Chapter Two Thousand and Six: Careful Planning
"Secretary Liu, that's a good point!"
In the large box on the top floor of the capital chain store of the Qiushui Hotel, Vice Premier Guo Qiliang said with a little emotion.
In fact, when Liu Jun said those heroic eight words at the Politburo meeting, everyone was shocked.
The future of the country is here to fight!
Liu Jun has regarded the huge crisis in the eyes of ordinary people as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is Yoo Joon's style, moving forward bravely and never backing down!
Liu Jun smiled and remained silent.
This sentence is not the original text on the "speech", and there is not even this sentence on the speech at all, it was added by Liu Jun at the end. He himself, first of all, was inspired by his own plan, full of pride and ambition.
After the meeting, Guo Qiliang immediately called Liu Jun and asked him to meet and talk in detail.
Of course, the meeting place was set at the Qiushui Hotel, which was proposed by Liu Jun. This is the first time he has met and talked with Guo Qiliang alone, and Liu Jun feels that in this environment, he may be able to create a good atmosphere for conversation.
Regarding Liu Jun's proposal, Guo Qiliang did not object. It doesn't matter where the conversation is, what matters is what is communicated.
After Liu Jun spoke, He Yanan, secretary of the Pearl City Party Committee, who spoke next, expressed his complete agreement with the views of the premier and Liu Jun. She believes that this is indeed a good opportunity that is hard to come by and must be firmly seized. He even gave the example of the rise of the United States as the world's largest power after World War II.
It is true that even if the United States and the European Union were to have a huge financial crisis and trigger a Great Depression, as Liu Jun predicted, the destructive power and effect of the Great Depression would be far from comparable to that of World War II. But it's always an opportunity. If you make good use of it, you will get it very richly.
Surprisingly, Qu Haojin also agreed with Liu Jun's opinion.
But it's normal to think about it, on such a principled issue of right and wrong, Qu Haojin has never been ambiguous. The so-called distinction between camps and factions is not worth mentioning in the face of national interests and the future of the nation.
Qu Haojin is a person who is recognized as majestic in the new Standing Committee, and he has a lot of similarities with Yan Yucheng.
As vice premier in charge of financial work, Guo Qiliang has a keen grasp of this point. The content of Liu Jincai's report at the Politburo meeting is clear to several vice premiers, but the content of Liu Jun's report is not so clear to everyone. Except for the part of the economic status of Province D, the information was sent in advance, and the latter paragraph was completely improvised by Liu Jun and added temporarily. Naturally, this "temporary" refers to the timing of his elaboration, and as far as the speech itself is concerned, Yoo Jun must have been well prepared.
Guo Qiliang felt the need for more in-depth communication with Liu Jun to improve the entire "battle plan".
Liu Jun made it very clear that this is not an ordinary economic issue, but a contest between countries. When the United States has taken action against us and other countries, including their allies, it has always been "one government and businessman," mobilizing all the forces of the government and the private sector to attack with all their might. Then in the next "war", we must also mobilize all our forces, form a whole, and press on all fronts in order to obtain the greatest results.
As the leader of the national economy, Province D must play a major role in this battle.
There are a few light side dishes on the table, and there is a fruit salad, while the two Politburo members drink green tea and occasionally pick up a dish with chopsticks.
The waiters were far away, and they were not called, so they did not dare to approach casually.
The personnel who can be assigned to serve in the large boxes on the top floor have undergone the most rigorous training.
"Secretary Liu, I fully agree with the idea of the Prime Minister and you. Let's discuss together, how to improve this plan and fight a beautiful battle? ”
Guo Qiliang didn't have too much politeness, and went straight to the topic.
Liu Jun nodded and said, "Yes, Premier Guo, I also have this idea." This is a holistic action, and the sub-rule is weak. If they fight separately and do not have unified coordination and command, let alone win, they are afraid that they will be implicated at that time. Therefore, I believe that the general outline of this plan is to establish a unified command headquarters to fully command the operation. ”
Guo Qiliang didn't bow his head immediately, thought about it carefully, and then said, "Well, it makes sense." This command will definitely be led by Premier Liu, and a think tank will also be formed to play the role of a staff officer. And there must be someone in charge of this work. ”
There is no doubt that such a big move will be presided over by the State Council, and it is only natural that Liu Jincai will take the lead. In fact, the think tank proposed by Guo Qiliang also contains the meaning of "special leadership office". Since it is a war, it is necessary to have a command center and a staff headquarters, and sometimes the role of the staff is even greater than that of the command center.
"I fully agree with Premier Guo's opinion. The composition of this leadership group is not much more expensive. It is necessary to be single-minded. Liu Junjing gave Guo Qiliang a cigarette, lit it for him personally, lit one himself, and said slowly: "As for the specific plan, I think there are several aspects that are crucial......
Guo Qiliang said: "I would like to hear about it. ”
"First, it is to calm the inside. This is the most important thing. If there is no internal appeasement, there will be no combat capability to speak of externally. Although it is said that we have not joined the WTO for a long time, we have been carrying out reform and opening up for more than 20 years, and our economy has developed rapidly, and we have basically completed more than half of our integration with the world. Once this economic crisis erupts, it will not be possible to completely implicate our country. The financial sector, in particular, is most likely to be implicated in the context of increasing global integration. I think Premier Guo should have a deep understanding of the real situation of the domestic financial industry. ”
Liu Jun said slowly, his tone was relatively low.
Guo Qiliang is in charge of the financial field, and Liu Jincai has high hopes for him. After Guo Qiliang took office, he immediately began to investigate the situation in the financial system. After Qiu Qingchuan's vigorous rectification, the situation of the financial system, especially the state-owned commercial banks, has indeed improved to a considerable extent compared with before, but it still does not allow for optimism.
In the final analysis, the CBRC is a supervisory body, not a regulatory body. The central bank is the main manager of state-owned commercial banks and banking institutions. No matter how vigorous Qiu Qingchuan is, he can only grasp the typical examples, and pull out the few early birds who are the most unspeakable to "behead the public". To a certain extent, the high inflation of bad debts and non-performing loans has been curbed. However, it is still very obvious that the banking industry is directly involved in business activities and even becomes the main speculator.
"That's right. At present, it has become a common phenomenon for our banks to participate in business activities, especially to participate in foreign financial investment and domestic real estate and securities industries, almost all banks are involved, and the funds involved are also astronomical. ”
Guo Qiliang nodded, his brows furrowed, and he was deeply worried.
Liu Jun sighed and said, "There are also historical reasons for this, as well as policy reasons. For example, the ratio of our foreign exchange reserves, in the form of US Treasury bonds, is too high. The amount of money invested abroad in an attempt to preserve and increase its value is too large. In addition to the banking sector, a large number of state-owned enterprises are also involved. If these issues are not resolved, we will not be able to deal with the financial crisis at all, let alone form a counterweight to the United States and other Western countries. Therefore, the first step to take is to withdraw capital! ”
Guo Qiliang asked: "Is it too late to start divesting now?" ”
"Time is tight, but I can't help it. Before the financial crisis erupts in full, there will be as much as it can be withdrawn. The more we withdraw, the less we will lose in the future and the stronger the countermeasures. ”
Liu Jun said firmly.
Guo Qiliang did not immediately agree with Liu Jun's opinion, and after a while, he said: "If we withdraw too much and too quickly, it will inevitably arouse their vigilance, and it may cause panic and accelerate the outbreak of the financial crisis." ”
Liu Jun said: "It is indeed possible, but this issue is not very important. As long as they are well planned and executed, they will be difficult to detect in the early stages. When they find out, even if they cause panic or even hasten the outbreak of the financial crisis, it will not do us much harm. To be prepared to attack unprepared, to have a mind to calculate or not, the initiative is in me! The faster and more violently their crisis erupts, the less time they have left to respond, and the fewer options they have to deal with. Maybe it's more beneficial for us. ”
"Makes sense!"
Guo Qiliang nodded.
Liu Jun snuffed out the cigarette butt, took a sip of the teacup, and said: "The second step is to accelerate the adjustment of our domestic industrial policy and accelerate the speed of economic transformation." The dependence of the national economy and basic industries on European and American countries should be reduced as much as possible. We need to stock up on strategic materials, such as oil, natural gas, steel, non-ferrous metals, etc., as much as possible, and at the same time strengthen our ability to supply ourselves. I am ready to immediately embark on economic transformation in Province D to reduce the dependence of the economy of Province D on foreign exchange earnings. Be prepared to respond. ”
Guo Qiliang smiled, then frowned again, and said: "Secretary Liu, the adjustment of industrial institutions is a long-term work, and it is difficult to adjust all of them in a hurry. Especially in the coastal provinces of Province D, Mingzhu, Donghai and Province F, there are too many large and small enterprises that earn foreign exchange through exports, and they are blooming everywhere, which is not only an economic problem, but also involves a problem of social stability and unity, and we must be cautious. ”
"Yes, Premier Guo's reminder is very correct. But it's still the same sentence, doing it is better than not doing it well. It is possible to adjust to whichever step is which, and minimize dependence on foreign markets. Now the strong adjustment, although there will be certain difficulties, but it is also an opportunity, which can help some enterprises to make up their minds. There is pressure to be motivated. As for maintaining social stability and unity, this is the basic duty of the party committees and the government. If you can't do this well, you should be punished! ”
Liu Jun smiled slightly and said.
