Although humans on the earth are constantly having wars, most of them are local wars. Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Somalia are all just local wars. In fact, many of them can only be said to be terrorist organizations, which are different from real wars.
The standard is still some way off.
In fact, most countries have strategic reserves, especially steel reserves. Even if they really want to launch a war, it is impossible to suddenly purchase steel and rare metals on such a large scale globally.
war……
Obviously, wars between countries should be impossible. No matter how big or small any war is on earth, it is inseparable from the backs of the United States, Russia, and China. Some hotspots are actually proxy wars for these countries. Obviously
, this acquisition of metal seems to have no national background.
If it's not a war, then why?
Zhang Yang found that he was in over his head.
It seems that it is impossible to deduce what happened from the transactions of these metals, and the possibility of speculators and war has been ruled out.
"Zhang Yang, actually, you don't have to worry, it's very easy to know the reason." The president thought for a while and said.
"Um?"
"It's very simple, we just need to trace the source of the metal we buy."
"I also thought about it, but both the iron ore and the finished steel products seem to come from some of the world's largest steel smelters. It looks like all the world's largest smelters are involved in this procurement plan..."
Zhang Yang frowned and looked at some data on the computer. It was obvious that steel smelters around the world were involved in this steel purchase. It was precisely because of this that the prices soared. Among these manufacturers, all of China's
Steel smelting institutions are all involved.
"Impossible! There must be some clues." The president nodded affirmatively and said: "Now is the global financial crisis. Every country knows that the surge in metal prices is not good for economic recovery. This will involve real estate.
Automobiles, shipbuilding, grassroots construction... Its influence will definitely not be limited to the metal industry. I believe that if the current price is maintained, it is very likely that the overall price of metal will more than double in half a month..."
"Well, I'll trouble you to ask the president about this. I have a vague feeling that something is wrong." Zhang Yang closed the computer and took a deep breath. The increase in the price of steel and metal made Zhang Yang's heart feel like it was stuck.
Swim bladder.
"Well, there will be news soon, because it is also related to the bank's loan investment and some mortgage risk assessments. It is very likely that some policies will need to be adjusted..."
…
The three of them talked about some life issues, and finally analyzed the current market environment and investment direction for the Mao family.
Zhang Yang and the president have always believed that the Mao family should not focus on real estate now, but should focus on the traditional paper industry and supplement it with real estate.
Now, the papermaking industry has ushered in its most glorious period. The price of raw materials has dropped significantly, and labor costs have also been reduced by one-fifth due to the financial crisis. However, due to the country's environmental protection requirements, most of the small papermaking mills have been closed.
The price of paper products also tends to rise. At least, it has not reached people's psychological defense line, and there is still a lot of room for growth.
Finally, the three people came to a conclusion. Although the current government's environmental protection requirements have been reduced to varying degrees due to the financial turmoil, the environmental protection issues of the paper industry are the general trend. If a giant leader in the paper industry like Mao's can
As an environmental pioneer in the domestic paper industry, there is no doubt that national policies will provide corresponding support.
Short-sightedness will only bring hidden dangers to the enterprise.
Regarding Mao's current entry into the real estate market, Zhang Yang suggested that we should steadily seize the market because of the vacuum created by the financial crisis. In particular, we can increase our efforts in acquiring land from some bankrupt real estate companies. We must not inject funds into unfinished buildings to avoid falling into triangular debt.
Distracting energy...
The houses are mainly composed of large and small board houses with varying structures. The large and small units can be changed at will, which is suitable for temporary adjustments to market demand business strategies.
The buildings should not be spread too large. It is best to start construction after each building is completed. The land for houses has been hoarded, and there will only be room for growth. Moreover, the price of steel is soaring now, and explosive development is not suitable for the current capital scale of Mao's Enterprise.
…
That night, the three of them didn't leave until three in the morning, after eating a bowl of noodles cooked by Mao Renguo himself.
This evening allowed Zhang Yang to truly integrate into the core of the Mao family and participate in the family's expansion planning.
Governor Chen has also become the think tank of the Mao family.
In fact, it was on this night that the Mao family, Zhang Yang, and President Chen formed an iron triangle. This iron triangle had a profound influence on the prototype of Mao's corporate planning. The Mao family has developed in this iron triangle for at least fifty years.
Completed under early planning...
And Mao's Enterprise has also ushered in glory, from specializing in paper manufacturing to real estate, and then to shipbuilding, energy, and mining, expanding step by step. From beginning to end, Mao's Enterprise's funds have been in a good cycle.
Here, it must be mentioned that because Governor Chen was too close to Mao's Enterprises, some political opponents were dissatisfied and launched an audit against Governor Chen. When the results of the audit came out, what surprised the central government was that Governor Chen
Except for providing a policy loan to Mao's Enterprises in the early days of the financial crisis, Governor Chen did not have any financial dealings with Mao's Enterprises in the following years, and that loan had already been repaid.
To the surprise of the whole society, President Chen's family can be described as poor. However, he lives an extremely fulfilling spiritual life. It is a terrible family with simple materials. The home has all the electrical appliances that any ordinary family has, and there are other things.
Many families do not have pen, ink, paper and inkstones, and their savings are very clear and can be completely linked to their wages.
During this review, Mr. Chen became the most popular good official in XX and became a celebrity on the Internet. His popularity was unparalleled for a while. Mr. Chen’s calligraphy works have been included in the National Museum many times, and later generations rated him as "
"His words are like the person he is", and his words are treasured by the world. He pioneered the situation where an official can be worth a fortune even if he is not in office, which is rare in Chinese official circles.
This review established Governor Chen’s official career.
When Governor Chen sat in the chair of the Governor of the People's Bank of China, he often thought of Zhang Yang's words about being an official.
In President Chen's office, there is a calligraphy work "The Way of Choice" hanging. For many years, this calligraphy work has been with him, because this is the calligraphy work that President Chen asked Zhang Yang for, and it is also the only calligraphy work that President Chen has ever done.
There is a calligraphy work signed by Zhang Yang. When many subordinates saw this calligraphy and asked about the name, President Chen smiled and said nothing...
Give up first and take later!
How many officials understand the trade-off?
In fact, the most successful thing about Governor Chen is not that he has reached the top position in China's financial institutions, but his sons and grandchildren. Most members of this family have embarked on official careers, and they have implemented Governor Chen's way of being an official throughout their lives.
: Give up first and take later!
Decades later, the political family power formed by the Chen family plays a decisive role in Chinese politics and has won the support of the people.
While many corrupt officials are sitting on the bench for just a few million dollars, the Chen family has already accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars and is not envied by others, because the money comes from nothing. As an official, the Chen family
With the family at this point, future generations no longer need to run around for money. Being an official has become a profession, a kind of family honor, rather than a means of making money...
"Brother, where do you live?"
Manager Chen drove a bus and did not let Mao Renguo see him off, so Zhang Yang took the bus by the way.
"xx Hotel, thank you bro."
"Haha, thank you for nothing. I have to thank you for your advice. But to be honest, it's a big loss if I don't become an official." President Chen sighed, seemingly unwilling to give up.
"Brother is wrong. I understand the truth and may not be able to do it. Although I didn't understand the truth at first, when I explained it clearly, I was able to do it. Therefore, when talking about truth, you still have to talk to people who understand the truth.
"There are all kinds of people in this world. It's not that they don't understand, but they can't do it. It's not easy to do it in the face of all kinds of temptations. Just say it's difficult for me..." Zhang Yang
He slowly shook his head.
"Why?"
"You and I see people and things differently. Naturally, our realms are also different. In your eyes, serving as an official and benefiting the people is your dream, but I regard the people as ants. How do you want me to be an official?
How can I find a way to become an official?" Zhang Yang said calmly.
"Treat the people like ants..." The president frowned, this sentence made him very uncomfortable.
"Brother, you and I are intertwined, but the paths we take are not different. I understand your thoughts, but you can't understand mine. We are completely from two worlds. We have our own goals and various needs.
Ideals and pursuits are completely different, so I don’t have to force myself.”
"My thoughts are a bit extreme. People are equal. Although people's thoughts cannot be unified, spiritually, they will gradually sublimate, just like that Utopia..." Mr. Chen said seriously.
"Haha, brother, people will never be equal, and you don't have to convince me, look!"
Zhang Yang smiled slightly, astonishingly, his eyes shot out a ball of golden light, and Zhang Yang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, waved his hand slightly...
Whoosh...
Extreme speed!
Extreme speed!
The president's eyes shone with terrifying light. He found that he had lost control of the car. The car was driving crazily on the road. The stopwatch had lost its function and was swinging wildly. This reminded the president of the feeling of riding a roller coaster...
…
Whoosh...
A taxi was driving slowly and leisurely on the empty road. The driver was listening to music and looking around, looking for his "prey". Suddenly, a black car came towards him.
One meter!
Two meters!
Too fast!
"Gah!" The only measure the taxi driver could take was to step on the brakes hard, looking at the car that slammed into him with a pair of dull and frightened eyes, it was over...
Suddenly, the windshield went dark, and the black bridge car flew off the ground...
The taxi driver sat on his chair, his eyes vacant and dull.
"Brother, buddy, I just saw a bridge car flying..." Two minutes later, the taxi driver finally woke up and immediately turned on the pager and shouted excitedly.
"cut!"
"It's true. We were only two meters apart just now. The car was traveling at least 200 kilometers per hour. It was about to hit us. But at that moment, it suddenly flew past the front of my car...
"
"Hey, have you watched too many cartoons? I have told you many times not to watch cartoons with your son. Every time I go to your house, I see you with a silly smile on your face. Well, something has finally happened. You are crazy.
Well, I fantasize about seeing Ultraman..."
"I...said..." The driver was so angry that he vomited blood and hung up the pager.
"Brother, buddy..." Who knows, just after the pager was turned off, the other party asked to talk. After turning it on, excited shouts came out immediately.
"What's wrong?" the taxi driver said angrily.
"I, I...I saw Transformers...a car flew over my head..." The voice in the microphone was incoherent and extremely excited.
"You have watched too many cartoons, right?" the taxi driver sneered.
"...'
…
"Zhang Yang, stop, stop, stop... I have a heart disease..."
"OK."
Zhang Yang waved his hand gently, and the car slowly returned to normal speed.
"Huchi, wheeze..."
President Chen was breathing rapidly, his face was pale, and large beads of sweat were streaming down his forehead, as if he had been fished out of water. The lightning-fast speed just now made him feel the fear of death for the first time.
"How did you do it?" President Chen looked at Zhang Yang with eyes full of horror.
"Martial arts!"
"Martial arts?" President Chen made an action that was inconsistent with his identity and opened his mouth.
"Yes, a kind of martial arts that can treat ordinary people as ants. Look at you..." As Zhang Yang spoke, he motioned to Mr. Chen to look at a lush tree in front of him, and waved his hand gently towards the big tree.
A terrifying scene appeared in front of Governor Chen.
The lush tree seemed to have completed hundreds of years of life in an instant. Under the dim street lights, you could see with the naked eye that the leaves slowly began to turn yellow, and then fell, slowly, slowly.
Slowly, the tree trunks also began to wither. Some branches could not bear their own weight and broke and fell to the sidewalk. After falling to the ground, they immediately turned into powder and scattered in the breeze...
Spring is gone.
Autumn is coming.
Then, winter came too...
It seems that this frightening scene is also full of magic. In just a few seconds, spring, summer, autumn and winter, birth, old age, illness and death are performed on a tree...
The bridge car parked quietly on the side of the road. There was silence in the car, and there was a long silence.
Mr. Chen's eyes were always fixed on that tree. The bare branches and leaves fluttering in the breeze looked extremely desolate...
"Zhang Yang, are you a human being?" President Chen finally calmed down.
"Yes." Zhang Yang smiled.
"Is this why you don't want to be an official?"
"yes."
"Well, if I were so powerful, I wouldn't be an official. All the people are just ants. Haha, I am indeed an ant. I didn't expect that there really are such magical martial arts. By the way, Zhang Yang, why do you want me to know that you can
Martial arts?" President Chen suddenly asked.
"Think for yourself, you will think of it." Zhang Yang smiled slightly.
"Well, since you said so, I definitely want it." President Chen thought for a moment and nodded.
"President Chen, do you know Cai Jing?"
"Yes, Annihilus."
"Yes, Chen Chen, but the Cai Jing I know is still a calligrapher."
"I also know that because Cai Jing was a minister, there are not many calligraphy works handed down from generation to generation. Even if he does have them, they are deliberately omitted and rarely included with the works of other calligraphers."
