As for spiritual enjoyment, it is not the pursuit of the nouveau riche. Membership in a high-end club is enough. Show off your love however you want.
The restaurant in the Regal Club is very authentic. Takeda Kohi was full of praises for the food. Meng Yang and Xue Nannan also seemed to enjoy it. Only Yushang secretly frowned at his forked sashimi, wasabi and tasteless sushi. I just paid back the sake I brought. The key is that I don’t have any oil or water. No matter how much I eat, I can’t fill my stomach. I have to get some braised pork later.
With Yu Yan's limited appetite, he can't hold back his hunger no matter how much other food he eats.
The body of an athlete is more interested in big fish and meat. For the sake of Koki Takeda’s three billion yen interest-free loan, the minister has no choice but to not criticize the kid’s bullshit cooking and even pretend to praise it a few times. Let Takeda Koki's secretly bleeding heart get a little comfort
Have a great lunch
"Let's go for a walk, don't take the car, and exercise together."
After sending Takeda Hiroki away, Xue Nannan suggested:
"OK"
Minister Yu was the first to agree that he exercised a lot every day.
Ma He is not old enough, so he has no objection. Meng Yang, a young man, has no right to speak and can only follow the leader in a hurry.
Yu Yan and Xue Nannan walked side by side and were very close to each other. After taking only two steps, Yu Yan's big hand stretched out and took Xue Nannan's slender hand. Because today is a negotiation. Xue Nannan is dressed very formally. She has a light blue professional suit and a delicate and gorgeous bun. She is very noble and elegant. However, walking hand in hand with this guy in the club somewhat affects her image. Note that her company is the largest shareholder of the club. Ms. Xue is also the club's biggest shareholder. Many staff members of the regular club know her. She usually treats Xue Nannan with the utmost respect. Now she looks like this. I don’t know how many glasses she dropped along the way.
Yu Yan seemed to know what Xue Nannan was thinking and whispered in her ear: "I have paid close attention to you or I will hug you."
Xue Nannan glared at him again and turned his head, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Meng Yang, who was walking behind, naturally saw this scene and quickly turned his head away.
Look no further
It would be rude to keep staring at the hands held by Minister Yu and Miss Xue. It is not the attitude that a subordinate should have.
However, Ma He turned a blind eye and did not show any strange color on his face. Moreover, his mind was indeed not on this. He frowned and asked, "Mr. Yu, I have a question. I don't quite understand why you insist on settling in US dollars."
Yu Yan knew he would ask this question and replied with a smile: "The reason is very simple. The kid is always preoccupied and the smartest. So based on today's situation, I guess there is no guarantee that the Japanese yen will not appreciate in the future. It seems that it will be an interest-free loan after three years." The interest on the repayment may be extremely high and we will suffer a huge loss.”
Ma He had little contact with international finance. He was confused for a moment and was still thinking carefully about what Yu Yan said. Xue Nannan couldn't help but said in surprise: "In appreciation, you mean that the yen may appreciate in the next three years."
"Yeah, what's so weird about this? Hasn't the yen been appreciating since the Plaza Accord was signed?"
Yu Yan explained
"No, no, appreciation is appreciation, but the peak has passed in the past two years and has been relatively stable. In three years, the appreciation has increased by 50%. Do you know what this concept is? You will go bankrupt."
Xue Nannan has already pointed out the crux of the problem as if he were an international financial expert.
At this time, Ma He and Meng Yang slowly turned around and vaguely understood what Yu Yan meant. However, thinking clearly cannot be done in a short time. For officials from the mainland, this is a relatively complicated matter. question
"If they go bankrupt, that's all I want."
Yu Yan shrugged his shoulders and said with a very obvious look of gloating. It seemed that Minister Yu would be very happy whenever the little devil was in trouble. This shows that Minister Yu is not a good person. He is a narrow-minded nationalist who only cares about his own country and nation and is very concerned about the little devil. Lack of philanthropy
Just because you don't have fraternity with the little devil doesn't seem to make you a bad person.
"How do you know"
Xue Nannan simply stopped and stared at Yu Yan's dark eyes, as if he had caught another major business opportunity.
It was also a major business opportunity
Yu Yan said with a smile: "This has something to do with the situation in the United States. The Yankees fought in Iraq not long ago. It was impressive, but this war did not do any good to the United States. President Bush wants to rely on the halo of a wartime president to seek re-election. If the domestic economy of the United States The situation is very good, and Bush will not do this. I guess his re-election is in doubt. However, no matter which president comes to power, there seems to be only one way to change the domestic economic situation in the United States, and that is to cut off the flesh of the little devils to make up for the loss of the Americans. The kid who loses money is destined to be a tragedy. The best way to cut off the kid's flesh is to force the yen to continue to appreciate and make the company and the government lose everything. Only then can the American Koki Takeda be saved. This kid is passing on the disaster to the Japanese under the pretext of interest-free loans. This little devil is quite shrewd."
Ma He looked at Yu Yan with shock and admiration in his eyes.
This person is really not simple. It seems that no tricks can deceive him. Even the general trend of the United States and China is clear. If not, he might be fooled. If the Japanese yen really wants to appreciate and settle in Japanese yen, how can we still afford it?
Meng Yang's head was spinning very fast but he asked doubtfully: "If the minister is like this, why did he agree to give us an interest-free loan?"
Yu Yan said with a smile: "Hey, this seems to be the idea of a liar. If you meet someone who knows something, you will suffer a little loss. If you meet someone who is confused, you will make a lot of money. According to the current domestic situation, there are still more confused people. Takeda Koki, this little guy The Japanese were afraid that I would spoil his good deeds, so they could only hold their noses and admit it."
Ma He and Meng Yang looked at each other and were a little speechless.
If you are not careful, you may become a fool. However, your understanding of the general trend of international finance is really lacking. It is not unfair to say that they are fools.
The corner of Xue Nannan's mouth curled up and she smiled again. She looked a little cunning. It seemed that Miss Xue was starting to make plans for others again. How could she be willing to have such a feast before her if she didn't get a share of it?
Yue Yan liked Xue Nannan's cunning the most, so he immediately teased her a few more words. Then the topic changed and Xue Nannan suddenly said something that made Yu Yan's heart skip a beat: "Grandpa may want to meet you..."
"Ah" Mr. Xue wanted to see him. Yu Yan was shocked.
After getting along with Yu Yan for so long, Yu Yan would be a fool if he couldn't guess whose granddaughter Xue Nannan is.
Two hours later, under the introduction of Xue Nannan, Yu Yan sat face to face with Mr. Xue for the first time.
Mr. Xue, who is 70 years old this year, does not look old. At first glance, he seems to be under 70 years old. What is different from the image on TV is that he is actually a bit thin and elegant. He wears a pair of large-framed gold-rimmed glasses. And Confucianism is a bit gentler than Zhang Siwen
Yu Yan took a few steps to reach Mr. Xue and said respectfully: "Hello, old man."
"Haha, I have long said that I want to meet you. Nannan has said it several times but has not arranged a time. We finally met today. There is a saying that is so good that it is better to meet. It was only when we met that I realized that Yuyan, you are very different from the legendary one." Xue The old man cannot be considered a true southerner in a narrow sense. His Mandarin is relatively standard. "There are two things that impressed me deeply. One is that he is younger than I thought, and the other is that he is a little darker than I thought."
The more he said the sentence, the more Yan laughed easily. You can understand that Mr. Xue is a leader who is very good at controlling the atmosphere. His standard Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, and majestic appearance were also quite official in ancient times.
"Hey, I just tan a little bit in the summer. If I don't get white in the winter, people won't be able to tell I'm dark." Yu Yan's answer was also very interesting.
"Haha, if you can't tell it's black, it's not called black." Mr. Xue smiled happily.
The meeting place was a hidden club, which was arranged by Xue Nannan. After the greetings were passed, they sat down and chatted casually.
Yu Yan also knew that today's meeting was just an initial contact and it was impossible to discuss any in-depth topics. Besides, he and Mr. Xue had no contact and probably had very few common topics.
But national leaders are national leaders with their own differences. After talking about Yu Yan’s work and the customs and customs of Sanlu Province, Mr. Xue suddenly and unexpectedly cut into a very serious topic.
Mr. Xue suddenly laughed: "Yu Yan, do you want to take the middle path and have both sides, or do you want to rely on one family?"
Mr. Xue's question was very direct, and Yu Yan had to answer it directly: "My vision is still low now. Managing Taocheng first is the most important thing."
In fact, Yu Yan was careless, which meant that he would not take any route.
But it is impossible for people to follow any route in the officialdom. Especially Yueyan, although he is young but has already entered the officialdom, he must have a long-term vision.
When Mr. Xue saw that Yu Yan was avoiding important matters, he smiled lightly, with a trace of ridicule appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Yu Yan smiled at Mr. Xue's sarcasm: "I have been thinking about taking a family route since I met Nan Nan. Becoming attached to a big family will definitely avoid many detours and reduce risks. With family power, The speed of support and promotion will be faster and more reliable, but at the same time, it is easy to become a political victim of the family."
Mr. Xue waved his hand: "If you don't have the ability, if you don't rely on the family, you will become the victim of others. It's a good thing that you can position yourself correctly, but don't forget that in the Xue family, at least when I am still alive, others will not touch you easily." This guarantees that your entry into the Xue family’s core system will be beneficial without any harm.”
The old man did treat Yu Yan with the utmost benevolence and righteousness. Even if he didn't say anything, Yu Yan could guess the old man's true thoughts.
"No matter where I go, I will treat Nan Nan well. He and I will always be best friends." Yu Yan did not answer the old man's question directly but said what the old man cared about most.
Mr. Xue was finally moved. He looked Yu Yan up and down and wanted to say something, but it just turned into a long sigh: "You are really a very smart young man. You have a very accurate starting point when looking at problems, and you can always understand everyone's most important point." No matter what you need, I am still very grateful to you for your kindness in saving Nan Nan once..."
Yu Yan just listened quietly to Mr. Xue's words without expressing any opinions or following along.
"Forget it, let's not discuss this issue. I found that you are quite calm." Mr. Xue waved his hand and suddenly changed the topic and said, "Have you noticed that the domestic political situation is very sensitive after the New Year?"
Although Yu Yan didn't know how serious it was, he still nodded respectfully.
The old man nodded slightly and seemed to appreciate Yu Yan's calmness and asked unhurriedly: "The Soviet Union is very sensitive recently. What do you think?"
The monk Yu Yanzhanger couldn't figure out why he contacted the Soviet Union again. The leader's thinking is really hard to fathom.
But he was confused. Yuyan knew that Mr. Xue might be testing his political wisdom.
Yu Yan said calmly: "Mr. He wanted to carry out comprehensive liberalization. If he wanted to build a new order, he would first destroy the old order, but he forgot that all his power and prestige belonged to this old order, and he had no grasp of the new order he wanted to establish. It’s not okay to leave others to perform like this.”
Yu Yan talks casually without any hint of delay.
A glimmer of light flashed in Mr. Xue's eyes and he looked at Yu Yan again and then said: "Yes, everything has a process of accumulation. The old system of the Soviet Union is indeed not very advanced, but it has been implemented for seventy years and three generations. Basically, everyone All have adapted to this system. Of course, any system will have drawbacks. There can be no perfect affairs in this world, let alone a perfect political system. In addition, the ruling party of the Soviet Union has been unable to combat the phenomenon, and it is inevitable that social conflicts will gradually intensify. Gorbachev did not make great efforts to rectify the corruption within the ruling party and stabilize his ruling foundation, but naively thought of solving this series of social contradictions through structural reforms. It would not be too much to say that he was whimsical. What do you think of Gorbachev? I think the analysis of my husband's character is quite accurate. The Soviet president is indeed an idealist. His previous promotion path was too smooth, and it was basically smooth sailing. He reached the top leadership before the age of fifty and later became the general secretary. He is used to it. Flowers and applause. An idealist with a gentle personality who is paralyzed by power and thinks that he can do whatever he wants to do may not necessarily be a good leader."
After saying this, the old man seemed to be very interested and slowly asked: "In your opinion, how should the reform be carried out?"
Yu Yan scratched his head and calmed down and said: "The first thing is that the internal opinions must be unified and there must be a stable political system as a support for the successful changes in history. This is the prerequisite for the Shang'an Reform without the full support of Qin Xiaogong. After the death of Qin Xiaogong, Shang An was executed immediately, which is also evidence that Zhang Juzheng's reform was based on his status as the emperor's master. Emperor Wanli was young and had the Queen Mother's support. It was almost Zhang Juzheng who could become the emperor only if he himself was the emperor. It was the same with Anshi's reform. We also had to carry out land reform in the base area. First establish your own stable political base area, you can carry out land reform, but it won't work in guerrilla zones. There is no difference in principle. Our reform starts with the reform of the economic system. After the economic system reform has achieved certain results and gradually integrates with the world, we can then carry out the reform of the political system step by step. This is The correct method and political system reform cannot be rushed. It must be piloted from the grassroots level, repeatedly verified, and then gradually promoted to ensure social stability is the basis for any reform.”
Mr. Xue nodded slightly and pondered for a long time and then said: "Gorbachev was too superstitious about the power in his hands and was too hasty in reforming the political system. It is not that easy. First, we should ensure the stability of the ruling system and the stability of society. Only then can we ensure the stability of the ruling system and the stability of society. Step by step, launching a great emancipation of the mind from top to bottom will only disrupt the general social system. For example, the pace of reform and opening up in the economic field can be expanded and encouraged. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes. As long as the overall situation is stable. If you make a mistake, you can take it back and the impact will not be big, but the political system cannot be changed casually, let alone on a large scale and in an all-round way. That will definitely lead to trouble. Gorbachev is very unclear on this point."
This is actually what Mr. Xue has always advocated. Throughout his life, whether in the war years or the peace and construction years, what Mr. Xue pursued hard was to be steady, not hasty, not impatient, step by step, and finally it came true.
Yu Yan had been feeling dizzy up to this point. He didn't know what Mr. Xue was doing discussing this issue with a young man like him. It wasn't until Mr. Xue said something that Yu Yan suddenly understood.
"Yu Yan, you have saved Nan Nan once and this favor needs to be repaid." Mr. Xue thought for a moment and seemed to have made a decision. "I have an article that will be published in the People's Daily with only your name on it. The specific content is what I just gave you." Can you accept what we are talking about?”
"What?" Yu Yan was finally moved, with unbelievable shock in his eyes.
This is too hard to accept
This is what gamblers do
No matter how stupid Yu Yan is, he knows the stakes here. Once this article is published, it will definitely cause fluctuations in the country. If the wind goes wrong, he may be shattered to pieces.
