Chapter 325: Du gradually prevents cuteness
Deng Feng, as secretary of the Far East Secret Service Committee, was extremely satisfied with the results reported by the Bureau of Economic and Statistical Affairs, and this result was also what he wanted. He was the initiator of this "wealth-making movement" in the Soviet Union. This is the theory of the first rich that he is based on, and the reality he has experienced, and the bold practice of the Soviet Union in this era. In order to speed up the enrichment of these Soviet "elites" as soon as possible, he personally approved many major smuggling activities, the transfer of these people's illegally acquired assets to various special regions of China, and the naturalization of these people as Chinese nationals and the protection of them.
Protect this Soviet "elite" who got rich first. Raise them to be China's most loyal lackeys, and encourage and support these people to seize the power of the Soviet Union and serve China's interests. By using this kind of soft warfare method of killing people without seeing blood, they quietly destroyed the material foundation of the Soviet Union that had been built up over the past 40 years, so that the Soviet Union would maintain "prosperity" in form and become a vassal state dependent on China in content. Practice has proved that this is the most effective way to destroy a socialist country based on public ownership at no cost and with a lot of money.
During the Spring Festival of 1963, Chinese New Year's Eve, Deng Feng met with Khrushchev and his wife Rada, Vikrov, Masrovsky, and other elites of the Soviet party and state [***] who came to give him "New Year's greetings" in Ulaanbaatar, and said: "Poverty is not a characteristic of socialism, and the ultimate goal of socialist revolution and socialist construction is to meet the needs of the people for material and cultural growth, that is, to make all the people living under this system rich and live a good life. Defeat capitalism in the system.
However, due to the limitation of the level of development of the social productive forces in a certain period of time, there is so much wealth that it is impossible to make all the people rich and live a good life at once. I support some of you to get rich first, set an example for the Soviet people, and lead all the Soviet people on the road to common prosperity through the descendants of you revolutionaries.
You represent the future of the Soviet Union, and the hope for the real modernization of the Soviet Union rests on you. As you become rich, you must never forget that it is the superior socialist system that makes you rich, so you must never lose the golden sign of socialism, always hold high the great banner of socialism, always uphold the party's leadership, and ensure that socialism will be passed down in your hands for generations to come. β
Then he said to the Rada: "You are all engaged in the party's propaganda work, and you must do a good job in this propaganda work, because there are some new things that the people may not understand for a while, so you must do a good job in guiding public opinion." The vast majority of thinking and understanding are determined by public opinion and are guided by public opinion. Another important point is that you should not only think about making money in business, but also develop in politics. Comrade Rada is also 30 years old now, right?
"It's 32, Uncle Deng," replied Rada, who was very Chinese.
"If I'm not mistaken, your father, Comrade Khrushchev, was already the second secretary of the Moscow Oblast Party Committee at your age."
Radha nodded and replied in not very fluent Chinese: "Yes, and at the age of 38, he is a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee." β
Deng Feng said to the Soviet veterans in a tone full of encouragement: "Therefore, you must learn from your fathers, and you must also talk about politics in business, don't always rely on your own Lao Tzu, and you yourself must make a difference in the political arena." Deng Feng then pointed to Baikal Governor Hua Pinovsky and Deputy Governor Chiang Ching-kuo, who accompanied him to meet with these Soviet tide stalls, and said: "If you have any difficulties, just look for your Uncle Hua and Uncle Chiang, they have more ways than me." β
"Thank you, Uncle Deng, a few of us came to pay you New Year's greetings, and we didn't bring any decent gifts in a hurry, this villa on Olkhon Island on Lake Baikal is a few of us who honor you, please smile." Worried, Rada handed over the certificate of ownership of the house issued by the Baikal Provincial Real Estate Administration, which bears the national emblem of the People's Republic of China.
Deng Feng smiled and took the green plastic house ownership certificate, looked at "No. 18 Lushui Lakeside Garden, with a construction area of 1,268 meters and an area of land," and he gently closed the real estate certificate. His mood suddenly became very bad, "They all bribed me, what will happen next?" β
He handed the house ownership certificate to Rada again, and said quietly: "The house is good, I have received your mood, but I can't ask for the house, you keep it, and when your parents retire, come and live, it's good." β
Then Deng Feng changed the conversation very seriously and said: "It is a good thing for you to do business with China, everyone is equal and mutually beneficial, and we exchange what we have, which is conducive to the well-being of the people of China and the Soviet Union." We are a big supporter. If we can do something, we will do it, and we will do it well. If you can't do something, you can't do it, and you can't do it with treats and gifts. β
Masrovsky improvised and said, "Uncle Deng, you may have misunderstood. We didn't ask you to do anything. For our benefit. It's just that it's the New Year, and we heard that according to Chinese customs, the younger generation should pay tribute to the elderly, and the old people will give us the younger generations a red envelope. So"
"So you took this villa to honor me, didn't you?" Deng Feng took Masrovsky's words and said: "But next, what kind of red envelope should I, an elder who only has a salary of 688 yuan, 2 jiao and 7 cents a month, give you?" β
"We don't want red envelopes, let's just have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together," Vikrov quickly heard the overtone in Deng Feng's words, and found a step to say: "We have booked it at the Blue Sky International Hotel in Ulaanbaatar, and you can go then." β
Deng Feng thought for a moment, and then pretended to be approachable and said: "Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, or I invite you, tonight at the Waimeng Special Area Guest House, we will eat dumplings together." Good no good? β
"Okay, okay," Radha hurriedly pretended to be naΓ―ve, "I heard that Chinese eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year, right?" Uncle Deng. β
"It's not all, but it's like this in northern China, you have to eat dumplings." Deng Feng continued: "According to Chinese customs, you still want to honor my elders, but not this house. Now when you go back, write me a copy of which Chinese officials you have given gifts to in the past two years, and who have asked you for bribes. As for me, the red envelope must also be given to you juniors, that is, once the situation you reflect is verified, I will give you a reward for reporting. β
Everyone was a little overwhelmed when they heard this, Deng Feng smiled and said to these Soviet tide files: "In order to protect your rights and interests, you will set up an association in the future to collect bribes from Chinese officials, and directly report to me and Secretary Anying." Don't be afraid that you won't be able to do business, I'll be in charge for you. I still say that your business with China is a good thing that is conducive to the well-being of the people of China and the Soviet Union, and we resolutely support you. We will do what we can do, and we will do it well, and whoever doesn't do it will do it for you. You will go to Governor Hua and Governor Chiang. Whoever dares to ask you for a bribe will go directly to the discipline inspection commissions at all levels in China. Important people can go directly to Mao Anying and me. But what you can't do, you don't want to give gifts, you can't do gifts, and once we find out that you have bribed our staff, you don't want to do business in China. How's that, do you think that's good? β
"Okay, that's great," everyone nodded in agreement.
Radha thought for a while and said, "Uncle Deng, let it pass the previous one, it's too bad for buddies according to Chinese parlance, isn't this unloading and killing horses?" β
Deng Feng smiled and said, "It's not unloading the mill to kill the horse, it's unloading the mill to kill the donkey." But this donkey must be killed! Originally, grinding was its job, and it was supposed to do it. But it must steal what it shouldn't eat while grinding. Do you think you can still have such a donkey? Therefore, these donkeys that steal their mouths must be killed. If they are good enough, they shouldn't take your money, let alone ask you for money. You say, don't you? β
After sending off these Soviet tide stalls, Deng Feng turned around and asked Baikal Governor Huapinovsky and Deputy Governor Chiang Ching-kuo: "Tell me about these Soviets looking for you to do things, is there such a situation today?" β
"Yes," the two men replied in unison.
Deng Feng sat on a single sofa, took a deep breath, and asked expressionlessly, "How did you deal with it?" β
"I resolutely enforced the discipline of the party, and I never took any money from them, even the wine they gave me, and I had the secretary hand over all the amount to the general office, all of which are well documented," Vapinovsky replied first.
Deng Feng stared at Warpinovsky and asked, "Why can you do this?" β
"First, it is the requirement of China's [***] discipline, second, I don't lack their things now, and third, the most important thing is that I can't trust them." Warpinovsky finally told the truth.
Deng Feng nodded, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Jingguo.
"I have encountered such a situation many times," Chiang Ching-kuo said calmly: "I am a person who comes, I will accept as much as I can, and I will accept as much as I can." After receiving it, ask the secretary to make a record and hand it over to the office according to the procedure. Generally, it is handed in overnight. After all, is this also how much wealth is created for the country? However, what should be done, or what should be done. The principle must not be violated just because he received a gift. β
Deng Feng said: "There is a saying in China that if you eat other people's mouth, you have to listen to other people's money and favors, isn't that so?" β
"That's not the case," Chiang Ching-kuo said after all, he was born in a family of politicians and has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of thing. "I don't have a short mouth for eating people, and I don't have soft hands for taking people, don't be in vain. First of all, I think that this gift is not for me personally, but for my position, which is set by the state and the people, so these gifts and money belong to the state as a matter of course. Just pass it through my hands for a while. Just like just now, if I had taken over that house, a big house would be worth 200,000 yuan, to say the least. If you sell it, you can give 1,000 workers a month's salary, why don't you? Besides, these people have also been rewarded with this house, so you don't want to cheapen this group of Soviets for nothing. β
"Return?" Deng Feng called Jiang Jingguo to say that he was stunned, and he hurriedly asked, "What return?" β
"Ha, ha, ha" Jiang Jingguo smiled: "Director Deng, think about it, did you see it casually?" Are you just going to take a photo with someone? I'm sure that in the company parlors of these Soviets, the photo of you with each of them today must have hung in the most prominent position. They must have a picture of you taking a picture with them in their purse. It's going to be a huge boost to their status, you know? This is their political capital, is their intangible capital, do they get these more than 200,000? So you just did a stupid thing that you just paid for nothing, and asked others to take advantage of it in vain. β
"According to what you say, I'm so valuable, what kind of director am I still here, I'll just go to the street and take pictures with others to make money, just give 100,000 yuan every time I take a photo!" Deng Feng smiled and said with some disapproval. But he remembered that there was really such a thing, and he had really heard of it before, and some secretaries of big leaders made money from this. Arrange for the chief to cut the ribbon for more money, take a photo with the chief alone, and the chief to inspect your unit for more money. In such a clean country, he got 200,000 less for nothing. Isn't this a big loss, it seems that this little Jiang really has a set.
"What Vice Governor Jiang said has some truth, but I think it's better not to." Warpinovsky said very sincerely: "This is conducive to establishing a positive image of our Chinese people and the political axe of a big country. β
Deng Feng lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then said: "Everyone is a senior cadre of the party, and they should see the issue of money very thoroughly." I don't want people to get stuck on this issue. No matter what you do, there is one thing that you must absolutely grasp, that is, you can't take these into your pocket. In this regard, our party has extremely strict discipline. This is something that can bring a person into disrepute. Therefore, we must educate our staff that the legal net is restored and not leaked, and that we must not stretch out our hands, but must grasp them. β
