Tao Zhiming was enjoying his honeymoon, but Jun Kaifu, who had just stabilized his position in the official election in October, started to carry out the most important actions in full swing.

The first of the four moves Tao Zhiming mentioned was already communicating intentions.

Only Lin Qiyu, a quasi-doctorate in economics who was defending her final defense, is now just a "non-staff employee" of the embassy, ​​that is, a temporary worker. She can assist with some reception and liaison work here, but because of her special status, this day

He was actually invited to the ambassador's office.

"Ambassador Jiang, Counselor Wang." Lin Qiyu entered the door, and after greetings, he stood there a little confused.

Then Wang Yi personally poured her a cup of tea, which made Lin Qiyu a little scared.

"Xiao Lin, sit down." Yang Zhenhua smiled warmly and asked when he saw her sitting down, "Xiao Lin, will you graduate in March next year?"

"Yes."

"Okay!" Yang Zhenhua said with emotion in a rich voice, "I heard that you are determined to serve the country after studying. Xiao Wang and I both appreciate it. Xiao Lin, we have all seen your performance in the past half month.

I have also reported to the minister that you are a high-end talent who studied abroad. If you are willing to return to China, special arrangements will be made. According to the talent introduction policy, the minister hopes that I can keep you in the ministry. What is your opinion?"

Lin Qiyu remembered what Tao Zhiming had analyzed to him that day, and immediately replied: "As long as I can play my role, the country can arrange for me to be in any position."

Yang Zhenhua and Wang Yi looked at each other, nodded with a satisfied smile, and then said: "Okay, I will arrange this later. According to the current policy, your personnel relations will be in the ministry and you will enjoy deputy director level treatment.

.After returning to China and undergoing three to six months of training, he will be assigned to the Embassy in Neon, starting as a third-class secretary. After passing the examination, he will be promoted to a second-class secretary that matches his rank."

Lin Qiyu was a little uneasy: "Boss... I don't have much work experience yet. Would it be more appropriate for me to start from the lowest level as an attaché or clerk?"

"What the hell! How many doctoral students are there in the country each year now? Let alone those from the University of Tokyo!" Yang Zhenhua said earnestly, "Don't belittle yourself. Besides, in terms of work experience, you worked as a secretary next to Mr. Tao and participated in the internship during the internship.

We all believe you can shoulder the heavy responsibility in planning and supervising many large projects in Tokyo and Hong Kong!"

Hearing him mention Tao Zhiming, Lin Qiyu thought for a while and just nodded lightly: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the organization!"

She answered in a decent manner. Yang Zhenhua looked at Wang Yi, who then asked carefully: "Xiao Lin, when you went to the embassy to introduce yourself, you said that Mr. Tao suggested you come. Did he say anything else?

?”

"He said..." Lin Qiyu looked at the two leaders and felt that Tao Zhiming's intention might be to let him relay something, so he paused and said, "He said that Neon's current economic situation, even from a purely academic perspective,

It is also an excellent observation sample. He hopes that I can stay in Neon for a few more years to summarize the experiences and lessons that Neon will introduce in response to the current economic situation."

It sounded like Tao Zhiming wanted her to stay closer to him, but Yang Zhenhua and Wang Yi naturally didn't think much about it.

Yang Zhenhua thought about it for a while and then said: "To be honest, the minister also told our embassy in Neon that we should establish direct contact with Mr. Tao naturally and reasonably, but not create any obstacles to his overseas operations."

He took a deep look at Lin Qiyu again: "Since you have served as secretary by his side, he suggested that you come to the embassy. I'm afraid it has deep meaning. The minister reminded me that the matter about Mr. Tao is from Shuhai.

Specially decided.”

Lin Qiyu was shocked and looked at the two of them in disbelief.

Hasn't Tao Zhiming always mainly developed business outside the mainland? How could he directly attract the attention of the big shots in Shuhai?

Yang Zhenhua took out a piece of information from one side of the table and handed it over: "Now, we and Neon have restarted the matter of aid and loans. This is the plan they gave. According to your current status, you should not

Look. But special things need to be done, and Neon clearly mentioned that there is a lot of work that Mr. Tao needs to undertake in the next step. Therefore, please help me see what Mr. Tao must have said to you before, right?"

Lin Qiyu was a little confused: "Mr. Tao and I haven't contacted each other for almost a month... Besides, I haven't been reviewed by the organization yet..."

Wang Yi smiled gently: "Look, it's okay, this is just the first draft of the negotiation."

Lin Qiyu stood up nervously, took the plan, and looked at it seriously.

The plan was submitted by Neon, and naturally it was all in Neon language. The content was about Neon’s assistance and loan methods, amounts and specific requirements for Xia in the next three years.

The office became quiet, except for the sound of Lin Qiyu turning the pages of a book after a while.

Yang Zhenhua took a sip of tea. Wang Yi saw that his cup was empty, so he got up and went to get the kettle and added some water for him.

The two of them waited quietly for Lin Qiyu to finish reading and express their opinions.

China has shifted from one economic system to exploring another path. Talents like Lin Qiyu, who studied abroad in Neon and used finance and real estate as the entry point, and took macroeconomics as a doctoral research topic, are indeed very rare.

In the past half month, although Yang Zhenhua and Wang Yi had only silently paid attention to Lin Qiyu's performance, the file information about Lin Qiyu had already been reported to the country for investigation.

It's impeccable in every aspect. It's rare that in this bustling Tokyo, you still have a pure heart.

And Tao Zhiming... Although neither Yang Zhenhua nor Wang Yi knew why the leaders in Shuhai trusted him, it only meant that Tao Zhiming must have undertaken a very special mission.

What's more, Tanaka Ei and Kaifu Shun came to the reception together, and then left together with Tao Chiming. Later, Taro Hashimoto's secretary contacted Yang Zhenhua and bluntly said that Tao Chiming would act as a neon to break through the constraints of the United States and resume economic and trade relations with Xia Guo.

a special bridge.

Both Yang Zhenhua and Wang Yi were baffled that such a Xia native who was born and raised in Neon could reach such a level at such a young age.

Such a person cannot be arranged and supported by the chiefs, right?

And if he had never had any contact before, how could he gain such trust?

Seeing that she was sitting there frowning in thought after reading the plan, Yang Zhenhua said with a smile: "Boldly express your opinion. Even if Mr. Tao has not mentioned this matter, you can use what you have learned to see if there is anything in it."

What problems could there be?"

Lin Qiyu nodded slowly, and then asked: "Leader, I checked the information. In the past ten years, after the establishment of diplomatic relations, Neon has already provided two batches of aid and loans to Xia State, and the investment amount is not small. In the past,

Is the plan the same as this time?"

"Basically consistent." Yang Zhenhua nodded seriously. "In the past, more than 90% of aid was provided in the form of loans. The stipulation of the loans is that Xia Guo must introduce Neon equipment. Except for the free part, these loans are aid

It is of a nature, so the interest rate is very low, and the repayment period is relatively long, 40 years, and there is a 10-year grace period where no interest is required."

"Prices were also priced in meters in the past?" Lin Qiyu gritted his teeth.

"The rice dollar is an international currency. Is there any problem with it?"

Lin Qiyu thought about what he had learned from books, and what he had learned under the influence of Tao Zhiming in the past few years, and sighed: "The problem is big. The first batch of loans will be available in two years

It’s time to start paying it back, right?”

"That's right. The first batch of loans was from 1979 to 1983, totaling 330.9 billion yen. The second batch was from 1984, and now it has 470 billion yen."

"...let me settle the account."

Lin Qiyu stretched out his hand and took out a pen from his pocket. He actually had it with him, and then he also took out a small notebook.

While writing on it, she said: "When I borrowed it, I borrowed neon yen, but it was denominated in rice dollars. But the first batch of 330.9 billion yen borrowed, the exchange rate between neon yen and rice dollars at that time

, the highest is more than 270:1, and the average is about 230. But now, the price of neon yen to rice yuan is only

140. In other words, although the interest rate of this kind of government development assistance ODA loan is very low, only 1.5%. However, due to exchange rate changes, this batch of loans was less than 1.5 billion yuan when borrowed, but it takes about 35 to repay it.

It’s 100 million yuan... Here we also need to consider the exchange rate between us and the rice yuan.”

Lin Qiyu's toothache grew more and more as he calculated: "I remember that at that time, we exchanged less than 2 yuan for 1 meter, but now... it's nearly 6 yuan. So... we need about three times the original money to pay off.

This batch of loans..."

Yang Zhenhua and Wang Yi looked at each other, and finally Yang Zhenhua could only say silently: "The price in meters is the usual standard for government development assistance loans. These loans have indeed helped domestic infrastructure construction and technology introduction, and promoted development. We

After all, the foundation is too thin.”

Lin Qiyu was also silent. She didn't know if anyone was aware of the cost risks brought about by currency exchange rate changes when they signed these loan agreements, or if conditions were limited at the time and they simply couldn't make more demands.

But now...she thought for a while and said: "It's not just that. A large proportion of the loan projects require purchases from Neon. In this case, we may have spent some more costs, and Neon's companies have already

Earn a lot of money back. In addition, we are required to introduce neon equipment, but there are actually some problems..."

"Speak freely!"

"In the past ten years, Neon's manufacturing capacity has actually been excess, and so many products must be digested through foreign markets. What we have introduced is only equipment, not real technology. Instead, we have limited ourselves to Neon.

Neon's production standards. And Neon's manufacturing capacity is already increasing, and domestic labor costs are also increasing. It is necessary to transfer some backward production capacity to optimize the economic structure. In the past ten years, many Neon companies have

This is the reason for our investment in Xia State."

"We currently only have the advantages of sufficient manpower and low costs. We need to learn more advanced management models and introduce industries with higher added value. For them, it may be backward production capacity, but for us..." Yang Zhenhua said here

, feeling quite helpless inside.

Lin Qiyu nodded immediately: "Of course I understand these. But I think we need to understand that Neon is doing this and lending us loans to make money through finance and to give Neon companies some new opportunities for overseas orders and overseas expansion. That's not the case.

It’s purely to help us. Since each has his own purpose, we should be able to talk more... forcefully!"

"In other words, your suggestion is to take into account the risk of exchange rate changes. Other conditions can also be argued for."

"That's right. At least, it is best to borrow and repay the money directly in rice dollars, which has a relatively stable exchange rate, rather than borrowing neon yen to repay neon yen and denominated in rice dollars. The short period of neon yen

In more than four years, the value has doubled, and the repayment amount has far exceeded original expectations. The leaders must have realized it, and this can certainly be used as a reason."

Yang Zhenhua smiled and nodded, then looked at Wang Yi and said, "Xiao Lin went abroad to study, so he didn't waste any time."

"Indeed." Wang Yi also smiled, "Xiao Lin, do you have any other suggestions?"

"Yes." Lin Qiyu thought for a while and said boldly, "I won't talk about the past two batches of loans, but these subsequent loans cannot continue to use the form of our proposed project and Neon's approval. According to my current

Understand...this is not an aid loan, but an investment. Of course we can continue to build some basic projects that are conducive to trade between the two countries, but it cannot be all these. In addition..."

Since she had the first opportunity for an official of this level to ask her for advice, she simply opened up and said: "Although Neon is now very rich in funds, it should take immediate measures to squeeze out the water in the financial and real estate fields."

In two or three years, Neon may not have enough funds to obtain income from abroad. So this time, I think we can use a little more! Of course, the premise is that we cannot bear the exchange rate risk unilaterally, at least

Specify solutions when exchange rate risks exceed certain ranges!”

"Okay, I've written it down." From the moment Lin Qiyu started speaking in an orderly manner, Yang Zhenhua had actually recorded her opinions in his notebook.
