Chapter Two Thousand and Fifty-Seven: Lao Mei is in a hurry!
Liu Jun nodded and said, "The governor's concern is very reasonable, but the problem will not be too big. Basically, before that, all the other financial bonds we hold except for US Treasuries have been sold off pretty much completely. A portion of it shifted its holdings to U.S. Treasuries. Therefore, even if the investment banks in the United States are all crossed, our losses will not be very large. It is estimated that the losses of the private sector are slightly larger. ”
Under the strict orders of the State Council, the process of divestment of state-owned financial institutions and key state-owned enterprises from the US virtual asset market has been relatively smooth.
In the past few months, several heavyweights of the US Government, including the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of State, have visited our country one after another, hoping that we will be able to retain some funds and continue to support the US financial market. These US dignitaries pointed out that once the financial crisis breaks out, it will be a global disaster, and as a member of the WTO, the Republic will not be able to avoid the impact of the financial crisis. For now, we need to unite and get through this together. It is hoped that Japan will be able to shoulder the responsibilities of a great power.
In order to cooperate with the diplomatic offensive, the US Congress approved the arms sales to the Treasure Island area.
The US Government has been raising this arms sale case for some time. It is planned to massively increase arms sales to the Treasure Island region and improve the defense forces of the Treasure Island area. At that time, some US dignitaries also reminded President David that this arms sale might cause strong dissatisfaction on the part of the Republic. President David disagreed, saying that there was no need to consider the feelings of the Republic. The sale of weapons to the Treasure Island region is entirely an internal affair of the United States.
Faced with this situation, our reply is very simple: the $100 billion of US Treasury bonds that we originally promised to be re-held will no longer be purchased, and all funds will be withdrawn.
This decision came as a surprise to everyone.
A big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other hand is the established strategy of the United States, and as long as this magic weapon is sacrificed before, it is almost invincible, and it will reap some benefits.
Unexpectedly, this time, he hit the iron plate head-on.
The Republic has put on an unprecedented tough posture!
Don't give an inch!
As a result, the United States decided to increase arms sales to the island, especially several destroyers with the Aegis system, which were not included in the previous arms purchases. Similar Aegis destroyers, previously in the Asia-Pacific region, the United States sold only to island nations. This decision was also made to sell the Treasure Island area, which was naturally a demonstration to our country.
However, soon after, Russia announced the transfer of the latest AWACS aircraft system to our country, and agreed to produce another 200 Su-30 fighters on our own.
There is no doubt that this is aimed at US arms sales to the Treasure Island region.
The Western media exclaimed: a strong Eastern power is accelerating its rise!
As the governor of Province D, Wei Ningsheng is generally clear about these situations, but Wei Ningsheng does not understand the inside story very thoroughly. However, he vaguely heard that Russia's sudden agreement to transfer the latest early warning aircraft system to China, allowing it to produce 200 Su-30 fighters on its own, and putting pressure on the island countries on the territorial issue were all related to Liu Jun's visit to Russia in April this year.
In other words, Yoo Joon is able to influence the highest decision-making levels in Russia.
Wei Ningsheng understood very well what it meant to have this kind of influence at Liu Jun's current level. Just for this point, Wei Ningsheng's perception of Liu Jun has changed a lot.
Judging from the current situation, this young secretary is really wholeheartedly thinking about the country and the people.
"Secretary, Jiangzhong Xin Deyuan reported that many manufacturing enterprises in Jiangzhong City have begun to have a serious shortage of orders...... They have too many foreign-funded enterprises and too many labor-intensive enterprises, so they don't have enough time for transformation......"
Wei Ningsheng shook his head and said.
Xin Deyuan, secretary of the Jiangzhong Municipal Party Committee, is indeed a cronie cadre who Wei Ningsheng single-handedly raised, and now facing a predicament, Wei Ningsheng is worried, but he can't help but explain a few words to him.
He took a sip from his teacup and said, "Hmm." Comrade Deyuan is still quite effective in implementing the transformation strategy. As the governor said, the situation on his side is indeed quite special. Manufacturing has become an indispensable economic pillar of Jiangzhong City. If the financial crisis turns into a global economic crisis, not only will the foreign market shrink sharply, but many sole proprietorships that were originally doing well will also close down due to the company's headquarters. This situation really needs to be carefully considered, and we should give more assistance to Jiangzhong City. ”
Liu Jun's unexpected statement made Wei Ningsheng overjoyed.
Wei Ningsheng originally intended to increase his support for Jiangzhong City, but he was worried that the responsible cadres of other cities would have a "heart of comparison". After all, the relationship between him and Xin Deyuan is well known to everyone. Now that the financial crisis has officially erupted, what city does not need strong assistance from the province? Just intensifying support for Jiangzhong City will inevitably give people a handle.
But now that Yoo Jun understands his position, it's different. In the final analysis, the provincial government just carried out Secretary Liu's instructions.
"The secretary's instructions are very wise, I will go back and deploy it immediately, and ask Xin Deyuan and Liu Yongbing to come to the province, make a preliminary plan with them, and then report to the secretary."
Wei Ningsheng said politely, and the position was very correct.
The so-called Liu Yongbing is the mayor of Jiangzhong City.
Liu Jun smiled and said: "Governor, if not, tomorrow I will go to Jiangzhong with you to take a walk to see the actual situation of the industrial zone and enterprises, and then hold a symposium of major cadres to listen to everyone's opinions." This makes it easier to brainstorm ideas and helps us make decisions. ”
Wei Ningsheng couldn't help but be stunned.
Liu Jun's arrangement is really too thoughtful. It was just a verbal instruction from the secretary of the provincial party committee, and after Wei Ningsheng implemented it, he was still inevitably questioned by the responsible cadres of other cities. Now that Liu Jun personally went to Jiangzhong City for a field investigation and gave instructions on the spot, no one can "suspect" him anymore Wei Ningsheng favors one over the other.
"It would be great if it could be like that."
Wei Ningsheng said sincerely.
……
The night was already deep.
The No. 1 suite of the Phoenix Hotel in the Jiangzhong Municipal Party Committee Guest House is still brightly lit.
Xin Deyuan and Liu Yongbing sat opposite Liu Jun, still a little nervous.
Although this is not the first time that Liu Jun has visited Jiangzhong City.
Liu Jun served as the secretary of the provincial party committee of Province D for nearly a year, and still maintained his usual style, often going down to take a look and get first-hand information. This is the third time I have visited Jiangzhong City.
Early this morning, the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders of the provincial party committee came together, and emergency arrangements were made up and down in Jiangzhong City. Of course, the so-called decoration is a matter of reception. Last night, Governor Wei called and made it clear that don't deceive, let Secretary Liu see the real situation. Secretary Liu came to inspect Jiangzhong City this time to solve the problem. If Xin Deyuan and Liu Yongbing whitewash the peace, it will inevitably be a big deal.
This is also a quiet change.
In the past, cadres in various localities and cities have formed a mindset that whenever a leader inspects, he must present the best side to the leader's eyes. But that is changing since Yoo Joon's appointment. The reason is simple, whitewashing peace in front of Yoo Jun is often thankless. Because you don't know when Secretary Liu arrived, maybe when Liu Jun summoned the person in charge of the city, he had already walked around the city and knew some "dark corners" well. If the city's leading cadres tell lies, Secretary Liu is likely to personally act as a "guide" and lead everyone to see on the spot.
Just two months ago, there was such an "encounter" in a city in the west, and in the face of a large area of low "slums", all flowery rhetoric was useless. The secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor could not justify themselves.
As a result, the secretary of the city's municipal party committee became the first incumbent municipal party secretary to be exchanged.
Everyone also realized that if they lied in front of Secretary Liu, the consequences could be very serious.
Liu Jun has warned the cadres more than once that they are not afraid to tell the truth. It doesn't matter if there are problems, the key is not to hide them, dare to face them, and then find ways to solve them, which is what leading cadres should do.
Of course, the cadres of Province D have heard a lot of this. Not only do I listen a lot, but I also talk a lot.
"Seeking truth from facts" is the motto of the party school.
Who of the principal leading cadres of prefectures, cities, and counties has not gone to a party school?
It's just that there are not many cadres who really listen to this. When a general environment of telling lies, clichés, and empty words gradually takes shape, there will only be fewer and fewer cadres who tell the truth.
However, Secretary Liu is different. This is clearly felt by the cadres of Province D. All the cadres who have reported to Liu Jun in person have a profound experience. As long as you tell the truth, even if the situation is bad, Secretary Liu will still have a smile on his face. Once you tell a lie, the situation will immediately become different, and often Secretary Liu will frown and casually correct some untruths in your report.
It's embarrassing.
The situation of the city or department you lead, the secretary of the provincial party committee knows better than you!
So today, Liu Jun and Wei Ningsheng saw the most real situation in Jiangzhong City. In the several industrial zones visited, a small number of enterprises have ceased production, and even the bosses of some enterprises have disappeared and absconded with the money, and hundreds of employees have gathered at the factory gate to demand unpaid wages.
Such a situation, put aside in the past, is absolutely impossible to appear in front of the eyes of the provincial party secretary and governor.
It is said that in its heyday, there were four branches and more than 10,000 workers, but now orders have dropped sharply, and only two branches are still in production, and the number of workers has been reduced by nearly half.
At the moment, this is the real situation in Jiangzhong City.
Although according to the governor's instructions, the truest side was put in front of Secretary Liu, Xin Deyuan and Liu Yongbing could not be "complacent", and their worries were completely understandable.
