Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

“Currency swap?”

"what does this mean?"

Zhao Dingcheng looked at Zhang Renkang with some doubt. He was not familiar with finance-related matters, but his keen awareness from years of high-ranking positions allowed him to quickly grasp the key points.

"You mean we can exchange currency with other countries?"

“I’m afraid this is difficult to negotiate?”

“The anchor alone is the key point that makes it difficult for both parties to reach a consensus”

Zhang Renkang nodded and explained with a smile:

"Secretary Zhao, you must have noticed in the past six months that whether it's the transactions between Xinhua Automobile Group and various domestic production factories, or the individual small-scale transactions organized by Hong Kong Island, or even our several collaborations with the Euros..."

“Everyone’s transactions are anchored in Hong Kong dollars, and most of the cooperation is in the form of barter.”

"Have you ever considered that the machine tools we import have specific value?"

"If the Euro's production machine tool is sold locally for 100 Hong Kong dollars, but he uses the machine tool to exchange for our resources, it is indeed a transaction of 500 Hong Kong dollars."

“We paid five times the price for the same thing.”

"It's okay if the shortage is small, but what if it's a long-term deal?"

"We are losing national wealth on a large scale"

"The West is exploiting our resources and wealth in a different way. So how easy is it for us to develop ourselves?"

Zhao Dingcheng was a little confused. They were still happy about obtaining some advanced machine tools and mechanical equipment from the West. However, no one in China paid attention to this issue.

In other words, those who have this vision are either unsuccessful or working on a farm.

At present, these people, except for a few leaders, are only suitable for or good at the battlefield. Governing is not something that can be solved by battlefield tactics and strategies.

Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish

难啊

"I have to report the situation you mentioned to my superiors. We have never considered this situation."

"It's just a matter of exchanging currencies. Will they be willing to do this?"

Zhao Dingcheng still knows that his own RMB is not recognized by all countries at present. In addition to Hong Kong Island, it can still be used on a small scale. After all, Hong Kong Island also relies on the agricultural and animal husbandry resources and water and electricity support of the mainland. In fact, since last year, Hong Kong Island has imported more and more daily necessities from the mainland. It can be said that Hong Kong Island has now been increasingly bound to the mainland in some way.

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

“This matter is not something we should consider.”

"Secretary Zhao, after all, our Ministry of Industry has limited knowledge of finance and other aspects."

"I just considered this situation and gave feedback to the organization. How to improve it specifically still needs to be considered by the superiors and professional experts in the financial field."

"However, currency swaps are not unprofitable for the euro. If we want to fully tap the potential of the several economic cooperation zones we have established, further expanding investment to attract external funds is an inevitable choice."

“They also have a demand for RMB.”

“It’s just that what the two sides use as an anchor is the biggest dispute.”

Zhao Dingcheng nodded and said with a smile

"it is good"

"I will submit your report to the National Council for consideration by the higher authorities."

"The National Council and the Ministry have also been organizing meetings these days. We have an idea and would like to seek your opinion."

"The country plans to build five bases in Northeast China, Tianjin, Shanghai, Yangcheng, and Seoul in accordance with the automobile industry base construction proposal you submitted, and to build second-tier bases in Chang'an, Shunei, and Seoul."

"The Ministry of Automobile Industry was separated from the Ministry of Industry, and a second-level department under the National Council was established, the Ministry of Automobile"

"Make every effort to build China's automobile industry and establish a complete automobile industrial chain"

"The head of the National Council wants you to coordinate."

Zhang Renkang was a little surprised. He didn't expect the chief to attach so much importance to the report he submitted. He said

"It is a good idea to establish a separate department to coordinate the national resources to cultivate the automobile industry."

"However, my opinion is that it is not recommended to separate from the Ministry of Industry at the moment. Instead, the Ministry of Industry should be the leader to establish an automobile industry coordination committee to comprehensively integrate and lead the development of the domestic automobile industry."

"First, at present, each automobile manufacturer, whether it is FAW, Dongfeng, Shouqi, Xinhua, etc., is fighting independently, and resources are seriously wasted. Moreover, the development of my country's automobile industry cannot rely on only one unit or individual units. The enthusiasm of existing automobile manufacturers should be mobilized."

"The responsibility of the Coordinating Committee is to amplify the advantages of each manufacturer and prevent some units from wasting their energy on useless things. For example, Shouqi and Dongfeng have advantages in heavy trucks and transport vehicles, so they should continue to strengthen them instead of diverting too much to the research and development of small civilian vehicles for household transportation."

"Secondly, it would be better if the Ministry of Industry took unified leadership. After all, we are not just an automobile manufacturer, but also a coordinating organization of various supporting machinery factories, tire manufacturing, electronics manufacturing and other factories, integrating resources to form a large-scale industrial base."

"For example, in Tianjin, we can completely integrate automobile manufacturing, rubber chemicals, electronic components, bearing processing and other factories into a large-scale industrial zone, which will reduce transportation costs and also help foreign exports."

"It is impossible for the Ministry of Automobile or any other department to coordinate so many units."

"Not to mention, we also have to consider the relocation of some units, land allocation, etc."

“Only the Ministry of Industry and the National Academy can complete such a grand project.”

"In the short term, I only plan to plan the automobile industrial bases in Tianjin and Yangcheng. We don't have that much money and national strength to spend on this project."

The most important reason is that Zhang Renkang did not say

Even if it is separated out, his qualifications and connections cannot support the framework of a separate department. If too many forces from other factions are introduced, it will inevitably be caught up in various internal struggles, and a lot of energy will be consumed in internal struggles.

It would be better to plan it in the Ministry of Industry. In any case, the various factions in the current Ministry of Industry have reached a delicate balance. Although an automobile coordination committee has brought a lot of new positions and development space,

But if a faction wants to make trouble or take advantage of the situation, or create some conflicts, it will happen under everyone's eyes. No one is brave enough to undermine the interests of the Ministry of Industry to fight internally.

It can only be said that the talent training and reserve talents of Zhang Yuhua's department are thin and withered, and the demonstration of their abilities is too monotonous. They are all crowded in the army. As for politics, they are almost completely ignorant.

This also shows the great mind of that person. No matter what faction you belong to, all heroes in the world are within my grasp.

Whoever dares to cause trouble will be punished
