Volume 2 The Wind and the Grass and the Horses' Hooves Chapter 16 Strike Head-on

"The Zeng family has been in the limelight for the past two years, but I have to say that Zeng Huaide's kid does have two brushes, which is not like Zeng Huaide, and I have to admit it, so it is not difficult to understand why the Zeng family spared no effort to give him the opportunity to create zào.\\"

Lu Zhengdong nodded when he heard it and said:

"Oh, I work in the local area, I don't know much, tell me about it."

Zeng Huaide has really made some achievements in the Economic Commission in the past two years, and this time Zeng Huaide wants to go up, and basically he has not heard any opposition. This says a lot. ”

Lu Zhengdong groaned, Zeng Xuanlin was a government official like him after all, and his speech was not as straightforward as Zhao Yimang, Lu Zhengdong carefully understood the meaning of Zeng Xuanlin's words.

"Yimang, you still come to this set, don't sell it."

Zeng Xuanlin, who hadn't spoken much on the side, pursed his lips and scolded with a smile. Although Zeng Xuanlin is also surnamed Zeng, he has nothing to do with the Zeng family.

"This seminar, the participants are very heavy, and the coverage is very wide, not only the power system, hehe, it can be said that there are many talents, shining brightly. Especially the power system, it is pouring out of the nest, hehe, their background, you should be clear, but let Zeng Huaide speak, what does this mean? ”

"They are not very close to the Zeng family."

Zeng Xuanlin said with some skepticism.

"Originally, they thought it was a matter of ten scoops and nine stability, but the shape is not forgiving, after the Party Congress, such changes are very subtle, the times are different, they are now criticized and criticized a lot, I am afraid that they are now not sure, and it may be the best choice to join the vertical and horizontal."

Lu Zhengdong actually vaguely guessed when Zeng Huaide appeared at the seminar, so he didn't say anything, "oh", noncommittal.

"Zeng Huaide actually wants to convey a message, and this is also a great thing for the Zeng family and Zeng Huaide personally, and economic construction is the main theme. If we want to make political achievements, we must engage in the economy, and if we want to carry out economic construction, we cannot do without electricity, and if we receive support in this regard in the future, it will be tantamount to adding wings to the tiger. And if Zeng Huaide can shine at this seminar. That is undoubtedly of great benefit to Zeng Huaide's future political career, but they are not as good as others, ignoring you who just arrived in the capital, and the result is a blockbuster. You're the one who won the house. Not only is it deflated, but the direction of the power reform is probably really going to change. ”

Lu Zhengdong couldn't help but shake his head, and said with a slight smile:

"Actually, I'm just duty, I don't kill Beren, Beren will die by me. Isn't this account going to be counted on my head, I didn't expect to offend people as soon as I entered Beijing, I was really shot while lying down......"

"What the Commission does is to offend people, in fact, you will offend people in any position, even if you don't do anything, it will also offend people, because maybe someone is still worried about your position, so it doesn't matter who offends people, what matters is who offends and what you get. You will get no less benefit from this meeting than Zeng Huaide. Hehe, the applause on the field was very warm at that time, what does this mean? It shows that everyone understands people and must change!

Not to mention the people who have the opportunity to be involved in the power system, hehe. You don't know any of this? You're typical, cheap, and ......."

Lu Zhengdong's heart moved slightly, he didn't expect this layer, if the power reform is really carried out according to his vision, although it is not possible to reshuffle the cards in terms of personnel. But all aspects must take the opportunity to break the situation of one dominance. Originally, there were no resources at all in this area, so there was an opportunity.

Zhao Yimang wandered around the fringes of the system, and the so-called authorities were obsessed with bystanders, and he found that some changes have gradually taken place in the current trend of employing people; on the basis of the four modernizations of cadres, more attention is paid to the training of grassroots units and the qualifications of local independence; when other conditions are similar, the advantages in this regard may play an unexpected role in the future competition.

Xue Yu sat on the side and listened silently, a pair of beautiful eyes emitting a different kind of light. Women, especially women like her, are the most curious about this kind of anecdote, and the protagonist of the matter is still her own man, Xue Yu can imagine Lu Zhengdong's kind of guidance and exaltation on the stage, and there may be many people below who are staring at him with admiration and even admiration......

Although she strictly belongs to this circle, the environment in which she lives is different, and she also knows very well that Lu Zhengdong is very good, but she never thought that there were so many things above, and the complexity of it made her speechless.

It's just that Lu Zhengdong didn't want to mention these things in front of her, and so did other people, if it weren't for Lu Zhengdong's presence, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to hear this. Perhaps, in their opinion, women are inherently disliked by politics.

Thinking of this, Xue Yu glanced at Lu Zhengdong again, and this eye seemed to contain some complicated feelings.

Lu Zhengdong saw that it was almost the same when it came to this, and it would be boring after that, so he said:

"Alright, alright, don't say anything about what you have and don't have. I've already eaten, you haven't eaten yet, eat, eat, talk......"

As soon as Lu Zhengdong said this, the people at the table really felt hungry, so they no longer sighed, but they didn't let him go.

"Zhengdong, it's because of you today that we're so hungry, we don't care yet, but let the two ladies Xue Yu and Zhongqin also starve, do you think the three glasses of wine that are late should be punished?"

Zhao Yimang shook the wine glass in his hand and looked at Lu Zhengdong with "bad intentions".

The others were coaxing, and Xue Yu couldn't help.

"Well, since I'm late, I should be punished and I admit the punishment, but you can't pour me desperately after these three cups, I still have to drive, I don't care myself, there is still snow jade sitting in the car."

Lu Zhengdong can drink it, but he doesn't dare to drink the first three glasses of wine like this, because everyone here is fighting from the wine forest with the "alcohol test", and there is no need to mention the amount of alcohol they drink, leaving no room for him, and it will be difficult to deal with it if he will be in a wheel battle for a while.

"These three cups are done first, and we will talk about it later. Don't worry, we won't let you get drunk, and we will let you take your daughter-in-law home safely. ”

"Yes, Zhengdong, your daughter-in-law is watching from the side, man. You have to have the courage of a man, come, do it. ”

Pu Zhongqin is also on the side, Pu Zhongqin is only two or three years older than Xue Yu, and her mother and Lu Zhengdong's aunt are best friends. The main thing is to accompany Xueyu and take care of it. Of course, Pu Zhongqin also hopes to get along with these people. Thank you very much for taking care of us.

Lu Zhengdong glanced at Xue Yu and drank three glasses in a row.

Xue Yu also glanced at Lu Zhengdong, didn't say anything, just scooped up Lu Zhengdong's bowl. He was served a bowl of hot soup.

"Oh, this is not married yet, and he is raising his eyebrows like this, loving and loving. Well, you're getting married anyway, so why don't you just practice it today? ”

The people at the table were all coaxing. jokingly asked the two to have a glass of wine, and the atmosphere on the wine table suddenly became lively.

"Zhengdong, Mr. Mu, they have been talking about you, everyone knows that you have just arrived in the capital, it is not easy to disturb, when are you free, sit together?"

Lu Zhengdong nodded:

"I've always had the opportunity to sit with these old friends, and sometimes it's very rewarding to talk to each other. It's just that I'm afraid it's not good for this time, after being so relaxed and happy tonight, I'm going to be busy for a while, I'm afraid I won't even have the opportunity to go out to eat with everyone, and I'm busy for a while. I'll contact you ......."

You can't get too close to the merchants, but you can't help but make friends, the relationship that should be maintained still has to be maintained, and he has been in the capital for a while. He should have contacted these people as well, but he was about to go on a business trip. I really can't pull out.

"Well, I know this is an extraordinary time, and it must be enough for you to be busy for a while."

"Well, Mr. Mu and those friends, you can help me with a lot of kind words......

Zhao Yimang nodded, in fact, Lu Zhengdong didn't need to explain to him at all, Lu Zhengdong was the biggest official in a group of people, as an official like Lu Zhengdong, it was impossible to have no shelf, but this shelf was placed in front of whom, and in front of this group of people, Lu Zhengdong didn't put up a shelf at all, and he was very comfortable with Lu Zhengdong, so it was very important......

……

After the banquet, everyone went back happy, but Xue Yu had an indescribable mood, Lu Zhengdong gave her a very different feeling today, the kind of faint, buried in the depths with a melancholy temperament, seemed to make her feel even more excited. But after this feeling, there was another feeling rising in her heart, she felt that she had not really entered Lu Zhengdong's inner world, and she did not know and understand Lu Zhengdong in a real sense.

And the two will soon enter the palace of marriage.

Since it has come to such a time, you need to work harder, and happiness is to be fought for by yourself, this is what my mother said......

Xue Yu thought about it, and her mood gradually calmed down, and she slowly fell asleep......

――――――――――――――――

Two days later, Lu Zhengdong quietly came to Hong Kong with a working group, these people came with their own tasks, Lu Zhengdong's task is to assist the Hong Kong government, as much as possible to lock in the time for the speculators to attack Hong Kong, although everyone knows that the goal of this trip is the same, but no one asked much, and even there is no language exchange between each other, in order to hide people's eyes, they just take the business cabin of ordinary flights, after arriving, there is no welcome ceremony, as soon as they get off the plane, they each board the car that comes to greet them, It's all very ordinary cars.

Lu Zhengdong got into one of them, and there were officials from the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the car.

"Director Lu, it's hard work, do you want to rest a little?"

An official from the Liaison Office asked.

"Thank you, you're working harder on the front lines."

"The front line?"

The Liaison Office official smiled, as if taken aback by his statement.

"This is a war, a currency war, a war without the sound of guns but also plays the role of a strong ship and a cannon to plunder wealth, the mountains and rains are coming, this is the calm before the war, let's go straight to the place where we want to go."

The official of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government nodded:

"Yes, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, those countries that fell in the storm, are mired in economic collapse and can only be slaughtered!"

Lu Zhengdong nodded, did not answer, looked at the neat streets outside the window, the bustling crowd and the endless flow of traffic, a prosperous scene, and thought that after being hit by those international speculators, Hong Kong was bruised all over his body, and it was only after a few years that he gradually recovered, Lu Zhengdong's heart was a little heavy, since he lived a lifetime, he must do his best to reduce such damage!

The officials of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government also quietly looked at this surprisingly young department-level official with some curiosity, and he must be very outstanding in holding a high position at such a young age. Just looking at the solemn expression on his face, he didn't interrupt his thoughts in the end......

The car slowly drove into a place that Lu Zhengdong could not name, and officials from the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government introduced him to some officials of the Hong Kong Financial Authority, the Securities Regulatory Commission, and the Stock Exchange.

"Mr. Lu, I heard that you successfully predicted the occurrence of the Southeast Asian financial crisis last year, what do you think of the next move of Soros and other international speculators? If Soros wants to storm Hong Kong. Will it target the foreign exchange market or the stock market? ”

A financial official of the Hong Kong government asked in Cantonese.

Lu Zhengdong smiled and said:

"I'm not familiar with Soros and others. There's no way they're going to reveal their secrets to me. So I can't predict, I have to work guò to know and know, so that I can have a judgment, and before that. I would like to be able to get to know some of my thoughts and opinions so that I can have a more intuitive understanding of the operation mode of Hong Kong. ”

Officers from the Financial Secretary and the HKMA provided some relevant presentations, highlighting the security design of the Linked Exchange Rate:

"As a world-renowned financial centre, Hong Kong has established a well-established financial system to cope with international competition, but also to guard against speculators. The government controls the exchange rate of the note-issuing banks. It maintains a stable relationship between the entire Hong Kong dollar system and the US dollar; On the other hand, the market exchange rate between banks and the public reflects the actual supply and demand of funds to a certain extent. As far as currency speculators are concerned, the combination of the two is like a tiger's mouth, exposing speculators to the risk of being swallowed up, and in July, international investors twice speculated and sold off in large quantities, hitting the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar. But none of them were bargained, which is also due to the design of the system......"

Lu Zhengdong nodded, the Hong Kong government is sure that it will be attacked, but it is still cautiously optimistic about the result, and Lu Zhengdong does not think there is anything wrong with this idea. After all, the situation of Hong Kong in all respects is many times better than that of those countries and regions that have fallen, and until he finds some evidence, he is not convincing in what he says, so he says:

"Linked exchange rates coexist with market exchange rates, fixed exchange rates with floating exchange rates. It is the core of Hong Kong's linked exchange rate system. The Linked Exchange Rate System came into being in conjunction with the Sino-British negotiations on the sovereignty of Hong Kong, and it has been seen for more than a decade since then. Hong Kong's economy is operating well, its status as an international financial, trading and shipping centre has been consolidated and strengthened, and the Hong Kong dollar has an outstanding reputation and strong popularity......

However, the two shocks in July, the other party's main attack is the Thai baht, for the Hong Kong dollar can only be regarded as a test at most, this time, the situation has changed fundamentally, sweeping the huge amount of money accumulated in the financial markets of many countries in Southeast Asia, never want to return empty-handed, the Chinese people have an old saying, those who come are not good and good do not come, in such an extremely difficult background, and in front of such a vicious speculator, it is too early to make a conclusion, I still say that, wait until I work, and then make a judgment, Please also prepare me to provide me with the information I have listed and a quieter and more convenient office environment as fully as possible......"

Lu Zhengdong still did not express any opinions, although the relevant personnel of the Hong Kong government still seemed very polite, but Lu Zhengdong could feel that these people should have great doubts about whether he has the ability in this regard.

It is no wonder that Hong Kong is one of the world's major international financial centers, and its practitioners are all elite talents who have been working in this field for many years and are full of professional knowledge, while in the mainland, the real financial market has just started, and its practitioners are like babies who have just begun to babble, and they are so polite to him, half because he was sent by the central government, and he was sent by the vice premier in the central government, who they have a very good opinion of, and this face still has to be given; On the other hand, the SAR Government has just been established and has not yet undergone tests and experiences, and they themselves are not confident enough to listen to the opinions of other quarters......

Lu Zhengdong quietly looked at the photo of Soros hanging on the wall.

Soros looks strong, like an athlete. His hair is short, slightly wavy, and he wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Some say he looks like an economics professor or a ski instructor. And under his photograph there is a motto: "I was born poor, but I must not die poor." ”

It is said that this is Soros's creed, hanging in his office.

The first time was in '92, when many Western European economies, including the United Kingdom, experienced an economic downturn, and Soros took advantage of the British government's insistence that the pound would not depreciate to launch an attack on the British financial market.

On September 16, in just one day, Soros made a massive profit of $958 million and forced Britain to withdraw from the European monetary system.

Five years later, this financial tycoon began to set its eyes on the Asian financial market, and after several cities, it also aimed at Hong Kong, and even arrogantly declared that the Hong Kong government would be defeated, and how arrogant its arrogance was.

How big is Soros's name? If a forex trader hears the news that the central bank is intervening in the market, he will laugh and do whatever he wants. But as soon as they hear that Soros is coming, all traders will immediately jump up, knock over the computer, and wipe out all the positions that are trading in the opposite direction of Soros!

In the nineties, foreign exchange traders from all over the world were first afraid of the Federal Reserve, and the second was Soros.

It can be compared with the financial management institutions of the world's first super-powerful country, and you can imagine its prestige!

To be able to cut down such an opponent is what a happy life it should be!

Lu Zhengdong also felt that he had a long-lost passion and impulse stirring in his body, but he quickly suppressed this feeling, and if he wanted to give Soros a head-on blow, he had to do his best to find his cover door......
