孔祥熙

孔祥熙 appears in EP23 民国金融往事：《追风者》背后的天才少年与银行体系 through the drama’s construction-bond plot. The episode identifies him as the finance-ministry figure whose family and office relationship with 宋爱玲 helps explain why state debt, official messaging, and private profit could be fused in Treasury Bond Speculation.

Within the source, Kong represents the fiscal side of political finance: the government needs funds, the central bank can organize issuance, and elite actors can profit if they control the timing and credibility of information.
