Chapter 1061: Hearings

A muddled phone call. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Han Xuan couldn't figure out why Fat Ding got the inheritance, even if he had relatives, it should be a cat.

Could it be that a relative left a salted fish or a rat for it?

Totally can't figure it out.

Executive Anthony didn't know the specific situation either, and the lawyer didn't say much, Han Xuan planned to go to Philadelphia to understand the situation in person after he was busy with things here.

I came to the Four Seasons Hotel to book a room, and in the luxuriously decorated executive suite, I took a bath after washing.

Put on your pajamas, drink a glass of milk before going to bed, enjoy the night view of Washington outside the window, and then climb into bed and hug the fat ding, and sleep until dawn......

The next morning, I got up and put on my suit, and when I was ready, I set off.

The weather in May was already very hot, and the sun hanging in the air baked the earth, and the air conditioner in the car was turned on so that it would not sweat.

The headquarters of the Federal Reserve is a white building, different from the traditional Gothic, the pillars at its entrance are square, and it is not clear that the specific style is visible, but it is quite distinctive.

It's a very lively place today.

As far as the eye could see, it was full of reporters and police officers who had come to maintain order, and luxury cars drove one after another, and those who got out of the cars were all executives or directors of major banks.

The reason why it is so lively is that today the US Federal Reserve will announce its decision on whether it will raise interest rates again.

Decisions will affect economic fluctuations on a global scale, and those financial journalists are naturally very concerned about this.

When Han Xuan arrived and saw the Rolls-Royce team with a single digital license plate, many reporters who knew who the owner of the car was, immediately rushed to him.

Han Xuan's attendance today was a surprise to these reporters, and when the bodyguards helped open the car door, a reporter from the Wall Street Journal asked loudly: "Han, are you also here to attend the hearing today?"

"That's right.

It's good when I don't exist, I just happen to be in Washington, D.C., and stop by to have a look. ”

Han Xuan replied to reporters.

Today's meeting was not important, he came more for symbolic purposes.

Being able to participate in Fed hearings indicates that East West Bank's status has improved compared to before, which can increase East West Bank's influence.

Mr. Greenspan had already told him in advance last night that the current round of rate hikes was confirmed.

He didn't need to speak at this meeting, just sit next to him and listen quietly, and if you have any questions, you can ask the Fed to answer them at the hearing.

The upcoming meeting is just the Fed Governing Council, which explains to them, the Fed bankers, why the interest rate is being raised, and holds hearings on the future economic outlook for the United States and monetary policy.

Similar hearings are held by the Fed every six months, usually in June.

Next month, President Alan Greenspan has a tight schedule and needs to travel to five countries in succession, so he brought forward the meeting in the first half of this year......

Hearing the reporter ask if he supported this interest rate hike, Han Xuan replied with a smile:

"Absolutely.

When international liquidity flows into China, our U.S. economic market will be more prosperous, and residents will have more employment opportunities.

The stock market, the property market, and all kinds of consumer markets will all develop rapidly as a result, and I agree with Mr. Greenspan's decision this time. ”

The answer was too official, too formal, and that wasn't what the reporters wanted.

So a reporter from the Washington Post dug a hole and asked Han Xuan, "So what impact will this have on other countries?"

What impact can it have, the economic development rate is slowing down, Han Xuan thought to himself.

"Not long after the economic crisis ended, once the market in the United States stabilized, we, the entrepreneurs, have the ability to drive the development of other countries, which is a win-win situation," he said.

For example, in the next 10 years, I will invest at least more than 3 billion US dollars in China, and I am personally very optimistic about the market there.

After all, it is a large country with a large population, and the consumption potential has not yet been fully exploited......"

In the crowd, the Xinhua reporter who heard his words was instantly excited, and a sentence of Chinese popped out of his mouth, shouting: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, our company is already making arrangements in this regard and sending people to inspect the market environment, so this rate hike is not necessarily a bad thing for other countries.

Sorry, the meeting is about to start, I need to come in now, and I'll talk about it when it's over......"

Journalists from Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and other countries are envious in the face of such a large investment amount...... It's like an overturned vinegar bottle, full of sourness.

But there is no way, who made him Chinese?

Han Xuan invested in the country of his compatriots, and no one had any reason to say anything, they only blamed their overseas compatriots for not being angry and failing to achieve such outstanding achievements as Han Xuan.

The Xinhua News Agency's expatriate correspondent had a triumphant expression.

immediately urged his colleagues to send this news back to China, such a large amount of foreign investment has not appeared since the reform and opening up......

Han Xuan squeezed out of the crowd under the escort of bodyguards and hurriedly walked towards the gate of the Federal Reserve.

This face is known to everyone in the United States, and the Federal Reserve staff did not ask him to show the invitation, nor did he search his belongings like others, and led Han Xuan inside.

The interior decoration is not too luxurious, and it can even be said to be a little shabby.

It is hard to imagine that an institution that manages the issuance of dollars would actually work in such a place, making tens of billions of dollars in profits every year, and it will not be short of money for decoration, but it can only be said that it is very low-key.

Busy saying hello all the way, old acquaintances from Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and other companies came, and at this time, he heard someone calling his name, and the voice was very familiar, Han Xuan stopped and turned around, and found Bloomberg and Soros walking together.

The badges on their chests were different from his color, and Han Xuan came to attend as the chairman of East West Bank and representatives of members of the Federal Reserve, and these two were representatives of the financial investment community.

Soros has been a regular at Fed meetings, and he was able to learn from the hearings about the latest financial developments in the United States and the rest of the world in the coming period.

Mr. Bloomberg was a first-time visitor, and Bloomberg News was now well established in the financial world and its influence was growing, so it was only natural to invite him.

The more the top class, the smaller the circle.

Almost all the people who came to participate today, Han Xuan knew or heard of them, and it was not strange to meet these two, so he smiled and said, "Good morning, let's go in together."

Mr. Soros, what do you have experience with participating in hearings, and what do you need to do during that time?"

"You don't have to do anything.

The content was very boring, and the meeting was very long, I am afraid that it will not end until four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

But don't worry, we'll be given about half an hour to lunch, a very unpalatable little bread.

I asked the secretary to prepare something else, and brought it to me after the morning meeting, so that we can eat together, and the portions are enough. ”

Han Xuan smiled bitterly.

After getting acquainted with this old man, you will find that he is actually interesting...... (To be continued.) )
