Chapter 76: Wedding Feast (1)

Zhao Guodong looked at Ouyang Jinhua and Guo Yao with a happy face from afar. He was a talented man and a beautiful woman. He walked into the wedding banquet hall step by step. The people surrounded him all sent blessings, ribbons, flowers, and people's kindness to cheer, which made the entire wedding banquet atmosphere reach a small climax.

Ouyang Jinhua and Guo Yao finally got married, and Zhao Guodong, as the main marriage partner, naturally could not escape. Zhao Guodong would certainly not be stingy with introducing and blessings with the best words to his personal secretary. Of course, his identity is enough to illustrate many problems.

Since Ouyang Jinhua started serving as his secretary when Zhao Guodong was the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Zhao Guodong's communication was quite broad, he also took great pains to send invitations. It was a very troublesome thing for anyone to invite and who should not invite him, and Ouyang Jinhua was also very worried about this.

Some customers will come by themselves even if you don’t invite them, such as Zhou Xin and Zhou Da’s brothers, such as the bosses of several major energy companies.

When the guests come, you can't turn them out. You have to apologize enthusiastically, saying that you don't want to bother, so you wait. In fact, everyone knows it, so you just can't tell me.

According to Ouyang Jinhua and Guo Yao's vision, after all, friends in the main work and life circles are still in Beijing, so they mainly hold banquets in Beijing. When they come to Anyuan, they will return to Andu and hold a very small ceremony after the end, and the scope is also limited to a very small circle. This is an explanation.

Therefore, except for Zhao Guodong and Ouyang Jinhua's direct bosses Tang Shaocheng and Zeng Lingchun, the only guests in Anyuan were Zhang Hongwei, who was also from the Development and Reform Commission, and no one else in the province came to participate.

Influenced by Ouyang Jinhua, Guo Yao also had a deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to attend. This was probably because many of the guests from the man had quite identities, such as Zhao Guodong and Fu Quan. Zeng Quanjun himself had not arrived, but he asked his secretary to come. He is now the Secretary-General of the State Council, and his identity is unusual, so he naturally pays attention to this consideration.

In addition to Fu Quan, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, there are also Lei Xiangdong, the president of China Investment Group, Dong Mingtang, deputy director of the Ministry of Energy, Ji Tai, deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and Zhang Hongwei. Zhao Guodong and Zhang Hongwei all brought their families with their families, while the others came alone. The bosses of several major companies under the Ministry of Energy were all concentrated at the next table.

Because Lei Xiangdong had a lot of contact with Zhao Guodong when he was in Beijing, he was familiar with Ouyang Jinhua. Ouyang Jinhua's cautious and low-key attitude was also appreciated by Lei Xiangdong. Therefore, when he learned that Ouyang Jinhua was going to get married, he was also a special congratulation. When Ouyang Jinhua congratulated such a boss, he had no choice but to send an invitation.

Liu Ruotong's health is already very inconvenient, but she and Guo Yao have a good relationship, so she also came to attend this kind of banquet with a big belly, which has attracted many friends who are not very familiar with Zhao Guodong and are not familiar with his family.

The witness is Ji Tai. As the representative of the female unit, Ji Tai is also a very talkative and funny person. His humorous words add a bit of joy to the wedding banquet.

"Director Ji, okay, after your words, you have become Guo Yao from Ouyang Jinhua to your SASAC. All I brag about for Ouyang Jinhua before has become a stepping stone." Zhao Guodong smiled and joked about Ji Tai who had just come down from the stage.

He is not familiar with Ji Tai, but he also knows that Liu Yan is no longer in the SASAC, but serves as a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and director of the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, secretary of the Party Committee and general manager of the State Tobacco Corporation. This seems to be a flat transfer in name, but Zhao Guodong thinks it is a bit marginalized. Liu Yan’s reaction in the SASAC is not very good, which may be related to some of his style, but Liu Yan is also smart. Although he doesn’t pay much attention to some details, he is not out of the ordinary matter of principle, so he went to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for this round of adjustments.

"Haha, Governor Zhao, this cannot be said. Guo Yao is indeed a flower in our committee. Ouyang Jinhua is not cow dung, but I think everyone can see it just by comparison from the image, right?" Ji Tai's poem is quite sharp, and the smile on the corner of his mouth is even more casual. "Of course, a handsome man is in line with our traditional Chinese concept of marriage, right?"

Zhao Guodong smiled and shook his head, "Director Ji, you have said everything."

"Old Ji, you are a thorny person in the SASAC. No wonder your famous quotes are frequently circulated in the online media." Everyone on the table laughed, and Fu Quan shook his head repeatedly. Obviously, he has a good impression of the deputy director of the SASAC, but he has a bit of ridiculous sarcasm for the famous quotes of other leaders of the SASAC on the Internet.

Recently, there has been a rumor about online media that the leaders of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission said that state-owned enterprises entered the real estate market to better serve the people and make the real estate market more healthy to develop, which has caused heated discussions on the Internet, becoming the most shocking remark in 2008. Fu Quan's words obviously have a joking smell.

The central government has clearly required that central enterprises should not enter the capital-intensive real estate industry to avoid promoting the real estate market that already needs to cool down. However, some central enterprises still turn a blind eye and enter the market with strong funds. One piece of land king comes from behind, and most of them are not central enterprises specializing in real estate development, but most of them are subsidiaries of those central enterprises.

Ji Tai's face was also a little embarrassed by Fu Quan's words. He naturally heard about the shocking words of the leaders in the commission. However, they each stood from different angles and considered different issues. When the central enterprises under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission were unable to achieve significant performance growth in their main businesses, they were jealous of the booming real estate industry and abundant profits, so they naturally wanted to use their capital advantages to get a piece of the pie. This is understandable.

In his opinion, this is not a question of whether central enterprises are involved in the real estate industry, but rather that your country's real estate industry policies and financial system are not sound, and there is no system to fully guarantee the housing needs of middle and low-income classes, nor is there a channel for private capital to obtain reasonable investment returns. With inflationary pressure, how can you blame companies and so-called speculators?

Seeing that Ji Tai just smiled but stopped talking, Fu Quan didn't care about himself and stopped talking. Instead, Lei Xiangdong and Ji Tai were familiar with each other and interrupted to get the topic away.

"Mr. Lei, I think you, the boss of Guotou, are very cautious after taking office. Didn't it be rumored in the early stage that you were interested in investing in Heishi and Morgan Stanley? Why did you end up in vain? What are your thoughts now?" Zhao Guodong smiled and joked with Lei Xiangdong.

This is also a question that many people are concerned about. Guotou seems to have carried the huge expectations of the Chinese people since its establishment. Central Huijin Company has also been incorporated into Guotou. Guotou has become the number one signboard representing national sovereign investment, and has also attracted the covetousness of many people at home and abroad. Blackstone and Morgan Stanley have attracted the attention of Guotou and have once faced the final stage of investing. However, Lei Xiangdong, who has just served as president, finally rejected the opinion of Blackstone and Morgan Stanley, which has also caused great controversy. However, judging from the current turbulent performance of the US financial market, it is undoubtedly quite wise to reject the opinion of Blackstone and Morgan Stanley, which has greatly improved Lei Xiangdong's prestige and influence within Guotou.

"There are many ideas, but it is difficult to put it into practice." Lei Xiangdong glanced at Zhao Guodong.

In fact, the rejection of the investment in Blackstone and Morgan Stanley Zhao Guodong also gave Lei Xiangdong a lot of suggestions, suggesting that he take a look and wait a moment, and not rush to invest. As a result, the US sub-debt storm continued to grow like a snowball, the financial market fell into turmoil, and the stock prices of Blackstone and Morgan Stanley plummeted, and Guotou escaped this disaster.

However, the establishment of Guotou is to use too abundant foreign exchange reserves and the current account surplus to invest in foreign exchange reserves to avoid the losses caused by the increasingly weak US dollar decline, so it is inevitable that Guotou will take action.

"What is not difficult? It seems that Guotou has invested more than one billion dollars in a gold mine in South Africa and a large infrastructure construction company in Brazil. How did it change its original intention and turn to emerging market countries?"

Zhao Guodong knew that after sniffing the increasingly severe turbulent storm in the European and American financial markets, Lei Xiangdong began to turn his attention to emerging market countries with relatively stable political situations, such as South Africa and Brazil, and Kazakhstan and Turkey. However, his steps were not big. A small step was probably a strategy determined by Lei Xiangdong. It can diversify investment, reduce risks, and facilitate timely adjustment of direction.

"It's very simple, avoid risks and seek profits, anyone will do this." Lei Xiangdong smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Why, what are the opinions of Governor Zhao?"

"Well, I think ASEAN countries also have investment potential, such as Indonesia and Vietnam, Australia and China's economy are tied together. If you have confidence in the Chinese economy, then Australia is also a good place to invest. There is also Myanmar, which is a virgin land to be developed. I think no matter who is in power, we will welcome the entry of our Chinese capital." Zhao Guodong smiled and said, "Of course, if according to my point of view, the one that does not have any risks and can ensure stable and high returns is to buy gold, especially the proportion of our central bank's gold reserves is too low, far lower than that of major economies in the world. With the instability of the financial market, it will continue to intensify in the next two or three years. At this time, a stable purchase of gold will not only help enhance the credibility of our RMB becoming an international currency in the future, but also avoid the sharp depreciation of the US dollar and the risks of US debt."
