Chapter 79: Fighting Back Strongly

In less than half a month, hundreds of millions of dollars of expenses were spent like flowing water, but it also allowed Gu Kun to thoroughly sort out and integrate the interests of the Lan Fang up and down.

The more than 500 million US dollars are not between Gu Kun and Zhu Youdong, but are really distributed to civilians, and even foreign insurance companies and real estate developers in Sarawak. This money, in the future Hong Kong dollar crisis, will no longer be able to be organized by Gu Kun as ammunition, and if it is scattered, it will be scattered.

If someone in this world opens the perspective of God and can know twenty years in advance and twenty years later, then he may question whether it is cost-effective for Gu Kun to spend so much money at this juncture?

After all, the reborn know the history, know the Southeast Asian financial crisis and even the peak of the Internet stock bubble in 99, which is the highlight of doubling assets by multiples.

However, Gu Kun obviously fully thought of all these possibilities, and still insisted on doing so.

Because he firmly believes that there will not be such a good opportunity for internal integration in the future. Whether it is persuading immigrants or integrating land resources, the Lan side is now at a low level of financial crisis.

If there is no crisis, maybe you spend $1 billion, or even $2 billion, to completely rectify the country, but you may not be able to achieve such high efficiency and consistency, and maybe there will be more insatiable charter public nail households, adding to Gu Kun's overall view.

Therefore, the internal clean-up and reshuffle must seize the financial crisis as the best opportunity for resource integration.

Of course, in addition to subsidizing the money to immigrants and foreign insurance/real estate companies, Gu Kun also had an expenditure of about 200 million US dollars during this time, which belonged to the left hand to the right hand - that is, from his personal assets, to pay the royal family and the relevant departments of the Lan government.

This money is used to buy land.

The reason why Zhu Youdong wants to sell the land is mainly because of the large financial gap caused by the national income tax reform of Lanfang.

The Lantian authorities already have a series of government construction and national guarantees, which require large sums of money, and government spending is even more scarce during the financial crisis.

Therefore, in the process of this series of subsidies, the relevant departments did not have enough money to spend, so they accelerated the sale of land.

As we all know, the surrounding desert islands in Lanfang were not very expensive a few years ago, and when Gu Kun bought the Benma Atoll, the land of 8.5 square kilometers was only sold for three or four million ringgit, which was only 10 million yuan at the exchange rate at that time.

However, that price is the transfer of benefits at the time of judicial auction, and the discount is very large. Under normal circumstances, the concession of uninhabited islands with water and vegetation will always sell for millions of dollars per square kilometer, not including the rights and interests in the territorial sea and exclusive economic zone.

This time, because the economic crisis caused the price of land to plummet, and Gu Kun and the royal family have such a good relationship, it can be regarded as half selling and half giving away. In the end, Gu Kun spent more than 200 million US dollars to acquire a series of outlying islands in the eastern part of Lanfang, totaling more than 100 square kilometers of land, as well as the rights and interests of the attached marine economic exclusive zone.

However, Zhu Youdong still kept a hand, and always felt that Gu Kun had a plan, so he proposed some benefit sharing of state-owned shares: the government will collect 30% of the revenue as a share and tax for all the future income from operating in the above areas, the royal family will account for 15%, and the developer can only get the remaining 55%.

Gu Kun finally accepted this condition.

It's not that he's not greedy enough, it's that he knows that if he does find oil in the future, he won't be able to swallow it all. Even if a company from Oceania or Brittany invests, it has to pay taxes according to the rules, right?

Most of the revenue of oil companies is profit, and most countries have to have a corporate income tax of 25%.

The previous corporate income tax was very low, because there were no large companies in the blue side before, and they wanted to attract foreign investment, so the income tax on enterprises was as low as that of the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, and Panama, which was close to a tax haven.

But if there is oil, it will definitely have to be a different national policy.

Gu Kun directly shared 30% of the tax belt to block the mouth of the Lan authorities, confirming the power and responsibility, there is nothing bad.

……

Gu Kun finished all this in Lanfang, and the time had entered the middle of December 97.

It has been more than ten days since Soros sprayed him in the media.

The depreciation of the Malaysian ringgit is also about to pass and stabilize. Now Soros's focus has shifted to attacking both the Philippine peso and the Indonesian rupiah.

And Gu Kun, because all the dirty money was spent on the right path, felt that he could finally respond positively to Soros.

On the same day, he said that he would be interviewed by Thai state television in Bangkok, as well as some Malaysian media in Kuala Lumpur.

The media in Southeast Asian countries, of course, also want to see someone attack Soros head-on, so they are very efficient, and immediately arranged a schedule for Gu Kun.

Friday, December 12. Gu Kun went to Kuala Lumpur and participated in a weekend evening talk show, similar to CNN's "Larry King Live" in Oceania, and the Malays also specially sent Dani Gran, the most beautiful and popular female host of national television, to set up a stage for Gu Kun.

Most mainland audiences have never heard of the name Dani Gran, but her face must have been seen, because in the late 90s and early 21st century, when I watched the OLAY Olay advertisement, the white and smooth white face on it was Dani Gran's, she was a mixed Chinese and Malay local, and she also mixed a little Irish ancestry, and went to Xiangjiang to train as a supermodel.

But now it's only 97 years old, and she is still a 20-year-old newcomer who has just debuted. In Malaysia, a country that doesn't produce many beautiful women, such a face can be regarded as overwhelming.

The show is not broadcast live, but is broadcast live after recording, so the atmosphere is more relaxed, and it can be cut out if you encounter discordant questions.

Gu Kun will not deliberately pursue the effect of live broadcast, because Soros's response back then was just an audio and video recording.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Kun rushed to the studio and made preparations.

With the lights and cameras ready, hostess Dani Gran first raised a question that the audience was most concerned about according to the script:

"Mr. Gu Kun, I'm sure many viewers want to know, why did you disappear for so long to respond after Soros responded to your criticism last time?"

Gu Kun subconsciously touched his tie, showing that he was very close to the people and didn't usually wear a tie: "Really, when did you know that Soros responded to me?"

Dani: "That was 12 days ago. ”

Gu Kun: "That's really unfortunate, I only heard about it a few days ago, three days at most, maybe I'm too busy to notice - but that's nothing, after my last choking, Mr. Soros should have responded after a long time, right?"

So I got impatient and didn't pay attention, I thought he wouldn't respond. I believe that most ordinary people don't pay attention to financial news all the time. ”

Regardless of the content, the gesture of "Lao Tzu looks down on you" must be put on first.

Dani didn't continue to dwell on it, and immediately took the opportunity to ask: "Mr. Soros said that you are the same as him, and you criticize him in your mouth, but you act like him, focusing on shorting the ringgit." He also said that he was at best a true villain, and that you were a hypocrite, so what would you like to explain about that?"

Gu Kun smiled: "This is very ridiculous, I said that if I criticize him for his sabotage, I will not be with him." As for the short position I bought in the ringgit, it was just a coincidence, because the ringgit was originally one of the local currencies of the country, and I bought some hedging protection to hedge risks with the total amount of national financial assets, which had nothing to do with speculation.

I have two pieces of evidence, first of all, my benefits are indeed the actions of the Lantian government and used by the Lantian country to avoid risks. Secondly, Soros should have also taken action on the Philippine peso and the Indonesian rupiah, but on those two currencies, I did nothing. ”

Dany's eyes lit up, half adoring and half disbelieving, "Can you prove where the proceeds went? Did you start doing this after he lashed out at you?"

Gu Kun didn't fall into the trap at all: "I don't know when he attacked me." ”

The hostess glanced at the information at hand: "Mr. Soros publicly refuted you on Fox TV in Atlanta, it was on November 28th. ”

Gu Kun smiled lightly: "Then I am undoubtedly earlier than him, I have already started to use the income of risk hedging for national hedging around November 25th." ”

As for the income of Gu Kun's hedging, Gu Kun also showed some evidence materials with sufficient probative force in public.

The hostess cooperated in cross-examining them one by one, and finally cleared up the mystery in this regard.

Then, the show entered the rhythm of Gu Kun's all-out counterattack on Soros and revealing the opponent's old bottom.

“…… Soros claims that he is a philosopher and that his investment practices are only to 'teach the world to know the world correctly'. Then I have to remind him that the so-called 'philosophy' he upholds is nothing more than the idea of absolute free market that he wants to promote, and the success or failure of an investment does not prove anything at all.

According to him, is it true that when he failed in his investment miserably, it proved that absolute financial freedom was just a ridiculous conjecture? If he upholds such a sanctimonious posture and can also represent the official attitude of the Oceanic countries, then I wonder if the Southeast Asian countries have since shifted from absolute financial freedom to financial macroeconomic regulation and control, and whether it is also within his calculations?

If he thinks so, then I would like to congratulate the authorities of the Oceania countries, Wall Street has succeeded in pushing a group of followers who believed in absolute financial freedom into the opposite side through a lackey. And Soros is not a philosopher at all, he only succeeded by chance by taking advantage of the goodwill trust of an ally.

Just like the Chinese history we are familiar with, Han Xin may have had many military exploits in his life, but the success of the sneak attack on Qi is not a glorious achievement, because the reason why Qi was attacked was because the King of Qi had trusted the persuasion of the Han King's envoy Li Shiqi and was ready to join the Han sphere of influence.

Soros's so-called freedom is just consuming the trust of allies, and this trust has been easily obtained by relying on the strong position of globalization since the collapse of Lucia in 1991, so Oceania does not cherish it. ”
