the world is at stake

"How can this be okay?" The noodle shop owner didn't believe it. "Everyone is talking today, saying that there must be a big man from above to take down so many corrupt officials in such a short period of time."

Zhou Qingfeng couldn't help laughing, but he didn't comment.Flipping through other pages of the newspaper, another piece of news caught his attention even more—after issuing an additional 5000 billion yuan of national debt last year, the government will issue another [-] trillion yuan this year.

Fuck, this amount has tripled from the original history.

You must know that the present is not the year of 08 when the 'four trillion' was issued. 'At the time' the foreign exchange reserves were close to US$2000 trillion, but now the foreign exchange reserves have fallen below US$[-] billion because of the 'excessive' domestic spending on the introduction of technology and equipment.

There is an order of magnitude difference in this economic strength.

The central government's daring to issue so many treasury bonds at one go is completely determined that the economy will grow explosively in the next few years, which can completely offset the inflation caused by the "money release".

'Tie Gongji' is on the stage, and the infrastructure madman is about to exert his strength.

Others couldn't see the meaning behind the news, but Zhou Qingfeng knew that the 'party and government' person wanted to lay the foundation for economic take-off in advance.

Steel, coal, cement, electricity, water conservancy, railways, highways, ports, airports, these bulk goods and infrastructure will grow explosively.

Bill Gates said that the cement used in China in three years is equivalent to the amount used in the United States in 100 years, and this fact will come earlier.

"China Construction, Communications Construction, and China Railway Construction will expand their recruitment and purchase a large amount of building materials and equipment." Zhou Qingfeng saw a newspaper listing several major construction projects that the central government added this year.

For example, the railway from Changchun to Hunchun needs to be extended and upgraded to build a heavy-duty freight line.In addition, the reconstruction of the Tumen River waterway and the construction of Luojin Port are also impressively listed.

"The negotiations with North Korea are very fast. It seems that the second fat man has completely compromised." Zhou Qingfeng flipped the page again, and sure enough, he saw a special news report that several domestic construction groups were going to expand their scale.

The owner of the noodle shop was still excitedly talking about the sudden anti-corruption drama, but Zhou Qingfeng said to himself: "If you really want to make a fortune, you still have to study national policies."

"What?" The owner of the noodle shop didn't know why.

"A large number of unemployed people in the Northeast will be recruited by infrastructure units." Zhou Qingfeng said, "It's hard work, but at least they can support their families."

Relying on infrastructure to provide employment is the only way to deal with the economic depression.This is no better than the semiconductor industry, which will not be stuck in any necks on materials and equipment.

In addition to manpower, infrastructure construction requires heavy equipment, and the related industrial chain is also very long.As long as heavy industrial bases like the Northeast can be reborn in the anti-corruption campaign, they can still retain a lot of their essence.

"I always feel that the anti-corruption campaign is too late, and the losses have already been extremely tragic. But I am glad that it has finally started, and it can save many people and reduce future losses."

"I bet that the real estate market will also be completely liberalized. The demand for building materials, decoration, and home appliances is also creating jobs. This is part of domestic demand. The era when China can buy whatever it buys is coming."

Zhou Qingfeng continued to mutter, but the owner of the noodle shop only heard the word 'price increase' in his words, and asked in surprise, "Why the price increase? Any inside information?"

"Everything is going to go up." Zhou Qingfeng chuckled, and said to the restaurant owner: "Have you bought a house yet? If you have money, buy a house in a big city. You won't lose money."

"Buy a house? No money." The owner of the noodle shop was obviously confused by this escaping thinking, and the answer could only be to complain.

Continuing to read the newspaper, another piece of news related to North Korea is quite interesting - the largest iron and steel complex in Jilin, 'Tonghua Iron and Steel' was established five years ahead of schedule after a comprehensive restructuring.

This group was awarded a task by the central government just after its establishment, to cooperate with North Korea to develop the 'Mousan Iron Mine' 17 years in advance, and to support North Korea in building a number of iron and steel smelting enterprises.

There is no shortage of coal resources in North Korea, but they are basically steam coal for power generation and lack bituminous coal for steelmaking.The output of bituminous coal in Liaoning and Jilin is not large, but Heilongjiang has abundant reserves.

'Tonghua Iron and Steel' will invest 40 billion yuan to develop North Korea's 'Mosan Iron Mine', obtain mining rights for 50 years, and provide North Korea with smelting technology, equipment and coke.

North Korea's iron ore is the same as China's. There is no shortage of ore deposits but the grade is not high, only about 30.00%.

However, the 'Maosan Iron Mine', which has proven reserves of 30 billion tons and long-term reserves of 70 billion tons, is an exception.Its average grade exceeds 60.00% VI, and it can be developed to meet domestic demand a little.

Zhou Qingfeng laughed when he saw the news.

The owner of the noodle shop was flustered by his laughter and asked, "Xiao Zhou, what's so good about this newspaper? The news on it are all made up and have nothing to do with us ordinary people. What are you laughing at? Are you stunned?" ?”

"It doesn't matter? It matters a lot." Zhou Qingfeng still smiled, "I remember studying history back then, saying that European powers used railways to plunder the resources of underdeveloped regions and countries.

Now, we're going to North Korea to build a railway.The money for the construction of the railway is still our loan to North Korea, which will be repaid in the future.This is simply letting North Korea bring its own dog food. "

North Korea is poor now, and apart from selling minerals and leasing ports, there are no tricks to make money.If China is willing to buy its iron ore and steam coal, it is grateful to Dade.

Shanxi and other places can also dig less, and have fewer mine accidents and coal bosses.

In addition, the ultra-supercritical thermal power generation technology, which was originally broken through in 06, now seems to be completed in 02 and rolled out on a large scale.

There is a high probability that the State Grid will export a complete set of generator sets and equipment to North Korea, which is severely short of electricity, or simply export electricity directly.

There was an article by a commentator in the newspaper, imagining that in the future, China-North Korea economic and trade cooperation would bring the two sides an annual trade volume of tens of billions of dollars and solve the employment problem of 5 to [-] people.

"Underestimated, really underestimated." Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "If you really want to revitalize the Northeast, you still have to find a way to develop the economy. These literati are not imaginative enough, and the economic growth driven by the mouth of the Tumen River alone is more than that. counted."

The owner of the noodle shop is essentially a petty citizen, kind-hearted, and likes to explore some gossip about government affairs.He came to Zhou Qingfeng in the hope that the bad guys would be punished and life would be better.

But Zhou Qingfeng didn't say much, and left the small hotel that day.But before he found a new foothold, several cars stopped him who was wandering halfway.

Normal people would be terrified by this.Zhou Qingfeng's first reaction was to run a hundred meters away to see the situation.But the car that stopped him belonged to the city government.

A large group of people got out of the car, led by two secretaries, the mayor who had just airborne and the acting secretary of the municipal party committee got out of the car, and warmly thanked President Zhou for his visit to Changchun.

Reporters in the city seemed to jump out of the cracks in the ground, snapping pictures.Even the cameraman of the TV station was like a ghost, carrying equipment and appearing behind the leader, and the camera was aimed at the respected richest man.

The road was cleared and pedestrians were separated by police.Ordinary people can only stand on their feet and watch, trying to figure out what happened?

Zhou Qingfeng was forced to shake hands by two leaders, one on the left and one on the right, and quickly completed the show ceremony.The secretary of the municipal party committee stood at the side and introduced, explaining how they found this uncle by the way?

It was the bad thing about the noodle shop owner. He actually called the police. To be precise, he told his relatives at the police station that he knew where the people from the Central Inspection Team were?

The little policeman at the police station was both surprised and delighted, thinking that there were still such big fish appearing, they quietly ran to the small hotel where Zhou Qingfeng was staying to check, was startled, and hurriedly reported to the Municipal Bureau.

It's too scary, this is not a big fish, it's a predator!

The director of the city bureau is also a newcomer. Seeing Zhou Qingfeng's name and his registered ID number, he checked inside the police by the way, and happily shouted "God help me too" three times.

This credit is like picking it up for nothing.

The Municipal Bureau reports to the city leaders.

The top leaders of the party and the government attached great importance to it, and personally went to the small hotel to investigate, and finally confirmed that the so-called "undercover reporter" who had stayed in Changchun for more than half a month was the richest man in Asia with a net worth of US$400 billion.

The mayor happily shook the hand of the owner of the noodle shop, almost breaking his wrist, and thanked him for his contribution to the people of Changchun.

The secretary of the municipal party committee clutched his chest, almost having a heart attack on the spot when he was so excited—the former leadership team in the city was taken over in one pot, and everything was terrible.

After the well-known North Korean coup, the whole country now understands that President Zhou has a close relationship with the 'Party and Government', as close as a family.

The president of 'Holy Light' actually came to investigate at this point in time, he must have made a big move.

Only the noodle shop owner was the most dumbfounded.

"What... isn't it an unannounced reporter?"

"President? That young man is the president? Such a young president."

"What... the richest man in Asia? No way... Can the richest man come to eat at my little fly restaurant?"

"400 billion... US dollars? God, can't you be joking? How can he be so rich? Is it from corruption? Is it a princeling? I thought he was a good guy, but he turned out to be a bad guy."

Chapter 65 Secretary Xiao

The leaders of the city invited the president to stay at the guest house of the municipal party committee.They pat their chests and must entertain them well, and they will definitely feel at home.

Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "I know what you want, but I don't like to sit and talk in the conference hall." He pointed to the policemen who blocked the road on the street and the ordinary people watching the excitement outside, "You are too far away from the people. Far."

The mayor and secretary suddenly looked ugly.

The secretary stood up from the side to give the steps, and smiled at Zhou Qingfeng: "This is mainly to consider the safety of the leader."

Zhou Qingfeng glanced sideways, "What outrageous thing did your family's leader do, or something devoid of conscience, to be so worried about his own safety? Do the common people want to kill them to sacrifice to heaven?"

The faces of the two leaders were about to turn purple.They came here excitedly, never thinking that Zhou Qingfeng would not give face, but felt that they were condescending and surrendering like "three visits to the thatched cottage", which is very face-saving.

I didn't expect to have a bad nose when we met.

"Think about how the former leadership team got in, please do some personnel work." Zhou Qingfeng said: "You usually sit in the office, where the wind and rain cannot blow, and even if you come out to investigate, it is arranged by the people below. of.

Is it interesting to live in deception and delusion?If you really want to talk about something, just talk about it on this street.Only by smelling the fireworks in the market can we talk about some effect. "

Knowing that Zhou Qingfeng is so difficult to deal with, the newly appointed mayor and secretary would never come to this show.

But now that the situation is imminent, they can only bite the bullet, and the two of them turned their heads and ordered a few times to ask the road blocking and vigilant police to withdraw, at least to save face - stay away, stay away.

The secretary next to him was even more winking, and continued to send steps to ease the atmosphere, and said: "President Zhou is extremely talented in business management, which is recognized worldwide. You have been in our city for half a month, do you have any advice?"

The level of flattery is not ordinary, but Uncle Zhou has a ghostly business talent.Let him operate and guarantee to lose 400 billion U.S. dollars in three years, only spending money and not making money.

The ghost knows how 'Holy Light' has more and more money, and others find it inconceivable, but Zhou Qingfeng knows that the secret of his fortune is all through murder and robbery.

Could it be that I tell people that I am only good at wielding an iron hammer.

"I came to Changchun for no purpose, in fact, just to wander around. Because there was a big mess in North Korea not long ago, and the 'party and government' guy won't allow me to mess around again."

Zhou Qingfeng also sighed, looking lonely.

Others looked at it, but looked up at the mountain, admiring it.The two city leaders also became more sober, and realized that the man in front of him had great hands and eyes, and his background was extremely deep, so he couldn't be guessed according to common sense.

Zhou Qingfeng continued: "If you come to me because you want 'Shengguang' to invest, then you will be disappointed. Now that you can't invest in Shanhaiguan, 'Shengguang' will not waste time in places that are destined to lose money."

Oops, the previous sentence still contains the gossip of the imperial capital, which tickles people's itch.But the latter sentence was a heavy blow, which stunned the mayor, the secretary, and the accompanying bureaucrats.

The reporter and cameraman next to him were all filming, clearly recording this sentence.

"After half a month of observation, I found that everything in the Northeast has to go through the back door and respect human relations. This sounds good, but in fact it is the root of corruption in the government, blocking the normal way of doing things.

In the Northeast, there are often grandparents, grandparents, sons, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, grandchildren, and grandchildren who live in several units in the same area. Inbreeding is practiced in power, and corruption has become familyized.

Different families marry each other again, and local affairs cannot avoid these people.They are like the gentry in the old society, manipulating power and obstructing the upper hand.

As a result, its power is deeply intertwined, and its tail is too big to lose. It has become an umbrella of evil within the government, and it has become a school lord in scientific research institutions and colleges, and in the military...not to mention.

For ordinary people, it is the only choice to work within the system and keep income from droughts and floods.Because of a small business, I was inspected by the industrial and commercial tax every day, and I was laid off when the company went bankrupt as a worker. The only way to be stable is to eat financially.

After all, civil servants will not be laid off. "

When Zhou Qingfeng said this, he turned his head and asked, "Can civil servants be laid off? Can government officials be held accountable? Can the establishment of iron rice bowls in enterprises and institutions be smashed?"

The mayor and secretary were completely speechless.

The secretary next to him was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak casually, for fear of saying the wrong thing and causing a catastrophe.Many other bureaucrats who followed stared at Zhou Qingfeng with surprised and annoyed expressions, as if they had encountered a deadly enemy.

Zhou Qingfeng glanced contemptuously, no one dared to look at him.He continued: "Usually when local gangsters are too powerful, the superiors often mobilize armed police from other places to attack suddenly. The reason is that they don't trust local officials.

This is the case now.

I can clearly tell you that the 'party and government' know that the grassroots management is already rotten, and the anti-corruption will be institutionalized and long-term.

The central inspection team came, and finally swept the original local snakes.Everyone is traveling lightly, can you also scan the middle and low-level bureaucrats?

If one inspection is not enough, then it will be twice, and if two times is not enough, it will be three times.

Can eating and drinking with public funds be solved?Can playing white bars solve it?Can rent-seeking of power be resolved?Can institutional bloat be resolved?Can the low efficiency of work be solved?

I hope that in two or three years, instead of writing a letter of repentance in prison, you will be commended and reused by your superiors because of your efforts to rectify the local political environment and your outstanding work achievements.

Of course, I know that's unlikely. "

The faces of the bureaucrats were said to turn green and white, and many of them had unclean buttocks. It was impossible to do what Zhou Qingfeng said—there was a long way to go in fighting corruption, and major breakthroughs could not be achieved by just saying a few words.

Zhou Qingfeng doesn't expect these vested interests to kill themselves, they will definitely go to prison one after another.But as soon as this long speech was finished, there was continuous applause on the street.

The blockade protecting the leaders was lifted, and the people nearby saw a group of high-ranking officials walking on the street, watching from a distance of seven or eight meters.Unexpectedly, when they heard Zhou Qingfeng reprimanding the chaos in the officialdom, everyone couldn't help clapping their hands and applauding.

It's just that the louder the applause, the less favorable the bureaucrat's face.

The secretary of the municipal party committee was acting as the deputy secretary's temporary agent. He was too angry to attack on the spot, so he turned around and grabbed a random official to greet Zhou Qingfeng.

The mayor was airborne from the imperial capital, so he has nothing to do with the local forces at present.He smiled bitterly at Zhou Qingfeng: "President Zhou, you have a lot of misunderstandings about our work, things are not that easy."

Zhou Qingfeng nodded in agreement.

Work is all about knocking people's skulls. It's nothing more than Zhou Qingfeng hitting with an iron hammer, and the mayor wants to hit with a seal.

But power struggles also compete with each other's ebb and flow.Even if an airborne mayor is innocent, he is easily hunted by corrupt people with money and women, and in the end he can't extricate himself and joins the gang.

"If the 'busy' secretary just now is a difficulty for you to carry out your work, I can help you solve it." Zhou Qingfeng said.

Ah... The airborne mayor was stunned for a second or two, his heart tightened, and he looked around.He couldn't help crying secretly, the bureaucrats accompanying him were not his.

How can you say this in person?If the news gets out, it is easy to 'intensify conflicts with local comrades, which is not conducive to carrying out work'.

"But I can only help once, you think about it." Zhou Qingfeng stared at the airborne mayor, and asked in a pressing tone: "Do you need it?"

The accompanying local bureaucrats stared even wider, looking at both Zhou Qingfeng and the new mayor.An inexplicably tense atmosphere is rapidly forming, and a simple decision will determine life and death.

Zhou Qingfeng is not stingy, and he is not afraid of anyone.

The mayor who came by air had to consider his own gains and losses.The imperial capital's arrangement for him to come to Changchun naturally recognized his previous work, and arranged important tasks for him to open up the situation.

But right now the local forces can't get in, and the water can't get in.The mayor of the district has no human rights, and he does not account for the majority at the municipal party committee meetings.If you don't want to offend others, it's better to refuse Zhou Qingfeng's help.

Opportunities are always there, but whether you have the courage to take the pressure to grasp it is another matter.

There are hundreds of pairs of eyes watching and at least a dozen pairs of ears listening on this street, especially when the secretary left and left the secretary staring.The airborne mayor played fiercely in his mind for half a minute, and finally said in a deep voice: "How can President Zhou help me?"
