Li Zehai really has a good capacity for drinking, and he drinks wine just like drinking water. Fortunately, Duan Zetao is not weak either. The two of them drank two or two glasses first. If it was not enough, they would switch to beer glasses. If it was not enough, they would just use a bowl. Li Zehai saw that Duan Zetao was getting more and more.
The more I like him, I almost swore sworn vows with him on the spot.【】
Zhu Feiyang looked at him dumbfounded. He pulled Duan Zetao's clothes and said, "Brother Tao, if you drink like this, you will definitely have to lie down. You have to attend the seminar organized by the Central Committee tomorrow!".
Li Zehai hurriedly asked what was going on. Zhu Feiyang told him about the article. Li Zehai slapped his thigh and said: "So it turns out that you wrote the Economic Daily article. My old man said this article when he was reading the newspaper a few days ago.
Well done, you are very far-sighted. Business is important and the days are long. Let’s drink here today. The quality of wine is like the character of one’s character. Zetao, you are my brother!”
Zhu Feiyang clapped his hands and said: "Brother Tao, you are incredible. Mr. Li is a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau. If your article can be praised by him, the future will be bright. Now Mr. Li wants to recognize you as his brother. Who will do it in the future?"
If I dare to touch you, you will give me the name of Boss Li, and I will definitely scare the shit out of him."
Li Zehai curled his lips and said: "Third brother, why do you have to treat me so vulgarly in everything? But, Zetao, if someone really dares to bully you, I won't even look at you, brother! By the way, you two are
How did they get it all together?!”.
When Zhu Feiyang told Li Zehai about the cooperation between the two, Li Zehai slapped his thigh again and said: "Third brother, you have finally done something reliable. What can your China Fund achieve by relying on insider information to defraud the common people?
, If we want to play, we can play big. Making money from foreigners is what we are capable of. I didn’t mention it. I’ll take part in this matter. If there’s not much, I can still make more than a billion.”
The meal lasted until dark and they parted happily. Before leaving, Li Zehai brought four special Chinese cigarettes from the office and handed them to Duan Zetao, "I don't have anything good for you. Let's take a few cigarettes back to smoke."
Duan Zetao quickly declined and said: "Brother Zehai, you are too polite. You came in a hurry. I didn't bring anything for you. I don't have the nerve to ask for your cigarettes again!" Zhu Feiyang looked at him with eyes wide open.
Guang, stretched out his hand to grab it, "This is not a good thing! The quota for military-level cadres is only two per month. If Zetao doesn't want it, just give it to me!".
Li Zehai smacked his hand back with all his strength and scolded him with a smile: "You are a dog. You rob everything. If you want to ask your old man, why don't you go!".
Zhu Feiyang retracted his hand and muttered: "It's not like you don't know that my old man is a long-time smoker. He doesn't even have enough to smoke, so how can he give it to me?!".
Originally, Zhu Feiyang wanted to take Duan Zetao to see the nightclubs in Beijing, but Duan Zetao was considering holding a seminar tomorrow. It would not be good to meet experts and leaders with panda eyes then. Zhu Feiyang also knew the importance, so he just
Without forcing it, he sent Duan Zetao to the hotel and went to work on raising funds.
Early the next morning, Zhu Feiyang sent a car to take Duan Zetao to the Gao Gan Club. If it weren't for the armed police standing guard outside and the huge national emblem hanging above the gate of the courtyard, it would be difficult for Duan Zetao to distinguish between the ordinary courtyard house in front of him and the famous Gao Gan Club.
After connecting with the Gan Club, Duan Zetao couldn't help but stand in awe when he looked at the small red courtyard in front of him and thought that many of the country's major decisions originated from here.
Duan Zetao walked aside and dialed the contact number left by the person who called that day. After a while, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came out, held Duan Zetao's hand with a smile and said: "You are Comrade Duan Zetao, I am
Wang Xianguo from the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, that’s what I called you. I didn’t expect that a person who could write such a sophisticated article is actually a young man. He is really formidable!”
Wang Xianguo showed his work badge to the armed policeman on guard, and asked Duan Zetao to take out his ID card to register, and then he led Duan Zetao into the club.
On the way, Wang Xianguo explained some matters for attention to Duan Zetao, and also gave special instructions: "In addition to the experts from the National Development Research Center, there are also leaders of some ministries and commissions, and the deputy prime minister may also come to listen. Please pay attention to your wording when you speak.
, of course, don’t be too nervous, just express your thoughts normally.”
Duan Zetao heard that the Vice Prime Minister might attend in person, and his hands were shaking with nervousness. However, he was also a man who had seen the world in his previous life, and his face could barely remain calm. Wang Xianguo glanced at him and nodded slightly. This young man is indeed not simple.
, it’s just that he is outstanding in talent and learning, what is rare is this calmness that remains calm despite the collapse of the mountain.
Wang Xianguo brought Duan Zetao to the conference room, pointed to a seat in the corner and said: "You can sit there, the seminar won't start for another hour. You first organize the outline of the speech you will give later. It's best not to wander around if you have nothing to do. I
I still have some things to take care of, and I’ll come back later.” After that, he walked out of the conference room.
Duan Zetao's mood slowly calmed down, he took out his notebook and began to organize his speech outline. His thoughts became clearer and clearer. Unknowingly, the time for the meeting was approaching. At this time, people started to come in. Duan Zetao, who was still busy writing, was stunned.
He thought he was the clerk taking minutes of the meeting today and ignored it.
Duan Zetao came back from his thoughts and realized that the conference room was already full of people. Many of them were famous economists who were often seen in magazines, and many were from countries that were often seen on TV.
Sir, except for Duan Zetao, the youngest participant in the whole conference room is over forty years old. He is so young and conspicuous sitting in there.
Wang Xianguo picked up the microphone and said: "Everyone has read the information. An article published in the Economic Daily earlier analyzed the possible crisis of the Southeast Asian economic model. The main topic of our seminar today is the analysis of this article.
We will discuss the issues mentioned in the article, and everyone is welcome to speak freely.”
As soon as Wang Xianguo finished speaking, a middle-aged man with neatly combed hair and gold-rimmed glasses took the microphone and fired first, "I read that article and I think it is purely alarmist. Facts speak louder than words. Asia's four
The rapid economic development of Xiaolong in recent years is obvious to all, and it is worth learning from us. It can be said that this economic model is the only way to integrate with international standards...".
After the middle-aged man published a long speech, he pointed the finger at the author of the article, Duan Zetao, "Let's talk about the author of this article. I have never heard of this person in the economic academic circle, and he has never been in any academic field before.
An article about the economic field has been published in the magazine, so what is his purpose in publishing this article? It is nothing more than sensationalism! It is a waste of time for us to discuss such a person's article here, and it is meaningless!".
Duan Zetao recognized that this middle-aged man was none other than the recently famous economist Shen Yaohui. He was a Ph.D. student in the United States. After returning to China, he frequently appeared on magazine covers. He wanted to be in the limelight. His mantra was "in line with international standards." Duan Zetao After reading his articles, I found that he didn’t have much real knowledge. He just used some outdated American economic theories to make a living.
At this time, a very elegant old man with white hair spoke. He was the famous economist Hu Qinglian. He had a high reputation in the field of economics and was known as the "Hu Economy". "Dr. Shen's speech was very exciting. , but there are some things that are biased. Any economic model has its pros and cons. I think the analysis of the Southeast Asian economic model in this Economic Daily article is very reasonable..."
The experts in the conference room were divided into two groups. Some supported Shen Yaohui and some supported Hu Qinglian. No one could convince anyone. Arguments broke out and the conference room became lively.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Wang Xianguo picked up the microphone and said: "Everyone's speeches just now are very reasonable. Today we have invited Duan Zetao, the author of this article, to the venue. Now we will ask Comrade Duan Zetao to share his views!" .
Duan Zetao was sitting in the corner. There was no microphone in front of him. Wang Xianguo walked over and handed him his wireless microphone. For a moment, all the eyes in the venue were focused on him. Everyone was surprised by his youth, and the venue roared. piece.
"Dear leaders and teachers, the main purpose of my coming here today is to learn from you. I am deeply inspired by what you just said. Now I will share my opinions. If I am wrong, please criticize me. Correction..."
Duan Zetao was a little nervous and stuck. At this time, Hu Qinglian, who was sitting in the front row of him, turned around, handed him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Young man, don't be nervous, drink some water to moisten your throat and then talk slowly!".
Duan Zetao's mood suddenly calmed down. He nodded gratefully towards Hu Qinglian, picked up the microphone and continued speaking: "Yes, Southeast Asian countries and regions have been one of the fastest growing regions in the world in recent years. But this lack of long-term The planned and guided rapid economic growth model also brings hidden dangers and exposes increasingly serious problems."
"First, the advantages of export-oriented labor-intensive industrial development are declining as labor costs increase and market competition intensifies. However, the economic growth mode and economic structure of Southeast Asian countries and regions have not made timely and effective adjustments, resulting in competition The decline in economic power and the slow growth of foreign exports have caused the current account deficit to remain high. In 1996, Thailand's current account deficit in the balance of payments was US$23 billion, and South Korea's was as high as US$23.7 billion."
"Second, bank loans are too loose, real estate investment is too large, the vacancy rate of commercial housing is rising, bank bad debts, bad debts and other non-performing assets are expanding day by day. (Examples and related data (omitted))...the above economic factors have affected the foreign exchange market in various aspects and the stock market.”
"Third, economic growth is overly dependent on foreign capital, and a large amount of foreign capital has been introduced, which has led to an increase in foreign debt. Thailand's foreign debt was US$0.0 billion in 1992, and reached US$86 billion before currency devaluation in 1997, and South Korea's foreign debt exceeded US$15 billion...".
"Four, the exchange rate system is rigid..."
"Fifth, premature opening of the financial market and participation in international financial integration when opening conditions and adaptability are not sufficient... I dare to assert that if international hot money takes the opportunity to cause trouble, an international war will break out in Southeast Asian countries and regions.
If the global financial crisis is not dealt with early, it will also have a huge impact on our country!".
When Duan Zetao started speaking, people were still a little contemptuous, but as Duan Zetao's speech deepened, everyone was attracted by his wonderful speech, so that no one noticed an extraordinary old man quietly walked in from the back door of the conference room.
