Chapter 696: Cold sweat broke out
Jiang Xinxu smiled and said, "Maybe." But I think that many times our leaders underestimate these companies, and always feel that they are children who can't grow up. If you want me to say, compared with people from other countries, we Chinese people are most afraid of competition. Why? Because we Chinese people are the most industrious. In addition, there is another reason that everyone knows but dare not say, that is, we Chinese people love to compare. To put it simply: I must have what others have. ”
Seeing that everyone was unimpressed, he said: "On the bad side, comparison is a kind of vanity, and it is something we should oppose. But I think it has a positive side, which is that comparison can motivate, encourage, and force everyone to work hard and struggle, so as to make sure that they are like everyone else around them. Isn't our country, our society progressing because of this? To take a simple example, buying a pager, now walking on the street, there are a few adults who don't have a pager, and many people still hang the pager on their belts outside, lest others not see it. But do you really need this thing? you really need to buy it with a few months or even half a year's salary, I don't think so. ”
After a pause, Jiang Xinwei said with a smile: "However, everyone just wants this face, and if it is useful or not, buy it first." If the pager is somewhat practical, then what is the point of gold and silver jewelry or something? However, it is precisely because people are so compared and so desperate to buy that not only we, who produce pagers, the enterprises that provide accessories for pagers, but also the merchants who buy and sell pagers, and the post and telecommunications bureaus that provide services for pagers, have made a lot of money. ”
Since the talk began, Jiang Xinwei did not stop his mouth, and continued: "Now many of us are worried that our liberalization of the service industry will impact our enterprises, such as banks, hotels, tourism, or something, but if you look at the whole world, there are nearly 140 member countries of the WTO, and the vast majority of them are developing countries and regions, but none of them have suffered from the opening of the service industry or other markets, but on the contrary, they have benefited. In fact, China has opened up the hotel industry, abundant overseas funds, advanced management mode, so that the hotel industry, hardware and software quickly in line with international standards, has been unanimously recognized at home and abroad, and increased foreign exchange earnings, employment, and improved the investment environment. ”
Jiang Xinxu said: "The supermarket we tried to open was carried out according to international standards from the beginning, and it also competed with the international large supermarkets from the beginning. Judging from the current revenue and operating situation, we are not only not worse than the international large supermarket companies, but have higher profits than them. So, let me say, let the competition come sooner, better!"
Zhang Shuxian smiled and said to everyone: "Listen, listen, our Jiang Dong is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and wants to push all of us to the forefront of the battlefield together." This kid is not afraid, but I am afraid, are you afraid?"
He was laughing and scolding on the surface, but he was actually supporting. His words were not very profound, and everyone could understand them.
The Minister of Finance looked at Zhang Shuxian and said: "However, if we sign an agreement with the United States, the first thing to bear the brunt of is to greatly reduce tariffs, not to mention that the reduction of tariffs will lead to the influx of a large number of foreign goods, which will have a great impact on our enterprises, and we should not forget one thing, that is, it will greatly reduce China's fiscal revenue." At present, we do not have enough money, and as soon as the fiscal revenue is reduced, many of the country's construction projects will not be able to be carried out. The comrade from the Ministry of Construction is also there, you can ask him if he agrees. ”
The old man who sat in the first place stopped the Ministry of Construction's speech, but said to Jiang Xinwei: "Xiao Jiang, what do you think about the drastic reduction of tariffs, and how much impact do you estimate it will have on the state finances, and will this impact be long-term or short-term? You are running around at home and abroad, as well as foreign banks, and you are more familiar with economic operation than we are. ”
Jiang Xinwei is really not familiar with this, the finances are too complicated, and it is difficult for non-professionals to explain clearly. However, he knew that in his previous life, in order to be able to join the WTO, China carried out two large-scale tariff reductions, which did not have much impact on the country's development, at least after the tariff was lowered, China was still developing, and it did not take many years to become the world's second largest economy, which shows that even if there was an impact on the reduction of tariffs at that time, this impact was short-term and could be borne by Huaxia.
So, he said, "Then I'll get an axe in the class." Personally, I believe that the impact of a drastic reduction in tariffs will be short-term and bearable. On the surface, if we lower tariffs, our fiscal revenue will decrease, but on the other hand, isn't there still an argument that small profits are quick but quick turnover? Foreign products are just flocking to foreign products, and the total amount of goods subject to taxation increases by a large margin, and fiscal revenue does not necessarily decrease. ”
Jiang Xinwei continued: "Foreign goods are levied a tax at the customs, and if these goods enter the sales link, the state will also levy a tax, and after the enterprise that sells foreign goods sells the goods, the state will also collect a corporate income tax, and the boss will also pay a personal income tax. ”
Obviously, Jiang Xinwei's words and reasoning are very superficial, he is just using the results of his previous life to summarize the reasons for this life, but who can say that what he said is unreasonable?
Even the Minister of Finance is not easy to refute for a while, after all, he can't get the data now, and there is no data model to support his refutation.
The old man who sat in the first place asked with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, it seems that you are a radical." Do you hope that we can take advantage of Clinton's desire for re-election to sign an agreement between the two countries?"
Remembering the last life when the two countries were constantly tossing and turning, breaking the expectation that they would sign each contract, and pushing back the time day by day until the end of 2001, he said: "I do think that the sooner the better." As long as we sign the agreement, we don't have to wait for the favored-nation handouts of the Yankees every year, and we don't need to wait for the other side to approve this quota and that quota, and we can confidently sell our products to the United States and other countries. ”
The old man smiled, didn't speak, just glanced at Zhang Shuxian.
Zhang Shuxian was stunned for a moment, but then understood something, and said to Jiang Xinwei: "Little Jiang, but have you thought of it?" Now that you know that the ban issued by the United States to prevent you from buying shares of Microsoft Corporation is a message to us, if we receive this message and immediately lower the tariffs and make a compromise immediately, what will the Americans think? What will people in the rest of the world think? What will our own people think?"
When Jiang Xinwei heard this, cold sweat immediately came out on his back, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." ”
