The cause of the failure was identified, and the work of repairing the faulty unit was not troublesome. Under the guidance of the new calculation model, the scale of the high-pressure rotor balance piston in the steam turbine was adjusted, and some other problems were corrected, and the fault of the unit was finally eliminated. These follow-up things don't need Feng Xiaochen to worry about.

Xiyi's admission of its own design mistakes became the last straw that broke the camel's back. There was no room for the operation of Dingnan Province some time ago, and once things reversed, it was obviously caught off guard. The central leadership expressed his opinion on this matter, pointing out that "we should not blindly believe in foreigners." Dingnan Province did not understand the meaning, and immediately made a statement, claiming that in the early stage of the bidding for the Shating Power Plant, "a small number of cadres" had the idea of blindly worshiping the foreign and made some very wrong decisions, and the province was determined to immediately revise the bidding conditions of the Shating Power Plant, increase the terms that are favorable to domestic manufacturing enterprises, and at the same time carry out self-reliance and independent innovation awareness education among the cadres of the province to avoid the same problem from happening again.

As for the "small number of cadres" mentioned by the province, they naturally have to be represented by Wang Jinsheng, vice chairman of the Provincial Development Planning Commission. He was also self-aware, and after returning to Dongyuan from the capital, he handed in a review and a resignation report. As a hero who has the courage to take the blame, he was assigned to a policy research department to be a leader, and his rank was retained, although his power was far less than in the past, but his personal treatment was no problem.

In order to show its determination to change its past mistakes and to give an explanation to the investors of the Wulitan project, Dingnan Province organized a group of pen and pen to write a number of articles on self-criticism and determination, which were published in several major newspapers in Dingnan Province and also contacted the national media to publish them. This statement was indeed endorsed by the central authorities, and the leading comrades praised Dingnan Province's practice at several meetings, and the turmoil finally came to an end.

According to Feng Xiaochen's thoughts, the matter related to the Hezhou Power Plant should be taken out and hyped up to suppress the current domestic atmosphere of worshipping the West. However, his idea was not approved by the "relevant departments" in the end, China is still a technologically backward country, the introduction of technology is still an important national policy, for which foreign manufacturers must also give some face. Blatantly pulling out Xiyi Company and slapping it in the face will inevitably bring some negative effects on the future introduction, and the "relevant departments" cannot but consider it.

In addition, Feng Xiaochen's question of late-mover advantage is understandable as an internal exchange, which can inspire the confidence of engineering and technical personnel. But if it's hyped, it's not appropriate. The traditional philosophy of the Chinese is to make a fortune in silence, and you don't see that Japanese companies are already guarding against the rise of China's technology, which is too high-profile at this time and is easy to arouse the vigilance of others.

However, although it was not publicly publicized in the media, the incident was reported in various internal documents, and the relevant instructions of the leadership were attached. The incident of tears and slashing horses in Dingnan Province also spread widely, making some local officials who were about to make a move feel frightened. The warning issued by the leaders of the older generation that "if you fall behind, you will be beaten" can be said to be the motto of every generation of leaders. China must establish an independent industrial system, which is the common belief of several generations. In other matters, there may be room for accommodation and discussion, but there are no conditions to talk about in actively promoting the country's industrialization.

"I don't object to promoting industrialization, but what you're doing now, boss, is still a planned economy mentality, and I don't agree with it. Boss, I know that you are an official of the State Planning Commission, and you certainly don't like to listen to me, but now if you look at it, which country in the world is still engaged in a planned economy? The Soviet Union is our teacher, and we learned from them about this set of planned economy, and as a result, people turned to a market economy overnight. We are still clinging to the planned economy, isn't this going against the tide of history?"

This is in a rather high-end but somewhat low-key restaurant on Yuetan North Street, where six students from the 84th class of the Institute of Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences have gathered again. Outside the door of the restaurant, there is a sign of "Blues Coffee Academic Salon", this salon is now a famous academic meeting place in Beijing, you don't have a master's certificate in your pocket, you definitely don't dare to walk into this door.

The blues coffee salon was first estimated by these graduate students of the Strategy Institute, and the venue was a small restaurant next to the Strategy Institute. Later, Feng Xiaochen privately asked Chen Shuhan to invest some money and bought the small restaurant, which was still managed by the original proprietress Aunt Miao, and the interior was renovated, which added a lot of academic atmosphere, coupled with the discount policy for graduate students of the Academy of Social Sciences, which won the favor of graduate students.

The graduate students of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences are not in the pool, and most of them have entered the central ministries and commissions, or famous universities and scientific research institutes after graduation. With their leadership, the business of blues coffee is naturally getting better and better.

This time, the 84th class of the Institute of Strategy chose the blues coffee dinner to welcome Qi Ruicang, a student who returned from studying in the United States. What he said just now was naturally said by Qi Ruicang, who was a liberal economist before he went abroad, and studied for a doctorate at the University of Chicago, and his position was even firmer. When everyone chatted about the matter of the Shating Power Plant, Qi Ruicang frowned when he heard it, and began to criticize his former classmates for thinking wrong.

This is also the tradition of the 84th class of the Institute of Strategy, everyone believes in "classmates to classmates, academics to academics", classmate friendship is not said, but academically never compromised, what to say, even if it is refuted by others, there is nothing to be ashamed of, and even learn more from it.

The boss Qi Ruicang said naturally refers to Feng Xiaochen, and the boss is Wang Zhenbin. In his opinion, this is clearly a manifestation of the thinking of the planned economy, and even the World Bank project has to be interfered, which is really not in line with the principle of universality.

"We are not a planned economy, but a combination of a planned economy and a market economy. Within our Planning Commission, the scope of work has also been greatly adjusted, and the production of light industrial products has been completely liberalized, and heavy industrial products have also been gradually liberalized, and in two years at most, the markets for such basic raw materials as steel, cement, and chemical fiber will be liberalized.

Qi Ruicang said: "But how did you meddle in the matter of the Shating Power Plant?"

Wang Zhenbin said: "In terms of major equipment, the state has a plan and requires the gradual realization of import substitution. The introduction of 300,000 kW units and 600,000 kW units has been going on for 10 years, and we have paid a lot of tuition fees, and it is time to harvest. The Dingnan side deliberately formulated discriminatory clauses and refused to use domestically produced equipment, and of course we should take care of it. ”

"Look, isn't this back to planning thinking? People are users, whose equipment they are willing to use, that is the freedom of others, you use administrative means to intervene, and you have also eliminated a deputy director of others, how can people believe that China is engaged in a market economy?"

"Lao Qi, you are unreasonable, foreign countries also engage in state control, do you see Japan, isn't it just by relying on trade protection to develop?" Ding Shikuan interjected next to him, he is now an assistant researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and he is still studying the issue of national economic strategy, and his position on the matter of the Shating Power Plant is consistent with that of Feng Xiaochen and Wang Zhenbin.

Qi Ruicang said: "Japan is a lame country, and Europe and the United States have always been critical of Japan's industrial policy. If China wants to be in line with the rest of the world, it should not learn from Japan's system, but should learn from Europe's and the United States. ”

"Then how do you explain the Batumi agreement?" Feng Xiaochen asked with a smile.

"This ...... It's not an economic issue, it's a political one. Qi Ruicang was a little speechless, he knew that his junior brother had a clear mind, and he couldn't fool him with a few words. The Batumi Agreement, which is called a system for Western countries to join hands to guard against the Eastern bloc, is in essence aimed at blocking high and new technologies in order to delay the technological development of the Soviet Union and China. Politicians can talk nonsense with their eyes open in public, Qi Ruicang is a scholar, and he is a scholar with a conscience, plus it is in front of his classmates, it is not interesting to pretend to be such a fool.

Feng Xiaochen smiled faintly and said, "Which country chooses which system is its own business. Because China's system does not satisfy the United States, they can technologically blockade it, and in the name of guarding against the Eastern Bloc, is this in line with the rules of free trade?"

As far as I know, many politicians have already proposed that the Batumi agreement is no longer suitable for international relations in the post-Cold War era, and they are demanding its abolition. Qi Ruicang replied with some uncertainty.

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "I estimate that it will be soon, but I estimate that after the Batumi agreement is abolished, the West will definitely come up with an alternative, and it is absolutely impossible for them to sit idly by and watch China become stronger." You see, a few years ago, we began to call for a return to the GATT, but Western countries denied it in every possible way, and to put it bluntly, they did not want to see China integrate into the international economic system. ”

Qi Ruicang found the conversation, he said: "Of course, if you look at what your equipment industry company does, how can there be a little bit of free trade, it is normal for people to be uneasy." Only by shutting down your equipment industry company and allowing free competition will people consider letting us reopen the business. ”

Feng Xiaochen responded: "At that time, we will be a piece of meat on the board, to be slaughtered." If you look at those market economy countries in South America, which one is not in a debt crisis, the national industry is about to collapse across the board, and can only be reduced to the raw material supply base of the West. ”
