CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

They will support the system you establish, because a system can outlive a person.

Wealth generated through institutional mechanisms is the kind of wealth that can endure in the world.

Thinking of all this, Gao Qilin smiled and said to Zhong Xiaoai, who was lying in his arms.

“Xiao Ai, we have to do this one step at a time. First, we need to make the villagers trust us.”

"Otherwise, what if we rashly suggest that they relocate!"

"I think these villagers will not only not help us, they will also turn against us!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai was first taken aback.

Then, she nodded in agreement.

"You're right, I used to tutor my younger siblings with their homework."

... ... .......

"I was clearly doing this for their own good, but my younger siblings still upset me!"

“They are all my family members, and they still have different opinions from me, let alone outsiders!”

Zhong Xiaoai is not stupid; she is a smart person.

Intelligent people are always able to listen to the opinions of others.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai recalled the scenes of her helping her younger siblings with their homework in the past.

She agreed with Gao Qilin's ideas, but simply agreeing wasn't enough.

Gao Qilin felt that he had to tell Zhong Xiaoai his whole idea.

In Gao Qilin's view, what he wanted was Zhong Xiaoai's support.

If he cannot get Zhong Xiaoai's support.

If that happens, Shangguan Village will never be able to escape poverty.

All his previous efforts would be in vain in order to achieve this goal.

Gao Qilin naturally had to resort to some underhanded methods, and before implementing this method...

Gao Qilin then told Zhong Xiaoai his plan, and upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai angrily protested against Gao Qilin!

Chapter 266 Let it be clear

"Qilin! Don't go too far! The old village chief has been so good to us!"

"But you still want to use him? What if even the old village chief doesn't support us anymore!"

"Do you think we still have a way to make Shangguan Village better? Do you think the villagers of Shangguan Village will still believe in us?"

When Zhong Xiaoai learned that Gao Qilin's idea was to bring the old village chief into the picture...

Zhong Xiaoai was furious at that moment, because in her view, this was true for the entire Shangguan Village.

People only listen to the old village chief if they offend him.

That would mean a complete break with the people of Shangguan Village.

Even if their suggestions are good, the residents of Shangguan Village probably won't accept them when the time comes.

Because the old village chief has completely broken ties with them!

Realizing this, Zhong Xiaoai naturally objected. If it weren't for her husband's diligence, she might have even argued with Gao Qilin.

Zhong Xiaoai's reaction was naturally within Gao Qilin's expectations.

Gao Qilin is a businessman, and what he most wants to see is change.

Zhong Xiaoai, being an official, most desires stability.

For businessmen, taking risks and risking their lives is a routine practice.

For officials, only stability can maintain the status quo to the greatest extent possible.

Many officials, during their terms of office, seek to avoid mistakes rather than achieve merits.

Only by avoiding mistakes can their official careers flourish, which is why officials and businessmen have such different values.

This is mainly because officials are responsible to their superiors.

Businessmen are responsible to their clients, while officials only need to understand their superiors' intentions.

They can only increase their value by gaining more and more power.

These officials are the ones who can help more people when an official has no power.

They're all silent, while a businessman is responsible to his customers.

A businessman cannot serve only one client in his lifetime; for businessmen, the more clients they serve, the better.

In this way, they can obtain the greatest benefit.

It was precisely because of their differing values ​​that Zhong Xiaoai and Gao Qilin clashed.

Fortunately, both of them are intelligent, and even when they have a conflict, they can quickly persuade each other.

At that moment, when Gao Qilin noticed that Zhong Xiaoai was already a little unhappy and was looking at him sideways, Gao Qilin smiled slightly at Zhong Xiaoai and said.

"Xiao Ai, I have no other choice!"

"Since you've said that the old village chief is the authority in the village, if I don't closely align myself with him..."

Do you think these villagers will take what I say seriously?

"If these villagers don't take what I say seriously, will they still do what I say?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai felt that what Gao Qilin said made a lot of sense.

But she didn't understand what Gao Qilin's basis was for doing this. Did they think that even if they were doing it for the good of the villagers, the villagers would still oppose it?

In this world, even animals that receive kindness from humans know how to be grateful.

Are these villagers even less than animals? Zhong Xiaoai felt this was clearly unacceptable!

Thinking of all this, Zhong Xiaoai raised her head and rolled her eyes at Gao Qilin, saying...

"Qilin, do you think we can't try other ways to influence these villagers?"

Gao Qilin chuckled upon hearing this, at which point he transformed into a history teacher.

He decided to use the historically famous story of Liezi and Shang Yang's reforms to teach Zhong Xiaoai a good lesson!

"Xiao Ai, I understand what you mean, but if I have to be reasonable in everything I do..."

"That would be very troublesome. It might take ten or twenty years for me to change Shangguan Village!"

"As you know, the people of Shangguan Village can't afford to wait any longer. Every day they suffer like this is torture for them!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai fell silent.

At this moment, Zhong Xiaoai looked like a primary school student who had done something wrong, with her head down, waiting for Gao Qilin to reason with her.

"Xiao Ai, I think you should know about Shang Yang's reforms. Shang Yang said that all people are the same."

"Human nature is inherently evil; otherwise, there would be no thieves or robbers!"

"If a person goes astray, they don't need anyone around them to teach them; but it's very difficult to make someone go astray!" 1.9

“Severe punishments and harsh laws are absolutely necessary, and only severe punishments and harsh laws can make people follow the rules!”

"My current plan is to force the village chief into power so that he can help change the villagers' mindset!"

"The village chief is the backbone of the people of Shangguan Village. If he agrees to my reforms, the people will naturally agree!"

"But if even the village chief stands up against me, then I think every single one of the villagers in Shangguan Village will also turn against me!"

Gao Qilin's words were well-reasoned and supported by evidence, and Zhong Xiaoai felt she had no way to refute them!

Chapter 267 How to Bind

Zhong Xiaoai is an educated person, and she entered a law school under the influence of her father.

She naturally knew the impact of Shang Yang's reforms on the Chinese nation; more than two thousand years ago, Shang Yang had already seen through human nature.

His changes, based on human nature, have influenced this ancient country for over two thousand years.

The Chinese nation today can still benefit greatly from Shang Yang's reforms.

Since the fall of the Qin Dynasty, subsequent dynasties have governed their countries based on Shang Yang's reforms.

Building upon Shang Yang's reforms, successive dynasties implemented further changes, enabling the Chinese nation to gradually grow stronger.

Thinking about all this, Zhong Xiaoai gradually understood Gao Qilin's thoughts.

What Zhong Xiaoai didn't understand at this moment was how Gao Qilin managed to bind the old village chief.

Zhong Xiaoai understood that Lao Cunzi was one of the few smart people in Shangguan Village.

Regardless of their intentions, intelligent people are a rare breed, and winning them over is not an easy task.

If the old village chief doesn't listen to Gao Qilin, he will lead the villagers to oppose Gao Qilin's reforms.

When that time comes, Gao Qilin will be the one who suffers!
