Yanei of Rebirth

Liu Jun was not idle, neither were Liu Jincai and Guo Qiliang.

While holding the National People's Congress, we urgently deployed measures to deal with the financial crisis.

It was nine o'clock in the evening, and the small meeting room next to the Prime Minister's office was still brightly lit and full of guests.Counting carefully, this office has concentrated the most elite figures of the current economic management team of the Republic.

This meeting was held by Liu Jincai. It was not accurate to say that it was a meeting. The form was more like the private party held by Liu Jun and the others last night, but the venue was changed from the Qiushui Hotel to the meeting room of the Prime Minister's Office.

The layout of this conference room is relatively "classic". It is not the conference room style that can be seen everywhere nowadays, but still retains the style of the 60s and [-]s. There is no conference table, but a circle of wooden sofas, and the participants sit in groups. [

The middle position must be Liu Jincai.

Jiang Xiangjie, member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo and vice premier of the State Council, sat on the left of Liu Jincai, and Guo Qiliang, member of the Politburo and vice premier of the State Council, sat on his right.

In addition to these two, Liu Jun, an alternate member of the Politburo and Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, sat under Jiang Xiangjie.

Liu Bin, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Li Shaojie, governor of the central bank, Qi Kai, chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, Zhang Yongzhi, director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and Yue Shuhong, chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, were all present.

Looking at this posture, it is a small top financial meeting.

Because of Liu Jun's participation in the meeting, the meeting became "private".It is estimated that this was also during the two sessions, and Secretary Liu happened to be in the capital, so it was considered to be the right time for the meeting.At the Politburo meeting, everyone knew the plan Liu Jun made to deal with the financial crisis. No one thought Liu Jun appeared at this meeting.

It is very normal for the highest financial conference to invite the secretary of the provincial party committee of the country's largest economic province to attend the meeting.

Liu Jincai's eyes slowly swept across everyone's faces, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm sorry to invite you here so late..."

Everyone had smiles on their faces.It is a pure symposium, and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed.Liu Jincai's rigorous requirements for work are mainly reflected in formal meetings.

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that US Treasury Secretary Martin is going to visit our country in April this year. So please come over and discuss how to deal with this matter."

Liu Jincai said quietly.

Everyone's complexions became serious again unconsciously.

Everyone present is very clear about the purpose and reason of Martin's visit this time.

After the resolution was made at the Politburo meeting at the end of last year, my country immediately took corresponding measures to gradually withdraw from foreign financial markets and recover funds step by step.It’s just that the amount of money we have invested in foreign financial and bond markets over the years is too large. Although it is a planned sell-off, it has already attracted widespread attention in the United States and European countries.

It is completely impossible for such a national or even global top-down move to be kept secret.European and American countries should have a better understanding of our coping strategies.

In other words, they can see the action of us drawing our swords!

This made the United States very alert and held several meetings in a row to discuss countermeasures.Martin's trip is related to this matter.

Guo Qiliang said calmly: "I think they are in a hurry and want to ask us for a promise."

What Guo Qiliang said was very straightforward, but it hit the point. [

Liu Jun smiled slightly, and said, "Exactly. Looking at the US government's way of dealing with the economic crisis, it is to pass on the disaster. They have used this trick many times, and it works every time. This time, they may smell danger. .”

Since it is a symposium, the rules are not so strict, and it is not necessary to follow the order of speaking.

Liu Jincai frowned slightly, and said, "It works every time, but it may not work this time."

The Prime Minister's words immediately lifted everyone's spirits.Undoubtedly, Liu Jincai has made up his mind to seek the greatest national interests in this impending crisis.

"Comrade Xiang Jie, what do you think?"

Liu Jincai turned to Jiang Xiangjie.

Jiang Xiangjie nodded and said, "During this time, I have communicated with Comrade Qiliang and other comrades, and prepared a preliminary plan. I will inform the comrades and ask the Prime Minister for instructions!"

Liu Jincai nodded slightly, and said, "Comrade Xiang Jie, please tell me."

Jiang Xiangjie didn't take the information either, so he straightened up a bit and said, "The first step is what we are already doing, divestment! We gradually cash out our investments in overseas financial markets and bond markets and withdraw them to China. Currently we are The total amount of investment in financial markets and bond markets in various places is about . . . ”

Jiang Xiangjie said a data, which is very huge, accounting for almost half of our total foreign exchange reserves.

The treasury bonds and other securities issued by the United States amount to trillions of dollars, of which 80.00% are purchased by the American people, and 20.00% are in the hands of other countries.Among them, my country is one of the major bond buying countries.In addition, Russia and Japan also purchased more bonds.

Jiang Xiangjie's plan is to sell about one-third of the bonds within the next six months.The retained bonds are mainly US treasury bonds and derivative bonds issued by the two companies.The two companies are guaranteed by the U.S. government. In a sense, the U.S. government provides indirect guarantees for the derivative bonds issued by the two companies.

Hearing this, Liu Jun frowned slightly.

The second step of Jiang Xiangjie's plan is to immediately establish a financial firewall.In the next six months, the central bank and the China Banking Regulatory Commission will send inspection teams to all large financial institutions to conduct all-round monitoring.Institutions above provincial branches of commercial banks in all countries must have inspection teams stationed there.The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will also implement such a plan, sending inspection teams to key state-owned enterprises.Ensure that these financial institutions and key central enterprises implement the deployment of the State Council and gradually withdraw funds.

It should be said that this step is very practical and very necessary.

Due to various reasons, the loss of state-owned assets has become more serious in recent years. Some people, especially those with real power in financial institutions and state-owned enterprises, have "transported" state-owned assets abroad through various financial channels in the name of investment for their own selfish desires, and then through certain A method of financial operation that takes these assets for itself.

If the plan of this inspection team can be effectively implemented, there is no doubt that these black hands will be cut off to ensure the safety of the financial system.

The implementation of these two steps is to recover our funds in foreign virtual asset investment fields.But with such a huge amount of money, it is impossible to hold it in your hands and not work.

Therefore, the third step of Jiang Xiangjie's plan is to switch from investing in virtual assets to investing in real assets.

In view of the fact that my country's export-oriented economy has been formed, even if products are transformed to domestic demand, the dependence on foreign resources and energy is difficult to change in the short term.The supply of resources and energy is the fundamental guarantee for future national economic security.

Jiang Xiangjie first set his sights on Central Asia.Central Asia is a powerhouse of resources and energy.From the perspective of the international situation, because of the Iraq war, the United States is now deeply trapped in the Middle East, unable to extricate itself, and Europe is beyond reach. Russia is also deeply afraid of this because of its own problems and the ethnic problems in Central Asia, thus creating a hollow power in Central Asia. Phenomenon.

Jiang Xiangjie believes that my country should focus on managing Central Asia in the next step.If successful penetration is possible, the benefits are obvious.Not only can we obtain the energy supply in Central Asia, but we can also break the strategic blockade imposed on us by Western countries. [

In addition to Central Asia, Jiang Xiangjie believes that the new trend of recycling funds can also focus on potential foreign companies.Of course, this is difficult to implement.European and American countries are very vigilant about this, especially financial institutions and strategic industries, which have very strict restrictions on the entry of foreign capital.

However, difficulty does not mean that it is completely unfeasible, there are always opportunities.

The fourth point of Jiang Xiangjie's speech is similar to the support for export-oriented enterprises that Liu Jun and Gong Zhaoli talked about yesterday.

At this stage, these export-oriented enterprises are still very important to us. It is necessary to support these enterprises and help them tide over difficulties from the perspective of solving employment problems or social stability.

The plan proposed by Jiang Xiangjie is also to select some enterprises with good potential and consistent performance, and directly use foreign exchange subsidies to purchase products and resell them in the domestic market to drive the growth of domestic demand.

To achieve this, Jiang Xiangjie pointed out that the abnormal development of the real estate market and the stock market must be further restrained.Only by avoiding large amounts of capital flowing into these two markets can the losses of the domestic people be minimized when a crisis breaks out.

At the same time, the speculative nature of the real estate market and the stock market has weakened, which can also promote the diversion of funds to support the real industry.

These measures are all necessary, and the participants listened intently.But the next step Jiang Xiangjie proposed still surprised everyone.

Jiang Xiangjie proposed to change the foreign trade system and set price limits.It is necessary to set price upper and lower limits for bulk foreign trade products, strategic resource products, and products that affect national economic security.Collusion between inside and outside is strictly prohibited to lower export prices and raise import prices in a disguised form.In particular, price plundering in disguised form in financial transactions must be strictly dealt with.

This is very reasonable. To everyone's surprise, Jiang Xiangjie proposed to gradually use Chinese currency for settlement in some foreign trade fields instead of US dollars.

In fact, one of the keys to the US’s global hegemony in the economic field is the hegemony of the US dollar.Mandatory use of U.S. dollars for settlement puts the national currency in a completely passive and weak position.

It will be a major change if the domestic currency can be used for settlement in some fields, such as the export field.But this will lead to a decline in foreign exchange reserves, which is a problem that many people are worried about.

Jiang Xiangjie's proposal of this step is really very courageous.
