Chapter 0882 - This Is War Too

The visit was very fruitful, especially in the two markets of Africa and South America. Because there are overseas Chinese and Chinese from Yunling, Yunling City has signed a trade agreement of about 50 billion yuan there, in addition to hundreds of billions of yuan of trade intention agreements. In addition, in the two markets of Eastern Europe and Russia, tens of billions of cooperation agreements have also been harvested.

And an even bigger bonus is getting to know thousands of local businessmen and entrepreneurs. Therefore, Kong Zhenghao suggested that it is necessary to set up a special organization, together with the Municipal Chamber of Commerce, to regularly invite these businessmen and entrepreneurs to visit Yunling.

Kong Zhenghao's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and the meeting decided to establish a municipal trade committee, which will be directly under the leadership of the municipal government. The trade commission is a permanent body, headed by Mayor Kong Zhenghao, and all staff are temporarily drawn from various departments until approved by the provincial government.

Another decision was also made at the meeting to expand the offshore free trade platform. The original offshore free trade platform was only a small island with an area of 1.5 square kilometers, and the area of the onshore trading platform and storage area was only 2.5 square kilometers. According to the expansion plan, the new offshore free trade platform will consist of three connected islands, covering an area of 3.5 square kilometers, and the onshore trading platform and storage area will also be expanded to 6.5 square kilometers.

In order to achieve victory in the trade counterattack, the meeting also adopted a series of other measures. First, strengthen de-dollarization efforts and accelerate the pace of de-dollarization. Second, strengthen the work of de-beautification and speed up the speed of de-beautification, especially in tourism, culture, film and television, etc. Third, it is strictly forbidden for products originating in the United States to enter or transit Yunling through customs and free trade platforms. Fourth, it is strictly forbidden for US products to enter or transit through a third country. Fifth, for products that do not originate in the United States, but more than one-third of the products come from the United States, security checks should be strengthened and entry restrictions will be restricted. Sixth, mobilize enterprises and citizens in the city to abandon US dollar bonds and other US assets as soon as possible. 7. All US-flagged vessels are strictly prohibited from entering the port of Yunling City. 8. All US officials are strictly prohibited from entering Yunling, and violators will be punished for illegal entry. Ninth, the state should strive to implement the 30 billion yuan tax reduction plan for Yunling enterprises as soon as possible. 10. The municipal finance has allocated 20 billion yuan to help those enterprises affected by the trade war.

Before the vote by show of hands, many comrades expressed concern that after these measures were made public and launched, they would be targeted by the US side, which would bring greater losses to Yunling.

Sun Heping said: "This is an initiative and a blockbuster*." Haodong, will this lead to fierce countermeasures from the United States? ”

Xu Haodong said: "First of all, let's establish the concept that war is the continuation of politics, and economic and trade wars are also the continuation of politics. So, we're talking about politics, and there's no room for questioning. We are doing what we are ordered to do to prove to the United States that without trade with the United States, Yunling City can not only survive, but also live well. ”

Sun Heping said: "Haodong, that's not what I want to express. ”

Xu Haodong said: "I know, Lao Sun, what I want to express is not what I mean, I am convinced of your political concepts." I deeply understand your concerns. What I want to tell you and my comrades is that this trade war is inevitable, and it is a foregone conclusion that both sides will have losses. And the series of measures we have launched are not only to respond to the battle, but also to take the initiative to fight back. We just want to tell the US side that Yunling is just the beginning, and if the whole country does this, will they be able to bear it. ”

Kong Zhenghao added: "Therefore, we are not afraid of a fierce reaction from the US side. On the contrary, we hope that the US side will react violently. ”

Xu Haodong said: "All in all, this trade counterattack war should achieve three goals. First, tell the US side that we are not afraid, and that we can not only respond to the war, but also take the initiative to challenge it. Let us make the US side understand that although it is inferior to them militarily and technologically, we are by no means afraid of them politically and economically. Second, while fighting a trade war with the United States, we must warn other countries not to provoke China easily, because China cannot be bullied. Especially countries like Australia, Japan and South Korea, if they dare to provoke trouble, we will not hesitate to take up the stick of trade war. Third, our country has not fought a war for more than 30 years, and many of our people have been paralyzed, so we need a war to awaken the people and resolutely erect the banner of patriotism. Therefore, since we cannot fight a military war for the time being, we might as well fight an economic war first, and an economic war with the world's number one power. ”

The participants applauded.

After the applause, Li Ying asked, "Haodong, can your words be publicized to the outside world?" ”

Xu Haodong said: "Of course, word for word. ”

Sun Yang said: "The trade war is a zero-sum game, a lose-lose war. Therefore, we must do a good job of protecting enterprises and try to help them minimize losses. ”

Kong Zhenghao asked: "What is the current situation of the enterprise?" Especially those companies from the United States, do they have a tendency to divest? ”

Sun Yang said: "So far, everything is normal. We have been paying close attention to U.S.-funded companies, and if there is any situation, I will report to the municipal party committee and municipal government at any time. ”

Xu Haodong nodded and said to the participants: "If everyone has no different opinions, then our meeting today should also end." ”

Kong Zhenghao asked: "Haodong, is the work assignment of the municipal government team solved here?" ”

Waving his hand, Xu Haodong smiled: "No." Solve the work assignment of the municipal government team here, I am the substitute, I don't do this kind of stupid thing, or you are busy yourself. ”

In the laughter, Xu Haodong walked away.

Of course, Kong Zhenghao is also extremely smart, Xu Haodong said that no matter what, he still has to ask Xu Haodong for instructions, which is called correcting his position.

The power game is always like this, the party leads everything, and the secretary of the municipal party committee must be higher than the mayor. The so-called feudal officials refer to the secretary of the provincial party committee, not the provincial governor. Similarly, the secretary of the municipal party committee can be referred to as the party in charge, and the mayor is not eligible for this title.

The power of the secretary of the municipal party committee is all-round, and in the composition of his power, personnel comes first, as the mayor, he can see but cannot touch, and only has the right to make suggestions. The work distribution of the members of the municipal government team is also an integral part of personnel power, and Kong Zhenghao is well aware of this truth.

The more Xu Haodong respects Kong Zhenghao, the more Kong Zhenghao respects Xu Haodong.

Before getting off work, Kong Zhenghao came to Xu Haodong's office.

"Haodong, the work assignment of the municipal government team depends on your decision."

"You, your temperament is hard to change."

"No way, big idea, I can't."

"If I am transferred away and you become the secretary of the municipal party committee, how can you still have big ideas?"

"As you said, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge."

"However, the assignment of work to the city government team is within your purview."

"But I want you to help me share some of it."

Xu Haodong was satisfied with Kong Zhenghao's attitude, but he skillfully hid his satisfaction in his heart.

"Okay, Zhenghao, you say, how can I help you share it?"
