Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

Suburbs of Beijing. Sickle Project Headquarters!

After three months, Zhou Yang returned here again.

As soon as he got off the car, he was invited to the small conference room on the third floor by Wei Changjie, who had been waiting downstairs in the office building.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, Zhou Yang saw Mr. Chen and several members of the Scythe Project leadership team discussing something.

Seeing Zhou Yang push the door open and come in, Mr. Chen's slightly cloudy eyes became brighter, and then he waved and said: "Hurry up and take a seat, we are waiting for you!"

Zhou Yang said hurriedly: "Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long!"

"Haha, it's not a long wait. Anyway, we are basically here during this period. But if you don't come, we have no backbone!" Mr. Chen said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen is joking, you are the backbone of everyone here, the Dinghai Shenzhen!" Zhou Yang said immediately.

"Hahaha, you kid will put a high hat on my old man. I am old, just like the clay man in the temple, there is not much I can do!"

As he spoke, Mr. Chen suddenly coughed violently.

When the secretary next to him saw this, he immediately stepped forward and patted his back, and took out a white pill for him to drink with water.

After a while, the physical discomfort eased.

"Mr. Chen, how are you?" Zhou Yang asked with worry on his face.

He remembered that when he came to the capital three months ago, Mr. Chen's body was still very strong. He did not expect that he would change so much in just a few months.

Zhou Yang felt quite worried when he thought that Mr. Chen was now 85 years old.

However, Mr. Chen waved his hand and said: "My health is fine. This is an old problem. It will be fine soon. Let's deal with the business first!"

Although Zhou Yang was still a little worried, looking at the old man's attitude, he could only nod.

"Okay, let's talk about business first!"

Mr. Chen nodded, and then said to Wei Changjie: "Xiao Wei, tell Comrade Zhou Yang about the current situation!"

"Yes!"

Then Wei Changjie immediately said: "Chief, yesterday we received an urgent telegram from Comrade Yan Gengdong from Hong Kong Island, saying that Xiaori raised interest rates for the fourth time on May 5, and the current cash discount rate of its central bank has reached 26%, which has caused a huge shock in the stock market and property market. Hong Kong Island is asking for instructions whether to close the network!”

"How much impact will this interest rate hike have on the stock market?" Zhou Yang asked immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Chen immediately took up the conversation: "After the interest rate hike in Xiaoli, it did have some impact on the stock market and the property market. Especially the stock market, which had a slight decline before yesterday's interest rate hike. "After the market opened this morning, it fell again, but it rebounded again near noon."

"So, judging from what we know so far, the impact doesn't seem to be big!"

Zhou Yang then fell into deep thought. He remembered that there was supposed to be a fifth interest rate hike in his childhood, which eventually raised the bank interest rate to 6%, finally bursting the huge bubble that had lasted for five years.

In this way, the stock market can still hold up in the small days.

But Zhou Yang knows very well that once the stock market crashes, it will be similar to an avalanche. It is not impossible to escape while stuck, but the amount cannot be too large.

At present, the various stocks, indexes, etc. held by Yuanwei Group in the Xiaoli stock market add up to more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. They can only escape slowly in advance, but cannot unwind at a high level like hot money retail investors.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang immediately said: "Mr. Chen, I think it's time to close the net!"

"you sure?"

Mr. Chen looked at Zhou Yang and then said: "From yesterday to this morning, I communicated with many economics professors and financial experts from Jingcheng University and Shuimu University. Most of them believe that the stock market in Xiaoli will not be affected in the short term. It won’t collapse. If we close the network now, we may lose some profits!”

Zhou Yang immediately said: "Judging from the current situation, the analysis of experts and professors is not wrong, but the interest rate of 5.5% is already very high. Such a monetary policy will inevitably have many adverse effects on personal investment and corporate financing. Now It seems that the impact is not big, but the stock market is large enough in small days and has the ability to withstand risks. "

"But judging from the four consecutive interest rate hikes in Xiaoli, they are currently trying to control too much hot money flowing into the stock market and curb the rapid rise in land prices. They will inevitably continue to raise interest rates before achieving this goal. The stock market may not be like that by then. The ability to absorb risk.”

"Once the stock market cannot digest risks by itself, and the relevant government departments do not want or are unable to intervene, a stock market crisis will occur. With the size of our assets in Xiaoli, it will be too late to wait until the crisis comes, so we My opinion is to close the net as soon as possible and be sure to get out of the trap before the fifth interest rate hike in Xiaoli!”

Mr. Chen nodded, then looked at the others and said, "What are your opinions on this matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Wenzhong said immediately: "Mr. Chen, I very much agree with Comrade Zhou Yang's conclusion and support closing the network!"

Minister Xu also echoed: "I also support the immediate closure of the network. After all, the scale of our investment there is too large. Even if the stock market only drops slightly, our losses will be very heavy."

Minister Wang also spoke: "I also support Comrade Zhou Yang's judgment..."

"me too..."

...............

Hearing that everyone unanimously supported Zhou Yang's opinion, Mr. Chen nodded immediately.

He was not surprised by this result.

This is not just because Zhou Yang is a core member of the Scythe Project and has absolute authority and a strong say in the entire plan.

More importantly, Zhou Yang has never made a mistake.

In the past ten years or so, they have faced such major decisions countless times, but every time Zhou Yang made the right choice.

The miracle of never losing has also created his invincible image in the minds of everyone. As long as he does not make a major mistake for a day, everyone will always trust him and support him unconditionally.

Thinking of this, Mr. Chen coughed lightly, and then said: "Since everyone has no other opinions, then this matter is settled."

"Xiao Wei, immediately send a report to Comrade Yan Gengdong in Hong Kong Island, ordering them to close the network according to the original plan and sell off all funds, stocks, and indices in their hands!"

"Yes!"

After speaking, Wei Changjie took the recorded order and hurried out of the conference room.

After Wei Changjie left, Minister Xu suddenly said: "Comrade Zhou Yang, do you think the little devil can survive this crisis this time?"

Zhou Yang pondered for a moment and then said: "It depends on what standard you are talking about to survive. If it is to maintain the country's economy from basically collapsing, then it is not a big problem."

"But if we still want the economy to develop at a rapid pace and the society to be stable and prosperous as before, so that citizens can continue to make money while lying down, that is unlikely!"

"So my little life is in big trouble this time!" said Minister Wang from the Ministry of Health.

"More than just a big trouble, if the government can't handle it well, an economic recession is almost inevitable. I'm afraid it won't be able to recover in ten or eight years!" Zhou Yang said.

Of course, these words were what he said to the people in the conference room. In fact, Zhou Yang knew very well how much impact this economic crisis had on Xiaoli.

It can be said that the damage caused by this crisis to the small-life economy is no less than... no, it should be far more powerful than the two nuclear bombs before the end of World War II.

Before the bubble burst, banks lent money indiscriminately and had a bunch of houses as collateral.

After the bubble economy burst, housing prices plummeted, and banks were the first to be unable to hold on, so they had to frantically lay off employees and sell off assets in order to survive.

At this point, the financial crisis of the small days broke out in full force, and the economic miracle no longer existed.

During the bursting of the bubble, unemployment nearly tripled.

Many people who used leverage or borrowed money to speculate in stocks or real estate became tens of millions of "losers" almost overnight, and the suicide rate skyrocketed in their childhood.

Even normal home buyers who are honest and do not use leverage are unable to repay their loans because they have lost their jobs and income.

In this general environment, the three words "recession" have penetrated the childhood of the post-90s generation in Xiaoli, allowing them to develop the value of "getting real from China", and also made them choose "not to own". low desire” life.

Then this generation of young people became the so-called "Heisei losers."

Ever since, in my childhood, I could only watch the country of China rise all the way, and then lament that I had lost one decade after another...

But Zhou Yang felt that it was enough for him to know these things and there was no need to say them out.

The most important thing now is to take advantage of this opportunity to reap the rewards of the small life, and not to let the Thieving Eagle family benefit.

And just as Zhou Yang was deep in thought, Mr. Chen's voice sounded in his ears again...
