February 21. "The Crisis of the Triangular Debt" written by Sioux City was published in the Economic Daily. Because it is a hot event, it is close to current politics and has the background of Dahua Industrial. This article appeared in the second edition.

Immediately afterwards, several articles written by the pen and reviewed by Sioux City appeared in several national newspapers and magazines, completely detonating the topic of "triangular debt".

In just a few days, the articles about the triangular debt snowflakes into the major media outlets.

Before the State Council's mapping is over, no one really knows how serious the problem of triangular debt is. Different people stand on different positions and are in different regional environments, so they will have different understandings.

The more oriented the enterprise, the more upstream the factory, the worse the debt situation, such as coal, steel, machinery manufacturing and other industries, without debt collection Chapter 235 controversy, can not pay wages, naturally feel that the triangular debt is hateful and terrible. The more oriented to the end user, in the downstream enterprises, the easier the debt problem, such as home appliances, foreign trade, transportation, electric power and other enterprises, often they owe the supplier money, not only abundant cash flow, but also a lot of hidden income, so it is difficult to feel the danger of triangular debt, and even secretly happy.

Focusing on local areas, where there are many heavy industries and raw material enterprises, the problem of triangular debt is serious, and in areas with developed light industry and commerce, the problem of triangular debt is easy. State-funded personnel in the non-productive sectors, such as the military and the administration, feel the power of cash on hand.

The feelings of all parties are different, and there is a debate between the media.

The opponents are not limited to Tong Dalin and Mayor Zhou. There are many high-level executives who feel relaxed and feel relaxed all over the country. Up to the State Department. Down to the towns and counties, there were people who kept publishing signed articles attacking Sioux City and other "crisis theorists."

These articles are either refuted or relieved, and among them, a certain leader of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation has the most marketable formulation: "I believe that the state can solve the triangular debt problem" once made an uproar and went straight to the clouds.

Even Qin Yun privately felt that no matter how serious the triangular debt problem was, as long as the state came forward, the debate in Chapter 235 would definitely be dealt with.

In this regard, Su Cheng could only smile bitterly. Any regime has economic problems that cannot be dealt with. With China's current family background. If we want to deal with triangular debts, we have to lend unchecked by banks, which not only recreates inflation, but also bears more bad and bad debts. The worst part. In 1990, China had already entered the channel of deflation, which meant that if it wanted to peacefully solve the problem of triangular debt, it would have to bear the consequences of returning to the economy of 1989.

This is naturally impossible. The economy, which was close to collapse or had collapsed in 1989, was eventually paid for by the whole society, and the triangular debt problem became even more serious. It's just that the company pays for it.

Therefore, a peaceful solution to the triangular debt problem is not impossible, but the cost is even higher than the explosion. The end result is only about how much is lost.

Sioux City felt that two months ahead of schedule would trigger a triangular debt debate. Maybe it can save some people with a heart. As for those with deep feet of mud, it is not something he can influence.

Just after March, the weather was warm and cool.

Qi Meng and the others returned to the capital in the dust. After three months of continuous visits, more than a dozen research teams completed the mapping work, gathered in a room, began to report work, and gathered conclusions.

At this gathering, everyone's faces changed.

The seriousness of the situation was beyond everyone's expectations.

Each of them researched one province to two provinces, and went to the following districts and counties. As well as the in-depth investigation of large state-owned factories, the report is also in the region. In the case of information is not so smooth, it is not easy to communicate with each other, so even if the research team comes to a bad conclusion. I would also take comfort in private that the area we surveyed may be the most severe.

Now. Everyone's reports were released, and after a simple mutual corroboration, everyone realized that the original problem was not the most serious in the place where we investigated.

In other words, the problems in each place are extremely serious.

People who have just returned from a business trip want to report it and go back to take a shower and sleep. But after looking at the data from various places, the director spoke: "Yes, don't rest, let's have a meeting." ”

For two consecutive days, three meetings were held. The first day was still a member of the Commission for the Reform of the System, and then it included the State Council and the National Development and Reform Commission, and then added relevant ministries and commissions.

The information was quickly reported to the above, and the specifications of the meeting were held higher and higher, and the time was longer and longer, and finally it went to the Standing Committee.

At this time, the discussion between the media continued, and the number of participants did not seem to decrease, but the level of participants dropped by one notch.

Comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Institute of Policy Studies, and the State Council, who had previously published signed articles, never appeared again. Even those who have the right arguments don't speak out anymore.

Anyone who knows the inside story knows that the controversy has been settled, and all that remains is how to deal with the actual situation. At this time, the opponents did not dare to speak, and the proponents did not want to be involved in the situation - if they were sent to deal with the triangular debt, maybe good things would turn bad. It's a crater business.

The tone in the center weakened, and it did not immediately spread to the localities.

Only a few people who are sensitive to policy and familiar with high-level trends can find out what is not written in the newspapers.

This naturally does not include Mayor Zhou and his cronies Tong Dalin.

Both of them are "young cadres" who have come from the years of the movement. When he was in the Revolutionary Committee, he was good at defeating clever tactics with crude means. After more than ten years of training, the two are now much more political, but they still can't help but use too much force.

Mayor Zhou went into battle shirtless a few days ago and published an article in the "Popular Daily", not to mention Tong Dalin, who borrowed a room of people to write articles for him, wrote one article and sent one article, in just half a month, let alone published 10 manuscripts, which is almost the same as serialization.

There are two of them who take the big banner, and below the Jinan Municipal Government and local state-owned enterprises, there is no one who says "triangular debt crisis". However, some state-owned enterprises that are not within the jurisdiction of the local government, such as Shengli Oilfield or Dahua Industrial, will frequently show up and express themselves wantonly.

Mayor Zhou was helpless against Shengli Oilfield, and Lin Yonggui's administrative level was higher than him. However, he was very dissatisfied with Sioux City's disobedience.

Dissatisfaction was brewing, and in mid-March, it finally erupted - Mayor Zhou's article was rejected by the Economic Daily.

The Economic Daily is a major newspaper of the central government, and its position in the economic field is transcendent, and it is the bridgehead and fortress of China's mainstream economic research. Mayor Zhou's article was rejected, and it is not surprising that it is placed at any time. The problem lies in the first article in Sioux City, which was published in the Economic Daily, and it was a relatively conspicuous second page.

The stark contrast made Mayor Zhou almost annoyed. He was full of confidence in this article, and he felt that it was not too much to put his heart and soul into it, and he didn't even make it to the end of the report. The idea of "someone is getting in the way" filled his mind for the first time.

"Go and get Sioux City, I'm going to ask him for clarity. Mayor Zhou took two deep breaths before exhaling the stuffiness in his chest.

The secretary went out to make a phone call, but did not find anyone, and personally ran Dahua Industrial again, but did not find Su Cheng.

Tong Dalin volunteered to drive to Dahua Industrial to find out Sucheng, and after a day of tossing, he still failed to do so.

He repaid Mayor Zhou, which made the latter feel a lot better.

Mayor Zhou said to himself: "This guy may be hiding." I thought he was a monkey and wanted to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace. ”

Tong Dalin was brave and said: "If you want me to say, let's throw a few fines on Dahua Industrial, and we can blow him up immediately." If he doesn't come out, we will throw a fine of 100,000 yuan a day to him, no matter what the company, he will have to kneel down in a week. ”

"This is not good, other enterprises, you can fine, if you inexplicably fine Dahua Industrial, the oil company and other central enterprises are going to come to find trouble, you can't give people a handle, in this way, you wait for the opportunity, in addition, and then find a national newspaper to publish articles, I don't believe that he can buy all the media." Mayor Zhou made up his mind, sat back in his chair, took out his article again, threw it to Tong Dalin and said, "This article, you can find a way to find a national newspaper and send it out." ”

"Okay, I'll find a way, Mayor Zhou's article must be fine. "Tong Dalin is an athlete of the wild road, and he knows a lot of people who are three religions and nine streams, and what he can't do in normal ways, he can always do it in abnormal ways. Let him be the director of the enterprise bureau in order to deal with private enterprises and state-owned enterprises that do not take the right path.

Tong Dalin went out with great interest and tried to find a way.

Within two days, he found an old relationship and used money to dredge the layout of a "Guangming Daily", although it was a bit stumbling on the sixth page, but it was better than nothing.

Tong Dalin stayed in the gatehouse, waiting for the "Guangming Daily" to be delivered, and when he looked at the place, he happily went to find Mayor Zhou.

The mayor also thinks that it is not easy to publish an article in the central newspaper these days. The normal big newspaper is 8 pages, and the smaller ones have 4 pages, and the advertisements in the middle seams are removed, and the rest of the pages really have to be carefully calculated.

There are only 8 state-level central newspapers, including the overseas edition of China Daily. The total number of pages is only 64, and Mayor Zhou's signed article "Triangle Debt is Not Afraid" accounts for a quarter of the page, spread across the country, which is quite remarkable.

Mayor Zhou spread out the newspaper on the desk, and re-read it with self-appreciation, the more he read, the more flavorful it became.

Just as he was about to say a few words of evaluation, Tong Dalin suddenly rubbed his eyes, pointed down and said, "Isn't that Su Cheng?"

"Hmm, which one?" Mayor Zhou's office is located on the third floor, and it happens to have a panoramic view of the gate, so no matter who enters, you can see it clearly. Following the direction of Tong Dalin's finger, you can see two young people of the same age, both wearing thick tweed coats and shrinking their heads.

"The one on the left, I'll pick you up. Tong Dalin rolled up his sleeves and ran out violently.
