"Governor Gao, I think the debt problem you talked about this morning makes a lot of sense."

As soon as Gao Caohong and the two juniors went out, the atmosphere in the box changed and became a little more serious. When Yoo Jun spoke, the smile on his face also hidden.

Every year, China will cancel the debts of some developing countries and friendly countries. This has become a stereotype. Gao Changhong thought that this was not beneficial, and when he visited Liu Jincai in the morning, he put forward this opinion.

At that time, after all, it was a courtesy visit, and it was not convenient to discuss such an important issue in the living room, so Liu Jincai did not give a clear answer after listening to it. Gao Changhong will stop at the point.

Now, Yoo Jun has brought the matter up again.

Gao Changhong led the way with a smile, then frowned slightly, and said: "Giving grace without trying to repay it is of course a fine tradition of our country. However, it must be carefully considered when used in state-to-state interactions. It's not tens or tens of billions of dollars, and we really can't afford to give it. The point is that it didn't work as well as it should. Once something becomes a routine, both the giver and the receiver take it for granted. In fact, from another perspective, gratuitous assistance is not the best way to help. There was an idiom in ancient China that called food that comes from not eating. ”

Liu Jun nodded and said, "Well, it makes sense." Always pro bono assistance. They can't afford to pay their debts, and their self-esteem suffers. In a sense. That means our aid. It didn't work as well as it should. Aid up. Their economy still hasn't made a breakthrough and they still can't afford to pay their debts. Over time, we became the target of their autumn breeze. It is better to take a man and give him a fish than to teach him to fish. ”

"International exchanges, or should follow the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity, there are rights and obligations, so that normal exchanges, there is not much moral pressure on each other, this friend can do it for a long time. Always let others owe us a favor. Over time, the pressure is high, and the effect is counterproductive. ”

Gao Changhong said.

Liu Jun raised his glass slightly towards Gao Changhong. Gao Changhong raised his glass and touched Liu Jun, but he didn't drink the whole cup, but only took a shallow sip.

"Governor Gao, Comrade Changjiang's health is okay?"

Liu Jun took a bite of the dish and asked casually.

The so-called Comrade Changjiang refers to Li Changjiang, the current secretary of the Jianghan Provincial Party Committee. More than two years ago, he was released from a state ministry to this position. Before the Spring Festival, they had reached the age of 65, reaching the upper limit of the age of leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels. In the afternoon, Liu Jun went to visit Rong Baichuan, director of the Central Organization Department, and discussed with him the situation of some provincial and ministerial-level cadres.

At the beginning, Liu Jun supported Li Changjiang as the secretary of the Jianghan Provincial Party Committee. In fact, it was to show favor to Gao Changhong and win the support of the Gao department for Chai Shaoji to become the governor of Yuzhong.

Gao Changhong smiled slightly and said: "Secretary Changjiang is in good health, but he has already intended to apply to the central government to take a back seat. ”

In accordance with the relevant regulations of the central government, the term of office of leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels may be extended by three years. It was not until he was sixty-eight years old that he took a back seat. Li Changjiang can also follow this practice and retire after serving one term as secretary of the provincial party committee. Li Changjiang has a very upright official reputation and a good reputation at the top level, and it is difficult for others to say anything if he really intends to serve a full term. The top bosses must also take care of the psychology of the old comrades. Now listen to what Gao Changhong means. Li Changjiang doesn't plan to fall in love anymore. This is actually quite understandable. Three years ago, Yan Liu's department and the Gao department joined forces to push him to the position of secretary of the Jianghan Provincial Party Committee, and this meaning of "abdicating and making way for Xian" is stored in time. In order to do more for these two years as secretary of the provincial party committee. It is too cost-effective to offend the Gao family and Yan Liu's family in one go.

Liu Jun brought up this topic at this time, and Gao Changhong knew very well what Liu Jun was thinking.

Li Changjiang took the initiative to ask to withdraw from the second line, and the leaders of the Central Committee usually respected his own opinions. The position of secretary of the provincial party committee is vacant, and if Gao Changhong can ascend in order, it is naturally the most ideal.

In the following year, Gao Changhong has been in the provincial and ministerial position for a full term for five years. The possibility of going further is very high. Even if you don't go this step after two years and continue to serve as the secretary of the provincial party committee, then in another five years. At the time of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Gao Changhong was a very senior secretary of the provincial party committee, and he was extremely competitive.

Liu Jun smiled and said: "Comrade Changjiang deliberately took the initiative to unload the burden, which is very good, reflecting the broad-mindedness of a senior cadre. ”

Gao Changhong nodded with a smile and said, "Yes. I have great admiration for Secretary Changjiang. In the past two years or so of working with him, I have learned a lot of good lessons from him. ”

As a matter of fact, Li Changjiang was well aware of his "transitional nature," and when he was in charge of the work in Jianghan Province, he had great support for Gao Changhong and the provincial government. Gao Changhong didn't have many constraints. The work of the provincial government can be completely rolled out, and the economic construction work of Jianghan Province is thriving day by day, and it has achieved very good political achievements and won the unanimous approval of high-level bigwigs.

Li Changjiang really took the initiative to apply for retirement from the post of secretary of the provincial party committee, and the central government would consider letting Gao Changhong take up the post. Of course, political personnel changes are always full of uncertainties.

It can only be said that Gao Changhong has a great advantage, and before the final conclusion, no one dares to pack a ticket to say that this position will definitely belong to Gao Changhong.

The old Gao family is not without potential political opponents.

In particular, there are no giants in the high system at the moment. If you want to "cut in half" the high system and block Gao Changhong's progress, it is undoubtedly the best solution. As long as Gao Changhong's pace of progress is delayed, when Old Man Gao drives the crane west, Gao Jingzhang's influence will gradually decay, and Gao Changhong will not be able to ascend smoothly, and the entire Gao system will be in danger of falling apart.

The likelihood is not only there, but it is high.

The dismantling of a huge political bloc is undoubtedly very advantageous for other blocs. In the midst of political games. It is not necessary to exterminate the individual. As long as the whole is dismantled, no matter how strong the individual ability is, it will not help.

High-level political games do not rely on individual ability to achieve goals.

Therefore, if Li Changjiang retreats from the second line, whether Gao Changhong can make smooth progress will become very crucial. Although Old Man Gao is alive and can help, if he can get the full support of Yan Liu, the odds of victory will be much greater.

Yoo Jun took the initiative to bring up this topic, basically showing his attitude.

Liu Jun knows very well that dismantling the Gao system at this stage is harmful to the Yan Liu system. The old Gao family is one of the most typical red families, in fact, many heavyweights of the Gao family have certain differences with the Yan Liu family in terms of political concepts, which is closer to the political concept of the Pearl family. Once the influence of the old Gao family weakened. The entire Gao system fell apart, and it is less likely that these heavyweights will be won over by the Yan Liu system, and it is more likely that they are inclined to the Pearl system.

However, Gao Changhong's own political philosophy is more consistent with Liu Jun. Saved the high system from being been. , cut in half." It is to ensure that the whole large group maintains a good cooperative relationship with Yan Liu.

For Yoo Joon, it is beneficial and harmless. The difficulty of enlisting the support of one person and enlisting the support of many is clear at a glance. In the afternoon, Liu Jun talked about this with Rong Baichuan very frankly.

In this regard, Rong Baichuan also agrees.

Liu Jun smiled and said: "Come, let's toast to the high wind and bright festival of Comrade Changjiang." ”

Two delicate blue and white porcelain cups gently touched each other, making a crisp ding dong sound.

"Governor Gao, Comrade Ge Zhiyuan is also sixty-five years old this year, right?"

Liu Jun drank the liquor in his glass and asked casually.

Ge Zhiyuan is the current minister of construction, succeeding his predecessor Chang Yijin. The Ministry of Construction is regarded as the most traditional "sphere of influence" of the old Gao family; since Gao Jingzhang became Minister of Construction, successive ministers of construction have all been cadres valued by the Gao family. Chang Yijin and Ge Zhiyuan are all like this. Now that Ge Zhiyuan has reached the upper limit of the provincial and ministerial level for the main post, the post of Minister of Construction seems to be about to be replaced again.

With the National People's Congress (NPC) meeting coming up next month, it is very appropriate to replace the principal leading cadres of ministries and commissions at this time.

A vigilant look flashed on Gao Changhong's face, and he replied with a smile: "Yes, Comrade Zhiyuan turned sixty-five years old in April this year. ”

Could it be that the Yan Liu family intends to infiltrate the traditional territory of the high system? This was slightly unexpected by Gao Changhong. In fact, there was more than one pair of eyes staring at the position behind Ge Zhiyuan.

Several candidates have surfaced, all of whom are extremely strong. However, there do not seem to be cadres who are very close to Yan Liu.

Liu Jun smiled slightly and said: "Comrade Li Zhuo is an expert in urban construction, and he has worked in Yulan City for many years, and the urban construction situation in Yulan City is obvious to all. Personally, I think. If Comrade Li Zhuo can return to the Ministry of Construction, he will be a very ideal candidate. Gao Changhong smiled, it turned out that Secretary Liu was still "giving favors".

Li Zhuoben, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Province A and secretary of the Yulan Municipal Party Committee, is a reserve cadre trained by the old Gao family. His return to the Ministry of Construction is indeed very justifiable.

However, there is never a free lunch in the sky, and there is always a reason why Secretary Liu is so "face-giving".

"I also agree with Secretary Liu's opinion. I just don't know if Secretary Qiu Qingchuan will have an opinion. ”

Gao Changhong said with a smile.

Liu Jun smiled: "I also exchanged views with Secretary Qiu Qingchuan. He believes that if Comrade Li Zhuo returns to the Ministry of Construction, he will indeed be a very good candidate. As for the work in Yulan City, Comrade Mingyu can be asked to preside over it. ”

Mingyu is also an old friend of Liu Jun, who has been working at the National Development and Reform Commission and is currently the director of the National Energy Administration. If he is transferred to the secretary of the Yulan Municipal Party Committee, there is no problem at the level, but for Mingyu himself, he urgently needs to make up for the lesson of governing the locality. With the experience of governing Yulan City. Mingyu's tenure experience is basically perfect. And Magnolia is the old foundation laid down by Liu Jun, whether it is urban construction or economic strength, it must be regarded as the best choice among the provincial capitals in the country, Mingyu took over Li Tao's work, and his political achievements are predictable.

Gao Changhong smiled and said: "If Secretary Qiu thinks it is appropriate, then it must be appropriate." ”
