Mu Guoxing said with a smile: "This is a dish I liked when I was working in Ningbei. The braised lamb's hoof is not only delicious, but also has high nutritional value. It is also dogmatic for health doctors not to allow meat to be eaten. Those old leaders are not in good health. It’s right to eat less meat, but what are you afraid of at my age? Didn’t all the great founding fathers say that if you don’t allow meat to be eaten, you won’t let people live!”

Everyone laughed together, Cao Jinian said: "Existence is reasonable. What you want to eat proves what your body needs. Your aunt is also not allowed to eat this or that. She keeps nagging all day long, so annoying!"

Cao Jinian said it was annoying, but the happiness on his face showed that he was not annoyed at all.It's like a woman who says that a man is really bad, but actually likes this man in her heart, but if she says you are a good man, then you have to think about it carefully.

The current Yi Le Hall has become a mysterious place in the minds of all senior officials. No one thought that after the original old palace was transformed into Mu Guoxing's office, it would be so unattainable that it would be able to get Mu Fu's office. The prime minister's interview is a very honorable event for them.Of course, some people like it and some people hate it. Chen Mingchu, Party Secretary and President of Petroleum Group, is the one who hates this place the most.

In the afternoon of the first two days, Chen Mingchu received a call from Mu's Office, asking him to report to Yi Le Hall at ten o'clock the next morning. The main content was the oil group's entry into real estate.

After receiving the notice, Chen Mingchu got busy. He made a few phone calls, visited several bigwigs in person, and then organized a group of talented people to draft a report for him overnight. Take it easy.

After waiting for 10 minutes in the reception room of Yi Le Hall, Chen Mingchu was brought into a reception room by the staff, and it took another 3 minutes for Mu Guoxing to come in.

After shaking hands and exchanging greetings, Mu Guoxing asked: "Comrade Mingchu, you are the first boss of a state-owned enterprise to report to me. To create wealth for the country, please start reporting now."

Chen Mingchu's eloquence is very good, coupled with the gorgeous words in the report materials written by the scholars, the mouthful of Beijing movies is naturally very fluent, but if you listen carefully, this report is empty and has no practical content. sexual content.

Mu Guoxing did not, as usual, give affirmation first after the people below reported their work, and then pointed out their shortcomings with but, but asked straightforwardly: "Comrade Mingchu, what does your report look like today?" I also made some preparations, and I have a few questions to ask you, how much money did you raise in total for listing in the United States?"

Chen Mingchu was taken aback. He didn't expect Mu Guoxing to mention this question, so he thought for a while before saying, "Probably [-] million has been raised."

Mu Guoxing looked at Chen Mingchu and said, "The exact amount is 29 billion. Let me ask you another question. How much has your oil group distributed to American investors in total over the past few years?"

To be honest, Chen Mingchu really didn't grasp the situation. Even though he is the secretary of the party group and the president, he is overwhelmed with daily trivial matters. For these specific business issues, they are all in charge of by the vice president. When asked, he really couldn't tell.

Seeing that Chen Mingchu couldn't answer, Mu Guoxing said: "Since you can't tell, I'll answer for you. In the past few years, your cumulative dividends to American shareholders have reached 170 billion U.S. dollars, about more than 1000 billion yuan. In the year before last alone, you distributed more than 600 billion yuan in dividends to American companies, and how much profit have you paid to the country in these years?"

VIP Chapter [-] Arrogant President

Regarding this figure, Chen Mingchu couldn't answer it even more. After thinking for a long time, he finally said: "Chief, I don't know the specific business issues. Our group has a special team responsible for this work." Mu Guoxing pointed He nodded, and asked calmly: "Since you don't know much about these specific issues, let me ask you a big question. The oil group is a state-owned enterprise. Do you know how much state-owned shares are in the oil group? "

Sweat came off Chen Mingchu's face in a flash. If he didn't understand some specific dividends, he could still justify it, but if he couldn't say how much state-owned shares he held, it would be too disrespectful anyway. up.

"Probably... estimate, maybe a little more than 50.00%!"

"You, the party secretary and president, are really not very good. Let me tell you, the state-owned shares account for 80.00% of the entire shares of the Petroleum Group. You don't know the composition of the shares, nor the proportion of dividends. , I really don’t know how you become the president!”

Chen Mingchu felt his face heat up. Mu Guoxing's speech really made him unacceptable. For so many years, no leader of the central government had criticized him so seriously, he, the biggest boss of a state-owned enterprise.Because the Petroleum Group is rich and powerful, and it is a very lucrative unit, some officials, no matter whether they are lower or higher than Chen Mingchu, are very polite when speaking to him. No matter inside or outside the company, they call him Boss Chen. So much so that Chen Mingchu really thought that this oil group belonged to him.

"Chief, although I can't tell you the shareholding ratio of the Petroleum Group, and I don't know the amount of dividends for each shareholder, but the work achievements of the Petroleum Group over the past few years are obvious to all. Last year alone, we handed over [-] billion yuan to the state. tax."

Before Chen Mingchu came here, he had gotten angry with several big bosses. Perhaps with the explicit support of these people, instead of humbly accepting Mu Guoxing's criticism, he defended himself in front of Mu Guoxing.

Chen Mingchu was too arrogant, so he didn't think about who Mu Guoxing was.He is now a member of the Political Standing Committee and the deputy prime minister in charge of economic affairs. His strength is obvious to all.Don't say that Chen Mingchu is just the boss of a state-owned enterprise, even those provincial and ministerial officials, even some deputy state councilors, would not dare to speak like this in front of him.

Through this period of work, none of the leaders of various departments in the country is not afraid of Mu Guoxing. At this time, Chen Mingchu dares to be so arrogant in front of Mu Guoxing. Isn't he asking for bad luck?

"Boss Chen's name is very famous. Do you think that paying 1 billion yuan in taxes to the country is a big deal. All enterprises in China must pay taxes according to the law. Your obligation, no one has privileges in this regard. The state has invested more than 2 trillion yuan in the oil group, and now you claim that the added value has reached more than [-] trillion yuan. You think that paying this little tax is a lot ?"

Chen Mingchu opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. As the boss of a state-owned enterprise, no matter how stupid he is, he should know the truth that doing business requires paying taxes.What Mu Guoxing said was right, this is an obligation, and no one has any privileges in this regard. He originally wanted to use the matter of paying taxes to cover himself up, but he didn't expect that it would be even more difficult for Mu Guoxing to seize this matter. Seriously criticized him, this is shooting yourself in the foot.

"According to your financial statements, the petroleum group formed an after-tax net profit of more than 2000 billion yuan last year. Let's not talk about whether the data in this report is watery. Just based on your after-tax net profit of more than 2000 billion yuan, How are you allotted?"

This time, Chen Mingchu answered quickly, because the matter of handing over profits to the state was the result of his own manipulation: "Sir, last year we paid a little less profit, but this was also approved by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission agreed with you to hand over the profits at a rate of 29%. It is for the future investment and development of the National Petroleum Corporation, and it is not for you to distribute the remaining profits to others. I am wondering now Well, you only raised 700 billion U.S. dollars in the United States, but gave them a dividend of more than 80.00 billion yuan a year. The state-owned shares accounted for [-]% of the five, but you only got [-] billion yuan. What kind of person are you? Account? State-owned enterprises should also abide by the company law and act according to the laws of the market. In your specific operations, you have repeatedly asked the National Development and Reform Commission and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to act in accordance with the laws of the market. But when you distribute dividends, why don’t you act according to the laws of the market? What's the point of that?"

If Chen Mingchu had kept quiet until now, maybe the result would have been better, but there are so many arrogant people in this world. Seeing Mu Guoxing stepping hard, Chen Mingchu also went all out. Anyway, there are still a few people behind him The boss was supporting him, and reached an agreement with them before coming.Others say that Mu Guoxing is strong, and Chen Mingchu is now the first person to eat crabs. He wants to try how strong Mu Guoxing is. Does he dare to dismiss him as an oil tycoon?If he really dared to do this, would those bigwigs agree?

"Boss, our dividend plan this time was decided after collective research by the company's board of directors. Even if there is a mistake, it should be borne by the board of directors collectively."

Mu Guoxing laughed angrily: "Now you are talking about company law with me again. Let me ask you, is the oil group a state-owned enterprise? Are you the secretary of the party group of the oil group? Is your president appointed by the central government? You are sent to this position to let you manage the national assets well, think about it for yourself, how are you doing? Whose interests are you representing?"

This sentence is serious enough. Chen Mingchu is really hard to answer. If he said he represented the interests of the country, then Mu Guoxing would ask, since he represented the interests of the country, why did he repeatedly do harm to the country? What about interests?If it is said that he represents the interests of the shareholders, then Mu Guoxing will also ask, why did you not represent the interests of the largest shareholder, the country?

Mu Guoxing looked contemptuously at the tongue-tied Chen Mingchu and said: "I have to admit that the oil group has developed rapidly in recent years, especially in the international market, and has made great contributions to ensuring the country's energy security, but Are these achievements made by you, Chen Mingchu, alone? Without the close cooperation of the military and the foreign ministry, would you, Chen Mingchu, have been able to do this? Without the backing of a powerful country, would you dare to do this? One person’s thoughts Be correct and be pragmatic in doing things, if there is a problem with thinking, the consequences will be very serious.”

Chen Mingchu didn't dare to say a word and just listened. He knew that Mu Guoxing was telling the truth. Although these things he did were supported or tacitly approved by some people, they couldn't be put on the table after all.In the past few years, it is not that no one has reported the actions of the oil group, but they have been suppressed by some people. Now Mu Guoxing uses this incident to criticize him, which is actually a wake-up call to all state-owned enterprises.State-owned enterprises belong to the state, not to any one person. Since the central government allows you to be the boss, it can also remove you.

Mu Guoxing took a sip of tea and said: "The state supports the development of oil groups in the hope that you will contribute to the huge oil industry chain. Now there are many places where the development of oil-related industries is very uneven. You don't want to contribute to this aspect. What kind of guiding ideology is this to invest in real estate? Take a step back, even if the state allows you to enter real estate, who will support you in disregarding the state's repeated orders and refusal to obey the central government's policies on rectifying real estate? Woolen cloth?"

After a short pause, Mu Guoxing continued: "Racing horses to enclose land is something that feudal rulers would do when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and you have also learned it. The local government has negotiated with you several times, and you think you are a state-owned enterprise. You are rich and powerful, and turn a deaf ear to their reasonable demands, who gave you this privilege? Who actually allowed you to do this?"

VIP Chapter [-] Top Secret

Mu Guoxing became more and more angry as he spoke, took a few deep breaths, suppressed the bursts of anger in his heart, calmed down and said: "I hope you will think about the issues I talked to you today. , I will give you three months to solve these problems, otherwise, I will suggest that the central government remove you from the position of president of the oil group. Pao-shu_bar ()"

Chen Mingchu left with his head bowed, and Mu Guoxing also knew that it was impossible for Chen Mingchu to think clearly. Maybe he went to discuss some new countermeasures with some people.Mu Guoxing is not afraid of this aspect. Now the central leadership is very united, especially No. [-] and No. [-] are very supportive of his work. Even if some people want to make small moves, they can't make any big waves .But in this way, Mu Guoxing has offended many people, and the biggest interest group, the state-owned enterprises, cannot be touched easily.

Mu Guoxing's guess was not wrong at all. In the next two days, several influential figures called Mu Guoxing. These people were ostensibly criticizing Chen Mingchu, the president of the oil group, but the meaning behind the words was irrelevant. With one exception, they were all interceding for him, and some people even hinted that this was what the former No. [-] Mr. Shao and No. [-] Mr. He meant.

For these hints, Mu Guoxing would not believe it at all. Old politicians like Mr. Shao and Mr. He who put the interests of the country and the people first in everything, how could they be the same as Chen Mingchu? How could they do such a thing against the interests of the country and the people?These people are obviously discrediting the faces of the two old leaders.

Things were not as simple as Mu Guoxing imagined. These interlocutors still insisted on their original opinions, and in the end they moved out Mu Guoxing's old son, Mu Congjun.

One afternoon, as soon as Mu Guoxing came back from Zhongnanhai, the confidential phone on the desk rang, and as soon as he answered it, Mu Congjun's voice came out: "Guoxing, tomorrow is the weekend again, do you have time?" Go out with me for a while? You haven't seen your mother for a long time, can you come over for dinner tonight?"

Mu Guoxing knew that his father was definitely not looking for him just to have a meal or go out for a walk, there must be other important things to discuss, maybe the things to be discussed were related to Chen Mingchu's problem.

During dinner, the father and son didn't talk about anything, only Zhang Lanzhi kept feeding his son food.Although it was nourished by Baihua honey wine, Mu Guoxing also found that his mother's hair had already turned half gray, Zhang Lanzhi was almost 70 years old, and no one could resist the laws of nature.

"Guoxing, your grandfather Li Zhongsheng is sick and hospitalized, do you know?"

Mu Guoxing shook his hand holding the chopsticks, and looked at his mother: "Mom, how did you know this news, why Tong Tong didn't tell me, no wonder I haven't seen her all day. "

"Alas..." Zhang Lanzhi sighed and said, "My five daughters-in-law are all so sensible, I really don't know why my son is so blessed. Tong Tong may see that you are busy with work and don't want to distract you. I When I saw her in the hospital today, she kept telling me not to tell you. But when I thought about it, I have to tell you clearly that Tong Tong is the only family member beside your grandpa Li. The relationship between you and Tong Tong is like this again, although you can't visit him with great fanfare, you can always visit him in a low-key manner, and comfort the old man's heart." Mu Congjun glanced at his son: "After dinner, I have something to talk to you about. After the talk, you go to the hospital immediately to see if you can prolong his life as much as possible."

Mu Guoxing remembered that when he opened his eyes, he saw that Li Zhongsheng had passed away this month. Now that the matter had reached this point, even the gods could not save Li Zhongsheng's life.

"Father, I think it will be difficult for Grandpa Li to survive this time. The laws of nature are irresistible to anyone."

Mu Congjun and his wife didn't say anything, they knew their son's ability, and they saw many things very accurately.Not to mention anything else, even when Mu Guoxing's grandfather Zhang Yong died last time, it was also because of Mu Guoxing's accurate prediction in advance that he made preparations in advance.

Mu Congjun put down his job: "I've finished eating. After Guoxing finishes eating, come to the study."

After dismissing the staff, Mu Guoxing made tea for his father and himself. Mu Congjun said, "I heard that you criticized Chen Mingchu, the president of the Petroleum Group, two days ago."

Mu Guoxing nodded: "I criticized him very seriously at the time. As the largest state-owned enterprise, the Petroleum Group not only failed to take the lead in implementing the policies formulated by the central government, but instead supported its subordinate real estate companies to enclose a large number of land in the three northwestern provinces. It has caused a lot of passiveness in the work of the local government, and now the Ningbei Provincial Party Committee has sued all the complaints to the central government.”

Mu Congjun smiled, glanced at Mu Guoxing and said slowly: "The oil group really shouldn't do this, it should be seriously criticized, I heard you also criticized them for serious mistakes in profit distribution .and order them to make up the owed profits?”

Mu Guoxing also thought of his father's understanding of this matter so clearly. It seems that Chen Mingchu is indeed a very energetic person. Some people hinted that Mr. Shao and Mr. He wanted to protect him, and this statement was not groundless.

"The oil group was originally a state-owned enterprise. In addition to ensuring the country's energy security, it also took on the task of creating wealth for the country. They raised 29 billion U.S. dollars in the United States, and their annual dividends to American investors have far exceeded In spite of their investment ratio, they were given a dividend of more than 600 billion RMB last year, while the state holds 80.00% of the 200% of the shares, but only received more than [-] billion. This is obviously very abnormal. I Li Qingshan has been instructed to use the power of the National Security Bureau to thoroughly investigate this matter and see what is tricky here."

Mu Congjun's face changed slightly, he thought for a while and said: "Your approach seems correct on the surface, but you still don't understand the actual situation. You should tell Li Qingshan immediately and don't let the national security department intervene for the time being, so as not to cause harm to the country. A huge loss. I exchanged opinions with Lao Shao and Lao He this morning, and I think it's time to explain the state's top secrets to your leadership in advance."

Mu Guoxing's heart moved. When the new and old teams were handed over some time ago, in addition to the collective handover, there was also a *match.As a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo, can you not even know the top secret of the country?What kind of important secrets is the older generation of leadership still hiding?
