Chapter 221 Internal Strength Still Insufficient
Wu Maocai's expression was very serious.
David had already explained his reasons, but Wu Maocai still showed no intention of getting off the bus.
He took out a notebook and pen from his bag.
In fact, Wu Maocai had already understood and believed what Dawei had just said.
He knew that David genuinely wanted to work with him—that was the answer he most wanted from his question.
While asking about Li Taoying and her ex-husband Ye Man, he also took the opportunity to gauge Dawei's thoughts and opinions about him.
Because essentially, Wu Maocai and Li Taoying are the same; they are people that Dawei can discard at any time.
David is now in a dominant position.
Dawei's control over Yuanshan County is getting stronger and stronger.
It's like when Liu Bang became king, he turned around and started killing his brothers, which made Wu Mao afraid.
Now that he heard what Dawei said, his worries disappeared, and he wanted to take this opportunity to learn more from Dawei.
It's called learning, but it's really just a way of flattering people.
If you are sincere enough and ask someone for advice at the right time, the other person will be happy, feel that their understanding has reached a higher level, think that you are a good student, and be willing to teach you.
Director Wu unfolded his notebook, his face showing a serious yet somewhat apologetic expression: "County Chief, I'm sorry, I'd like to take up a little more of your time."
Could you elaborate on the strategy of "uniting some, winning over some, abandoning some, isolating some, attacking some, and utilizing some"?
As he spoke, Wu Maocai had already written down keywords such as unity, winning over, and abandonment in his notebook.
"I think I might encounter similar troubles as you in the future."
My internal strength is still insufficient, far from sufficient.
Could you teach me more?
David was very happy to see that he could repeat it so accurately.
This is a very strong ability—to clearly and accurately extract the leader's words and remember the core points. This ability gives people a reliable and trustworthy feeling.
The same thing happened when Dawei was the office director; County Head Qiao Yong praised him for that.
"Okay, I don't have anything to do right now... Hey, do you still have any cigarettes? Give me one, I need one."
Wu Maocai immediately offered him a cigarette and helped him light it.
David took a puff of his cigarette, a smile playing on his lips, and slowly began to speak.
"The so-called unity means making more friends and fewer enemies."
This is the overall tone.
However, it is important to note that the other party must be qualified to be a friend, and there must be a certain foundation of trust.
Like the two of us, right...?
We know each other well, I know your abilities very well, and you also have the approval of Xu Bu and others;
Winning over others is a short-term tactic.
It is a level below unity.
The status of those you win over will never surpass that of those you unite.
It is aimed at centrists, or potential allies.
There must be room for exchange and choice here.
It refers to those who cannot become friends in a short period of time, and those whose trust is lacking.
Because both parties are uncertain and do not fully recognize each other, they need to use conditions to supplement, guarantee, or exchange in order to offset the risks.
Li Taoying was originally a staunch opponent.
Later, due to Zhou Xiangzhang's series of blunders, he began to waver and became a hidden centrist.
Only centrists can be won over.
Later, when she fully matures into someone like you and becomes a supporter, you can unite her.
If not, then we need to move on to the next step.
That is, to give up;
Giving up is a rational choice.
This is to conserve our energy so that we can devote more energy to uniting with friends and to our work.
If the people we've won over later become the opposition and stand against us, we can't give them another chance; we have to give up.
Isolation is a covert tactic of attack. It can be used to isolate those who oppose us or harm us, even if we don't kill them outright.
Strikes are a more drastic means of elimination that must be taken when isolation is ineffective.
Typical examples are Zhou Xiangzhang, Xie Changhe, and Lin Wangyou.
We must resolutely suppress those who pose a core threat or stubbornly resist, without regard for future consequences.
However, the use of it was more of a temporary expedient.
Like Ye Man.
This person doesn't qualify as a friend; there's no need for us to stick together.
Their power is not worth winning over.
Then let's make use of it.
We can use his power to do something in a short period of time to achieve our goals.
If you're going to take advantage of someone, you have to be prepared to do so. Don't be afraid of offending them, don't be afraid they'll hold you accountable later, and don't leave them any leverage.
In summary, it depends on the person.
First, we need to see who he is and what methods he is using to deal with him.
Wu Maocai took notes diligently, and after listening, he nodded slightly, looking quite pleased.
"Moreover, we also have to come into contact with all sorts of people."
We cannot rely on just one approach or contact only one type of person.
In this way, we can gain a good reputation and let people know that we have friends, and many of them.
Gradually, even people like Ye Man, who have grievances against us and speak ill of us, will have their voices drowned out.
More and more of our friends will automatically isolate him, and even attack him.
The two were chatting enthusiastically, while Lin Yunxing wandered around outside. He couldn't interrupt the leaders before they finished speaking, even if it meant feeding mosquitoes outside.
Wu Maocai's persistent pursuit of advice from Dawei had a deeper purpose: to increase sunk costs.
The more time a leader spends on him, the greater his chances of winning.
Just as David himself said, a person's energy is limited.
The more energy Dawei puts into Wu Maocai, the less energy he can put into other people.
When Dawei needs to hire people or promote someone, Wu Maocai is the first person he will consider.
This is similar to how teachers like to call on students who have good grades and actively raise their hands to answer questions.
Lin Yunxing had smoked two cigarettes outside when the two leaders finally finished their conversation.
Dawei got out of the car and waved to Lin Yunxing: "Go back and get some rest."
"Yes, County Chief Chen."
Wu Maocai, carrying a bag, approached Lin Yunxing and handed him a pack of cigarettes: "Here, take this. A boss gave it to me."
"Thank you, Director."
"I spoke with Lao Liu from logistics, and he'll promote you to a permanent position next week. You'll be a full-time employee soon, so keep up the good work, Master Lin."
Lin Yunxing grinned, revealing her big teeth, her heart filled with joy: "Director Xie, Director Xie."
"It's okay, it's bound to happen sooner or later. Just keep a low profile and stay away from those old hands in logistics. They might be jealous of you and try to set you up."
Lin Yunxing bowed repeatedly: "I've kept everything the director taught me in mind, and I won't fall for their tricks."
Wu Maocai helped him up, preventing him from bowing any further. If Dawei saw this, he might think that he, as the director, was treating Dawei's childhood friend badly.
"That's good. If you encounter any problems, just come to my office. There's nothing in this compound that County Chief Chen and I can't handle."
Wu Maocai rarely put on airs like this; in the past, he was always very restrained in front of others.
After Director Wu went upstairs, Lin Yunxing drove back to the county.
Back in the dormitory, Lin Lao Er received a call from his sister, Lin Qiu Feng.
"Second brother, are you free? I'm at the county hospital, Mom is sick."
