Chapter 37 Drinking to Quench Thirst

The ass determines the mind.

People think differently depending on where they are located.

Like in the eyes of most people, banks, are vampires, hateful capitalists.

They survive by pumping the blood of businesses and individuals.

All banks are not going to be in trouble.

Banks never lend money to a person when they need it most.

When a person has so much money that he can't spend it all, the bank runs to kneel and lick it every day.

And when a person is on the verge of bankruptcy at the most critical level, the bank will push it by the way, and the loan will be stuck and the person will be stuck in bankruptcy.

But from the bank's point of view, it's a different story entirely.

If a person has sufficient assets, lending him money will reduce the risk that the loan will not be recovered.

When a person is facing bankruptcy, it is natural to do his best to repay the loan to minimize the risk of loss faced by the bank.

It's conscientiousness, it's devotion to duty.

George King is a very conscientious man.

He is a very responsible banker in terms of dedication.

Although he has all the meanness and cold-bloodedness of all the bankers.

But that doesn't deny that he's a best-qualified banker.

So, George King is also struggling with a problem.

If you analyze it as an investment target, Thailand is an investment target whose fundamentals are so bad that they can't be worse.

Total liabilities are as high as $17.6 billion, not to mention that there is no sustainable source of repayment.

This is because Thailand's foreign exchange-earning exports are mainly concentrated in agriculture, jewelry, oil and some low-processing goods.

These are not worth a few bucks at all.

According to Thailand's current trade deficit, Thailand may not even be able to pay the interest on its debts by exporting these things.

Now Thailand is a complete poor.

For this kind of goods, it is absolutely impossible to lend him money.

No professional bank would lend money to Thailand today.

This is the basic professional instinct of being a banker, the chief executive of a bank.

Isn't it stupid to lend him money knowing that he can't afford to pay it back?

As for sending charcoal in the snow, George King never thought about it.

Therefore, while the Thai side is thinking about the purpose of Standard Chartered Bank to lend money to Thailand, George King is also thinking about why he wants to lend money to Standard Chartered.

George King knows very well what his boss is.

Greedy and cunning, and his heart is blacker than coal.

Now let him lend money to Thailand, that is definitely a conspiracy.

But alas, let George King break his head.

I can't ride my sister.

Up to four billion dollars!

That is, the current Thailand is packaged and sold, and I am afraid that it will not be able to sell for so much money.

George King was full of doubts, and after thinking of a reason, he had to call his boss to confirm something.

Now the application from the Thai side has been handed over.

He had to make another confirmation.

......

Magic City.

In a newly built house in Zhabei.

Zhao Jiangchuan sat in the living room with a big grin.

Opposite him were two middle-aged couples in their mid-fifties.

The man's name is Ouyang Zhen, and the woman's name is Shen Ju.

They are Ouyang Lan's parents, and if they count, they can also be regarded as Zhao Jiangchuan's father-in-law and mother-in-law.

One of them.

Normally, in the face of the father-in-law and mother-in-law who have not yet been determined, they must stumble.

Say something flattering, and stutter when it's okay, that's human nature.

But Zhao Jiangchuan's guy is simply bullshit.

Since he entered the door of Ouyang's house, he had no intention of stammering with his future mother-in-law at all.

On the contrary, it is the future mother-in-law and father-in-law who are trying to please him.

Because, now, outside the courtyard of Ouyang's house all the way to the alley on the side of the road, there is a long row of luxury cars parked.

Parked in the courtyard was an expensive Bentley.

In the back, there are Mercedes Benzes.

And at the entrance of Ouyang Lan's living room, a sack was thrown.

It was full of bundles of blue heads of four old men.

So...

"Egawa. If this girl Lan Lan dares to play any petty role, you can tell your uncle. I asked her mother to educate her well, this woman must not be used to it, and she must not rely on everything. ”

"Yes. Your uncle is right. In this life, a woman is to be knowledgeable and reasonable, and her husband and children. If Lan Lan is not sensible, you remember to tell your aunt, and I will talk about her. ”

Ouyang Lan of the gang was full of dissatisfaction on her face.

Since Zhao Jiangchuan entered the door, her biological daughter has become a child daughter-in-law who has been picked up.

There was not a good word for her.

Zhao Jiangchuan became her parents' biological son again.

The delicious food and drink are waiting, not to mention, and it is okay to ask for warmth.

This kind of treatment, her daughter has never enjoyed even when she was sick when she was a child.

What made Ouyang Lan even more depressed was that.

Zhao Jiangchuan sat with a big grin like an uncle, and he didn't feel flattered at all.

The leader was like a leader who came to their house to inspect, not to meet the father-in-law and the future son-in-law of the mother-in-law.

In Ouyang Lan's secretly rolled eyes, Zhao Jiangchuan smiled.

"Lan Lan is very well-behaved, she listens to me for everything, uncles and aunts can rest assured. ”

"That's good, that's good. ”

"Xiaochuan, what do you think is better to eat at noon? By the way, you are from Ludao, so you like to eat seafood. Auntie makes more seafood, what do you think?"

"It's okay, I've never been a picky eater, Auntie..."

Zhao Jiangchuan didn't finish speaking, and then paused.

With an apologetic look, he picked up the phone he was carrying.

The phone was vibrating, it was a call from George King.

After Zhao Jiangchuan glanced at it, he pressed the call button.

"George. There's a reaction from Thailand?"

"Yes, boss. ”

"What do you say. ”

"I did as you commanded, and told them that they could lend them no more than four billion dollars in the form of regular peer-to-peer lending. ”

"How did they reply. ”

"At the moment, there is no clear reply. But boss, there is one thing I don't understand, with the current situation in Thailand, if we lend them money in the form of peer lending, they will definitely not be able to replace it on time. ”

A demonic smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Jiangchuan's mouth.

He said in a different position.

"I know. George, we have a long-term view. Just one Thailand can't sell it for a few dollars, so it's better to help them get through this difficulty, don't you say? ”

I believe you're a ghost.

George King despised someone in his heart.

Then he spoke.

"Boss, will they refuse our help. I think the Thai side will definitely guess what's wrong with this. Boss, there's one thing I have to warn you of, that... We have a bit of a bad reputation. ”

"George. How can you say that we have a bad reputation?

“......”

George King was silent.

It was a long time before he replied.

"Boss, don't you count it yourself?"

"Haha... George, I almost forgot if you didn't say so. Thanks for the reminder. But we have an idiom in China called drinking water to quench thirst. Do you know what that means?"

On the other end of the line, George King shrugged.

"I'm sorry! ”

"With the current situation in Thailand, they are like a hungry... Rats, no bank will lend them money except us.

Their only option was to seek help from the IMF.

But Thailand will not use SDRs unless it is a last resort.

So, even if they knew that the pie might be poisonous, they had to give it to me. ”
