Chapter 70: I Don't Want This Either

The second over-fall of the baht was deeper than the first, but it was not as explosive.

It's the same as frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination, and it has been falling for a whole month or two.

This is also completely in line with the law of investment, because the first wave of over-falling, the reason why the instant decline is large, is entirely because before it happened, it broke through the lazy policy of the "bound exchange rate system" of the Thai baht, just like the moment of the dam collapse, the flow must be very huge.

In the second wave of the over-falling market, the lazy government of the bundle is gone, and there is no explosiveness of "accumulating strength and holding back the big move", and how many new negative news every day can be digested in time. No matter how heavy the rain falls, there will be no dam bursting peaks.

On October 1, Chulawangkorn, who was in charge of Thailand's finance department, was finally dismissed, and the exchange rate of the Thai baht has fallen by 52% compared to mid-August.

Perhaps the prime minister and the king felt that it was almost time to settle the pot, and let Chulawanggong carry it first, so that the successors could travel lightly and not be disturbed by the resentment of the people.

In the past month, Gu Kun did not continue to live in Xiangjiang or go to Thailand, but quietly returned to Lanfang and disappeared for a month.

As for the reason for the disappearance, it is also normal: his Mazi and his sister have gone back to school, and the happy days of summer vacation are over.

He himself felt that Xiangjiang was tired of playing, and he only stayed in Xiangjiang, a shopping paradise, to accompany his sister, and since his sister was gone, he would leave.

Moreover, I heard that the Grand Duke of Lan Fang was still a little dissatisfied with Gu Kun's blatant raising women outside, so after returning to Lan Fang, he persuaded Gu Kun to ground himself in disguise, and by the way, discussed Lan Fang's future and how to deal with himself in this Thai baht crisis.

Kong Shangzhong and those Xiangjiang investment tycoons thought about talking to Gu Kun about their experiences and real expectations for the market, but Gu Kun was inconvenient, so they didn't get in touch.

In the same way, there are also relevant Thai departments, and even Soros's people, who also want to explore Gu Kun's tone, and for the same reason, he was temporarily coldly treated.

"I heard that Grand Duke Lan Fang originally considered marrying his daughter to him and recruiting Gu Kun as his son-in-law. As a result, Gu Kun made a fortune during the summer vacation, he was too arrogant, played with women in Xiangjiang in a high-profile manner, and also hired a few female stars. The Grand Duke can't pull down his face, so he has to ground Gu Kun to regain the dignity of the royal family.

In fact, I heard that Gu Kun's strength has far surpassed Zhu Youdong, and it is impossible for the other party to ground him. But after all, he is from Lanfang, and he still has to give the Grand Duke face, and pretending to be restrained by the other party also seems that it is not too embarrassing for the Grand Duke to find a playboy as a son-in-law in the future. This is called a sedan chair carrying people. ”

In Xiangjiang, and even in Southeast Asia as a whole, most high-level circles, who think they are well-informed, are secretly saying this, and they all believe in this setting.

Because it's quite logical.

......

In mid-October, Thailand's finance ministry finally welcomed a new speaker after more than a week of vacancy in the post of governor.

This Chulawangkorn successor was named Durad Tom Yum Gong. After he took office, it took him a week to straighten out the situation, but the trend of the baht continuing to decline slightly did not stop.

From October 14 to October 20, the decline fell further from 52% to 54%.

This is not the way to go, and a breakthrough must be found.

On the morning of October 21, Durad was in his office looking at the report at a loss when an assistant put a piece of information on his desk:

"Minister, here's a piece of news that may be of interest to you. ”

Durard lifted his glasses, picked up the fax and glanced at it.

"Lanfang Hilton International Conference Hotel is officially unveiled...... Isn't this just a high-end five-star hotel opening? What kind of important news is this......? Grand Duke Lan Fang and Gu Kun will attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony and receive the guests. ”

It turned out that the Hilton Hotel in Lanfang was a project set during the Olympic Games last year, and then the survey and design were completed in September, and then the construction began, counting the days, and it has been 14 months now.

Even the construction and decoration took only 14 months, which can be regarded as a kind of "Chinese speed", if the Thai people will definitely not be able to do it.

Seeing this, Durard smacked the deep meaning: "You mean, this is Zhu Youdong's violation of the dignity of the royal family because of the previous summer, Gu Kun looking for flowers and asking Liu, which can be regarded as an exposé? Zhu Youdong lifted the ban on Gu Kun."

That's it, I'm going to look for him for a while, make arrangements for me, I'll fly to Lanfang this weekend and talk to him in person. Now let's see if Gu Kun dares to do it, and if he says that he will not be an enemy of our Thai side, he will obediently close his position and stop shorting. ”

Durad vaguely remembered that many of the medium and long-term positions in Gu Kun's hands were originally due to expire around November.

However, because any futures has a term range that allows delivery, for example, Gu Kun makes options of three to six months, then it is compliant to close the position at any time during these three months. Whether he sells in three months or six months depends on his mood and prediction of the market prospects.

On the Thai side, of course, I hope that Gu Kun will be sold as soon as it arrives in 3 months. But what I am most afraid of now is that if Gu Kun thinks that he can still fall and pinch it until 6 months, the Thai side will not be able to do anything.

That's why Durad wants to negotiate with the other side and tries to convince the other side.

"Okay minister, I'll arrange it. The assistant immediately took the order and left.

......

A few days later, on a weekend at the end of October, Doolittle took a connecting flight to Lanfang International Airport.

When he got off the plane, Doolittle couldn't help but look at Lanfang Airport and the surrounding environment with the eyes of an executive from a major tourism country.

"The airport is quite elegant and the facilities are all tropical. But this route arrangement is really rubbish! There is not even a direct flight from Bangkok to here! Why do you want to transfer from Yuezhou, what a broken plan!"

It turns out that there are only more than 1,600 kilometers from Bangkok to Lanfang, which is 700 kilometers closer than the 2,300 kilometers from Feilanfang in Guangdong. If he can fly non-stop, Doolittle can save time.

But who makes Thailand also a tropical tourism country, Thailand is in competition with the blue side in the tourism industry, very few people will come to the blue side from Thailand to travel, if a special route is set up, it must be operating at a loss.

Therefore, since the completion of Lanfang International Airport, in addition to the initial routes to Beijing, Yuezhou and Hujiang in China, a few routes have been opened in the following four or five months.

They are from Seoul/Tokyo/Wanwan North Feilanfang, Seoul and Tokyo have more planes, two flights a day, and fewer planes from Wanwan, one flight a day. In total, there are five or six hundred Japanese and Korean tourists and hundreds of Huaxia Bay tourists every day.

The other competing neighbors, on the contrary, do not have a single route.

Originally, if Doolittle felt that it was a waste to take a long detour, he could actually choose to fly from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur and then to Kuching, and then take a yacht from Kuching for dozens of nautical miles to Lanfang.

However, as a high-level dignitary, he obviously did not plan to toss, and would rather fly two thousand kilometers more in the sky than turn one more time on the ground.

"The construction idea of the Lanfang people is to clearly list themselves as the backyard of China, Japan and South Korea, but they have drawn a clear line with our ASEAN brothers, hum, this kind of country is obviously a traitor to ASEAN!"

Du Yide couldn't help but complain in his heart, which can be regarded as characterizing the country of Lanfang.

After leaving the airport, his chartered car passed through the airport island sea-crossing bridge two or three kilometers long, and saw that at the other end of the bridge, there was a skyscraper with more than 30 floors and a height of more than 100 meters.

There is also a green and unconventional square next to the building, which looks magnificent. Neat coconut palms, plantain trees, and beautiful flower beds with countless tropical flowers.

Even tens of thousands of tons of white sand were screened from the adjacent coral reef island, and the original mud on the beach attached to this high-rise building was dredged and dug up, and replaced it with white sand to fill it, which should be a lot of work.

This is the Lanfang Hilton International Conference Hotel, which will open tomorrow and cut the ribbon.

It is also the first building in China with a height of more than 100 meters.

94 years ago, the highest house in Lan Fang was 12 floors, which was the office building of local wealthy businessmen such as Sa Wuyang and Zhu Jingye, and later Gu Kun wanted to build a four-star conference hotel, so he first asked Lin Ying's family to borrow money to get one, which was about 20 floors, and it was used for a few years in an emergency to attract the public-funded conference group in China, and Lin Ying's business also made a small profit.

Now it's a complete shotgun change, and even Hilton is on it. (The word "shang" here refers to the upper project, not the upper woman)

"Lan Fang people have changed their guns in recent years, such a big battle, it seems that high-end tourism is really ambitious. Doolittle was secretly alert.

Because the hotel had not yet opened, it was impossible for him to stay here, so he had to go to the best conference hotel on the island, that is, the hotel opened by Lin Ying's family.

The next day, as an "international friend", Du Little participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and was invited to the stage to say some compliments - Thailand is also a big tourism country in Southeast Asia, so the Lan side must invite Du Lide, a person who has "seen the world", to come to the stage to evaluate the quality of Lan Fang's service.

Doolittle has a request for others, so he can only say some beautiful words openly and secretly, and his words reveal that "the facilities here are more high-end than Bangkok and Pattaya/Phuket, and it is worthy of Gu Kun's production must be a high-quality product".

Anyway, he is in charge of Thailand's Ministry of Finance, and his own troubles are the most important, and the affairs of the cultural and tourism department can only die first.

At the ceremony, Gu Kun unabashedly put his arms around Miss Pabrie, who represented the Hilton Hotel, and expressed his gratitude to the guests as the host.

At the reception after the ceremony, Pabrie, who was still holding a butterfly wearing flowers, was still in her arms, and she was walking around, which was very high-profile.

Everyone knows that in the past year, Miss Pabrie has flown to Lanfang more than ten times, at least for two or three days, and at most for a week. Thousands of miles of friendship, it was conquered by Gu Kun.

Du Yide finally seized an opportunity, and went up to Gu Kun to find out his intentions directly:

"Mr. Gu, congratulations on your good start, I heard that your Thai baht short selling option is about to reach the trading ban period, I wonder if you plan to close the position immediately?"

Gu Kun retracted his frivolous expression, and even the hand that pressed on Pabrie's body relaxed, and he just hugged his waist in a proper manner, and after thinking about it, he replied: "I have always been a value investor, and this has never changed." ”

"That's willing to sell?"

"It's not convenient here, let's talk to the side. ”

Selling must be sold, but the words must be made clear, and the Thai man must owe his brother a favor. was made so much money by my brother, and I have to thank my brother.
