Xu Haodong really calmed down, arrested Qiu Fangzheng and the three "economists", public opinion was boiling, the pressure was heavy, and the crisis was everywhere, but he held a meeting leisurely. Moreover, it was a meeting of a considerable scale, which was attended not only by all the members of the four leading groups, but also by the top leaders of the party committees and governments of the townships and neighborhoods, as well as the principal responsible persons of the departments directly under the municipal government, with more than 150 participants, and the No. 3 conference room was packed.

The theme of the meeting was to report on the economic situation of Yunling City this year and the preliminary arrangements for next year's economic work, as well as the theoretical study of economics.

In accordance with the urgent request of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, the meeting was open to the public, open to the media, and broadcast live on television and the Internet.

Xu Haodong knew that the urgent request of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee was actually the request of Li Zhihong, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and he was willing to carry it out.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Acting Mayor Li Jiguo announced the opening of the meeting.

The meeting was first made by Executive Vice Mayor Kong Zhenghao, who reported on the economic situation of Yunling City since the beginning of this year, although there was no content in December, but the economic data of the first 11 months were enough to show that the economic situation of Yunling City this year was very good.

Ten minutes later, Acting Mayor Li Jiguo reported on the preliminary arrangements for next year's economic work, focusing on the following points: first, restarting the central square project, second, the development of the Dawan Islands and the surrounding sea areas, third, 220,000 acres of barren mountain greening plan, and 4, 33.5 acres of tidal flat aquaculture plan.

There is also a major bright spot in Li Jiguo's briefing: The total investment of the above four projects is expected to be 23.5 billion yuan next year, and the government will not invest a penny, and all of them will be completed by private funds.

At ten o'clock, Li Jiguo finished his briefing, and then announced loudly, "Comrades, the next thing is our study time, and the main content of today's study is economic theory, which will be given by Comrade Xu Haodong, secretary of the municipal party committee. ”

Xu Haodong nodded, but did not get up, and there was no applause at the same time. Because this is Xu Haodong's new requirement, applause is not allowed for the general content of the meeting.

"Comrades, before we begin to study, I would like to make a little supplement to the briefings of the two mayors. With regard to this year's economic situation, the city's gross national product increased by 11 percent over last year, which is the result of squeezing out the moisture of last year's statistics; I can say that most of last year's data were false, and some of them were ridiculously false, and this year's data basically had no moisture, and they were true and reliable. ”

"As for the preliminary arrangements for next year's economic work, Comrade Jiguo has just said in great detail, and comrades and people from all walks of life are welcome to log on to the website of the Yunling City Government to make inquiries. I would just like to add here that the investment period of the four major projects is five to ten years, that is, the total investment of 23.5 billion yuan next year is just the beginning. According to my personal estimates, the total investment amount for the full completion of the four major projects will require at least 300 billion yuan at constant prices. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Haodong paused, "Then some comrades want to ask, Yunling City has not been effective in attracting investment in recent years, and it has not even attracted investment this year, and now the government is not involved in investment, so where will next year's 23.5 billion come from?" From the people, from the vast number of small and medium-sized enterprises, we have two major sources of wealth in Yunling City, one is the ordinary people, who have more than 100 billion yuan in their hands, and the other is nearly 20,000 small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, whose working capital is at least 120 billion yuan. Therefore, our investment promotion is mainly to attract local businessmen to attract local investment, which is also one of the main tasks of our Yunling City in the future. ”

Some comrades are going to ask again, since there is so much private capital and private capital is willing to invest, why don't you complete the four major projects as soon as possible, but prefer to complete them within five to ten years? Comrades, this is the issue of economic laws that we should attach importance to, and it is also related to our study today. I will cite just one example, for example, the development of the Dawan Islands and the surrounding waters, I am most worried about two issues, one is environmental protection, and the other is scale, the land area of the Dawan Islands is less than 20 square kilometers, if there is no step-by-step, planned, and limited development, countless funds will rush up, this is not called the development of the Dawan Islands, but the destruction of the Dawan Islands. ”

"Here, there is a big problem in economics, whether the market economy needs the government's macroeconomic regulation and control, is our Yunling Municipal Government in the launch of the development plan of the Dawan Islands and the surrounding waters, everything is handed over to the market, let the capital play at will, you can do nothing? I don't think it's okay, I have to care, if I don't care, it will definitely be messed up. When an army fights, the enemy on the opposite side is clear and visible. And capital is rampant, big capital destroys small capital, small capital eats private scattered capital, interests first, self-oriented, can be in the same project in the same project as an enemy to eat. ”

This has given rise to two different camps in economics, one advocates macroeconomic regulation and control, a bit of the shadow of the planned economy in the past, called macroeconomics. The other advocates microeconomics, advocates the market first, and even leaves everything to the market based on reality, which is called microeconomics. There are two main sets of economic theories in the world today, what is economics? Some people say that economics is the study of how a society uses scarce resources to produce valuable goods and distribute them among different individuals, and some people say that economics is a study of wealth, and it is also a study of people. ”

"Microeconomics is the study of decision-making between individuals or between individuals and other individuals, including the consumption of economic goods, the input of scarce resources in the production process, the allocation of resources, the choice of distribution mechanisms, and so on. Macroeconomics, on the other hand, focuses on regional and national levels, and common analyses include income and production, money, prices, employment, and international trade. In general, economic theory is based on the assumption of the maximization of rationality, and each person will choose the best option for himself within his limitations. It does not matter whether the assumptions in economic theory are true or false, as long as the hypotheses are inferred with verifiable implications, and can explain and speculate about the real world, we will accept the theory. ”

"That is to say, all theories that have the ability to explain must have the possibility of being overturned by later facts, and even if they are not overturned by current facts, we can never prove that this theory is correct, because the next event will always have the opportunity to overturn this theory, comrades, because the world is always dynamic."
