"Secretary Zhang is right. Now that you have taken it out, be prepared to lose money. This is a political task, and money is nothing." Deputy Director Zhuo said quickly.
For them, it is a political mission, and for Yao Yuan, it is a dedication. If they continue to worry about gains and losses, it will really be looked down upon.
The current foreign exchange reserves are not as tight as before. Although they are still insufficient, Deputy Director Zhuo feels much more confident than he did a few years ago.
It can be said that after the Asian financial crisis affected Hong Kong, the central government firmly announced that it would fully support the stable financial development of Hong Kong. A large part of the confidence came from the foreign exchange reserves of hundreds of billions of dollars.
At this time, Yao Yuan took advantage of the situation and asked, "Director Zhuo, can it be clarified that a certain amount of foreign exchange reserves should be used in an emergency?"
Deputy Director Zhuo pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I don't think it's a big problem."
Can you still refuse? You can't refuse. In fact, the national level hopes that private enterprises like Dongfeng Group will start a war on the international hot money trying to disrupt Hong Kong's financial order in the world financial market. After all, there are many restrictions on the entry of the national team, and the current national
The team is still very weak...
Yao Yuan is very satisfied. This commitment is enough.
Seeing that a unified opinion had been formed during the discussion on the ammunition issue, Deputy Secretary Zhang took over and said, "Lao Li, what's going on with those big Hong Kong bosses who want to invest in the UK? Have you talked to them?"
Mr. Li pointed at Yao Yuan with a smile and said, "I asked Xiao Yao to come out for an interview. He has more reputation in Hong Kong than I do."
Yao Yuan said, "Except for Li Bancheng, the other three are unable to go."
Everyone knew about this. President Li asked curiously, "The three major families are deeply rooted in Hong Kong. If they are determined to transfer their assets to the UK, it may be difficult to stop them."
He didn't mean to doubt Yao Yuan's ability, what he said was true.
Yao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it is difficult to stop it. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so I can only use some means. The Xu family has always wanted to return to the shipping industry, so I separated the business of Ocean Shipping Hong Kong and cooperated with them
After establishing a joint venture and giving the joint venture a guaranteed freight volume of 10 million tons per year, the Xu family decisively withdrew from their investment plan in the UK."
"10 million tons guaranteed..." Deputy Secretary Zhang took a slight breath.
Yao Yuan nodded and said, "As for the Guo family..."
He smiled and said, "When I went to visit him, he avoided seeing me. I planned to find an opportunity to talk to him tomorrow. But this afternoon, Yu Yongan suddenly launched a sniper attack on Hong Kong Capital Holdings. In half a day,
Hong Kong-based shares fell by two-thirds."
"Two hours ago, Yu Yong'an called and said that Guo Tairui had used the pre-credit line given to them by HSBC Bank in advance and borrowed a sum of money from Hua Xia United Bank. They have no money to invest in the UK."
President Li didn't know what happened in the afternoon and was shocked and said, "Hong Kong-based shares fell by two-thirds? Then wouldn't the market also fall with it?"
He explained to Deputy Secretary Zhang, "Hong Kong-based stocks are Hang Seng Index stocks, and their rise and fall directly affects the Hang Seng Index."
Yao Yuan said, "Yes, the Hang Seng Index fell by more than a hundred points, and real estate stocks followed suit."
"At this sensitive time, will using such a method cause criticism?" Deputy Secretary Zhang was worried.
Yao Yuan explained with a smile, "Yu Yongan is known as a reckless man in the stock market in Hong Kong. He found a reason that fits his personality to attack Hong Kong-based stocks. There should be no problem."
"Mr. Yu thought that Guo Tairui was not giving him face by treating Yao Yuan too slowly, and at that time Guo Tairui asked his daughter-in-law who had not yet passed the door to block A Yuan and Mr. Yu at the gate, which made Mr. Yu very embarrassed." Lin Wei added.
Deputy Secretary Zhang frowned, "So arrogant?"
The leaders of Guangdong Province "spoiled" Yao Yuan. In the past, provincial leaders looked up to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong bosses with a net worth of over 100 million were warmly received by provincial leaders.
Now, even if the top ten richest people in Hong Kong go to a Guangdong city and want to meet provincial leaders, the provincial leaders have to check the schedule first, and they are no longer waiting to receive them in person. Now when the leaders of Guangdong Province face the big bosses in Hong Kong, their mentality
It has been very peaceful.
"It is certain to be arrogant, and it is inevitable that they look down on the mainland, but this is nothing. Soon they will envy us." Yao Yuan did not take it seriously.
His mentality has undoubtedly affected other people. The leaders participating in this meeting will have changes in their view of Hong Kong businessmen.
Deputy Secretary Zhang said, "You don't have to give them a good look. I have discovered now that blindly giving preferential treatment is not enough. They think we are easy to bully. It is necessary to give them some good looks."
"Secretary Zhang, don't worry, I will find a way to mobilize the centripetal force of Hong Kong's richest people." Yao Yuan said.
"I'm counting on you for finance, Xiao Yao." Deputy Secretary Zhang said.
Yao Yuandao said, "This is our generation's obligation. Secretary Zhang, Mr. Li, and Li Bancheng's investment plan in Britain may not be stopped. I have no better way."
"It's already very good. As for Li Bancheng, let him go if he wants to go. It's not sweet to be too forceful." Mr. Li said thoughtfully.
Deputy Secretary Zhang said, "Yes, his family alone can't cause any trouble, as long as it doesn't affect other large companies in Hong Kong."
"I can guarantee that no one will follow him." Yao Yuan was very confident.
Mr. Li said, "Xiao Yao, please pay more attention."
In the next half hour, a few things were briefly discussed. At the end of the meeting, Deputy Secretary Zhang asked Yao Yuan and Lin Wei to stay.
When there were only three of them left, Deputy Secretary Zhang invited the two of them to the coffee table and started making tea himself.
"The Huaji-Wuzhou Railway has been approved, news this morning." Deputy Secretary Zhang said with a smile.
Yao Yuan was stunned and said excitedly, "Has it been approved? Great, great!"
He breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
The Hua-Hajiu Railway has started construction, and what Yao Yuan is worried about is the short-distance but very significant Hua-Jiwu Railway, which has finally been completed.
After the construction of this more than 500 kilometers of railway, the Siberian Railway is no longer the only option for China's goods traveling to Europe and the Middle East, and the distance has been greatly shortened.
On the basis of the Hua-Jiujiang-Uzbekistan Railway, Yao Yuan can promote the Central Asia No. 2 railway line plan.
"You are a young entrepreneur with vision and courage. This is the leader's evaluation." Deputy Secretary Zhang smiled.
Yao Yuan couldn't help but think of that great man. He passed away a few months ago. The people of the whole country lost a great leader. After all, he was not able to see Hong Kong return to the motherland with his own eyes.
Feeling sad in his heart, Yao Yuan sighed softly.
Deputy Secretary Zhang felt the same, sighed, and said, "The high-speed railway concept you submitted has been studied by the province at a meeting, and in principle it has been agreed to be a pilot project. Shanghai is already doing research in this area, and we cannot fall behind."
He said in a deep voice, "However, the key is still technology."
China's ordinary railway technology is still under development, and it is completely blank in the field of high-speed railways.
Yao Yuan said, "Chunfeng Academy of Sciences has been doing research in this area three years ago, and we have a group of foreign experts. But to catch up, it is too late to rely on self-research alone. Now that the province has agreed, we will talk to the Ministry of Railways
Cooperate and introduce a number of technologies from abroad."
"The province has no money, so you mainly rely on yourself. Of course, the province will fully support your negotiations with the Ministry of Railways. Xiao Yao, compared with high-speed railways, the subway is more urgent. The province organized experts to study the proposal you submitted.
According to the province's future economic forecast report, urban transportation in the provincial capital will encounter bottlenecks around 2005. We basically agree with this conclusion, and it is imperative to build a subway," Deputy Secretary Zhang said.
Yao Yuan said with a smile, "This needs to be discussed between the province and the Ministry of Railways. We are a private enterprise after all."
"The province will not take the initiative to talk to the Ministry of Railways. We will do it ourselves first. The province has designated the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences to be responsible for technology research and development, and will adopt the method of building highways. The Provincial Communications Investment Group and Nanfang Industrial will be responsible," Deputy Secretary Zhang said
.
The Ministry of Railways is famous for being very difficult to talk about. They are managed according to regions. One railway bureau is responsible for one region. Some areas in Guangdong Province belong to the Nanning Bureau. When it comes to the reconstruction and expansion of some railway lines, the province has no say.
use.
If it wants the research institutions under the Ministry of Railways to engage in the development of subways, Guangdong Province cannot control the progress on its own. It depends on the face of the Ministry of Railways.
"After all, there is no way around the Ministry of Railways, but Chunfeng Academy of Sciences can start technology research and development first. We have many Soviet experts in this area," Yao Yuan said.
Deputy Secretary Zhang smiled and said, "I knew you were well prepared."
How many foreign experts there are in the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences is still a mystery. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Lu Sen has been doing two things - robbing people and goods. He is still doing this now. Many come from Russia every year.
Scientists and technicians from Ukraine and other former Soviet Union countries joined the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences. The Dongfeng Group poured a lot of dollars into the Chunfeng Academy of Sciences every year, simply and crudely using money to build this extremely important scientific research entity.
The Soviet subway technology was very powerful.
"After the incident in Hong Kong is over, I will go to Europe to learn about the rail technology there." Yao Yuan said.
Deputy Secretary Zhang said, "The Ministry of Railways is organizing a technical inspection delegation to Germany and France. It is estimated that the trip will take place in October. You can go with us."
"No, I'll go there by myself. I still have to go to Sedan Oilfield to have a look." Yao Yuan declined politely.
Deputy Secretary Zhang nodded and said with a smile, "You have a private plane. You can go whenever you want."
He looked at Lin Wei and said, "Manager Lin, I heard that you are worried about funds recently. Do you want my help?"
"Thank you for the leadership's concern, I can overcome it." Lin Wei was flattered.
Deputy Secretary Zhang smiled and said, "I can't get the U.S. dollars, but I can help you contact a bank for a loan."
It can only be Huaxia coins.
He knew that Yao Yuan had two banks, but now Yao Yuan had to go all out to deal with the international hot money groups represented by Soros, and funds were definitely tight. The province could not help, so he could only help with corporate loans.
Lin Wei said, "We can still hold on for now. If there is a need for a loan, I will definitely trouble Shengli to contact us."
"Well, if you have any difficulties, just ask. Don't be polite." Deputy Secretary Zhang said, "Okay, Xiao Yao and Xiao Lin, I know you are pressed for time, so I won't keep you here."
Yao Yuan is indeed going to Hong Kong overnight.
Deputy Secretary Zhang stood up and said, "The headquarters is located here. You will have to travel frequently. I will ask someone to issue a special pass for you. You can use a special passage at the pass here to save some time."
"Thank you, Secretary Zhang."
After bidding farewell to Secretary Zhang, Yao Yuan was preparing to get in the car in the yard. Manager Chen strode over and said, "Mr. Yao, I will go to Hong Kong with your car."
"President Li, welcome." Yao Yuan knew that this Bank of China executive who was very familiar with Hong Kong's financial market had something to discuss with him, so he invited him to get in the car.
A line of five cars galloped toward the pass, with President Li's car following behind.
Bank of China's strength in Hong Kong is very strong, and Bank of China Tower belongs to them. Bank of China's business focus is overseas, and Hong Kong is a very important base.
However, the current Bank of China is not yet the world's major bank that will finance billions or tens of billions of dollars in overseas mergers and acquisitions of state-owned enterprises in the future, so it does not contribute much in this financial siege.
After chatting for a while in the car, President Li tentatively asked, "Mr. Yao, Shenzhen Development Bank's business in Russia is doing very well. I heard that it is cooperating with Shenzhen Stock Exchange?"
"The central bank also has a part," Yao Yuan said.
President Li smiled and said, "Our superiors have asked us to speed up our overseas business expansion. You are an expert. If Bank of China enters Russia, what are the prospects?"
"President Li, your question is too general." Yao Yuan smiled, "But I don't recommend entering the Russian banking industry."
President Li joked, "Yao is always afraid that we will steal Shenzhen Publishing's business."
Smiling, Yao Yuandao said, "That's not true. Bank of China can't take it away, and neither can other banks. I don't recommend domestic banks to enter the Russian market now, because the situation in Russia may change. In troubled times, we can avoid it.
Avoid it."
The president of Bank of China Hong Kong Branch has a very high level, the same level as the Executive Vice President of Bank of China, and he is a powerful person.
Yao Yuan paused and said, "Bank of China wants to expand its overseas business, and I have an idea."
"Oh? Mr. Yao, please enlighten me." Manager Li was very polite.
Yao Yuan said with a smile, "Société Générale has been privatized. A few days ago, a friend said that some shareholders intend to sell their shares."
"This is good news!" President Li was quite surprised and slightly excited, "Mr. Yao, tell me your plan."
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "I can facilitate the acquisition of Bank of China, provided that Bank of China transfers part of its shares to me. Of course, the price will not cause Bank of China to suffer a loss."
"Shares of a listed company?" President Li asked, frowning slightly.
Yao Yuan shook his head, "No, the original shares of Bank of China can be either too large or too small for me."
"Original shares..." President Li was in a dilemma.
