What noble qualities should an excellent politician possess?

Yesterday, I had the privilege of listening to Samuel Locke, Chief Financial Officer of the US Department of Labor. A Chinese-American, born in 1943, came to the United States for 63 years and is now one of the important Chinese in American politics. I feel the "danger" of politicians for the first time-it's so infectious and appealing! ! ! When he told you how China people were unfairly discriminated against in the United States, you seemed to feel the same way; When he tells you how hard-won the status of Chinese in the United States today is, you will sincerely admire their predecessors; When he tells you that you are the future of Chinese in the world, you feel duty-bound! It's not hard to imagine that if he wanted everyone to cry at that time, I believe no one in the audience would not cry! You're completely under his control! When he finished his speech for more than two hours, the audience couldn't help standing up and applauded for a long time! His successful position and experience are of course the envy and admiration of all. But these are definitely not enough to conquer the audience. The most influential thing is the art of his speech, not the technology, leaving no trace: we believe in his parallelism ... we believe ... we believe ... and his voice is rich and powerful, but it is definitely not for you to fully invest in decibels; Then all of a sudden, the sound dropped to an absolutely appropriate low, but the whole audience could certainly hear it-because everyone was involved-which reminded you of Martin Luther's speech-and I had a dream. This is the basic quality of a politician. There are too many excellent people in the world. But not all excellent people can become politicians. After listening to this speech, I also changed some previous prejudices against politicians. I used to think that everything in politics was dark, playing politics and intrigue, and politicians used voters' votes to achieve their personal goals. But today, I think maybe this view is too one-sided. This phenomenon exists in both the United States and China, but at least we should not despise all politicians for it. If everyone thinks so and stays away from politics, there may be no Chinese seats in American politics today. Then, when the United States passes a bill similar to the Chinese Exclusion Act of that year again, perhaps we overseas Chinese can only suffer the same unequal discrimination as that year. In fact, this is not a fantasy. It's entirely possible. Think about the Chinese Exclusion Act. Isn't it because China workers "robbed" Americans of their jobs at low labor prices? But isn't the same fear and resentment towards China flowing in American society today? Zhao Yongliang: Entrepreneurs in China must have the qualities of politicians. The 2006 China Entrepreneur Summit Forum sponsored by Contemporary Manager magazine and Peking University Institute of Private Economy was held in Peking University on May 20th, 2006. The theme of this forum is "Innovation and growth, China enterprises and leadership spirit under the wave of globalization". Sina Finance's exclusive graphic live broadcast of this forum. The following is a wonderful speech by Zhao Yongliang, President of Inner Mongolia Dongda Mongolian King. Zhao Yongliang: It's a great pleasure to discuss and exchange the topic of innovation and how to cross the valley of death with you today. I went to sea as a state-owned enterprise. I used to be the vice president of Ordos, and went to sea from 65438 to 0990. Today, I started a private enterprise. Whether it is innovation or our ability, there is a question of ability and morality. An entrepreneur and an enterprise have grown up to now, and there are many things to sum up, as well as ups and downs. Why did I go to sea from the position of such a good deputy boss of Ordos Group? At that time, I was in charge of raw materials and approved 300 million yuan a year, which is equivalent to 300 million yuan now. Why do you want to go to sea? Some things are forced out. At that time, my grandmother died during the Spring Festival of 1988, five days before the Spring Festival. At that time, there was a custom in the village to invite the band to sing. Because there was no invitation for the Spring Festival, I took out the speaker and played it myself, but there was no electricity at that time, so I played this funeral music with the battery of the van. I felt very sad at that time. I said I would do a good job in the electricity in this place. I also thought of "Qian Lao", an international student who gave up for the generous treatment of two bombs and one satellite. At that time, "Qian Lao" was our model and idol. Finally, I went to Xi 'an and did some work. People are very grateful to us. The next year, when I went to visit the grave, I was already a young cadre, and I wanted to make this grave-sweeping beautiful. The captain brought me a lot of agricultural products and waited for me at our grave at six o'clock. My family didn't cry at that time, but I shed tears because of this move of the people. Later, when I went back, I saw several children crying. I didn't know they couldn't afford the tuition until I asked. Later, I paid the tuition of this school. At its peak, there were 65,438+008 children. The government supported me very much, and the integration between us was good, so that in the fourth year of our development, there were many local bankrupt enterprises, and later I merged these difficult state-owned enterprises. Willow is a shrub tree in our place, and the rainfall here is about 300mm, so we have successfully developed willow as wrapping paper. In our country, a large amount of yellow sand enters the Yellow River every year, and the best way to control sand damage is to plant Salix. In recent years, we have planted a lot of Salix, which is a responsibility and also to find a way for the paper mill, so we began to use Salix as wrapping paper. Through the enterprise, 3 million mu of Salix psammophila planting area and economic level have been promoted, which has reached 85% at present. Only Salix can be planted in that place, but Salix should be used. I put forward a concept. At that time, only the Mongolian King Group, which was called "Qian Lao", started the industrial chain in the sand area of western China in 2 1 century and reached a virtuous circle. 1984, "Qian Lao" proposed a revolution in the west, and the fifth time was the industrial revolution. Microscopically, this is a revolution in grass industry and sand industry. Everyone mentioned Mengniu and Yili. In the 1950 s, it was wind and grass to see cattle and sheep, and in the 1990 s, it was people who went into the sand to see what they looked like. In 20 10, it will reach 500,000 tons, and the packaging paper gap in China will be 40 million tons. We solved this problem through leading enterprises. We are not following the situation or putting on a show in building a new countryside. We are real. With your support and help, our total assets have increased to10.40 billion yuan, and our new rural construction has spent10.20 billion yuan. The tax paid was 480 million yuan, with 5,000 employees, driving 1.2 million people, forming a virtuous circle of the industrial chain. As we all know, we are in an ecologically deteriorated area, and people rely on returning farmland to build our new countryside. We really don't have any good ways to develop. As a private enterprise, we ordinary people can take out 6000 mu of land to grow Salix, most of which are experiments of Tatu. That "Tatu" can't spend the winter in the northeast, which is the most suitable place to live in our area. It is more suitable to raise Tatu without watering and drying. In this way, our group of 2000 households is going to donate another 60 million this year to help them with loans. With the help of the government, we have recovered all the seeds and feed of Tatu. There are many Tatu in China now. If a household counts 20 million, it is equivalent to our lighter market in Zhejiang. Everyone knows that our cashmere goats will be improved after returning farmland to forests. People in Beijing say that killing sheep will protect Beijing. If the technology is not innovative, it will not be developed. Grass was planted in the middle of the six-meter-wide road. This kind of grass is a good feed, forming a three-dimensional planting, pulling up the industrial chain and increasing farmers' income. Our new countryside is not moved there, but it is not a new countryside if people are still squatting in toilets. We use biogas, we plant plastic greenhouses, we make use of the local abundant sunshine to form institutional innovation and technological innovation, and we will walk out of a real new countryside in western China. I gave a speech in the Great Hall of the People last year. Many reporters asked me that you invested hundreds of millions in private enterprises, and the effect was not good. We took a lot of risks in the storm of our bull fight, and I lost 500 million yuan for it. I opened a Dongda City Plaza in Inner Mongolia, and everyone bought my account. I invested 340,000 square meters 1 100 million, and sold 304 sets a day. This place has formed our CBD in Inner Mongolia, and we are also innovating in technology and system. We have introduced the world's top 50 enterprises, advanced management and the planning of Taiwan Province Province. There are also world-famous commercial brands, which are also the process of institutional innovation. This product is very good. Our hotel can accommodate 2000 people. Our Inner Mongolia prairie is a beautiful background, painting the back garden for Beijingers. There are more and more flights in Inner Mongolia, and the highway transportation facilities are also very convenient. Many people ask me why private enterprises help the poor. I said that entrepreneurs in China should have the qualities of politicians, and entrepreneurs in China should seize the people and the government. China's economy is a government economy. Without the platform of the * * * production party, there would be no us today. Without the party's preferential policies, there would be no billions of us today. We should not be superstitious, but should be conscientious. Our entrepreneurs became rich and the people cried. Ten years ago, we were ten thousand yuan households, and ordinary people were still wearing rotten cotton trousers. I found a woman with heart disease. Because her children have to go to school, they can't be treated. She can't even sit still. She has to live on her sister. Now society is eager for her children to go to school. Later, the whole family discussed giving up treatment and letting the children go to school. Finally, she asked if she could borrow some money for three months, and died with peace of mind when she saw the notice that her son was going to school. Finally, we paid tens of thousands of dollars to take care of her illness, but at the same time, I found that many people would die in poor areas of Inner Mongolia because of 20 thousand to 30 thousand dollars. Finally, I set up a heart disease treatment foundation, and 15 thousand can treat one person. When it is not enough, we will make up for it and form a hand-in-hand form. This is our idea of being a man before doing things. All the children in our family have to work and study. As an entrepreneur, I said ten years ago that money is a number when it comes to us, but people have three treasures, three treasures, the sun, the moon and the stars. Although life is short, to live a wonderful life, we should do more practical things. On the quality of politicians from the ups and downs of senior officials: can an ambitious, idealistic and talented person become an excellent politician? Since the fall of Qu Yuan, outstanding talents who have been frustrated in politics all their lives have shouted with blood under heavy political oppression and raised this heavy problem to the world. Song Yu, Jia Yi after Qu Yuan, and even Liang Shuming in modern times, their constant political failures seem to indicate a mysterious fate: the origin only hinders both sides. Today, Pan Yue's political setbacks once again pushed this heavy topic to us. What qualities do politicians need? Why are countless outstanding talents kept out of politics through the ages? To answer this question, I think we must first understand the nature of politics. Marx, a bearded German philosopher, seems to have made a cold judgment on politics: politics is the highest social activity of human beings, and political activities exclude all irrational emotions. By understanding this nature of politics, we may be able to answer this open question. The essence of political rationalism requires politicians to abandon any irrational feelings and personality. Rationality is the only orientation of politicians, and interest is the only criterion of political judgment. Conscience, emotion, responsibility, justice and so on are all things that politicians must abandon. Political evaluation is different from personality evaluation, and the choice of political interests has nothing to do with morality. Any morality, patriotism or pleading for the people, its value will always be abstract, and the only thing politics needs is concrete practical interests. In the political struggle, Qu Yuan's noble sentiment of "hiding innocence, being honest and invincible" can't be more effective than Zhang Yi's shameless tactics, so it is bound to fail in the political struggle; Cao Zijian's great feelings of "being alone in the economy and regretting having no ark" have nothing to do with national interests, but Cao Pi's vicious political skills ensure Wei's strong position among the three countries; Xia Yan's Fan Yan's direct recommendation was doomed to be defeated by the old shameless Yan Song, but Xu Jie's patience and waiting made Yan Shifan's head fall to the ground; Wei Xiaobao, an uneducated, cunning and shameless Duke of Lushan, is naturally better at being a politician than a bookworm like Lv Liuliang. There is no right or wrong in political games, only losing and winning. People who can't see through this don't deserve to be a qualified politician. According to this standard, Qu Yuan is a great poet, but he is not a qualified politician. Even Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan are out of touch with outstanding politicians. The dead can't be patriotic, and people living in poverty may still have a chance. Although Feng Dao has been criticized for thousands of years, as a politician, his level is indeed higher than that of Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan. Pan Yue is not an excellent politician either. He is a sincere man, and it is not difficult to understand his worries about the country and the nation from his reform plan and his poems. However, none of these can guarantee his political level. It may be disdainful for a gentleman to preserve his sanity, but people who can't protect themselves will never achieve anything. Pan Yue can be a good friend of all of us and a tragic hero worthy of sympathy, but it will take time to test whether he can become a qualified politician. Perhaps, for Pan Yue, the real question is whether to become a politician. Deng Xiaoping spirit is still great! Having the excellent qualities of a politician is just like fighting a war: get up when you fall, and then get up again until you wait for an opportunity to occupy the enemy position, so Xiaoping is a "lucky general"!
