Jinsheng, your matter is making a big fuss. ”

In Ruigang City, Jingnan, Hua Yunsheng, director of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, held a newspaper in his hand and said to Gao Jinsheng who was sitting on the sofa in his office with a melancholy face.

Hua Yunsheng and Gao Jinsheng were middle school classmates, and later were admitted to university in the same year. After graduating from university, Gao Jinsheng went home to inherit the family business, and Hua Yunsheng was assigned to the Ruigang Municipal Planning Commission at that time, as an ordinary civil servant, and after more than ten years of hard work, he was finally promoted to the position of director of the National Development and Reform Commission.

Hua Yunsheng is one of Gao Jinsheng's rare true friends, as for the other business owners and government officials who push glasses and exchange lamps with Gao Jinsheng at the wine table every day, in Gao Jinsheng's words, they are just some relationships that take advantage of each other, and to say that these people are friends is simply insulting the word "friend".

Over the years, Gao Jinsheng's business has become bigger and bigger, and Hua Yunsheng's help is indispensable. The NDRC is a powerful unit with close ties to other government departments. When Gao Jinsheng encounters trouble in the process of business operation, Hua Yunsheng can always find some channels for him to solve it.

In addition to those substantive business helps, Hua Yunsheng also acts as a think tank for Gao Jinsheng. The NDRC is often able to obtain some inside information, and has a more accurate grasp of national policy trends. Gao Jinsheng has to come to Hua Yunsheng to sit here when he has nothing to do, even if it is purely to chat, he can often get some inspiration.

Today, it was Hua Yunsheng who took the initiative to call Gao Jinsheng to come over. As soon as Gao Jinsheng entered the door, Hua Yunsheng handed him a stack of newspapers and asked him to read them by himself. In those newspapers, there are contents circled by Hua Yunsheng with a red pen, which are all about the price war launched by Xia Yi Machine Tool.

Some articles are written more obscurely, just saying that a large machine tool enterprise located in Beidian Province, regardless of market rules, blatantly dumped, squeezing out peers. There are also some articles that are more straightforward, borrowing the mouth of the leaders of other machine tool companies, pointing out the name of Xia Yi Machine Tool, and doing some research, and pulling out the Jinsheng Group.

"Someone's messing with me. Gao Jinsheng glanced at the headlines on those newspapers hastily, then threw the newspapers on the sofa, and said nonchalantly: "Maybe it's the Tang Zifeng who I told you about, he didn't say anything about me in Xia Liang, so he wanted to scare me with such a means." This person is not very young, and he likes to shake a little bit of such cleverness. ”

Hua Yunsheng said: "Jinsheng, don't take it lightly. If you look at the content of those reports, some of them are very heart-wrenching. ”

"What kind of heart?" Gao Jinsheng said disdainfully. He took a newspaper again, read a few paragraphs casually, and showed a sneering look on his face: "The equipment manufacturing industry is the most important weapon of the country, and it must obey the overall layout of the country, and the mention of a game of chess in the country will never go out of style...... , what a joke, the person who can say such things is already outdated in itself. A game of chess in the whole country, Yunsheng, I remember that this is still what we learned in politics class when we were in middle school, and now it's 2003, and we still mention this old-fashioned slogan. ”

Hua Yunsheng's face was grim, and he said: "Jinsheng, the saying that the whole country is a game of chess, we have always said within the National Development and Reform Commission, and it cannot be said to be outdated. Also, you don't look at who said these words, the same sentence comes from different people's mouths, and the weight is different. ”

"Who said that?" Gao Jinsheng turned his gaze back to the newspaper, looked for it, and said, "Is this the person?" Wang Zijie, a professor at Renmin University. Isn't it just a professor, it is estimated that he also received Tang Zifeng's benefit fee and came out to support him. When I went back, I asked people to ask the price, how much Tang Zifeng gave him, and I doubled, I don't believe he would change his mind and scold Tang Zifeng. ”

Hua Yunsheng shook his head and said, "Jinsheng, you are mistaken. This Wang Zijie is not the kind of grass chicken professor you invited to the platform in the past, he is a person who can often talk to the central leaders. Among the young economists in China, he is among the top three in terms of fame, and you are sure that you can let him speak for you with a little money?"

"What's so hard about that. He is famous, that is, the price is a little higher. Gao Jinsheng said.

Hua Yunsheng was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Jinsheng, we are old classmates, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, but I don't know whether it is suitable or not." ”

Gao Jinsheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Yunsheng, if you have anything to say, do you still need to be polite between us?"

Hua Yunsheng said: "To tell you the truth, there is more than one person who said in front of me, Jinsheng, your business has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and people are a little floating." ”

"Floating?" Gao Jinsheng sneered, "I've never floated, it's because they see that I've made some money, and their hearts are unbalanced, so I say anything casually, and they all think I'm floating." ”

"When you talk to people now, you say something 'just' at every turn, and many people are not used to hearing it. ”

"Really, I said it on purpose. Didn't they look down on me, and I had to tell them that what they said and did was the word 'that's all' to me. ”

"Do you really think that if you have money, you can do whatever you want? Including you said that if you spend more money, you can let Wang Zijie speak for you, are you serious?"

"That's exactly what I thought. You are talking about this Wang Zijie, I don't know how amazing he is. However, no matter how remarkable, it is a university professor...... That's it, give him 100,000 yuan, can he do it?"

"Jinsheng, if you can say such a thing, it's floating. Hua Yunsheng sighed, "As far as I know, this Wang Zijie is very popular now, and governments everywhere want to invite him to give lectures, and the appearance fee for a class is fifty or sixty thousand." Think about it, will he lack your 100,000 yuan?"

"Is there such a cow?" Gao Jinsheng said in surprise, "Spending fifty or sixty thousand yuan, just to invite someone to come over and give a lecture, is your government too much money?"

"Lecturing is not the same as lecturing. Hua Yunsheng patiently explained, "I told you that this Wang Zijie is a person who can often talk to the central leaders. Sometimes, when the leader has something that is inconvenient to say directly, he will borrow his mouth to help him say it. So what he says sometimes represents the meaning of the leader, and it is the kind of meaning that cannot be seen in official documents.

"Those of us who do government work closely follow the policy in everything, and if we make a mistake, not to mention any mistakes, we just miss the development opportunity, and the loss is calculated in hundreds of millions. Tell me, is it expensive to spend 50,000 or 60,000 yuan to invite him to give a lecture to everyone?"

Gao Jinsheng finally tasted a little taste, and he asked: "Do you mean that this Wang Zijie's words are used in this article in the newspaper, which also means that it represents the leader?"

Hua Yunsheng said: "This is not easy to say, but since it was Wang Zijie who spoke, we had better be cautious, who knows if he is shouting at you on behalf of the leader?"

"What can the leader shout?" Gao Jinsheng said, "I haven't broken the law." The price reduction of machine tools is just an ordinary business behavior. A few years ago, there was a price war in the TV industry, and no one seemed to say anything, right?"

Hua Yunsheng said: "The situation of the TV industry is different from that of the machine tool industry. These articles make it clear that machine tools belong to the national equipment industry, which involves national technical security, and the country's control in this regard is relatively strict.

"I work at the NDRC and have a lot of exposure to this area. For example, a few years ago, the Americans wanted to curb the development of China's military industry and made a Cox report, which proposed to impose export restrictions on some high-end machine tools to China. At that time, several leaders spoke, saying that things like machine tools must be in their own hands to be practical, and the machine tool industry must not collapse. Come to think of it, is this the same thing as a television?"

Gao Jinsheng thought for a moment and asked, "So, Yunsheng, what do you mean?"

"You guys, don't do that price war anymore, just take it when you see it. Hua Yunsheng said.

"It can't be. Gao Jinsheng didn't think about it, and directly refused.

"Why?" Hua Yunsheng was surprised. He talked to Gao Jinsheng for such a long time, even if Gao Jinsheng didn't understand it, he shouldn't refuse so simply, could it be that what he just said, Gao Jinsheng was treated as air?

Gao Jinsheng said: "I asked Xia Yi Machine to reduce the price several times in a row, and they have been out of breath. Next month, I plan to reduce prices by another 5%, and it is estimated that several machine tool factories will close their doors directly. They are doing this now, just to scare me with newspapers and make me let them go.

"Even if what you say is reasonable, the machine tool industry is very important, not suitable for a price war, they at least have to find someone to talk to me, right? If I publish a few articles in the newspaper, I will retract it, and I will not be looked down upon by them in the future?"

Hua Yunsheng said: "Didn't you tell me last time that President Zhou of the 20 Joint Conference and Tang Zifeng of the Linji Group went to Xia Liang to see you?"

"That doesn't count. Gao Jinsheng said, "They went to demonstrate to me, not to negotiate with me." Both of them put on an official show, thinking that they represent the country, and I am just a private small boss, and they don't take me seriously at all. If they talk to me like that, I'm sure I'm not going to sell them. ”

"What do you want, let the Minister of the Ministry of Machinery come and beg you?" Hua Yunsheng was a little anxious.

"That's not it, besides, hasn't the Ministry of Machinery been abolished?" Gao Jinsheng said, "I just hope they can be a little sincere." It's not impossible for me to stop, but they have to give some conditions, right? In the past few years, I have invested more than 100 million yuan in Xia Yiji, and the purpose is not to be a small machine tool factory. If I give up halfway now, won't the money I spent earlier be in vain?"

Hua Yunsheng looked at Gao Jinsheng for a while before asking, "Jinsheng, you were serious about what you said just now, right?"

"Seriously, of course. Gao Jinsheng said.

Hua Yunsheng nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't say anything." Jinsheng, you can do it yourself. ”
