In addition to these ministers, there were many economists sitting around, including Wu He and Li Weining, who couldn't even call Einstein's name when they heard this person smile and shook their heads slightly.

Of course, they are not laughing at each other, these old people are almost seventy years old, they have been in the country all their lives, and they followed the revolution in their teens, first fighting wars and then engaging in national construction, and then going to prison, many people do not know much about the development of science and technology in the world, which is why the country wants to promote the younger cadres, because young people have knowledge, understand the development trend of the world, and can keep up with the pace of international scientific and technological development.

"Lao Xue, that's Albert Einstein, the greatest scientist in the world, if it weren't for him, our two bombs and one satellite would be empty talk, you!

Fang Zhongda said with a smile.

"Hey, I'm a seventy-year-old half-buried old man, and my eyes are spent, so it's better to be a young man! I have a lot of time to study, Liu Lang, you will be Einstein in the future, and then make a ten-bullet five-star out, and the Yankees for me!"

"Ten bullets and five stars? Good family, Lao Xue, tell me, which ten bullets and which five stars?"

Fang Zhongda laughed.

"I......... That's what I mean, there shouldn't be anything wrong with Liu Lang's level!"

The other party scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"Okay, let's not laugh, everyone knows the topic of this meeting, analyze the economic situation in the first half of this year, for Ren, you can talk about it!"

Although Fang Zhongda is now the prime minister, everyone knows that Bai Weiren is a cadre trained by the state, after all, he is only sixty-two years old, for example, Fang Zhongda is seven years younger, plus he has made great achievements in Shanghai, showing his outstanding ability.

Moreover, he went to the capital by Deng Lao, as soon as he took office, Deng Lao talked to him many times and took good care of him, so to speak, as long as he does not have any major problems in the past few years, then he will be the next prime minister.

Of course, Fang Zhongda knows this, as a long-tested old cadre, there is still a mind to cultivate successors, besides, Bai Weiren's achievements in Shanghai are obvious to all, in just three years, the Shanghai New Area has been built on a scale, many foreign companies have settled in, and also supported SMIC, a technology company with a good reputation in the world, the speed of development is so fast, the capital is dwarfed, such achievements convince everyone, and he is also very convincing as prime minister.

Of course, behind these achievements are actually Liu Lang's credit, especially SMIC, if there is no Liu Lang, it will not be possible, Shanghai New Area is also the first to be proposed by Liu Lang, if there is no Liu Lang, maybe Shanghai New Area will be established in the end, but it will definitely not be so early.

In fact, in the previous life, the establishment of the Shanghai New Area was a matter of the early nineties, and this life was advanced by five years, and the result was that Bai Weiren entered the core of the country three years ahead of schedule, and according to the current development, Bai Weiren may become the prime minister in the ninety-three years.

Because of this, Bai Weiren has a special affection for Liu Lang, not only treating him as a genius, but also treating him as his own relative, and he is also sure that Liu Lang really has the ability to change the country, and he will vigorously support Liu Lang in public and private.

Bai Weiren was not polite, and briefly summed up the economic situation in the first half of this year: GDP grew by 11 percent in the same period, more than 13 billion US dollars in foreign capital was introduced, and there were various data such as employment, investment in fixed assets, and the added value of the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries.

Liu Lang listened very carefully, he was a staff member of the Fucheng Development and Reform Department in his previous life, and he understood these figures very well, and now these figures are very accurate, unlike the inaccurate data in some places after twenty or thirty years.

The country's economic development has been on the right track, growing at a rate of about 10 percent every year, especially in the nineties, the annual growth rate has exceeded 15 percent, and this growth rate has continued for nearly 20 years, and the country's wealth has increased several times, becoming a big country in the world's attention in one fell swoop.

Half an hour later, Bai Weiren's speech ended, and all he said was "dry goods", and there was no high-minded talk, which made Liu Lang feel very down-to-earth.

"Okay, Comrade Ren's speech is concise and clear, and everyone will learn from him in their speeches in the future!"

Fang Zhongda nodded.

"The economic situation in the first half of the year is very good, especially the introduction of foreign capital, more than 13 billion US dollars, five years ago our country's foreign exchange reserves were only so much, five years have passed, such a big change has occurred, everything shows that our reform and opening up is extremely correct!"

Fang Zhongda patted the table and said.

"But we also have to see some problems, such as inflation, this year has increased by 7 percent, a bit high, our setting at the beginning of the year is to control about 6 percent, what to do in the second half of the year?

The country's inflation has been very high in the past two years, especially the year before last, when it reached 20 percent at the peak, and there was a rush to buy in the society, which was a test for the country at that time, and even Liu Lang was anxious, and was named by Zhao Hongyang to attend the meeting.

Liu Lang put forward several measures, first of all, vigorously publicizing the idea that everyone knows that the country's materials are abundant and should not blindly rush to buy, and even the state television station has set up a talk program on television, inviting all the country's economic experts to the television station to explain the dangers of blind rush to buy, and in rural areas where there is no television, the form of village committee meetings to read newspaper articles is adopted, and at that time it was indeed a national mobilization, and the crisis was eliminated within more than four months.

Then it is necessary to gradually deregulate the private economy, let them participate in the production of means of subsistence, as long as there are more products, the people will be at ease.

Of course, the reason for inflation in the final analysis is the shortage of national materials, so the state has introduced foreign enterprises through various means, not only industrial enterprises, but also food companies, clothing companies, etc., and the entry of these enterprises has greatly eased the pressure on national materials.

In the second year, the country's inflation dropped and remained at about seven or eight percent, but it was still a bit high, after all, the country's population was too large, and wages had to be consumed.

Liu Lang is still very satisfied with the country's current inflation rate, although it is also very high, but within the controllable range, there will be no problems in the society, some inflation is inevitable, as long as the country's pockets are getting bigger and bigger, the material problem can be solved.
