The city of Nanjing is becoming more and more prosperous. In the construction of the new city, the framework of the large-scale city wall system was still left, and the city wall system with classic shapes was completely preserved. The walls that were featureless and obstructed to traffic were demolished and the gates were preserved. The whole city has become much larger.

Places of interest, including the examination hall for the imperial examinations in Nanjing, have been preserved, but the few famous streets have been replaced by ordinary buildings with five- and six-story buildings, and the history of this historic city is well integrated with the new era, giving the whole city a unique beauty.

The central government is in Nanjing, and it is impossible for the central office to use the old palace for a long time. Everyone knows that Wei Ze hates the bad habit of the old era of poor strategism, and if the central offices are located in the center of the city, even if he does not engage in the kind of bad things such as closing the streets and stopping pedestrians after going out, it will not play a positive role in the security of the central government, the convenience of official business, and the convenience of residents. The new central office was not located inside the city, but in a newly opened area outside the city.

The SASAC is the exclusive building in this area. In the conference room on the third floor, Pang Congcong, chairman of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, put a report on the conference table. On the cover of the report was written "The Latest Application for Additional State Investment in the Second Half of 1869", and this report was not only owned by Pang Congcong, but also by other participants. Pang Congcong said with a smile: "I ask the comrades to face those guys who claim that the state does not attach importance to industrial investment, do not explain anything, do not argue, and the province is the truth." ”

Everyone in the SASAC knew what Pang Congcong meant, and by June alone, the budget had basically run out. The most recent additions to the government are not local but from the central government, and nearly 90 percent of the applications are for railway construction and port investment. From south to north, from east to west. There are a lot of infrastructure projects going on in China's vast territory.

"Director Pang, I think the railway and the port are very profitable." One of the vice-chairmen asked questions that he did not quite understand.

"It's very profitable. When I was in Guangdong, the railways and ports were very profitable, and they still made a lot of money. Pang Congcong replied, without waiting for the committee member's relaxed expression, Pang Congcong continued with a straight face, "But the money invested in this investment will take five to ten years to earn back." So you don't talk about the railway investment in the current year, completion in the second year, and money in the third year. It's not like that at all, and there's no such thing as zài. ”

"But I heard that Guangdong doesn't have a port and a railway that makes money in the second year?" The committee member did not flinch lightly, these committee members came from all over the world, and a female chief pressed on his head, and everyone may not immediately bow down.

Pang Congcong calmly responded to the challenges of her subordinates, and she said in a clear manner: "Guangdong can make money, and Guangxi can also make money, because there are actually enough products to be exported locally." However, the feudal system at that time prevented these products from being sold smoothly. In the previous paragraph, you can see the repetition of the previous problem in Guangdong. There are feudal wharves in every place, and when you get to a site on the way, you have to go to the top of the mountain. Do you want to worship the mountain empty-handed? Guangdong, Guangxi, and this gang have already been killed once. Get rid of those people, so that there is a simple origin, transportation, and sales. Not only is it convenient to export the products from the place of origin, but also the country and the workers make money. There is no resistance to the sales industry in these areas, production, transportation, and sales. All three links have achieved minimal waste. Therefore, the wharf and the railway immediately made money, but it was not because the wharf and the railway were built, and this money was originally made by everyone, and it was stripped away layer by layer. ”

After finishing speaking, Pang Congcong saw that no one came out to refute, and waited for a moment before she continued: "Not only Guangdong and Guangxi, but also the Yangtze River Basin. There is already a lot of production capacity here, and the role of railways, docks, and shipping is only to turn the production capacity of these areas into sales. You can look at Marx's book, which is clearly stated in Capital. It's a thrilling jump in the commodity. The Chinese market is too big, as long as the exploitation is canceled and the transportation cost is reduced, everyone's purchasing power will immediately increase a lot. But that's not the case with our additional investment now. If you look at the latest Northeast Railway, according to the report, the hell is sparsely populated, and if you want to make full use of the land, you have to emigrate. Reliable traditional methods of resettlement are too inefficient, so the only way to improve the efficiency of resettlement and development is to build railways. This kind of railway investment is still counting on making money in the next year, which is really not realistic. ”

The people who can enter the SASAC are not rookies, and many cadres are not unclear about this issue, but very clear. They didn't take the initiative to speak, firstly, it was inappropriate to steal Pang Congcong's limelight, and secondly, they also wanted to see Pang Congcong's ability. In fact, a group of views are gradually emerging in the financial circles of the new government, that is, to concentrate resources on the construction of major cities. Combined with the theory of economic belts put forward by Wei Ze, this point of view has become a focus on the construction of the Pearl River Economic Circle, the Yangtze River Economic Circle, and the Beijing-Tianjin Economic Circle, and all resources are tilted towards these three regions. As for investments that have nothing to do with the three economic circles, they can be saved.

Zhou Gaoming, deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, couldn't help but say: "I think many of the development plans in Northeast China have nothing to do with railways, and the same is true for several other projects. Nowadays, the purpose of many projects is to fight wars, so building major projects first can also save a lot of money. Wouldn't it be better if the money was invested in areas where it was needed more? ”

Being loyal to Wei Ze is not the same as subservient to Wei Ze, and a more reasonable and effective promotion of China's development is Wei Ze's goal, as well as the goal of the Restoration Party and the new government. This was not raised by the comrades below, but by Weese. It's hard to say how the lower echelons look at it, but the upper echelons know that flattery is harmful to their promotion. The bureaucracy is like that, as long as the system allows them to do good things and do the right thing, and provides such an environment, they will definitely do good things and do the right thing. Vice versa.

After Pang Congcong took office at the SASAC, he quickly discovered the characteristics of the SASAC. Everyone hopes to be able to achieve good results in the near future, and in such a department, there is no status without results. Therefore, these people are undoubtedly what the Tao Te Ching says: "The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency by losing more than is lost." The way of man, otherwise, the loss is not enough to give more than enough. "Building the core economic circle stronger is the easiest job to achieve results. It cannot be said that the views of comrades with such an attitude are incorrect, and when Pang Congcong was governor of Guangdong Province, he could definitely come up with more reasons to strengthen investment in the Pearl River Delta and strengthen the dominant position of the Pearl River Delta.

When Pang Congcong was the governor of Guangdong Province, she could only consider the interests of Guangdong, but now that Pang Congcong is the chairman of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, she must look at the problem from a national perspective. The latter sentence of the Tao Te Ching is more meaningful at this time, "Who can have more than enough to serve the world?" Only those who are Taoist. ”

In the face of a group of smart people, it is easy when everyone thinks the same way, everyone knows the basic rules of doing so, and the cooperation can be described as smooth as a cloud. When people think differently, the work is very difficult. The smarter the person, the more he adheres to his own ideas, and it is really the three armies that can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition.

Pang Congcong asked the staff to paste a picture on the big blackboard in the conference room, she got up and pointed to the lines on the map and began to tell, "Look at these lines, our financial revenue is really two years after expanding the territory, of course, the premise is that this time does not continue to expand the liberated areas. The fastest stage is two years after reaching the south of the Huai River. In the past two years, fiscal revenue has increased the fastest. Why, because palm oil, rubber, coconut peripheral products are starting to enter the market in large quantities. Of course, the comrades also saw the rapid increase in income in the year of the capture of Beijing, that, unlike other fluctuations, was that we seized too many things in Beijing. ”

Hearing this, many comrades couldn't help but laugh a few times. From a national point of view, direct and large-scale acquisition of spoils of war is indeed the best means of fiscal surplus. Therefore, the attitude of the comrades of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission towards the crow can only be described as hateful.

"As I said earlier, there are three reasons for this situation, the first is that we have fully unleashed the production capacity of the newly liberated areas, and the state-led export has increased our tax revenue. The second is that after the land reform, the peasants' enthusiasm for production has increased, and they have also had the financial resources to purchase the products produced by the industrial enterprises in the old liberated areas, and the state's tax revenue on this part of the sales has naturally increased. The third is the expansion of overseas territories and the return on investment. There are many factors in this area, including the fact that immigration has reduced the population pressure in our southern provinces, and the expansion of the entire economic system caused by the rapid integration of local resources that have been developed into the domestic economic system very quickly. Pang Congcong looked at the cadres with relaxed expressions and listened seriously, and she threw out a rather shocking speech, "What I want to talk about now is that according to the summary of the numbers, the dividends in the three aspects have reached a bottleneck, and it is impossible to increase on a large scale in the short term." Some parts of the dividends are just afraid that it would be good to maintain the status quo. ”

This kind of shocking speech really played a role, and many comrades were stunned, confused, or unhappy. Now that he knows that everyone will have such a look, Pang Congcong doesn't care. She continued: "The characteristic of industrial society is that every member of society has to have social transactions, and everyone has to produce more things to sell, and the members of society as a whole have to have so much purchasing power to buy what they produce. The current situation is that production capacity has reached a peak, and purchasing power has also reached a peak. Of course, everyone has a lot of willingness to buy, but they don't have that much purchasing power, and this willingness can only be thought about. ”

These words sounded terrifying, and even had an ominous taste, but Pang Congcong didn't care. It is useless to adopt the working method of hello, hello, hello and hello in a department like the SASAC, and if Pang Congcong cannot directly point out the most real problems and put forward solutions and solutions, her position will not be stable at all.
