The trend of the stock market has probably been determined, and Lin Baiyao also received the latest updates on the tax reform of the State Council from Rao Yuqi.
Top leaders will hold a symposium and invite representatives from all walks of life to participate to solicit opinions on tax reform issues after joining the WTO.
Relevant departments are currently drafting candidates, and Lin Baiyao immediately called the editor-in-chief of Nandu Weekend News.
Sure enough, he had already received the invitation.
As one of the current public opinion leaders and a staunch representative of the reformists, who can talk to the higher-ups and personally planned and participated in the last tax reform debate that shocked the country, Lin Baiyao had long expected that his selection was a certainty.
The two sides cooperated very happily in the last big debate. The editor-in-chief also admired Lin Baiyao, the boss behind the scenes. Hearing that he wanted to come and ask for advice in person, he immediately extended an invitation.
Lin Baiyao flew to Huacheng overnight, took a short rest, and went to visit the newspaper building at eight o'clock in the morning.
The editor-in-chief originally reserved an hour for the meeting. No matter what was said, it should be enough.
However, Lin Baiyao started with the WTO, and after talking for an hour and a half, he got into a good mood. The editor-in-chief was so fascinated that he asked his assistant to postpone the subsequent arrangements for an hour.
"...The reason why WTO is difficult is that the core of the negotiations is that the speed and intensity of market opening must be consistent with the level of economic development. This is our bottom line. But after 13 years, we have never been able to find a balance point. In April this year, agriculture
The cooperation agreement was the biggest obstacle before we reluctantly signed it..."
The editor-in-chief sighed: "Yes, I heard that this time the leader went to the United States for negotiations in person. The American people were particularly worried. They felt that the leader's tough external image might require the United States to make big concessions. In order to dispel the doubts of the American people, the leader specially bought
Wearing two hats, he said that he was committed to helping the United States reduce its trade deficit. He also said that this trip to the United States was to help American people calm down. His humorous remarks aroused rave reviews from the public opinion circle and made American people relax their vigilance. What happened?
?Sure enough, we made big concessions in the first round, ha..."
"It's a pity that the success fell short and the talks finally collapsed. If we make concessions, our government will be under pressure from all aspects. If the United States makes concessions, the U.S. government will also be under pressure from all aspects. However, in terms of our ability to withstand pressure, we are better than the United States."
"So the negotiating team decisively rejected the United States' attempt to stay, and the leader also said that if the negotiations are to continue, the United States will come to the capital next time..." The editor-in-chief said: "Americans are extremely arrogant and may not come..."
"After so many years of negotiations, if the United States really didn't want to talk, it would have ignored us long ago." Lin Baiyao said: "I conclude that the United States will send a delegation to Beijing by November at the latest. By then we will take the initiative and the other party will agree.
Sign the agreement and join the WTO in one fell swoop.”
The editor-in-chief was shocked and asked: "What evidence is there?"
"First, next year's U.S. general election will usually focus on my country. The negotiating team there is not a fool. The deadline for success is the end of this year. Second, the battle in Kosovo allowed the United States to resolve the threat from the European Union and re-establish itself. The distribution industry chain is just around the corner. With my country’s market and cheap labor, it is impossible for the United States not to consider it. Third..."
In his previous life, a lot of information about the WTO negotiations was declassified. The confrontation between the two sides gave Lin Baiyao a God's perspective like a TV series, and he was able to give answers from an unexpected angle for people at this time.
This made the editor-in-chief interested. Faced with the assistant who knocked on the door and came in to urge him, he simply asked him to cancel all the meetings in the morning, boil water and make tea, and start a long conversation.
The two chatted until noon. The editor-in-chief really had a banquet that he couldn't postpone and said: "Mr. Lin, if you are not in a hurry, can we talk again tonight?"
Lin Baiyao smiled and said, "I'll be waiting for you at any time."
The two met again in the evening as promised. They made an appointment at a barbecue restaurant filled with fireworks, to eat some braised food, drink some beer, and continue chatting.
This time we are not limited to the WTO, but talk about everything from all over the world, the Internet, new energy, high technology, etc.
Lin Baiyao always spoke only a few words, but he seemed to be able to see through the clouds and see the blue sky. He pointed out the feasible direction of hot topics that people are debating nowadays. The editor-in-chief was amazed and praised him full of praise.
With the atmosphere in place, the emotions in place, and the preparation in place, Lin Baiyao shifted the topic to the WTO. With WTO accession imminent, tax reform was closely related to WTO accession.
He took out a report, and the editor-in-chief took it and took a look at it. The title read "Research on China's Entry into the WTO and my country's Tax System Reform."
There were not many words, only about 20,000, but after reading only the first few pages, the editor-in-chief felt as if he had found a treasure. Fortunately, he had just seen the evil side of Lin Baiyao, so he did not jump up in surprise and said: "Baiyao, this is you
His handiwork?"
"No, I just provided some research directions, and the specific person is Kuang Zhen, a famous associate professor of economic law at the University of Finance and Economics."
Kuang Zhen's reputation is not small in the economic and law circles, but he is too young, and his qualifications and reputation are not as good as those of the big guys who can become think tanks of the National Academy of Sciences. It is not difficult for Lin Baiyao to find him to write this research report.
Yin Changhe came forward for favors, Xingsheng paid for polishing his pen, and the professor was also well-versed in the world, so they hit it off immediately.
"Kuang Zhen? I don't know him."
The editor-in-chief was not impressed, but that did not prevent him from acknowledging the report itself, and said: "Baiyao, tell me, what exactly is going on here this time? I will definitely be able to help you in any way I can."
There is a skill in asking for help.
If Lin Baiyao had made the request as soon as they met in the morning, the editor-in-chief might agree or not. It would be a matter of luck.
Because there is friendship between them, but not much. They can handle small things but not big things.
But Lin Baiyao has no other way out!
This was his last chance to give it a try. It would be too illusive to simply leave it to luck.
Therefore, Lin Baiyao changed his past obscurity, made bold assumptions, dared to make judgments, and demonstrated his unique insights in the strategic pattern in a high-profile manner, which fully attracted the editor-in-chief's attention and invisibly increased his weight and importance in the editor-in-chief's mind.
Credibility.
Then take out the report, change the focus to the customer, and let the editor-in-chief offer to help, which is the final word!
Lin Baiyao said sincerely: "I would like to ask the editor-in-chief to help open a back door so that Xiaochai from Xingsheng can also participate in the symposium and talk about our personal experience of tax laws as a private enterprise..."
The editor-in-chief patted his chest and agreed, saying: "Don't worry, this is a good thing that is beneficial to the country and the people. I will put my face on it and I will definitely do it for you!"
In fact, we have to thank He Ming for instigating the tax law debate. As a party involved, Xing Sheng made a lot of noise. Now it is logical to propose to participate in the tax law reform discussion.
Otherwise, even if the editor-in-chief is invited, what reason can he use to persuade the National Council to open this back door?
Someone in the DPRK was easy to do. The day after Lin Baiyao returned to Yuezhou, Xingsheng Company received a call from the General Office of the State Council, asking Chai Muyun if he had time to attend a tax reform symposium as one of the representatives of private companies.
Chai Muyun received Lin Baiyao's instructions in advance, agreed without hesitation, and finalized the itinerary with the staff.
After hanging up the phone, she was still in a dream.
Two days later, on his way to Beijing, the editor-in-chief stopped in Yuezhou, met with Lin Baiyao to reminisce, and took Chai Muyun with him.
This was done deliberately because Chai Muyun was afraid that no one would take notice of him if he went there.
After saying goodbye at the airport, Lin Baiyao also drove to the capital with Duan Zidu and Tang Xiaoqi.
