1993 was a year of internal and external troubles for China, this year Hainan real estate was destroyed, this year inflation rate was high, this year was ......

The renminbi has depreciated sharply!

10 July 1993

Jia Lei was in the mess brought to him by the bursting of the real estate bubble recently, but on this day, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the door.

"What are you doing again......" Jia Lei couldn't help but cover his eyes and said with a headache.

"I want to invite you over, I'm here to pick you up!" Zhang Wenwang said succinctly.

"I've been quite busy lately and don't have time to go, so if there's anything you can just say here?" Jia Lei said, pressing his temples.

"It's a big deal this time, we can't say it here, you have to come with me. Zhang Wenwang shook his head and said.

"What the hell is going on this time, why are you so serious? What did my godfather ask you to come to me for?" Jia Lei asked.

"Jia Lei, you misunderstood, this time it was not Wang Lao looking for you, but looking for you from above. Zhang Wenwang said, and then he thought about it and then answered.

"Top!"

"Poof!" Jia Lei was so frightened that he crooked his hand on his temple, and the whole person threw himself on the table.

"What do you say, the most ...... Why are you looking for me up there?" Jia Lei couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit and asked.

"I don't know if this matter is too secretive, please come with me, the plane is already waiting at the airport. Zhang Wenwang said.

"Damn, why do I think this plot in front of me is a little familiar? That's how you arrested me in Pengcheng back then, right? Could it be that I made another mistake this time?" Jia Lei asked suspiciously, but he couldn't think of anything out of the ordinary he had done recently.

"I don't know what you're looking for, but I certainly won't hurt you. Before I came, the leader instructed me to bring you back as a distinguished guest. Zhang Wenwang said.

"Why didn't you ask me to go back?" asked Jia Lei.

Out of the basic professionalism of a writer, Jia Lei feels that the meaning of the word "belt" is very deep!

"Hehe, I'll just say it, Jia Lei is so smart, how could he be fooled by you casually?" Fan Ping'an walked in and said.

If it weren't for Jia Lei's good eyes, he would never have recognized this person with a big scar on his face and a stubble on his face, who was the son of a family who was as tall as a pine in the capital and had a strict family education.

"Fan Ping'an, when did you come back from the Golden Triangle, and what happened to the injury on your face?" asked Jia Lei.

"I almost died on my last mission, so the army sent me home to recuperate, and this scar was left at that time. Fan Ping'an said in a deep voice, Jia Lei seemed to hear deep sadness from this sentence.

"Since you are injured, why don't you stay in the hospital to recuperate?, why did you come to me?" Jia Lei asked.

"Didn't I recuperate in the hospital just to invite you as a "distinguished guest"? I felt that the two of us were more familiar, so they sent me to be a lobbyist, in fact, I thought that it would be better to arrest you directly than to talk nonsense with you here.

Anyway, the above also said that I must take you this time

"Please" to go to the capital, whatever method we use. Fan Ping'an rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.

"Fan Ping'an, don't talk nonsense! The above just sent us to invite Jia Lei to the capital as a guest, how can you say that you are arrested, you are too nonsense!" Zhang Wenwang frowned and said unhappily, Fan Ping'an sneered when he heard this leaning against the door.

"Is there a difference between the two?

Anyway, whether Jia Lei wants to or not, doesn't he have to go back to the capital with us?

Then what kind of gentleman are you pretending to be here!" Fan Ping'an said disdainfully.

"Alright, I know what you mean! you two don't quarrel, I'll just go with you. Fan Ping'an, I know that you are for my good, but you should also understand, how can we two little ants shake the big tree?

Rather than resisting and being knocked out and taken away by you in the end, it is better to go with you honestly, since it said that I was invited as a guest, it will definitely not be bad for me.

Otherwise, you should have grabbed me on the plane and taken me away like last time!" Jia Lei analyzed that there are many meanings contained in the word "distinguished guest".

"Huh...... Jia Lei hasn't seen you for more than a year, are you smarter than before!" Fan Ping'an praised Jia Lei and said.

"I'm 14 years old this year, and I'm not the kid I was three years ago who would vomit even when I was on a plane, and I still know the severity of the matter. Jia Lei stood up and said.

"Then let's go! This time the situation is urgent, and a special plane has even been specially transferred to pick you up. Zhang Wenwang said.

"Wait! I called my bodyguards and asked them to bring my luggage. Jia Lei said.

"No! This time the matter is extremely secretive, we can't leak the slightest rumor, especially since there are a few foreigners in your bodyguards, which is even worse.

Before I came, I was specifically instructed that I would only allow you to take you alone in this operation. Zhang Wenwang shook his head and said.

"You are not allowed to disclose the news, and I am not allowed to take people there, do you want to put me under house arrest?" Jia Lei subconsciously stopped and asked, he had too many secrets on his body, and he didn't want to fall into that kind of isolated and helpless realm.

"Oh, NO! This time you misunderstood us, before I came, Wang Lao and I had a little rumor, what you are going to do this time has too much impact, and there are too many countries and forces involved, and it is actually for your own good to help you keep your identity secret.

Once what you've done this time is leaked, I'm afraid you'll be a guest on the blacklist of several countries!

Of course, if you're not afraid of leaking the news, you can bring as many bodyguards as you want!" Fan Ping'an raised a finger and shook it to warn Jia Lei.

"Damn,...... It seems that what you want me to do this time must not be above board, otherwise you wouldn't have to be so sneaky. What the hell do you want me to do?" Jia Lei asked frantically.

"The guy up there likes to say this kind of vague thing, and we don't know what he wants you to do.

But the 4 words sneaky are used very well, and I also feel this way, and the atmosphere in the capital has been really weird recently. Fan Ping'an nodded in agreement and said.

"I can go with you, but I have such a big wholesale city and several companies to deal with, you have to let me explain my work to them, right?

After entering the capital, I don't know if I can still communicate with the outside world!" Jia Lei asked, I don't know why he just had this strange feeling.

"Yes, but you only have half an hour to get things sorted out, and we really can't afford to delay the urgency of the situation. Zhang Wenwang nodded and said.

"Half an hour, that's enough!" Jia Lei nodded and said, he even had time to call the lawyer he chose in country M and leave something.

*****

July 10 at 8 p.m. in Beijing

Jia Lei was in a car with a curtain and was pulled into an unknown courtyard. Jia Lei followed the people to a 3-story building, and then he met Wang Lao and another old gentleman.

"It's rude to invite you here in a hurry this time. I want to say sorry to you!" the old gentleman said to Jia Lei.

"You don't have to say I'm sorry! It's always been my lifelong wish to see you, and I can do whatever I want. Jia Lei replied nervously with wide eyes, he said this sentence willingly.

"But I still have to say sorry, after all, what I'm going to say later may be too much for you, and this sorry should be said in advance. The old man smiled and shook his head, his eyes revealing a little helplessness.

"You are always the most sensible person I have ever met, how can you make excessive demands?

Just say it, what do you want me to do? Even if you let me go up the knife mountain and get off the oil pot, I will do it!" Jia Lei hurriedly said that few people would bear to refuse this old man's request.

After all, this old man has dedicated his whole life to the country, bringing the Chinese people from the predicament of not having enough to eat into a new era of worry-free food and clothing.

People who still have a little patriotism or conscience in everything will be in awe when they see him!

So even Jia Lei, who has always relied on his reborn golden finger to despise others, didn't even dare to sit in the face of this respectable old man.

"You're still young, how can I let you have a child to go to the knife mountain and down the oil pot!

The kind of thing that is the Daoshan oil pot should be filled in and broken by our group of old bones, I just want to borrow a sum of money from you today. The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke his purpose.

"Did you just call me to borrow some money? You just say, how much do you want?

As long as I, Jia Lei, can get it, I will definitely lend it to you!" Jia Lei immediately patted his chest and promised.

"I want to borrow $5 billion from you!" said the old man.

"Poof!" Jia Lei fell to his knees when he heard this.

"5 billion US dollars? You didn't say the wrong unit, did you? I can take out at most 5 billion yuan now, and this has to be my whole net worth. Jia Lei sat on the ground and asked.

"Of course I know you don't have that much money, I just want you to raise it through your connections, or help us get a mortgage with Citibank. The old man said slowly.

"Do you know that I am a shareholder of Citibank?" Jia Lei raised his head in surprise when he heard this.

"Well, I know! That's why I borrowed money from you, after all, Citibank has to issue an annual report every year, and it's easy to check some things.

What's more, you've been sending business cards to outsiders a lot in the past few years, haven't you?

You are a Chinese yourself, and you are so young, it is easy for someone to inquire carefully, and Anne is connected with the mysterious shareholder of Citibank.

You're really not doing a good job of secrecy!" The old man looked at Jia Lei and said.

"I didn't want to hide this for long, according to the laws of country M, the top 10 shareholders of listed companies like me must disclose their identities in the annual report.

Sooner or later, everyone will know about this, I didn't shout about it before, I just didn't want to cause trouble for myself, after all, in our national bank, it belongs to the state. Jia Lei said helplessly, and then he got up from the ground.

"What's the trouble for you to become a shareholder of Citibank? Actually, I envy you, if our government had the courage you had to buy some shares of Citibank when it was on the verge of bankruptcy, then we wouldn't be so embarrassed now......," the old man said with a sigh.

If you want to become a shareholder of Citibank, you must first obtain the consent of the government of country M, otherwise you will not be able to buy so many Citibank shares even if you pay 10 times the price.

When I first bought these shares, the FBI of country M investigated me inside and out, and then the government of country M thought that Citibank might be bankrupt, so it reluctantly agreed to let me buy these shares.

And I don't have a lot of shares in Citibank, only 4.99% of the shares, and I, a shareholder of Citibank, are just a decoration.

With such a large sum of money as 5 billion, Citibank will not lend it to you just looking at my face. Jia Lei thought about it and shook his head and said.

"I know it's hard to do, but I have to beg you now!

Our country now needs a sum of money to save lives, at least $10 billion, and a while ago we have mobilized a lot of overseas Chinese businessmen to borrow funds from them, but in the end there is still a gap of $5 billion.

Now I don't know who can come up with so much money except you, after all, you are also a major shareholder of Citibank. The old man sighed and said.

"I've always had a question, why does the state suddenly want to borrow so much money from me? I don't see any danger to the country?" Jia Lei asked puzzled.

"As you can see, the domestic economic situation is not good this year. First the stock market plummeted, and then the island's real estate bubble burst and dragged down the entire Chinese financial industry, and we had no way to raise money from the market.

Now the bank treasury is empty, and we can't borrow dollars even if we want to borrow money from the bank. In fact, since the beginning of this year, our country has been plunged into severe inflation.

Under this double blow at home and abroad, our country's RMB exchange rate began to plummet, and our country implements a dual exchange rate system, and now the RMB foreign exchange adjustment price has depreciated from the official exchange rate of 1 US dollar: 5.5 yuan at the beginning of the year to 1 US dollar: 10.5 yuan.

Some provinces and cities have even fallen below 1:11 in the renminbi adjustment price, if the government continues to allow the exchange rate to fall like this, then we will soon follow in the footsteps of Russia and enter a vicious circle of inflation.

You have been staying in Russia for the past two years, you should know better than me what the consequences of this hyperinflation will be, right?" the old man asked Jia Lei in a solemn tone.

"I know it! The consequences are too serious, and if the renminbi exchange rate really falls to that point, we will be like Moscow, and we will be looted by Western countries with only a few million dollars. Jia Lei nodded understandingly.

"I, an old man, can't watch this happen, so I'm going to borrow this money from you for emergencies. After all, our country's total foreign exchange reserves are only about 20 billion, and this money is definitely not enough to fight an exchange rate war. The old man explained.

"Don't worry, even if I use up this life for the motherland, I will not give up, and I will definitely help you raise this money. Jia Lei immediately nodded when he heard this.
