Chapter 500

Livingstone was very depressed when he heard long Jianhua's response to Tai Chi.

Originally, I thought that the other party was only a 21-year-old young man. After taking some strategies, he would lose his sense of propriety; I didn't expect that all the tricks were dissolved, and I couldn't find a place to talk.

He touched his chin. "Mr. long, frankly, I want to hear your plans for the future of this bank."

Long Jianhua said with a smile, "we spent a lot of money to buy it, naturally in order to maintain and increase value. In terms of future plans, we have had in-depth exchanges when talking about purchase intentions. "

"Mr. Ken Livingstone, on behalf of Chongshi group, I would like to invite you to visit our enterprise and see the vitality of our enterprise. I believe you will have a new understanding of our group after reading it. "

Livingstone nodded. "OK, I'll see it when it's convenient."

"When it's convenient" means he didn't say it, but he just mentioned it by the way.

Whether he goes or not, the rebirth has developed so well; In another three or five years, this incidentally will not be mentioned.

Long Jianhua smiled. "Mr. Ken Livingstone, we are promoting the Internet in Hong Kong Island. I don't know if the city of Greater London has any plans in this regard."

Livingstone turned to his assistant, whose eyes flickered a few times.

At this time, this thing has not yet entered the public eye. It is only tried in some universities and scientific research institutions. It is normal to don't know.

Since he didn't ask, he didn't add.

However, a veteran is a veteran. He immediately said with a smile, "Mr. long, maybe you don't know. After graduating from middle school, I worked as an experimenter in a Cancer Institute for eight years, responsible for animal experiments, and then I was admitted to the normal college."

"In my opinion, any product or technology must undergo rigorous tests before it is introduced to the market; As a public resource manager, we should be particularly cautious in these new products and technologies, because we use public resources. A little carelessness will waste taxpayers' money. "

A politician is a politician. What he says is watertight and makes others think he knows what the Internet is.

So long Jianhua can only nod yes.

However, he immediately thought that this was just for nothing, because the city of Greater London was basically an empty shelf and an optional role.

Otherwise, the iron lady was dissatisfied that he hung the unemployment data in the Labor Party headquarters building and dissolved the Greater London City Council in 1986. This place still works.

Then he turned the conversation back and said, "if the Internet can really promote social progress, we in Greater London will respond positively and take the lead in using it."

Long Jianhua just listened to this.

He immediately asked, "Mr. long, are you a management scientist, an entrepreneur or a financier? What do you think of EU monetary integration?"

Long Jianhua said with a smile, "don't talk about financiers. Mr. Louis and everyone at standard bank are."

"For monetary integration, I have known Mr. Mundell's theory of 'optimal currency area', but I have not studied it in depth."

"However, I think if integration can be achieved, it is a good thing, and the best thing is unification; If it can be done, it will give great convenience to the general public. If a currency travels all over the EU, the prices of all countries will be basically the same. "

But can this be achieved?

Money, like an army, represents the sovereignty of a country.

The country is rich and poor, the desire to buy is strong and weak, and the brothers are also small; It takes a long process to succeed.

The European Union signed the Treaty of Rome in 1957, put forward the idea of establishing a European Monetary Union in March 1969, and the European Economic and monetary union plan in December of the same year;

By March 1971, the adoption of the Werner plan meant the first step in the construction of a European single currency.

But then there was a crisis and financial storm, which devastated it and had to run aground.

After the storm, on December 15, 1995, the Madrid summit decided to name the European single currency the euro. Since then, it has stumbled forward.

Long Jianhua has great doubts about how long the euro can survive.

Brothers are strong and weak, countries are rich and poor.

The poor and the weak always want to take advantage, and the strong and the rich will always be dissatisfied; Unless the poor merge into the rich in the future, they will either be expelled or go away on their own initiative

After chatting for nearly an hour, Livingstone left.

Long Jianhua recalled the content of today's conversation and felt that what he cared most was whether the standard headquarters would continue to stay in Greater London. After all, this is also one of the largest banks in Eagle country.

When giving a meeting to the middle and senior management of standard bank, he first listened to the summary of the work of the current president miris and the first vice president karnoff last year and the first half of this year, as well as the plan for the second half of this year and the plan for next year.

Subsequently, Louis put forward some of his ideas, which were discussed with long Jianhua earlier - expansion, and defined some blocks.

It was long Jianhua's turn to hear, "originally, this meeting should be held after I carefully read the relevant materials, but because of some delay, I can only talk about some first according to the speeches of the three. When I'm finished, I'll look at the relevant information. "

"Generally speaking, the operation of standard bank is still very good. I am satisfied with your previous work and thank you for your efforts."

"Now, the world economy has reached the bottom and is recovering. This is an opportunity for us to grow rapidly. "

"Every time the economy develops rapidly, it is due to the emergence of new technologies. This time, it is computer technology and network technology."

"Since the establishment of ARPANET in 1969, computer and network technology have been developing slowly, and now it has entered a stage of rapid development."

A middle-level raised his hand, and long Jianhua motioned him to speak, "Mr. chairman, will the computer and network technology you said really carry an economic revitalization as you said?"

Long Jianhua nodded, "it will only be more powerful than you think."

"I'll talk about some uses, which are also being studied by our Chongshi Research Institute and many research institutions, and some can be implemented. By November, our relevant statements can be processed by computer to reduce everyone's workload. "

"We are working on a software that can have real-time conversations. Of course, this needs to enter the same network. Xiangdao is expected to start building such a network in October. "

"With computers and networks, our managers can access the data they want to see and can see within their authority, rather than looking in a pile of paper reports. You can turn on the computer whenever you want to see it. "

This description made everyone in the conference room stare at him.

Can you do this?

Never heard of
