Reborn Capital Madman

In order to establish and consolidate the public image of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund Administration's efficient work and transparent information under his leadership, Gao Xian held a meeting non-stop after returning to Hong Kong despite jet lag, introducing and summarizing the visit to Japan. , the central banks of the four international currencies, the US dollar, the British pound, and the West German mark, as well as the results of the International Monetary Fund and Wall Street, and formed a communiqué to announce it through the media to deliver accurate information to the market.

This kind of "both internal and external improvement" of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund Administration has achieved remarkable results.

Ren Zhigang, the vice president in charge of monetary policy, mentioned in his report that since December, the operation of the Hong Kong dollar's exchange rate system linked to a basket of international currencies has become increasingly stable, and the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar has remained at 7.7820 per US dollar. level and continues to be within the range allowed for fluctuations.

However, after exchange rate controls became tougher, the pressure shifted to interest rates.

A little more than two months have passed since the official implementation of the Hong Kong dollar-linked basket of international currency exchange rates. The Hong Kong Banking Association and the Hong Kong Financial Secretary's Banking Supervision have to deal with the Hong Kong dollar crisis, which rose to 16%. The banking industry's prime interest rate has been adjusted three times, with a rare frequency, and this trend should continue.

In fact, this phenomenon is not surprising. From the overheating of the Hong Kong economy to the outbreak of the Hong Kong dollar crisis, and then to the official implementation of the Hong Kong dollar linked to a basket of international currency exchange rates; from the suppression of economic bubbles to capital outflows, and then to inflows, profit-seeking capital and managers The intention is to fight again and again.

In Gao Xian's view, although the situation in one place is inevitably tense, the general trend is still encouraging. Take the very sensitive interbank interest rate as an example. When the Hong Kong dollar was linked to a basket of international currency exchange rates, the exchange rate system was officially implemented. It once soared to 41 centimeters, but it has not returned to the normal level step by step. This is the system's self-adjustment and repair ability, but the process is a bit worrying.

Li Guobao, the vice president in charge of banking affairs, said something with emotion: If the Financial Secretary also transferred the power of bank supervision to the Exchange Fund Administration, under the overall arrangement, the situation should not be like this. The ground was in a hurry.

Gao Xian, who was sitting in the middle, smiled and said nothing. Li Guobao said what was in his heart, but he really shouldn't rush into it. Let's digest the results of monetary policy first before talking about it.

"The meeting ends here." Gao Xian waved his hand, "I think I really need to take a nap to catch up on the jet lag."

Sir Gao had a good rest. We were at work. Everyone exchanged greetings and then went to deal with the things they were responsible for.

Gao Xian said that he wanted to rest, which was just an excuse. In fact, he planned to seize the time to take stock of the secret windfall.

After returning to the office, Gao Xian habitually asked his secretary if there were any particularly important matters in Xiangjiang recently.

After learning more about it, Gao Xian couldn't help but frown slightly. The Chinese leader in Haojiang, He Lao, had cancer. In the end, he failed to achieve the expected treatment effect. He died of illness a few days ago. In terms of all aspects, including personal relationships, , Gao Xian must go there in person to express his condolences.

Speaking of which, in terms of overseas Chinese affairs this year, two important figures, Mr. Liao and Mr. He, passed away one after another, which is really a great loss. After all, personal charm still plays a big role in this kind of connection, but this is why time passes. Unfortunately, my old father-in-law Yi Mingzhe is also in poor health.

Another thing that attracted Gao Xian's attention was that Luzon's uncle Benjamin had come to Xiangjiang on official business and wanted to pay a personal visit to Sir Gao.

Gao Xian waved his hand and asked the secretary to exit. He closed his eyes and rested for a while, then called the secretary in again and told him, "I have a whim and want to go to the vault. If someone comes to see me, please arrange another time, or

Let him wait in the reception room first.

After the explanation was clear, Gao Xian took the special elevator and went to the underground of Xinhua People's Bank Building, where the gold reserves of the Gao family, including Gaoyi, Youyi, Xiangji, and Youlian, were kept.

Using his only zero-level pass, Gao Xian arrived at the second underground floor of the Xinhua Pedestrian Building without any hindrance. He saw that the place was divided into several areas, with rows of shelves neatly placed, and labeled respectively.

Gold bars marked with Gaoyi, Benefit, Xiangji and Youlian are listed above.

Gao Xian walked down another level, where the security level was higher. He went directly into the area with the smelting furnace and started to "take out" things, including the three tons from the Johnson Matthey Bank vault at London's Heathrow Trade Center.

gold.

It was obvious that Gao Xian wanted to melt these gold bars bearing the Johnson Matthey logo without anyone noticing. As for the next step of finishing, he did not need to do it himself.

From a certain point of view, Gao Xian "touched" the gold from the hands of the robbers, which more or less helped them reduce the risk of jail time. "Sale of stolen goods" is a broad and profound knowledge!

Gao Xian was very careful when moving the gold bars, because if the thing was not positioned correctly, it would fall over and hit his feet, which would hurt. This is one of the labor protection clauses for workers in the vault.

Watching the gold bars melt, Gao Xian took a long breath. When he returned to the office, he asked someone to do the accounting and it was all over.

Among Johnson Matthey's losses disclosed by the media, in addition to the three tons of gold, there were also 3.2 million pounds in cash and a batch of jewelry including diamonds.

Gao Xian carefully "took out" these things. How to digest them without anyone noticing was more troublesome than melting the gold bars directly.

However, this is not too difficult for the Gaoyi family, which is now considered powerful.

After the inventory was almost complete, Gao Xian wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked out of the vault and returned to the office.

As a result, the secretary immediately came over to report that Benjamin, the uncle of Luzon State, was already waiting in the living room. It seemed that he was in a hurry. As soon as he heard the news that Sir Gao had returned to Xiangjiang, he wanted to meet him immediately.

In terms of love, Benjamin can be regarded as a lifesaver. When he was in Luzon, he treated him warmly. Now that he has come to Xiangjiang, Sir Gao, who has always been fastidious in doing things, will of course reciprocate the kindness on his own territory.

After walking quickly into the reception room, Gao Xian held Benjamin's hand with a cheerful expression on his face and shook it a few times. "Old friend, I'm so sorry for being so negligent. I went to the vault for a walk just now, and I didn't expect you to come. Are you here?"

Which hotel should I stay at? Let's move to the presidential suite reserved for me at the Hilton Hotel.

Seeing Gao Xian's enthusiasm, Benjamin beamed and waved his hands to refuse. Thank you Sir Gao for your kindness. No need to bother. I have to keep a low profile when I come to Xiangjiang this time. You know...

Gao Xian nodded suddenly, "I understand, I understand, then I will arrange a most private club where we can chat while eating. Counting, we haven't seen each other for a while. I always remember you when I was in Luzon."

And the care of the first lady.

Benjamin happily agreed, which was of course the best. To be honest with Sir Gao, I also have something to do when I come to Xiangjiang this time, and I want to ask Sir Gao to take care of me.
