After Duan Zetao's speech ended, the venue burst into applause. Even Shen Yaohui, who had his eyes set high above his head, had to admit that Duan Zetao's speech was clear and well-organized, with detailed arguments, which made him feel helpless and unable to refute.【】
At this time, the dignified old man in the corner asked: "Young man, your speech is very exciting. You just predicted that a financial crisis will break out in Southeast Asia, then will a financial crisis break out in China? If a financial crisis breaks out in Southeast Asia, What impact will it have on our country? How should we respond?!"
Duan Zetao recognized at a glance that the distinguished old man was the Vice Prime Minister who often appeared on the news network. He became nervous and excited again and stood up quickly.
The Vice Prime Minister waved his hand and said with a smile: "Young man, don't be nervous, sit down and talk, just treat me as an ordinary listener and continue your speech!".
Duan Zetao calmed down and replied confidently: "I don't think a financial crisis will break out in our country. There are two reasons. First, our country has not fully opened its financial market, so there is no problem of borrowing its own currency for speculation. At the same time, There is no free convertibility of foreign currencies, so the channels for indirect capital flows are not smooth...".
"Second, our country has the world's largest foreign exchange reserves. If international hot money blocks our country's financial market, our country will definitely use its foreign exchange reserves to fight back. Then international speculators will bear the huge risk of losing everything if they fail to block it..." .
"But this does not mean that we can sit back and relax. On the contrary, if a financial crisis breaks out in Southeast Asia, it will have a huge impact on our country's economy, mainly in terms of my country's export trade and foreign financing...".
Everyone was deeply moved by Duan Zetao's wonderful analysis, which was like a chef trying to solve a problem. Especially his calmness and magnanimity that were completely inconsistent with his age made everyone amazed. Even the Vice Prime Minister nodded frequently and humorously said again. He asked: "Xiao Duan's pulse is very accurate. He immediately grasped the root of the disease. Then please ask Xiao Duan to prescribe a supplement...".
Duan Zetao is now becoming more and more comfortable and answered without fear: "In the face of the adverse impact of the Southeast Asian financial crisis on the Chinese economy, we can consider and gradually adopt the following series of countermeasures."
“1. Promote trade development through export tax rebates for bulk products... 2. Adjust the export structure and market structure of products, turning attention to Europe, America, Latin America and Africa... 3. Adjust policies for the introduction of foreign investment... 4. Promote a low interest rate policy...5, turn disadvantages into advantages, take advantage of our good performance in the Southeast Asian financial crisis in the future, and strive to join the World Trade Organization as soon as possible to obtain stable international trade conditions...".
The venue once again burst into applause, and the Vice Prime Minister finally made a concluding speech: "This seminar was very successful. Please ask the staff to compile the discussion draft as soon as possible and submit it to the Prime Minister's office meeting for discussion...".
After the meeting, the Vice Premier came over to shake hands with Duan Zetao. He smiled cordially and said: "Xiao Duan, that's right. How old are you this year? You're only twenty-two. When I first saw the Economic Daily article, I was still guessing. The author should not be much younger than me. What a formidable young man! The future of China lies with young people like you!..." Before leaving, the Vice Premier even took a photo with Duan Zetao as a souvenir.
The Vice Premier's handshake was warm and powerful. Duan Zetao was still immersed in great excitement and excitement until he walked away. The Vice Premier shook hands with me! The Vice Premier praised me well!
At this time, Hu Qinglian came over and asked Duan Zetao curiously: "Young man, you have a very strong foundation in economics. I wonder which university you graduated from? Which professor did you study under?".
Duan Zetao scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I graduated from Jiangnan University, but I did not major in economics. I just like to read books in this field. I have also read your masterpieces."
This was a piece of uncut jade. Hu Qinglian's eyes shone brightly and he said with great joy: "I am recruiting graduate students in economics. Are you willing to be my student?"
Hu Qinglian can be called a leading figure in the field of economics. How many people want to be his disciple, but now he has offered to accept Duan Zetao as his student, which is a great thing that they can only dream of!
However, Duan Zetao considered that he had a lot of work and was far away from Beijing, so he hesitated and said: "Zetao really wants to be your old student, but I have a lot of worldly affairs and I can't stay in Beijing for a long time. I'm afraid...
.”.
Hu Qinglian waved his hand and said: "We at Yanjing University also have on-the-job graduate classes. Besides, where are your skills, I can personally recommend to the principal that you enroll without taking the exam. You just need to come and take classes twice a year. I believe you have some questions for your graduation defense."
No...".
Duan Zetao was overjoyed. He originally wanted to study for a postgraduate degree at Jiangnan University. However, Yanjing University is the leading institution of higher learning in the country. The value of the diploma is naturally much higher than that of Jiangnan University. Being able to become Hu Qinglian's direct disciple will also be beneficial to his career.
It was very helpful, and he quickly and respectfully bowed to Hu Qinglian as a disciple.
Other experts also came over to congratulate Hu Qinglian for accepting a good disciple. Only Shen Yaohui walked away with some embarrassment. Hu Qinglian was also very happy and said with a smile: "Leave your address and information to me, and I will ask the school to send you the admission notice."
You can register when school starts next year..."
Because Hu Qinglian was about to go abroad to attend an international academic conference, Duan Zetao made an appointment with him to visit his home when he registers next year.
In Zhongnanhai, Wang Xianguo followed the Vice Premier into the office. Suddenly the Vice Premier turned around and asked: "Xiao Wang, what do you think of Duan Zetao today? Have you learned about his situation?".
Wang Xianguo has followed the Vice Premier for many years, so he naturally knew that the Vice Premier was interested in talents. Fortunately, he had done enough homework before, and quickly replied: "This Duan Zetao is calm and generous in his work, but also passionate, and he has a keen eye when looking at problems.
He is thorough and is indeed a talented person. I have also learned about his basic situation. He just graduated from Jiangnan University this year and is currently the acting mayor of Shanglin Township, Shannan District, Jiangnan Province. He is very practical and willing to use his brain. In Shanglin Township
He is very popular among the masses and has high prestige...".
The Vice Prime Minister raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise: "Oh, he is still a small village head. When I was his age, I was just a clerk. This little guy is quite interesting. By the way, what is his family background?"
.
"He was born in a peasant family with only one mother and sister. His family conditions were not good and he had no background...".
Well, he has a clean financial background and no background, which means that he, as the township head, has done his job with his real ability. The Vice Premier was even more satisfied with Duan Zetao and nodded, with the corners of his mouth raised into a crescent shape.
Wang Xianguo also had a good impression of Duan Zetao. He wanted to help him, so he suggested: "This Duan Zetao is indeed excellent and a rare talent. Do you think you should transfer him to the central government...".
The deputy prime minister waved his hand and said: "It's not appropriate. Transferring him to the central government will only weaken his spirit, train a new bureaucrat, and waste a talent. Young people still need to hone more at the grassroots level before they can become great talents."
Ah, when Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, he must first suffer his mental and mental hardships, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and deplete his body..."
He pondered for a while and said: "In this case, you send his information to the Organization Department of the Central Committee and ask them to include Duan Zetao in the Red Successor Plan A. I will personally call Minister Li from the Organization Department of the Central Committee later...
.”.
Wang Xianguo couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that the deputy prime minister would value Duan Zetao so much and have such high expectations. As someone close to the leader, he knew a little bit about the Red Successor Plan A. It was a high-level national secret and was actually cultivated by the country.
A top-secret plan secretly implemented by the future successor!
Anyone included in the Red Successor Plan A is a key training target of the country, and they are promoted very quickly. Moreover, the country will have dedicated personnel to investigate the political achievements and official reputation of the trainees every year, and record them.
Of course, the requirements for those included in the red successor plan A are also particularly high. If their performance during their tenure is not outstanding enough, or their moral character is stained, they will be quickly eliminated and their career will be hopeless.
Duan Zetao didn't know that his fate had changed drastically. As soon as he finished the seminar, he was taken to "Shufangzhai" again by Zhu Feiyang.
As soon as Li Zehai saw Duan Zetao, he laughed and said: "Zetao, I heard that you stole the show at the seminar today, and even the deputy prime minister praised you highly!".
Seeing Duan Zetao's face full of surprise, Zhu Feiyang laughed and said: "Brother Tao, you are also surprised sometimes. There is no news in these four-nine cities that our Boss Li can't find out...".
(ps: Haha, today a reader reported a bug in the book to me, saying that I mistakenly wrote the protagonist’s name incorrectly in Chapter 34. When I checked, it was true, I actually wrote the wrong name.
The protagonist’s name is written as my own! (It has been changed back). I wonder if other attentive readers have noticed it. It seems that I am too deeply involved in the drama! To be honest, the click collection of readers has been very powerful recently. I wrote
