Outside the Führer's Capital, West Garden......

After getting out of the car, Pang Xinglong quickened his pace. The Führer's decision to schedule the State Work Report for Saturday evening came as a surprise to the Deputy Prime Minister of the State Council of the Republic in charge of economic work. For three years, with the exception of visits abroad and participation in international conferences, as well as a few unexpected events, the head of state has never dealt with government affairs on Saturday nights.

Could it be that there is any unexpected event today?

Pang Xinglong was a little puzzled. The State Work Report is just a very ordinary thing, usually scheduled for Sunday evening. In this way, you can not only summarize the work of the previous week, but also arrange the work content of the next week.

For Pang Xinglong, who is only 48 years old, since the prime minister was hospitalized last month after illness and he was in charge of the state affairs report, he will prepare the general content of the report every Saturday, and will not wait until Sunday to prepare during the day. In this way, it is possible to make a good impression on the Führer.

I have to say that Pang Xinglong is indeed very good at dealing with people.

The prime minister's health has not been very good, and he will work for another two years at most. In two years, the State Council will be replaced, and the head of state will choose a new "big butler". There are only a few people who are qualified to serve as premiers of the State Council, namely the four vice premiers, the chairmen of the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and a few local leaders with outstanding performance.

Pang Xinglong, who graduated from the School of Economics of the National People's University, is not outstanding among these people, but he is the only one who studied economics. The current international economic situation is very bad, and it will not be much better in the next few years. The republic needs a "great steward" who understands economics and has a lot of work experience. Pang Xinglong has this advantage, but if he wants to stand out, he has to continue to work hard, at least let the Führer know that he is a very diligent and hard-working person.

As soon as Pang Xinglong entered the West Garden, Wang Yuanqing greeted him. "Vice Premier Pang, you're so early."

"Xiao Wang, have you been waiting for a while?"

"No, I just came over."

"What about the Führer?"

"I'm going to watch the game in the study." Wang Yuanqing smiled politely. "Today is the season final. The Führer didn't eat dinner. I stayed by the TV. It's not. Let me prepare some snacks. ”

"This ......," Pang Xinglong immediately showed an embarrassed look. I'll go to the parlor and wait a minute. ”

"It's fine. I'll tell the Führer later. You go to the parlor and sit down for a while. I had the tea brought over. ”

"No hassle. I'll just take care of myself. ”

"Then I won't send you there. Otherwise, the Führer will say that I am procrastinating. ”

Bidding farewell to Wang Yuanqing, Pang Xinglong went to the living room on the left.

In the study, the live broadcast of the basketball game was being broadcast on the TV, but Ji Youguo did not watch the basketball game, but was having a secret conversation with General Peng Maobang.

"The ship has entered the East China Sea, and I have arranged for warships and fighters to escort the ship, and we will be able to arrive at the port of Shanghai early tomorrow morning."

"Is the port response work arranged?"

"It's all deployed, and the personnel I arranged are in the port right now. As soon as the goods arrive, they are transferred immediately. ”

"Don't ignore the potential dangers in the country." Ji Youguo habitually touched his chin. "Arrange a few more transportation routes, and all aspects of safety and security work must be prepared in place, and everything must be ensured."

"Don't worry, I arranged an escort exercise for key personnel, mobilized all the special forces directly under the General Staff Department, and organized seven escort teams, each with more than 100 escorts. In addition, the transfer stations on the various transport routes are also monitored and controlled. I also contacted the NSA and asked them to closely monitor the enemy's spy network in the country. ”

Ji Youguo nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and asked, "So, there will be results in two to three days?" ”

"Three days at most, two and a half days if you're fast."

"That's good." Ji Youguo touched his chin again. "That's all for today. Now that we have reached the final stage, we must not capsize in the gutter, you have to personally command and monitor in real time. As soon as the goods arrived at their destination, they carried out a preliminary inspection, drew conclusions, and immediately reported the situation to me. ”

"No problem, I'll take my leave first."

After General Peng Maobang left, Wang Yuanqing entered the study.

"Chief, this is a freshly made snack. In addition, Vice Premier Pang Xinglong arrived. ”

"Arrived?" Ji Youguo's gaze left the TV screen, "When did you arrive, why didn't you come and tell me earlier?" ”

"Shortly after arriving, I arranged for him to go to the living room."

"Go and ask him over. Also, you stay later. ”

Putting down the snack plate, Wang Yuanqing went to the living room to call Pang Xinglong over.

The State Affairs Report deals with some complicated and small matters, and the real major events will be discussed at a higher level. Of course, the ability to deal with small things can really test a government's administrative ability. It's like everyone can understand the big truth, but it's hard to be perfect in the small details.

More than two hours passed quickly, and the report entered the final and most critical part: the domestic and international economic situation.

This is a part that Pang Xinglong deliberately emphasized, after all, he is the vice premier in charge of the economy, and he is the most proficient in economic issues. In addition, the current situation requires the Government of the Republic to attach great importance to domestic and international economic issues.

"Several economic policies adopted in the early stage have achieved initial results, but the effect is not obvious, and it is necessary to continue to increase regulation and control." After a slight pause, Pang Xinglong shifted the conversation to the international economy. "The international economic environment is also improving, but it is not obvious, and there are many suspicious signs of recovery. When we adjust the structure of the domestic economy, we need to pay close attention to the trend of the international economy and be prepared for sudden changes that may occur. ”

Ji Youguo habitually touched his chin and thought for a while, and then asked, "What I am more concerned about now." If the economic situation improves, can we recover faster? Conversely, how much will we be affected if the economic form deteriorates, and how much other countries will be affected. ”

"This ......" Pang Xinglong seemed a little ill-prepared and did not immediately answer the questions raised by the Führer.

"Don't worry, I'm just asking. Although this issue is not in this State Work Report, I think that as an economist, you should be well aware of the current economic situation and the future direction, right? ”

"Führer, I have also been thinking about the question you raised." Seemingly encouraged, Pang Xinglong no longer hesitated and said, "There is no doubt that if the international economic situation improves, exports will recover first, and our economic recovery speed will also increase." However, in the long run, we cannot pin the driving force of economic development on exports, but must expand the domestic market and increase domestic consumption capacity. If the international economic situation continues to deteriorate, we must continue to increase investment to stabilize the domestic economic environment. It's just that now it seems that the international economy has bottomed out and will not deteriorate in the short term. As for the impact on countries, although the United States is the epicenter of this crisis, its ability to recover far exceeds that of other countries, and it will be immediately manifested as soon as the situation improves. In addition, the U.S. government's bailout measures are also very strong, which can be of great help to later development. The situation in Europe is more complicated and will not precede the recovery in the United States. The most affected is Japan. Before the crisis, Japan's economy had improved slightly, but all the gains that had been accumulated were wiped out during the crisis. If the situation deteriorates again, Japan will bear the brunt of the disaster first. ”

After listening to Pang Xinglong's "improvised" analysis, Ji Youguo pondered again.

At this time, Wang Yuanqing glanced at Pang Xinglong.

Pang Xinglong is not an uninteresting lord, it is almost twelve o'clock, and the head of state is also resting. He immediately got up and said: "Führer, if nothing else, I will take my leave first"

"Oh, well, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early." After coming back to his senses suddenly, Ji Youguo said to Wang Yuanqing again, "Xiao Wang, send Premier Pang out, and then come over and pack up your things." ”

Seeing Pang Xinglong away, Wang Yuanqing immediately rushed back.

"Chief, Vice Premier Pang is really powerful, he is from an economic background, but it is different." When cleaning up the pastries and tea, Wang Yuanqing and Ji Youguo chatted casually.

"Not bad?" Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said, "Pang Xinglong didn't get to the point at all. What is the core of the economy? It is to let consumers, that is, the common people, have money to use and dare to use money, so that the products produced by the factory can be sold in China, instead of being exchanged for some fancy tickets. What is at the heart of the economic crisis? It is the overcapacity of the world, the products produced by the factories cannot be sold, the wages cannot be paid, and the workers have no money to buy the products, causing a vicious circle. These two issues may seem unrelated, but they actually have one thing in common: a small number of people have too much wealth, which becomes a number on the account rather than the purchasing power that flows through the market. Most of the people who need to buy goods do not have enough wealth in their hands to afford to buy goods in the market. ”

Wang Yuanqing put down the rag in his hand and looked at the Führer in disbelief. In his understanding, the Führer has always been not very good at economic issues, but he has said such a profound truth.

"If you spread the problem out, I can talk to you for three days and three nights." Ji Youguo smiled and said, "I see, this crisis is far from over, at most it is only a temporary silence. When the contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, there will be an even more violent outbreak, and then the countries that are not fully prepared will be in bad luck. ”

"Führer, we can't sit idly by."

"Of course. Now all countries are like reindeer in a harsh winter blizzard, and whoever can survive until the end will see the spring when the sun is shining and everything is recovering. Ji Youguo stood up and yawned. It's not too early, and after cleaning up, you can go home and sleep. In addition, remember to ask Foreign Minister Huang Guowei to come and see me tomorrow six and a half days ago, because I have important matters to discuss with him. ”

Looking at the back of the Führer leaving, Wang Yuanqing let out a long sigh.

He admired the Führer's wisdom and worried about the Führer's body. In the past three years, and especially in the past year or so, the Führer has been much older than before
