The fourth year of junior high school. Zhao Guodong had to leave Zhai Yunbai and fly back to the capital for the time being. Liu doesn't need to fly back and forth with Astana, no matter how necessary the etiquette has to go, fortunately, now that he works in the capital, many relationships that usually move around do not need to be deliberately managed, and some of them are a slightly chic and unique gift.

After all, on the edge of this Spring Festival, everyone is busy, if you go to others and don't receive it, it's not good, it's another thing to receive, everyone is troublesome, but it's not easy to open up.

Zhao Guodong has a good grasp of the mentality of everyone at this time, and chose Huaiqing's Qingping Qingzhen Tea, Ningling Flower Forest's Qilinguan Jasper, Milk Wine and Biwushan Black Tea, three things to match, and took some pains to ask specialized craftsmen to use specially customized art advertising paper to wrap it, which looks like it also has a unique flavor, so that people can know at a glance that it is a native product from Anyuan.

The people who want to give gifts are people who don't need anything. But the key is that the heart is coming, others may not remember when you are polite, and most of the people who are not polite will remember it, and this negligence means that you may really feel unnecessary next time, and this relationship is often unconsciously cold down in this way.

Zhao Guodong's position in the Liu family is very unique. In addition to Liu Tuo, Liu Yan, the two brothers and Liu Qiao, many people in the Liu family initially didn't pay much attention to this little bureaucrat who seemed to be a little climbing the dragon and the phoenix, so even Shen Dongzhao and other people in the circle knew that a daughter of the Liu family recruited a local small bureaucrat, but Zhao Guodong's later performance quickly broke the perception of the Liu family's children, especially after Zhao Guodong was transferred to the Ministry of Energy as the director of the Department of Comprehensive and Planning and Development, this perception was completely subverted.

Maybe they can ignore the mayor of a local prefecture-level city, which is too far away for them. But it is absolutely impossible to underestimate the director of a department of the Ministry of Energy, especially a key department such as the Department of Planning and Development, even if they think that someone is helping Zhao Guodong, but dare to sit in such a position. And you can sit comfortably and steadily, and you can't play well.

Liu Yan has long been out of the news in the family, saying that Vice Premier Jianbang is very optimistic about Zhao Guodong's performance, and after listening to Zhao Guodong's speech on China's energy security and development, he specifically asked Zhao Guodong by name for his views on some issues, which made the arrogance of the Liu family restrain a lot.

The influence of the red family is fading day by day, and occasionally outstanding people emerge and are active in the political arena, but they cannot change the general trend, and the grassroots elite is rising, which is an unavoidable reality, Lu Jianbang belongs to a member of the grassroots elite, born in an ordinary family, and after graduating from university, he started step by step in the enterprise, until he stepped into the political circles, and the current position is not the same as Vice Premier Wen's style, he is difficult to praise people, and there are fewer people who can get his approval, which is recognized in the political circles.

It was in such a specific environment that Zhao Guodong gradually entered the political center of the Liu family. At this position, both Liu Zhongping and Xu Jianing have already recognized that Zhao Guodong's performance is enough to be worthy of being a leader among the members of the Liu family. This means that, when necessary. Zhao Guodong can already use the potential network resources of the Liu family to help him.

To stand firm in the circle of the Liu family, ability is of course very important, but the wider system that radiates and towers in this circle system also needs to be maintained and consolidated in many cases, such as a relationship like Shen Dongzhao, that is, the Liu family must deliberately make friends, and even Liu Zhongping is a former subordinate of Shen Dongzhao's uncle.

，

"I heard Minister Cai mention that Vice Premier Jianbang has taken note of your views of the A-Yuan Institute for International Strategic Studies, and although it is a little biased, the direction is still worthy of affirmation, and put forward the difficulties and countermeasures faced by the People's Liberation Army in its development. Listening to Minister Cai, Vice Premier Jianbang felt that the study in these areas could be more detailed and broad, and that he should not stick to some of the existing viewpoints and see if he could put forward a viewpoint that is more suitable for China's national conditions and the international situation. ”

Zhao Guodong glanced at Liu Ruotong, who was busy in the distance, it seems that Liu Ruotong has probably been away for a long time in this circle, so that many people are surprised that he and her appear on such an occasion, so many people grabbed her, on the contrary, they were more relaxed, except for Shen Dongzhao's gang, the other guys who knew that they thought highly of themselves at a glance had not paid attention to themselves for the time being.

Lou Hui in this kind of circle often starts from a very unreliable beginning, but this time it is very reliable.

Shen Dongzhao was born at the age of forty, according to the rules of men being virtual women, that is, Shen Dongzhao was thirty-nine years old, and it was also to celebrate Shen Dongzhao's promotion to the general. Twenty-nine-year-old colonel. As far as Zhao Guodong knows, this is not unprecedented"! It is also relatively rare in several armies.

Liu and Shen two families in the war years is the world's friends, although after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the leaders of the two families have been greatly impacted, but it has made the relationship between the two families closer, until the chaos is set right after the two families have come back, have maintained quite close contacts, until the leader of the Shen family passed away, and the leader of the Liu family can no longer appear in public because of his health, the second generation of the Shen and Liu families began to rise in the political arena, and the relationship between the two families gradually flattened. However, it should be said that the relationship between the two families and three generations still maintains close contacts.

Shen Dongzhao is an independent character, although it is a birthday banquet, but it is only a lunch meal, in a fairly simple and neat way, it can be regarded as a footnote for himself to enter the era of confusion, and then it provides a platform for free entertainment and communication for a group of guests.

Most of the guests of the older generation and their own identities are gifts from others, and most of the people who can come to participate are Shen Dongzhao's close friends and guests who belong to this circle because of historical origins, although Shen Dongzhao does not want to expand the scale, but there are some things that he can not decide. It's not just a ritual, it's also a ritual and a rule.

"Or is it still obscure, holding on to the defects?" Shen Dongzhao's sharpness is as sharp as ever, "In the first 20 years of reform and opening up, this strategy was undoubtedly correct and could win us a peaceful and stable development environment, but now the international situation is changing." If we say that the various actions of the United States will not pose a threat to us, it is obvious that this is impossible, and the Taiwan issue, the Indian Ocean strategic passage issue, and the oil interests in the Middle East and Central Asia are all deviating from our earliest predictions. ”

"You want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, you want to develop in peace and stability, but when it poses a threat to your strategic core interests, can you still hide and dodge? That will only make the other party misunderstand that this is not your core interest, and mistakenly think that you can back down in these aspects and let the other party gain an inch! Shen Dongzhao talked eloquently, and there were already several like-minded people around him, all of whom listened to him play with great interest.

"And from another point of view. Rather than the sudden explosive rise in the future, it is better to imperceptibly and gradually increase the investment in national defense, and the army should also go out in a planned and step-by-step manner, otherwise one day the squadron will find that it needs to go out, it will face strong public opinion pressure from the outside world, and the international community has become accustomed to the image of China's toothless tiger. If you can't adapt to China, which has a strong force, then it will be even more passive! ”

"Dong Zhao is right, on the issue of our national strategic core interests, China can not look left and right to hope for a rest, which will make stakeholders misread our determination, now if we do not show a clear attitude in advance, once to a certain extent, maybe some stakeholders originally did not intend to compete with China on this issue, but because we did not initially show our attitude, we formed a situation of riding a tiger, unable to step down, can only choose confrontation. Of course, we are not afraid of confrontation, but wouldn't it be better to be able to resolve the issue through peaceful negotiation without compromising our core interests? ”

The one who interjected was a man who was slightly older than Shen Dongzhao, with a straight figure, a wide mouth, thick eyebrows like silkworms, and eyes as sharp as knives, this was Lin Musen, a friend of Zhu Dongzhao, who was also said to be a character in the army, but Shen Dongzhao did not introduce the identity of the other party.

Zhao Guodong felt that the other party's words hit the nail on the head. Quite pertinently, Taoguang is a strategy. How to meet China's interests should be adjusted from multiple angles and at multiple levels according to the changes in the international political situation, so that the world can gradually adapt to and gradually understand China's strength. Rather than allowing the world to panic at China's power, it will take a gradual process, and this needs to start now.

Brother Lin's words seemed to mean something. But the guide sea area? Zhao Guodong asked with a smile.

Lin Musen has also been paying attention to Zhao Guodong. Shen Dongzhao pushed Zhao Guodong to a rather high position, and even vaguely accepted him as a role in their specific circle, which made Lin Musen also quite curious, Shen Dongzhao's vision and taste are not ordinary high, and it is not easy to be able to meet his appetite.

However, Zhao Guodong's words immediately made Lin Musen's eyes light up, and the other party did not say that it was Central Asia. did not refer to Taiwan Island, nor did he say the more sensitive East China Sea, but directly set his eyes on the South China Sea, which now seems to be calm, which can't help but make him shocked by the sensitivity of the other party.
