Gao Xian was very enthusiastic about his involvement in Xiangjiang's monetary policy. After finalizing the framework with financial secretary Xia Dingji, he was ready to go outside to invite the economists he had made friends with over the years to Xiangjiang for demonstration to create momentum.
Of course, before leaving, Gao Xian naturally called his subordinates, including Ye Licheng, general manager of Gaoyi bank and Chen Zuze, general manager of Yili bank, to explain some important matters needing attention in the next period of time.
"Although the interest rate hike in the banking industry involves a wide range, it is a foregone conclusion. I expect that the boots will fall in the second quarter of this year." Gao Xian looked around the people and analyzed: "the stock market will certainly be affected first. Even if the response of the real estate industry will be delayed, it can not be detached from the world."
"Therefore, all loans related to the stock market and real estate should be tightened, especially not superstitious about those so-called companies with gold lettered signboards." here, Gao Xian simply cited a specific example, "for example, Jianing, now everyone evaluates how good it is, including Huifeng bank, but we can't follow blindly, we should have our own evaluation system."
"I only saw the bright financial statements and stock price of Jianing, but I didn't find out where the real foundation of Jianing's business performance is. When the market is hot, Yijun can cover up all the ugliness, but after the economic winter comes, who is the gold and jade, and who is the scandal in it, can't hide it anymore."
Gao Xian whipped Jianing, which is still widely sought after at this stage, in order to set a reference standard for the actual operation of his subordinates, so as to avoid his instructions "retreat" and poor implementation.
"In addition, the manufacturing clusters in the industrial estate, including Huanyu electronics, will also be affected by the interest rate increase of the banking industry. You should do a good job in supporting financial services," Sir Gao told me in detail, "However, the risks in this should also be controlled. For example, for bills such as acceptance bills, those whose cashing time is later than the end of this year should be handled carefully. Even if the acceptor is a bank, we should also consider the robustness of the bank's recent operation, let alone be confused by the profitable discount interest rate."
Ye Licheng, who has followed Sir Gao for more than ten years, gradually tasted the deep meaning of these words, so he tentatively said: "boss, are you worried about the stock market crash, real estate depression and even banking crisis in the next few years?"
Gao Xian did not give a positive answer, but said with emotion: "looking at the decades after the end of the Second World War, Xiangjiang's economy has obvious periodicity. Now we are not a small boat to turn around, so we can only face the wind and waves without rain."
Seeing that Sir Gao said so earnestly and sincerely, ye Licheng, Chen Zuze and others quickly expressed their position. Please rest assured that we will do our work in place.
Gao Xian gave instructions to the Secretariat directly under him on what matters to report to him first, and then came to New York, the United States.
Obviously, Gao Xian is looking for economists to help him in the United States. He must give priority to Alan Greenspan. After all, in addition to his academic attainments, his resume as chairman of the American Economic Advisory Committee, which was President Ford, can deceive people.
However, Alan Greenspan was not in the New York office at this time, but went to Peanut Stew temporarily to deal with his part-time job in the Reagan team.
Alan Greenspan still has a strong heart for his career. With the failure of President Ford's re-election, he has been looking forward to returning to Peanut Stew after he ended his post as chairman of the U.S. Economic Advisory Committee.
Therefore, after Reagan invited Alan Greenspan to join his presidential campaign to provide professional economic policy advice, Alan Greenspan agreed without hesitation, just as when he joined Nixon's presidential campaign.
However, Alan Greenspan's traditional conservatism in economic policy is not entirely acceptable to Li Gen, who pursues a new free economy. One evidence is that after Li Gen won the US presidential election, he did not appoint Alan Greenspan as the chairman of the US economic advisory committee or the US finance minister, but just left him in the team to continue as a leader Consultant.
In this case, Alan Greenspan usually stays in New York and is busy with the work of the office. When the White House has any economic problems to consult, he will go to Peanut Stew.
Gao Xian flipped through the calendar and looked at the date. He couldn't help but feel a move in his heart. When he went to Washington at this time, he might see a good play. He was thinking that Patricia Hurst's cousin, George hurst, came to visit.
Looking at George Hearst, he raised his eyebrows and guessed the other party's intention. It should be to continue to seek financial support for the development of TV stations.
Sure enough, George Hurst turned to this aspect after the greeting.
Gao Xian is used to this because he knows the situation of Hearst family and Hearst group.
First of all, the Hearst family has a large number of members. Patricia Hearst's father's generation has five brothers. Each has a rich and colorful life, gets married, divorces and remarries, and has many children. Even if you want to support, the family resources cannot be shared equally.
In addition to Hearst group, William Hearst, the original newspaper king, was a man of the moment. Even the American elite were afraid of his manipulation of the media. In order to bypass the law and continue to maintain the control of the Hearst family over the Hearst group, William Hearst adopted the method of establishing a trust fund.
The trust has thirteen members, five of whom are members of the Hearst family, and eight from outside the Hearst family.
Further, after William Hearst's death, although the Hearst family can basically control the Hearst group in terms of equity, and members of the Hearst family can also enter the Hearst group for a job, they can't rule the Hearst group like William Hearst.
Take Randolph Hearst, Patricia Hearst's father. Although he is the chairman of the board of directors of Hearst group, he has no chance to be the CEO and President of Hearst group.
Over the years, those ambitious Hearst family members have been trying to expand their actual control in Hearst group, but this is inseparable from real achievements.
At this stage, the TV industry led by cable TV in the United States is developing rapidly. George Hearst wants to accumulate capital, but he also has common interest needs with Gaoxian. However, if he wants Hearst group to provide a lot of real gold and silver support, it is unrealistic. Second, it can't show that he has real skills and has to rely on gnawing old people.
"Kmbc-tv station in Kansas City intends to sell, and the value should be about 80 million US dollars, but the capital gap here is not small, and now the bank's loan interest rate is so high..." George Hurst introduced with a flattering look.
Gao Xian looked at his watch. "George, I'm in a hurry to find Alan Greenspan in Peanut Stew. Why don't you go with me and continue on the way?"
"OK, OK." George Hearst agreed with his words.
Gao Xian called Miss hurst, who was in London to help him deal with matters related to Prince Charles's wedding, "Patricia, have you always booked a long rental room at the peanut stewed Hilton Hotel? Your cousin George and I may have to stay in peanut stewed for two days."
Gao Xian put down the phone and snapped his fingers. "George, hurry up, we'll go now."
George Hurst asked curiously, "what's so urgent?"
Gao Xian smiled thoughtfully, "I want to invite Alan Greenspan as an adviser to demonstrate a monetary policy in Xiangjiang."
George Hurst suddenly followed Sir Gao's footsteps.
……
When Gao Xian and his party arrived at the Peanut Stew, it was already the evening of March 29. They went straight from the airport to the Hilton Hotel.
After arriving at the place, Gao Xian found that there were indeed many people here, especially the security was strengthened. He smiled to himself, got the key and went straight to the guest room.
After a while, George Hearst came in and said, "I said why the atmosphere here is a little different. It turns out that President Reagan will have lunch and give a speech at the hotel with representatives of the labor federation industrial trade union federation tomorrow."
Gao Xian also came and suddenly realized, "if you don't say, I didn't notice these details."
George Hearst was not suspicious, and his mind was mainly focused on the acquisition of kmbc-tv in Kansas City.
On the way to Peanut Stew, George t has introduced the relevant situation more comprehensively, but Sir Gao has not made a clear statement, which makes him a little confused. Is Sir Gao still thinking about Xiangjiang monetary policy, or does Sir Gao want other exchange terms?
George Hurst is eager for money, but it's not easy to get caught up in the trace, so as not to be inferior. After dinner, he called his cousin Patricia Hurst to get in touch.
The Hearst family has reached the generation of George Hearst and Patricia Hearst. There are so many members that not everyone can get the real attention of the family, especially girls.
William Hearst made a rule for the Hearst family trust that the trust will remain in operation as long as his grandchildren who were born when he was alive are still alive.
Take Patricia Hurst as an example. George Hurst may not really pay attention to one of the many sisters if there is no high string, that is, a rich woman who lives better than ordinary people.
After talking to Patricia Hearst on the phone, George Hearst sighed to himself. As usual, this cousin is in charge of Sir Gao's wealth in the United States. She only listens to Sir Gao's words and doesn't even bother to blow the pillow breeze.
……
The next morning, Alan Greenspan came to meet Gao Xian and "received a temporary notice from the White House to discuss the issue of social security."
Gao Xian nodded slightly. He understood the overall situation of social security in the United States at this stage. After all, how to manage pensions also belongs to the business scope.
In short, at the beginning of President Reagan's coming to power, due to the government's fiscal deficit, the payment crisis of social security in the United States began to emerge. If we do not seize the time to come up with a solution, the whole social security system in the United States is at risk of collapse.
"The white house doesn't want you to be responsible for solving this problem. I'm going to ask you to help Xiangjiang demonstrate a monetary policy reform." Gao Xian said the purpose of looking for Alan Greenspan.
"It's not decided yet." Alan Greenspan, who didn't get Ligen's reuse, couldn't hide his loss. "If I really can't get away, I can recommend others to you."
Gao Xian smiled. "I'd better hurry up and start asking you for advice now."
……
George Hearst was bored, but he didn't want to leave Sir Gao. Fortunately, President Reagan's reception with representatives of the American Federation of labor and industrial trade unions began, and everyone's attention was attracted by the excitement.
At about 2:00 p.m., after the reception, Reagan left the Hilton Hotel through the "presidential channel", walked to the special bus waiting in the northwest corner, smiled and waved to the crowd.
Suddenly, the gunshot rang out, and the scene was in a mess. Reagan was pushed into the special car by the secret service and didn't know whether to live or die
After looking at the stunned George Hearst, Gao Xian gently reminded: "what are you waiting for such a big news?"
