Before New Year's Day 2008, Yoo Jun returned to the capital.

He returned to Beijing this time to attend the Politburo meeting to be held the day after tomorrow. The main purpose of this Politburo meeting is to study the economic construction work of the whole country next year, and Liu Jincai will report on the work of the State Council at the meeting.

As the secretary of the provincial party committee of the country's largest economic province, Liu Jun will also make a formal speech at such a "professional" meeting to expound his opinions.

However, before the meeting, Liu Jun first went to the old man's office. Strictly speaking, this was a very formal summons, and the Prime Minister summoned the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Province D to discuss the overall situation of economic development.

The summons took place at night.

This night, Liu Jincai left all the time to Liu Jun, and put on a posture of "talking from the heart". It is said that when Liu Jincai summoned Qu Haojin in the past, he was treated the same way. The prime minister had a long conversation with the heads of several provinces and cities with the largest economic aggregates, and there were many important issues that needed to be communicated.

Originally, this conversation could also be conducted at home, but Liu Jincai insisted on talking in the office.

The family is the father and son, and the battle is the monarch and the minister.

Wang Daotian, the former person in charge of the "Liuban," has been appointed director of the General Office of the State Council, and the "Liuban" has been replaced by a new person in charge, who is also a staff member of the original "Liuban," and has a good relationship with Liu Jun.

"Work is going well, isn't it?"

The conversation between the father and son was naturally more casual, and they did not sit opposite each other in front of the desk, but sat side by side on the sofa, Liu Jincai turned his head slightly to look at his son, with a very concerned look on his face.

Liu Jun's appointment as secretary of the provincial party committee of Province D has caused a sensation in the political arena of the country and even the world, and everyone is paying close attention to the words and deeds of the youngest central leader of the republic. In particular, the bigwigs of this faction expressed greater concern about whether Yoo Jun would be able to gain a firm foothold in Province D.

Basically, Yoo Joon's tenure in Province D will determine where he can ultimately go. If he manages this province, which is the largest economic province in the country and also has the most complicated political situation, and makes further progress, then his "inspection period" will be completely qualified, and no one will treat him as a junior in any political figure, including the elders, and will give him a real political status equivalent to his position in his heart. If, on the contrary, Yoo Jun lost Maicheng in Province D, causing a strong rebound, then the future prospects are not bleak, at least not optimistic. This proves that he is still too young after all, and his ability to coordinate the overall situation and deal with complex situations needs to be improved, and more training is needed.

So at the beginning of Liu Jun's tenure, some friends who had close personal relations with him called him one after another, reminding him to be steady, down-to-earth, not to be in a hurry, and not to be greedy for merit. Naturally, in view of Liu Jun's current status, these words are relatively vague, but the meaning is clear, one word - stable!

Don't ask for reactive power, but ask for no fault!

As long as Liu Jun stabilizes his position and maintains the stability and unity of Province D, it will be the biggest victory. Five years later, becoming a full member of the Politburo was a foregone conclusion.

Politburo members in their early 40s have no one to match this age advantage alone.

Everyone knows Liu Jun's character and knows that for Liu Jun, the word "stability" is precisely the most difficult thing to do. He's always driven.

Liu Jincai didn't talk to Liu Jun about this, even if Liu Jun called his father every day to ask for peace, he just chatted a few words about family life, and generally didn't involve work.

Maybe the old man didn't want to disrupt his son's governance layout at the beginning of his tenure.

Liu Jun replied with a smile: "Fortunately, I am basically familiar with the comrades in the team, and the responsible cadres of some important cities below have also met and learned a little. ”

This is a compulsory lesson for the secretary of the provincial party committee at the beginning of his tenure. For a month, Liu Jun talked and communicated with his comrades almost every day and exchanged views.

Liu Jincai said: "Some old comrades also need to visit and ask for more advice. ”

"Yes. Also went. ”

There are quite a few veteran comrades in Province D, especially at the beginning of reform and opening up, when the special economic zones were established, a large number of veteran cadres were mobilized from all over the country to enrich those open cities; over the past 20 years, the economic development of Province D has made achievements that have attracted worldwide attention, and all these veteran comrades who have made great contributions have also retired and are living in their old age in Province D. They have a deep affection for Province D, and the subordinates who were promoted in those years are now playing the leading role in various cities in the province, and their visits are not only necessary for etiquette, but also for political purposes.

Liu Jincai bowed slightly, he knew that in these etiquette, Liu Jun did not need to command. Respecting the elderly and respecting the virtuous is the consistent family education tradition of the Lao Liu family, and it will not change because of the change of status.

"How are you preparing for the meeting the day after tomorrow?"

Liu Jincai asked with concern again.

Although this meeting was not the first Politburo meeting that Yoo Jun attended after being elected as an alternate member of the Politburo, it was the first time that Yoo Jun formally expressed his views at a Politburo meeting, and its importance can be imagined.

Liu Jun's expression became slightly more serious, and he said, "I have also made some preparations...... However, I'd like to talk to you first. ”

"Well, you say!"

Liu Jincai's expression also became serious. He understands his son's character and understands that Liu Jun is so cautious, so the proposal proposed at the meeting must be very important, and it is by no means a decent ordinary speech.

Liu Jun did not rush to speak, but gave the old man a cigarette, lit one himself, took a few puffs, and said in a deep voice: "Dad, the purpose of our WTO is to integrate with the world economy and participate in the process of global integration. This general direction is correct, if you want to win in the game, you must first agree with the rules of the game and be accepted by most partners in the game to win. But here's the question, and that's who sets the rules of the game! Obviously, this rule is not up to us. In other words, the initiative is not in our hands. Once we get used to the rules and gradually gain an advantage, they will change the rules and introduce new regulations, so that we will always be in a passive position and always adapt to their rules. ”

Liu Jincai grabbed the finger of the cigarette and paused, then slowly put it to his mouth and whispered: "It's hard to beat, what can I do?" ”

Yoo Jun nodded slowly.

He could understand his father's difficulties and anxieties. The formulation of the rules of this game is not so easy to change. In order to gain the power to make rules, or at least to participate, you must first become strong enough. Of course, this is not a simple economic issue, but a comprehensive political issue, and the United States and other developed Western countries will certainly firmly hold on to this power for the sake of their own interests and so-called values, and will never let it go casually.

This can be seen from the "theory of the threat of a certain country" that they have repeatedly propagated.

Regardless of whether we are in the economy or in the military, as long as we make a little achievement, all kinds of doubts will be heard, and then there will be endless prevention, containment and even entanglement, in short, it will not give you a stable environment to concentrate on development, let alone watch a new power rise and replace it.

Those who hold this concept are the so-called developed countries and mainstream countries.

That's why Liu Jincai said: It's hard to beat!

Liu Jun said: "The power is great, and the enemy is the enemy, but it is not without opportunities. ”

Liu Jincai looked at his son and waited for the following.

"Dad, I think that the inflated real estate bubble in the United States should be our opportunity. We have not been in the WTO for a long time, and our integration with the world economy is not so deep. If a financial crisis breaks out at this time, it will be a heavy blow to the United States and European countries, and the impact on us will be far less great. That's our chance. However, how to seize this opportunity requires long-term consideration, and the whole country needs to make concerted efforts in order to achieve something. ”

Yoo Jun slowly expressed his opinion.

Liu Jincai smiled slightly and said, "You think so too?" ”

Liu Jun was slightly surprised, and asked rhetorically, "Does anyone else think so?" ”

Liu Jincai smiled and said, "I! ”

Yoo Joon also smiled.

The father and son thought of a piece, and it seems that the hero sees something in the same way!

Comrade Guo Qiliang also talked to me about this issue. He organized a number of experts to carefully discuss the risks and possibilities of the current financial crisis in the United States and the European Union. Most experts agree that a full-blown financial crisis in the United States is highly likely within the next two years......"

Liu Jun interrupted his father's words and said, "Dad, it's not within the next two years, or next year!" ”

Liu Jincai was a little surprised and asked, "It's next year?" So sure? ”

"Yes, I'm sure!"

Although it was a formal summons, after all, it was between father and son, and Liu Jun did not have any scruples when he spoke, and he was full of words.

Liu Jincai looked at his son again, revealing an inquiring look. He didn't doubt Yoo Joon's judgment, but wanted to know a deeper reason.

Liu Jun thought for a moment and said, "The subprime credit crisis is already showing symptoms, and the U.S. government doesn't pay enough attention to it, because for them, it's the norm. Because of their market mechanism, financial crises break out every once in a while and even turn into economic crises, which has become a strange circle, and they cannot get out of it, nor can they avoid it. It is precisely because of their numbness that I conclude that this financial crisis will definitely erupt next year. There is very little time left for us to prepare...... I have informed Xiaoqing and Qiao'er to retreat from the markets around the world from now on, ready to hoard funds and do a big job. However, it is not enough to rely on the power of the people, and what we can gain will be very limited. So, we have to seize this opportunity. If you miss it, you'll have to wait many more years! Perhaps by that time, we ourselves have become the object of calculations by others. ”
