Chapter 72: I'll Carry This Handle
Durad and Gu Kun chatted all afternoon, and talked about some details of how to ensure that the two sides fulfilled the contract and shared the spoils.
Because the process is really too insidious, it is easy to improve the IQ of the people who eat melons if you write too much, so I won't go into details.
When it was time to leave, Durad threw out a question that he had been secretly concerned about, but which had not been convenient to ask before.
"Gu, now we have met openly and sincerely cooperated. I hope you will be honest, this month, you pretended to be grounded in Lanfang, did you just wait for today's situation, whetted our appetite, and then slaughtered a price. ”
Durad held a champagne glass and asked while clinking glasses with Gu Kun.
This question, no matter how Gu Kun answers, will not affect the implementation of cooperation, but may make some people have a knot in their hearts.
Gu Kun either gave a reasonable explanation, or he didn't say anything. If you have to twist and pinch to deceive people, I am afraid that the effect will only be counterproductive.
However, Durad miscalculated.
Gu Kun was very calm: "Of course I'm not hiding from you, Your Highness has grounded me, of course I can resist." But the times are tough, and I don't have time to think about that. I have been in Lanfang for a while, and I have made a lot of arrangements for the general trend of the world.
If you think that Soros will stop after making you miserable, it is too underestimated. I looked away at his ambition for the first time, and I won't look away a second time. I sincerely hope to unite ASEAN countries and work together in the same boat. ”
This explanation is very righteous and strict, but because it is too general to judge the truth or falsehood, Durard has no choice but to continue to get to the bottom of it:
"Do you think he will use such intensity to short other countries? What arrangements have you made? If there are no trade secrets involved, can you please report whether there is an exchange, we will be grateful." ”
Gu Kun: "I can guarantee that with the appearance of his eating exposed in the Thai baht transaction, he will not stop." It's not easy to gather hot spots with so much money.
After destroying the already inflated baht, he will take advantage of the panic and attack other niche currencies that are not so inflated. Lan Fangguo is weak and weak, and others can't control it, so what can be done at present is only to reduce losses on the ringgit issue. ”
Durad hurriedly asked: "Are you going to hold the ringgit?" is it impossible, it is estimated that it is better to open a position in advance and follow the trend, make money and leave?"
Durad himself was also asking, and at the same time, he figured out the plot in his mind, and couldn't help sneering.
Hehe, what else is said to help other Southeast Asian countries is actually to get a vote.
Gu Kun changed his tone to a very sincere tone: "I won't short the ringgit, I just want to protect myself and prevent myself from suffering losses - you should know that Lan Fang is too small, and he doesn't even have his own central (harmonious) bank and currency." The fiat currency we have in circulation can be used in both the ringgit and the renminbi.
This time, I don't think the ringgit can hold up to its size. Although Malay's per capita income and per capita GDP are nearly twice as high as Thailand's, Malay's population is less than half of Thailand's, and Malay's economy is slightly smaller than Thailand's. Since the Thai baht can't do Soros, the ringgit can't do it either.
I stayed in Lan this month to assist His Highness in doing a great thing, and we gradually secretly called on the rich people in China to replace their deposit and securities assets with RMB denominated as much as possible, so as not to be damaged in the upcoming attack of Soros.
This work is very complicated, so I have to personally sit in the Lan Fang for more than a month, secretly promote, and fully use my prestige among the people. Now it seems that not everyone is willing to believe me, but those who really don't believe in it have to let them bear the loss. ”
"Really?" Durad was incredulous at first, and then relieved, "Alas, a small country is convenient, and there are few management levels, and this kind of big thing can be unanimous in the whole country." ”
Whether Gu Kun did this or not, a little investigation afterwards will know, and Durad believes that Gu Kun will not tell such a senseless lie.
He just felt that Gu Kun's judgment was a bit anticlimactic.
After pondering for a few seconds, Durad sighed and criticized: "If your vision is accurate, then I can only say that you have seen the first half, but you have broken a good hand." If you are destined to know that the ringgit can't be kept, you should directly exchange it for dollars, which is called absolute risk aversion.
As a result, you just changed the renminbi, so what's the use? I think you are just doing business with Chinese, Japanese, and Korean tourists, and you are blindly overestimating China's strength and international credibility. If the ringgit and the baht will be destroyed, the renminbi will also be destroyed, don't think that there are 1.3 billion people in China, how poor they are!"
Of course, future generations will find this idea ridiculous, but in 97, it definitely represented the attitude of those quasi-developed countries in Southeast Asia at that time, or developing countries with a higher degree of development.
At that time, even Thailand and the Philippines felt that Huaxia was very poor and had little strength.
Gu Kun didn't want to correct the other party's thoughts, if the international community really wanted to think so, he would be happy to see it.
Because of this, when Lan Fang falls to Huaxia in the future, it will be more logical: in times of crisis, we are sick and go to the doctor, and there is no way out, so we can only move closer to Huaxia to protect ourselves.
If Oceania doesn't accept this result, ask why you don't care about your own dog Soros and let it come out and bite people and attract hatred.
Oh no, how can you say that Wall Street is the dog of the Oceania, it should be said that the Oceania is the dog of Wall Street.
......
After the meeting with Gu Kun, Durard took his leave and left.
However, he did not return to China immediately, but spent another day in Lan Fang to make a secret visit to verify what Gu Kun said.
After some confirmation, he saw with his own eyes a "Construction Bank" exchange point that had just been opened for less than two weeks, yes, it was the Construction Bank over there, and he also saw hundreds of Lan civilians exchanging money there.
CCB does not directly collect ringgit and save it, because it is estimated that the ringgit may depreciate, and if it directly deposits ringgit, CCB will also have to worry about losing money in the future.
Therefore, it is still necessary to use the US dollar as an intermediary currency to exchange.
However, CCB's exchange points are convenient for the people after all. After sending out the renminbi and getting the ringgit, CCB will send an escort ship to the Malay Bank in Kuching every day at the end of the day to exchange the received ringgit into US dollars through the official foreign exchange channel.
This saves civilians the trouble of applying for dollar quotas individually. What's more, not everyone in Lanfang can afford to drive a boat to neighboring countries, and after CCB sets up a location, it can greatly increase the popularity rate of civilians exchanging money.
Durad observed for a while, asked the assistant to prepare a few tips, and then pulled a few Lan Fang people who were queuing up and secretly visited.
The first thing he asked was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, who looked quite decent in a suit, he should be regarded as the middle class of Lan Fang, maybe a large and medium-sized fishing boat owner.
"Sir, are you going to convert all your deposits into RMB?
The other party glanced at it vigilantly, originally prepared not to expose his wealth, but later saw that Dall hinted that he was a foreign bigwig, just to secretly visit the people, and that person confided softly in the mentality of making more friends:
"My savings are all ringgit, because there were no bank outlets in Huaxia in Lanfang, and now I am ready to convert all RM300,000 into 700,000 RMB. Originally, there was some cash at home, and if you had cash, you would have both RMB and ringgit, so let's change it a little. ”
Durad nodded secretly and interviewed a few more people, and the composition was similar.
Although the original Lanzhou side was in the same league as the ringgit and the renminbi, the renminbi was mainly reflected in the cash link, and the deposits were very small.
The reason is that there is no bank in China to spend money/branches, there are only Malay Bank outlets, and people have nowhere to deposit RMB if they want to, but now they can finally save it.
"Gu Kun, does this really believe that the renminbi will not depreciate? If this is the case, after this battle, I am afraid that the Lan side will completely become a country with the renminbi as the only local currency. Those financial dogs in Oceania really don't have a sense of the overall situation, in order to make money, they undermine the overall diplomatic situation of the country. Durad secretly sighed, and a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.
The next day, he flew back to Thailand.
......
After Durard left, Zhu Youdong summoned Gu Kun as soon as possible and interrogated the results of the meeting in detail.
"The Thais agreed to our terms, they will help us create a positive image, and they will try to put us at the forefront of public opinion against Wall Street. ”
Gu Kun reported.
After listening to this, Zhu Youdong was silent for a while.
"I trust your judgment, so I've been letting you do it. However, now that I think about it, is the attitude of the neighboring countries really so important? Isn't it, or is it better to have a little more conscience?"
Zhu Youdong has been a little greedy in the past year, which is human nature. Because I have been with Gu Kun for a long time, the money is too easy to come by, and it is easy to float.
This kind of thinking is actually dangerous.
Gu Kun hurriedly admonished: "How can Your Highness think like this, I have a deep intention to shape Lan Fang into the standard-bearer who leads the financial struggle.
Have you forgotten, we have a civil aviation radar station on our side, a gaming ship, and the possibility of other technical cooperation, but before, we have always relied on Zhu Jingye's idiot to provide intelligence to a certain IA, plus our own innocence, so that we did not attract the hostility and sabotage of the Oceanic countries.
I have always told you that we have to wait for an opportunity, for an opportunity to break with the Oceanic countries in a clear way, and we have to let the Oceanic countries throw a mouse-trap on us and dare not retaliate. Now, becoming the standard-bearer of Southeast Asia's fight against financial speculators is such an opportunity!
If it is up to us to arouse the hostility of the whole of Southeast Asia against Brittany and the Oceanic countries, and we ourselves will be the warriors who raise our arms. In this way, even from a military point of view, Li Jiapo's F15 fighter can easily launch a decapitation operation, they will not dare, or they will not be able to do it.
They know that once I am killed for "exposing the plundering of Southeast Asia by the forces of Wall Street in the Oceanic State, and turning to the East because of their hatred of Wall Street", it will definitely intensify the hatred of the five or six billion people in Southeast Asia against the West. Which is more important, they will figure it out.
A certain secretary of state in Oceania is not a fool, a certain IA seems to be beautiful, but in fact it is just a dog controlled by a certain secretary of state, no matter how fierce the dog is, it cannot decide who to bite against the will of the owner. From now on, as long as the resentment of Southeast Asian countries against Wall Street has not subsided, we who carry the flag will be safe.
And by the time these resentments subside, I believe that the global yellow race is strong enough to protect us, at least in Southeast Asia, to cover us. ”
Of course, if the Lan side has the size and interests of Iraq, then it is estimated that even if killing Gu Kun will make five or six billion people hate Oceanic countries, Ao Moubu Moute will still make a move.
But how big is Lan Fangcai? How many resources and how many benefits? Is it worth it to arouse so many people's anti-ocean sentiment for such a small thing?
Everything is just a sale, a profit and cost accounting.
