Nan's study had not yet been cleaned up, and President Feng and his two entourages were directly welcomed into the main room in the front yard of No. 17 by Zhou You. Entering the room along the beautiful courtyard, Ma Hongtao personally served and helped several guests make a cup of fragrant Biluochun, and let Le Yao bring some snacks.

"Where Mr. Zhou is, where is the center of public opinion. There are almost more reporters at your doorstep than there are people in the Fifth Academy of China's daily press conference. ”

"Let President Feng smile, fortunately this is not a community, otherwise, I would have to worry that my neighbors would have sued me for disturbing the people."

He laughed, "With your fame, even if you have neighbors, you will feel honored, how can you be surprised by this!" It's just that it's a great honor, but it's also a huge pressure. ”

"It's good that President Feng can understand, since I became the target of the media, I have always been trembling and walking on thin ice."

After a few pleasantries, President Feng turned the topic to today's purpose. "The impact of the subprime mortgage crisis has spread throughout Europe, especially in Western and Northern Europe. Only Spain and Italy escaped, but it wasn't their luck, it was just that they didn't qualify for the dinner table in the first place. ”

Zhou You nodded and said: "Although the subprime mortgage crisis has a huge impact, we must also see that this time it is just because banks and financial institutions in Europe and the United States have gone too far." Relying on the superior economic foundation and economic structure of the United States itself, especially their dollar market position, they can drag the whole world to pay for them. Therefore, although they have suffered a serious blow, they will not be like those countries in Asia, which will not recover for ten years. ”

Governor Feng listened to Zhou You's words, pondered for a moment and asked, "Then how long do you think the United States will recover?" ”

Zhou You stretched out two fingers, which then turned into three. "In two to three years, the U.S. economy can recover."

Governor Feng nodded and groaned. Although Bank of China is the one with the least assets and funds under management among the four major banks, it has been deploying the international market for a long time, and it is also the best bank in internationalization. But this is the best, and it is only compared to the other three banks, in the international context, the so-called internationalization of the Bank of China is not worth mentioning at all, and it has been developed for more than 20 years, that is, it can make a little voice in Hong Kong.

For example, HSBC, which Zhou You is now a shareholder, has become the largest bank in Europe and the largest bank in the world in terms of assets under management, surpassing Citigroup of the United States and the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi of Japan, and has assets all over the world.

Although the four major domestic banks later became the world's largest banks in terms of assets under management, especially ICBC, which became the world's first, most of their assets were in the mainland, and they were developed by relying on 1 policy, so they could not be called an international bank at all.

As the two poles of the world, there is cooperation and competition between China and the United States everywhere, and the decline of the United States means the rise of the mainland, although the mainland is not yet qualified to challenge the hegemony. However, taking advantage of their problems, digging a piece of meat from them is something that all enterprises or institutions in the mainland are very willing to do.

Zhou You is also using this year to dare to provoke the United States. Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, I can't kill them now, but it is right to get some benefits.

Relying on regular, legal economic means, even if the United States is greatly annoyed by this, it is not afraid to travel. Through this opportunity, Zhou Yu also wants everyone to know that even if he is not a villain, he is also a careful eye that must be reciprocated. Only in this way can you deter other forces that want to reach out to you.

Of course, it is not enough to rely on his own ability, so he must pull into the mainland. In order to achieve the goal of retaliating against the United States, he is willing even if he has to pay a certain price, not to mention that he can still get some benefits from here now.

The advantage is, of course, the huge amount of funds of 200 billion US dollars in CIC, not to mention that all this money is used by Zhou You, as long as there is one-tenth, the funds in Zhou You's hands can leverage a larger trading order. With this crisis, it is easy to make a fortune on the Americans.

In response to the opportunity of the current financial crisis in the United States, of course, Zhou You cannot openly cooperate with mainland companies, because each party is a legitimate business method, and if it unites with others, it will be a conspiracy.

This is a bottom line, and you must not cross the line when traveling, otherwise, you will suffer the most brutal retaliation from the United States.

For this reason, the cooperation between Zhou You and the mainland not only cannot be written down in black and white, but also needs to be cautious, and only reach a tacit understanding in a small area. Therefore, the first time he returned to the capital, he secretly participated in that high-level meeting, and did not dare to let the reporters know.

The tacit understanding he has formed with mainland companies cannot be said to outsiders, but it has nothing to do with the use of mainland funds, one is cooperation, and the other is legitimate business means, which he clearly distinguishes.

After a while, President Feng spoke: "Our experts have also made their own estimates based on your analysis, Mr. Zhou, and two to three years is a more reasonable judgment. Based on these judgments, we also made a whole set of plans......"

Zhou You hurriedly said: "You don't need to talk to me in detail about this, we just need to act tacitly at some key nodes." Knowing too much, we get too caught up with each other, and our actions get in the way. ”

He laughed, nodded and said, "Mr. Zhou is really cautious!" …… Okay, I won't go into the details now, but there are some plans that still need to be communicated to you, so that we can work together strongly, don't you say? ”

The first step is to prepare for a series of large procurement orders in the futures market for resource products. The so-called swap transaction is almost the same thing as futures. If you open a contract with an iron ore supplier at a current price or a premium or a reduced price, as long as the other party accepts the price, then the difference between this price and the spot price will be your profit or loss.

This method of turning the floating price into a fixed price allows both parties to avoid losses due to adverse price changes. This kind of behavior is different from the speculative behavior of Zhou Ziye, but it is a real dilution of the risk of production enterprises. At the same time, the signing of a large number of swap contracts can more effectively curb the price of resources that are about to get out of control.

Zhou You is relatively unfamiliar with the futures market, although he has now cooperated with several futures companies, and because he controls many resource manufacturers, he has a certain influence on this market, so he can not speculate in this industry unscrupulously now.

Subsequently, in response to the depreciation of the US dollar, mainland institutions will also take action in the foreign exchange market to conduct foreign exchange swap transactions. In this regard, except for sovereign wealth funds and state-owned institutions, individuals are not suitable to participate, because this kind of operation is theoretically easy to make big profits or big losses, but there is a very important premise, that is, to find a gambling institution.

For example, if Zhou You wants to open a position and establish a position, I am afraid that no institution is willing to sign a contract with him, so this money is not something that anyone can earn.

Mainland institutions will exit some of the investment areas affected by the crisis, and it is wise to have a large amount of cash in hand when the crisis comes.

Of course, when the crisis has spread and the real economy has suffered a heavy blow, this is a good opportunity to buy the bottom. Zhou You has no interest in buying the real economy, but there are countless enterprises in the mainland that need to strengthen their competitiveness, and many foreign enterprises are their targets.

The acquisition or holding of some foreign high-end enterprises is an important direction of the mainland's economic development, and it is linked to the economic crisis.

Although President Feng did not elaborate, these steps were almost the same as Zhou You expected. Now that the direction has been decided, the contact between the two parties will be much simpler in the future, and there is no need to be sneaky like now.

After traveling around, it would be good to ventilate the mainland during the critical node period at most, and at that time, only a random person is needed as a contact person, and these news can be spread. There is no need to send people at all, Zhou You only needs to say some obvious hints in front of the media, and everyone will understand.

The mainland has been able to catch up with the development of Western countries for hundreds of years in a few decades, and it has no less talent than foreign countries. Zhou You is fortunate to be reborn, if it weren't for his rebirth, he wouldn't be qualified to get an axe at all.

Until Governor Feng was leaving, Zhou You did not ask them for any instructions on his request for some cash assistance. It was President Feng who couldn't hold his breath anymore and finally took the initiative to bring up this topic.

"CIC also has countless investment plans in the next two years, so although there is a lot of money in hand, it can't provide you too much with one radish and one pit. They will provide you with $10 billion of financial support through the channels of the Bank of China, and we are also willing to provide some help to Mr. Zhou in this regard, and are willing to provide a share of $5 billion in allocation, plus the support of other banks, a total of up to $20 billion in allocation. ”

Zhou You laughed and said: "These funds are mainly for preparedness, and they may not be used, but I am still very grateful for your support and help, and when the time is over in the future, I will invite you to drink again." ”

The meeting ended successfully, and President Feng left the courtyard where he was traveling, and when he was about to get on the bus, he was blocked by reporters blocking the door.

"President Feng, visiting Mr. Zhou at this time, does the Bank of China have any new business plans with Mr. Zhou?"

Seeing that there were still five or six meters away from his car, a large group of reporters blocked the road, and several bodyguards were helpless. Governor Feng replied: "I will only answer this one question, and the necessary secrecy should still be maintained before many plans are officially implemented." In the past two years, although the Bank of China has made certain achievements in the process of internationalization, many problems have also emerged. Mr. Zhou is now a shareholder not only of BOC, but also of Santander and HSBC, so we hope that Mr. Zhou can be a bridge between BOC and European banks and help BOC develop more smoothly in the process of internationalization. Thank you, that's all I can say for now. ”

Other reporters didn't let President Feng go so easily, but no matter what the question, President Feng didn't answer. Zhou You also saw these scenes through surveillance in the courtyard, and ordered the bodyguards to separate the reporters.

The instructed bodyguards immediately moved a lot more, and although those reporters were unwilling, they could only let him get into their own Audi when they saw President Feng's resolute attitude and didn't say a word.

Governor Feng's car left, and Zhou You turned back to Courtyard 17. Le Yao, who had been waiting impatiently, couldn't wait to lead Yang Mi and wait by the corner gate in the front yard. "Brother, there are no other arrangements for tonight, right?"

"No, the rest of the time is all yours...... Guys. ”

Le Yao was very happy, but Yang Mi heard the meaning of traveling around, and she looked a little surprised. "Then you tell the crew of Dream of Red Mansions, why did you say that you wanted Mimi to play Xue Baochai at the beginning, but now you want to play Qingwen. Qingwen is a maid......"

Zhou You looked at Yang Mi and asked with a smile: "Then what do you think exactly?" ”

Yang Mi said a little embarrassed: "It's not bad to play Qingwen." ”

Zhou You smiled: "Don't say that, if you really want to play, I can come over no matter what role." But it depends on whether it is cost-effective or not. Although Dream of Red Mansions is a big production, due to the large number of characters, it distracts the audience, and even if you play the leading role, it is impossible to be brilliant in the whole series. I asked Mr. Chang to compete for the heroine of Sword and Fairy 3 for you, because the filming time of the two TV series is incompatible, so you play a supporting role in Dream of Red Mansions, but you have time for the two crews to run. ”

"Isn't the fairy sword the copyright of the Tang people?" Yang Mi is obviously a lot excited, the first two parts of Fairy Sword directly made Tang Ren from an ordinary film and television company to a first-class film and television company, and also made Brother Hu, Sister Fairy and many other stars popular.

Zhou You smiled: "Maybe in two months, I will also be a shareholder of Tangren, so don't worry that you don't have a crew." ”

Yang Mi's fire started from this TV series, and when she arrived in the later palace, she directly jumped to a first-line actor, so of course Zhou You would not let her miss the filming of this TV series.

The two girls were happy and smiled sweetly at Zhou You. Zhou You said with a straight face: "Don't just talk about Da Mimi, but forget yourself." When you came back from the mummy crew, you seem to have pushed down several scripts, do you want to stay at home every day? ”

She coquettishly grabbed Zhou You's arm. "Anyway, with you to raise me, why should I work so hard? When I encounter a good script, I shoot it, and if I can't meet it, I happily enjoy the leisurely life of being wrapped up and raised. ”

Yang Mi giggled and shaved her face with her fingers to shame her, but she didn't care about it, and she was still proud. Zhou You deliberately sighed: "If a person has no pursuit, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?" ”
