Siheyuan started as an unlicensed knight and became a hero of justice

The arrangement of Wu Zhen is a headache, but the leaders above think it is best to listen to Wu Zhen's opinions first, so that they can know which position Wu Zhen is most suitable for.

So the leaders above found the chief scientist of the Science and Technology Bureau, the trade tycoon of the Trade Department, and Wu Zhen's leader of the National Security Bureau to discuss with Wu Zhen what position Wu Zhen should be assigned to.

However, the purpose was not stated directly at the beginning. We first talked about our country's import, export and diplomatic policies.

Because of Wu Zhen's contribution, a lot of my country's foreign exchange was created with the help of Wu Zhen's technology and ideas, so the trade tycoon in charge of trade wanted to bring Wu Zhen into his department.

In the eyes of the trade tycoons who are in charge of trade, no matter whether Wu Zhen is in charge of foreign trade or diplomacy, he is absolutely the best in his trade work, especially foreign trade!

Everyone is very satisfied with the current progress of my country's foreign trade. In the past, the entire country could not come up with a foreign exchange reserve of 100 million, but now it has increased more than tenfold.

At the same time, the total volume of foreign trade has increased many times, and a lot of materials and technologies urgently needed domestically have been imported, achieving great results.

In diplomacy, our country has also been very successful. We have even established diplomatic relations with the United States. Many countries have established diplomatic relations and economic and trade relations with our country.

Wu Zhen is not at all impressed by the mutual flattery of these big guys. The high growth multiples are only because the starting point is too low. It is shameless to look at the proportion instead of the total amount!

So Wu Zhen's words poured cold water on everyone's enthusiastic mood.

Wu Zhen only said one sentence:

"my country has one-fifth of the world's population. What percentage of the world's total foreign trade does it account for?"

It’s a shame to say that the total amount of foreign trade imports and exports of many small European countries is greater than that of our country.

The total import and export volume of our entire country in a year is actually less than that of Hong Kong, which is just a tiny place!

Moreover, many of our country’s imports and exports rely on transit through Hong Kong!

The bigwigs who were originally beaming with joy and complacent about their foreign trade achievements were suddenly defeated by Wu Zhen's words!

Regarding reform and opening up to the outside world, Wu Zhen said that this is definitely a good thing, but how to manage it is a big problem.

Wu Zhen also quoted a well-known saying of a great man:

When the profit reaches 10%, some people will begin to make moves; when the profit reaches 50%, some people will dare to take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they will dare to trample on all human laws; and when the profit reaches 300%, they are not even afraid of going to the gallows.

Since ancient times, there have been sayings in my country that money can make the gods work and money can make the devil work.

Because customs and foreign trade have huge profits, the profits of many imported and exported goods are more than 300%?

Faced with the huge temptation of money, how many people can resist being corrupted by money just by moral constraints?

So how to do a good job of constraint and management is a very important issue.

As for the current practice in our country, everything is decided by one or a few leaders. Using administrative power instead of laws and regulations can easily lead to problems. As long as there is a problem with the person in charge, it is basically over!

Although American imperialism is very bad, some of their management methods are still worth learning from, such as the separation of powers and checks and balances in the United States.

The so-called separation of powers means that the power of the government is divided into three independent but mutually checking branches: executive, legislative and judicial.

This principle aims to ensure that governments and individuals do not abuse their power while protecting the freedoms and rights of citizens.

The first branch is the executive power, whose duties include issuing decrees, signing bills, handling international affairs, and commanding the military.

The key feature of this branch is a single leader who is responsible for implementing government policy, but whose powers are also limited by the constitution and other laws.

The second branch is the legislative power, whose main responsibilities are to pass laws, formulate policies, and review and supervise executive power.

It is divided into two chambers, the House of Representatives and the Senate. The members of the House of Representatives are chosen by the states according to population, while the Senate is composed of two senators elected equally from each state.

This decentralized structure ensures that representatives of different regions and populations can express their opinions in the legislative process, thereby ensuring policy diversity and balance.

The third branch is the judicial power, represented by the Supreme Court and the local courts.

These courts are responsible for interpreting and reviewing laws to ensure that they are consistent with the Constitution.

The independence and authority of the judiciary ensure the fair and equal enforcement of the law.

The key to the separation of powers is the checks and balances of power. Each branch has the power to limit the abuse of power by other branches.

However, the separation of powers is not perfect. The efficiency of the government and the decision-making process are also greatly restricted, because the decentralized structure may lead to delays and uncertainties in decision-making, resulting in wrangling.

We can use stones from other mountains to polish jade. We can learn from others, take their essence and discard their dross, and embark on a path of reform and opening up that belongs to us!
