At ten o'clock in the morning, Hou Weidong called the office and said, "I'll ask everyone to come up, don't be too slow in the office. For such an important program, the cadres of the New Management Committee must watch it."

There were about twenty people sitting in the conference room on the top floor of the office. Zhang Xiangyu was sitting in the front, holding the remote control board in his hand, and changed several channels in succession. When Hou Weidong, Zhang Jin and others arrived at the roof, he adjusted the program to Central Station 1.

At ten o'clock, Premier Zhu Rongji still did not appear on the TV screen.

Today is Zhu Rongji led members of the new government to meet with reporters. Hou Weidong asked all the cadres at home to watch it on time, because the Prime Minister held a press conference, which was the best time to let everyone directly understand the national political stance.

Seeing that the officials of the agency were almost here, Hou Weidong stood on the stage and patted the microphone gently, "I'll say a few words before the press conference started."

The venue became quiet.

"The New Management Committee is the front line of reform in Yiyang County. To a certain extent, it is also the front line of reform in Shazhou. The city and county have high expectations for us. Since we are on the front line of reform, we should maintain our sensitivity to international and domestic major events, so that we can continuously promote the development of the New Management Committee. In layman's terms, the cadres of our New Management Committee must be able to bury their heads and learn to look up at the road."

After working in the New Management Committee for more than a year, Hou Weidong always felt that the vision of the New Management Committee was generally not very broad. At the beginning of the year, the New Management Committee wrote an application to the Organization Department, hoping to send a group of cadres to work in developed coastal cities. First, to increase their knowledge, and second, to attract investment.

The report was handed to the organization department and it had to be studied by the county party committee standing committee before it could be decided.

Although there is no reply yet, Hou Weidong was not idle either. He sent six backbones to Xiuyun Pharmaceutical Factory and Lingxi Group respectively for a three-month training session to improve the ability of the new management committee cadres to adapt to the market economy.

"Why do I hope everyone will open their eyes to see the world? Because the changes in this world are too direct to the new management committee? On January 2 this year, the Indonesian rupiah exchange rate fell sharply. It has depreciated by 70% compared with the price ratio in early July last year. At the same time, the stock market has also fallen by 20%. These things will definitely have a significant impact on domestic economic policies, which is related to the rise and fall of the new management committee."

Due to regular exercise, Hou Weidong's speech skills have improved rapidly. He talked for more than ten minutes and concluded: "After the establishment of the new management committee, everyone should not regard themselves as cadres in inland cities, but should have the courage to renew their ideas and boldly explore them together with cities like Guangdong and Shenzhen."

Since Hou Weidong took over the New Management Committee, on the one hand, he has strict requirements on his work, and on the other hand, the benefits of the New Management Committee have been greatly improved. He bought a transportation car and issued a work clothes worth more than 1,000 yuan. There is also a bonus of 200 yuan per month, and the unit has started construction of a house. Such generous treatment is the first in Yiyang County. Compared with tobacco and electricity, bank employees are not bad.

As soon as he finished speaking, applause came out on the TV. Premier Zhu Rongji of the State Council led members of the new government to the press conference.

Hou Weidong hurriedly walked off the stage and sat with Zhang Jin and Zhang Xiangyu.

On TV. As soon as the host finished speaking, the reporters rush to raise their arms. There was a major problem with the Southeast Asian economy, and Japan seemed to be unable to play the role of a savior. Therefore, the iron-faced prime minister Zhu Rongji made such a statement, which became the focus of world attention.

Zhang Xiangyu has been dealing with entrepreneurs in the past year and has the most intuitive understanding of the market economy. He told Hou Weidong: "Director Hou, do you think the new government will depreciate the RMB?"

"Probably not."

The two were chatting, when Zhu Rongji suddenly pointed at a young woman on TV and said, "Please take care of Miss Wu Xiaoli of Hong Kong Phoenix TV, okay? I like the show she hosts very much."

A beautiful and dignified female reporter stood up and said, "The outside world calls you an economic czar. Do you like this title?"

Zhu Rongji replied, "I don't like this title." Then, he said earnestly: "This session of the Ninth National People's Congress has entrusted me with an important task. I feel that the task is arduous and I am afraid of letting down the expectations of the people for me. However, no matter whether it is a mine array or abyss ahead, I will move forward without any hydrogen, and devote myself to it until I die."

Zhu Rongji's monologue fully demonstrated his unique personal charm, and the new management committee is used to listening to standard official languages.

After hearing this, the New Management Association was silent at first, and then there was a warm applause. The applause was spontaneous. Hou Weidong also clapped his hands vigorously. He said to Zhang Jin and Zhang Xiangyu: "With Premier Zhu's statement, it seems that the New Management Association's future is bright."

Finally, Zhu Rongji promised to complete three things within four years: one is to ensure that the RMB does not depreciate, the second is to activate the economy and start domestic demand, and the third is to help state-owned enterprises get out of the predicament within three years.

After watching TV, Hou Weidong kept singing Premier Zhu’s speech, feeling inexplicably excited. As soon as he walked into the office, Li Jing called in and said, “Weidong, do you see if you see the press conference? Judging from Premier Zhu Rongji’s statement, the government is going to increase investment in fixed assets. The spring of Seiko Group is coming. I am going to go to the bank to pay for goods and add some large equipment.”

Hou Weidongdao: "The financial system is in a tight spot now, and no bank is willing to take out loans."

"That's the past. Premier Zhu wants to expand domestic demand, and the monetary policy should be relaxed, otherwise it will not be able to expand domestic demand. I guess a new policy will be issued soon. I will prepare to hold a board meeting next week. You should still come here in your busy schedule." The first few words are still the style of a strong woman, and the latter words are already a little soft and warm.

Hou Weidong smiled and said, "Okay, I will go home tonight and ask my mother to sign a power of attorney for me. I will come to the meeting legally. Otherwise, I am not a director of Seiko Coalition, so why should I come to the meeting?"

"It's too cautious."

Li Jing said: "Your investment is completely legal, there is no need to be so careful. Moreover, in Seiko Group, only a few people know your identity, and they will never betray you."

Hou Weidong thought too much in his mind during this period. He did not explain, but said: "Be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship, it is always good to be cautious."

He held a meeting at the county government in the afternoon, and it was not over until five o'clock. After that, Hou Weidong drove his blue bird straight to Shazhou, because at this time, Liu Guangfen was working as a firefighter at his eldest brother's house in Shazhou to put out the fire at his eldest brother's house.

After graduating from high school, my sister-in-law Jiang Meng was admitted to Shazhou Normal University. After graduating from the Normal University, she was assigned to school and went back to school. She traveled around the school and rarely had any contact with society. She was a simple girl with a high spirit.

After being transferred to Shazhou, she followed her colleagues to trade stocks. After the Southeast Asian financial crisis, the originally sluggish mainland stock market became soft and powerless, powerless and undying, setting wave after wave of new lows. Jiang Meng's stock was basically cut to her ankle, leaving only 100,000 yuan of funds, and most of the 100,000 yuan was Hou Weidong's money.

After being trapped on the mountain, Jiang Meng gave up the stock market from her heart. Inspired by her colleagues, she turned to the embrace of pyramid schemes. She was particularly devoted to pyramid schemes. Finally, when the winter vacation of 1998 was approaching, she secretly submitted her resignation letter to the school.

After the Chinese New Year, Hou Weiguo saw that Jiang dreamed of not attending school, so he learned that she had resigned. Hou Weiguo's nose was almost pissed. The two quarreled for several days and refused to give in. Finally, they got to the point of divorce. Liu Guangfen was just a firefighter.

After entering Shazhou, Hou Weidong called his elder brother first and made an appointment to meet in a teahouse outside the public security bureau.

Seeing the eldest brother's face full of bad luck, Hou Weidong smiled and said, "Brother, don't be sad. My sister-in-law just resigns, and it's no big deal. Why bother to get divorced?"

Hou Weiguo used eighteen martial arts to Jiang Chu, but there was no effect at all. He was a little discouraged and angry and said, "The country explicitly prohibits pyramid schemes. This thing has harmed many people. Jiang Chu really has a good idea. He trusted this trick in his bones and didn't believe it no matter how he said it." He said, "Jiang Meng can still listen to your words. Today I will persuade her to see if it works."

Hou Weidong advised: "Brother, it doesn't matter much. When my sister-in-law gets bleeding, I will find him a job. The treatment will definitely be better than being a teacher. Or you can buy a piece of land and build a house and make money. There is really no need to divorce due to resigning. Now it is a diversified society."

When Hou Weidong met Jiang Chuzhi, she was sitting opposite Liu Guangfen with her head stubbornly. Although she didn't say anything, her face looked a little dissatisfied and unhappy.

Liu Guangfen looked up at his youngest son, and a bitter smile appeared on his fat face and shook his head slightly.

Hou Weidong sat next to Jiang Meng, casually spoke a few words, and asked, "Sister-in-law, you have been doing pyramid schemes for more than a year. How much money have you made?"

Jiang Meng borrowed Hou Weidong for nearly 100,000 yuan in succession, so she was still very good to her brother-in-law, but it was related to Qinghe's career, so she had a strong attitude and said: "Doing Qinghe is not only a career that makes money, but also a positive lifestyle. Qinghe people have always stood at the forefront of the tide of the times."

Hou Weidong asked strangely: "What Qinghe?"

Jiang Meng said in a daze: "I don't know what I do. Why do you object? Qinghe's career has been around for fifty years abroad, and has been in Lingxi for three years, creating countless miracles."

"It's also a pyramid scheme."

“It’s direct sales.”

Jiang Meng talked casually, which made Hou Weidong not know what to say for a moment. He thought for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, you quit your job and do business. I support you. A friend of mine opened a building materials store in Lingxi, which sold very popularly. If you are not interested in doing this business, I will introduce it to you and you should be able to make money."

Jiang Meng said: "You are a traditional industry. Qinghe's marketing model and profit model are the most advanced in the world and much stronger than traditional industries."

Liu Guangfen stood at the kitchen door, and she was facing her back to Jiang Meng, shaking her head like a plucking drum."
