Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

This idea just flashed through Li Yi's mind, and before he could react, he heard Mr. Chen speak.

"Comrade Shiying, you have been working in Guangdong Province for a long time and should be familiar with the situation in Pengcheng. What do you think about this matter?"

Jiang Shiying slowly put down the document in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I think it is imperative to issue special zone coins, and the sooner the better!"

Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

He secretly thought that his father-in-law, who usually seems to be a very smart person, suddenly became stupid now. This kind of thing can be expressed casually.

Besides, you, a disciplinary inspection cadre, know the economics of a hammer.

It is still imperative, the sooner the better, isn’t this a blind man giving directions to a deaf man, playing blindly!

Mr. Chen immediately said: "Why do you say that? Tell me your reasons?"

Jiang Shiying said immediately: "The main reason is that I know the situation in Pengcheng better. In fact, Comrade Jiang Longyin told me about this some time ago. According to what he said, the situation is far worse than what was mentioned in the document. Be serious!”

"Currently, shopping malls or restaurants in Pengcheng are only willing to accept Hong Kong dollars. Although the government has publicly stipulated that except for duty-free shops, other merchants cannot accept Hong Kong dollars, but this does not become a reason for merchants to refuse to accept Hong Kong dollars."

"So much so that in Pengcheng, whether ordinary people or our cadres, they always carry Hong Kong dollars and RMB with them when they go out. Compared with RMB, Hong Kong dollar is more popular, and RMB is being expelled by Hong Kong dollar in Pengcheng."

"Expulsion?"

Hearing this, Li Yi frowned immediately. His father-in-law's words seemed a bit serious.

Jiang Shiying glanced at Li Yi and said again: "Yes, it is expulsion. If possible, the merchants over there will even refuse to accept RMB."

"What's even more frightening is that this trend has spread to Yangcheng and other places. If we don't find a way to suppress this situation, the situation may get worse and worse. The issuance of SAR coins is the only way to solve this problem at present."

Hearing this, Mr. Chen frowned immediately, and then asked: "Is the matter really that serious?"

"It might be more serious than we thought!"

Then Jiang Shiying said again: "Long Yin told me about his personal experience some time ago. After he signed the contract with Mr. Liao Yingxiang of Xingyao Investment Company a few years ago, in order to thank Mr. Liao for his support to Pengcheng, he made a special visit to Pengcheng. Treat each other to a restaurant.”

"After finishing the meal, when Long Yin was about to pay the bill, the cashier said, "Our store does not accept RMB, only Hong Kong dollars." This ridiculous thing of paying with Hong Kong dollars in our territory is common in Pengcheng."

"With the development of the economy, the circulation of goods, and out of consideration for our country's overall financial security, the issuance of special zone currency is urgent!"

Mr. Chen nodded and then said: "Comrade Shiying, even you think it is imperative to issue special zone coins. It seems that this matter cannot be delayed. It just so happens that the superiors are planning to send a research team to Pengcheng to investigate. , then you can accompany the comrades of the investigation team to Pengcheng!"

"Yes!"

When he heard his father-in-law's naive response, Li Yi knew that this was going to be bad.

Is it possible for the research team to accompany you casually? They are there to conduct research, and they must issue a research report after the research is completed.

After the report comes out, it needs to be signed by all personnel, and their report will have an extremely important impact on the above policies.

If it's done well, it's a great achievement, but if it's not done well, you'll be jointly and severally liable.

Issuing special zone coins is definitely not the best way to deal with the crisis. It would not be a good thing if my father-in-law really gets involved.

At the same time, Li Yi also saw that Mr. Chen was playing a conspiracy on himself.

He deliberately asked his father-in-law for his opinion and asked him to accompany the research team to Pengcheng, just to test his own reaction.

If this thing works, I will naturally not object. If it doesn't, I must stop it, unless I don't care about my father-in-law's political future.

Li Yi knew that he had to take action.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Mr. Chen, dad, I think the issue of special zone coins should be carefully considered. Don't be blind, let alone act too hastily!"

A faint smile appeared on Mr. Chen's lips, and then he asked: "Oh, tell me your reasons!"

Li Yi said immediately: "I have three reasons. First, it is not appropriate for a country to have two currencies. This will not only affect Pengcheng's image in the minds of the people, but also affect the country's reputation. After all, many people have said that Pengcheng It is a modern version of the public concession. If a separate currency is issued, wouldn’t this confirm the rumor? “Secondly, this is not a problem faced by Pengcheng alone, but by all special economic zones in the entire coastal area. Under common circumstances, even if the issuance of special zone coins solves the problem of Pengcheng, it cannot solve the problems of all special zones. We cannot issue one special zone currency for each special zone! "

"Furthermore, when issuing SAR currency, we must consider financial risks. When implementing a linked exchange rate, we have to consider the impact of the other party's depreciation and appreciation on the domestic currency. And we currently have experience in dealing with such problems. Once problems arise, it will not be easy to deal with. , so let’s consider this matter carefully.”

Having spent two lives in the business world, Li Yi naturally knows a lot about monetary policy and exchange rates.

What kind of monetary policy a country implements will be directly related to future development and even life and death.

Think about the little days next door. The reason why they were harvested by America's father a few years later and took away their national destiny for decades was because they made three major mistakes when formulating monetary policy.

These three mistakes directly led to a head-on blow to the economy that had been making rapid progress in the early days. In the end, not only did the wealth created by generations of people's hard work be taken away like leeks, but it also affected the country's fortunes for decades.

So we can hear the "lost twenty years" and "lost thirty years" that young people often say, and we can also see their "Heisei abandoned houses" everywhere.

After Chen Lao and Jiang Shiying heard Li Yi's reasons, they immediately looked at each other and saw surprise and relief in each other's eyes, as well as a little secret joy that the conspiracy had succeeded.

"In your opinion, what should we do about this?" Old Chen said.

Li Yi thought for a moment and then said: "In fact, the best way to deal with this is to vigorously develop the economy. After all, the fundamental reason why the Hong Kong dollar is so strong is because the economy on the other side is developing better than ours."

"It violates the law to drive out good money with bad money. Now it is good money that drives out bad money. If we choose to use monetary policy to curb it, it will be a violation of economic law, and violating the law will inevitably pay a heavier price."

"What do you mean, we won't do anything?" Mr. Chen said in a deep voice.

Li Yi shook his head and said: "It's not to do nothing, but to stop wasting time on this. Instead of wasting time and energy on this kind of thing, it is better to quickly improve the local economy of Pengcheng."

In the previous life, no SAR currency was ultimately issued. The reason was that with the rapid development of the SAR economy, the Hong Kong dollar retreated and the RMB gradually regained its dominance in the Pengcheng currency market, making a defensive war no longer necessary.

Therefore, in order to forge iron, we still need to be strong on our own. If we cannot build our own economy, no matter how perfect the monetary policy is, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

Li Yi's words directly caused the two people in the room to fall into deep thought.

After a long time, Mr. Chen spoke again: "In your opinion, how long will it take if we wait for the RMB to regain its original status?"

"Five years!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a hint of disbelief: "Does it really only take five years?"

"Five years at most. If everything goes well, three years will be enough!" Li Yi said.

In the previous life, the time when Pengcheng expelled the Hong Kong dollar should have been around 88, but with his help in this life, Pengcheng's economic development speed must be far faster than that in the previous life.

I guess with the rapid economic development, this problem can be solved earlier!

"Well, I will seriously consider what you said, and then comprehensively consider whether to issue special zone coins."

Then, Mr. Chen changed his voice and said again: "But before that, it's time for you to fulfill your responsibilities!"

This time it was Li Yi's turn to be confused and asked hurriedly: "What responsibilities?"

"After all, you are also the deputy director of the Development Committee, and now you don't even know where to open the door of your unit. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?" Old Chen said.

As soon as these words came out, Li Yi felt an ominous premonition again.

He immediately said: "Mr. Chen, that's not what you said at that time. You said that I, the deputy director, was just a name."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Chen said with a smile: "You have to go to the unit to show up regularly, otherwise it doesn't count as a name. There will be a meeting with the Development Committee in three days. Go and have a look!"

Li Yi knew that he had really fallen into a trap this time. It might just be as simple as taking a look there. I am afraid that they were already eyeing him and sharpening their knives.

It’s over, Barbie Q
