Chapter 281 The upright son wronged the country

"I would also like to know why you declined the chief's entrustment? Don't repeat the previous set of rhetoric. Those can't fool me, and probably can't fool the chief. Tell me, what is the reason?" When the plane stabilized, Zhong Yi finally couldn't hold back any longer, and couldn't help asking Zhong Shi who was sitting next to him and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

  Zhong Shi took off the blindfold, stared at Zhong Yi blankly for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "I don't believe that with your intelligence, you can't guess my scruples?"

"But there has always been such a saying that this Chief Zhuge will be in charge of government affairs at the meeting held in March next year. If this is true, then do we still have to worry about people like Song Ling and others? Zhong Yi scratched her head and said unwillingly.

Zhong Shi nodded and said solemnly: "It's not that it's said that he will definitely become the prime minister. Zhuge Guan is a talent for governing the world and is absolutely capable of managing a country. But you may not understand politics, and generally Hong Kong and Macau affairs are not in his charge Moreover, the appointment of Song Ling and others is not completely in his hands. In this way, even if he wants to intervene in Hong Kong affairs, his influence will be extremely limited."

Seeing the inconceivable expression on Zhong Yi's face, Zhong Shi couldn't help curling his lips, and then said: "Of course, this situation is not absolute. If there is a major problem with a Chinese-funded enterprise in Hong Kong, a high-level one like the Zhuge Pavilion will Officials still have a certain say, especially in the economy.”

"Now we are weak, and it is not enough to just attach to a Zhuge Pavilion." Zhong Shi took out a business card from his pocket and said lightly, "Chinese-funded enterprises in Hong Kong have formed an inherent pattern. If we intervene rashly, we will definitely offend countless interest groups. People like Song Ling have already realized that they are prepared for a rainy day. Have you noticed that apart from the two of us, other people who have shown a little support for the government in Hong Kong Anyone who is interested in what he does comes under his fierce attack, no matter what their opinion of the Hong Kong market is."

"No wonder!" Zhong Yi let out a long sigh, and then suddenly realized, "However, this time we can get the contact information of Zhuge Office, it can be regarded as a way of compensation, right?" business card.

   This business card was given to them by the office director of Zhuge Office before they left, so that they could contact him at an appropriate time.

According to the configuration of Huaxia officialdom, high-level leaders have a corresponding office, and the employees inside are naturally the chief's absolute confidantes. Getting such a business card means that they have entered the chief's eyes. Weigh your weight.

  The office director of the Zhuge Office is a middle-aged man with a very winking look, and he deliberately presented the business card in front of Song Ling, which is quite intriguing.

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Zhong Shi casually played with the business card in his hand, and said lightly, "I think the chief has another meaning, that is, my fund should not participate in the attack on Hong Kong, and must not undermine Hong Kong's stability. Prosperity. I think the head of state should already understand that the currency crisis in Southeast Asia this time is definitely not an accident. I am afraid that it is an economic purge of Southeast Asia and even China by international forces, especially when the New Taiwan dollar may be announced to abandon it. This intention is even more obvious."

  Zhong Yi also nodded grimly, expressing his agreement with him.

"However, I really don't intend to make a fortune in the Hong Kong market. I have already laid out the layout." Zhong Shi suddenly smiled, and his tone became more relaxed, "And as I said, there are huge profits in other regions. Possibly, not empty words. Just wait and see, this storm of currency crisis is far from over."

"You mean South Korea?" Zhong Yi thought for a while, and then named a country, "According to public information, South Korea's trade deficit is quite serious, and the central bank has frequently intervened in the market, but there should be no major problems in the short term After all, the South Korean side has already been alerted enough to the currency crisis, and there is no sign yet that hedge funds will set their sights on South Korea.”

   "Just wait and see!" Zhong Shi took back his business card, put on the blindfold again, and ended the conversation.

  …

   Just when Zhong Shi and others took the plane back to Hong Kong, a meeting with a very high level of participation was being held in Xihai Palace.

  Xihai is the place where leaders work together. Dozens of state agencies and departments gathered in this place with an area of ​​only a dozen square kilometers. In addition, there were dozens of high or low buildings around the West Sea, all of which were the core departments of the country. These departments, along with those in the West Sea, formulate and maintain the policy of the country.

At this time, in a meeting room of Xihai Palace, more than a dozen people were sitting around a large conference table, and around them near the foot of the wall, there were also dozens of people sitting on tables and chairs. Everyone held a document in their hands, and they either bowed their heads in twos and threes to discuss, or frowned and thought hard.

Because it was a royal garden before, the buildings and furnishings here are all in an ancient pattern. The rockery with strange peaks, winding corridors, spacious and bright rooms, and antique furniture all look majestic and majestic. . But the people in the room obviously didn't have time to appreciate all the scenes. After the initial discussion, they all turned their eyes to the host sitting in the center.

  If you are a person who often pays attention to politics here, you will be surprised to find that there are almost all the top leaders of many central departments such as the central bank, the Ministry of Finance, and the Administration of Foreign Exchange gathered here. In addition, there were many non-voting personnel from other departments, and there were even a few people in military uniforms.

"I believe that everyone has seen the documents in hand, let me tell you about the source of this information first," Director Zhuge sighed, and said a little helplessly, "Our current intelligence collection work can only rely on some peripheral analysis, but These things are pretty telling now."

Having said that, he looked up at a few people in military uniform sitting at the foot of the wall, and then continued: "These are all passed on by the staff of the staff department. Although there is no way to find out the specific content of the meeting, according to the We can roughly infer a part of what happened before, everyone is in charge of the relevant fields, please share your views below."

  Everyone followed Zhuge Guan's gaze and looked at the uniformed personnel, with expressions of admiration on their faces. They know that behind the few thin sheets of paper in their hands, they don't know how many lives have been sacrificed.

   After a moment of silence, an old man with white beard and hair stood up. His body was trembling, as if he would fall down at any moment. Seeing this, Zhuge Guan quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Wu, this is our internal meeting, so there is no need to talk about these formalities. If you make any mistakes, I can't afford it. Please sit down."

  The old man surnamed Wu was named Wu Lu. He went to the United States to study in the 1930s as a public servant. After finishing his studies, he resolutely gave up the superior environment there and returned to the newly established new government. However, due to political reasons and the country's positioning for economic development, he, a talented student, has never been useful. It was not until after the reform and opening up that the country's leadership changed its development direction after learning from the pain, that he was re-emphasized.

   At this time, Wu Lu is already an old man in his nineties, but he is in good spirits and clear-headed. He is currently the main person in charge of the national economic think tank. Since the series of economic ideas he proposed in the 1950s and 1960s have become the mainstream of current development, and he has decades of experience in capital operations in Europe and the United States, Zhuge Pavilion specially invited him to participate in this meeting this time.

  Two staff members hurried up, helped the old man surnamed Wu up from left to right, and left the room after he sat down again.

Clearing his throat, Wu Lu said: "Chief Zhuge, since you have produced this document, it shows that the problem is quite serious. As far as I know, these institutions listed on the list are more or less involved in the current Although there is no direct evidence of the currency crisis in Southeast Asia, we can boldly assume that the currency crisis this time was caused by their deliberation."

  As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately caused an uproar. Due to the economic transformation of the entire country, elites who believe in free markets have begun to be reused. They regard the idea of ​​reducing government intervention or even not intervening and allowing the market to freely deploy as their standard, and naturally dismiss the so-called capital conspiracy theory.

  In their view, these multinational banks or large financial institutions are not vassals of the government, or even their enemies. Because of taxation or judicial relations, these institutions can even go to court with the government for profits. Under the control of this kind of thinking, they naturally do not think that these institutions will be controlled by the government.

"Mr. Wu, you are too serious!" Soon, the rebutter stood up, an economist named Liu Huanfei who worked for the Central Bank, "These materials don't explain anything. Moreover, Southeast Asian countries have There are all sorts of problems that caused the currency crisis to happen, and it might not have been premeditated, as you say."

  He said it quite politely, after all, Mr. Wu's qualifications are there. Even if he disagrees with Wu Lu's point of view, he has to maintain corresponding respect.

   As soon as Liu Huanfei said what he said, several people immediately nodded in agreement. Obviously they thought the same as Liu Huanfei.

Who would have thought that Wu Lu's reaction would be extremely violent, he slapped the table suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Zhuzi is wronging the country!" After speaking, regardless of his age, he stood up tremblingly, pointed at Liu Huanfei's nose and cursed: "Boy, you know What is a capital war? Don’t take Keynes, Friedman or Samuelson too seriously! You must know that what they are talking about is economic theory, but in fact the operation of the world economy has no Out of the hands of the government!"
