Chapter 498: The Storm Rises Again

After entering the house, he threw all his eyes on Cao Yongguo, and Secretary Cao didn't seem to be paid much attention in the eyes of Governor Gu, but people are blessed, and they have a son-in-law who is popular in front of the secretary and the governor, and the secretary and the governor nod. and then to the activities in the capital, the next step is that the deputy provincial level will not be able to run.

Xia Xiang also thought that Fan Ruiheng was deliberately lifting him in front of everyone, and when he sat in the car, he saw Fan Ruiheng and said with a serious face: "The net received the news. The three articles of you and Fan Zhengxiao were suppressed, and the editor-in-chief was under pressure from above, and he couldn't stand it, so he had to suspend his profits

Xia Yu's heart sank, and the thing he was most worried about still appeared.

If he remembers correctly, next year, which is still the year, will be the most dazzling year for domestic political reform, starting with the eye-catching institutional reform of the State Council, after Vice Premier He took over the State Council. The State Council's bloated apparatus was overhauled, many ministries and commissions were merged, and many ministers were reduced, firing the first shot fired by Vice Premier Ho since he became premier.

However, it is a pity that Vice Premier Ho's reforms have also angered many conservative forces, leading to a counterattack by conservative forces. Although Premier He was in charge of the State Council, the propaganda was in the hands of conservatives, and as a result, many of the policies of the State Council and Premier He's remarks could not be transmitted in a timely manner, and they were greatly restricted.

The domestic political situation has always been so complicated, even at the highest level, they are still clamping each other, and it is also a helpless thing to not be able to let go of the ambitions in their chests.

It is precisely because of the strength of the conservative forces that they have always been restrained in their foreign policy, and when they are bombed by embassies, when they are occupied by others, when they are trampled on by their compatriots, and when they are landed on their own islands to fish, they always react slowly, and finally make a painless statement.

China is sometimes like a big man with a strong body but as timid as a mouse, who scolds and beats back. and was molested from time to time. Sometimes it's pushed too much. Just stomp your feet to indicate your height. All reactionaries are paper tigers, in fact, the reverse should be reversed, in the eyes of imperialism, the old empire has always been a paper tiger.

The manuscript was withheld and not sent, and it is estimated that it was also because of a speech incident by Dagger, which had too much impact and made someone at the top angry, so he did not hesitate to use political force to suppress the manuscript of the three of them. Xia Xiang was a little worried in his heart. Fortunately, with the popularization of the Internet in later generations, the control over propaganda has weakened a lot, and many truths will also spread on the Internet as soon as possible, although there are also "five Mao parties" that are advancing with each other. of the appearance. However, after nearly ten years of online life, most netizens have the ability to judge right and wrong, true and false, and the Internet has become the channel for the first dissemination of many truths.

Even the first and third people in China often used the Internet to communicate with netizens.

Although Xia Xiang was in charge of the book, seeing Fan Ruiheng's determined face, he knew that Governor Fan probably had a countermeasure, so he asked, "Governor Fan, please instruct what to do next?" ”

"It's a good thing that there's no debate in the media. The readjustment of our industrial structure can be carried out without being affected. Fan Ruiheng smiled, "I suppressed your article, and Cheng Xixue's article was also withdrawn." Everything must pay attention to a balance, not to mention that Secretary Ye and I have our own connections in the capital, that is, between the high-level. will not allow Cheng Xixue to sing a one-man show in the newspaper again,"

Could it be that the controversy has just died down?

"But you also have to be mentally prepared, maybe when Cheng Xixue's article will suddenly appear again, suddenly throwing out new views, since the media is in the hands of others, then the initiative is also in the hands of others, for us. It's a passive situation everywhere. Fortunately, there is one point, that is, the initiative to continue to promote the adjustment of the industrial structure in Yan Province is in our hands, and others can't easily take it away, hehe. ”

Xia Xiang also smiled, the current situation in Yan Province is that the secretary and the governor join forces to support it, and there is no way for someone in the high-level to look at Yan Province anymore, and it is not only too difficult to replace the secretary and governor, but also almost no feasibility. After banging in the media for a while. Seeing that Yan Province was unmoved. Moreover, the counterattack is still very strong, and it is estimated that someone is also a little tired, and he doesn't want to make the debate a good opportunity for Yan Province to take advantage of the opportunity to publicize, so he wants to let the debate temporarily slow down and wait for the next opportunity.

Xia Xiang didn't want to argue endlessly in the media, not to mention it, but also to distract himself. It is also easy to shake the leaf stone production. Well, it's good to stop, seeing that his second wave of ** is coming, after success. He was ready to implement his second-step plan. As long as the second batch of pilot cities is on the agenda, it will be a major victory.

When he was about to arrive in Yan City, Zhang Zhibin received another phone call, and handed the phone to Fan Ruiheng after only saying two words. After Fan Ruiheng answered, his expression became solemn, and he hung up the phone after only saying two words.

After being silent for a moment, Fan Ruiheng said: "The action is quite fast, I just received a call from Secretary Ye, and received a notice from the General Office of the State Council that Vice Premier Zhao Quanxin is coming to Yan Province to inspect."

Zhao Quanxin is a conservative in the State Department. He has always been known for his opposition to the reform of the provinces, and his hard-line attitude is arguably the most powerful representative of the conservatives in the State Council.

During the sensitive period, I suddenly want to inspect Yan Province, and the person who comes is not good!

Although Zhao Quanxin did not rank high among the four vice premiers of the State Council, he was always relatively active and known for his outspokenness; it is said that when he inspected various places, whenever he did not like him, whether it was the secretary of the provincial party committee or the provincial governor, he would point out all kinds of deficiencies in person, and he would not care about the faces of others. Therefore, although he carried out a lot of inspections, because he was not liked by the secretaries in various places, the media in various places reported very little, and even the central media also moved against the old Zhen. Very little publicity.

The media does not publicize it, and the provinces have their own channels to know who Zhao Quanxin is, and who he slapped in the face when he inspected the province, and so on. Medium-sized provinces can't afford to hold the shelf, so they have to receive them at full scale, while some impoverished provinces, as long as they hear that Zhao Quanxin came to inspect, they will feel helpless, knowing that Vice Premier Zhao's inspection has always only found faults and has not brought projects. But I have to endure it helplessly, who made the family a vice premier?

Xia Xiang knew very well that Zhao Quanxin's intentions when he came to inspect Yan Province at this moment, either he deliberately came to beat Yan Province, or he was used as a gun by a certain high-level person, or he and a certain high-level person were originally all the way.

Xia Xiang wasn't worried about Zhao Quanxin picking and picking mistakes. He was worried about Ye Shisheng's soft ears.

Sure enough, Fan Ruiheng has the same mind as him. He withdrew his gaze from the window and said: Xia, in terms of big problems and big policies, Secretary Ye and I can deal with it, I estimate that Vice Premier Zhao may propose to inspect the leading group, I believe you can also deal with it calmly, my only concern is that if Vice Premier Zhao's wording is a little strong. Will Secretary Ye not

Fan Ruiheng didn't say anything clearly.

Xia Xiang was also worried that Ye Shisheng would retreat. After all, Cheng Xixue's criticism of Yan Province by name in the national media can be regarded as a debate in the academic community. But if in the face of Zhao Quanxin's criticism and the denial of a vice premier, it is still unknown whether Secretary Ye can withstand the pressure, Fan Ruidan's worries are also reasonable, and his question is also hinting that he should let himself come forward to maneuver at a critical moment, and don't let Ye Shisheng retreat.

As the governor of the province, Fan Ruiheng has many words that are inconvenient to say, even if he is well-intentioned, he may be misunderstood by Ye Shisheng. After all, as the first and second leaders in the province, there is too much overlap in power. It's easy to feel like you're fighting for power.

Xia Xiang nodded hurriedly: "I will report to Secretary Ye in a timely manner, and now that the adjustment of the industrial structure has reached a critical period, I believe that Secretary Ye's political wisdom will not give in lightly."

Fan Ruiheng didn't say much, but his expression was not very relaxed: "I hope so."

There was silence in the car for a while.

Xia Xiang's eyes turned to the window, the season at the beginning of the month was the last autumn harvest scene on the northern land. The fields are busy, farmers are harvesting peanuts and sweet potatoes, and large fields of jade and rice are growing well and are spending their last autumn days.

Xia Xiang's mind was a little trance, and the pressure from all sides was really endless, thinking that Cheng Xixue would be quiet for a while if he stopped the debate. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Vice Premier Zhao came to inspect Yan Province again, there was a conflict of interests everywhere, and no one was willing to give up a trace of interests in their hands, even if they had already gotten a lot, so much that they had already looted the hard-earned money of the people of the whole country for countless years!

Just like the peasants in China, they were first oppressed by countless forces during the Anti-Japanese War, and after liberation, they were suppressed by a non-agricultural household for many years. In order to ensure the quality of life of urban people, the price of agricultural products has been forcibly lowered for decades. In fact, the so-called happy life of the city people back then was all based on the extraction of the surplus value of 800 million peasants, and there was nothing to be proud of, but it made the self-righteous city people look down on their food and clothing. Where can I afford to wear cotton clothes?

As a result, the facts are often painful, and the people in the cities do not know how to repay their kindness, but look down on the peasants, but they do not know that without the poverty of the peasants, there can be no prosperity in the cities. This is just like more and more public servants now look down on the people, which was originally a right given by the people, but it was used by some officials as a means to deal with the people. How similar to the scene of the city people looking down on the peasants!

The same is true for the nature of the industry. Natural monopolies include water, electricity, public transportation, tobacco, oil, gas, telecommunications, rail transport, including banking, and so on. The existence of these monopolies is inevitable because of economies of scale, externalities and barriers to entry. Specific monopoly companies include the State Power Corporation, China National Petroleum Corporation, China Petrochemical Corporation, China National Offshore Oil Corporation, China Grain Import and Export Corporation, China Coal Import and Export Corporation, China Telecom, China Netcom, and China Railway.

In short, in high-sounding words, it is: an advantageous industry, an industry that is related to the lifeblood of the nation. In the words of the people, it is: the country says that the price will be raised, and the industry that says that if you can't turn over for ten years, you can't turn over!

Basically, the industries or enterprises monopolized by the state are the same as the faces of government officials, and there is a phenomenon that their faces are ugly and things are difficult to do.

If government officials do not regard themselves as public servants, and monopolies do not regard consumers as umbrella parents, there will be more and more serious harm, resulting in the confrontation between the two classes, and after the crisis is sown, it will one day erupt.

Xia wanted to understand that it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to break the monopoly by relying on his own strength. But if what he does can serve as a warning to the monopoly industry. It would be great if they could make them aware of the crisis and improve the quality of service and quality.

In some industries, it is impossible to break the monopoly, and the existence of only one supplier in the market will inevitably lead to problems such as poor service quality, but it is also difficult to solve the problem by introducing competition. Usually the end result is a collusive monopoly-oligopoly. Oligopoly also has a certain competitive mechanism, and at this stage, it is the most reasonable mechanism, although oligopoly is also a form of basebreaking.

The so-called oligopoly is that the vast majority of the market share of a certain industry is monopolized by a few large enterprises. The most knife, but also the most public condemnation is the field of jaw information, China Mobile, Zhongpu Eclipse, China Telecom, China Netcom four companies almost monopolized the entire communications market. The market pattern of oligopoly is having an important impact on the marketization of China's economy, so it has also become the focus of people's increasing attention.

PetroChina and Sinopec are also oligopolies.

At this stage, Zhongshidian and Sinopec have not yet shown their hideous side, in later generations, because of the car, Xia Xiang is not less concerned about how the appetite of the two families is getting bigger and bigger, more and more greedy, and the means are getting worse and worse.

In the last two years before Xia Xiang's rebirth, Sinopec and PetroChina's actions had been discredited by the entire Chinese people. There are billions of dollars invested in oil fields in Africa and South America, and tens of millions of yuan to decorate their company's chandeliers, but they don't know how to understand the people's suffering. When the international oil price was at its highest one year, the United States oil was a gallon per dollar, and the Chinese oil price was 6 yuan a liter. Later, international oil prices plummeted, with American oil dollars a gallon and Chinese oil prices a liter. After that, the international oil price rose slightly, the US oil price was 10,000 US dollars a gallon, and the Chinese oil price actually broke through 6 yuan in one go. What to say is in line with international standards. China's oil prices have not fallen even if they have risen at all. Occasionally it falls, and it quickly rises back! PetroChina stocks have circled hundreds of millions of Chinese's money, oil prices have robbed hundreds of millions of Chinese's money, and later natural gas will force the palace to rise. He also said that national enterprises should be supported, if they are not monopolized. Who the fuck is a fool to support such an unkind and greedy Chinese company!

American enterprises think about social responsibility, credibility and image, return to the people, and sustainable development. China's state-owned enterprises are trying to do everything possible to grab money from the common people, big brands and small brands. Later, someone from Sinopec stood up to refute the rumors. In fact, the big chandelier in our house did not cost 40,000 yuan, and you really misunderstood our state-owned enterprise, which has no self-interest and specializes in benefiting others. We are sad and disappointed, the chandelier is actually only worth 10,000 yuan, that is, just enough to build Tiansuo Hope Primary School, so that thousands of poor primary school students can go to primary school literacy, in fact, there is no big deal, they do not go to school does not have much impact, and if we do not have a chandelier, it will seriously affect the image of our world to persuade strong enterprises. I believe that kind-hearted and easily deceived Chinese people can understand,,

After getting off the highway, Xia Xiang retracted his thoughts. He believes that the success of the whole area will eventually promote the healthy development of the market economy, so as to gradually break all kinds of unreasonable monopolies and find more reasonable rules for the field.

Vice Premier Zhao's inspection was faster than expected.

On the third day, Vice Premier Zhao and his entourage of dozens of people came to Yan Province in a mighty manner, and all the Standing Committee members of Yan Province headed by Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng came forward to greet them. After the regular welcoming ceremony, Zhao Quanxin held a closed-door meeting with the Standing Committee of Yan Province for several hours, and then Zhao Quanxin suddenly proposed to inspect the Yan Provincial Leading Group for Industrial Restructuring.

According to the original itinerary, there was no arrangement for the inspection team. However, the superiors have always been interested in inspecting the work, and they are always interested in the occurrence of changes in the itinerary, so Ye Shisheng had no choice but to let Ma Qiu Jixuan go down to prepare, but Zhao Quanxin said: "It's just a casual look, no need to notify in advance."

Ma Qiu had no choice but to stand still and wait for Ye Shisheng to speak.

Ye Shisheng was also aware of Zhao Huangxin's intention to make a surprise visit to the leading group, and although Zhao Quanxin had been here for a long time, and during the closed-door meeting, he also listened to the implementation of Yan Province's industrial restructuring policy, but he did not express any opinions, nor did he criticize it with a cold face. Ye Shisheng knew Zhao Quanxin's temper, and his heart was always hanging, lest he would be accused of any mistakes in person. Zhao Quanxin did not express any views on the adjustment of the industrial structure of Yan Province, could it be that he wanted to pick out the fault of the leading group?

What made Ye Shisheng even more uneasy was that. Cheng Xixue actually came to visit with Vice Premier Zhao!

However, Ye Shisheng did not waver as Fan Ruiheng worried, whenever there was a stir. He has already made up his mind, even if Zhao Quanxin puts forward any criticisms, he will accept them on the surface, as for whether to do so, as the secretary of the provincial party committee, he still has enough autonomy.

Ye Shisheng asked Ma Qiu to step down, and set himself to lead the way to accompany Zhao Quanxin to the leading group.

Xia Xiang also heard that Cheng Xixue, as an entourage, was also on Vice Premier Zhao's visiting list. I guessed a little in my heart that the purpose of Cheng Xixue's appearance was to come to Yan Province to investigate the truth, or to deliberately use the authority of Vice Premier Zhao to come to make things difficult for him?

Risk: Ask for a monthly ticket to comfort "Lao He has been writing for many years, and before he came, he also published a lot of articles in major magazines, and in the past two days, many "enthusiastic friends" have come to the book review area to "guide" Lao He how to write a good official god. Lao He never wanders around other people's book review areas. Just burying my head in writing my own book, did my brothers vote for me a monthly ticket, which also made some people feel uncomfortable? To be honest, the weather has been bad these days, very cold, and it is very uncomfortable to write for a long time, that is, in the spirit of a heart for the brothers, I strive to insist on 10,000 words a day. Guanshen's current results are not very good, but they are not bad either. If you write according to the guidance of "enthusiastic friends", the official god is the current official god, which is neither the luck of the old man, nor the blessing of the brothers who like the official god. Fortunately, Lao He always understands one thing, the official god is written to you, not to those who don't even read the book to point out the country, please like and dislike the official god friends rest assured, the road of the official god will go wider and wider, and it will go far"
