A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce said that Yunling's economy is mainly export-oriented, and the ratio of export value to GDP is the highest in the country. The trade war between the United States and Yunling City has the greatest impact, and Yunling City has the right to respond and has an exemplary role for the whole country, and we, the Ministry of Commerce, support any response made by Yunling City to defend its own interests.

A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce also said that we accept the criticism made by Xu Haodong. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that we have adequate measures to deal with the trade war launched by the United States, and we do not want to fight a trade war, but we are not afraid of a trade war, and we will definitely accompany it to the end.

The secretary sorted out the public opinion report, and Li Zijian sent the report to Xu Haodong, but Xu Haodong didn't look at it and threw it aside.

"Xiucai, I only care about the reaction of the US side."

"Three people from the United States reacted to your speech."

"Oh, it's good to have a reaction, you say come and hear it."

"One, the US president tweeted: I like this Chinese guy, this is the future opponent of the United States, I want to make friends with him, I want to invite him to the White House to play."

"Haha...... The surname is special, and it's really special. ”

"Second, the spokeswoman of the US State Department said: This Chinese magistrate has expressed an extremely unfriendly attitude towards the United States, and I regret this."

"Well, this old lady is not suitable to be a spokesperson."

"Third, the U.S. Deputy Secretary of Commerce said: China is waging a trade war against the United States."

"Oh? Is this the exact word? ”

"That's what the English text says......"

"Obvious, unjustified, openly provocative?"

"Yes, that's pretty much."

Xu Haodong pondered.

"Xiucai, how do you judge?"

"I think that if the national leader and the national spokesman respond to you as a local governor, you will win anyway."

"And then, and then what?"

"You might as well add some firewood to the fire."

"Good idea, how?"

"Robert, a reporter from an American media in Yunling, has been asking to interview you, and he has a number with me."

"Oh...... Now, at a quarter past five, you inform Mayor Kong Zhenghao, and now, let Mayor Kong Zhenghao be interviewed by Robert. ”

Li Zijian immediately picked up the phone and dialed.

Li Zijian made two phone calls in succession, first to Kong Zhenghao and then to Robert.

While waiting for Robert, Kong Zhenghao called Xu Haodong.

"Haodong, why did you let me be interviewed, as far as I know, the person people most want to interview is you."

"Haha...... You are the captain, I am the instructor, you say that when you charge into battle, is it the captain who takes the lead, or the instructor who takes the lead? ”

"Hehe, I forgot about this stubble."

"Don't worry, you are the first echelon, and I am the second echelon."

"Then you have to give some guidance."

"Hmm...... It's just adding fuel to my speech yesterday and adding fuel to the fire. ”

"Understood, what exactly should I say?"

"First, to refuse the request of the consul of the US Consulate in Shanghai to visit Yunling, of course, you can put it mildly, just say that it is out of security considerations. Second, strengthen the safety inspection of products from the United States, for reasons you think, or simply no reason at all. Third, suspend and postpone the application and review of seven U.S. companies to settle in Yunling. Fourth, if the United States makes me miserable, then I will also make you miserable. Fifth, from now on, Yunling Port will provide convenience for imported products settled in non-US dollars, and they can be given priority to enter the port under the same conditions. Sixth, gradually reduce the number of U.S. products entering the maritime free trade zone. 7. From now on, the maritime affairs, customs, coast guard, coastal defense, and other relevant departments will strengthen inspections of US-flagged vessels in the waters under the jurisdiction of Yunling City, and may detain or forcibly expel those who refuse to comply with the inspections. ”

"Haodong, you're not adding firewood to the fire, you're throwing it into the fire."

"Yes, that's understandable."

"The superiors won't say that we went too far?"

"Zhenghao, are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, you're not afraid, what am I afraid of."

"Don't worry, we only represent Yunling City, not the country. If others follow up or not, we can't care, so let's just do it. ”

"Okay, I'm fully cooperative. By the way, after the interview, I will send you the recording, and you will check it. ”

"Haha, you've worked hard, I'll go home and wait for your interview recording."

In the evening, Xu Haodong had dinner, went into the study, and sat in front of the computer. After listening to the recording of Kong Zhenghao's interview twice, I thought about it for a while and pointed out five of the things that need to be revised. Then he sent his opinion to Kong Zhenghao, and after the two reached an agreement, Kong Zhenghao sorted out the document and sent it to the "Yunling Daily" office, ready to be published on the front page tomorrow.

As usual, Xu Haodong opened Weibo and began to interact with his fans. He wanted to hurry up and make time to watch the World Cup at 8 p.m.

At half past seven, his son Xiaodong, who was playing with the neighbor's children outside, appeared at the door of the study and said excitedly: "Dad...... Guests, I, I've seen the documents, it's a big official. ”

Xu Haodong didn't raise his head anymore, "Stinky boy, it's not like our family hasn't been a big official, what are you excited about." ”

Xiaodong said: "It's also the secretary of the provincial party committee, and it's as big as last time." ”

"You are talking nonsense, Secretary Wu Guozhang came to Yunling City, how could he not inform me."

"Oh, Dad, please raise your head and take a look."

Xu Haodong raised his head and immediately stood up. Because Xiaodong is right, at the small door of the study, there are Wu Guozhang, secretary of the provincial party committee, as well as his secretary Xiao Zhiqiang, and Qiao Jingsheng, executive deputy director of the Organization Department of the provincial party committee, who is on business in Yunling.

Xu Haodong hurriedly said: "Secretary Wu, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming......"

Wu Guozhang laughed and squeezed in.

The study was really small, so Xu Haodong had to turn sideways and let Wu Guozhang in.

Wu Guozhang sat on the chair Xu Haodong had just sat on, "Haodong, I'm engaged in a surprise attack, of course you won't know." Ha ha...... Don't be surprised, I've already visited your home in the company of your son. ”

Xu Haodong's wife, Xu Yunjie, and her mother-in-law brought a stool and made tea.

Xu Haodong sat down with the three uninvited guests, and complained to Qiao Jingsheng first, "Minister Qiao, you can be counted as half a Yunling person now, Secretary Wu is coming, you should report to me." ”

Qiao Jingsheng smiled and said, "I'm going to die unjustly." Secretary Wu came by train, and then took a taxi to the city, and rushed directly to the Bayi Hotel where I lived, I was stupid, I thought someone was putting on makeup and pretending to be Secretary Wu. ”

Today's leaders like to carry out surprise attacks, and they also like to go straight into people's homes.

This stems from a popular saying. He said that if you want to really inspect a cadre, you must make a surprise attack, and second, you must go to his home.

Wu Guozhang said to his secretary Xiao Zhiqiang: "Zhiqiang, you are also from the west, and you have also served as a county magistrate. ”

Xiao Zhiqiang smiled and said: "It is equivalent to a department-level cadre, compared with Secretary Xu, our cadres there should feel ashamed." ”
