[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site.]

Boss Zhu is very busy, and now he is not limited to economic work, due to the bad health of the big boss, the daily work of the State Council has always been supported by him, and since he was elected as a member of the Politburo Standing Committee last year, the burden on his shoulders has become heavier.

When Fan Wuxian saw Boss Zhu, he was reviewing the documents, and more than a dozen leaders came over to report to him one by one, and after finishing a paragraph, Boss Zhu beckoned Fan Wuxian over.

"Mr. Fan came over today, what new instructions do you have?" Boss Zhu asked humorously. Fan Wuxian couldn't help but smile when he saw Boss Zhu like this.

Among China's current state leaders, Boss Zhu is a very personal style and courageous one.

Taking a speech counted by Hong Kong's Asia Weekly as an example, in a short period of just over an hour, his speech was interrupted by 53 rounds of applause.

At first, Fan Wuxian still felt a little unbelievable, but after being in contact with him for a long time, he realized that this was true.

However, it is a pity that in the news broadcast by CCTV and in the unified release of Xinhua News Agency, all the clichΓ©s that Boss Zhu read according to the script were published as usual, and all the content that Boss Zhu said off-script and aroused strong resonance and warm applause and laughter from the participants was deleted.

In this way, the serious Zhu Ji that people saw in front of the TV or in the newspapers was really far away from the chattering and laughing and high-spirited Boss Zhu that the participants at the scene directly saw, and they were almost like two people.

"Boss Zhu is in a good mood today." Fan Wuxian asked with a smile. Boss Zhu said with a smile.

"It's not bad, being appointed as deputy prime minister again, it's not a bad thing, at least I can continue to do some specific things and make some people like them. Hated by some people. ”

"Your temper is too straight, and it is easy to suffer, especially after stepping down." Fan Wuxian said to Boss Zhu.

This is why Fan Wuxian dared to say it to his face. He has just been appointed as vice premier for the second time, and he has been elected to the Politburo Standing Committee, it is the time when he is on the rise, and he will be the prime minister in charge of major national affairs in the future, and the good days in the future are still to come.

Even if you are a well-cultivated person, it is impossible not to get angry after listening to it. Boss Zhu looked at Fan Wuxi, and then said.

"I have a five principles, no inscriptions, no courtesy, no invitations, no ribbon cutting, and no approvals. The comrades in Shanghai know about it, and I have brought this habit to Beijing. = Novel 520 first release == Brought to the State Department. Fan Wuxian nodded, indicating that he had heard of it, but he didn't know why Boss Zhu suddenly brought up this matter.

"Four years ago, when I was in Shanghai, Osaka, Japan, celebrated the 15th anniversary of the friendship between Osaka and Shanghai, and held a calligraphy exchange event. At their repeated requests, I wrote four words, honest and honest. Boss Zhu looked at Fan Wuxian and said,

"The ancients said that the officials were not afraid of my strictness but of my integrity, and the people were not afraid of my ability but of my father. Gong Shengming, Lian Shengwei. If you bribe your things, then the officials will betray their public interests and round their private interests, and the reason why this religion must be abolished is that it will not work. These two sentences are just saying. My subordinates are not afraid of my harshness. but they are afraid of my incorruptibility, and the people are not convinced of my talents. but convinced of my justice. Justice, then the people dare not slack off, incorruptible, then the subordinates do not dare to bully. Justice produces strictness, and honesty produces prestige. Once there is a relationship of interests, then officials will not be able to eliminate selfish distractions and pursue selfish interests, harming the interests of the state, morality will be degraded, laws will be trampled on, and rules and regulations will become useless. From Shanghai to Beijing, I have always kept these ancient teachings in mind, regarded them as mottos, and put them into practice. As for what will happen after I step down, that's not something to think about now, because China can't do things well because many people are too concerned about what is going on behind them. ”

"I know that as a government official, this is a necessary condition, but it is quite difficult to follow it as a lifelong ethics, and sometimes others force you to receive gifts, courtesies and exchanges, human feelings, and this is the most disgusting thing about Chinese." **.coM***" Fan said.

Boss Zhu shook his head and said,

"You are just misinterpreting, the courtesy is still exchanged, but it is not to say that the gift is given, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the sages have also said such things. Well, off topic, what are you going to say when you come over this time? You see, I'm busy. ”

"This time it's ----" Fan Wuxi patted his head and said with some embarrassment,

"I forgot about it all at once." Boss Zhu laughed,

"Don't worry, you just think about it slowly." Fan Wuxian said after snorting,

"There are several things that are not only related to my own interests, but also related to the interests of the country, and I can't help but talk about them."

"Well, then you can say it, I'll remember it." Boss Zhu put on his eyes, took a notebook very seriously, found a pencil and sat there, waiting for Fan Wuxian to speak.

Fan Wuxi suddenly felt a little stunned, he didn't expect Boss Zhu to record it in person, so he said,

"No need to do this, I have prepared some materials, and I will send them to you later. \\\\\”

"I've been used to it for many years, and I'm afraid that I'll forget to make a mistake." Boss Zhu signaled that it didn't matter. Fan Wuxian then said,

"The first thing is about the hoarding of national strategic materials." Boss Zhu was surprised when he heard this,

"Well, Mr. Fan, when did you also care about this? Want to get into politics? ”

"Uh----" Fan Wuxian shook his head,

"Where do I have that kind of thought, a few days ago I intercepted a commercial espionage case, and now foreigners are salivating for my country's rare earth resources, and they can't wait to empty these things." Boss Zhu nodded after listening,

"Rare earth things, I know, local governments want to make political achievements, to produce economic benefits, the easiest thing to think about, is these mineral resources, in fact, foreigners are thinking, not only rare earths!"

"That being said, though. But rare earths are different from other places, this thing, we Chinese can completely control, now the Americans are sophisticated weapons, aircraft and tank missiles. Without this thing, there is no precise guidance, the plane cannot even break through the sound barrier, you say it is important or not? Fan Wuxian said.

"And the Americans have stopped their domestic rare earth production, all rare earth minerals are mothballed, and all the land needed is imported from China as a strategic reserve. 520 Japan and South Korea are also considering importing a large number of rare earth resources from China, and it is recently said that they intend to reserve two years' demand to prevent the international market price of rare earths from rising in the future. ”

"There's such a thing? Doesn't that mean that we no longer have pricing power in the export price of rare earth? "Boss Zhu is engaged in economic work, and as soon as he heard Fan Wuxi's words, he grasped the key point.

There are many domestic rare earth export manufacturers. In addition to Inner Mongolia, such as Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and other provinces and regions have rare earth minerals, so many manufacturers are engaged in rare earth production at the same time, it is inevitable that a competitive situation will be formed, and the domestic rare earth export is not a very unified management agency, so everyone is fighting for their own battles, in order to compete for foreign trade exports and fight a price war.

Foreigners are the ones who benefit from this. A large number of rare earth refining ores are sold at the price of cabbage, and the annual sales revenue of the country is only a few billion yuan, but a large number of state-owned resources are sold, and the value of these resources.

It should be a thousand times the sales revenue to be able to meet its own value. If Japan and South Korea really complete the strategic deployment, after two years of rare earth resource reserves, they will have the pricing power, as China's rare earth mainly sold abroad, they can not buy China's rare earth refining ore for two years, and the domestic production enterprises, I am afraid that they will not be able to last even half a year, without this export income, the factory people would have starved to death.

After listening to Fan Wuji's words, Boss Zhu felt a very headache.

"Now the central government is struggling. The implementation of the tax-sharing system has not been effective, and if you want to build a national strategic reserve. There are many difficulties, and I can only watch the land digging and digging indiscriminately and there is nothing I can do! If you want to control this industry, you still need a lot of financial support! ”

"That's why I'm here!" Fan Wuxi immediately put forward his own suggestion,

"I will replace the state as a strategic reserve, build a large-scale rare earth refining enterprise in China, unify the refining of various rare earth minerals that domestic enterprises cannot refine, and suspend the export of rare earths, and I will do the storage of all resources, what do you think?"

"Stop the export of rare earths?" Boss Zhu was also taken aback by Fan Wuxie's statement, so he said with some concern,

"I estimate that as soon as we stop exporting, dozens of ambassadors will come to our door and threaten us!" Fan Wuxian smiled slightly,

"Rare earth production, for the environment pollution is too great, under the pretext of environmental pollution, shut down and rectify rare earth processing and production enterprises, isn't this a good way? As for the operating expenses of the local factory during the shutdown period, the state will pay for it, and I will pay for it, so there is no opinion on the local government, right? Besides, the Americans don't produce anymore, so why should we do? Apart from the United States, which country do we need to be afraid of? Now China is a big market, and no one dares to threaten us with economic sanctions, and that is just creating opportunities for other countries! ”

"Even so, I'm afraid the resistance is not small, the problem of environmental pollution, more powerful than rare earth production and processing enterprises! With the current situation in China, who will believe it? Boss Zhu asked.

As long as the news network and relevant newspapers report on rare earth pollution for a month, do you think the local people will still let the factory start? And the workers in the factory, as long as the wages are paid, do you think they will find it very hard to rest? Fan Wuxian made a suggestion.

After listening to Fan Wuxi's suggestion, Boss Zhu suddenly laughed, pointed at Fan Wuxian and said,

"Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan, you are really insidious! I've learned your ingenuity, and the people's hearts are available! ”

"I also think about the interests of the country, and I am under a lot of pressure to do this kind of thing." Fan Wuxian said.

This is the truth, let the Japanese know that Fan Wuxian did this, and they will have the intention of running over to assassinate him.

Well, after looking at the book review, someone was dissatisfied with me kneeling and begging for a monthly pass.

But it's better to beg than to swipe the ticket, right? What is asked is always justified. ******************
