Vézé had once been softly resisted by the Central Military Commission, and now he felt the pressure of being condemned by thousands of people again. Cutting off the provinces' plan to apply for financial investment was, in a sense, standing on the opposite side of the provinces. Everyone's dissatisfaction and anger naturally had to be borne by Vézé. No matter how much everyone respected Vézé, they would not give him a good look at this time.
After that, the meeting went on listlessly, and the senior provincial officials were a little listless. Vézé ignored them for the time being. That night, Vézé called Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan to his office.
Pang Congcong looked at Vézé's rather serious expression and asked seriously, "Commander-in-chief, do you have any work for us?"
Vézé nodded. "This time, the provinces asked the central government to expand the investment. That kind of unrealistic request naturally can't be agreed, but national investment is also indispensable. Therefore, I want the two of you to undertake this work. "
After listening to Vézé's order, Wang Mingshan and Pang Congcong stared at Vézé a few times, and then couldn't help but look at each other. Wang Mingshan himself came from the Ministry of Finance. A few years ago, when he was young and impetuous, he directly went against the Central Military Commission because of the budget work. At that time, he was valued by Vézé. Now, he was no longer that stubborn young man. After working as the Party Secretary of Guangdong for so long, Wang Mingshan had more and more experience. Therefore, Wang Mingshan tentatively asked, "Doesn't the central government already have a Ministry of Finance and a related financial budget department? The work of managing national investment should be the Ministry of Finance's job. "
"We can't blindly expand the authority of the Ministry of Finance. National investment itself should have a special direct management department, otherwise it will affect the more conservative attitude of the Ministry of Finance. Be diligent and thrifty, increase income and reduce expenditure. It's fine as long as the Ministry of Finance can manage the accounts independently. If even the work of increasing income is handed over to them, the Ministry of Finance itself will become schizophrenic, "replied Vézé.
Pang Congcong had not been in the Ministry of Finance before, and did not have a special understanding of the internal atmosphere of the department. Her considerations were different from those of Wang Mingshan. "Commander-in-chief, what do you want us to do?"
"State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission." Vézé answered. After that, he wrote down the full name of "State Assets Management Committee" on a piece of paper and handed it to them.
"State-owned assets …" Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan were deep in thought after reading it.
"Yes, state-owned assets. Corresponding to the state-owned assets were the private assets. Don't you have a lot of private companies in Guangdong? I heard that there are people in the livestock industry who supply vegetables, fruits, poultry, meat, and eggs to the city, "Vézé explained.
Pang Congcong's expression changed when she heard this. "Commander-in-chief, don't mention this. I get angry when you mention it! The private sector in Guangdong was really shady. Although the business was not big, there were a lot of bad people among them. There were many who bullied the market and created all kinds of underworld gangs. Before we came here, we were prepared to reorganize. I thought that these people were just doing business, but to my surprise, someone died just from selling a chicken in the market. "
Of course, it was impossible for Vézé to collect such detailed information, and it was impossible for such information to appear on Vézé's desk. But when Pang Congcong said this, Vézé was not surprised. In the design of Guangzhou City, Vézé had specially designed the market near the community community. The purpose was to enrich the people's food basket. But where there were people, there would be gangs. This was especially true in places like the market.
Pang Congcong was a smart person. When she saw Vézé's expression, she felt that Vézé had his own views on these things. She gave a brief introduction of the situation in the market. The whole process was not long. Vézé, who was listening to the report, had a calm expression. But when Pang Congcong said that the gangs were "buying" vegetables from the vegetable farmers at a low price, he frowned.
When Pang Congcong finished, Vézé asked, "What is the situation of the total supply in Guangzhou City's market now?"
"For the time being, I don't feel that the market supply is insufficient, nor do I feel that there is too much," Pang Congcong replied. Pang Congcong answered, but she felt a little uneasy. She really hadn't thought about the question Vézé asked.
"What do you think, Commander in Chief?" Wang Mingshan asked.
Vézé replied, "In the operation of a market economy, there are two main things to control: the production side and the sales channel. If you want to take money from the pockets of the people, that would be bandits and robbers. At this stage, no one dares to do so. I think the goal of these people is to create a monopoly. Now, they will first drive the farmers who produce vegetables and sell them directly out of the city market. They will intercept and buy them halfway. Then, they will fight for the right to sell the farmers' market. In the end, they will provide all the vegetables and non-staple food in Guangzhou. At this time, by monopolizing the price, they can obtain stable benefits. It is a very normal method. "
Listening to Vézé's understatement, Wang Mingshan and Pang Congcong suddenly felt enlightened. For the two of them, they only felt that this group of people had caused a serious social security problem by causing deaths. They didn't expect that behind the chaotic situation was such a simple and clear economic thinking.
After sorting out all kinds of scattered and messy information with Vézé's ideas, everything gradually became clear. Pang Congcong sighed. "Hearing you say this, it is as if you saw it with your own eyes. It really is like this. "
Wang Mingshan didn't have a soft figure like Pang Congcong. He had a stubborn personality to begin with, and the arrogance of a scholar had been worn down by his years of work. However, he really couldn't flatter Vézé in a natural and smooth manner. Wang Mingshan's question was, "Commander in Chief, what should we do?"
Vézé laughed. "The underworld is a crime that revolves around the economy. It must be uprooted. Moreover, these people are definitely not backed by a gang or a group of people. They are probably backed by territory. Without territory, they won't be able to gather enough people. If they don't have enough people, they won't be able to have such a big impact. "
After listening to Vézé's analysis, Wang Mingshan thought for a moment, then said three words: "Hailufeng."
Vézé sneered but didn't say anything. There was a saying in Guangdong, "God of thunder in the sky, Hailufeng on the ground." The people of Hailufeng had a strong sense of clan, loved to group together, and were extremely distrustful of the government. Therefore, it was normal to cause trouble. Before Vézé transmigrated, Hailufeng had caused trouble with the Bing Du Village. The entire village was engaged in the production of Bing Du Village, and a large number of armed police had to be mobilized to solve the problem. Of course, there was a reason for the place to be protected by the higher-ups, but the arrogance of the local people and their disregard for national laws were also evident.
Wang Mingshan wasn't someone who would give in. Seeing that there was a hidden meaning in Vézé's smile, he asked, "Commander in Chief, are you still worried that the local people will rebel?"
Wei Ze chuckled but did not speak directly. Back then, the Surging Tide had carried out a land reform in Hailufeng, launched an uprising, and established the first Soviet regime. Most of the smuggling in Guangdong was done by Hailufeng, and the local people really couldn't be interpreted from the perspective of ordinary people. After thinking for a moment, Vézé said, "How about this, I know the situation in Guangzhou now.
I still have the same intention, you two have to come to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. The underworld has to be fought, that's for sure. When you return to Guangdong, you have to deal with this matter. Also, let me be clear, even if you cause trouble on your side, I will support you. " Vézé was almost 40 years old in 1869, and he was no longer a young man who was rash.
And now that Vézé had offended so many people, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was a department with real power that offended people in the early days. Therefore, the ugly words had to be said first. If something really happened, Vézé could continue to implement his decision. Therefore, the ugly words had to be said first. If something really happened, Wei Ze could continue to implement his decision. After talking with Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan, Vézé announced a personnel transfer the next day.
After talking with Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan, Vézé announced a personnel transfer the next day. Pang Congcong would be the chairman of the newly established State-owned Assets Committee, responsible for the recent investment in the industrial sector. Wang Mingshan originally came from the Ministry of Finance, so he was transferred to the People's Bank as the party secretary.
The People's Bank was the national central bank, and under the leadership of the State Council, formulated and implemented monetary policy, prevented and resolved financial risks, and maintained financial stability. Unlike commercial banks, which borrowed money from the central bank to carry out various commercial investments, the People's Bank did not have any commercial operations in theory, and the central bank was in charge of the bank's currency. The Renminbi was printed with the People's Bank of China.
In terms of policy division, the central bank was in charge of monetary policy, and the Ministry of Finance was in charge of fiscal policy, and the two departments had their own duties.
In the blink of an eye, there were vacancies in two highly sought after positions. The provincial cadres who had been depressed for a while were shocked. If it was someone else, it could be said that they had offended Vézé and were dismissed. However, Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan were both Vézé's trusted subordinates, and such an order could make the two obediently hand over their most enviable positions, which showed that Vézé's control was strong enough.
Of course, if Vézé wanted to appoint and dismiss other provincial cadres, it would be a piece of cake. However, the difference between these people and Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan was that Pang Congcong and Wang Mingshan were sincerely convinced, while the other cadres would probably have some complaints.
This personnel transfer also slightly stimulated everyone's thinking, and the meeting became lively again.
"Commander-in-chief, just make our province's capital city XX like Guangzhou and Shanghai! Don't you even agree to this? " Knowing that their plan of tens of thousands to 200,000 factories was ruined, the provincial representatives took a step back and began to ask for more realistic investment.
Looking at Vézé's ambiguous expression, the people in charge either begged or said angrily, "Commander-in-chief, if you can't even agree to this, we really can't continue!"
Vézé's answer was, "These investments will be handled by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission after the establishment of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. What we need to do now is to build the infrastructure that we mentioned before. "
The Ministry of Finance's investment policy for infrastructure was actually quite good, but the infrastructure work was heavy and particularly troublesome. It was not as convenient and glamorous as directly investing in large-scale industries and building a large number of new cities in the provincial capital. After listening to Vézé's words, a considerable number of provincial governors looked disappointed.
