Chapter 0322 The Hong Kong dollar is like duckweed, and it is decoupled from the US dollar

Gao Xian was very lucky and his wish came true.

Deng Gong personally called Gao Xian and told Gao Xian that Zhou Gong wanted to meet him in the ward.

"How is Mr. Yi?" After meeting, Zhou Gongla first asked about Yi Mingzhe's current situation in a normal manner.

"Jia Yue has a heart disease. Fortunately, he takes good care of himself and it's not a serious problem." Gao Xian replied respectfully.

After chatting for a while, Duke Zhou said: "Mr. Gao serves as the vice chairman of the Xiangjiang Trade Development Bureau and promotes Xiangjiang's industrial and commercial products to the world. He must have traveled to many places around the world."

"That's true." Gao Xian took the opportunity to introduce to Duke Zhou what he knew about the world situation, and focused on the new political situation in the United States.

"Not long ago, I met with Nixon at his home in San Clemente, California, who resigned due to the Watergate scandal."

"As far as I know, Nixon will come back soon to restore his damaged reputation."

"Nixon attaches great importance to political legacy such as the achievements of the current diplomatic relations between China and the United States, and with his heritage, he will surely become a very important political elder in the United States even in the opposition."

Duke Zhou nodded, "Welcome him to visit China again."

Gao Xian also said some things that David Rockefeller hoped that the Trilateral Commission would have more contact with China. However, due to Duke Zhou's health, the conversation should not be too long, so after feeling that it was about the same, he took the initiative to stand up and leave.

.

Before leaving the hospital, Gao Xian gave repeated instructions to the staff around Duke Zhou. After the photos and negatives of himself and Duke Zhou were prepared, they must not forget to notify him to come and pick them up.

Gao Xian really cares about these group photos, because they are also a reflection of his profound heritage.

Gao Xian even thought that if he had the opportunity to take a photo with the chairman, then this era would really not have been in vain.

However, Gao Xian also understands that this wish is more difficult. Also due to health reasons, the chairman has not appeared in the public eye for a long time, including this year's National Day activities.

Of course, extravagant hopes are extravagant hopes, and with Gao Xian's perseverance style, they will definitely be expressed. As for whether they can be realized, let nature take its course.

Gao Xian's meeting with Duke Zhou this time means that the task assigned to him by David Rockefeller to help the Trilateral Commission contact China has been completed.

In fact, this efficiency was unexpected even by Gao Xian.

Although Gao Xian agreed to David Rockefeller, he would not be David Rockefeller's puppet, but would have his own rhythm of doing things.

According to Gao Xian's plan, this task must be carried out slowly and step by step, without losing stability, and showing value that matches the difficulty.

Unexpectedly, Duke Zhou personally met with Gao Xian, and the matter was settled overnight.

Of course, completing the task so quickly does not mean that the difficulty of the task is low, but it more clearly reflects that Gao Xian is really awesome!

For example, when Bush found out that Gao Xian had met Duke Zhou, he was so envious that he tested Gao Xian to see if he could bridge the gap and allow himself to meet Duke Zhou.

Gao Xian calmly told Bush that he just encountered a rare opportunity.

The Xiangjiang industrial and commercial delegation was arranged to visit some places to learn about the achievements of the motherland, and the first part was naturally in Yanjing.

Just as it happened, after Gao Xian got the photo of himself and Duke Zhou, the Xiangjiang industrial and commercial delegation's visit to Yanjing also ended and they went to other cities.

What made Gao Xian ecstatic was that as soon as he arrived in Chang'an with the Xiangjiang industrial and commercial delegation, Yanjing called and told him that the chairman wanted to meet him.

Yes, this era is indeed not in vain!

Without saying a word, Gao Xian returned to Yanjing without stopping and met the chairman as he wished.

There is no need to elaborate on the specific process, what is important is the value it brings.

The first point, and the most obvious point at present, is that Gao Xian is not only the youngest member representing the Hong Kong region in the Trilateral Commission.

Why is the mother country so important to a person who is wandering around the world, and why should the wanderer give positive feedback to the mother country?

At this time, Gao Xian's rising tide lifts all boats, which is one of the answers.

After Gao Xian finished his work in Yanjing, he did not go after the Xiangjiang industrial and commercial delegation to continue his previous visits, but returned to Xiangjiang.

Because, a relatively important situation change has occurred in Hong Kong, that is, the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar have decoupled, and the exchange rate has become freely floating.

The reason for this is that the U.S. dollar has depreciated so much that the Hong Kong dollar, whose exchange rate is pegged to the U.S. dollar, cannot hold on any longer and has no choice but to decouple in order to protect itself in the immediate future.

The depreciation of the U.S. dollar in recent years can be easily understood by using the ratio of gold to the U.S. dollar.

When Gao Xian first came to this era, the Bretton Woods system was still there, and gold had a long-term stable official price against the U.S. dollar, that is, one ounce of gold was worth thirty-five U.S. dollars.

The U.S. dollar during this period was truly a U.S. dollar.

However, in August 1972, the then US President Richard Nixon, forced by the severe economic situation in the United States, decisively announced that he would stop the obligation to convert the US dollar into gold, and the Bretton Woods system was effectively over.

Correspondingly, the ratio of gold to U.S. dollars continues to hit new highs, with one ounce of gold worth forty U.S. dollars... one ounce of gold to two hundred U.S. dollars... and now one ounce of gold to more than four hundred U.S. dollars.

Hong Kong's economy is indeed taking off, but Hong Kong's economy is not yet large enough to withstand such a sharp depreciation of the U.S. dollar.

I have to say that this is an obvious difference between "small" and "big" in the international landscape. Being developed does not necessarily mean being strong.

The Hong Kong dollar, which was originally pegged to the British pound, was pegged to the U.S. dollar. The exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar was 5.65 Hong Kong dollars to one U.S. dollar. Now the Hong Kong dollar has decoupled from the U.S. dollar and has become freely floating. The exchange rate has suddenly become turbulent, approaching 6 Hong Kong dollars.

to one dollar.

As a result, Hong Kong's economy, which relies heavily on import and export trade, has also become troubled.

Specific to every company, there will naturally be some operational changes, and Gaoxing Group is no exception.

In fact, with Gao Xian's ability to predict, his information channels in the Hong Kong government, and Gao Yi's research level, this major adjustment of the Hong Kong dollar policy is not too unexpected.

For example, the 40-storey building that Happy Industrial is currently under construction in Causeway Bay, as well as the Chinese Bank in Central, which has been rebuilt into a 20-storey new building, have basically eliminated the impact of price fluctuations of construction raw materials.

Kexin Group is indeed a bit big, and it is impossible to take care of everyone, especially the imported refined oil products of Kexin Energy.

As soon as Gao Xian came back and took charge personally, people in both Gaoxing Group and Gao Yi suddenly stabilized.

In this turbulent period, all we can do is hold on and slam the table and curse, which is of no use.

On the surface, Gao Xian was preparing in a serious manner, but secretly he was carefully observing which British companies were getting closer and closer to death after the Hong Kong stock market crash, global oil crisis, Hong Kong dollar turmoil and other shocks.
