Chapter 151: Another Year

On the fourth day of her arrival in Langliu, news came from the capital that the original Jingcheng Enhe Pharmaceutical Factory was about to go bankrupt, the company had a large number of skilled workers and various professionals, and its fixed assets exceeded 100 million, but due to debts, the approved assets were only millions. The American executives of Tianxin Pharmaceutical Factory immediately made a plan to promote the acquisition plan, and asked Su Ning, the chairman of the board, to return to Beijing immediately, and rushed to prepare the acquisition plan of Enhe Pharmaceutical overnight. The senior management of Tianxin Pharmaceutical believes that Enhe Pharmaceutical has rich experience in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease pharmaceuticals and has a good social reputation, and that the difficulties are entirely a problem of the enterprise system itself, and if the acquisition is successful, it will greatly strengthen the prestige of Tianxin Pharmaceutical in pharmaceutical companies, and at the same time, Tianxin Pharmaceutical will not have to stick to a class of drugs and embark on the road of all-round development.

Su Ning learned the news, hurriedly said goodbye to Xiao Chen, and embarked on the road back to Beijing.

At the end of August, Yue Xiaolian also went north to the capital to continue her studies with Luo Ting.

Xu Fei was officially transferred to the Municipal Information Center under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Propaganda Department as deputy director, and the administrative level jumped to the deputy section.

Yan Weiyu hasn't had much contact with Xiao Chen recently, and according to the little news Xiao Chen heard from Gu Le, it seems that she has been a little sad recently, and her relationship with her family is not very good. Xiao Chen guessed that it might be because of what happened last time, she was angry with her father, Director Yan Dingnan.

On 3 September, people from all walks of life in the capital held a rally to commemorate the 50 th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. In his speech at the meeting, the No. 1 leader pointed out: The Chinese War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is an important part of the World Anti-Fascist War and the main battlefield in the East of the World Anti-Fascist War. The Chinese nation has made tremendous national sacrifices for the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and has made splendid historical contributions to the cause of human civilization and progress. The Chinese resistance force and the people's resistance led by it were the mainstay of the Chinese nation's war of resistance. In his speech, Chief No. 1 pointed out that there is indeed a force on the treasure island that creates national separatism, creates "two Chinas" and "one China and one island," and undermines the great cause of the peaceful reunification of the motherland. Chief No. 1 said: History has repeatedly shown that anyone who splits the motherland and betrays the motherland by means of coercing outsiders with self-respect will inevitably be ruined and will become a sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages. Huaxia [***] and Huaxia Zhengaxe are determined to use all means to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the motherland. Any external or internal attempt to split China is doomed to failure.

On 6 September, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a circular on the issuance of the "Interim Regulations on the Work of the Huaxia Party School." The "Interim Regulations," which consist of nine chapters and 57 articles, are formulated in order to gradually establish a party school education system that meets the requirements of the development of the cause of socialist modernization, and in accordance with the "Huaxia Constitution" and the reality of party school work.

From September 25 to 28, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 14th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing. The plenary session deliberated and adopted the "Proposal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Ninth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Range Objectives for the Year 2010." Premier Lu Zhanyi made an explanation of the "Proposal" at the meeting. The "Proposal" proposes that the main objectives of national economic and social development during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period are: To comprehensively complete the second-step strategic plan for modernization, and to quadruple the per capita gross national product by 2000 compared with 1980 under the condition that China's population will increase by about 300 million compared with 1980; Poverty has been basically eradicated, and the people's living standards have reached a moderately prosperous level; We should speed up the building of a modern enterprise system and initially establish a socialist market economic system. The main goals for 2010 are: to double the gross national product (GDP) compared with 2000, to make the people's well-off life more prosperous, and to form a relatively perfect socialist market economic system. The "Proposal" proposes that the key to achieving the goal of struggle is to implement two fundamental changes of overall significance. First, the economic structure has changed from the traditional planned economic structure to the socialist market economic structure, and second, the economic growth mode has changed from extensive to intensive.

On the 27th, Chief No. 1 delivered a speech at the convener meeting of the plenum, stressing: "Our senior cadres, first of all, the secretaries of the provincial party committees, provincial governors and ministers, members of the Central Committee and members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, must stress politics. The politics I am talking about here includes political direction, political stance, political viewpoint, political discipline, political discernment, and political acumen. On political issues, we must be clear-headed. ”

On 28 July, in his speech at the closing of the plenary session, Chief No. 1 stressed the need to correctly handle a number of major relationships in socialist modernization and systematically expounded the relationship between reform, development, and stability. the relationship between speed and efficiency; the relationship between economic construction and population, resources and environment; the relationship between primary, secondary and tertiary industries; the relationship between the Eastern Region and the Midwest Region; the relationship between market mechanism and macroeconomic regulation; the relationship between the public sector and other sectors of the economy; the relationship between the state, firms and individuals in income distribution; expanding the relationship of opening up to the outside world and adhering to self-reliance; the relationship between the central and local governments; the relationship between national defense construction and economic construction; The relationship between the construction of material civilization and the construction of spiritual civilization.

The biggest gain for the Xiao family at this plenary session was that the plenary session decided to add Zhang Yongcun and Chi Tianhao as vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission.

This Zhang Yongcun is none other than Xiao Chen's cousin Zhang Yicheng's grandfather and Zhang Deling's father, that is, the former member of the Central Military Commission and chief of the General Staff. His co-optation made the middle and high-level of Huaxia privately have different opinions, and some people believe that this is the first time that the Xiao family has made a big move into the military; Some people think that this is a return made by the No. 1 leader in order to thank Xiao Lao for his recommendation; Some people also believe that this is a deliberate adjustment made by Zheng Lao in order to balance certain forces; There are even some conspiracy theorists who believe that this is the product of the struggle between Zheng and Xiao Lao...... All in all, this decision has caused a lot of chain reactions, but neither Zheng Lao nor Xiao has made any response, but it seems that there has been a tacit understanding for a long time, which makes many people suspicious.

From 6 to 10 October, the Seventh International Anti-Corruption Conference, jointly sponsored by the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Ministry of Supervision, was held in Beijing. The theme of the conference was "Anti-Corruption and Social Stability and Development". More than 900 political officials, judges, prosecutors, lawyers, experts, and professors from 89 countries and regions attended the meeting. Chief No. 1 attended the opening ceremony of the conference and delivered a speech.

On 11 October, Chief No. 1 met with a high-ranking delegation of the US "Newsweek" and other guests in Beijing. During the meeting, Chief No. 1 pointed out that the current difficulties facing Sino-US relations are caused by the US side allowing Li DH to visit the United States. Therefore, in order to overcome the difficulties in the relations between the two countries, it is natural that the US side need to take measures to eliminate the serious consequences caused by Li DH's visit to the United States. The key is that the United States will scrupulously abide by the principles of the three Sino-US joint communiques in its practical actions, earnestly fulfill its solemn commitments, win the trust of the Chinese people, and gradually bring Sino-US relations back to the track of health and stability. On the issue of the treasure island, Chief No. 1 said: We still stand for "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems." What we oppose is "two Chinas", "one China and one island", and "treasure island reading". We do not commit ourselves to renounce the use of force. We have made up our minds that in the event of a split of the motherland, whether it is an international hostile force from outside the country or a separatist force on the island itself, we may inevitably resort to non-peaceful means. Of course, we definitely don't want that day.

On 20 October, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the Government Affairs Yuan issued a circular on forwarding the "Several Opinions of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Ministry of Agriculture on Deepening the Activities of Building Socialist Spiritual Civilization in Rural Areas."

After receiving the notice, a series of activities were carried out throughout the country, and Dingqing District also carried out many activities to build socialist spiritual civilization in rural areas in response to the call of the state.

On 27 October, the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Bureau of Compiling the Works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the State Press and Publication Administration jointly held a forum in Beijing on the publication of new Marxist-Leninist works. The new Marxist-Leninist works were compiled by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China by the Compilation Bureau of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Stalin's Works, and arranged for publication by the People's Publishing House; up to that time, the first first, eleventh, and thirtieth volumes of the second Chinese edition of the Complete Works of Marx and Engels, the second Chinese edition of the Selected Works of Marx and Engels, and the third Chinese edition of the Selected Works of Lenin had been published. Compared with the original version, the three new versions have three common features: the translation is more accurate and fluent; Cataloguing is more comprehensive and reasonable; The information on the description of the surname and the annotation of the surname is more detailed.

From November 6th to 8th, the No. 1 leader inspected the work in Beijing. During his inspection tour, Chief No. 1 pointed out when meeting with leading cadres in Beijing City: To strengthen leadership, it is first necessary to strengthen the education of cadres, especially leading cadres, and strive to improve their quality, sense of responsibility, and work level. In light of the current situation and existing problems in the contingent of cadres, it is necessary to stress study, politics, and healthy trends when educating cadres. The whole country should do the same, and Beijing City should take the lead.

Since then, the "three stresses" have become a hot topic, and various localities have launched activities to study the "three stresses." Dingqing District is naturally no exception, and Xiao Chen believes that it is indeed necessary for many cadres to "stress three stresses" now, but it is difficult for him to conclude whether the cadres can listen to it or not.

On 12 November, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued a circular on forwarding the "Several Opinions of the Central Propaganda Department and the State Economic and Trade Commission on Strengthening and Improving the Ideological and Political Work in Enterprises," urging all localities and departments to study and implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 14 th CPC Central Committee and the spirit of the speech made by the No. 1 leader at the enterprise forum held in Dongfang and Yongchun, proceed from reality, formulate specific implementation measures, and guide and supervise enterprises to conscientiously implement this opinion.

On November 16, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway was paved ahead of schedule, and Premier Lu Zhanyi of the Government Council attended the celebration held in Chaisang, Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province. The Beijing-Kowloon Railway is located between the two north-south trunk lines of Jingdong and Beijing-Guangzhou, from Beijing in the north to the Special Economic Zone in the south; Connecting Kowloon, Hong Kong, running through nine provinces and cities, with a total length of 2,536 kilometers, it is the largest railway trunk line in the history of China's railway construction, with the largest investment and the longest mileage built at one time. It is expected that the Beijing-Kowloon Railway will be put into operation on September 1, 1996.

On November 29, Mayor Zhang Pingchang met with the Australian economic and trade delegation. The members of the delegation included the former mayor of Wynne, Australia, and the chairman of Hyundai Langbin Resort. Lewick, Chairman of the Australian Jockey Club Group, John Brown. Wei Kenson, Chairman Yang Weiqing and General Manager Yang Wei of Australia Select Travel Company.

From 5 to 7 December, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Government Affairs Yuan held an economic work conference in Beijing. Its main theme is to study and deploy economic work in 1996. Chief No. 1, Premier Lu, and Vice Premier Hong spoke at the meeting. Vice Premier Hong announced three important reforms to the foreign-related tax system in 1996: first, a substantial reduction in tariff rates and the abolition of preferential policies for import tax reductions; the second is to further reduce the tax rebate rate for export goods; The third is to implement a deposit account supervision system for imported materials and parts for processing trade.

During the same period, Chief No. 1 inspected the SAR. On the afternoon of 5 December, Chief No. 1 met with well-known figures in Hong Kong and stressed that "one country, two systems" is the basic principle for accomplishing the great cause of the motherland's reunification, and it is by no means an expedient measure. Chief No. 1 said: Using the principle of "one country, two systems" to resolve the Hong Kong issue, on the one hand, will ensure that we can smoothly resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong and wash away more than 100 years of national humiliation. On the other hand, it also takes into account Hong Kong's history and reality, which is conducive to maintaining Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability. This is also in line with Huaxia's long-term development strategy. Therefore, we must unswervingly implement this policy.

On December 13, the first 300,000 kilowatt unit of Shipai County Thermal Power Plant in Langliu City was officially connected to the grid for power generation, with an annual power generation capacity of 3.6 billion kilowatt hours. Since then, Langliu's electricity consumption has gradually eased, and the crisis of the electricity industry has been alleviated.

On 17 December, Chief No. 1 pointed out at an enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission: The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is a strong pillar of the people's dictatorship, a great wall of steel for the socialist motherland, and an important force embodying the political superiority of our party and state. This special function and status of our army in the life of the country determines that stressing politics is the essence of our army's fine tradition and the soul of army building. Therefore, we must always put ideological and political construction in the first place, and we must have higher demands and higher consciousness on the issue of stressing politics at all times. Chief No. 1 said: With regard to stressing politics, I spoke at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 14 th CPC Central Committee on six aspects, namely, political orientation, political stance, political viewpoint, political discipline, political discernment, and political acumen. As far as the armed forces are concerned, the most fundamental thing in successfully resolving these six problems is to ensure the party's absolute leadership over the armed forces and the quality of the people's armed forces. On the issue of upholding the party's absolute leadership over the armed forces, we must take a clear-cut stand and take a firm attitude.

From December 18 to 21, the National Political and Legal Work Conference was held in Beijing. The agenda of the meeting was to implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 14 th CPC Central Committee and the Central Economic Work Conference, to study and make arrangements for the work in 1996 around the overall situation of the work of the whole party, and to plan the political and legal work during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period and in the next 15 years. Hu Jianxin, secretary of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee and secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, pointed out at the meeting that the basic tasks of political and legal work in the next 15 years are: Guided by Comrade Zheng Nanxun's theory on building socialism with Chinese characteristics and the party's basic line and basic principles, and focusing on maintaining stability, we will severely crack down on serious criminal and economic crimes, comprehensively promote the comprehensive management of public order, vigorously strengthen legal guarantees and legal services, earnestly improve the overall quality and actual combat ability of the political and legal contingent, and create a stable and good political and social environment. The Ninth Five-Year Plan and the long-term goals for 2010 have been successfully realized.

On the afternoon of 20 July, Chief No. 1 and Premier Lu had a discussion with some of the delegates attending the meeting in the Great Hall of the People. At the forum, Chief No. 1 said: Taking a comprehensive view of the international and domestic situation at the turn of the century, we really have rare historical opportunities, but at the same time, we are also facing many challenges. The Central Committee has recently stressed that high-ranking cadres must stress politics, and it has been proposed that they must have political discernment and political acumen. Our comrades on the political and legal front must have a conscious and firm surname in this regard, and be politically tough. All senior party cadres, including provincial party secretaries, provincial governors, and ministers, should be politically tough. The more we deepen reform and open wider to the outside world, the more we must pay attention to politics.

On December 21, Langliu Municipal Axe opened the "Mayor Reception" system, which was designed to solve problems for "three-funded" enterprises. The persons in charge of more than 10 "foreign-funded" enterprises reported that the enterprises encountered problems in the process of production and operation, such as electricity, land, capital, fees, labor insurance for employees, and the performance of contracts by the Chinese side. Mayor Zhang Pingchang, Vice Mayor Li Yansheng, and responsible persons of relevant departments directly under the city answered their questions one by one.

Time flies, and winter is coming.

Unconsciously, Xiao Chen has been the secretary of the Dingqing District Party Committee for a year, and the development of Dingqing District is moving forward quickly according to Xiao Chen's will.

When the statistics of 95 years came out, some of the doubts in Dingqing District gradually subsided, Xiao Chen's prestige became more and more stable with the development of economic construction, Zhang Bangcheng showed a positive attitude towards Xiao Chen in the last few months of this year, in the eyes of the superior leaders, as if the team of Dingqing District was completely united, and really began to devote itself to the economy.

But Xiao Chen himself understands the reason for Zhang Bangcheng's cooperation, and the X08 National Highway case has not been concluded until now, which is Xiao Chen's biggest regret at the end of the year. But this case is unsolved, but there is also an advantage, that is, Zhang Bangcheng does not know how many materials and evidence Xiao Chen has to prove the extent of his involvement in this case, so he is very cooperative with the various tasks assigned by Xiao Chen, and has made a very good-looking attitude, hoping to reduce Xiao Chen's anger or murderous spirit, so as not to be used by Xiao Chen to sacrifice the knife.

In Xiao Chen's opinion, this is probably the only benefit of this case not being investigated.

At the end of the year, Xiao Chen finished all the work and returned to Dongfang City for the New Year, as the number one, his time was still very tight. On the afternoon of the 29th, he flew to Dongfang City, and flew back to Langliu on the morning of the second day of the new year, and his time in Dongfang City was less than three days.

Xiao Lao's body is still healthy, which is unexpected by many people. Xiao Lao's health has always been bad during the revolutionary period, and he himself said that he has always only set a "two-year plan", which means that he does not consider the arrangement after two years, because he feels that his body may suddenly have problems many times. Of course, having said that, at his level, it is natural that the consideration of the problem will not really be only considered for two years.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Chen's plane flew back to Langliu.

In 1996, it came.
