Chapter 152: The Li Family 2
This is nothing, but being an official has the advantages of being an official, and at the same time, once a person is included in the bureaucratic system, he loses many hidden things and becomes traceable, as if he is chained to a chain, and he is led wherever he goes. But Li Mengze is obviously not that kind of person, for whatever reason, he resolutely rejected the kindness of some people, insisted on his pure businessmanhood, and no one in the entire Li family now has any official status, which has become a very unique phenomenon in the Chinese business world. For the central bank, Li Mengze's difficulty is also very troublesome, but as soon as the minister of the central bank made a request, Li Mengze immediately agreed, which made the minister very puzzled. In this case, the person in charge of the central bank commented that "he is either a madman or a villain". Whether it is a madman or a villain, the central bank and the government are still very grateful, there are many such good people, but there are definitely not many people like him who are capable and so cooperative. And what made the government department even more "annoyed" was that the women of the Li family made trouble for them, stayed at home, and were busy with nothing, and they wouldn't use the money themselves. Tens of billions of dollars are invested, and some people in the government department know very well that they are more happy to spend money than them, and they are all newly produced products, unlike most of the waste items taken out by the Red Cross! The actions of the young women of the Li family and the results of their evaluation were soon known by some people in the central government, "The rich man is really unusual, and he spends money more than the government", although it makes people feel breathless, they are still very grateful to the fairy, anyway, the fairy is like a fairy!
When Li Mengze was doing things, he didn't take into account so many consequences, everything was done by feeling, and he already had that heart to get rid of the gold, and he felt that it was the right thing to do to help the society, and he didn't think of anyone to remember his favor at all. People have to go with the situation, they have to do what they have to do when they have to do something, they have to do something for the society, "don't rush to do anything, but if no one does it, you have to do it yourself", this is his philosophy of life. Until the signing of the Sino-Japanese agreement, the fairy's high-level people were waiting in anticipation, and what they were looking forward to was of course social peace, although the fairies also had measures to deal with it in the event of war. As for the government's upcoming economic policy in an emergency, many people know that the fairy even has its own exclusive commentary on the economic situation, and some people even suggested that the external relations department "carry out activities" to fight for economic matters favorable to the fairy. According to the intelligence judgment and the experience of previous economic crises, in the case that almost all walks of life have stopped, in order to resume production and promote the improvement of the social situation, the government will inevitably give priority to the development of some "urgently needed" industries, implement a gradual start policy, and produce one day earlier, the loss will be reduced, and the company's situation will be better, not to mention that the fairy's competitors are not vegetarians, but this proposal was vetoed by Li Mengze. His reasoning is also very simple: since it is to formulate economic policies to save society from danger, it is necessary to adopt the most appropriate policies, and the pace of recovery of the whole society should not be slowed down because of individual companies! In the fairy company, Li Mengze has absolute authority, and even his two women are not easy to refute when he says such a righteous and awe-inspiring words. So the public relations personnel of each company and even the general manager, president and even the chairman of the board of directors personally went through the "back door" of the economic department, and strived to allow their own companies to start production as soon as possible.
The experts of the Economic Management Committee really admired the fairy's stability, everyone was crowded, and they were not anxious at all! But admiration is admiration, and government experts in charge of economic policy, as well as central bank officials, have to seriously consider the issue of fairies. The government departments now attach great importance to fairies, they used to attach great importance to fairies, but they are far from reaching the current level, and there has never been a company so generous, and there is no company in China that has spent tens of billions of yuan on social relief like fairies! For them, whether it is a show or out of sincerity, this gift of the fairy, this contribution cannot but be valued by them, although it will be more if the money is handed over to them. And the officials of the central bank are another matter, the timely sale of two batches of huge amounts of gold, this point, they have to seek benefits for this partner, you must know that the fairy to the central bank this gift is too important, important to the point that they are willing to directly to the economic department to say good things for the fairy. And even without these, the fairy should be valued by the economic authorities, the fairy has the largest and most sufficient capital reserves, and if it is not used now, it is impossible to say; If a company with such good conditions is not allowed to start, what kind of company can start. Fairy not only has capital, she also has technology, in the electronics industry, the new material industry and its basic parts industry are in the leading position in the country, once these materials are needed, how can there be no fairy's share. Of course, there is another point, as the main part of the Sino-Japanese agreement, China needs to open the market to Japan, how to make Japanese products pressure, is the government has to give priority to the quality of fairy products, especially the quality of the largest consumption of electronic products, in the world's leading level, this is the economic experts know the thing, Donglin electronic supply in the best electronic products experts are the clearest! Therefore, the first round of production enterprises must have some fairy companies, which is something that all economic experts must agree on! There is another reason for the experts to miss the fairy, that is, the fairy's huge reserve funds, this fund will definitely not be less, and the fairy will not allow the money to be idle, whether to guide the fairy to invest, or let it invest, the experts unanimously agree on the former, then you have to persuade the fairy to invest, to let her taste the sweetness first, otherwise, who can guarantee that the weird boss will cooperate with their work, who can ensure that the fairy boss will agree with their economic value orientation!
At the end of May, the fairy company received the "good news", the government in the first integration of the financial sector activities, invited the fairy to "cooperate" with the work, and at the same time, strongly invited it to enter the food industry. For this good news, the fairy has different reactions, some people think that "this is a good thing", saying that the government attaches importance to fairies, admits the strength of fairies, and is a good time for fairies to take the opportunity to enter these industries, but some people disagree, thinking that fairies do not need to enter these industries, because this is not in line with the fairy's industrial development strategy. For a while, there were constant controversies within the company, saying that Li Mengze was not happy to enter these two industries, because he didn't like these two industries very much! After the economic crisis in the financial industry, several large state-owned banks are dying, small banks have gone bankrupt, commercial banks around the country have closed their doors, and insurance companies are in crisis. In the food industry, although most of them are now working, the market situation is not good, and people even have to budget carefully for the necessities of life, so they still consume those who are more luxurious. These food companies, almost all of which are not separate food companies, are also crumbling due to the drag of related industries, and under the conditions of economic control, they cannot raise prices, and many have filed for bankruptcy! But since the government has difficulties, the fairy will still "do what she can", after negotiations, and after a series of crying activities, the fairy finally entered these two industries.
On June 3, the fairy company invested in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, injected 400 billion yuan into the bank, injected pure funds, and zhan had 20% of the bank's shares, as a result, the fairy entered China's largest state-controlled bank! In a normal year, hundreds of billions of yuan would be nothing in ICBC, the bank's annual deposits reached more than 10 trillion yuan, and its total assets reached more than 4 trillion yuan, but the economic crisis has caused the bank's assets to shrink seriously and scarred. By April 36, the assets were only two trillion yuan, but the problem was that although he had trillions of yuan in loans that had not been recovered, there were still trillions of yuan in deposits waiting to be withdrawn by people who heard the bad news, and it was okay to have loans, but the problem was that a considerable part of the loans had become dead debts, and even the creditors were dead, so could the loans still be returned; The creditor's rights of some companies in their hands have also depreciated sharply, and the entire bank is already seriously insolvent! During the private negotiations, the minister of the central bank said with great threats, "Isn't there a trillion deposits, once it goes bankrupt, you won't lose a lot"; Someone didn't hesitate to fight back, "Then I'll extract it now." But people look at him like an idiot or a pitiful worm, "The government now prohibits the withdrawal of large sums of money at one time, and if you really bring it up, it will definitely go out of business." As a last resort, Li Mengze had no choice but to surrender, the two of them pushed back and forth, the fairy didn't want to invest at all, the central bank was a strong "agitator" fairy investment, no way, 400 billion yuan finally disappeared, I didn't even see it, and it was directly transferred from ICBC to ICBC's bank account. In order to revitalize the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the central bank re-injected 1.4 trillion yuan, and Li Mengze took up 20% of the shares with a dead face, saying that his money was real money, and he had paid taxes, "different from the state", which made the ministers of the central bank angry, if it were not for the economic crisis, he would have ignored this "insatiable" guy a long time ago. At the same time, the government has also carried out capital injection and rectification activities for the other three major state-controlled banks, and many small banks, even if they have not yet collapsed, have been ordered to rectify within a time limit under the pretext of financial problems, and some have even been swallowed up by large banks, so that by the middle of the year, only a dozen of the hundreds of remaining banks are still in business, and the rest are either merged or "suspended", and the entire Chinese mainland, together with some foreign-funded banks, is still in business at most!
For the food industry, the fairy has also invested, but the scale is not large, a total of 120 billion yuan of investment, dozens of insolvent companies into its own, Ding Peipei and their later donation to the society of most of the food extracted from these companies, but also "fertilizer does not flow into the field of outsiders". The acquisition of food companies was completed in late June, in fact, it was not only Fairy who was buying such companies, but some other companies were also buying, and even some private funds were "rushing", because from a practical point of view, food companies are a profitable industry. According to Fairy's statistics, during the entire economic crisis, Fairy's 24 food companies made a total profit of 60 billion yuan, which made some of the more picky people satisfied with this investment. Although the profitability of these food companies is good, they have not yet been put in the eyes of the fairies, but the government departments are easy to say that they must be accepted by the fairy companies, saying that they are "related to the national economy and people's livelihood and for the welfare of millions of people" or something, and even do not hesitate to artificially "open the back door" for them and squeeze out bidding opponents. A few big hats were buttoned down, which made Li Mengze's mouth pout, and he reluctantly took out 120 billion yuan to buy it, with an average of only 5 billion yuan per company, and there was no large-scale capital injection, and the company operated directly from ICBC loans, "Anyway, it doesn't have to be in vain"! The relevant departments are also helpless about the fairy's behavior, and it is clear that her large amount of money has other uses! When the government encouraged the fairy to invest in the insurance company, they said that they would not do anything, although there were people within the company who thought that "investing in the insurance industry is quite good" was a way to make money, but the last hurdle was always difficult to pass, "too many insurance companies have failed", this is just a relatively small reason why someone disagrees.
Since June, the banking system has been rectified, a large number of bad and dead debts have been isolated, assets have been re-evaluated, selling banks have been rectified within a time limit, foreign-funded banks have been treated as "dangerous elements", large withdrawals have been strictly restricted, and a run on the phenomenon has been guarded against...... Most of the securities companies have been closed, the stock trading center is full of doors, occasionally a few red dots appear, provoked the idle staff sighed, the whole system has been sorted out in August, the announcement said "everything is working well", but the shareholders know that "no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad"! The currency has stabilized, the dollar in the international market is still declining carelessly, but the currencies of other big countries are relatively stable, of which the euro and the renminbi are the two most stable currencies, followed by the yen, a large amount of private capital began to flow to these two systems, which also increased the burden on the responsible departments of the two economies, as a last resort, the European Union and the government of the Chinese government implemented the exchange rate linkage system. In August '36, the exchange ratio between the two regions was 1 euro to 7.2 yuan, which finally made the currency market no longer fluctuate widely.
There is a reason why the world's capital flows to these two currencies. First of all, the collapse of the US dollar has made the international market lose confidence in the US dollar, and the continuous depreciation of the US dollar has made it a manifestation of "chronic suicide" to continue to hold the US dollar. Second, Japan itself is in a difficult situation, although the scale of the economy has been very large for a long time, but its own market is narrow, and it is not favored by investors, not to mention that the signing of the Sino-Japanese agreement is also considered to be a concrete manifestation of Japan's weakness. Third, the European Union is the world's largest economy, the regional market is huge, the market environment is relatively mature, and the economic crisis is relatively the least damaged among the large countries, the euro has always been one of the more stable currencies, and it will naturally become the choice of people in the crisis. Fourth, China has become the world's third largest economy, in terms of national strength, has become the world's second largest economic power after the United States, although the border crisis losses are quite serious, but China's domestic people's savings rate is relatively high, the market is huge, and the government is a little too face-saving, image-oriented, it is said that the world's domestic price rise is one of the smallest countries, the renminbi is also one of the most stable currencies in the world today, plus the world's third largest gold reserves, There is ample reason to believe that China will be able to quickly emerge from the effects of the economic crisis, and that there is less risk of holding the renminbi. In the end, there is no country that can assume the function of a common currency in times of this economic crisis, and it is better to have two options than one. So, in August, the euro and the yuan officially became the two pillars of the world monetary system!
The restart of the economy of the world is early and late, the main countries of the European Union started earlier, as early as the end of May has begun to start partially, North America in early June to start partially, Japan in mid to late June to start partially, and China until the end of the delineation of the first batch of companies to start production and the number of companies and profit distribution ratio, other countries have also sooner or later part of the recovery of production!
In view of the lessons learned from the Great Depression in the past, governments around the world have strictly restricted the production activities of companies, and only enterprises with better financial conditions and related to the national economy and people's livelihood can start work earlier. China and Japan are two relatively special countries that open their markets to each other, but what Japan exports to China are all industrial products, while most of what China can export to Japan are urgently needed for civilian use. The Japanese people are a relatively narrow nation, and like the reunited South Korea and North Korea, they especially love their own industrial products, and it is still very serious during the economic crisis, and the industrial level of these two countries is quite not weak, so it is difficult for China's non-civilian industrial products to open up sales here. Knowing that useless work is also a waste, so China does not export those industrial products to these countries, anyway, their civilian industry is relatively lacking, usually imported from China, trade interruption makes domestic prices rise, become a more profitable industry, create business opportunities for Chinese enterprises, due to other reasons, it is easy to seize most of the market. Chinese food products that had not stopped production were soon exported to the two countries, but due to the implementation of the domestic export policy first and international export policy first, the export volume was not large, and around June, China increased exports on the basis of the agreement (in fact, China also threatened Japan with the interruption of food exports). Now, some of the domestic textile companies have also started one after another, a large number of materials began to "support" these two countries, the fairy is naturally not far behind, with 24 food companies to obtain export qualifications of 20, production has expanded nearly doubled, "efforts" to stabilize the prices of these two countries, the income is not expensive, but unfortunately the scale of production is still relatively small, but that's it, among the large domestic companies, the fairy is also one of the first "profitable" companies.
