Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 358
At nine o'clock in the morning, the military exercise officially began.

Today's weather is very good. Although the temperature is a bit low, the wind is not strong, and there is no sandstorm. The visibility is not bad.

Before the military parade, Zhang Hao delivered an impassioned speech as usual.

However, the speech this time was very long, and it took more than two hours to speak.

The speech was written by Chief of Staff Xia Congwen himself, and it contains a lot of important information. The general public may find it boring, but for the relevant stakeholders, it is completely worth deliberating.

Pearl City, Office of the Chief Executive.

Fan Zhenxiang turned off the TV casually, the consul's speech was over, and although the next military parade was more exciting, it was optional for him to watch.

"Old Liu, who do you think wrote the consul's speech?"

Lao Liu is his deputy, and the two have been working together for more than ten years, so they are regarded as their own.

"It should be Xia Congwen. Most people can't write such a meaningful speech."

Old Liu said categorically.

Fan Zhenxiang nodded: "I guess it's him too. Lao Xia has no other skills, but his pen is quite powerful, and he doesn't swear at people."

"They have no power in their hands, so they can only complain." Old Liu said disapprovingly.

"Don't underestimate our consul. Although he doesn't have much experience in politics, he has made rapid progress. You just saw that although he has only been in office for less than three months, he is already proficient in handling various daily tasks. , even the words are different.”

Fan Zhenxiang couldn't help becoming vigilant.

Lao Liu shook his head, and disagreed tomorrow morning: "He was born as a businessman and has rich experience in dealing with people and things, so of course he learns quickly, it's no big deal.

Besides, judging from his actions in the past two months, he probably has no intention of competing with us for power. I have to admire Ji Lao's vicious vision and his ability to judge people accurately. "

"It's better to be careful. Even if he doesn't want to do some things, the people below will push him forward. Aren't we often involuntary?"

Fan Zhenxiang said meaningfully.

"Old Fan, are you talking about those merchant groups? They shouldn't have this ability, right?"

Lao Liu expressed doubts.

In the past decade or so, among all classes, businessmen have suffered the most. More than [-]% of businessmen have fallen in this wave of catastrophe.

In addition, coupled with the overall rise of state-owned enterprises, the status of businessmen has encountered great challenges, and it is no longer possible for them to influence politics as openly as before.

Fan Zhenxiang's face was serious: "Don't underestimate this group of people. Since the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, although a large number of small and medium-sized merchants have gone bankrupt and suffered heavy losses, the big consortia and big chaebols have strong ability to resist risks, their foundations are still there, and their influence is absolute. Not to be underestimated.

Especially the Europeans, who made a lot of money through the oil fields in the Middle East. They have just been beaten by us, and they will definitely not give up easily. "

"I still don't think it's very likely. I have studied Zhang Hao. How can I put it this way? He has a weak personality and is not the kind of resolute person. This kind of person is actually not suitable for politics, and it is difficult for him to accomplish great things."

"Weak? If he is really weak, how could he have accumulated so much wealth?"

Fan Zhenxiang frowned.

"Maybe it's really luck! In addition, he has a unique vision and has seized several big opportunities. It can be said that the times make heroes."

"Okay, let's talk about this issue later." Fan Zhenxiang waved his hand, and then changed the subject: "Last time I asked you to investigate the feasibility of socialized parenting, did you get any results?"

Mentioning this, Lao Liu suddenly became serious:

"Old Fan, Zhang Hao's vision really lives up to his reputation. The problems he raised are indeed common and quite serious. It's time to wait."

"So, you also think that socialization must be fully promoted immediately?"

"Yes, I think it's necessary."

Old Liu nodded solemnly.

Fan Zhenxiang couldn't help lamenting: "It's really troublesome. The economic reform has just started, and there are many obstacles. Then, such a huge project will be launched. The people below will probably scold their mothers."

The implementation of "socialized parenting", the most important of which is financial and personnel investment, is definitely not so easy to solve, and hard times are coming again.

"Just scold your mother, it's better than cutting off your sons and grandchildren." Old Liu said earnestly.

"Old Liu, it's not advisable to fully implement it. The central government doesn't have the financial strength. We might as well conduct a pilot project in Zhucheng to accumulate experience. After two years of financial affluence, we can fully promote it as appropriate."

Fan Zhenxiang hesitated for a moment, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind. If the economic reform was affected because of "socialization", it would be a real disaster.

Otherwise, no matter how many people are born, they will not be able to support them.

Although Lao Liu felt a little regretful, he did not try to persuade him any more. He also knew that the central government had difficulties, and his old partner's choice could not be wrong.

Still the same sentence: involuntary.

Fan Zhenxiang raised his hand and glanced at his watch. Seeing that it was lunch time, he took the other party to the cafeteria together and used the meal time to chat again.

……

The canteen of the Executive Yuan is very large. There are several restaurants in total. Because there are too many people eating, not only the staff of various departments, but also their families, usually eat here.

Fan Zhenxiang and Lao Liu found a corner seat and sat down. Not long after they sat down, the assistant brought over the prepared meals.

"What's delicious today?"

Fan Zhenxiang took the lunch box and asked casually.

The assistant quickly replied: "The main food is potatoes, and there are two other dishes, one is stewed tofu with cabbage, the other is fried cucumber, and the soup is kelp tofu soup."

Originally, high-level officials like Fan Zhenxiang were provided with ration subsidies, but just last week, in order to express their determination to reform, the first cut of the reform was on their own people. Under his proposal, all personnel in the system were abolished ration subsidies.

Although this move is quite controversial, the effect is still good. At least it is widely praised by the people, and it can be regarded as laying a good foundation for the next economic reform.

Fan Zhenxiang nodded with a smile, and then impatiently opened the lunch box. He went out early in the morning because of an emergency, so he missed breakfast.

As he was eating, Lao Liu suddenly let out a "huh", and a dark piece of meat came out of the stewed tofu with cabbage.

"Old Liu, what do you think this is? What day is it today? There are extra meals in the cafeteria?"

Fan Zhenxiang took a closer look, and suddenly became angry, and quickly asked his assistant to call the person in charge of the cafeteria, and then pointed to the meat in his bowl and asked:

"Li Zhaopeng, explain to me, what's going on? Is it intentional, or is it accidental?"

Director Li hurriedly explained: "President, this is a rat head. It was sent by the children's welfare institution next door. After all, they are all small dolls. Eating a rat head may cause throat problems. It would be a pity to throw it away, so..."

"So you can accept it with peace of mind? I have emphasized repeatedly before, don't specialize, have you all ignored it?"

Fan Zhenxiang said angrily.

"Dean, this is indeed my fault, but listen to my explanation. A few days ago, several people fainted at work due to malnutrition. I was very worried when I saw it, so I wanted to add some Nutrition."
