Beijing, West Mountain Songpo Villa. The meeting between Mr. Liu and Vice Premier Wu Yongtai was almost at the same time that Cai Siqiang met Eric of the old Li family.

It's just that compared to Eric's casual pairing, the meeting between these two bigwigs is much more serious.

After Vice Premier Wu met with Mr. Liu, he exchanged a few words, and Vice Premier Wu drove away the personal secretaries of the two, boiled a pot of mountain spring water by himself, and soaked the Tieguanyin he brought.

Seeing Vice Premier Wu's posture, Mr. Liu knew that what the two of them were talking about today would not only involve SAL company, but a great thing.

So Old Man Liu was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for Vice Premier Wu to complete the full set of procedures for a pot of good tea, "Yongtai, the tea is brewed well" Old Man Liu took a sip of the blue and white porcelain teacup, and praised it sincerely. As soon as this tea is entered, I immediately feel that the aroma is fragrant and long, such as Youlan, the taste is mellow and sweet, and it can still leave a fragrance after drinking, which is worthy of the top-grade Tieguanyin produced in Anxi.

Old Man Liu is seven or eight years older than Vice Premier Wu, how can he be weaker than this junior who has just passed the age of sixtieth year. The two met today, and Vice Premier Wu was in the mood to make good tea, which shows that the meeting time will not be short. And Vice Premier Wu must have something to say to him, so Old Man Liu is not in a hurry to say his own things at all.

Sure enough, after drinking the first tea, Vice Premier Wu had the time to briefly explain a shocking economic plan to Old Man Liu and Pan. Although Mr. Liu does not know much about economic things, he heard that the core part of Vice Premier Wu's plan is actually two things, the first is to internationalize the renminbi and become a new international currency, alongside the US dollar and the euro, in order to complete this huge financial project, Vice Premier Wu has already completed the bilateral currency swap plan and the first step of the negotiation of the renminbi trade settlement with many countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America in the early stage, but in this matter, the United States has been eyeing the tiger. These moves by the Chinese side have been suppressed many times, including provoking confrontation between China and China, making this process difficult.

The second thing is that Vice Premier Wu has formulated an ambitious plan for the development of African resources, and in the process of China's rise, it has suffered enough from the soaring loss of raw material resources, and now the only rich resource source in the world that can be intervened by China is only black Africa, which is still in frequent wars and dire straits. Although these resources in black Africa have not completely fallen into the hands of European and American forces due to frequent turmoil, the chaotic Africa has also made the future of the large-scale development activities planned by Vice Premier Wu uncertain.

But now, with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) showing its muscles to rival the U.S. military in the Diaoyutai War, Vice Premier Wu's plan is no longer a fantasy. Old man Liu did not expect that the third person in zhèng fǔ, who has not been very conspicuous since taking over the domestic economy, has far greater political ambitions than his predecessors.

"Yongtai, the plan you mentioned has not been discussed in the bureau, it involves so wide and has such a far-reaching impact, do No. 1 and No. 2 know about this plan?" Old Man Liu asked, before he had time to say his question, Wu Yongtai threw out such a major thing, naturally in order to find his support, but on the one hand, Old Man Liu is not good at it, it is difficult for him to judge, on the other hand, this matter is attributed to the zhèng fǔ side, he interjected and beat the side drum is okay, if he really wants to jump out of high-profile support, it will inevitably give people a feeling of being noisy and stretching his hand too long.

"Lao Liu, this matter is now No. 1 and No. 2 and Director Zhou and Director Wang understand the overall strategy, because the impact of this strategy is too significant, and it involves a lot of interests in all aspects. In order to avoid a lot of people talking and leaking the news in advance, I only informed No. 1 and No. 2 of this matter for the time being, and the other participants were only responsible for planning one of the links, and they didn't know anything about the whole plan. Wu Yongtai knew Old Man Liu's concerns.

"No. 1 and No. 2 are very supportive of this plan, and they both believe that now our country has gotten rid of the situation of being passively beaten militarily and has become a new force in the world that can compete with the US military in local areas, and from the trend point of view, the difference between our military strength and the US military will become less and less, so in this case, we must also be able to keep up with the economy and further expand our economic development space in the world, and the first thing to bear the brunt of this is to solve our biggest shortcomings in finance. Let the renminbi become an international currency. The second is to solve the problem of our resource supply, and only by solving these two problems can we really open up our living space in the international arena and not be dependent on others all the time. ”

Mr. Liu knows that after more than 40 years of development, the domestic economy has now reached a new bottleneck stage, and now the entire international economic order has formed a very important constraint on the domestic economy, resources, markets, capital, intellectual property rights, etc. Because the RMB is not internationalized, the pricing power of raw material resources and products is firmly in the hands of others;

In the low-end product chain, we have to accept the so-called intellectual property rights of others, a product of a few hundred dollars, most of the work completed in China can only reach a small part of it.

If we do not make a big change in all this, China's economy will never have a chance to develop to the point where it can be on an equal footing with the developed countries of Europe and the United States, and they will only regard us as a dumping market, a cheap manufacturing factory, and use our blood and sweat to achieve their prosperity.

Before Duke was born, there were almost no domestic independent intellectual property rights and brand electronic products that could enter the high-end market, and because of this, Mr. Liu would look at Duke differently, in his opinion, to be able to enter the international high-end market, which is much better than winning the Nobel Prize. Not to mention that many of Duke's things have also become a very important part of the military industry.

After listening to Vice Premier Wu's explanation, Old Man Liu was relieved, "You have a good grasp of this matter." Old man Liu made no secret of his appreciation and support for Vice Premier Wu Yongtai, since there is no problem with No. 1 and No. 2, there is no problem with pushing the boat along the river.

"But we have a lot to do with this plan, and before we do all this, we urgently need an opportunity to take the lead in solving the huge U.S. debt problem," Vice Premier Wu continued, "We have a huge amount of bonds in the United States, which we have accumulated for many years, but it is quite difficult to use them now, and the Americans have been treating this as a hostage for so many years, so many of our economic decisions have to make way for it, and we have lost a lot of national interests." ”

"This is a huge strategic mistake in our handling of foreign reserves, and we have been paying for this mistake for decades, not only to sacrifice some interests in international economic and trade exchanges, but also to endure the pain of continuous depreciation, making it difficult for us to ride a tiger." Speaking of this, Vice Premier Wu was a little heartbroken.

"But now that the SAL matter comes out, we can use this as an excuse to make a fuss," Wu Yongtai finally said what Old Man Liu cared about, "The reason why we have not taken the initiative to intervene in the US side's brutal suppression of SAL is to make them do this more excessively, so that SAL can continue to expose the hegemony and arrogance of the US in international economy and trade in the struggle against the United States, tear apart their so-called fair trade disguise, and let the world see their hypocrisy. At the same time, it has also taught some people in China a living lesson: the more unfair treatment we encounter, the more active we will be in dealing with US debts in the future, and we can naturally dispose of a large part of US debts, and the US side will not be able to come up with any excuses. ”

Although Mr. Liu didn't know how Vice Premier Wu's plan would be implemented, he knew that SAL was used as a gun by them this time, although they just took advantage of the situation, "Yongtai, according to what you say, are you going to take care of SAL this time?" Old Man Liu remembered today's purpose and couldn't help but ask.

"It's not that it doesn't matter, but now the country needs SAL to make certain sacrifices, and of course they won't sacrifice in vain." Vice Premier Wu said, "If we can take advantage of the situation to solve more than half of the US debt problem this time, these huge capital will flow into the field of resources, and become a source of funds for our large-scale development of the South China Sea, the East China Sea and Africa. ”

"This is a big game of chess, SAL is a very key chess piece, not only now they have to assume the role of Mr. Key, in the future development, they will also be one of the protagonists, of course, in this process, we hope that SAL can first become a public company."

For Vice Premier Wu's concern, Mr. Liu deeply agreed, if the behemoth of SAL has been controlled in private hands, then it is a double-edged sword for the country, but once SAL is publicly listed, most of the information is publicly disclosed and the power structure is transparent, although Duke may still continue to control the company because of the majority of shares, but a listed company is subject to many regulatory measures that can make SAL's income and expenses transparent, like Mr. Liu, A bigwig like Vice Premier Wu is reassured that Duke will not use these huge resources to do anything else.

Just like the secret overseas investment funds of Duke that were revealed this time, the amount revealed by Time magazine made the high-level bigwigs moved, no wonder Duke was able to build a so-called space exploration center with a cost of tens of billions of dollars on his own.

Therefore, considering the overall situation, this time the high-level also needs to force SAL from the dark to the light, so it is just the right thing to use the US side to kill two birds with one stone.

If Snyder knew that his actions would induce so many variables, Snyder would definitely not do this, but unfortunately there is no turning back from the bow now, and everything is irreversible.
