Chapter 121 Advice to Presidential Candidates

"What? Someone was arrested? Accused of economic espionage? Zhong Shi, who had been calm, changed his face slightly when he heard the news, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily, leaving only a thin gap.

At this time, it was only more than half an hour since Xu Youtian was taken away, and Zhong Shi had already received relevant news.

Although he couldn't see Zhong Shi's eyes clearly at this time, Andrew could clearly feel a terrifying essence sweeping over his face, making him feel like he was on pins and needles.

After most of the day, Zhong Shi reopened his eyes and said expressionlessly, "Besides, there should be something, right?" Let's just say it all in one go, the worst is the current situation. ”

Andrew's expression slowed slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If he had faced Zhong Shi before, he would not have felt such a great pressure, and since the outbreak of the Asian currency crisis, Zhong Shi's power has increased day by day, and the halo on his head has become more and more dazzling.

Today's Andrew, more often than not, does some covert work, including spying on intelligence, disseminating information to the outside world, etc., and these jobs sometimes need to wander in the gray area, as if what they are discussing now is the latest information obtained from an insider in the Bank of Korea.

Naturally, Andrew was in charge of the contact, and he connected with the South Korean side through Land Rover's security company, and then changed his name to listen to some seemingly inconsequential news from time to time.

Andrew froze. Only then did he speak: "Our informant over there said that this mission is too dangerous, and he is not going to do it. But listening to his tone, he didn't say it very resolutely, but it meant a bit of a price increase! ”

"Markup?" Zhong Shi snorted coldly, pouted and shook his head, "It's really interesting, it seems that it is not one of us who has bought the staff of the Bank of Korea, and there are even people who have taken the lead before us." And from the level and level of the acquisition, it's clear that it's broken into the core of the interior, which is much better than what we're doing. ”

Even if Zhong Shi just said softly. But Andrew's mind was in a hurry. I still can't understand what he meant, which is obviously a little dissatisfied with Andrew's work. Andrew immediately broke out in a sweat and explained in a panic: "Zhong Sheng, this time there is indeed an unspeakable hardship. And it's the first time we've done anything like this. You must know that the other party is an employee of the central bank. Even if we are operating at full capacity. It can only go to the current situation, and it is too dangerous to go any higher. ”

For what Andrew said, Zhong Shi naturally knew it. It's just that he wanted to take the opportunity to knock Andrew, so he took the opportunity to say the above words, and the purpose of the beating had been achieved at this time, so Zhong Shi also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said lightly: "Actually, you have done a good job." Since the other party wants to increase the price, then we will give it to him. It's just that he has to pay enough news as much as he wants, after all, our money is also earned back by hard work. ”

When Andrew heard this, he quietly withdrew from Zhongshi's office with sweat on his head.

……

"Retaliation? Political struggles? Ever since Mr. Seo was taken away abruptly, Mr. Park had been sitting in his luxurious office, smoking cigarette after cigarette, filling the room with smoke.

After squeezing out a cigarette, Park Hee-rae reached for the cigarette case again, only to find that he had unknowingly smoked all the cigarettes. After a deep sigh, he stood up silently, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the beautiful night scene on both sides of the Han River outside, but he still couldn't solve the confusion in his head.

"Is it really commercial espionage, or is it just a retaliation by the New Korea Party against me personally?" Ever since Xu Youtian was taken away, this confusion has been haunting him. If it's the former, he can push the blame away, and if it's the latter, I'm afraid he won't be so easy to pass, maybe the follow-up tricks will continue to be used.

In the final analysis, it is a question of whether to protect or not to protect Xu Youtian. If you protect it, you will inevitably be implicated, and if you don't protect it, it will chill the hearts of your subordinates, and it is really a dilemma.

At this moment, the phone on Park Hee-lai's desk suddenly rang, and the beeping bell was particularly loud in this quiet night. Looking at the telephone just a few meters away, Park Xilai subconsciously frowned, and was about to call the secretary outside the door in to reprimand him, but after glancing at it again, he suddenly moved in his heart, walked two steps quickly, walked to the desk and picked up the phone.

"Mr. Park, are you okay?" Park Xilai didn't speak, a heavy man's voice came from the microphone, and he only said a little greeting, and then said to himself: "The news from the intelligence agency is that the kid surnamed Xu has privately passed on the news about the country's foreign exchange reserves abroad, and this time I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape." But don't worry too much, he really knows a limited amount of what he knows, and according to sources, this time a large hedge fund in the United States bought him and used inside information to short the Korean won, I believe it will not involve you. ”

Park Xilai was stunned when he heard this, and then he was immediately overjoyed, and thanked him again and again into the microphone: "Mr. Kim, thank you so much." You're like my parents, no, you're even closer than my parents......"

He actually copied Xu Youtian's words of "kneeling and licking" him on weekdays, and then took it to "kneel and lick" Mr. Jin on the phone, and there was no shame on his face, everything was so natural. It's a pity that Xu Youtian is not here, if he is here, he will definitely clench his fists, wave at Park Xilai, and praise sonorously: "Oba, fighting!" (Big brother, come on!) )”

Such a naked whisker made the person on the other end of the phone speechless for a while, and it took a while to react, and said lightly: "Mr. Park, you are already in a mess, take this opportunity to take a good rest, don't think too much." ”

Park Hee-lai heard these words and remembered his performance just now. couldn't help blushing, and secretly shook his head at his gaffe, but he quickly came back to his senses, anyway, the other party couldn't see his performance, straightened his waist and said into the microphone: "Mr. Jin, thank you this time." I don't know what I can do? ”

He naturally knew very well that others would not help him for no reason. Now he is spending a lot of effort to help him find out the case, and he is carrying a certain political risk, and if it is just simple help, it is estimated that even he does not believe it. So it didn't take long for the favor.

There was silence on the other end of the "......" phone. Just when Park Xilai thought that the other party had hung up, suddenly the other end said again: "President Park, I am just a member of the National Assembly, and I am still in the opposition. It's not appropriate to get too much into state affairs. But I'm just like ordinary people in the Republic of Korea. I'm very worried about the current plight of the won! ”

Listen to the strings and know the elegance. Park Hee-rae immediately understood, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Kim, since you mentioned the foreign exchange issue of the Korean won. As an authority on this matter, I can't help but say a few more words. Although the won seems to have stabilized temporarily, in fact, the attack of international capital on the won has always existed, and there is a tendency to intensify, and I am also miserable. At present, the Bank of Korea's foreign exchange reserves are not very much, and if they continue to be depleted like this, sooner or later they will be over. As the saying goes, long pain is better than short pain, and now is the time for a strong man to break his arm! ”

......There was silence on the other side of the microphone for a while, and only after a long time did a leisurely sigh be heard, and then the other party asked in a deep voice: "Although I don't know much about economics, I also know that once the Korean won is depreciated, the people's living standards will drop a lot." Thailand, Indonesia and other countries are lessons from the past! ”

When Park Hee-lai heard this, he was quite unimpressed, this kind of guy who talks about the "Republic of Korea" at every turn, if he is a person who does not know the truth, he still thinks that the other party is an unreliable person who brags nonsense. But Park Hee-rae knows very well that the other party is one of the most popular candidates for the next president, but now he is acting more and more on his behalf, which also makes him a little surprised.

However, Park Hee-rae did not dare to offend him, not to mention that he is currently the most popular presidential candidate, and the identity of the other party as a member of Congress alone has to make him cheer up. After laughing dryly, he said in a flattering tone: "This is something that cannot be avoided!" But Mr. Kim, you should also see the good side, if the won is cheaper, it is great news for our exports, and then our Korean manufacturing will be able to sweep the entire world and quickly defeat Japan! ”

The other party was speechless for a while. A mature politician is not thinking about anything imaginary first, and it is obvious that exports surpass Japan's, but there are many problems that need to be solved urgently, such as the chaos in the financial industry, the difficulty of financing large conglomerates, and the need to repay a large amount of foreign debt in the short term.

This Mr. Kim was silent for a moment, and after Park Hee-lai came to his senses, he asked slowly, "Governor Park, is there really no other way for us to have won the won?" Although I am just an ordinary citizen, my love for the Republic of Korea is as deep as yours. ”

"Fuck, that's hypocritical!" Park Hee-lai's heart felt a chill, and he almost blurted out what he was thinking. However, after calming down, he could only say humbly: "Senior, your words really moved me too much. I'll tell you the truth, I'm in tears right now. Speaking of this, he also choked up twice very cooperatively, and then continued: "Senior, there is only one way to solve today's predicament, and that is to ask the international community for help, and at the same time let go of the depreciation of the won and no longer intervene in the market." ”

"Oh? How can this be explained? The voice on the other side of the microphone immediately rose high.

Park Xilai hurriedly put away the choked voice and analyzed one by one: "At present, the government is extremely resistant to international rescue, and it also wants to reorganize the financial system under the name of the Ministry of Finance, which is an unreasonable and extremely anti-trend approach. However, if the Korean economy can be kept open and the economy can be stimulated in the shortest possible time, the only way to do so is through the depreciation of the won. Although the South Korean won has depreciated by more than 20%, this is still not enough, and in my opinion, it will be at least 20% to depreciate the real exchange rate. As for the external debt, it can only be achieved through international bailouts, and in my judgment, the South Korean economy will reach another level in less than a year, or less. ”

"But...... However, the current government is not willing to turn to the international community for help. As far as I know, there is a high degree of unanimity within the New Korea Party. The voice in the microphone was noticeably quicker, and it was clear that it was to the point.

Park Hee-rae smiled and said: "The more stubborn they are, the better, if the won is released and floated, our economy will be hit hard in the short term, and the people of the New Korea Party are betting on the fate of the country, and it is obvious that they will lose in a mess." If this is the case, as long as the seniors raise their arms and shout and rise up, why worry about the big thing? ”

“……”

There was silence again in the microphone, only the sound of low, heavy breathing. This time, Park Hee-lai did not suspect that the other party hung up the phone, but lay comfortably on his luxurious sofa chair, stilted Erlang's legs, and waited for a long time.

After a full five minutes, a loud and angry voice came from the microphone, scolding Park Xilai: "Governor Park, I'm just a member of Congress, I don't know anything about the economy, and I really can't understand these remarks of yours." Your subordinates are suspected of betraying state secrets, and although I can help you say a few words that do not violate principles, I will never agree to joke about national interests. After finishing speaking, without waiting for Park Xilai to react, the other party hung up the phone heavily.

There was a loud "clang" sound, and it almost didn't deafen the ears of Park Xilai, who was listening. He subconsciously frowned, put down the microphone with only a beep sound, and then said leisurely: "It's so fucking black!" ”

Tiger Fund Headquarters, Manhattan, New York, USA.

Billy. Kim Zheng said something to Julian Robertson with a sad face, and as he spoke, Julian Robertson's face, who was still happy because the won had fallen again, gradually became gloomy.

"So, our inside line has been caught? Wouldn't we be able to monitor the Bank of Korea anymore? After a long silence, Julian Robertson said with a frown and unhappiness.

Billy. Kim rubbed his hands together, looked at Julian Robertson's face nervously, and saw that the boss didn't mean to be angry with him, so he said hesitantly: "Actually...... Actually, boss, we can still ...... The actions of the Bank of Korea can be perceived. It's just ......"

"Just what?" Julian Robertson's eyes suddenly shot a cold light, which turned the nervous Billy. Gold instantly enveloped it. (To be continued......)
