Work and choice

A government project lead and the partner that worked instead

16 July 2025Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

A client asked about a government project lead and nonprofit partnerships. The reading said the government line would not be worth the effort, and nonprofits would work better.

Today I connected with people from the provincial Communist Youth League by chance. It feels like they have a lot of resources and are willing to share them, but I need to sort out my own resources first. There are two ways to go about this: 1. For the projects I’ve already introduced and the people who have completed the training, I need to handle the on-the-ground delivery. 2. Partner with other nonprofit organizations; they provide the content and people for delivery. I want to ask: is option 1 actually feasible? I’ve never done a government cooperation project before. I don’t know how much work it will involve, and I’ll be caught between the government and the delivery team — stuck in the middle. I’m nervous about it. Can I handle both sides? Can I find enough delivery staff to complete the government work with good quality and quantity? How satisfied will the government be? 2. What should I watch out for when partnering with other nonprofit organizations? 3. If I hand all or part of the project to my current staff, can they handle it? Basically I’m asking whether this government line is worth pursuing deeply, and whether it will take up too much of my time and energy. This is mainly a public welfare project, so there’s definitely no direct money to be made here. I want to know if it can meet my other expectations. Also, what should I pay attention to? Is the public welfare field worth my long-term investment?

今天因为某些机缘，和团省委的人搭上了线。感觉他们很有资源，也乐意给我提供，但是我要把我的资源梳理出来，包括2个方面搞： 1 我手头自己引进的、现有的项目，完成学习的人员，要进行落地交付 2和其他公益机构合作，他们出内容和人员进行交付。想问，1的交付是否现实可行，我从来没有搞过政府合作项目，对将要产生的工作量不了解，而且涉及到和政府、和交付人员的对接，就是要当夹心饼干了，比较忐忑，想问我是否能搞的定两边，是否能够顺利找到足够的交付人员，保质保量完成政府工作，政府这边满意度如何。 2 和其他公益机构合作，要注意什么 3 把项目全部或者部分交给我手头的员工，他们能否胜任其实总结也就是问政府这条线是否能深入跟，会不会耗费我太多时间精力。这块主要是公益项目，钱上面肯定无法直接在这里变现，想问问是否能达成我其他方面的预期。还有就是要注意什么。公益领域是否值得我长期深耕？

Let me take a look.

我看看哈

Finally, looking at the wealth and reputation sectors: Wu Earth is in the Li trigram, [redacted] is in the Zhen trigram, [redacted]. You can find money through this, which goes against the assumption that public welfare projects don’t make money. [redacted] has Tian Ren Star and Xuan Wu. Yi Wood is mainly about publicity effect, which generates a certain amount of financial momentum and helps promote your courses. For reputation, Tian Fu Star falls in the Xun trigram, which generates your palace. Reputation can also be gained, and it will easily expand your scale. Because there is Jiu Di here, when doing public welfare, the most basic courses or materials you provide should be clearly different from your formal courses.

最后看财富和名声板块，戊土在离卦，[redacted]在震卦，[redacted]，可以找到钱，这个和公益项目不赚钱和这个假设倒是相反的，[redacted]见天任星，玄武，乙木主要是宣传效应，产生一定的金钱力量，对你的课程推动有效果。名声是天辅星，落在巽卦，生你宫位，名声也可以求得，且容易扩大你的规模。这里因为有九地，所以在做公益的时候，出最基本的课程或者物资，要和自己正式课程有明显差异化。

Got it.

收哈

I don’t recommend putting effort into this.

不建议费力干这个

I actually ended up connecting with nonprofit organizations. They came to Guiyang to meet me in person today [emoji]

确实和公益机构玩到一块了，今天他们就来贵阳和我面谈[emoji]

So can I understand it this way: the government side isn’t going very smoothly, but partnering with nonprofit organizations on projects is actually good for me?

所以可以这样理解吗，就是和政府这块不怎么顺利，但是我和公益机构合作搞点项目，反而对我有好处

Zongyuan

Yes.

是的

That’s exactly what it means. You and the nonprofit organizations can get along great.

就是这个意思，和公益机构可以哥俩好

Client

This was accurate again. The government side isn’t delivering.

这个又准了，政府不给力

Now I’m getting along great with the nonprofit organizations.

现在我跟公益机构，哥俩好
