"Comrade Licheng, while you and I have time today, you can tell me, what kind of person is this Lin Youlun?"

The vice premier finished the last chapter of "Currency Wars" with great interest, leaning on the back of his comfortable circle chair, raising two uninhibited eyebrows, and his slender eyes shot a sharp light, staring directly at Huang Licheng, who was sitting opposite.

Facing this old leader, who has always been known for his strictness, Huang Licheng subconsciously sat up straight, with a little reminiscence in his eyes.

"In '86, a group of Hong Kong businessmen went north, and a Hong Kong filmmaker who had dealt with me before approached me, and he approached me, hoping that the mainland could open up the market to Hong Kong films, and at the same time strengthen the cooperation between the film circles of the two places. The matter was so extensive that I could not give him a definite answer in that situation. The next day, the old chief met with the Hong Kong industrial and commercial delegation in the Great Hall of the People, and in front of the old chief, others said some nice words, only he said something out of place, which roughly meant that the development of Hong Kong films was in danger, which attracted the attention of the old chief, and he was asked to ask about the situation alone that night. ”

"Being able to stick to your own point of view in this situation shows that this person is still very good."

The vice premier nodded, and then motioned for Huang Licheng to continue.

"At that time, he made a movie called "True Lies", in which some weapons and planes of the US ** team appeared, and this movie caused great repercussions after being introduced to the mainland, and later when they met, the old chief asked him that the equipment and weapons of the US military were really so powerful, and he replied that the strength of the US military only showed a little bit of skin in the movie, and people, including the old chief, felt that his words were a bit exaggerated, and who thought that the military strength shown by the United States in the Gulf War in 91 really surprised everyone.

Lin Youlun has been received by the old chief many times before and after, and the deputy prime minister knows about this, but this is the first time he has heard of Lin Youlun's prediction of the strength of the US military, and his eyes can't help but show more interest.

"Is his vision really as accurate as you say?"

"After I came to Hong Kong to take up my post, I specially reviewed his relevant information, which is in the eyes of ordinary people. He started by writing novels and making movies, but in fact, the first pot of gold he really made his career came from 85 years of investment in foreign exchange speculation. ”

As soon as Huang Licheng's words fell, the vice premier immediately thought of something.

"You say he used the Plaza Accord to hype up the yen?"

Huang Licheng didn't dare to hide it. I carefully explained the situation I had to the deputy prime minister.

The Vice Prime Minister's upper lip was slightly pursed, and a thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes.

Judging from Huang Licheng's introduction, Lin Youlun's operation method is very similar to knowing in advance that the five congresses of the United States, Japan, Britain, France and Germany signed the Plaza Agreement.

Being able to survive several stock market crashes and real estate price fluctuations in Hong Kong unscathed, it is estimated that few people will believe that Lin Youlun's success is completely due to luck.

"So he also knew that the central government would issue a document to control real estate development, so he withdrew all the funds before the collapse of the property market in Hainan?" The Vice Prime Minister's words changed, and his gaze suddenly became stern.

Huang Licheng secretly complained in his heart, what he was most worried about at this meeting was that the vice premier would ask about it. I didn't expect that I couldn't avoid it in the end.

"In fact, I also had doubts about this at the beginning, but judging from the time of his withdrawal, there is still more than half a year before the collapse of the Hainan property market. This would have been more profitable, and most of the money he withdrew had been invested in the development of Pudong, and if he really wanted to make money from the mainland, then the funds should have been transferred elsewhere long ago. ”

Seeing that the vice premier wrinkled his brows and slowly loosened, Huang Licheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that this level should have passed.

"Have you read the manuscript of his book in its entirety?"

Huang Licheng nodded.

"How does it feel?" The Deputy Prime Minister asked again.

Huang Licheng read this book three times before and after, and when he read it for the first time, he only felt very shocked. The second time I read it, I started to think about some of the problems mentioned in the book, and the third time I read it, I finally found some problems.

"The insight is very original, but I always feel that the content is a bit exaggerated, just like the Rothschilds, if it is really as powerful as he said in his book, why don't many people know about the existence of this family now?"

"The Rothschilds were really thriving. It is considered to be the most influential multinational financial company at least in the 19th century, and it has a place in today's international financial system, but it is not as mysterious as the book says, and I disagree with some of the views held in the book, that the financial industry is one of the most competitive industries in the modern economy. However, its industrial structure is far from that of monopolies, on the contrary, the financial industry is the most regulated industry in the modern economy, and its business activities are strictly regulated by governments such as ministries of finance, central banks, full-time financial regulatory authorities and even international organizations. As the book deliberately describes, there can be no so-called 'international bankers' with mysterious powers, who are above national governments and even international political and legal systems. ”

The vice premier's words made Huang Licheng stunned.

According to common sense, Lin Youlun should not have made such a low-level mistake, but he wrote it like this in the book, no matter how you look at it, this thing is a bit abnormal.

Seeing Huang Licheng's frowning, the vice premier knew that he had understood the meaning of what he had just said.

"Could it be that he deliberately wrote like this because he wanted to attract readers?"

Huang Licheng tried to put forward such a hypothesis, which the vice premier had already thought of.

"This is an explanation, but have you ever thought that Lin Youlun is different from ordinary authors, he is not short of fame and fortune, and he gives up the rigor of his works in order to attract readers, this reason cannot be explained by him."

As soon as the vice premier said this, Huang Licheng realized that he had indeed thought about the problem too simply.

"Revealing such a big flaw, he is not afraid of attracting criticism? I'm afraid he did this on purpose to divert everyone's attention. ”

Huang Licheng was confused, could it be that there is still some unknown secret hidden in this manuscript?

"That's exactly what I'm thinking about." The deputy prime minister pointed to the stack of manuscripts on the desk, "I don't know if you have noticed, the last chapter of this book mentions that a currency strangulation war may break out in Asia in the future, and this crisis has now shown some premonitions, combined with some problems in the economic development of Southeast Asian countries in recent years, the crisis predicted in the book is likely to break out in the near future." ”

Huang Licheng has seen the discussion of this chapter in the book, which is nothing more than that there are some loopholes in the financial system of Southeast Asian countries, and if you do not pay attention to prevention, it is very likely to attract the coveting of international funds, and according to the view in the book, these people can be seen behind the outbreak of every economic crisis in the world.

Such an idea would certainly attract a lot of attention when taken out on its own, but in a book like "Currency Wars", which is full of new ideas, it is not so conspicuous that it can even be easily ignored.

"What do you mean, Lin Youlun wants to send an early warning to Asian countries through this book?"

The Deputy Prime Minister nodded.

Huang Licheng then asked: "Then why doesn't he directly make this point of view clear, isn't it easier to achieve the goal?" ”

The deputy prime minister sighed softly: "According to the manuscript, the international tour capital may have begun to lay out for this currency strangulation war now, if the point of view is directly put forward, it will inevitably attract the jealousy of these people, and he is only putting this point of view as a speculation now, and the point in the book itself is not very rigorous, it will inevitably attract many people to question, so at most it will arouse the suspicion of those people, and will not attract targeted retaliation." ”

Huang Licheng asked puzzledly: "Since this matter is thankless, why does he still do this?" ”

The deputy prime minister was silent for a long time, and finally slowly spat out two words.

"Hong Kong!"

"Hong Kong?" Huang Licheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly seemed to understand something, and his face changed drastically and said, "Are these people crazy?" Even Hong Kong refuses to let go? ”

"Since those people dare to attack the idea of Southeast Asian countries, how can they let go of Hong Kong? What's more, there are not only economic factors, but also political intentions. ”

Speaking of this, the deputy prime minister couldn't help but have a touch of melancholy in his eyes.

According to Lin Youlun's judgment in the manuscript of the book, it is very likely that this financial crisis, which may engulf the entire Southeast Asian region, will erupt after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and if these people are allowed to succeed, the economic damage to Hong Kong will be absolutely devastating.

And if Hong Kong's economy collapses, even the rationality of Hong Kong's return will be questioned.

At this time, Huang Licheng understood why Lin Youlun took such pains to remind the mainland government, not because of how high his consciousness was, but because his interests were deeply tied to Hong Kong, and if Hong Kong's economy collapsed, he would also suffer huge losses.

"Then why didn't he explain it directly to the central government?"

"If you say this kind of thing directly, will you believe it?" The deputy prime minister asked rhetorically.

Huang Licheng was speechless for a while, but he couldn't answer.

The deputy prime minister sighed, "Don't say that you don't believe it, even I don't believe it, and even suspect him of ulterior motives, and he is also very smart, and he chose to publish a book, which not only serves as a reminder, but also does not bring too much trouble to himself." ”

After listening to the vice premier's words, Huang Licheng suddenly realized that when Lin Youlun left the manuscript, he probably expected that this manuscript would be sent to the desk of the central high-level, but he definitely did not expect that this manuscript would be sent to the vice premier in charge of the economy by himself first, and it would be so highly valued by the other party.
