Li Zehai really drank a lot of wine, drinking wine was the same as drinking water, fortunately, Duan Zetao was not weak, the two of them drank two or two cups first, but they changed the beer glasses again, and if they were not addicted, they simply used a bowl to do it, Li Zehai saw that Duan Zetao was more and more pleasing to the eye, so he almost bowed to him on the spot.

Zhu Feiyang was dumbfounded beside him, pulled Duan Zetao's clothes and said, "Brother Tao, you must lie down if you drink like this, you have to attend the seminar held by the Central Committee tomorrow!" ”。

Li Zehai hurriedly asked what was going on, Zhu Feiyang told him about the article, Li Zehai patted his thigh and said: "It turns out that the article in the Economic Daily was written by you, a few days ago, when my old man read the newspaper, he also said that this article was well written and very far-sighted, the business is important, the days are long, let's drink here today, wine is like character, Zetao, you brother, I have identified!" ”。

Zhu Feiyang clapped his hands and applauded: "Brother Tao, you are terrible, Old Man Li is a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, your article can be praised by him, the future is bright, now Boss Li wants to recognize you as a brother, whoever dares to touch you in the future, you will report the name of Boss Li, and ensure that he is scared." ”。

Li Zehai pouted and said: "Third child, why do you have to be vulgar for everything, but, Zetao, if someone dares to bully you, I won't look at it!" By the way, how did you two get together?! ”。

Zhu Feiyang told Li Zehai about the cooperation between the two, and Li Zehai patted his thigh again and said: "Third child, you have finally done a reliable thing, your Huaxia Fund relies on inside information to pit the common people with that little money, what can you do, let's play if we want to play, and making money from foreigners is called ability, I didn't say it, this matter is my share, there is no more, I can still pour more than a billion." ”。

The wine was drunk until it was completely dark, and when he left, Li Zehai took four special Chinese cigarettes from the office and handed them to Duan Zetao, "I don't have anything good for you, bring a few cigarettes back to smoke." ”。

Duan Zetao hurriedly refused: "Brother Zehai, you are too polite, you were in too much of a hurry when you came, and you couldn't bring anything to your brother, so why are you embarrassed to ask for your cigarettes again!" ”。 Zhu Feiyang, who was on the side, saw that his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to grab it, "This is not a good thing!" There is only a quota of two per month for military-level cadres, Zetao doesn't want to give it to me! ”。

Li Zehai slapped his hand back hard, and scolded with a smile: "You belong to a dog, you can grab everything, I want to ask your old man to go!" ”。

Zhu Feiyang retracted his hand and muttered: "You don't know that my old man is an old smoking gun, and he himself is not enough to smoke, so how can he give it to me?!" ”。

Originally, Zhu Feiyang also wanted to take Duan Zetao to see the night market in Beijing, but Duan Zetao thought that he would hold a seminar tomorrow, and it would be bad to meet the experts and leaders with two panda eyes.

Early the next morning, Zhu Feiyang sent a car to send Duan Zetao to the ** club, if it weren't for the armed police standing guard outside, and the huge national emblem hanging above the gate in the courtyard, it would be difficult for Duan Zetao to associate the ordinary courtyard in front of him with the famous ** club, looking at the red courtyard in front of him, thinking that many major decisions of the country originated from here, Duan Zetao couldn't help but be in awe.

Duan Zetao walked to the side and dialed the contact number left by the person who called that day, and after a while, a middle-aged man with glasses walked out, held Duan Zetao's hand with a smile and said: "You are Comrade Duan Zetao, I am Wang Xianguo of the Central Office, I am the phone I called you, I didn't expect that the person who could write such a sophisticated article is actually a young man, it is really terrifying!" ”。

Wang Xianguo showed his work card to the armed police standing guard, and asked Duan Zetao to take out his identity certificate for registration, and then took Duan Zetao into the club.

On the way, Wang Xianguo explained some matters to Duan Zetao, and specially instructed: "In addition to the experts from the National Development Research Center and the leaders of some ministries and commissions, the vice premier may also come to observe, pay attention to the wording when you speak, of course, don't be too nervous, just express your thoughts normally." ”。

Duan Zetao heard that the vice premier might attend in person, and his hands trembled with nervousness, but he was also a person who had seen the world in his previous life, and his face could barely remain calm, Wang Xianguo glanced at him and nodded slightly, this young man is indeed not simple, it is just a matter of being outstanding in learning, and it is rare to be calm that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without moving.

Wang Xianguo took Duan Zetao to the conference room, pointed to a seat in the corner and said: "You just sit there, the seminar will not start in an hour, you first sort out the outline of the speech of the next meeting, it's better not to walk around if you have nothing to do, I still have something to deal with, and I will come back later." After speaking, he walked out of the conference room.

Duan Zetao's mood slowly calmed down, took out his notebook and began to sort out the outline of his speech, his thoughts became clearer and clearer, and before he knew it, the time for the meeting was approaching, and at this time, people were coming in one after another, and when he saw Duan Zetao, who was still struggling to write, he regarded him as the clerk who took the minutes of today's meeting, so he ignored it.

Duan Zetao came back from his contemplation, only to find that the conference room was already full of people, many of them were famous economists who were often seen in magazines, and many of them were state officials who were often seen on TV.

Wang Xianguo picked up the microphone and said: "Everyone has already read the information, an article published in the Economic Daily earlier analyzed the possible crisis of the Southeast Asian economic model, and the main topic of our seminar today is to discuss the issues mentioned in this article, please speak freely." ”。

As soon as Wang Xianguo's voice fell, a middle-aged man with his hair combed and wearing gold-wire glasses took the microphone and took the lead in firing the gun, "I read that article, I think it is purely alarmist, facts speak louder than words, the rapid economic development of the Asian tigers over the years is obvious to all, and it is very worthy of our learning, it can be said that this economic model is the only way to integrate with international standards......."

After the middle-aged man made a long speech, he pointed the finger at the author of the article, Duan Zetao, "Let's talk about the author of this article, I have never heard of this person in the economic academic circles, and he has not published articles on the economic field in any magazines before, so what is the purpose of his publication of this article?" It's nothing more than grandstanding! Our article here to discuss such a person is purely time-consuming and pointless! ”。

Duan Zetao recognized this middle-aged man as Shen Yaohui, a well-known economist recently, who was born as a doctor in the United States, and after returning to China, he frequently appeared on the cover of magazines, and it was best to be in the limelight, and his mantra was "to be in line with international standards." Duan Zetao had read his articles, and he did not have much real talent and learning, but he was just using some outdated economic theories in the United States to stir up rice.

At this time, a very elegant old man with white hair spoke, he is the famous economist Hu Qinglian, he has a high reputation in the field of economics, known as the reputation of "Hu economy", "Dr. Shen's speech is very wonderful, but some places are biased, any economic model has its advantages and disadvantages, the Economic Daily article on the analysis of the Southeast Asian economic model I think is very reasonable......

The experts in the conference room were divided into two factions, some supported Shen Yaohui, some supported Hu Qinglian, and no one could convince anyone.

Wang Xianguo saw that the scene was out of control, picked up the microphone and said: "Everyone's speeches just now are very reasonable, today we have invited Duan Zetao, the author of this article, to the venue, and now we will ask Comrade Duan Zetao to talk about his views!" ”。

Duan Zetao sat in the corner, there was no microphone in front of him, Wang Xianguo walked over and handed him his wireless microphone, and for a while all the eyes of the venue were focused on him, and everyone was surprised by his youth, and the venue was in an uproar.

"Leaders, teachers, I came here today mainly to learn from you, just now you have made me deeply inspired by your speech, now I will talk about my views, what is not right, please criticize and correct......

Duan Zetao was a little nervous and a little stuck, and at this time, Hu Qinglian, who was sitting in the front row of him, turned around, handed him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Young man, don't be nervous, drink saliva to moisten your throat and then talk slowly!" ”。

Duan Zetao's mood calmed down suddenly, he nodded gratefully at Hu Qinglian, picked up the microphone and continued: "Yes, Southeast Asian countries and regions are one of the regions with the fastest economic growth in the world in the past 20 years. However, it is this rapid economic growth model that lacks long-term planning and guidance has also brought hidden dangers and exposed increasingly serious problems. ”

"First, the advantages of export-oriented labor-intensive industrial development are declining with the increase in labor costs and the intensification of market competition. However, the economic growth mode and economic structure of Southeast Asian countries and regions have not been adjusted in a timely and effective manner, resulting in a decline in competitiveness, slow growth in foreign exports, and a high current-account deficit. In 1996, Thailand's balance of payments current account deficit was $23 billion, while South Korea's was $23.7 billion. ”

"Second, bank loans are excessively loose, real estate investment is large, the vacancy rate of commercial housing is rising, and non-performing assets such as bank bad debts and bad debts are expanding day by day. (Examples and related data (omitted))...... These economic factors have affected the foreign exchange market and the stock market in various ways. ”

"Third, economic growth is overly dependent on foreign capital, and a large amount of foreign capital has been introduced, which has led to an increase in foreign debt. Thailand's external debt was $20 billion in 1992 and $86 billion in 1997 before the currency devaluation, and South Korea's external debt exceeded $15 billion ......".

"IV. The ...... of the Rigid Exchange Rate System"

"Fifth, when the conditions for opening up and the ability to respond to changes are not sufficient, the financial market should be opened prematurely and the international financial integration should be joined...... I dare to assert that if international travel capital takes the opportunity to make a fortune, an international financial storm will break out in Southeast Asian countries and regions, and if we do not respond early, it will also have a huge impact on our country! ”。

When Duan Zetao began to speak, people were still a little contemptuous, but as Duan Zetao's speech deepened, everyone was attracted by his wonderful speech, so that everyone didn't notice that an old man with extraordinary bearing quietly walked in from the back door of the conference room and sat in an inconspicuous corner.
