Of course, in order to obtain more profits, in order to let farmers have more income, Guo Zhuocheng still tries his best to sell vegetables and fruits abroad, Hong Kong, Macao and other regions.

The profit obtained from selling one pound of vegetables and fruits abroad is equivalent to selling dozens of pounds to domestic customers. For example, selling a pound of cabbage to a domestic customer is only a mere three cents, while selling it to European and American countries can be as high as 0.6 US dollars, which is more than 2 yuan. Of course, this has to take into account the cost of transportation, but after subtracting these transportation and storage, the profit is still more than ten times different. The peasants' incomes will still have to increase by more than two times, and the profits of the companies that purchase and sell fruits and vegetables will increase several times, and the taxes collected by the political axe from them will naturally rise by dozens of times that of the past.

This is not because the tax rate is too high, but because the previous base was too small, and in the saying that the whole people "take grain as the key link", there are really not many fruits and vegetables shipped out of Qionghai Island.

In the construction of the expressway, Guo Zhuocheng also deliberately asked the construction team to build a section of the highway, that is, after building a section of the highway, the trucks transporting vegetables began to transport this section, and the companies that purchased vegetables and fruits collected the fruits and vegetables in the hands of the farmers on both sides of the highway and quickly transported them to the domestic mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, and foreign countries.

At the beginning, Guan Yingjie and Xiong Huizhong were very worried, worried that Guo Zhuocheng's use of the farmland where grain was planted to grow fruits and vegetables was a kind of capitalist restoration and a way back. Not only is this likely to provoke strong criticism from the higher-level organizations, and they are likely to be dismissed from their posts or even imprisoned, but they are also worried that those peasants will have no food to eat after they switch their rice fields to vegetables and fruits, and they will oppose the political axe and lead them to flee the famine.

However, with the export of a large number of vegetables and fruits, in less than a year, great results were seen, peasants' incomes increased substantially, and peasants were smiling and praising the party's good policies.

As for Chu Xuji and Wen Baoheng, two of Guo Zhuocheng's cronies, they have never doubted Guo Zhuocheng's ability at all, and have always supported them clearly, while Ye Zhang and Zhu Zanwei have been gritted their teeth to support although they are uneasy in their hearts.

It can be said that there was no obstacle to the implementation of this bold policy, and Guo Zhuocheng's measures were resolutely implemented. As for the low-level organizations, they did not oppose it even more, because they saw the drawbacks of the previous policy more clearly, and they understood better the advantages of Guo Zhuocheng's new policy: When the peasants have money, they can completely use the money from selling fruits and vegetables to buy grain, and they can not only buy grain from the interior of the country, but also from abroad; no matter how the price is calculated, the peasants who grow vegetables and fruits will benefit, and the benefits will definitely be obvious.

It was only at this time that all the officials discovered that Qionghai Island turned out to be a cornucopia, and that blindly growing grain was the worst way in the past, and that the pursuit of "taking grain as the key link" in the past was wrong and unsuitable at least in Qionghai Island.

When the development of Qionghai Island was in full swing, the Supreme Chief also paid an official visit to Wèn at the invitation of the President of the United States. Before leaving, the secret letter written by Guo Zhuocheng to the supreme chief and others was also delivered to them, and the central leadership carefully studied it. Originally, Yu Gangqiu proposed to the supreme leader to let Guo Zhuocheng participate in the visit, and several other leaders also suggested that Guo Zhuocheng, who is familiar with international affairs, participate, but the supreme leader vetoed: "Let him get Qionghai Island first." He had the opportunity to help him wade through the water first. If it's right, we'll keep going, and if it's wrong, we'll change. In doing so, we can build experience and lessons for him and their young people. ”

The Supreme Chief's second visit to the United States shocked the world, especially the Soviet Union. Before leaving, the Soviet journalist turned to the Chinese foreign minister and asked: "What is China's intention in visiting the United States?" Is it that you, China, have surrendered to the United States and asked the United States to deal with us, the Soviet Union? ”

Foreign Minister Qi Pengduo sneered: "The Soviet Union? Is it necessary for us to unite with the United States? In this world, what country can force us China to submit? ”

However, the Chinese delegation did not make much of a splash during the U.S. visit. I don't know if it was because of the fear of provoking the Soviet Union, or because China and the United States already had differences, the two sides did not spend much time on the world situation, let alone form a strategic alliance against the Soviet Union, and even condemned the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and its wording was not much different from the previous ones. On the world's hotspot issues, there are also different rhetoric, and they are not more unified than before.

During the visit, the delegation was more involved in economic affairs, such as visiting the Motor City in the United States, visiting the American farms, visiting the electronics factories in the United States, visiting the municipal engineering sewage treatment projects in the United States, and so on.

Another action that also attracted attention: for the first time, China's top chief came forward to invite the leaders of a well-known American company to dinner. This kind of behavior usually occurs when Western heads of state visit Wèn, but this time, China took the initiative to invite those people to participate, which surprised many people:

"Is it true that China has begun to focus only on economic construction and people's livelihood?"

"Impossible, why is the United States in such a hurry to invite them here? Drink champagne? ”

"No way, they must have a lot of secrets in private."

…… While the world's media and newspapers have voiced their doubts and speculations, the Chinese delegation has continued to go its own way, and their activities continue to revolve around the economy and trade.

This move of inviting entrepreneurs to attend the dinner is naturally a proposal made by Guo Zhuocheng, a reborn person, to the supreme leader, and it is also a bargaining chip issued by China to the United States and other Western countries: It is okay for you to invite us China to jointly deal with the Soviet Union, but you must be more relaxed in investment, let more enterprises invest in China, and transfer more technology to us, so that we will come together with you.

Many of these invited enterprises were drafted by Guo Zhuocheng, including world-famous chemical enterprises, shipbuilding enterprises, and iron and steel smelting enterprises...... Of course, as the Chinese delegation spends more time in the United States, some exciting, happy, worried, and frightening moves between China and the United States have slowly surfaced.

As the time approached the National Day, the Supreme Leader successfully completed his visit to the United States and returned with a full load of results, including: China's "China Plan" signed an agreement with the United States on the joint development of an anti-missile missile defense system; China and the United States signed a agreement to further introduce new technologies such as steel smelting, chemical industry, shipbuilding, large-scale integrated circuit manufacturing, automobiles, and aircraft. China imported sewage and waste treatment technologies from the United States; The United States and China jointly develop new large business jets; China and the United States jointly funded the establishment of the Hybrid Rice and Hybrid Corn Research Institute; The two countries signed a mutual trust agreement on safe shipping in the South China Sea; The two countries signed an agreement on the exchange of space aircraft technology; The two countries signed a memorandum of understanding on the world arms trade, especially the trade in sophisticated weapons.

At the same time, the negotiation process for China's reinstatement of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was signed...... Although the two countries did not sign a strategic alliance agreement or even discuss exchanges between the two militaries, they still caused an uproar in the world. Some people of insight have felt China's strength from these cooperations, and they know more clearly: China will become strong!

Guo Zhuocheng, who learned of these acts from relevant sources, was very happy and was full of confidence in China's future, and even if he did nothing now, China would be much more developed and powerful than in his previous life.

Guo is most concerned about China's reinstatement of its status as a signatory to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). GATT may not be familiar to many people, but when it comes to F) and the World Bank (WB), it is known as the three pillars of the world's economic development. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is the predecessor of the World Trade Organization (WTO). After the end of World War II, in order to promote the "liberalization" of international trade, the United States proposed to the United Nations Economic and Social Council to convene a conference on world trade and employment and establish a world trade organization. In 1946, the Preparatory Committee for the United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment, composed of 19 countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, drafted the Charter of the United Nations International Trade Organization.

The Havana Charter was adopted at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment, held in Havana, Cuba, in November 1947. At the same time, the United States invited 23 countries, including China, to conduct multilateral negotiations on tariff concessions in accordance with the contents of the Charter on international trade policy, adopted the contents of the Havana Charter on international trade policy, and signed the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which came into effect on a provisional basis on January 1 of the following year.

China was one of the founding countries of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) - that is, the signatories - but the Kuomintang political axe representatives who represented China at the meeting at the time. When China returned to the United Nations in 1972 and Taiwan's Kuomintang was expelled from the United Nations, Taiwan's representation in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) disappeared.

However, Western countries refused to recognize the representative status of China's political axe in it because of political interests, and also because of the lack of attention to trade at home, and China was really difficult at that time, the trade volume was very small, and the sales were basically resource-based products, such as oil, iron ore, timber, precious metals, etc., and the buying and selling of other commodities was negligible. For a combination of reasons, China was forced to relinquish its status as a member of the State Party, and some of the privileges of its members were frozen.
