Neither Wang Zhongjun’s marketing plan nor Lin Xiaoling’s short films had much impact for the time being, because at this time the Chinese people were attracted by something.

That is, ordinary people can enter state organs to work by passing the exam, which is called taking civil servants.

In August 1994, the Chinese state organs recruited civil servants for the first time. As soon as the news came out, the whole country was in full swing.

This may be a bit exaggerated, but it did cause a great sensation in the city, especially in the capital. The people were initially disbelief and skeptical, and even many state organs were waiting and watching.

Without connections and recommendations, you can work in government agencies by taking exams alone, which is something you would never imagine before.

Some even think that this is a new form of imperial examination.

The Ministry of Personnel held a special press conference for this purpose, announcing that it would organize the first recruitment of civil servants in state administrative agencies.

In the following days, nearly 14,000 people were consulted, and the newspaper called "10,000 people taking the civil servant exam". For a time, taking the civil servant exam became a hot topic.

Especially for college students, this is an opportunity to change their destiny.

At this time, the university graduation package is allocated. Those who have something to do can be assigned to good units, and those who have nothing to do can only obey the arrangements. Now they have one more choice, which is to take the civil service exam.

This is like the college entrance examination, an exam changes a lifetime.

There is no one-sided support in the newspaper, and there are still voices of doubt.

They question whether this new form of imperial examination can really select available talents, whether only some mediocre talents with high scores and low ability will be admitted, and whether the content of the examination will become a new eight-legged essay.

The latest cultural interview of Mu Shanshan invited the Executive Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of China and the leader of the Leading Group for Implementing the Civil Service System to respond to the questions.

Cultural interviews sometimes shoulder the responsibility of promoting national policies. Civil servant exams have a connection with culture, but their origins are actually the imperial examinations in ancient times.

The advantage of this system is that it breaks the control of talents by the powerful and powerful families and creates a rising channel for poor families.

Moreover, this method of selecting talents is relatively open and transparent, reducing behind-the-scenes operations.

Mu Shanshan's cultural interview program has become a signboard of China TV station, and has attracted more and more attention from middle and senior officials in society, becoming a must-see TV program for them.

The interviewees included large-scale business owners, famous scholars, international celebrities, and government officials.

Whether it is content or depth, it cannot be compared with other programs. Mu Shanshan does not only ask some gossip stories, but can also make the audience gain something while sharing the life experiences of these people.

For example, their successful experience, their personality and way of doing things, and national policies like this time.

What everyone is most concerned about is whether this civil service examination system can be adhered to, whether it is necessary to rely on relationships after the exam, whether this is a strong job, whether it is a job, whether it will be fired if it is not done well in the government office, etc.

Mu Shanshan will ask these questions on behalf of the people.

Lin Zixuan sighed quite emotionally that this is the extremely competitive "National First Exam". It is said that 169 people were admitted to the position of clerk of the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments in Beijing, with more than 4,000 applicants.

In this era, civil servants in the agency went into business, but some people passed the exam and entered the agency to work.

This is an era of change full of opportunities. As long as you seize opportunities, you have the possibility of changing your own destiny.

On China TV Station, Lin Zixuan picked up Mu Shanshan and the two drove home.

"This time the ratings of the program hit a new high. It seems that everyone is very concerned about civil servant exams. Do you think this is an official-oriented idea?" Mu Shanshan talked.

There is indeed an official-oriented idea in China, and being an official is the most honorable person.

However, this topic cannot be mentioned in the program. It is a feudal dregs. In the new era, both civil servants and officials are public servants and serve the people.

At least that's what it says in publicity.

"If I had this opportunity when I first graduated, I would have gone to the exam, as this would be a carp jumping into the dragon gate." Lin Zixuan sighed.

For ordinary children, working in government agencies is still very attractive. It sounds nice to say that it is easy to find a partner, and there is also a chance to get benefits.

"Then aren't you going to the sea yet?" Mu Shanshan asked back.

"This system is like a bird cage. The birds in the cage want to fly out, and the birds outside the cage want to fly in. The birds flying out yearn for freedom, and the birds flying in are at peace." Lin Zixuan said in a metaphor.

"I can't tell that you still have a heart that yearns for freedom." Mu Shanshan teased.

"That's right, I am hiding deep, and most people can't see it." Lin Zixuan joked, "I'm going to send a few pieces of old furniture here today, so we'll go back soon."

"It's the friend that Brother Feng mentioned last time? Is it reliable?" Mu Shanshan said suspiciously.

"Don't worry, I've seen it twice. I've been in this industry for more than ten years, and I've been an old collector." Lin Zixuan promised.

The person Feng Xiaogang introduced was Ma Modu. He had collected it in the 1980s and now he has many rare collections. He has a reputation in the antique circle and has never published a book about ceramics.

Lin Zixuan and Ma Modu met twice and asked him to help collect some old furniture in the circle.

Nowadays, old furniture cannot be sold at a price, mainly because the market is not popular and is still in the stage of cultivation. When auction houses in China emerge, the price will rise.

In fact, the reason for the surge in prices of many antiques is that auction houses are fueling the fire.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan returned to the courtyard. Ma Modu and the Duke were waiting outside. The man was less than forty years old, and he was like an old Beijinger, with a good manners and a good manner.

This time he brought four pieces of old furniture, tables, chairs, and coffee tables, which should be a set, and the things look good.

Lin Zixuan didn't understand very much. I thought Ma Modu would not lie to him. It was not worth it if there was nothing much money.

He asked the workers to move the things into the house and called Ma Mo to sit in the living room, and everyone had tea and chat.

Ma Modu is a good person. He talks about antiques and makes people sound boring. However, he never mentions the price of old furniture, which makes Lin Zixuan feel strange.

"Brother Ma, are you doing something?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"This is really a bit of a problem." Ma Modu pondered, "I watched the cultural interview on TV. Xiao Mu hosted it so well. I was thinking about whether I could go up and talk about antique collections. This is also our traditional culture and should be carried forward."

Lin Zixuan understood as soon as he heard this. This was because he was attracted by the influence of cultural interviews.

If he could talk about collecting on Chinese TV programs, he would be even more famous in the antique circle. As of now, there are no programs on TV that talk about collecting antiques. To be continued.
