Text 670 Chapter [-] Extremely Shocking

Liu Guanglei understood why the reform committee did not approve their request for a price increase for so long. It turned out that it was because of Vice Premier Mu. It seems that the No. [-] leader took everything into consideration and introduced the market competition mechanism step by step. into the oil industry. ***

"Long, the oil industry is related to the country's energy security, and must be controlled by state-owned enterprises. In fact, we don't want to charge additional fees for oil refineries in northern Xinjiang, but want to bring them into a unified management scope."

Seeing that Liu Guanglei didn't understand what he meant, Mu Guoxing smiled and said: "In the early stage of reform and opening up, the national economic reform adopted a strategy of basically not moving the state-owned economy and seeking development outside the system, that is, 'incremental reform. strategy' and has achieved great success. The most important result has enabled the private economy to grow from the bottom up and grow stronger day by day."

There was a pause.Mu Guoxing also said: "However, adopting an incremental reform strategy to enable the growth of the private economy is only the prelude to the reform and development of this big drama. Without a thorough reform of the state-owned economy, it is impossible to establish a market mechanism to lay the foundation for resource allocation. Xìng market economic system."

Mu Guoxing talked eloquently: "First, without reforming the state-owned economy, it is difficult to improve the overall efficiency of the national economy. In the first ten years of reform and opening up, the country's economic growth and efficiency improvement basically came from the non-state-owned sector, while the The state-owned sector, which is the main part of economic resources, not only grows slowly, but also tends to decline in efficiency. The number of loss-making enterprises has increased year by year. As a result, by the middle of the 90s, the entire state-owned enterprise sector was in a predicament. This situation is bound to It drags down the entire country's fiscal and financial system. Among them, the banking system has accumulated a large amount of bad debts and faces great systemic risks."

"Second, the coexistence of the dual system has created a lot of room for rent-seeking, making it difficult to curb the trend of corruption. The incremental reform strategy is implemented to allow the development of the private economy and introduce some The market mechanism has brought about a dual-track coexistence of the command economy and the market economy in the national economy. Since the command economy is an economy dominated by administrative orders, and the market economy is an economy dominated by the interests of various market stakeholders, the dual system and dual The coexistence of operating rules will inevitably create a huge space for rent-seeking activities where power disrupts transactions."

"Whether state-owned enterprises' expansion against the trend and strengthening of their status is a disaster or a blessing to the long-term development of the national economy cannot be judged by their short-term profits, but by its impact on the improvement of the market system and the long-term economic development. Judgment. As for whether the efficiency of state-owned enterprises is higher than that of private enterprises, there have been empirical analyzes made by research institutions, which have made negative conclusions supported by detailed data.”

"According to the requirements of the central government to insist on equal protection of property rights and form a new pattern of equal competition and mutual promotion of various ownership economies, in the next period of time, it is necessary to break administrative monopoly, maintain competition order, improve market rule of law and realize fair law enforcement, and build Modern market system. Promoting the reform of the state-owned economy is a very difficult task, and it will inevitably encounter resistance and obstacles from outdated ideology and special vested interests. However, if this task is not completed in this way, it will be impossible to establish a A legal market economic system for common prosperity and sustainable and stable development. Therefore, all those who care about economic prosperity and social progress should make every effort to achieve this task.”

At this time, Mu Guoxing didn't have the airs of the No. [-] head of the Central Committee, just like a university professor, preaching and teaching his students.Mu Guoxing is also very clear that for hundreds of large state-owned enterprises, relying on administrative orders alone will not work at all. These leaders must be made to understand the situation ideologically, and the development of the national economy depends on state-owned and private-owned enterprises. Only two legs can embark on the road of healthy development.

Liu Guanglei came to see Mu Guoxing with the idea of ​​being criticized, but he knew Mu Guoxing's strength.Only Chen Mingchu, the former president of the group, was not only dismissed as an official but also thrown into prison because he did not earnestly implement the policies of the central government and refused to listen to Mu Guoxing's greetings.As the saying goes, kill chickens for monkeys, as long as the boss of the biggest company is killed, the heads of other units will understand that the company belongs to the state, and if they are to manage it, they must obey the orders of the central government honestly. Chi, there are several ways to deal with them waiting in the center.

Liu Guanglei felt that it was time to say something: "Sir, our understanding is still misunderstanding. We only considered the security of the national energy, but did not consider the healthy development of the national economy. I understand after listening to your instructions. From now on, we will stick to the Do our job well in accordance with the spirit of the Central Committee’s instructions.”

Mu Guoxing laughed. He also knew that it was impossible to completely change Liu Guanglei's thinking based on this conversation alone, but no matter what, at least Liu Guanglei's statement was good, and it also let him know that private enterprises are allowed to enter Monopoly industry is the country's long-term development strategy.

"Your statement is very good. That's why I just said that state-owned enterprises should play an exemplary role. The document you issued a few days ago has a very bad influence. Many leading comrades in the central government are against you. I am not satisfied with this approach. I will give you three months to eliminate the adverse effects in this area, put down the airs and take the initiative to discuss cooperation issues with oil refining companies in northern Xinjiang. You have a very complete and relatively mature sales system, You can work harder on this aspect, otherwise, in a few years, you will lose most of the market in the north."

Liu Guanglei nodded and did not speak. He knew that Mu Guoxing was talking about the fact that he was about to give birth.According to the reports of oil companies in several northern provinces, the situation is indeed serious. As soon as the fuel oil from oil refineries in northern Xinjiang was launched on the market, it quickly occupied half of the north due to its high quality and low price. The price is high, and no one cares about it gradually, especially some big customers like the army no longer use oil from the oil group, but instead buy from the oil refinery in Beijiang.

Under the current circumstances, the oil group has only two ways to go, one is confrontation, but this will lead to the emergence of more private gas stations in various places. Will put the oil group in the eyes.Another way is to cooperate as Mu Guoxing said. With the perfect sales system of the Petroleum Group and the good oil quality of the Beijiang Oil Refinery, a strong alliance will be formed. The two sides will have a win-win situation, but now the problem has arisen again. However, if they open up their own sales channels to oil refineries in northern Xinjiang, then the oil group must undergo large-scale rectification.It is absolutely impossible to improve the quality of the product first, and then lower the price, and then rely on the reform committee to agree to their price increase as before, or to say that it is absolutely impossible to only increase but not decrease.But if there is no price increase, how can we meet the profit target issued by the central government?

This year is Liu Guanglei's first year as the president of the Petroleum Group. After taking office, everyone wants to make some achievements, and the company's profit indicators are the most convincing.

"Damn Beijiang Oil Refining Group, what are you doing with me!" Liu Guanglei cursed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face.Facing such a powerful No. [-] commander and holding such a powerful sword in the central economic development strategy, who would dare not listen to him?At this moment, Liu Guanglei realized that not only his oil group, but also other state-owned enterprises would not have an easy life in the future.

When Liu Guanglei was leaving, Mu Guoxing said: "Comrade Guanglei, what I told you today is also going to be said at the plenary session of the Central Committee. This will become the programmatic document of our country for a long historical period in the future. I hope you can communicate with other state-owned enterprise bosses. The further reform of state-owned enterprises is of great importance. The central government has decided

Text two thousand 670 eight chapters to stabilize Huaxia

Wu Duan took a few deep breaths, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, thought for a while and asked: "Minister Wu Guai, you said at the last cabinet meeting that after stopping Huaxia's engineering projects, they will only mention Protesting will not take other tough measures.***However, the current situation is just the opposite. Huaxia's attitude on this matter is extremely tough. Let us make further explanations, and how should we answer this question? ?”

Wu guessed with a smile: "Mr. Prime Minister, stopping Huaxia's construction projects is a decision made by the cabinet collectively, and it was approved by Mr. Chairman. If we don't do this, can we get Japan's aid to us? We must know that modern shipbuilding The establishment of the factory will be of great benefit to our economic development. At that time, other countries in ASEAN will beg us to buy advanced ships, and China only knows how to plunder our resources. The few they built in our territory Isn't this project a good example?"

What Wu Chai said was very high-sounding, as if everything was for the country, but only he knew the real purpose.Thinking of the 100 million US dollars that the Japanese gave him, a beach house in Hawaii, and the beautiful and gentle Japanese chicks in the villa, Wu Guai felt a burst of heat in his heart. After getting so many benefits, if he doesn't help others Something, that's too uninteresting.

As for how Huaxia reacted, that was their business, and Wu Guai didn't care at all.Huaxia is like a rich local rich man, very timid, and will only protest when he is bullied.Although some time ago they sent troops to the Filipino country to protect the overseas Chinese, it was because the Filipino country annoyed them and they had to do so due to domestic pressure. I heard that they are going to withdraw again recently.

Myanmar is not the same as Filipino. For decades, Huaxia has regarded Myanmar as a friendly neighbor. In addition, Huaxia does not want to lose the big market of ASEAN. In other aspects, I ask Myanmar, so I dare not offend the little brother Myanmar.

As for Huaxia's unusually tough attitude this time, Wu Guai believes that they are just bluffing under the pressure of the domestic people.Don't say that the Burmese military didn't intervene in this matter. Even if it really intervened, wouldn't Huaxia dare to invade and occupy Burma like it did with Fei?

In the past, Myanmar was afraid of China because there was no foreign aid. Now that it has the support of the United States and Japan, is it still necessary to be afraid of China?Just the few ships of advanced weapons and equipment shipped by Japan in the past two months are enough to show that Japan is sincerely helping Myanmar.

Wu guessed that the more he thought about it, the happier he was. Huaxia’s anti-aircraft carrier missiles are really powerful, and they can scare away the US aircraft carrier battle group. The strike ability is also unmatched by Huaxia at present.

Prime Minister Wu Duan was choked by Wu Chai's words. After thinking about it, he really couldn't find anything to refute Wu Chai. Although the cabinet meeting was forced by Wu Chai to stop the Huaxia Project, but It was also approved by all cabinet members. If the public knew that the Minister of Defense had actually controlled the cabinet, then he, the prime minister, would be even more disgraced.

At this time, Wu Duan had no choice but to give in. It is really difficult to be the prime minister who is caught in the cracks. What else can he do besides compromise?

"Gentlemen!" Foreign Affairs Minister Wu Tara came out to make peace at this time: "Now what we need to discuss is how to deal with Huaxia's aggressive diplomatic pressure. Should we leave other issues to be discussed later. Just at the meeting Two hours before this meeting, Mr. Wei Anguo, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Huaxia, personally called me, urging our government to carefully consider Huaxia's attitude, and not to do things that make loved ones hurt their enemies."

Wu guessed with a smile: "Well, let me say that this is Huaxia's bluff, otherwise, why would their foreign minister make this call. My opinion is that the Foreign Ministry can refute Huaxia's conditions one by one. .First, they stopped their projects in Myanmar because it involved environmental issues. We are an elected government, so we must take care of public opinion. Second, as for the attack on the Chinese, we can say that after investigation, there is no Now the Burmese are involved in this matter, and there are no terrorists in Myanmar. In addition, we have to show them our position, and we do not welcome any foreign troops to enter Myanmar. If they want to forcefully intervene, it will definitely affect the Regarding the relationship between the two countries, the Myanmar government will reconsider Huaxia’s proposal to build oil pipelines and railways in our country.”

Although Wu Duan is a little cowardly, he is the prime minister of a country after all. Compared with Wu Chai, the Minister of Defense, he looks at the problem more comprehensively: "Minister Wu Chai's proposal can be considered. Should I ask Minister Wu Tara to discuss with the Thai side again?" Communicate, I am afraid that the pressure they are facing now is definitely not less than us. In this matter, the governments of our two countries must advance and retreat together. In addition, the reply to Huaxia must be euphemistic. You must know that Huaxia has been in the past year The attitude when dealing with international affairs is getting tougher. If it doesn’t work, we will shift the responsibility to the drug dealers in the Golden Triangle and let Huaxia send troops to suppress them.”

Wu Guai opened his mouth and closed it again. He originally wanted to object to Wu Duan handing over those drug dealers, but it was really hard to say such words.We can't use the reason that drug dealers pay tribute to Wuchai's family every year. We must protect them. No one dares to put this kind of thing on the table. No matter how powerful the Communist Party is, it also dare not go against the will of the people.

In fact, Wu Duan wanted to get rid of those drug dealers a long time ago, but he never had this opportunity. Now, getting rid of those people with the help of the Huaxia army can weaken the power of the Wuchai family, and at the same time make Huaxia vent their anger. As for directing all the anger on the Burmese government, and Wu Duan can also gain a good reputation in this matter, at least the International Drug Enforcement Agency is very supportive. This is really a good idea that kills two birds with one stone.

When the meeting was about to end, the director of the Prime Minister's Office hurried in and put a document in front of Wu Duan.

Wu Duan stood up suddenly as if his butt was burned by fire: "What? Huaxia even sent armed police to patrol the international waters of the Golden Triangle. Have they obtained our consent?"

Foreign Minister Wu Tala took the document and looked at it: "Mr. Prime Minister, since the Golden Triangle is known as international waters, any country has the right to enter. I think there is nothing wrong with China sending armed police into this waters to protect its citizens."

Wu Chai said coldly on the side: "Minister Wu Tala, it seems that you have forgotten something. According to the joint memorandum signed by the three governments of Myanmar, China and Thailand five years ago, none of the three countries can send troops into the area without authorization. Huaxia’s doing so is a violation of the agreement, and we will unite with Thailand to lodge a protest against Huaxia.”

"Minister Wu Chai, as a foreign minister, it is impossible for me to forget the content of this important agreement. The agreement stipulates that the three countries are not allowed to send regular troops into the area, but it does not prohibit police patrols. We and Thailand's water police Don't they also patrol this water area frequently? Why can't Huaxia do what we can do? This reason is obviously untenable."

The cabinet meeting quarreled over this matter. Wu Duan looked at these ministers in his government, and felt a burst of sadness in his heart. At this time, he felt that he was old and could no longer control the situation in the cabinet. Let Wu Guai and his gang go on messing around, and the fate of the country may be like that of Fei.It is purely wishful thinking that the Americans and Japanese will support Burma. Philippe also signed a mutual defense treaty with the United States. When they were attacked by the Chinese army, didn’t they see the United States send a single soldier?
