Chapter 0685 - Evacuation of Southeast Asia (2)

The financial crisis has brought all-round harm to the economy and society, which can be seen from the global financial turmoil in 2008, which most people have experienced, and the financial tsunami caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States soon swept the world.

Manufacturing giants such as General Motors failed to survive the storm and eventually had to survive through bankruptcy and restructuring, which is a testament to the destructive power of the company.

Although the Southeast Asian financial crisis is not as good as the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, its destructive power can never be underestimated, and the reason why the domestic financial crisis is not very impressed is because the scope of the crisis does not involve the mainland, and the most affected are Thailand, Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries, as well as China's Hong Kong and Taiwan.

At that time, the Quantum Fund led by Soros attempted to launch an attack on Hong Kong's LERS, shorting a large number of Hong Kong dollars in the foreign exchange market, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority resolutely counterattacked, relying on the central government's foreign exchange reserves of more than US$100 billion, buying a large number of Hong Kong dollars, and finally preserving Hong Kong's LERS.

Once the crisis breaks out, Thailand, Singapore, and other countries will abandon the fixed exchange rate system and adopt a floating exchange rate system, and the currencies of Southeast Asian countries such as the Thai baht and the Singapore dollar will depreciate sharply.

All sales operations carried out by Tianming Group in Southeast Asia must be settled in the local legal tender, and once the local currency depreciates, exporters like him must bear the brunt, and the losses caused are difficult to measure.

This is not the most serious, once Thailand and other countries implement foreign exchange controls, the domestic money cannot be remitted, and all the funds obtained by the Tianming Group there can only be left in the local area, and cannot be converted into RMB.

Therefore, Zhou Jingming not only has to gradually suspend his sales business in Southeast Asia, but also convert all local foreign exchange into RMB as soon as possible!

But all this, Zhou Jingming couldn't tell Xu Weidong that the financial crisis broke out in July this year, and there was still half a year to go, because they did not invest in Southeast Asia to build a factory, and the remaining time was enough for them to minimize their losses.

"Second brother, I can't explain the specific reason, there will be a group meeting in the afternoon, you can participate in it then, after the meeting, you may have to go to Southeast Asia. Zhou Jingming looked at Xu Weidong and said very seriously.

"Okay, then I'll go and get ready right away. Xu Weidong didn't ask much, Zhou Jingming was the person who spoke about Tianming Group, what he said, Xu Weidong just did it.

At the group meeting in the afternoon, when Zhou Jingming announced that he would suspend sales in Southeast Asia, the whole conference room was in an uproar, and it was obvious that he could not understand why Zhou Jingming made this decision.

"Southeast Asia is one of the three major markets of our group, why did you give up?"

"If we lose the Southeast Asian market, our sales will be reduced by at least one-fifth!"

"It took so much effort to have today's market position, and Toyota, the island car manufacturers, must not be happy to die?"

…………

In the face of so many people's doubts, Zhou Jingming didn't say anything, time will prove everything, and it is useless to say more.

The chairman called you this time, not to let you talk nonsense, all departments cooperate with the sales company to do a good job of dealing with the aftermath, and don't ask a word that shouldn't be asked. ”

Zhao Ke, who was sitting next to Zhou Jingming, said with a calm face.

As soon as Zhao Ke said this, the entire conference room immediately fell silent, and no one dared to say anything more, although they had not seen Zhou Jingming's angry appearance, but no one dared to challenge the authority of this young man.

"In addition, this matter must be kept strictly confidential, and the sales company must try to be as quiet as possible when dealing with it. Zhou Jingming added.

It is definitely impossible to completely do it without knowing it, but the "Yan Huang" car is about to go on sale, and Zhou Jingming doesn't want to affect the sale of the new car because of this incident.

"Knowing the chairman, I will grasp the scale. Xu Weidong nodded.

"In addition, this matter is mainly handled by the sales company, and the rest of the companies can do a good job of cooperating, and the main focus is still on the sale of Yanhuang, there is not much left before the sale time, and everyone must not be distracted. ”

At present, the Yanhuang car is already undergoing road tests, and the production base in Chuncheng is also conducting a small batch of online trials, which can be officially put into production in May at most, which is the most important thing at present.

After the meeting, Zhou Jingming left Xu Weidong and Zhao Ke behind.

"This time in Southeast Asia, starting from Thailand, must be gradual, foreign exchange matters, I have asked Lao Ma to assist you in dealing with it, you just have to do a good job in the aftermath of the dealership. Zhou Jingming said to Xu Weidong as he walked.

This time the Southeast Asian crisis first broke out in Thailand, and Thailand is the most important market of Tianming Group in Southeast Asia.

"Well, I know. Then I'll leave tomorrow. Xu Weidong nodded, "I've already arranged it for the South American market, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Good work. Zhou Jingming said sincerely. If you want to say who is the hardest in the whole group, Zhou Jingming feels that it is none other than Xu Weidong, who spends almost all of his time abroad throughout the year, and it is no wonder that not everyone can do the position of sales.

After a few more words of advice to the two people, Zhou Jingming separated from them.

When they were separated, Zhao Ke suddenly stopped Zhou Jingming, "Jingming, there won't be any problems this time, right?"

To be honest, Zhao Ke has no fewer doubts in his heart than others, but as the general manager of the group, the more he should stand firmly on Zhou Jingming's side at this time, so he will ask Zhou Jingming this question very carefully when there is no one around.

"It's okay, trust me. Zhou Jingming turned around and replied very firmly.

"Good. Then I'm busy. After getting Zhou Jingming's affirmative answer, Zhao Ke chose to believe in Zhou Jingming again, because for so many years, Zhou Jingming's decision-making has never been wrong.

According to Zhou Jingming's deployment, Xu Weidong soon arrived in Southeast Asia and first worked in Thailand.

As the saying goes, it is easy to invite Buddha and send Buddha, and it is not easy to persuade these dealers to support Tianming Group's decision, Xu Weidong met with three dealers in succession, all of which ended in failure.

On the other hand, Ma Xudong also began to convert Tianming Group's deposits in Southeast Asia into RMB, leaving only a small part for the normal operation of the office in the future.

In this way, more than a month passed quickly, and the time came to March.

At first, no one noticed the abnormality of Tianming Group in Southeast Asia, but as time went by, the market gap left by Tianming Group became more and more obvious.
