Chapter 2121: The Dawn of Victory in the Financial National War
Xie Jincai told Pan Zhiren a few words. He turned to Xie Yixiang again and said, "Yixiang, the situation in Jiangkou City. You are also relatively clear. After you passed, there were two main things to grasp. The first. We will continue to control the flow of funds, especially private capital. The amount of private capital in Eguchi is large and active. At such a critical moment, we must not mess with ourselves. The second is to pay close attention to the completion of Jiangkou's economic transformation, strengthen its own hematopoietic function, and establish its own unique brand and advantages, so that it can exert greater autonomy and power in the future and not be controlled by others. ”
"Yes, Prime Minister."
Xie Yixiang replied respectfully.
Only then did Pan Zhiren know that the candidate for secretary of the Jiangkou City Party Committee, who had been secretly competing for a long time, had finally settled. I never imagined that it would be Xie Yixiang who became the secretary of the Jiangkou Municipal Party Committee.
Xie Yixiang is an alternate member of the Central Committee.
A thought of this. Pan Zhiren couldn't help but glance at Liu Jun again. Yoo Jun smiled and nodded.
Pan Zhiren saw a very indifferent determination on the face of the old leader.
It should be said that Liu Jun has been as strong as ever in the adjustment of the provincial party committee team of Province D.
Originally, I thought that Zhao Xianjue would take over the post of executive vice governor, but he went to Yidong, and the executive vice governor was replaced by Tan Qigong. Some conventions have all been broken. Perhaps this change is not only Zhao Xianjue's transfer, but also a new precedent for the future political layout of Province D.
In detail, this is also very beneficial to Province D itself. No matter how rich a province is, the cadre team is always the key. If we do not increase exchanges and introduce new blood, we will gradually lose our vitality and fall into the quagmire of self-centeredness and empiricism, which will be important for the development of Province D. There is no benefit.
Secondly, Pan Zhiren's appointment as a member of the Standing Committee of Province D and vice governor Xie Yixiang took charge of Jiangkou City, which can be regarded as a move by Yan Liu's strong penetration into the political territory of Province D.
Prior to this, Yan Liu's voice in Province D was relatively weak. Yoo Joon can't be counted among them. After all, his status is different, and the secretary of the provincial party committee of Province D cannot always be a member of the same faction. After Yoo Jun leaves Province D, the most important thing is how much influence this faction can continue to exert in Province D.
If Pan Zhiren's appointment is still a little reluctant, Xie Yixiang's appointment as secretary of the Jiangkou Municipal Party Committee is a thunderous momentum.
As far as Pan Zhiren knows, as early as three years ago, the big group had pushed Xie Yixiang out to prepare for the position of member of the Central Committee, and later, because of the need for balance, they retreated to the second, Xie Yixiang and Liao Shunli, the two former secretaries of Liu Jincai, were both elected as alternate members of the Central Committee. But in terms of use, it is going to the ministerial position.
Liao Shunli has officially been appointed governor of Jianghan Province this year. Xie Yixiang is also rumored to go one step further in the near future and become a ministerial-level member of a ministry and commission of the State Council.
It is estimated that the competition for the secretary of the Jiangkou City CPC Committee is too fierce, and cadres with ordinary qualifications cannot prevail in the competition, so the large group simply sent Xie Yixiang out. Regardless of seniority or experience. Xie Yixiang was second to none among all the contenders, and as a "minister-elect," he ran for the post of secretary of the Jiangkou Municipal Party Committee, and at once he beat all other competitors.
It can be seen from this that the position of secretary of the Jiangkou Municipal Party Committee is very important in Liu Jun's mind, and he is determined not to let this position fall into the hands of other factions.
As for saying that Xie Yixiang and Pan Zhiren used to strengthen Liu Jun's right to speak, it is not true.
With Liu Jun's current supreme prestige in Province D, there is no need to do this at all. Yoo Joon's original intention. It is still to cultivate more reserve talents for this faction, and also to prepare for his future transfer out of Province D.
Xie Yixiang, Pan Zhiren, Yu Huaixin, Mei Wenhua and others, coupled with a group of young cadres trained by Liu Jun in D Province in recent years, are enough to form a decisive force and greatly increase their voice in D Province. Of course, when the financial war is about to come to an end. Strong control of Jiangkou, the bridgehead of reform and opening up, is also one of Liu Jun's layouts.
did not hesitate to send Xie Yixiang, an alternate member of the Central Committee standing on the threshold of the ministerial level, to Jiangkou City, but Liu Jun spent a lot of money.
"The audit work of Zhiren D Province. The difficulty is much greater than that of Q Province, and you have to be mentally prepared. ”
After the old man was finished, Liu Jun said with a smile.
Not to mention anything else, but the total economic volume of province D is not comparable to that of province A, and the various business activities are much more complex, and even many village-level administrative agencies. There are a lot of money accounts, which means that not only the workload has increased, but the difficulty of the work has also increased a lot, and Pan Zhiren has to be in charge of other work, and the burden on his shoulders is really not light.
Pan Zhiren hurriedly replied: "Yes, secretary, I have already prepared for this.
Liu Jincai said: "As long as you do everything with your heart, it is not difficult." ”
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
Pan Zhiren replied respectfully.
Liu Jun said: "The side of Province D is already vacant. The two of you should hand over the work as soon as possible and strive to report to Province D as soon as possible. ”
Xie Yixiang and Pan Zhiren nodded in agreement.
This visit did not last long, about an hour later, Xie Yixiang and Pan Zhiren got up to leave, and Liu Jun personally sent them to the door and waved goodbye.
Back in the living room, Liu Jincai was still leaning on the sofa, his eyebrows frowning slightly. It seems that there are still some important issues on the table.
"Xiaojun, if you increase your holdings of 100 billion dollars of U.S. Treasury bonds. What do you think? ”
See the son sitting down opposite. Liu Jincai asked slowly.
Liu Jun smiled slightly and said, "It depends on what you can get in exchange for this 100 billion dollars." As long as it's cost-effective, it's no problem. ”
Liu Jun has always been very aware of the country's financial trend. Before the outbreak of the financial crisis, we decisively withdrew from the virtual asset markets in Europe and the United States, and basically did not suffer much loss, and the vast majority of nearly $2 trillion in foreign exchange reserves were safely withdrawn. After more than two years of operation. The strategy of the republic to open up other bases for the supply of energy and resources. The implementation has been relatively successful, the Central Asian base is gradually becoming more stable, China's diplomatic relations with several countries in the Central Asian region have also been further strengthened, and a relationship similar to that of a strategic cooperative partner has been gradually established. Penetration into Africa and Southeast Asia is also being further strengthened.
It should be said that this approach has won the full approval of many small and medium-sized developing countries, and the developed Western countries, led by the United States, have also been held back. The reason is simple. On the contrary, in order to stimulate global economic growth, we have spent a considerable part of our foreign exchange reserves, and for three consecutive years, China's trade deficit has continued to widen, and the import of materials and equipment has surged.
Of course, the objects and partners of our trade are no longer limited to developed countries. Basically, it imports energy and resources from developing countries and technology and equipment from developed countries, vigorously cultivates domestic enterprises, stimulates domestic demand, and stimulates the development of the domestic market.
Huge foreign exchange reserves are being turned into tangible products and growing domestic productivity.
This is exactly what Liu Jun wanted to achieve when he tried his best to promote the financial national war.
At the same time, the strategy of private capital going out is also bearing fruit. Many potential companies that have been affected by the financial crisis and have difficulty in operating have been acquired by our private capital. The tentacles of the republic have literally reached into the backyards of Western countries. In the early stage of reform and opening up, the scene of foreign capital constantly encroaching on our national industry has now reappeared. It's just that the subject and the object have been reversed. In the past, people kept buying and swallowing up our potential enterprises, and now it is our turn to swallow up their potential enterprises.
Some changes that can't be seen or touched. But it's happening.
Because without the "generous aid" of the Republic, the economic crisis in Europe and the United States has not been alleviated for a long time. Facing the possibility of a second bottom. At the beginning of this year, debt crises broke out in EU countries one after another, and the euro area was mired in debt.
Tihe country, which has developed steadily and steadily, has increasingly become a "source of hope" for the whole world.
At this moment, the United States can only be forced to put down its arrogant shelf and strengthen communication and negotiations with us. The so-called increase in the holdings of US Treasury bonds of $100 billion was put forward on this basis. The United States urgently needs economic assistance from the Republic.
"Second Bretton Woods system!"
Liu Jincai said in a deep voice. The reborn yanai bar is provided by the city.
The so-called Bretton Woods system refers to the international monetary system centered on the US dollar after World War II. The General Agreement on Tariffs, the predecessor of the World Trade Organization, is a supplement to the Bretton Woods Conference, and together with the various agreements adopted by the Bretton Woods Conference, collectively known as the Bretton Woods system, that is, the multilateral economic system with foreign exchange liberalization, capital liberalization, and trade liberalization as the main contents constitutes the core content of the capitalist bloc, and is a system for realizing US economic hegemony in accordance with the principles formulated by the United States.
The Bretton Lane system is based on gold, with the US dollar as the main international reserve currency. The U.S. dollar is pegged directly to gold, and the currencies of various countries are pegged to the U.S. dollar, and can be exchanged for gold at the official rate of $35 an ounce. Under the Bretton Woods system, the exchange of the US dollar for gold and the implementation of an adjustable pegged exchange rate system by countries are the two pillars that make up this monetary system. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is the central institution for maintaining the normal operation of this system, and it has three major functions: monitoring international exchange rates, providing international credit, and coordinating international monetary relations.
But there is a fatal flaw in this system, that is, it uses a country's currency (the US dollar) as the main reserve asset, which is inherently unstable. Because only by relying on the long-term trade deficit of the United States can the dollar be dispersed around the world and other countries can obtain the supply of dollars. But this will inevitably affect people's confidence in the US dollar. causing a dollar crisis. If the United States maintains a balance of payments, it will cut off the supply of international reserves, resulting in a shortage of international solvency. This is an insurmountable contradiction.
From the late fifties. As the competitiveness of the U.S. economy gradually weakened, its balance of payments began to deteriorate, and there was a global "dollar surplus", and countries have thrown dollars to exchange for gold. There began to be a massive outflow of gold from the United States. The Nixon administration was forced to announce the abandonment of the "gold standard" of the US dollar at the official exchange rate of 35 US dollars per ounce for gold, and to implement the free floating of gold against the US dollar, marking the actual collapse of the Bretton Woods system.
However, the two major organizations established by the Bretton Woods system, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, continue to play this crucial role in international trade.
After the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, a new financial system was not established, so the world monetary system is now in a state of actual chaos.
The European Union had the ambition to take advantage of the fact that the United States was weakened by the financial crisis to forcefully promote the euro as the world currency and replace it with the dollar. Two years ago, it was proposed to establish a second Bretton Woods system to readjust the rights and obligations among the world's major economies and play a more important role in international affairs.
That time. The U.S. responds toughly. The impact on the EU has been unsuccessful.
However, now, the EU is also unable to protect itself, and the debt crises that have erupted one after another have caused the euro to plummet, and it has not yet competed with the dollar, and it has automatically exited.
Liu Jun's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said, "What are the characteristics of this second Bretton Woods system?" ”
"Rebuilding the world monetary system. But the United States is no longer the main one, or the United States is no longer the sole master of the monetary organization. At present, there is a motion to list the US dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen and the renminbi as the world's circulating currencies and fix the exchange rate in order to stabilize the international currency market and exchange rate market, which continue to be volatile. ”
Liu Jincai gave a simple explanation to his son.
Liu Jun's eyes lit up, and he muttered, "You can try this." Whether it succeeds or not, it can at least shake the hegemonic position of the United States. ”
Facts have proved that once a certain hegemonic position is shaken, it is not ordinarily difficult to recover it in the future.
The establishment of a second Bretton Woods system is obviously not an overnight effort, and it will take a long time to negotiate, perhaps one day when the negotiations are successful. The world economy has long since recovered. But that's not the point of Yoo's concern. Judging from the current motion, Western countries have already intended to make more concessions to the Republic and are ready to accept the renminbi as one of the world's circulating currencies and freely convertible.
Other words. That is, the economic status of the republic has been recognized by everyone, and it is finally hoped that he will have the right to dialogue on an equal footing, which is precisely the "right to master the rule-making" or at least the right to participate in the rule-making, which Yoo Jun desperately desires.
This is crucial for the rise of the country.
Always in a passive position, always adapt to the rules of the game set by other countries, and never get rid of the fate of being manipulated.
Perhaps this second Bretton Woods system will never be achieved, but as long as the unipolar position of the United States is shaken, other countries will have more opportunities. The United States will not be able to prevent China from further playing its due role in the international community.
Financial National War. It has reached the dawn of victory.
