Half a year after the "Kirin" series of high-end sedans rolled off the assembly line, that is, at the end of 1994, the "Longxuan" series of luxury sedans that made people anxious and almost eager to wear it finally officially rolled off the assembly line. Although in the previous six months, the "Longxuan" series of sedans have been delivered to customers one after another, and the production license has already been obtained, but the official off-line ceremony was delayed until the end of the year.

There is no doubt that under the personal demonstration of the old man and the seven members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, first of all, the first and second leaders of various parts have successively replaced their cars with more beautiful "Longxuan" series cars.

It's just that without exception, except for the cars that came out of the old man and the seven digits are bulletproof, the others are all non-bulletproof "ordinary" versions.

After the central government basically changed cars, it was naturally the turn of the following provinces. Perhaps many times these local officials are a little too big to listen to the command of the central government, but these officials have maintained a high degree of consistency with the central government in the choice of their own cars: unanimously replaced Audi with a more comfortable "Longxuan" car: the local area naturally has to be consistent with the central government, not to mention that the Longxuan sedan is indeed much stronger than Audi in terms of space, ride comfort, humanized considerations or more eye-catching appearance, and there is no need for them to stick to the previous broken Audi.

Although the price is a little expensive, everyone wants to open it, and you get what you pay for! Besides, it's not your own money anyway, so why are you distressed?

Many officials think like this: If the heads of other provinces have chosen the better Longxuan, then if they choose the rigid Audi -- the problem is that before the "Longxuan" came out, these guys still thought that Audi could embody their majesty very well, but now after the "Longxuan" came out, Audi immediately became rigid -- that is so faceless, doesn't it mean that the province's economic development is in a bad place under its own governance. Don't even have the money to buy a good car? Shame on you! How can this make you hold your head up in front of your peers? What do superiors think of themselves? What do those bigwigs in the center think of themselves? What do colleagues think of themselves? You're acting different, aren't you? Mavericks often don't end well, especially in officialdom. There is a consensus among officials: this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!

Provincial and ministerial-level officials, of course, can choose the ordinary version of the "Longxuan" six-series top-level configuration version as their own car, although it is very compatible with the "Longxuan" nine-series, but the helpless policy is there. The eyes of the center were always there again, so they had to retreat to the next best thing and chose the top-level configuration of the "Longxuan" six series. In the opinion of officials, the nine and six series, in addition to the size of the body. It's pretty much the same everywhere else anyway.

With the exemplary role of the superior officials, the subordinate officials will naturally be no exception, in order to maintain the consistency of the superiors, and not to violate the provisions of the state regulations on official vehicles, compared with the high-end version of the "Longxuan" six series, the "Longxuan" six series of simplified version has naturally become their best choice.

Zhang Lan also learned from the historical FAW Audi, in order to cope with the "on the municipal leader's special car displacement can not exceed 1.8 liters" regulations, in order to ensure better power, but also on the basis of the 1.8 liter naturally aspirated engine to make a 1.8 liter turbocharged engine, to meet the requirements of these guys.

As for the officials of the second level. Or those officials with special needs, then the "Kirin" series of sedans has naturally become their best choice, as for Jetta and Santana? If you weren't really poor and had no money, who would choose the Jetta and Santana that look like they look like a big brick with a small brick stacked on top of it, no air conditioning inside, and even the glass needs to be hand-cranked? It's a shame to drive out.

In recent years, officials have reached a general consensus that when they drive a Jetta and Santana, they are embarrassed to say hello when they see their acquaintances, but they are really recognized by acquaintances, and they will resolutely not admit that this is the car of their own unit: "The car of another unit, the car of their own unit has been sent for maintenance." I borrowed the car of the brother unit to make do with it. ”

Under the strong influence of the official-oriented mentality, the car purchase choices of businessmen who now have money in their pockets have also shifted from Jetta and Santana to the two car brands of Alice Automobile Group.

Comparing the products of Alice Automobile Group and the products of Volkswagen Group, a fool knows which car is better. For businessmen. The car is your own face, it is a symbol of your own strength, drive a "Long Xuan" out, who sees it is not all respect for their own face? The waist board suddenly felt a lot thicker; But if you drive a Santana or Jetta out and see someone, you haven't said hello to anyone yet. When I saw other people's "Longxuan" or "Kirin" cars, I felt that I was inferior. What does the other person think of themselves? Does a company that doesn't even have a good car have the strength? In such a situation, how can you negotiate and do business with others?

However, what Zhang Lan is most proud of is that the "Kirin" series of snow leopard off-road vehicles, after strict testing by the military, confirmed to meet the needs of the military, and was officially purchased as a car for cadres above the regimental level of the army. This also means that the original copycat version of the Mitsubishi Pajero of Hunan Changfeng Automobile Factory has been completely blocked from entering the squadron: with more advanced models, who will choose which thing looks similar to an antique?

Just when Zhang Lan was thinking about it, the door of the room was quietly opened, and Alice slipped in quietly, seeing that Zhang Lan was still there in a daze, she stepped forward and gently pinched Zhang Lan's ear: "Big lazy worm, don't get up yet?" It's time to go for a run! ”

To be honest, Alice's pinching didn't hurt, it didn't look like pinching, but it looked like someone was gently plucking in her ear, making her ears itch. Well? Zhang Lan, who was thinking about her experience in the past three years, turned her head and suddenly realized that it was already more than seven o'clock: she was in a daze, and she had stayed for more than an hour!

"I remember I locked the door, huh?" Zhang Lan was surprised, "How did you get in?" ”

"Is your lock still called a lock?" Alice was disdainful, "A light poke and it opened." ”

Zhang Lan jumped up from the bed with a "puff", and in Alice's puzzled gaze, she ran to the door and took a closer look: Very good, the lock was "softly undone", and Alice's girl did not carry out "brute force cracking", otherwise she would have to change the door lock again.

"Anlaan," seeing Zhang Lan's cautious appearance, Alice looked at it funny in the back, "Don't worry about your locks, they are all billionaires, and they still care about this lock money?" ”

Xiao Chenxi went to Beijing, and the responsibility of running with Zhang Lan every morning fell on Alice's head, the sun in June was already very hot, even in the morning, it could be unbearable to get up and run a few steps. Looking at Zhang Lan, sweating profusely but enjoying herself, Alice was already surprised.

"How's the deployment in Southeast Asia?" Zhang Lan ran slowly as soon as she was bar, and asked Alice, "Are the funds in place?" ”

"Don't worry, now that we have our own bank, the transfer of funds is much more convenient than before, what else do you have to worry about," said Alice asked curiously, "Indeed, I have studied the economic situation of those countries in Southeast Asia now, but behind the current economic prosperity of these countries are hidden many problems, such as high fiscal deficits and bad debts of banks." Limited to the economic system and economic development model of those countries in Southeast Asia, these problems will sooner or later trigger an economic crisis that will engulf the whole of Southeast Asia. Soros's Quantum Fund is also actively deploying in Southeast Asia, but how can you be so sure that this economic crisis will start in early July? ”

Alice said that her own bank, this is true, Zhang Lan felt that if there was her own bank, it would be much more convenient to deal with many things, in the second half of 1994, let Alice set up the first bank of Alice Group in the United States: Alice Commercial Bank.

After the establishment of this bank, not only can the $7.5 billion extorted from the United States be easily managed by itself, but in the future activities, with a bank of its own, many things will be much more convenient.

The United States is not like China, there are only a few banks in China, anyway, everyone is a country, brothers are all a family, it doesn't matter if they compete or not. Under such circumstances, the domestic banking industry is basically not yet an industry.

But unlike in the United States, where there is a lot of large, medium and small banks, and the competition is fierce, it is not easy to survive. Don't dig out your mind, don't want to make money.

Banks are not the same thing as industry or high-tech, and to put it bluntly, how to coax other people's money into their own pockets and then lend it to others is very much like the legendary white wolf with empty gloves. In addition, it is also a good option to use the bank to make false accounts.

The banking industry has such advantages, which naturally attracts many large conglomerates, such as the Morgan consortium, the Rockefeller consortium, the DuPont consortium, and so on, which hold the lifeblood of the American economy, and all of them control one or several banks in their own hands. While these banks have earned high profits for their own consortium, they have also saved tens of billions of dollars in taxes every year for their consortium, which has a nice term: reasonable tax avoidance.

There is such a good thing, and the competition is naturally quite fierce, but fortunately, the background of Alice Commercial Bank is not comparable to those small and medium-sized banks, not only does not the underworld come to make trouble, but there are also people to watch the scene for free, to ensure that there will be no blind guys to come to the door to cause trouble.
