The pebble beach golf club organized by Gao Xian will be held in the middle and late September. The choice of this time is very mysterious.
Just in the past July and August, the treasury departments of the United States, yiben, West Germany, France and Britain came together and held two waves of intensive meetings.
This dynamic can't escape the tracking of many media. Anyway, the intelligence is publicly there. As for how to interpret it, they all rely on their own skills. In Gao Xian's view, this is an important signal in the work process.
For example, the two heads of State met and signed tens of billions of trade contracts. The contents were certainly not finalized on the spot, but the result of repeated negotiations between the following people. The signature of the head of state was only the final confirmation of authority.
This is the so-called work process, and the two rounds of secret meetings of the ministries of finance of the five countries tracked by many media are an important signal for those who are interested.
After Gao Xian arrived in the United States, the activities of Pebble Beach Golf Club have been prepared by Patricia.
"James Baker has a tight schedule and should not have time to attend, but his deputy Richard Damman is sure to take half a day." Miss Hurst introduced the person who Gao Xian pays most attention to first.
Gao Xian smiled meaningfully. "It doesn't matter whether James Baker can attend. I just need to make sure when and where he is busy."
James Baker, the US finance minister who took office at the beginning of this year, and a Tibetan minister over there, under the bamboo lamp, are equivalent in terms of rank.
The relationship between Sir Gao and James Baker can be described as very familiar, because they are close friends of the Bush family, and then linked through the Bush family.
James Baker is very capable. He served in the government during President Nixon's term of office and President Ford's term of office. Especially at the beginning of President Reagan's term of office, he was appointed chief of staff of the White House.
You know, James Baker is a close friend of Vice President Bush Sr., and the chief of staff of the White House, the highest level official who leads the operation of the White House Office, is so sensitive and important, but being elected by such a person, itself shows a lot of problems.
Since James Baker is the chief of staff of the White House, how can he now become the US Treasury secretary? This involves the Zhengzhi internal fight of Peanut Stew.
Howard Phillips, one of the current leaders of the Conservatives, and a group of forces, including Kramer Wright, who first suggested and supported Reagan's election to the U.S. president, have been trying to persuade Reagan to remove James Baker's chief of staff of the White House. The reason is simple and direct. This guy used to be a Democrat, but later jumped to the drinking party, He is also a confidant of Vice President Bush Sr. and occupies such an important position as the chief of staff of the White House. Don't worry!
Reagan did not accept this proposal, but he compromised and made a job transfer that can be called God operation. Donald Regan, then US Treasury Secretary, was transferred to be the chief of staff of the White House, while James Baker was US Treasury Secretary, so the situation we see now appeared.
The reason why I spend some time on the origin of James Baker is just to explain that James Baker can stand in such a "crack" of positive governance. It must be an acceptable result after the balance between the forces behind him. Then, as a person, he can do what the forces of all factions have reached a tacit understanding.
James Baker can't come. It's enough for Sir Gao to know where he will hold a meeting in the next few days through private chat!
Gao Xian met William Miller, chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of Gaoyi America for the first time. At this time, the value of William Miller being chairman of the Federal Reserve first and then Treasury Secretary of the United States is reflected. Regardless of how unbearable William Miller's performance in these two positions is described by the media, it does not hinder his vision and judgment as an executive of the company.
William Miller is one of the few people who know that Sir Gao is gambling that the US government will manipulate the exchange rate and plans to take this opportunity to make a lot of money.
"Many people on Wall Street believe that due to the trade deficit and fiscal deficit, the government has no choice but to make major decisions on the international exchange rate with the G7 member states." William Miller introduced the information he collected. "In the past two months, media reporters have kept a close eye on the people of the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Reserve, while the Ministry of Finance and the Federal Reserve are hiding and putting smoke bombs."
Gao Xian asked modestly, "is there any mystery in this situation?"
William Miller said: "If the Zhengfu really makes a major exchange rate decision, it is unrealistic to exert its influence through the Zhengfu's funds, because the international foreign exchange market is so huge that tens of billions of dollars are thrown in, which is just a small splash. Therefore, it still depends on the strength of the market itself to achieve the goal, but the Zhengfu does not want the precise time of policy introduction to be controlled by the outside world 。”
Gao Xian nodded. There is no shortage of smart people in the world. There are not a few elites who have made a clear analysis of the general situation, but how to find and hook the accurate "anchor point" in the rolling torrent really further tests the mind. I believe this is one of the principles for wall street to distinguish between high and low.
Of course, Gao Xian won't believe that there is a real core of wall street like JPMorgan, and he didn't know it in advance.
William Miller was one of his own. Naturally, he came first, and then little Bush, an "idle man", arrived at the pebble beach Stadium Hotel.
By the way, Christopher Reeves, chairman of the board of directors and CEO of Morgan Jianfu, came all the way, but he was an earlier group of distinguished guests.
In fact, the chairman of Morgan Jianfu's board of directors turned out to be Bill mcworth, a short, fat and amiable British old man. He often went to the United States to organize and participate in various club activities, so as to accumulate resources and find opportunities for Morgan Jianfu's business.
Unfortunately, bill mcworth had a heart attack last year and was not rescued, so Christopher Reeves picked the chairman of Morgan Jianfu's board of directors.
In this way, everyone gathered together to eat, drink and have fun, laughing, giving the outside world a feeling of no business.
On that day, after playing football, sir Gao returned to the hotel and took a bath. After looking at the time, he turned on the TV. It was directly a channel of Howard Hughes satellite TV company, which was broadcasting a news, that is, a reporter found a book under the bamboo lamp of the minister of Tibet, who was going to take an international flight to the United States.
Zhuxiadeng easily denied that he was going to attend any important international conference. Instead, he took a small private vacation and played at the invitation of his friends.
Watching the sleek appearance of a good man under the bamboo lamp on TV, Gao Xian couldn't help but tilt up the corners of his mouth and show a smile.
After a while, Patricia came in unhappily and complained that zhuxiadeng stood us up. She also confirmed the itinerary yesterday, but just now, a staff member of zhuxiadeng called from Tokyo and said that zhuxiadeng had something important to go to New York and couldn't come.
Miss Hurst said discontentedly, "there is no face-to-face explanation under the bamboo lamp. What's the meaning? It's too impolite!"
Gao Xian looked up to the sky and laughed, "if the light under the bamboo doesn't come to us, that's right!"
