Chapter 124: Father Meng's inquiry

It was after six o'clock in the afternoon that Meng Tong's father came back.

Meng Tong ran to open the door, and Wu Yue also stood up from the sofa to greet Meng's father.

Meng's father was tall and handsome. When he came in and saw Wu Yue standing up to greet him, he immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Yue, please sit down. You're welcome."

Meng Tong helped his father take off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

Meng's father walked to the sofa and saw that Wu Yue was still standing. He smiled and said: "Xiao Yue, please sit down. There are many things in the bureau. I can't come back at noon. I have to ask Comrade Xiao Yue to forgive me."

Wu Yue waited for Meng's father to sit down before following him.

Seeing Meng's father smiling kindly and joking with him, his good impression increased greatly, and he smiled and said, "Uncle, you are serious."

Mother Meng poured them more water and said with a smile, "You guys chat, I'll cook."

Meng's father casually asked Wu Yue some family matters, just like an ordinary person, without giving anyone the feeling of being condescending.

Wu Yue was a little nervous at first. After all, the person in front of him was Meng Tong's father, a high-ranking Chinese official. Although he really felt that the chairman was just an ordinary person, it was still a bit strange to see a real person for the first time.

However, Meng's father behaved very kindly, and Wu Yue's trace of nervousness disappeared.

Of course, this is also related to self-confidence. In Wu Yue's opinion, there should be very few people who look down on him now.

The two chatted for a while, Meng's father also asked a few questions about Jin Province, and Meng's mother prepared a meal.

Meng Tong's parents ate very little for dinner, which made Wu Yue feel embarrassed to eat more.

Meng's father seemed to read Wu Yue's thoughts and said with a smile: "We are old and can't eat much. You guys eat more. Meng Tong will serve Wu Yue another bowl of rice."

"good."

Meng Tong's parents did not leave the table, but ate slowly.

After dinner, Meng's father and Wu Yue sat on the sofa. Meng's mother poured them a cup of tea and went to clean the kitchen.

Meng's father chatted casually with Wu Yue for a while and asked, "I see that you are very interested in state affairs. Do you have any plans to enter politics in the future?"

Wu Yue shook his head and said: "No, my personality is not suitable for politics. I will focus on investment and charity in the future."

Father Meng nodded and said: "Yes, the poor can only take care of themselves, and the wealthy can help the world. This is also an idea we advocate. However, there are some risks in your relationship with Meng Tong. I promoted the reform of the coal industry in Shanxi Province, and Zhejiang Business Capital

Planted in Jin Province

They are the most active investment funds in the country, and they are very united and can manage tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of funds. If they know that you are in love with Meng Tong, I am afraid someone will deal with you in the investment market and file for coal reform.

hatred."

Father Meng was reminding Wu Yue and also testing Wu Yue.

Wu Yue said with a smile: "My future investments will mainly be in foreign markets. They don't have the ability to attack me in the international market. Even if I face them domestically, I may not lose."

When Father Meng saw that Wu Yue did not hesitate, he nodded and said: "Be careful in sailing the ship of ten thousand years, especially the investment market is unpredictable, so you should be more cautious."

He said with a smile: "Of course you are a financial genius, I am a layman and am doing my best, so don't mind."

Wu Yue said quickly: "Uncle is right, the financial market risks are indeed very high, and you need to be very careful."

Father Meng smiled and said: "Yes, you can move forward boldly but also be careful at all times. Just like our party said when you cross the river by feeling for the stones, you must be bold and careful at the same time. It seems that this is how every industry can succeed.

.”

The two chatted for a while, and Meng's father smiled and said: "What do you think of the coal reform I promoted? Just say whatever you think, I won't be angry."

In front of Meng's father, Wu Yue was really embarrassed to evaluate Meng's father's affairs. He thought for a while and said: "I am young and have little knowledge. I may say something wrong. Uncle, please bear with me."

Father Meng smiled and said: "We are taking a road that has never been walked before. No one knows who is right and who is wrong. Just say it, I just want to hear what your generation thinks."

"Then I will say it boldly. First of all, I personally do not like the state's interference in the economy, let alone the existence of state-owned enterprises."

Meng's father still smiled when he heard what Wu Yue said.

Meng Tong on the side was a little anxious and quickly winked at Wu Yue, hoping that Wu Yue would say something nice.

Wu Yue ignored Meng Tong and continued: "On the economic level, I still think the country should regulate the behavior of enterprises through legislation, which can also achieve the purpose of affecting these industries.

For example, in the coal industry, the state can control the coal industry by levying resource fees. Coal is the food for industry and directly affects electricity prices. The state must control coal prices. We can completely control coal prices by adjusting resource fees.

When coal companies increase prices, we will increase resource fees. Coal prices are 100 yuan per ton and 700 yuan per ton, so resource compensation fees cannot be fixed.

Even if coal companies still increase prices, the state can subsidize industries related to people's livelihood such as electricity through resource compensation fees collected.

If the coal companies were all private enterprises, I believe that the state would have a stronger ability to regulate coal prices. But now that the large coal companies are state-owned enterprises, the state's ability to regulate coal prices has been weakened. What policies the relevant departments want to come up with have to be controlled by

These state-owned enterprises are constraining us, and to a certain extent, state-owned enterprises are undoubtedly counterproductive."

When Father Meng heard this, he couldn't help but want to nod.

In name, he is in charge of the national energy industry, but those state-owned enterprises are affiliated with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. If he wants to promote reform, the first thing he must suppress is the opposition force of state-owned enterprises. Some of the CEOs of large state-owned enterprises have very high administrative levels, and many of them come from wealthy families.

Although he has the title of deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, it is not easy to suppress these state-owned enterprise bosses.

Sometimes, he also thinks that if there were no state-owned enterprises, the resistance to reform might be smaller.

Of course, as a senior official of our party, he cannot agree with this statement.

After Wu Yue talked about it, he also knew that he could not continue. If he continued to talk about it, if the coal reform state-owned enterprises annexed small coal mines, it would be a reversal of history. He smiled: "Of course, the existence of state-owned enterprises is a legacy of history, and it cannot be changed in a short time.

Simply looking at the coal reform, I think the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

In the past, when our village had the largest number of coal mines, there were more than ten or twenty coal mines. Production could be produced just by digging any opening. There were no safety measures, not to mention environmental protection facilities. I often heard that people died in the mines. Of course, I did not report them to me.

Let’s not talk about it. Pollution is also

It's very powerful. When it rains, it's black, and when it falls on your clothes, you'll see black spots. And there's also a huge waste of resources. Small mines only mine rich ores, and leave poor ores alone. Mining all the rich ores, leaving the poor ones.

Even if state-owned enterprises are allowed to procure again, the gains outweigh the losses.

If the state raises the threshold for coal companies and allows coal companies to improve mechanization and environmental protection standards, it can reduce the occurrence of mining accidents, pollution, and waste of resources."

Father Meng smiled and said: "This is what you just said about the state's influence on the industry through regulations, right?"

Wu Yue nodded and said: "Yes, the country is already doing this, but I was a little angry just now. Judging from the current market participants, most of the companies that have the ability to improve mechanization and environmental protection facilities are indeed state-owned enterprises, so this is also true.

It is said by many people that the country is advancing and the people are retreating.

I personally feel that these people are either bribed by the coal bosses, or they want to attract attention by discrediting the government. As people from coal mining areas, we have had enough of the pollution from small coal mines, and we welcome large companies to integrate coal resources.

Of course, coal bosses are also citizens of our country, and their legitimate rights and interests should also be protected. They are also people who have made contributions to the country."

Father Meng smiled and said, "Oh? Tell me what contributions they have made."

Wu Yue hesitated for a moment and said: "In the past, the mechanization of state-owned enterprises was not very high, but our country's industry is developing rapidly. I am afraid that the output of state-owned enterprises alone cannot meet the needs of industry? At that time, small coal mines were excavated everywhere, and there might not be any government support.

Acquiesce. They organized production and made some contributions to the country's economic development. Of course, they all received their rewards, and the coal boss's net worth is still jealous of most people."

Father Meng nodded and said: "You are right, the coal boss has indeed made contributions to the country. But the times are progressing, and the people's requirements are getting higher and higher. In the past, many people did not know what environmental protection was, but now everyone

They are all talking about protecting the environment. Coal bosses can no longer keep up with the needs of the times, so it is time for them to retire after their success.

In fact, it is the same for us. When everyone retires after success, you cannot say that you have made some contributions to the country. You have to hold on to this position. The statement that the country advances and the people retreat is completely unobjective.

Well. It’s not that private companies are not allowed to exist in the coal industry. The key is that the coal bosses don’t have the strength or are reluctant to invest!”

Wu Yue nodded and said: "You're right. Zhejiang merchants have enough funds to make them bigger and stronger. However, coal prices have fluctuated greatly in the past two years, and with the development of new energy sources, many rich coal bosses do not dare to operate on a large scale.

Invest in the coal industry, improve mechanization and environmental protection standards. It used to be

Just dig a hole casually, install some machinery, and you can earn tens or hundreds of millions a year. Now let them invest hundreds of millions to improve mechanization and increase environmental protection facilities. There are really not many coal bosses who dare to do it. And even if they are coal bosses,

Even if you invest a lot of money, it may not end well.

The shale gas revolution in the United States will keep coal prices at a certain level in the next few years, and many coal companies will fall into losses. Taking money out now may not be a bad thing."

The shale gas revolution has not yet become popular, which means people in the energy industry will pay attention to this aspect.

The National Energy Administration has also just established a key technology research project for shale gas exploration and development, increasing its efforts in scientific and technological research, hoping to break through core technologies and accelerate the pace of shale gas exploration and development.

The special development plan and related policies for shale gas are still being prepared and studied.

Meng's father did not expect Wu Yue to understand this. Hearing this, he said: "The shale gas revolution in the United States may indeed have an impact on the world's energy industry. I didn't expect you to even understand this. Then what do you, a financial genius, think about shale?"

Qi revolution?”
