Wushan's economic and trade delegation to New York was invited by more than 120 people, and was invited by the US-China Friendship Association, which just founded in New York, to the United States for investment promotion, cultural exchanges and other activities.

Because Sino-US relations have just been thawed, the economic and trade group focuses on economic activities and tries to downplay politics as much as possible. The economic and trade group is led by the Chairman of the CPPCC Du Kecheng.

Lu Zheng took the easy ride temporarily and insisted on refusing to be the leader of the group. When talking about the economic and trade activities, all matters were arranged, which was in line with the pulse of current Sino-US relations. Suddenly, if he was the head of the government as the leader of the group, all arrangements would change and the impact would be great. So in the end, Lu Zheng just asked someone to add his name to the list of members of the inspection team.

In the first class of the plane, Lu Zheng and Du Kecheng sat next to each other. The two in front were the vice chairman of the CPPCC, the chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and Gong Yumen, the chairman of the Qingquan Group.

Entrepreneurs accounted for most of the members of this economic and trade inspection team. Civil servants and private entrepreneurs accounted for the expenses of overseas inspections separately, and Wushan Federation of Industry and Commerce also bears part of the official expenses.

The system of the Wushan Special Zone Chamber of Commerce and Industry Federation is very light, and the government's financial allocation is not much. The main income of the Chamber of Commerce comes from the membership fees of the Chamber of Commerce, donations from relevant units and individuals, paid service income, etc.

The All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce is also known as the China Chamber of Commerce. In Wushan, in addition to taking on the responsibilities of the Chamber of Commerce, its members' voices are also being paid more and more attention.

In the Wushan Federation of Industry and Commerce, we can often contact "big bosses". Some "famous entrepreneurs" who were usually only seen on newspapers and TV are basically members of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. Whenever there are major events, they should be invited to participate. Whenever there is a local policy in Wushan, they should be invited to have a discussion, listen to feedback and opinions. Some of them, recommended by the Municipal United Front Work Department, held positions in the National People's Congress or the CPPCC. During the Two Sessions, they need to propose proposals, proposals, suggestions, and participate in state affairs. In this regard, in Wushan, the Federation of Industry and Commerce and various democratic parties are very important work content.

The dynamic working situation of the Cash Wushan CPPCC and the Federation of Industry and Commerce has to mention the concepts that have been consistent in the main leadership positions of Lu Zheng, Du Kecheng and other heavyweights in the Municipal CPPCC.

Dukecheng was deeply touched by this, and he was even grateful for Lu Zheng's subtle influence in the CPPCC. Although he only lit a small flame, he benefited a lot from his latecomer, making him still shine after retreating to the second line. He also left the party and government leadership position and lost the power in his hands, but instead saw the disadvantages of the entire system more clearly.

Sometimes Dukecheng thought to himself that this is a common problem for many old comrades. When he was on stage, he was obsessed with the power in his hands. When he was off stage, he would hope to face a fair and just society. When he was on stage, he would be the beneficiary of power, but when he was off stage, he might become a victim of such unsupervised power. Without the power to be locked in a cage, the entire society will eventually be hurt.

Sitting beside Lu Zheng, the two chatted in a low voice. Dukecheng was filled with emotion. Lu Zheng seemed to be the Yu Bu who had been in contact with him. The only one on stage who was keen to put various shackles on his power. Although, in this process, his control may actually become stronger and stronger, this is inevitable in a society with a leadership complex. However, taking Wushan as an example, if Lu Zheng's various ideas can be realized and deepened, in the future, when Lu Zheng's extraordinary courageous changer is lost, the existence of the structure he established will have universal significance.

Foreign media once said that the central government is planning to build the Wushan Special Zone into the second Hong Kong. I don’t know if the central leaders think so. However, the information that Lu Zheng intentionally or unintentionally revealed in private is that his original intention to guide change in certain areas may be Lu Zheng’s ardent ambition hidden in his heart.

Thinking of this, Dukecheng couldn't help but feel a cold sweat for this old friend.

Gong Yumen, who was sitting in the front row, would occasionally turn around and chat with Lu Zheng and Dukecheng with a smile, but he was very careful about the topic.

Qingquan Group, which now swept half of the mainland market with Qingquan series of drinks, is developing extremely rapidly. Gong Yumen is already one of the most well-known entrepreneurs in China. The Wushan Phoenix Charity Association he led also has a good reputation. No matter from any angle, Gong Yumen is very successful. However, this business legend still maintains his low-key and modest style of behavior, and he can't feel any aura from him.

He paid part of the cost of this inspection team, and the account he left was his donation to the Federation of Industry and Commerce by a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

Now the relevant departments in Wushan have a very strict review of the expenditure on overseas expenditures, and even if there are small treasuries, they dare not act lightly. Without funds, some unit leaders have the idea of ​​state-owned enterprises. Many people go abroad to inspect with the bosses of state-owned enterprises to take the opportunity to travel with public funds.

Of course, although public expenditure is strictly controlled, the money that should be spent will not be stuck in the market. For example, this time, the city finance has allocated special funds for the public expenditure, and the funds are not small, because the task of this trade group is not only to attract investment and negotiate cooperation projects, but also an opportunity to promote the image of Wushan in New York. It is important to establish a good positive image for Wushan. If you want to establish a good image, in a capitalist society, it must be solved through money. The trade group not only hires professional public relations companies, but also publishes a large number of advertisements. Just publishing advertisements promoting Wushan in well-known American media is a considerable expense.

While conducting extensive publicity, the air tickets and hotels that the civil servants of the economic and trade group were originally planning to book were not very high-end, which made the corporate people in the group who were borne by themselves very embarrassed. They wanted to travel more comfortably and live more comfortably, especially when they were thousands of miles away, they might not adapt to the local conditions and did not want to make themselves feel frustrated. However, if you say that they were partially open with Chairman Du, it seems that it was not the case that they were waiting to stay in a star-rated hotel.

Finally, Gong Yumen came forward and through the allocation of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, he took on the travel and accommodation expenses of the civil servants in the economic and trade delegation. He flew to New York by chartering a flight, and the economic and trade delegation would stay at the Pearl Hotel, a five-star hotel in New York.

These are things that Lu Zheng has not decided to go with the economic and trade groups. After Lu Zheng has been with him, of course, no changes have been made.

While Dukecheng was chatting with Lu Zheng in a low voice, Gong Yumen put on his headphones and focused on the audio-visual on-demand program.

"Mayor, can you reveal your strategy? Do I need my cooperation with Li Changgen?" Dukecheng asked worriedly.

Lu Zheng shook his head, "Let's go and see. If you want to talk about strategy, I hope to meet some American politicians and talk to them openly. In countries like the United States, many things are difficult to handle by diplomatic means. It is better to follow the line of government officials than to follow the line of influential parliamentarians and celebrities. I asked someone to arrange such a meeting for me through some overseas relations. Can I meet the people I want to meet? I can only say that I can walk and see.
