life in the sky

After 10 minutes, Brennan finally finished his speech. Perhaps he was tired from talking too much, or he was too eager. As soon as Brennan finished speaking, he picked up the drink on the table and drank it in big gulps. Finally, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel placed in a small dish.Mu Guoxing noticed Brennande's small movements, and he knew that the old man was in a hurry.Greece's domestic economy is in a mess right now, and it is waiting for Huaxia to rescue it. It would be strange if he was not in a hurry.I am afraid that their president and all cabinet officials are also eagerly waiting for Huaxia's statement at this time.

Mu Guoxing said with a slight smile: "Mr. Vice Premier, you just briefly introduced the current situation of your country's sovereign debt crisis. I still have different opinions on this issue. Please allow me to express it so that we can both Let's have a meaningful discussion."

Brennan looked at Mu Guoxing and thought to himself, now we are begging you, even if I want to disagree with you, I have to have the guts. Your prime minister has already said it, and you are fully responsible for this negotiation. , if I annoy you, this trip will be in vain.

"Mr. Director, please tell me. I like to listen to my friends' opinions, and you are the most famous economist in China. We are very happy to get your advice."

Who said that foreigners can't flatter horses? There was one before, but it was much worse than the Chinese officials. At least it hadn't reached the level of proficiency. .Mu Guoxing smiled and said: "I personally think that the sovereignty issue is actually the main reason for the deepening of the economic crisis." Speaking of this, Mu Guoxing deliberately paused, and he saw Brennan's eyebrows trembling involuntarily a few times. Next, I know that this question has aroused the old man's high attention.

"Historically, the private sector was relatively indebted during the economic boom, and the government's fiscal deficit worsened after each crisis. Mr. Brennand wouldn't deny that, would he?"

Brennan didn't understand what Mu Guoxing meant when he said this, so he nodded in doubt, and then Mu Guoxing said again: "I think it is the particularity of the euro zone that boosted Greek sovereignty. The debt problem arises."

This is really an astonishing statement. Not only Brennan and his ministers, but even Huaxia's ministers couldn't understand why Mu Guoxing would suddenly throw out such an argument.You must know that the negotiation between the representatives of the Chinese and Greek governments is not a purely academic discussion. Mu Guoxing's speech represents the Chinese government. If any diplomatic disputes arise, it will be in big trouble.

Mu Guoxing looked at everyone's astonished eyes, smiled slightly, and said confidently: "The unified monetary policy currently implemented in the euro zone lacks a unified fiscal policy, and there is no independent monetary policy, which makes the member countries lack an important macro-control On the one hand, this has led countries to rely too much on the fiscal policy within the EU when facing the impact of the economic crisis, and the Greek government’s economic regulation is almost completely dependent on it. Since the outbreak of the financial crisis, the Greek government has, in order to save the economy, To avoid a recession, you have to expand fiscal spending to stimulate the economy, and as a result, the deficit is even worse, which is why it is what it is today."

Brennan understood a little bit, he knew that what Mu Guoxing said really existed.Recently, economists in Greece have been arguing fiercely about this issue.But now even if Greece understands this truth, it is impossible for Greece to withdraw from the euro zone. The lack of continuity in the policy may cause even greater troubles.

Mu Guoxing looked at Brennan and said: "The member states of the European Union are backed by the powerful economy of the European Union at the same time. The financing costs of each member state are relatively low, which has boosted the imprudent fiscal expenditure behavior of each country; On the one hand, it has also led to the emergence of differentiation among countries, and the data show that the fiscal deficits of countries with relatively high labor costs are also very high."

Among the high-ranking officials accompanying Brennan on his visit to China, there are also some economists who are now interested in Mu Guoxing's speech.They knew that Mu Guoxing was not trying to provoke the relationship between Greece and the European Union, but was analyzing with them the cause of Greece's sovereign crisis.It is not terrible to have a problem. The most terrible thing is that the cause of the problem cannot be found. If you cannot learn the lesson, you will make the same mistake in the future.Now Huaxia is willing to lend a helping hand. If the same mistake is made again, Huaxia will not help, the answer must be no.

Mu Guoxing said: "Greece is now too dependent on cyclical industries that are seriously affected by the crisis. Among the EU economies, Greece is an economically underdeveloped country. Due to its relatively weak economic foundation, especially the relatively backward industrial manufacturing industry, Greece mainly relies on shipping, Tourism and overseas remittances, the three major foreign-demand industries, are the pillar industries for foreign exchange income. During the financial crisis, these industries were hit hardest. As one of the top five tourist destination countries in the world, Greece’s tourism industry It accounts for 5% of gdp. Greek tourists are mainly from Europe and the United States, especially Americans. Therefore, it is not difficult for the Greek tourism industry to be affected when European and American people lose their jobs due to the financial crisis or their incomes decrease sharply. Imagine."

Seeing the convinced expressions on the faces of several people in Brennan, Mu Guoxing knew that his speech had worked, took a sip of tea and continued: "When there is no problem in the world economy, Greece can rely on the strong economic power of the European Union." strength, lend money at a very low interest rate, and then invest in other high-profit virtual economies to earn the difference, but once a global financial crisis occurs, it will bear the brunt of losses, and the development of the world economy has already It proves that this periodicity not only exists but also becomes more and more obvious."

This is what Mu Guoxing said, if Brennande and the others couldn't understand, they would be complete fools.They know very well that the current situation in Greece is the same. They borrow old debts to repay new debts, obtain loans at low interest rates from within the EU, and then invest them in virtual economies such as US treasury bonds with higher returns. They are gone.Therefore, the inertia of the people has been caused, thinking that the pie will fall from the sky forever.

Just when they thought that Mu Guoxing would continue talking, or would give them some suggestions to solve these problems, they didn't expect Mu Guoxing to stop the topic in time, and said with a smile: "I just made a little personal suggestion. It remains to be discussed whether the proposal is in line with the actual situation. As for how to solve these problems, I believe that the Greek people are wise enough to handle them well. The diplomatic principle we pursue is that we will not interfere in the internal affairs of any country."

VIP Two Thousand 440 Chapter Six The Greatest Benefit

Brennan was a little depressed. It was like when reading a novel, the author suddenly came up with a sentence and listened to the next chapter when he saw a lively place. It whetted people's appetite, but he didn't You said it was uncomfortable or not.

In fact, Mu Guoxing's remarks were indeed well-timed. If he said too much, he would inevitably be suspected of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. If he said too little, it would not serve as a warning to Brennan.They can't let them think that the government officials of Huaxia Kingdom are all fools, and they can't hear the lies he said when he introduced the domestic economic situation in Greece just now. Since they can even tell the deep-seated reasons for their sovereign debt crisis, so what? Can you not know the current situation in their country? The first meeting between the two sides ended like this. After Mu Guoxing sent Brennande and others away, the ministers around him still didn't understand. He smiled and said: "Do you think that the questions I talked to the other party today are a bit too profound? In fact, this is mainly because you have done too little research on economic issues. Now I still have some time, in order to unify everyone's understanding , I can tell you something."

These ministers were eager for Mu Guoxing to tell them some knowledge in this area. Now that Mu Guoxing said this, they naturally pricked up their ears and got [-] points of energy.We must know that only by better understanding the intention of the leader can the work we do be more in line with the intention of the leader.

Mu Guoxing said: "There are three main ways to solve the sovereign debt problem of Greece: currency devaluation, economic improvement and external assistance. First, currency devaluation is not applicable to the member states of the euro area, because as a subsidiary of the euro As an emerging market country in the region, Greece does not have its own independent currency, so naturally it cannot dilute its own debt pressure through currency depreciation. Moreover, as an economically underdeveloped country, Greece does not have the powerful power to operate a world currency like the United States, and of course it cannot Reduce your own debt burden by issuing currency. Therefore, Greece’s debt crisis can only be resolved through non-monetary means.”Secondly, it may be the most effective and pragmatic way to gradually offset the debt burden with the effects of economic growth. But at the same time, the method of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure while reducing the deficit will also put Greece and other countries in a dilemma.Finally, seeking foreign aid is the key to the prospects of the Greek sovereign debt crisis.This is because more than 5% of Greek national debt and 9% of bank bonds are held by EU member states and European banks. The spread of the Greek sovereign debt crisis will have a major impact on the euro zone. will be key to avoiding the spread of the sovereign debt crisis.Judging from the current situation, the resolution of Greece's sovereign debt crisis is most likely to make progress in this regard. "

Mu Guoxing paused for a while, gave several ministers a time to digest and absorb, took a sip of tea and continued: "Although the EU's staunch elements such as Britain, France and Germany are all opposing the EU's assistance to Greece, Its main purpose is still to increase the urgency for Greece to solve its own problems through a strong statement. For the European Union, problems in any country will affect other member states, especially in the context of using a single currency, the impact will be even greater It is far-reaching. Therefore, it is the general trend for the EU to extend a helping hand to Greece in the future. However, in order to warn against Greece’s irresponsible debt behavior, the EU may also impose corresponding sanctions on Greece at the same time. At this time, our China If the country extends a helping hand in time, it will kill the birds with one stone.” Although none of these ministers studied economics, they all understood Mu Guoxing’s words, especially Finance Minister Hua Jia Qiang breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.Ever since Mu Guoxing vetoed the Ministry of Finance's purchase of Greece's sovereign debt of 50 billion euros and proposed to purchase no less than [-] billion euros of sovereign debt, Hua Jiaqiang has always been concerned. Economists and financiers have discussed this matter together.As a result, everyone expressed doubts about Mu Guoxing's purchase of Greek sovereign debt. The worry is that Greece will not be able to repay the debt. At that time, the [-] billion euros we took out will be for nothing. Float.

"Long, you spoke so well, so I am completely relieved, and I can finally sleep well tonight."

Hua Jiaqiang's words caused a few ministers to chuckle. In fact, everyone knew that this was Hua Jiaqiang's real psychology at the moment. 80 billion euros, according to the current exchange rate, is close to hundreds of billions of yuan. Once this investment fails, the money will go to waste, and it will be a crime against the country and the people. This responsibility is anyone's responsibility Great.

Mu Guoxing also saw the minds of these ministers, and said: "The specific situation must be treated in a specific way, which is in line with the theoretical point of view of materialism. Now the growing government debts of all countries in the world have become factors that affect the future fate of the world economy. One of the main challenges. In the long run, due to the slow and difficult recovery of the global economy, the possibility that global sovereign debt risks will continue to accumulate and even explode in the future cannot be completely ruled out. It may cause no less damage to the global economy than this The only difference is that it will no longer be the banking and financial system that will be hit, but those countries that cannot pay their debts. If we want to increase our voice in the world, we must have All you have to do is take advantage of this opportunity to do something.”

Mu Guoxing looked into the distance. These ministers saw the deep eyes of this young central chief. At this time, they all had an idea. If this person is at the helm of our country, the greatness of the Chinese nation will be achieved. Revival is definitely not empty talk.In the next two days, after bargaining, the two sides finally reached an agreement.The Chinese government will purchase the 81 billion long-term national sovereign debt of the Greek government. As for why the Greek government did not meet the requirements, Mu Guoxing has his own plans.If Huaxia wants to obtain the greatest benefits in the future, they must hang their appetites, and Mu Guoxing doesn't want to feed them all at once.

As for Mu Guoxing's goal of using the national currency for settlement of bilateral trade, it was not possible to achieve it in this negotiation. This is because this matter is too important, not to mention Brennan, the deputy prime minister, even if it is his country. The prime minister and the president have no right to answer. This question has been discussed for a long time, and the Greek side still needs to be approved by the parliament.But no matter what, Mu Guoxing took advantage of this opportunity to successfully narrow the relationship with the Greek government and let the Greek people know that Huaxia is a capable and trustworthy friend.As long as good relations are established between the governments and peoples of the two countries, it won't be too long before the trade between the two countries is settled in their own currencies.

Not only that, Mu Guoxing also opened up a new path for Huaxia's foreign exchange reserves in the next step, avoiding the dangerous practice of putting all eggs in one basket in the past.This is very beneficial to the safety of our country's foreign exchange reserves and economic development.

The night before Brennan left China, he held a thank-you banquet at the Greek Embassy in China.The old man changed his frowning look a few days ago, and talked and laughed happily at the banquet. Apart from expressing his heartfelt thanks to Mu Guoxing, the most he said was sorry.The sorry he said was that he did not reach an agreement with China on the settlement of trade between the two countries in their own currencies, and he repeatedly stated that after returning to China, he must do his best to facilitate this matter, so as to realize the peace between the governments and peoples of the two countries. Full friendship.

At the appreciation banquet, Mu Guoxing also received a phone call from the Prime Minister of Greece. The old prime minister also expressed his gratitude to the Chinese government for its assistance to the Greek government, and formally extended an invitation to Mu Guoxing on behalf of the Greek government. Mu Guoxing will visit Greece at a convenient time.This is also the first time Mu Guoxing has received an invitation from a western country after he embarked on an official career.It indicates that Mu Guoxing, the prince, has since entered the vision of the Western government.

Mu Guoxing's series of victories in diplomacy not only proved his ability to work in this area with facts, but also silenced some people who thought he was young and inexperienced.At the same time, it also made these people understand the truth that aspiring people do not depend on their age, those who are capable are capable, and those who are incapable of living to a hundred years old are mediocre.

Some people who were going to see Mu Guoxing's diplomatic jokes changed their minds now.Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. They used to only hear people say that Mu Guoxing was very capable, but they didn't quite believe it. Now that the facts were in front of them, they couldn't help but not believe it.

The local elections in various provinces and cities are progressing very smoothly, and all are conducted according to the nominations of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.Several of Mu Guoxing's old subordinates have also successfully taken up new leadership positions. The party leads everything. Can the candidates proposed by the central government be wrong?The following naturally must be absolutely obeyed.

The No. [-] chief expressed his satisfaction with Mu Guoxing's work at the Standing Committee meeting, and especially highly appreciated his performance in diplomatic work these few times, and once again said his familiar words: Mu Guoxing He is a person who has all the skills in politics and economy.Chief No. [-] rarely praised a member of the Politburo at the Standing Committee. This was also a precedent for him. Apart from his special appreciation for Mu Guoxing, is there any other factor? The Standing Committee members are not fools. I also understand the meaning of the sentence No. [-].

"In two months, the National Party Congress will be held. During this period of time, the situation in all aspects is good. The domestic political situation is stable, and the world situation is also very favorable to our country. During this period of time, we What the leadership of the generation has to do is to ensure that the proposed candidates are successfully elected at the party congress. Achieving a smooth transition between the old and the new leadership is the top priority of all work and must not be taken lightly.”

Gao Xuzheng said: "I agree with No. [-]'s opinion. Ensuring the smooth convening and complete success of the party congress is the top priority at the moment. In addition, I have another suggestion for the Standing Committee members to consider."

Number One looked at Gao Xuzheng: "Comrade Xuzheng has any good suggestions, let's study them together."

Gao Xuzheng smiled and said: "Through this period of observation, I think that Comrade Mu Guoxing has made outstanding achievements in his work and is a rare talent. The Control Committee resolutely implemented the spirit of the central government's instructions, and in accordance with the unified deployment of the central government, the real estate The rectification of the market has achieved great success. According to the relevant statistical data, the national housing prices have dropped by [-]% compared with the same period last year, but the sales revenue and the start-up projects have not decreased, which shows that the central government's decision is correct. Yes, the work of the Control Committee is also fruitful."

No. [-] said: "Comrade Xu Zheng is right. The Regulatory Commission has indeed done a good job in rectifying the real estate market. It has neither caused any major turbulence nor affected the economic development. This shows that Comrade Mu Guoxing grasps the real estate market. This degree is very good, and it can also look at the problem from a macro perspective."

Gao Xuzheng added: "For a while now, the central government has also intentionally put more burdens on Comrade Mu Guoxing. Facts have proved that Comrade Guoxing is a good cadre who can stick to principles and is very capable of working. I also said it on the [-]st just now. "Comrade Guoxing has all the skills in politics and economy. For such a comrade, we must use him boldly and give full play to his ingenuity. My opinion is, let Comrade Mu Guoxing be in place in one step, and I will be his." First let me declare that I am not avoiding work, but mainly for the interests of the country and the people, I hope the Standing Committee will give it serious consideration.”

After Gao Xuzheng finished speaking, the members of the Standing Committee fell silent.Everyone knows that the selection of candidates for the new leadership team is a collective decision made by the current central leadership group after extensively listening to the opinions of both inside and outside the party and politicians of the older generation, balancing all aspects of the relationship.Who will be responsible for which job and what position in the new leadership group has already been determined. Now that Gao Xuzheng suddenly raised this question again, it is indeed a little difficult to express his position.

On the [-]st, [-]rd and [-]th, the original idea was to allow Mu Guoxing to be in place in one step and serve as the new prime minister. However, some old comrades put forward different opinions at this time. They mainly thought that Mu Guoxing was now He is still too young, and the heavy burden on his shoulders will overwhelm him, and it will not be conducive to Mu Guoxing's growth. The main point of departure is to consider the problem from the perspective of protecting cadres.

Although Gao Xuzheng's suggestion is completely from the perspective of work, if it is changed, it will take a lot of work. No one is sure whether some old comrades will agree with his opinion. "Comrade Xuzheng's suggestion is indeed to consider the issue from the interests of the country and the people. Comrade Mu Guoxing is a talent, but we can't find a talent and put him on the burden. This will affect the long-term development of our country. It is also very unfavorable. Comrade Guoxing is still very young and has worked for the country and the people for a long time. My opinion is that Comrade Xu Zheng’s suggestion should not be considered.”

The Standing Committee members all understood the meaning of No. 40's words, and not only secretly admired No. 30's great talent and long-term vision.Mu Guoxing is only in his early [-]s. According to the relevant regulations, he can still work for another [-] years. If he is allowed to become the prime minister in one step now, what will be the next step?

According to the Constitution and relevant regulations, a leading cadre cannot serve two consecutive terms in a position.If Mu Guoxing is allowed to be the prime minister now, and if he becomes the top ten years later, he will only be in his early 60s after his term of office expires, which is the time when he is in the prime of life.It would be a pity if he just retreated like this, but if he is not allowed to retreat, the country will definitely not be able to amend the constitution for him alone.Once there is a leader in a matter, it will be difficult to stop, and there is absolutely no way to turn back.

Not allowing Mu Guoxing to be in place in one step now is actually prolonging his political life and increasing the time he spends working for the country and the people.It can be seen that the older generation of politicians still have a long-term view in this regard, and this is the main reason why they do not agree to let Mu Guoxing be in place in one step.You know, there are too few talents like Mu Guoxing.

Although Gao Xuzheng's suggestion was not passed by the Standing Committee this time, Gao Xuzheng was still very happy in his heart. He secretly thought that even if Mu Guoxing became his assistant in the future, he would still use Mu Guoxing in his work. As long as he can give full play to his work ability, why should he stick to that false name?

While this important meeting was being held at the highest level of the central government, a guest also came to Mu Guoxing's office in the small courtyard of Yiletang. This person was Wu Yipei, Mu Guoxing's old subordinate and secretary of the Anjiang Municipal Party Committee.

Wu Yipei came here to report to Mu Guoxing this time. The content of the report was that Mu Guoxing instructed them last time to summarize Anjiang's experience in real estate development.For such a very important job, of course Wu Yipei had to listen to Mu Guoxing's instructions first.Wu Yipei knew that once this experience was brought out, Anjiang would definitely be taken as a model by Yangshu, and Yang would also formulate the next step of the real estate rectification guidelines and policies based on Anjiang's experience.It can also be said that Anjiang's experience is not only Anjiang's own business, but also related to the direction of the country's future policies for this work.

"You reported it very well, so I will leave the document with me for the time being, and I will take a closer look and check it out for you."

Wu Yipei was happy. An Jiang's experience was not only appreciated by Mu Guoxing, but he also personally checked their experience.After Mu Guoxing's checks on An Jiang's experience, it will definitely be more perfect and more operable. In this way, it will be difficult for An Jiang not to be famous.Having achieved such a great political achievement, Wu Yipei believes that he will be more confident in being elected as the new Governor of Shunhai Province at the National People's Congress next year.

Chapter 440 and Eight of VIP

Wu Yipei also knew that this was Mu Guoxing creating conditions for him.The progress of a senior leading cadre depends not only on the nomination of someone at the Politburo meeting, but also on the person's performance at work. The two are indispensable, and the chances of being approved by the nomination will be greater .Otherwise, Mu Guoxing, as a member of the Politburo with a lot of work, would not personally check the report of a vice-ministerial city.

"The change of office this time went very smoothly. Comrade Jiazhong served as the new Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. Before coming to Beijing, the two of us talked together. He may come to Beijing in a few days to report to you. "

Mu Guoxing said slowly: "You tell Comrade Jiazhong that everything must follow the procedures. It is not convenient for me to listen to his work report now." Note that now he is only a member of the Politburo, and he is only responsible for the work of the Control Committee, and has nothing to do with party affairs. At this time, it is obviously inappropriate to listen to the work report of a provincial party secretary. It's not so good to use it as a chapter.

That’s the truth. If you’re not in your position, don’t plan for your own affairs. If you’re not in that position, don’t care about those things. If you manage too much, it will arouse the resentment of others. This is a discipline. The higher you go, the more you must pay attention of.

"I will talk to Comrade Jiazhong about this matter."

Mu Guoxing nodded and motioned for Wu Yunpei to drink tea together. After a while, Wu Yunpei said: "Master, Zhu Mingxian also came to Beijing with me this time. I would like to ask you to give him a chance to report on his work. He wants to thank you personally."

"This matter is unnecessary. Please go back and tell Mr. Zhu that as long as they can abide by the law and operate in accordance with the central government's guidelines and policies, we still have to vigorously support private enterprises like them. The handling of Zhu Weiqiang is concerned. The department also strictly complies with the relevant laws and regulations, and there is nothing worthy of gratitude to me."
