Chapter 4 Commanding Heights
After all, Gu Kun is also a person with a net worth of tens of millions of dollars, and in terms of wealth, he is now the second richest man in Lan Fang, surpassing Zhu Jingye and Sa Wuyang, second only to the royal family.
In a small country like Lan Fang, everyone comes and goes freely, and the money that Gu Kun has in overseas banks, Lan Fang can't reach that far.
If Lan Fang's environment is not good, he can transfer at any time if he wants to.
Therefore, it is enough to maintain the current level of respect for the Grand Duke, and there is no need to bend everything and obey orders.
The reason why Gu Kun was reluctant to land in Lanfang was because he knew that there would be more exaggerated development potential in a few years, this signboard would still be of great use, and the existing legal system here was also the most suitable for him to expand.
After the two sides established the basis for mutual trust, Zhu Youdong continued to ask: "Now, I want to hear your real opinions on various countries. Are you really close to certain foreign countries, or do you want to take advantage of them? For other foreign countries, is there a real hatred, or is it just a conflict of interests? ”
Obviously, the translation of this question is to ask Gu Kun's true attitude towards Huaxia and the British system.
This is the basis for deepening mutual trust between the two sides in the future.
So Gu Kun decided to tell the truth.
Before he came, he had also figured out the resume of the Grand Duke, and felt that the diplomatic posture shown by the other party in public did not necessarily represent his true emotional tendencies.
Politicians are all old and yin, who can write subjective likes and dislikes on their faces, no matter how close or disgusted they are, they must be hidden.
Gu Kun didn't believe that Zhu Youdong had two sons and a daughter who died at the hands of Zhan Shibang, and he could still have no hatred for the Brittany.
Gu Kun did not hesitate to choose the most straightforward words: "Your Highness, you have two sons and a daughter, who died in the eventful autumn of August 3, and my parents also died in the autumn of August 3, I don't think I need to hide my hatred for the colonizers on this occasion of a private gathering of friends, this is just."
However, I know that the country of Lanfang is small and weak, and cannot afford to offend the Bretons. Especially in the neighboring Malay, Brunei, and Indonesia, the main economic lifeline is still in the hands of the remnants of colonial capital such as Bouhol Shell Oil. Therefore, I will bury my emotions in my heart, and I will never act rashly without the right time, let alone cause trouble to the country.
As for my closeness to Huaxia, it naturally stems from the same language and the same species, and our Lanfang country has weak primary school strength and weak education, and we don't even have a university. Our younger generation has received the same kind of Chinese higher education in the same language, and it is also appropriate for us to identify with our values in China Zhengshuo.
However, this kind of closeness should not harm the interests of the Lan side. We can benefit each other and win-win, the Lan side just wants the country to be rich and the people to be rich, and what China wants is big, so why not take what they need without causing trouble?"
For Gu Kun, the colonists have a hatred for killing their parents, and they are definitely not together.
For Zhu Youdong, it is the enmity of cutting off children and grandchildren, and it can almost be regarded as a disagreement - he only has one daughter left, and he is too old to give birth.
Hearing Gu Kun say this in person, and his eyes were very righteous and firm, Zhu Youdong also believed seven or eight points.
This is not only done by words, but also by deeds.
Zhu Youdong asked rhetorically in a summing up: "That's why you insisted on opening the aircraft carrier theme park and not allowing Chinese technicians to enter the secret cabin? Are you using this gimmick to attract Chinese tourists who are obsessed with aircraft carriers to spend money and attract relevant departments to pay for you?"
Gu Kun pretended to be embarrassed and smiled: "Don't let the relevant departments pay, the demand for overseas inspection and tourism has always existed." If you don't come to our Lan side, we will also organize a trip to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and these budgets are impossible to save.
I'm just using the money that the Chinese people would have used for luxury and long faces on us. With our small country of more than 80,000 people, even if everyone benefits from it, it will only be saturated with hundreds of thousands of tourists a year, which will not increase the inherent inspection expenditure of China at all.
And this money has been earned by Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and they are still pro-cloth and pro-Oceania while making money, let me earn it, I will be pro-China without destroying the balance of power and not provoking interference. ”
If the number of tourists received in the future reaches several million, it is likely that China will "spend more foreign exchange".
And now with this volume, Gu Kun can guarantee that for at least three or even five years, he is just "sharing the cake", not "trying to make the cake bigger", and he has a clear conscience.
A dollar of foreign exchange will not cost more.
Zhu Youdong had not carefully calculated the accounts of the tourism industry before, and he did not understand the characteristics of China's financial expenditures, so he really did not think about this situation.
In his impression, he didn't have a thorough understanding of "win-win", and thought that "if Lan Fang makes more money, Huaxia will spend more money, so that if Gu Kun doesn't give real benefits for a long time, Huaxia will be angry and force Gu Kun to take risks."
Now, Gu Kun broke it and crumpled it and calculated the detailed account for him, and Zhu Youdong was fundamentally relieved.
"Win-win, we earn more, they don't spend more, they just share the meat from the profits of the new Malaysia...... This summary is very good, Xiao Gu, you are really a talent in both civil and military affairs, I am old, if I had told me the truth earlier, why should I worry. ”
Since Huaxia has not lost, Huaxia will not put strong pressure on Gu Kun, and there is no need to worry that Gu Kun will be forced to ride a tiger by the foreign forces behind him.
"There is only a specialization in the art industry, and His Royal Highness cares about major matters, and he doesn't know much about the inside story of the industry, and it's nothing. Gu Kun gave a face.
Zhu Youdong thought for a while, and finally asked: "Then can you promise that you will never give sensitive benefits to Huaxia in the future? For example, your aircraft carrier theme park, can you never let them study it?"
When he asked this, a faint hint of fierceness flashed in Zhu Youdong's eyes.
Gu Kun knew that this question was very important, and he didn't want to talk about it directly.
If you agree too easily, you will not be sincere.
He deliberately thought for a while and said steadily: "If the time is not ripe, of course I will stick to the principle." But when the time comes, you should still act on the opportunity. ”
Zhu Youdong: "What do you mean when the time is ripe? What do you mean when you are not ripe? Is it a casual judgment?"
Gu Kun: "Of course, it's not a casual judgment, there must be a clear benchmarking basis." For example, if China's national strength is thriving in the future and the sphere of influence can be fully radiated in Nanyang, then we, the small countries in Nanyang, should of course rush to seek refuge in the first righteousness and win the reward of the first righteousness in order to establish special honors.
On the other hand, if the oceanic countries and the Brittany countries commit despicable acts that obviously harm the interests of the countries of the South Seas, and we temporarily turn to the East on the basis of retaliation, as long as the diplomatic interpretation is round, it may not be impossible to win international sympathy, make the oceanic countries and Brittany turn into a mouse, and treat us with kindness as a sign of magnanimity. ”
Zhu Youdong was said to be a little confused, because he also couldn't imagine an example to correspond to this kind of empty-to-empty retreat description.
"Can you give an example?"
Gu Kun said confidently: "For example, if the chaebols of Oceania and Burenos Air, and those mad dogs on Wall Street, are speculatively sniping and hurting the Asian economy like the Bank of Bahrain case at the beginning of the year, then it is logical for us to decouple from them angrily." ”
The Bank of Bahrain ** mentioned by Gu Kun happened exactly half a year ago in February 95, a branch of an old Brittany bank in Lijiapo, because of the sniping of the stock market miscalculation, the result was the collapse of the entire bank.
However, if they succeed in sniping? It may not be possible to cause sharp fluctuations in the stock markets of East Asia and Southeast Asia in advance.
This matter is not necessarily related to the crisis in Southeast Asia, but Gu Kun knows the history and knows about the sniping of Sogou two years later, so he will describe the possibility of this far-fetched to a financial layman like the Grand Duke, and the Grand Duke can't hear the problem.
The fuse of the Bank of Bahrain happened in Lijiapo next door, so the ** itself is clear, but the interpretation is a little worse, which gives Gu Kun the opportunity to interpret the old bottle and the new wine.
"If such a bad thing really happens, then it is not impossible to take advantage of the trend and do something more pro-China in exchange for benefits. If they do commit public outrage, the West should not be too harsh on the Lantian side. Zhu Youdong thought about it again and again, and affirmed Gu Kun's style of handling international relations in principle.
At least, he already knew that Gu Kun was not a stunned young man, and he would not make impulsive decisions like other young people.
"Of course, Your Highness. Gu Kun hurriedly added fuel and vinegar, "You have to think like this: if there are really those Wall Street mad dogs who have done bestiality that angers the entire Southeast Asian people, at this time, we have picked on the root of the situation and decoupled the economy from the West, and even announced that the ringgit will be abandoned and only the RMB will be used as the only currency in circulation, and the West will not dare to do anything to us."
If they act rashly, many countries such as the Fimatai will have the fear that everyone is in danger and have the same hatred for the enemy, and then the 600 million Southeast Asian people will think: You use financial tools to harvest the wealth we have accumulated over the years, and we are not allowed to decouple from the dollar in order to avoid suspicion, so how much will the people's anger gather?
Can the countries of Oceania and Brittana commit the crime of putting 600 million people in danger in order to suppress the defection of a country of 80,000 people? It is better to leave us as a signboard for their 'economy to be the economy' and to whitewash that 'the White House and Downing Street are not the dogs of Wall Street and the City of Finance.'" ”
Although the White House is the dog of Wall Street, the dog also wants to save face.
"Makes sense...... This is a far-reaching point. Zhu Youdong pondered for a long time, and finally nodded frequently, "Wu Yang should have told you about the opening of national infrastructure to private capital before, right? Since you know so much about these industries, let it go, what do you think, as long as you can be wholly owned, or get money, I will take care of the relevant departments of construction, only for the record, and for approval." In terms of planning, just breathe. ”
After today's meeting, he was basically relieved about Gu Kun's overall view.
"Thank you, Your Highness Yucheng, then I will improve the follow-up investment plan in the next few days, and then please take a look at it. ”
