Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1023 Three Major Chain Issues

This manor villa is very big, especially the hall, which covers a large area. However, don’t think that because the hall is large, other places will be small. For example, there are many rooms. After gathering with everyone for a while, the No. 1 leader left the hall and no one knew where he went.

But soon, Lu Shaohua knew where they were going, because Lu Shaohua was about to rush to meet the No. 1 leader, and with the No. 1 leader's secretary leading the way, Lu Shaohua naturally knew where the No. 1 leader was.

However, when Lu Shaohua followed the secretary of Chief No. 1 to the side hall, he found that there was not only Chief No. 1, but also nine members of the Standing Committee, all of whom were there, and the seats were arranged in a very particular way, from big to small, making it look like they were having a meeting.

This was indeed the case. The nine of them were preparing for a meeting. However, this meeting was not held by nine people, but by ten people, including Lu Shaohua. Now that Lu Shaohua was present, the meeting would naturally begin.

However, there was a problem that made Lu Shaohua very embarrassed. The reason was that Lu Shaohua didn't know where to sit. There were two seats below the No. 1 leader, but Lu Shaohua didn't dare to sit there. After all, sitting in that position meant that his status was higher than that of other members of the Standing Committee.

Fortunately, the No. 1 leader seemed to understand Lu Shaohua's embarrassment and pointed to the seat opposite him, which was a separate seat at the bottom, opposite to where the No. 1 leader was sitting, and motioned Lu Shaohua to sit there.

This position is undoubtedly very suitable for Lu Shaohua. The reason is very simple. It is below the nine standing committee members. At the same time, it is a separate position, which fully demonstrates that Lu Shaohua has a high status and respects the other eight people.

Of course, the seating arrangement was just a minor episode. Lu Shaohua forgot about it after a slight embarrassment. What he was thinking about now was why the No. 1 leader made it so formal?

You have to know that when the nine members of the Standing Committee gather together, there are usually very important matters, otherwise it is impossible for the nine members of the Standing Committee to gather together. In addition, today is a top-level gathering in itself, but suddenly something like this happens, which is a bit abnormal.

Soon, the mystery that had been bothering Lu Shaohua was solved, and the No. 1 leader spoke.

"Comrades, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has already affected the world and is still expanding. Many banks in the United States have collapsed. If this continues, banks will not be able to lend to industrial enterprises, and there is a high probability that a financial storm will form." At this point, the No. 1 leader paused and continued. "But then again, we are not experts in this area. This needs our land general to talk about it, hehe..."

The No. 1 leader clearly put Lu Shaohua on the stage and called Lu Shaohua General Lu. He even laughed at the end. It was obvious that there was a lot of humor in his words. Combined with the previous serious topic, the atmosphere changed all of a sudden.

Undoubtedly, the topic of financial crisis is heavy. When facing such a topic, national leaders always treat it with a heavy attitude. However, adding a joke at the end can effectively divert attention and adjust the atmosphere.

Lu Shaohua also knew the intention of the No. 1 leader, and ignored the jokes about his military rank. He nodded to everyone and said, "Everyone, according to the observation of the financial team under my company, the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis has formed a financial storm, but it has not yet erupted."

Lu Shaohua is a reborn person. Of course he knows when the financial crisis will break out. It will not break out until the end of next year, and there is still more than a year left. However, Lu Shaohua dare not say that the financial crisis has not yet formed. The reason is that the financial crisis has already formed, but it has not yet broken out completely.

"Well, how should I put it? Needless to say, the United States' position in the world is very important. It is the yoke of the global economy. Once there is a problem in the United States, the whole world will be involved." Lu Shaohua did not forget to add one more sentence at the end.

Lu Shaohua's last sentence is also the most important one. He brought up the United States and explained its importance in the global economy. Lu Shaohua believed that with everyone's wisdom, it would not be difficult to find that if the United States is in trouble, the whole world will be in trouble as well.

As expected, after Lu Shaohua finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought, including the No. 1 leader, who also fell into deep thought.

Leader No. 1 had heard Lu Shaohua say this a long time ago. He had also thought about it and summoned domestic economic experts to analyze it. The final result was that there would be a financial storm sweeping the world.

But even though he had already gotten the answer, at this time, Leader No. 1 couldn't help but think about it again and sort out his thoughts.

After a long time, Leader No. 1 finally recovered, and so did the other eight people. They all recovered one by one and looked at Lu Shaohua. The meaning was obvious: they wanted to see if Lu Shaohua had any good ideas.

However, Lu Shaohua refused to speak. It was not that Lu Shaohua did not want to speak, but it was inconvenient for Lu Shaohua to say more in this situation. Think about it, this is a meeting with all nine members of the Standing Committee present. If Lu Shaohua speaks at this time, it will undoubtedly determine the country's economic direction. If he is not careful, it may cause a big mess.

The economic direction of a country is not something Lu Shaohua can talk about casually. Even if Lu Shaohua knows roughly how to deal with it and minimize the losses, at this time, Lu Shaohua still doesn't want to speak.

But the No. 1 leader didn't let Lu Shaohua get what he wanted. Seeing that Lu Shaohua had fallen silent, he couldn't help but speak up. "You are the only expert here. Tell me what you think! Well, don't be shy."

Well, the retreat has been blocked by the No. 1 leader, so even if Lu Shaohua doesn’t want to speak up, he can’t do anything.

Lu Shaohua had no choice but to speak. "There are three areas that are most seriously affected, one of which is exports. The financial crisis has broken out and swept the world, and we are a major exporting country, so our exports will definitely be hindered."

After a pause, Lu Shaohua continued, "The second reason is also very simple. With exports blocked, our export-dependent enterprises are bound to face a heavy blow, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. The persecution will definitely be great. I believe that when the financial storm comes, many of those small and medium-sized enterprises will go bankrupt."

It's not that Lu Shaohua believes it, but it's a fact. During the financial crisis in 2008, too many small and medium-sized enterprises in China went bankrupt. Many large enterprises were also persecuted and went bankrupt.

"The unemployment rate is definitely an issue that deserves concern. If a large number of companies go bankrupt, the number of unemployed people will inevitably increase. If new jobs cannot be created, that will also be a headache." Lu Shaohua said in a serious tone.

Yes, with the financial crisis, unemployment has become a long-standing problem. Whether in China or elsewhere, there are just too many unemployed people.

In fact, Lu Shaohua is very contradictory, especially when talking about the unemployed population, Lu Shaohua is even more contradictory. I still remember that Lu Shaohua had just carried out a large-scale layoff some time ago, and the number of layoffs was huge.

But at this moment, when Lu Shaohua was facing the nine standing committee members, he talked about the unemployed population. Wasn't the large-scale layoffs of Phoenix Group some time ago creating unemployment? Now, Lu Shaohua has raised this issue. Isn't this a contradiction?

Fortunately, the nine standing committee members were destined not to link Lu Shaohua's words with Phoenix Group, so they did not propose layoffs in Phoenix Group. On the contrary, the nine standing committee members were eager to solve this problem. The number one leader even sent a questioning look to Lu Shaohua to see if Lu Shaohua had any good solution.

Lu Shaohua gave up helplessly, and it was obvious that he had no other solution.

In fact, Lu Shaohua really didn't have any good ideas. Well, even if he had any good ideas, he wouldn't tell them out. After all, this was related to the crisis of a country, and Lu Shaohua didn't dare to be careless.

Seeing this, Chief No. 1 was very helpless, but he didn't say anything. He could only smile bitterly and let Lu Shaohua go.

Seeing that his task had been completed, Lu Shaohua did not say much and stood up and left the side hall, leaving the problem to the nine Standing Committee members to worry about.

Back in the hall, the atmosphere remained the same. People formed small groups of two or three and chatted with each other. Lu Shaohua did not stay either. He found Zeng Jianguo and others, melted into the small group of the older generation, and started chatting and laughing.

"Xiaohua, I heard that you have a lot of advanced technologies in your hands?" Li Changsheng asked with a smile.

Li Changsheng undoubtedly knew Lu Shaohua very well, if for no other reason, it was because Lu Shaohua started in Shenzhen, and he, Li Changsheng, was the commander of the Guangzhou Military Region at the time. He had paid attention to Lu Shaohua, so he knew Lu Shaohua relatively well.

Lu Shaohua did not answer, did not shake his head or nod, and did not say anything. He just smiled mysteriously, and that expression made people a little confused.

Lu Shaohua really didn't know how to answer questions like this. Of course, there was also the factor that Lu Shaohua didn't want to answer. After all, no matter how Lu Shaohua answered, it would lead to a series of problems, so it was better not to answer.

Actually, Li Changsheng wanted Lu Shaohua to reveal some of his secrets, and then continue digging deeper, preferably until all of Lu Shaohua's secrets were uncovered, and then add the country's great cause to the mix, so that Lu Shaohua could bring out his advanced technology.

It can be said that although Li Changsheng has retired, he was a former senior military official after all, and sometimes he often thought about the country. Look, his intentions are very clear now. Just because Lu Shaohua did not answer, Li Changsheng felt embarrassed and helpless.

Facts have proved that it was right for Lu Shaohua not to answer. In the following conversation, Li Changsheng tried to steer the topic to advanced technology intentionally or unintentionally, but Lu Shaohua resolved them one by one. In the end, he could only shake his head and sigh.

The party ended quickly, and Lu Shaohua did not stay. He followed Zeng Jianguo and returned to his residence, then hurriedly left Beijing.
