Su Mo entered the courtyard. Mr. Su was lying on a wicker chair with his eyes closed. Su Mo knew that the old man was not asleep, so he walked over and touched the teapot. He found that the body of the teapot was already warm, so he filled some hot water. He poured the tea.
Mr. Su opened his eyes, glanced at Su Mo, and said, "Did you hear the conversation between me and Xishan just now?"
Sumo nodded and said respectfully: "I heard it, but I didn't understand it."
Mr. Su sighed and said, "When the time is right, I will explain everything to you, but not yet."
Hearing what Mr. Su said, Su Mo became more and more curious about what happened that made it so mysterious. However, he knew that his father had his reasons for not telling him anything, so he smiled and said, "I've never been very curious."
Mr. Su sighed softly and said: "You have a relatively gentle personality, which is completely opposite to your elder brother. If he hadn't acted too tough and caused such a big disturbance in Xijiang, he wouldn't have been tabooed by others.
I hate you, but I did it secretly. However, you still need to pay attention to changes in the future. Although a gentle personality can be on the side, you still need to have a certain amount of courage if you want to go further."
Su Mo knew that Mr. Su was trying to teach him, and he was also aware of his shortcomings. He had been in the officialdom smoothly for so many years, but he was always one step behind his peers. Among the thirty people at the deputy ministerial level, he was only one
It's just in the middle. Among the major factions in the country, the Soviet Union is lonely and no longer prosperous. It's not that there are fewer places in the core position than other factions, but there are serious gaps in the middle. This time and the next time, the Soviet Union
After several ministers in the family retreat to the second line, there will be a situation where they will be unable to succeed. Sumo is still a critical step away from that step, but in Mr. Su's view, it is still difficult for him to take that step.
Sumo's face became solemn, he sighed deeply and said, "Dad, please don't worry, I will definitely work hard and will not disappoint your expectations."
Mrs. Su nodded and said: "You are much more sensible than that incompetent third child, and I am very confident in you. In fact, since the boss's accident, I have also figured out that you should not be too demanding in everything. If I hadn't forced him back then,
I will not let the boss develop that very stubborn character. I am already satisfied if you can go down step by step. After all, you still have your sister supporting me in front. If nothing unexpected happens in the next term, if she can go up
If we take one step forward, the Su family will still have some strength left."
Su Mo nodded and said: "Sister, she is so good, she will definitely not disappoint your expectations."
Mrs. Su took a long breath and said: "She is a girl after all. This is a society where men are strong and women are weak. She is always vulnerable. It's also hard for her. She hasn't gotten married for so many years."
Sumo sighed softly: "Eldest sister has paid too much for the family."
Mrs. Su said: "This is her fate. No one can change it."
Su Mo chewed on Mrs. Su's words, always feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't know where the problem was.
Su Mo and the old man then talked about some domestic situations. The old man Su was a little worried about the current economic policies. Capital from Western countries is pervasive and is gradually eating away at the body cultivated after the domestic reform and opening up. In a short period of time, it seems that
The impact is not big, but in the long run it is likely to become a chronic disease deeply rooted in the Chinese economy.
Mrs. Su said: "Now the country should give more support to local private enterprises and focus on cultivating domestic financial investment platforms and outstanding entrepreneurs. The financial field is a battlefield without smoke. We must rely on our own weapons and equipment instead of always seeking help from abroad.
If you don’t help, you will only become a puppet in the hands of others, let resources flow out, and ultimately make the domestic financial sector a mess. Now that there are too many US dollar reserves, it is a serious problem.”
Now China is the largest creditor country in the United States. On the one hand, it shows China’s strength. On the other hand, it is also tied up by the U.S. economy. Once the dollar depreciates, it means that the dollar reserves have shrunk significantly. In short, China’s original borrowing
Give the United States one hundred dollars. In fact, even if the interest is included, the United States only needs to pay back eighty dollars to cover its debt. And the way the United States wants to devalue the dollar is also very simple. The banking system can print more banknotes.
That’s it.
The U.S. dollar has become the world's currency. Not only China, but the entire world is tied together by the United States. In 2008, the Chinese stock market experienced a major shock, which also made the Chinese government fully aware of the cruelty of the financial battlefield, which is no less brutal than in the hot war.
*The battlefield of weapons.
Sumo thought for a long time and said: "The central government also realized the seriousness of the situation, so it proposed a 4 trillion bailout project."
A bitter smile appeared on Mr. Su's lips, and he said: "This is just a strategy of demolishing the east wall to pay for the west wall. The government is afraid that more than 10 trillion residents' savings will lead to economic collapse, so it distributes 4 trillion yuan. This is actually a disguised form of exploiting the people."
Capital makes the bubble bigger."
Mr. Su is not an economist, but his perspective is high enough and he has experienced enough things. He can point out the key to the problem in a few words. A four trillion bailout? Everyone knows that this is actually to slow down the speed of economic recession.
.
Sumo said: "It makes sense not to let the crisis break out immediately. After all, there will always be some variables, and appropriate methods can be found to revitalize the domestic economy."
Mr. Su shook his head and sighed solemnly: "Actually, everyone knows where the problem lies, but it is difficult for this generation of leaders to have the courage to scrape the bones and heal the wounds."
Sumo's mouth was filled with bitterness and he asked, "You mean corruption?"
Mrs. Su nodded and said: "Corruption is fiercer than tigers. The reason why the domestic economy is full of holes now is mainly because the atmosphere within the party is not pure enough and a group of people have transformed power into private interests. It seems that the domestic environment is bright and bright, and the development momentum is
It keeps rising, but it is actually vulnerable.”
Sumo also sighed deeply and said, "The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has been shouting about killing tigers, but there hasn't been much movement."
"The main thing is the lack of support." Mr. Su squinted his eyes and said: "We old guys don't have much left to live. Mr. Tang called me two days ago and asked me to go to Yanjing. I agreed.
He is dead. I’m afraid Mr. Tang is going to make big moves, and he will probably put a lot of effort into anti-corruption.”
Su Mo thought of the tall and thin old man in his memory and asked curiously: "Is Mr. Tang in good health?"
Mr. Su shook his head and said: "You are five years older than me. Although your body and bones are stronger than mine, it is time for you to realize your fate."
Su Mo's heart was still open. The reason why Mr. Tang called his father was to form an alliance. An alliance must have a leader. As the inviter, Mr. Tang naturally sat in the main seat.
The Tang family has a certain advantage over the Su family. The second son of the Tang family, Tang Hao, is now the secretary of the Yanjing Municipal Party Committee and a strong contender for the next national leader. Among the third generation figures of the Tang family, there are also people like Tang
An outstanding person like Tianyu.
Mr. Su has always been in poor health, but he still insisted on going to Yanjing. He must have taken a fancy to the rejuvenation of the Tang family. Now that the Su family is weak, if he can form a good relationship with the Tang family, they can work together to survive.
Overcoming the difficulties of the past few years.
Of course, Mr. Tang also had his own considerations in inviting the Su family as an ally. Although the Su family has lost its reputation in the political arena in recent years, its position in the military is still strong. If the Su family can be brought into alliance, it will be more powerful in the military.
Its strength has been strengthened, and it is faintly surpassing the Ning family, the northern faction and other forces.
Su Mo said worriedly: "The Tang family already has the Cao family to cooperate, so why are they so eager to find allies?"
Mrs. Su said in a deep voice: "The party is rectifying the military recently, and the Cao family is afraid that it will be implicated to some extent. The northern side has been resorting to frequent and powerful measures recently, which has caused a headache for the Cao family.
The losses were heavy. Old Man Cao’s precious son also suffered a lot, which can be seen from the frequent personnel transfers in the General Logistics Department.”
Su Mo sighed and said with emotion: "So it turns out that Mr. Tang is too shrewd. Since the army is being provoked, it naturally hopes to overpower the government."
Now that the momentum of the Tang family has been established, even if the northern faction makes other moves, it will be difficult to curb their upward trend. The Tang family now seeks out the Su family because they want to stabilize the rear and stabilize the army, and then provide support from the government.
Opponents apply pressure.
What Mrs. Su is thinking about is whether he can gain a position for the Su lineage through this change.
Mr. Su smiled and said: "As people age, they become wiser. Counting on my fingers, I haven't seen him for more than ten years. He was one of the four most beautiful men with me back then. All the other beautiful men are dead.
He and I are the only ones still here." Speaking of this, Mrs. Su was also very sad.
Su Mo knew that Mr. Su and Mr. Tang had always been rivals. From the army to the government, they had never submitted to the other. But now that the Su family is weak, Mr. Su is naturally at a disadvantage in this alliance.
This must have made Mr. Su feel a little unwilling.
There is nothing we can do about it. The Tang family is prospering, while the Su family is barely maintaining. The gap between the advancement and retreat appears.
The situation of the Tang family and the Su family are actually very similar. Both the eldest sons have passed away, but the difference is that the Tang family relies on the second son Tang Hao, while the Su family relies on the eldest daughter Su Qing. Su Mo said in a deep voice: "Dad
, we must do a good job in cultivating family talents. We can lose to the Tang family in this decade, but in the next ten years, we must reverse the situation."
A gleam flashed in Mr. Su's eyes, his brows raised and lowered, and he sighed softly: "Are you planning for twenty years later? This is a bit interesting."
Sumo had long been accustomed to his father's expression. He had been calculating all his life and never tired of it. Sumo admired his father from the bottom of his heart, but at the same time he was a little afraid of him because he had no idea what he was thinking.
