Chapter 426: Kick it

"Who does Chairman Zhao represent?"

Hu Wenming was not surprised, Zhao Xicheng would not do anything that threatened his safety, otherwise the domestic anger would be absolutely unbearable for a Chinese in the United States. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It is true that Fumao Group has a big business, and Zhao Xicheng can be regarded as a leading figure in New York. However, the core ruling class in the United States, just because he is Chinese, there is absolutely no room for him to intervene.

But to say that Zhao Xicheng has nothing to do with the United States is not right.

As far as Hu Wenhai knows, Zhao Xicheng's youngest daughter, Elaine Chao, will serve as secretary of labor in Bush's cabinet in the future.

In the Chinese circle in the United States, the Zhao family is undoubtedly a politically active family.

To say that the Zhao family's entry into American politics began with Elaine Chao is probably unreasonable. It is also conceivable that Zhao Xiben himself has some government channels in the United States.

So when Hu Wenhai heard his question, his first reaction was, who does Zhao Xicheng represent, and who wants to win him over?

Zhao Xicheng smiled softly, shook his head, and said: "Mr. Hu is worried that I am a lobbyist for the US government? I don't think it's accurate who I represent, and the only person I can represent is myself." But to talk about this question, many people may want to ask Mr. Hu. ”

"Compared with China, which controls capital, there is no doubt that the United States is more suitable for your development. To be honest, whether it is technical talent, business talent, or even invisible luck, Mr. Hu's ability can be said to be breathtaking. ”

"For the same effort, you can get much more in return in the United States than in China. If Mr. Hu can shift the focus of the industry to the United States, it will be easy to be a spiritual leader among Chinese Americans. That's the question I and a lot of people want to ask. Many of China's outstanding talents are eager to live in the United States, and if Mr. Hu also has this wish, it can be said that it can be easily realized. ”

Zhao Xicheng's words are full of sighs: "With the wealth and ability of Mr. Hu, the richest man in the world, the life, freedom and wealth you can enjoy in the United States will definitely be much richer than you are in China." ”

"I don't doubt it. Hu Wenhai nodded, then shook his head again. He felt a little bit why he had a bad premonition about the title of "the richest man in the world".

What would Americans think of a non-white, non-Western, or even non-developed world's richest man if this statement spread in American society?

The fragile pride of white supremacy can't bear the fact that it can't bear it, right?

Of course, this is good news for Chinese Americans. In particular, if Hu Wenhai can come to the United States to develop, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of Chinese Americans. The Chinese have never been recognized in American society, not only because the Chinese are not enthusiastic about politics, but also because the Chinese have never had a core.

How did the politically correct "Black Lives Matter" in the United States come about? It cannot but be said that "ihaveadream" has played a great role. But in the history of Chinese in the United States, it is not easy to find a Martin Luther King.

Of course, Hu Wenhai does not have such great appeal, but a Chinese richest man in the world can undoubtedly bring great cohesion to the Chinese community in the United States.

On the other hand, it is estimated that there are also people within the US government who will be interested in Hu Wenhai.

Even if the vast majority of people think that Hu Wenhai is the white glove of the Chinese government, the power he now wields is not to be underestimated.

For now, because of Hu Wenhai, China earns at least two billion extra dollars from the United States every year. That's not all, as China's imports from the US have slowed by at least 1% due to a series of project investments led by ST Group.

China's investment in scientific research, which was originally compressed after the reform and opening up, is now showing signs of gradual recovery.

Many think tanks focusing on Asia and China have highlighted the increasingly prominent role of Hu and ST Group in China.

If Hu Wenhai, a "white glove" who can be persuaded to immigrate to the United States, the President of the United States will definitely be willing to issue a one-ton medal to the Immigration Bureau......

The truth is, that's pretty much how it should be. When it comes to a successful person of Zhao Xicheng's level, it is impossible to develop him into a spy agent or something, regardless of whether it is an FBI, CIA or NSA or something.

Hu Wenhai touched the wine glass in his hand, and the red wine in the glass was said to be produced by a Chinese winery in Italy. There is only one trademark of "Qin's" on the bottle, and nothing else can be seen. As you can imagine, this is a "special" red wine.

If you want to talk about the country, when it comes to enjoyment, it is indeed not comparable to the United States. Even personal freedom and capital freedom are also inferior to those of the United States. Everyone knows that the United States is a country of capital, and as long as there is enough money here, the quality of life is much better than that of China.

Zhao Xicheng dared to provoke this topic, obviously with a certain degree of confidence and was able to convince Hu Wenhai.

This confidence means that the United States has comprehensively surpassed China in terms of its national strength and capital environment.

"Chairman Zhao is a businessman, I think what a businessman does to make the most money, you should know it, right?" Hu Wenhai did not answer his question directly, but turned around and asked.

"Is Mr. Hu talking about LΓΌ Buwei? Of course, investing in a regime makes money, but the risks are also huge. Especially in today's mainland, don't you feel a little stormy?" Zhao Xicheng shook his head and said: "Of course, the mainland's national strength has grown rapidly, but its attitude towards capital has always wavered. If there is a slight change in policy, as a banner, I am afraid that it will be an earthquake immediately, right?"

"Oh, Chairman Zhao knows a lot about China. Hu Wenhai nodded: "In recent years, the policy has indeed been constantly oscillating, but in my opinion, the general trend of opening up is beyond doubt." ”

"With all due respect, no matter how open the mainland is, its attitude towards capital will not be the same as that of the United States. Zhao Xicheng's tone was also very firm.

"That's right. ”

Hu Wenhai's approval made Zhao Xicheng a little excited: "Then why don't Mr. Hu come to the United States, with your ability and capital, combined with the power of the Chinese business circle, we may be able to take a step towards conglomerateization......"

The characteristic of the American consortium is the "military-industrial complex", which is not the same as the so-called "coal-iron complex". The coal-iron complex is an industrial layout, an industrial base formed by the integration of resources and energy of traditional industries. The military-industrial complex, on the other hand, is a structure of integrated rights.

The military-industrial complex, as the Americans call it, is a huge interest group composed of the military, military-industrial complex and some politicians. The tense international situation during the Cold War led the United States to invest a lot of resources in the military industry, which in turn led to the rapid expansion of this bloc. And after the Cold War, the basis of American deindustrialization, the dollar, and American global hegemony became America's invincible military power. The military-industrial complex has since become the foundation of the United States and the foundation of its world domination.

The military-industrial iron triangle coupled with financial investment banks is the origin of the power of American conglomerates. However, none of the so-called top ten consortia in the United States belong to the Chinese.

In the eyes of Zhao Xicheng and his high-level Chinese circles, Hu Wenhai's existence can undoubtedly make up for the lack of strength of the Chinese consortium.

First of all, Hu Wenhai has strong technical strength, and almost every technology in his hands is priceless. Secondly, he has a keen eye for the development of the military industry, even Hughes and Raytheon are deeply threatened, and Grumman has a close relationship with him, and it is said that he is deeply involved in the process of technological innovation of the Chinese army. In the end, he has abundant capital, and although the achievements of China Railway Construction Investment Bank in China are inseparable from the support of the Chinese side, they also prove Hu Wenhai's own investment vision.

In addition to the lack of military support and government power, Hu Wenhai seems to be on the road to forming a consortium of military-industrial complexes.

Hu Wenhai glanced at him lightly and shook his head. Zhao Xicheng's personal ability is naturally beyond doubt, and Fumao Group can be said to be the leader among Chinese businessmen. However, there are some things that are still missing a lesson for them after all.

"With all due respect, if Chairman Zhao's idea, or the idea of your circle, is like this, it would be a bit too ...... Childish. ”

Zhao Xicheng graduated from Jiaotong University in 1949 and went to the United States that year. As you can imagine, he is a very "old-school" person. has outstanding personal ability, but the environment in which he grew up has doomed him to dare not rely on forces other than himself.

Whether it was 49 years ago or 49 years later, Zhao Xicheng did not experience the feeling of a strong country standing behind him.

These people who ran out of the mainland in those years may be able to make some achievements personally, but they will inevitably miss classes in terms of world outlook.

"Chairman Zhao and I don't think the same thing, and I think ******** will achieve as much as the United States. Hu Wenhai put down the wine glass in his hand and looked into the distance by the railing: "If the Chinese do not have a strong country behind them, they will not have the confidence to seek power politically." This is different from the blacks, who do not have a 'motherland', let alone a commendable national culture, but the Chinese do. When blacks come to the United States, they have only one identity, and that is American. Looking at the glass ceiling of the existence of Chinese in American society, I think Chairman Zhao will feel this truth more deeply than me. ”

"But if there is a powerful country behind the Chinese, it is even less likely that the United States will let the Chinese into the core circle of power. In the United States, Chinese can only be second-class citizens forever. Any tentacles of power reaching up to the top are not only impossible, but rather dangerous. ”

"There may be some temporary difficulties and limitations in China, but all achievements belong to us and we don't need charity from others. ”

"I think that's what matters more than power and wealth. ”

After Hu Wenhai finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhao Xicheng, shook his head and said, "What's more, Chairman Zhao thinks that the United States is really that good? The U.S. economy is quite fragile, and what appears to be prosperous on the surface is actually overwhelmed by the foundation. ”

"What does Mr. Hu mean by this?" Zhao Xicheng was taken aback and couldn't believe it: "Now the U.S. economy is quite prosperous, and the employment rate and operating rate are very good. Although there are economic bubbles, they are by no means fragile. ”

If this is said by another person, Zhao Xicheng will only be regarded as an idiot's dream. But when Hu Wenhai said it, it was thrilling enough.

Even if Zhao Xicheng has strong confidence in the U.S. economy, he has to think repeatedly about whether he is too negligent, is the U.S. economy really on the edge of the cliff?

Judging from various indicators, the current situation of the US economy can be called healthy, the social economic development is stable, and economic prosperity is absolutely not a faΓ§ade.

Hu Wenhai smiled and didn't say much. By this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the stairwell leading to the balcony, and there was not much time left for the two of them to talk.

"I will stay in the United States for about a month or two, and if Chairman Zhao is interested, you can pay attention to the U.S. stock market. For these two months, I'll try to kick the U.S. stock market. When the time comes for the U.S. economy, you'll get an answer. ”

As soon as Hu Wenhai's words fell, Qin Kai had already walked out of the stairwell.

Qin Kai stood by the door and didn't rush over: "Mr. Hu, the ...... has been arranged below."

Zhao Xicheng glanced at Qin Kai, and the expression of the deep frowning brows before instantly turned into a polite smile of the guest and host: "Since Mr. Hu still has work to do, I won't bother more." If you have any needs, just ask, and I will be satisfied. ”

"It's already very troublesome Chairman Zhao, so I don't dare to bother too much. Hu Wenhai got up and stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zhao Xicheng.

With Qin Kai by his side, Hu Wenhai and Zhao Xicheng didn't talk much about the previous topic. The two walked to the door of the villa together, and after a few more greetings, Hu Wenhai watched Zhao Xicheng get into his own Mercedes-Benz car.

It wasn't until Zhao Xicheng's Mercedes-Benz drove out of the door outside the villa that Hu Wenhai and Qin Kai turned around and went back to the villa.

"The stock market?two months?" Zhao Xicheng leaned back on the car seat, his brows furrowed unnaturally: "Ah Fu, after returning to the company, you ask Secretary Song to sort out the recent information on the U.S. stock market for me." ”

"Yes, sir. Driver Ah Fu's hand did not shake in the slightest, and his voice was as smooth as his car.

What can Hu Wenhai do in the U.S. stock market in two months? Could it be that he can't buy Hughes Co.

Just kidding, it's impossible to think about it. Zhao Xicheng shook his head in his heart, Hughes Aircraft Company was acquired by General Motors for $5 billion in 1985, and merged with Deke Electric and Hughes Networks to form Hughes Electric. Today, it is conservatively estimated that the market capitalization is also more than $10 billion. Although Hu Wenhai has money, if he wants to buy Hughes Electric from General Motors, which is not short of money, even if the US Congress agrees, he does not have such a large capital.

"Kick the U.S. stock market", Hu Wenhai's words are like a spell, surround Zhao Xicheng's mind.

What will he do? Could it be that the US economy can really be "kicked" by Hu Wenhai? This is simply a fantasy, and no one dares to imagine telling fairy tales to children.

However, looking back at what Hu Wenhai has done, Zhao Xicheng is really a little suspended in his heart for the miracles he has repeatedly created.

"It seems that I need to contact some more people to analyze this matter. Zhao Xicheng closed his eyes and cleared his mind, just thinking for such a moment, he felt as if his head was about to explode. (To be continued.) )
