Chapter 4: The Intersection of Fates

"You...... Are you Mr. Zhang Fan of ZF Future? ”

Zhou Yang slowly got up and looked at Zhang Fan in disbelief.

Flat-headed, 23 or 4 years old, white shirt jeans...... This is too far from what he imagined to be the 'ZF future'. He even began to suspect that this person was a prank played by the gentleman and him.

"Hmm." Zhang Fan nodded a little stiffly, now he was nervous and embarrassed.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. I'm sorry, I thought you were ...... You may be seated! ”

Zhou Yang temporarily suppressed the sense of disparity in his heart and immediately called the waiter.

Zhang Fan stopped and said, "Thank you, I won't drink coffee." ”

"How about a drink? Hehe, I have a stomach full of questions I want to ask you now, I'm afraid I'll ask you thirsty. ”

Saying that, Zhou Yang looked at Zhang Fan and said, "I really didn't expect that the scholar in my mind is so young, you won't be pretending, right?" ”

"No one should be pretending to be me." With the other party's joke, Zhang Fan's excitement was slightly lowered: "To be honest, I didn't expect this post to attract the attention of reporters. ”

"It's not a good thing to be too modest." Zhou Yang closed his notebook and said with a smile: "Your article is very well written, I have been guessing the identity of the author before you came, by the way, I would like to ask how old you are this year?" ”

β€œ21。” Zhang Fan took the orange juice handed by the waiter.

"So young?" Zhou Yang's curiosity instantly rose: "I just talked on the Internet, you work in the electronic world, how can you understand economics so well?" Are you majoring in a related field? ”

Catering to his curious gaze, Zhang Fan pursed his lips and smiled: "Actually, I don't understand economics and I haven't gone to college." ”

"You!" Zhou Yang was shocked again: "You didn't lie to me, did you?" Didn't you write that article? ”

"I wrote it." Zhang Fan nodded and said: "Actually, you should see from the article, I am not a person who understands the economy, and it was not until this morning that I figured out what the 'subprime mortgage crisis' meant." ”

"I wrote this post because of a brain fever, but I didn't expect it to attract your attention, Mr. Zhou."

"This ......" Zhou Yang felt that this interview was a bit ridiculous, a person who claimed to understand the economy and did not know what the 'substandard goods crisis' was actually wrote this kind of commendable article.

If you think about it carefully, there is really no technical jargon in the post, it is all conjecture, to be precise, it is more like 'prophecy and guidance'.

"Looking at his gaze, it shouldn't seem like a joke. A person who doesn't understand economics can write so reasonably......"

"Do you want an interview with Mr. Zhou?"

Zhang Fan saw that he looked at him silently for a long time, and felt a little embarrassed, after all, people came for experts.

"Uh, of course, of course." Zhou Yang picked up the pen and casually asked about the idea he had when he wrote this article.

The more he talked about it after that, the more surprised Zhou Yang was in his heart!

The 21-year-old young man in front of him was able to explain the impact of the international financial crisis on China and the opportunities encountered by China so clearly!

Zhang Fan's explanation and thinking are indeed not from a professional perspective, so two sets of words came to Zhou Yang's mind - 'wisdom and foresight'!

People with a long-term vision are often better than those with expertise.

Because professional knowledge can only limit him from thinking from a professional point of view, while a person with a vision can see the big picture, or even the future!

At this time, Zhou Yang finally understood what the meaning of "future" in "ZF Future" was!

At 6:30, the conversation between the two ended, and Zhang Fan declined Zhou Yang's invitation to dinner and left the cafΓ©.

Looking at the back at dusk, Zhou Yang's heart was still in the 'incredible': "This kind of vision and wisdom is more like he was born with it." It's hard to believe if you don't see it with your own eyes......"

"Do you want to recommend it to Dad?"

……

Yanjing.

At 7 o'clock, many Chinese people were already sitting at the dining table, eating dinner while watching the news broadcast that had been broadcast for decades.

However, Guo Wenlai still buried his head under the lamp and completely ignored his wife's shouts.

As a direct participant in economic reform, no one can better understand the impact of the current financial crisis on China and the opportunities it has generated.

Don't look at the fact that the outside world in China doesn't care much about the financial crisis, in fact, these economic experts and scholars will receive an invitation from Zhongnanhai almost five miles away.

Since 07, Guo Wenlai and a group of special old experts in Zhongnanhai have begun to pay attention to and discuss relevant response plans, but they have adopted a relatively conservative strategy.

With the news that "Lehman Brothers will sell $40 billion in assets" in the United States in August this year, the central government began to move.

Just yesterday, Zhongnanhai held another meeting to discuss the issue of 'crisis resistance and economic transformation'.

Guo Lao's point of view is very clear, this financial crisis is not only a difficulty, but also an opportunity! With the vigorous development of China's manufacturing industry, the country's economy is maintaining steady growth.

But there is an old saying that 'prosperity and decline, things must be reversed', manufacturing is excessive, demand is saturated, and then it is the time for large-scale enterprises to go bankrupt. So transformation is a must.

In Lao Guo's eyes, if Huaxia does not change from 'Made in China' to 'Huaxia ChuangzΓ o', then it will not be able to become a big country and a strong country in the future.

Since June, he has been actively building a lot of papers in Zhongnanhai, and he has offended a lot of people.

"I said, Comrade Guo, are you still eating? If you don't eat it again, I'll pour it to Xiao Huang. His wife Huang Xiuhong walked into the study angrily.

"Xiao Huang is your father? You are so good to him. Guo Wenlai asked without raising his head.

What made his wife laugh when he asked, Huang Xiuhong laughed angrily: "You don't want to be seen with your stinky mouth!" Yesterday, I met the old horse's mouth, saying that you are in Zhongnanhai 'let go of the peg', and the old horse is angry to eat the quick-acting heart pill? ”

"You are also a cultural person, what do you mean by a big peg?"

Guo Lao took off his glasses and got up and said, "It's not that I'm angry with him, it's that he is too conservative in his thinking, and I don't agree." Now the country's economic development needs to be turned, and whoever stands in the way will be a big rebel and bring disaster to the country and the people. ”

"Okay, okay, I don't understand your set." Saying that, Huang Xiuhong seemed to remember something: "When I was cooking just now, your son called, saying that Tianshan has an article about the financial crisis that is very good, so you can read it freely." ”

"It seems to be called "The Financial Crisis ...... That Can't Be Ignored"."

"Oh?" When Guo Lao heard this, he casually opened the notebook beside him. He is also a regular visitor to the Tianshan Forum, but he never makes any comments.

Click on the [Economic Section], and see that the number of replies to that post has reached more than 2,000 people, and the number of clicks has exceeded 100,000.

The poster was like a hermit and never showed up.

……

"Good !!"

"Well written!"

As soon as he saw half of it, Guo Wenlai couldn't help but slap the table, which frightened his wife Huang Xiuhong to regress violently.

"You dead old man, scare me to death!"

"What is it written on it that makes you surprised? When did the central government say that it would 'stimulate domestic demand'? ”

"You don't understand." Guo Wenlai stared at the page and commented: "See, this is what people with level and foresight write about." ”

Who would have written it? Lao Liu? No, the old man eats foreign ink and thinks too Western...... Go! Bring me some pieces of paper, I'm going to make a copy of this article. ”

"Good, good, you're amazing." Huang Xiuhong turned her head and took out a few pieces of A4 paper.

Guo Wenlai manipulated the mouse that he was not very proficient in and copied the content to the office software one by one......

After the printing was completed, Lao Guo used a stapler to bind again.

How did he know that 95% of the content of this article was his opinion after 5 years. But in all respects it was far more mature than what he was thinking about now.

"Nonsense!"

"What's the matter?" My wife asked.

"Look at what kind of nonsense these people are talking about, they don't understand the country's economy, and they have to apply the same way as Westerners." Guo Wenlai pointed to a reply and said angrily.

"Okay, people express different opinions, what are you anxious about?" Saying that, his wife remembered the meal again: "I said do you still eat this meal?" If you don't eat it, I'm really poured! ”

"No matter how hot you are, I'll go after I'm done." After speaking, Lao Guo put on his glasses again and buried his head under the book lamp.

……

Pengcheng, peaceful community.

"How is the door open? Got a thief? When he came back from dinner, Zhang Fan saw that the door was open, and he suddenly jumped.

He cautiously looked around, protecting the shoulder bag on his shoulder with one hand and touching his mobile phone with the other, the most important thing for him now was not his personal possessions, but the radio in his bag.

"Ah, it's Xiao Zhang back, you see how embarrassing this is." The landlord, Aunt Li, greeted people with a smile on her 'Fang Pu' face.

She was also followed by a twenty-year-old girl, who looked and looked similar to her, but she looked very embarrassed when she faced Zhang Fan, and her cheeks were red and hot.

It turned out that Aunt Li heard from the neighbor that two people who were renting with Zhang Fan had left, and Zhang Fan's phone was down, so she thought that Zhang Fan was in arrears of rent and ran away, so she opened the door and came in.

"This is my daughter Xiaojun, who has just been admitted to our Pengda. Jun's name is brother. ”

"Hello Brother Fan, my name is Zhao Xuejun." Zhao Xuejun's voice is gentle and shy, and it makes people feel very comfortable to hear it.

"Xuejun......" Zhang Fan seemed to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while: "Oh hello." Auntie, you're here to collect rent today, right? ”

"Yes, yes, you see...... It's not easy for me to open your door, mainly because of that Granny Zhang, who said that you were not at home for the past two days......" Aunt Li explained with a smile.

"It's okay aunt. I'll go get you the money. Zhang Fan nodded and smiled, walked to the bedroom and took out 1,300 yuan in cash.

After receiving the rent, Mrs. Li smiled and said, "By the way, Xiao Zhang, I want to ask you if you can live next month?" I know you're not doing it right now, but if you live next month, you'll get a thousand dollars. ”

"Thank you, Auntie, I have no plans to change houses for the time being." Zhang Fan said with a smile.

"That's good, then Jun and I will go first. You're tired for a day and have a good rest. With that, Mrs. Li pulled her daughter out of the room.

After seeing the two away, Zhang Fan returned to the bedroom and thought about the financial problems he had to face.

Counting this month's salary and a deposit of 1,000 yuan, he only has 3,700 yuan left.
