Chapter 248: Capital and Power (8)

Wei Ze had been softly resisted by the Central Military Commission's gang, and now he once again felt the pressure that Qianfu was referring to. Breaking off the plans of the provinces to frantically apply for financial investment is, in a sense, standing on the opposite side of the provinces. Everyone's dissatisfaction and anger naturally had to be borne by Wei Ze. No matter how much everyone respects Wei Ze, they will not give him a good look at this time.

After that, the meeting was carried out weakly, and all the high-ranking officials in the provinces were a little wilted. Wei Ze ignored them for the time being, and that night Wei Ze called Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan to his office.

Pang Congcong looked at Wei Ze's rather stern expression, and she asked with a straight face: "Does the governor have any work to hand over to us?" ”

Wei Ze nodded, "This time, the provinces asked the central government to expand investment, and that kind of unrealistic request naturally cannot be agreed, but national investment is also an essential work." So I want the two of you to take on that. ”

Listening to Wei Ze's order, Wang Mingshan and Pang Congcong glared at Wei Ze several times, and couldn't help but glance at each other. Wang Mingshan himself came out of the Ministry of Finance, and when he was young and vigorous a few years ago, he directly fought with the Military Commission because of the budget work, and was valued by Wei Ze at that time. Now he is no longer the stubborn stunned young man, who has been the secretary of the Guangdong Party Committee for so long, Wang Mingshan has more and more experience, so Wang Mingshan asked tentatively: "Doesn't the central government already have a Ministry of Finance, and there are also relevant financial and budget departments. The work of managing national investment should be the business of the Ministry of Finance. ”

"The powers of the Ministry of Finance can no longer be expanded. The state investment itself should have a special direct management department, otherwise it will affect the more conservative posture of the Ministry of Finance. Be diligent and thrifty, open source and reduce expenditure. As long as the Ministry of Finance can manage the accounts independently. If even the work of open source is entrusted to them, the Ministry of Finance itself will be schizophrenic. Weese replied.

Pang Congcong had never been in the Ministry of Finance, and she didn't have any special understanding of the internal atmosphere of this department, so she considered it differently from Wang Mingshan, "What kind of work is the governor going to let us do?" ”

"State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission." Wei Ze replied, and after finishing speaking, he simply wrote the full name of the "State-owned Assets Management Commission" on a piece of paper and handed it to the two of them.

"State-owned assets ......" Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan thought thoughtfully after reading it.

"Yes, state-owned assets. Corresponding to state-owned assets are private and private assets. Don't you have a lot of private assets in Guangdong right now? I've heard of people who are engaged in animal husbandry, supplying vegetables, fruits, poultry, meat, eggs, and so on to the city. Weeser explained.

Pang Congcong's face changed when he heard this, "Dudu, don't mention this." I'm angry when I mention it! The private assets in Guangdong are really dark enough, don't look at the big deal, but there are a lot of bad people in this gang. There are many people who bully and dominate the market and engage in all kinds of underworlds. We're going to get it in order before we come this time. I thought that these people were just doing a deal, but selling a chicken in the market could actually kill people. ”

Of course, it was impossible for Weeser to collect such detailed information, and it was impossible for such information to appear on Weeser's desk. But when Pang Congcong said this, Wei Ze was not surprised. In the design of Guangzhou City, Weize specially designed a bazaar near the community community, with the aim of enriching the people's vegetable baskets. But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this is especially true in places like bazaars.

Pang Congcong is a smart person, and when she saw Wei Ze's expression, she felt that Wei Ze was only afraid to have his own opinion on these things. She briefly introduced the situation in the bazaar. The whole narrative process was not long, and Wei Ze, who listened to the report, had a calm expression. It was only when Pang Congcong introduced that the gangsters actually forcibly "bought" the vegetables of vegetable farmers at a low price, that his eyebrows wrinkled.

After Pang Congcong finished speaking, Wei Ze asked: "What is the current situation of the total supply of vegetable markets in Guangzhou?" ”

"Well, I don't feel that the market is in short supply for the time being, and I don't think it's too much." Pang Congcong replied. Answering on her lips, Pang Congcong was a little uneasy in her heart, and she really hadn't thought about the question Wei Ze asked.

"What does the Governor think?" Wang Mingshan asked.

Wei Ze replied: "There are two main types of control in the operation of the market economy, the producer and the sales channel. If you want to take money out of the pockets of the common people, it is a bandit and robber, and no one dares to do this at this stage for the time being. I think the goal pursued by these people is to engage in monopoly. Now the peasants who produce vegetables directly to the market are being driven out of the urban markets, and they are intercepting the purchases halfway. Then fight for the right to sell at the farmer's market. In the end, they provided the vegetables and non-staple foods that the whole Guangzhou ate. At this time, by monopolizing the price, you can seek stable interests. Very normal means. ”

Listening to Wei Ze's understated answer, Wang Mingshan and Pang Congcong felt suddenly enlightened. For the two of them, they just felt that these people had caused a serious social security problem, but they didn't expect that behind the chaos was such a simple and clear economic idea.

After sorting out all kinds of scattered and chaotic information from the previous ones with the ideas put forward by Wei Ze, the whole thing gradually became clear. Pang Congcong sighed: "Listening to you say this, it is like what you have seen with your own eyes." That's really the case. ”

Wang Mingshan does not have the soft figure of a woman like Pang Congcong, he is originally more stubborn, and the kind of solitary height of a scholar has been worn away a lot in these years of work, but let him slap Wei Ze's ass naturally and smoothly, he really can't do it. Wang Mingshan's question was, "Governor, what should I do?" ”

Wei Ze smiled: "The underworld is a crime with the economy as the core, and it must be uprooted. And behind this kind of person is definitely not a gang, or a group of people. They are probably dependent on the region behind them, and if they don't have the geographical support, they can't gather enough people. There aren't enough people, and they don't want to have such a big impact. ”

After listening to Wei Ze's analysis, Wang Mingshan pondered for a moment, and then said three words, "Hailufeng".

Wei Ze sneered but didn't speak. There is a saying in Guangdong, "Thunder in the sky, Shanghai Lufeng on the ground". The people on Hai Lufeng's side have a strong clan concept, love to hold together, and are extremely distrustful of the government. So it's normal to make trouble. Before Wei Ze crossed, Hai Lufeng also made trouble in Bing Poison Village. The entire village was engaged in the manufacturing of bing, and a large number of armed police had to be mobilized to solve the problem. Of course, there are people covering this place above, but the arrogance of the locals and the disregard for the laws of the country can also be seen.

Wang Mingshan is not a person who will give in, and seeing that Wei Ze's smile has some meaning in it, he asked, "The governor is still worried that the local people will not be able to rebel?" ”

Wei Ze smiled but didn't speak directly, the surging paper carried out land reform in Hailufeng that year, launched an uprising, and established the first Soviet power. Although there will probably be no Soviets in Hailufeng now, what is there if there is really a peasant movement. A considerable part of the smuggling in Guangdong is done by Hailufeng, and the locals really cannot interpret it from the perspective of ordinary people.

After thinking about it, Wei Ze said: "In this way, I now know the situation in Guangzhou City." I still mean that, you two are going to come to the SASAC. The underworld wants to fight, that's for sure. When you return to Guangdong, you will have to deal with this matter. Also, as I said, even if something big happens to your side, I will support you. ”

Weser was almost 40 years old in 1869, and he was no longer the stunned young man he was. And now that Wei Ze has offended so many people, the SASAC was even more of a real power department that offended people in the early days. Therefore, the ugly words must be said to the front, and if something really happens, Wei Ze can continue to implement his decision. After all, a business trip will immediately become the best reason for some people to attack.

After talking with Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan, Wei Ze announced a personnel transfer the next day. Pang Congcong will become chairman of the newly established State-owned Assets Commission, which will be responsible for near-term investments in the industrial sector. Wang Mingshan was originally from the Ministry of Finance, so he was transferred to the People's Bank of China as party secretary.

The People's Bank of China (PBoC) is a state-owned central bank that, under the leadership of the State Council, formulates and implements monetary policy, prevents and defuses financial risks, and maintains financial stability. Unlike commercial banks, which borrow money from the central bank to make various commercial investments, the People's Bank of China theoretically does not have any commercial operations, and the central bank is in charge of issuing currency. The renminbi is printed by the People's Bank of China.

From the perspective of policy division of labor, the central bank is in charge of monetary policy, and the Ministry of Finance is in charge of fiscal policy, and the two departments perform their own duties.

In the blink of an eye, there were vacancies in two hot positions, and the cadres of the provinces who were once depressed were shaken. If it is someone else, it can be said that it may have offended Wei Ze and was dismissed and transferred. But Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan are both Wei Ze's more important cadres, and such an order can make the two of them obediently hand over the most enviable position among the governors of various provinces, which shows that Wei Ze's control power is still strong enough.

Of course, if Wei Ze wants to appoint and dismiss other provincial-level cadres, it will be easy. However, the difference between these people and Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan is that Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan are convinced, and other cadres will probably have a little bit of complaints.

This personnel transfer also activated everyone's thinking a little, and the meeting was active again.

"Governor, you can build the capital of our XX province XX into Guangzhou and Shanghai! Don't you even agree to this? Knowing that their plans for tens of thousands to 200,000 factories had failed, the provincial representatives retreated to the next best thing and began to ask for more realistic investment.

Looking at Wei Ze's ambiguous expression, the people in charge pleaded or said angrily: "Dudu, if you can't even agree to this, we really can't do it!" ”

Wei Ze's answer was, "These investments will be responsible for the SASAC after it is established." Now the matter is to get the infrastructure that I once said about getting started. ”

The Ministry of Finance is actually quite effective in terms of infrastructure investment policies, but the infrastructure work is heavy and troublesome. Where there is a direct large-scale investment in industry in the provincial capital and the construction of a large number of new cities comes with convenience and glamour. After listening to Wei Ze's words, a considerable number of provincial governors were disappointed from the bottom of their hearts.

Wei Ze had no expression on his face, and he could only be disappointed in his heart.
