Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In all fairness, Sun Zhenhua actually disagreed with Xu Junran's article, and he also knew very well that unlike the old man of the Cao family, his father had a conservative view of reform and opening up from the beginning. It's just that his father and the old man of the Huang family who advocated reform and opening up did not deal with each other before the liberation, and the two of them came from different mountains of the four major field armies.
As far as the reform and opening up is concerned, when Huang Lao was conservative at the beginning, his father clearly agreed with his opinion in his heart, but he resolutely did not stand on the side of the conservatives. After Huang Lao's attitude gradually changed and he became a supporter of the reformers, his old man chose to retire.
"Someone must be behind the instigation of Jun Ran."
Thinking about it, Sun Zhenhua feels that this answer is probably the closest to the truth, what kind of character is his nephew, Sun Zhenhua thinks he knows very well, it is nothing more than a doll with an excessive sense of justice, even though Xu Junran has made a lot of achievements in the local area now, I am afraid that it is also relying on the help of others, Xu Junran in the real sense, he doesn't understand the twists and turns on the capital politics at all, and when he is provoked, he should be on the set, which is why this jaw-dropping article has popped up now, pushed the old Sun family to the forefront.
At this moment, seeing that the culprit who caused the catastrophe was sitting on the sofa opposite him with a smile on his face, Sun Zhenhua couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "Junran, you tell the truth to your uncle, who is picking up the article you wrote, is Ding Zicai behind the ghost?" ”
Sun Zhenhua read that article carefully several times, and he must admit that the theoretical level is very high, and even he, who has been engaged in organizational work for half his life, has to bow down. But the more so. The less he thinks that Xu Junran can write such a thing, although his nephew's theoretical level is good, but don't forget, Xu Junran advocated reform and opening up at the beginning, and now his attitude has changed so quickly, it is difficult to convince people that this article is from his arm, after all, a person's theoretical knowledge is so rich that it is really a bit appalling.
Xu Junran smiled, shook his head at Sun Zhenhua's gaze and said, "Uncle, you're too worried." No one pouted me. I'm not stupid either. That's what I wrote about this article. ”
"You!"
Sun Zhenhua pointed at Xu Junran and shouted in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought about what kind of consequences this article will bring? How do you let me face Huang Lao? How did your grandfather deal with his old comrades-in-arms? ”
"Big brother, you dissipate your anger." Xu Junran's third uncle, Sun Zhenbang, saw that his eldest brother became more and more angry the more he talked, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"yes, big brother." Sun Zhenan handed a cup of tea to Sun Zhenhua, and said apologetically: "Big brother, you are not sensible, you have a lot of adults, don't be like him." ”
Sun Zhenhua took the teacup. After taking a sip, he looked at his brother and said, "You two, how many times have I said it, don't get used to this child." If you look at them, they're never used to them at home. Isn't it also mature now? What a mother, a loving father, and a son of defeat! ”
Sun Zhenan and Sun Zhenbang's faces suddenly became a little embarrassed, after all, being reprimanded like this in front of the juniors was somewhat embarrassing.
Xu Junran frowned, and said this in front of his own two uncles who loved him the most. Even though Sun Zhenhua is his uncle, he is also very uncomfortable in his heart.
"Uncle, how do you know that I must be wrong?" Xu Junran asked Sun Zhenhua unceremoniously.
Sun Zhenan could hear the sharpness in his nephew's tone. turned around and shouted in a low voice: "Jun Ran, shut up!" ”
Sun Zhenhua laughed angrily, looked at Xu Junran, and said unhurriedly: "What's the matter, you still think you're right?" ”
Facing Sun Zhenhua's playful gaze, Xu Junran said in a deep voice word by word: "Things must be reversed!" Uncle, do you think that when you were united with the Huang family, our old Sun family would be able to prosper forever? But have you ever thought about if, I mean if, Grandpa Huang's claim is wrong? What if reforms in Eastern Europe are going in the wrong direction? When the time comes, the Sun family will lose the big tree of grandfather, and several uncles will stand in the wrong team again, what will our family rely on to survive? ”
Sun Zhenhua walked out of his brother's house in a huff.
He was really angry, Xu Junran's words were like a loud slap in the face. People in their sixties were taught a big lesson by a boy who was less than thirty years old, although it was his own nephew, but in Sun Zhenhua's eyes, Xu Junran was not a member of the Sun family at all, but he never thought that he would still be taught a lesson by this junior.
Sun Zhenan and Sun Zhenbang sent Sun Zhenhua to the door, watched him sit in the car without looking back, and turned around to the living room. Looking at his nephew with a leisurely and indifferent face, Sun Zhenan said helplessly: "Junran, you were too presumptuous just now!" ”
Sun Zhenbang also said: "Yes, no matter what, that's your uncle, it's strange if you talk to him like that, and your uncle isn't angry." ”
Xu Junran smiled faintly: "Second uncle, third uncle, eldest uncle has never liked me, no matter how I explain this matter, he must think that I am wrong." Instead of arguing with him, it is better to put this matter aside, anyway, it won't be long before my uncle knows that he is wrong. ”
"You!" Sun Zhenbang pointed at his nephew, with a helpless face, this nephew's temper is really screwed like his sister.
Smiling, Xu Junran suddenly remembered something and asked Sun Zhenbang: "Third uncle, are you in the Ministry of Finance thinking about borrowing money from abroad recently?" ”
This is an old news he had heard in his previous life, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Huaxia was in urgent need of a large amount of money, there were two choices, one was the United States, the other was the Soviet Union, and finally the Chinese Ministry of Finance chose to borrow tens of billions of dollars from the United States, and the person who handled this matter should be the Ministry of Finance.
It's just that, according to Xu Junran's known memories, the cadre in charge of this matter regretted it. Because at that time, if the Soviet Union had been chosen as the borrower, it would have borrowed tens of billions of old rubles, and when it was returned ten years later, it would probably not cost much. You must know that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the old ruble depreciated at a dizzying rate, and according to the exchange rate at that time, 100 million old rubles was only equivalent to a few thousand dollars.
In Xu Junran's opinion. This is just a great opportunity for my uncle to be promoted!
"How do you know this? Who's listening? Sun Zhenbang's face was stern, and he asked his nephew seriously. This is an issue related to state secrets, and he has no choice but to be cautious.
Smiling and waving his hand, Xu Junran said: "Third uncle, you don't care where I know, let me ask you, is there such a thing?" ”
Sun Zhenbang hesitated, but still nodded: "Well, this matter is being discussed now, what do you have to say?" ”
Reason sues him. Don't listen to your nephew's gibberish. But there is a voice in his heart that tells Sun Zhenbang that his nephew is different from ordinary people, at least he can write the kind of articles that surprise everyone in a row, which shows that his nephew, who came out of the countryside, is definitely impressive.
Seeing that his uncle was a little moved, Xu Junran picked up the teacup and took a sip before he spoke: "Third uncle, I think you should borrow money from the Soviets." ”
"Huh?" Sun Zhenbang's eyebrows raised. Somewhat surprised, he asked, "Why?" ”
"Because the ruble exchange rate in the USSR has been falling!"
Xu Junran said to his uncle with a determined face: "Since the beginning of '88, the exchange rate of the ruble has been declining, although the National Bank of the Soviet Union has been trying to find a way to remedy it, but I believe you also know. Such a save is just a drop in the bucket. ”
He is telling the truth, the political, economic, and cultural system known in Soviet history as the "Stalin model" is a highly centralized and centralized system. This system is designed to deal with tensions at home and abroad. It will be able to concentrate manpower, financial resources, and material resources to meet the needs of preparing for and responding to war, and achieve remarkable results in industrialization and enhancing national defense strength. In just over a decade, the Soviet Union became the first power in Europe and the second largest in the world. However, this system strictly deviates from the laws of modern economic development, suppresses the enthusiasm of localities, enterprises, and workers, and together with its ruthless elimination of all kinds of opposition and suppression of dissident intellectuals in politics, as well as strict ideological control, the whole society is in a state of rigidity, isolation, and numbness.
After the Second World War, as the theme of the times gradually shifted towards peace and development, this system slowed down economic development, the imbalance in the proportion of national economic development became more severe, and the shortcomings of the system became more prominent. Obviously, this system not only failed to accomplish the historic task of building Russia into a modern democratic country, but on the contrary put Russia in a weak position in the world competition with capitalism. If it is said that after the October Revolution, a new pattern of "one ball, two systems" emerged, then more than half a century of comparison and competition did not show the superiority of Soviet-style socialism, and this system failed to meet the people's ever-growing needs for material and cultural life, and thus lost more and more support and support from the people.
In the same way, the Soviet economy gradually showed signs of collapse because of the failure of Gorbachev's reforms.
However, in the eyes of many people, although the huge country of the Soviet Union is already in the twilight, it is still some way from completely falling apart.
Except for the prophetic Xu Junran. After all, at this time of the year, the Soviet Union gave people the feeling that it was chaotic and not collapsed, and I am afraid that no one could imagine that in a year at most, this big country in one of the two poles will become history.
Sun Zhenbang frowned, listening to his nephew say these things, his heart was actually a little shaken, but he still didn't understand what this had to do with which country's central bank the Ministry of Finance chose to borrow.
"Junran, you tell me the truth, why do we want to borrow money from the Soviets?" Sun Zhenbang thought about it, but decided to listen to his nephew's opinion. Others such as Sun Zhenan and others, although some people also understand a little bit of economics, but what Xu Junran and Sun Zhenbang said was too important, so they simply didn't open their mouths and listened silently to the communication between the two people.
Xu Junran shrugged: "It's very simple, since you can choose anyone, the exchange rate of the Soviet Union is unstable, and there is a chance that it will fall, why not choose them?" ”
Sun Zhenbang laughed: "You kid, you still don't know about this financial thing. Let me tell you, no matter how much the ruble falls, it will not fall too low. Moreover, we borrowed this money, and it was only after ten years that we repaid it, and by that time I believe that the situation in the Soviet Union would have stabilized. He now understood what his nephew meant, and thought that Xu Junran's idea was to take advantage of the current instability of the ruble's exchange rate to borrow a large amount of money. When the ruble exchange rate falls, you can pay less.
Shaking his head slightly, Xu Junran said slowly: "Third uncle." What I mean is to borrow rubles now and return them dollars when the time comes. ”
How can Sun Zhenbang now know that 100 million rubles at this time, ten years later, is only equivalent to thousands of dollars.
One of the consequences of the collapse of the Soviet behemoth was the collapse of the entire financial system.
The economic base determines the superstructure, and when a country is rotten from the roots, many things happen naturally. Sun Zhenbang didn't figure out where his nephew knew about it in the end. Xu Junran's tone was very tight, no matter how his uncle tried him. Just smile and don't speak.
However, for Sun Zhenbang, although some of Xu Junran's statements are a bit shocking, at least he knows very well that his nephew is no longer the nerd who only knows how to read, and since the article published by Xu Junran after graduating from university, Xu Junran has really begun to care about politics and the development of the country. This made Sun Zhenbang quite happy in his heart.
As for Xu Junran's shocking article. After the initial shock, Sun Zhenbang has now thought about it a lot.
Just like my nephew said, if the things in the article come true after a year or two, the benefits to the Sun family are self-evident. Even if it turns out that Xu Junran is a fool's dream. At most, it's just that he, an unsuccessful son of the Sun family, is making a lot of nonsense, and Xu Junran's career has been affected, but it can't affect the old man's head at all.
The most important thing is to look at the attitude of the top leader.
After all, there is an old man there. Even if Huang Lao was dissatisfied in his heart, he would not express it at this moment. Seeing that the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is about to be held, no matter which aspect of the big guy. No one wants to be in trouble at this time.
As long as the old chief, who had several ups and downs, didn't speak, no one dared to touch the Sun family, and naturally no one dared to touch Xu Junran.
On the contrary, it was the idea proposed by Xu Junran that made Sun Zhenbang very interested.
You must know that he is now a department-level cadre of the Ministry of Finance, and if he wants to be promoted again in the next step, he must be at the deputy ministerial level. Hundreds of ministerial-level leaders in Huaxia want to enter the deputy ministerial level from the department level, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, especially the object of the Sun family's current support is the second brother Sun Zhenan, Sun Zhenbang, the third son, wants to ascend to the throne, and it is actually impossible to get too much support from the family. In other words, the Sun family, who now fully supports Sun Zhen'an's bid for the post of head of the Central Organization Department, no longer has spare resources to support Sun Zhenbang to ascend to the position of deputy minister.
In the final analysis, politics is a constant exchange and compromise, and if one party wants to get something, it must pay a corresponding price to the other party.
The Sun family wants Sun Zhenan to take the position, and the price paid is also a lot, and even the old man is ready to retire from the family, so that the second son can take the position of the leader of the Central Organization Department, after all, if the father and son enter the political bureau at the same time, it is indeed intolerable to other forces.
A minister-level has exhausted most of the Sun family's energy, and if Sun Zhenbang wants to be promoted, he can only find another way.
It is impossible for anyone who has been in officialdom for a while not to want to be promoted. As the saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and in the same way, a cadre who does not want to be promoted is not a qualified cadre.
If Xu Junran's construction can get him promoted, Sun Zhenbang doesn't mind listening to his nephew's "nonsense".
Anyway, as Xu Junran said, there is not much difference between borrowing money from Americans and borrowing money from Soviets.
Of course, he still has to study this matter carefully, after all, it is not a small amount, and the loan between countries is a large part of the national debt.
Xu Junran didn't care about these things, Lu himself had already pointed it out to his uncle, and as for whether he could take advantage of this shareholder wind to send Sun Zhenbang to the top, he was not too sure. After all, the affairs of politics are not something that you can take lightly.
In the following time, Xu Junran comforted a few aunts who were a little frightened, and then went out of the house. Since the old man did not express his position, it means that the old man has a new interpretation of his reckless behavior this time. At his level and age, many things are seen more thoroughly than Sun Zhenhua and Sun Zhenan's brothers, as the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure, but it is not just to talk about it.
Xie Bingxin found Xu Junran on the morning of the fourth day, and the location was still in the house where Xu Junran was near the party school.
Xu Junran has not gone to work in the past few days, except for occasionally going to a night bar with Cao Junwei and others, he is quietly reading books and newspapers at home. Now the entire theoretical circles in the capital have been turned upside down by his bombshell "bomb", and all kinds of arguments have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, of course, most of them are criticizing Xu Junran's alarmist arguments, and in a fashionable phrase, Xu Junran's statement is against the tide of the times of reform and opening up.
