Chapter 108 Economic Conference
In a conference room in the Great Hall, the prime minister, heads of ministries and commissions, as well as well-known domestic economists, were sitting together to discuss the economic work of the year, and Wu He, as one of the country's think tanks, was certainly among them.
"This year's GDP is expected to complete the plan, with a year-on-year increase of more than 8 percent, and fiscal revenue can exceed 100 billion yuan, but there are also a lot of expenditures, and the balance is almost the same as last year. ”
The director of the Economic Commission is making a summary to everyone, although it is now November, and there is still a month before the end of the year, but on the whole there will not be much change.
"Well, the development has been a bit fast in recent years, especially today, many factories in the south are very good, the production momentum is very strong, and many raw materials are not available, fortunately, there is the support of the three northern provinces, which Lao Ding You have contributed to!"
The prime minister glanced at his deputy Ding Huizhong, who was sitting next to him, and it was he who sat in the northeast to supervise the war and completed the targets set by the state.
"Lao Zhao, is that still not your idea? A few bottles of Moutai confused Hu Weiguo and them, it seems that they will have to use this trick next time!"
Ding Huizhong said with a smile.
"Alas, it's hard for them this time, but there's no way!
"That's right, the economic situation has not declined this year, and Lao Lu, your credit is not small, this crackdown is very effective, and the occurrence of cases has been completely curbed. ”
The prime minister pointed to a person next to him.
"What credit do I have? It is our duty to maintain social stability!"
The other party replied immediately.
"Next year is the sixth year of reform, the economic growth in recent years has been very fast, especially this year, prices have risen a lot, everyone talks about it, what should we do next?"
The Prime Minister asked, looking at the people below.
Prices are indeed a big problem, and prices have basically not changed much in the 20 or 30 years before reform and opening up, but in the last year or two, prices have begun to rise, and grain and oil are still better, and the state controls tightly, that is, cement and steel, which have risen by 20 percent this year, and if they continue to rise like this, it will cause a chain reaction, and then grain and oil may not be able to be controlled.
"Carry forward comrade, let me say a few words first!"
The person who spoke was Feng Youjun, the first vice premier, and he was an absolutely powerful figure.
"Okay, then comrade friendly forces will talk about it first!"
Premier Zhao nodded.
"From 81 to this year, it is three years, 81 years of economic growth reached 7.3, 82 years reached 7.5, this year is not over, but the economy seems to be able to exceed eight, it should be said that the effectiveness of the reform has been shown, this is gratifying, but just now Comrade Carry Forward also said, although the fiscal revenue has increased by one percent compared with last year, but the income and expenditure are almost the same as last year, that is to say, we have spent too much money this year, especially in the south, the project growth is too fast, which is also caused by steel, The reason for the sharp increase in the price of these means of production such as cement is that the control is good, and the food and clothing of the people have not risen too much, but they have also risen somewhat, for example, the average price of tobacco has risen by 30%, which is not a good signal.
Therefore, I think we should stabilize next year and keep economic growth at about five, so that we can curb prices and reassure the people. ”
Feng Youjun threw out the proposition that the economy is growing too fast and that it is necessary to be stable.
"Comrades of the friendly forces said to be steady, and indeed, prices now seem to be on the rise. ”
Zhao Hongyang nodded slightly and said.
"Lao Ren, you are in charge of Guangdong Province, this year's steel in the north is given to you and Lao Xiang's Fujian Province, and now the two special regions of the country are also in your territory, tell me what you think?"
Zhao Hongyang looked at a person, and at the same time, everyone present looked over.
This person is not young, 65 or 6 years old, his temples are gray, but he is full of spirit, he is called Ren Zhongyuan, and now he is the first secretary of Guangdong Province, and there are two special zones in Guangdong Province, Snake City and Shenzhen City, these two places are the country's experimental fields, which are of great significance to reform and opening up, and it is precisely because of the existence of these two special zones that the entire Guangdong Province is engaged in large-scale construction and is developing very rapidly.
"Okay, since Comrade Carry Forward asked me to say it, then I will say it......... Just now, the comrades of the friendly army said that they should slow down, yes, the country's prices have risen a lot this year, but in my opinion, this is not necessarily a bad thing, just like a pool of water, if it is stagnant water, then it will not move, and there will be fewer and fewer fish in it, and in the end they will all die, if you want to let these fish live, what should you do? Then we have to let the water in the pond move, keep flowing, there will be more and more fish, and finally it will become bigger, and prices will be like this, and the rise in prices just shows that the economy has been invigorated, and that reform and opening up have had an effect.
"Comrade Chongyuan, as I said just now, economic development cannot be stopped, but if it is lowered and cooled down, prices are not pond water, the people are not fish, and the people cannot have anything!"
Feng Youjun immediately retorted.
"Comrade friendly army, our country's growth rate this year has reached eight, it seems to be a little more than last year, but we have to expand our horizons, for example, Hong Kong Island, their annual growth rate has reached ten, faster than us, and then look at the island country, these two years have been slower, but it has also reached eight, and in the past few years, it has exceeded ten, and there have been two or three consecutive years to reach more than 20 growth rates, far more than us, so I think that the growth rate of our country's eight is not fast, but not enough, but faster growth. ”
Ren Zhongyuan said firmly.
That's right, your Shenzhen City and Snake City in Guangdong Province are our country's special economic zones, but they are only special economic zones, not special political zones, and the Shenzhen City has sold hundreds of millions of dollars of land, and the money has been earned, but what has been lost is the foundation of our socialist country, and the Yuan in Snake City is even more called "Boss Yuan" Last year, several high-ranking officials went to inspect the SAR and came back to tell me that there is nothing else socialist in the SAR except for the red flag, and that it is really fortunate that it has been hard for decades and will once return to the pre-liberation period! If we continue to sell like this, I think our people will not agree!"
Feng Youjun said excitedly and loudly.
"Comrades of the friendly army, don't get excited, the Special Economic Zone, we are mainly used for experiments, and we should not pay too much attention to the good and the bad now. ”
Zhao Hongyang saw that the two of them were about to quarrel, and hurriedly stood up to play a round.
"Comrade Xiang Cheng, your Fujian Province is also developing rapidly this year, let's talk about it!"
Zhao Hongyang looked at another person, this person's name was Xiang Cheng, and he was the chief official of Fujian Province.
"Okay, then I will also say that I have the same opinion as Lao Ren, economic development cannot be stopped, it must be accelerated, and we have the potential to develop faster. ”
This Xiang Cheng didn't have any polite words, and said as soon as he came up.
"Oh!
Zhao Hongyang asked.
"That is to vigorously develop the private economy, as long as we completely liberalize and put aside all the theories that are up and down, the country's economy will develop rapidly!"
"Nonsense, what nonsense!"
Before Xiang Cheng could finish speaking, Feng Youjun slapped up.
