Hu Wenhai couldn't cry or laugh and waved his hand again and again, which made Lu Guanqiu end his "touting" of him unsatisfactorily.
It can be seen from this conference room that the Academy of Social Sciences has really invested a lot of money. In the middle is a long conference table, with a heavy white cloth spread on the table, which is not only spotless, but also meticulously aligned.
On the table were the name tags of each of them, followed by a teacup, a table of contents for the meeting, and a ballpoint pen. Although there is nothing new, just the arrangement of this formation makes it easy to realize that a lot of thought has been put into it.
Hu Wenhai easily found his position, and it turned out to be next to Lu Guanqiu, and from his position downwards, there was a long list of well-known entrepreneur names.
Although the conference was sponsored by the Propaganda Department, the Commission for the Reform of the System, and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the people invited were not limited to these three departments. Not only people from various ministries and commissions participated, but also many people from academia and business circles.
Just looking at the name plates and seats in the conference room, it is really difficult for the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to find such a large conference room.
As the personnel arrived one after another, the people on the rostrum were all seated. Just as a voice sounded from the loudspeaker of the conference room, someone suddenly pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.
"Hello everyone, welcome to todayβ"
In the creaking sound, the meeting host's words had just begun, and the door that had been closed after the meeting began was pushed open from the outside.
Such a sudden situation made almost everyone's eyes focus on the door. A man in his forties stood in front of the door, his expression calm and even slightly arrogant.
Now sitting in front of the stage is Director Li of the Commission for the Reform of the System, and on the left and right are the senior leaders of the Propaganda Department and the Academy of Social Sciences, and the leading cadres of the Economic Commission, the Planning Commission, the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Commission, the Ministry of Electronics Industry, and a large number of high-level ministries and commissions.
Change to a timid bureaucrat, just seeing this lineup has to soften half of the legs.
If there are really attendees who are late, they can only wait outside to see if they can attend the afternoon meeting, and there is absolutely no reason for such a loud speaker to break in.
But that's how the person came in, without a cramped expression, but with an indifferent expression, which made everyone present feel a little weak.
"Secretary Bao?" Director Li of the Reform Commission stood up with some surprise, and subconsciously wanted to start applauding and welcome.
Secretary Bao, who was standing at the door, waved his hand, walked forward with a smile, and said, "Director Li, don't be polite, the chief attaches great importance to today's meeting, let me come and listen to it." Go on, and don't let me delay your time. β
Director Li's eyes were a little weird, but he nodded and sat down.
The head of the secretarial service is, in theory, the top leader of today's China. Theoretically speaking, Secretary Bao can also be regarded as the secretary of the first echelon in China, and his future is limitless.
Since the chief wants to ask the secretary to come to the audit, there is no reason not to give notice in advance, right? What is the matter with just walking in so suddenly? When did the people in the chief's office stop doing things like this?
But since Secretary Bao appeared at the meeting like this, of course there was no reason to kick him out. The rule of not entering the venue if you are late can only be managed by the participants, and it is categorically not controlled by this person.
Secretary Bao really walked to the front row of the rostrum, found someone to add a chair and sat down. Then he unhurriedly took out a cowhide notepad from his pocket, unscrewed the cap of the pen, and began to record without saying a word.
Although Secretary Bao didn't say anything, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. But the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became serious.
Hu Wenhai was a little puzzled, turned his head and whispered to Lu Guanqiu.
"Mr. Lu, what is the origin of this secretary, why do they ...... even Director Li?"
Before Hu Wenhai finished speaking, Lu Guanqiu hurriedly made a silent gesture and said in a very low voice: "Secretary Bao, I've only heard of it, it should beβ"
As he spoke, Lu Guanqiu pointed upwards covertly, and then said, "The secretary of the chief at the top." β
Hu Wenhai glared and asked in surprise, "Secretary Bao is from Deng?"
Lu Guanqiu shook his head: "It's from the secretary's office." β
Hu Wenhai was stunned for a moment, he didn't know much about this person who was later hidden by history. But at the moment, when he has not stepped down, he undoubtedly does have supreme power.
Before Hu Wenhai came back to his senses, Director Li on the stage continued the meeting.
What surprised Hu Wenhai a little was that the leaders' speeches at the beginning of the meeting did not have any long speeches, and there were even fewer official words and superficial articles. Director Li, as the host of the meeting, even gave a speech for only three minutes.
And the speeches of the leaders in the background rarely exceed this time. Statements made in a limited amount of time are almost always very concise and practical. Such an efficient meeting allowed Hu Wenhai to completely overturn his expected impression of this meeting.
It is said that there will be many GCDs, and formalism and red tape are the most criticized. But in reality, the more grassroots people tend to do this. At such a high-level meeting, the leaders on the stage have countless jobs waiting for him to do every minute, and the participants in the audience are either big people or peach and plum all over the world. For people like Lu Guanqiu, who are tens of thousands of yuan per minute, there are at least thirty or forty of the one hundred and seventy-four people in this conference room.
Wasting a minute in such a meeting and not knowing how much of an impact it will make. The more high-level the meeting, the more focused it actually tends to be. Who wastes the time of the big guys?
As the meeting deepened, Hu Wenhai's attitude gradually corrected.
Although the name of this meeting is "Theoretical Seminar," the issues discussed are very practical, and it can be said that the meeting conducted by the Commission for the Reform of the System is really seeking answers to the question of how the current domestic economy will develop in the next few years.
One of the biggest problems of the domestic economy emerged from the speeches of the speakers at the conference.
Inflation.
Inflation has become the most serious problem that China needs to face in reform, and although China's current economic situation has a good side, the achievements in construction since the reform and opening up are obvious to all. But along with the other side of the construction results, the current economic situation even makes people generally pessimistic.
The direct result of the overheating and rapid development of the economy is a substantial expansion of aggregate social demand. However, it is very difficult to control inflation for the time being.
Ministries and state-owned enterprises have continued to borrow money from the central government, and the central government has no choice but to constantly ask the central bank to print banknotes and put them into circulation. The continuous rise in the money supply eventually led to an annual inflation of several tens of percentage points in China in the eighties.
"I think the main reason for inflation that is too fast is that there is insufficient supply, excessive demand. Demand includes consumption demand and production demand, the rapid growth of consumer demand is the rapid growth of total social wages, the chaotic circulation of production demand materials, the slow growth of productivity, the growth rate of consumption demand is greater than the growth rate of labor productivity, coupled with too much money, it will inevitably lead to inflation. The increase in terminal demand will inevitably lead to an excessively rapid increase in production demand, so to control inflation, we should not only reduce production demand by compressing investment, but should first rectify the circulation links, reduce social consumption, and appropriately control the rate of wage growth......"
"I don't think the high inflation in 1988 was caused by the overheating of fixed asset investment. In fact, this year's investment in fixed assets is similar to the growth rate and inflation rate of the same period last year, which is equivalent to the growth of demand. In terms of investment in fixed assets, non-productive investment should be reduced and the structure of production investment should be adjusted. Only by reducing demand on the one hand, increasing supply on the other, and reducing the gap between supply and aggregate demand can we achieve the goal of controlling inflation. β
"I think inflation is harmful, but it is an inevitable cost of reform, and I am afraid that it cannot be avoided......"
"I think that moderate inflation is powerful for economic development, driving profit growth in industrial production. Inflation is not terrible, and we should try to move it in a direction conducive to the development of productive forces......"
"Too much money can lead to inflation, and that's something we've been asking the Treasury for a long time. However, the Ministry of Finance insisted on going its own way and did not pay the slightest attention to it, and the leaders did not like to listen to such words as too many votes. I believe that to control inflation, we must first correct the leaders' sense of management, and if we listen to them at the same time, we will be clear and biased, and we will not just listen to what you like to hear!"
......
Hu Wenhai was really eye-opening, and the speeches of everyone at the meeting could even be said to be very sharp, and they would not save any face for others at all. The expression of opinions was-for-tat, and even simply bombarded the departments with real power, and the leaders of several departments on the stage were sweating profusely on their faces, obviously being bombarded by the speeches of the people below. But even so, no one has come forward to restrict the scale of speech.
This seminar really refreshed his understanding of China's high-level meetings. If you can really permeate such an atmosphere and attitude at the grassroots level, the meeting will not be annoying to some extent, right?
It is a pity that such an efficiency and atmosphere of the meeting is destined to be impossible for all bureaucrats to achieve. After all, bureaucrats are bureaucrats because of their pursuit of the appearance of power represented by meaninglessness and formalism.
Without the verbosity of the speeches at the conference, how can the little things in their heads and stomachs support the enormous responsibilities that come with power?
In the context of the great era, some people move forward with a load, and some people pretend that the years are quiet.
