Spring Breeze 1991

Chapter 819 Preparations before the war

"Secretary Zhang is right. Now that you have taken it out, you are ready to lose money. This is a political task, and money is nothing." Deputy Director Zhuo said quickly.

For them, it is a political task, and for Yao Yuan, it is dedication. If you worry about gains and losses again, it will really be looked down upon.

The current foreign exchange reserves are not as tight as before. Although they are still not enough, Deputy Director Zhuo has much more confidence in his heart than a few years ago.

It can be said that after the Asian financial crisis spread to Hong Kong, the central government firmly announced its full support for Hong Kong's financial stability and development, and a large part of its confidence came from the foreign exchange reserves of hundreds of billions of dollars.

At this time, Yao Yuan took advantage of the situation and asked, "Director Zhuo, can you clarify the use of a certain amount of foreign exchange reserves in an emergency?"

Deputy Director Zhuo pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, I don't think it's a big problem."

Can you still refuse? I can’t refuse. In fact, the national level hopes that private enterprises such as Chunfeng Group will start a war against international hot money trying to disrupt Hong Kong’s financial order in the world financial market. After all, there are many restrictions on the entry of the national team, and the current national The team is still very weak, very weak...

Yao Yuan is very satisfied, this promise is enough.

Seeing that the discussion on the ammunition issue had formed a unified opinion, Deputy Secretary Zhang took over the conversation and said, "Old Li, what happened to those big bosses in Hong Kong who wanted to invest in the UK? Have you talked to them?"

Mr. Li pointed to Yao Yuan with a smile, and said, "I asked Xiao Yao to come out for an interview. He has more face in Hong Kong than me."

Yao Yuan said, "Except for Li Bancheng, the other three cannot go."

Everyone knows this, and President Li asked curiously, "The three major families are deeply entrenched in Hong Kong. If they are determined to transfer their assets to the UK, it may be difficult to stop them."

He didn't mean to doubt Yao Yuan's ability, what he said was the truth.

Yao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's very difficult to stop. Time is tight and tasks are heavy, so I can only use some means. The Xu family has always wanted to return to the shipping industry. Set up a joint venture company and give the joint venture company a guaranteed minimum cargo volume of 1000 million tons per year, and the Xu family will decisively withdraw from the investment plan in the UK."

"1000 million tons guaranteed..." Deputy Secretary Zhang gasped slightly.

Yao Yuan nodded and said, "As for the Guo family..."

He smiled, "When I went to visit him, he avoided seeing him. I planned to find a chance to talk to him tomorrow, but this afternoon, Yu Yongan suddenly launched a sniper attack on Gangji shares. In half a day, Hong Kong base shares plummeted by two-thirds."

"Two hours ago, Yu Yongan called and said that Guo Tairui had used the pre-credit line given to them by HSBC in advance, and borrowed a sum of money from Huaxia United Bank. They have no money to invest in the UK."

President Li didn't know what happened in the afternoon, so he was taken aback and said, "Gangji shares fell by two-thirds? Didn't the market follow suit?"

He explained to Deputy Secretary Zhang, "Hong Kong Base is a Hang Seng Index stock, and the rise and fall directly affect the Hang Seng Index."

Yao Yuan said, "Yes, the Hang Seng Index fell by more than 100 points, and real estate stocks followed suit."

"At this sensitive time, will using such a method cause criticism?" Deputy Secretary Zhang was a little worried.

Yao Yuan explained with a smile, "Yu Yongan is known as a stock market reckless man in Hong Kong. He found a reason that fits with other people's plans to attack Hong Kong-based shares. There should be no problem."

"Mr. Yu thinks that Guo Tairui is not giving him face by treating Yao Yuan slowly, and at that time, Guo Tairui asked his unmarried daughter-in-law to block A Yuan and Mr. Yu at the gate, which made Mr. Yu very embarrassed." Lin Wei added.

Deputy Secretary Zhang frowned, "So arrogant?"

Yao Yuan was "spoiled" by the leaders of Guangdong Province. In the past, the provincial leaders looked up to Hong Kong, and a Hong Kong boss with a net worth of over [-] million could get a cordial reception from the provincial leaders.

Now, even if the top ten richest people in Hong Kong go to the Guangdong city to meet the provincial leaders, the provincial leaders have to check the schedule first, instead of welcoming them in person.Now the leaders of Guangdong Province are very calm when facing the big bosses in Hong Kong.

"Arrogance is for sure, and it's inevitable that they look down on the mainland, but it's nothing, and they will envy us soon." Yao Yuan didn't take it seriously.

His mentality has undoubtedly affected other people, and the leaders who participated in this meeting will change in their views on Hong Kong businessmen.

Deputy Secretary Zhang said, "You don't have to give them a good look. I have now discovered that blindly giving preferential treatment is not enough. They think we are easy to bully. It is necessary to give them a good look."

"Secretary Zhang, don't worry, I will find a way to get the centripetal force of Hong Kong rich people." Yao Yuan said.

"I'm counting on you for finance, Xiao Yao." Deputy Secretary Zhang said.

Yao Yuan said, "This is my duty. Secretary Zhang, Mr. Li, I'm afraid that Li Bancheng's investment plan in the UK cannot be stopped. I have no better way."

"It's already good. As for Li Bancheng, let him go if he wants to. A twisted melon is not sweet." Mr. Li said thoughtfully.

Deputy Secretary Zhang said, "Yes, his family alone can't make any troubles, as long as it doesn't affect other big companies in Hong Kong."

"I can guarantee that no one will go with him." Yao Yuan was very confident.

Mr. Li said, "Xiao Yao, don't worry about it."

In the next half hour, a few more things were briefly discussed. After the meeting ended, Deputy Secretary Zhang asked Yao Yuan and Lin Wei to stay.

When there were only three of them left, Deputy Secretary Zhang called the two of them to the coffee table to make tea by themselves.

"Huajiwu Railway has been approved, the news this morning." Deputy Secretary Zhang said with a smile.

Yao Yuan was taken aback, quite excited, and said, "Approved? Great, great!"

He heaved a sigh of relief.

The construction of the Huajiu Railway has already started, and what Yao Yuan is concerned about is that the Huajiu Railway, which is not long but of great significance, has finally landed.

After the construction of this more than 500-kilometer railway, the goods from China to Europe and the Middle East are no longer the only option for the Siberian Railway, and the distance has been greatly shortened.

On the basis of Huajiu Railway, Yao Yuan can promote the second railway line plan in Central Asia.

"You are a young entrepreneur with foresight and courage. This is the leader's evaluation." Deputy Secretary Zhang laughed.

Yao Yuan couldn't help thinking of that great man who passed away a few months ago. The people of the whole country lost a great leader. After all, he couldn't see Hong Kong return to the motherland with his own eyes.

With a sigh in his heart, Yao Yuan sighed softly.

Deputy Secretary Zhang felt the same way, sighed slightly, and said, "The high-speed railway plan you submitted has been studied at a provincial meeting, and in principle it is agreed to do a pilot project. Shanghai is already doing research in this area, and we can't lag behind."

He said in a deep voice, "However, the key is technology."

China's ordinary railway technology is still under development, and the high-speed railway is even more blank.

Yao Yuan said, "Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences has been doing research in this area three years ago, and we have a group of foreign experts. But to catch up, it is too late to rely solely on self-research. Now that the province has agreed, we will discuss it with the Ministry of Railways." cooperation and import a batch of technologies from abroad.”

"The province has no money, and it is mainly up to you. Of course, the province will fully support your negotiations with the Ministry of Railways. Xiao Yao, compared with high-speed railways, the subway is more urgent. The province organized experts to study the proposal you submitted. According to the forecast report of our province's future economy, the transportation of provincial capitals and cities encountered bottlenecks around 2005. We basically agree with this conclusion, and the construction of subways is imperative." Deputy Secretary Zhang said.

Yao Yuan said with a smile, "This needs to be discussed between the province and the Ministry of Railways. After all, we are a private enterprise."

"The province will not take the initiative to talk to the Ministry of Railways. We will do it ourselves first. The province will designate the Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences to be responsible for technology research and development. It will take the form of highway construction, and the Provincial Communications Investment Group and Nanfang Industrial will be responsible," said Deputy Secretary Zhang. .

The Ministry of Railways is notorious for being difficult to talk about. They are managed according to the region. A railway bureau is responsible for a region. Some areas in Guangdong Province belong to the Nanning Bureau. When it comes to the reconstruction and expansion of some railway lines, the province does not care. use.

If you want a research institution under the Ministry of Railways to engage in the research and development of the subway, Guangdong Province will not be able to control the progress by itself, depending on the face of the Ministry of Railways.

"After all, we can't bypass the Ministry of Railways, but Chunfeng Academy of Sciences can start technology research and development first. We have many Soviet experts in this area." Yao Yuan said.

Deputy Secretary Zhang said with a smile, "I knew you were already prepared."

How many foreign experts there are in the Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences is still a mystery.After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Lu Sen has been doing two things - robbing people and robbing things, and he is still doing this now.Every year, many scientists and technicians from Russia, Ukraine and other countries that joined the former Soviet Union joined the Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences. The Spring Breeze Group pours a lot of dollars into the Spring Breeze Academy of Sciences every year. Get up.

The subway technology of the Soviet Union is very powerful.

"After the incident in Hong Kong is over, I will go to Europe to learn about the track technology there," Yao Yuan said.

Deputy Secretary Zhang said, "The Ministry of Railways is going to organize a technical inspection team to go to Germany and France. It is estimated that the trip will take place in October. You can go with it."

"No need, I'll go there by myself, I still have to visit the Shidan Oil Field." Yao Yuan declined politely.

Deputy Secretary Zhang nodded and said with a smile, "You have a private jet, go there whenever you want."

He looked at Lin Wei, "Boss Lin, I heard that you have been worrying about funds recently, do you want me to help?"

"Thanks to the leadership for caring, I can overcome it." Lin Wei was flattered.

Deputy Secretary Zhang said with a smile, "I can't get dollars. It's okay to contact you for a bank loan."

It can only be Huaxia currency.

He knew that Yao Yuan had two banks, but now Yao Yuan had to deal with the international hot money group represented by Soros with all his strength, and his funds must be tight.The province can't help, so I can only help with corporate loans.

Lin Wei said, "I can still hold on at the moment. If there is a need for a loan, I will definitely trouble Shengli to contact me for help."

"Well, just speak up if you have any difficulties. Don't be polite." Deputy Secretary Zhang said, "Okay, Xiao Yao, Xiao Lin, I know you are short on time, so I won't keep you."

Yao Yuan is indeed going to Hong Kong overnight.

Deputy Secretary Zhang got up and said, "The headquarters is located here. You will have to go back and forth frequently. I will have someone issue a special pass for you. We can use a special passage at the gate here to save a little time."

"Thank you Secretary Zhang."

After bidding farewell to Secretary Zhang, Yao Yuan was in the yard getting ready to get into the car. President Chen strode over and said, "Boss Yao, I'll go to Hong Kong with your car."

"President Li, welcome." Yao Yuan knew that this senior executive of the Bank of China, who is very familiar with the Hong Kong financial market, had something to talk to him, so he invited him into the car.

A group of five cars galloped towards the pass, and President Li's car followed behind.

The strength of Bank of China in Hong Kong is very strong. The Bank of China Tower is theirs. The business focus of Bank of China is overseas, and Hong Kong is a very important base camp.

However, the current Bank of China is not the world's largest bank in the future that will raise billions of dollars or tens of billions of dollars for overseas mergers and acquisitions of state-owned enterprises, so it does not contribute much in this financial encirclement and suppression war.

In the car, after gossiping for a while, President Li tentatively asked, "Mr. Yao, Shenzhen Development Bank is doing very well in Russia. I heard that it is cooperating with Shenzhen Municipality?"

"The central bank also has a part." Yao Yuan said.

President Li smiled and said, "Our superiors asked us to speed up the expansion of overseas business. You are an expert. If Bank of China enters Russia, what is the prospect?"

"President Li, your question is too general." Yao Yuan smiled, "But I don't recommend entering the Russian banking industry."

President Li joked, "Yao is always afraid that we will steal the business from Shenzhen Development Bank."

Smiling, Yao Yuan said, "That's not true. Bank of China can't take it away, and neither can other banks. I don't recommend domestic banks to enter the Russian market now, because the situation in Russia may change. In troubled times, you can avoid it." Avoid it."

The president of the Hong Kong branch of the Bank of China is at a very high level, at the same level as the executive vice president of the Bank of China, and is a powerful faction.

Yao Yuan paused, and said, "Bank of China wants to expand overseas business, I have an idea."

"Oh? Mr. Yao, please enlighten me." President Li was very polite.

Yao Yuan said with a smile, "Société Générale has been privatized. A few days ago, some friends said that some shareholders intend to sell their shares."

"This is good news!" President Li was quite surprised and a little excited, "Mr. Yao, tell me about your plan."

Yao Yuan said with a smile, "I can facilitate the acquisition of Bank of China, but the condition is that Bank of China will transfer some shares to me. Of course, the price will not let Bank of China suffer."

"Stocks in listed companies?" President Li frowned slightly and asked.

Yao Yuan shook his head, "No, the original shares of Bank of China can be either more or less, I can do it."

"Original shares..." President Li was embarrassed.

This is beyond his authority.
