Rebirth of the Rising Sun

He took the Chang family's affairs to heart, and took certain concessions in the development of the bank. For some former clients of the National Bank, although they had good projects and high credibility, Feng Sizhe still insisted on not dealing with them and withheld some of their loan applications.

Feng Sizhe's behavior made some people feel puzzled. Fortunately, several major managers in the Preparatory Bureau were either Feng Sizhe's old classmates or his old subordinates. Anyway, they were all introduced by him, so no one would say anything.

Feng Sizhe's actions quickly gained the goodwill of the Chang family. The Chang family conveyed through channels that they were very satisfied with his recent performance and that if there was a chance, they could cooperate well.

Feng Sizhe did not respond to the Chang family's words. He did this not because he was afraid of the Chang family, but because he did not want to cause trouble. Shenzhou Tangsheng Bank was doing well now, and he did not want to ruin the overall situation because of some small things. Besides, the bank had a lot of business now, and it didn't matter even if it lost some customers. After all, these days, there were more people who needed money than those who saved money.

Feng Sizhe finally adopted the idea of ​​not being corrupted by the crowd and not being in the same league with the crowd. To put it bluntly, he was just being himself. When he gave in, the Chang family did not trouble him, so that the National Bank and Shenzhou Tangsheng could move forward at the same time like two equal lines that did not intersect, which was a happy ending for everyone.

Time quickly came to 1997. After New Year's Day, the Spring Festival was approaching. During this entire year, Feng Sizhe himself had never left Kyoto. His daily routine was to go back and forth between his workplace and the courtyard. Occasionally, he would go to the Great Wall Club to meet with those young masters and discuss future business development issues.

It can be said that this year was very fulfilling. Feng Sizhe made progress in his career. He successfully introduced 20 billion RMB (2.5 billion USD) to formally establish and use Shenzhou Tangsheng Bank, which secured his position as the director of the Preparatory Bureau and also made some people who had just begun to doubt his ability shut up. In life, his baby Xiao Yueqing is also growing up slowly. Although she can't walk or talk yet, her eyes are very bright. She keeps talking all day long, is curious about everything, and wants to say something about everything, as if she is expressing something. Whenever he looks at her, Feng Sizhe is filled with emotion. He thinks that this should be considered a masterpiece of God, because if he hadn't been reborn, how could this little life be born?

Looking back at the past year, Feng Sizhe was satisfied. Although it was a little ordinary, isn't life like this? How many people can be vigorous forever? If so, wouldn't it be too tiring? In history, 1996 was relatively peaceful, unlike the following 1997, which was so extraordinary. There were so many things to happen in this year that Feng Sizhe had to record so many things in his notebook that he couldn't help but be careful.

After New Year's Day and before the Chinese New Year, Feng Sizhe submitted a report on strictly controlling the country's finances. The report stated that it was necessary to prudently and rigorously implement relevant national financial regulations and orders, increase macro-control of domestic inflation, etc. In short, it was to slow down the pace of economic progress, temporarily suspend progress appropriately, and make the next round of new impacts after the economic foundation was laid.

Of course, Feng Sizhe did not use such fierce words in this report. After all, he is also a reformer. He knows that the local governments are now pursuing GDP growth without considering the local situation. They are only pursuing economic growth, which has promoted the formation of many non-performing assets, such as the real estate industry. In order to see more benefits faster, many cities have been selling land blindly to maintain high economic growth, which is obviously incorrect from a long-term perspective.

After submitting this report, Feng Sizhe was very uneasy. He had always been a follower of Comrade Bao Jingguo. Although many of his views were not consistent with his, in the eyes of outsiders, he was right. And this time he did submit such a report that embarrassed the leader. He really didn't know how the leader would talk to him after reading it.

In this uneasy mood, he waited until the Chinese New Year was about to come, but the leader never talked to him. This made Feng Sizhe feel very puzzled. Until the afternoon before the Spring Festival holiday, Secretary-General Ding Deren called him to the office.

In the office, Ding Deren threw the report back in front of him. "You wrote this report, didn't you? I went back and read it carefully. I really don't know why you wrote such a thing. Don't you know that what you wrote will make you passive? You are in the financial industry, and you are the director of the Foreign Bank Establishment Bureau. Have you ever thought that this report is actually erasing your own achievements? Come and tell me, what are you thinking?"

Ding Deren was very angry, but Feng Sizhe didn't care about what he said. Instead, he asked carefully, "Uncle Ding, I don't know what the commander said."

"What?" Ding Deren glanced at Feng Sizhe, and was sure that this was the answer he wanted, so he shook his head and said, "What can he say? This report has been with me all this time, and I haven't submitted it. You should know that I am doing this for your own good. I don't want to see you banished to the cold palace because of this."

Well, Ding Deren has watched too many TV dramas, and he even came up with the term "cold palace". Although he did it for his own good this time, Feng Sizhe did not appreciate it. "Oh, my Uncle Ding, why don't you show this to the chief? Maybe he will have other opinions. Besides, the chief has been controlling the economy in the past few years, so he should be mentally prepared for this."

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. The chief is also very confused. His old leader has not been in good health recently, and he often goes there. Plus, it's the New Year again. I guess he doesn't have time to read your report carefully. I think you should take it back first and take a look after you go back to see if there is anything to change. Then we can talk about it later when we have a chance." Ding Deren shook his head. He really couldn't understand what the young man in front of him was thinking. Didn't he know that everything he got now was hard-won? If it weren't for the great economic development, how could he have such a good opportunity to be promoted to deputy director after only being in the position of director for more than a year. He always thought that the young man in front of him was calm, but now he seems to be a little proud? He actually thought of coming up with such an article and such a point of view at this time. Isn't this asking for trouble?

Feng Sizhe was really helpless after hearing what Ding Deren said. Seeing the other party's serious look, and most importantly, the look that he was doing it for his own good, he had no choice but to reach out and pick up the report. Secretary-General Ding was right in saying that it was really hard for the leader to focus on work now, because Comrade Deren's health was not very good, and if everything went as usual, he would pass away in a few days. This was an unchangeable fact, that's all. The only thing he could change was himself, and for more things he could only be a bystander, this was his fate.

The fact is just as Secretary-General Ding Deren said, Comrade Deren's health condition is indeed very bad. His health has touched the nerves of countless people for a while, and has attracted countless people's attention. This one of the founding fathers of the Republic, this chief architect of reform and opening up, this people's comrade who guided the Republic to become a socialist country with distinctive characteristics, his body is no longer just his own, but belongs to the people and the country.

There were many things to do in 1997, one of which was to take back Hong Kong, which was a matter of great world attention, and the success of this matter was the result of the efforts of countless comrades such as Deguo En. Now his health is not good, and many people are anxious. Everyone hopes that he can see his son return to his mother's arms with their own eyes.

Because of the concern about this matter, today's Spring Festival in Kyoto is a relatively peaceful Spring Festival. Zhao Mingyuan goes to Jingshan Back Street every day. As one of his former guards, Minister Zhao has a deep affection for him. Therefore, Feng Sizhe also skipped the practice of visiting various families during the Spring Festival. In fact, not only him, many young people skipped this step, because everyone was afraid that an unintentional action at this time would cause various troubles and unknowns.

What is coming will eventually come. After the Spring Festival, when the fifteenth day of the lunar year was approaching, Comrade De Guoen finally left us and the motherland that gave birth to him and raised him.

The death of Comrade Deguo En caused a huge uproar in Kyoto. The phones of many people kept ringing. However, as Feng Sizhe had expected, there were no unexpected incidents. Everything was going according to plan, step by step, according to the previously made rules. That's right, the rules had been in place for a long time. As long as everyone followed the rules, there would be no chaos.
