Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 305 Who wins and who loses?

   Entering the car, Yang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Laura who was holding his hand, still not letting go.

  Yang Chen shook his head, he didn't even count the death, the people sent by Standard Chartered Bank turned out to be his fans.

   I am afraid that even the president of Standard Chartered Bank in Paris did not think of it.

  The reason why Yang Chen only brought Junzi and Tietou by his side this time was because he didn't want to attract too many people's attention. Once someone found out that he was in Paris, it would be difficult for him to hide in a corner and steal food.

   Yang Chen smiled bitterly at the French beauty beside him: "Miss Laura, you're not what a Standard Chartered Bank employee should look like."

   Hearing Yang Chen's reminder, Laura finally came over, quickly let go of her hand, and apologized, "Sorry, Chen, I'm a little excited to see you."

   Yang Chen glanced at Wu Yaoxin in the driver's seat in front of him, and asked Laura, "Miss Laura, how did you recognize me?"

   In other words, when Westerners look at Easterners, isn’t there so-called face blindness?

   He wanted to know how the other party recognized him on this night.

   Laura stuck out her tongue and replied honestly, "I heard it from the sound."

   "Voice?" Yang Chen heard it, blinked his eyes, and obviously didn't believe it.

   Laura didn't explain this either, she just leaned over and reached out to press the audio button in the front row of the car.

   Seeing this, Yang Chen frowned, already guessing the answer.

   Sure enough, a familiar melody sounded in the car, and it was one of his two English songs, "Faded".

   looked at Laura who returned to her seat and stared straight at her.

   Yang Chen suddenly felt that his head was getting bigger.

   "Brother Xin, let's drive." Yang Chen greeted Wu Yaoxin in the front row depressedly.

   "Okay, Boss" Wu Yaoxin shrank his neck, quickly turned down the sound of the stereo, and then took Yang Chen to the hotel that Standard Chartered Bank arranged for Yang Chen.

   In other hotels, Yang Chen naturally needs to register his identity information, but the hotel arranged for him by Standard Chartered Bank does not need this.

   As a bank, although Standard Chartered Bank is not strong in Europe, it depends on who it meets.

  As an established bank, it also holds the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes, so the background of Standard Chartered Bank is still there.

  Yang Chen needs Standard Chartered Bank to keep his itinerary secret. If Standard Chartered Bank can't fulfill this small request, then don't mess around.

  …

   The next morning

  In the presidential suite of the hotel, Yang Chen was reading the French morning paper while eating the breakfast brought by Wu Yaoxin.

  dong dong—

"Come in"

  Laura, who opened the door and came in, saw that Yang Chen was having breakfast, she moved her hand, and said embarrassedly, "Chen, you are already having breakfast."

   Before going to bed last night, she adjusted the clock on purpose, so that she would wake up earlier so that she could accompany Yang Chen for breakfast.

   But I didn't want to, and finally it was too late.

   Looking at Laura in uniform, standing there, Yang Chen wiped his mouth and greeted, "Miss Laura, come and sit down."

   As for the French beauty in front of him, after Yang Chen was depressed yesterday, he was relieved.

   At any time, beauty is privileged anywhere, not to mention that the other party is a rare beauty, and the other party is still his own fan.

   It is absolutely false to say that he is worshipped by such a beautiful woman without any sense of vanity or satisfaction in his heart.

   "Fortunately you are here. I was just thinking about ordering another breakfast."

   Hearing what Yang Chen said, Laura finally showed a smile on her face again, and hurriedly took out the breakfast she prepared.

   When she was putting things, Laura saw the newspaper on the table, blinked her eyes, looked at Yang Chen curiously and asked, "Chen, who do you think will win this election?"

   I learned from my boss that Yang Chen's purpose in coming to France this time is, to a large extent, directly related to this election in France.

   It's just that she still doesn't know who Yang Chen wants to win and who will lose.

   Yang Chen asked back: "Who do you think will win in the end between the two of them?"

  Politics and economics have always been inseparable products, and they affect each other.

  Many people think that politics and economy have nothing to do, they always think that politics is politics and economy is economy.

   is always out of the economy and talk about politics, or out of politics and talk about the economy.

   This time, the French presidential election had nothing to do with the economy, but it was because of an elector's political views that directly affected the next trend of the stock market.

  From this point alone, it is not difficult to see the impact of politics on the economy.

  Laura thought for a moment and said, "I hope President Destin wins the election, but my vote will go to Mr. Mitterrand in the end."

   "Uh" Yang Chen puzzled: "Why is this?"

   He was really curious, since the other party wanted the incumbent president to win the election, why did he vote for the other party's enemy.

Is not this contradictory?

  Laura picked up a sandwich and took a light bite.

   "As a Frenchman, I am well aware of the situation my country is facing at this time, with the economy stagnant and the impact of inflation, unemployment is getting worse."

   "Under this circumstance, the people at the bottom desperately hope that the social environment can be improved."

   "However, the previous Mr. President regrets that he did not do this, and the domestic economy has not improved very well."

   "As for Mr. Mitterrand, his political ideas are very bold, and in the eyes of the people at the bottom, it is not impossible to try."

   "It's already like this anyway, why not give it a try?"

   After listening to Laura's explanation, Yang Chen laughed dryly, saying that he had nothing to say.

   For the French capitalists, they naturally do not want Mitterrand to come to power, because once the other party comes to power, his political ideas will have a great impact on them.

  The word 'state-owned' is not as simple as saying it. Once it is implemented, in the face of government agencies, no matter how large a group company is, it must obey orders.

   And the capitalists and the people at the bottom, the two have always been opposites, and they are not born together.

  Since the French capitalists are afraid of Mitterrand being elected, the people at the bottom of the hierarchy will naturally vote for Mitterrand.

  Even if some people are rational, most people at the bottom are just willing to see the capitalists get unlucky and die.

   As for whether this will affect the French economy, what does it matter to the people at the bottom?

   They are already at the bottom of the society, and the current president has not changed their situation. Should they continue to endure it?

  For the French people, we are willful, even if we are willful once, our great France is still one of the strongest countries in Europe.
