Chapter 235 Encourage free competition

Pan Weihua did not feel everyone's displeasure, and might not care about it. He is a cadre in the rising period. He has no awe for officials who are much older than him and who are only half a level higher than him. He was promoted from the Planning Commission of a certain province. After he arrived at the National Planning Commission, he was determined to do a great cause. This time he went abroad with the large fertilizer inspection team. He saw all kinds of chaos in the group and felt disdainful. Now he has a chance to be able to spit out, so how could he care about what others think?

"The introduction of large fertilizers involves three interests. First, it is the interests of agriculture. The agricultural department naturally hopes that the sooner the large fertilizers are built, the better, because this can ensure the increase in agricultural income. In this regard, directly introducing equipment is the best choice; second, it is the interests of fertilizer plants. They hope that the equipment will be put into production as soon as possible and can make profits. At the same time, they also hope that the quality of equipment must be stable. No one can stand it after repairing in three days or two days. From this regard, direct introduction is also the best choice. Third, it is naturally the interests of equipment companies and the machinery department. It is definitely better to build equipment by themselves. If it is fully introduced, the machinery department should be disbanded."

Pan Weihua talked freely, not knowing that he had offended Rao Zhitao.

"Xiao Pan, as you say, we proposed to build our own equipment just for the sake of departmental interests? We were afraid that our mechanical department would be disbanded and that we would have no food to eat?" Rao Zhitao asked in a contemptuous tone.

"It's not wrong to think about the interests of the department." Pan Weihua said, "Economic theory believes that people have self-interest motivations. The result of the pursuit of the maximization of their own interests can promote the maximization of economic efficiency."

This guy is currently studying for a graduate student in the Academy of Social Sciences and has studied some Western economic theories. At that time, although the mainstream economic theory in China was still political economy, there were not many people studying Western economic theories in universities and research institutions, and the influence was getting bigger and bigger. Pan Weihua had never been exposed to this concept in the past. After listening to a few lessons, he felt suddenly enlightened and couldn't help but show off here.

Rao Zhitao doesn't understand Western economics. He even knows political economy a little. He knows that it is easy to suffer a loss when he gets into trouble with Pan Weihua. He put aside the previous topic and said: "According to your opinion, the agricultural department and the chemical department all hope to introduce equipment, and it makes sense. Only our machinery department is obstructing the introduction of equipment for the benefit of the department. Is that true?"

"Of course, the mechanical department has its own reasons. I said that it is not a mistake to consider the interests of the department." Pan Weihua said.

Rao Zhitao said: "You said, it's better to buy than to build, and it's better to rent than to buy? According to your point of view, we should not only disband the Ministry of Machinery, but also the machinery factories under the Ministry of Chemical Industry should also close down. Everyone just buys equipment from abroad."

Pan Weihua said with a graceful smile: "Director Rao, you are so extreme. I did not say that you would disband the machinery department, nor did I say that you would close the machinery factory. I just stated a fact. Besides, it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to rent than to buy. Isn't this the political language of the movement era? It has been criticized now, and I have never said that."

"Isn't that what you mean?" Rao Zhitao was so annoyed by Pan Weihua that he no longer had the calmness he had just now.

"Director Rao, don't be excited, we are discussing the problem." Wang Shicheng saw the signs and quickly stopped Rao Zhitao. If he continues to provoke like this, the inspection team might have a second fight, and it will be a fight between the cadres of the ministries and commissions. Wang Shicheng, the leader, will be over.

"Xiao Feng, why don't you tell me what you think. The independent research and development of large fertilizer equipment is a task you have to reinstall. Not only the Machinery Department considers this way." Wang Shicheng directed his firepower to Feng Xiaochen. He knew that older cadres like Rao Zhitao would definitely not be able to play with Pan Weihua, and they were qualified to rely on their seniority, so they would definitely have to start arguing in the end. Feng Xiaochen is different. Although Wang Shicheng had never had any dealings with Feng Xiaochen in the past, he also knew that he was a strange flower in the Economic Commission, with an extremely powerful combat power. Let him fight Pan Weihua, at least he could cool down Rao Zhitao.

After Wang Shicheng interrupted, Rao Zhitao stopped talking. He had just quarreled with Pan Weihua, and he felt a little overwhelmed. Besides, with his age and position, there was no glory in winning, and it was even more embarrassing to lose. Wang Shicheng asked Feng Xiaochen to come out to block the gun for him, and he was happy to watch the fun. Seeing Niu Kean next to him smelling a cigarette, he simply snatched the cigarette over, took the lighter on the coffee table and lit it, and said, "Nnd, I have already smoked just now, so I'll just fine it. If I don't let you smoke, why are you still alive?"

"That's right, I can't hold it in anymore." Seeing someone standing up, Niu Kean quickly took a cigarette and lit it, and smiled and nodded to Rao Zhitao. Some of them expressed support for Rao Zhitao's previous view.

They were there to entertain themselves without mentioning it. Feng Xiaochen had just watched Pan Weihua and Rao Zhitao argue, and had some thoughts in his mind. Hearing Wang Shicheng's general, he stopped playing low-key. He raised his head and asked Pan Weihua with a smile: "Director Pan's analysis just now is quite reasonable. There is a conflict between the interests of all parties, and I don't know how Director Pan considered it."

Pan Weihua looked at Feng Xiaochen and felt a little unhappy. Rao Zhitao's level was higher than him, but Pan Weihua didn't care about it. He felt that his youth was the greatest capital. When he was in the sixth year, he would definitely be more than a deputy director. However, Feng Xiaochen was a younger cadre than him, and he was only half a level away from him. At this development speed, by the time Feng Xiaochen was in his early 30s, he would probably be more than a person who could stop him.

Pan Weihua always feels that he is an outstanding talent, but he is not lucky enough and has not improved quickly enough. In the eyes of others, he is already very awesome as a director who is just 30 years old, but he himself feels very dissatisfied. Seeing that Feng Xiaochen was just 21 years old as a deputy director, he can imagine how unhappy he feels.

I don’t know who flattered me and got it up. Pan Weihua has criticized Feng Xiaochen in his heart more than once. At this time, when Feng Xiaochen asked him a question, he wanted to show his talent, and it would be better to make Feng Xiaochen feel ashamed and leave with his face covering. That would be great.

"Our Planning Commission is responsible for coordinating interest relations in all aspects, but our traditional coordination method does not start from theory, but considers human relationships too much. This is why we have not done a good job in the past few decades." Pan Weihua opened his mouth and beat everyone. Almost everyone in the room was thinking about whether to write down the kid's words and find an opportunity to pass them to the director or director of the planning commission to see how many days this kid can still jump around.

Pan Weihua doesn't care about everyone's thoughts. He once said these words in his committee that the director above him was a relatively open-minded person. He thought that his view was also worthy, and he was out of the idea of ​​protecting young cadres, so he did not criticize him or make things difficult for him, which encouraged Pan Weihua's words to be unrestrained.

"I think that if we want to carry out reforms, we must break this bureaucratic system and solve economic problems with an economic perspective. We cannot always stand in a mixed perspective and see whoever can make trouble will benefit. This will not lead to four modernizations." Pan Weihua said excitedly.

If there were no such words as the "Four Modernizations", Feng Xiaochen would almost suspect that Pan Weihua was a big online V who traveled through time. In fact, it is really impossible to say that Pan Weihua's words are unreasonable. In the subsequent decades of reforms, China was indeed moving towards breaking the bureaucratic system and using economic laws to guide economic construction. What Pan Weihua said was a bit ahead of the curve.

"Director Pan makes sense." Feng Xiaochen responded calmly, "What is the economic viewpoint you are talking about?"

"Nature is free competition, and the fittest survive." Pan Weihua said for granted.

"This... I don't know much. Can Director Pan explain it to me?" Feng Xiaochen said. He had already vaguely guessed Pan Weihua's position. This position could have been shocking back then, but it was not new at all in 20 years. To put it bluntly, it is a neoliberal view, emphasizing reducing government intervention, encouraging free competition, and believing that the economic system can achieve internal optimality.

How to say this view has its correct side and its childish side. If it is just a reasonable point and applied, it is good. Competition can indeed improve efficiency and reduce power rent-seeking. But taking this theory as a dogma and going to the extreme will become a poison.

Nowadays, a group of emerging countries in South America are happily drinking neoliberal chicken soup, and their economy is indeed developing very well, and they can be regarded as a model for developing countries. But Feng Xiaochen knew that in a few years, these countries in South America will become ill and will be unable to turn over for decades, thus making "Latin America" ​​the most vicious curse.

By then, leaders of various countries would curse like this when they met:

"Your country is going to be latinized!"

"Your country has been laid out, your whole family has been laid out!"
