Chapter 379 The storm begins to brew

"Boss, I asked someone to bring you a few boxes of cigars, authentic Cuban goods." On the second day after Wu Wen went to New York, Zhao Dongsheng received a call from Bill, general manager of Tiandi Finance Company, the overseas investment company of Warwick Group. After chatting for a while, Bill told Zhao Dongsheng something with a smile.

"Then I have to try it and see if it's too big." Zhao Dongsheng laughed at the moment and said meaningfully. This was the code he agreed with Bill. Once Bill mentioned the cigar, it means that Soros' new attack on the Thai baht is about to begin.

In February, Soros led international hot money to launch a tentative attack on the Thai baht, and his technique was still the same as attacking the British pound, borrowing a large amount of Thai baht and exchanging it into US dollars in the foreign exchange market, hoping to suppress the Thai baht.

However, the Thai Central Bank realized this and immediately used US$2 billion in foreign exchange reserves to interfere in the foreign exchange market, calming the storm and causing Soros to return empty-handed.

After three months, Soros made a comeback. As a "experienced", Zhao Dongsheng knew very well that the Thai government, with only US$30 billion in foreign exchange reserves, was not as lucky as last time, because the Thai government would face a joint encirclement of international investment capital, and the funds raised by the other side would exceed 100 billion US dollars. Both sides were not the same opponent of the same order of magnitude at all. .

This is undoubtedly a disaster for the Thai government, which is weak in the economy, sluggish in the real estate market, sharp rise in outstanding debts and difficulties in financial institutions' capital turnover. If it cannot withstand the encirclement of international investment capital, it will trigger a series of economic crises.

After hanging up Bill's phone, Zhao Dongsheng poured a glass of red wine from the office wine cabinet and stood in front of the bright floor-to-ceiling window. He looked at the distance at many high-rise buildings and more high-rise buildings in a state of under construction. He was a vibrant Huangzhou City, while leisurely savoring red wine.

This Asian financial crisis is Zhao Dongsheng's last chance to make huge profits in this century, and he will never miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Boss, it's time to go to the airport." Not long after, the office door opened. Han Susu walked in and said in a sweet voice. Today, Zhao Dongsheng was going to receive an industrial delegation from Germany and was preparing to cooperate with him in the field of machinery manufacturing.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dongsheng drank the red wine in his wine glass in one breath and led his people to the airport by car. Recently, he has frequently contacted industrial delegations from European and American countries to discuss cooperation matters, and did his best to narrow the gap between Warwick Group and European and American countries in the industrial level.

When Warwick Group was unknown in the past, Zhao Dongsheng would probably be turned away even if he visited the door. But now it is different. Warwick Group owns three Fortune 200 listed companies, and has become one of the world's first-class multinational companies and has enough capital to negotiate with companies from European and American countries.

Two days later, on the morning of May 17, Zhao Dongsheng received a definite news as soon as he got up. Soros launched an offensive to the Thai baht last night and sold a large amount of Thai baht in the international market. This time he did not act alone, and joined forces with some international investment capital to operate this matter, preparing to form an expectation of Thai baht depreciation worldwide in order to cause greater panic, which would attract more international investment capital to join.

With Soros' move, the Thai baht sniper battle officially began, which marked that the financial storm that swept Asia had begun to brew.

Zhao Dongsheng knew that the Thai government would never sit idly by the behavior of international investment capital such as Soros, and would definitely launch a sharp counterattack, thereby scaring away international speculators such as Soros, but unfortunately it failed.

If it were Zhao Dongsheng, he would not have put down such a large piece of fat in front of him. It is obvious that Thailand's economy has reached its current level, and the bubble is terrible. As long as there is a needle that is sharp enough, it can pierce the bubble and enjoy the fruits of victory next.

And Soros is the needle tip of the needle that pierced Thailand's economic bubble, and is constantly trying to attract international speculative capital to strengthen the needle body.

In the morning, Zhao Dongsheng presided over a mayor's office meeting in the municipal government, made corresponding arrangements for the work of various departments in Huangzhou City, and emphasized the need to strengthen public security management.

With the rapid development of Huangzhou's economy, the number of migrant workers in Huangzhou has grown rapidly, which inevitably brought some public security pressure. There have been many incidents of workers fighting outside the city.

In Zhao Dongsheng's view, if you want to solve the security problem, you cannot rely solely on the police. This is a complex social problem. Multiple departments need to work together to provide those energetic workers with a good living environment and enrich their spiritual life.

At noon, Zhao Dongsheng and the deputy mayors had a working meal in the cafeteria, and then took them to the new municipal government office building.

Since two years ago, Huangzhou City has planned the office buildings of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. This is not only because Huangzhou City has affluent finances, but more importantly, with the rapid development of Huangzhou's economy, the old office buildings of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government can no longer meet the daily work needs of the two units and departments.

Therefore, Huangzhou City decided to establish a new office building. The New Municipal Party Committee Office Building and the New Municipal Government Office Building were built in two different places. People from the two systems will bid farewell to the era of working together.

The new municipal government office building is located in Shinan, Huangzhou City, with a 20th floor in height. It is magnificent and grand. All departments of the municipal government have obtained sufficient office space.

According to the plan, people from the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will move into the new office building on June 1. Staff from the two systems have successively transported some office supplies. The new Municipal Party Committee building is located in the west of Huangzhou City.

When Zhao Dongsheng and his group arrived at the office building of the new municipal government, the staff of the municipal government who were busy in the office building greeted them respectfully. Everyone's face was filled with excitement. The working environment of the new office building was very superior. Everyone could sit in a spacious and bright office to work. The office conditions were the best for governments at all levels in Hedong Province.

"Mayor, Mayor Nam Yuncao's phone number." Just as Zhao Dongsheng and a group of deputy mayors were sitting in the multi-purpose conference hall talking and laughing, Li Ya walked over quickly with the phone in her hand.

Li Ya is now the deputy director of the General Office of Huangzhou Municipal Government and a deputy director. Since the position of director of the General Office of the Municipal Government is vacant, Li Ya presided over the daily affairs. It can be said that he is the executive deputy director of the General Office of the Municipal Government.

Generally speaking, as Zhao Dongsheng's secretary, when Zhao Dongsheng was promoted to the mayor of Huangzhou City, Li Ya would become the director of the General Office of the Municipal Government. However, Li Ya's qualifications are too shallow and her level is too low, she is just a deputy director. The director of the General Office of the Municipal Government is the chief office, so she can only preside over the work of the General Office as the deputy director.

After three years, Li Ya has enough qualifications as deputy director, and she will naturally become the director of the General Office. By then, she will be the youngest virgin cadre in Huangzhou City, and she will also be a real-powered cadre.

Zhao Dongsheng has three mobile phones, one with him, one with Han Susu, and the other is the one in Li Ya's hands.

The mobile phones in Han Susu and Li Ya are official mobile phones. Those who make those two phone calls are at work. Generally speaking, Zhao Dongsheng's mobile phone is dealing with private matters. Unless there is an important official business to find him, they will not call this mobile phone, and only a few people know the number.

Mayor Cao mentioned by Li Ya refers to Cao Fude, mayor of Nanyun City, the capital of Huainan Province. After being mayor of Sanshan City for three years, Cao Fude took over the position of retired municipal party committee secretary and became the secretary of Sanshan City.

During the change of Nanyun City at the beginning of this year, he defeated many competitors and was elected as the mayor of Nanyun City, officially becoming a deputy provincial cadre.

The reason why Cao Fude became the mayor of Nanyun City is closely related to the economic achievements he achieved in Sanshan City. In five years, Cao Fude made Sanshan City's industrial output value jump from the middle and lower levels of the province to the second highest level in the province, second only to Nanyun City.

Although Zhao Dongsheng provided some help and suggestions for economic reform to Cao Fude, he did not expect that Cao Fude would do so well, which was beyond his expectations.

When they heard Cao Fude call Zhao Dongsheng, the people in the multi-functional conference room suddenly became quiet. They knew that Cao Fude was the mayor of Nanyun City. Zhao Dongsheng took the phone and spoke and walked out.

Cao Fude asked Zhao Dongsheng this time to invite him to visit Nanyun City in June in the name of Mayor of Nanyun City to discuss economic cooperation.

In fact, last night, Cao Fude had called Zhao Dongsheng, called Zhao Dongsheng on the cell phone, and told Zhao Dongsheng about this matter.

Although Cao Fude stood out in the competition for mayors, several deputy mayors of the Nagamo Municipal Government had older qualifications than him. Therefore, Cao Fude needed to come up with several major projects to establish his authority, and at the same time it also promoted the economic development of Nagamo.

Zhao Dongsheng readily agreed to Cao Fude's investigation requirements. Both Warwick Group and Huangzhou City need to strengthen the connection with the southern economically strong provinces. Huainan Province's economic strength is second only to Lingnan Province and Jianghai Province, and is Zhao Dongsheng's key cooperation goal.

After receiving Cao Fude's call, Zhao Dongsheng returned to the council room and told the invitation from the deputy mayors present. This time he was preparing to form a joint inspection team between Warwick Group and Huangzhou City to go to Nanyun City for inspection together. Liao Qiang, executive vice mayor in charge of economy, and Huang Hui, deputy mayor in charge of industry, will accompany him.

Liao Qiang was the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture, forestry and water in the last Huangzhou Municipal Government. This time, he became the executive deputy when the municipal government changed its term. He has taken a big step forward in his career.

The executive vice mayor of Huangzhou City is Zhao Dongsheng's most capable assistant in the municipal government. The province attaches great importance to this position and specially solicits Zhao Dongsheng's opinions. Zhao Dongsheng therefore recommended Liao Qiang.

Zhao Dongsheng and Liao Qiang have worked together for five years and are already very familiar with each other. Liao Qiang has strong working ability. The city's green agriculture has achieved tremendous development under his promotion and has formed a brand in the European and American markets.

Moreover, in order to enhance economic and industrial knowledge, Liao Qiang specially participated in a cadre training class held at Warwick Academy. He was the highest-level student in the training class. Now he can communicate with foreign guests in English, which shows that he has put in hard work, which is very difficult for a deputy mayor.

In addition to Liao Qiang's work ability, there is another very important point, that is, Liao Qiang is very familiar with Huangzhou City affairs, which will well implement Zhao Dongsheng's work intentions.

Liao Qiang didn't expect that he could serve as the executive vice mayor of Huangzhou City at first. He knew that many people in the province were competing for this position, and there were also people in the capital who were operating this matter, and he was very surprised that he was unexpectedly elected.

Later, Liao Qiang learned that it was Zhao Dongsheng who strongly recommended him to the province. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the executive deputy. He was both grateful and admired Zhao Dongsheng. He knew very well that Huangzhou City would achieve great achievements in economic development in the next five years. As the executive vice president of the municipal government, his future career will be bright.

Huang Hui, deputy mayor in charge of industry in Huangzhou City, is a cadre from the provincial party committee. He was originally the deputy director of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. He had outstanding work ability and was a young cadre who was very optimistic about Zhou Haoran. He was also an old acquaintance with Zhao Dongsheng and was very familiar with the progress of Huangzhou's industrial modernization reform.

"Governor..." Just as Zhao Dongsheng was talking about going to Nanyun City to inspect affairs, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and answered the phone, and said while walking out.
