"Emerging economies in Southeast Asia?" Director Lang was obviously a little surprised by Zhou Shuo's topic, and in his impression, Zhou Shuo should be focusing on technology. Why did you suddenly talk about those emerging economies in Southeast Asia, and what kind of financial and economic crisis did you talk about?

It should be said that China is still very concerned about Southeast Asia, especially since the 90s, Thailand and these emerging economies. As a national model that has made great strides in the international division of labor, many people in China are advocating this export-oriented economic model.

As the deputy director of Office X, Director Lang usually covers a wide range of subjects. It is impossible to say that I have not paid attention to this aspect in any way. But it is a little strange to talk about the nature of the general trend of the country with the CEO of a private company who started with technology.

However, Director Lang still has this self-cultivation after all, he thought about it and asked tentatively: "Zhou always said Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore?" ”

"Director Lang is really insightful!" Zhou Shuo lightly slapped his ass, nodded and said, "That's right, these four countries can be said to be the pillars of the current Southeast Asian economy. I would like to ask what kind of impact would it have on the Asian market, or even the world, if their economy suddenly collapsed. ”

"The economy collapsed." Director Lang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "How can the economy of the entire Southeast Asia suddenly collapse, it seems impossible, right?" ”

"For example, if there is an economic crisis, or a financial crisis, the exchange rate of the Thai baht, ringgit and rupiah collapses, and then the entire Southeast Asian economy collapses......"

Zhou Shuo just clicked lightly, and Director Lang's eyes became different. He thought seriously for a while, looked at Zhou Shuo suspiciously, and asked.

"How could Mr. Zhou have such an idea. Is there any rumor? ”

Director Lang is familiar with Zhou Shuo's information, and he has accurately obtained huge profits with stocks several times. It is inevitable that his words will be taken seriously.

At this time, Tang Ya came over with a thick stack of Wen Jiàn, and Zhou Shuo hurriedly went up to help her carry Wen Jiàn. It was placed on the table first.

Tang Ya also seemed to be a little interested in these texts, and watched Zhou Shuo unpack the file and take out a copy of the texts from it.

"This is a survey of the Southeast Asian economy done by Pan Han Group, Director Lang, if you have time, I would like to ask you to read it."

Zhou Shuo knew that if he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult for him to send this information to the desk of someone like Director Lang. There are not 1,000 professors and institutions in the country who study the economy of Southeast Asia, but 800.

However, at present, the mainstream is still to attract investment from Southeast Asia, advocate the rise model of Southeast Asia, and be optimistic about the Southeast Asian economy. Articles like this that sing the praises of Southeast Asia, or even the East Asian economy, are not mainstream in academic circles at all.

"The central bank started cutting interest rates last month this year." Zhou Shuo handed the text to Director Lang, and lightly clicked on the question: "I think Director Lang should know better than me what this means, indicating that the inflation crisis that began in 93 is considered to have passed in China." At this time, we will let go of investment and economic vitality, and if the financial crisis that affects the whole of East Asia next year is born, I am afraid that we will be caught off guard. ”

After three years of monetary tightening, on May 1, 1996, the People's Bank of China cut interest rates for the first time in three years. This is historical. It is indeed the prelude to China's economic exhibition.

The central bank's interest rate cut means that the country has begun to encourage investment and increase domestic demand, which of course means that the production capacity of domestic products has been excessive, but domestic demand is insufficient. This rate cut means a shift in China's entire economic strategy. Bank loans, once prized, are beginning to re-enter the private sector.

Of course, at this time, the vast majority of people did not expect that this time the doors of banks would be opened to private enterprises. It hasn't been closed in twenty years. At least in the next 10 years, the private sector will become a major growth driver and a new force in China's economy. This decade will be a golden decade for China's private sector.

But the premise for such results is that China must not be like the Southeast Asian countries in 1997. Become the object of wanton shearing by the Americans.

Zhou Shuo's two sentences can be said to have completely reversed Director Lang's previous evaluation of him. The central bank's interest rate cut can confirm that the domestic inflation crisis has passed, which is something that many people think but dare not express. The domestic situation is disturbed, and no one dares to make a conclusion so quickly who really eats this mess.

After all, the experts of this era still have some dignity of experts, and they have not fallen so hard as to become bricks.

Director Lang opened the text handed over by Zhou Shuo and looked at it twice, even if it was full of absurd words, at most he should look at the problem from another angle. People in his position, of course, will have their own ideas, and they are not so easily swayed by others. Even if it is outrageously wrong, it seems that no matter how stupid the well-known statements are, you can always take a look at the motives behind them.

Similarly, it is inevitable that the information summarized by a person of Zhou Shuo's identity will be biased. However, from this, it can be seen more or less that entrepreneurs in the private high-tech industry have some butts about the current economic trend.

With such a mood, Director Lang took a cursory look at the table of contents of this article. Such a detailed survey would cost three to five hundred pages, to say the least, and the table of contents alone could have seven or eight pages, and of course only a cursory glance at the table of contents in a short period of time.

However, just by looking at it so casually, Director Lang's eyes couldn't be pulled out.

Explaining the economies of Southeast Asian countries in terms of foreign exchange reserves is indeed a perspective that few people pay attention to. At this time, China has not been particularly aware of the importance of foreign exchange reserves to the national economy. It was only in 1997 that China's top brass watched Southeast Asian countries being sheared that they suffered from foreign exchange hunger.

It's not that no one is aware of this problem before this, it's just that no one has raised foreign exchange reserves to such a high level from this perspective.

Zeng can see this, and he watched it for half an hour. It wasn't until there was a sudden knock on the door outside Zhou Shuo's office that the young man who had been sitting in the co-pilot seat walked in and said softly: "Director, the long motorcade is coming soon, do you think we should also come out?" ”

Director Lang pulled his eyes out of Wen Jiàn at this time, looked up at his watch, nodded and said, "Okay, let our people get in the car, and go to meet the long convoy first." ”

"Yes!" The young man straightened up, glanced at Zhou Shuo with some curiosity out of the corner of his eyes, turned around and walked out of the office.

"Mr. Zhou's information ......" Director Lang groaned, carefully put it in the bag, and said cautiously: "I'll take it and read it first, if Mr. Zhou needs help in the future, you can call me." ”

Director Lang said, picked up a pen on Zhou Shuo's desk and wrote down a phone number.

Zhou Shuo raised his eyebrows in surprise, originally he thought that even if Director Lang wanted to contact him, at least after reading this information. Even after the 1997 Southeast Asian financial crisis, he was willing to establish a relationship with himself. I didn't expect his sense of smell to be so sensitive, and after reading just a little bit of the content, he realized the great value of it.

And waiting for Director Lang to contact him, and leaving a phone number so that he can contact him, the taste is very different.

But after all, time was running out, and Zhou Shuo didn't have time to think about the problems here, so he opened the office door for Director Lang and said with a smile: "Director Lang, I'll send you." ”

Director Lang was not polite, but nodded and agreed: "Then trouble Mr. Zhou, let's talk and talk below." Regarding the economic problems in Southeast Asia, have you heard anything from the United States, or have you noticed the problems yourself? ”

The two of them walked out of Zhou Shuo's office, and the four office staff of Office X led by Director Lang outside had already formed a team and followed them in two columns.

Zhou Shuo helped them press the elevator, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It should be all there, my relationship in the United States is mostly in the venture capital and IT industry, and the financial industry has some connections with East West Bank." If you want to know more about the U.S. financial industry, you can't talk about that. However, in response to the phenomenon of low foreign exchange reserves in Southeast Asian countries, I have indeed met several experts who have studied this issue. ”

At this time, the elevator arrived, and Zhou Shuo invited Director Lang and his attachés into the elevator, and then continued: "Later, I asked Gao Mo, the manager of our group's investment fund, to contact Hong Kong to do this investigation, and I was convinced that Southeast Asian countries are likely to be on the eve of a financial crisis......

Zhou Shuo and Director Lang briefly exchanged their views on this issue, and when they walked out of the gate of the headquarters building of Fanhan Group, Director Lang's advance team was already ready outside.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, don't send it again, we will have a chance to contact again in the future!" Director Lang took Zhou Shuo's hand and shook it vigorously, accompanied by Tu Anbei and Ma Yougong, got into the car and rode away.

Zhou Shuo watched Director Lang's motorvoy walk away, but unexpectedly, another car drove in the opposite lane and stopped in the square in front of the headquarters building of Fanhan Group.

"Mr. Li?" Zhou Shuo was slightly stunned when he saw the person getting out of the car, and couldn't help but smile and walked two steps to meet him.

"What kind of wind blew you here, we haven't seen each other for more than a month!"

Li Jiufeng jumped out of the car, laughed almost arrogantly, gave Zhou Shuo a big hug when he came up, and said happily: "Mr. Zhou, the matter of our shareholding in the shipping company has been decided, and the conditions are beyond our expectations!" (To be continued......)
