Chapter 254 Swain's Conflict
The divine selection system of leaders naturally ensures the purity of the management team and the efficiency of the company's operations.
For example, in general companies, due to the personal selfishness of managers, there are various problems such as power struggles, cliques, bloated organizations, multiple leadership, talent loss, etc.
It is common in the private enterprises of the former Piltover tycoons.
On the contrary, it is almost invisible in the leading state-owned enterprises.
"This..." This was like a beautiful fairy tale, and Swain could not let it go for a long time.
He couldn't help but want to find some loopholes in it: "But selfish desire is the driving force behind human progress!"
"Don't those leading executives who manage enterprises want to earn more money and live a better life?"
"If all enterprises are publicly owned and the profits belong to the public, then how can they have the motivation to expand and improve their enterprises?"
Swain believed that there might be no such petty things under the Wind Leader's rule. But if people were not greedy and did not work hard, and productivity stagnated, would the harm be small?
"Old sir, you still underestimate our leader!" said the snack bar owner with a smile.
In order to prevent ordinary people from being fooled by scholars, the leaders pay great attention to the political training of ordinary people. Since Zaun's independence, in-depth propaganda meetings in major communities have never stopped.
Children may not like this boring ideological and political course, but adults like the snack bar owner who have suffered in old Zaan are very interested in learning about this knowledge.
Swain had heard questions like the one he raised countless times at the Leader's lectures.
In fact, once upon a time, he himself was one of these doubters.
Therefore, the snack bar owner did not refute Swain's belief that "selfishness is the source of progress."
He simply said: "Are selfish desires limited to superficial material desires?"
"No, for those who truly lead the way, their selfishness is their public interest, their ideal. To achieve the ultimate goal of Jannaism is their greatest desire."
"Just like our Director Mel and our Vice President Victor. They already have a comfortable life. If they are just after material desires, why would they want to be leaders?"
"But they are only a minority after all!" Swain didn't believe that there were so many saints in the world.
"There are more idealists than you think!" the snack bar owner also retorted fiercely.
"So what about you? If I asked you to open a shop without making any money, would you be willing to do it?" Swain asked tit for tat.
"Hey!" The snack bar owner spread his hands and said, "So I'm not the leader yet—"
"Look, an ordinary person like me with strong selfish desires, was I excluded from the team from the beginning?"
Swain was speechless.
At this time, the snack bar owner said: "Also, old man, do you have any misunderstandings about our leader?"
"Leaders should be dedicated to serving the public, but that doesn't mean those cadres who are dedicated to serving the public should suffer and become poor."
When there are difficulties, leaders will naturally be at the forefront.
But now that Zaun has sufficient funds and is no longer in financial difficulty, why bother putting in superficial efforts and making everyone suffer unnecessarily?
“We also believe in paying according to work.”
"For example, in the state-owned enterprises you mentioned, the leading cadres not only receive good salaries on a regular basis, but also receive large allowances linked to the company's performance at the end of each year."
“So even if we don’t talk about fairness or ideals, we are still motivated to make the company bigger and better!”
As a factory manager of a leader, although his life is not as good as the Ziben family in Piltover, it is definitely much better than most middle-class families.
They are wealthier than most Zaun people, but Zaun people are not jealous.
Because this kind of wealth is not exaggerated. And everyone knows that under the God-chosen system controlled by Janna, the factory manager's salary is clean and not tainted by any dirt.
The accumulation of wealth from generation to generation will not allow Zaun to form aristocratic families like Piltover.
No matter how rich the sons and grandsons of an excellent factory manager are, under the system of God's choice controlled by Janna, if they have impure intentions, it is impossible for them to sneak into the team of leaders and create the vulgar drama of "the son follows in his father's footsteps".
Wealth may be passed on, but for the leader, power is impossible.
The team of leaders will always be pure and will always have fresh blood from the people.
Because the leaders do not look at one’s background, there is only one threshold to join the leaders - devotion to faith.
After joining Leader, promotion and advancement are still determined based on personal ability and contribution to Leader’s business.
If a boss does not consider the personal ability and contribution of his subordinates, but relies on other unspeakable criteria to promote "talents" -
Then this boss will soon be exposed to the public during the next quarter's faith testing ceremony.
No, don't even wait until then.
As he did so, Mr. Tam might have swum over in his deep-sea submarine, smelling the "scent" of depravity.
Although this level of violation would not result in a direct death, the demon's tongue is so big that a couple of licks could cost you a layer of skin, or even a finger...
In short, don't stretch out your hand, or you will be licked.
The snack bar owner didn't know about the existence of the demon Tam, but the Leader's public faith test every quarter was enough for him and thousands of Zaun people to have absolute trust in the Leader:
"The entry threshold and promotion channels for our leaders are absolutely fair and just."
"That's why I said that only the leader can solve this problem!"
Swain: “…”
"The only one who can solve this problem is the Leader..." He murmured, lost in thought.
Although he and the snack bar owner were discussing business issues, how different are the problems of a business and a country in essence?
How great was the Noxian Empire in the past? Which of those aristocratic families that parasitized the Empire like a tumor were not heroes of the Empire and pillars of the court in the past?
But they have changed.
“Alas, the human heart, the human heart…” Swain suddenly seemed to have aged a few years.
Because he had realized that the booklet was right.
He might be able to physically destroy the old aristocratic families, but he could not destroy the soil that gave birth to them.
Not only him, but also Noxus, Piltover, Demacia, Ionia... no smart person in the world can do it.
Smart people can see the truth of the world. But they can only blend in, go along with the crowd, and only keep themselves clean and admire themselves...
One can only fly into a flame like a moth, and burn into ashes in one's ideal.
Only leaders can truly change the world.
“……”Swain’s forehead was covered with cold sweat.
He knew the leader was right.
He has no personal desires, and seems to be the same as the leader.
But his public spirit is different from that of the leader.
Not only is it different, but it is also directly opposite to the leader.
Moreover, he still had so many students and former officials who were dependent on him and who were also "kidnapped" him. It was difficult for him to get off this high.
“The Windleader can save Noxus.” Swain has already confirmed this.
"But if Noxus no longer exists, if the Empire becomes the domain of these Zaun leaders in the future, then has Noxus been saved?"
He was struggling with his thoughts: "How should I choose?"
