Chapter 191 China National Economic Research Center(1/2)
After arriving at Capital International Airport on a special plane arranged by Asian Business Airlines, Yang Shaozong Fu welcomed a tsunami-like cheer as if he got off the plane. At this time, Yang Shaozong was not only the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, but also brought glory to the country, but also the endorsement of the Asian financial crisis and the protector of the Hong Kong financial war.
The entire international community and so many countries in Southeast Asia are no match for international speculators. Once Yang Shaozong takes action, he all returned in a defeat and suffered heavy losses.
He has brought glory to the country completely.
Any newspaper or webpage in China now opens in China, and it is all praises how great Yang Shaozong is, how determined, how brave and fearless, not afraid of powerful enemies, both wisdom and courage, unparalleled loyalty and righteousness, benevolence and virtue to help the world. Foreigners will praise it casually, and domestic media will quote it and continue to exaggerate it. It seems that the whole world admires Yang Shaozong's promisingness.
It's really exaggerating. CCTV specially produced a six-episode documentary about Yang Shaozong, which was broadcast during prime time. It dug out all the photos of Yang Shaozong participating in collective labor at the age of 14, and everyone dug out, and the kindergarten teachers didn't let it go, covering the sky, which has already portrayed Yang Shaozong into a great man.
In short, Yang Shaozong is so awesome. He is the most powerful economist and entrepreneur in the world. He is recognized by the world as the most powerful. He is a representative of the Chinese and an elite among the elites. Moreover, he was an orphan when he was a child. His grandfather died on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and his corpse was still in North Korea. His parents died in the construction of the Qishan Reservoir to save people.
People are so grateful. After all, they were raised by Qishan people. They built Qishan into an international art capital and a small financial city in China in one go. Under his leadership, the per capita income of Qizhou City has become the standard of South Korea, and it can be regarded as entering the level of a developed country.
When people go into business and engage in economic construction, they will become the richest man in Asia in five years. With a word, a wave of hands, a heroic decision will defeat foreign speculation.
When others make money, they donate half of their property to do charity and education, and can donate more than one billion yuan each year to the Hope Project. There is hope for Chinese education.
Even if he donates half of his property, he is still the richest man in Asia!
Too awesome.
You can't admire it.
It's too popular. This is not the realm of human beings, this is the realm of the most awesome Chinese in history!
Yang Shaozong walked out of the cabin and saw a huge welcome formation from tens of thousands of people in the capital. The colorful flowers were surging like a tide, waving.
I'm damn.
Premier Rong of the State Council personally led the team to greet him, and Vice Premier Wu and Vice Chairman were also on the list, standing in the center waiting for him to shake hands!
This lineup is basically to welcome the British Prime Minister and Queen, isn't it enough?
To be honest, Yang Shaozong felt a little soft at this moment, because he was quite guilty. He had to bite the bullet and get off the plane with Xiao Wei, Hu Zuming, Tao Dadong and others, and went forward to accept the cordial approach and welcome from the central leaders.
Premier Rong was really happy, from the bottom of his heart, because Yang Shaozong did a good thing and saved the Hong Kong-linked exchange rate, which was truly a contribution to the country.
After all, it is also an old leader. Premier Rong is very happy that Yang Shaozong can achieve such achievements.
As soon as he shook hands with Yang Shaozong, Premier Rong smiled happily: "Welcome back, this is the best, you will be tough in the future!"
He is telling the truth. Now is the most critical moment to promote the second reform of China's state-owned assets and move towards state capitalism. It is difficult to rely solely on the central government to promote it. It is necessary to have the overall support of social public opinion, and social public opinion depends on Yang Shaozong.
Yang Shaozong smiled and understood what Premier Rong meant.
The welcome situation at the Capital Airport is definitely small. Yang Shaozong didn't know at first. As soon as he left the airport, there were crowds of people outside, and there were crowds of onlookers. Even the four kings collectively went to the capital, and the taxis outside the airport were covered with people. I don't know how many people kept taking photos with cameras. The reporters really worked hard, and they followed Yang Shaozong all the way, without even the chance to ask questions.
Take a bus from Capital Airport to Capital State Guesthouse. This time, he was directly arranged to live in Capital State Guesthouse, where there will be a state banquet. Almost all the heavyweight scholars and experts from the Chinese economics community arrived, and the chairman of the five major national asset management companies, the Central Development and Reform Commission, the Foreign Trade Commission, the Central Bank, the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and the Entrepreneurs Association were also here.
First of all, the President's cordial reception and meeting, which took about half an hour to talk. Some topics that Chairman Wang had to ask were sent to Hong Kong yesterday afternoon. The General Office of the State Council hoped that Yang Shaozong would be fully prepared to answer, because they were all important issues related to national economic policies.
A state banquet will be held after the talks. At that time, Vice Premier Wu will say a few words on behalf of the State Council and the Central Financial and Economic Policy Committee. Yang Shaozong will prepare a report of about twenty minutes later. It has been notified clearly in advance. It is not necessarily a report. It is a free speech. It would be better to talk about the future economic development situation of the international and domestic countries.
This time I invite you back not only to commend you, but also to hope that you will guide your work.
When he arrived at the Capital State Guesthouse, Yang Shaozong met Chairman Wang. Although it was not the first time he met, the previous few times were collective work meetings. The chairman was high and he was just a department-level civil servant.
This time, Chairman Wang met with him and some senior executives of Zhongqi Company alone, especially the heroes of these countries who participated in the Hong Kong financial sniper war.
After meeting, Chairman Wang continued to give 20 minutes of meeting time at the State Guesthouse and had a cordial conversation. The central leaders and several senior executives from Zhongqi were listed. Hua Kangsheng and Kan Zhidong also hurried over to wait for Yang Shaozong in the capital, and joined in the fun together, and were full of faces in the scene where the central leaders appeared.
The only media allowed to enter were Xinhua News Agency, CCTV, and reporters from the Central Financial Daily. Although there were only three units, each unit routinely sent a large team of people to create a momentum of dozens of media present - this is really a common practice. Yang Shaozong has become accustomed to it. In the past, even the Central Financial Daily will not have this opportunity.
After formally sitting down, Chairman Wang and Yang Shaozong laughed affectionately: "You Zhongqi has done a very good job this time. It has saved Hong Kong, that is, it has saved our South Gate. The role you play is no less than that of an aircraft carrier in China. Especially you can win the Nobel Prize in Economics. This is enough to show that you are the highest-level masters in the international economics industry. You are very young. It is very difficult to achieve such achievements. It is also the pride of us Chinese and Chinese economics industry."
Yang Shaozong didn't know how to say this.
He can't say that I'm trying to make a fuss, it's such a slap in the face.
Yang Shaozong could only nodded with a tough bullet and said, "Thank you, Chairman, for your compliment. I think we are not doing enough. When my energy is still the most vigorous, I still have to continue to work hard on domestic economic development policies and research to strive to be able to provide advice for the country!"
Chairman Wang...How can I say that he is a very distant world from Yang Shaozong. In his opinion, Yang Shaozong is indeed a very outstanding talent, and China does lack such talents now.
Chairman Wang has his own worldview and logical thinking habits. He still praised him happily and said: "I heard from Premier Rong that you are the main promoter of the first and second reforms of our domestic state-owned enterprises, and are also the best expert in the transformation of the state-owned economy. He is also responsible for very important research tasks. This is very important, but I believe that you can do these tasks well and make very high contributions to the country's economic construction."
...
Many of the previous words are indeed the same, and they didn't get to the point. After talking for about a few minutes, Chairman Wang asked Yang Shaozong to carefully analyze the main causes and the entire process of the financial crisis, especially what special impact it had on China.
In this regard, Yang Shaozong has actually talked a lot, and other experts and Chairman Wang must have made a lot of reports.
In short, opportunities are still rare, and opportunities need to be seized by yourself.
After Yang Shaozong got a list of several possible questions yesterday afternoon, he took time to sort out the materials.
Faced with the first professional xing problem, Yang Shaozong still thought about it for a while and then replied to Chairman Wang: "In fact, there are many problems that we have not said to the outside world, nor can we say. The Asian financial crisis is fundamentally a problem of economic discrimination. On the surface, major European and American institutions praised the achievements made by Asia over the years. In fact, they do not agree with it, dislike it, and are unhappy. This is still a European-American centralism issue that has been continued before World War II. I personally think this is an ideological and economic competition, and the scope of ideology is very large, including regions and races.
, history, national political system, nation and other aspects, we Chinese say that they are not of our race, and their hearts will be different. In fact, Europeans and Americans also have such a shallow overall social consciousness. When we talk about the Asian financial crisis, in fact, the source of the Asian financial crisis is still the economic bubble, and the source of the economic bubble is actually the result of administrative intervention by European and American governments. We can simply say that the US government actually hit the entire Asian economy by cracking down on the economy. However, the consequences of this blow were covered up by Asian countries with wrong economic policies, and then concentrated in this stage that could no longer be covered up.
After the Asian financial crisis is over, I think China will have a golden decade of development. If it continues to develop according to this GD, our GD will likely exceed it in ten years. At that time, we will encounter greater economic, political, and even military pressure, because in the eyes of the US government, China was too dangerous at that time and could challenge its world hegemony. Now is an era of nuclear weapons, and no one dares to start a war easily. However, this does not mean that the US government and American society use financial warfare to attack us. Wars have government factors, and even greater
It comes from the social level. The progress of modern society is that we can attack a country without relying on the army and the government, which makes the country full of holes. For example, our Zhongqi Investment Bank directly used financial leverage to plummet the Indonesian rupiah exchange rate by 30%, the wealth of the entire country evaporated by 30%, more than 20 banks went bankrupt, and more than 20 million people went unemployed. I personally think this is even greater than the destructive factor brought by normal military wars. Moreover, after we fought Indonesia, we also swept away billions of dollars in gains from the Indonesian Central Bank and the entire society."
Yang Shaozong said a lot in one breath, but he brought a very important message to the central government, that is, the war has changed a new situation and a new competition has arrived.
Chairman Wang was silent for a long time, and was a little surprised by Yang Shaozong's straightforwardness. After a moment, he agreed: "Yes, you are very right, and your analysis is also the most profound. He is worthy of being the most wise economist in our country."
Yang Shaozong would not miss this opportunity. He continued: "So I have always insisted on two suggestions. First, we must develop comprehensively and balancedly, and we must suppress the boom trend of the real estate industry, so that social capital can flow freely to the new technology and other infrastructure fields. We must attract private capital to intervene in the research of military technology. We must achieve a comprehensive and balanced development of military, economy, politics, education, science and technology, medical care and social security in the golden decade. It doesn't matter if we don't have a slower relationship. 7% per year is very good, but we must ensure that these 7% are very high-quality, and are from science and technology and high-level. I believe that the real estate industry contributes 3% of the GDP growth, which is far less effective than the industry contributes 1% of the GDP growth. Second, I continue to insist on promoting national capital.
The development of the structure from monopolyism to state capitalism. We used to say that we should learn from the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union collapsed, and we said that we should learn from it, but now we say that we should learn from the United States. It is right to learn from the United States, but the United States is too different from us and cannot be learned from hard learning. What we should really learn is Singapore. Singapore is the most similar to us in all aspects, and it is also the most easily emulated reference target. If our politics can be as honest as Singapore and capital operation efficiency can reach the level of Singapore, if we are equivalent to 100 Singapores in ten years, I think our reforms in the golden decade will be successful. Even if the US government and society want to oppress us to submit and let us continue to collapse like the same, I think the probability of Americans being able to succeed is slim."
"right!"
This time, Chairman Wang's answer was very straightforward.
In Yang Shaozong's observation, he always felt that Chairman Wang was a very cautious person, and this straightforward determination surprised him a little.
Chairman Wang continued: "There is no doubt that I agree with the promotion of comprehensive development and national capital structure reform. This is very important. We cannot say that Singapore is small and GD is not as high as us, so we will not learn from it. Learning Singapore is good, and I think it is a very feasible path. Especially in the idea of comprehensive development, I think you can go deeper and do more research to play a leading role in formulating policies for the government. As for the way the reform of national capital structure should be carried out, we should continue to seek and practice step by step, and not be too hasty. The establishment of the five major asset management companies is of great significance. This is the first step we have taken."
Yang Shaozong said: "Chairman, I firmly believe that the operational efficiency of the free market is high. Let me take the current highway construction as an example. We use state capital to build a nationalized company, a single investment, and a thirty-year return. It seems perfect. I don't know which expert is arguing the advantages of this policy, but I can penetrate his point of view with just one question. How to deal with the employees of state-owned highway operation companies in thirty years? According to this policy, we will gradually add about 5 million new employees in the state-owned enterprise monopoly industry in the future. Their leaders are high returns, high waste, drink Moutai, sit on Audi, draw China, and go down.
The employees with high annual salary and high welfare. What should I do in thirty years? How can these people be resettled? The country cannot set up a good location. Will the expressways across the country continue to operate tolls? Five million people, the annual salary burden will be more than 100 billion. If we calculate it carefully, the annual burden will be at least 300 billion. Now it is 300 billion. How many billions should be in ten years? I believe it can be close to 1 trillion. The cost of one trillion is all on the highway. How much does the logistics cost in the country have to increase? Who will pay in the end? The logistics company shares one trillion, and it will weigh on the heads of the people. Could it be that we use this method
To increase national GD and domestic residents' consumption? So, I said that I cannot do this, and I should let it run for the free market. These tasks are not high-tech. As long as you are a responsible junior high school student, a monthly salary of 1,000 is enough. Thirty years later, the road cannot be operated for fees and the business is reduced. I will lay off employees, or take on projects abroad and transfer the business abroad. Even, we can directly increase the fuel tax and raise the road with taxes. The state raises taxes to build roads, and allocate road maintenance fees to local governments every year. Local governments cannot set up nationalized companies to maintain them on their own, but subcontract them to sibu enterprises to undertake maintenance work. From top to bottom, we are alone
If you don’t raise it, you won’t waste a penny. Of course, the premise for us to increase the fuel tax is that the oil price must be lowered. We will sell as much as the international price. If it is a state monopoly, PetroChina will backlog a lot of administrative waste costs and the high wage costs of public institutions on oil prices. If the oil price is so high, will it be okay to add fuel tax? In the end, my suggestion is not to ask for Chinese special forces in economic construction. Liberalized market economy logic and imitating Singapore and the United States is the easiest way. Otherwise, once the golden decade ends, we will be internal and external troubles. There are a large number of state-owned enterprises that are slapping the people. There are European and American powers and international investment banks hype the RMB outside."
This time, Chairman Wang was really speechless.
It is said that Yang Shaozong is sharp, but it is a bit scary to be so sharp.
The key is that Yang Shaozong's academic status is too high now and is unattainable in China. He estimates it based on the principles of economic theory and draws the conclusion that people have to believe it. Even if you don't believe it, you will always worry about being told by him because the probability of his being told is very high.
If Li Zhaotang predicts the economic development trajectory in the next ten years and his accuracy rate can be 30%, Yang Shaozong can basically reach the level of 60%. Others are either below 30%, or below 50%. More than half of the accuracy rate is definitely only Yang Shaozong, because Yang Shaozong is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics.
Unlike other Nobel Prize winners of economics and Yang Xiaokai, Yang Shaozong's real expertise is to study the domestic economic structure, especially his article "The Long-term Impact of Regional Administrative Competition on China's Economy", which basically laid the leading policies and models for the central government to balance and control the local economy.
Chairman Wang thought about it for a long time and felt that in front of other leaders and reporters, this topic could not be discussed anymore, because Yang Shaozong was much sharper than he expected, and it was so painful that it hurt people to the point. Several leaders accompanying the seats and Xinhua News Agency reporters standing opposite each other were shocked and sweating.
After thinking for a while, Chairman Wang decided to end this conversation and said, "We will talk about these things slowly tonight, and we will not rush to talk about them now. Now, Hong Kong and the international community have a very high evaluation of China Banner Investment Bank. This is a good opportunity. We should continue to work hard to achieve better results!"
Yang Shaozong nodded, and changed the topic accordingly, saying: "We are seeking the opportunity to acquire Standard Chartered Bank and get the right to issue Hong Kong dollars!"
"oh?"
Chairman Wang was overjoyed and was obviously very concerned about this matter. He continued to ask: "Is the chance great?"
Yang Shaozong thought for a while and said, "As 70% or 80% sure, the president of Hong Kong Zhongqian is making the final efforts. We strive for a friendly and win-win merger, so that the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank will pass this merger. If the acquisition of Standard Chartered Bank is successful, we will extend our hands to Africa next. If the Chinese economy wants to develop safely and stably in the long run, it is ultimately necessary to do a good job in manufacturing. Every point of our GD growth, the demand for international energy and minerals will increase by 1% to 3%. This demand is very large. If the financial industry can be used to expand to the African and South American markets and stabilize our mineral demand, I think this will be the biggest help from Zhongqi Investment Bank to the long-term development of China's economy!"
"Okay, OK, very good thing!"
Chairman Wang repeatedly praised him. He finally understood why Premier Rong relied on Yang Shaozong so much. His ideas were clear and long-term, and he looked at the problems in depth. Every step he took was profound and meaningful.
The twenty-minute appointment time has come, and there are other schedules later. Chairman Wang was a little regretful, so he said goodbye to Yang Shaozong first, sent Yang Shaozong and others to the venue, and went to the state banquet together to attend the pre-arranged large state banquet.
The state banquet is still quite interesting now. Drinks such as Coke are basically specially provided by Qizhen Group. Perhaps to respect Yang Shaozong and Zhongqi Group, this time even white wine and wine have chosen products under Qizhen Group.
When Yang Shaozong and others arrived at the banquet hall, Vice Premier Wu seized the time to go on stage and talked for more than ten minutes, congratulating Yang Shaozong and Zhongqi Investment Bank on their good achievements in the Hong Kong financial blocking war and making great contributions to the country and Hong Kong. At the same time, we also warmly congratulate Yang Shaozong on his winning of the Nobel Prize in Economics, which is a great achievement of China's education reform, a collective honor for the Chinese people and the Chinese economics community, this is the first step for China's research in the economic field to the world, and will surely open a great new chapter.
After Vice Premier Wu finished speaking and everyone applauded, Yang Shaozong was also invited to come to the stage to accept the new honors and new appointment letters issued by the state - Director of the China National Economic Research Center and Member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank.
The director of the China National Economic Research Center is of course the highest honor and status of a lackey scholar. It is impossible to be higher than that.
More than 3,000 economists across the country are looking forward to this position, and everyone is rushing to do so. Even if they die, they can rest in peace. Yang Shaozong's graduate supervisor Li Zhaotang has been planning for this position for a long time, but unfortunately, he still failed.
Of course, Li Zhaotang was not bad at all. He trained students like Yang Shaozong and respectfully served allegiance for so many years, with both contributions and hard work. Now he has become the president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, basically second only to Yang Shaozong, and has a higher level, but his voice has become weaker in the process of formulating specific policies.
In any case, Li Zhaotang and Yang Shaozong are truly glorious. They have firmly occupied two major seats in the process of making economic policies in China and are also the peak seats for all scholar-type officials. The former is already a member of the Chinese CPPCC, while the latter is basically waiting for the CPPCC to change its leadership and will definitely be able to go up.
After walking on stage and accepting the two Hong Cancan letters of appointments from Vice Premier Wu personally handed over by two Hong Cancan, Yang Shaozong also moved. He looked at the more than 600 guests in the audience, and was very satisfied with everyone's jealousy and envy towards him.
After hard work, he finally realized his ideal first step.
Now, he has the real right to speak, and others may not understand it, but everyone here knows that from now on, the central government needs to speak and study every economic policy formulation and decision.
Now, he is the number one aide in the central economic and monetary policy.
He is awesome.
Yang Shaozongting smiled happily and expressed his gratitude to all the guests: "Thank you very much for the trust of the central government in me. I will do my best to contribute my knowledge and strength to the country. I firmly believe that China will usher in a very brilliant development stage in the next ten years. We must unite and firmly grasp the opportunity given to us by history and the world, become a real world economic power, and firmly grasp the right to speak in the world economy. I firmly believe that as long as everyone here puts 120% of the effort, we can do this. Ten years later, if we can still gather here, we can say that the world belongs to us and all Chinese people!"
Of course, his words were very sensational. Everyone applauded and were happy. Although they had not climbed to this position, no matter what, they were the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics and the chairman of the board of directors of Asia's largest investment bank. Being defeated by him is more embarrassing than losing to Li Zhaotang.
It's reasonable.
To be continued...
