life in the sky

Shen Yuqing understood that what Yu Zedong said about carrying out the instructions of the central government was probably the execution of Mu Guoxing's instructions.Mu Guoxing dared to do this three months ago, which shows that he has also been authorized by the central government. It seems that this time the central government's regulation of prices is going to be serious.

Chu Xiding asked: "At what price is Comrade Yu Zedong going to put this batch of vegetable oil on the market?"

"According to the central government's instructions, in order to further curb prices, we decided to supply to the masses at a price 15.00% lower than the current market price. According to our calculations, the grain and oil import and export company will lose about [-] yuan in this business. [-] million."

Chu Xiding shook his head: "Comrade Zedong, you are really generous enough. You lost three billion in one business. Who will pay for this money? You won't need state financial subsidies again, right?"

Others would not speak like this at this kind of meeting, but Chu Xiding dared to do so. There are two reasons for this. First, Chu Xiding is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. Another reason is that the Reform Commission is also in charge of price regulation. The work of export companies is also subject to their supervision in some aspects. It is these two reasons that prompted Chu Xiding to ask so many questions regardless.

Yu Zedong couldn't answer this question, so he looked at Mu Guoxing as if asking for help, and before Mu Guoxing could speak, Chu Xiding said again: "Although our country is rich now, there are still many places to spend money. You can’t spend money so lavishly on 1un, what should be saved is to save a little, it’s good to eat with oil, why do you need to divide it into leaching and pressing?”

Mu Guoxing watched Chu Xiding coldly. It turned out that he was pretty good looking at this person. Why did he suddenly become like this?When Mu Guoxing thinks about it carefully, he understands the reason. In this general election, Chu Xiding also wanted to fight for the position of vice premier of the State Council, but in the end he failed to achieve his goal.Although Chu Xiding is also a member of the Deputy Politburo at the national level, he is only the director of the Reform Commission administratively. You must know that a director of the Reform Commission at the level of a member of the Politburo still has a power gap with the vice premier who is also a member of the Politburo. gap.

On the surface, Chu Xiding's speech today was because he disagreed with the actions of the Grain and Oil Import and Export Company, but in fact, he also meant to show Mu Guoxing a little color.We must know that the Reform Commission is in charge of price control, and has more power to supervise the work of grain and oil import and export companies. If Mu Guoxing is doing this now, Chu Xiding of course dare not say anything, but three months ago Mu Guoxing was a The director of the Control and Control Committee didn't even say hello to Chu Xiding. Isn't that just because he didn't take him seriously?

Mu Guoxing coughed lightly. He did not use power to suppress others, but started from another aspect of the problem: "Comrade Xi Ding, what is the purpose of the country's development? I think everyone here is clear. We have More than 3 trillion foreign exchange reserves are lent to Western countries, so that their people enjoy high welfare, while our people suffer from high prices, do you think this phenomenon is normal?"

Mu Guoxing paused and said: "American companies adopt double standards, which is clearly discrimination against us. Why should our people insist on eating vegetable oils that contain harmful substances. Food safety is becoming more and more important now, and we Shouldn’t we do something for our people? This work was a decision made by the previous central leadership, and I am responsible for implementing it. Do you think there is any problem here?”

Seeing Mu Guoxing's serious face, Chu Xiding was also taken aback. Mu Guoxing was no longer the original director of the Control Committee, but the well-known No. [-] head of the Central Committee, and the first deputy prime minister directly in charge of the Reform Committee. Well, if she had a falling out with him at this time, it would definitely not be as good as Chu Xi's decision.

VIP Chapter 480 This is a brilliant move

"Long, I think you may have misunderstood me, I..."

Mu Guoxing waved his hand: "Comrade Xi Ding, caring about people's livelihood is the established policy of the central government. We can't just talk about it, but also implement it in action. Regarding this issue, I hope everyone here will When you go back, you have to seriously reflect on it and see if there are still things that are not in place. I have already explained the reasons for the import of this batch of cooking oil very clearly, and I will not discuss it in today's meeting. Next, I invite Comrade Zhu Ruixuan Let’s talk about how the General Administration of Customs cooperates with the import of vegetable oil.”

Seeing that Chu Xiding had hit a snag in front of Mu Guoxing just now, if Zhu Ruixuan raised a different opinion, it would be just asking for bad luck. Mu Guoxing is so rude to a member of the Politburo, so don't mention him as Xixi ministerial cadres.

"Since receiving the instructions from the chief, the party group of the General Administration of Customs has held a meeting to specifically implement how to cooperate with the grain and oil import and export company's vegetable oil import work. In order to earnestly implement the central government's instructions on further stabilizing domestic prices, the General Administration of Customs It is decided to exempt the grain and oil import and export company from importing this batch of vegetable oil tariffs, and to fully cooperate in other aspects."

Mu Guoxing nodded to Zhu Ruixuan with a smile, and then said to Jin Zhipeng, director of the State Administration of Taxation: "Do you have any comments from the State Administration of Taxation?"

This time Jin Zhipeng finally became the head of the State Administration of Taxation. Now that his position has not been secured, he naturally dare not touch Mu Guoxing's bad luck. As soon as Mu Guoxing finished speaking, he immediately said: "Tax The General Administration will also follow the instructions of the minister to exempt all taxes on the domestic sales of this batch of edible oil."

Mu Guoxing looked at Shen Qiang, director of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. Before Mu Guoxing could ask, Shen Qiang hurriedly said: "We have communicated with the Grain and Oil Import and Export Company a few days ago, and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce will fully cooperate. The sale of edible oil this time will ensure that this batch of oil products will be sold to the masses of the people quickly and quickly, and will severely crack down on illegal activities in this sale."

Fang Junning, director of the General Administration of Quality Supervision and Inspection, went on to say: "For the quality and repackaging of this batch of edible oil, our quality inspection department will follow up to ensure the quality of each checkpoint, so as to ensure that the people can eat safe oil."

Minister of Agriculture Shen Yuqing said: "The Ministry of Agriculture has also issued instructions to various edible oil processing companies, requiring them to fully cooperate with this action, and no company is allowed to drive up prices. In the future, in the processing and sales of edible oil, strictly Comply with the price standards set by the state."

Chu Xiding is saying nothing now, just now he hit a big snag in front of Mu Guoxing, if he dares to speak again, Mu Guoxing will never be polite to him again.It was only at this time that he realized that Mu Guoxing's strength in his work was indeed well-deserved.

In the end, Mu Guoxing concluded: "Just now everyone's opinions are very good, and they have put forward good suggestions on the supply and sales of vegetable oil from the perspective of their respective tasks. I hope that after the meeting, several of your ministries and commissions will jointly issue a document. Ensure that this batch of vegetable oil can be sold to the general public at a reasonable price. If there is a problem in any link, the main leader of that unit will be responsible. While selling this batch of oil, we must not forget the migrant workers and the garrison in the city As well as colleges and universities. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce must severely crack down on illegal behavior in the sale of vegetable oil. If anyone dares to steal oil from the mouths of ordinary people, he will be severely punished by party discipline and state laws!"

Mu Guoxing picked up another document: "This is a summary of the establishment of agricultural companies in Shun Hai Province and An Giang City. I hope that the Ministry of Agriculture and the Food Bureau will send a working group to take a look at it and further summarize the advanced development of Shun Hai Province. Experience, implement it as a programmatic document in future work, and formulate effective administrative regulations based on their experience to ensure the food and oil safety of our country."

Seeing this document, Shen Yuqing and Ma Guohao understood at the same time that Mu Guoxing asked them to participate in today's meeting not to discuss the supply of grain and oil, but for another purpose.According to the reports from Shun Hai Province and An Giang City, Mu Guoxing wanted the Grain Bureau to seize the grain and oil crops, but in this way, the interests of all aspects were really too great.

Mu Guoxing looked at Chu Xiding and said: "The work in charge of the Reform Commission is also very important, and there should be a set of effective methods for the development of the national economy. In this respect, I hope that the Reform Commission will use their brains more. I have only one standard, which is to see whether the various principles and policies we implement are in line with the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. As long as you can do this, even if there are some problems in your work, I should take the responsibility. "

This meeting ended in less than an hour. From this point, it can be proved that Mu Guoxing's work style is vigorous and vigorous, and he is not procrastinating.As long as he is thinking about something well, no one will object to it, and he will never allow some cadres to prosecute and violate it, which can be heard from what he said just now.If there is a problem in any link, the main leader of that unit will be responsible.The meaning is to let these people understand that if they want to be disobedient, they will throw out their official hats. In this regard, there is no sympathy to speak of.

Ma Guohao, director of the Food Bureau, took a few steps to catch up with Shen Yuqing: "Minister Shen, if it's convenient, can I go to your place to report on the work alone?"

The reason why Ma Guohao was so polite was not only because the Grain Bureau was only a sub-ministerial unit, but also because they were also under the leadership of the Ministry of Agriculture. As a subordinate, of course, he had to be more polite to his superiors.

Ma Guohao is also Shen Yuqing's old subordinate, so there is no need to go around when talking between the two of them. As soon as he sat down in Shen Yuqing's office, Ma Guohao said: "Minister, the Shunhai province given to us by Vice Premier Mu today The report of Heanjiang City is very meaningful, and I am still not sure about some issues, what do you think we should do?"

Shen Yuqing thought for a while and said: "When I saw this report the day before yesterday, I didn't understand it, but today I saw Vice Premier Mu's attitude. Do Hai Province and Anjiang City dare to do this?"

Shen Yuqing looked at Ma Guohao, and said: "The core of the new leadership really puts the issue of people's livelihood first. Otherwise, Vice Premier Mu would not personally preside over today's meeting. He is using this meeting to send a message to everyone. The cadres sent a message that the central government has attached great importance to the issue of grain and oil safety, and in this situation, of course we must follow the pace of the central government."

Ma Guohao said: "Minister, we have been supporting the production of genetically modified crops for the past few years. If we follow the model of Shun Hai Province and Anjiang City, the resistance here is not ordinary Xi, and it may cause another crisis. Moving dng, even international disputes. For us, this is something we can't handle anyway."

Shen Yuqing smiled: "Since you have seen this problem, it shows that you have really put a little effort into this report of Shun Hai Province. The central government did not have a clear policy on the planting of genetically modified crops before. The attitude is only supported by individual leaders. Now that the new leadership core has been established, of course we have to act according to the instructions of the new team. As for the issue of whether we can bear it or not, haven’t you heard what Vice Premier Mu said today? ?As long as the interests of the people are put first at work, he will be responsible even if there are problems. We are just industry executives, and we are implementing the instructions of the central government. We don’t have to think so much about other issues.”

Without waiting for Ma Guohao to speak, Shen Yuqing said as if talking to himself: "Vice Premier Mu is brilliant, it seems that the big American companies that have been fighting against us will have a hard time in the future. The meaning of Vice Premier Mu is also very clear, that is, from now on, we will not hesitate to adopt huge financial subsidies, vigorously develop the country's agriculture, and gradually squeeze out foreign companies. This will grasp the foundation of stability. Taking food as the sky, this is an issue that has been attached great importance to in all dynasties.

VIP Two Thousand 480 Chapter Two Strategic Vision

According to Mu Guoxing's proposal, the Politburo Standing Committee held a special meeting to discuss the issue of emphasizing agricultural development, using all legal political and economic means, and striving to squeeze foreign-funded grain and oil companies out of China within three years. However, the country has paid for it. The cost is also very high, and more than 1000 billion in financial subsidies will be paid every year for this.

There is no way around this. According to relevant statistics, the four major American multinational grain merchants have controlled more than 75% of China's oil market raw materials and processing and edible oil supply. Among the 97 large oil companies in the country, multinational grain merchants hold shares There are 64 companies.The entry of foreign capital is obtained through covert methods such as investment and shareholding in private enterprises, thus evading the supervision of national policies.

Over the years, many state-owned grain depots have been reformed and local grain depots have been vacant. In order to make use of the idle grain depots, most of the local governments are extremely enthusiastic about foreign investment. That is to cancel the unified supervision of grain and oil production. Facts have proved that relying solely on market regulation on the supply of grain and oil is simply not feasible.Grain and oil are important strategic materials related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. The government of every country in the world attaches great importance to it. No country has ever canceled the control of grain and oil when its agricultural level is still at a relatively low stage. This is very dangerous. of.

This opinion put forward by Mu Guoxing needs to take great risks. You must know that the opening of the grain market allows foreign investment to enter, but the resolution made by the leadership of the old generation of Mu, if you want to change this policy, you will encounter resistance. It will be very big, and only Mu Guoxing dares to speak like this, and no one else has the courage to do so anyway.

"Now our country's food security has reached a very serious point. As one of the five grains, soybeans originated in China. Soybeans cultivated in various countries in the world are directly or indirectly spread from China. In the 30s, my country's soybeans The output once accounted for 91.2% of the world's total output. Now, foreign capital is frantically entering my country to get involved in the production, processing and sales of soybeans and other crops. Due to the impact of a large number of low-priced imported genetically modified soybeans, China's soybean production is facing the threat of total annihilation Crisis."

Mu Guoxing said with a sad heart: "Foreign-funded enterprises purchase domestic non-GMO soybeans at a price higher than the national protection price every year, and have basically monopolized the domestic non-GMO soybean market. What's more serious is that due to the low-key and confidentiality of foreign capital, they It is difficult to estimate the investment scale and penetration of private enterprises in my country's grain industry. It can also be said that my country's non-GMO soybean industry has been severely impacted. If there are no further measures, it may be less than ten years before my country's non-GMO soybean industry will disappear completely.”

In the end, Mu Guoxing raised his voice and said: "I'm definitely not scaremongering, but based on facts. I conclude that after foreign-funded enterprises have absolute control over my country's soybean production, they will then enter the country on which the people of our country depend for their survival. The main issue is food. If we don’t pay attention to this issue now, it will take less than 20 years. We will have to look at the faces of foreigners when it comes to food. It’s not good to be stuck by others. "

The expressions of the members of the Standing Committee changed. They did not expect that the problem would be so serious. They thought that after 40 years of rapid development in our country, the problem of food is no longer a very important thing, and it can be adjusted by the market. It can be done. After hearing Mu Guoxing's words, everyone couldn't sit still.

"Comrade Guoxing." On the 3th, Meng Xianqiang began to speak: "According to your judgment, the issue of grain and oil should indeed arouse our high attention, but it involves too much to solve this issue. Open up first. The grain and oil market is a decision made by the older generation of leaders. Is it disrespectful for us to change it easily? Secondly, when my country joined TO, it made a 1000% low tariff concession on the trade of soybeans and other agricultural products. Well, it will lead to a trade war, which will affect our country's image in the world. Also, will the annual increase of more than [-] billion in fiscal expenditures affect the normal construction and development of our country?"

Seeing that Mu Guoxing was about to speak, Meng Xianqiang hurriedly said: "I am not against your proposal, shall we wait a little longer, and when the time is right, or if we are more prepared, we will carry out this aspect of the project?" Where are you working?"

Ren Dongyi on the [-]th also followed up and said: "Comrade Guoxing's suggestion is very good, but it is a bit too hasty. Whether genetically modified foods are harmful or not, there is no clear statement in the scientific community. If we Prohibiting the production and sales of genetically modified foods now will cause an international dispute? What we need to do in this session is to continue to keep a low profile for the first five years and vigorously develop the economy, and gradually make a difference in the international arena in the next five years. In this way, is it necessary to change the development strategy we just formulated?"

No. [-] and No. [-] whispered a few words, only No. [-] smiled and said: "Just now, Comrade Xianqiang and Comrade Dongyi fully expressed their views. I summarized the main problems in the following aspects. : [-]: Opening up the grain and oil market is a resolution made by the older generation of leaders. Should we make adjustments? [-]. Will it cause a trade war and damage the image of our country? [-]. Will an increase of [-] billion in fiscal expenditures It affects the development of the country. Fourth, should we ban the sales and production of genetically modified foods. Fifth, will this interfere with the development strategy of the country.”

No. [-] paused and said: "If I remember correctly, it should be about these five issues. Next, please express your personal opinions on these five issues and take a look at Guoxing Will there be other problems in the implementation of this suggestion put forward by Comrade?"

As soon as No. [-]'s voice fell, the Standing Committee members understood that No. [-] supported Mu Guoxing's suggestion.Otherwise, he would not let everyone discuss the facts, let alone limit the problem to these five aspects.

On the [-]th, Xie Yunfei said: "As for the first question, I personally think there is nothing to worry about. The old generation of leaders was completely correct in making the opening of the grain and oil market at that specific historical period. Now the situation has changed. Our country It is also necessary for the first-term leadership team to make appropriate adjustments based on the current actual situation. This is not a question of respecting the old leaders. I believe that the old leaders have a far-sighted strategic vision, and they will definitely support us in doing so. of."

Xie Yunfei's words were very tactful and very reasonable, but there was still one thing he didn't say: the older generation of leaders who made this decision, now except for the two who can't afford to lie down, only the previous one is left. Hao and Mu Guoxing's grandfather, these two politicians of the older generation with high political wisdom, still can't see the current situation?Besides, Mu Guoxing was supported by them and the previous number one. Will they support Mu Guoxing?

To say that they will be unhappy because the current Standing Committee has changed their policies is to insult their IQs and belittle their lofty thoughts and morals in pursuit of national prosperity.

"I'm not engaged in economics, so I can't say anything about it. Next, let me talk about whether it will interfere with the national development strategy." Xie Yunfei took a sip of tea and said, "I think we have implemented Comrade Guoxing's proposal." After these series of principles and policies, not only will not interfere with our established development strategy, but will also promote the better and faster implementation of this development strategy. It can also be said that these suggestions put forward by Comrade Guoxing are very strategic. Yes, it is imperative!"! .

VIP Two Thousand 480 Chapter Three The General Trend

Xie Yunfei's speech aroused great interest among the members of the Standing Committee, and even "Meng Xianqiang" who raised objections just now had to admit that Xie Yunfei's analysis was very reasonable.

, "The development strategy we formulated for the first five years to keep a low profile and make a difference in the next five years was approved at the Politburo meeting." This cannot be changed by anyone. The problem is that our first five years of low power So, what is the basis for keeping a low profile? It is necessary to resolve the eight domestic contradictions that Comrade Mu Guoxing raised last time, and "stabilizing prices and promoting people's livelihood" is the most important point among these eight contradictions. "Xie Yunfei is worthy of being a theorist." It seems that it is very correct to let him take charge of the work of ideology." Nothing is difficult.

"What Comrade Guoxing said just now is very reasonable." Grain and oil are an important strategic material related to the national economy and people's livelihood. How can we trust foreign companies?Once there is a major natural disaster, "the U.S. government will inevitably use this problem to get stuck in our necks," which adds another means for them to sanction us.Comrade Guoxing is right, "It's not good to be choked by others. We are now taking economic measures to squeeze foreign companies out of the field of agricultural production." This has allowed us to firmly control grain and oil, an important strategic material. "As the saying goes, don't panic if you have surplus food at home."

After a short pause, Xie Yunfei continued: "The price level in our country is soaring now, and the people are complaining." However, some of our local governments are still clinging to those useless gdp. "Leave foreign capital in our agricultural production field It is they who have promoted the continuous soaring prices of daily necessities. If things go on like this, the resentment in the hearts of ordinary people will accumulate more and more. This is very detrimental to our stability of domestic order. Once something happens, The grievances of the masses will burst out." It will have very dire consequences.If the domestic order cannot be stabilized, how can we talk about keeping a low profile and develop the economy wholeheartedly?How can we talk about realizing the established development strategy?"

No. [-] laughed: "Comrade Yunfei said it very well. The economy is the foundation, and politics is the superstructure." Without a solid economic foundation, there can be no political stability." This is a very simple truth.Comrade Yunfei talked about the first and fifth issues summarized on the [-]st just now from the political level, "Should we ask Comrade Guoxing to talk about the other three economic issues? Guoxing Comrade is an economic expert in our team."
