Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 878: Capitalism or Socialism

“So, since ancient times, changing generals during a battle has been a taboo.

Tongwei, don't think too much. Just do your job peacefully. Lao Pei and I will take care of anything that happens. We will continue to support you.

Oh, I forgot to tell you that Lao Pei has already gone to Beijing to explain the situation to the higher-ups. I believe these things will be removed soon.

What the hell are these five major charges? Others may not know about them, but don’t we?

Even if I were in your position today, I would definitely make the same decision as you."

Qi Tongwei was very excited, and a feeling of heroism of dying for his friend suddenly emerged in his heart.

"Governor Zhao, don't you want me to give you an explanation?"

Zhao Anbang took a bite of his meal and said, "What do you want to explain? Explain the five major crimes? I don't think it's necessary. I've read these five major crimes and they're just a little trick produced by dialectics.

I have seen this kind of situation many times. To be honest, I was troubled by this little trick as much as you were.

But I have never explained to anyone that as officials, we just need to do our job with a clear conscience and live up to the Party and the people.

And I know about Zhao Xiaoya. Don't you know whether you are colluding with me?

If Beishan wants to develop, it is necessary to attract market funds and private funds.

Otherwise, it would be a pipe dream to develop Beishan relying solely on state-owned funds.

If, as these five charges say, Beishan Automobile can be developed with Beishan's funds, then why would they need to transfer you all the way from Handong?

Now it is a market economy. The model of monopolizing the market alone will not work. It will only make Beishan remain a stagnant pond. Wasn’t that what Beishan’s planned economy was like before?

Only by introducing foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises can Beishan’s economic water source be transformed from stagnant to flowing.

Only by stimulating private wealth can the people of Beishan become rich and the economy of Beishan be revived."

Qi Tongwei was stunned by Zhao Anbang's opinion. To be honest, he didn't think so much.

The main reason for looking for Zhao Xiaoya was investment, in order to have more financial resources and accomplish more big things in the short term, saving every minute.

These are the three tricks that have worked for him time and again since he took office.

However, Zhao Anbang's words reminded Qi Tongwei that this statement was completely tenable.

The main problem of his research institute is not being the captain of the five major teams, but the first one, misappropriating state capital to achieve personal political growth.

As for the others, they are just fabricated charges.

What does it mean to be an overbearing official? Which top or second-in-command official is not overbearing?

In the struggle for power, no one will ever be merciful or give in.

What's the point of excluding dissidents? Who doesn't promote their own people?

As for personal heroism and advanced reforms, they are simply looking for trouble.

What is he here for? To be the fire chief!

If this fire chief is still timid and dares not take drastic measures, then wouldn't he be a joke?

Zhao Anbang put down his chopsticks and said in a low voice: "In fact, the controversy over you now is not about the five major crimes on the surface.

It is not a question of introducing private capital, but an old problem that has been bothering us for many years.

Capitalism or socialism?

You introduced Zhao Xiaoya's Longteng Group, which holds a 49% stake in Beishan Automobile. It can be said that to a certain extent, this private enterprise capital has become equal to state-owned capital.

This kind of equality forces those in power to consider whether Beishan Automobile is capitalist or socialist?

If everyone follows suit to develop the local area.

Will it not be long before many such shareholding models emerge throughout China, leading to the infiltration of state capital and socialism?

Some corrupt practices may even lead to the actual loss of state-owned assets.

Yes, the investment of private capital has accelerated local development.

It has also played a significant role in promoting and exerting positive effects on my country's economic transformation and development.

But this does not mean that the higher authorities will accept the push for transition, or even that the model will become one dominated by private capital.
