The next day, Hu Yuze came to Xiao Chen's office very early, as a secretary, even if he has not officially become Mayor Xiao's secretary today, he must come to Mayor Xiao's office early and tidy up the office meticulously. This is not only to make a good impression on Mayor Shaw, but it is actually his basic job.

Of course, as Xiao Chen, who was already familiar with this, naturally he would not feel any surprises, nor would he be surprised. just said hello to Hu Yuze very usually.

Hu Yuze responded with a smile, and then when Xiao Chen entered the office, he thought to himself, sure enough, Mayor Xiao is a very punctual person, and he basically came to the office about 10 minutes in advance.

In fact, after Hu Yuze knew that he had been preliminarily selected yesterday, he found the phone number of Huang Rui, the new mayor of Xingling Town, Dingqing District, and asked him about Mayor Xiao's work and living habits, and this 10 minutes early to the office is one of them.

Xiao Chen came to the office, looked at the surrounding furnishings, and then looked at the cup of red robe on the table, and smiled slightly, it seems that this Hu Yuze really deserves to be a person who has been polishing in the agency for more than ten years, and he is indeed more experienced than Huang Rui at the beginning.

Xiao Chen shouted: "Yu Ze, come in." "One of the privileges of leadership, don't look at my age than you, is that you can just call by name.

Hu Yuze hurriedly responded, calmed his breath slightly, relaxed, adjusted his appearance, and entered Xiao Chen's office.

Xiao Chen looked at Hu Yuze, who was slightly nervous, and smiled: "Don't be nervous, I don't eat people." ”

Hu Yuze smiled when he heard this, and really relaxed a little, Xiao Chen said: "Well, it's actually very easy to do things in my place, some things in life, I don't have to trouble you too much, you just deal with some of the usual documents and some itinerary arrangements, write general speeches, and I will write important speeches myself...... That's pretty much it, you know? ”

Hu Yuze nodded and said, "Okay Mayor Xiao, I know, I will definitely do things seriously." The simplest statement is probably this sentence of "doing things seriously", but this sentence is the conclusion he came to after listening to Huang Rui's introduction. He found that the current municipal axe leaders are very similar, they all value people who can do things, so he will mention "doing things seriously" as soon as he speaks at this time, and there are many empty words.

Sure enough, Xiao Chen was more satisfied, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then the first thing, you sort out the detailed report on Anle Paper sent by the mayor, I need to see a more concise material, okay?" ”

Hu Yuze hurriedly nodded and responded: "Okay, Mayor Xiao, I'll do it, you see...... When to do it? ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "As soon as possible, understand earlier, plan early." ”

Hu Yuze saw that Xiao Chen's attitude was gentle and polite, not as flamboyant as a young and ambitious cadre, and he was not used to the big frame of his surname after being a leader, he felt a lot more relieved, and went out with a smile.

Xiao Chen was just about to take a look at the information when the phone rang.

In the past few days, Xiao Chen has received a lot of phone calls, and the people in the family who know his news have all called him to congratulate him, including Su Ning, Yue Xiaolian, Xu Fei and even Yan Weiyu have called one by one, especially grandpa actually called him personally and said for more than ten minutes, which is what he was particularly surprised about.

Originally, he thought that his grandfather would definitely talk to him for his choice, saying that he didn't know about Zang Feng and the like, but he didn't expect that his grandfather didn't say it this time, but just asked about the recent situation, and instructed him to "stand upright and work steadily." Then he asked: When will you get married?

Xiao Chen's scalp was a little numb at that time, and said, "Grandpa, this is ...... There's no hurry, right? I'm not ready for this......"

Xiao Lao scolded lightly: "Nonsense, what are you not prepared for?" Executive Deputy Mayor, it's all the deputy hall, you're not married yet, what do you want? Do you want a future? ”

Xiao Chen was a little speechless, and said, "The girl I know ......"

Xiao Lao interrupted: "You come over and come back to me this year, your grandmother has found it for you, I have met the little girl once, the conditions are very good, you come back and meet with others, that's it." ”

Xiao Chen's eyes widened, and he didn't believe that this was what his grandfather said, although he knew that his marriage would definitely be ten likely, but he didn't expect that his grandfather would pick a good person for him so directly, and then meet "It's okay, that's it." He originally thought that this matter was just grandma there, but he didn't expect that grandpa would also participate, which made him really unable to adapt for a while.

After thinking about it, he also knew that since his grandfather had said it clearly, he really couldn't help himself, so he had to respond with some grievances. Xiao Lao coughed at this time, and then hung up the phone directly.

But after Xiao Chen received a call from his uncle that night, he was shocked.

After Uncle Xiao Zheng congratulated him on his promotion, his tone became a lot heavier, and he said, "Xiao Chen, do you know your grandfather's condition?" ”

Xiao Chen suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Zheng sighed and said, "Actually, I didn't plan to tell you that in 05, there was a ...... Almost, at that time, the central side was already ready, and the hospital side almost decided to announce it...... Later, I actually survived, this time...... Just a month ago, there was another problem, and now the situation is not very good...... I know the old man's thoughts, what he wants most now is to see you start a family, and even want to see your great-grandson. ”

Xiao Chen was stunned, speechless for a while, and then asked in a heavy tone, "Grandpa is ...... now?" Are you okay? ”

"Bedridden." Xiao Zheng only said two words, but each word was like a hammer, directly hitting Xiao Chen's heart, heavier than thunder.

"I'll be back ...... right now," Xiao Chen stood up.

"Now that you're back, do you want to him off?" Xiao Zheng's tone was sudden.

Xiao Chen's straight back bent weakly, and he sat down on the sofa softly, muttering, "Then what should I do?" I can't sit back and watch ......."

"You can't help anything!" Xiao Zheng said solemnly: "This time the condition is actually not as serious as the last time, and the hospital is nervous, but I didn't say anything serious." When you come back now, you will naturally do your best in your grandson's filial piety, but the old man may not be happy! The old man is asking you to come back at the end of the year, right? ”

Xiao Chen nodded, and hummed in a somewhat choked tone.

Xiao Zheng sighed lightly: "Your grandmother originally planned to call you back, but the old man refused, saying that your time was very critical...... This time, the old man didn't say that you rose fast, right? ”

"Hmm......" Xiao Chen was a little speechless, so he could only hum again.

"The old man is also afraid that he will go too fast, and now our family is ...... If the old man leaves now, don't look at the scenery we are now, maybe nothing will happen at that time. He only cares about the country and the nation all his life, even for political opponents, he has done everything to leave a line, and even the four people helped him to kill him at the beginning, but at this time, he finally knows that it is time to think about it for our juniors......" Xiao Zheng sighed.

Xiao Chen knew the reason for his sigh, in fact, Uncle Xiao Zheng has a high prestige in the banking system, as early as ten years ago, there were many voices, hoping that he would be the governor of the central bank or the minister of finance, but his grandfather tried his best to oppose public opinion, and he had to continue to press him in the position of vice governor. Xiao Chen knew that the uncle still had some opinions on this decision in his heart, but even he didn't dare to object to the old man's intentions.

Xiao Chen heard the third aunt talk about "grandpa is very indulgent to his grandson" last time, and he is still single. It is no wonder that Xiao Lao wants to urge this time, and the organization assesses cadres, and the family situation is also an important part. It's just that he didn't know that when the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee read out the materials for the inspection of his cadres this time, the family situation was actually one word: omitted.

After Xiao Zheng asked these words, he smiled again and comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, this time there should be no danger...... But what level are you at now, and you're too busy to celebrate the New Year every year? Ah, I was the number one in the first two years, so forget it, how can I find time this year, right? ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "Well, yes, I'll be back at twenty-five this year." ”

Xiao Zheng nodded and said yes, and then hung up the phone. In fact, Xiao Chen had promised Mayor Zhang to accompany him to a laid-off enterprise for the New Year, but now it seems that this trip has to be canceled.

Xiao Chen laughed when he saw this call, and after connecting it, he said: "Auntie, you are getting busier and busier now, how about it, Yahoo and Google are doing well, right?" ”

Qin Qin smiled and said, "That's right, the speed at which I make money now is not slower than your promotion." Little guy, don't say hello when you're in the deputy hall, executive deputy mayor, it's quite majestic, right?? ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "That's not comparable to your aunt, just talk about the house, I will scare you to death if I say the house I divided this time." ”

My aunt smiled: "Why are you scared me to death?" ”

Xiao Chen laughed: "One bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, a total of 50 square meters, how about it, it's shocking enough, right?" ”

Qin Qin was really surprised over there: "How can you live in fifty square meters?" "There are very few houses in the United States, but there are very few such ones, and she is particularly surprised that Xiao Chen is in the deputy hall, why the house is getting smaller and smaller.

Xiao Chen smiled: "Actually, there are enough people to live in, the house of the municipal axe is divided, and it is the old house before, so that's it." But now I heard that the Municipal Axe Office is discussing whether we can also get a fund-raising building, if we do, I will also get one, it is said that it is only about 40,000 or 50,000, and it can live in 120 or 30 square meters. ”

Qin Qin was a little disdainful, and said, "I really don't know what you're worried about, with your net worth, is it strange to buy a big villa?" Afraid of what people say? Just let them check, the New Year's money I gave you last time was enough for you to buy a large villa complex, which is legal property recognized by American law. ”

Xiao Chen smiled, but did not answer. It's good to have money in the family, but it's not easy to show off in the past two years, and now there are not many people who "get rich first", Xiao Chen doesn't plan to behave too unconventionally at this time, and in a few years, everyone will be open-minded, and it doesn't matter at that time.

Xiao Chen didn't speak, Qin Qin naturally knew what he meant, so he didn't say much, and asked, "I really can't figure out something about it." ”

Xiao Chen snorted: "What's the matter?" ”

Qin Qin asked curiously, "Why did you know that Yahoo and Google could make money so early?" Why? ”

In fact, Yahoo is making money now, and Google hasn't really risen yet.

The Google Search project was developed by two Stanford Ph.D. students, Larry Brown. Page and Sergey. Founded in early 1996, Brin developed a search engine based on a precise analysis of the relationships between websites, and his results were superior to the basic search techniques used at the time. At the time, the project was called BackRub because the system needed to check the backlinks to estimate the site's important surname.

Convinced that the pages that get the most links from other highly relevant sites must be the most relevant pages, Page and Brin decided to test this as part of their research, which laid the foundation for their search engine. At the moment they are still researching, so their profitability is not being revealed.

But Xiao Chen naturally knew how powerful Google would be in the future, so he let Xinlan Group acquire it in advance. In fact, Google was not officially established at this time, and they originally founded Google on September 7, 1998, in a friend's garage in Menlopark, California. In February 1999, before moving to Google Plex, the company moved into 165 University Street in Palo Alto, California, where many of the famous Silicon Valley start-up technology companies are located.

But Xiao Chen knew that the future Google search engine would win Internet users with its simple, clean page design and most relevant search results. Ads are sold as keywords so that they only appear for the end user who is interested, and, in order to keep the page design constant and fast, the ads appear in the form of text. This concept of selling ads by keyword was originally developed by Overture (i.e., the original Goto).

Google's rise is unstoppable, but it won't do so until the beginning of the 21st century. But it is impossible for Xiao Chen not to take advantage of this.

Yahoo, on the other hand, has succeeded ahead of Google, but even if it does, it is still very unprofitable in nature. Yahoo's current success is actually the success of technology stocks, its actual corporate income is very low, but the stock price is rising again and again, and now the value of the part of the equity controlled by Xinlan Group has soared I don't know how many times, but as the controlling party, Xinlan Group itself has not made much profit from its business. But at least this convinced Qin Qin that Xiao Chen's gaze was accurate, and after further contact with these high-tech companies, Qin Qin also believed that this was the trend of the world in the future, and its market was unlimited, and it was difficult to saturate.

It's just that Xiao Chen couldn't explain this problem, so he had to say: "I don't actually know that they will definitely make a lot of money, but I know that technology stocks will make a lot of money, which is a trend problem." ”

Qin Qin was naturally dissatisfied with this explanation, but Xiao Chen couldn't help it if she didn't say it. Xiao Chen naturally couldn't explain it. It is impossible for him to tell his aunt that in 1999, the Nasdaq stock market will rise by 85.6 percent, the Internet stock Yahoo will hit 58 new highs in a row, and the biggest increase will be the Internet stock QUA, which will rise from $26 to $659, driving the Dow Jones stock index up 25.2%. The world's biggest gainer is Hong Kong's Pacific Century Digital Power, which has risen 500 times in eight months.

Qin Qin asked, "Aren't you worried about how big the bubble is?" And I know that ChinaAMC's tech stocks are also skyrocketing, aren't you worried? ”

Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Actually, I think all these phenomena give people a kind of enlightenment: to think about the new concept of the stock market. U.S. stock indices rose too much and began to fluctuate violently, raising fears of a depreciating dollar and a stock market crash, and even talk of the collapse of the U.S. economy and triggering a global economic crisis. How to understand the 'new economy' and the 'stock bubble' in the United States has a bearing on predicting the prospects of the global economy, as well as on the concept of the Chinese stock market, its adjustment direction, and its development prospects. In my opinion, the theory of 'US economic bubbles' is a traditional concept that attempts to mechanically regulate the stock market according to the "price-earnings ratio," which not only hinders us from correctly understanding and learning from the experience of US economic development, but is also not beneficial to the development of China's stock market. The new stock investment concept should first of all be to create a concept, start the stock market, promote the development of new industries, and promote economic restructuring. "The stock market is to speculate on the future", and "speculation on the future" is to speculate on the future economic development prospects to encourage shareholder confidence, speculate on emerging industry stocks, and realize the stock price after speculation, so that emerging industries can get funds through the stock market, pass the high-risk venture capital stage as soon as possible, and complete the "original accumulation of funds", so as to develop rapidly. ”

Auntie smiled: "Then what do you think of the position of listed companies in emerging industries in the stock market?" ”

Xiao Chen thought about it slightly, in fact, he had thought less about this issue recently, and after a while, he said: "Only listed companies in emerging industries can achieve excess profits and become the pillars of the stock market. Auntie, you should know that the American economy was quite bad in the 70s, but it continued to develop steadily in the 90s, based on the so-called 'new economy' (knowledge economy). The knowledge economy is represented by high-tech industries, which use computers as the main tools, and communication networks become the 'infrastructure' of the new economy. The U.S. stock market is bound to become a hotbed for the high-tech and cyber industries. Road. Since Black Friday in 1987, the Jones stock index has soared from 3,000 points to 14,000 points, mainly driven by the surge in Internet stocks. As for the bubble, don't worry about this, even if the bubble really bursts, it won't be us who will lose the most. ”

Xiao Chen's point is relatively dark, and he really doesn't feel distressed at all when he loses the money of the American people.

The aunt smiled: "You, you, the American people have an enmity with you?" ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "No, in fact, I am very pro-American." ”

The aunt rolled her eyes over there and hung up the phone directly.
