The storm begins again

Everyone turned their attention to Cao Yongguo again, thinking that Secretary Cao did not seem to be much valued in the eyes of the secretary and the governor, but they were blessed. There was a son-in-law who was popular in front of the secretary and the governor, and the secretary and the governor nodded, and then went to the capital to engage in activities. The next step was that the deputy provincial level could not escape.

Xia Xiang also thought Fan Ruiheng was deliberately raising him in front of everyone. As soon as he got into the car, he saw Fan Ruiheng saying with a serious look: "I just received the news that you and Fan Zheng, three articles of your childhood, were suppressed. The editor-in-chief was under pressure from the superiors and could not stand it anymore, so he had to postpone the publication."

Xia Xiang's heart sank, and the thing he was most worried about was still happening.

If he remembers correctly, next year, 2003, will be the most dazzling year for domestic political reforms. First of all, the institutional reform of the State Council is eye-catching. After Vice Premier He took over the State Council, he carried out drastic reforms on the bloated institutions of the State Council, merged many ministries and commissions, and reduced many ministers, firing the first shot since Vice Premier He took office as Prime Minister.

Unfortunately, Vice Premier He's reforms also angered many conservative forces and led to a counterattack by conservative forces. Although Premier He took charge of the State Council, the propaganda spokes were in the hands of conservatives, resulting in the fact that many State Council policies and Premier He's remarks could not be conveyed in time and were greatly restricted.

The domestic political situation has always been so complicated. Even at the highest level, they are still holding back each other and cannot show their ambitions in one's own way. It is also a helpless thing. It is precisely the strength of conservative forces that have always been restricted in foreign policy. When they are bombed, when they are occupied by embassies, when they are ravaged, when they are ravaged, when they are on their own islands to fish, they always respond with a slow response of half a beat. Finally, they are made with a painless statement.

Sometimes China is like a strong but timid big man, who doesn't scold or fight back, and is sometimes molested by others from time to time. Sometimes when forced into a hurry, he stamps his feet to indicate his height.

All reactionaries are paper tigers - in fact, the other way around, in the eyes of imperialism, the old empire has always been paper tigers.

The manuscript was detained and not posted. It is probably because the last speech incident had a great impact, which made the senior officials angry, so they would use political power to suppress the manuscripts of the three of them. Xia Xiang was a little worried. Fortunately, with the popularization of the Internet in later generations, the control of propaganda has weakened a lot, and many truths will be spread on the Internet at the first time. Although there is also the "500 Cent Party" that keeps pace with the progress, it is not self-disclaimer. After nearly ten years of online life, most netizens have the ability to judge right and wrong and true, and the Internet has become a channel for many truths to be disseminated at the first time.

Even the first and third persons in China later often went online to communicate with netizens.

Although Xia Xiang was worried, seeing Fan Ruiheng's confident look, he knew that Governor Fan probably had a countermeasure, so he asked: "Governor Fan, please tell me what to do next?"

"It is actually a good thing to have a debate in the media. Our industrial structure adjustment can be carried out without any impact." Fan Ruiheng smiled, "I suppressed your articles, and Cheng Xixue's articles have also been removed. Everything must be balanced. Not to mention that Secretary Ye and I have their own connections in the capital, even among the top leaders, Cheng Xixue will not be allowed to learn to sing a one-man show in the newspaper again..."

Could it be that the debate has come to an end?

"But you also have to be mentally prepared. Maybe when the articles learned by Cheng Xi will suddenly appear and suddenly throw out new ideas. Since the media is in the hands of others, then the initiative is in the hands of others. For us, it is a passive situation everywhere. Fortunately, there is one thing that is, the initiative in continuing to promote industrial structure adjustment in Yan Province is in our hands, and others can't take it away easily, haha."

Xia Xiang laughed too. The situation in Yan Province is that the secretary and the governor jointly support it. Someone in the senior management can't stand Yan Province anymore. It is not only too difficult to replace the secretary and governor, but it is almost feasible. After beating in the media for a while, he saw that Yan Province was unmoved and the counterattack was very strong. I guess someone was a little tired, and he didn't want to make the debate a good opportunity for Yan Province to take the opportunity to promote it. He wanted to temporarily ease the debate and wait for the next opportunity.

Xia Xiang never ended up controversially in the media. Not only did he spend his energy, but he also distracted his energy, which could easily shake Ye Shi's production. Now that he is fine, it is also a good thing to stop. Seeing that his second wave of climax is coming, he can implement his second step plan after success. As long as the second batch of pilot cities is put on the agenda, it will be a major victory.

When he was about to arrive in Yan City, Zhang Zhibin received another call. After saying only a few words, he handed the call to Fan Ruiheng. After answering the call, Fan Ruiheng's expression became solemn, and after saying only a few words, he hung up the phone.

After a moment of silence, Fan Ruiheng said, "It's very fast... I just received a call from Secretary Ye and a notice from the General Office of the State Council that Vice Premier Zhao Quanxin is coming to Yan Province for inspection."

Zhao Quanxin is a conservative in the State Council. He has always been known for opposing the reform of various provinces. He has a tough attitude and can be said to be the strongest representative of the conservatives in the State Council.

I suddenly had to inspect Yan Province during a sensitive period, but the visitors were not good!

Although Zhao Quanxin is not ranked high among the four vice premiers of the State Council, he has always been active and is famous for his outspokenness. It is said that when he inspects various places, as long as he is not in line with his wishes, whether it is the provincial party secretary or the governor, he will point out all kinds of shortcomings in person, regardless of the face of others. Compared with Vice Premier He's gentleness, he has a straightforward and stubborn temper. Therefore, although he has a lot of inspection activities, because he is not favored by secretaries and governors from all over the country, there have always been few reports from media in various places, and even the central media rarely promotes his activities.

The media does not promote it. The provinces have their own channels to know Zhao Quanxin's character and who he slapped in the face when he inspected the province. And so on, some economic provinces are dissatisfied with Zhao Quanxin and often receive him with a lower standard. Medium-sized provinces cannot take up airs and have to receive him with full standard. However, some poor provinces will feel helpless when they hear that Zhao Quanxin comes to inspect. They know that Vice Premier Zhao has always only problems and does not bring projects. But they have to endure helplessness. Who can make others the vice prime minister?

Xia Xiang knew very well that Zhao Quanxin was trying to inspect Yan Sheng at this moment. He either deliberately hit Yan Sheng or was treated as a gun by a senior executive, or he and a senior executive were originally all along.

Xia Xiang was not worried that Zhao Quanxin would be picky about the mistakes, he was worried that Ye Shisheng had soft ears.

Sure enough, Fan Ruiheng had the same thought as him. He took his eyes off the window and said, "Xiao Xia, in terms of big problems and big policies, Secretary Ye and I can just deal with it. I guess Vice Premier Zhao may propose an inspection leadership group. I believe you can also deal with it calmly. The only thing I worry about is, if Deputy Premier Zhao speaks a bit strongly, will Secretary Ye..."

Fan Ruiheng pointed to the point, but did not say it clearly.

Xia Xiang was also worried that Ye Shisheng would retreat at the last minute. After all, Cheng Xixue criticized Yan Sheng by name in the national media, which could be regarded as a controversy in the academic community. But if you face Zhao Quanxin's criticism head-on and face the denial of a deputy prime minister, it is still unknown whether Secretary Ye can withstand the pressure. Fan Ruiheng's concern is reasonable, and his question is also hinting that you should come forward and deal with it at critical moments, and don't let Ye Shisheng retreat.

As the governor, Fan Ruiheng has many things that are inconvenient to say. Even if he is kind, he may be misunderstood by Ye Shisheng. After all, as the first and second leaders of the province, there are too many overlaps in power, and it is easy to be felt that he is fighting for power.

Xia Xiang nodded quickly: "I will report to Secretary Ye in time, and now the industrial structure has been adjusted to a critical period. I believe that with Secretary Ye's political wisdom, I will not give in easily..."

Fan Ruiheng didn't express too much, but his expression was not relaxed: "I hope so."

Silence in the car for a moment.

Xia Xiang's eyes turned out the window. The early September season was the last autumn harvest scene on the northern land. The fields were busy, and farmers were harvesting peanuts and sweet potatoes. Large swaths of corn were growing well and were spending the last autumn.

Xia Xiang was a little dazed, and the pressure in all aspects was endless. He thought that Cheng Xixue would be quiet for a while after stopping the debate. Unexpectedly, Vice Premier Zhao came to inspect Yan Province again in a blink of an eye. There were disputes over interests everywhere, and no one was willing to give up the slightest benefit in his hand. Even though they had already obtained a lot, they had already plundered the hard-earned money of the people of the whole country for countless years!

Just like the farmers in China, they were first exploited by countless forces during the War of Resistance Against Japan. After liberation, they were suppressed by a non-farmer household for many years. In order to ensure the quality of life of the city people, the prices of agricultural products were forcibly lowered for decades. In fact, the so-called happy life of the city people back then was all based on the surplus value of 800 million farmers. There was nothing worthy of pride. Instead, the self-righteous city people looked down on their parents of food and clothing. If there was no selfless dedication of the vast number of farmers, where did the city people get low-priced rice and white flour? Where can they afford pure cotton clothes?

The result is often heartbreaking. People in the city do not know how to repay kindness, but look down on farmers, but do not know that without farmers' poverty, there will be no city's wealth. This is the same as the more and more public servants now look down on the people. They are originally granted by the people, but they are regarded as a means to deal with the people and act as a means to deal with the people. They are so similar to the situation where people in the city look down on farmers!

The same is true of the monopoly industry.

The natural monopoly industries include tap water, electricity, buses, tobacco, oil, natural gas, telecommunications, railway transportation, etc. The existence of these monopoly industries is inevitable because of the scale effect, external effect and entry threshold. Specifically, monopoly companies include State Electric Power Company, China Petroleum Company, Sinopec, China Offshore Oil Company, China Grain Import and Export Company, China Coal Import and Export Company, China Telecom, China Netcom, China Railway Communications, etc.

In short, in a high-sounding way, it is an industry that is related to the lifeline of the people. In the words of the people, it is an industry that can raise prices if the country says it will increase prices, and it will make you unable to turn over for ten years, and you will not turn over!

Basically, industries or enterprises that are monopolized by the state are the same as government officials, with ugly faces and difficult things to handle.

If government officials do not regard themselves as public servants, monopolize companies and consumers as parents for food and clothing, there will be increasingly serious harm, causing conflict between the two classes. After the crisis is buried, it will explode one day.

Xia Yao understood that it is undoubtedly a dream to break the monopoly with his own strength. But if his actions can bring warning to the monopoly industry, make them realize the crisis, and thus improve service and quality, it is great!

Some industries cannot break monopoly. There is only one supplier in the market that will inevitably cause problems such as low service quality, but it is difficult to solve it by introducing competition. Usually, a conspiring monopoly group is formed in the end - oligopoly. Oligopoly also has a certain competition mechanism. At present, it is considered the most reasonable mechanism, although oligopoly is also a form of monopoly.

The so-called oligopoly means that most of the market share of a certain industry is monopolized by a few large companies. The most typical and most publicly criticized is the communications field. China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom and China Netcom almost monopolize the entire communications market. The market form of oligopoly is having an important impact on China's economic marketization, and therefore has become the focus of people's increasing attention.

PetroChina and Sinopec are also oligopoly.

At this stage, China National Petroleum Corporation and Sinopec have not yet shown their hideous side. In later generations, because of the car, Xia Xiang has been concerned about how the appetites of the two companies are getting bigger and bigger, more greedy, and their methods are getting worse and worse.

In the last two years before Xia Xiang's rebirth, Sinopec's behavior had already broken its trust in the entire Chinese. It invested billions of dollars in oil fields in Africa and South America, and tens of millions of yuan to decorate its own company's large chandeliers, but it did not know how to understand the people's difficulties. When the international oil prices were at the highest in one year, the US oil price was 4 US dollars per gallon, and the Chinese oil price was 6 yuan per litre. Later, the international oil price plummeted, the US oil price was 2 US dollars per gallon, and the Chinese oil price was 6 yuan per litre.

Later, the international oil prices rose slightly, the US oil price was 2.5 US dollars per gallon, and China's oil price broke through 6 yuan in one go. What did it mean to be in line with the international market? China's oil price rose at all and did not fall. Occasionally, it fell and then quickly rose back! PetroChina stocks snatched the money of billions of Chinese people, and the oil price robbed the money of billions of Chinese people. Later, natural gas even forced the palace to raise prices. They also said that national enterprises should support them. If it weren't for monopoly operations, who would be a fool to support such a bad and greedy Chinese company!

American companies think about social responsibility, reputation and image, reward the people and continue to develop. Chinese state-owned enterprises are thinking of trying every means to grab money from the people, big brands and small brands. Later, someone from Sinopec came out to refute the rumors, actually, the big chandelier in our house did not cost 10 million yuan. You really misunderstand our state-owned enterprises that are not selfish and specialize in benefiting others. We were sad and disappointed. The chandelier is actually only worth 8 million yuan, which means that 80 Hope Primary Schools have just been built, and thousands of poor primary school students can learn to read in elementary school. In fact, it is not a big deal. Whether they can go to elementary school or not, it will not have much impact. If we don’t have chandeliers, it will seriously affect the image of our Fortune 500 companies. Which one is more important? It is understandable that kind and easy to be deceived Chinese people...

After getting off the highway, Xia Xiang took back his mind. The industrial structure adjustment in Yan Province seems to be incompatible with the oligopolies, but a spark can set off a prairie fire. He believes that success from point to surface will eventually promote the healthy development of the market economy, thereby gradually breaking various unreasonable monopolies and finding more reasonable market rules.

Vice Premier Zhao's inspection was faster than he thought.

On the third day, Vice Premier Zhao and his team came to Yan Province in a mighty manner. All the Standing Committee members of Yan Province, led by Ye Shisheng and Fan Ruiheng, came forward to welcome them. After the routine welcoming ceremony, Zhao Quanxin held a closed-door meeting with the Standing Committee members of Yan Province for several hours. Afterwards, Zhao Quanxin suddenly proposed to inspect the Yan Province Industrial Structure Adjustment Leading Group.

According to the original itinerary, there was no arrangement of the inspection leadership team. However, the superiors always had to change the itinerary because they were always interested in the incident, so Ye Shisheng had to let Ma Qiu go down and prepare immediately. Unexpectedly, Zhao Quanxin said, "It's just a casual look, and there is no need to notify you in advance..."

Ma Qiu had no choice but to stop and wait for Ye Shisheng to speak.

Ye Shisheng also knew Zhao Quanxin's intention to suddenly visit the leading group. Although Zhao Quanxin had been here for a long time and was in a closed-door meeting, he also listened to the implementation of Yan Province's industrial structure adjustment policy, but he did not express any opinions or criticized it coldly. Ye Shisheng knew Zhao Quanxin's temper, and his heart was always hanging, fearing that he would make any mistakes and blame him in person. Zhao Quanxin did not express any opinions on Yan Province's industrial structure adjustment. Is it necessary to pick the fault of the leading group?

What made Ye Shisheng even more uneasy was that Cheng Xixue actually visited with Vice Premier Zhao!

However, Ye Shisheng was not as worried as Fan Ruiheng was worried, and he would be shaken whenever there was a turmoil. He had made up his mind that even if Zhao Quanxin made any criticism, he would just accept it on the surface. As for whether he would do so, as the secretary of the provincial party committee, he still had enough autonomy.

Ye Shisheng asked Ma Qiu to retreat and personally led the way to accompany Zhao Quanxin to the leadership group.
Chapter completed!
