Today I met a small official, a deputy division chief, and after our chat, I felt numb.
His family has factories worth hundreds of millions, waiting for him to return and inherit.
At that moment, I thought, what are you still doing here?
As our conversation deepened, I finally understood how people from Zhejiang play the game in this world.
In his family, a few brothers have clearly defined roles.
The most promising and studious one must take the civil service exam and enter the system.
The rest will take over the family business and work hard to expand it.
The one entering the system is not doing it for greed. On the contrary, his family lacks for nothing, which gives him the confidence to uphold principles and follow rules, ensuring he won't be swayed by small benefits. What is his task? It is to guarantee that the brother running the business always hears the most accurate whistle and can run the fastest within the rules.
In plain terms, it is about having a backing, information, and connections.
And the one doing business is responsible for providing a safety net for the whole family, giving his brother in power a dignity that won't bow for just five pints of rice. $BNB
