Monday, January 21.

The Peninsula Hotel, with flying streamers and no firecrackers.

A huge banner was unfurled in front of the hotel's main entrance, reading, "Congratulations to Mitsui and Sumitomo Foundation on the successful signing ceremony of the first Japanese yen trust bond underwriting right of CITIC Trust."

In the large conference hall on the top floor of the hotel, journalists from all over the world gathered.

From Xinhua News Agency and other domestic media, to the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and other top financial media in other countries, they all sent interviewers.

Long guns and short cannons, clattering non-stop.

This kind of news will not be cared about by the general public, but people in the business community absolutely care, so even if only 1 million people around the world see it, it cannot be said that the matter is not big enough.

Just as the Wall Street Journal has only a few hundred thousand subscriptions, will its influence be lower than that of tens of millions of yellow tabloids?

Because of the manpower of the Wall Street Journal, there are 200,000 top bosses, executives and investors in the world. The influence of these 200,000 people can exceed the 4 billion poor people at the bottom of the world.

At this moment, what is happening in the conference hall on the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel is such a historical event that is not lively, but definitely of high grade.

The chairman of the Mitsui Foundation, Inada, personally signed the underwriting agreement for the "20 billion yen special trust bond for the first phase of the Baosteel Continuation Project".

Chairman Ukawa of the Sumitomo Foundation also signed the "10 billion yen special trust bond for the first phase of the Yizheng Chemical Fiber Project" in the same manner.

Then there was the Chinese boss of CITIC Trust, who signed his name on two documents signed by the Japanese side.

New China's first shot of yen trust bonds was successfully fired at this moment.

And it is very gratifying that the Japanese side does not charge higher interest on bank deposits than in the same period. Previously, they only focused on the prospects of the project, confirming the vision and management ability of the Chinese side in selecting the project and managing the funds, and then they subscribed.

The final 5-year interest rate charged was only 6% per annum, which was an absolute low interest rate in 1980.

(Note: To clarify here, it is still more generous to send money in the early years of the change, with no interest and low interest.) It should be viewed separately from the period of internal contradictions in which the right-wing hatred of China shifted after the economic deterioration of the country. At that time, the biggest obstacle and worry on the Japanese side was that they were afraid that the money would not be used to the cutting edge. In the documentary "Deng Weiren at the Turning Point of History", he bluntly mentioned:

In the early days of the construction of the Baosteel project in '79, the Chinese side had the problem of extravagance and waste, that is, the borrowed foreign capital spent lavishly. Later, the Japanese side suspended follow-up financing, and only after China cleaned up economic problems in 82 years, enacted a bunch of new laws, and strengthened supervision before resuming the money. It's not what I said, you can watch CCTV films by yourself. ）

Because of the butterfly effect of Gu Wei's model project, the historical process of introducing foreign capital and helping domestic construction in the form of trust bonds has been advanced by more than a year.

Yizheng Chemical Fiber, which was supposed to be suspended for 81 years, and Baosteel, which was suspended for 82 years, were resurrected ahead of schedule.

More importantly, the experience and model model of engaging in trust bonds have been summed up in advance.

From the perspective of the State Commission on Foreign Investment, perhaps in a year or two, there will be no greater achievements in the whole country.

Xiao Sui stood beside Gu Biao and witnessed this moment of history. She relied on the admission ticket obtained by Gu Biao, and entered the venue in the name of the family members of the guests, and she was dressed in a decent dress, but it was not eye-catching.

For the first time, she found that her man was so great, not just to make money for herself, but to overcome obstacles for the country and open up a new sky.

"You are so powerful, so great, can I write about your deeds. Xiao Sui's inner artistic temperament exploded again, and there was a sense of heroism that witnessed the wheels of history rolling forward.

At that moment, she felt a little unreal, but more desperately wanted to follow this man, record everything about him like a believer, and be his confidante and heart-to-heart recorder.

Everything else was superfluous, and even brought only a burden, making her feel the heaviness of her body, unable to ascend to heaven overlooking all beings with that noble soul.

"Are you tired? I just went to the hospital yesterday, so I have to come to watch the ceremony noisily, or I don't want to rest next to it." Gu Ao's heartwarming response pulled Xiao Sui back to reality.

"What's the matter, what's so tired, people are excited. Xiao Suijiao complained about Gu Wei's bad scenery.

A small physical ailment is nothing at all.

Besides, she didn't take medicine to reject the abnormality, and last night she was completely in accordance with the guidance in the small manual, relying on the lotus nursing therapy for conservative treatment.

On such a solemn occasion, the two took advantage of the fact that the cameras of the Wall Street Journal were facing the rostrum, and then secretly flirted in the blind corner behind the cameras.

This level of excitement is comparable to President Clinton's presence in the White House Round Office and having Lewinsky squatting under his desk. It can stimulate the woman to feel the sense of historical heroism.

Well, as an aside, Comrade Bill later insisted that his statement "I did not have XX with XX" was not "perjury" under the accusations of the independent prosecutor Starr. The reason is that "I didn't interact with it, I just sat on the presidency and accepted one-sided verbal services." Sexual-conduct, on the other hand, is an interactive verb in the English dictionary.

……

At the end of the ceremony, reporters and Japanese foreign guests left the venue one after another.

Gu Biao also finished the last shift to cooperate with CITIC and was ready to leave.

The rest of the work in front of me is to discuss with Sir Shao and the charter king about returning to Hujiang - the procedures on the Hujiang side, Director Bao called him yesterday for international calls, saying that it has been done, and the head of the year will go to 414 again for a vacation, inspect the "half-year appointment" made with the tourism department of Hujiang City, and then be able to write the inscription.

However, just as Gu Biao was about to leave, the big boss Mr. Tong called out to him.

"Xiao Gu, wait a minute. ”

"Boss, do you have any other orders?" Gu Biao asked respectfully.

Boss Tong glanced at Xiao Sui and asked with a kind smile: "At a young age, you already have a girlfriend?"

Gu Biao euphemistically worded: "Let you see a smile - this classmate Xiao is a comrade-in-arms who has been to the United States with me, we are really attracted to each other, so we ......"

"Eh, I'm not here to torture you. Boss Tong waved his hand to stop it, and then took out a gold pen from the inside pocket of his suit, which seemed to be the same one he used when he signed with Inada and Chairman Ugawa just now.

Gu Biao was stunned for a while, but Boss Tong smiled kindly: "Don't be nervous, this pen was given to me by the Prime Minister when I went to the Great Hall for a banquet for the first time 30 years ago." On that day, I sat at the second table, just as you did when you entertained Matsushita and Chairman Morita. The prime minister asked me how old I was, laughingly called me a 'young Zhuang faction', and gave me this pen.

Now looking at the way you mediate foreign guests, I am reminded of the courage I had when I was young. The future belongs to young people, and you are the new generation of 'young Zhuang faction'. I'll pass it on to you, I hope you do it yourself. ”

Gu Biao was flattered for a while: "This ...... This is a souvenir left for you, and I'm afraid it's not good to give it away. ”

Boss Tong said magnificently: "I have a lot of memorials, only this one, it should always remain in the hands of the Shaozhuang faction." I hope that in thirty or forty years, when you find young people who are promising and willing to serve the country, you can continue to pass them on. ”

"Then I'll be disrespectful. Gu Biao cautiously took the pen with both hands, and then watched the boss leave.

Xiao Suiru watched all this from the clouds, feeling that she was surrounded by a strong sense of honor. I was stunned for a while before I came back to my senses.

"Husband, can you let me touch your pen?" she pleaded with pitiful and eager eyes.

also dangled Gu Ao's arm with his chest, more gentle and aggrieved than the woman begging to buy watermelon on Douyin.

Anyone who came from that indescribable era has more or less a bit of a cult of personality.

"Touch it. Gu Biao generously extended the pen to her.

Xiao Sui trembled and slowly stretched out his hand, just touched the pen, retracted it like an electric shock, and then pulled Gu Biao straight to the bathroom.

"What are you doing! You won't let go when you enter the women's toilet!" Gu Biao saw that he was pulled to the door of the women's bathroom, and hurriedly broke free of his girlfriend's hand.

Two minutes later, Xiao Sui, who didn't know how many times he had rubbed the soap, finally came out with a pair of white-brushed hands and touched Gu Fu's pen.

I believe that if there were steel wool balls in the bathroom, she would definitely wash her hands with steel wool balls.

"It's something that a great man used, and I couldn't wash my hands for a week after taking it. You have to put a plastic bag on your hand to take a shower. Some inopportune thoughts were running around in Xiao Sui's mind, and finally he forcibly suppressed those wrong thoughts, but tears came out of his eyes.

There shouldn't be a cult of personality, but my husband is just so good, and he has no solution.

There were several Xiangjiang female guests who participated in the signing ceremony, including middle-aged and young people, who came out of the bathroom and looked at Xiao Sui with strange eyes, like a mentally ill person.

"There's something wrong, and it's not a valuable thing, Da-Lu Cai is really uninformed, and the golden pen is excited like this. ”

Xiao Sui suddenly exploded: "What do you know, this is ......"

"Eh, state secrets, don't talk about it. Gu Biao covered Xiao Sui's mouth and pulled her away.

Xiao Sui realized his mistake at this time, but he gladly accepted Gu Biao's domineering drag away, and he was still very proud in his heart.

"Anyway, my husband is amazing, so many big people are optimistic about you. Whatever my husband says is right, I will listen to you for everything in the future~" She was obsessed with twisting candy, and her heart was very beautiful.

Gu Biao patted Xiao Sui's buttocks to set an example: "Okay, don't make trouble, come with me at noon to have a light meal with Sir Shao's charter king, don't be rude." I had to tell the two of them about the news that Director Bao informed me on the phone last night. Tomorrow we will leave for Hujiang. ”

"Well, no, I won't embarrass you in the future. Xiao Sui is completely like a bird, immersed in the sense of being conquered.
