Chapter 17 Strategic Reserve "Continue to Ask for a Monthly Ticket"

Boss Zhu is very busy. Now his management is not limited to economic work. Because the big boss is in poor health, he has been supporting the daily work of the State Council. Since he was elected as a member of the Politburo Standing Committee last year, he has shouldered The burden is even heavier. This chapter was uploaded by a netizen, and the net hereby declares

When Fan Wubing met Boss Zhu, he was reviewing documents, and a dozen leaders came to report to him one by one. After finishing a paragraph, Boss Zhu greeted Fan Wubing.

"President Fan came here today, what new instructions do you have?" Boss Zhu asked humorously.

Seeing Boss Zhu like this, Fan Wubing couldn't help smiling.

Among the current national leaders in China, Boss Zhu is quite a person with personal style and courage. Take a speech counted by Hong Kong Asia Weekly as an example. In just over an hour, his speech was interrupted by fifty-three applause.

At the beginning, Fan Wubing felt a little unbelievable, but after getting in touch with him for a long time, he realized that this statement was true. However, it is a pity that in the news broadcast by CCTV and in the unified manuscript of Xinhua News Agency, all the stereotypes that Boss Zhu wrote according to the script are listed in accordance with the rules. The content of warm applause and laughter has been deleted.

In this way, the serious Zhu Ji that people see in front of the TV or in the newspaper is really far from the talking, laughing and energetic Boss Zhu that the attendees see directly at the meeting. It's like two different people.

"Boss Zhu is in a good mood today." Fan Wubing asked with a smile.

Boss Zhu smiled and said, "It's not bad, it's not a bad thing to be appointed as the deputy prime minister again. At least I can continue to do some specific things, so that some people like it and some people hate it."

"Your temper is too straightforward, it is easy to suffer, especially after stepping down." Fan Wubing said to Boss Zhu.

This is what Fan Wubing dared to say in person. He has just been appointed as the Deputy Prime Minister for the second time. He was also elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo. It was the time when he was on his way to the top. In the future, he will be the prime minister in charge of state affairs. The good days in the future are yet to come. As a result, Fan Wubing is here to say what will happen after he steps down. This makes people listen up. How much will you feel uncomfortable in your heart? No matter how well-mannered a person is, it is impossible not to get angry after hearing it.

Boss Zhu looked at Fan Wubing. Then said. "I have a five-no principle. No inscriptions. No courtesy. No invitations. No ribbon-cutting. No approval of notes. The comrades in Shanghai know this. I also brought this habit to Beijing. It was brought to the State Council."

Fan Wubing nodded. Said to have heard. But he didn't know why Boss Zhu brought up this matter suddenly.

"When I was in Shanghai four years ago. Osaka, Japan and Shanghai became sister cities for the 15th anniversary. One was held." The ancients said. Officials are not afraid of my strictness but my integrity. The people do not fear my ability but my father. Gong Shengming. Lian Shengwei. Another cloud. Bribes also. Then the officials back their public interests and fulfill their private interests. The reason why this teaching must be abolished is not allowed. These two sentences are just that. The subordinates are not afraid of my strictness. But they are afraid of my innocence. The people are not convinced of my talents. But I am convinced of my fairness. just. Then the people dare not neglect. honest. Then the subordinates dare not bully. Justice produces strictness. Integrity creates prestige. Once there is a relationship of interest. Then officials will not be able to rule out their selfish distractions and pursue their own interests. harm national interests. Morality will be lost. The law will be violated. Rules and regulations will be useless. I am from Shanghai to Beijing. Always keep these old teachings in mind. Consider it a motto. And do it yourself. As for what will happen after I step down. That is not something to consider now. Things in China are not doing well. It is because many people are too concerned about the affairs behind them. "

"I know. As a government official, this is a necessary condition. But it is quite difficult to follow it as a lifelong ethics. Sometimes others force you to accept gifts. Reciprocity and sophistication. The Chinese people are the most disgusting. That's it." Fan Wubing said.

Boss Zhu shook his head and said. "You're just misinterpreting it. Courtesy is reciprocal. It's not about giving gifts. The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. The sages have also said this. Hmm. Off topic. What are you going to say when you come here this time? You see .I'm very busy."

"This time—" Fan Wubing patted his head. Said a little embarrassedly. "I forgot all at once."

Boss Zhu laughed loudly, "Don't worry, just think about it slowly."

Fan Wubing let out a high and said, "Several things are not only related to my own interests, but also related to the interests of the country. I have to talk about them."

"Well, then tell me, I'll write it down." Boss Zhu put on his eyes, took a notebook seriously, found a pencil and sat there, waiting for Fan Wubing to speak.

Fan Wubing suddenly felt a little stunned. He didn't expect Boss Zhu to record it himself, so he said, "No need to do this. I have prepared some materials, and I will send them to you later."

"I have been used to it for many years, and I am afraid that I will forget something wrong." Boss Zhu indicated that it does not matter.

Fan Wubing then said, "The first thing is about the hoarding of national strategic materials."

After hearing this, Boss Zhu was very surprised, "Well, since when did you care about this, Mr. Fan? Do you want to go into politics?"

"Uh——" Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "Where did I have that kind of thought? A few days ago, I intercepted a case of commercial espionage. Now foreigners are coveting our country's rare earth resources, and I can't wait to move these things away. empty."

Boss Zhu nodded after hearing this, "I know about rare earths. Local governments want to achieve political performance and economic benefits. These mineral resources are the easiest thing to be tempted by. In fact, foreigners are not only interested in Rare earth!"

"Although that is the case, rare earths are different from other things. We Chinese can completely control these things. Among the cutting-edge weapons of the Americans, aircraft and tank missiles cannot be precisely guided without this thing. Aircraft even Can’t break through the sound barrier, do you think it’s important?” Fan Wubing said, “Moreover, the Americans have stopped their domestic rare earth production. All rare earth mines have been sealed up, and all they need are imported from my country as strategic reserves. .Japan and South Korea are also considering importing a large amount of rare earth resources from my country. Recently, it is said that they plan to reserve two years of demand to prevent the price of rare earths from rising in the international market in the future.”

"There is such a thing? Doesn't it mean that we have no pricing power in the export price of rare earths?" Boss Zhu is engaged in economic work, and when he heard Fan Wubing's words, he grasped the point.

There are many domestic rare earth export manufacturers. In addition to Inner Mongolia, provinces such as Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang all have rare earth minerals. With so many manufacturers engaged in rare earth production at the same time, competition will inevitably form. There is no unified management organization for export, so everyone is fighting on their own. In order to compete for foreign trade exports and fight price wars, foreigners will benefit from this.

A large number of rare earth refined ores are sold at the price of cabbage. The annual sales revenue of the country is only a few billion, but a large amount of state-owned resources are sold, and the value of these resources should be thousands of times the sales revenue to meet their own value.

If Japan and South Korea are really allowed to complete their strategic deployment and prepare rare earth resource reserves for two years, they will have the pricing power. Domestic production enterprises. I'm afraid it won't last half a year. Without this export income, the people in the factory would have starved to death long ago.

After listening to Fan Wubing's words, Boss Zhu felt very headache, "Now the central government's finances are tight, and the implementation of the tax sharing system has not been effective. If we want to build a national strategic reserve, there will be many difficulties. I can only watch helplessly. There is nothing you can do about digging and mining! If you want to control this industry, you still need a lot of financial support!"

"That's why I'm here!" Fan Wubing immediately put forward his own suggestion, "Let me replace the country as a strategic reserve, build a large-scale rare earth refining enterprise in China, and uniformly refine all kinds of rare earth minerals that domestic enterprises cannot refine. , and at the same time suspend the export of rare earths, I will store all the resources, what do you think?"

"Stop the export of rare earths?" Boss Zhu was also taken aback by Fan Wubing's statement, so he said with some concern, "I guess as soon as we stop the export, ambassadors from dozens of countries will come to threaten us immediately." !"

Fan Wubing smiled slightly. "The production of rare earths pollutes the environment too much. Isn't it a good way to shut down and rectify rare earth processing and production enterprises under the pretext of controlling environmental pollution? As for the operating expenses of the factories during the shutdown period, the state will pay for them. Money, there is always no opinion in the local area? Besides, Americans don’t produce anymore, so why should we produce? Besides the United States, which country should we be afraid of? Now China is a big market, and no one dares to take economic Threatening us with sanctions is just creating opportunities for other countries!"

"Even so, I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance. There are many more environmental pollution problems than rare earth production and processing enterprises! Given the current domestic situation, who will believe it?" Boss Zhu asked.

"This requires the public opinion to focus on support. As long as the news broadcast and relevant newspapers report the rare earth pollution for a month, do you think the local people will let the factory start? And the factory workers, as long as the wages are paid, Do you think they will find it hard to rest?" Fan Wubing made a suggestion.

After listening to Fan Wubing's suggestion, Boss Zhu suddenly laughed, pointed at Fan Wubing and said, "Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan, you are really insidious! I have learned your intelligence and wisdom, and the hearts of the people are good." !"

"I'm also thinking about the interests of the country. To do this kind of thing, I'm under a lot of pressure." Fan Wubing said.

This is the truth, if the Japanese knew that Fan Wubing had done such tricks, they would have the thought of running over to assassinate him.
