The Head of State, outside Xipu Garden...

After getting off the bus, Pang Xinglong accelerated his pace. The head of state work report was arranged on Saturday night, which surprised the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic's State Council, who was in charge of economic work. In the past three years, except for visits abroad and attending international conferences, as well as several emergencies, the head of state never handled government affairs on Saturday night.

Could it be that there was any emergency today?

Pang Xinglong was a little confused. The State Work Report is just a very ordinary thing and is usually arranged on Sunday nights. This can not only summarize the work situation of the previous week, but also arrange the work content of the next week.

For Pang Xinglong, who is only 48 years old, since the Prime Minister was hospitalized last month and he was responsible for the State Work Report, he would prepare the general content of the report every Saturday and would not wait until Sunday to prepare during the day. In this way, he could leave a good impression on the head of state.

I have to say that Pang Xinglong is indeed very good at dealing with people and things.

The Prime Minister's physical condition has not been very good, and he will work for two years at most. Two years later, the State Council will change its term, and the head of state will select a new "big housekeeper". There are only a few people who are qualified to serve as Premier of the State Council, namely four vice premiers, chairman of the National People's Congress and the CPPCC, and several local leaders with outstanding performance.

Pang Xinglong, who graduated from the School of Economics of Renmin University, is not outstanding among these people, but he is the only one who studied economics. The international economic situation is very bad now and it will not be much better in the next few years. The Republic needs a "big housekeeper" who understands the economy and has rich work experience. Pang Xinglong has this advantage, but if he wants to stand out, he has to continue to work hard, at least he must let the head of state know that he is a very diligent and hardworking person.

As soon as Pang Xinglong entered Xipu Garden, Wang Yuanqing came up. "Vice Premier Pang, you came so early."

"Xiao Wang, have you waited for a while?"

"No, I just came here."

"Where is the head of state?"

"Watch the game in the study." Wang Yuanqing smiled politely. "Today is the season finals. The head of state didn't even eat dinner. He kept by the TV. Why don't I prepare some snacks?"

"This..." Pang Xinglong immediately showed an awkward look. "I'll go to the living room to wait for a while."

"Okay. I'll go and tell the head of state later. You can go to the living room for a while. I'll have someone send the tea."

"No need to worry. I can take care of myself."

"Then I won't send you there anymore. Otherwise, the head of state will say that I will be delayed in doing things."

After saying goodbye to Wang Yuanqing, Pang Xinglong went to the living room on the left.

In the study, the live broadcast of the basketball game was being played on the TV, but Ji Youguo did not watch the basketball game, but was having a secret talk with General Peng Maobang.

"The ship has entered the East China Sea. I arranged for warships and fighter planes to escort them. I will arrive at Shanghai Port early tomorrow morning."

“Have the port’s reception work been arranged properly?”

"All of them have been deployed, and the personnel I arranged are now in the port. When the goods arrive, they will be transferred immediately."

"Don't ignore the potential dangers in the country." Ji Youguo touched his chin habitually. "Arranging more transportation routes, and all aspects of security and security work must be prepared in place, and it must be sure that there is no accident."

"Don't worry, I arranged an escort exercise for key personnel, mobilized all the special forces of the General Staff directly under the General Staff, organized seven escort teams, each with more than 100 escort personnel. In addition, the transit stations on each transportation route are also under surveillance and control. I also contacted the National Security Bureau to let them closely monitor the enemy country's intelligence network in the country."

Ji Youguo nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and asked, "So, there will be a result within two to three days?"

"At most three days, if it's fast, two and a half days."

"That's good." Ji Youguo touched his chin again. "Let's talk about this today. Now it has reached the final stage. You must not capsize in the gutter. You must personally direct and monitor it in real time. After the goods arrive at the destination, conduct preliminary inspections immediately, draw conclusions, and report to me immediately."

"No problem, I'll say goodbye first."

After General Peng Maobang left, Wang Yuanqing entered the study.

"Chief, this is a freshly prepared snack. In addition, Vice Premier Pang Xinglong has arrived."

"Arrival?" Ji Youguo's eyes left the TV screen, "When did it arrive, why didn't you come and tell me earlier?"

"I just arrived shortly after I arranged for him to go to the living room."

"Go and invite him over. In addition, you will stay here."

After putting down the plate of snacks, Wang Yuanqing went to the living room to call Pang Xinglong over.

The State Work Report involves some complicated small things, and real major events will be discussed at more advanced meetings. Of course, the ability to handle small things can truly test the administrative ability of a government. This is just like everyone can understand the big truth but it is difficult to achieve perfection in small details.

More than two hours passed quickly, and the report reached the end, the most critical part: domestic and international economic situation.

This is part that Pang Xinglong specifically emphasized. After all, he is the vice prime minister in charge of the economy and is most proficient in economic issues. In addition, the current situation also requires the Republican government to attach great importance to domestic and international economic issues.

"The several economic policies adopted in the early stage have begun to show results, but the effect is not obvious, so we need to continue to increase regulation." After a brief pause, Pang Xinglong shifted the topic to the international economy. "The international economic environment is also improving, but it is not very obvious, and there are many suspicious signs of recovery. When adjusting the domestic economic operation structure, we need to focus on the trend of the international economy and prepare for possible sudden changes."

Ji Youguo habitually touched his chin and thought for a while, then asked: "What I am more concerned about now is whether our recovery speed can be improved if the economic situation improves. On the contrary, if the economic form deteriorates, how much impact we will be, and how much impact other countries will be."

"This..." Pang Xinglong seemed a little inadequate and did not immediately answer the questions raised by the head of state.

"Don't worry, I'm just asking casually. Although this question is not in this State Work Report, I think, as an economist, you should be very clear about the current economic situation and the future direction, right?"

"Head of the People's Republic of China, I have been considering the questions you raised." As if encouraged, Pang Xinglong no longer hesitated and said, "There is no doubt that if the international economic situation improves, exports will first recover, and our economic recovery speed will also increase accordingly. But in the long run, we cannot place the driving force of economic development on exports. We must expand the domestic market and improve domestic consumption capacity. If the international economic situation continues to deteriorate, we must continue to increase investment and stabilize the domestic economic environment. But now it seems that the international economy has bottomed out and will not deteriorate in the short term. As for the right

The impact caused by various countries, although the United States is the outbreak of this crisis, the United States' recovery ability is far greater than that of other countries. As long as the situation improves, it will show immediately. In addition, the U.S. government's rescue measures are also very strong, which can greatly help the later development. The situation in Europe is relatively complicated and will not recover before the United States. The biggest impact is Japan. Before the crisis broke out, Japan's economy improved slightly, but the results accumulated just now turned into bubbles in the crisis. If the situation deteriorates again, Japan will be the first to be the hardest hit area."

After listening to Pang Xinglong's "imperative" analysis, Ji Youguo began to ponder again.

At this time, Wang Yuanqing gave Pang Xinglong a look.

Pang Xinglong is not a ignorant master. It is almost twelve o'clock, and the head of state is about to rest. He immediately stood up and said, "Head of state, if there is nothing else, I will say goodbye first."

"Oh, okay, it's getting late, so you can go back and rest early." After suddenly coming to your senses, Ji Youguo said to Wang Yuanqing again, "Xiao Wang, send Premier Pang out, and then come over to clean up the things."

After seeing Pang Xinglong off, Wang Yuanqing rushed back immediately.

"Chief, Vice Premier Pang is really amazing. Those who are from economics are different." When packing up the pastries and tea, Wang Yuanqing and Ji Youguo started chatting casually.

"Not bad?" Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said, "Pang Xinglong didn't mention the key points at all. What is the core of the economy? It is to let consumers, that is, ordinary people have money to use and dare to use money, so that the products produced by factories can be sold domestically, rather than exchanged for some colorful tickets. What is the core of the economic crisis? It is the overcapacity of the world, the products produced by factories cannot be sold, the wages cannot be paid, and workers have no money to buy products, causing a vicious cycle. It seems that these two problems are not much related, but in fact they have one thing in common, that is, a small number of people have too much wealth, which leads to wealth becoming numbers in the account, rather than purchasing power flowing in the market. Most people who need to buy goods do not have enough wealth in their hands, which leads to unable to afford goods in the market."

Wang Yuanqing put down the rag on his hand and looked at the head of state in disbelief. In his understanding, the head of state has always been unfamiliar with economic issues, but he has expressed such a profound truth.

"If I spread the problem, I can chat with you for three days and three nights." Ji Youguo smiled and said, "I think this crisis is far from over, and at most it will only be temporarily stopped. When the conflicts accumulate to a certain level, a more violent outbreak will occur, and then the country that is not fully prepared will be in great trouble."

"First of the People, we cannot wait for death."

"This is of course. Now all countries are like reindeer in a severe winter blizzard. Whoever can survive until the end will see the sunshine and the spring of everything revived." Ji Youguo stood up and yawned. "It's getting late. After packing up, you should go home and go to bed quickly. In addition, remember to let Foreign Minister Huang Guowei come to see me six and a half days tomorrow. I have important things to discuss with him."

Looking at the head of state's departure, Wang Yuanqing sighed long.

He admired the head of state's wisdom and was worried about the head of state's body. In the past three years, especially over the past year, the head of state has become much older than before.
