The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 283 Conspiracy

"Comrade Song Ling, this time the organization appointed you and several other comrades to take on the important task of defending Hong Kong's economy. It is an extremely honorable and important event for you. You always bear in mind the heavy responsibilities on your shoulders, and don’t let down the expectations of the organization and the people.” A man in his fifties with a square face was sitting on a sofa chair, standing in front of him with a serious face Song Ling said.

This is a routine conversation that must be conducted before the appointment. The cliché did not make Song Ling feel disgusted for a while. On the contrary, he was very excited at this moment, even ecstatic, because it meant that he would soon be able to use hundreds of millions of funds. , In the stock market, he has become a decisive figure in the Hong Kong market for the entire Chinese-funded enterprises. This trip to Yanjing really did not go in vain, and the results he got even exceeded his imagination.

  The same scene also happened to several other people. Most of them are the financial directors of Chinese-funded Hong Kong listed companies affiliated to the central government. The camp can be said to be very luxurious. The market value of the companies behind them alone may account for half of the total market value of the entire Chinese-funded enterprises listed in Hong Kong, and put it into the entire market, it will account for about 20% of the market value of the entire Hong Kong-listed companies.

In addition to these front-line personnel with actual combat experience, a deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance is always in charge of Yanjing, and the rank is the Ministry. The relevant persons in charge of various departments such as the Chinese Society, the Hualian Office, and even the main warehouse, in short, under the instruction of the Zhuge Pavilion, this will be a multi-department joint operation to deal with the financial crisis.

Originally, a working group of this size and level would not have the chance for a small character like Song Ling to speak out. People are trying their best to squeeze into it just to gain political achievements, so the information transmission and analysis and judgment in the face of major emergencies must rely on this group of professionals headed by Song Ling who are stationed in Hong Kong.

It's not that Zhugeguan didn't think about this problem. For this reason, he specially appointed a top person in charge of the Hong Kong side, that is, the vice president of the Hong Kong branch of Aihua News Agency, and instructed him to have the right to arbitrarily decide on personnel at the right time. Get rid of the Hong Kong department who lied about the military situation or delayed the fighter plane.

In addition, in terms of professionalism, the Zhuge Pavilion has arranged some scholars who are familiar with the economy of Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia to form an advisory committee with people like Zhong Shi, who will report to Hong Kong from time to time and predict the future trend of Hong Kong's economy .

  In short, in Zhuge Guan's vision, this will be a test for him before he is about to take over the Administration Council.

  …

"Brother Song, this time the Organization Department appointed us as the 'front-line combatants' to defend Hong Kong's financial market, but why do I feel that we are all cannon fodder? Think about it, how many departments are holding us back, not to mention directly The group of people from the Aihua News Agency, the boss, even we have to refer to the opinions of the group of people from the advisory committee for what we want to do, what the **** is this!" In a remote clubhouse in the capital, Several senior officials from Hong Kong were sitting in a small room and sighing.

  After experiencing a short period of excitement, they were surprised to find that this working group has a large number of people and the process is complicated. It may take a week from finding problems to making decisions. However, the situation in the financial market is often changing rapidly, and there is no possibility of asking for instructions and waiting. According to what they said, by the time the corresponding rescue plan was formulated, the rescue target would have died long ago.

  Most of these people are middle-aged people in their thirties and forties. They look elegant in suits and leather shoes, and they are typical elites with successful careers. In the eyes of the outside world, they are senior officials of Chinese-funded enterprises, and they can determine the rise or fall of stocks with a single sentence. But they themselves know very well that under these glamorous appearances, they are actually nothing, if they do not have the power in their hands.

  Different from private enterprises, the appointment of senior officials of Chinese-funded enterprises listed in Hong Kong, especially state-owned enterprises, is not from the board of directors, but from the organizational department of the mainland government. Because the major shareholder is the state, even the combination of small shareholders and scattered shareholders cannot prevent the approval of the appointment decision. And once these so-called airborne executives sit in this position, it is often followed by a purge of the entire middle and high-level officials. This is the so-called "one king, one courtier".

Although these people have also benefited a lot from the cleaning activities, they know very well in their hearts that maybe one day the top leaders who descended from the sky will not like them, and they will be sidelined in the next cleaning activities, and they will lose their hands. The power is nothing.

   It is also based on this consideration that these talents work hard and strive to climb to a higher level, so as to control their own destiny.

   And this time the so-called multi-department joint emergency plan to deal with the financial crisis is undoubtedly the best opportunity for them to perform in front of the highest level.

Everyone wants to play their role well, but when they are really involved and thoroughly study the relevant organizational structure, departmental planning and decision-making processes, they find that things are not as simple as they thought, and their situation is even worse than that of marginalized people. become more dangerous.

   To put it simply, there are too many laymen in this temporary group, and the constraints are too complicated. Although they were pushed to the fore, their roles were cannon fodder, and they belonged to the kind of tragic characters whose credit is due to their superiors and whose fault is their own.

  In this case, whining naturally becomes the theme of this group, especially when it is impossible to refuse and resist.

   "Brother Song, you should say something!" After complaining for a long time, these people finally found out that Song Ling had been drinking without a word for a long time.

  Song Ling is not the oldest in this group, on the contrary, he is the youngest one. But this group of people all called him Brother Song, because they could all see that Song Ling was the one with the most promising future among them. Not to mention anything else, just the leader who appreciates him, it is said that he has entered the highest level of insight, and will be transferred to the central government in the next two years to take charge of a department directly under the Government Affairs Council.

   Moreover, in this small circle, it is recognized that Song Ling's city is the deepest and the most scheming. When he was drunk once, he uttered rhetoric that made the organization department give up the head of the airborne and promoted within a Chinese-funded Hong Kong company. These things other people dare not even think about. Coupled with the fact that Song Ling helped them solve some troubles several times in a row, these people gradually regarded Song Ling as the leader of this circle.

"What are you talking about?" Song Ling shook the wine glass in his hand and said casually, "Now we are small characters, dispensable. No, this metaphor is not accurate. Personally, I prefer this description, that is, we It's all meat on the chopping board, even with a sword and ax, you can only accept it."

Having said that, he put the wine glass heavily on the table with a "snap", and his tone became more and more fierce: "Although the starting point of checks and balances is good, everyone, don't forget, what are we facing? People, what is the situation? Not to mention anything else, just say that a big man like Soros has a total capital scale of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars under his banner, and it is beyond our ability to use a little part of it. In this case, We have to send those bureaucrats who don’t understand anything to contain us, I really don’t know what the decision-makers think!”

   "Shh, keep your voice down!" Everyone quickly stopped, "Be careful that the walls have ears. Although what you said is true, the person who made the decision also understands finance. It is definitely not aimless. I believe there will be future tricks."

"The last trick?" Song Ling curled her lips in disdain, "It's nothing more than working with those people from the Hong Kong government. They are responsible for fighting back in the exchange rate market, while we are responsible for maintaining the rise and fall of the stock market. Because they cannot directly intervene in the stock market, see Come on, the master above is a sensible person."

   "After talking for so long, what should we do?" A middle-aged man in his forties finally lost his patience and asked a little irritably.

"Yes! Yes!" After his reminder, everyone finally came to their senses. Now is not the time to discuss what the higher-ups think, but when they return to Hong Kong, related work will be carried out. No matter what , they all have to enter a dilemma.

"What should we do?" Song Ling rolled his eyes, drank the wine in the glass in front of him in one gulp, and then said slowly in the expectant eyes of everyone, "Don't you think that our most urgent problem now is not the above, but the Those nasty expert groups?"

  Everyone was stunned, feeling puzzled. How could it involve a committee with no real power? After a long time, one person came to his senses and said, "Brother Song, I have a clue when you say that. The opinions of the professionals on the advisory committee are indeed the biggest threat to us." After finishing speaking, he winked at Song Ling Eye.

"Everyone, don't ask for the time being. You will know why when you are in the actual trading." Song Ling nodded slightly, and then stopped everyone's rhetorical questions. Before they could react, he continued, "Actually, the above The method is very simple, that is, do nothing, or just deal with it a little bit, so that the higher-ups will transform us from small roles into people who can really do things, and the corresponding constraints will be reduced a lot.”

   "Do nothing? Is this possible?" This time, the reaction of everyone was no longer dejected, but dumbfounded by shock, and no one said a word for a long time.
