Chapter 902: It's You
"It's really ruthless, calling people from Africa to the country, and in less than a minute, Dalong and Yonglin's father were taken away...... The water in Africa is too deep, you must be careful!"
This is Zhou Liqiang, who has returned from Africa, telling his friends about the scene of that day, even though he has said it hundreds of times on different occasions, the horror in his tone is enough to affect the audience around him.
That day, when Tao Jialong came out of the back room after making a phone call, he found that there were already several more people wearing Chinese police uniforms in the living room, and the master Xiong Hua, who had followed Feng Xiaochen before, was the person in charge of this team of police. Luo Yonglin and Zhou Liqiang have been controlled, and the driver of Longfei Company is also standing aside, and later everyone learned that he had already been caught, and he shook everything he knew about Longfei Company.
Tao Jialong remembered his Uncle Zhang's advice at the last moment, tied his hands, and was escorted back to China.
As Feng Xiaochen said before, Tao Jialong and his entourage were asked to confess what they had done in Africa, and publicly confessed their guilt on television, warning others not to follow in their footsteps, to obey the state's arrangements, and not to engage in unfair competition.
Tao Jialong and Luo Yonglin's father were both taken away by the relevant departments, and after investigation, they were suspected of various corruption crimes, and finally they were duly punished. On the issue of Africa, the conclusion given by the organization is only that "the requirements for children are not strict", but people in the system say that they fell precisely because they undermined the country's Africa strategy. More insiders said that if their children hadn't had a hard fight with a president of an association named Feng Xiaochen, maybe they wouldn't have been so ruthless.
Tao Jialong and Luo Yonglin were sentenced for bribery abroad. Zhou Liqiang was less culpable and was exempted from prosecution. In fact, it was Feng Xiaochen's idea to release Zhou Liqiang, the purpose was to let him tell others about the events at that time as a witness to the scene, so as to achieve Feng Xiaochen's strategy of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys in advance.
For the rest of the people who are ready to move to converge, it needs to have a powerful story that makes them feel fear deep in their souls. Feng Xiaochen asked the domestic personnel to wait downstairs at the Tao family and the Luo family in advance, and only waited for him to smash the cup at the same time, the purpose was to create this kind of terrifying feeling. And this feeling needs to be told by a character like Zhou Liqiang.
This story quickly spread in the circle of the second ancestor across the country, and some people hid the names of some specific characters in this story and spread it on the Internet, making it known to the world. Officials and entrepreneurs throughout the country, who have children or relatives doing business overseas, must repeatedly exhort these people not to do things that harm the interests of the state.
After cleaning up Longfei's company, Feng Xiaochen also returned to China, and a new appointment was waiting for him.
"Secretary-General of the Secretariat of the Office of the Leading Group for Responding to the New Situation of International Trade......
Feng Xiaochen couldn't help but smile dumbly as he read his new title. China's "leading groups" and "associations" are of the same nature, and their names sound prosaic, but in fact their powers are unimaginably large. He knew for a long time that the leading group was headed by the head himself, and that the leaders of the relevant ministries and commissions were only members of the group. The responsibility of the leading group is to formulate major policies, and the specific day-to-day work is the responsibility of the office of the group, and the person in charge of the office is the secretary general of the secretariat. As for the level, hehe, it's not enough for outsiders.
The so-called "new situation of international trade" actually refers to the Sino-US trade war that just started at the beginning of the year, but it is inconvenient to say this directly in official documents.
As Feng Xiaochen expected, Maple defeated his opponent by a strong margin in the U.S. election and was elected as the new president. At the beginning of his presidency, Maple raised the issue of international trade, claiming that the United States has suffered greatly from the international trade order in the past few decades, and its annual trade deficit is as high as hundreds of billions of dollars, which has hollowed out the United States' domestic funds, caused the United States manufacturing to lose its competitiveness, and also caused a large number of unemployment among American workers.
Mapp has called for a revival of U.S. manufacturing, an unreasonable U.S. trade deficit, and a trade war against many countries around the world, including China. According to Map, the U.S.-China trade deficit is $300 billion a year, which stems from the irrational trade relationship between the United States and China. He accused China of subsidizing companies, undervaluing its own currency, and dumping goods, and demanded that China change all of these policies or impose steep tariffs on imports from China.
Many of China's foreign trade enterprises have felt a serious crisis, and the country has also taken precautions and launched a series of response plans. The establishment of the "Leading Group for Responding to the New Situation of International Trade" is to coordinate the actions of various departments and regions in response to the Sino-US trade war, so as to avoid being overwhelmed by opponents.
"Why me? This work is a big responsibility, and my qualifications are too young to bear it. ”
Feng Xiaochen said to Han Hong, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, who came to talk to him.
"The leader said, this matter belongs to you. Han Hong said with a smile.
"However, I have just served as the president of the China-Africa Industrial Technology Cooperation Association, and my ass is not yet hot. Feng Xiaochen also said with a smile. He knew that when it came to the appointment at this level, the leader must have been carefully considered, and he could not refuse. He said that his qualifications were too shallow, but it was just a necessary modesty.
Han Hong said: "This president, you should continue to do both." However, the specific work can be done by other comrades. Everyone said that with you sitting in the association, you don't need to do anything, it can play a deterrent role. ”
"Why do I think they're talking about the door gods?" Feng Xiaochen teased himself.
Han Hong said: "You do have a bit of a bad spirit like Wei Chi Jingde, and it is quite suitable to be a door god." This time, the leader named you to be the secretary general of the office, which is to take a fancy to your evil spirit. The Sino-US trade war is a big test for our country, and it cannot be taken lightly. At home and abroad, there are some little ghosts who want to take the opportunity to make trouble, and at this time, the country needs you, the door god, to shake the ghosts. ”
"Well, I must live up to the high expectations of the leader and be a good door god. Feng Xiaochen said.
Han Hong said: "Since taking office, Mepp has done everything he can, and many times he doesn't even talk about the minimum international rules, which makes it difficult to guess what his next move will be." Because of this, our work is a bit passive now, and we are often fully prepared, but he suddenly jumps to another battlefield and catches us off guard. ”
Feng Xiaochen said: "This is Meipu's strategy, so that the opponent can't figure out his routine, so that he can surprise and get benefits." However, it is a bit too childish to engage in such a small trick between major countries. In fact, the rules between major powers are formed after thousands of collisions, and no one can easily abandon them. In such a wayward way, he will ultimately damage the credibility of the United States. Since there is no guarantee of doing business with the Americans, then everyone will stay away, and I would like to see if the United States can develop independently from the entire international market. ”
Han Hong nodded approvingly and said, "I think the same way. Meipu's methods made people feel a little difficult to deal with at first, but after a long time, it can be seen that they are actually just a few tricks. As long as we stabilize our position, no matter how much he jumps, he can't help us. ”
"That's exactly what I intended. Feng Xiaochen said, "Since the organization has appointed me as the secretary general of the response office, I think I will go around the country in the next step, mainly to calm people's hearts, so that everyone will not be confused by Meipu's methods and not follow his rhythm." However, we are now a big business, and there are so many enterprises in various industries in various places, and it is not easy for all enterprises to follow the path drawn by the central government. ”
Han Hong said: "This point, the leadership has already explained, all ministries and commissions, including our National Development and Reform Commission, must obey the arrangements of the response office, that is, obey the arrangements of your Secretary General Feng Da." If you have any ideas, just let them go and do it, don't have any mental baggage. ”
"Thank you for your trust and I will do my best. Feng Xiaochen said.
At this moment, in Detroit, an industrial city in the United States on the other side of the ocean, the newly elected President Maple, accompanied by a group of officials and reporters, walked into the old construction machinery company Haifei.
"I have known Haifei since I was a child, you are a great company, and the United States has become a great country because of a great company like yours. In the past few decades, a large number of American companies have disappeared due to the mediocrity of politicians, which has reduced the United States to a second-rate industrial country, which is intolerable. Now that I'm here, I'm going to make America great again. ”
Mape waved his hand and made boundless comments. He knows a thing or two about propaganda, and at no time does he forget to brag about himself and belittle his predecessor. The people who followed him were used to his style, and they didn't care so much about what he said.
"President, Haifei is currently facing very big difficulties. Our market share is less than 1/4 compared to our peak. Last year, we lost $4 billion, and this year we expect to lose more than that. Without the support of the government, I think it will be difficult for Haifei to survive this year. ”
It was Regin, the president of Haifei, who spoke. He has little interest in the grand goal of making America great again, he only cares about whether the government can provide some subsidies to Haifei, and it would be better if some countries could be forced to accept Haifei's products in the name of the government.
