From the day Yang Weiping listed rare earths as an important strategic resource of the country, he was mentally prepared to give away some of his benefits to the country.

In the three major rare earth mining areas of Baiyun Bo'e, Liangshan and Ganzhou, Tiangong Group only has the exclusive right to mine, but no land ownership.

At the beginning, Yang Weiping spent money to occupy these three major mining areas, and Yang Weiping never thought of digging up rare earths and reselling them abroad to make money. But this does not mean that the state can arbitrarily take away his private wealth from him.

promised Qian Lao, but Yang Weiping released a signal to the boss that it can be discussed!

As for how to talk about it, it depends on whether the above is really sincere.

With the official hat of the mayor of Sansha City, he wants to take away 11% of the shares of each of the three major smelting bases, which is too underestimated.

Yang Weiping can basically conclude that Zhao Dongyang, the newly appointed vice premier of the State Council, wants to use him to establish authority, but also does not want to provoke him too much and thus backfire.

Sending Yang Weiping to Sansha City as the mayor, from the perspective of interest exchange, whether it is the No. 1 chief, or Ye Jianxiong and other old commanders, if they really want to train Yang Weiping as a successor, they will definitely agree to Zhao Dongyang's proposal.

Sansha City is far away from the mainland, which naturally keeps Yang Weiping away from the domestic circle of right and wrong. Let Yang Weiping sit in Sansha City, in case something happens in the South China Sea, his private aircraft carrier fleet will not be idle. He handled the territorial boundary disputes with the countries surrounding the South China Sea in his private capacity, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could shirk its responsibilities at any time.

If this really happens, it will be equivalent to the state requisitioning his private fleet without compensation. In disguise, the combat effectiveness of the South China Sea Fleet has been enriched.

At present, many people in China believe that the decision of the Central Committee to remove Yang Weiping from his post as chairman of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense has many opinions, and some people in the military have even explicitly pointed out that this is a decision to unload a mill and kill a donkey to cross a river and dismantle a bridge, which makes people feel chilling. Vice Premier Zhao, regardless of his previous suspicions, tried his best to override public opinion and demanded that the central government appoint Yang Weiping as mayor of Sansha City, the fourth municipality directly under the central government in China, which not only could silence everyone's mouths, but also made people feel that Vice Premier Zhao was broad-minded and did not link the cause of death of his nephew Zhao Xiangdong, who was an educated youth in Luojiayu, with Yang Weiping at all.

The appointment of Yang Weiping as mayor of Sansha City is an affirmation of Yang Weiping's work ability by the central authorities. It is necessary to arrange capable cadres to work posts that need him more.

Arguably. Vice Premier Zhao played this hand and took all aspects into account. And this hand must have been bigger than the expectations of Chief No. 1 and Ye Jianxiong and others.

Yang Weiping had just retired from the post of director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and it was not long before he was assigned to serve as mayor of a municipality directly under the central government. I don't dare to think about it.

Gotta get money after the old messenger this news. Yang Weiping couldn't sit still.

That same evening. Yang Weiping once again came to the Xinghua Hutong courtyard where the No. 1 chief lived.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Chief No. 1 returned home from his state affairs.

Seeing Yang Weiping chatting with his eldest son in the living room, Chief No. 1 was obviously a little surprised. Half-jokingly and half-seriously, he smiled: "I thought you wouldn't come to my house anymore and didn't recognize me as a godfather!"

"How can it, grandpa, I don't want to cause trouble to your old man!" Yang Weiping salivated with a smile on his face, strode to the No. 1 chief, and helped the old man to sit down on the sofa, "I don't want others to say that I deliberately pestered your old man to ask for an official hat." ”

"Alas, being my godgrandson, not only did it not bring you any benefits, but it made you suffer a lot of grievances because of me. Elder No. 1's eyes were full of kindness, and he sighed and said, "Wei Ping, my old man can't stand you. ”

"Grandpa, look at what you said all the time. Yang Weiping hurriedly answered with an apologetic face: "As your old grandson, I can't share your worries and solve problems, and I am already a grandson." Now it's criticizing, making it difficult for you to be an old man, and I'm guilty of a hundred deaths!"

"The lifeblood of a country cannot be in the hands of an individual. The No. 1 chief said earnestly: "Your Tiangong Group has made great moves in China over the years, cross-industry and cross-field, and has a faint trend that can influence the direction of the country's economy." Although reform is to cross the river by feeling the stones, the step is too big, and it will inevitably arouse the worries and fears of others. ”

Yang Weiping knew very well in his heart that what Chief No. 1 said was not an exaggeration. He also knew that during the period when he retired from the post of director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, the Central Committee was indeed disturbing.

Because, once Tiangong Group decides to withdraw its investment from the mainland of China, the chain reaction triggered will definitely cause a great sensation in the world and bring an extremely negative impact to China.

In another person, maybe this idea will really occur. However, Yang Weiping will not, absolutely not!

"Grandpa, it's actually those people who are too careful. Yang Weiping said with a solemn face: "I don't care whether others believe it or not, but I know that compared with the interests of the state, no matter how great the sacrifice of personal interests is, he must give in! Whether he is willing or not, he must obey! No matter when and where, I, Yang Weiping, will never do anything that harms the interests of the state and the nation!"

"Our party members and cadres should be able to withstand all kinds of tests imposed on him by the party and the state at all times. The No. 1 leader nodded with relief in his eyes and smiled: "I have seen your performance during this time, and I am very satisfied." Let me tell you the truth, do you know why the central government will increase contact with the Japanese government?"

"I'm worried that I'll let Tiangong Group fully withdraw its investment. Yang Weiping replied thoughtfully: "Carrying out comprehensive cooperation with a national government is more comprehensive and more secure than cooperating with a certain private business group." ”

"You can't all put all your eggs in the same basket. The No. 1 leader nodded and said: "National affairs cannot be pinned on the basis of trust in a single force. There must be a backhand in everything. ”

"I understand, but I don't accept it. Yang Weiping said: "I can support other countries, but little devil, no!"

"I also went through eight years of resistance. Chief No. 1 said solemnly: "If you want to talk about hatred for Japanese devils, my old man is more profound than you young people! However, the current Japanese government is not the militarist government of the past. Everything should be viewed from the perspective of development, and a good-neighborly and friendly Sino-Japanese relationship is beneficial to promoting the economic development of China and Japan!"

"No matter how the world develops and changes, the little devil's heart will not change!" Yang Weiping said in a categorical manner: "They are not capable of launching military aggression now, but they will erode us through culture and economy! Therefore, we must be vigilant enough against the little devils at all times, and we must not open the slightest opening in the economic and cultural markets! We must start from now on to boycott Japanese products in an all-round way!"

"It's not as serious as you say, is it?" Chief No. 1 smiled and said, "I know that your grandfather died on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and you have a grudge against the Japanese, I can understand it." ”

"Grandpa, this has nothing to do with my personal hatred. Yang Weiping said solemnly: "Since the end of World War II, Japan's entire nation has reunited, and through more than 30 years of development, its economic growth rate is the highest in the world! Now even the US Government has begun to be wary of them.

The market share of Japanese-made electronic products, automobiles, and motorcycles has surpassed that of the United States. When they have a strong enough economic foundation to rely on, they will definitely go all out to develop the military and rebuild the national army in order to wash away the shame of the defeated countries in World War II!

In order to ensure the integrity of the first island chain in the Pacific, the US Government needs Japan, a watchdog, to become stronger, so I can guarantee that the US Government will turn a blind eye to Japan's increase in military spending and the development of its armed forces. Once the little devils re-develop their navy, it will inevitably pose a powerful threat to our country!"

"Your worries are not unreasonable. The No. 1 leader nodded and said: "Between countries, there are only eternal interests, and there is no eternal friendship. Don't look at the fact that we are very close to the US government now, but the US government is still extremely strict in blocking their high-end military technology. ”

"Grandpa, you old man must not expect to be able to obtain the high-end skills of the US Navy through Japan!" Yang Weiping said solemnly: "The little devils guard against us, and they guard us more strictly than the Americans! I still say the same thing, it is not impossible to open up China's market to Japan, and the premise is that they will pay off all the war reparations payable to China!"

"I want the World War II reparations, too!" Chief No. 1 sighed and said: "It's just that Taizu and the prime minister said that they didn't want the Japanese government to pay compensation for this matter, and if we bring it up again now, we will have to bear a great political risk." The two incidents have just passed, don't think about this matter for now, let's talk about it later!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect to get it. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently: "However, grandpa, there is no need to talk about cooperation with the little devil." What kind of techniques can the little devil provide, Tiangong Laboratory can still provide it, how much money can the little devil introduce, Tiangong Group will pay double!"

"The central government wants to take back the controlling stake in the three major rare earth smelting bases of Baiyun Bo'e, Liangshan, and Ganzhou, are you willing to do so?" said the No. 1 chief, smiling like an old fox.

"As long as the central government promises not to export rare earths to Japan, and not to engage in any form of commercial or technical cooperation with the Japanese government and Japanese businessmen, I will transfer all the equity of these three smelting bases to the state!" Yang Weiping said very seriously.

"The state will not treat you badly. The No. 1 leader nodded and smiled: "When you persuaded me not to cooperate with Japanese iron and steel companies to establish a large-scale iron and steel complex in Baoshan, Shanghai, I knew that you little guy had prejudices against the Japanese. Okay, listen to you, it is still very necessary to prevent the re-emergence of Japanese militarism.

However, the Japanese government has promised to invest $3 billion in the establishment of large-scale automobile and motorcycle factories in our country, and you have to find a way to fill this vacancy for my old man. ”

"No problem!" Yang Weiping nodded without hesitation and replied: "What the little devil can do, I guarantee that Tiangong Group can do it!"

"Wei Ping, Comrade Dongyang nominated you to be the mayor of Sansha City, what do you think about this?" (To be continued......)
