Volume 20 Looking at the World with Cold Eyes, Section 39 Think Tank
The situation on the National Development Bank is a little more complicated. The strategy of going out by central enterprises is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface. In fact, the international situation is changing. The strategy of going out by central enterprises is both victorious and defeated. It is common for some countries to be unacceptable to the local environment. Although the National Development Bank is a policy bank, it has been transformed into a development financial institution through last year's reform. In addition to supporting financing for some large-scale domestic projects, it also provides great support for the strategy of going out by central enterprises. However, with the reform, the National Development Bank has also increasingly strict requirements for various assessment indicators. It will not let you go just because you have the national political mission. ●⌒,
Coordinating the relationship between these departments is a technical skill that tests the school skills. Lu Weimin and the China Development Bank have also dealt with. During the construction of several major projects in Blue Island, several leaders of the China Development Bank have come into contact with each other many times. In the construction of major projects in Blue Island and urban construction, the China Development Bank still provides great support for major projects and urban construction of Blue Island. The cooperation between the two sides is very pleasant, but this does not mean that when Lu Weimin coordinates the relationship as deputy director of the Central Political Research Office and deputy minister of the United Nations General Office, they will continue to support you.
As people say, they are financial institutions and have transformed from policy banks to developmental financial institutions. Then, naturally, they must be based on operating benefits and preventing financial risks. If you ask others to over-think the so-called national interests in their operations, it seems a bit vague and vague.
These departments should be placed one by one, and also achieved substantial communication and exchanges. Lu Weimin roughly estimates that it would not work if there is no one or two months. Sometimes you have time, but others don’t have time, and sometimes people come but are not fully prepared. The negotiations cannot achieve the purpose of tone, and even need to go for a second trip. All these possibilities exist. Lu Weimin also realized the inadaptability of his own cadres from the local area. For example, many leading cadres of ministries and commissions are not familiar with them. They need to contact and visit first, and then they can meet up with the next step of negotiation and discussion. One job may take two trips to truly achieve the goal. Otherwise, the kind of work that enters substantive work after the first contact is often difficult to achieve the expected results.
This has an adaptation process, and Lu Weimin was mentally prepared. It is impossible for him to work in central ministries and commissions as he is in local areas. Some work requires process and takes time. While he is a little uncomfortable, he also feels that this is a good opportunity to polish his personality.
Lu Weimin is also increasingly aware of the multiple intentions of the Central Committee to transfer himself to the Central Political Research Office and the General Office of the CPC Central Committee. He has worked at the grassroots level for too long and has been the top leader for a long time, and has developed some "bad" habits. He transferred him to the central ministries and commissions to serve, on the one hand, to adjust his vision and look at problems from a higher perspective. It helps to improve and expand his vision and mind, and at the same time, to serve as deputy in ministries and commissions. It is also a kind of tempering. It is necessary to make yourself accustomed to being a deputy, such as the brewing/negotiation/coordination work method, and not to be used to making decisions as before. This is indeed very beneficial to him.

When he returned to the office, he received a notice from the Ministry's Office that Lu Weimin went to Zhao Jiahuai's office. Unfortunately, Zhao Jiahuai went out. Lu Weimin didn't know what was going on, so he could only return to the office, but saw the invitation on his desk.
Invitation letter to the founding ceremony of the Chahar Society.
Lu Weimin's eyes lit up. He had heard of Chahar Society in his previous life that this can be regarded as a domestic private diplomatic think tank institution, a think tank institution that promotes public diplomacy. Some of the views of this institution coincide with many of Lu Weimin's ideas. After arriving at the Central Political Research Office and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, he had thought of this institution, but he could not remember when the institution was established. Unexpectedly, he had received an invitation to establish this institution now, which was a very good opportunity.
He knew that he had suddenly entered the Central Political Research Office and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and both at home and abroad, and many officials and scholars in this field were probably surprised by his own layman entering this field. What kind of attitude would he appear in these two departments probably attracted a lot of attention.
Over the past few months, I have been busy with research, which probably has made some people feel disappointed, and I feel that I am more like a character who is gilded and living. However, they don’t want to choose the Central Political Research Office and the Central Alliance Department when they want to gilded and living. There are too many unpopular departments that are more suitable, let alone how can they fall to the point of gilding and living living in Blue Island?
As their work division and some views were revealed, institutions and groups in these related fields began to gradually contact themselves. The Chahar Society should also be initiated by some well-known scholars, experts and officials in the field of public diplomacy. They advocate the breakthrough of China's influence through public diplomacy through unofficial channels and promote China to the outside world with an unofficial voice.
Lu Weimin also agrees with this method, which is in line with his own advocacy to support some private think tanks and institutions to establish some organizations, and through these organizations, we will vigorously develop civil relations between China and foreign countries, and promote the national conditions and impressions of China today to the outside world in this more acceptable way, and create a more realistic and positive image for China.
"Ministry Lu, there was another phone call to you in the morning. The other party left a phone call, claiming to be from the Military Science Society. They plan to visit you in the near future and hope to communicate with you in advance." Xiao Wang, the general office, knocked on the door and said after entering.
"Study from Military Science?" Lu Weimin was a little surprised, but immediately reflected on it.
This is a military think tank organization. It must have understood some of its views and opinions, so it came to visit me on its own initiative. It seems that the military's information is also very well-versed and is also paying attention to me.
But thinking about it, I had a relationship with the North Sea Fleet when I was on Blue Island. Although it was just a general friendship, I was a military fan in my previous life. I would inevitably "spoken words" in some private discussions and talk about my own private views. He remembered that when he visited the North Sea Fleet, he also talked about the idea of the Chinese Navy going out to become the Blue Water Navy when discussing the international military situation. Some people on the other side also said that it would be great if the senior central officials could have such ideas. It seems that he still served in the Central Political Research Office and the General Office of the CPC Central Committee. Some people in the Navy felt that it was "opportunity". They believed that if they could form a consensus through discussion on some ideas, they could naturally report to the upper level through their respective channels, and then provide reference for the senior officials.
"Yes." General Office Xiao Wang is also a young man. "I recognize one of them. It turns out that he is from the Academy of Military Sciences. His identity should be fine. When they saw that you were not here, they left this phone number, hoping to keep in touch and choose the right time to visit you."
Lu Weimin nodded, "I understand."
After Xiao Wang left, Lu Weimin looked at the phone number, which was a landline number, with no cell phone left, and no other text.
The Military Science Society is a private institution with an official background. Although it is a private think tank, it also represents the position of the Chinese side. Some research results can also reach the sky. From the other side's quick connection with itself, Lu Weimin judged that there are two possibilities. On the one hand, some of his private views on Blue Island were passed on to the ears of these military think tank personnel, believing that this is an opportunity for mutual communication. On the other hand, it may also be that his opinion on strengthening ties with East African countries and establishing a stable and smooth escort channel mentioned in the idea of the Chinese Navy going global to become the Blue Water Navy, which also aroused the interest of the navy.
My current views are not only representative of individuals, but also partly represent the Central Political Research Office and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. At least my views can influence these two departments. Through these two departments, we integrate resources to study this possibility and propose corresponding possibilities. This is exactly in line with the military's expectations and wishes. Both sides have common discourse on this point, so it is feasible to work together to conduct cooperative research in this area and can achieve better results.
Lu Weimin welcomes this kind of cooperation. In his opinion, whether it is the Central Political Research Office or the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, they should cooperate with private think tank institutions with a more open attitude. Considering issues from the official perspective is sometimes prone to bias or generalization, while private think tank institutions can effectively make up for the effect, helping the official to analyze and evaluate more comprehensively, and achieve better results.
Like the two institutions I met today, the Chahar Society is a purely private think tank, while the Military Science Society is a think tank with a military background. If these institutions can cooperate with the Central Political Research Office and the Department of the CPC Central Committee, they can undoubtedly further strengthen their influence on certain issues.
