Now this period is not the Internet era of information explosion, and the level of computer data processing is relatively inferior. In addition, no matter how big the name of Forbes magazine is, it belongs to a commercial company that has to consider the cost. There is always a limit to the resources that can be mobilized, and then the limited journalists compile a widely recognized global billionaire wealth list, It is not difficult.
And Forbes magazine can search for a needle in a haystack to find more than 20 billionaires, and pile them on the global billionaire wealth list, accounting for six of the top 10, which is even more painstaking.
I don't know if it's true, because the global billionaire wealth list is newly established, and people are too busy, or for other reasons. Anyway, it's subtle. The Forbes Global billionaire wealth list does not integrate the data of Forbes American billionaire 400 wealth list. There are no Americans on such a large Forbes global billionaire wealth list. At a glance, it's almost one person, The impact is obvious.
At the stage of "abandoning the boat and landing" in his business career, sir Bao established a close cooperative relationship with a business book. Compared with the scope of Xiangjiang circle, his understanding of a business book can be regarded as a leader.
Therefore, sir Bao also sighed when Sir Gao turned aside the topic, "the American people are really powerful. They have dug up so many rich books at once. Some of them are quite familiar to me. It's really a feeling that they have become the first in the world."
"There are also members of Congress in the United States. Because of the Toshiba incident, they smashed a Toshiba radio with a hammer in front of the media. It is estimated that the American people's perception of a book is more subtle."
Wu Guangzheng, who gained a lot after Gao Xian's layout in a book, smiled and said, "the Americans have always been dissatisfied with the deficit in Japan US trade. I don't know how the one who was praised and killed will buy American things."
"To buy real estate in the United States, the rapid growth of the assets of those rich people on the Forbes Global billionaire wealth list is reflected in the real estate field and even in the asset structure of the larger chaebol, and the proportion of real estate is also increasing significantly." Gao Xian smiled playfully, "I remember that in 1985, when the Plaza Agreement was signed, the lowest exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar was 260 yen against the US dollar; this year's Louvre agreement After the signing, the effect was not obvious. The yen continued to appreciate. This month, it was more than 140 yen to one dollar. From the perspective of individual and immediate interests, this way of paying protection fees is simple, clear and seems cost-effective. "
Sir Bao mused: "I don't know how Xiangjiang's yen offshore financial center function will be affected next."
"Xiangjiang yen offshore financial center is a long-term issue, and there seems to be an urgent need at present." Gao Xian took a sip from his tea cup and moistened his throat, Weighing his words, he continued: "In my opinion, with the continuous innovation of Hang Seng Index, the potential risk of Xiangjiang stock market is increasing. Unlike the last stock disaster, the linkage between Xiangjiang stock market and global stock market is unprecedented close due to the further improvement and enhancement of the function of Xiangjiang international financial center; there are financial derivatives based on Xiangjiang stock market such as Hang Seng Index Futures, which make the huge shock of Xiangjiang stock market spread Wider domain. "
"Therefore, the top consortia of Xiangjiang should work together in preparing the response plan."
Sir Bao nodded. Naturally, he understood that the two sides sat together to communicate. It must not be limited to the situation of Dragonair under the pressure of China Pacific Airlines, the power struggle in Standard Chartered Bank, mainland dynamics and other private topics. They have similar interests in taking responsibility for Xiangjiang.
From Gao Xian's point of view, he is paving the way in advance. For example, once there is a big shock, large consortia will actively buy back their own shares, which will undoubtedly help stabilize the situation.
After the two sides had a meal together, they continued to talk for a while, and then the assistant handed the ringing mobile phone to Gao Xian.
Gao Xian's conversations on the phone are very common semantic content, but after returning his cell phone to his assistant, Gao Xian lowered his voice and said to Sir Bao with a faint smile: "I have to leave and go to America again. An old acquaintance is finally going to be the chairman of the Federal Reserve."
"Greenspan?" Sir Pao's brain turns quickly. On the surface, during his tenure as president of the Xiangjiang exchange fund authority in recent years, sir Gao has invited all kinds of world-class economic experts to talk about the classics. Greenspan seems to be the most dazzling star in the economic elite circle in the United States, so he thought of him at the first time.
Gao Xian nodded imperceptibly, greeted Wu Guangzheng and left with big steps.
"Dad, what did Sir Gao say to you just now?" Wu Guangzheng, who sent Sir Gao to the car, walked back to the door and asked his thoughtful father-in-law curiously.
"An important personnel change in the United States." Sir Bao didn't say it carefully. Of course, he knew the importance of the news. Even his son-in-law didn't need to tell the whole story at this time. Sir Gao told him that it was a consolidation of trust or a demonstration of confidence in dealing with possible changes.
……
Greenspan's succession as chairman of the Federal Reserve can be regarded as the greatest common divisor of the inevitable choice. For example, he can deal with the complex economic relations with ease; Taking New York as the base for many years and cultivating reputation deeply; He once served as chairman of President Ford's Economic Advisory Committee, no less qualified than the chairman of the Federal Reserve of New York before Paul Volcker took over as chairman of the Federal Reserve; The mentor burns, who is also the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, is more and more convincing; It's time for the Fed chairman to change his party, and so on
Of course, Paul Volcker is absolutely important. First of all, he doesn't want to continue after his second term expires.
In Gao Xian's view, Paul Volcker's re-election is not impossible. After all, the difficult stage of the severe economic recession in the United States in early 1980 has survived. For example, at the beginning, American farmers drove tractors to block the headquarters of the Federal Reserve to protest the public opinion pressure of Paul Volcker's iron fisted monetary tightening policy in order to curb inflation, Paul Volcker's position as chairman of the Federal Reserve has not been moved at all, not to mention the momentum of the American stock market.
But Paul Volcker really took the initiative to retreat and no longer seek re-election. He has only one request. His successor is an economist who insists on curbing inflation.
According to such conditions, Greenspan is the perfect candidate.
At the inauguration ceremony of the Federal Reserve Chairman, Greenspan said that he was very good at being a man. "I should thank the former chairman, because with him, there will be inflation that is not rising now, a bullish stock market, low interest rates and high employment. With all this, the next four years will be much better."
The implication is that during his tenure as chairman of the Federal Reserve, Greenspan will adhere to the inflation control policy of his predecessor Paul Volcker, and he attaches great importance to the performance of the stock market.
For Greenspan to become the new chairman of the Federal Reserve, the domestic reaction in the United States is very positive. For example, the Dow Jones index rose, reflecting the effect of Greenspan's reputation in recent years.
However, in the international foreign exchange market, it is another scene. The exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen and the currencies of Western European countries has fallen all the way, which shows that Greenspan has weakness in international reputation.
Gao Xian congratulated Greenspan on getting what he wanted and finally taking the chair of the Federal Reserve. He was very low-key because he had public relations experience as president of Xiangjiang exchange fund administration and knew the importance of avoiding suspicion; But Greenspan obviously did not realize the cautious requirements brought about by the change of identity. Unexpectedly, there was an invitation to accept a talk show interview on his schedule.
Gao Xian is still as modest as before. During the conversation, he asked a question, "Alan, after you became the chairman of the Federal Reserve, your perspective of thinking must be different. Then I want to discuss with you whether the central bank should help if there is an unprecedented stock disaster in the free market?"
"The central bank should not intervene casually..." Greenspan said, feeling insincere. After all, sir Gao is a close friend and can't be perfunctory!
