As the financial center of Pujiang, Shang Zhiyuan's headquarters is located here. k update

Lu Zhengdong took the elevator to the president's office area on the 28th floor, where he inspected and came to Shang Zhiyuan by the way.

Before he could call Shang Zhiyuan, he was stopped by the front desk, and after a while, a secretary from the president's office walked out.

"Looking for President Shang? Sorry, the president is in a meeting. Do you have an appointment? ”

Lu Zhengdong smiled and shook his head.

"Who are you?"

"My surname is Lu, and I am a friend of Mr. Shang."

The secretary looked him up and down, and didn't seem to know where he was coming from, and said:

"Well, why don't you go to the lounge and wait a bit?"

Lu Zhengdong nodded, since he was an uninvited guest, Lu Zhengdong was also prepared to wait.

The secretary led him and was about to go to the lounge, when a personable middle-aged man walked in from outside, saw the secretary bowing slightly, walked over and said with a smile: "Secretary Zhou, how long will your meeting end?"

The person who came was obviously familiar with the secretary surnamed Zhou, and Secretary Zhou said:

"Mr. An, there will be a while, why don't I let Xiao Zhang help you notify?"

"Good. Thank you. ”

The middle-aged man nodded politely.

was treated so unfairly, Lu Zhengdong had to laugh.

"You. . . Yes, Lu Zhengdong?"

While the middle-aged man was talking to the secretary, he actually kept looking at him and hesitated. Asked.

Lu Zhengdong paused, stared at the middle-aged man in front of him for a moment, calling out his name, he was sure that he had never seen this person before-the person who could become Shang Zhiyuan's guest, after seeing it, Lu Zhengdong would never be impressed.

"You are ......"

Lu Zhengdong was sure that he really didn't know the person in front of him, so he asked tentatively.

"I'm Zhou Lisheng, and this is my business card. Mr. Lu's name, I have admired it for a long time. ”

The man's words were not contemptuous, and Secretary Zhou, who was standing on the side, was stunned. She didn't expect that Zhou Lisheng, a famous person in the financial industry, would actually know the young man in front of her. She had thought. Lu Zhengdong is just an extremely ordinary door-to-door negotiator, or after Mr. Shang's old man. In the name of a friend, the purpose of direct conversation with Mr. Shang is carried out.

I didn't expect it...... However, if he is really Mr. Shang's friend, why didn't he make an appointment, and the general manager's office didn't get Mr. Shang's notice? Secretary Zhou stood aside, not knowing how to speak.

And while Lu Zhengdong took Zhou Lisheng's business card, he finally remembered which one was in front of him.

Zhou Lisheng's family background is also extremely deep. It's just that in recent years, he has mainly been active in Hong Kong, and he really has no chance to see him.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhou, and I have admired your name for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet."

Lu Zhengdong politely shook hands with Zhou Lisheng.

Zhou Lisheng looked at his watch and said to Lu Zhengdong with a smile:

"Mr. Shang must have something important, so be it. Mr. Lu, let's go downstairs to the café and sit down, and when Mr. Shang's meeting is over, please let Secretary Zhou tell you on his behalf. ”

Secretary Zhou said:

"Mr. Zhou was too polite, and Mr. Shang's meeting ended. I'll let you know right away. ”

Lu Zhengdong nodded and went downstairs with Zhou Lisheng.

There are still classes in the surrounding office buildings, there are not many people in the café, and the quiet environment is dotted with soothing music, accompanied by the pleasant aroma of coffee, which is very suitable for conversation.

Zhou Lisheng picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. talked about some things about Mr. Shang.

For two relatively strangers. A common acquaintance, Shang Zhiyuan, is undoubtedly the best entry point for the topic. With this entry point, the topic was easy to develop, and the two soon chatted about the world. …,

In fact, both of them were talking and observing each other.

The short conversation also gave Zhou Lisheng a further understanding of Lu Zhengdong.

In fact, he has been watching Lu Zhengdong's group of people, as a person who is well versed in domestic politics and economic affairs, he knows that this group of people is a reserve echelon talent, and in order to understand the trend of domestic politics and economy, we must start from the level of cadre structure. A generation has a generational character. I want to compare with the previous reserve echelon. Kochi has a rich resume and can be said to be synonymous with them...... There are several leading figures in this group of people, such as Zeng Huaide of the National Development and Reform Commission, Zheng Li of the Youth League system, and Lu Zhengdong, the mayor of Mianxi City, and so on.

In the near future, domestic policies will be more reflected in them. They are the most dynamic and enterprising group in the political arena, and they can adjust their own development direction at any time, and they can not be subject to the inevitable constraints and shackles brought about by their status at the top.

In a sense, what they say and what they are doing can be regarded as a brand-new attempt in high-level political reform and economic reform.

Just like the just-concluded Economic Forum for Young and Middle-aged People, in fact, this is the case.

Lu Zhengdong is also thinking about the person in front of him, among these children with backgrounds, the number of people who have always been in business has always been the largest, and those who are engaged in politics, hehe, as time goes by, are becoming less and less, the reason is actually very simple, many people can't bear the hardships, restraints and many helplessness in the journey, and the second is to reach a high position in politics and be favored by all levels of society, which is even more scandalous, which also makes many people prohibitive.

As far as the international community is concerned, the Gulf War has further established the United States' position as the world's hegemon, and at home, the impact of the Gulf War has also been enormous, directly pulling China out of the predicament of being completely isolated by the international community.

Zhou Lisheng talked eloquently, staring at Lu Zhengdong for a while before saying slowly: "The United States has such military strength as a backing, which will inevitably guarantee its economic strength, and the overall strength of the United States is very strong, very strong. ”

Seeing that Lu Zhengdong didn't mean to interface, Zhou Lisheng said again:

"Even I think that in the next fifty or sixty years, the United States will still be the unbeaten, and no other country will be able to shake its superpower."

When he said this, Zhou Lisheng's expression was unusually solemn. It invisibly caused a kind of pressure on Lu Zhengdong. The whole table seemed to be shrouded in some kind of depression.

"It has always been their consistent method to use military strength as a guarantee and an open door as a national policy to maximize economic benefits......

Lu Zhengdong raised his eyebrows slightly, and only said simply. The unconsciously formed momentum struggle between the two returned to a balanced position.

Zhou Lisheng took a sip of coffee lightly, nodded with a slight smile, and said, "The hero sees the same thing." ”

Zhou Lisheng paused and added:

"At present, many people in China are not very aware of this, and they still fantasize about how to deal with the United States, but it is just the spirit of Ah Q."

Lu Zhengdong smiled, this topic is more or less taboo, and it is true that some people in China are a little arrogant. Today. There are many people who are somewhat pessimistic about the long-term economic development of the United States, believing that the new economy of the United States is built in the void, as if a castle in the sky is crumbling.

Lu Zhengdong knows that on a large scale, the holders of those statements have overestimated the inadequacies and shortcomings of the U.S. economy. As long as the United States can maintain its military and political strength, international capital will continue to flow into the United States, and the US economy will occupy a leading role in the world. …,

In particular, the Gulf War further established the hegemonic position of the United States, and now Clinton is in power, the economy has continued to grow, the fiscal deficit has fallen, the inflation rate and unemployment rate have remained at a low level, and international competitiveness has been further enhanced. Under his administration, the United States experienced one of the longest peacetime economic developments in history, and the United States is now in full swing.

Under his administration, the United States experienced one of the longest peacetime economic developments in history, and the United States is now in full swing.

However, Lu Zhengdong did not agree with Zhou Lisheng's judgment that the United States was unbeatable, and Zhou Lisheng was obviously not like him, he was completely unpredictable about some things, and war was a double-edged sword; after entering the new century, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan launched by the United States dragged the United States enough, and during this period, the domestic economy began to exert strength, one eliminated the other's strengths, and the strength of the two sides gradually narrowed.

Although Lu Zhengdong also admits that it is by no means easy to shake the hegemony of the United States, at least it can still threaten its hegemony.

"Mr. Lu seems to have a different opinion on this?"

Zhou Lisheng saw Lu Zhengdong's expression and said with a smile:

"I'm willing to listen to Mr. Lu's opinion."

Lu Zhengdong smiled slightly:

"There is an ancient poem called the country and the mountains have been recognized by talents, each leading the way for hundreds of years, and its practical use of these two poems to describe the ups and downs of the countries of the world should be the most appropriate, the United States really wants to ride the dust, provided that it is not to make big mistakes, but it is very prosperous, and it is inevitable to make mistakes, so there will be such a thing as prosperity and decline, of course, even so, rising stars also need to make the most correct ...... in some of the most important things"

Zhou Lisheng smiled and said:

"It seems that Mr. Lu is relatively optimistic about the United States, hehe......"

Zhou Lisheng saw that Lu Zhengdong did not fully agree with his point of view, so he changed the topic in a timely manner.

Seeking common ground while reserving differences, the two chatted quite speculatively, and the conversation between the two did not last long, Shang Zhiyuan finally appeared, and after confessing his guilt, he introduced the two into his spacious president's office.
