Politics was not a family business, and there was no step-by-step inheritance. The governor's son took an official career, and he might end up as a mayor. In addition to resources, it depended more on personal ability. This was not like the rich and powerful families. No matter whether the descendants were good or not, they still had to inherit what should be inherited. At most, they could hire a few more managers.
Political resources could not be passed on to the next generation through legal channels like wealth. But as long as the father and the son had the intention, they would definitely blow the horn to charge. They would work hard to digest the resources and contacts left by the father.
Mr. Hu married and had children early. His eldest son was forty-eight years old this year. He was a deputy minister. It seemed that he had a promising future. But there was basically no possibility of him rushing to the top. On the one hand, he was not old enough for him to have a few more political promotions. On the other hand, it was impossible for Hua Xia to let his father and son get promoted one after another. That would create a dominant situation, and it was easy to lose balance.
Balance was the greatest art of the subject of politics. It was impossible for Mr. Hu not to understand, and it was impossible for Mr. Hu's son not to understand.
The Hu family was a political family. His son, Hu Fei, also had strong political skills. But because the age difference between the two was too close, it caused a quite embarrassing situation.
Therefore, the strong demands of the Hu family in the political field were all placed on the eldest grandson.
It could be foreseen that whether it was the political resources accumulated by Mr. Hu or the driving force of Hu Fei's continuous charge. They all came from cultivating the foundation for Hu Jianjun.
Hu Jianjun would become the well-deserved leader of the third generation of the Hu family. The premise was that he was not a waste.
Mr. Hu briefly revealed his life arrangement for Hu Jianjun in the next ten years.
After graduating from high school, he would directly enter the National Defense University for further study. And obtain the corresponding military rank. Then, he would enter the army to hold an important position. When he was thirty, he would transfer to the local government with a beautiful resume and serve as a deputy with real power. From then on, the road of politics that Mr. Hu had planned would be opened.
The biggest difference between the rich and the ordinary families was that the former had already arranged the follow-up route before the offspring reached adulthood. Ordinary families, on the other hand, were somewhat casual and full of the mood of adapting to circumstances.
Of course, it did not mean that the latter did not have a far-sighted vision, but did not have enough resources to support vision and ambition.
Xiao Zheng knew that Mr. Hu briefly outlined the life track of Hu Jianjun before the age of thirty. There was no reservation for him.
This was a form of trust, and at the same time, a form of pressure.
He had vaguely sensed Mr. Hu's purpose. An unnerving goal.
"Xiao Zheng. I hope you can be a good teacher and helpful friend to Jianjun. Give him pointers and help in the future. "Elder Hu said earnestly.
"Why me?" Xiao Zheng asked solemnly. "In fact, I'm very much just a businessman."
"You're not just a businessman, you're also a soldier. A young leader with political acumen. "Mr. Hu said without concealment. "Most importantly, you are the most successful young man I have observed in the past five years. None of them. "
Xiao Zheng laughed involuntarily and said, "You flatter me."
"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. Isn't that so? "Old Hu said slowly.
"Indeed." Xiao Zheng nodded, feeling a little discouraged.
"You can think about it. Even if it takes a long time. "Mr. Hu said with a Smile. "I'll always open the door to those who are capable."
The conversation, or dinner, was over. Xiao Zheng left the three-story villa accompanied by Minister Jin. As soon as he got in the car, Minister Jin lit a cigarette with a sigh and said meaningfully, "Xiao Zheng, do you know what it means if you just agree?"
"What does it mean?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
"It means that in terms of political power, you have the same allocation of power as Old Monster Lin," Minister Jin said thoughtfully. "And you will get the friendship of Mr. Hu. The friendship of a big leader. "
In this heartless society, true friendship was very expensive. Especially the friendship of a powerful big shot. It was priceless.
Xiao Zheng smiled, but did not respond immediately. He was silent for a moment, organized his words and said, "I admit that if I just nodded and agreed. And promised to be a good teacher and helpful friend to Hu Jianjun after ten years. I'll get unimaginable political resources. "
"But." Xiao Zheng changed the thread of conversation and said meaningfully. "I will never be able to defeat Lin Laoyao."
"Huh?" Minister Jin was slightly stunned and looked at Xiao Zheng with some doubts.
"Minister Jin, may I ask you a question? Do you regard me as a friend or something else?" Or something else? "Xiao Zheng asked solemnly.
Minister Jin smiled and said very calmly, "Of course I'm a friend."
To be honest, if he did not regard Xiao Zheng as a friend, he must be a subordinate to some extent. In fact, Minister Jin did not have such ability.
Xiao Zheng's resources and influence had already jumped out of the narrow business circle. Including that he himself was the youngest major general since the founding of the country.
"The friendship you give me is an equal friendship." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "But the friendship of Mr. Hu you mentioned. It's not a pure friendship. It's not even a so-called exchange of interests. "
"But I will become a political affiliate of the Hu family. Although I will get a certain degree of respect. I will even be regarded as a good teacher and helpful friend by Hu Jianjun. "Xiao Zheng smiled and narrated some rebellious words. "But you can't deny it. As long as I nod and agree today, my life will revolve around Hu Jianjun after the age of 40. I will become his aide, his military counselor, and the so-called guiding light on his way forward. "
"But no matter which one I belong to. I will not be able to control my life. "Xiao Zheng said slowly. "I will no longer be an independent individual."
Minister Jin was a little stunned.
He did not expect that Xiao Zheng's angle would be so tricky and so sharp.
He was used to the thinking of officialdom, but he did gradually lose himself. At first glance, Xiao Zheng's words were unusually arrogant and even a little arrogant. But after careful consideration, Xiao Zheng's words were without loopholes and would inevitably become a fact.
If Xiao Zheng agreed to Mr. Hu today, he would indeed have unrivaled political resources. After all, Mr. Hu was at his peak at the moment.
But in the future, Xiao Zheng would also be involved in the abyss of this huge political resources, and it would be difficult for him to break free.
"From the time I entered the room to the time I left, I was not completely myself for a second. And Mr. Hu did not give me much choice. He tried to manipulate my emotions, my behavior, including my judgment. "
"Just like the cigarette he handed me. He asked me to assist Hu Jianjun with an irresistible attitude. "
"Minister Jin." Xiao Zheng looked at Minister Jin with a solemn face. "The reason why I work so hard and fight so hard. It's to let the people I cherish have a better life. To let myself live more freely and with more dignity. "
"Not for power, for wealth, to be a person who loses himself and is respected by the big shots."
"Minister Jin, I'm sorry, I failed to live up to your good intentions." Xiao Zheng said word by word. "But I'm really not used to living a life of being manipulated."
