Chapter 122: Symposium
In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Zhengdong met Zhou Yuning again at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, last night's drunken cat has become radiant and radiant again, Zhou Yuning talked about some views and views on the development of the private economy, and the speech was very exciting, but Zhou Yuning's eyes were always outside his figure, and it seemed that he still felt a little impressive in his heart. However, Lu Zhengdong also understands that Zhou Yuning just suddenly broke out under a certain special environment and under a specific situation......
After listening to the speech, Lu Zhengdong was about to go out, and the squad leader Zhou Yihua patted him on the shoulder and said: .
"These economists and professors have made wonderful speeches, but now there is a big controversy about vigorously developing the private economy, which makes it difficult for comrades engaged in concrete work to do so."
Zhou Yihua is the deputy director of the General Office of the Provincial Government, belongs to the "protégé of the Son of Heaven", and is recognized as the squad leader.
Lu Zhengdong knew what the controversy Zhou Yihua was talking about came from, and a new thing appeared during this period, that is, the book of ten thousand words that was widely circulated in the whole society. There was such a thing as the Book of Ten Thousand Words in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was written and pasted on the city gate or teahouse to express one's dissent. For example, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang led the Westernization Movement, carried out economic system reform, and established the Jingshi Tongwen Museum to study mathematics, astronomy, foreign languages, and so on. At that time, the imperial family in Beijing was very dissatisfied, and posted posters everywhere and distributed books of 10,000 words, saying that if they did not study the Four Books and the Five Classics, it would be a traitor to learn these Western things.
Some opponents of the development of the private economy have learned these tricks, and a 10,000-word book at the beginning of the year said that the private economy is already very strong. It is precisely because the private economy has developed rapidly that state-owned and collective enterprises have suffered large-scale losses, and what is even more sensational is that they say that the ownership structure of the state has changed, class relations have changed, social consciousness has changed, and the ruling party has also changed. The development of the private economy gave rise to a new bourgeoisie, once the time was ripe. will "connect the party". Therefore, the private economy is a water of disaster, but a living water that people talk about. These people printed their own articles and distributed them, and they distributed a lot, from south to north and from east to west, and all the people who should be watching saw it.
The book of 10,000 words contains a long list of "bourgeois liberalizations", including many prominent media, many economists, jurists, writers and theorists. The Book of Ten Thousand Words calls for stern action against these people and media.
This is a big problem. A director of the Propaganda Department of the provincial party committee said that some cadres in charge of the economy read the book of 10,000 words. I have palpitations, I dare not open my mouth when I want to speak, and I dare not lift my legs when I want to walk.
After seeing this 10,000-word letter, the secretary of the provincial party committee of a certain province had palpitations and postponed a meeting to expand the opening up that was supposed to be held, wanting to see the movements of the capital. So. The book of 10,000 words has been widely circulated, causing a lot of confusion about reform and opening up.
More than a decade later, the non-state-owned economy together generated more than half of GDP, 60 percent of tax revenue, and nearly 80 percent of exports. It has also employed nearly 200 million people. This fact shows that the private economy is not a scourge, but a living water.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhengdong said:
"I think this view is too left, and the problem now is just the opposite, not to mention the private enterprises, even the township enterprises are in an unequal position in the competition. For example, in finance, land, etc. For example, on the entry threshold, there is no support, which is a bit like being raised by a stepmother, not biological. But that's it, these private economies are still full of vitality, which shows a lot of problems, and I think that the private economy should gradually reach a competitive platform on a relatively equal footing with the public economy through a gradual process in terms of market access and so on, and this is the problem to be solved now and for some time to come......
Lu Zhengdong worked all the way from the grassroots level. The role of the private economy in promoting economic development is more concrete and intuitive. But after the training of the county party secretary and deputy mayor, Lu Zhengdong's temperament has become more and more stable, he knows very well that Wanyanshu can't change anything at all, so he is willing to talk about things that have basically formed a consensus in front of Zhou Yihua, and the restructuring of state-owned enterprises has not really entered the stage of tackling tough problems, and some of the proposals have not yet been decided, it is a minefield, and if it is not done well, it will be detained as the culprit of the loss of state-owned assets, so he avoided the problem of state-owned enterprises.
Zhou Yihua sighed and said:
"Personally, I also think that it is still necessary to vigorously develop the private economy, but theory is the forerunner of policy, and if the theory of disaster becomes the mainstream, it will affect the development of the economy, and even the relevant cadres may have to take responsibility at that time."
While the two were talking, Zhou Zhixin, deputy director of the Provincial Bureau of Industry and Commerce, also followed from behind and invited them to eat together.
There is a natural reason for factions and mountains to exist, and it is natural for things to gather like and people to divide into groups.
An important function of studying in a party school is to get to know some friends on the "Tao," and these friends are all leaders of various localities and departments. For example, the cadres of the provincial organs usually have more contact with each other, or the value of using each other is greater, so they spend more time together. Leaders from different municipalities spend a little more time together because they face the same problems and have more common language together. Over time, all sorts of small groups will form.
Before Lu Zhengdong had time to express his position, there was another deputy mayor vying for a treat, Lu Zhengdong was different from them, his mentality was much calmer, officialdom and shopping malls were the most snobbish places, there was no strength and obvious potential, even if he was a great talent, he would be looked down upon. In officialdom, friendship is only a foil, and it is in a complementary position to officialdom interpersonal relationships......
After the group made an appointment with a place to eat, Lu Zhengdong returned to the dormitory, ready to clean up and go out to eat, when the phone rang.
"Wu Shan, what's the matter?"
"Tonight, the provincial party committee and the provincial government will receive several well-known domestic economists and hold a symposium. Minister Liu, please join the meeting. ”
Xin Wushan hurriedly finished speaking neatly, said with a smile and hung up the phone as he had to notify others, Lu Zhengdong hung up the phone and replaced the more casual T-shirt that had been changed into a more formal shirt. called Zhou Yihua and prepared to shirk the night banquet, but Zhou Yihua also received a call and wanted to attend the evening symposium.
So the two made an appointment to go over together, and went downstairs to meet Zhang Yimin, deputy director of the Provincial System Reform Commission.
"Director Zhou, the car from the office is coming, let's go to dinner together."
obviously saw Lu Zhengdong and Zhou Yihua together, but he just greeted Zhou Yihua. The Provincial Commission for the Reform of the Provincial System is a constituent department of the provincial government and is a research. The comprehensive specialized agency that coordinates and guides the reform of the economic system has a great weight in the government departments, so Zhang Yimin really did not look at the deputy mayors of the cities below, but Zhou Yihua is different, Zhou Yihua, as a member of the party group of the provincial government and deputy director of the general office, revolves around the governor and vice governor every day, and the future is bright. Therefore, he is very enthusiastic about Zhou Yihua.
Zhou Yihua said with a little regret:
"Mayor Lu and I can't attend tonight, we just received a notice to participate in the symposium of economists."
Zhang Yimin was stunned when he heard this, and after Zhou Yihua and Lu Zhengdong left, he hurriedly called the office of the Economic Reform Commission to inquire about the situation,...,
The Chief of Staff said:
"This time, several domestic economists went to the province to investigate. Secretary Yang and Governor Chen all attended the evening forum, and in addition to the comrades of our System Reform Commission, we also invited relevant comrades from the Provincial Planning and Economic Commission and the Provincial Department of Finance. ”
"Looks like there's someone in the city down there, too?"
"That's not very clear.
Upon learning of this information, Zhang Yimin became worried, and the province was preparing to set up a provincial leading group for speeding up county-level economic development. The leader of Yang's leading group is the provincial governor, and the deputy leaders include the head of the organization department of the provincial party committee and the director of the propaganda department, and the members are all responsible persons of relevant departments and bureaus. Working in this leading group, I have more opportunities to contact leaders, and it will definitely be more beneficial to my next development.
The secretary and Governor Chen attended the symposium of economists together, and the participants were self-evident, Zhou Yihua attended the meeting, and Zhang Yimin could understand, after all, he was the deputy director of the general office of the provincial government responsible for coordinating economic affairs, and its purpose was to hope that these experts and scholars could make suggestions and suggestions for the development of the province. And Lu Zhengdong had the opportunity to attend the meeting, but he didn't, Zhang Yimin's feeling in his heart was complicated, the System Reform Commission is the vanguard of reform, he is the deputy director of the System Reform Commission, and this time he entered the reserve class after active efforts, Lu Zhengdong can participate in such a symposium, but he does not have his share. This made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Yimang's intuition is correct, the participants of such a symposium are particular, and they will never randomly order people to participate, among the various development zones in Xihe, the development zone in Changtan is very distinctive, and the results are outstanding, Lu Zhengdong, as the leader in charge, was invited to participate in the meeting as a representative of the municipal government......
Lu Zhengdong and Zhou Yihua came to the venue on time, and saw that the economists in the conference room were thunderous except for the familiar Zhou Yuning, and what surprised Lu Zhengdong even more was that Mr. Wu, a silver-haired leader in the domestic economic circles, was also present.
The leaders in the province who attended the symposium were also heavyweights, in addition to the secretary and governor, there were also the organization minister, the propaganda minister, and the executive vice governor.
In addition to Mr. Wu's own influence in the academic and economic circles, the bigwigs in the province attach great importance to Mr. Wu's other identity -- the person in charge of the overall design group for the reform of the national economic system. Its influence at the decision-making level is self-evident.
For leaders who have reached the provincial and ministerial level, ideology is definitely a big issue, and it is necessary to find out the dynamics at the highest level.
The level of participation in the symposium was high, but the number of participants was not large, and the position of each person was determined according to the importance of the main leaders of the province.
Lu Zhengdong sat at the very end, opposite Mr. Wu, with a wise eye under the gold wire glasses, his expression was slightly different from that of the provincial governor Zhu Jianguo and others, and there was a bit of elegance and kindness of scholars and professors in his calmness.
Lu Zhengdong is familiar with Mr. Wu because he is known as the most conscientious economist in China, and he has recently read his plans for the overall design of the reform of the economic system and the reform of the state-owned economy, finance, banking, foreign exchange management, social security, and government functions.
The province invited domestic economists to conduct research. The main reason is to take the pulse of the economy of Xihe Province, and by the way, it also has the meaning of exploring the wind.
Several economists present were supportive of the promotion of the private economy, and Mr. Wu, who was chatting and laughing with Secretary Yang and Governor Chen, listened thoughtfully to everyone's discussions, and did not take the initiative to speak. It wasn't until Governor Chen Jiandong asked him to give his opinion on the development of Xihe that Mr. Wu opened his mouth. …,
"I am not very familiar with the situation in Xihe, I don't have a mature idea, and I won't express any opinions for the time being, but talking about reform is inseparable from changing ideological concepts, and talking about development is inseparable from capital and the market. Let me tell you a story. ”
"At the beginning of the year, I saw a book of 10,000 words, one day at a restaurant dinner, Mr. Ma was also present at the time, talking about the first book of 10,000 words, the owner of the restaurant was also familiar with us and listened to our conversation, the boss changed his face after listening to it, and it didn't take long for him to become an Australian. He transferred his property because he was afraid of another public-private partnership, because he was afraid of arresting him, and now he is an Australian, that is, a foreign businessman, and there are many questions worth pondering. So the chief designer proposed to be vigilant against the right, but mainly to prevent the left, which is very incisive and of practical significance......"
When Mr. Wu spoke, everyone listened quietly. Lu Zhengdong has always paid attention to hard work, and he seriously understood the inner meaning of Mr. Wu's words. In fact, it means that we should change our concepts, not be disturbed by some things, and further carry out reform and development; Mr. Wu did not talk about advanced economic theories, but these few short sentences may also give the provincial leaders a reassurance.
Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but think in his heart. Although it is said that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, in the actual reform and opening up, more often than not, theory precedes practice and argumentation is carried out in practice. In this sense, mastering theory is also of practical significance......
The next day was the weekend, Zhou Yuning and others left Xihe, and Lu Zhengdong was about to go to Shen Rushuang after class, but the organizer Mr. Wu found him:
"Mayor Lu, the school thinks that taking advantage of the trend of these economists coming to Xihe to investigate, to inspect the development of the development zone and the promotion of the private economy, the Long Beach Development Zone is doing very well, just look at Long Beach, how about you introduce your experience at that time?"
Linking theory with practice has always been a tradition of party school study, but Lu Zhengdong also knows that Long Beach City has recently made a lot of trouble because of Yang Kailin's incident, and the department-level reserve class went to Long Beach for investigation and research, which may attract the attention of many media in the province.
"After all, Long Beach is an underdeveloped city, and the pattern of the development zone is still too small, so I think it is better to go to the Gaotang Development Zone for investigation and research."
Lu Zhengdong paused for a moment and said: "It is best to go to the economically developed provinces to see, the development zones and private economies in these places must be higher than ours, and seeing the gap, it will be more touching to everyone." ”
Teacher Wu also smiled:
"Mayor Lu's idea is also good, it can be used as a reference, but if the school leaders don't agree to go to other places, you can't shirk it."
Lu Zhengdong had no choice but to nod and return to the dormitory, Lu Zhengdong thought about it, and it was Ge Yunchang who called and said what Teacher Wu meant.
Ge Yunchang on the phone groaned slightly, and said:
"I welcome the leaders of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, as well as the students of the reserve class at the department and bureau level to come to Long Beach to guide the work, but Zhengdong, you also know the current situation in Long Beach, if you are sure to come, you must notify ...... in advance."
After Lu Zhengdong finished making the call, he went downstairs, ready to enjoy the rare weekend, which actually started on May 1 this year, but for leading cadres, weekends and single holidays are almost the same, anyway, there are things that are continuous.
When he arrived at Shen Rushuang's residence, Shen Rushuang was busy working, and when he saw him coming in and looking, he couldn't help but say:
"Meng Tian is now the host inspector of CCB, and often follows their chief auditor, Sister Lu, to run in the city, and often ...... away from home"...,
As he spoke, he glanced at him and said:
"Isn't it disappointing that I didn't see anyone?"
Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but say when he heard Shen Rushuang's words:
"Oops, did the vinegar bottle slip over? What a big smell of vinegar......"
Shen Rushuang knew that she was uncomfortable with her when she said this, thinking of the three people in the cave, Hu Tianhu Emperor, Shen Rushuang knew that the more she said this, the more uncomfortable she became, so she glared at him and said:
"Hurry up and drink some soup first, and the meal will be fine in a while."
While saying that, he put the tray in his hand on the table, then used a white towel to cushion it, and took the porcelain cup in the tray down, Lu Zhengdong knew that Shen Rushuang was not like Zhang Mengtian, she didn't like to cook, looking at her cautious appearance, Lu Zhengdong felt for the first time that Shen Rushuang really seemed to be a considerate little wife.
Seeing Lu Zhengdong a little surprised, Shen Rushuang also felt a little emotion in her heart, after living and dying together in the cave, she also figured out a lot of things, perhaps, with Lu Zhengdong like this, it is already a fact, such a thing is difficult to judge by right or wrong, the only thing is just a personal understanding, and there is to cherish such a time together......
Lu Zhengdong's heart was full of joy, but now he didn't adapt to the change in that kind of relationship, so he couldn't help but say:
"I can let the famous Director Shen's jade hands serve me soup and tea, I don't know how many wooden fish I broke in my last life!"
When Shen Rushuang heard this, a trace of blush crossed his face, and he glanced at Lu Zhengdong lightly, and said:
"Okay, don't be poor, hurry up and drink and eat."
Lu Zhengdong smiled, although he had experienced Emperor Hu Tianhu in the cave for two days, but after returning to reality, the crazy Shen Rushuang still returned to be a little reserved, if it was Zhang Mengtian, he would definitely have fallen into his arms at this time. ……,
