Do you still remember the Zhou Gongzi who graduated from the third book and laughed at the 985 town in the circle of friends all day long?
3 years ago, Vice Governor Hu, who Zhou Gongzi boasted about in the circle of friends, was dismissed.
According to ** reports:
Hu Qiang, former member and vice chairman of the Jiangxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervision investigation by the ** Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission. ”
In July 2022, Zhou Jie, an employee of Jiangxi Provincial State-owned Capital Operation Holding Group, showed off in the circle of friends, causing social concern. Among them, he claimed to have met Vice Governor Hu, "Vice Governor Hu gave him a cigarette".
It was later found out that most of what Zhou Gongzi said was bragging.
But his remarks at least reflected the atmosphere of a circle in which Zhou Gongzi lived.
In an economically backward central and western province like Jiangxi, "guanxi" has always been the best way of life that many people believe.
This is because, for many years, the economic development of the central and western provinces has been mainly driven by infrastructure. The leadership of the infrastructure and budget implementation departments has enormous power in their hands.
As long as you can get the project you lead, the businessman can soar to the sky.
Stakeholders play a very important role in this.
On the one hand, the relationship has business resources in its hands and has the ability to bring benefits to the leadership.
On the other hand, the "political background" of the related household is also easy to be regarded as his own by the leader, thus eliminating the cost of trust.
As a result, the related households have become the main intermediaries in the collusion of political and business relations.
In many cities, you will find that the connected households in the system do not want to be civil servants or take the career exam, and their favorite places to go are urban investment and financial companies.
The reason is very simple, the status of civil servants is subject to more supervision, and the establishment is bound and cannot be allowed to work. In urban investment and financial companies, you can not only access business resources, but also serve the leadership performance, this role is most suitable for related households who want to make money through political and business exchanges.
To sum it up in four words, this is a kind of "broker economy".
Obviously, the existence of the "broker economy" relies on the model of power-led resource allocation.
In this model, the allocation of resources is not based on efficiency and fairness, but at what power says. Over time, a cult of power will develop.
Zhou Gongzi's thoughts are born out of such soil.
The funny thing is that Zhou Gongzi wants to be a broker but can't, so he can only rely on bragging in the circle of friends to satisfy his vanity, while those real brokers have been making a fortune in silence.
Jiangxi is the cradle of the revolution, full of revolutionary relics, and is one of the provinces with the most profound red genes in the country. Jiangxi has beautiful landscapes, industrious people, and a rich Poyang Lake Plain, with both a developed agricultural civilization in the north and a brilliant Hakka commercial civilization in the south. However, in the era of industrial civilization, Jiangxi lagged behind the surrounding provinces, Jiangxi's ** often fell off, and the "Jiangxi Economic Belt" once became a hot stalk on the Internet.
Perhaps, it's time to get a hand on related accounts.
