Chapter 2111 Food Problem

Among the four people, one was Wang Jian’s father, Professor Wang’s cousin, Wang Weiyong, and the other were Professor Wang’s cousins ​​Li Zhaokun and Li Zhaolin, as well as Wang Jian’s cousin Wang Heping.

These people are all social elites, especially Wang Weiyong, who is a famous economist and now works in a national think tank.

Li Zhaokun and Li Zhaolin are both agronomists and academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Wang Heping is a diplomat.

Liu Fusheng was shocked by the people in this room. He wondered what these elites could want from him.

After sitting down, Professor Wang said, "Xiao Liu, there are no outsiders here. We are anxious to see you because we talked about some things. And we happened to hear Wang Jian say that you went to the Development and Reform Commission to see him, so we asked you to come here."

Liu Fusheng understood that these academic intellectuals must have encountered some difficulties, but as he was still young, what academic problems could he solve?

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Professor Wang, I know nothing about the academic issues you are discussing."

Professor Wang shook his head and said, "The mining reform policy some time ago was proposed by you and then implemented. Now the results of the reform have proved that the idea you proposed is very good and the timing is also appropriate. If it were according to our idea, it might have been delayed for more than ten years."

Wang Heping, who was standing beside him, said hesitantly, "Economic reform and urban development can be said to be the responsibility of local governors. To put it bluntly, that is Secretary Liu's responsibility. However, what we want to discuss is the food security of the people across the country. This topic has nothing to do with Secretary Liu's expertise."

Liu Fusheng's heart moved, and then he said with a smile: "Comrade Wang, could it be that what he is talking about is the soaring prices in the international grain market and the large-scale grain production reduction in the country this year?"

Wang Heping's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He asked in surprise, "Secretary Liu also knows about this?"

Professor Wang laughed and said, "How is it? I've already told you that Xiao Liu is not a simple person."

The other few people also looked at Liu Fusheng with surprise in their eyes.

Academician Li Zhaokun looked at Wang Weiyong of the Economic Think Tank and said, "The issue of large-scale grain production reduction across the country should be discussed in a small circle among the top leaders, right?"

Wang Weiyong nodded and asked Liu Fusheng: "Secretary Liu, how did you know about this?"

Liu Fusheng smiled helplessly, then he remembered that he had let the cat out of the bag. He had just analyzed the specific events through the conversation between Professor Wang and Wang Heping - according to the time point, a famous "food war" was about to break out in the country.

The cause of the incident was that the four major foreign grain traders, under the instigation of the Americans, maliciously raised grain prices and attempted to purchase grain on a large scale through capital operations. They then took advantage of the reduction in grain production caused by natural disasters in my country this year to achieve a monopoly effect, thereby making huge profits and suppressing my country's economy.

Right now, this matter should have just shown some signs, and only a very small number of people in the country have discovered the clues, and it has not yet caused much impact.

Not to mention that Liu Fusheng is just a municipal party secretary in Guangdong Province. Even if he is a leading cadre of the same level in Yanjing City, he should not be aware of this.

Just as Liu Fusheng was thinking about how to answer the question, Wang Jian beside him suddenly laughed and said, "These things are secrets to others, but to Secretary Liu, they should not be secrets. Uncles, have you forgotten how I introduced Secretary Liu just now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly understood.

Wang Jian had obviously told these people about Liu Fusheng's connections. After all, when he went to the Development and Reform Commission to do things, he mobilized the power of the Bai family and the Yang family, and Zhang Mingliang personally found Wang Jian to help Liu Fusheng do things.

Since Liu Fusheng has good relations with all the noble families in Yanjing, it is natural for him to know some things that ordinary government officials do not know.

Liu Fusheng smiled, tacitly agreeing to this matter. If Wang Jian did not come to the rescue, and he said these words, it would be suspected of showing off his background.

Wang Heping smiled and said, "So Secretary Liu has known about this for a long time. If that's the case, you should have some opinions on this matter, right?"

Professor Wang frowned slightly, and other people also heard that when Wang Heping said the word "high theory", there was obviously a hint of sarcasm in his tone. It was obvious that even now, he did not think that Liu Fusheng, the secretary of the municipal party committee, could achieve anything in the economic field, especially when facing sudden problems such as foreign grain traders causing trouble.

This issue not only involves food monopoly, but also involves the safety bottom line of the people across the country and even diplomatic games.

Even if Liu Fusheng knew, what could he do? He would probably just say a few humble words and not say anything about Ziwumaoyou.

Only Professor Wang and Wang Jian had dealt with Liu Fusheng, and they both knew Liu Fusheng's ability to handle affairs.

Professor Wang understood that this person was definitely not an ordinary person, and he would not speak without purpose. He must have some brilliant ideas.

Wang Jian was influenced by Professor Wang and Zhang Mingliang, who often praised Liu Fusheng's ability to do things in front of him. In addition, he also witnessed how the Jiyang International Airport project was quickly approved by the Development and Reform Commission.

All of the above proves how powerful Liu Fusheng is.

So, after Wang Heping finished speaking, Professor Wang immediately said, "Xiao Liu, tell us what you think. We are just chatting. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong. I don't want to see who dares to laugh at you!"

These words were clearly spoken to Wang Heping, whose expression changed slightly. At the same time, he felt that he had indeed been rash just now.

Wang Jian also said, "Yes, Secretary Liu, we invited you here just to hear your opinion. Uncle usually praises you highly, and we also believe in your ability. Please don't hide anything from us."

Hearing this, Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Everyone is saying this, so I'll just chat for a while. If there's anything wrong, please forgive me. Just treat it as an amateur talking nonsense."

In fact, in the previous life, the country handled the food crisis very properly, and this matter will be properly resolved in the near future. Now that Liu Fusheng has expressed his views, it can only make people like Wang Heping no longer look down on him, and at the same time it can also help to build good relations with these intellectuals.

Liu Fusheng thought for a moment and organized his words. "This year, large-scale natural disasters occurred across the country, resulting in a reduction in grain production and many other problems, which had a major impact on the country's economy... We have not been a member of the WTO for too long. Now we can't simply and crudely prohibit foreign large-scale financial groups from purchasing domestic goods as we did in the past. We can't separate ourselves from the international market and decide the prices of goods on our own. Otherwise, other countries will think that we have violated the relevant regulations of the WTO and then impose various economic sanctions on us... This is both an economic issue and a diplomatic issue."
