Chapter 1072: A Major Event That Determines the Fortunes of the Country

"What?" Listening to Guo Zhuocheng's words, Vice Premier Yu Gangqiu was taken aback, his face changed sharply, and he asked for a long time, "You stopped me on the road just to talk about this unconsequential matter?"

On the morning of the next day, before continuing the symposium on the issue of China's resumption of negotiations among the signatories to the GATT, Guo Zhuocheng, who had stayed up all night to sort out the relevant ideas, stopped Vice Premier Yu Gangqiu in a hurry on his way to the conference room and bluntly said that he would snatch the venue for the 1988 Olympic Games to Qionghai Island.

This is more unreliable than the story in the Arabian Nights, how can Vice Premier Yu Gangqiu not be surprised? If it wasn't Guo Zhuocheng who spoke, Yu Gangqiu, who was born in the military, must have kicked at the other party, and then spit out a word: "Get out!"

Guo Shucheng smiled and said, "Vice Premier Yu, I know that my ideas are crazy and very unreliable."

Yu Gangqiu glanced at Guo Zhuocheng, saw that his eyes were red, and he felt a little unbearable, after all, he was still a child, if he was an ordinary person, he was still at his age when his parents were currently spoiled. His tone softened slightly, but he still asked a little unpleasantly, "You know that too?"

Guo Zhuocheng didn't know that Yu Gangqiu had thought so much in his heart, and said: "Vice Premier Yu, although this matter seems unreliable, if this thing is really done, there will be too many benefits to my country. Risks and benefits go hand in hand, but the benefits are far greater than the risks, or the two are simply not proportional. All risks are within a controllable range or within an acceptable range, and the benefits will exceed our imagination. You are a general. When you encounter such a situation militarily, are you ready to fight or not? I'm sure you'll catch the fighter. Go all out and fight. ”

Yu Gangqiu sneered and said, "It's just your imagination now, do you think that if the risk is small, the risk will be small, and if you think the benefit is big, the benefit will be big?" As he spoke, he stopped walking towards the conference room, involuntarily walked to the side of the road, and at the same time gave a look to the secretary beside him.

The secretary quietly took a few steps back, leaving space for Guo Zhuocheng.

Guo Zhuocheng heard Yu Gangqiu's words and knew that he was moved. Actively drilled into the "trap" set by himself. So, he immediately climbed down the pole and said, "That's right, isn't this just to report to you and explain the risks and benefits to you?" Can you take a moment to listen to me, just half an hour? I can say responsibly if this is done. Its significance is comparable to that of the resumption of GATT negotiations. The benefits to the Chinese people are more direct and easier for the people to accept. ”

While speaking, Guo Shucheng greeted the secretary with a smile and apologized silently. The secretary hurriedly responded with a smile and said silently that it didn't matter.

The reason why Yu Gangqiu fell into Guo Shucheng's trap was not because he was stupid. Not to mention that Guo Zhuocheng is much smarter than him, playing this kind of game Guo Zhuocheng is impossible to play Yu Gangqiu even if he is a reborn, but Yu Gangqiu knows that Guo Zhuocheng is not an unreliable person, not a grandstanding guy, and he will not do anything without a purpose. And he also knew that this guy had a unique gaze. He saw the big things with great precision, as if he had seen the future with his own eyes.

It is precisely because he trusted Guo Zhuocheng in advance in his heart. So much so that no matter how outrageous Guo Zhuocheng said, he had to take it seriously, not to mention that now Guo Zhuocheng is completely solemn, which shows the importance of this matter, even if he wants to veto his proposal, he must listen carefully to his report, and then talk about it after careful thinking, or even if he disagrees and disagrees, he can't veto him all at once, and he has to report carefully to the supreme chief, and explain to the supreme chief the reason why he rejected Guo Zhuocheng's construction.

This is the great benefit of the great things that Guo Zhuocheng has done in the past few years, and it is determined by the strength of his ability. Guo Zhuocheng, this young man already has a pivotal position in China's political arena, and his opinions are no longer something that a certain bigwig can easily agree with or veto.

Yu Gangqiu still asked in disbelief: "Is the significance of letting Qionghai Island host the Olympic Games really so important that it can be compared with China's status as a signatory to the GATT?"

Guo Shucheng said embarrassedly: "Hehe, in order to attract your attention, in order to stop you from moving forward, I had to say something amazing." ......, of course, this matter cannot be compared with the restoration of the status of a party to the country, but it is indeed very important, and it is easier for the people to understand, and the benefits will be more appreciated in the near future. ”

Yu Gangqiu smiled and said, "As for this?......, boy, you have hung up my appetite, and if you don't say a ugly thing, I can't spare you." When the time comes, if Vice Premier Cheng Yun scolds me, you go and give me the top cylinder. To be honest, I don't think there is much significance in restoring China's status as a signatory to the GATT, at least at present, China's trade volume is not large, and although we can enjoy some benefits, it is not much. However, the economists led by you respect him so much, and Vice Premier Cheng Yun also looks like a great enemy, so I have to force myself to pay attention to it. I don't know much about the technical terms with you, and I have to go back and study them carefully. ”

Hearing this, Guo Zhuocheng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he could report to him carefully. While leading the way, he invited Yu Gangqiu to another reception room, and said, "Vice Premier Yu, do you need to be modest in front of me?" If, as you say, you don't know the meaning of it, you would support us so much? Such support for the resumption of negotiations between our countries and the contracting parties?"

Hearing Guo Zhuocheng "you" one after another, Yu Gangqiu said half-truthfully: "Guo Zhuocheng, I have a feeling that I have been dragged into the thief ship by you, and I speak so politely today, this matter must be very troublesome, right?" I must be asking this old guy to charge again, this time I guess I won't die and you will get rid of it, right? Hehe, I know that your kid has nothing to do, and he is either a traitor or a thief. ”

Guo Zhuocheng smiled: "Vice Premier Yu, you have a lot of adults, so you don't have to worry so much about my disrespect for you before, right?"

Yu Gangqiu waved his hand and said, "You kid, don't pour me ** soup, I will definitely do what I should do, and it is useless for you to say how much you shouldn't do." Don't just bite 'you', call me Lao Yu, or use 'you', I'm more at ease. I'm getting goosebumps from what you're talking about. As he spoke, he asked, "Is it really so important for us to host the Olympics?"

Guo Zhuocheng nodded.

Of course, no matter how important the significance of the Olympic Games is, it is not as important as China's resumption of the GATT signatory to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), because after all, the benefits enjoyed by entering the customs or joining the WTO are long-term and overall, and they are major events that determine the fortunes of the country. Although we will not see much benefit from joining the WTO at this time, and even have an impact on China's economy, when China's economy takes off and the overall scale of China's economy enters the world's advanced ranks, the benefits will be obvious.

As far as imports are concerned, after China enters the customs or joins the WTO, tariff and non-tariff barriers will be gradually lowered or reduced, and many foreign consumer goods of modern style and good quality, such as automobiles, telecommunications products, novel textiles, cosmetics, food, fruits, and other products, will enter the domestic market and will appear on the shelves of supermarkets at lower prices than they are now, and the Chinese people can enjoy the benefits of low-priced, high-quality goods. However, at present, the country is poor, and China does not welcome these low-priced and high-quality commodities to come in, but wants to find ways to find its own products, and it can be said that joining the GATT now has a greater negative impact.

Entering the customs or joining the WTO will impact some structural industries in China in the short term, will lead to a sharp decline in the profits of a large number of related enterprises, and some uncompetitive enterprises may be acquired, merged or even go bankrupt; Some people who do not have special skills and do not have an age advantage will face the pressure of finding employment. In the long run, China's entry into the customs or accession to the WTO will be conducive to the long-term prosperity of China's economy and the improvement of the market economic system, and will naturally also be conducive to the growth of employment and the development of the labor market.

In addition, entering the customs or joining the WTO will have a strong impact on China's economic system, and some government subsidies will be forced to be cut in accordance with the relevant agreements, although the government has reduced fiscal expenditures for this reason, but it is undoubtedly worse for the enterprises that have been subsidised by the state, and these enterprises are often those large state-owned enterprises that are not competitive, they are deep-rooted, and their connections are vast, and many provincial and ministerial-level leaders have come out of these large enterprises, and they are the biggest obstacles to the negotiations on customs entry. Either because of short-sightedness, or because of kindness at heart, or because of the fear of pushing thousands of workers into society and leading to social instability, these leaders are not very interested in entering the customs.

In addition, China and the Western countries are still in a relative honeymoon period, and the friendly attitude of the Western countries led by the United States toward China is much greater than before, and China does not have much commodity exports in the first place, and with the acquiescence of the United States and other Western countries, China's export pressure is not great now, so that they are not very enthusiastic about the resumption of the GATT, and only those economists, only those who are full of confidence in China's future, and only those who expect China's trade to explode will know the importance of entering the country or joining the WTO.

Guo Zhuocheng is one of them, and he is an active promoter of China's reunification with the GATT as much as possible, even if he does not hesitate to make some concessions on a certain salary. It must be taken by 1988 at the latest, in order to deal with the unprecedented crisis that may have arisen in the previous life.

However, in order to illustrate the significance of the Olympic Games being held on Qionghai Island, Guo Zhuocheng had no choice but to use the tiger skin as a banner and use the resumption of the GATT agreement, which had already attracted the attention of the central bigwigs, as a contrast, so as to get the attention of the central bigwigs. Don't let them veto it when they see it.
