Zhuang Jianye frowned when he heard this, picked up the coffee that the waiter had just served, took a sip and asked, "Just so not optimistic about our Tengfei Group?"

"It's not that I'm not optimistic about your Tengfei Group, but I'm not optimistic about your entire country?"

Liszt said, raising his chin towards the floor-to-ceiling window, Zhuang Jianye looked over, only to see countless people flocking in outside the door of a state-owned department store not far away, and the banknotes in their hands were desperately stuffed into the salesman's hands as if they didn't want money, and then they swept away the contents of the container regardless of whether the contents were useful or not.

As for the young people who are hurrying away on the street with color TVs and washing machines, the aunts whose baskets are stuffed with cabbage and salt, and even the children whose pockets are full of matches and rubber bands are too many to count.

In fact, not only these passers-by, but also Zhuang Jianye's home is like a warehouse, which is full of his wife Ning Xiaohui and father-in-law Ning Zhishan like hamsters, so that Zhuang Jianye doesn't know where to put his feet when he goes home.

That's it, the two in the family are still not satisfied, and they called Aunt Li next door to make enough toilet paper for three years, and the second uncle Wang upstairs made two snakeskin bags of edible salt to make a fortune, and this little thing in his own house is still too little, and he has to buy and buy when he wakes up tomorrow morning.

That's it, Ning Zhishan Laozi handed over the coffin book of more than 5,000 yuan to Zhuang Jianye, and asked him to see if he could get big items such as color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines, no matter how expensive and expensive the flowers were, it was best not to have a penny left.

In addition, the old man also called Ning Xiaodong and Ning Xiaoxue, the brothers and sisters, and issued the most severe instructions after retirement, and the central idea was to spend all the money in his hand, consume it, and use it up.

Fortunately, the brother and sister have seen the world, and they didn't do what the old man said, otherwise this family would be really crazy.

In 1988, the tenth year of reform, many things entered a new stage, and the reform projects that had been superficial in the past had to make new adjustments, and even some areas had to be changed.

Among them is the most sensitive price reform.

Due to the long-term implementation of the planned economy, domestic prices have always been in accordance with the state's guide prices, but this has also led to too much administrative intervention and lack of flexibility.

Therefore, starting in 1984, the state proposed the reform of the "dual-track price system" in accordance with the state's guiding price and the unplanned implementation of the market adjustment mechanism.

At first, the effect of this gradual reform was okay, but soon there were people with a keen sense of smell who discovered the huge loopholes in the dual-track price system and started the business of buying and selling, and soon this trend intensified in the country, and the term "down-to-earth" with the characteristics of the times appeared at that time, and was also made up by the masses of the people "One billion people are 900 million down, and there are still 100 million people looking for", and behind this there are inevitably many vicious cases.

Therefore, from the end of 1987, the state proposed price reform, and in 1988, it demanded the abolition of the "dual-track system", the full liberalization of prices, and the implementation of a "one-step" type of "price breakthrough".

The starting point of the reform is good, but this "one-step approach" clearly underestimates the economic law, that is, the long-standing planned economy has led to the operation of goods at low prices for a long time, and inflation has been artificially suppressed.

This is like a pressure cooker, the fire of economic laws is constantly burning, and the artificial lid is held down until nothing, but once it is suddenly lifted, the whole pot has to explode to the sky.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia and Eastern European countries were ready to completely liberalize prices and embrace the market economy in one step, but the result was that the old foundation accumulated by the Soviet Union for decades was completely blown up by this time.

And before them, there was such a bombing in the country in 1988.

Prices are like riding on a rocket, and the banknotes in the hands of the people quickly become worthless, and all kinds of products are more valuable in comparison, so a large-scale rush to buy swept the country.

The economic chaos caused by this is self-evident, although Tengfei Group has not suffered the impact of the rush to buy, but the price of raw materials continues to rise, and the depreciation of the funds in hand is like mercury, which also makes Tengfei Group encounter unprecedented financial difficulties.

This is still Zhuang Jianye's previous continuous reduction of scale, divestment of main business, reduction of debt scale, and continuous increase of corporate liquidity, in order to barely maintain today's fundamentals.

If he had expanded like other factories, borrowed money to operate, and fell into the triangular debt pit, Zhuang Jianye would still be able to drink coffee here?

But Rao is so, Tengfei Group's cash flow is still tight, and the higher-level ministries and commissions are not in a hurry, but the money that can be used has depreciated before it reaches the hands of the enterprise, coupled with the soaring prices of various raw materials and various shortages, the company is not very useful to get these money.

But what about the introduction of other hard currencies?

seems to be one of the feasible solutions, but international capital ......

"Zhuang, since I left McDonnell Douglas, I have focused on investment in China, put aside everything, we only talk about economic interests, China is not a good investment destination at this time, because there is a lot of uncertainty here, we don't know how long the inflation here will last, the investors behind me are very rich, but as you Chinese often say, their money is not blown by the wind, we invest also to make money, the timing is good, of course we will invest, but now ......"

looked at Zhuang Jianye, who had been looking out the window, put down the coffee in his hand, and said something that seemed to be true but was actually cruel, and shrugged helplessly, saying that now is not a good opportunity for investment.

Zhuang Jianye turned his head to look at the capital broker who recently resigned from McDonnell Douglas and began to focus on acting as an agent for American capital to invest in China, and smiled slightly: "Then when do you have to have a good opportunity?"

"At least observe it for another half a year, because the uncertainty brought about by severe inflation is too great, so big that ordinary people dare not imagine, of course, Tengfei Group has always been the subject of my focus, and your ability has also been recognized by the investors behind me, as long as you agree, we can pay a premium of 30% on the basis of the quotation of 400 million US dollars, and inject capital into Tengfei Group. ”

"In exchange for 20% of the shares?"

"No...... Banker, is 40%, of which 10% is for you. Liszt shook his head, quite the style of a capital tycoon.

Zhuang Jianye didn't expect the other party to be so generous, not to mention throwing hundreds of millions of dollars of real money, but to give himself 10% of the shares, what is this for? Cultivate yourself to be an oligarch in the domestic aviation industry?

For a moment, Zhuang Jianye was full of emotion, that is, in China, if he was in Russia, he might have nodded and shouted capital daddy Ula~~.

"How about it, Zhuang, do you want to think about it?" Liszt looked at Zhuang Jianye opposite him playfully, and Zhuang Jianye nodded with a warm smile: "Well, I will think about it seriously." ”

"Okay, I'll have a meeting later, so I'll take my leave. Liszt greeted politely, then got up and picked up his coat, passed by Zhuang Jianye, and strode away in a blink of an eye.

And Zhuang Jianye, who had his back to Liszt, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and the depths of his eyes were full of coldness......
