Chapter 490: Don't Believe in This Evil
Sure enough, the news provided by Wang Zheyi made Qin Hai feel the crisis of Yan zhòng.
The meson fund is an important financial speculation fund in the United States, and its operation is characterized by constantly looking for economic flaws in various countries, and then participating in the disruption with strong cash flow to maximize the benefits in the chaos. When the country was tossed to the point of dying, and there was no more oil and water, the meson fund floated away, and then went to find its next prey.
The debt turmoil in South America and the catastrophe before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union can all be seen in the black hand of the meson fund. Especially in the process of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the meson fund manipulated the ruble and obtained billions of dollars in profits, which caused the long-term downturn of the Russian economy later.
This time, the news that the Chinese government will liberalize the control of the means of production reached the ears of the senior management of the meson fund, who are very sensitive to realize that this is another good opportunity to turn the clouds around. The Soviet Union and China were the two largest planned economies in the world, and when the former collapsed, Western brokers made a lot of money. Although China is not collapsing this time, it will certainly be able to find flaws in the process of changing from a planned economy to a market economy. With such a huge empire, just rubbing a little skin is enough for the tycoons of the fund to have a fat year.
The fund has a very strong research department, and they are working at full speed to collect all kinds of statistics about the Chinese economy, and even use economic spies to go to China to learn about some hidden matters. Based on the information of all parties, the fund concluded that if it could invest US$10 billion in the Chinese market and encourage local speculators to participate, the prices of China's means of production could be completely out of control in the process of institutional change.
Changes in the prices of means of production will inevitably fluctuate to the prices of consumer goods, and there will be hyperinflation of up to 50 percent or even 100 percent or more in China. If it works properly. In the process, the fund will be able to make a huge profit of no less than US$10 billion.
In this plan, the researchers took into account a variety of factors, including the possibility that the Chinese government, if it is unable to stabilize prices, may borrow at high interest rates abroad in order to import goods to fill the supply-demand balance. The meson fund is also profitable in this matter, because when the Chinese economy is in turmoil. No matter how high-interest foreign debt is, the Chinese government can only grit its teeth and accept it.
Pittston came to China with such a plan, and it was he who brainwashed Sun Zhenjiang and asked him to gather as many fox friends as possible to participate in this large-scale material hype. Of course, if the speculation is successful, Sun Zhenjiang and others will indeed be able to make a lot of profits, and the Jie Zi Fund does not mind supporting a group of parasites in China because of their sheep shearing operations against China. It definitely won't be the last.
Of course, what Wang Zheyi learned could not be so comprehensive. Nominally, she worked as a department manager for a Chinese-funded agency in Peru, but in essence she was responsible for important intelligence gathering. Insiders she developed in Peru revealed to her about the global contraction of the Fund, and described what she had learned from talking to people within the fund who had access to high-level secrets.
Wang Zheyi has a deep family history and is very sensitive to things at the national macroeconomic level, plus in several phone calls, she once heard her father talk about the reform of the means of production system, combined with the intelligence of informants. She guessed the truth of the matter at once.
In accordance with normal procedures, Wang Zheyi synthesized the information and reported it to his superiors. The superiors realized the importance of this matter. also knew the relationship between Wang Zheyi and Wang Hongsheng, so at the same time, Wang Zheyi directly reported the matter to Wang Hongsheng. After Wang Hongsheng heard the news, he directly told his daughter Qin Hai's phone number, and asked her daughter to tell Qin Hai in detail.
Wang Hongsheng did not choose to convey this matter to Qin Hai by himself, but hoped that Qin Hai could think of some questions that he did not expect, and then ask Wang Zheyi for verification. And in fact. After listening to Wang Zheyi's narration, Qin Hai asked some questions, all about the characteristics of the operation of the Meson Fund in South America, and to understand these characteristics. It will help the Chinese side to make a targeted response to the provocation of the meson fund.
"Zheyi, thank you, the information you provided is very timely. If we don't know about this, they are in the dark, and we are in the light, and maybe we will suffer a big loss. Qin Hai said with a somewhat grateful tone.
"Yo, it turns out that our President Qin will still say thank you." Wang Zheyi said in a weird manner.
"All the time." Qin Hai said with a smile.
The two of them gossiped a few more words, and Wang Zheyi hung up the phone. It is indeed quite expensive to cross the ocean, and Wang Zheyi uses the publicly-funded telephone on the unit, so he is really embarrassed to say more. What's more, if you are already on different sides of the world, saying more words will only cause sadness in vain.
Putting down the phone, Qin Hai sat at the desk and was stunned for a while, then picked up another phone and informed the front desk to invite Ning Zhongying and Song Hongxuan to his office again.
"Finished calling?" When Song Hongxuan walked in the door, he had a somewhat teasing smile on his face.
"Is it Director Wang's daughter?" Ning Zhongying pretended to be unaware and asked.
Qin Hai knew what they were thinking, and he didn't want to explain too much, after all, some things were getting darker and darker. He pointed to the sofa, invited the two of them to sit down, and then said, "The call was asked by Director Wang to come over, and she informed me of a very important situation that had a great impact on us. ”
After that, he introduced what Wang Zheyi said to the two, and considering that Ning Zhongying didn't know what a meson fund was and what an international tour capital was, he explained a few more words.
"The Americans are also going to meddle in this?" Song Hongxuan was no longer in the mood to joke, his eyes widened, and he looked at Qin Hai and asked. At that time, people were still a little afraid of the United States, and they always felt that the United States was extremely powerful, and they could be thicker than the Chinese waist by plucking their hair at will, and as long as the Americans intervened in anything, China would be in trouble. Rao is Song Hongxuan is well-informed, and he is not immune to vulgarity on this issue.
"yes." Qin Hai said lightly, "This is called financial hegemony, and it bullies countries with weak economic foundations. ”
"I don't believe in this evil yet." Ning Zhongying said with a tiger face, "We are such a big country, can we be defeated by them with a single fund?" ”
"It's not enough to be defeated, but with them involved, things get complicated." Qin Hai explained, "Originally, when I discussed with Director Wang, I only took into account the behavior of some domestic speculative companies, and did not think of the intervention of international financial forces. The funds of domestic companies are always limited, and it is not easy to make up billions of yuan. However, if the US financial fund intervenes, the situation will be different, and they will be able to organize tens of billions of dollars of funds casually, and once they enter the Chinese market, they will definitely be able to stir up trouble. ”
"But can't our country regulate the inflow of this kind of money?" Song Hongxuan suddenly thought of this question.
Qin Hai shook his head and said: "In terms of regulations, we are a country with foreign exchange control, and overseas funds cannot be entered and exited at will. But institutions such as the Metron Fund, which specialize in international financial speculation, have a variety of means to circumvent regulation. The state can control part of it, but it can't control it completely. This kind of regulation is even more difficult when there are domestic institutions that cooperate with them. ”
"What does Director Wang mean?" Song Hongxuan continued to ask.
Qin Haidao: "Director Wang just asked Wang Zheyi to inform me of the news. He had just received the news, and it is estimated that he has not yet had time to report to the central leadership, let alone any specific countermeasures. However, judging from the fact that he asked Wang Zheyi to call me, he hoped that our side would make some preparations. ”
Song Hongxuan said: "This kind of thing, it should be the country's idea, right?" What can we do as a company? ”
Ning Zhongying said: "The country will have national considerations, and we should also have our own considerations." My view is that since the Americans have intervened, it is no longer a simple question of making money and losing money, but a question of how to resist US aggression. At this time, as Chinese enterprises, it is incumbent upon us to stand up and protect national security. Xiao Qin, Xiao Song, do you two think I'm right? ”
Qin Hai and Song Hongxuan glanced at each other and laughed. Qin Hai said: "At a critical time, the consciousness of the old comrades is higher, Hong Xuan and I are thinking about how to protect ourselves, but Director Ning has thought of the issue of national security, which is really admirable." ”
"You kid, don't pat my ass!" Ning Zhongying scolded with a smile, and then said: "Since you also agree with my opinion, then let's think about how to cut off the black hand of the Americans and make him regret going to China." In order to do this, even if our group suffers some losses and loses some money, we will not hesitate to do so. ”
"Director Ning is right, as the chairman, I can make a decision now, and it is a big deal to lose 1 billion or 2 billion, and I must not let the United States go back happily." Qin Hai gritted his teeth and said.
"Well, since you both have such a lot of determination, then I'll take care of the implementation." Song Hongxuan said, "I'll go and sort out the situation of our steel mills again to see where some potential can still be tapped."
I thought about it just now, but in fact, the matter of the meson fund is not a big threat to us. Even if they can invest $10 billion in the Chinese market, they can't spend all of it on steel, after all, the steel market is limited, and if they hoard too much steel, they have to consider how to ship. In this way, as long as we can increase the supply by about 5 million tons, it will be enough to cope with this new variable. (To be continued......)
