Chapter 57 Dual-track Foreign Exchange System
This meeting was arranged at Zhong Shi's home, Zhong Jianjun and Zhong Jianguo were accompanied by the two brothers, like Zhong Shi and Zhong Yi, these little characters could only sit quietly in the lower seat, and basically couldn't speak except to say hello.
However, Zhong Shi knew very well that this uncle had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and it was likely that he came for the investment he had said earlier, and he already had a comprehensive plan to invest in Zhong Shi in Jiangdong City.
After greeting for a long time, Zhang Yuanchao left a few gifts and said goodbye, after all, before Zhang Wei's mother came to the door, he came to the door like this, which was a little unreasonable. Therefore, even if Zhong Fangzhuo opened his mouth to stay, he also shirked it by taking advantage of being busy with work.
"Why didn't Xiaoli come?" Seeing off Zhang Yuanchao, Zhong Fangzhuo asked a little melancholy. This sentence seemed to ask someone else, and it seemed to be said to himself, which made the people around him speechless for a while.
Zhong Shi knew that this sentence was for him. He hurriedly replied: "Grandpa, take your time, first establish a good relationship with your uncle, and one day your aunt will untie the knot." ”
"That's all there is to it!" Zhong Fangzhuo paused his crutches and sighed rather gloomily.
"Uncle, please drink tea." At a tea restaurant on the southern tip of Hong Kong Island, Zhong Shi pours Zhang Yuanchao tea from a teapot of Shanghaode oolong tea, and dozens of steamers are stacked on a small table, which is full of water chestnut cakes, shrimp buns, barbecued pork buns, xiao long pork ribs and other special dim sum.
On the second day after Zhang Yuanchao visited the Zhong family, Zhong Shi was "ordered" to come to establish a good relationship with this uncle, and through Land Rover, he learned that during this time, Zhang Yuanchao frequently contacted businessmen in the Hong Kong business community who were interested in investing in the mainland, but it seemed that the results were not very good. After all, Koto City is a newly established administrative unit, and its geographical location is not very good.
Zhang Yuanchao subconsciously put up a shelf, but immediately realized that this was not the place for him to set up the score, so he had to raise the teacup a little unconsciously, and his expression looked a little embarrassed.
But after all, he is a figure who has been immersed in officialdom for a long time, and his unnatural expression flashed, and he regained his calm demeanor, and saw him say with a smile on his face: "Xiaoshi, I heard Xiaowei say that your family has had a hard time over the years. But ......" he didn't say the next words. But the meaning is self-evident.
For this nephew, he didn't know how to communicate for a while, so he had to find some topics on the side. According to Zhang Wei's personality, at most he will mention the past. Then he will describe how luxurious the Zhong family's mansion is. How rich the Zhong family is and so on. It's hard for him to remember such a little thing clearly.
"Uncle, that's right." Zhong Shi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the meaning of the words. "In the past few years, my family has made some money and moved to Hong Kong, but after all, we were born in this land, and our roots are still in the mainland."
Zhang Yuanchao smiled, talking to smart people is different, and it is clear at one point. "Xiao Shi, now that you are famous, don't you bother to consider returning to your hometown. Didn't the ancients also say that returning to the hometown in fine clothes will benefit the township. ”
Now that the words have been spoken, Zhong Shi is no longer hidden. "Mayor Zhang, I don't know what specific investment goals we have in the city, I have a little money now, of course, I want to go back to my hometown to invest, but I don't know what to invest."
Since this uncle is putting on an official tone, it is naturally difficult for him to use family affection to win him over, after all, the positions of the two sides are different. However, Zhang Yuanchao is also very good, after hearing that Zhong Shi has the intention of investment, he immediately said: "Since there is the intention of investment, then the things of the project are easy to say." You can send someone to inspect it first and see what projects are suitable. As for policies and taxes, everything is easy to say! ”
"Hmm!" Regarding Zhang Yuanchao's mentality, Zhong Shi knew very well that in order to attract investment, the attitude of officials towards merchants was thousands of times better than that of Zhang Yuanchao now. Zhong Shi thought for a while and said a little uncertainly: "I have a vague idea to build a large-scale film and television city in Jiangdong City. ”
Jiangdong City is located at the junction of the north and south, there are dozens of branches of the Yangtze River, large and small, and there are several hills with low altitude in remote places, from the perspective of topography and climate, almost can meet the shooting of various types of TV movies. In addition, this kind of industry does not produce pollution consumption, and at the same time can accommodate a large number of manpower employment, which can be said to be very suitable for local construction.
In addition to these, coupled with the construction of a series of supporting facilities such as tourism, culture and entertainment, commercial real estate, and high-end villas, it is enough to create a very distinctive cultural new city in the local area, and even become a beautiful tourist business card.
It's just that the construction process may be very long, and it will not even be profitable for several years in the process, but Zhong Shi doesn't care, he has the opportunity to make money in the financial market.
"Studios? Of course, you can. I just don't know how to do it in terms of funding? Zhang Yuanchao said lightly. He's a character who doesn't see a rabbit or an eagle, and although what Zhong Shi said seems to be a big project, he is still a little uneasy until he gets the specific number.
"What do you think of a billion dollars?" Zhong Shi frowned and thought about it, and said tentatively with some uncertainty. For a film and television city, one billion dollars should be more than enough, including the film and television culture company established later.
Great project, absolutely big project! Zhang Yuanchao was happy in his heart, this is simply a political achievement, he is worried that Jiangdong City's investment promotion work will not be able to open the situation, but he does not want Hong Kong's courtesy visit can bring such a large investment. However, his city was extremely deep, and the joy on his face was only slightly revealed, and he pretended to be indifferent again.
Zhong Shi didn't care about him, he was still thinking about the things of the film and television city, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still felt that he hadn't thought about it enough, and it seemed that he had to entrust it to a professional: "Regarding the specific jihua of the film and television city, I will hand it over to a professional real estate company to handle." They will send a professional team to negotiate with Koto City, of course, my name will not appear in any documents during this process, uncle, you can know it yourself. ”
“weishenme?” Rao is Zhang Yuan Dynasty is very deep in the city, and he was also a little moved at this time. He knows very well that this kind of thing is an opportunity to explore the mainland market and make contacts, how can there be people who are not willing to show their heads?
"I'm still too young and naïve, am I?" Zhong Shi said a little self-deprecatingly. He knows how risky it is to deal with the big officials in the mainland officialdom. If history continues according to the original script, one superhero will be ousted in two years, and more officials will fall one after another.
It is no wonder that, with the massive increase in the wealth of society, these people in power can put businessmen in a doom with a little thought. Even some of the "richest men" in the future often ended up in prison because they had too much to do with officials.
What he can do now is not only to find a good agent in the country, but also to manage the relationship with the top level of the state, and avoid domestic political risks as much as possible in the process of accumulating wealth. When his group grows to the point where it is too big to fail, then he will have the weight to speak, and he will not have to be as timid as he is now.
However, if you want to make money in the country, it is basically impossible, there are many people who make rules and do not abide by the rules, at this stage, any person who comes out is enough for Zhong Shi to drink a pot, he still honestly makes money in the market that values the rules.
"That's a good reason! But I'm curious, how can you have so much wealth at such a young age? Zhang Yuanchao's face was full of joy, and Zuihou was still curious to ask his long-standing question.
"O financial markets! There were a lot of opportunities here, and I just read a few books and understood how they worked, and I was lucky enough to make a little bit of money. Zhong Shi snorted and said ominously. Regarding his family history, he naturally doesn't want to say too much, and he doesn't want others to track it down too much.
After thinking about it, Zhong Shi continued: "The preliminary work can be done first, but there are two requirements: first, the funds will be transferred to the corresponding account in ten years, but the first funds must be after January 1, 94; Second, it's my aunt's ......."
For the second condition, Zhang Yuanchao is easy to understand, after all, Zhong Jianli's heart knot has not been completely opened, which naturally requires him to solve it with all his heart. But for the first condition, he was a little incomprehensible.
This is naturally not within his understanding, but Zhong Shi is very clear that on January 1, 94, the Chinese government announced the depreciation of the currency, and under the rigid exchange rate system, the exchange rate can only be adjusted by administrative means, and it is a one-time adjustment in place, adjusting the RMB from the official 5.4 RMB to 1 US dollar to 8.7 RMB to 1 US dollar.
At this time, it was the transition period from the Jihua economy to the market economy in China, because it was not realistic to open up the market all at once, at least the officials thought so, so there was an extremely notorious dual-track system between the supply and demand of various materials, and on the black market of reselling dollars, people with high energy could get dollars at the official exchange rate through connections, and then sell them at market prices, earning double the excess profits.
Naturally, this is the case not only in the dollar, but also in the circulation of various means of production, and the situation of buying and selling the means of production ended in 92, but in the foreign exchange market it did not end until 94.
This one-time depreciation in place makes foreign capital into China complain, when they come in, they may be a dollar for 4 yuan or 5 yuan, now the yuan is 8.7 to 1, which means that their wealth has shrunk by half out of thin air at this time, and it is impossible to go out again. Even if they make double their profits in the past few years, they will end up only about the same as the dollars they had when they first came in, which is equivalent to so many years of hard work.
However, the depreciation is also beneficial, attracting more US dollar capital to enter, after all, now the RMB that can be exchanged has also increased, although the inflation in China has been very strong in recent years, but the gradual opening of a shijie largest market has attracted the attention of almost all capital.
