Chapter 1136 The Raging Original Sin
Comrade Zheng Bofan was definitely a higher-level housewife than the later Huang Xiaochu. Director Fang had only been home for more than 20 minutes, so everything she brought with her to the countryside was neatly organized.
"Remember this," he said, pointing to a medicine box next to him. "Here are the medicines. How to take them and when to take them. There are labels on the bottles."
After working in a leadership position for so many years, Director Fang is still old. It is inevitable that Director Fang has some physical problems, such as gastrointestinal problems, blood pressure... These diseases are naturally not worth mentioning to ordinary people. It's nothing, but for her, it's something she can't be careless about.
Every time I go on a business trip, I need to take more medicines than what is in the regular medicine cabinet of a well-off family.
Well, on some occasions, this medicine box is similar to a medal, "Look, I have become sick from overwork for work," or "I have persisted in working despite being sick for a long time," "I can't get out of the firing line even if I am slightly injured," and so on. .
Director Fang looked at her husband with something strange in his eyes. Like Zhang Qiuling, Comrade Zheng Bofan also thought too much. Does my wife want to praise me or hug me?
We are already an old married couple, so there is no need to be so foreign.
Director Fang raised his hand. Comrade Zheng Bochan did not receive a hug. His wife was holding a newspaper in her hand.
When she opened her mouth, it was not the compliment that Comrade Zheng Bochan, a good family woman, expected. "There are some people who just have nothing to do," Director Fang said. "Comrade Xiaoping has already said that there is no need to argue. Look at these people,"
She shook the newspaper and said, "The situation has been so good in the past few years, and they are so good at making new arguments. I see, these guys are just worried about the world being in chaos, so they are trying to attract public attention and strive for fame. In the final analysis, what they are doing is money,"
How come Zheng Bofan, who works in the social science system, doesn't know this? "Don't worry, it's no different now than before. They can't make any big waves."
"What do you mean the present is not better than before?" Director Fang shook his head, "Old Zheng, there is just a missing string in your head."
Director Fang knows very well that in the domestic political context, many issues openly discussed in newspapers will later directly affect real life. How many movements are not caused by discussions in newspapers?
It is true that there is no soil and climate for any kind of movement now, but similar discussions will definitely attract the attention of relevant units.
When he walked to the door, Director Fang was still a little worried, "Why don't you call Yiping or your daughter and tell him not to get involved in these matters?"
"Yiping definitely knows how to deal with it," Zheng Bofan said.
"Hit him, he knows it, he knows it, and we remind him," Director Fang said.
Before this, they were the ones Feng Yiping needed to cater to, but now it has changed. Feng Yiping is now the person they need to cater to.
"Okay, I'll call them all," Zheng Bofan handed the suitcase to the driver. "The conditions there are probably not very good. It's only for two nights. You must hold on."
Director Fang nodded and said nothing. Do you want to say this?
This time, she went to the village where she had been working on poverty alleviation work to summarize her work for the year and to implement one of the ideas given to her by Feng Yiping.
In the end, in order to save trouble, the village where she helped the poor did not introduce any new projects. Instead, Jiasheng recruited workers only once. Every household in the village had at least one person recruited by Jiasheng, and there was more than one extremely poor household with a surplus of labor force.
To become an employee of Huasheng, the benefits are not comparable to what they would get if they worked outside. Just this one move can lift the whole village out of poverty this year. As long as they work hard, in a year or two, the whole village will become rich. Not difficult.
It is conceivable that Director Fang's achievements in poverty alleviation this year are definitely the best among department-level cadres.
Moreover, they have made up their mind that not only will they not let it go, they will also take the initiative to apply to their superiors to expand the scope of poverty alleviation. I believe that her approach will definitely give her great points.
So this time, Director Fang is not worried about the reception at all. Given her level, the purpose of her trip and her achievements this year, the local township government might decorate a house to a high standard to accommodate the reception. How could her conditions be so bad?
Of course, Zheng Bofan, who had never been a chief official and was not of a high level, would never have thought of this.
"Don't forget to call," Director Fang warned after everyone got on the bus.
It's not that she cares about Feng Yiping, the point is that they have to rely on Feng Yiping for many things now and in the future.
"I know, you have a good time on your business trip,"
…………
Food has always been a theme that cannot be missed when traveling. Just like everyone has their own preferences, so does every city. In the evening, Feng Yiping and the others were drinking ice wine and eating local specialties in a restaurant in Vancouver. Paella, when he saw the call was from Zheng Bofan, he didn't avoid everyone and picked up the call directly, "Hello Uncle Zheng,"
"Hello, Yiping. Are you still in Canada? Are your parents adapting to it?... Jiayi said your arrangements are very appropriate and detailed. Thank you." Zheng Bofan exchanged a few words and got to the point, " Do you know the recent controversies in domestic newspapers?”
"I know, uncle, what do you think?"
Feng Yiping naturally knew that this matter was mentioned in the emails sent to him by the company and Jin Ling.
…………
In fact, domestic newspapers have been very lively this year.
Contrary to Feng Yiping's view, many scholars originally expected that SARS might bring the economy to a freezing point in 2003, but after only one quarter, the economic growth rate recovered. Now, although the fourth quarter has not yet ended, it is certain that the growth rate of this quarter will be close to 10%.
This is far beyond the imagination of many people.
So, some people quickly transitioned from one worry to another. Is the economy overheating? This term has been missing for a long time - the last time economists warned of overheating was a few years before the Asian financial crisis.
The debate began in the second half of the year. The attitudes of various ministries and commissions were not quite the same, and local governments had different thoughts.
Officials in the eastern region said, didn't the central government want us to develop faster? How could it be overheated? Officials in the western region also felt aggrieved. The development was slow to begin with. How could they catch up with the east if they didn't speed up?
As the weather turned cold, the power shortage has become clear, and the string of coal, electricity, oil and transportation has become tighter and tighter.
Many people in the private sector have said that the country's power construction has not kept pace with the pace of economic growth in recent years and has seriously lagged behind.
But some units do not see it this way. Officials from the National Development and Reform Commission warned: This is because our energy consumption for economic development has now reached a "critical point."
Since half a year ago, he has been warning to curb the excessive growth of investment. However, now, investment seems to be a horse that has run away and cannot be stopped at all.
This is true to a certain extent. Although SARS occurred, other major events also occurred in the economic world this year.
In this year, a group of private entrepreneurs began to enter the fields of energy, heavy chemicals, automobiles, such as steel, nonferrous metals, electricity, and coal on a large scale. Among them are Liu Yongxing's aluminum industry, Zhang Zhixiang's steel, and Wang Chuanfu's automobiles. Many people believe that the efforts of private enterprises to make heavy industries have met the impulse of local governments to work hard and fast, thus boosting the Chinese economy.
There are also many people who are worried that under the background of the major reform of state-owned enterprises, private enterprises have entered these fields originally controlled by state-owned enterprises on a large scale, and many of them are carried out through mergers and acquisitions of some state-owned enterprises, which is suspected of embezzling state-owned assets.
Not only the acquisition of state-owned enterprises, but also when Feng Yiping acquired Coin Star for nearly US$500 million, other domestic enterprises were not idle.
On November 4, the famous home appliance company TCL and Thomson of France officially signed an agreement to reorganize the color TV and DVD businesses of both parties and establish the world's largest color TV supplier - TCL Thomson Electronics, namely TTE.
In this joint venture, TCL and Thomson of France jointly invested 470 million euros, of which Thomson invested 155.1 million euros and held 33% of the shares, and TCL invested 314.9 million euros and held 67% of the shares. This is the first time that a Chinese company has merged a Fortune 500 company.
Another piece of news has also spread that Lenovo, a well-known domestic private enterprise, is negotiating the acquisition of the world-renowned IBM computer business. If successful, the amount will be at least more than 1 billion US dollars, which will be a record.
This should be something that makes many people proud, but the same thing can also be interpreted in another way. Ordinary people have another impression, that is, "Private enterprises are really rich!"
How can they have so much money? - Of course, this is not aimed at Feng Yiping.
It just so happens that this year, so many of the "richest people" have run into problems. Not long ago, Zhou Zhengyi in Shanghai got into trouble again, and the amount involved was beyond the imagination of the general public. Therefore, a group of economics experts who returned from overseas have started a trendy "theory of original sin of private enterprises" in the economics community.
Originally, it's nothing for them to say. They are just some pen-wielding people. Even if they are economists, they don't publish special monographs. Sometimes their remarks are no different from those of some reporters who pursue "headline parties".
If they like to make a fuss, let them make a fuss. If no one supports them and no one participates, they will soon stop by themselves.
However, at this time, there are indeed a group of "people who got rich first" in China. It is precisely in the process of getting rich that they really have many irregularities. They can't stand such remarks.
Moreover, as we all know, among the first batch of people who went into business, there were many public officials. Some of them were originally engaged in theoretical research, and their theoretical level was not low. When they found that this so-called "original sin of private enterprises" was borrowed from a term borrowed from Christian doctrine by some people who came back from abroad, drank foreign ink, and learned some Christianity, they couldn't help but feel itchy.
At this time, although they did not have their own magazines like Feng Yiping, they also had many channels to express their views.
Those with low theoretical level could not personally participate, but that didn't matter. As long as they were willing to spend money, there were plenty of experts.
So, after a while, two factions appeared in the newspapers. One faction said that private enterprises had original sin, and the other faction said that this imported term was originally a false proposition.
The two sides argued and quarreled, and the masses who were originally spectators suddenly paid attention to this issue. Once the masses paid attention, other media would naturally follow up.
As a result, most people tended to the side of original sin.
Simply, hatred of the rich is easy to incite.
Then, some entrepreneurs who thought they had a high level of theoretical knowledge took a look and felt that this was not feasible. If things continued to develop in this way, they might lose the wealth they had worked so hard to earn one day.
So, they thought they were smart and came up with an idea. The National People's Congress is about to be held, so we will promote legislation.
Article 12 of the Constitution says, "The public property of socialism is sacrosanct and inviolable." They thought that they should express their opinions before amending the Constitution. It would be better to write the sanctity of private property into the Constitution in order to seek peace. Equality of public property.
If this is true, wouldn't everything be fine?
?This, I can only say that their theoretical level is indeed high, but in the overall situation, it is really lagging behind.
Because there is no country in the world that has the clause "private property is sacred and inviolable" in its constitution.
The word "sacred" cannot be written, because writing the word "sacred" means that the source is not allowed to be traced. It means that you don't care how my money came from. Anyway, the money stolen, cheated, or robbed can no longer be traced after the constitution is amended. .
This approach actually makes many people who eat melon feel that this is a manifestation of their guilty conscience and that they are really guilty of original sin.
At this moment, another group of teammates came to help. Like the economists who first proposed the theory of original sin, a group of liberal economists who came back from abroad suggested that China's newly wealthy class had "original sin." However, in order not to affect economic development, they requested that the country imitate the historical "general amnesty" and formally grant amnesty during the National People's Congress meeting...
In short, if you quietly watch the first few economists jumping up and down, it will only be lively for a while, and not many people will care about these issues.
But now, this thing is really getting heated up.
The sad thing is that to a certain extent, Feng Yiping and his Jiasheng are the representatives of private enterprises, and they are pushed ahead intentionally or unintentionally.
…………
"Uncle Zheng, thank you for your concern. I am ready to express some opinions on this matter,"
"Ah?" Zheng Bofan was a little anxious, "Yiping, listen to me, you'd better not get involved in these things."
ps: I have created a group, 454, 231, 228. Everyone is welcome to visit and provide valuable opinions. I look forward to the opportunity to communicate with you!
