"It is right to learn advanced management concepts from the West, but we must not copy them all. We must discard the dross and extract the essence. Why is the U.S. economy doing so badly? It started with the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. A financial turmoil swept the world, and the bankruptcy of Lehman was precisely because the US government gave up financial supervision. Those greedy speculators made enough money, and then dumped the burden on the government, and In order to stabilize the overall economy and not collapse, the U.S. government had no choice but to rescue them, which put a heavy burden on them. Later, the worsening economic situation snowballed and eventually dragged down the entire U.S. The country's economy, we should see the lessons in this regard."

Pausing for a while, and giving Chen Yifan a chance to think, Mu Guoxing continued: "The national conditions of China and the United States are different. Compared with the United States, our experience in financial management still has a certain gap. Once there is a problem, our No one can afford that responsibility."

Chen Yifan nodded involuntarily when he heard this, and Mu Guoxing said again: "I said at the last Standing Committee meeting that the establishment of the World Trade Center has both political and economic purposes. It is to break the unipolar situation where the United States dominates and create a favorable external environment for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."

Getting a little thirsty, Mu Guoxing took a sip from his teacup and continued, "From an economic point of view, we want to break the dollar's monopoly and let all countries in the world have a correct choice. This is very important for the health of the world economy. The development of the world is very beneficial. Of course, we can also use the platform of the financial center to further develop and expand our economy, and the benefits brought to us are also obvious. Therefore, the establishment of the world financial center is not only related to the future of the Chinese nation , It is also our contribution to the world economy as a responsible big country. We must have our position on such a major issue, and we must not let the remarks of some experts mislead us."

Chen Yifan didn't make a statement, but he just wanted to talk, so what reason could he make?Since you can't say it, it's better not to say it, so as not to make Mu Guoxing laugh at you.

"Comrade Guoxing, I have been engaged in political work, and I am not very proficient in economics. Regarding the operation of the world financial center and whether to adopt expert opinions, it seems that only the facts will prove it."

At this time, Mu Guoxing realized that Chen Yifan's thinking still hadn't changed, and he still mistrusted those so-called experts.Mu Guoxing is also very clear that there is still a not-too-small group of people in the central government who have muddled thoughts like Chen Yifan.Since the thinking of these people cannot be changed immediately, we can only maintain the status quo, do not let these people meddle in economic work, try to strive for a relaxed governance environment for themselves, and leave the rest to the facts to prove.

"Comrade Yifan, I will bring up important issues at the Standing Committee for discussion. However, I must be responsible for the economic work I am in charge of. This is my responsibility."

Chen Yifan nodded. He knew that Mu Guoxing was making a clear statement that he would not be disturbed in terms of economy, and he would absolutely not allow anyone to interfere.At this time, Mu Guoxing's strength was once again revealed. You must know that in Mu Guoxing's dictionary, there is no such thing as "harmony".

The two of them toasted and drank tea together, which meant that this topic ended here. After a while, Chen Yifan said again: "Comrade Guoxing, I have seen the instructions you made in the report of the reform committee. I have also criticized Comrade Liu Guanglei, as a state-owned enterprise, how can it only consider the interests of its own department and disregard the overall situation? This is obviously very wrong."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Now some leaders of state-owned enterprises do have some confused ideas. They think more about the interests of the departments, but they don't take the interests of the whole into consideration. In order to complete the targets issued by the central government, to be precise, to To keep their official hats, they are not trying to improve the management level of the enterprise, but only want to ask the central government for policies, and if they can't get them, they will take some very abnormal methods to blackmail the central government. This is very wrong. It is also absolutely intolerable."

Now that Chen Yifan brought up this issue on his own initiative, Mu Guoxing decided to go deeper: "Comrade Yifan, this report by the reform committee has also gone through a lot of investigation and research. The facts presented are credible and the theoretical basis It is also sufficient. We can analyze the operation of the oil group from a macro perspective. Without the policy support of the central government, the oil group will not only lose a penny of profit, but will suffer huge losses. If this is the case in some Western countries, Such corporate leaders have been fired long ago."

Chen Yifan smiled: "Comrade Guoxing, no matter what, the oil group still has more than 3000 billion profits every year, and it has also made a huge contribution to the country's economic development."

Mu Guoxing shook his head: "Comrade Yifan, I can't agree with your opinion, and now I'll do the math for you: We exchange loans for oil every year, and the price difference of this part is about 5000 billion. Compared with the international oil price, the cost of oil extraction is [-] billion. The annual fuel oil revenue of the oil group has a price difference of at least [-] billion with foreign countries. In this way, the oil group only completes [-] billion in profits every year. This means that they actually have to lose at least [-] billion yuan. The central government invests more than [-] billion yuan in subsidies for agriculture, rural areas and farmers every year, and more than half of that is offset by fuel price increases. Woolen cloth."

Seeing that Chen Yifan had no intention of speaking, Mu Guoxing said again: "Of course, the oil group has not achieved nothing at all. At least they have done some work in terms of national energy security. However, just doing this is It is not enough. If we can relax the further reform of state-owned enterprises because of these achievements, then what is the point of us retaining state-owned enterprises? We can completely adopt the method of planned economy and exert the dominant position of the government in this regard, while It will not cause the current serious oil shortage and the continuous rise of oil prices."

"Comrade Guoxing, you are worthy of being an economic expert. You can come up with data in this area as soon as you open your mouth. But when we consider economic benefits, we must also consider political factors."

"Comrade Yifan, as I said just now, politics and economy are inseparable. Is it possible to ignore economic benefits when talking about politics? Politics without economic support is water without source and tree without roots. If China wants to develop , it is necessary to talk about both politics and economics. Since some people cannot do this, then we ask him to move his position and replace someone who can do it. However, we must not let these people Occupy the position, and blatantly confront the central government."

VIP 730 [-] Chapter [-] Ghostbusters

Speaking of this, Chen Yifan knew that Mu Guoxing was going to take the oil group into action.Chen Yifan is also very clear that Mu Guoxing's prestige in the central government is now very high. As long as it is a suggestion he puts forward at the Standing Committee, so far, it has not been rejected once.

These things done by the oil group are really outrageous. Now that the report of the reform committee has been submitted to the central government, the facts and evidence listed in it have been approved by Mu Guoxing. If Mu Guoxing is really in the Standing Committee Needless to say, it is clear what the outcome of the suggestion to rectify the leadership of the oil group was put forward at the meeting.

"Comrade Guoxing, there are indeed many problems in the oil group. They cannot earnestly implement the policies of the central government, and their nature is very serious. I agree in principle to take organizational measures against the leadership of the oil group. If you follow the oil group and don’t take the instructions of the central government seriously, the consequences will be very serious.”

Chen Yifan smiled, and said again: "However, considering that we just adjusted the leadership team of the oil group last year, is it appropriate to perform a major operation on them this time?"

It is undeniable that Chen Yifan is still very good at speaking. If he directly disagrees with the adjustment of the leadership team of the oil group, Mu Guoxing will definitely not accept his way, and it may be faster to win Liu Guanglei.But now that Chen Yifan first agreed with Mu Guoxing's point of view, and then tactfully expressed his concerns, Mu Guoxing had to seriously consider Chen Yifan's opinion. From a work point of view.

In fact, Mu Guoxing did not want to adjust the leadership team of the Petroleum Group right away. His instructions in the report of the reform committee were also very clear: If the Petroleum Group cannot lower the price of fuel to ensure supply within half a month, then Mu Guoxing will be The leadership team of the Petroleum Group must be adjusted. Even if Chen Yifan was offended for this, Mu Guoxing would definitely not care.

If Liu Guanglei can take the initiative to correct his mistakes within this deadline, for the sake of the influence of the central government and the stability of the political arena, so that the heads of other state-owned enterprises will not be disturbed and affect their normal work, Mu Guoxing can also not be held accountable. But in this way, Mu Guoxing's impression of Liu Guanglei was very bad.

This is also one of the working methods of a leading cadre. Liu Guanglei is not a fool, and he can fully predict this. In the future work, he will not need to be urged by others, and he will act honestly in accordance with the policies of the central government.As long as he can do a good job, Mu Guoxing won't care who promoted him.

There is another problem here. If Mu Guoxing does not consider Chen Yifan's feelings and insists on taking Liu Guanglei down, then there will be a rift between him and Chen Yifan, although Mu Guoxing is very correct in this matter. , However, it is also very detrimental to the unity among the Standing Committee members.Especially in the current stable political situation, it is better to try not to cause any further disturbances.

Thinking of this, Mu Guoxing smiled: "Comrade Yifan, people make mistakes sometimes. It's not terrible to make mistakes. The key is to correct them in time. I gave the oil group half a month's deadline. Now the initiative It’s in their hands, and I’m just watching it now.”

Mu Guoxing's words are clearly telling Chen Yifan that if Liu Guanglei can solve all these problems within half a month, he can let Liu Guanglei go. If he ignores it, then he can't blame Mu Guoxing You are welcome.

"I believe that Liu Guanglei's investment still has this kind of political sensitivity. The oil group is also a collective leader. I am afraid that such a major business decision cannot be made by Liu Guanglei alone. It may exist, give him a chance, let's wait and see."

Chen Yifan is worthy of being a cadre with a background in political work. He has a lot of experience in intricate personnel struggles, and can often see the essence of problems through superficial phenomena.For example, what he said now is that Liu Guanglei followed other people's advice in a moment of confusion, and this matter is very accurate.

After sending Mu Guoxing away, Chen Yifan pondered for a while and called Liu Guanglei: "Guanglei, please tell me the truth, you came up with the bad idea of ​​controlling fuel sales and threatening the central government to agree to your price increase. or was it suggested to you by someone else?"

Hearing the old leader's question, Chen Yifan also realized that something was wrong. It seems that the old leader didn't do the job of being the No. [-] leader, otherwise he wouldn't say the three words "bad idea".

"Long, we didn't control the sales of fuel oil. It's because the price of crude oil in the international market is too high, and the refinery is not active in production. We want the central government to take into account the actual situation of the oil group and make unified adjustments. The sales price of fuel oil will help us to successfully complete the profit plan assigned by the central government. This is also the unanimous opinion of everyone at the party group meeting. As for this suggestion, it was put forward by Comrade Zhang Bin."

"Nonsense, you are the president of an oil group. Although you manage a state-owned enterprise, you have to be a little politically sensitive. Are you satisfied with making more than 3000 billion yuan in profits every year? I can tell you clearly, In addition to policy support, not only do you have no profit, but you also lose at least [-] billion a year. You may not be able to see these small actions, but don't forget what No. [-] is for. Can these little tricks of yours escape his eyes?"

Liu Guanglei didn't dare to say anything, and let Chen Yifan's criticism: "The central government put you in this position to let you manage this enterprise well for the state. State-owned enterprises not only have the obligation to pay taxes and profits to the state, It is also responsible for the guarantee function. Last year, you did something very wrong in dealing with the Beijiang Oil Refining Group. Although you should not bear the main responsibility, you should at least learn a little lesson from it."

Chen Yifan took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm down his tone of speech: "The [-]th gave you half a month. While ensuring the completion of the annual profit target, you must meet the society's demand for fuel, and you must also meet the demand for fuel. The price of fuel must be lowered. If you can’t do this, then collectively resign from the central government, and if you have anything to do in the future, don’t report to me.”

With a bang, Liu Guanglei heard the old leader hang up the phone, and he knew that the old leader was really angry this time.Liu Guanglei has been with Chen Yifan for so many years, and he has never heard Chen Yifan criticize someone so seriously.Liu Guanglei is also very clear that if it can't be done within half a month, the central leadership of the oil group will definitely have to adjust.

The reason for this is also very clear. The oil group has angered the No. [-] leader twice in a row, and Liu Guanglei also knows that as long as the No. [-] leader wants to take down the hats of people like them, it will definitely be a breeze.Chen Yifan has just made it very clear that if Liu Guanglei can't complete the task on time, Liu Guanglei will not be allowed to go to him if there is anything to do in the future. This means that Chen Yifan bought time for Liu Guanglei this time, and he will never again Will protect him.

Liu Guanglei was thinking nervously. He usually sat in a very comfortable chair, but now he felt so uncomfortable.After adjusting several postures in a row, Liu Guanglei finally stood up simply and walked around the office.

Liu Guanglei now realizes that the problem is serious. After listening to Zhang Bin's suggestion, he really shot himself in the foot this time. After Chen Mingchu, the former boss of the oil group, stepped down, Liu Guanglei faintly felt that there must be someone behind this. Now It seems that the culprit may be Zhang Bin who is known as Sai Zhuge.

"With such a dangerous person in the team, something big will happen sooner or later." Liu Guanglei said to himself, "Looks like we have to find a way."

VIP 730 [-] Chapter [-] Game of Thrones

After thinking about a series of questions, Liu Guanglei felt more and more scary about Zhang Bin.He first encouraged Chen Mingchu, the former boss of the Petroleum Group, to suppress the Beijiang Oil Refining Company. Then he angered the No. [-] chief and took Chen Mingchu down, which led to a major reshuffle in the leadership of the Petroleum Group.

After Liu Guanglei took charge of the work of the Petroleum Group, Zhang Bin, the third vice president at the time, was also promoted to executive vice president. Complete the profit target issued by the state, but in fact still want to provoke the central government to take down Liu Guanglei, he can replace him.

While Liu Guanglei was pondering, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in: "Mr. Liu, the General Office of the Reform Commission called. Comrade Liu Xiangdong, the first deputy director, is interviewing the main person in charge of the oil group at three o'clock this afternoon. The main content is to reduce fuel prices. , to ensure supply."

The previous two phone calls from the Reform Committee were to interview Liu Guanglei by name, but this time they used a different term: to interview the main person in charge.Don't look at this small gap, but the meaning is extraordinary.You, Liu Guanglei, don’t have time to go, other leaders must have time to go, if Liu Guanglei doesn’t go anymore, don’t blame me for going over you to find someone else to talk to.

The Reform Committee also intended to tell Liu Guanglei that the Petroleum Group is a state-owned enterprise, not owned by Liu Guanglei's own family. Without you, Liu Guanglei, the Petroleum Group can still implement the central government's policies.

"Please reply to the Office of the Reform Commission. I will arrive at the Reform Commission on time at three o'clock in the afternoon."

The National Reform Commission is known as the No. [-] Yamen in China. Its power and influence are unimaginable to ordinary people. Its main duties are to formulate and organize the implementation of national economic and social development strategies and development plans; to study and analyze domestic and foreign economic situations and development situations , carry out macroeconomic forecasts and early warnings; summarize and analyze financial and financial situations, participate in the formulation of fiscal and monetary policies, formulate and organize the implementation of industrial policies and price policies; study major issues of economic system reform and opening up, organize Formulate comprehensive economic system reform plans, etc., whose functions cover fixed asset investment, industrial structure, regional economic development, domestic and foreign market conditions, coordinate economic and social development, promote sustainable development strategies, promote employment, adjust income distribution, formulate corresponding administrative regulations and rules, etc.

Because of this, there is an endless stream of senior government officials from various provinces and cities who come here to run projects. If you see a young man in his thirties, surrounded by a few old men in their 60s and [-]s, walking in front , you must not be surprised, because this young man may be the director of a department of the Reform Commission, or the director of the department, and the old men behind him are officials from other places who have come to ask him to do something.

In the officialdom, there are strict levels, and the gap in levels will be vividly reflected in any place, but it is different in the reform committee.No matter how big the officials from the lower provinces and cities come here, they must lower their stance. Sometimes, if a deputy provincial official wants to meet a director of the reform committee, he has to find a way to find a way, and even wait for several days. .

But it is such a big yamen that everyone is afraid of, but his authority has been seriously challenged recently. Severe oil shortage, but the trend of oil shortage has a tendency to continue to spread.

Because of this, a very influential foreign media said: The authority of the Huaxia Reform Commission has no effect at all in front of the state-owned enterprises with a deep background. The power in the hands of the oil group has even surpassed the State Reform Commission.

The article also wrote: According to China’s unique political system, the heads of their state-owned enterprises also have administrative levels. The president of the oil group and the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor are at the same level. In fact, it was restructured from the Ministry of Petroleum at that time.

Another example is in some oil-producing cities, the boss of the oil company is the local party secretary or mayor, who is mixed with the administrative power of the government.As a company, although oil giants do not have pricing power, they do have quantitative power. If the reform committee issues administrative orders to lower prices, they will passively resist and use limited strategies to fight.All of this stems from Huaxia's oligopoly policy on the oil industry and the power system that does not separate government from enterprises.

As to whether this comment by the foreign media is correct, it is not yet possible to comment rashly, but one thing everyone can understand is that the Petroleum Group does not buy the account of the Reform Commission at all, and the Reform Commission has no regard for the Petroleum Group. There is no way.

Is this really the case?How can these Western media and ordinary Chinese people know the power game behind this, as they will never understand the mysteries of politics.

As the president of the Petroleum Group, it is common for Liu Guanglei to go to the reform committee. Here he does not have to wait in line to see a department director like other provincial and ministerial officials. He just meets some deputy directors. Even the director is a common thing.Sometimes it is not easy for the leaders of the reform committee to meet Liu Guanglei. Didn't Liu Xiangdong just get rejected by Liu Guanglei once?
