Chapter 692: A false alarm
Originally, Jiang Xinwei was ready to sleep well, but before seven o'clock the next day, Wen Guozhong, who had only come back in the morning, broke into the guest room and woke him up, saying that someone outside had come to pick him up, and asked him to go to the Ministry of Development and Reform immediately, and Zhang Shuxian and other leaders wanted to meet him.
Wen Guozhong's behavior was not only condemned by Shu Ziyuan, but also complained by Wen Nianshi: You don't know that he was tired for so long last night?
After eating the breakfast carefully prepared for him by Shu Ziyuan and Wen Nianshi, he took the car sent by Zhang Shuxian and left.
The car took him not to the Ministry of National Development and Reform, which he was familiar with, but to a place he did not know.
There is a heavy guard, it can really be described as three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the soldiers who are guarding are not ordinary soldiers at first glance, and some of them exude a murderous aura.
Jiang Xinwei said in his heart: "Where is this? Could there be any big man who wants to see me today? Minister Zhang Shuxian's level is already high enough, won't he be the biggest boss?"
When the guards led him into a conference room, he realized that he was not right, but he could not be entirely wrong: because the person sitting at the top was a big man who appeared on television, but not the head of state.
Seeing him, the old man asked with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, I heard that you didn't sleep until three o'clock last night?" General Wen pleaded for you again and again, saying that you should sleep a little longer. No way, we're all on time, so we have to wake you up. You're okay, right?"
Jiang Xinwei smiled embarrassedly and said, "No comment." I just wrote something nonsense last night. ”
The old man smiled: "It's okay if you have no opinions, please take a seat." ”
Zhang Shuxian stood up, waved at him and said, "Xiao Jiang, come, sit here." Then he said, "You know a lot of people here, don't you? Would you like me to introduce me?"
Soon, he briefly introduced the participants: In addition to the first of the eight people sitting in the conference room, the other seven were actually ministerial-level figures, including Zhang Shuxian, minister of national development and reform, and Lu Xiangtao, minister of posts and telecommunications, who he was familiar with, as well as ministers of foreign affairs, finance, construction, foreign trade and economic cooperation, and science and technology.
All of them are high-powered, and all of them are princes who lead one side.
Whenever Zhang Shuxian introduced the other party, and Jiang Xinwei smiled and greeted the other party and said hello, the other party replied with a joke in kind, and there was a trace of surprise and love in their eyes. Obviously, they were all stunned by Jiang Xinwei's young appearance, although they already knew that he was young and had seen his photos, but when they saw the real person, they were still shocked by his appearance as a college student.
As soon as the introduction was finished, the leader who sat in the first place asked: "Xiao Jiang, I summoned these leaders here today to solve problems for you." What do you think about the takeover ban issued by the White House the day before yesterday against your Feixun Group? Tell me what you want, and don't worry about anything. Your Feixun Group is the enterprise with the best efficiency, the strongest international competitiveness, and a great contribution to the country in our country, and we cannot tolerate her being harmed. Understood?"
Jiang Xinwei hurriedly said: "Thank you for your care. We will definitely work harder, strive to create wealth for the country, and produce more and better products. ”
After a pause, he glanced at Zhang Shuxian beside him and said: "I think the White House suddenly issued such a ban, ostensibly to protect Microsoft, but it actually sent a signal to us. ”
The old man sitting at the top nodded and said, "Go on." ”
Jiang Xinxu said: "This signal is not aimed at our Feixun Group. Of course, if our country ignores it, it may become a target for our Feixun Group, and then against high-tech enterprises including our Feixun Group and Zhonghua Software Corporation. Yes, if we don't respond to their signals, they will crack down on high-tech companies in our country. ”
Jiang Xinxu continued: "What signal did they give us? I really didn't think about it at the beginning, and I was only anxious. But yesterday Minister Wen Guozhong reminded me, and I think the signal they sent is that they hope that China will make concessions in the WTO negotiations, and that an agreement on the WTO negotiations between China and the United States will be signed at an early date......"
Before the words fell, several ministers began to discuss:
"How is that possible? They want us to speed up? We're desperate to speed it up now. ”
If it weren't for the United States' obstruction, we would have joined the WTO a long time ago. ”
"The Yankees are the most hateful, not them, we have long restored the status of the founding country of the GATT, how can we still talk about it, Lao Tzu's hair is gray. ”
"The United States wants us to join the WTO at an early date? The sun is coming out of the west, right?"
……
At this moment, the old man sitting in the first place smiled and said, "Don't doubt it. Although the signal sent by the Americans this time is not necessarily that they want us to join the WTO agreement at an early date, the United States did have the idea of hoping that we will join this organization at an early date. ”
In fact, even in the last life, the United States also hoped that China would join as soon as possible, so that they could plunder the wealth of China earlier and faster after China opened its door. At that time, President Clinton hoped that smashing open the gate of China would be his political achievement as president, so that he could be freed from the zipper door and get rid of the embarrassment caused by impeachment.
However, his actions were resolutely opposed by his political enemy, the Republican Party, and China itself was unwilling to give up the bottom line and let the United States take advantage of it in vain, so the negotiations dragged on and on, and it was not until the end of 2001 that he formally joined the WTO and became a member of the WTO.
One of the purposes of Clinton's visit to China in July 1998 was to sign the WTO negotiation agreement. Unfortunately, because the Republican Party created public opinion in the United States, saying that Clinton had surrendered to China, Clinton did not dare to sign the agreement, so he had to go to Xi'an to see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and told those ancient soldiers about his depression.
Seeing the surprised looks of several ministers, the old man said with a smile: "If this news hadn't come from the United States, would I have summoned you to a meeting here today?"
Foreign Minister Jiang Tengyun said in disbelief: "Then what is the reason? I really don't believe that the Yankees would change their stance so quickly and suddenly change from blocking to urging." Besides, isn't it too far-fetched to read from the ban they issued urging us to end the negotiations as soon as possible? ”
Several ministers nodded, not believing that such a ban would contain such a thing.
The old man looked at Jiang Xinwei and said, "Little Jiang, tell me how you interpret it." Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly. ”
