Chapter 408 Director Lang

"Emerging economies in Southeast Asia?" Director Lang was obviously a little surprised by Zhou Shuo's topic. In his impression, Zhou Shuo should be focusing on technology. Why did he suddenly talk about the emerging economies in Southeast Asia and what other financial and economic crises are there?

It is said that China is still very concerned about Southeast Asia, especially emerging economies such as Thailand since the 1990s. As a model of countries that have made great progress in international division of labor, many people in China are advocating this outward-oriented economic model.

As the deputy director of the X Office, Director Lang usually has a wide range of things. It is unreasonable to say that he has not paid attention to this aspect. However, it is a bit strange to talk about this kind of national trend with a private company boss who started out with technology.

However, Director Lang still has this kind of cultivation. He thought about it and asked tentatively: "Chen Zhou always talks about Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore?"

"Director Lang is really knowledgeable!" Zhou Shuo flattered gently and nodded, saying, "Yes, these four countries can be said to be the pillars of the current Southeast Asian economy. I would like to ask, what impact will their economy suddenly collapse, on the Asian market and even the whole world?"

"Economic collapse." Director Lang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "How could the entire Southeast Asian economy suddenly collapse? It seems impossible?"

"For example, an economic crisis or a financial crisis, the exchange rate of Thai baht, ringgit and Indonesian rupiah collapsed, which led to the collapse of the entire Southeast Asian economy..."

Zhou Shuo just clicked lightly, and Director Lang's eyes became different. He thought seriously and looked at Zhou Shuo in confusion and asked.

"How come Mr. Zhou has this kind of thought? Is there any news?"

Director Lang is familiar with Zhou Shuo's information, and he has made a lot of profits with stocks accurately several times. He will inevitably pay attention to his words.

At this time, Tang Ya came over with a pile of thick documents. Zhou Shuo hurriedly went up to help her carry the documents and put them on the table first.

Tang Ya seemed to be interested in these documents, and looked at Zhou Shuo unpacking the files and took out a document from it.

"This is a survey conducted by Fanhan Group on the Southeast Asian economy. Director Lang would like to ask you to read it if he has time."

Zhou Shuo knew that if he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to send this information to someone like Director Lang. There are no 1,000 professors and institutions studying Southeast Asian economy in China, and there are eight hundred.

But the current mainstream still attracts investment to Southeast Asia, advocates the rise model of Southeast Asia and is optimistic about the Southeast Asian economy. Articles like this that criticize Southeast Asia and even the East Asian economy cannot be said to be mainstream in the academic community.

"The central bank began to cut interest rates last month this year." Zhou Shuo handed the document to Director Lang and gently pointed out the question: "I think Director Lang should know better than me what this means, which means that the inflation crisis that began in 1993 is over. At this time, let go of investment and economic vitality. If a financial crisis that affects the entire East Asia will occur next year, I am afraid that it will catch us off guard."

After three years of monetary tightening, on May 1, 1996, the People's Bank of China cut interest rates for the first time in three years. This has indeed kicked off the prelude to China's great economic development in history.

The central bank's interest rate cut means that the country has begun to encourage investment and expand domestic demand. Of course, it means that the production capacity of domestic products is overgrown, but there is signs of insufficient domestic demand. This rate cut means that China's overall economic strategy has changed. The once extremely precious bank loans have begun to re-enter the vision of private enterprises.

Of course, at this time, most people did not expect that this time the bank's doors will be opened to private enterprises. It has never been closed again in 20 years. Private enterprises will become the main growth point and new force of China's economy in the next ten years. This decade will be the golden decade for Chinese private enterprises.

However, the prerequisite for achieving such results is that China must not become the object of Americans' wanton shearing of wool like those Southeast Asian countries in 1997.

Zhou Shuo’s two words can be said to have completely reversed Director Lang’s previous evaluation of him. It can be confirmed from the central bank’s interest rate cut that the domestic inflation crisis has passed. This is something that many people think but dare not express. The domestic situation is chaotic, and no one dares to make a conclusion so quickly if they make a living.

After all, the experts of this era still have some of the dignity of experts, and have not fallen into a brick house.

Director Lang opened the document handed over by Zhou Shuo and looked at it. Even if it was a ridiculous article, it would be considered as a matter from another perspective. Of course, people in his position would not be so easily influenced by others. Even if it was a very wrong information, it seemed that no matter how stupid the public opinion was, he could still look at the motivation behind them.

Similarly, it is inevitable that the information summarized by people with the identity of Zhou Shuo is biased. But from this, it can be seen that private high-tech industry entrepreneurs are more or less about the current economic trend.

With this feeling, Director Lang looked briefly at the directory of this document. Such a detailed investigation data costs at least three or five hundred pages, and the directory alone can have seven or eight pages. Of course, in a short time, only one can take a brief look at the directory.

However, after just looking at it casually, Director Lang couldn't pull out his eyes.

From the perspective of foreign exchange reserves, few people pay attention to this perspective. In this era, China has not yet particularly realized the importance of foreign exchange reserves to the national economy. Chinese senior management still had to watch Southeast Asian countries cut wool in 1997, which caused foreign exchange hunger.

It was not that no one realized this problem before, but no one raised foreign exchange reserves to such a high level from this perspective.

Zeng Keda looked at it for half an hour. It was not until a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside Zhou Shuo's office. The young man who had been sitting in the passenger seat before walked in and said softly: "Director, the leader's convoy is coming soon. Do you think we should set off?"

Director Lang then pulled out his eyes from the document, looked up at the table, nodded and said, "Okay, let our people get in the car, go and welcome the leader's convoy first."

"Yes!" The young man stood attentively, glanced at Zhou Shuo with curiosity, turned around and walked out of the office.

"Mr. Zhou's information..." Director Lang pondered for a moment, carefully put it in the file bag, and said cautiously: "I'll take it to read it first. If Mr. Zhou has any help in the future, you can call me."

Director Lang said, picked up a pen on Zhou Shuo's desk and wrote down a phone number.

Zhou Shuo raised his eyebrows in surprise. He originally thought that even if Director Lang wanted to contact him, he would at least have read this information. He would even be willing to establish a relationship with him after the Southeast Asian financial crisis broke out in 1997. Unexpectedly, his sense of smell was so sensitive. After reading a little content, he discovered the great value of this.

And waiting for Director Lang to contact him is very different from leaving a phone number to contact him.

But after all, there is not much time left, and Zhou Shuo didn't have time to think about the problem here. He opened the office door for Director Lang and said with a smile: "Director Lang, I'll give it to you."

Director Lang did not be very polite, but nodded and agreed: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhou. Let's talk about the economic issues of Southeast Asia. Have you heard of the news from the United States or have you noticed the problem in this?"

The two walked out of Zhou Shuo's office. Outside, the four office staff from Office X led by Director Lang had already arranged a team and followed them in two rows.

Zhou Shuo helped them press the elevator, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "It should be all. Most of my relationships in the United States are from venture capital and IT industries, and the financial industry is also related to Huamei Bank. If you want to know more about the US financial industry, this is not a question. However, in response to the phenomenon of too little foreign exchange reserves in Southeast Asian countries, I have indeed come into contact with several experts who study this issue."

At this time, the elevator arrived. Zhou Shuo asked Director Lang and his entourage to enter the elevator, and then continued: "Later, I asked Gao Mo, the manager of our group's investment fund, to contact Hong Kong to conduct this investigation, and then I was convinced that Southeast Asian countries are likely to be on the eve of a financial crisis..."

Zhou Shuo and Director Lang briefly exchanged their views on this issue and left the gate of the headquarters building of Fanhan Group. Outside, Director Lang's pioneering convoy was ready to go.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, don't send me off again. We will contact you if we have the chance in the future!" Director Lang took Zhou Shuo's hand and shook it hard. Accompanied by Tu Anbei and Mayougong, he got into the car and rode away.

Zhou Shuo watched Director Lang's convoy walk away, but unexpectedly another car drove in the opposite lane and stopped in the square in front of the headquarters building of Fanhan Group.

"Mr. Li?" Zhou Shuo was slightly stunned when he saw the person getting out of the car, and couldn't help but smile and walked two steps to meet him.

"What kind of wind blows you? We haven't seen you for more than a month!"
