Chapter 70: Conspiracy

"Comrade Song Ling, it is an extremely honorable and important matter for you to appoint you and several other comrades to take up the important task of defending Hong Kong's economy this time...... I hope that you will always be mindful of the heavy responsibility on your shoulders and not let down the expectations of the organization and the people. A man with a Chinese character face about fifty years old sat on a sofa chair and said to Song Ling, who was standing respectfully in front of him, with a serious face.

This is a customary conversation that must be carried out before the appointment, and the clichΓ© did not make Song Ling feel a burst of disgust, on the contrary, he was extremely excited and even ecstatic at this moment, because it meant that he was about to be able to use hundreds of millions of funds to call for wind and rain in the stock market, and become a pivotal figure in the entire Chinese-funded enterprise in the Hong Kong market. This trip to Yanjing was not in vain, and the results he got were even beyond his imagination.

The same scene also happened to several other people, most of whom were the heads of the financial department of Chinese-funded Hong Kong listed companies under the central government, and the camp could be said to be very luxurious. The market value of the companies behind them alone may account for half of the total market value of the entire Chinese-funded enterprises listed in Hong Kong, and in the entire market, it will account for about 20% of the market value of the entire listed companies in Hong Kong.

In addition to these front-line personnel with practical experience, the general manager in charge of Yanjing is a vice minister of the Ministry of Finance, the level is the main department, in addition to these, there are also relevant persons in charge of the United Front Work Department, the Organization Department, the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs Office, the Aihua Society, the Hualian Office and even the General Warehouse, in short, under the instruction of the Zhuge Pavilion. This will be a coordinated multi-sectoral response to the financial crisis.

Originally, a working group of this scale and level would not have been able to make a voice out of a small role like Song Ling, but because the vast majority of the people in this group who were higher than Song Ling would not be stationed in Hong Kong, and even some people were just trying their best to squeeze into it in order to make political achievements, the information transmission and analysis and judgment in the face of major emergencies would have to rely on this group of professionals specially stationed in Hong Kong headed by Song Ling.

Zhuge Guan was not unaware of this problem, and for this reason he specially appointed a supreme responsible person for the Hong Kong side, that is, the vice president of the Hong Kong branch of the Aihua Society, and instructed him to have the right to arbitrarily determine personnel at an appropriate time, so that he could cut off the personnel first and then play the next role, and sweep away those who lied about the military situation or delayed the fighter planes in the Hong Kong department.

Other than that. In terms of professionalism. The Zhuge Pavilion has arranged for a group of scholars who are familiar with the economy of Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia, and people like Zhong Shi to form an advisory committee to report and predict the future trend of Hong Kong's economy to the Hong Kong side from time to time.

In short, in the vision of Zhuge Pavilion. This will be a test before he is about to take the helm of the Council.

……

"Brother Song. This time, the Organization Department appointed us as the 'front-line combatants' to defend Hong Kong's financial markets. But why do I think we are all cannon fodder? Let's think about it, how many departments above us are constrained, not to mention the people who directly report to the Aihua Society. Even what the hell we want to do on our own, we have to refer to the guys on the advisory board, what the fuck is that! In a remote club in Beijing, several high-ranking officials from Hong Kong were sitting in a small room and sighing.

After a brief period of excitement, they were shocked to find that the working group had a large number of people and a complex process, and it was probably impossible to solve the problem from finding the problem to making the decision in a week, and this was still without passing the buck between departments. The market in the financial market is often changing rapidly, and there is no possibility of asking for instructions and waiting. According to their words, by the time the corresponding rescue plan is formulated, I am afraid that the rescue target will already be dead.

Most of these people are middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, who look like they are dressed in suits and leather shoes, and have a good demeanor, and they are typical elites with successful careers. In the eyes of the outside world, they are senior officials of Chinese-funded enterprises, and a word can determine the rise or fall of stocks. But they themselves know very well that under these glamorous exteriors, they are actually nothing, if they have no power in their hands.

Unlike private companies, senior officials of Chinese-listed companies, especially state-owned enterprises, are appointed not by the board of directors, but by the organizational departments of the mainland government. Because the majority shareholder is the state, even if the minority shareholders and the scattered shareholders are combined, it will not prevent the appointment decision from passing. And once these so-called airborne executives sit in this position, it is often followed by the entire middle and high-level purge activities, which is the so-called "one son of heaven and one courtier".

Although these people have also benefited a lot from the purge activities, they know very well in their hearts that if the number one who comes down from the sky does not like them, they will be put aside in the next purge activity, and then they will lose the power in their hands and be nothing.

It is precisely based on this consideration that these people work hard to climb to a higher level, so as to control their own destiny.

And this time, the so-called multi-sectoral contingency plan for the financial crisis is undoubtedly their best chance to perform at the highest level.

Everyone wants to try to play their part well, but when they are really involved, and they have thoroughly studied the relevant organizational structures, departmental planning and decision-making processes, they realize that things are not as simple as they think, and their situation is even more dangerous than marginalization.

To put it simply, there were too many laymen in this makeshift group, and the constraints were too complicated. Although they were pushed to the forefront, their role is cannon fodder, belonging to the kind of tragic characters whose credit is superior and whose fault is their own.

In this case, grumbling naturally becomes the subject of this group, especially in the absence of refusal and resistance.

"Brother Song, you have something to say!" After complaining for a long time, these people finally found that Song Ling had been drinking with his head bored and had not commented for a long time.

Song Ling is not the oldest in this group, on the contrary, he is the youngest. But this group of people all called him Brother Song, because they could all see that Song Ling was the one with the most great future among them. If nothing else, the leader who appreciated him is said to have entered the eyes of the highest level and will be transferred to the Central Committee in the next two years to take charge of a department directly under the Government Council.

And in this small circle, it is recognized that Song Ling's city government is the deepest and the most scheming. He once let out the bold words of asking the organization department to give up the number one leader in the airborne and instead promote within the Chinese-funded Hong Kong enterprises under a drunken situation, which others could not even think of. In addition, Song Ling helped them settle some troubles several times in a row, and gradually these people regarded Song Ling as the leader of this circle.

"Say what?" Song Ling shook the wine glass in his hand and said seemingly casually, "Now we are small characters, dispensable. No, this analogy is not accurate, I personally prefer this description, that is, we are all meat on the chopping block, even if we have a knife and axe, we can only go against the grain. ”

Speaking of this, he "snapped", put the wine glass on the table heavily, and his tone became more and more aggressive: "Although the starting point is good for the sake of checks and balances, but don't forget, who are we facing and what is the situation?" If nothing else, let's just say that a big man like Soros has a total of more than $20 billion in funds, and a little use of some of it is not something we can afford. In such a situation, we have to send those bureaucrats who don't know anything to contain us, I really don't know what the people who make decisions think in the future! ”

"Shhhh Everyone hurriedly stopped, "Be careful that the wall has ears, although what you said is true, but the one who makes the decision also understands finance, and it is definitely not untargeted, I believe there will be a follow-up." ”

"Afterstroke?" Song Ling pursed his lips disdainfully, "It's nothing more than with those people in the Hong Kong government." They are responsible for fighting back in the exchange rate market, while we are responsible for maintaining the rise and fall of the stock market. Because they can't directly intervene in the stock market, it seems that the master above is a sensible person. ”

"After all this time, what are we going to do?" A middle-aged man in his forties finally lost his patience and asked with a little irritation.

"Yes! Oh, yes! After being reminded by him, everyone finally woke up to the fact that now was not the time to discuss what they were thinking, but when they returned to Hong Kong, the relevant work would be carried out, and no matter what, they would have to enter a dilemma.

"What should I do?" Song Ling rolled his eyes and drank the wine from the wine glass in front of him in one gulp, and then said slowly in the expectant eyes of everyone, "Don't you think that the most pressing problem we have now is not from above, but with those annoying expert groups?" ”

Everyone's expressions were stunned, and they all felt inexplicable, how could it be involved in a committee with no real power? After a long time, someone reacted and said, "Brother Song, when you say this, I have a clue." It is true that the opinions of the professionals of the advisory board pose the greatest threat to us. After speaking, he winked at Song Ling.

"Don't ask for the time being, when you are in charge, you will know what Lu Dao is." Song Ling nodded slightly, then stopped everyone's rhetorical questioning, and without waiting for them to react, he continued, "In fact, the way to deal with the above is very simple, that is, to do nothing, or only deal with it a little, so that the above will turn us from a small role to a person who can really do things, and the corresponding constraints will be reduced a lot." ”

"Nothing? Is this possible? This time, everyone's reaction was no longer despondent, but they were stunned, and no one said a word for a long time. (To be continued......)
