Chapter Ninety-Eight: Welcome to Beijing
Beijing Shunyi, airport.
A thunderstorm in the morning cleared the sky, warm winter, the rain that seemed to be intermittent gradually decreased, but never stopped, the cold wind wrapped in drizzle, the pedestrians' old cotton jackets were damp.
At the exit of the terminal, a wave of domestic flights landed intensively, and the passengers who flocked out of the gate stirred up the taxis at the door a lot, and the traffic was surging.
Three cars with government license plates, one Hongqi and two Audis, approached one in front of the other and slowly parked on the side of the exit.
The black Audi door in front of the car opened, and a secretary-like person jumped out of the passenger seat, showed his work card to an airport manager, and laughed and chatted with each other.
"Fat brother, look at how people live, people are more angry than people, I've been waiting for two hours."
A thin man in a green military coat paced towards a colleague, and behind him was a Polonaise with open doors, a Polish car, and the first batch of 100 Citroen CX20s to be put on the rental market in Beijing in 93 years, very different from the old Shanghai, Lada, Volga and Crown, making it very legendary.
In these years, there are few planes, and the airport and other work are like frequent urination, one after another. When the plane did not land, the waiting team was almost immovable, the airport management was also loose, and the boring driver in the car came out for a stroll when he had nothing to do.
The fat brother held a warm cup, unscrewed the lid of the cup and drank a sip of strong tea, spit out the tea root, and replied casually: "People drive cars to find money, you pay the money, can it be the same." ”
The thin man caged his sleeves and bared his teeth: "This is a robbery, isn't the sixth child capable, don't you care?" ”
"Pull it down, the sixth girl is only three years old, and she hasn't lived enough, the group is for everyone's good, you have to speak alone, I'll help you deliver the word?" The fat man was also happy when he heard this.
The thin man snorted and changed the subject: "Who is this picking up?" ”
"The direct carpet camera that can be on the news is in place, and it must be picked up inside, and it can still be at the exit? It is estimated that either the level is not enough, or a foreign businessman with a little background has to pass through a customs. ”
The fat man lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and his face was light.
"Fat brother, you are a connoisseur." The thin man's face was full of admiration.
The two brothers were talking nonsense, when they saw a luxury car with anti-fog lights in the distance, coming out of the drizzle and speeding towards the terminal.
The secretary, who had negotiated with the airport personnel earlier, also saw the approaching motorcade and ran to the back of the Audi in small steps, and the rear seat glass slowly rose up.
The secretary leaned over to report a few words, the doors on both sides opened in turn, and two middle-aged men with official faces walked out of the back seat.
Without waiting for the two to command, a woman in a Western-style woolen suit, who got out of the car first, had already taken a step ahead of the car and greeted the convoy that was parking in turn.
"Lao Wang, is this a second marriage of a daughter, or is there a villain?"
A middle-aged man with gray sideburns and deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, with a straight back, asked with a smile while looking at the uninvited guests not far away.
"I didn't see that our investigator Xiao Liu has already gone up, you, don't take advantage of it. I can tell you in advance, for the sake of the old man. ”
Lao Wang glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, and said angrily, "Foreign investment is directly contacted by the Ministry of Economy and Trade through the embassy in the United States, and the counterpart is the municipal party committee. ”
"Then you have to win." The middle-aged man stalks his neck, he doesn't care about fouls, and whoever falls on the foreign capital is counted as the result, and the lawsuit can be fought slowly, but the result must be implemented first.
Liu Chuanyun is the mayor and deputy secretary of Xicheng District, and he still has a military temperament when he transfers to the local area.
Naturally, he will not carry forward the style of letting the seizure go outward, whoever is the main attacker and who captures it is counted, this is all within his ability, and the old army is so unique.
"Do you know what people are doing to rob them, the embassy, consulate and security department have studied the information from the department, this G2 financial institution and foreign private bank are of the same nature, you are not afraid of making mistakes?"
Lao Wang was really helpless against his old partner, and decided to grab credit when he heard half a word, no wonder his popularity was so bad.
"Isn't it just investing in building a building, I think it's good to have a landmark building in Xicheng, as for whether the trading policy for foreign devils is allowed, what does it have to do with my Lao Liu?"
The righteousness on Liu Chuanyun's face disappeared, and in a blink of an eye, he changed to a ruffian, looking very innocent.
Lao Wang was choked, he turned out to be the actual department of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Liaison Department, and the department merged with the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Foreign Exchange Management Commission, and the Import and Export Administration Committee to form the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade, that is, the Ministry of Commerce in later generations, and has been working in the foreign trade system.
This time, the news that foreign capital wants to invest in Beijing was obtained from within the system.
In the early days of reform and opening up, investment promotion was led by the Ministry of Foreign Trade, mainly externally. The Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Offices in various localities, embassies and consulates stationed abroad, and the counterpart units of the Ministry of Foreign Trade are all responsible for the work of introducing foreign investment.
A month ago, the commercial counselor of the Chinese embassy in the United States sent back a notice that a foreign financial company had made tentative contact with him.
After comprehensive research on various data, the ministry believes that the so-called establishment of an office in Beijing by this fund called G2 is just the same as Coca-Cola and KFC's entry into China in '87, but it is just a way-finding nature.
There is little information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the information available so far indicates that G2 is a commercial private financial institution of an operational nature, not an NPO, and does not have a political nature. Headquartered in New York, G2 focuses on leveraged mergers and acquisitions and growth capital.
G2 Credit is an investment advisory firm registered with the SEC in the United States. G2 Capital is mainly leveraged mergers and acquisitions, and is an investment bank. The G2 fund is domiciled in Liechtenstein and its business is mainly equity funds.
The embassy in the United States thought that G2 was a wild financial company, but the foreign affairs department followed closely and the information was surprising.
This little-known financial company turned out to be very well-known in the East Coast financial circle.
Not only that, but at this time, the New York-based G2 is carrying the banner of confronting Washington, leading a large group of Wall Street financial companies to fight with the US Department of Justice, and all the financial newspapers are paying attention to this incident.
What's even more bizarre is that according to the news in Wall Street Financial Weekly and newspapers, the U.S. Department of Justice actually sent a signal of out-of-court settlement, which means to admit defeat?
A company beating the U.S. Department of Justice to admit defeat has left people in the foreign affairs department both fresh and nervous, and they don't know how to judge the nature of the company. simply sent a bunch of original materials that were made public and investigated back to China, but there was no conclusion of a single word, and the article was full of inexplicable words.
"Reform and opening up needs to bring in foreign capital and learn from the advanced management experience of foreign capital, and G2 is such a well-known asset investment management company in the US financial field. However, we need to be wary of the ...... of capitalist financial institutions"
This kind of introduction has been successful, and it has done a bad job, and it has already said hello, which makes the foreign trade department very angry, but there is nothing to be done.
Obviously, the foreign affairs department is unwilling to get into trouble, and the foreign trade system is certainly not willing to take the blame.
The attitude of the foreign trade department is clear, investment is welcome, everything is done according to the policy of attracting investment, no matter what else, do not take the initiative, but the guests always have to be welcomed, and the task of counterpart reception will be handed over to Director Wang's department.
Liu Chuanyun learned the news from his old partner, so he didn't care what the foreign devils were going to do in China, he was not afraid of sugar-coated shells, sugar-coated shells were eaten, and the shells were beaten back.
What comes in is foreign exchange, and the purchase of sand and gravel building materials will become RMB, how can this business not be done?
I wanted to take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the lead, but I didn't expect another group of people to come, and I instinctively felt that it seemed to be related to them.
Xiao Liu, who accompanied the translator and investigator, came back, and Liu Hui, who graduated from the School of Foreign Chinese, is a foreign affairs talent in short supply in the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
In the past year, the simultaneous interpretation of Beijing has been double-digit, all of which have been booked by various exhibitions and conferences, and government departments often have to go to schools to invite foreign language teachers to make cameo appearances, which shows the urgency of translation, and serious translation talents have always been valued by leaders.
