At six o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Tong's father came back.

Meng Tong ran to open the door, and Wu Yue also got up from the sofa to greet Father Meng.

Father Meng was tall and burly-looking, and when he came in and saw Wu Yue getting up to greet him, he immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Yue, sit down, you're welcome." ”

Meng Tong helped his father take off his coat and hang it on a hanger.

Father Meng walked to the sofa, saw that Wu Yue was still standing, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yue, there are many things in the bureau, and I couldn't come back at noon, so I have to ask Comrade Xiao Yue for forgiveness." ”

Wu Yue waited for Father Meng to sit down before taking a seat.

Seeing that Father Meng was smiling kindly and joking with him, he also had a great impression, and said with a smile: "Uncle is serious." ”

Meng Mu poured water for them again, and said with a smile: "You talk, I'll cook." ”

Father Meng casually asked Wu Yue some common things, just like an ordinary person, and did not give people a condescending feeling.

Wu Yue was still a little nervous at first, after all, it was Meng Tong's father in front of him, and he was still a high-ranking official in Huaxia, although he really felt that the chairman was here, and he was just an ordinary person, but it was still a little strange to see a real person for the first time. However, Father Meng was very kind, and Wu Yue's nervousness was gone.

Of course, this also has something to do with self-confidence, in Wu Yue's opinion, there should be very few people who look down on him now.

The two chatted for a while, and Meng's father also asked a few words about Jin Province, and Meng's mother cooked the meal.

Meng Tong's parents didn't eat much for dinner, which made Wu Yue embarrassed to eat more.

Father Meng seemed to see Wu Yue's thoughts, and said with a smile: "We are old and don't eat much, so you eat more." Meng Tong gave Wu Yue another bowl of rice. ”

"Okay."

Meng Tong's parents did not leave the table, but ate slowly.

After eating, Meng's father and Wu Yue sat on the sofa, Meng's mother poured a cup of tea for the two, and went to clean up the kitchen.

Father Meng chatted casually with Wu Yue and asked, "I see that you are very interested in state affairs, do you have any plans to enter politics in the future?" ”

Wu Yue shook his head and said: "No, my personality is not suitable for politics, and I will focus on investment and charity in the future." ”

Father Meng nodded and said: "Yes, the poor are good alone, and the good are good to the world, which is also an idea we advocate." However, there are also some risks for you and Meng Tong to fall in love, I was in Jin Province to promote the reform of the coal industry, and Zhejiang Merchant Capital planted a heel in Jin Province. They are the most active investment funds in China, and they are very grouped, and they can entangle tens or even hundreds of billions of funds. If they know that you and Meng Tong are in love, I'm afraid that someone will deal with you in the investment market and avenge the coal reform. ”

Father Meng was reminding Wu Yue, and he was also testing Wu Yue.

Wu Yue said with a smile: "My future investment will mainly be in foreign markets, and they don't have the ability to snipe me in the international market." Even if I play against them at home, I won't necessarily lose. ”

Seeing that Wu Yue did not hesitate, Father Meng nodded and said, "Be careful to sail a ship of ten thousand years, especially the unpredictable investment market, you still have to be cautious." ”

said and smiled: "Of course you are a financial genius, I am a layman, the class has an axe, don't mind." ”

Wu Yue hurriedly said: "Uncle is right, the financial market is indeed very risky, and you need to be very careful. ”

Father Meng smiled: "Yes, you can not only move forward boldly, but also be careful at all times." Just like our party said to cross the river by feeling the stones, we must be bold and cautious. It seems that every industry can succeed in this way. ”

The two chatted for a while, and Father Meng smiled: "What do you think of the coal reform I promoted?" Say whatever you want, I won't be angry. ”

In front of Father Meng, evaluating Father Meng's affairs, Wu Yue was really a little embarrassed, and thought about it: "I am young and knowledgeable, and there may be something wrong with what I said, so my uncle will bear with me." ”

Father Meng smiled: "We are walking a road that no one has ever walked before, no one knows who is right and who is wrong, you just say it, I just want to hear what your generation thinks." ”

"Then I'll be bold enough to say, first of all, I personally don't like the state interfering in the economy, and I don't like the existence of state-owned enterprises."

When Father Meng heard Wu Yue say this, he was still smiling.

On the side, Meng Tong was a little anxious, and hurriedly glanced at Wu Yue, wanting Wu Yue to say something nice.

Wu Yue ignored Meng Tong and continued: "At the economic level, I still think that the state should regulate the behavior of enterprises through legislation, which can also achieve the purpose of influencing these industries.

For example, in the coal industry, the state can control the coal industry by levying resource fees, coal is the food of the industry, and it directly affects the price of electricity, the state must control the price of coal, and we can completely control the price of coal by adjusting the resource fee.

When coal companies raise prices, we will raise resource fees. The price of coal is 100 yuan a ton and 700 yuan a ton, and the resource compensation fee cannot be fixed.

Even if coal companies still raise prices, the state can subsidize industries related to people's livelihood, such as electricity, through the resource compensation fees collected.

If coal companies are all private, I believe the state has a stronger ability to regulate coal prices. Now the big coal companies are state-owned enterprises, but the country's ability to regulate coal prices has weakened, and the relevant departments want to come up with a policy, but they have to be constrained by these state-owned enterprises, to a certain extent, state-owned enterprises are undoubtedly playing a counterproductive role. ”

When Father Meng heard this, he couldn't help but want to nod.

Nominally, he is in charge of the national energy industry, but those state-owned enterprises are subordinate to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and if he wants to promote reform, the first thing he needs to suppress is the opposition of state-owned enterprises. The administrative level of the CEOs of some large state-owned enterprises is still very high, and many of them come from wealthy families, although he has the title of deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, it is not easy to suppress these CEOs of state-owned enterprises.

Sometimes, he thinks that if there were no state-owned enterprises, perhaps there would be less resistance to his reforms.

Of course, as a high-ranking official of our party, he cannot agree with this statement.

Wu Yue said it, and he also knew that the road could not continue, and if it continued, the annexation of small coal mines by state-owned enterprises would be a reversal of history, and he said with a smile: "Of course, the existence of state-owned enterprises is a problem left over from history, and it cannot be changed for a while." Looking at the coal reform alone, I think the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

In the past, there were more than a dozen or twenty coal mines in our village, and we could produce them by digging a single opening. There are no safety measures, let alone environmental facilities. I often hear that there are dead people in the mine, but of course I won't talk about it if I don't report it. The pollution is also very bad, and when it rains, it is black, and when it falls on clothes, it is black spots. And the waste of resources is also very serious, small mines only mine rich ore, poor mines are thrown away. If all the rich ore is mined and the poor ore is left, even if the state-owned enterprises are allowed to mine it again, the gain will outweigh the loss.

The state raises the threshold for coal enterprises and allows them to improve mechanization and environmental protection standards, which can reduce the occurrence of mining disasters, pollution and waste of resources. ”

Father Meng smiled: "This is what you said just now, the state affects the industry through regulations, right?" ”

Wu Yue nodded and said, "Yes, the country is already doing this, but I was a little angry just now." From the perspective of current market participants, most of the enterprises that have the ability to improve mechanization and environmental protection facilities are indeed state-owned enterprises, so this is also said by many people to be the country's advance and the people's retreat.

Personally, I think these people are either bribed by coal bosses or trying to attract attention by smearing the government. As coal mining people, we are fed up with the pollution of small coal mines, and we welcome large enterprises to integrate coal resources.

Of course, coal bosses are also citizens of our country, and their legitimate rights and interests should also be protected. They are also people who have contributed to the country. ”

Father Meng smiled: "Oh? Tell me what they have to contribute. ”

Wu Yue hesitated for a moment and said: "In the past, the mechanization of state-owned enterprises was not high, but China's industry is developing rapidly, and the output of state-owned enterprises alone may not be able to meet the needs of industry, right?" At that time, small coal mines were being excavated everywhere, not necessarily without the tacit approval of the government. They organized production and made some contributions to the country's economic development. Of course, they have also received their remuneration, and the net worth of the coal boss still makes most people red. ”

Father Meng nodded and said, "What you said is right, the coal boss has indeed made contributions to the country." But the times are advancing, the people's requirements are getting higher and higher, many people didn't know what environmental protection is, but now everyone is talking about protecting the environment. The coal bosses can't keep up with the needs of the times, so it's time for them to retire. In fact, it's the same for us, when everyone has a successful retirement, you can't say that you have made some contributions to the country, you have to dominate this position. The statement that the country advances and the people retreat is completely unobjective. The coal industry does not allow private companies to exist, the key is that the coal boss does not have the strength, or is reluctant to invest! ”

Wu Yue nodded and said: "That's right, the funds of Zhejiang businessmen are enough for them to become bigger and stronger, but the price of coal has fluctuated greatly in the past two years, coupled with the development of new energy." Many wealthy coal bosses are also afraid to invest in the coal industry on a large scale to improve mechanization and environmental standards. In the past, they used to dig a hole casually, put on some machinery, and they could earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions a year, but now let them invest hundreds of millions to improve mechanization and increase environmental protection facilities, and there are really not many coal bosses who dare to do it. And even if the coal boss invests a lot of money, it may not end well.

The shale gas revolution in the United States will put coal prices in a position for the next few years, and many coal companies will fall into the red. It's not necessarily a good thing to get out of the game now. ”

The shale gas revolution is not yet in full swing at this time, which means that people in the energy industry will be paying attention to this aspect of things.

The National Energy Administration has also just set up a research project on key technologies for shale gas exploration and development, intensifying scientific and technological research, and wanting to break through core technologies and accelerate the pace of shale gas exploration and development.

The special development plan for shale gas and related policies are still being prepared and studied.

Father Meng didn't expect Wu Yue to have an understanding of this, and said: "The shale gas revolution in the United States may indeed have an impact on the energy industry in the world, but I didn't expect you to even know about this." So what do you, a financial genius, think of the shale gas revolution? ”
