Chapter 2151 Add some private goods

"But I have recommended it to you several times, but you always encounter many obstacles and cannot get what you want. Have you ever thought about the reason?"

Qian Xilin said: "There is no right or wrong in the officialdom. It's just a matter of who has made better achievements. I didn't make any achievements, so I couldn't get promoted..."

Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "Let me be honest with you. Not long ago, I secretly nominated you for the position of vice governor. You should know that I am competing for the position of governor, so the resistance this time is very great. If I don't draw a clear line between us, you will definitely not get what you want."

Qian Xilin's mind moved: "You mean, you take the main position and I take the deputy position, and this is settled?"

Tang Shaoying said: "It's not stable enough now. Only after we break up publicly and I criticize you in public, your situation will be stable."

Qian Xilin thought: "Your trick is too good. After we break up, those who once hindered me will probably become my helpers, win me over, fight against you, and push me to the position of deputy governor."

At this point, he was somewhat moved: "Secretary, you really put a lot of effort into this for me."

Tang Shaoying sighed, "On the surface, we are superiors and subordinates, but in reality, we are as close as brothers. If you can become the vice governor, your say will definitely be much greater than before, and it will also be more helpful for me to strive for the position of governor."

Qian Xilin quickly promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely take your interests as my fundamental interests. Let alone the governor, even if it is a higher position, I will do my best to help you fight for it."

Tang Shaoying laughed loudly: "Next, you have to cooperate with me and act out this scene well... I didn't tell you about today's incident in advance. I wanted you to naturally express your confusion, shock, and annoyance."

Qian Xilin quickly agreed. He was really happy from the bottom of his heart because this guy had never done anything to let Tang Shaoying down. As for greed for money, that was another dimension.

Tang Shaoying sneered. It was effortless to deal with Qian Xilin, who seemed smart but was actually confused.

……

Liu Fusheng is very busy in Yanjing City. He has agreed to join the grain price stabilization working group. The materials he needs to study and the people he needs to meet are much more than when he attended the previous seminar.

The four major international grain traders purchase grain all over the world, causing grain prices to soar every day. The country has strict control over grain prices, but this year's natural disasters and poor grain harvests still caused significant fluctuations in prices.

The chain reaction brought about by this is that all prices show signs of rising.

All kinds of negative news have been spread both on the Internet and among the people. In many supermarkets, shopping malls, and grain and oil stores, people have been frantically scrambling for food.

The country urgently mobilized its grain reserves and released them into the market. On the other hand, it was also considering countermeasures to deal with overseas capital in the international market.

In the working group, the deputy leader in charge of strategy formulation is Professor Wang Weiyong of the National Economic Think Tank.

Professor Wang, a geologist, did not participate in this working group. He has a great influence in the academic community, but he is not a talent in the professional field. The previous discussion to invite him was because of his status and prestige. Now, to do professional things, we still need professionals.

Professor Wang Weiyong feels that the current situation is quite tricky.

He sighed and said to Liu Fusheng: "Overseas capital is manipulating various markets, raising food prices with ulterior motives, and creating various versions of rumors among the people, causing the people to scramble for food. We need to come up with a response plan as soon as possible, otherwise, social order will be affected."

Liu Fusheng said: "The country has already come up with a solution, right?"

Wang Weiyong said: "At present, the organization is preparing to use newspapers and television and other media to officially dispel rumors, and then use the price bureau, grain bureau and other functional departments to stabilize prices."

Liu Fusheng pondered and said, "The effect should not be significant enough, right? Most people would rather believe it than not. I decided to add two more points."

Wang Weiyong asked: "Which two points?"

Liu Fusheng said: "We can also use rumors from the public. For example, the staff of the Grain Bureau revealed that there is a lot of grain in the granary and there will be no famine. It's just that someone wanted to take the opportunity to sell the old grain and spread the lie."

Wang Weiyong nodded and said, "Using magic to defeat magic is indeed worth a try. Why didn't you mention this method during the meeting just now?"

Liu Fusheng said, "I want to give you a heads-up first and listen to your opinions before announcing it to the public... In addition to the method just mentioned, there is another point. Those illegal merchants who hoard grain and speculate on it must be publicly sanctioned. Moreover, we cannot kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and only sanction a small number of them. If we want to punish them, we must do it all across the country."

After hearing this, Wang Weiyong remained silent for a long while.

Using the state machinery to deter speculators and calm the public's emotions is a big deal. The effect of doing so will certainly be significant, but the negative impact will also be strong.

Seeing that he was silent, Liu Fusheng continued, "In troubled times, severe punishments are needed. The intervention of judicial power in the grain market is an inevitable measure at present."

Wang Weiyong said: "I am afraid that overseas public opinion will say that our country is interfering with the free market environment and infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of businessmen."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "The food war is an economic and trade war, and it is also a game between our country and international capital. Naturally, we will use whatever methods we can. We use administrative means to deal with market problems. In the short term, it will be regarded as a weak attitude by foreign capital. Not only will they not object, they will even further increase their investment... I believe that through subsequent efforts, we are at least 80% sure that the four major grain traders will lose all their money."

Liu Fusheng had made full preparations for this series of events, including letting Zhao Lin escape abroad and be controlled by Zhang Maocai, which was also a foreshadowing for these plans.

He discussed a countermeasure with Wang Weiyong, returned to his residence, and immediately called Shi Xingyu in the United States.

"Brother Shi, you have worked hard recently."

Shi Xingyu said: "Secretary Liu has joined the national grain price protection working group? You should work harder."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Let's not be polite. How is Zhao Lin doing?"

Shi Xingyu said: "We have already controlled him in a manor of Lu's Jade Industry. According to your instructions, I asked Zhao Lin to maintain the email exchanges with the four major grain merchants."

"In their emails, these grain traders asked a lot of questions about our country's grain reserve data and the country's response strategies. I asked Zhao Lin to answer them one by one, without revealing any loopholes."

Liu Fusheng said: "Thank you, Brother Shi. Recently, the four major grain merchants will definitely ask Zhao Lin some secret questions. This time, our answers will have to be a little more personal."
