Chapter 329: "Go Ahead"
"What do others think" and "how do they think" is just a statement, and the negative reports on BNB News Network may be the most worrying thing for Tengxi. The "opening" of the constitution is just talk, propaganda is the mouthpiece of the party, and everything can be accommodated, but this matter is not negotiable.
The previous few reports are just the beginning, the old man is gone, and there is no one who can support NB Electric on the bright side, God knows what will happen next!
Thinking of Director Zheng's words before he came, Tengxi couldn't help but say, "Charter, what do you think?" Is it so hard to show a posture and bow your head? Don't let down the kindness of others, you must know that the reason why I am here is completely for the good of NB Electric. ”
This is the first time she has called her name since she met, and she was a little surprised, and she was stunned for about ten seconds before she whispered: "Tengxi, I know the good intentions of the old man, but no matter before, now, or in the future, it is the consistent position of our NB Electric and NB Lab to pay attention to politics but not participate in politics." If I had to show some attitude and join a faction in order to do business in the country, then I would rather choose not to do it. ”
The above has released enough goodwill towards NB Electric, such as inviting Liu Siwei to serve as a Hong Kong affairs consultant, appointing Li Xiaoshan as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Ding Wenming as a deputy to the Dongguang Provincial People's Congress, and even privately greeting the health system to purchase NB medical equipment at the same price and quality conditions as much as possible.
However, NB Electric is afraid to avoid these.
Liu Siwei never accepted the invitation from the Hong Kong branch of the New H Society, and Li Xiaoshan and Ding Wenming even resigned from their posts as members of the CPPCC Committee and deputies to the National People's Congress, and even the senior executives of Chinese companies were replaced.
BJ has a good opinion on this. President Gao's application for a "fast track" to the experimental center was not fully approved. It has a lot to do with their attitude. This time, Zhang Guangming and his ilk were allowed to make waves. It is not the intention of taking the opportunity to knock on NB Electric and NB Laboratory.
As an intermediary, Tengxi was in a dilemma, pointing to the small bag and saying quietly: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, you have already done so much for the country, why bother?" ”
The charter walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the bay below the mountain, and said lightly: "Do you know why I don't even want to be a director of the company?" It's because I think too much that it's easy to take on moral responsibilities that a good businessman shouldn't have. to those international competitors. I can do whatever I can, and I won't have any psychological burden; The same can be said for doing business in other developing countries, which can be on the gray edge.
But I have a particularly mixed emotion about China. Especially those politicians who have one thing on the surface and one thing behind the scenes, I really can't deal with them without any psychological burden. Just like I can't change them, they can't change me. So I choose to do what I love and what I am good at, and give back to this country in my own way. ”
Tengxi had mixed tastes, hesitated for a while before asking softly: "Then what am I, and what is Xingda?" ”
"You are my friend, and Xingda is dealing with international competitors. Not comparable. ”
The charter looked back into her eyes and said with a smile, "In addition, according to the plan of the headquarters. Xingda's business was carried out until 96 years at most. At that time, your dowry will be almost earned, and you can retire early and live the life you really want to live. ”
With the current promotion efforts and methods, three years is enough for NB Medical to gain a firm foothold in the Chinese market, even if it does not follow crooked paths in the future, it can still have a certain market share.
Tengxi reacted and reminded with concern: "Charter, don't forget that you are not only a shareholder of NB Electric, but also the founder of NB Laboratory. Director Zheng believes that according to the current development rate of the laboratory, if it wants to maintain the current funding ratio, the annual investment will be as high as more than one billion US dollars in the future, and the company can get so much money to shrink the domestic business? ”
What is a billion US dollars, just the US stocks held now, the rise in the next ten years will be as high as thousands of times, not to mention one financial speculation opportunity after another in the future, the charter smiled casually: "Director Zheng's estimate is too conservative, before 97, the annual budget of the laboratory will reach 1.5 billion US dollars." After 2000, it will increase to $2.5 billion to $3 billion and will increase every year. As for the source of funds, I will try my best to solve it, and I will not let the company bear it alone, let alone let the shareholders suffer. ”
"$3 billion a year, you think you open a bank?" After saying that, Tengxi remembered that he did open a bank, and it was a universal bank.
While pinching his temples, he yawned and said: "Money is a bastard, and if you don't have it, you can make it again, the key is technology." For me, at least, advanced technology is the real asset. ”
"I'll talk about it later, let's talk about the two projects in Jiangnan Province first." Tengxi gave him a roll of his eyes, and said angrily: "Painting such a big cake is in line with people's intentions, and it has been making trouble until Zhongnanhai, I will see how you end!" ”
"What do you mean?"
"After the second southern tour, the whole country set off a tide of speeding up reform and speeding up construction. At this year's two sessions, the phrase "concentrating forces on socialist modernization" was even written into the constitution and regarded it as the fundamental task of the state, and they were doing great things everywhere, especially those local government officials, who found that there was a better way to get money, and they no longer begged the central government as before, and went to the bank to take as much as they wanted, and they appointed the governor anyway. ”
Tengxi paused and continued: "The central government has lost control over money and credit, and local governments have invested more than the central government. ”
The charter nodded slightly, and said lightly: "The economy is a little overheated, and before I came back, I heard that the experts of the NB Bank had just sent a letter to the People's Bank of China, reminding them that if these phenomena are not stopped in time, when the economic growth rate slows down." It could turn into a financial turmoil. ”
"The World Bank also reminded it."
Tengxi sat down in front of him. said with a smile: "When I had a meeting in Zhongnanhai. All the provincial governors heard the meaning of the central government's words. So they began to say their own things, and Dongguang said that from the perspective of the whole province, they were not hot; Fumin said that even Dongguang is not hot, and they are even less hot; The governor of your hometown is even more powerful, saying, 'We only have a few cities that are faster, but that is mainly due to the inflow of foreign capital.'"
And threw out the plan of the Yangtze River bridge and expressway, claiming that with your boss Zhang, the construction funds are not a problem. Before the project was submitted for approval, road and bridge experts had already been invited to start site selection, and Vice Premier Zhu, who greeted them, was so angry that he gritted his teeth. If nothing else, those loans you have in China, whether unplanned or planned, will soon be recovered, and it will be up to you to find the money to help build bridges and pave roads in Jiangnan Province. ”
The charter was happy, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Even the deputy prime minister is worried about me?" ”
"Work for the tiger, make waves, and work against the central government. It's normal to think about you. What's more, there are a large number of people who have fallen into the well, and they are investigating your family. If you can't repay the loan and can't get the funds to repair the bridge and pave the road, then you are a liar, and NB Electric is a scam company! ”
"Listening to the tone, you seem to be looking forward to my appearance?"
"Don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Miss Ben is reminding you to praise less Haikou in the future, otherwise no one will be able to help you if this situation occurs again."
Charters asked curiously, "Did you help me settle it?" ”
Tengxi cocked Erlang's legs very unimpressively like him, and said gracefully: "How can I have such a great ability, it is Director Zheng who helps you settle it." He asked me to tell you that it is good to care about your hometown and build your hometown, but you must also do what you can, and don't make false promises. ”
"How does he know I'm making a promise?"
The charter sat up straight suddenly, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Please also ask Mr. Teng to help me convey to Director Zheng, as my hometown parents said, the construction funds of the bridge and the highway are not a problem." As for those loans of the company in the country, they can be repaid at any time. ”
Tengxi will be suspicious: "Really rich? ”
In the foreign exchange adjustment market, the renminbi has depreciated to the extent that it is exchanged for 11 yuan to 1 dollar. In other words, foreign capital can now be made by flowing into the country. The hundreds of millions of yuan borrowed last year were either used to pay for the project or used to purchase raw materials.
Naturally, the charter will not disappoint the hometown fathers, let alone miss this opportunity to make a name for itself, and swears: "Xinsheng Investment now has at least 1 billion US dollars on its account, and it is too easy for us to repay hundreds of millions of yuan in loans." As for the road and bridge construction funds, I can use all my personal assets as a guarantee, and I will never drag down the infrastructure construction of my hometown. ”
"Are you really determined to build bridges and pave roads?"
"Say it, spill the water, I make a promise, and I will keep it."
Tengxi asked again: "What about the vice premier?" ”
"What he tightened was the money of domestic banks, and the funds for road and bridge construction were foreign capital, which were completely different things and would not affect the overall situation of his regulation and control. Dear Comrade Tengxi, don't wait for me in economic construction, and we must understand the urgent feelings of those of us Jiangnan people for the development of our hometown. ”
Looking at his shaking his head, Tengxi snorted and said, "Don't come here, don't think I don't know what wishful thinking you are making." As soon as the bridge is repaired and the road is built, the power equipment and medical equipment business in Jiangnan Province will not be able to do it for you, but you can't figure out where you can find so much money. ”
"That's my business," he said, glancing up at the wall clock on the wall, and said, "Eat first, and then talk about it after eating, I don't know if Qingqing likes Chinese food, if she doesn't like it, I have to take her out to eat." ”
"The little girl is very cute, she can be adopted by you and become your daughter, she is also a blessing in disguise."
"I don't think anyone wants such a blessing."
The charter sighed lightly, and said as he walked: "Jiahui and Su Peng don't want to play with her, and August is the same, if there is a chance to adopt a girl in the future, otherwise she will be too bored alone." ”
Tengxi couldn't help but smile and asked: "To put it mildly, your own child is not the same as an adopted child, don't you have a little idea in your heart?" Besides, there are so many adoptions, how will the family property be divided at that time? ”
"When I entered the Zhang family, they were all members of the Zhang family, of course, they had to be treated equally, I didn't feel any different. As for the future. I set up a trust fund for each of them. Let them live in harmony. Live the life they love. ”
"What about Xia Yao, have you ever thought about her?"
The charter stopped and said very seriously: "Adopting Qingqing is our mutual decision, and in general, as the largest shareholder of NB Electric, we have this responsibility and this obligation; To be selfish, such a family is conducive to the growth of children, whether it is Qingqing or my soon-to-be-born son. ”
As soon as he was born, his family was "international". It is indeed conducive to the growth of children, Tengxi was completely convinced, and sighed with emotion: "Rich people are different, when they are developed in the future, Miss Ben will also adopt a few." ”
Walking down the stairs, I saw Xia Yao chatting with Zhang Qing at the dining table.
The charter nodded slightly at the envious eldest sister Zhang Hui, and then sat down next to the little girl, and asked with a smile: "Qing, what are you talking about, can you let me listen to it too?" ”
She pointed to the barbecue outside the living room. He pouted and muttered, "That's not what barbecue says, Xia doesn't believe it." ”
The charter was stunned. reacted immediately, and quickly explained: "Wife, Qing is right, there are many words in South African English that are not found in English, some are local dialects, some are Afrikaans, such as barbecue, South Africans like to use the word braal, not the barbecue we know." ”
"Qingqing is so smart, it's my mother's fault," Xia Yao stroked her little hand and said in a gentle voice: "Let's eat Chinese food today, and tomorrow we will go to the sea to eat barbecue." Dad knows how to fish, we can bake while fishing, and if it's too late to sleep on the yacht, like it or not? ”
The little girl stared at her big eyes and asked, "Are there sharks in the sea?" ”
"Of course there is, but Dad will protect us, with Dad here, no one can hurt me and Qingqing."
Xiao Jiahui's English is very good, he can understand the conversation between the two, and suddenly raised the toy gun in his hand: "I will also protect you." His very manly appearance made everyone laugh.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."
Regardless of whether Xiao Zhangqing can understand it or not, Xia Ning took out the specially prepared knife and fork and said with a smile in Mandarin: "Qingqing, Auntie knows that you don't know how to use chopsticks, so you use this." Auguste, it's yours. ”
It turns out that the previous worries were superfluous, the two little guys liked Chinese food very much and ate with relish, especially Xia Ning's specialty dish garlic chicken wings, Xiao Qingqing ate four pieces in one go.
After dinner, Zhang Hui took Xiao Jiahui back to his house, Xia Ning and Xia Yao took the children out for a walk, and the charter sat on the balcony with her brother-in-law Su Xingyun to chat with Tengxi and Bai Xiaoyan.
“…… After the baptism of freedom of communication and the turmoil of the transition period, the Russian media has basically cultivated a new generation of journalists who are familiar with on-the-spot reporting and good at gathering and writing. In addition, the new media law provides a relatively relaxed reporting policy and gives journalists greater autonomy in journalism, so there is no problem in terms of talent. ”
Su Xingyun, like the vast majority of Chinese, was very curious about the former Soviet Union and asked about Russia as soon as he sat down.
With his brother-in-law, he will not disappoint him, and he will not be disappointed, and he said: "The source of income of Russian BNB is similar to that of domestic TV stations, mainly relying on advertising. They are not good at light industry, and more than half of the goods, food, clothing, household appliances and daily necessities on the shelves of the stores are imported from Western countries. Even the ice cream is written in English or German on the packaging. They are all potential customers of Russian BNB, and as long as the ratings are up, it should not be a problem to make a profit. ”
"What about NB Bank?"
Bai Xiaoyan asked with a curious smile: "Old classmate, are you also like the banks of Western countries?" First collect savings, then buy state assets with the money of the Soviet people, and then release the news, short the ruble, and plunder the wealth of the Soviet people for decades through currency devaluation? ”
She obviously heard too much gossip, and the charter was ridiculed, "How easy is it to short the ruble?" Old classmate, you can only ask me this question, if you ask it in the academy, you will definitely be laughed at. ”
"Isn't it true that more than 20 trillion dollars of Soviet wealth have evaporated?"
"You're overhearing conspiracy theories!"
The charter put down the teacup and patiently explained: "Let's take an analogy, last year's pound crisis, the financial predator Soros used $10 billion to snipe the pound, triggering international funds to follow up, and Soros made a profit of about $1 billion through short selling and short buying, so how big is the scale of this pound war?"
The Bank of England used $26 billion in reserves to stop the pound from falling, which means that at least more than $26 billion of funds were sold at the same time, and the scale of the attack caused the pound to fall by 7%-12%. I don't know who counted the $20 trillion that the Soviet Union lost, or if there was such a thing, but I do know that it is simply impossible to rely on financial speculation.
You must know that the pound is an open market, but the ruble has always been firmly in the hands of the Soviet government because of the serious deformity of the exchange rate. How much money was needed to depreciate the closed Soviet currency more than 1000 times? I believe that even an Einstein-caliber brain would not be able to put together that number in the world. ”
Looking at her thoughtful look, the charter continued: "There are many rumors about the Soviet Union, you can't disbelieve it, but you must not believe it, for example, 5 billion dollars to buy 140 billion rubles is an outright lie. Because of currency speculation, one of the most important supports must be freely convertible.
In 91, the official exchange rate of the USSR was 1.66 dollars per ruble, and the black market price was 1 dollar to 12 rubles. If it were really freely convertible, there would not be such a perverted exchange rate aberration. And under such strict monetary control, it can be said that the flow of 140 billion yuan in a month is completely impossible. At the same time, the black market ruble has depreciated to the point where no one is going to trade their strong dollar for a ruble that is about to collapse unless they are crazy. ”
This is the kind of propaganda in China, and when the anti-peaceful evolution was carried out, there was a special organization in the school to study.
Bai Xiaoyan was completely dumbfounded, and thought for a while before asking, "Then how did the Soviet economy collapse?" And where did all the wealth of the USSR go for decades? ”
"The economic collapse of the Soviet Union is a long-term process, the accumulation of long-term abnormal development of the Soviet economy, and the outbreak of years of accumulation of contradictions. Decades of heavy industry strategy have led to a serious imbalance in the national economy, and the supply of tickets for the long-term planned economy has also caused the ruble to exist in name only. ”
The charter smiled, and then analyzed: "The serious shortage of light industrial products and the serious surplus of heavy industrial products caused a serious disconnect between the purchasing power of the Soviet Union's internal currency and the world economy, and it was precisely because of this that it caused the subsequent hyperinflation, which was confirmed from the side by the domestic one who exchanged a train of light industrial products for three planes.
In fact, we are the same in China, from the price barrier to the current depreciation of the renminbi, which is the sequelae left by the long-term planned economy.
As for where the wealth goes, the question itself is a deviation from the positioning of wealth. Because wealth is not embodied in money, nor is it accumulated in the form of money. Only in the field of circulation will it have its real value. That is, the accumulation of wealth can only be reflected in the productive forces and the means of production.
The amount of purchasing power that money is able to generate depends entirely on how much value it can produce. For example, Iraq, which is under sanctions, everyone has a lot of dollars, but the supply of goods is insufficient, can you say that Iraq's wealth has evaporated? No, because they never had wealth in the first place, all they had was empty promises from the United States. ”
Tengxi smiled inferentially: "Boss Zhang, no wonder you don't treat money as money, and if you earn it, you will directly smash it into the NB laboratory, it turns out that money is just a blank check for you, only productivity and means of production are wealth, and science and technology are the first productive forces, which is more than holding money to maintain its value!"
