Wu He has a lot of opinions about the island country, but seems to be friendly to other countries, but Liu Lang is not impressed.

"Professor Wu, there is no affection between countries and countries, all actions are based on interests, and Americans and Europeans are by no means well-intentioned, and they also pay attention to themselves.

Our market and cheap labor are the key to attracting them, especially now, our country's productivity is too low and too low, many things can not be produced, not to mention what kind of cars, that is, many common items are very difficult, such as plastic products and chemical products, etc., the price of these things is very cheap, once we set up factories in our country, the price will drop significantly, and then ordinary people will be able to afford it, once they occupy the market, our own goods may be in danger, if our own enterprises all go bankrupt, then it will be the world of these foreign enterprises, which will form a monopolyAt that point, they will increase the price at will, and that's what they're ultimately aiming for!"

Liu Lang's words surprised Wu He, foreign countries have better technology, and the quality of the goods produced is not comparable to that of China, and if the market is opened, the competitiveness of domestic products will definitely not be comparable to foreign countries.

"Yes! Our country will soon adjust some policies, such as tariffs, and now the tariffs are very high, ordinary goods have reached 100 percent, and goods like automobiles have reached 200 percent, and the next step is that the state is ready to make a certain reduction, and the tariffs on ordinary goods will drop by about 5 percent, and goods like automobiles will drop by about 10 percent!"

The use of tariffs to control commodity prices is an important policy of the state to protect national brands, although the state proposes to open up the market, but this process is not completed all at once, but gradually liberalized, and now the country's preliminary opinion is to reduce by five percent every year, so that it can be reduced to half in ten years, and this speed can reach the tariff level of other countries by the beginning of the 21st century.

"Of course, the tariffs on ordinary goods can't change too quickly, as for the tariffs on goods like cars, they won't play a role in the short term, after all, the people's income is still very low, even if they can't afford to introduce it at the original price, but they must also formulate norms, and we can't let foreigners say it, anyway, we haven't joined the GATT, and outsiders can't make irresponsible remarks about us!"

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is the predecessor of the WTO, which will unify and negotiate worldwide trade behavior, and will not be replaced by the WTO until ten years later.

"Yes! The GATT is a rule formulated by the developed countries, and we are far from meeting the conditions, Liu Lang, the problem you just said is the key, when foreign enterprises enter and bring a large amount of capital and technology, with the continuous development of productive forces, the people's lives will get better and better, and then they will choose very good commodities to buy, can our own commodities be compared with foreign commodities?"

Wu He is obviously also worried about this matter, the purpose of the country's introduction of foreign capital is to promote the economic development of the whole society faster, but it will also have an impact on its own goods, and may even destroy the national brand.

"Openness is the trend of the times, not opening is a dead end, foreign companies into the house is not to lead the wolf into the room, but to force ourselves to do better, the big waves, only really survive to become stronger, our country is not weak and can't help the weak people, but can be a strong person for the country to shield the wind and rain, I believe that with our own ability, we will eventually break out of a way!"

Liu Lang said loudly.

"Well, that's fine, I believe that soon there will be a lot of problems with state-owned enterprises, and then the country will really recognize their disadvantages, and the reform and privatization process of state-owned enterprises will be greatly accelerated, and when our enterprises are revitalized, they may not be worse than foreign enterprises!"

Wu He is also full of confidence in the country.

"That's right, although the state wants to vigorously promote reform and opening up, but our own enterprises must speed up reform, to let them adapt to the rules of the market economy, especially many lifeline industries, we must give policy protection, not just because of the entry of foreign capital to ignore these enterprises! There are also those private economies, the state should also give support, let them let go of their hands and feet, in the future, perhaps private enterprises are the most important economic components of our country!"

"Don't worry, Liu Lang, your book on the country's national issues for the next five years will be in the hands of everyone at the top level, and everyone will pay attention to this!"

In Liu Lang's previous life, the process of reform was accompanied by the rise and fall of state-owned enterprises, some enterprises went bankrupt completely, and some enterprises went bankrupt and reorganized to revitalize again, and at the same time, a large number of private enterprises appeared, and they came from behind and became the pillars of the national economy.

In fact, the policies implemented by the country today are not much different from those in the previous life, but the time is two years in advance, and because of Liu Lang's reminder, many people have realized many possible problems, and the country has also made preparations for these problems, which has not happened in the previous life.

As soon as the World Economic Conference was concluded, the People's Daily published a special page for several days to introduce the tremendous achievements of the conference, first, to publicize the importance of the country's reform and opening up; second, to further emancipate the minds of the people of the whole country and let them go freely; and third, to tell everyone that although our country is poor, we also have our own advantages, and the market potential of more than one billion people is enough to make the whole world pay attention to it, so we do not need to worship foreign countries too much, we must be full of confidence in ourselves, and we must stand up and .........!

These reports immediately aroused heated discussions among the people of the whole country, especially those in the private sector, and these reports undoubtedly gave them a shot in the arm, and many people with vision realized that the changes in the country were undoubtedly huge business opportunities for them personally.

Private enterprises do not need to worry, they are born with keen insight and strong adaptability, just like a tenacious grass, give them a little nutrients will grow up quickly, but they also have weaknesses, that is, there is no large amount of capital, can only grow gradually through accumulation, so many private entrepreneurs are starting with the simplest handicraft workshop, after several years of development, it is possible to enter the field of those important industrial commodities after accumulating a certain amount of funds.
