Chapter 342: Economic Symposium
November 20, 2007, sunny, Beijing.
Lin Feng rarely wore a formal black suit today, and Ye Weiyu specially chose a crimson polka dot tie for him, which not only looked solemn and calm, but also lively and joyful, which was very in line with his current identity and age.
According to the notified time, at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, a black red flag HQ3 came to the downstairs of Fengxing Building on time, responsible for picking up Lin Feng and going to Ouchi.
Although Hongqi cars have almost disappeared in the mass market in the past two years, as a domestic automobile brand with a glorious history, Hongqi, the first domestic luxury car of its own brand launched last year, is still favored by the official.
The license plate that came to pick up Lin Feng is a red flag at the beginning of Beijing V02, and the front windshield is placed with special car licenses and passes such as "National A", "Security", "Jingxi", "Guard", etc., which looks very tall at a glance......
Lin Feng was picked up by a man in his early 30s, who called himself "Secretary Liu" and was a staff member of the first brother's office.
Lin Feng was a little surprised, but he also shook hands with him warmly.
It's a little honor, how many people are there in the first brother's office, and he actually sent someone to pick him up!
Later, Lin Feng realized that he had thought too much, and the number of people at this forum in the business circles was not too large, mainly responsible persons of large state-owned enterprises such as petroleum, iron and steel, automobiles, and ships, as well as representatives of joint-stock and non-public enterprises such as food, telecommunications, finance, and real estate.
Lin Feng is the only one in the Internet field.
Everyone else had entered the Ouchi many times to participate in similar symposiums, but Lin Feng was a newcomer for the first time, so there was a special staff from the secretary's office to pick him up and explain to him in advance some arrangements and matters that need attention after entering the Ouchi.
Hongqi drove all the way on Chang'an Street, and after passing Tiananmen Square, it did not enter directly from Xinhua Gate, but continued to move forward, turned right into Fuyou Street, and then went around to Wenjin Street behind, and entered Da Nei from the north gate.
After the routine inspection, Lin Feng was led by the staff through the corridor to the location of this symposium, the first conference room of the national government.
The first meeting room of the national government is often featured in the news, and it is also the place where the first brother usually holds executive meetings, and at the same time, it is often used to hold symposiums and lectures.
Walking into the conference room, behind the oval desk, the huge "Layers of Mountains and Emeralds" on the wall is very eye-catching, which was created by Lu Heng and his father Lu Yanshao, and Lu Yanshao was a master of landscape painting in the Chinese painting circle at the end of the 20th century.
In addition to the fact that the first brother hopes to exchange and discuss with them on the current economic situation, the main topic today, and the more important topic, is to solicit the opinions of people from the business circles on the "Government Work Report" (draft for solicitation of comments) that will be submitted to the first session of the 11 th National People's Congress for deliberation.
Brother Yi hopes that these representatives of domestic enterprises in various industries can talk about their views on the government work report and planning outline in light of the economic situation and enterprise development.
At the end of the year or the beginning of the year, the first brother will invite representatives of all social strata, including responsible persons of the central committees of the democratic parties, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, personages without party affiliation, experts and scholars in the economic, social, and natural sciences fields, representatives of the scientific, technological, educational, health, cultural, and sports circles, representatives of the business community, and representatives of the grassroots masses such as workers and peasants, to hold similar forums.
On the one hand, we listen to the opinions on the government work report, and on the other hand, we also conduct research to understand the demands and difficulties faced by all strata and solve problems.
Approaching the end of the year, the symposium held at this point in time is also a critical moment to do a good job in the "end" of this year's work and lay the foundation for a good start next year. There is usually a possibility of a phased summary and the introduction of important deployments.
In particular, next year will be a critical period for the expiration of this government, so the issues discussed will not be limited to this year and next year, but will be discussed in the past five years and the next five years......
Lin Feng thought, maybe this is why he had the opportunity to participate in the meeting.
After all, the speed of development of the Internet in the past two years is amazing, and it may not occupy a large proportion of the economic field now or next year, but according to this development speed, it will be considerable in another five years.
Lin Feng saw at a glance that many of the participants were also acquaintances, such as Wang Jianzhou, chairman of China Mobile, Fu Chengyu, chairman of CNOOC, Zhu Yanfeng, chairman of FAW Group, Xu Lejiang, chairman of Baosteel Group, etc., and private enterprises include Wang Shi of Vanke, Liu Yonghao, chairman of New Hope Group, and Yang Yuanqing of Lenovo.
Seeing that there were a lot of people he knew, Lin Feng's anxiety calmed down a little, greeted them a few words, and then sat down on the seat with his name tag.
This position is very good, the fourth position on the left hand of the oval conference table, with Wang Shi sitting on one side and Yang Yuanqing on the other.
Lao Wang Jianghu has a high status and high qualifications, and he is about the same age as Lao Liu. Lin Feng is not very familiar.
has a better relationship with Yang Yuanqing.
Lin Feng chatted with Yang Yuanqing while looking forward to the official start of the symposium.
This is also a very good learning opportunity for him to listen to and think about the situation of economic development from the national level, improve his vision and thinking height, and it is also a rare opportunity for Lin Feng to make suggestions to senior leaders and express some opinions and views on the Internet and the future information industry.
You know, the reason why this kind of symposium is held in a large conference room like Conference Room 1 is not only attended by these business representatives sitting at the oval conference table.
At the conference table behind both sides, there are also the main leaders of various ministries and commissions under the national government, who can consult and answer the questions raised by various industries at any time.
This opportunity for exchange is extremely rare and precious.
When the first brother of the national government walked into the conference room with a smile on his face, everyone stood up and applauded warmly.
Lin Feng was also excited in his heart, and applauded vigorously with everyone.
The 10 years of his tenure were also a golden decade of rapid economic growth for China.
"This is the best of times", Lin Feng has been saying this sentence to the outside world.
The first decade of the rapid development of the Internet was also during his tenure.
Although this is a general trend of historical development, policy support and encouragement are also factors that cannot be ignored.
"I invite you to come today, I want to hear your opinions......" Sitting at the top of the elliptical conference table, behind it is the huge painting of "Layers of Mountains and Emeralds", a brother said with a gentle smile.
Lin Feng lowered his head and looked at the work report (draft for comments) sent down, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Over the past five years:
The economy has reached a new level. In 2007, China's GDP reached 24.66 trillion yuan, an increase of 65.5 percent over 2002 and an average annual growth rate of 10.6 percent, rising from sixth to fourth place in the world, the country's fiscal revenue reached 5.13 trillion yuan, an increase of 1.71 times, and foreign exchange reserves exceeded $1.52 trillion.
The abolition of agricultural taxes put an end to the history of peasants paying taxes for farming. The country's grain output has increased for four consecutive years, reaching 501.5 million tons in 2007.
Major strides have been made in the reform of state-owned enterprises, finance, finance and taxation, foreign trade and economic cooperation, and administrative management. The open economy has entered a new stage. In 2007, the total value of imports and exports reached 2.17 trillion US dollars, rising from sixth to third place in the world.
The construction of an innovative country has made good progress, and a number of scientific and technological innovation achievements with significant international impact have emerged. The manned space flight and the first lunar exploration project were complete successes.
The comprehensive realization of free and compulsory education in rural areas is an important milestone in the history of China's education development. A public health system and a basic medical service system covering both urban and rural areas have been initially established.
The urban and rural public cultural service system has been gradually improved. Important progress has been made in the reform of the cultural system, and cultural undertakings and cultural industries have developed rapidly. The Shanghai Special Olympics was successfully held. Preparations for the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Shanghai World Expo are progressing well.
New progress has been made in the building of democracy and the legal system, administration according to law has been steadily promoted, and the protection of the people's rights and interests and the safeguarding of social fairness and justice have been strengthened.
People's lives have improved markedly. In the past five years, 51 million new urban jobs have been created nationwide. The per capita disposable income of urban residents increased from 7,703 yuan in 2002 to 13,786 yuan in 2007, and the per capita net income of rural residents increased from 2,476 yuan to 4,140 yuan. The framework of the social security system has taken shape. The number of people living in poverty is decreasing year by year.
……
In his previous life, Lin Feng was just an ordinary person, he only cared about work, making money, family, and things around him, and at most knew some information about industry-related fields.
He almost never watched the news broadcasts, and he rarely knew about the news other than the policies related to his own industry, let alone carefully studied the annual government work report - he was not one of those financial people who followed the policies closely.
Ye Weiyu may know more than him in this regard, after all, he is an investment banker.
Today is the first time that Lin Feng has read a similar work report document word by word in so many years!
In these figures and achievements, Lin Feng deeply felt how difficult it is for a big country like China to achieve these achievements!
The 10% GDP growth may be attributed to the "land sale" of land finance.
But we have to admit that in the golden decade, the real drivers of China's economic growth include three aspects: investment, consumption, and imports and exports.
Land is only part of the investment, but also includes a large number of infrastructure, high-speed rail, highways, urban rail transit, optical cable lines, bridges, ports and many other fields. Consumption also accounts for a large proportion, and even the development of the Internet also relies on this, and the consumption pull and growth brought by China's demographic dividend is huge.
As for imports and exports, after joining the TO, China's manufacturing industry has become the "world's processing factory" because of its relatively low labor costs in developed countries, and its export trade to Europe and the United States has also contributed a high proportion to China's economic growth.
The rise of a great power is by no means an overnight achievement, but requires continuous accumulation and development day by day and year by year......
Lin Feng recalled his previous life, and in 2017, China's increasingly important position and influence in the world, and then looked at these figures ten years ago, and little by little achievements, and suddenly felt a sense of pride and mission to participate in history and China's rise process.
This is also the first time since Lin Feng's rebirth that he has realized his sense of responsibility from the perspective of society and the country.
It made him feel so excited that he couldn't help himself.
