liu was also very pleased to see Fang Xiang was so sensible.
This is much better than his own son.
“I don’t think this matter is urgent.
There may not be much choice now, right?
Why not wait until the storm has passed and see how the situation develops before making a choice? "
Fang Xiang smiled. He had thought this matter through clearly just now.
Although he seems very glamorous now, he is only a stone's throw away from the cliff.
If Father Liu and Professor Xu had not stood behind him, he would have been eaten up long ago, leaving only his bones.
Don’t talk about controlling Second Automobile Works and getting promoted.
He should be thankful that he could keep his current position and not be plucked away by others.
"That's good. You've learned to draw inferences about other situations. Hahahaha."
When Mr. Liu heard what Fang Xiang said, he immediately smiled happily.
In fact, deep down, he felt that what Professor Xu said was too early.
Moreover, privately, he still values his son very much.
No matter how close a son-in-law is, he can't compare to blood ties, right?
However, if Fang wants to do so well, it is understandable that he should devote more resources to it.
Moreover, Fang Xiang is young and can climb faster than his son.
It’s hard to say, Fang Xiang will also have to take care of his third generation in the future.
Therefore, even if there is selfishness, it is only a little bit.
"What about the other colleagues who work with me..."
Seeing that this topic had almost been discussed, Fang Xiang turned to Cao Tianwei and Director Ma.
"Tell me what you think."
Father Liu nodded. It takes three to make a hero, and it takes three stakes to make a fence.
If Fang Xiang wants to get to where he is today, he must have been surrounded by a group of people.
This kind of small interest group is also inevitable.
If one person becomes an immortal, the chickens and dogs behind him can also ascend to heaven with him, right?
